(A Delaware Corporation) (the “Corporation” or the “corporation”)

ARTICLE I.

Stockholders

Section 1.1. Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at the place, if any, within or without the State of Delaware, on the date and at the time that the board of directors shall each year fix. Unless stated otherwise in the notice of the annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, such annual meeting shall be at the principal office of the corporation.

Section 1.2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer or by the board of directors. Special meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such time, date and place, if any, within or outside of the State of Delaware as may be designated in the notice of such meeting. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of meeting.

Section 1.3. Notice of Meeting. A written notice stating the place, if any (or the means of remote communication by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person) date, and hour of each meeting of the stockholders, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered personally or mailed in a postage prepaid envelope or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law, by any form of electronic transmission (with the consent of the stockholder to the extent required by applicable law), not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of such meeting, to each person who appears on the stock books and records of the Corporation as a stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and to each stockholder who under the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws is entitled to such notice. Notices are deemed given (i) if by mail, when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, or, if a stockholder shall have filed with the secretary a written request that notices to such stockholder be mailed to some other address, then directed to such stockholder at such other address; (ii) if by facsimile, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive such notice; (iv) if by posting on an electronic network together with a separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later to occur of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice of such posting; and (v) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder as required by law and, to the extent required by applicable law, in the manner consented to by the stockholder. An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any stockholders’ meeting, executed by the secretary, assistant corporate secretary or any transfer agent of the Corporation giving the notice, shall be prima facie evidence of the giving of such notice or report. Notice shall be deemed to have been given to all stockholders of record who share an address if notice is given in accordance with the “householding” rules set forth in Rule 14a-3(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 233 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The requirement of notice to any stockholder may be waived by a written waiver of notice, executed before or after the meeting by the stockholder or his attorney thereunto duly authorized, and filed with the records of the meeting, or if communication with such stockholder is unlawful, or by attendance at the meeting without protesting prior thereto or at its commencement the lack of notice. A waiver of notice of any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need not specify the

purposes of the meeting. If a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, except that if the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 1.4. Quorum. The holders of a majority in interest of all stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting shall constitute a quorum. Any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes properly cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present.

Section 1.5. Voting and Proxies. Stockholders shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote owned by them of record according to the books of the corporation, unless otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation. Stockholders may vote either in person or by written proxy, but no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Proxies shall be filed with the secretary of the meeting, or of any adjournment thereof. Except as otherwise limited therein, proxies shall entitle the persons authorized thereby to vote at any adjournment of such meeting. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a stockholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by one of them unless at or prior to exercise of the proxy the corporation receives a specific written notice to the contrary from any one of them.

Section 1.6. Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, a plurality of the votes properly cast for election to any office shall elect to such office, and a majority of the votes properly cast upon any question other than election to an office shall decide such question, except where a larger vote is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By- Laws. No ballot shall be required for any election unless requested by a stockholder present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election.

Section 1.7. Action Without Meeting. No action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken by stockholders without a meeting, and the power of stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.

Section 1.8. Voting of Shares of Certain Holders. Shares of stock of the corporation standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent, or proxy as the By-Laws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine.

Shares of stock of the corporation standing in the name of a deceased person, a minor ward or an incompetent person, may be voted by his administrator, executor, court-appointed guardian or conservator without a transfer of such shares into the name of such administrator, executor, court appointed guardian or conservator. Shares of capital stock of the corporation standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him. Shares of stock of the corporation standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his name if authority so to do be contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed. A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred. Shares of its own stock belonging to this corporation shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time, but shares of its own stock held by the corporation in a fiduciary capacity may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares.

-2-

Section 1.9. Stockholder Lists. The secretary (or the corporation’s transfer agent or other person authorized by these By-Laws or by law) shall prepare and make, at least ten 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. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also 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.

