          (b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to demand a special meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date to determine the stockholders entitled to make such a demand (the“Demand Record Date”).

Any stockholder of record seeking to have stockholders demand a special meeting shall, by sending written notice to the Secretary by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, request the Board of Directors to fix a Demand Record Date. The Board of Directors shall, within ten (10) days after the date on which a valid request to fix a Demand Record Date is received by the Secretary, adopt a resolution fixing the Demand Record Date and shall make a public announcement of such Demand Record Date.

To be valid, such written request shall (i) set forth the purpose for which the special meeting is to be held (including the text of any resolutions to be proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these Amended and Restated By-Laws, the language of the proposed amendment), (ii) be signed by one (1) or more stockholders of record (or their duly authorized proxies or other representatives), (iii) bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or proxy or other representative), and (iv) include all information that would be required to be delivered pursuant toSection 2.5 orSection 2.6, as applicable, as if the stockholder had been making a nomination or proposing business to be considered at a meeting of stockholders.

To be valid, each written demand shall (i) set forth the specific purpose for which the special meeting is to be held (which purpose shall be limited to the purpose set forth in the written request to set a Demand Record Date received by the Corporation pursuant to paragraph (b) of thisSection 2.3), (ii) be signed by one (1) or more persons who as of the Demand Record Date are stockholders of record (or their duly authorized proxies or other representatives), (iii) bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or proxy or other representative), and (iv) set forth the name and address of each stockholder signing such demand or on whose behalf such demand has been signed and the class or series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned of record by each such stockholder,provided, that, if any stockholder signing the demand or on whose behalf such demand has been signed owns, beneficially or of record, shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing at least five percent (5%) of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on each issue proposed to be considered at the special meeting, each such stockholder shall also include all information that would be required to be delivered pursuant toSection 2.5 orSection 2.6, as applicable, as if the stockholder had been making a nomination or proposing business to be considered at a meeting of stockholders. To be valid, a stockholder demand must be made in a writing sent to the attention of the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, and must be received by the Secretary not earlier than the close of business on the Demand Record Date and not later than the close of business on the seventieth (70^th) day following the Demand Record Date.

In the case of any special meeting called by the Secretary upon the demand of stockholders (a“Demand Special Meeting”), such meeting shall be held at such date and at such time as shall be designated by the Board of Directors;provided,however, that the date of any Demand Special Meeting shall be not more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days after the record date for the Demand Special Meeting established pursuant toSection 6.4; andprovided,further, that, subject toSection 2.3(e), in the event that the Board of Directors shall fail to designate a date and time for a Demand Special Meeting within ten (10) days after the date that a valid written demand for such meeting by the stockholders holding of record as of the Demand Record Date at least twenty-five percent of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on each issue proposed to be considered at the special meeting is received by the Corporation (the“Delivery Date”), then such

meeting shall be held at 2:00 p.m. (local time) on the one hundredth (100^th) day after the Delivery Date or, if such one hundredth (100^th) day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day.

          (e) The Corporation may, within ten (10) days of the Delivery Date, engage independent inspectors of election to act as agents of the Corporation for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of any purported written demand or demands for a special meeting received by the Secretary. In the event the Corporation engages an independent inspector of election, the Board of Directors shall, within ten (10) days after the date on which the independent inspectors certify to the Corporation that the demand or demands received by the Secretary are valid and represent at least twenty-five percent of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on each issue proposed to be considered at the special meeting (the“Certification Date”), designate a date and time for a Demand Special Meeting;provided,however, that the date of any Demand Special Meeting shall be not more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days after the Demand Special Meeting record date established pursuant toSection 6.4; andprovided,further, that, in the event that the Board of Directors shall fail to designate a date and time for a Demand Special Meeting within ten (10) days after the Certification Date, then such meeting shall be held at 2:00 p.m. (local time) on the one hundredth (100^th) day after the Certification Date or, if such one hundredth (100^th) day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall in any way be construed to limit the ability of the Board of Directors or any stockholder to contest the validity of any demand, whether during or after the period described above, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any legal proceeding with respect thereto).

     Section 2.10Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place (or by the same or other means of remote communication, if any), and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken;provided, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for voting at the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting as of the record date for notice of such adjourned meeting fixed by the Board of Directors. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

     Section 2.11Classes or Series of Stock; Voting; Proxies.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided by statute or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and these Amended and Restated By-Laws, each stockholder of the Corporation shall be entitled at each meeting of stockholders to one (1) vote for each share of capital stock of the Corporation which has voting power upon the matter in question and which is standing in such stockholder’s name on the record of stockholders of the

Corporation on the record date for voting at such meeting determined in accordance with the provisions ofSection 6.4. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. 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 which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or if filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation.

