ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1    The Merger.

1.2    Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at the offices of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, on a date which shall be no later than three (3) business days after the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) of all of the conditions set forth inARTICLE VII hereof (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or permitted waiver thereof), unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by Hexcel and Woodward. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

1.3    Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary”) a certificate of merger relating to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”), executed in accordance with, and in such form as is required by, the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and, as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date, shall make all other filings required under the DGCL or by the Delaware Secretary in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the time that the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Delaware Secretary, or at such later time as Hexcel and Woodward shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (such time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

-2-

1.4    Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

1.5    Conversion of Hexcel Common Stock and Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Hexcel, Woodward, Merger Sub or the holders of any securities of Hexcel, Woodward or Merger Sub:

(a)    Each share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Entity, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Entity. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Entity into which such shares of Merger Sub Common Stock were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b)    Subject toSection 2.2(e), each share of Hexcel Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for shares of Hexcel Common Stock that are owned by Woodward, Hexcel or Merger Sub (in each case other than shares of Hexcel Common Stock held in trust accounts, managed accounts, mutual funds and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary or agency capacity that are beneficially owned by third parties) (the “Cancelled Shares”), shall be converted into the right to receive 0.6250 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”, and such shares, the “Merger Consideration”) of Woodward Common Stock.

(c)    All of the shares of Hexcel Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to thisARTICLE I shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate (each, an “Old Certificate,” it being understood that any reference herein to “Old Certificate” shall be deemed to include reference tobook-entry account statements relating to the ownership of shares of Hexcel Common Stock) previously representing any such shares of Hexcel Common Stock shall thereafter represent only the right to receive (i) a New Certificate representing the number of whole shares of Woodward Common Stock which such shares of Hexcel Common Stock have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to thisSection 1.5, (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares which the shares of Hexcel Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to thisSection 1.5 andSection 2.2(e), without any interest thereon and (iii) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant toSection 2.2, in each case, without any interest thereon. If, prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Hexcel Common Stock or Woodward Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, or there shall be any extraordinary dividend or distribution, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio to give Woodward and the holders of shares of Hexcel Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event;provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed to permit Hexcel or Woodward to take any action with respect to its securities or otherwise that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

-3-

(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the Effective Time, all Cancelled Shares shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no Woodward Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

1.6    Treatment of Hexcel Equity Awards

(a)    At the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Hexcel Common Stock (a “Hexcel Stock Option”) that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, is outstanding and unexercised shall be converted into an option to purchase shares of Woodward Common Stock (an “Assumed Option”) having the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Hexcel Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any extended post-termination exercise period that applies following consummation of the Merger), except that (i) all Assumed Options corresponding to Hexcel Stock Options that are outstanding on the date of this Agreement shall be fully vested, (ii) the number of shares of Woodward Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) subject to the Assumed Option will be equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Hexcel Common Stock subject to the corresponding Hexcel Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, (iii) the exercise price per share of Woodward Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) subject to the Assumed Option will be equal to the quotient of (A) the exercise price per share of Hexcel Common Stock of such corresponding Hexcel Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and (iv) all references to the “Company” in Hexcel’s 2013 Incentive Stock Plan or 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, as applicable (the “Hexcel Stock Plan”), and the Hexcel Stock Option agreements will be references to Woodward.

(b)    At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award (or portion thereof) covering shares of Hexcel Common Stock that does not provide for performance-based vesting (a “Hexcel RSU Award”) and that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, is outstanding and vested (or otherwise will vest in accordance with its terms as a result of the occurrence of the Merger) (a “Hexcel Vested RSU Award”), but excluding any Hexcel Vested RSU Award the settlement of which is deferred beyond the vesting date pursuant to the applicable award agreement or any deferral election (a “Hexcel Vested/Deferred RSU Award”), shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, a number of shares of Woodward Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Hexcel Common Stock covered by such Hexcel Vested RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, subject to any applicable withholding Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of thisSection 1.6, vesting based on continued employment or other service shall not be considered aperformance-based vesting provision.

(c)    At the Effective Time, each Hexcel RSU Award (or portion thereof) that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, is outstanding and is not a Hexcel Vested RSU Award (a “Hexcel Unvested RSU Award”) and each Hexcel Vested/Deferred RSU Award (any such Hexcel Unvested RSU Award or Hexcel Vested/Deferred RSU Award, a “Hexcel Rollover RSU Award”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, shall be assumed by Woodward and converted automatically at the Effective Time into a restricted stock unit award covering Woodward Common Stock (an “Assumed RSU Award”) having the same

-4-

terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Hexcel Rollover RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) each Assumed RSU Award will cover that number of shares of Woodward Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Hexcel Common Stock that were subject to the Hexcel Rollover RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (b) the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) all references to the “Company” in the applicable Hexcel Stock Plan and Hexcel Rollover RSU Award agreements will be references to Woodward .

(d)    At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award (or portion thereof) covering shares of Hexcel Common Stock that provides for performance-based vesting (“Hexcel PSU Award”) and that is outstanding both on the date of this Agreement and immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Hexcel Single Trigger PSU Award”) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, a number of shares of Woodward Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Hexcel Common Stock covered by such Hexcel Single Trigger PSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time based on the greater of (A) actual performance and (B) performance at target, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, subject to any applicable withholding Taxes; provided, however, that for any Hexcel Single Trigger PSU Award that constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, such award shall be settled on the first date that will not result in the imposition of any tax under Section 409A of the Code in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement. For purposes of clause (i)(A) of the immediately preceding sentence, actual performance shall mean actual performance as determined in the good faith discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Hexcel Board of Directors on a date no earlier than ten days, and no later than one day, prior to the Effective Time, taking into account any necessary or appropriate adjustments to the applicable performance goals to reflect the shortened performance periods.

(e)    At the Effective Time, each Hexcel PSU Award (or portion thereof) that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, is outstanding and that is not a Hexcel Single Trigger PSU Award (a “Hexcel Rollover PSU Award”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, shall be assumed by Woodward and converted automatically at the Effective Time into an Assumed RSU Award having the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Hexcel Rollover PSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) each Assumed RSU Award will cover that number of shares of Woodward Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (A) the number of unvested shares of Hexcel Common Stock that were subject to the Hexcel Rollover PSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time assuming performance at target, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, (ii) all references to the “Company” in the applicable Hexcel Stock Plan and Hexcel Rollover PSU Award agreements will be references to Woodward, and (iii) the Assumed RSU Award will no longer be subject to performance-based vesting and will only be subject to service-based vesting.

(f)    Prior to the Effective Time, Hexcel, the Board of Directors of Hexcel and its compensation committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of thisSection 1.6.

-5-

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the application of Sections 1.6(a) through1.6(e) is subject to the Laws of anon-U.S. jurisdiction, then, to the extent that the manner in which such equity award would otherwise be treated pursuant to this Agreement would result in materially adverse Tax consequence to the individual holding such equity award, Hexcel and Woodward shall work in good faith to adjust the treatment of such equity award as commercially reasonable to avoid such adverse Tax consequence in such a manner as to yield to the holder of such equity award the economic benefit intended bySections 1.6(a)through1.6(e).

(h)    Woodward shall take all corporate actions that are necessary for the assumption of the Hexcel Equity Awards pursuant to thisSection 1.6, including the reservation, issuance and listing of Woodward Common Stock as necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by thisSection 1.6. In addition, Woodward shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as soon as reasonably practicable on or after the Closing Date a registration statement onForm S-8 (or such other applicable form) with respect to the Assumed Options, Assumed RSU Awards and Assumed PSU Awards and the shares of Woodward Common Stock underlying such awards, and shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such awards remain outstanding and such registration of the shares of Woodward Common Stock issuable thereunder continues to be required.

