Meetings of Stockholders

Section 2.1. Annual Meetings. If required by applicable law, an annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date, time and place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but shall instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”). The Board of Directors or the Chair of the Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors.

Section 2.2. Special Meetings. (a) Special meetings of stockholders may be called in the manner set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. A special meeting requested by one or more stockholders (a “Stockholder Requested Special Meeting”) pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be called by the Secretary only if the stockholder(s) requesting such meeting comply with this Section 2.2 and applicable law. The Board of Directors or the Chair of the Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders called by the Board of Directors.

(b) No business may be transacted at a special meeting of stockholders other than business that is (i) Proposed Business (as defined below) stated in a valid Special Meeting Request (as defined below), (ii) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) otherwise properly brought before a special meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. For purposes hereof, a “Meeting Requesting Person” shall mean (A) the stockholder of record making the request to fix a Requested Record Date (as defined below) for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to request that the Secretary call a special meeting and (B) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different from the stockholder of record, on whose behalf such request is made. No stockholder may request that the Secretary call a special meeting of stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.2 unless a stockholder of record has first submitted a request in writing that the Board of Directors fix a record date (a “Requested Record Date”) for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to request that the Secretary call such special meeting, which request shall be in proper form and delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation. To be in proper form, such request shall:

(1) Bear the signature and the date of signature by the stockholder of record submitting such request and set forth the name and address of such stockholder as they appear in the corporation’s books;

(2) Include a reasonably brief description of the purpose or purposes of the special meeting, the business desired to be brought before the special meeting (the “Proposed Business”) and the reasons for conducting the Proposed Business at the special meeting; and

(3) As to each item of Proposed Business, each Meeting Requesting Person and each Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below but substituting “Meeting Requesting Person” in all places where “Noticing Party” appears in such definition), shall include the information required to be set forth in a notice under Section 2.12(a)(3) of these bylaws as if the Proposed Business were to considered at an annual meeting of stockholders, except that for purposes of this Section 2.2(b)(3), the term “Meeting Requesting Person” shall be substituted for the term “Noticing Party” in all places it appears in Section 2.12(a)(3).

(c) Within ten (10) business days after the Secretary receives a request to fix a Requested Record Date in proper form and otherwise in compliance with this Section 2.2 from any stockholder of record, the Board of Directors may adopt a resolution fixing a Requested Record Date for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to request that the Secretary call a special meeting, which date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the Requested Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2(c) to the contrary, no Requested Record Date shall be fixed if the Board of Directors determines that the request or requests that would otherwise be submitted following such Requested Record Date could not comply with the requirements set forth in clause (ii) or (iv) of Section 2.2(h).

(d) Without qualification, a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall not be called unless one or more stockholders owning as of the Requested Record Date not less than forty percent (40%) of all the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation (the “Requisite Percentage”) timely provide one or more requests to call such special meeting in writing and in proper form to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation. To be timely for purposes of this Section 2.2(d), a stockholder’s request to call a special meeting must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Requested Record Date. To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.2(d), a stockholder’s request to call a special meeting shall include:

(1) the signature and the date of signature by the stockholder submitting such request;

(2) if such stockholder is a stockholder of record, the name and address of such stockholder as they appear in the corporation’s books and if such stockholder is not a stockholder of record, the name and address of such stockholder;

(3) a reasonably brief description of the Proposed Business, (iii) the text of the proposal with respect to the Proposed Business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such Proposed Business includes a proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the text of the proposed amendment);

(4) the reasons for conducting the Proposed Business at the special meeting; and

(5) unless such stockholder is a Solicited Stockholder (as defined below), as to each item of Proposed Business, each Calling Person (as defined below) and each Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below but substituting “Calling Person” in all places where “Noticing Party” appears in such definition), the information required to be set forth in a notice under Section 2.12(a)(3) of these bylaws as if the Proposed Business were to be considered at an annual meeting of stockholders, except that for purposes of this Section 2.2(d), the term “Calling Person” shall be substituted for the term “Noticing Party” in all places it appears in Section 2.12(a)(3).

