Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder of the corporation, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the 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 of the corporation who is present.

If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, the stockholders of the corporation entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

Section 9. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law or of the certificate of incorporation, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Prompt notice of the taking of the action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

Section 1. The number of directors may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the stockholders of the corporation. The initial number of directors which shall constitute the Board of Directors shall be one. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article III, and each director elected shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Directors need not be stockholders of the corporation.

Section 2. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law. If, at the time of filling any vacancy of any newly


created directorship, the directors then in office shall constitute less than a majority of the members of the Board of Directors (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders of the corporation holding at least ten percent (10%) of the total number of the shares of capital stock of the corporation at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office.

Section 3. The business of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders of the corporation by the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law or by the certificate of incorporation or by these Bylaws.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 4. The Board of Directors of the corporation may hold meetings either within or without the State of Delaware.

Section 5. Any meetings of the Board of Directors of the corporation shall be held at such date and time as shall from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors. A meeting of the Board of Directors may also be called by the Secretary or by the Chairman of the corporation. Notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors shall be provided at least one hour prior to such meeting. Notice may be waived by any director. Notice of a Board meeting may be provided orally or in writing. Written notice may be provided by e-mail to a director’s e-mail address on the records of the corporation and will be effective when sent. Written notice may be provided by facsimile transmission or by electronic transmission as provided in Article IV of these Bylaws. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except at may be otherwise specifically provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law or by the certificate of incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

Section 6. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or such committee. 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.

Section 7. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS

Section 8. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such person or persons constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent


provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to the following matters: (i) approving or adopting, or recommending to the stockholders of the corporation, any action or matter (other than the election or removal of directors) expressly required by this chapter to be submitted to stockholders of the corporation for approval, or (ii) adopting, amending or repealing any of these Bylaws.

Section 9. Unless the Board of Directors otherwise provides, each committee designated by the Board of Directors may adopt, amend and repeal rules for the conduct of its business. In the absence of a provision by the Board of Directors or a provision in the rules of such committee to the contrary, a majority of the entire authorized number of members of such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, the vote of a majority of the members present at a meeting at the time of such vote if a quorum is then present shall be the act of such committee, and in other respects each committee shall conduct its business in the same manner as the Board of Directors conducts its business pursuant to Article III of these Bylaws. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Section 10. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of committees of the Board of Directors may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

Section 11. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or by law, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.

ARTICLE IV

NOTICES

Section 1. Whenever, under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law or of the certificate of incorporation or of these Bylaws, notice is required to be given to any director or stockholder of the corporation, it shall not be construed to mean personal notice, but such notice may be given in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given if (i) personally delivered, (ii) sent by United States mail (addressed to such director or stockholder, at his or her address as it appears on the records of the corporation, with postage thereon prepaid), (iii) by facsimile directed to a number at which the such director or stockholder has consented to receive notice, or (iv) by electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission, when directed to an electronic mail address at which such director or stockholder has consented to receive notice. Notices will be deemed given, unless earlier received, (i) when delivered, if personally delivered, (ii) two (2) business days after being deposited in the United States Mail, if mailed, (iii) upon transmission if sent by facsimile, and (iv) upon transmission is sent by electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission. Each director shall provide the Secretary of the corporation with either a facsimile number at which such director consents to receive notice or an electronic mail address at which the director consents to receive notice.


Section 2. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any director or stockholder of the corporation under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law or of the certificate of incorporation or of these Bylaws, a waiver, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by such person or person, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. 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 meeting of stockholders of the corporation, any meeting of the Board of Directors or any 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 these Bylaws.

Section 3. For purposes of this chapter, “electronic transmission” means any electronic mail or any other form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

ARTICLE V

OFFICERS

Section 1. The officers of the corporation shall be a president, a chief financial officer, one or more vice presidents and a secretary. The corporation may also have, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, a chief executive officer, a corporate controller, one or more assistant vice presidents, one or more assistant secretaries and such other officers as may be appointed in accordance with the provisions hereof. One person may hold two or more offices.

Section 2. Each officer shall hold office until such officer’s successor is elected and qualified or until such officer’s earlier resignation or removal. Any officer may resign at any time upon written notice to the corporation. Any such resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of such notice or at any later time specified therein; and unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

Section 3. Any officer may be removed, wither with or without cause, by the Board of Directors at any meeting of the Board of Directors or, except in case of an officer chosen by the Board of Directors, by any officer upon whom such power or removal may be conferred by the Board of Directors.

Section 4. A vacancy in any office for any reason shall be filled in the manner prescribed in these Bylaws for the regular appointments to such office.
