ARTICLE III

DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION

Section 3.01    Exchange of Certificates.

(a)    Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into a customary paying agent agreement with a nationally recognized commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the benefit of the holders of Shares who exchange their Shares in accordance with thisArticle III. Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the

14

holders of Shares, for exchange in accordance with thisArticle III promptly after the Effective Time, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant toSection 2.04(a) (such cash, the “Payment Fund”). To the extent the Payment Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required to make prompt payment of the amounts described in the preceding sentence, Parent and Merger Sub shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the lost portion of such fund so as to ensure that it is maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments. The Paying Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration out of the Payment Fund. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent;provided,however, that no such investment or losses thereon shall relieve Parent from making the payments required by thisArticle III or affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Shares, no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement and, following any losses, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent in the amount of any such losses. Any interest or other income from such investments shall be paid to and become income of Parent. Except as contemplated bySection 3.01(d), the Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as specified in thisSection 3.01(a). The Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares and the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of the Shares.

(b)    Payment Procedures.

(i)    As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant toSection 2.04(a): (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Shares to the Paying Agent) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Shares pursuant to such letter of transmittal.

(ii)    Upon (A) surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, or (B) receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” in the case of Book-Entry Shares, and, in each case, such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check in the amount equal to the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant toSection 2.04(a) and thisArticle III, in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such holder’s Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable Merger Consideration may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate orBook-Entry Shares representing such Shares are presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated bySection 2.04(a) and this

15

Section 3.01, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender, without interest, the Merger Consideration, except as otherwise provided by applicable Law.

(c)    No Further Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of thisArticle III upon conversion of any Shares shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares.

(d)    Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund (including proceeds of any investment thereof) that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares on the date that is twelve months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent or its designee, upon demand, and any holders of Shares who have not theretofore complied with thisArticle III shall thereafter look only to Parent as a general creditor for the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled pursuant toSection 2.04(a).

(e)    No Liability. None of the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any Merger Consideration from the Payment Fund or other cash properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Payment Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f)    Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement in respect of Shares such amount as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, any provision of applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law or any other Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(g)    Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant toSection 2.04(a).

Section 3.02    Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares thereafter on the records of the Company. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares presented to the Paying Agent or Parent for any reason shall be cancelled and exchanged solely for the Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant toSection 2.04(a).

16

Section 3.03    Company Restricted Stock Units. At the Effective Time, any restricted stock units providing for a right to receive Shares (the “Company Restricted Stock Units”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, supplemented or modified (the “Company Stock Plan”) or any applicable award agreement or other agreement with the Company shall, as of the Effective Time, whether granted prior to the date of this Agreement or granted after the date of this Agreement as permitted by this Agreement, become fully vested and nonforfeitable and shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (ii) the total number of Shares subject to such Company Restricted Stock Unit, subject to applicable Tax withholding and other authorized deductions, which shall be paid or provided by Parent as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall adopt such resolutions as may reasonably be appropriate or required in its discretion to effectuate the actions contemplated by thisSection 3.03.

Section 3.04    Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, any Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by a holder (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) who has neither voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement nor consented thereto in writing and who has demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Shares and otherwise properly perfected and not withdrawn or lost his or her rights (the “Dissenting Shares”) in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration. Such Dissenting Stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of Dissenting Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who have failed to perfect or who effectively have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration in the manner provided inSection 2.04(a) and thisArticle III and shall no longer be Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in thisSection 3.04, if the Merger is rescinded or abandoned, then the right of any stockholder to be paid the fair value of such stockholder’s Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease. The Company shall give Parent and Merger Sub prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal. The Company shall give Parent and Merger Sub the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisals of Dissenting Shares, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal or other treatment of any such demands.

Section 7.03    No Solicitation of Transactions by the Company.