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 the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The board of directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting 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 person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and to adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, 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 presiding person 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 presiding person of the meeting shall determine; (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 presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the board of directors or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected (i) by or at the direction of the board of directors or (ii) provided that the board of directors has determined that the special meeting of stockholders is being called in accordance with Section 1.2 for the purpose of electing directors, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (1) is a stockholder of record both at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.4(b) and at the time of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (3) complies with the provisions of this Section 2.4(b). For nominations or other business to be properly brought before a special meeting of stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(ii) above, the stockholder’s notice shall contain all of the information required by Section 2.4(a)(2) and (3), as updated consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 1.3(a)(4), and be received by the secretary of the Corporation 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 scheduled date for such special meeting of stockholders and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the scheduled date of such special meeting of stockholders or the tenth (10th) day following the day of the Public Announcement of the date of such meeting and of the nominees proposed by the board of directors to be elected at the special meeting of stockholders is first made. The announcement of a postponement of a special meeting of stockholders after notice of the meeting has been given or an adjournment of a special meeting of stockholders shall not commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Section 2.4(b).

(c) Inclusion of Proxy Access Nominee in Proxy Statement.

(1) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.4(c), if expressly requested in the relevant Nomination Notice (as defined below), the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement for any annual meeting of stockholders (but not at any special meeting of stockholders):

-10-

(A) the name of any person nominated for election (the “Proxy Access Nominee”), which shall also be included on the Corporation’s form of proxy and ballot, by any Nominating Person (as defined below);

(B) disclosure about the Proxy Access Nominee and the Nominating Person required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other applicable law to be included in the proxy statement;

(C) any statement included by the Nominating Person in the Nomination Notice for inclusion in the proxy statement in support of the Proxy Access Nominee’s election to the board of directors (subject, without limitation, to Section 2.4(c)(5)(B)) if such statement does not exceed 500 words; and

(D) any other information that the Corporation or the board of directors determines, in their discretion, to include in the proxy statement relating to the nomination of the Proxy Access Nominee, including, without limitation, (i) any statement in opposition to the nomination, (ii) any of the information provided pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) and (iii) any solicitation materials or related information with respect to the Proxy Access Nominee.

For purposes of this Section 2.4(c), any determination to be made by the board of directors may be made by the board of directors, a committee of the board any officer of the Corporation designated by the board of directors or a committee of the board and any such determination shall be final and binding on the Corporation, any Nominating Person, any Eligible Holder, any Proxy Access Nominee and any other person so long as made in good faith (without any further requirements).

(2) Maximum Number of Proxy Access Nominees.

(A) The Corporation shall not be required to include in the proxy statement for an annual meeting of stockholders more Proxy Access Nominees than that number of directors constituting the greater of (i) two (2) or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the total number of directors of the Corporation on the last day on which a Nomination Notice may be submitted pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) (rounded down to the nearest whole number) (the “Maximum Number”). In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the board of directors after the deadline set forth in Section 2.4(c)(4) below but before the date of the annual meeting, and the board of directors resolves to reduce the size of the board in connection therewith, the Maximum Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced. The Maximum Number for a particular annual meeting shall be reduced by (i) Proxy Access Nominees who are subsequently withdrawn, (ii) Proxy Access Nominees that the board of directors itself decides to nominate for election at such annual meeting and (iii) the number of incumbent directors of the Corporation who had been Proxy Access Nominees with respect to any of the preceding two annual meetings of stockholders and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting is being recommended by the board of directors.

-11-

(B) If the number of Proxy Access Nominees pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) for any annual meeting of stockholders exceeds the Maximum Number then, promptly upon notice from the Corporation, each Nominating Person will select one Proxy Access Nominee for inclusion in the proxy statement until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of the ownership position as disclosed in each Nominating Person’s Nomination Notice, with the process repeated if the Maximum Number is not reached after each Nominating Person has selected one Proxy Access Nominee. If, after the deadline for submitting a Nomination Notice as set forth in Section 2.4(c)(4), a Nominating Person becomes ineligible or withdraws its nomination or a Proxy Access Nominee becomes unwilling to serve on the board of directors, whether before or after the mailing of the proxy statement, then the nomination shall be disregarded, and the Corporation (i) shall not be required to include in its proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy the disregarded Proxy Access Nominee or any successor or replacement nominee proposed by the Nominating Person or by any other Nominating Person and (ii) may otherwise communicate to its stockholders, including without limitation by amending or supplementing its proxy statement or ballot or form of proxy, that the Proxy Access Nominee will not be included as a Proxy Access Nominee in the proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy and will not be voted on at the annual meeting.

(3) Eligibility of Nominating Person.