1.7    Treatment of Certain Woodward Awards.

(a)    At the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Woodward Common Stock (a “Woodward Stock Option”) and each restricted stock unit covering shares of Woodward Common Stock (a “Woodward RSU,” and any such Woodward RSU or Woodward Stock Option, a “Woodward Equity Award”), in each case that is (i) outstanding (and, in the case of Woodward Stock Options, unexercised) both (A) as of the date of this Agreement and (B) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) held by an employee of Woodward or any of its Subsidiaries, but excluding (x) any Woodward Equity Award that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, is held by the individual who as of immediately prior to the Effective Time is the Chief Executive Officer of Woodward, and (y) any Woodward Equity Award that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (I) is held by an employee of Woodward or any of its Subsidiaries and (II) qualifies for post-termination continued vesting pursuant to the terms of the applicable Woodward Equity Award agreement, shall be deemed amended to provide that upon a termination of such employee’s employment without “Cause” (as such term is defined in Woodward’s Amended and Restated ExecutiveChange-in-Control Severance Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.25 to the Annual Report on Form10-K filed November 12, 2014 (a “Woodward Severance Agreement”)) or a termination of employment by such employee for “Good Reason” (as such term is defined in the Woodward Severance Agreement), in either event, that occurs upon or within twenty-four (24) months following the Effective Time, such Woodward Equity Award will become fully vested, and in the case of Woodward Stock Options, fully exercisable (a “Woodward Double Trigger Vesting”).

(b)    At the Effective Time, each award granted under the Woodward Cash Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Woodward Cash LTI Plan””) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Woodward Cash LTI Award”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, shall be terminated and converted into the right to receive,

-6-

as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (or such later date as may be required by the Woodward Cash LTI Plan), without interest, and subject to any applicable withholding Taxes, a cash amount determined as the greater of (i) the target award payable in respect of such Woodward Cash LTI Award, and (ii) the portion of the award payable based on the actual, then current interim performance payout levels as determined in the good faith discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Woodward Board (or the Woodward Board or another authorized committee of the Board) based on calculations by the applicable Woodward compensation consultant, in accordance with the methodologies historically applied thereto in calculating interim performance payout levels for Woodward Cash LTI Awards, with such determination to be made on a date no earlier than ten days, and no later than one day, prior to the Effective Time, provided that such amount shall be prorated based on the portion of the3-year performance cycle that is completed using the quotient of (A) the number of completed months (including for any completed partial months, rounded down to the nearest tenth of a month) in such cycle, divided by (B) 36.

ARTICLE II

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

2.1    Woodward to Make Consideration Available. At or prior to the Effective Time, Woodward shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Woodward and reasonably acceptable to Hexcel (the “Exchange Agent”), for exchange in accordance with thisARTICLE II for the benefit of the holders of Old Certificates, certificates or, at Woodward’s option, evidence in book-entry form, representing shares of Woodward Common Stock to be issued pursuant toSection 1.5 (referred to herein as “New Certificates”), and cash in lieu of any fractional shares to be paid pursuant toSection 2.2(e) (such cash and New Certificates, together with any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Woodward Common Stock payable in accordance withSection 2.2(b), being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

2.2    Exchange of Shares.

(a)    As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than ten (10) days thereafter, Woodward shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates representing shares of Hexcel Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time that have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive Woodward Common Stock pursuant toARTICLE I, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify

-8-

that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Old Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates in exchange for New Certificates representing the number of whole shares of Woodward Common Stock and any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the shares of Hexcel Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid pursuant toSection 2.2(b). Upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate or Old Certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a New Certificate representing that number of whole shares of Woodward Common Stock to which such holder of shares of Hexcel Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions ofARTICLE I and (ii) a check representing the amount of (x) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of thisARTICLE II and (y) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant toSection 2.2(b), and the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash in lieu of fractional shares or dividends or distributions payable to holders of Old Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by thisSection 2.2, each Old Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the number of whole shares of Woodward Common Stock which the shares of Hexcel Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive and any cash in lieu of fractional shares or in respect of dividends or distributions as contemplated by thisSection 2.2.

(b)    No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Woodward Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Old Certificate in accordance with thisARTICLE II. After the surrender of an Old Certificate in accordance with thisARTICLE II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the whole shares of Woodward Common Stock that the shares of Hexcel Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive.

(c)    If any New Certificate representing shares of Woodward Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a New Certificate representing shares of Woodward Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d)    After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Hexcel of the shares of Hexcel Common Stock that were issued and outstanding

-9-

immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Old Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for New Certificates representing shares of Woodward Common Stock as provided in thisARTICLE II.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no New Certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Woodward Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Old Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Woodward Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of the Combined Company. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, the Combined Company shall pay to each former holder of shares of Hexcel Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the average of the closing-sale prices of Woodward Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”) as reported byThe Wall Street Journal for the consecutive period of five (5) full trading days ending on the day preceding the Closing Date by (ii) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of Hexcel Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time and rounded to the nearestone-thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Woodward Common Stock which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant toSection 1.5. The parties acknowledge that payment of such cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separatelybargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

(f)    Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of Hexcel for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be paid to the Combined Company. Any former holders of shares of Hexcel Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with thisARTICLE II shall thereafter look only to the Combined Company for payment of the shares of Woodward Common Stock, cash in lieu of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the Woodward Common Stock deliverable in respect of each former share of Hexcel Common Stock such holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Hexcel, Woodward, Merger Sub, the Surviving Entity, the Combined Company, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Hexcel Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(g)    Each of Hexcel, Woodward, Merger Sub, the Surviving Entity and the Combined Company, and any other person that has any withholding obligation with respect to any payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate governmental authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

-10-

(h)    In the event any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Woodward, the Combined Company or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Woodward, the Combined Company or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate the shares of Woodward Common Stock and any cash in lieu of fractional shares deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(i)    In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, no appraisal rights shall be available to holders of shares of Hexcel Common Stock or Woodward Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF WOODWARD AND MERGER SUB

Except (a) as disclosed in the disclosure schedule delivered by Woodward and Merger Sub to Hexcel concurrently herewith (the “Woodward Disclosure Schedule”);provided, that (i) the mere inclusion of an item in the Woodward Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by Woodward or Merger Sub that such item represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) any disclosures made with respect to a section ofARTICLE III shall be deemed to qualify (1) any other section ofARTICLE III specifically referenced or cross-referenced and (2) other sections ofARTICLE III to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross reference) from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure applies to such other sections or (b) as disclosed in any Woodward SEC Reports filed by Woodward prior to the date hereof (but disregarding risk factor disclosures contained under the heading “Risk Factors,” or disclosures of risks set forth in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or any other statements that are similarlynon-specific or cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature), Woodward and Merger Sub hereby represent and warrant to Hexcel as follows:

3.1    Corporate Organization.

(a)    Woodward is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Woodward has the corporate power and authority to own, lease or operate all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Woodward is duly licensed or qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned, leased or operated by it makes such licensing, qualification or standing necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or to be in good standing would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Woodward. As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to Hexcel, Woodward, Merger Sub, the Surviving Entity or the Combined Company, as the case may be, any effect, change, event, circumstance, condition,