(a)    The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, and shall instruct (and use its reasonable best efforts to cause) the Representatives of the Company to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, discussions, communications or negotiations with any Person that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and shall request within five (5) Business Days of the date of this Agreement the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person in connection therewith and immediately terminate all physical and electronic dataroom access previously granted to any such Person, its Affiliates, Representatives or financing sources. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of any existing standstill or confidentiality agreement to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, enforce the provisions of any such agreement;provided,however, that the Company may grant a waiver of, and shall not be obligated to enforce, any such provision (i) solely to the extent necessary to permit a party to submit a confidential Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board, (ii) if the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to grant such waiver or to decide not to so enforce would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (iii) if the Company promptly (and, in any event, within 48 hours) notifies Parent of any such waiver or decision not to enforce.

(b)    Except as expressly permitted by thisSection 7.03, during thePre-Closing Period, the Company agrees that it shall not and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and any of their officers, directors or employees of it or any of its Subsidiaries not to, and shall cause the other Representatives of the Company not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate, knowingly induce or knowingly encourage any inquiries with respect to or the implementation or submission of any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiries, proposals or offers that would be reasonably expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions, communications or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person anynon-public information in connection with, or for the purpose of facilitating or encouraging, any inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute, or would be reasonably expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, except to notify such Person of the existence of thisSection 7.03 or (iii) execute or enter into any Acquisition Agreement;provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may grant a waiver, amendment or release under any confidentiality or standstill agreement, solely to the extent necessary to allow a confidential Acquisition Proposal to be made to the Company or the Company Board so long as (x) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that

44

the failure to grant such waiver, amendment or release would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (y) the Company promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notifies Parent of any such waiver, amendment or release;provided,however, that, prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, nothing contained in thisSection 7.03 shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from furnishing information to, or engaging in discussions, communications or negotiations with, any Person that made a bona fide Acquisition Proposal, which Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach (or deemed breach) of thisSection 7.03, if, and only if, prior to taking such action referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, (A) the Company Board (1) determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal is, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal, and (2) determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that its failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (B) the Company provides written notice to Parent of the determination referenced in clause (A) promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours of such determination), and (C) the Company receives from such Person an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement. The Company shall deliver to Parent a copy of any executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) following its execution. The Company shall provide to Parent anynon-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person entering into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to thisSection 7.03(b) that has not been previously provided to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person.

(c)    The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within 48 hours) (i) provide Parent written notice of (A) the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or (B) any inquiries, proposals or offers received by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any Representatives of the Company concerning an Acquisition Proposal and (ii) disclose to Parent the identity of such Person making, and an unredacted copy of, any such Acquisition Proposal or any such inquiry, proposal or offer made in writing (or, if made orally, a reasonably detailed description of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal or offer). The Company shall, promptly upon receipt or delivery thereof (and, in any event, within 48 hours), provide Parent with copies of all drafts and final versions of definitive or other agreements including schedules and exhibits thereto (which may be redacted to the extent necessary to protect confidential information of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal) relating to such Acquisition Proposal, in each case exchanged between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or any of its Representatives, on the other hand. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably prompt basis (and, in any event, within 48 hours of any material development) of the status and details (including with respect to any change in price or other material amendments) of any such Acquisition Proposal or other inquiry, proposal or offer concerning an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within 48 hours) following a determination by the Company Board that an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, notify Parent of such determination.

(d)    Except as expressly set forth inSection 7.03(e), neither the Company nor the Company Board, as applicable, shall, and neither shall resolve, agree or publicly propose to: (i) fail to make or include in the Proxy Statement, withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Recommendation; (ii) endorse,

45

approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) enter into any Acquisition Agreement; or (iv) refrain from recommending against (and reaffirming the Company Recommendation) any Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement thereof (any such action, other than those set forth in the preceding clause (iii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(e)    Notwithstanding anything in thisSection 7.03 to the contrary, prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and so long as the Company is not then in breach (or deemed breach) of thisSection 7.03, (i) if the Company receives an unsolicited, written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside advisors) is a Superior Proposal and determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that its failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant toSection 9.01(d)(ii) to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal or (ii) the Company Board may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change if a Company Intervening Event occurs and as a result thereof the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law;provided that:

(A)    prior to terminating this Agreement pursuant toSection 9.01(d)(ii) to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, (w) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to take such actions, (x) the Company has provided Parent a summary of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, which shall include all of the information that is specified inSection 7.03(c), (y) if requested to do so by Parent, for a period of three (3) calendar days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith, and shall have made the Representatives of the Company available to discuss and negotiate in good faith, with Parent and its Representatives, any bona fide proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (z) no earlier than the end of such three (3) calendar day period, the Company Board (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor), shall have determined in good faith, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent during such three (3) calendar day period, that such Superior Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal and that the failure to terminate this Agreement pursuant toSection 9.01(d)(ii) to enter into a definitive agreement in connection therewith would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any change to the financial or other material terms of a proposal that was previously the subject of a notice hereunder shall require a new notice to Parent as provided above, but with respect to any such subsequent notices references herein to a “three (3) calendar day period” shall be deemed to be references to a “two (2) calendar day period”); and

46

(B)    prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to a Company Intervening Event, (x) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect such Adverse Recommendation Change, describing in reasonable detail the reasons for such Adverse Recommendation Change, (y) if requested to do so by Parent, for a period of three (3) calendar days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith, and shall have made the Representatives of the Company available to discuss and negotiate in good faith, with Parent and its Representatives any bona fide proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (z) no earlier than the end of such three (3) calendar day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent during such three (3) calendar day period, that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f)    Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule14d-9 and Rule14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or from making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if the Company Board determines (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that its failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law;provided that any Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made in accordance withSection 7.03(e). For the avoidance of doubt, a factually accurate public statement that describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto (without including a reaffirmation) shall not be deemed an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(g)    Except as set forth inSection 9.03(a)(ii) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, for purposes of this Agreement:

(i)    “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal, offer or indication of interest from any Person or group (other than Parent or Merger Sub) relating to, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (A) any direct or indirect acquisition of (x) more than 15% of the assets (whether based on the fair market value, revenue generation or net income) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, including in any such case through the acquisition of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company owning such assets, or (y) more than 15% of any class of equity securities, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities, of the Company; (B) any tender offer or exchange offer, as defined pursuant to the Exchange Act, that if consummated would result, directly or indirectly, in any Person or group (or the shareholders of any Person or group) beneficially owning 15% or more of any class of equity securities, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities, of the Company; or (C) any merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would result in any Person or group (or the shareholders of any Person or group) beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, more than 15% of any class of equity securities, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities, of the Company or 15% of the voting power of the surviving entity

47

in a merger involving the Company or the resulting direct or indirect parent of the Company or such surviving entity (or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities representing such voting power). Whenever the term “group” is used in this Agreement, it shall have the definition set forth in Rule13d-3 of the Exchange Act.

(ii)    “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (with all references to 15% in the definition of Acquisition Proposal being treated as references to 50% for purposes of this definition) made by any Person or group (other than Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) after the date of this Agreement, which Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach (or deemed breach) of thisSection 7.03, that (A) is on terms that the Company Board determines in good faith (after receiving the advice of its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and after taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal) are more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby (taking into account any proposed amendment or modification proposed by Parent pursuant toSection 7.03(e)(A)) and (B) the Company Board determines (after receiving the advice of its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) is reasonably capable of being consummated in accordance with its terms in a reasonable period of time (as compared to the Transactions), taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects (including certainty of closing, certainty of financing and the identity of the Person making the Acquisition Proposal) of such proposal.

(h)    It is understood that for all purposes of this Agreement, in the event that any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of thisSection 7.03, such action shall be deemed to be a breach of thisSection 7.03 by the Company.

(i)    References in thisSection 7.03 to the “Company Board” shall include, to the extent applicable, a duly authorized committee thereof.

