MEETINGSOF STOCKHOLDERS
Section 2.01. Time and Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, or at no place (by means of remote communication), on such date and at such time as may be determined from time to time by or in the manner determined by the Board of Directors (or the chairperson in the absence of a designation by the Board of Directors). The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (“Delaware Law”). If no determination is made by the Board of Directors or the chairperson, the place of meeting shall be the principal executive offices of the Corporation. The Corporation may postpone, reschedule or cancel any meeting of stockholders previously scheduled at any time, before or after notice of such meeting has been sent to the stockholders of the Corporation.
Section 2.02. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors and to transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting in accordance with these Bylaws.
Section 2.03. Special Meetings. (a) Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, including any certificate of designation, as amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors.
(b) Business conducted at a special meeting shall be limited to the matters stated in the resolutions adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors, pursuant to which the special meeting was called.
Section 2.04. Notice of Meetings and Adjourned Meetings; Waivers of Notice. (a) Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by Delaware Law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, such notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting. The Board of Directors or the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn any meeting from time to time (whether or not a quorum is present). When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communications), notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which such adjournment occurs or provided in any other manner permitted by Delaware Law. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meetings of stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends the 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. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.
(i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors or the proposal of other business to be transacted by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (A) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof duly authorized, (B) as may be provided in the certificate of designations for any class or series of preferred stock, (C) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (D) by any stockholder of the Corporation who (x) is a stockholder of record (or a beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf the nomination or business is proposed, only if such beneficial owner is the beneficial owner of shares of capital stock of the Corporation) both at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.05(a) and at the time of the annual meeting, (y) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (z) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.05(a) and, except as otherwise required by law, any failure to comply with these procedures shall result in the nullification of such nomination or proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clause (D) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or propose other business at an annual meeting of stockholders (other than a proposal included in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”).
(ii) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to clause (D) of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.05, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the Corporation (and provide any updates or supplements to the information contained in such notice at the time and in the form required by this Section 2.05) and any such proposed business (other than the nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors) must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day nor later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that, subject to the penultimate sentence of this paragraph, in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 70 days prior to such anniversary date or more than 30 days after such anniversary date, then to be timely such notice must be received by the Corporation no earlier than 120 days prior to such
3
annual meeting and no later than the later of the close of business on the 90th day prior to the date of the meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting was first made by the Corporation.

In no event shall the adjournment, recess or postponement of any meeting or the public announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting on its own behalf (or in the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting on behalf of such beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.05 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting of stockholders is increased, effective after the time period for which nominations would otherwise be due under this Section 2.05, and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 10 days before the last day a stockholder may deliver a notice of nomination in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(ii), a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.05 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new directorships created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to, and received by, the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

