If the Corporation’s notice of the special meeting provides for the election of directors, the only persons who may be nominated for such election are candidates who are nominated pursuant to (i) the Corporation’s notice of meeting (ii) by or at the

discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or (iii) by any shareholder of record of the Corporation who satisfies the requirements of Section 1.11(a) of these Bylaws.

The shareholders requesting a special meeting may revoke their demand at any time by written revocation, signed and dated by each shareholder (or his or her duly authorized agent) delivered to the Secretary.

Section 1.04Record Date for Meetings and Other Purposes. The Board of Directors may fix a time, not more than 70 days prior to the date of any meeting of the shareholders, or the date fixed for the payment of any dividend or distribution, or the date for the allotment of rights or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of shares will be made or go into effect, as the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, such meeting, or to receive any such allotment of rights or to exercise the rights in respect to any such change or conversion or exchange of shares. In such case, only such shareholders as shall be shareholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to notice of, or to vote at, such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such allotment of rights or to exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Corporation after any record date fixed as aforesaid. A determination of shareholders of record shall be effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record ate, which it must do if a meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting of shareholders.

Section 1.05Quorum for Meetings. Except as otherwise required by law or in the Articles of Incorporation, a majority of the shares entitled to be cast on a matter, whether in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting for the transaction of such business. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting, unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting. The subsequent withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum after a quorum has been established at a meeting shall not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by the approval of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares present and entitled to vote at such meeting, even if less than a quorum.

Whenever the holders of any class or series of shares are entitled to vote separately on a specified item of business, the provisions of this Section shall apply in determining the presence of a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such specified item of business.

If neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary shall be present, the appointee of the person presiding at the meeting shall act as secretary of the meeting.

(b) The chairman of the meeting of shareholders shall determine the order of the business and the procedure at such meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as the chairman of the meeting determines, in his or her sole discretion, to be in order. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another place, date and time. The time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the shareholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting.

Section 1.07Judge of Election. The Board may, in advance of any shareholders’ meeting, appoint one or three Judges of Election to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Each Judge of Election, before conducting his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath of office to execute faithfully the duties of Judge of Election with strict impartiality and to the best of his or her ability. If a Judge of Election is not so appointed, the person presiding at the shareholders’ meeting pursuant to Section 1.06 of this Article I may, and on the request of any shareholder entitled to vote thereat shall, make such appointment. In case any person appointed as a Judge of Election fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding at the meeting. No person shall be elected a director at a meeting at which he has served as a Judge of Election.

The Judge of Election shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. If there are three Judges of Election the act of a majority thereof shall govern. On request of the person presiding at the meeting or any shareholder entitled to vote thereat, the Judge of Election shall make a report in writing of the determination as to any challenge, question or matter. Any such report shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated, and shall be filed with the minutes of the meeting.

Section 1.08Voting. Whenever directors are to be elected by the shareholders, they shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the meeting of shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote for such directors.

Whenever any action other than the election of directors is proposed to be taken by vote of the shareholders, except as otherwise expressly required by law, in the Articles of Incorporation or in these Bylaws, it shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the meeting of shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon.

Except as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation, each shareholder of the Corporation entitled to vote on any matter at any meeting of shareholders shall be entitled to one vote for every such share standing in such shareholder’s name on the record date for the meeting.

At any election of directors, the election shall be by ballot and shall be authorized by a plurality of votes cast, and the Judge or Judges of Election or, if none, the secretary of the meeting, shall tabulate the ballots and certify the results of such vote.