(6) For purposes hereof, a “Calling Person” means the stockholder of record submitting the request to call a special meeting of stockholders, or if different from the stockholder of record, the beneficial owner or beneficial owners submitting such request; “Solicited Stockholder” means any stockholder that has provided a request to call a special meeting in response to a solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by way of a

definitive consent solicitation statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Exchange Act; and “Special Meeting Request” refers to a request to call a special meeting of stockholders that is delivered to the Secretary by a stockholder as of the Requested Record Date and is timely and in proper form under this Section 2.2.

(e) A stockholder may revoke a Special Meeting Request by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at any time prior to the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting. If written revocation(s) of the Special Meeting Request have been delivered to the Secretary and the result is that (after giving effect to all revocations) stockholders holding less than the Requisite Percentage have delivered Special Meeting Requests to the Secretary: (i) if the notice of meeting has not already been mailed to stockholders, the Secretary shall refrain from mailing the notice of the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting or (ii) if the notice of meeting has already been mailed to stockholders, the Secretary shall revoke the notice of the meeting. If, subsequent to the refraining from mailing of the notice of meeting pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or subsequent to the revocation of the notice of meeting pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, as applicable (but in any event on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day after the Requested Record Date), the Secretary has received Special Meeting Requests from stockholders holding the Requisite Percentage, then, at the option of the Board of Directors, either (A) the original record date and meeting date, time and place, if any, for the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting set in accordance with Section 2.2(f) shall apply with respect to the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting or (B) the Board may disregard the original record date and meeting date, time and place, if any, for the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting from those originally set in accordance with Section 2.2(f) below and, within ten (10) days following the date on which the Secretary has received the Special Meeting Requests from stockholders holding the Requisite Percentage, set a new record date and meeting date, time and place, if any, for the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting (and, in such case, notice of the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall be given in accordance with Section 2.3).

(f) Subject to Section 2.2(e), within ten (10) days following the date on which the Secretary has received Special Meeting Requests in accordance with this Section 2.2 from stockholders holding the Requisite Percentage, the Board of Directors shall fix the record date and meeting date, time and place, if any, for the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting; provided, however, that the date of any such Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall not be more than ninety (90) days after the date on which valid Special Meeting Requests from stockholders holding the Requisite Percentage are delivered to the Secretary (and are not revoked). Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, the Board of Directors may submit its own proposal or proposals for consideration at any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, the record date for the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall be fixed in accordance with Section 2.8 below, and the Board of Directors shall provide notice of the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting in accordance with Section 2.3 below.

(g) General. (1) In connection with a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting called in accordance with this Section 2.2, the stockholders of record who requested that the Board fix a Requested Record Date in accordance with Section 2.2(b) or the Calling Persons (except for any Solicited Stockholder) who delivered a Special Meeting Request to the Secretary in accordance with this Section 2.2 shall update the information provided to the corporation in connection with such request, if necessary, such that the information provided or required to be provided in such request pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be true and correct in all material respects as of (i) the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting and (ii) the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting (or any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof), and such update shall (A) be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation (I) not later than the Close of Business five (5) business days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of such Stockholder Requested Special Meeting (in the case of an update required under clause (i) of this Section 2.2(g)(1)) and (II) not later than the Close of Business seven (7) business days prior to the date for the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting or, if practicable, any postponement, rescheduling or adjournment thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting has been postponed, rescheduled or adjourned) (in the case of an update required under clause (ii) of this Section 2.2(g)(1)), (B) be made only to the extent that information has changed in a material respect since such stockholders’ prior submission and (C) clearly identify the information that has changed in a material respect since such stockholders’ prior submission. For the avoidance of doubt, any information provided pursuant to this Section 2.2(g) shall not be deemed to cure any deficiencies in a notice previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.2 and shall not extend the time period for the delivery of notice pursuant to this Section 2.2. If a stockholder fails to provide such written update within such period, the information as to which such written update relates may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 2.2.