          (b) Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and need not be conducted by inspectors unless required by law.

          (c) Except as provided inSection 3.3, directors shall be elected by a “majority of votes cast” (as defined herein) at the annual meeting of stockholders, to hold office as provided by Article FIFTH of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, unless the election is contested, in which case directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes cast.

          (b)Advancement of Expenses.

               (i) If (X) a claim underSection 7.4(a)(i) with respect to any right to indemnification is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written demand has been received by the Corporation or (Y) a claim underSection 7.4(b)(i) with respect to any right to the advancement of expenses is not paid in full by the Corporation within twenty (20) days after a written demand has been received by the Corporation, then the person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses, as the case may be, may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim.

               (ii) If successful in whole or in part in any suit brought pursuant toSection 7.4(e)(i), or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to the terms of an undertaking or otherwise), the person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or an advancement of expenses hereunder or the person from whom the Corporation sought to recover an advancement of expenses, as the case may be, shall be entitled to be paid by the Corporation the reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of prosecuting or defending such suit.

               (iii) In any suit brought by a person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not a suit brought by a person seeking to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses hereunder), it shall be a defense that the person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification has not met any applicable standard for indemnification under applicable law. With respect to any suit brought by a person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or right to advancement of expenses hereunder or any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to the terms of an undertaking or otherwise), neither (A) the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to commencement of such suit that indemnification of such person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standards of conduct under applicable law, nor (B) an actual determination by the Corporation that such person has not met such applicable standards of conduct, shall create a presumption that such person has not met the applicable standards of conduct or, in a case brought by such person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification, be a defense to such suit.

               (iv) In any suit brought by a person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to the terms of an undertaking or otherwise), the burden shall be on the Corporation to prove that the person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses or the person from whom the Corporation seeks to recover an advancement of expenses is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such an advancement of expenses, under thisSection 7.4 or otherwise.

          (f)Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. Any indemnification required or permitted under thisSection 7.4 (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 present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met all applicable standards of conduct set forth in thisSection 7.4 and

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer of the Corporation at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum; (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum; (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to any person who is not a director or officer of the Corporation at the time of such determination, in the manner determined by the Board of Directors (including in such manner as may be set forth in any general or specific action of the Board of Directors applicable to indemnification claims by such person) or in the manner set forth in any agreement to which such person and the Corporation are parties.

          (g)Non-Exclusive Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided in thisSection 7.4 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be such director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person.

          (h)Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of Another Enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of thisSection 7.4 or otherwise.

          (i)Severability. If any provision or provisions of thisSection 7.4 shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (A) the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of thisSection 7.4 (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (B) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of thisSection 7.4 (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.

          (j)Miscellaneous. For purposes of thisSection 7.4: (i) references to serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of Another Enterprise shall include any service as a director or officer of the Corporation that imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan; (ii) references to serving at the request of the Corporation as a employee or agent of Another Enterprise shall include any service as an employee or agent of the Corporation that imposes duties on, or involves services by, such employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan; (iii) a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; and (iv) references to a director of Another Enterprise shall include, in the case of any entity that is not managed by a board of directors, such other position, such as manager or trustee or member of the governing body of such entity, that entails responsibility for the management and direction of such entity’s affairs, including, without limitation, general partner of any partnership (general or limited) and manager or managing member of any limited liability company.

     Section 7.5Form of Records. Any records maintained by the Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account and minute books, may be kept on, or be in the form of computer disks, punch cards, magnetic tape, photographs, microphotographs or any other information storage device, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible form within a reasonable time. The Corporation shall so convert any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect the same.

     Section 7.6Dividends. Subject to the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and these Amended and Restated By-Laws, the Board of Directors may, out of funds legally available therefor at any regular

or special meeting, declare dividends upon the capital stock of the Corporation as and when they deem expedient. Before declaring any dividend, the Board of Directors may cause to be set apart out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time in their discretion deem proper for working capital or as a reserve fund to meet contingencies or for equalizing dividends or for such other purposes as the directors shall deem conducive to the interests of the Corporation.

     Section 7.7Checks. All checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the Corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents of the Corporation, and in such manner as shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.