Section 1.09Voting by Proxy.At any meeting of shareholders, every shareholder entitled to vote may vote his or her shares in person or by proxy authorized by an appointment form or by an electronic transmission permitted by the Florida Business Corporation Act (“FBCA”) filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this Section 1.09 may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and for all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. Every proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or his or her delegate. An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless the appointment form or electronic transmission conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest, notwithstanding any other agreement or any provision in the proxy to the contrary, but the revocation of a proxy shall not be effective until written notice thereof has been given to the Secretary of the Corporation. A proxy shall not be revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker, unless written notice of the death or incapacity is received by the Secretary of the Corporation before the proxy exercises his or her authority under the appointment. No proxy shall be valid after 11 months after its date, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make, at least 10 days before each meeting of the shareholder, a complete alphabetical list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, with their addresses and the number of shares held by each shareholder, which list shall be maintained in written or electronic form and shall be kept on file either at the Corporation’s principal office or at the place specified in the notice of the meeting and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder for any purpose germane to the meeting during the usual business hours for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting.

Section 1.11Shareholder Proposals

(a) Relating to Nominations for and Election of Directors:

(1) A shareholder may nominate one or more candidates for election as a director at any meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected.

Section 1.11(a) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations before a meeting of shareholders.

(2) A nomination by a shareholder shall be preceded by a notice in writing, delivered in person or by first class United States mail postage prepaid or by reputable overnight delivery service, to the Board to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal office of the Corporation, within the time limits specified in this Section 1.11(a). In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described in Sections 1.11(a)(3) and (4).

(3) In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, any such written nomination must be received by the Secretary of the Corporation not less than 90 calendar days nor more than 120 calendar days before the first anniversary of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy statement to shareholders for the annual meeting of shareholders in the immediately preceding year; provided, however, that in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders that is called for a date that is not within 30 calendar days before or after the first anniversary date of the Annual Meeting in the immediately preceding year, any such written proposal of nomination must be received by the Board within 5 business days after the earlier of the date the Corporation shall have mailed notice to its shareholders, issued a press release, filed a periodic report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or otherwise publicly disseminated notice that an annual meeting of shareholders will be held.

(4) Such written nomination shall set forth: (A) the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and, if any, the beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made (collectively, the “Nominating Shareholder”), (B) as to the Nominating Shareholder, (i) the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially by it within the meaning of SEC Rule 13d-3, (ii) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such Nominating Shareholder has a right to vote any shares of any security of the Corporation, and (iii) any performance-related fees that such Nominating Shareholder is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of the Nominating Shareholder’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information shall be supplemented by the Nominating Shareholder not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date), and (iv) any other information relating to the Nominating Shareholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of

1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (C) as to each proposed nominee, (i) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected), (ii) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years and any other material relationships between or among such Nominating Shareholder and its affiliates and associates or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act, as if the Nominating Shareholder or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant; and (iii) a completed and signed questionnaire (which will be provided by the Secretary upon written request) with respect to the background and qualifications of such proposed nominee. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable shareholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

(5) If a written nomination submitted to the Secretary of the Corporation fails, in the reasonable judgment of the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, to contain the information specified in subsection (4) above or is otherwise deficient, the Secretary shall, as promptly as is practicable under the circumstances, provide written notice to the Nominating Shareholder of such failure or deficiency in the written nomination and such Nominating Shareholder shall have 5 business days from receipt of such notice to submit a revised written proposal of nomination that corrects such failure or deficiency in all material respects.

(6) Nominations by a shareholder of candidates for election to the Board by shareholders may be made only if the shareholder complies with the procedures of this Section 1.11(a), and any candidate proposed by a shareholder not nominated in accordance with such provisions shall not be considered or acted upon for election as a director at such meeting of shareholders.

(b) Relating to Matters Other Than Nominations for and Elections of Directors:

(1) A shareholder of the Corporation may only bring a matter (other than a nomination of a candidate for election as a director, which is covered by subsection (a) of this Section 1.11) (a “Shareholder Matter”) before an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation who (i) is a shareholder of record both at the time of giving notice provided for in these Bylaws and at the time of the annual or special meeting, as applicable, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.11(b).

(3) Such notice of presentation of a Shareholder Matter shall set forth, with respect to the shareholder who intends to propose the Shareholder Matter (the “Proposing Shareholder”), the same information required of the Nominating Shareholder in Sections 1.11(a)(4)(A) and (B). In addition, such notice shall set forth (A) reasonably detailed description of the Shareholder Matter, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of the Proposing Shareholder, if any, in such Shareholder Matter, and (B) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings entered into between such Proposing Shareholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of the Shareholder Matter by such Proposing Shareholder.