(A) An “Eligible Holder” is a person who has either (i) been a record holder of the shares of stock used to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section 2.4(c)(3) continuously for the three-year period specified in Section 2.4(c)(3)(B) below or (ii) provides to a Secretary of the Corporation, within the time period referred to in Section 2.4(c)(4), evidence of continuous ownership of such shares for such three-year period from one or more securities intermediaries in a form that the board of directors determines would be deemed acceptable for purposes of a shareholder proposal under Rule 14a-8(b)(2) under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule).

(B) An Eligible Holder or group of up to twenty (20) Eligible Holders may submit a nomination in accordance with this Section 2.4(c) only if the person or group (in the aggregate) has continuously owned at least the Minimum Number (as defined below) of shares of the Corporation’s stock throughout the three (3) year period preceding and including the date of submission of the Nomination Notice, and continues to own at least the Minimum Number through the date of the annual meeting. Each Eligible Holder or group of up to twenty (20) Eligible Holders that submits a nomination in accordance with this Section 2.4(c) and has satisfied, as determined by the board of directors, all applicable conditions and complied with all applicable procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(c) is a “Nominating Person”. A group of funds that are (i) under common

-12-

management and investment control, (ii) under common management and funded primarily by a single employer or (iii) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, shall be treated as one Eligible Holder if such Eligible Holder shall provide together with the Nomination Notice documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that demonstrates that the funds meet the criteria set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.4(c)(3)(B). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a nomination by a Nominating Person that includes more than one Eligible Holder, any and all requirements and obligations for an individual Eligible Holder that are set forth in this Section 2.4(c), including the minimum holding period, shall apply to each individual Eligible Holder comprising the Nominating Person; provided, however, that the Minimum Number shall apply to the ownership of the Nominating Person in the aggregate. Should any Eligible Holder withdraw from a group of Eligible Holders constituting a Nominating Person at any time prior to the annual meeting of stockholders, the Nominating Person shall only be deemed to own the shares held by the remaining Eligible Holders. As used in this Section 2.4(c), any reference to a “group” or “group of Eligible Holders” refers to any Nominating Person that consists of more than one Eligible Holder and to all the Eligible Holders that make up such Nominating Person.

(C) The “Minimum Number” of shares of the Corporation’s stock means three percent (3%) of the number of outstanding shares of stock as of the most recent date for which such amount is given in any filing by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the submission of the Nomination Notice.

(D) For purposes of this Section 2.4(c), an Eligible Holder “owns” only those outstanding shares of the Corporation as to which the Eligible Holder possesses both (i) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (ii) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) shall not include any shares (A) sold by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (B) purchased by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates but the purchase has not yet been settled or closed, (C) borrowed by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates for any purpose or purchased by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell or subject to any other obligation to resell to another person, or (D) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of the Corporation, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (x) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such Eligible Holder’s or any of its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (y) hedging, offsetting, or altering to any degree, gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates.

-13-

An Eligible Holder “owns” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the Eligible Holder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. An Eligible Holder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the Eligible Holder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other similar instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the Eligible Holder. An Eligible Holder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the Eligible Holder has loaned such shares provided that the Eligible Holder has the power to recall such loaned shares within a reasonable period of time and will recall such loaned shares as of the date of the annual meeting. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings. Whether outstanding shares of the Corporation are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the board of directors.

(E) No Eligible Holder shall be permitted to be a part of more than one group of Eligible Holders constituting a Nominating Person, and if any Eligible Holder appears as a member of more than one group, such Eligible Holder shall be deemed to be a member of the group of Eligible Holders that has the largest ownership position as reflected in the Nomination Notice.

(4) Nomination Notice.

To nominate a Proxy Access Nominee, the Nominating Person must, no later than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and fiftieth (150th) day prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders, submit to the secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation all of the following information and documents (collectively, the “Nomination Notice”); provided, however, that in the event the annual meeting of stockholders is held more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, or if no annual meeting of stockholders was held in the preceding year, to be timely, the Nomination Notice shall be given in the manner provided herein not later than the close of business on the later of the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to the scheduled date of such annual meeting of stockholders or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which Public Announcement of the date of such meeting is first made:

If the board of directors or a designated committee thereof or the person presiding over the meeting, as applicable, determines that nomination or other stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the provisions of these By-Laws, such nomination or other stockholder proposal shall be disregarded and shall not be presented for action at the annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting of stockholders.

