-7-

4861-3069-5119 v.5

business shall be disregarded, even if the Corporation has received proxies or votes in respect of those matters (which proxies and votes shall also be disregarded).

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, regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to

-8-

4861-3069-5119 v.5

the Secretary a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date before the vote pursuant to that proxy.

For purposes of these Bylaws, a majority of votes cast shall mean that the number of votes cast “for” a director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that director’s election (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” (or other shares of capital stock of the Corporation similarly not entitled to vote) not counted as a vote cast either “for” or “against” that director’s election).

1.8.4.In all other matters, unless a different vote is required by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange upon which any Corporation Securities are traded (in which case such different vote shall be the applicable vote on the matter), the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Where a separate vote by class or classes is required, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares cast of such class or classes present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or classes, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if

If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

owned by such holder. The signatures of the officers upon a certificate may be by electronic signature as permitted under the DGCL. If such certificate is manually signed by one officer or manually countersigned by a transfer agent or by a registrar, any other signature on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The Corporation may not issue stock certificates in bearer form. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated shares and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing stock of the same class and series shall be identical.

Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required by law to be set forth or stated on certificates or a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

Whenever notice is required to be given by applicable law or under any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to 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, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

6.4.Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

6.4.1.Except as provided in this Section 6.4, the Corporation shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party or otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that such person or such person’s testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or serves or served at the request of the Corporation at any corporation, limited liability company, public limited company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, fund or other enterprise as a director or officer (each, an “Indemnitee”) against all Expenses (as defined below), judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities and other losses, in each case, actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith; provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any such Indemnitee

-21-

4861-3069-5119 v.5

in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Indemnitee, other than any Permitted Counterclaims (as defined below), unless such Proceeding was authorized in a resolution adopted by the Board; and provided further that no such indemnification shall be required with respect to any settlement or other non-adjudicated disposition of any Proceeding unless the Corporation has given its prior consent to such settlement or other disposition. The Board is hereby empowered, by majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, to cause the Corporation to indemnify or contract in advance to indemnify any person not specified in this Section 6.4 against liabilities, fines, penalties and claims imposed upon or asserted against him or her (including amounts paid in settlement) by reason of having been an employee, agent or consultant of the Corporation, whether or not then continuing so to be, and against all expenses (including counsel fees) reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith, to the same extent as if such person were specified as one to whom indemnification is granted.

6.4.2.Expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Proceeding shall be promptly advanced or reimbursed by the Corporation upon receipt of (i) a written request therefor and (ii) a written undertaking of such Indemnitee to repay such Expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation or, where indemnification is granted, to the extent the Expenses so advanced or reimbursed exceed the amount to which such Indemnitee is entitled; provided that such Indemnitee shall cooperate in good faith with any request by the Corporation that common counsel be utilized by the parties to an action or proceeding who are similarly situated unless to do so would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between or among such parties. An Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Corporation shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

6.4.3.The Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee or advance or reimburse an Indemnitee’s Expenses in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):

6.4.3.1.for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such Indemnitee under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;

6.4.3.2.for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if such Indemnitee is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

6.4.3.3.relating to violations of the Corporation’s Code of Conduct and Ethics or Insider Trading Policy; or

6.4.3.4.relating to violations of Federal or state insider trading laws,

-22-

4861-3069-5119 v.5

unless, in each case, such Indemnitee has been successful on the merits, received the written consent to incur the Expense or settled the case with the written consent of the Corporation, in which case the Corporation shall indemnify and reimburse the Expenses of such Indemnitee. In addition, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee or advance or reimburse Indemnitee’s Expenses if such indemnification or payment would constitute a “prohibited indemnification payment” under the regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or any successor provisions) or any other applicable laws, rules or regulations.

6.4.4.No claim for indemnification shall be paid by the Corporation unless the Corporation has determined that such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that an Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determinations shall be made by (i) a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the Proceeding for which indemnification is sought, even though less than a quorum, (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of 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, a copy of which shall be received by such Indemnitee or (iv) by a majority vote of the stockholders. If such determination is not made by the Corporation within 30 days of a demand by such Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement or reimbursement of Expenses, such Indemnitee shall be deemed to have met such standard. An Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation such documentation and information as is reasonably available to such Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

6.4.5.If a claim for indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Section 6.4 is not paid in full within 90 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request therefor, an Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. The Corporation shall indemnify such Indemnitee against any and all Expenses that are incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Corporation under this Section

-23-

4861-3069-5119 v.5

6.4(e), to the extent such Indemnitee is successful in such action, and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. In any such suit, the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving that such Indemnitee is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of Expenses.

6.4.6.An Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing upon the sooner of (i) becoming aware of a Proceeding where indemnification or the advance payment or reimbursement of Expenses may be sought or (ii) being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any matter which may be subject to indemnification or the advance payment or reimbursement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Corporation shall not relieve the Corporation of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 6.4.

6.4.7.As a condition to indemnification or the advance payment or reimbursement of Expenses, any demand for payment by an Indemnitee hereunder shall be in writing and shall provide reasonable accounting by such Indemnitee’s legal counsel for the Expenses to be paid by the Corporation.