(4) If a written notice of presentation of a matter submitted to the Board fails, in the reasonable judgment of the Board, to contain the information specified in subsection (3) above hereof or is otherwise deficient, the Secretary of the Corporation shall, as promptly as is practicable under the circumstances, provide written notice to the shareholder who submitted the written notice of presentation of a Shareholder Matter of such failure or deficiency in the written notice of presentation of a matter and such shareholder shall have 5 business days from receipt of such notice to submit a revised written notice of presentation of a Shareholder Matter that corrects such failure or deficiency in all material respects.

(5) Only Shareholder Matters submitted in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11(b) shall be eligible for presentation at such meeting of shareholders, and any Shareholder Matter not submitted to the Board in accordance with such provisions shall not be considered or acted upon at such meeting of shareholders.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1.11(a) and (b), a Nominating Shareholder or Proposing Shareholder, as the case may be, also shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.11; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to, and shall not, limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Sections 1.11(a) or (b). Nothing in this Section 1.11 shall be deemed to affect any rights (1) of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (2) of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation if and to the extent provided for under law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation or these Bylaws.

Section 4.01Certificated or Uncertificated Shares

(a) Shares of any or all of the Corporation’s classes’ or series of capital stock may be evidenced by certificates for shares of stock, in such form as the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe, or may be issued in uncertificated form. The issuance of shares in uncertificated form shall not affect shares already represented by a certificate until the certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Except as expressly provided by law, there shall be no differences in the rights and obligations of shareholders based on whether or not their shares are represented by certificates.

(b) Each certificate for shares of the Corporation’s capital stock shall be numbered and registered in a share register as it is issued, shall bear the name of the Corporation and that the Corporation is organized under the laws of the State of Florida, the name of the person to whom the certificate is issued and the number and class of shares represented thereby and the designation of the series, if any, the certificate represents, shall be signed by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or President or any Vice President of the Corporation and shall be countersigned by the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer of the Corporation or any other person authorized by the Board of Directors and shall bear the seal of the Corporation, which seal may be a facsimile, engraved or printed. The Board of Directors may appoint one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars with respect to the certificates representing shares of stock of the Corporation, and may require all such certificates to bear the signature of either or both. Where the certificate is signed by a transfer agent or a registrar, the signature of any corporate officer on such certificate

may be a facsimile engraved or printed. In case any officer who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed on, any share certificate shall have ceased to be such officer because of death, resignation or otherwise before the certificate is issued, the certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if the officer has not ceased to be such at the date of its issue.

(c) Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on stock certificates pursuant to the FBCA.

Section 4.02Transfers.Transfers of shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be made only on the stock record of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by his attorney thereunder authorized by the power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or the transfer agent thereof, and (i) in the case of certificated shares, only on surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares, properly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed stock transfer power, or (ii) in the case of uncertificated shares, upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of such uncertificated shares, or from a duly authorized attorney or from an individual presenting proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer the shares. The Board of Directors may make such additional rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue and transfer of certificates representing shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

Section 4.03Lost Certificates.Should any shareholder of the Corporation allege the loss, theft or destruction of one or more certificates for shares of the Corporation and request the issuance by the Corporation of a substitute certificate or uncertificated shares therefore, the Board of Directors may direct that a new certificate of the same tenor and for the same number of shares or uncertificated shares be issued to such person upon such person’s making of an affidavit in form satisfactory to the Board of Directors setting forth the facts in connection therewith, provided that, prior to the receipt of such request, the Corporation shall not have either registered a transfer of such certificate or received notice that such certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser. When authorizing such issuance of a new certificate or uncertificated shares, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition, precedent to the issuance of such certificate or uncertificated shares, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his heirs or legal representatives, as the case may be, to advertise the same in such manner as the Board of Directors shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such form and for such sum and with such surety or sureties, with fixed or open penalty, as shall be satisfactory to the Board of Directors, as indemnity for any liability or expense that it may incur by reason of the original certificate remaining outstanding.