Section 2.5. Election and Term of Office.

(a) Commencing at the annual meeting of the stockholders in 1995, the directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one third of the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. At the annual meeting of the stockholders held in 1995, Class I directors shall be elected for a one year term, Class II directors shall be elected for a two year term, and Class III directors shall be elected for a three year term, and in each case until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Commencing in 1996, at each annual meeting of the stockholders, successors to the class of directors whose terms expire at that annual meeting of stockholders shall be elected by stockholders for a three year term and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. If the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors shall be changed, the increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible.

(b) Any director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in any class or from the removal from office, death, disability, resignation or disqualification of a director or other cause shall hold office for the remaining term of the class to which such director is elected. No decrease in the size of the Board of Directors shall have the effect of removing or shortening the term of any incumbent director.

(c) Whenever the holders of any series of preferred stock issued pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall have the right, voting as a separate class, to elect directors, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other terms of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation applicable to such series, as the case may be, and such directorships shall not be divided into classes unless expressly so provided therein.

Section 2.6. Vacancies. Any vacancy in the board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from the enlargement of the board of directors, may be filled in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation.

Section 2.7. Enlargement of the Board. The board of directors may be enlarged in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation.

Section 2.8. Resignation. Any director may resign by delivering or mailing postage prepaid a written resignation to the corporation at its principal office or to the chairman of the board of directors, chief executive officer, secretary or assistant secretary, if any. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event.

Section 2.9. Removal. A director, whether elected by the stockholders or directors, may be removed from office in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation.

Section 2.10. Meetings. Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without call or notice at such times and such places within or without the State of Delaware as the Board may, from time to time, determine, provided that notice of the first regular meeting following any such determination shall be given to directors absent from such determination. A regular meeting of the board of directors shall be held without notice immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of the stockholders or the special meeting of the stockholders held in place of such annual meeting, unless a quorum of the directors is not then present. Special meetings of the board of directors may be held at any time and at any

-22-

place designated in the call of the meeting when called by the chairman of the board, or one or more directors. Members of the board of directors or any committee elected thereby may participate in a meeting of such board or committee by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time, and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

Section 2.11. Notice of Meeting.

Notice shall be given by the secretary, assistant secretary, if any, or by the officer or directors calling the meeting. The requirement of notice to any director may be waived by a written waiver of notice, executed by such person before or after the meeting or meetings, and filed with the records of the meeting, or by attendance at the meeting without protesting prior thereto or at its commencement the lack of notice.

Members of the Board may participate in any meeting of the Board by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in any meeting pursuant to this provision shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. The assent in writing or by electronic transmission of any director to any vote or action of the directors taken at any meeting, whether or not a quorum was present and whether or not the director had or waived notice of the meeting, shall have the same effect as if the director so assenting was present at such meeting and voted in favor of such vote or action.

Section 2.15. Action Without Meeting. Any action by the directors may be taken without a meeting if all of the directors consent to the action in writing or by electronic transmission, and the consents in writing or by electronic transmission are subsequently filed with the records of the directors’ meetings. Such filing shall be in paper form if the records are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the records are maintained in electronic form. Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote of the directors at a meeting.

Section 2.16. Committees. The board of directors may, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, appoint an executive committee or other committees consisting of one or more directors and may by vote delegate to any such committee some or all of their powers except those which by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws they may not delegate. Unless the board of directors shall otherwise provide, any such committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the board of directors or such rules, its meetings shall be called, notice given or waived, its business conducted or its action taken as nearly as may be in the same manner as is provided in these By-Laws with respect to meetings or for the conduct of business or the taking of actions by the board of directors. The board of directors shall have power at any time to fill vacancies in, change the membership of, or discharge any such committee at any time.

Each stockholder shall be entitled to a certificate representing the number of shares of the capital stock of the corporation owned by such person in such form as shall, in conformity to law, be prescribed from time to time by the board of directors. Each certificate shall be signed by the chairman of the board of directors, the president or any vice-president and by the secretary, assistant secretary or treasurer or assistant treasurer, or such other officers designated by the board of directors from time to time as permitted by law, shall bear the seal of the corporation, and shall express on its face its number, date of issue, class, the number of shares for which, and the name of the person to whom, it is issued. The corporate seal and any or all of the signatures of corporation officers may be facsimile if the stock certificate is manually counter-signed by an authorized person on behalf of a transfer agent or registrar other than the corporation or its employee.