-11-

occurrence or development that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, results of operations or financial condition of such Person and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (provided,however, that Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include the impact of (A) changes, after the date hereof, in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or applicable regulatory accounting requirements or official interpretations thereof, (B) changes, after the date hereof, in Laws, rules or regulations of general applicability to companies in the industries in which such party and its Subsidiaries operate, or interpretations thereof by courts or Governmental Entities, (C) changes, after the date hereof, in global, national or regional political conditions (including the outbreak of war or acts of terrorism) or in economic, market (including equity, credit and debt markets, as well as changes in interest rates) or other general industry-wide conditions affecting the industries in which such party and its Subsidiaries operates, (D) the announcement or the existence of, compliance with, pendency of or performance under, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the identity of the parties to this Agreement or any of their affiliates (including the impact thereof on the relationships, contractual or otherwise, of a party or any of its Subsidiaries with officers and employees, financing sources, customers, suppliers, vendors, service providers or other partners) (provided that this clause (D) shall not apply to any representation or warranty to the extent the purpose of such representation or warranty is to address the consequences resulting from the execution of or performance under this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby), (E) a decline in the trading price of a party’s common stock or any change in the credit ratings or ratings outlook for, or the availability or cost of equity, debt or other financing to, such party or any of its Subsidiaries, or the failure, in and of itself, to meet earnings projections, earnings guidance, budgets, expectations, estimates or internal financial forecasts, but not, in either case, including any underlying causes thereof to the extent not otherwise excluded pursuant to subclauses (A) through (H), (F) weather conditions or other acts of God, (G) any action required to be taken by a party or any of its Subsidiaries at the written request of the other party and (H) any actions or claims made or brought by any of the current or former stockholders of a party (or on their behalf or on behalf of such party) against another party or any of its directors, officers or employees arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; except, with respect to subclause (A), (B), (C) or (F) to the extent that the effects of such change are materially disproportionately adverse to the business, properties, results of operations or financial condition of such party and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other companies in the industry in which such party and its Subsidiaries operate). As used in this Agreement, the word “Subsidiary” when used with respect to any person, means any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, or person of which (x) such first person directly or indirectly owns or controls at least a majority of the securities or other interests having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or others performing similar functions or (y) such first person is or directly or indirectly has the power to appoint a general partner, manager or managing member or others performing similar functions. True and complete copies of the Woodward Certificate of Incorporation, the Constitution of Woodward (the “Woodward Constitution”) and the constituent documents of Merger Sub, in each case as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, have previously been made available by Woodward to Hexcel.

There are no restrictions on the ability of any Woodward Subsidiary to pay dividends or distributions except for restrictions imposed by applicable Law or, in the case ofnon-wholly owned Subsidiary joint ventures, joint venture agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement made available by Woodward to Hexcel. Section 3.1(b) of the Woodward Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of all Woodward Subsidiaries as of the date hereof.

3.3    Authority; No Violation.

(a)    Woodward has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger have been duly and validly approved by the Board of Directors of Woodward and the Board of Directors of Merger Sub, as applicable. The Board of Directors of Woodward has determined that the Merger, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, is advisable and in the best interests of Woodward and its stockholders, has adopted and approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger), and has directed that the Share Issuance (as defined below) and the Charter Amendment be submitted to Woodward’s stockholders for approval at a meeting of such stockholders and has adopted a resolution to the foregoing effect.

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Woodward and Merger Sub (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Hexcel) constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each of Woodward and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of Woodward and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms (except in all cases as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar Laws of general applicability affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies (the “Enforceability Exceptions”)). The shares of Woodward Common Stock to be issued in the Merger have been validly authorized (subject to the receipt of the Requisite Woodward Vote), and when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and no current or past stockholder of Woodward will have any preemptive right or similar rights in respect thereof.

(b)    Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Woodward or Merger Sub nor the consummation by Woodward or Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger), nor compliance by Woodward or Merger Sub with any of the terms or provisions hereof, will (i) violate any provision of the Woodward Certificate of Incorporation, the Woodward Bylaws, the Woodward Constitution or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of Merger Sub or (ii) assuming that the consents and approvals referred to inSection 3.4 are duly obtained, (x) violate in any material respect any Law, statute, code, ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, decree or injunction applicable to Woodward, Merger Sub or any Woodward Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets or (y) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of any provision of or the loss of any benefit under, constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, result in the termination of or a right of termination or cancellation under, accelerate the performance required by, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the respective properties or assets of Woodward, Merger Sub or any Woodward Subsidiary under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Woodward, Merger Sub or any Woodward Subsidiary is a party, or by which they or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound, except (in the case of clause (y) above) for such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults that, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Woodward.

3.4    Consents and Approvals.

(a)    Except for (i) the filing of any required applications, filings and notices, as applicable, with the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), (ii) the filing of any required applications, filings and notices, as applicable, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “HSR Act”), and such other consents, approvals, filings or registrations as may be required under any antitrust or competition Laws ofnon-U.S. jurisdictions (together with the HSR Act,

-15-

collectively, “Competition Laws”), (iii) the filing of any required applications, filings and notices, as applicable, for foreign investment clearance of any jurisdiction, (iv) the filing by Woodward with the SEC of a joint proxy statement in definitive form (including any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Joint Proxy Statement”), and a registration statement on FormS-4 in which the Joint Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus (the “S-4”), and the declaration of effectiveness of theS-4, (v) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary pursuant to the DGCL and (vi) such filings and approvals as are required to be made or obtained under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of various states in connection with the issuance of the shares of Woodward Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement and the approval of the listing of such Woodward Common Stock on the Nasdaq or the NYSE, as applicable, no material consents or approvals of or filings or registrations with any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental or regulatory authority or instrumentality or SRO (each a “Governmental Entity”) are necessary in connection with (A) the execution and delivery by Woodward or Merger Sub of this Agreement or (B) the consummation by Merger Sub of the Merger and by Woodward and Merger Sub of the other transactions contemplated hereby. As of the date hereof, Woodward is not aware of any reason why the necessary regulatory approvals and consents will not be received by Woodward or Merger Sub to permit consummation of the Merger on a timely basis. As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of Woodward, there is no fact or circumstance existing that would require or reasonably be expected to require either party to invoke their right to change the structure of effecting the combination of Hexcel and Woodward to a Direct Merger pursuant toSection 6.15 hereof.

(b)    Except as set forth in Section 3.4(b) of the Woodward Disclosure Schedule, the representations and warranties inSections 3.3(b) and3.4(a) are true and correct with respect to a combination of Hexcel and Woodward structured as a merger of Hexcel with and into Woodward (a “Direct Merger”).

3.5    Financial Statements.

(a)    The financial statements of Woodward and the Woodward Subsidiaries included (or incorporated by reference) in the Woodward SEC Reports (including the related notes, where applicable) (i) have been prepared from, and are in accordance with, the books and records of Woodward and the Woodward Subsidiaries, (ii) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated results of operations, cash flows, changes in stockholders’ equity and consolidated financial position of Woodward and the Woodward Subsidiaries for the respective fiscal periods or as of the respective dates therein set forth (subject in the case of unaudited statements toyear-end audit adjustments normal in nature and amount), (iii) complied, as of their respective dates of filing with the SEC, in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, and (iv) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except, in each case, as indicated in such statements or in the notes thereto. The books and records of Woodward and the Woodward Subsidiaries have been, and are being, maintained in all material respects in accordance with GAAP and any other applicable legal and accounting requirements and reflect only actual transactions. Since September 30, 2016, no independent public accounting firm of Woodward has resigned (or informed Woodward that it intends to resign) or been dismissed as independent public accountants of Woodward as a result of or in connection with any disagreements with Woodward on a matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

-16-

(b)    Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Woodward, neither Woodward nor any Woodward Subsidiary has any liability of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due), except for those liabilities that are reflected or reserved against on the consolidated balance sheet of Woodward included in its Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 (including any notes thereto) and for liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since September 30, 2019, or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c)    The records, systems, controls, data and information of Woodward and the Woodward Subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are under the exclusive ownership of Woodward or the Woodward Subsidiaries or accountants (including all means of access thereto and therefrom), except for anynon-exclusive ownership that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Woodward. Woodward (x) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) to ensure that material information relating to Woodward, including the Woodward Subsidiaries, is made known to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of Woodward by others within those entities as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and to make the certifications required by the Exchange Act and Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and (y) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to Woodward’s outside auditors and the audit committee of Woodward’s Board of Directors (i) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Woodward’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Woodward’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Woodward shall also use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Hexcel shall furnish all information concerning Hexcel and the holders of shares of Hexcel Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

(b) The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all necessary actions, and do or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable following the date hereof; (ii) make, or cause to be made, the registrations, declarations and filings (A) required under the HSR Act and (B) required or advisable in connection with obtaining the other Requisite Regulatory Approvals, including if agreed upon by Hexcel and Woodward, appropriate filings and notifications to the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Competition, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (and in the case of any filings required under the HSR Act, no later than ten (10) business days after the date of this Agreement); (iii) prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals, clearances and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals, clearances and authorizations of all such Governmental Entities and (iv) seek to avoid or prevent the initiation of any investigation, claim, action, suit, arbitration, litigation or proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Requisite Regulatory Approvals” shall mean the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and all regulatory authorizations, consents, clearances, orders and approvals set forth on Section 6.1(b) of the Woodward Disclosure Schedule.