No business shall be conducted at a stockholder meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03 and this Section 2.05.
11
(ii) Without limiting any remedy available to the Corporation, and unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, the chairperson of the Board of Directors or the chairperson of the meeting, a stockholder may not present nominations for director or business proposals at an annual or special meeting of stockholders (and any such nominee shall be disqualified from standing for election or re-election), notwithstanding proxies or votes may have been solicited and/or received with respect thereto, if such stockholder, any beneficial owner, any Proposing Person or any nominee or substitute nominee for director: (A) acted contrary to any representation, statement, certification or agreement required by the applicable provisions of these Bylaws; (B) otherwise failed to comply with these Bylaws or with any law, rule or regulation identified in these Bylaws, including all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.05; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 2.05; or (C) provided information to the Corporation (whether required by these Bylaws or otherwise) that is false, misleading, inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect. The Board of Directors, the chairperson of the Board of Directors or the chairperson of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws or that business was not properly brought before the meeting, and if he or she should so determine and declare to the meeting, the defective nomination shall be disregarded or such business shall not be transacted, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination or other proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded or such proposed business shall not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation and counted for purposes of determining a quorum. For purposes of this Section 2.05, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.
12
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Bylaws, unless otherwise required by law, if any Proposing Person (i) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or has previously filed a preliminary or definitive proxy statement with the information required by Rule 14a-19(b)) with respect to any proposed nominee for election as a director of the Corporation and (ii) subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or fails to timely provide reasonable documentary evidence sufficient to satisfy the Corporation that such Proposing Person has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with the following sentence), then the nomination of each such proposed nominee shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for election or re-election), notwithstanding that the nominee is included (as applicable) as a nominee in the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials for any meeting (or any supplement thereto) and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of the election of such proposed nominees may have been received by the Corporation (which proxies and votes shall be disregarded). If any Proposing Person provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or has previously filed a preliminary or definitive proxy statement with the information required by Rule 14a-19(b)), such Proposing Person shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than five business days prior to the applicable meeting, reasonable documentary evidence sufficient to satisfy the Corporation that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.
(iii) Compliance with Section 2.05(a) and (b) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than as provided in Section 2.05(c)(iv)).
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the notice requirements set forth herein with respect to the proposal of any business pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if such stockholder has submitted a proposal to the Corporation in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, and such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for the meeting of stockholders.
(v) Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders in connection with any annual or special meeting of stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use for solicitation by or on behalf of the Board of Directors.
(vi) Upon written request by the secretary of the Corporation, the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, each candidate whom a stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director shall, and such stockholder shall cause such nominee to, make himself or herself reasonably available for interviews with the Board of Directors and any duly authorized committee thereof within five business days of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request).
13
(vii) The stockholder shall update and supplement the information contained in the notice required by this Section 2.05, if necessary, so that the information provided or required in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the annual meeting, and as of the date that is the 10th business day prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Such update and supplement shall be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the 5th business day after the record date for the annual meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date) and not later than the 8th business day before the date of the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof, and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed (in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of the 10th business day prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this Section 2.05 or any other section of these Bylaws shall not cure or affect the accuracy (or inaccuracy) of any representations made by any Proposing Person or a nominee or the validity (or invalidity) of any nomination that failed to comply with this Section 2.05 or is rendered invalid as a result of any inaccuracy therein.
(viii) For purposes of these Bylaws, “business day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banks are closed in New York City, New York, and “close of business” means 5:00 p.m. local time at the principal executive offices of the Corporation on any calendar day, whether or not the day is a business day. For purposes of Sections 2.05(a) and 2.05(b) of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, the Associated Press or any 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.
Section 2.06. Quorum. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws and subject to Delaware Law, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the stockholders, either the chairperson of the meeting or the stockholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting.
14
Section 2.07. Voting. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and subject to Delaware Law, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of capital stock of the Corporation having voting power held by such stockholder. Any share of capital stock of the Corporation held by the Corporation shall have no voting rights. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Corporation’s securities are listed and subject to Delaware Law, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively at the meeting at which a quorum is present and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specific circumstances, a nominee for director shall be elected to the Board of Directors if the nominee receives a majority of the votes cast with respect to that nominee’s election (i.e., the number of votes cast in favor of that nominee’s election exceeds the number of votes cast against that nominee’s election) at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that if the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected as of the date that is five business days in advance of the date the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (a “contested election”), the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the voting power of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.
(b) Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy in the manner permitted by Delaware Law, and deliver such proxy to the secretary of the meeting. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from its date, unless said proxy provides for a longer period.
(c) Votes may be cast by any stockholder entitled to vote in person or by his or her proxy. In determining the number of votes cast for or against a proposal or nominee, shares abstaining from voting on a matter (including elections) will not be treated as a vote cast.
Section 2.08. No Action by Consent. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may only be taken upon a vote of stockholders at an annual or special meeting of stockholders duly noticed and called in accordance with these Bylaws, Delaware Law and the Certificate of Incorporation, and may not be taken by written consent of stockholders without a meeting.
Section 2.09. Organization and Conduct of Meeting. At each meeting of stockholders, the chairperson of the Board of Directors, if one shall have been elected, or in the chairperson’s absence or if one shall not have been elected, the person designated by the Board of Directors, shall act as chairperson of the meeting. The secretary of the Corporation (or in the secretary’s absence or inability to act, the person whom the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint secretary of the meeting) shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof. The Corporation
15
may adopt rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, including, without limitation, such guidelines and procedures as it may deem appropriate regarding the participation by means of remote communication of stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting. Subject to any rules and regulations adopted by the Corporation and, in each case, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors, the chairperson of the meeting shall have authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairperson, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Corporation or prescribed by the chairperson of the meeting, in each case, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as shall be determined; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.
Section 2.10. Order of Business. The order of business at all meetings of stockholders shall be as determined by the chairperson of the meeting.
Section 2.11. Written Documents. Whenever this Article 2 requires one or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock) to deliver a document or information (other than a document authorizing another person to act for a stockholder by proxy at a meeting of stockholders pursuant to Section 212 of Delaware Law) to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation nor other document or agreement), the Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery of such document or information unless the document or information is in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

At the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members 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 of Directors 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 of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors 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 which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to the following matters: (i) approving or adopting, or recommending to the stockholders, any action or matter (other than the election or removal of directors) expressly required by Delaware Law to be submitted to the stockholders for approval or (ii) adopting, amending or repealing any Bylaw of the Corporation.

Section 3.09. Action by Consent. Unless otherwise restricted 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 any consent may be documented, signed and delivered in any manner permitted by Delaware Law.

19
elect directors, whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in accordance with Delaware Law. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, when one or more directors shall resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have the power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, if so specified, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in the filling of the vacancies.
