Registered Office and Agent. The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is Capitol Services, Inc., 615 South Dupont Highway, Dover, Delaware. The name of its registered agent at such address is Capitol Services, Inc.
Other Offices. The Corporation may also have offices at other places, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the Board) may from time to time determine or as the business of the Corporation shall require.
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Place of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders for the election of directors or for any other purpose shall be held at such place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time to time by the Board and stated in the notice of meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. Adjournments of meetings may be held at the place at which the meeting adjourned is being held, or at any other place determined by the Board, whether or not a quorum shall have been present at such meeting.
Annual Meetings. To the extent required by applicable law or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, an annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting.
Special Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, special meetings of the stockholders shall be called only in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation. Only such business as is specified in the notice of any special meeting of the stockholders shall come before such meeting.
Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, notice of each meeting of the stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than ten days nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to notice of the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be
deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholders address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Each such notice shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of any meeting of the stockholders shall not be required to be given to any stockholder who shall waive notice thereof as provided in Section 4 of Article VIII of these By-laws. Notice of adjournment of a meeting of the stockholders need not be given if the time and place to which it is adjourned are announced at such meeting, unless the adjournment is for more than 30 days or, after adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting.
Quorum; Adjournment. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the holders of a majority in total voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or series of capital stock is required, the holders of a majority in total voting power of the outstanding capital stock of such class or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to such vote on such matter. The Chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders who are present in person or by proxy may adjourn the meeting from time to time whether or not a quorum is present. In the event that a quorum does not exist with respect to any vote to be taken by a particular class or series, the Chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders of such class or series who are present in person or by proxy may adjourn the meeting with respect to the vote(s) to be taken by such class or series. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, unless a different period is prescribed by applicable law.
Proxies. Any stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders may do so in person or by proxy appointed by such stockholder or by such stockholders attorney thereto authorized, and bearing a date not more than three years prior to such meeting, unless such instrument provides for a longer period. All proxies must be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation at the beginning of the applicable meeting in order to be counted in any vote at such meeting.
Voting. Except as otherwise provided by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, these By-laws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation or its securities or applicable law, and except for the election of directors, any question brought before any meeting of the stockholders at which a quorum is present shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of votes of the capital stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the applicable subject matter.

Organization; Order of Business. i)At every meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board, or in such persons absence, the Chief Executive Officer, or in the absence of both of them, the Chief Operating Officer or any Vice President, shall act as Chairman of the meeting. In the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer and each Vice President, the Board, or if the Board fails to act, the stockholders may appoint any stockholder, director or officer of the Corporation to act as Chairman of any meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as Secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary, the Chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as Secretary of the meeting.
(1) Except as otherwise provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at any annual meeting of the stockholders, only (i) pursuant to the Corporations notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (ii) by or at the direction of the Board or (iii) by any stockholder who is a holder of record at the time of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 8, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 8.
Except as otherwise provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, for nominations or business properly to be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation and any such proposed business other than the nomination of persons for election to the Board must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholders notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days earlier or more than 60 days later than such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered or received not earlier than 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; provided further, however, that for the purpose of calculating the timeliness of stockholder notices for the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders, the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting shall be deemed to be May 15, 2004. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholders notice as described above. To be in proper written form, a stockholders notice to the Secretary of the Corporation shall set forth in writing as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election 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 pursuant to
3
Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) (including such persons written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (ii) 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 annual meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration) and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the by-laws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment; (iii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporations books, of the stockholder proposing such business or nomination and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is being made; (iv) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned or owned of record by the stockholder and the beneficial owner; (v) any material interest of the stockholder in such business; (vi) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such annual meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at such meeting to propose such business; and (vii) if the stockholder intends to solicit proxies in support of such stockholders proposal, a representation to that effect. The foregoing notice requirements shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his or her intention to make a nomination or present a proposal at an annual meeting and such stockholders nominee or proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by management of the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting; provided, however, that if such stockholder does not appear or send a qualified representative to present such nominee or proposal at such annual meeting, the Corporation need not present such nominee or proposal for a vote at such meeting notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 8 of Article II, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of such writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation.
Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (b)(2) above to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board at an annual meeting of the stockholders is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for directors or specifying the size of the increased Board made by the Corporation at least 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, a stockholders notice required by this Section 8 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 or mailed to and received by 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; provided, however, that for the purpose of calculating the timeliness of
4
public announcements by the Corporation for the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders, the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting shall be deemed to be May 15, 2004.
(c) Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporations notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporations notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board or (ii) provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder who is a holder of record at the time of the giving of notice provided for in this Section 8, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 8 (except as otherwise provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation). In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporations notice of meeting, if the stockholder has given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation (except as otherwise provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation). To be timely, a stockholders notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special 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. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholders notice as described above. To be in proper written form, such notice must meet the requirements of paragraph (b)(2) above.