Section 7.04    Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a)    Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable Law or the terms of any contract or agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject (provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonably efforts to promptly obtain, at the sole expense of Parent, any consent required under such contract or agreement in order that it may comply with the terms of thisSection 7.04(a)), during thePre-Closing Period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) provide to Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantor and their respective Representatives access at reasonable times during normal business hours upon prior notice to the officers, employees, agents, properties, offices and other facilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to the books and records thereof (so long as such access does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary); and (ii) furnish promptly to Parent such information concerning the business, properties, contracts, assets, liabilities, personnel and other aspects of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantor or their respective Representatives may reasonably request;provided,however, that the Company shall not be required to provide access to or disclose any information if such access or disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of the Company or

48

any of its Subsidiaries or violate any contract, Law or Order (provided that, at Parent’s sole expense, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy or violation).

(b)    All information obtained by the parties pursuant to thisSection 7.04 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that Parent and Guarantor shall be entitled to share any Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) and otherwise discuss consideration of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with potential financing sources and the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed amended to include such financing sources within the meaning of “Yanmar Authorized Recipient” (as such term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement).

(c)    No investigation pursuant to thisSection 7.04 shall affect any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto.

Section 7.05    Employee Benefits Matters.

(a)    From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor in accordance with their terms, all contracts, agreements and plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time that are applicable to any current or former employees or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. Employees of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall receive credit for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting (but not for benefit accruals) under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries for service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the Effective Time with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company;provided,however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any such benefit. In addition, Parent shall waive, or cause to be waived, any limitations on benefits relating to anypre-existing conditions to the extent such conditions are covered immediately prior to the Effective Time under the applicable Company Plans and to the same extent such limitations are waived under any comparable plan of Parent or its Subsidiaries and use reasonable best efforts to recognize, for purposes of annual deductible andout-of-pocket limits under its medical and dental plans, deductible andout-of-pocket expenses paid by employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries in the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(b)    Nothing contained in thisSection 7.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, express or implied (i) shall cause either Parent or any of its Affiliates to be obligated to continue to employ any Person for any period of time following the Effective Time, (ii) shall prevent Parent or its Affiliates from revising, amending or terminating any Company Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program or policy in effect from time to time (other than the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan, which shall be maintained in accordance with its terms until the payments contemplated thereby for the year ending December 31, 2019 have been made), (iii) shall be construed as an amendment of any Company Plan or (iv) shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any director, officer, employee or individual Person, including any present or former employee, officer, director or individual independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any beneficiary or dependent of such individual).

(a)    The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification than are set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company, unless such modification shall be required by Law.

(b)    The Surviving Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain in effect for six years from the Effective Time, if available, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company (except the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable to the Persons covered by such policies maintained by the Company) with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time;provided,however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend pursuant to thisSection 7.06(b) an annual amount in excess of 300% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance;provided,further, that, if the amount of the annual premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds such maximum amount, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain or procure, for suchsix-year period, the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for an annual premium equal to that maximum amount.

If such “tail” prepaid policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policies in full force and effect, for their full respective terms, and continue to honor its respective obligations thereunder.

For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and its Affiliates shall not be required (and Parent shall not require the Company to, and the Company shall not be required to), take any action with respect to any order or any applicable Law which is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger. Parent shall be entitled to direct the defense of the Transactions in any antitrust investigation or litigation by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Authority or other Person relating to the Merger or regulatory filings under applicable Law,provided, that Parent shall in good faith consider all views and input provided by the Company.

59

(iii)    if the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant toSection 9.01(d)(ii).

then, in any such event, the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee, which amount shall be payable in cash by wire transfer ofsame-day funds. Any Termination Fee due underSection 9.03(a)(i) shall be paid to Parent within two (2) Business Days after the date of termination of this Agreement. Any fee due underSection 9.03(a)(ii) shall be paid to Parent prior to or concurrently with the consummation of the transaction referenced in clause (C) ofSection 9.03(a)(ii). Any fee due underSection 9.03(a)(iii) shall be paid to Parent prior to or concurrently with (and as a condition to) such termination.

