STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS

Section 1.1 Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) or the Chair of the Board of Directors may designate the place of meeting for any annual or special meeting of the stockholders and the Board of Directors may also designate that the meeting be held by means of remote communication. If no designation is so made, the place of meeting shall be the principal executive offices of the Corporation.

Section 1.2 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held on such date and at such time and place as the Board of Directors may designate. At such annual meeting, the stockholders shall elect directors in accordance with the requirements of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 1.3 Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of the holders of any preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders may only be called by or at the direction of (i) the Chair of the Board of Directors, (ii) the Lead Independent Director, if any, (iii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors that the Corporation would have if all vacancies or unfilled directorships were filled (the “Whole Board”) or (iv) the Chair of the Board of Directors or the Secretary of the Corporation upon a written request by or on behalf of stockholders of the Corporation holding at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting power of all shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote on the matter or matters brought before such meeting. Any such request by stockholders shall (A) be delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, (B) be signed and dated by each stockholder, or a duly authorized agent of each such stockholder, requesting such meeting, (C) set forth the purpose or purposes of the meeting and (D) include the information required by Section 1.14(c), as applicable, and a representation by such stockholder(s) that (1) not later than ten (10) days after the record date for any such special meeting, it will provide such information as of the record date for such special meeting to the extent not previously provided, and (2) not later than five (5) days prior to the date for such special meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof, it shall further update and supplement the information so that such information shall be true and correct as of the date that is ten (10) days prior to such special meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a special meeting requested by stockholders shall not be held if: (i) the stated business to be brought before the special meeting is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws of the Corporation (these “Bylaws”), (ii) the Board of Directors has called or calls for an annual meeting of stockholders to be held within ninety (90) days after the request for the special meeting is delivered to or received by the Secretary of the Corporation and the Board of Directors determines in good faith that the business of such annual meeting includes (among any other matters properly brought before the annual

meeting) an item of business (other than the election of directors) that is identical or substantially similar (a “Similar Item”) to an item of business included in such request, (iii) the business conducted at the most recent annual meeting, or at any special meeting held within one (1) year prior to receipt of such request, included (among any other matters properly brought before such meeting) a Similar Item or (iv) such request is delivered between the sixty-first (61st) day and the three-hundred-sixty- fifth (365th) day after the earliest date of signature on an effective request for a special meeting that has been delivered to the Chair of the Board of Directors or the Secretary of the Corporation relating to a Similar Item. A stockholder may revoke a request for a special meeting at any time by written revocation delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation. If, at any time after receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation of a proper request for a special meeting of stockholders, there are no longer valid requests from stockholders holding in the aggregate at least the requisite number of shares entitling the stockholders to request the calling of a special meeting, whether because of revoked requests or otherwise, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may cancel the special meeting (or, if the special meeting has not yet been called, may direct the Chair of the Board of Directors or the Secretary of the Corporation not to call such a meeting).

Section 1.4 Notice. Notice of an annual or special meeting shall be given in accordance with Section 232 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) or any successor provision thereto to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting unless otherwise required by law. The date, place, if any, and time of the meeting, and 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, shall be stated in the notice of such meeting delivered or mailed to stockholders. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be given in accordance with and at the times provided in Section 232 of the DGCL or any successor provision thereto. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by applicable law. Meetings may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote thereat are present, or if notice is waived by those not present in accordance with

Section 6.4.

Section 1.5 Quorum; Adjournments; Postponement. The holders of stock representing a majority of the voting power of all shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, present in person or represented by proxy, shall be requisite for and shall constitute a quorum of all meetings of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws; provided that, where a separate vote by a class or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. In the absence of a quorum, holders of stock representing a majority of the voting power of all shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, or the chair of the meeting, may adjourn

any annual or special meeting of stockholders, from time to time, until a quorum shall be present or represented, to reconvene at the same or some other place. Furthermore, the chair of the meeting may adjourn any annual or special meeting of stockholders, from time to time, to reconvene at the same or some other place, whether or not a quorum is present or represented. Except as required by applicable law, no notice of the adjourned meeting need be given if the time and place thereof, if any, and 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 adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken or are provided in any other matter permitted by the DGCL. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. Any previously scheduled meeting of stockholders may be postponed, canceled or rescheduled by the Board of Directors at any time, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders, and the Corporation shall publicly announce such postponement, cancellation or rescheduling.

Section 1.6 Proxies; Voting.