If an officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed on, a certificate shall have ceased to be such before the certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the time of its issue.

Section 4.2. Transfer of Shares. Title to a certificate of stock and to the shares represented thereby shall be transferred only on the books of the corporation by delivery to the corporation or its transfer agent of the certificate properly endorsed, or by delivery of the certificate accompanied by a written assignment of the same, or a properly executed written power of attorney to sell, assign or transfer the same or the shares represented thereby. Upon surrender of a certificate for the shares being transferred, a new certificate or certificates shall be issued according to the interests of the parties.

Section 4.3. Record Holders. Except as otherwise may be required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws, the corporation shall be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the owner of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right to vote with respect thereto, regardless of any transfer, pledge or other disposition of such stock, until the shares have been transferred on the books of the corporation in accordance with the requirements of these By-Laws.

It shall be the duty of each stockholder to notify the corporation of his post office address.

Section 4.4. Record Date.

Any registrar so appointed shall maintain, among other records, a share register, setting forth the total number of shares of each class of shares which the corporation is authorized to issue and the total number of shares actually issued. The stockholders’ ledger and the share register are hereby identified as the stock transfer books of the corporation; but as between the stockholders’ ledger and the share register, the names and addresses of stockholders, as they appear on the stockholders’ ledger maintained by the transfer agent shall be the official list of stockholders of record of the corporation. The name and address of each stockholder of record, as they appear upon the stockholders’ ledger, shall be conclusive evidence of who are the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meetings of stockholders, to vote at such meetings, to examine a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at meetings, and to own, enjoy and exercise any other property or rights deriving from such shares against the corporation. Stockholders, but not the corporation, its directors, officers, agents or attorneys, shall be responsible for notifying the transfer agent, in writing, of any changes in their names or addresses from time to time, and failure to do so will relieve the corporation, its other stockholders, directors, officers, agents and attorneys, and its transfer agent and registrar, of liability for failure to direct notices or other documents, or pay over or transfer dividends or other property or rights, to a name or address other than the name and address appearing in the stockholders’ ledger maintained by the transfer agent.

Section 4.6. Loss of Certificates. In case of the loss, destruction or mutilation of a certificate of stock, a replacement certificate may be issued in place thereof upon such terms as the board of directors may prescribe, including, in the discretion of the board of directors, a requirement of bond and indemnity to the corporation.

Section 4.7. Restrictions on Transfer. Every certificate for shares of stock which are subject to any restriction on transfer, whether pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, the By- laws or any agreement to which the corporation is a party, shall have the fact of the restriction noted conspicuously on the certificate and shall also set forth on the face or back either the full text of the restriction or a statement that the corporation will furnish a copy to the holder of such certificate upon written request and without charge.

Section 4.8. Multiple Classes of Stock. The amount and classes of the capital stock and the par value, if any, of the shares, shall be as fixed in the Certificate of Incorporation.

Every certificate issued when the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class or series of stock shall set forth on its face or back either (i) the full text of the preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special and relative rights of the shares of each class and series authorized to be issued, or (ii) a statement of the existence of such preferences, powers, qualifications and rights, and a statement that the corporation will furnish a copy thereof to the holder of such certificate upon written request and without charge.

Any director of the corporation who is interested in any transaction as aforesaid may nevertheless be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of the board of directors which shall authorize or ratify any such transaction.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section, if the board of directors, Independent Counsel or the stockholders, as the case may be, making the determination with respect to indemnification as provided under Section 7.9 hereof, or the Court considering the matter determines that the act or omission which forms the basis for the claim which is the subject of the Proceeding violated the corporation’s Code of Conduct then in effect, then, notwithstanding that fact, the corporation may, to the extent authorized by the board of directors, indemnify such Covered Person against all Expenses, judgments, penalties and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by such Covered Person or on such Covered Person’s behalf in connection with such proceeding if such Covered Person acted in Good Faith.