(b)    The Company agrees that if Parent shall terminate this Agreement pursuant toSection 9.01(c)(i), the Company shall reimburse Parent and Merger Sub for all of their Expenses, up to a maximum of $500,000, in the aggregate (not later than two Business Days after submission by Parent of statements therefor). In the event Parent becomes entitled to receive a Termination Fee pursuant toSection 9.03(a) after the payment to Parent or Merger Sub of any Expenses under thisSection 9.03(b), the amount of the Termination Fee payable shall be reduced by any Expenses previously reimbursed pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(c)    Parent agrees that if the Company shall terminate this Agreement pursuant toSection 9.01(d)(i) orSection 9.01(d)(iii), Parent shall reimburse the Company for all of its Expenses, up to a maximum of $500,000, in the aggregate (not later than two Business Days after submission by the Company of statements therefor).

(d)    Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, includingSection 7.15 and thisSection 9.03, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such Expenses, whether or not the Merger or any other Transaction is consummated, except that the Company and Parent shall each payone-half of all Expenses relating to (i) printing, filing and mailing the Proxy Statement and all SEC and other regulatory filing fees incurred in connection with the Proxy Statement and (ii) any filing fees for filings under applicable foreign, federal or state antitrust, competition or fair trade Laws.

(e)    The Company and Parent acknowledge that the agreements contained in thisSection 9.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that the Company shall fail to pay the Termination Fee or the Company or Parent shall fail to pay any Expenses when due, the term “Expenses” shall be deemed to include the costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by Parent and Merger Sub or the Company, as the case may be (including fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection under and enforcement of thisSection 9.03, together with interest on such unpaid Termination Fee and Expenses, commencing on the date that the Termination Fee or such Expenses became due, at a rate of interest equal to the prime lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. Payment of the fees and expenses described in thisSection 9.03 shall not be in lieu of any damages incurred in the event of fraud or intentional breach of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event this Agreement is terminated by a party for any reason at a time when the other party would have had the right to terminate this Agreement, such other party shall be entitled to receipt of any Expenses or (in the case of

60

Parent) Termination Fee that would have been (or would have subsequently become) payable had such other party terminated this Agreement at such time. In no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee or the Company or Parent be required to pay any Expenses in connection with the termination of this Agreement more than once, whether or not the Termination Fee or any such Expenses may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events.

(f)    The parties hereto acknowledge that the agreements contained in thisSection 9.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but subject toSection 9.02, payment of the fees described in thisSection 9.03 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent and Merger Sub in connection with any termination of this Agreement in the circumstances in which such fees became payable. In the event that Parent shall receive the Termination Fee, the receipt of such fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates or its or their Representatives arising out of this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination.

Section 9.04    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by action taken by or on behalf of their respective Boards of Directors at any time prior to the Effective Time;provided,however, that, after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, no amendment may be made that would reduce the amount or change the type of consideration into which each Share shall be converted upon consummation of the Merger or that would otherwise require the approval of the stockholders of the Company, under applicable Law or in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq or any other relevant stock exchange, without such approval having been obtained. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

Section 9.05    Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any breach of or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any other party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) subject to the proviso in the first sentence ofSection 9.04 and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive compliance with any agreement of any other party or any condition to its own obligations contained in this Agreement. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company or Parent or Merger Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise of any other right hereunder.

Each and every right, remedy and power granted to the Company pursuant to this Section 10.11 or allowed it by Law or agreement with respect to this Section 10.11 shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Company at any time or from time to time.

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

2.1    Annual Meeting. Meetings of stockholders may be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized bySection 2.13 of these Amended and Restated Bylaws (these “Bylaws”). Unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting as permitted bySection 2.12 of these Bylaws, an annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors shall be held on a date and at a time as shall be designated by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

2.2    Special Meetings. Unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called for any purpose or purposes by the (i) Chief Executive Officer, if any; (ii) President, in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer; or (iii) Secretary at the request in writing of (A) a majority of the members of the Board of Directors or (B) holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote, and may not be called by the stockholders absent such a request. Any such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.

If any person or persons other than the Board calls a special meeting, the request shall: (i) be in writing; (ii) specify the date and time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted; and (iii) be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by facsimile transmission to the Corporation’s Chairperson of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer) or Secretary.The officer(s) receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly given to the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, in accordance with the provisions ofSection 2.3 andSection 4.2 of these Bylaws, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting. No business may be transacted at such special meeting other than business specified in such notice to stockholders.