(a) At each meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, every stockholder having the right to vote may authorize another person to act for him or her by proxy. Such authorization must be in writing and executed by the stockholder or his or her authorized officer, director, employee or agent. To the extent permitted by applicable law, a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission; provided that the electronic transmission either sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. A copy, facsimile transmission or other reliable reproduction of a writing or transmission authorized by this Section 1.6 may be substituted for or used in lieu of the original writing or electronic transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile transmission or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. No proxy authorized hereby shall be voted or acted upon more than three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary of the Corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date no later than the time designated in the order of business for so delivering such proxies. No ballot, proxies or votes nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto shall be accepted after the time set for the closing of the polls pursuant to Section 1.10 unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware upon application of a stockholder shall determine otherwise. Each proxy shall be delivered to the inspectors of election prior to or at the meeting. In the event the Corporation receives proxies for disqualified or withdrawn nominees for the Board of Directors, such votes for such disqualified or withdrawn nominees in the proxies will be treated as abstentions.

(b) Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or the applicable rules of any securities exchange on which the Corporation’s securities are listed, if a quorum exists at any meeting of stockholders, stockholders shall have approved any matter (other than the election of directors, which is addressed in Section 1.6(c)) if (i) a majority of votes cast on such matter by stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on such matter are in favor of such matter and (ii) where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the votes cast on such matter by stockholders of such class or series or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on such matter are in favor of such matter. For purposes of this Section 1.6(b), a majority of votes cast shall mean that the number of votes cast “for” a matter exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that matter. Votes cast shall include votes against the matter and shall exclude abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to that matter, but abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered for purposes of establishing a quorum.

(c) Except as set forth below, and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, if a quorum exists at any meeting of stockholders, stockholders shall have approved the election of a director if a majority of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of such director are in favor of such election. For purposes of this Section 1.6(c), a majority of votes cast shall mean that the number of votes cast “for” a director’s election exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the number of votes cast with respect to that director’s election. Votes cast shall include any votes against that director’s election and any directions to withhold authority with respect to that director’s election and shall exclude abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to that director’s election, but abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered for purposes of establishing a quorum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a “contested election” of directors, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present and broker non-votes and abstentions will be considered for purposes of establishing a quorum but will not have an effect on the result of the vote. For purposes of this Section 1.6(c), a “contested election” shall mean any election of directors in which the number of candidates for election as directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected, with the determination thereof being made by the Secretary. If, prior to the time the Corporation mails its initial proxy statement in connection with such election of directors, one or more notices of nomination are withdrawn such that the number of candidates for election as director no longer exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the election shall not be considered a contested election, but in all other cases, once an election is determined to be a contested election, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast.

(d) If a nominee for director who is an incumbent director is not elected and no successor has been elected at such meeting, the director shall promptly tender his or her irrevocable resignation to the Board of Directors in accordance with the agreement contemplated by Section 2.16, such resignation to be effective upon acceptance by the Board of Directors as set forth in this Section 1.6(d). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other

action should be taken. The Board of Directors shall act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in making its recommendation, and the Board of Directors in making its decision, may each consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate and relevant. The director who tenders his or her irrevocable resignation shall not participate in the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the decision of the Board of Directors with respect to his or her irrevocable resignation. If such incumbent director’s irrevocable resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, such director shall continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected, or his or her earlier resignation or removal. If a director’s irrevocable resignation is accepted by the Board of Directors pursuant to these Bylaws, or if a nominee for director is not elected and the nominee is not an incumbent director, then the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.3 or may decrease the size of the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2.

(e) So long as the Certificate of Incorporation provides for more or less than one vote for any share on any matter, every reference in these Bylaws to the voting of a majority or other proportion or number of shares of stock shall refer to a majority or such other proportion or number of votes of such stock.

(f) Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board of Directors.

Section 1.7 Inspectors of Election. The Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, which inspector or inspectors may, but does not need to, include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chair of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall perform the actions required by Section 231(b) of the DGCL or any successor provision thereto. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

Section 1.8 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. No later than the 10th day before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the post office address of each such stockholder, and the number of shares held by each, shall be prepared by the Corporation. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days ending on the day before the meeting date (i) during ordinary business hours at the Corporation’s headquarters or (ii) 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.

