(the "Corporation")
ARTICLE I
STOCKHOLDERS
SECTION 1. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of stockholders (any such
meeting being referred to in these By-laws as an "Annual Meeting") shall be held
at the hour, date and place within or without the United States which is fixed
by the Board of Directors, which time, date and place may subsequently be
changed at any time by vote of the Board of Directors. If no Annual Meeting has
been held for a period of thirteen months after the Corporation's last Annual
Meeting, a special meeting in lieu thereof may be held, and such special meeting
shall have, for the purposes of these By-laws or otherwise, all the force and
effect of an Annual Meeting. Any and all references hereafter in these By-laws
to an Annual Meeting or Annual Meetings also shall be deemed to refer to any
special meeting(s) in lieu thereof.
SECTION 2. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS AND NOMINATIONS.
(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.
(1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors
of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the
stockholders may be made at an Annual Meeting (a) pursuant to the
Corporation's notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a
stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this
By-law, who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who is present (in person
or by proxy) at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set
forth in this By-law. In addition to the other requirements set forth in
this By-law, for any proposal of business to be considered at an Annual
Meeting, it must be a proper subject for action by stockholders of the
Corporation under Delaware law.
(2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before
an Annual Meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph
(a)(1) of this By-law, the stockholder must have given timely notice
thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a
stockholder's notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal
executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business
on
1
<Page>
the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior
to the first anniversary of the preceding year's Annual Meeting; provided,
however, that in the event that the date of the Annual Meeting is advanced
by more than 30 days before or delayed by more than 60 days after such
anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so
delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to
such Annual Meeting and not later than the close of business on the later
of the 90th day prior to such Annual Meeting or the 10th day following the
day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, for the first
Annual Meeting following the initial public offering of common stock of the
Corporation, a stockholder's notice shall be timely if delivered to the
Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later
than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the
scheduled date of such Annual Meeting or the 10th day following the day on
which public announcement of the date of such Annual Meeting is first made
or sent by the Corporation. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (a)
as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or
reelection as a director, all information relating to such person that is
required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of
directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case
pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") (including such person's written consent to
being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a
director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the stockholder
proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business
desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such
business at the meeting, any material interest in such business of such
stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal
is made, and the names and addresses of other stockholders known by the
stockholder proposing such business to support such proposal, and the class
and number of shares of the Corporation's capital stock beneficially owned
by such other stockholders; and (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice
and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or
proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they
appear on the Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner, and (ii)
the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned
beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.
(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph
(a)(2) of this By-law to the contrary, in the event that the number of
directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is
increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees
for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors
made by the Corporation at least 85 days prior to the first anniversary of
the preceding year's Annual Meeting, a stockholder's notice required by
this By-law shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to
nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be
delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following
the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
(b) GENERAL.

