     (d) For purposes of Section 2 of these Bylaws, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

     2.6 Advance Notice of Stockholder Business

     (a) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business as shall have been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with this Section 2.6 shall be conducted at such meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (ii) by or at the direction of the Board or (iii) by any stockholder of the corporation (A) who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.6, (B) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.6 and (C) who shall be entitled to vote at such meeting.

     (b) Business to be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder shall be considered properly brought only if the stockholder has given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation (addressed to the attention of the Secretary of the corporation) not less than sixty (60) nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than thirty (30) days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the earlier of the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the meeting was made.

made in such business and (v) any other information that is required by law to be provided by the stockholder in his or her capacity as a proponent of a stockholder proposal.

     (c) The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that a stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws, and, if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective stockholder proposal shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.6.

     2.7 Notice

     Any notice to the stockholders required or permitted under these Bylaws, the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as may be amended and restated from time to time, (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as now or hereafter amended (the “DGCL”) may be provided in any manner permitted under the DGCL. If notice is mailed, it shall be deemed given when deposited in the official government mail properly addressed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears in the records of the corporation with postage prepaid. If notice is given by electronic transmission, it shall be 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.

     2.8 Waiver of Notice

     Whenever any notice is required to be given to any stockholder under the provisions of these Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. The attendance of a stockholder at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when a stockholder 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.

     2.9 Fixing of Record Date for Determining Stockholders

     (a) For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) (or the

-4-

maximum number permitted by applicable law) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall 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 and to vote at the meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

     (b) For the purpose of determining 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 may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) (or the maximum number permitted by applicable law) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

     2.10 Voting List

     At least ten (10) days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment thereof, shall be made, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and number of shares held by each stockholder. Nothing contained in this section shall require the corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. This list shall be open to examination by any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of ten (10) days prior to 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. This list shall also be produced and kept at such meeting for inspection by any stockholder who is present.

     2.11 Quorum

     Except as otherwise required by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of the stockholders; provided, that where a separate vote by one or more classes or series of shares is required, a majority of the outstanding shares constituting each such voting group, present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is

-5-

represented at a meeting, the Chairman of the meeting or a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. If a quorum is present or represented at a reconvened meeting following such an adjournment, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

     2.12 Manner of Acting

     Except as otherwise required by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, if a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, where one or more classes or series of shares are entitled to vote on a matter as a separate voting group, if a quorum with respect to each such separate voting group is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of outstanding shares constituting each such separate voting group present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of each such voting group. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

     2.13 Proxies

     Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. Such authorization may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent executing a writing or in such other manner prescribed or permitted by the DGCL. A proxy shall become invalid three years after the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A proxy with respect to a specified meeting shall entitle the holder thereof to vote at any reconvened meeting following adjournment of such meeting but shall not be valid after the final adjournment thereof.

     2.14 Voting of Shares

     Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder that has voting power upon the matter in question.

     2.15 Action by Stockholders Without a Meeting

     At any time that the corporation has a class of stock listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, or any other interdealer quotation system operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., actions of the stockholders may be taken

-6-

only at an annual or special meeting called in accordance with these Bylaws and may not be taken by written consent.

     2.16 Organization; Conduct at Meetings

     (a) At every meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board, or, if a Chairman has not been appointed or is absent, the President or, if the President is absent, a Chairman of the meeting chosen by a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, shall act as Chairman. The Secretary, or, in his absence, an assistant Secretary directed to do so by the President, shall act as Secretary of the meeting.

     (b) The Board of the corporation shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board, if any, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such Chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, limitations on participation in such meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the Chairman shall permit, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting on matters which are to be voted on by ballot. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the Chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.

SECTION 3. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     3.1 General Powers

     The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by the Board.

     3.2 Number and Tenure

     (a) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors of the corporation shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board, but such number shall not be fewer than three. The directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having the right to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. Directors shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board. At the corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption of these Bylaws, the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the corporation’s

-7-

second annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption of these Bylaws, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the corporation’s third annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption of these Bylaws, the term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders of the corporation, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2, each director shall serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal.

     3.3 Resignation

     Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary or the Board, or to the registered office of the corporation. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if the time is not specified, upon delivery thereof and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

     3.4 Removal

     Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock, any director may be removed only for cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote on the election of directors.

     3.5 Vacancies

     Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, a new directorship resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy on the Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board, or the sole remaining director, but not by the stockholders. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.

     3.6 Annual and Regular Meetings

     An annual Board meeting shall be held without notice immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of stockholders. By resolution, the Board or any committee designated by the Board may specify the time and place either within or without the State of Delaware for holding regular meetings thereof without other notice than such resolution.

-8-

     3.7 Special Meetings

     Special meetings of the Board or any committee appointed by the Board may be called by or at the request of the Chairman of the Board, the President or, in the case of special Board meetings, by any two directors then in office and, in the case of any special meeting of any committee appointed by the Board, by the committee or any two members thereof. The person or persons authorized to call special meetings may fix any place either within or without the State of Delaware as the place for holding any special meeting called by them.

     3.8 Meetings by Telephone

     Members of the Board or any committee designated by the Board may participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.

