STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS

Section 2.1 Place of Meetings.

Meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, or at no place and solely by means of remote communications, as may be designated by or in the manner provided in these Bylaws, or, if not so designated, as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

The annual meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation, for the purpose of the election of directors and for such other business as may lawfully come before it, shall be held on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by or in the manner determined by the Board of Directors. The Corporation may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors at any time, before or after notice of such meeting has been sent to the stockholders of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything in the Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 2.9 and 2.10, as applicable; provided, however, that nothing in such Sections shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with said procedures so long as such discussion is undertaken in compliance with the rules applicable to such meeting.

Section 2.3 Special Meetings.

Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may only be called in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. Only such business shall be brought before a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been specified in the notice of such meeting.

Section 2.4 Notice of Meetings.

(a)Except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, notice of each meeting of stockholders, specifying the place, if any, date and hour, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting), and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of such meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat, directed to the address of such stockholder as it appears upon the books of the Corporation. If the Board of Directors fixes a date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of a meeting of stockholders, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.

(b)When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication), notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are (i) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, (ii) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxyholders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication or (iii) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.4. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting, and in such case shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 2.5 Quorum and Voting.

(a)At all meetings of stockholders except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented thereat or by the chairman of the meeting, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting at

which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. In addition, the chairman of the meeting will have the power to adjourn or recess a meeting whether or not a quorum is present.

(b)Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, and except as otherwise required by the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Corporation’s securities are listed, all matters other than the election of directors shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on such matter affirmatively or negatively. For purposes of these Bylaws, a share present at a meeting, but for which there is an abstention or broker non-vote on a particular matter, shall be counted as present for the purpose of establishing a quorum but shall not be counted as a vote cast on the matter in question. Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board of Directors.

Section 2.6 Voting Rights.

(a)Except as otherwise required by law, only persons in whose names shares entitled to vote stand on the stock records of the Corporation on the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting shall be entitled to vote at such meeting.

(b)Every person entitled to vote or to execute consents shall have the right to do so either in person or by proxy, which proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation at or before the meeting at which it is to be used. Said proxy so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted on after three (3) years from its date unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Unless and until voted, every proxy shall be revocable unless it

states that it is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest sufficient at law to support an irrevocable power.

(c)Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.6, the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority:

(1)A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or the stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

(2)A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that such transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination shall specify the information upon which they relied.

(d)Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to subsection (c) of this section may be substituted 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.

Section 2.7 Voting Procedures and Inspectors of Elections.

(a)The Corporation may, and shall if required by law, 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 person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.

(b)The inspectors shall (i) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, (ii) determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count 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.

(c)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. No ballot, proxies or votes, nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery shall determine otherwise upon application by a stockholder.

(d)In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted with those proxies, any information provided in accordance with Sections 211(e) or 212(c)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (as amended, the “DGCL”), or any information provided pursuant to Section 211 thereof, ballots and the regular books and records of the Corporation, except that the inspectors may consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited purpose permitted herein, the inspectors at the time they make their certification pursuant to subsection (b)(v) of this Section 2.7 shall specify the precise information considered by them, including the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors’ belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

Section 2.8 List of Stockholders.

The Corporation shall prepare no later than the tenth (10^th) day before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting (or, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 2.8 shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days ending on the day before the meeting date: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to

gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation.

Section 2.9 Stockholder Business Proposals at Annual Meetings.

To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business (other than nominations of directors made pursuant to Section 2.10) must be brought before the annual meeting (i) by the Corporation and specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) that is provided by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any committee appointed by the Board of Directors, or (ii) by a stockholder who is (A) a stockholder of record of the Corporation (and, with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf such business is proposed, only if such beneficial owner was the beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation) at the time of (x) giving the stockholder’s notice required in Section 2.9(b) below and (y) the annual meeting of stockholders, and (B) a stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.9. The foregoing clause (ii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business (other than business included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to the applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) at an annual meeting of stockholders.

(b) In addition to any other applicable requirements for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, (i) the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2.9, (ii) any such business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under Delaware law, (iii) the Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below) must have acted in accordance with the representations set forth in the Business Solicitation Statement (as defined below) and (iv) the stockholder must provide any updates or supplements to the information contained in such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.9 (the “Notice Requirements”).

However, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.9(c), if the Corporation did not hold an annual meeting the previous year, or if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, then to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the ninetieth (90^th) day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the tenth (10^th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the public announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Section 2.9(c) (the “Timing Requirements”).

