3.4 Fixing Record Date. For the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or dissent from any proposal without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed: (i) the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (ii) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed; and (iii) the record date for determining shareholders for any purpose, other than those specified in clauses (i) and (ii) hereof, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the Board relating thereto is adopted. When a determination has been made of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders as herein provided, such determination shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting, unless the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

3.5 Notice of Meetings of Shareholders. Whenever under any provision of law or the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, shareholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, the notice of that meeting shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and unless it is the annual meeting, indicate that it is being issued by or at the direction of the person or persons calling the meeting. Notice of a special meeting shall also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of any annual or special meeting of shareholders shall be given, personally or by mail, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of such meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat as of the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of such meeting.

An affidavit of the Secretary or of the transfer agent of the Corporation that the notice required by this section has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned is announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and at the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. However, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record who is entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix a new date for notice of such adjourned meeting, in accordance with this Section 3.5 and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting.

3.6 Waiver of Notice. Notice of meeting need not be given to any shareholder who signs a waiver of notice, whether before or after the meeting. The attendance of any shareholder at a meeting, in person or by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice by him, except when the person attends the 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.

3.7 List of Shareholders at Meetings. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the

 

2

meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

3.8 Quorum of Shareholders. Except as otherwise provided in these By-Laws or in the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of record of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders for the transaction of any business, provided that when a specified item of business is required to be voted on by a class or series, voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such specified item of business. When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any shareholder. The shareholders present may adjourn the meeting despite the absence of a quorum.

3.9 Organization. At every meeting of the shareholders, the Chairman of the Board, or an individual appointed by him, who may be, but does not have to be, an officer of the Corporation, shall act as Chairman of the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, or in his absence one of the Assistant Secretaries of the Corporation, shall act as Secretary of the meeting.

3.10 Order of Business. The Chairman of the meeting shall conduct all meetings of the shareholders in accordance with the best interests of the Corporation. The order of business at all such meetings shall be as determined by the Chairman of the meeting. The Chairman of the meeting shall have the authority and discretion to establish reasonable procedural rules for the conduct of the meeting, including regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as he or she shall deem appropriate. The Chairman of the meeting shall also have the authority to adjourn the meeting from time to time and place to place as he or she may deem necessary and in the best interests of the Corporation.

3.11 Inspectors of Election. The Board, in advance of any shareholders’ meeting, may appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If inspectors are not so appointed, the person presiding at a shareholders’ meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder entitled to vote thereat shall, appoint inspectors. If appointed on the request of one or more shareholders, the holders of a majority of shares present and entitled to vote thereat shall determine the number of inspectors to be appointed. In case any person appointed fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors shall determine the number of shares outstanding, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting or any shareholder entitled to vote thereat, the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by them and execute a certificate of any fact found by them. Any report or certificate made by them shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated and of the vote as certified by them.

3.12 Voting; Proxies. Each shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting may vote either in person or by proxy. Unless otherwise specified in the Certificate of Incorporation or in a resolution, or resolutions, of the Board providing for the issuance of preferred stock, each shareholder entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock registered in his or her name on the transfer books or records of the Corporation. Each shareholder entitled to vote may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy. All proxies shall be in writing, signed by the shareholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact, and shall be filed with the Secretary before being voted. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. The attendance at any meeting by a shareholder who shall have previously given a proxy applicable thereto shall not, as such, have the effect of revoking the proxy. The Corporation may treat any duly executed proxy as not revoked and in full force and effect until it receives a duly executed instrument revoking it, or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. If ownership of a share of voting stock of the Corporation stands in the name of two or more persons, in the absence of written directions to the Corporation to the contrary, any one or more of such shareholders may cast all votes to which such ownership is entitled. If an attempt is made to cast

 

3

conflicting votes by the several persons in whose names shares of stock stand, the vote or votes to which those persons are entitled shall be cast as directed by a majority of those holding such stock and present at such meeting. If such conflicting votes are evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or any person voting the shares, or a beneficiary, if any, may apply to the Court of Chancery or such other court as may have jurisdiction to appoint an additional person to act with the persons so voting the shares, which shall then be voted as determined by a majority of such persons and the person appointed by the Court. Except for the election of directors or as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, at all meetings of shareholders, all matters shall be determined by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter by all shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. Directors shall, except as otherwise required by law, these By-laws or the Certificate of Incorporation, be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by each class of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, present and entitled to vote in the election.

3.13 Written Consent of Shareholders. Any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing.

3.14 Procedure for Nominations. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Nominating Committee of the Board shall select nominees for election as directors. Provided the Nominating Committee makes such nominations, no nominations for directors except those made by the Nominating Committee shall be voted upon at the annual meeting of shareholders unless nominations by shareholders are made in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 3.14. Nominations of candidates for election to the Board may be made by any shareholder of record of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at such meeting who provides timely notice in writing to the Secretary as set forth in this paragraph. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to or received by the Secretary not later than the following dates: (i) with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders, no earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days and no later than ninety days (90) days prior to the one year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders; and (ii) with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders held at a time more than thirty (30) prior to or subsequent to the date of the prior year’s annual meeting of shareholders, the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to shareholders.

Such notice shall include a signed consent to serve as a director of the Corporation, if elected, of each such substituted nominee.

3.16 New Business. Any new business to be taken up at the annual meeting at the request of the Chairman of the Board, the President or by resolution of at least three-fourths of the entire Board shall be stated in writing and filed with the Secretary at least fifteen (15) days before the date of the annual meeting, and all business so stated, proposed and filed shall be considered at the annual meeting, but, except as provided in this Section 3.16, no other business shall be acted upon at the annual meeting. Any business raised by any shareholder may be brought before the annual meeting and the same may be discussed and considered, but unless properly brought before the meeting such proposed business shall not be acted upon at the meeting. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting, the shareholder must be a shareholder of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting and must have timely given notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to or received by the Secretary not later than the following dates: (i) with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders, no earlier than one hundred twenty days (120) days and no later than ninety days (90) days prior to the one year anniversary of preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders and (ii) with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders held at a time more than thirty (30) prior to or subsequent to the date of the prior year’s annual meeting of shareholders, the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to shareholders. For purposes of this Section 3.16, notice shall be deemed to first be given to shareholders when disclosure of such date of the meeting of shareholders is first made in a press release reported to Dow Jones News Services, 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

This provision shall not prevent the consideration and approval or disapproval at an annual meeting of reports of officers, directors and committees of the Board or the management of the Corporation, but in connection with such reports, no new business shall be acted upon at such annual meeting unless stated and filed as herein provided. This provision shall not constitute a waiver of any right of the Corporation under the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other rule or regulation to omit a shareholder’s proposal from the Corporation’s proxy materials.

The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that any new business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions hereof and, if he should so determine, he shall declare to the meeting that such new business was not properly brought before the meeting and shall not be considered.