     3.9 Notice of Special Meetings

     Notice of a special Board or committee meeting stating the place, day and hour of the meeting shall be given to a director (and in the case of a committee meeting, to all alternate members) orally in person or by telephone or in writing by hand delivery, first-class or overnight mail or courier service, telegram, facsimile transmission or electronic transmission addressed to each director at that director’s address as it is shown on the records of the corporation. If the notice is mailed, it shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, at least four (4) days before the time of the holding of the meeting. If by telegram, overnight mail or courier service, the notice shall be deemed given when the telegram is delivered to the telegraph company or the notice is delivered to the overnight mail or courier service at least forty-eight (48) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. If by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission, the notice shall be deemed given when transmitted at least twelve (12) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice given personally or by telephone shall be given at least twelve (12) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting to the director or to a person at the office of the director who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate such notice to the director. The notice need not specify the purpose of the meeting.

     3.10 Waiver of Notice

     Whenever any notice is required to be given to any director under the provisions of these Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board or any committee appointed by the Board need be specified in the waiver of notice of such meeting.

-9-

The attendance of a director at a Board or committee meeting also shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when a director 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.

     3.11 Quorum

     A majority of the total number of directors fixed by or in the manner provided in these Bylaws or, if vacancies exist on the Board, a majority of the total number of directors then serving on the Board (provided, however, that such number may be not less than one-third of the total number of directors fixed by or in the manner provided in these Bylaws) shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any Board meeting. If less than a majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

     3.12 Manner of Acting

     The act of the majority of the directors present at a Board meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board, unless the vote of a greater number is required by these Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL.

     3.13 Presumption of Assent

     A director of the corporation present at a Board or committee meeting at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his or her dissent is entered in the minutes of the meeting, or unless such director files a written dissent to such action with the person acting as the Secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof, or forwards such dissent by registered mail to the Secretary of the corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. A director who voted in favor of such action may not dissent.

     3.14 Action by Board or Committees Without a Meeting

     Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action that could be taken at a meeting of the Board or of any committee appointed by the Board may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or the committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board or such committee.

     3.15 Committees

     (a) The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the number of directors fixed by or in the manner provided in these Bylaws, appoint standing or temporary committees, each committee to consist of one (1) or more directors of the corporation. The Board may designate one (1) or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who

-10-

may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board establishing such committee, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers that require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to (i) amending the Certificate of Incorporation (except that a committee may, to the extent authorized in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted by the Board as provided in Section 151(a) of the DGCL, fix the designations, preferences or rights of such shares to the extent permitted under Section 141 of the DGCL), (ii) adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation under Section 251 or 252 of the DGCL, (iii) recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all the property and assets of the corporation, (iv) recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or (v) amending these Bylaws; and, unless expressly provided by resolution of the Board, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend, to authorize the issuance of stock or to adopt a certificate of ownership and merger pursuant to Section 253 of the DGCL.

     (b) All committees so appointed shall keep regular minutes of their meetings and shall cause them to be recorded in books kept for that purpose.

     (c) A majority of the number of directors composing any committee of the Board, as established and fixed by resolution of the Board, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of such committee but, if less than a majority are present at a meeting, a majority of such directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. The act of a majority of the members of a committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee.

     (d) Any member of any committee may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary, the Board or the Chairman of such committee.

SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION

     10.1 Right to Indemnification

     Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation or that, being or having been such a director or officer or an employee of the corporation, he or she is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as such a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as such a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the full extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), or by other applicable law as then in effect, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in subsection 10.2 hereof with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or ratified by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred in this subsection 10.1 shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the

-17-

corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this subsection 10.1 or otherwise.

     10.2 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit

     If a claim under subsection 10.1 hereof is not paid in full by the corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. The indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Section 10 upon submission of a written claim (and, in an action brought to enforce a claim for an advancement of expenses, where the undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the corporation), and thereafter the corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome the presumption that the indemnitee is not so entitled. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification shall be a defense to the suit or create a presumption that the indemnitee is not so entitled.

     10.3 Nonexclusivity of Rights

     The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 10 shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws or otherwise. Notwithstanding any amendment to or repeal of this Section 10, any indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof with respect to any acts or omissions of such indemnitee occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

-18-

     10.4 Insurance, Contracts and Funding

     The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL. The corporation, without further stockholder approval, may enter into contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent in furtherance of the provisions of this Section 10 and may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided in this Section 10.

     10.5 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation

     The corporation may, by action of the Board, grant rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to employees or agents or groups of employees or agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the provisions of this Section 10 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the corporation; provided, however, that an undertaking shall be made by an employee or agent only if required by the Board.

     10.6 Persons Serving Other Entities

     Any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the corporation who is or was serving (a) as a director or officer of another corporation of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of its directors is held by the corporation or (b) in an executive or management capacity in a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which the corporation or a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporation is a general partner or manager or has a majority ownership shall be deemed to be so serving at the request of the corporation and entitled to indemnification and advancement of expenses under subsection 10.1 hereof.

SECTION 11. AMENDMENTS OR REPEAL

     These Bylaws may be amended or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted by the Board. The stockholders may also amend and repeal these Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws. All Bylaws made by the Board may be amended or repealed by the stockholders. Notwithstanding any amendment to Section 10 hereof or repeal of these Bylaws, or of any amendment or repeal of any of the procedures that may be established by the Board pursuant to Section 10 hereof, any indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof with respect to any acts or omissions of such indemnitee occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