2.3    Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings. All notices of meetings of stockholders shall be sent, or otherwise given, in accordance withSection 4.2 of these Bylaws not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and hour 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.

2.4    Voting List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, 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. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall 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 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 Corporation’s principal executive office. 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, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall 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 shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

2.5    Quorum. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairperson of the meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

2.6    Adjourned Meeting; Notice. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these Bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof 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 the adjournment is taken. At the continuation of 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 shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

2

2.7    Conduct of Business. The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of business.

2.8    Voting. The stockholders of record on the books of the Corporation at the close of business on the record date as determined by the Board of Directors and only such stockholders shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, subject to Section 217 (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock) and Section 218 (relating to voting trusts and other voting agreements) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.

2.9    Record Date. 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, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or 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, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted and which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other such action. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, then: (i) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or 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; (ii) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed and (iii) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;provided,however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

2.10    Action at Meetings. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of applicable law or of the Certificate of Incorporation, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

2.11    Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by the DGCL filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL shall govern the revocability of any proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable.

3

2.12    Action by StockholdersWithout a Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required by the DGCL to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware (by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested), to its principal place of business, or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation as provided in Section 228 of the DGCL. In the event that the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any provision of the DGCL if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting thereof, the certificate filed under such provision shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such provision concerning any vote of stockholders, that written consent has been given in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL.

A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or by a person authorized to act for a stockholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of thisSection 2.13, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine (i) that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or by a person authorized to act for the stockholder and (ii) the date on which such stockholder or authorized person transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until (i) such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware (by hand or by certified mail, return receipt requested), its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded or (ii) such consent is delivered to the Corporation’s principal place of business or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded, if delivered to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the Board of Directors.

2.13    Meeting by Remote Communication. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the DGCL the Board may in its sole discretion permit stockholders to participate in a meeting of stockholders by means of remote communication and shall be deemed present in person and

4

permitted to vote at such meeting, provided that (i) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at such meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (ii) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in such meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of such meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (iii) if such any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at such meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

Each director so chosen shall serve until his successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation, removal or death. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by statute.

If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the Corporation should have no directors in office, then any officer or any stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, or may apply to the Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election as provided in Section 211 of the DGCL.

If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office shall constitute less than a majority of the whole board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any

stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten (10%) percent of the total number of shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the DGCL as far as applicable.

3.4    Location of Meetings; MeetingsBy Telephone. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware.

3.6    Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors;provided that any director who is absent when such a determination is made shall be given notice of such location.

Special meetings may be called by the (i) Chief Executive Officer, if any, (ii) President, in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer, or (iii) Secretary, upon the written request of two directors unless the Board of Directors consists of only one director, in which case special meetings may be called by the Secretary upon the written request of the sole director. Notice may be waived in accordance with Section 229 of the DGCL, or any successor thereto. If the notice is (i) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone, (ii) sent by facsimile or (iii) sent by electronic mail, it shall be delivered or sent at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is sent by United States mail, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four (4) days before the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice may be communicated to the director. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting (if the meeting is to be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office) nor the purpose of the meeting.

3.8    Quorum and Action at Meetings. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the total number of duly elected directors then in office (but in no case less than 1/3 of the total number of authorized directors) shall constitute 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 shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum

6

shall be present. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

3.9    ActionWithout a Meeting. 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 the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

3.10    Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. 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. 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 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, but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to (i) approving, adopting or recommending to the stockholders any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval or (ii) adopting, amending or repealing any Bylaw of the Corporation. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

3.11    Committee Minutes. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required to do so by the Board of Directors.

Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (2) 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 shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

As used in 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.

Whenever any notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL or 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 such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such 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 by specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea ofnolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person 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 such person’s conduct was unlawful.

8.2    Indemnification of Directors and Officers in Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation.

8.3    Successful Defense. To the extent 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 in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