(2) If any information submitted pursuant to this Section 2.2 by any Calling Person (except for any Solicited Stockholder) shall be inaccurate in any material respect (as determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof), such information shall be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 2.2. Any such stockholder shall notify the Secretary in writing at the principal executive office of the corporation of any material inaccuracy or change in any information submitted pursuant to this Section 2.2 (including if any stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person no longer intends to solicit proxies in accordance with the representation made pursuant to Section 2.12(a)(3)(G)(ii)) within two (2) business days after becoming aware of such inaccuracy or change, and any such notification shall clearly identify the material inaccuracy or change, it being understood that no such notification may cure any deficiencies or inaccuracies with respect to any prior submission by such stockholder. Upon written request of the Secretary on behalf of the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof), any such stockholder shall provide, within seven (7) business days after delivery of such request (or such other period as may be reasonably specified in such request), (i) written verification, reasonably satisfactory to the Board, any committee thereof or any authorized officer of the corporation, to demonstrate the accuracy of any information submitted by such stockholder pursuant to this Section 2.2 and (ii) a written affirmation of any information submitted by such stockholder pursuant to this Section 2.2 as of an earlier date. If a stockholder fails to provide such written verification or affirmation within such period, the information as to which written verification or affirmation was requested may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 2.2.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, each Meeting Requesting Person and stockholder making a Special Meeting Request shall comply with all requirements of applicable law, including all requirements of the Exchange Act, with respect to any request to fix a Requested Record Date or to call a special meeting; provided, however, that any references in these bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 2.2.

(4) Any written notice, supplement, update or other information required to be delivered by a stockholder to the corporation pursuant to this Section 2.2 must be given by personal delivery, by overnight courier or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary at the corporation’s principal executive offices.

(5) For purposes of this Section 2.2(g), “Stockholder Associated Person” shall have the definition set forth below but substituting “Calling Person” in all places where “Noticing Party” appears in such definition.

(h) The Secretary shall not accept, and shall consider ineffective, any Special Meeting Request that (i) does not comply with this Section 2.2, (ii) relates to an item of business proposed to be transacted at the special meeting that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law, (iii) includes an item of business proposed to be transacted at such meeting that did not appear on the written request that resulted in the determination of the Requested Record Date, (iv) otherwise does not comply with applicable law, or (v) specifies purpose(s) that are included among the business of an annual or special meeting of stockholders that the Board of Director calls or has called to be held within 90 days after the Secretary receives the Special Meeting Request or that was held not more than 12 months before the date on which such Special Meeting Request was received by the Secretary, in each case with any such determination being made in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(i) The Board of Directors shall not be required to fix a Requested Record Date, to fix a special meeting record date or to call and hold a special meeting if the Board of Directors determines that (i) the corresponding request to fix a Requested Record Date or Special Meeting Request was not properly made in accordance with this Section 2.2 or (ii) the stockholders of record requesting that the Board of Directors fix such Requested Record Date or stockholders making the Special Meeting Request have not otherwise complied with this Section 2.2.

Section 2.3. Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice of the meeting shall be given that shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the 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 meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the corporation.

Section 2.4. Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned or recessed from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place for any reason or no reason by holders of a majority of the voting power of the corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person, present by means of remote communication (if any) or represented by proxy, though less than a quorum, or by the presiding person at such meeting, and, subject to the second succeeding sentence, notice need not be given of any such adjourned or recessed meeting (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication) if the time, date and place thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned or recessed 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 proxy holders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication or (iii) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with these bylaws. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, 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 is so fixed, the Board of Directors shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting.

Section 2.5. Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders the presence in person, presence by means of remote communication, if any, or representation by proxy of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, either the presiding person at such meeting or the stockholders so present, by a majority in voting power thereof, may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.4 of these bylaws until a quorum shall attend. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation, belonging to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, or belonging to any other entity, if a majority of the voting power of such other entity is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation or if such other entity is otherwise controlled, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the corporation or any subsidiary of the corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 2.6. Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chair of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the Chief Executive Officer, or in his or her absence by a director or officer of the corporation designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation, by a director or officer of the corporation chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the person presiding over the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 2.7. Voting; Proxies. Except as otherwise provided by law or the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock registered in such stockholder’s name on the books of the corporation which has voting power upon the matter in question. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy filed with the Secretary before or at the time of the

meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A 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. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary of the corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date. Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders may use any proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for exclusive use of the Board of Directors. Voting at meetings of stockholders may be cast in person, by means of remote communication (if any) or by proxy as provided in this Section 2.7. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the presiding person at a meeting of stockholders, in such officer’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot. All questions presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present (other than the election of directors, which is governed by the succeeding sentence of this Section 2.7 of these bylaws) shall, unless otherwise provided by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the corporation or its securities, be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the corporation which are present in person, present by means of remote communication (if any) or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. At each annual meeting of stockholders, members of the Board of Directors shall be elected by a “majority of votes cast” (as defined herein) to hold office until the next annual meeting, unless the election is contested, in which case directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes properly cast. An election shall be contested if (i) the Secretary receives a notice that a stockholder has nominated or intends to nominate a person for election to the Board of Directors in compliance with the requirements for stockholder nominees for director set forth in Section 2.12 of these bylaws and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such stockholder on or prior to the tenth (10th) day before the corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders. Stockholders shall be entitled to cast votes “against” nominees for director unless plurality voting applies in the election of directors. Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation (including resignation pursuant to this Section 2.7), disqualification or removal. For the purposes of this Section, a “majority of votes cast” means that the number of votes properly cast “for” a director exceeds the number of votes properly cast “against” that director, with abstentions and broker non-votes counting as votes neither “for” nor “against” such director’s election. Any current director who is a nominee for a member of the Board of Directors in an uncontested election who does not receive a majority of votes cast at such election shall promptly tender his or her resignation from the Board of Directors (the effectiveness of which shall be made subject to the acceptance thereof by the Board of Directors) following certification of the stockholder vote. Such director shall continue in office until such resignation is accepted or, if not accepted, such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified. The nominating or other similar committee of the Board of Directors shall assess the appropriateness of such nominee continuing to serve as a director and shall recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors shall act on the recommendation of the nominating or other similar committee of the Board of Directors and publicly disclose its decision and the reason for its decision. Any director who tenders a resignation pursuant to this provision shall not participate in the recommendation or deliberations of the nominating or other similar committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors regarding whether to accept the resignation of any director tendered pursuant to this provision or take other action with respect to such resignations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if directors who have tendered resignations constitute a majority of the directors then in office, then, with respect to each tendered resignation, all directors, other than the director who tendered the particular resignation under consideration, may participate in the deliberations and action regarding whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation or to take other action with respect thereto.

Section 2.8. Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or 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 of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date: (i) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting; and (ii) in the case of any other action (other than determining the stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders), shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such other action. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date 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. If no record date is fixed: (a) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or 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 notice is waived, at the Close of Business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (b) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the Close of Business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8 at the adjourned meeting.

Section 2.9. List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The corporation shall prepare, no later than the tenth (10th) day 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 for a period of 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 meeting or (ii) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the corporation.

Section 2.10. Inspectors of Election. The corporation may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may (unless otherwise required by applicable law) be employees of the corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated 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 to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the 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 of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

Section 2.11. Conduct of Meetings. 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 by the person presiding over the meeting. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the presiding person of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the presiding person of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; (vi) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (vii) removal of any stockholder or any other individual who refuses to comply with meeting rules, regulations or procedures; (viii) conclusion, recess or adjournment

of the meeting, regardless of whether a quorum is present, to a later date and time and at a place, if any, announced at the meeting; (ix) restrictions on the use of audio and video recording devices, cell phones and other electronic devices; (x) rules, regulations or procedures for compliance with any state and local laws and regulations including those concerning safety, health and security; (xi) procedures (if any) requiring attendees to provide the corporation advance notice of their intent to attend the meeting and (xii) any rules, regulations or procedures as the presiding person may deem appropriate regarding the participation by means of remote communication of stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication. The presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

Section 2.12. Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Other Business.

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. (1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (A) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, or (C) by any stockholder of the corporation who (i) was a stockholder of record of the corporation at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.12 is delivered to the Secretary of the corporation through the time of the annual meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.12.

To be in proper written form, such notice shall include all information required pursuant to Section 2.12, and such stockholder and any Proposed Nominee shall comply with Section 2.12, as if such notice were being submitted in connection with an annual meeting of stockholders.