(c) Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve any objection that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in furtherance of the parties’ reasonable best efforts, each of Hexcel and the Hexcel Subsidiaries and Woodward and the Woodward Subsidiaries, as applicable, to the extent required in order to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals or any necessary approvals of any other Governmental Entity required for the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as reasonably practicable or to avoid the consequences inSection 6.1(b)(iv) or otherwise in connection with the Requisite Regulatory Approvals required pursuant to any Competition Law, shall (i) propose, negotiate or offer to effect, or consent or commit to, any sale, leasing, licensing, transfer, disposal, divestiture or other encumbrance, or holding separate, of any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein (collectively, a “Divestiture”); and (ii) take or agree to take any other action, agree or consent to, make any concession in respect of, or permit or suffer to exist any condition or requirement setting forth, any limitations or restrictions on freedom of actions with respect to, or its ability to retain, or make changes in, any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein (collectively, a “Remedy”),provided that neither party nor its Subsidiaries shall be required to take any of the actions referred to above with respect to a Divestiture or Remedy unless the effectiveness thereof is conditioned on the occurrence of the Effective Time, and provided, further,

Hexcel and Woodward agree to use reasonable best efforts to: (1) oppose or defend against any investigation, claim, action, suit, arbitration, litigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity to prevent or enjoin the consummation of the Merger or (2) overturn any regulatory order by any such Governmental Entity to prevent consummation of the Merger, including by defending any investigation, claim, action, suit, arbitration, litigation or proceeding brought by any such Governmental Entity in order to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, overturned, terminated or appealed any order that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the Merger.

(e) Each party shall promptly notify the other party of any communication it or any of its affiliates receives from any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, furnish the other party promptly with all communications received from any Governmental Entity and permit the other party to review in advance, and consider in good faith the other party’s comments to, any proposed communication, filing or submission by such party to any Governmental Entity. The parties will coordinate and reasonably cooperate with each other in exchanging information and providing reasonable assistance as the other party may reasonably request in writing in connection with the foregoing or in connection with any filing or submission to be made to any Governmental Entity;provided,however, that materials exchanged pursuant to thisSection 6.1 may be redacted or withheld as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns, and to remove references concerning the valuation of Hexcel’s or Woodward’s consideration of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other competitively sensitive material;provided,further that the parties hereto may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any materials provided to the other pursuant to thisSection 6.1 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials. Hexcel and Woodward shall (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) consult with the other party in advance of any meeting, discussion or teleconference with any Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, with any other person,

(g) Hexcel and Woodward shall, upon request, furnish each other with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Joint Proxy Statement, theS-4 or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Hexcel, Woodward or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.2Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws, each of Hexcel and Woodward, for the purposes of performing its respective obligations under this Agreement and enforcing its respective rights under this Agreement, shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, advisors and other Representatives of the other party, access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel, information technology systems, and records, and, during such period, each of Hexcel and Woodward shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, make available to the other party all information concerning its business, properties and personnel as such party may reasonably request. Neither Hexcel nor Woodward nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the institution in possession or control of such information (after giving due consideration to the existence of any common interest, joint defense or similar agreement between the parties) or contravene any Law or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

-62-

(b) Each of Hexcel and Woodward shall hold all information furnished by or on behalf of the other party or any of such party’s Subsidiaries or Representatives pursuant toSection 6.2(a) in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the confidentiality agreement, dated September 1, 2019, between Hexcel and Woodward (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(c) No investigation by either of the parties or their respective Representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive the representations and warranties of the other set forth herein. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Woodward or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Hexcel or the Hexcel Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Hexcel, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Woodward or the Woodward Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each of Woodward, Merger Sub and Hexcel shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

6.3Stockholders Meetings.

(a) Each of Hexcel and Woodward shall call a meeting of its stockholders (the “Hexcel Meeting” and the “Woodward Meeting,” respectively) to be held as soon as reasonably practicable after theS-4 is declared effective, for the purpose of obtaining (a) the Requisite Woodward Vote, the Charter Amendment Vote and the Requisite Hexcel Vote required in connection with this Agreement and the Merger and (b) if so desired and mutually agreed, a vote upon other matters of the type customarily brought before a meeting of stockholders in connection with the approval of a merger agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, and each of Hexcel and Woodward shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such meetings to occur on the same date. Subject toSection 6.3(b), each of Hexcel and Woodward and their respective Boards of Directors shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from the stockholders of Hexcel and Woodward, as applicable, the Requisite Hexcel Vote, the Requisite Woodward Vote and the Charter Amendment Vote, as applicable, including by communicating to the respective stockholders of Hexcel and Woodward the Hexcel Board Recommendation and the Woodward Board Recommendation, respectively (and including the respective recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement), and each of Hexcel and Woodward and their respective Boards of Directors shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to the other party the Hexcel Board Recommendation, in the case of Hexcel, or the Woodward Board Recommendation, in the case of Woodward, (ii) fail to make the Hexcel Board Recommendation, in the case of Hexcel, or the Woodward Board Recommendation, in the case of Woodward, in the Joint Proxy Statement, (iii) adopt, approve, recommend or endorse an Acquisition Proposal or publicly announce an intention to adopt, approve, recommend or endorse an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) fail to publicly and without qualification (A) recommend against any Acquisition Proposal or (B) reaffirm the Hexcel Board Recommendation, in the case of Hexcel, or the Woodward Board Recommendation, in the case of Woodward, in each case within ten (10) business days (or such fewer number of days as remains prior that date that is two (2) business days prior to the Hexcel Meeting or the Woodward Meeting, as applicable) after an Acquisition Proposal is made public (upon a request by the other party to do so), or (v) publicly propose to do any of the foregoing (any of the foregoing a “Recommendation Change”).

-63-

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject toSection 8.1 andSection 8.2, if the Board of Directors of Hexcel or Woodward, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that taking such action would be required to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, such Board of Directors may, in the case of Hexcel, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Hexcel Vote, and in the case of Woodward, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Woodward Vote, make a Recommendation Change and submit this Agreement to its stockholders without recommendation (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event such Board of Directors may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to its stockholders in the Joint Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by Law;provided that such Board of Directors may not take any actions under this sentence unless it (A) gives the other party at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and a reasonable description of the event or circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action (including, in the event such action is taken in response to an Acquisition Proposal, the latest material terms and conditions and the identity of the third party in any such Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment or modification thereof, or describe in reasonable detail such other event or circumstances) and (B) at the end of such notice period, takes into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by the other party and, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that taking such action would nevertheless be required to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. No Recommendation Change may be made with respect to an Acquisition Proposal if such Acquisition Proposal was solicited in violation ofSection 6.13. Any change in the economic terms of or any other material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of thisSection 6.3 and will require a new notice period as referred to in thisSection 6.3 (except that the notice period shall be shortened to three (3) business days).