Section 1.9 Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chair of the Board of Directors, or in his or her absence, by a chair designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation, by the Lead Independent Director, or in his or her absence or if he or she has not been appointed, by a chair chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence, the chair of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 1.10 Conduct of Meetings. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at or prior to such meeting by the chair of the meeting. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may adopt by resolution such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chair of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chair, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chair of the meeting, 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 the chair of the meeting shall permit; (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. The chair of any meeting shall determine all matters relating to the conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, determining whether any nomination or other item of business has been properly brought before the meeting in accordance with these Bylaws, and if the chair of the meeting should so determine and declare that any nomination or other item of business has not been properly brought before the meeting, then such nomination shall be disregarded and such business shall not be transacted at such meeting. Business conducted at a special meeting requested by stockholders shall be limited to the matters described in the request for such a meeting delivered pursuant to Section 1.3; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit the Board of Directors from submitting any matter to the stockholders at any such special meeting. If none of the stockholders who submitted the request for a special meeting appears or otherwise sends a qualified representative to present the business proposed to be conducted at such meeting, the chair of such meeting need not present such business for a vote of stockholders at such meeting. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chair of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.

Section 1.11 Fixing Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof, 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 of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date, (i) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by applicable law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting; and (ii) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed, (A) 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 date next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (B) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders 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.

Section 1.12 Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to such series of Preferred Stock and except as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

Section 1.13 Order of Business.

(a) Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At any annual meeting of the stockholders, only such nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors shall be made, and only such other business shall be conducted or considered, as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. For nominations to be properly made at an annual meeting, and proposals of other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting, nominations and proposals of other business must be: (i) specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) otherwise properly made at the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) otherwise properly requested to be brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder of the Corporation in accordance with these Bylaws. For nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors or proposals of other business to be properly requested by a stockholder to be made at an annual meeting, a stockholder must (A) be a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice of such annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors and at the time of the annual meeting, (B) be entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (C) comply with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws as to such business or nomination. Subject to Section 1.14, the immediately preceding sentence shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or other business proposals (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of stockholders.

(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. At any special meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted or considered as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before a special meeting, proposals of business must be (i) specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) otherwise properly made at the special meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) otherwise properly requested to be brought before the special meeting by a stockholder of the Corporation in accordance with Section 1.3; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Board of Directors from submitting additional matters to stockholders at any such special meeting. Nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (A) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (B) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (x) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice of such special meeting and at the time of the special meeting, (y) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (z) complies with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws as to such nomination. Subject to Section 1.14, this Section 1.13(b) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or other business proposals (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before a special meeting of stockholders.

(c) General. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the chair of any annual or special meeting shall have the power to determine whether a nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before any stockholder meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or other business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that no action shall be taken on such nomination or other proposed business and such nomination shall be disregarded or such other proposed business shall not be conducted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation.

Section 1.14 Advance Notice of Stockholder Proposal.

(a) Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Without qualification or limitation, subject to Section 1.14(c)(iv), for any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 1.13(a), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof (including, without limitation, in the case of nominations, the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.15), and timely updates and supplements thereof, in each case in proper form, in writing to the Secretary, and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day and not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement of an annual 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.

Notwithstanding anything in the immediately preceding paragraph to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased by the Board of Directors, and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 1.14(a) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation. The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at an annual meeting (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.

In addition, to be considered timely, a stockholder’s notice shall further be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than ten (10) days after the record date for the meeting in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date, and not later than the fifth (5th) day prior to the date for the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a stockholder providing notice and/or beneficial owner that intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees no longer intends to solicit proxies in accordance with its representation pursuant to Section 1.14(c)(i)(M), such stockholder and/or beneficial owner shall inform the Corporation of this change by delivering a writing to the Secretary of the Corporation no later than two business days after the occurrence of such change. The obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any

other section of these Bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or under any other provision of these Bylaws or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder or under any other provision of these Bylaws to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including, without limitation, by changing or adding nominees, matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

(b) Special Meeting of Stockholders. Without qualification or limitation, subject to Section 1.14(c)(iv), for any business to be properly requested to be brought before a special meeting of stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to Section 1.13(b), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof and timely updates and supplements thereof, in each case in proper form, in writing to the Secretary and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action.

Subject to Section 1.14(c)(iv), in the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any stockholder may nominate an individual or individuals (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting; provided that the stockholder gives timely notice thereof (including, without limitation, the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.16), and timely updates and supplements thereof, in each case in proper form, in writing to the Secretary.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the date of such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the date of such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such special meeting, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and, if applicable, of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.