(c) General. (1) Only such persons who are nominated by the Board of Directors or nominated by a stockholder in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.12 shall be eligible to be elected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation to serve as directors and only such other business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by the Board of Directors or by a stockholder in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.12. The number of Proposed Nominees a stockholder may include in a notice under this in this Section 2.12 may not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such meeting (based on public disclosure by the corporation prior to the date of such notice), and for the avoidance of doubt, no stockholder shall be entitled to identify any additional or substitute Proposed Nominees following the expiration of the time periods set forth in Section 2.12(a)(2) and Section 2.12(b), as applicable. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Board of Directors or the person presiding at the meeting of stockholders shall have the power and duty (a) to determine whether a nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.12 and (b) if any proposed nomination or other business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 2.12, to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed other business shall not be transacted, and no vote shall be taken with respect to such nomination or other business, in each case, notwithstanding that proxies with respect to such vote may have been received by the corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, if the Noticing Party (or a Qualified Representative of the Noticing Party) proposing a nominee for director or business to be conducted at a meeting does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation to present a nomination or other business, such proposed nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed other business shall not be transacted, as applicable, and no vote shall be taken with respect to such nomination or proposed business, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation.

(2) A Noticing Party shall update such Noticing Party’s notice provided under the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, if necessary, such that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct in all material respects as of (A) the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting and (B) the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting (or any postponement, rescheduling or adjournment thereof), and such update shall (I) be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation (x) not later than the Close of Business five (5) business days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of such meeting (in the case of an update required to be made under clause (A) of this Section 2.12(c)(2)) and (y) not later than the Close of Business seven (7) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any postponement, rescheduling or adjournment thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been postponed, rescheduled or adjourned) (in the case of an update required to be made pursuant to clause (B) of this Section 2.12(c)(2)), (II) be made only to the extent that information has changed in a material respect since such Noticing Party’s prior submission and (III) clearly identify the information that has changed in a material respect since such Noticing Party’s prior submission. For the avoidance of doubt, any information provided pursuant to this Section 2.12(c)(2) shall not be deemed to cure any deficiencies in a notice previously delivered pursuant to Section 2.12 and shall not extend the time period for the delivery of notice pursuant to this Section 2.12. If a Noticing Party fails to provide such written update within such period, the information as to which such written update relates may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 2.12.

(3) If any information submitted pursuant to this Section 2.12 by any Noticing Party nominating individuals for election or reelection as a director or proposing business for consideration at a stockholder meeting shall be inaccurate in any material respect (as determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof), such information shall be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 2.12. Any such Noticing Party shall notify the Secretary in writing at the principal executive offices of the corporation of any material inaccuracy or change in any information submitted pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including if any Noticing Party or any Stockholder Associated Person no longer intends to solicit proxies in accordance with the representation made pursuant to Section 2.12(a)(3)(G)(ii)) within two (2) business days after becoming aware of such inaccuracy or change, and any such notification shall clearly identify the material inaccuracy or change, it being understood that no such notification may cure any deficiencies or inaccuracies with respect to any prior submission by such Noticing Party. Upon written request of the Secretary on behalf of the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof), any such Noticing Party shall provide, within seven (7) business days after delivery of such request (or such other period as may be reasonably specified in such request), (A) written verification, reasonably satisfactory to the Board, any

committee thereof or any authorized officer of the corporation, to demonstrate the accuracy of any information submitted by such Noticing Party pursuant to this Section 2.12 and (B) a written affirmation of any information submitted by such Noticing Party pursuant to this Section 2.12 as of an earlier date. If a Noticing Party fails to provide such written verification or affirmation within such period, the information as to which written verification or affirmation was requested may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 2.12.

(4) If (A) any Noticing Party or any Stockholder Associated Person provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act with respect to any Proposed Nominee and (B)(1) such Noticing Party or Stockholder Associated Person subsequently either (x) notifies the corporation that such Noticing Party or Stockholder Associated Person no longer intends to solicit proxies in support of the election of such Proposed Nominee in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act or (y) fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act (or fails to timely provide reasonable evidence sufficient to satisfy the corporation that such Noticing Party or Stockholder Associated Person has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act in accordance with the following sentence) and (2) no other Noticing Party or Stockholder Associated Person that has provided notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Proposed Nominee (x) to the corporation’s knowledge based on information provided pursuant to Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act or these bylaws, still intends to solicit proxies in support of the election or reelection of such Proposed Nominee in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act and (y) has complied with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) and Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act and the requirements set forth in the following sentence, then the nomination of such Proposed Nominee shall be disregarded and no vote on the election or reelection of such Proposed Nominee shall occur (notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation). Upon request by the corporation, if any Noticing Party or any Stockholder Associated Person provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act, such Noticing Party shall deliver to the Secretary, no later than five (5) business days prior to the applicable meeting date, reasonable evidence that the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act have been satisfied.