<Page>
(1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the
provisions of this By-law shall be eligible for election and to serve as
directors and only such business shall be conducted at an Annual Meeting as
shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the
provisions of this By-law. The Board of Directors or a designated committee
thereof shall have the power to determine whether a nomination or any
business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance
with the provisions of this By-law. If neither the Board of Directors nor
such designated committee makes a determination as to whether any
stockholder proposal or nomination was made in accordance with the
provisions of this By-law, the presiding officer of the Annual Meeting
shall have the power and duty to determine whether the stockholder proposal
or nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of this By-law. If
the Board of Directors or a designated committee thereof or the presiding
officer, as applicable, determines that any stockholder proposal or
nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of this By-law,
such proposal or nomination shall be disregarded and shall not be presented
for action at the Annual Meeting.
(2) For purposes of this By-law, "public announcement" shall mean
disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service,
Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document
publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-law, a
stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the
matters set forth in this By-law. Nothing in this By-law shall be deemed to
affect any rights of (i) stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in
the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange
Act or (ii) the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock to
elect directors under specified circumstances.
SECTION 3. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Except as otherwise required by statute and
subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Undesignated
Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be
called only by the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution approved
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office. Only
those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered
or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation.
SECTION 4. NOTICE OF MEETINGS; ADJOURNMENTS. A notice of each Annual
Meeting stating the hour, date and place, if any, of such Annual Meeting shall
be given not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the
Annual Meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat by delivering such
notice to such stockholder or by mailing it, postage prepaid, addressed to such
stockholder at the address of such stockholder as it appears on the
Corporation's stock transfer books.
3
<Page>
Notice of all special meetings of stockholders shall be given in the same
manner as provided for Annual Meetings, except that the notice of all special
meetings shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting has been
called.
Notice of an Annual Meeting or special meeting of stockholders need not be
given to a stockholder if a waiver of notice is executed before or after such
meeting by such stockholder or if such stockholder attends such meeting, unless
such attendance was for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the
meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully
called or convened.
The Board of Directors may postpone and reschedule any previously scheduled
Annual Meeting or special meeting of stockholders and any record date with
respect thereto, regardless of whether any notice or public disclosure with
respect to any such meeting has been sent or made pursuant to Section 2 of this
Article I of these By-laws or otherwise. In no event shall the public
announcement of an adjournment, postponement or rescheduling of any previously
scheduled meeting of stockholders commence a new time period for the giving of a
stockholder's notice under Section 2 of this Article I of these By-laws.
When any meeting is convened, the presiding officer may adjourn the meeting
if (a) no quorum is present for the transaction of business, (b) the Board of
Directors determines that adjournment is necessary or appropriate to enable the
stockholders to consider fully information which the Board of Directors
determines has not been made sufficiently or timely available to stockholders,
or (c) the Board of Directors determines that adjournment is otherwise in the
best interests of the Corporation. When any Annual Meeting or special meeting of
stockholders is adjourned to another hour, date or place, notice need not be
given of the adjourned meeting other than an announcement at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken of the hour, date and place, if any, to which the
meeting is adjourned and the means of remote communications, if any, by which
stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at
such adjourned meeting; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more
than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the
adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote
communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to
be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting shall be given to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat and each stockholder who, by law
or under the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as the same may
hereafter be amended and/or restated, the "Certificate") or these By-laws, is
entitled to such notice.
SECTION 5. QUORUM. A majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in
person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of
stockholders. If less than a quorum is present at a meeting, the holders of
voting stock representing a majority of the voting power present at the meeting
or the presiding officer may adjourn the meeting from time to time, and the
meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice, except as provided in
Section 5 of this Article I. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is
present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the
meeting as originally noticed. The stockholders present at a duly constituted
meeting may continue to transact business until
4
<Page>
adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less
than a quorum.
SECTION 6. VOTING AND PROXIES. Stockholders shall have one vote for each
share of stock entitled to vote owned by them of record according to the stock
ledger of the Corporation, unless otherwise provided by law or by the
Certificate. Stockholders may vote either (i) in person, (ii) by written proxy
or (iii) by a transmission permitted by Section 212(c) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law ("DGCL"). Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other
reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission permitted by Section 212(c)
of the DGCL may be substituted for or used in lieu of the original writing or
transmission for any and 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. Proxies shall be filed in accordance with the
procedures established for the meeting of stockholders. Except as otherwise
limited therein or as otherwise provided by law, proxies authorizing a person to
vote at a specific meeting shall entitle the persons authorized thereby to vote
at any adjournment of such meeting, but they shall not be valid after final
adjournment of such meeting. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name of
two or more persons shall be valid if executed by or on behalf of any one of
them unless at or prior to the exercise of the proxy the Corporation receives a
specific written notice to the contrary from any one of them.
SECTION 7. ACTION AT MEETING. When a quorum is present at any meeting of
stockholders, any matter before any such meeting (other than an election of a
director or directors) shall be decided by a majority of the votes properly cast
for and against such matter, except where a larger vote is required by law, by
the Certificate or by these By-laws. Any election of directors by stockholders
shall be determined by a plurality of the votes properly cast on the election of
directors. The Corporation shall not directly or indirectly vote any shares of
its own stock; provided, however, that the Corporation may vote shares which it
holds in a fiduciary capacity to the extent permitted by law.
SECTION 8. STOCKHOLDER LISTS. The Secretary or an Assistant Secretary (or
the Corporation's transfer agent or other person authorized by these By-laws or
by law) shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every Annual Meeting or
special 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
a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting in the manner provided
by law. The list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during
the whole time of the meeting as provided by law.
SECTION 9. PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chairman of the Board, if one is elected,
or if not elected or in his or her absence, the President, shall preside at all
Annual Meetings or special meetings of stockholders and shall have the power,
among other things, to adjourn such meeting at any time and from time to time,
subject to Sections 5 and 6 of this Article I. The order of
5
<Page>
business and all other matters of procedure at any meeting of the stockholders
shall be determined by the presiding officer.
SECTION 10. INSPECTORS OF ELECTIONS. The Corporation shall, in advance of
any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the
meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or
more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act.
If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the
presiding officer shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.
Any inspector may, but need not, be an officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her
duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of
inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her
ability. The inspectors shall perform such duties as are required by the DGCL,
including the counting of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or
retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of
the duties of the inspectors. The presiding officer may review all
determinations made by the inspectors, and in so doing the presiding officer
shall be entitled to exercise his or her sole judgment and discretion and he or
she shall not be bound by any determinations made by the inspectors. All
determinations by the inspectors and, if applicable, the presiding officer,
shall be subject to further review by any court of competent jurisdiction.

meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to
the transaction of any business because such meeting is not lawfully called or

at any meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if all
members of the Board of Directors consent thereto in writing or by electronic
transmission and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or
transmissions are filed with the records of the meetings of the Board of
Directors. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in
paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in
electronic form. Such consent shall be treated as a resolution of the Board of
Directors for all purposes.