Section 7.5. Indemnification of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, to the extent that a Covered Person is, by reason of such Covered Person’s Corporate Status, a party to or is otherwise involved in and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, such Covered Person shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law, against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by such Covered Person or on such Covered Person’s behalf in connection therewith.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, to the extent that a Covered Person is, by reason of such Covered Person’s Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding, such Covered Person shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such Covered Person or on such Covered Persons behalf in connection therewith.

Section 7.7. Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article, the corporation (acting through the chairman of the board, president, executive vice president or any vice president of the corporation) shall advance all reasonable Expenses which, by reason of a Covered Persons Corporate Status, were incurred by or on behalf of such Covered Person in connection with any Proceeding, within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the corporation of a statement or statements from such Covered Person requesting such advance or advances, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by the Covered Person and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay any Expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not

-32-

entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Any advance and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be unsecured and interest free. Advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall not require approval of the board of directors or the stockholders of the corporation, or of any other person or body. The Secretary of the corporation shall promptly advise the Board in writing of the request for advancement of Expenses, of the amount and other details of the advance and of the undertaking to make repayment pursuant to this Section 7.7.

Section 7.8. Notification and Defense of Claim.

Promptly after receipt by a Covered Person of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, such Covered Person shall, if a claim is to be made against the corporation under this Article, notify the corporation of the commencement of the Proceeding. The omission so to notify the corporation will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Covered Person otherwise than under this Article. With respect to any such Proceedings to which such Covered Person notifies the corporation:

(a) The corporation will be entitled to participate in the defense at its own expense.

(b) Except as otherwise provided below, the corporation jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Covered Person. After notice from the corporation to the Covered Person of its election to assume the defense of a suit, the corporation will not be liable to the Covered Person under this Article for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Covered Person in connection with the defense of the Proceeding other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. The Covered Person shall have the right to employ his own counsel in such Proceeding but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the corporation of its assumption of the defense shall be at the expense of the Covered Person unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Covered Person has been authorized by the corporation, (ii) the Covered Person shall have concluded reasonably that there may be a conflict of interest between the corporation and the Covered Person in the conduct of the defense of such action and such conclusion is confirmed in writing by the corporation’s outside counsel regularly employed by it in connection with corporate matters, or (iii) the corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the corporation. The corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the corporation or as to which the Covered Person shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above and such conclusion shall have been so confirmed by the corporation’s said outside counsel.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article to the contrary, the corporation shall not be liable to indemnify the Covered Person under this Article for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding or claim effected without its written consent. The corporation shall not settle any Proceeding or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty, limitation or disqualification of the Covered Person for any purpose without such Covered Person’s written consent. Neither the corporation nor the Covered Person will unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.

(d) If it is determined that the Covered Person is entitled to indemnification not covered by defense of the claim afforded under subparagraph (b) above, payment to the Covered Person of the additional amounts to be indemnified shall be made within ten (10) days after determination.

-33-

Section 7.9. Method of Determination.

A determination (if required by applicable law in the specific case) with respect to a Covered Person’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors, or (b) in the event that a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Covered Person seeking indemnification, or (c) by the holders of a majority of the votes of the outstanding stock at the time entitled to vote on matters other than the election or removal of directors, voting as a single class, including the stock of the Covered Person seeking indemnification.

Section 7.10. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

(a) Burden of Proof. In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that the Covered Person is entitled to indemnification under this Article if such Covered Person has submitted a request for indemnification including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to such Covered Person and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent such Covered Person is entitled to indemnification and the corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.

(b) Effect of Other Proceedings. The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article) of itself adversely affect the right of a Covered Person to indemnification or create a presumption that a Covered Person violated the corporation’s Code of Conduct or did not act in Good Faith.

(c) Actions of Others. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to a Covered Person for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Article.

Section 7.11. Non-Exclusivity. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a Covered Person may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-Laws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of the board of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration, rescission or replacement of this Article or any provision hereof shall be effective as to a Covered Person with respect to any action taken or omitted by such Covered Person in such Covered Person’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration, rescission or replacement.

Section 7.12. Insurance. The corporation may maintain, at its expense, an insurance policy or policies to protect itself and any Covered Person, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another Enterprise against liability arising out of this Article or otherwise, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify any such person against such liability under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 7.13. No Duplicative Payment. The corporation shall not be liable under this Article to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that a Covered Person has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

-34-

Section 7.14. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever:

(a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Article containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and