(5) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.12; provided, however, that any references in these bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 2.12. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to affect any rights (A) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, (B) of stockholders to request inclusion of nominees in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to the Proxy Rules or (C) of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

(6) Any written notice, supplement, update or other information required to be delivered by a stockholder to the corporation pursuant to this Section 2.12 must be given by personal delivery, by overnight courier or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary at the corporation’s principal executive offices.

Emergency Bylaw

Section 10.1. Effective Time. This Emergency Bylaw shall become effective during any emergency, disaster or catastrophe, as referred to in Section 110 of the DGCL or other similar emergency condition (including a pandemic), as a result of which a quorum of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof cannot readily be convened for action and shall cease to be effective when such emergency no longer exists. This Emergency Bylaw may also become effective in the manner outlined in Section 10.5 of this Article.

Section 10.2. Management. In the event this Emergency Bylaw shall become effective, the business of the corporation shall continue to be managed by those members of the Board of Directors in office at the time the emergency arises who are available to act during the emergency. If less than three such directors are available to act, additional directors, in whatever number is necessary to constitute a Board comprised of three directors, shall be selected automatically from the first available officers or employees in the order provided in the emergency succession list established by the Board of Directors and in effect at the time an emergency arises.

Section 10.3. Unavailability of Directors. For the purposes of Sections 10.2 and 10.4(c) of this Article, a director shall be deemed unavailable to act if he or she shall fail to attend a directors’ meeting called in the manner provided in Section 10.4(a) of this Article. This section, however, shall not affect in any way the right of a director in office at the time an emergency arises to continue as a director.

Section 10.4. Procedures. The Board of Directors shall be governed by the following basic procedures and shall have the following specific powers in addition to all other powers which it would otherwise have.

(a) Meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by any director, or by the first available officer or employee in the order provided in the emergency succession list referred to in Section 10.2 of this Article. Notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors during such an emergency may be given only to such of the directors as it may be feasible to reach at the time and by such means as may be feasible at the time, including publication or radio.

(b) Three directors shall constitute a quorum which may in all cases act by majority vote.

(c) If the number of directors who are available to act shall drop below three, additional directors, in whatever number is necessary to constitute a Board of three directors, shall be selected automatically from the first available officers or employees in the order provided in the emergency succession list referred to in Section 10.2 of this Article.

(d) Additional directors, beyond the minimum number of three directors, but not more than three additional directors, may be elected from any officers or employees on the emergency succession list referred to in Section 10.2 of this Article.

(e) The Board of Directors may establish any additional procedures and may amend any of the provisions of this Article concerning the interim management of the affairs of the corporation in an emergency if it considers it to be in the best interests of the corporation to do so, except that it may not change Sections 10.3 or 10.4(e) of this Article in any manner which excludes from participation any person who was a director in office at the time an emergency arises.

(f) To the extent that it considers it practical to do so, the Board of Directors shall manage the business of the corporation during an emergency in a manner which is consistent with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and these bylaws. It is recognized, however, that in an emergency it may not always be practical to act in this manner and this Emergency Bylaw is intended to and hereby empowers the Board of Directors with the maximum authority possible under the DGCL, and all other applicable law, to conduct the interim management of the affairs of the corporation in an emergency in what it considers to be in the best interests of the corporation.

Section 10.5. Obvious Emergency. If an obvious defense emergency exists because of an enemy attack and, if by reason of the emergency, the government of the United States is itself unable to declare a state of national emergency as contemplated by Section 10.1 of this Article, then:

(a) A quorum of the Board of Directors pursuant to Article III of these bylaws may order the effectiveness of this Emergency Bylaw; or

(b) If a quorum of the Board of Directors pursuant to Article III of these bylaws is not present at the first Board of Directors meeting called, in the manner provided in Section 10.4(a) of this Article, after an emergency arises, then the provisions of this Emergency Bylaw shall automatically become effective and shall remain in effect until it is practical for a normally constituted Board of Directors to resume management of the business of the corporation.