(B)(i) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of shares of the Corporation at the time of giving notice, will be entitled to vote at the meeting and that such stockholder (or a qualified representative thereof) intends to appear at the meeting to propose the business that is specified in the

notice; (ii) a representation as to whether any Stockholder Associated Person or any other participant (as defined in Item 4 of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act) will engage in a solicitation with respect to such proposal and, if so, the name of each participant in such solicitation and the amount of the cost of solicitation that has been and will be borne, directly or indirectly, by each participant in such solicitation and a representation as to whether each Stockholder Associated Person intends or is part of a group that intends (x) to deliver, or make available, a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares required to approve or adopt the business and (y) to otherwise solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such business (such representations, the “Business Solicitation Statement”); (iii) a certification regarding whether each Stockholder Associated Person has complied with all applicable federal, state and other legal requirements in connection with such Stockholder Associated Person’s acquisition of shares of capital stock or other securities of the Corporation and/or such Stockholder Associated Person’s acts or omissions as a stockholder or beneficial owner of the Corporation; and (iv) any other information relating to such Stockholder Associated Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Stockholder Associated Person in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A)(i) through (vi) and (B)(i) through (iv) in this Section 2.9(d)(3) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Stockholder Associated Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these Bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner.

(e) For purposes of this Section 2.9 and Section 2.10, “Stockholder Associated Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing notice of the business to be brought (in the case of Section 2.9) or the nomination to be proposed (in the case of Section 2.10) before an annual meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice is made and (iii) any affiliate who controls either of the foregoing stockholder or beneficial owner(s), directly or indirectly.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9, a proposal submitted by a stockholder in accordance with this Section 2.9 (including without limitation any proposal included in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to the applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act) shall not be presented or voted upon at the annual meeting if such stockholder or a qualified

representative thereof does not attend the annual meeting to present the proposal. In the event a qualified representative will appear at a meeting and present a proposal in lieu of a stockholder, the stockholder must provide the notice of such designation at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the meeting and if no such advance notice is provided, only the stockholder may present the proposal and the proposal may be disregarded in the event the stockholder fails to appear and present the proposal (the “Attendance Requirements”).

(h) The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.9, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting, and such business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that such proposal is set forth in (as applicable) the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of such business may have been solicited or received (the “Meeting Chairman’s Powers”).

(i) Nothing in this Section 2.9 is intended to limit, and shall not limit, the right of a stockholder to request inclusion of a proposal in the Corporation’s proxy card, proxy statement or information statement pursuant to the applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, and any proposal (i) submitted in compliance with the applicable procedural and substantive requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (including any other applicable requirements not in conflict with such Rule 14a-8) and included in the Corporation’s proxy card, proxy statement or information statement pursuant thereto, and (ii) presented at the meeting in compliance with the applicable procedural and substantive requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (including any other applicable requirements not in conflict with such Rule 14a-8) shall be deemed to be properly before the meeting.

(i) “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; and

(e) To be in proper form for this Section 2.10, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

a group that intends (x) to deliver, or make available, a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares required to elect the nominee or nominees proposed to be nominated and (y) to otherwise solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such nomination (such representations, the “Nomination Solicitation Notice”)”; and

(4) In addition to the information required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information (i) as the Corporation may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation (or on any committee thereof) under any applicable stock exchange listing requirements, any applicable rules of the SEC, any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board of Directors in selecting nominees for election as a director and for determining and disclosing the independence of directors (including those applicable to a director’s service on any of the committees of the Board of Directors), or applicable law, or (ii) that the Board of Directors reasonably determines could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the background, qualifications, experience, independence, or lack thereof, of such proposed nominee. Any supplemental information required under this Section 2.10(e)(4) shall be provided by the deadlines set forth in Section 2.10(g) or, if earlier, within ten (10) days after such information has been requested by the Corporation. No person shall be eligible for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation at an annual meeting unless such person is nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10. These provisions shall not apply to the nomination of any persons entitled to be separately elected by holders of preferred stock.

DIRECTORS

Section 3.1 Number and Term of Office.

(a)The number of directors of the Corporation shall not be less than 3 nor more than 12. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the exact number of directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by resolutions duly adopted by a majority of the Whole Board. The term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directors whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships. Elected directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting in which their terms expire and until their successors shall be duly elected and qualified. Directors need not be stockholders. In no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(b)Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II, and Class III. The term of office of the initial Class I directors shall expire at the first succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders following the effectiveness of the Certificate of Incorporation, the term of office of the initial Class II directors shall expire at the second succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders following the effectiveness of the Certificate of Incorporation and the term of office of the initial Class III directors shall expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders following the effectiveness of the Certificate of Incorporation. At each annual meeting of stockholders beginning with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the effective time of the Certificate of Incorporation, the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders following their election, with each director in each such class to hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of preferred stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the applicable terms of these Bylaws and any certificate of designations creating such class or series of preferred stock, and such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Section 3.1 unless expressly provided by such terms.

Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (as a party, witness, or otherwise) in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, investigation, or proceeding, and any appeal thereof, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative or otherwise and/or any inquiry or investigation, whether formal or informal, conducted by the Corporation or any other party, that such person in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), related to or arising out of the fact that such person, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, or an agent with whom the Corporation has executed an indemnification agreement, or while a director or officer is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, or related to or arising out of anything done or not done by such person in any such capacity (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”), 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) (subject to the exceptions contained in these Bylaws and any other agreement) against any and all expenses, liability, and loss (including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and any interest, assessments, or other charges imposed thereon, and any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes imposed on any Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Article) (collectively, “Liabilities”) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such Proceeding.

Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending a Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding; provided, however, that if required by the DGCL, or any other agreement between the Indemnitee and Corporation, such expenses shall be advanced only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined from final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article or otherwise. Expenses incurred by other employees or agents of the Corporation may be advanced upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. Any obligation to reimburse the Corporation for expense advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

Section 8.2 Limits on Indemnification and Advancement.

Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws or any other agreement to the contrary, an Indemnitee shall not be entitled pursuant to this Article: (i) to indemnification or advancement in connection with any Proceeding initiated by the Indemnitee against the Corporation or any of its directors or officers unless (x) the Corporation has joined in or consented to the initiation of such Proceeding, or (y) the proceeding is brought under Section 8.3 hereof to enforce Indemnitee’s rights hereunder; (ii) to indemnification on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Corporation; (iii) to any amounts described in Section 8.8; or (iv) to any amounts described in Section 8.12.

Section 8.3 Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.

If a claim under Section 8.1 or 8.2 of this Article is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written demand has been made by the Indemnitee to the Corporation, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, if successful in whole or in part, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to also be paid the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation) that the Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed. The burden of proving such a defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper under the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 8.4 Provisions Nonexclusive.

The rights conferred on any person by this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Section 8.5 Authority to Insure.

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any person against any Liability, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such Liability under applicable law or the provisions of this Article.

Section 8.6 Enforcement of Rights.

Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights provided under this Article shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the Corporation and such Indemnitee. Any rights granted by this Article to an Indemnitee shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 8.7 Survival of Rights.

The rights provided by this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an Indemnitee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

Section 8.8 Settlement of Claims.

The Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify any Indemnitee under this Article (i) for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without the Corporation’s written consent, which consent

shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (ii) for any judicial award if the Corporation was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action.

Section 8.9 Effect of Amendment.

Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VIII that adversely affects any right of an Indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to any Proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

Section 8.10 Primacy of Indemnification.

Notwithstanding that an Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by persons other than the Corporation and entities under the control of the Corporation (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”), the Corporation: (i) shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to an Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnitee are secondary); and (ii) shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Liabilities, without regard to any rights such Indemnitee may have against any of the Other Indemnitors. No advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of an Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the immediately preceding sentence, and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnitee against the Corporation.

Section 8.11 Subrogation.

In the event of payment under this Article, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee (other than against the Other Indemnitors), who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

Section 8.12 No Duplication of Payments.

Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8.10 above, the Corporation shall not be liable under this Article to make any payment in connection with any claim made against the Indemnitee to the extent the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, agreement, vote, or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

Section 8.13 Saving Clause.

If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee to the fullest extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.

ARTICLE 9

NOTICES AND WAIVERS

Section 9.1

(a)Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws may be given in writing directed to the stockholder’s mailing address (or by electronic transmission directed to the stockholder’s electronic mail address, as applicable) as it appears on the records of the Corporation and shall be given: (i) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid; (ii) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address; or (iii) if given by electronic mail, when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail or such notice is prohibited by subsection (b) of this Section 9.1. A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication is an important notice regarding the Corporation.

(b)Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. A corporation may give a notice by electronic mail in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 9.1 without obtaining the consent required by this subsection (b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that: (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation, and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (iii) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of these Bylaws, “electronic transmission” has the meaning assigned to it under Section 232(d)(1) of the DGCL.

(c) Whenever any notice is required to be given under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, Board of Directors or members of a committee of the Board of Directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws.

(d) Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

ARTICLE 10

AMENDMENTS

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.9 above or the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws may be repealed, altered or amended or new Bylaws adopted (i) by the Board of Directors by unanimous written consent or at any annual, regular, or special meeting by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Whole Board, or (ii) by the affirmative vote of holders of at least seventy percent (70%) of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of the Corporation’s capital stock entitled to vote thereon, unless a larger vote is required by these Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation.

ARTICLE 11

FEDERAL FORUM PROVISION

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant named in such complaint. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision is intended to benefit and may be enforced by the Corporation, its officers and directors, the underwriters for any offering giving rise to such complaint, and any other professional entity whose profession gives authority to a statement made by that person or entity and who has prepared or certified any part of the documents underlying such offering. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision.

ARTICLE 12

SEVERABILITY

If any provision or provisions of these Bylaws shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of these Bylaws (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of these Bylaws containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable

that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