(c) Except as required by Law or as Hexcel and Woodward may mutually agree, neither Hexcel nor Woodward shall adjourn or postpone the Hexcel Meeting or the Woodward Meeting beyond the date on which the Hexcel Meeting or the Woodward Meeting, as the case may be, was (or was required to be) originally scheduled;provided that Hexcel and Woodward shall:

(i) be permitted to adjourn or postpone its own stockholder meeting (i.e., the Hexcel Meeting or the Woodward Meeting, as the case may be), if (A) as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled there are insufficient shares of Hexcel Common Stock or Woodward Common Stock, as the case may be, represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, (B) in the case of the Hexcel Meeting, the Board of Directors of Hexcel has made a Recommendation Change and, in the case of the Woodward Meeting, Board of Directors of Woodward has made a Recommendation Change, or (C) a change to the method or structure of effecting the combination of Hexcel and Woodward is to be effected pursuant toSection 6.15,provided,further, that in no event shall Hexcel or Woodward adjourn or postpone the Hexcel Meeting or the Woodward Meeting, as applicable, pursuant to this clause (i) more than two (2) times and by more than forty-five (45) calendar days in the aggregate with respect to all such adjournments or proposals; and

-64-

(ii) at Hexcel’s request, cause to be adjourned or postponed the Woodward Meeting, or at Woodward’s request, cause to be adjourned or postponed the Hexcel Meeting, if (A) the Board of Directors of thenon-requesting party has made a Recommendation Change or (B) a change to the method or structure of effecting the combination of Hexcel and Woodward is to be effected pursuant toSection 6.15,provided, further, that in no event shall Hexcel or Woodward be obligated to adjourn or postpone the Hexcel Meeting or the Woodward Meeting, as applicable, pursuant to this clause (ii) more than two (2) times and by more than forty-five (45) calendar days, in the aggregate with respect to all such adjournments or proposals;

provided, however, that, if either the Hexcel Meeting or the Woodward Meeting, as the case may be, is adjourned or postponed pursuant to either the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), the other of the Hexcel Meeting or the Woodward Meeting, as the case may be, may be correspondingly adjourned or postponed and such adjournment or postponement shall not affect the aggregate time limits contemplated by the foregoing clause (i) or (ii).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, (x) the Hexcel Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted for adoption by the stockholders of Hexcel at the Hexcel Meeting and (y) the Woodward Meeting shall be convened and the Share Issuance and Charter Amendment shall be submitted to the stockholders of Woodward at the Woodward Meeting, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve either Hexcel or Woodward of such obligation.

6.4Legal Conditions to Merger. Subject in all respects toSection 6.1 of this Agreement, each of Hexcel and Woodward shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth inARTICLE VII hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any material consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party that is required to be obtained by Hexcel or Woodward or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.5Stock Exchange Listing and Delisting. Woodward shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Woodward Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq or the NYSE (as the parties mutually agree), subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time. Hexcel and Woodward shall cooperate in good faith to obtain the ticker symbol of “WXL” for the Combined Company from and after the Closing. Hexcel shall cooperate with Woodward and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the NYSE to enable the delisting by the Surviving Entity of the shares of Hexcel Common Stock from the NYSE and the deregistration of the shares of Hexcel Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

6.6Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) Hexcel and Woodward acknowledge and agree that (i) for purposes of the Woodward Amended and Restated ExecutiveChange-in-Control Severance Agreements (or substantially similarly titled agreement) entered into with certain employees of Woodward or any Woodward Subsidiaries, the completion of the transactions contemplated herein will constitute a “Change in Control” as defined therein, and (ii) for purposes of the Hexcel Benefit Plans listed on Section 6.6(a) of the Hexcel Disclosure Schedule, the completion of the transactions contemplated herein will constitute a “Change in Control” or similar term.

(b) The Combined Company agrees to honor in accordance with their terms all Hexcel Benefit Plans and Woodward Benefit Plans (subject toSection 6.6(d)). In order to further an orderly transition and integration, Hexcel and Woodward shall cooperate in good faith in reviewing, evaluating and analyzing the Hexcel Benefit Plans and Woodward Benefit Plans with a view towards developing appropriate new benefit plans, or selecting the Hexcel Benefit Plans or Woodward Benefit Plans, as applicable, that will apply with respect to employees of the Combined Company and its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time (collectively, the “New Benefit Plans”), and the Combined Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the New Benefit Plans, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to (i) treat similarly situated employees on a substantially equivalent basis, taking into account all relevant factors, including duties, geographic location, tenure, qualifications and abilities, and (ii) not discriminate between employees who were covered by Hexcel Benefit Plans, on the one hand, and those covered by Woodward Benefit Plans, on the other hand, at the Effective Time. Until such time as the New Benefit Plans are determined and/or established, the legacy Woodward employees will participate in Woodward Benefit Plans and the legacy Hexcel employees will participate in Hexcel Benefit Plans in accordance with their applicable terms including eligibility, in each case while employed by the Combined Company and its Subsidiaries and subject to the terms of such plans, and it is understood and agreed that participation in New Benefit Plans may commence on different dates following the Effective Time for different plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the Effective Time the Combined Company or its Subsidiaries shall provide to each legacy Hexcel employee and Woodward employee, at least the same annual base salary or wage rate, during the portion of the one year period immediately following the Effective Time that each such employee remains employed by the Combined Company or its Subsidiaries and severance benefits and protections in the event of an applicable qualifying termination that occurs during the one year period immediately following the Effective Time, in each case, that were in effect for such employee of Hexcel or Woodward, as applicable, or their respective Subsidiaries, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) With respect to any New Benefit Plans in which any employees of Hexcel or Woodward (or their respective Subsidiaries) prior to the Effective Time first become eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time, and in which such employees did not participate prior to the Effective Time, the Combined Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) waive all preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees and their eligible dependents under any New Benefit Plans in which such employees first become eligible to participate after the Effective Time, except to the extent such preexisting conditions, exclusions or waiting periods would apply under the analogous Hexcel Benefit Plan or Woodward Benefit Plan, as the case may be, (ii) provide each such employee and his or her eligible dependents with credit for anyco-payments

-66-

and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time (or, if later, prior to the time such employee commenced participation in the New Benefit Plan) under a Hexcel Benefit Plan or Woodward Benefit Plan (to the same extent that such credit was given under the analogous Hexcel Benefit Plan or Woodward Benefit Plan) in satisfying any applicable deductible orout-of-pocket requirements under any New Benefit Plans in which such employees first become eligible to participate after the Effective Time, and (iii) recognize all service of such employees with Hexcel or Woodward, as applicable, and their respective Subsidiaries (and any predecessor entities), for all purposes in any New Benefit Plan in which such employees first become eligible to participate after the Effective Time to the same extent that such service was taken into account under the analogous Hexcel Benefit Plan or Woodward Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time;provided that the foregoing service recognition shall not apply (A) to the extent it would result in duplication of benefits for the same period of service, (B) for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan, (C) for purposes of any benefit plan that provides retiree welfare benefits, or (D) to any benefit plan that is a frozen plan or provides grandfathered benefits.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee, officer, director or consultant of Hexcel or Woodward or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates any right to continue in the employ or service of the Surviving Entity, the Combined Company, Woodward, Hexcel or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Surviving Entity, the Combined Company, Woodward, Hexcel or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof to discharge or terminate the services of any employee, officer, director or consultant of Hexcel or Woodward or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Woodward Benefit Plan, Hexcel Benefit Plan, New Benefit Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (ii) alter or limit the ability of Woodward or any Woodward Subsidiary (or, after the Effective Time, the Combined Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or their respective affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any particular Woodward Benefit Plan, Hexcel Benefit Plan, New Benefit Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality ofSection 9.11, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person, including any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of Hexcel or Woodward or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

6.7Certain Tax Matters. (i) Hexcel shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to obtain the tax opinion referenced inSection 7.2(d) and (ii) each of Hexcel, Woodward and Merger Sub shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable efforts to execute and deliver a customary tax representation letter that includes the representations referred to inSection 7.2(d) as of the date of the Joint Proxy Statement, if required, and as of the Closing Date to each counsel referred to inSection 9.5 in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such counsel.