In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose

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.
SECTION 4. RECORD DATE. In order that the Corporation may determine the
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or
any adjournment thereof or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in

other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record
date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date
is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date: (a) in the case of
determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders,
shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty nor less than
ten days before the date of such meeting and (b) in the case of any other

Officer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest
extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended
(but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment
permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law
permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against any and
all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts reasonably paid in
settlement that are incurred by such Director or Officer or on such Director's
or Officer's behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed
Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, which such Director or Officer
is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in by reason of such

good faith and in a manner such Director or Officer reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any

unlawful. The rights of indemnification provided by this Section 2 shall

or Officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors,
administrators and personal representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

these By-laws in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.
SECTION 3. INDEMNIFICATION OF NON-OFFICER EMPLOYEES. Subject to the

Employee may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, be
indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as

judgments, penalties, fines and amounts reasonably paid in settlement that are
incurred by such Non-Officer Employee or on such Non-Officer Employee's behalf
in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, or any
claim, issue or matter therein, which such Non-Officer Employee is, or is
threatened to be made, a party to or
13
<Page>
participant in by reason of such Non-Officer Employee's Corporate Status, if
such Non-Officer Employee acted in good faith and in a manner such Non-Officer
Employee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The rights of indemnification
provided by this Section 3 shall exist as to a Non-Officer Employee after he or
she has ceased to be a Non-Officer Employee and shall inure to the benefit of
his or her heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may indemnify any Non-Officer
Employee seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding initiated by
such Non-Officer Employee only if such Proceeding was authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation.
SECTION 4. GOOD FAITH. Unless ordered by a court, no indemnification shall
be provided pursuant to this Article V to a Director, to an Officer or to a
Non-Officer Employee unless a determination shall have been made that such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to
any criminal Proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful. Such determination shall be made by (a) a majority
vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board
of Directors, (b) a committee comprised of Disinterested Directors, such
committee having been designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested
Directors (even though less than a quorum), (c) if there are no such
Disinterested Directors, or if a majority of Disinterested Directors so directs,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of
the Corporation.
SECTION 5. ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES TO DIRECTORS PRIOR TO FINAL DISPOSITION.
(a) The Corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of
any Director in connection with any Proceeding in which such Director is
involved by reason of such Director's Corporate Status within ten (10) days
after the receipt by the Corporation of a written statement from such Director
requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after
final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall
reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Director and shall be preceded
or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director to repay any
Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director is
not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf
of any Director seeking advancement of expenses hereunder in connection with a
Proceeding initiated by such Director only if such Proceeding was (i) authorized
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or (ii) brought to enforce
Director's rights to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under these
By-laws.
(b) If a claim for advancement of Expenses hereunder by a Director is not
paid in full by the Corporation within 10 days after receipt by the Corporation
of documentation of Expenses and the required undertaking, such Director may at
any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim and if successful in whole or in part, such Director shall
also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The failure
of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof,
independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning
the permissibility of such
14
<Page>
advancement of Expenses under this Article V shall not be a defense to the
action and shall not create a presumption that such advancement is not
permissible. The burden of proving that a Director is not entitled to an
advancement of expenses shall be on the Corporation.
(c) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of
expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be
entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Director
has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.
SECTION 6. ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES TO OFFICERS AND NON-OFFICER EMPLOYEES
PRIOR TO FINAL DISPOSITION.
(a) The Corporation may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors of
the Corporation, advance any or all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any
Officer and Non-Officer Employee in connection with any Proceeding in which such
is involved by reason of the Corporate Status of such Officer or Non-Officer
Employee upon the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from
such Officer or Non-Officer Employee requesting such advance or advances from
time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding.
Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by
such Officer and Non-Officer Employee and shall be preceded or accompanied by an
undertaking by or on behalf of such to repay any Expenses so advanced if it
shall ultimately be determined that such Officer or Non-Officer Employee is not
entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.
(b) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of
expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be
entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Officer or
Non-Officer Employee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set
forth in the DGCL.
SECTION 7. CONTRACTUAL NATURE OF RIGHTS.
(a) The foregoing provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a
contract between the Corporation and each Director and Officer entitled to the
benefits hereof at any time while this Article V is in effect, and any repeal or
modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing
with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any
Proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought based in whole or in part upon any
such state of facts.
(b) If a claim for indemnification hereunder by a Director or Officer is
not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after receipt by the
Corporation of a written claim for indemnification, such Director or Officer may
at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, such Director or
Officer shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such
claim. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any
committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a
determination concerning the permissibility of such indemnification under this
Article V shall not be a defense to the action
15
<Page>
and shall not create a presumption that such indemnification is not permissible.
The burden of proving that a Director or Officer is not entitled to
indemnification shall be on the Corporation.
(c) In any suit brought by a Director or Officer to enforce a right to
indemnification hereunder, it shall be a defense that such Director or Officer
has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.
SECTION 8. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The rights to indemnification and
advancement of Expenses set forth in this Article V shall not be exclusive of
any other right which any Director, Officer, or Non-Officer Employee may have or
hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate or these
By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or
otherwise.
SECTION 9. INSURANCE. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its
expense, to protect itself and any Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee
against any liability of any character asserted against or incurred by the
Corporation or any such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee, or arising
out of any such person's Corporate Status, whether or not the Corporation would
have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL or
the provisions of this Article V.
SECTION 10. OTHER INDEMNIFICATION. The Corporation's obligation, if any, to
indemnify any person under this Article V as a result of such person serving, at
the request of the Corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such
person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or enterprise.