If the notice is

sent by mail to a shareholder, it shall be effective upon deposit into the United States mail, if mailed postpaid and correctly addressed to the shareholder’s address shown in the Corporation’s current record of shareholders. Such notice shall specify the date, time and place of the meeting, if any, and, in the case of a special meeting of the shareholders, a description of business to be transacted.

Section 5.02Exception to Requirement for Notice. Notices or other communications shall not be sent, unless otherwise directed by the Board, to any shareholder with whom the Corporation has been unable to communicate for more than 24 consecutive months because communications to the shareholder are returned unclaimed or the shareholder has otherwise failed to provide the Corporation with a current address. Whenever the shareholder provides the Corporation with a current address, the Corporation shall commence sending notices and other communications to the shareholder in the same manner as to other shareholders.

Section 5.03Waiver of Notice.

(a) Meetings of the Board of Directors. Notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof need not be given to any director who signs a waiver of notice either before or after the meeting.

The waiver must be in writing, be signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice and be delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. A shareholder’s attendance at a meeting: (i) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and (ii) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purposes described in the meeting notice unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, investigation or proceeding, whether derivative or nonderivative, and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, brought or threatened to be brought against him or her by reason or his or her performance or status as a director or officer of the Corporation, any of its subsidiaries or any other entity in which he or she was serving at the request of the Corporation or in any other capacity on behalf of the Corporation, its parent or any of its subsidiaries if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such officer or director shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

The Board of Directors by resolution adopted in each specific instance may similarly indemnify any person other than a director or officer of the Corporation for liabilities incurred by him in connection with services rendered by him or her for or at the request of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

The provisions of this Section 7.01 shall be applicable to all actions, suits, investigations or proceedings commenced after its adoption, whether such arise out of acts or omissions which occurred prior or subsequent to such adoption and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer or to render services for or at the request of the Corporation, whether or not the action, suit, investigation or proceeding first arose after such person ceased to be a director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The rights of indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed the exclusive rights to which any such director, officer or other person may be entitled.

Section 7.02Authorization and Determination of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VII unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer or other person is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct as specified in Section 7.01. A person shall be deemed to have met such applicable standard of conduct if his or her action is based in good faith on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him or her by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of his or her duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise.

Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by

the Board of Directors consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (iii) by independent legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors prescribed in paragraph (i) or the committee prescribed in paragraph (ii) hereof or, if a quorum of the directors cannot be obtained for paragraph (i) and the committee cannot be designated under paragraph (ii), selected by majority vote of the full board of directors in which directors who are parties may participate or (iv) by the shareholders. To the extent, however, that a director, officer or other person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

The provisions of this Section 7.02 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met such applicable standard or conduct.

Section 7.03Advances. Expenses incurred in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer or other person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VII.

Section 7.04Scope and Alteration of Indemnification Provisions. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections of this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw, indemnity or other agreement, contract, vote of the shareholders or disinterested directors or pursuant to the direction, howsoever embodied, of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, the persons specified in Section 7.01 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by the FBCA.

To this end, the provisions of this Article VII shall be deemed to have been amended for the benefit of such persons effective immediately upon any modification of the FBCA that expands or enlarges the power or obligation or corporations organized under such law to indemnify, or advance expenses to, such persons. The provisions of this Article VII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of, or advancement of expenses to, any person who is not specified in this Section 7.04 or Section 7.01 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify, or to advance expenses for, under the provisions of the FBCA.

Section 7.06Definitions.For purposes of this Article VII, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation, including any constitution of a constituent, absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence has continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

The term “another enterprise” as used in this Article VII shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent and shall include employee benefit plans.

Section 7.07Nature of Rights to Indemnification. The rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred upon directors and officers of the Corporation in this Article VII shall be contract rights.