6.8Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Combined Company shall indemnify and hold harmless and shall advance expenses as incurred, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, such persons that are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement

-70-

provided pursuant to this sentence, such party shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the person making such Acquisition Proposal on terms no less favorable to it than the Confidentiality Agreement, which confidentiality agreement shall not provide such person with any exclusive right to negotiate with such party, and shall otherwise permit such party to comply with its obligations herein. Each party will, and will cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any person other than Hexcel or Woodward, as applicable, with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and request the return or destruction of any confidential information previously delivered to any such person pursuant to the terms of any confidentiality agreement to the extent provided by such agreement.

(b) Each party will promptly (within twenty-four (24) hours) advise the other party following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and the substance thereof (including the terms and conditions of and the identity of the person making such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal), will provide the other party with an unredacted copy of any such Acquisition Proposal and any draft agreements, proposals or other materials received in connection with any such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal, and will keep the other party apprised of any related material developments, discussions and negotiations on a current basis, including any amendments to or revisions of the terms of such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal (other than amendments or revisions that are immaterial in all respects).

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent a party or its Board of Directors from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal;provided, that such rules will in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such rules would otherwise have under this Agreement.

Hexcel and Woodward agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain the officers and directors of Hexcel subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (the “Hexcel Insiders”), both prior to and after the Effective Time, it is desirable that Hexcel Insiders not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in connection with the conversion of shares of Hexcel Common Stock into shares of Woodward Common Stock in the Merger and the conversion of Hexcel Equity Awards into corresponding Woodward Equity Awards in the Merger, and for that compensatory and retentive purpose agree to the provisions of thisSection 6.18.

Amended and Restated on January 11, 2020

ARTICLE I

OFFICES

Section 1.1Registered Office

The registered office of Woodward, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware.

Section 1.2Other Offices

The Corporation may also have offices at such other places, both within and without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 2.1Place of Meetings

Meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation must be held at such places, either within or without the State of Delaware, as are designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting will not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as provided under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). If a meeting of stockholders by remote communication is authorized by the Board of Directors, stockholders and proxy holders not physically present but attending by remote communication will be deemed present in person, subject to compliance with such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt.

Section 2.2Annual Meetings

Annual meetings of stockholders for the election of directors must be held on such dates and at such times as are designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. At each annual meeting, the stockholders may vote for election, in accordance with Section 3.1 of these Bylaws, of those directors belonging to the class or classes of directors to be elected at such meeting, and may transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 2.3Special Meetings

Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of stockholders must be called by the Secretary at the request (i) of the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board of Directors for adoption), (ii) in writing, of the Chairman of the Board, if there be one, or (iii) in writing, of holders of at leasttwo-thirds of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, and may not be called absent such a request. Such request must state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting and, in the case of a request by holders of outstanding shares, must be delivered personally or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Corporation. Business transacted at all special meetings of stockholders must be confined to the matters set forth in the notice. The Board of Directors must determine the date, time and place of any special meeting, which must, in the case of Section 2.3(ii) or (iii), be held not less than thirty (30) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the receipt of the request. Upon determination of the date, time and place of the meeting, the officer receiving the request must cause notice to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4 below. Nothing contained in this Section 2.3 is to be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

Section 2.4Notice of Meetings

Except as otherwise provided by law, written notice of all meetings must be given stating the date, time and place of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, the written notice of any meeting must be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at that meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting.

Section 2.5Quorum

Except as otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, a majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders. Withdrawal of any stockholders present or represented by proxy at any meeting of stockholders will not cause failure of a duly constituted quorum at that meeting. Shares of the Corporation’s own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, are neither entitled to vote nor may they be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing does not limit the right of any corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity. The Chairman of the meeting or the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy, by vote of a majority of the shares represented, may adjourn the meeting despite the absence of a quorum.

Section 2.6Adjournments

Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the Chairman of the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and the place thereof, and the

2

means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 2.7Voting

(a) Record Name. Except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares entitled to vote stand on the stock records of the Corporation on the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting will be entitled to vote at such meeting.

(b) Votes Per Share; Cumulative Voting. Unless otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders is entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. In the election of directors, and for any other action, voting need not be by written ballot unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or by proxy at such meeting or the Chairman of the meeting so determine. In accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation are entitled to cumulative voting rights in the election of directors, which means that in each election of directors each holder of Common Stock is entitled to cast as many votes as the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holder multiplied by the number of directors to be elected and may cast all such votes for the election of one nominee or distribute such votes among two (2) or more nominees as such holder chooses.

(c) Vote Required – Election of Directors.

(i) Majority/Plurality. Except as otherwise provided by these Bylaws, a nominee for director must be elected by a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy with respect to such nominee’s election at any meeting of the stockholders that includes the election of directors at which a quorum is present. For purposes of this Section 2.7(c), a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a nominee’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that nominee’s election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a nominee for director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders that includes the election of directors at which a quorum is present if, as of the tenth (10th) day preceding the date the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders of the Corporation, the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected (a “Contested Election”), provided that with respect to any nominee proposed or nominated by a stockholder, the Secretary of the Corporation must have received proper notice under Section 2.11 of these Bylaws. For purposes of this Section 2.7(c), if plurality voting is applicable to the election of directors at any meeting, the nominees who receive the highest number of votes cast “for,” without regard to votes cast “against” or “withhold,” will be elected as directors up to the total number of directors to be elected at that meeting. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will not count as a vote cast with respect to any election of directors.

3

(ii) Resignations. In order for any incumbent director to become a nominee of the Board of Directors for further service on the Board of Directors, such person must submit an irrevocable resignation, contingent on (i) that person not receiving a majority of the votes cast in an election that is not a Contested Election, and (ii) acceptance of that resignation by the Board of Directors in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors for such purpose. If an incumbent director fails to receive a majority of votes cast in an election that is not a Contested Election, the Nominating and Governance Committee will, within sixty (60) days after the date of certification of the election results, recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept or reject the resignation of such incumbent director, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the resignation, taking into account the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation, and within ninety (90) days after the date of certification of the election results, the Board of Directors will disclose its decision and rationale regarding whether to accept the resignation (or the reasons for rejecting the resignation, if applicable) in a press release, filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or by other public announcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event (a) the Nominating and Governance Committee fails to make a recommendation within sixty (60) days after the date of certification of the election results, or (b) a majority of the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are nominees for director who did not receive a majority of the votes cast in an election that is not a Contested Election, the Board of Directors will make the determination to accept or reject the resignations without any recommendation from the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board of Directors may consider any factors and other information they deem appropriate and relevant in deciding whether to accept a director’s resignation.

(iii) Following Board Determination. If an incumbent director fails to receive the required vote forre-election in an election that is not a Contested Election and such director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, such director will continue to serve until the expiration date of such director’s term in office or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. If such director’s resignation is accepted by the Board of Directors, or if a nominee for director is not elected and the nominee is not an incumbent director, then the Board of Directors may fill any resulting vacancy pursuant to Section 3.3 of these Bylaws or may decrease the size of the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 3.1 of these Bylaws.

(d) Vote Required – Other. The affirmative vote of the holders oftwo- thirds of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation is required (i) for the adoption of any amendment, alteration, change or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, (ii) for the adoption of any agreement for the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, (iii) to authorize any sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, (iv) to authorize the dissolution of the Corporation, (v) to remove a director for cause, or (vi) for the stockholders of the Corporation to adopt, amend or

4

repeal these Bylaws. Such affirmative vote is required notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be required, or that some lesser percentage may be specified, by law or in any agreement to which the Corporation is a party. All other elections and questions must, unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, be decided by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or by proxy at the meeting.

