Section 4. Removal . Except as hereinafter provided, any director or directors may be removed either for or without cause at any time by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power entitled to vote for the election of directors, at an annual meeting or a special meeting called for the purpose, and the vacancy thus created may be filled, at such meeting, by the affirmative vote of holders of shares constituting a majority of the voting power of the Corporation. Section 5. Committees .

If at any meeting of the Board of Directors there shall be less than a quorum present, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is obtained, and no further notice thereof need be given other than by announcement at the meeting which shall be so adjourned. The vote of the majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors unless the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or these By-Laws shall require the vote of a greater number. Section 8. Compensation . Directors shall not receive any stated salary for their services as directors or as members of committees, but by resolution of the Board of Directors a fixed fee and expenses of attendance may be allowed for attendance at each meeting. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity as an officer, agent or otherwise, and receiving compensation therefor. Section 9. Action without Meeting . 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 a written consent thereto is signed by all members of the Board of Directors or of such committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or such committee.

Section 9. Corporate Seal . The corporate seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Corporation and the words “Corporate Seal, Delaware.” ARTICLE VI INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS Section 1. Nature of Indemnity . Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), or any appeal of such proceeding, by reason of or arising out of the fact that such person, or any other person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, manager, general partner, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so unless prohibited from doing so by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding), and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; but only if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be (in the case of such person’s official capacity) in the best interests of the Corporation or (in all other cases) not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and in addition, in the case of a criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; provided that, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article VI, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VI shall be a contract right and, subject to Sections 2 and 5 hereof, shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. 7 Section 2. Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers . Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation provided for under Section 1 of this Article VI or advance of expenses provided for under Section 5 of this Article VI shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the Corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI is required, and the Corporation fails to respond within sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the Corporation wrongfully denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not properly made within thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article VI shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. No officer or director will make any claim for indemnification against the Corporation by reason of the fact that he, she, or it was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee, or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses, including any advancement thereof, or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand brought by the Corporation against such officer or director (whether such action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand is pursuant to applicable law or otherwise). Section 3. Article Not Exclusive . The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Section 4. Insurance . The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article VI. 8 Section 5. Expenses . Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 1 of this Article VI in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of such proceeding’s final disposition unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer or other person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. Section 6. Employees and Agents . Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article VI and who are or were employees or agents of the Corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified, and may be advanced expenses, to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the Board of Directors. Section 7. Contract Rights . The provisions of this Article VI shall be deemed to be a vested contract right between the Corporation and each director and officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article VI and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect. Such contract right shall vest for each director and officer at the time such person is elected or appointed to such position, and no repeal or modification of this Article VI or any such law shall affect any such vested rights or obligations of any current or former director or officer with respect to any state of facts or proceeding regardless of when occurring. Section 8. Merger or Consolidation . For purposes of this Article VI, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article VI with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. ARTICLE VII AMENDMENTS These By-Laws may be altered, amended or repealed at any annual meeting of the stockholders (or at any special meeting thereof if notice of such proposed alteration, amendment or repeal to be considered is contained in the notice of such special meeting) by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares constituting a majority of the voting power of the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors may by majority vote of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is present alter, amend or repeal these By-Laws, or enact such other By-Laws as in their judgment may be advisable for the regulation and conduct of the affairs of the Corporation. 9 |

The Executive represents that, as of the date the Executive executes this Agreement, the Executive has not filed any complaints or charges or lawsuits against the Company or any other Released Party with any governmental agency or in any court. The Executive agrees that the Executive will not file in any court any lawsuits against the Company or any other Released Party regarding any Released Action at any time in the future; provided, however, this shall not limit the Executive from pursuing any claim or lawsuit not released by the Executive under this Agreement.

(e) Additional Consideration . The Executive acknowledges that certain of the payments and benefits described in Sections 2(b), 2(c), 2(d), and 2(f) are in addition to anything of value to which the Executive already is entitled from the Company and its affiliates and constitute good and valuable consideration for the release contained in this Section 3.

(h) Re-Execution of the Release . The Company’s obligations under Sections 2(b), 2(c), and 2(d) of this Agreement are strictly contingent upon the Executive’s re-execution and non-revocation of this Agreement within twenty-one (21) days following the Separation Date (the date of such re-execution, the “ Re-Execution Date ”). By re-executing this Agreement, the Executive advances to the Re-Execution Date the Executive’s general waiver and release of all claims against the Released Parties and the other covenants set forth in this Agreement.

Payment of the severance and other benefits described in Sections 2(b), 2(c), 2(d), and 2(f) shall be subject to (i) the Executive’s execution and re-executions (as applicable) and non-revocation of the general release of claims set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement (the “ Release ”) within the time period specified herein, and (ii) the Executive’s execution of the Restrictive Covenants set forth in Exhibit A hereto concurrently with the execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Release must first become effective, if at all, within sixty (60) days following the Separation Date.

The Executive agrees to provide full and complete disclosure in response to any inquiry in connection with any such matters. To the extent that the Company’s legal counsel is unable to represent the Executive in connection with any matter as to which the Executive’s cooperation is requested pursuant to this Section 7(b), the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the Executive’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred to obtain separate counsel on such matter. The Company shall (i) pay the Executive an hourly rate equal to the Executive’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the Separation Date divided by 2,080 for the Executive’s time spent following the conclusion of the Consulting Period and (ii) reimburse the Executive for other pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such cooperation, upon the presentation by the Executive of an itemized accounting of such expenditures, with supporting receipts. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Executive’s cooperation in any internal or external claims, investigations, proceedings, arbitrations, lawsuits or other legal, internal or business matters in a manner that would require the Executive to cooperate on issues legally adverse to any then-current employer of the Executive or adverse to the Executive’s own legal interests. 8.

The Executive shall not have the right or authority to assume or create any obligation or responsibility whatsoever, express or implied, on the Company’s behalf or in the Company’s name or to bind the Company in any respect whatsoever, nor shall the Executive represent that the Executive has such right or authority. 9. Termination of Consulting Period . Either party shall have the right to terminate the Consulting Period for any or no reason upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the other party. 10. General Provisions . (a) Integration .

The terms of this Agreement may be changed, modified or discharged only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. A failure of the Company or the Executive to insist on strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision or any other provision hereof. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. (b) Heirs and Assigns and Successors . This Agreement is binding on and is for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned by the Executive without the prior written consent of the Company.