Section 2.8Proxies

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, which proxy must be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation at or before the meeting at which it is to be used, but no such proxy may be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature. A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that such telegrams, cablegrams or other electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors, or if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination must specify the information upon which they relied. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to Section 212(c) of the DGCL may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction must be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. A duly executed proxy is irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only so long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy, which is not irrevocable, by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing with the Secretary an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date.

Section 2.9List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote

The officer who has charge of the stock ledger must prepare and make, or cause to be prepared and made, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing in this section requires the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on that list. The list must be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to

5

the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting; or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, the list must also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder of the Corporation who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, the list must also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list must be provided with the notice of the meeting.

Section 2.10Stock Ledger

The stock ledger of the Corporation is the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list of stockholders required by Section 2.9 or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 2.11Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Other Business

(a) Proper Business; Nominations. No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is: (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof); (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof); or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder: (i) such stockholder must be a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.11 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting; (ii) such stockholder must provide timely notice in writing to the Corporation’s Secretary pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 2.11; (iii) such other business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under the DGCL; (iv) if the stockholder, or the beneficial owner on whose behalf any such nomination or proposal is made, provides the Corporation with a Solicitation Notice (as defined in this Section 2.11), such stockholder or beneficial owner must in the case of a proposal, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry any such proposal, or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares reasonably believed by such stockholder or beneficial owner to be sufficient to elect the nominee or nominees proposed to be nominated by such stockholder, and must, in either case, have included in those materials the Solicitation Notice; and (v) if no Solicitation Notice relating thereto has been timely provided pursuant to this Section 2.11, the stockholder or beneficial owner proposing such business or nomination must not have solicited a number of proxies sufficient to have required the delivery of such a Solicitation Notice.

6

(b) Timeliness. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary (other than a request for inclusion of a proposal in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rulel4a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the Corporation’s principal executive offices (addressed to the attention of the Secretary) not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the Corporation’s principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs, or no less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the annual meeting. In the event that the number of a class of directors to be elected is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.11 will also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if the notice is delivered to, or mailed and received at, the Corporation’s principal executive offices (addressed to the attention of the Secretary) not later than ten (10) days following the day on which the Corporation makes such public announcement.

(c) Information Required. The stockholder’s notice pursuant to this Section 2.11 must include all of the following: (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, (A) all of the information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest or that is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act ; (B) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are owned beneficially or of record by such nominated person and any affiliates or associates of such nominated person; (C) the name of each nominee holder of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation owned beneficially but not of record by such nominated person or any affiliates or associates of such nominated person, and the number of such shares of capital stock held by each such nominee holder; (D) whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest, or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such nominated person, or any affiliates or associates of such nominated person, with respect to the capital stock of the Corporation; (E) whether and the extent to which any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of capital stock of the Corporation) has been made by or on behalf of such nominated person, or any affiliates or associates of such nominated person, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk or benefit of stock price changes for, such nominated person, or any affiliates or associates of such nominated person, or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such nominated person, or any affiliates or associates of such nominated person, with respect to the capital stock of the Corporation; (F) a description of all agreements, arrangements or

7

understandings between such nominated person, or any affiliates or associates of such nominated person, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with such nominated person’s candidacy or service as a director of the Corporation; and (G) the written consent of such nominated person to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (ii) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (iii) the name and record address of such stockholder and such beneficial owner; (iv) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner; (v) the name of each nominee holder of shares of capital stock of the Corporation owned beneficially but not of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, or any affiliates or associates of the foregoing persons, and the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation held by each such nominee holder; (vi) whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such stockholder or such beneficial owner, or any affiliates or associates of the foregoing persons, with respect to the capital stock of the Corporation; (vii) whether and the extent to which any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of capital stock of the Corporation) has been made by or on behalf of such stockholder or such beneficial owner, or any affiliates or associates of the foregoing persons, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk or benefit of stock price changes for, such stockholder or such beneficial owner, or any affiliates or associates of the foregoing persons, or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such stockholder or such beneficial owner, or any affiliates or associates of the foregoing persons, with respect to the capital stock of the Corporation; (viii) a description of all agreements, arrangements or understandings between such stockholder or such beneficial owner, or any affiliates or associates of the foregoing persons, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the nomination or proposal of such business by such stockholder; (ix) any material interest of such stockholder or such beneficial owner, or any affiliates or associates of the foregoing persons, in such nomination or proposal of business, including any anticipated benefit therefrom to such stockholder or such beneficial owner, or any affiliates or associates of the foregoing persons; (x) whether such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting; and (xi) whether such stockholder or beneficial owner intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a proposal, at least the percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, a sufficient number of holders of the Corporation’s voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees (an affirmative statement of such intent, a “Solicitation Notice”). A stockholder providing notice of any nomination or proposal of business in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.11 is true and correct as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the Corporation’s principal executive offices (addressed to the attention of the Secretary) not later than five (5) business days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting.

8

(d) Inclusion in Company Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the Corporation’s proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholder’s meeting, a stockholder must provide notice as required by the regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. Nothing in these Bylaws is deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule14a-8 of the Exchange Act or any successor rule.

(e) Special Meeting Nominations. At any special meeting of the stockholders, only such business may be conducted as is brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. In the event that a special meeting of the stockholders is called for the purpose of electing one or more directors, nominations of a person or persons for election may be made (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by a stockholder who complies with the procedures in this Section 2.11 if such stockholder is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.11 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such special meeting and such stockholder provides timely notice in writing to the Corporation’s Secretary (including all of the information required by paragraph (c) of this Section 2.11) not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the special meeting was made, whichever first occurs, or no less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the special meeting.

(f) Determination of Proper Business. Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.11 will be eligible to serve as directors and only such business may be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as is brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.11; provided, however, that once business has been properly brought before a meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 2.11 will be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business (subject to any rules for the orderly conduct of the meeting as may be adopted by the Chairman of the meeting or the Board of Directors). The Chairman of the meeting and the Board of Directors each has the power to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.11 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 2.11, to declare that such defective proposal be disregarded and not presented for stockholder action.

(g) No New Time Period. In no event will the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual or special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice.

(h) Public Announcement. For the purposes of this Section 2.11, a “public announcement” includes disclosure in a press release issued to a national news service, in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with, or furnished on Form8-K to, the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, or other method deemed to be a public announcement under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

9

(i) Delivery. For purposes of this Section 2.11, delivery of a proxy statement or delivery of a form of a proxy includes sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials in accordance with Rules14a-16 under the Exchange Act.

Section 2.12Inspectors of Election

Before any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors must appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report of the meeting. The Board of Directors may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors. No nominee for the office of director may be appointed inspector. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, must take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability.

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

Section 3.1Number and Term of Office

The Board of Directors is divided into three (3) classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class must be as nearly equal in number as possible. The number of directors which constitutes the whole Board of Directors must not be less than six (6), the exact number of directors and the exact number of directors in each class to be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. At each annual meeting, successors to the class of directors whose term expired at that annual meeting are elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors has changed, any increase or decrease must be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class holds office for a term that coincides with the remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director holds office until the annual meeting of stockholders for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of preferred stock issued by the Corporation, if any, have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships is governed by the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation applicable thereto, and such directors so elected will not be divided into classes pursuant to this Section 3.1 unless expressly provided by such terms.

11

Section 3.2Nominations

Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at any annual meeting of stockholders, or at any special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors: (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) by any stockholder of the Corporation who: (i) is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in Section 2.11 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting; and (ii) timely complies with all of the procedures set forth in Section 2.11. No person is eligible for election as a director unless nominated as set forth in this Section 3.2. If either the Chairman of the meeting or the Board of Directors determines that a nomination was not made as set forth in this Section 3.2, the Chairman must declare to the meeting that the nomination was defective and that such defective nomination must be disregarded.

Section 3.3Vacancies

Vacancies in the Board of Directors and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy holds office for the remaining term of the class in which the vacancy occurs or is created.

Section 3.4Removal

Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders oftwo-thirds of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation.

Section 3.5Resignation

Any director may resign at any time by delivering his or her notice in writing or by electronic transmission to the Secretary, such resignation to specify whether it will be effective at a particular time, upon receipt by the Secretary or at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. If no such specification is made, it is deemed effective at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. A resignation that is conditioned upon the director failing to receive a specified vote for reelection as a director may provide that it is irrevocable. When one or more directors resigns from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, may fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations become effective.

Section 3.6Duties and Powers

Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman or any two directors. Notice thereof stating the place, date and hour of the meeting must be given to each director either by mail not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the date of the meeting, by telephone (including a voice messaging or other system or technology designed to record and communicate messages), electronic mail or other electronic means, facsimile or telegram on twenty-four (24) hours’ notice.

Section 3.8Quorum

Except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at all meetings of the Board of Directors a majority of the exact number of directors fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and these Bylaws constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum is the act of the Board of Directors.

Section 3.9Actions without Meeting

Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or electronic transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or such committee thereof. Such filing must be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and must be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

Section 3.11Conduct of Meetings

The Chairman of the Board of Directors or in his or her absence a chairman chosen by a majority at the meeting presides at meetings of the Board of Directors. The Secretary acts as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence, the Chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

13

Section 3.12Remuneration

The directors may be paid such remuneration, if any, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Any remuneration so payable to a director who is also an officer or employee of the Corporation or who is counsel or solicitor to the Corporation or otherwise serves it in a professional capacity must, unless the Board of Directors otherwise determines, be in addition to such director’s salary as such officer or employee or to his or her professional fees, as the case may be. In addition, the Board of Directors may by resolution from time to time award special remuneration out of the funds of the Corporation to any director who performs any special work or service for, or undertakes any special mission on behalf of, the Corporation outside of the work or service ordinarily required of a director of the Corporation. The directors may also be paid such sums in respect of theirout-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors or otherwise in respect of the performance by them of their duties as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Confirmation by the stockholders of any such remuneration or payment is not required.

Section 3.13Interested Directors

No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, is void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or her vote is counted for such purpose if: (a) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (b) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (c) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee, which authorizes the contract or transaction.

Section 3.14Committees

(a) Executive Committee. The Board of Directors may appoint an Executive Committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Executive Committee, to the extent permitted by law, these Bylaws, the Executive Committee Charter or other resolutions of the Board of Directors will have and may exercise, when the Board of Directors is not in session, all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the

14

power to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but such committee will not have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Corporation.

(b) Other Committees. The Board of Directors may, from time to time, appoint such other committees as may be permitted by law. Such other committees appointed by the Board of Directors must consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation and will have such powers and perform such duties as may be prescribed by the resolution or resolutions creating such committees, but in no event will any such committee have the powers denied to the Executive Committee in these Bylaws.

(c) Term. The Board of Directors may at any time increase or decrease the number of members of a committee or terminate the existence of a committee. The membership of a committee member will terminate on the date of his or her death or voluntary resignation from the committee or from the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time for any reason remove any individual committee member and the Board of Directors may fill any committee vacancy created by death, resignation, removal or increase in the number of members of the committee. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.

(d) Meetings. Unless the Board of Directors otherwise provides, each committee designated by the Board may make, alter and repeal rules of the conduct of its business. In the absence of such rules, each committee must conduct its business in the same manner as the Board of Directors conducts its business pursuant to these Bylaws.

SHARES OF STOCK

Section 6.1Form and Execution of Certificates

The shares of the Corporation will be represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of the Corporation’s stock may be uncertificated. Certificates for the shares of stock of the Corporation, if any, are to be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock in the Corporation represented by certificate is entitled to have a certificate signed by or in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or any Vice President, and by the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, certifying the number of shares owned by such holder in the Corporation. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate ceases to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. Any certificate may also contain such legend or other statement as may be required by law or by any agreement between the Corporation and the issuee thereof.

Section 6.2Lost Certificates

A new certificate or uncertificated shares may be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. The Corporation may require, as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate or uncertificated shares, the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or the owner’s legal representative, to agree to indemnify the Corporation in such manner as it requires or to give the Corporation a surety bond in such form and amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 6.5Fixing Record Dates

(a) For Notice and Meetings. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date must not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date must, subject to applicable law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders must be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders applies to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

(b) For Other Purposes. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date must not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date must be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose must be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 6.6Registered Stockholders

The Corporation is entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and is not bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person whether or not it has express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

ARTICLE VII

NOTICES

Section 7.1Written Notice

Whenever written notice is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to be given to any director, member of a committee or stockholder, such notice may be given by mail, addressed to such director, member of a committee or stockholder, at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice is deemed to be given at the time when the same is deposited in the United States mail.

20

Section 7.2Notice by Electronic Transmission to Stockholders

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws is effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent is revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent is deemed revoked if (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation will not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given pursuant to this section is deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (a) such posting and (b) the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or the agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission is, in the absence of fraud, prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of these Bylaws, “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

Section 7.3Notice to Stockholders Sharing an Address

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation is effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom notice is given. Any consent is revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. A stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Corporation, within sixty (60) days of having been given written notice by the Corporation of its intention to send the single notice will be deemed to have consented to receiving the single notice.

Section 7.4Waiver

Whenever any notice is required by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, is deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of that meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation.

Subject to Section 9.3, the Corporation must indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against costs, charges (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Section 9.2Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation

Subject to Section 9.3, the Corporation must indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against costs, charges, expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such costs which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court deems proper.

Section 9.3Authorization of Indemnification

Any indemnification under this Article IX (unless ordered by a court) may be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 9.1 or 9.2, as the case may be. Such determination must be made with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination: (i) by a majority vote of the directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum; (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum; (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) by the stockholders. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she must be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

Section 9.4Good Faith Defined

For purposes of any determination under Section 9.3, a person is deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him or her by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 9.4 means any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 9.4 are not exclusive nor do they limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 9.1 or 9.2, as the case may be.

Section 9.5Indemnification by a Court

Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 9.3, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any present or former director or officer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 9.1 and 9.2. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such director or officer has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections 9.1 or 9.2, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 9.3 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the

24

director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.5 must be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification will also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

Section 9.6Expenses Payable in Advance

Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article IX. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

Section 9.7Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article IX are not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 must be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article IX do not preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Sections 9.1 or 9.2 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.

Section 9.8Insurance

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article IX.

Section 9.9Certain Definitions

For purposes of this Article IX, references to “the Corporation” include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors and officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such

25

constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, will stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article IX, references to “fines” include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan will be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article IX.

Section 9.10Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IX will, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 9.11Limitation on Indemnification

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article IX to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which will be governed by Section 9.5), the Corporation is not obligated to indemnify any present or former director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Section 9.12Indemnification of Employees and Agents

The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article IX to directors and officers of the Corporation.

Section 9.13Enforceability

The provisions of this Article IX are applicable to all actions, suits or proceedings pending at the time or commenced after the adoption of this Article IX, whether arising from acts or omissions to act occurring, or based on claims asserted, before or after the adoption of this Article IX. If this Article IX or any portion hereof is invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation must nevertheless indemnify each director or officer of the Corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in any judgment or settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article IX that is not invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.
