Section 2. Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation (“ Preferred Stock ”) with respect to such series, special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time only by (a) the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation (the “ Chief Executive Officer ”) or (b) the Secretary at the written request of the stockholders of record as of the Demand Record Date (as defined below) of not less than 25% (the “ Requisite Percentage ”) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting (the “ Requesting Group ”) pursuant to the procedures set forth below, and may be held at such place within or without the State of Delaware and on such date and at such time as shall be designated by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of said meeting. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a special 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 DGCL. The Board of Directors may submit its own proposal or proposals for consideration at a special meeting called at the request of one or more stockholders. 5 Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the Secretary or the Board of Directors or shall have otherwise been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the Secretary or the Board of Directors. The Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of stockholders previously called by any of them. No stockholder may demand that the Secretary call a special meeting of stockholders pursuant hereto unless a stockholder of record shall have first submitted a request in writing that the Board of Directors fix a record date (a “ Demand Record Date ”) for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to demand 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, a request by a stockholder for the Board of Directors to fix a Demand Record Date shall set forth: (a) as to each proposal to be considered at the special meeting, the information required in connection with such proposals pursuant to Section 1 of this Article II, or as to each director nominee, the information required of a director nominee pursuant to Section 2 of Article III, as the case may be; and (b) as to each Requesting Person (as defined below), the information required of a proposing stockholder pursuant to Section 1 of this Article II or Section 2 of Article III, as the case may be. Within 10 business days after receipt of a request to fix a Demand Record Date in proper form and in compliance with this Section 2 from any stockholder of record, the Board of Directors may adopt a resolution fixing a Demand Record Date for the purpose of determining the stockholders of record entitled to demand that the Secretary call a special meeting, which date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the Demand Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no resolution fixing a Demand Record Date has been adopted by the Board of Directors within such 10 business day-period, the Demand Record Date in respect thereof shall be deemed to be the close of business on the 20th business day after the date on which such a request is received. Without qualification, a special meeting of the stockholders shall not be called by the Secretary pursuant to this Section 2 unless stockholders of record who hold the Requisite Percentage as of the Demand Record Date timely provide one or more demands 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, a stockholder’s demand to call a special meeting must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the Corporation’s principal executive offices not later than the 60th day following the Demand Record Date. To be in proper form a demand to call a special meeting shall set forth: (a) as to each proposal to be considered at the special meeting, the information required in connection with such proposals pursuant to Section 2 of this Article II, or as to each director nominee, the information required of a director nominee pursuant to Section 2 of Article III, as the case may be; (b) with respect to any stockholder or stockholders and each beneficial owner submitting a demand to call a special meeting, any other information required to be provided pursuant to this Section 2 of a Requesting Person; and (c) a representation by each Requesting Person that such Requesting Person intends to hold his, her or its shares of the Corporation that constitute part of the Requisite Percentage as of the Demand Record Date through the date of the special meeting. A stockholder may revoke a demand to call a special meeting by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at any time prior to the special meeting. 6 If any such revocation(s) are received by the Secretary after the Secretary’s receipt of written demands from the holders of the Requisite Percentage of stockholders, and as a result of such revocation(s), at any time there no longer are unrevoked demands from the Requisite Percentage of stockholders to call a special meeting, the Board of Directors shall not be required to call and/or hold the special meeting. The Secretary shall not accept, and shall consider ineffective, a written demand from a stockholder to call a special meeting (a) that does not comply with this Section 2, (b) that relates to an item of business to be transacted at such meeting that is not a proper matter for stockholder action, (c) that is received by the Secretary during the Notice Time Periods as defined in Section 1 of this Article II, (d) that includes an item of business to be transacted at such meeting or nomination to be considered at such meeting that did not appear on the written request that resulted in the determination of the Demand Record Date, (e) that relates to an item of business that is identical or substantially similar to an item of business (a “ Similar Item ”) that was included in the Corporation’s notice (or any supplement thereto) as an item of business presented at any meeting of stockholders held within 120 days prior to receipt by the Secretary of the written demand, (f) if the Board of Directors calls an annual or special meeting of stockholders (in lieu of calling the special meeting to which the written demand relates), (g) if a Similar Item has been presented at the most recent annual meeting or at any special meeting held within one year prior to receipt by the Secretary of such demand to call a special meeting, or (h) such written demand was made in a manner that involves a violation of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act or other applicable law. However, it being understood that with respect to subsections (e) and (g) of this paragraph, the election of directors shall be deemed a “Similar Item” with respect to all items of business involving a proposal for the election of any director, but any proposal to remove any director or directors that is not accompanied with a proposal to elect one or more directors to fill any vacancy or vacancies resulting from such removal shall not be deemed a “Similar Item” with respect to the election of directors. After receipt of demands in proper form and in accordance with this Section 2 from a stockholder or stockholders holding the Requisite Percentage, the Secretary shall duly call, and determine the place, if any, date and time of, a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose or purposes and to conduct the business specified in the demands received by the Corporation. The record date for notice and voting for such a special meeting shall be fixed in accordance with Section 11 of this Article I, and the inspectors of the election shall be appointed pursuant to Section 9 of this Article I. The Board of Directors shall provide written notice of such special meeting to the stockholders in accordance with Section 4 of this Article I. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, the Board of Directors may (a) submit its own proposal or proposals for consideration at such a special meeting or (b) in lieu of calling the special meeting demanded by a stockholder or stockholders holding the Requisite Percentage, present a Similar Item for stockholder approval at any other meeting of stockholders that is held within 90 days after the date on which the Secretary receives a written demand for a special meeting in proper form from a stockholder or stockholders holding the Requisite Percentage. The requirements under Sections 2(c)(v), 2(c)(vi), 2(c)(vii), 2(c)(viii) and 2(c)(ix) of Article III shall apply to a request to fix a Demand Record Date, a demand to call a special meeting and each Requesting Person, mutatis mutandis . In addition, each time a Requesting Person’s ownership position decreases following the delivery of information to the Secretary, such Requesting Person shall notify the Corporation of the decreased ownership position, together with any information reasonably requested by the Board of Directors to verify such ownership position, within 10 days of such decrease or as of the 5th day before the special meeting, whichever is earlier. 7 Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, if the Board of Directors shall determine that any request to fix a Demand Record Date for a special meeting or any demand to call and hold a special meeting in respect of the request resulting in such Demand Record Date, was not properly made in accordance with this Section 2, or shall determine that the stockholder or stockholders requesting that the Board of Directors fix such Demand Record Date or submitting such a demand have not otherwise complied with this Section 2, then the Board of Directors shall not be required to fix such record date or to call and hold the special meeting. For purposes of this Section 2, “ Requesting Person ” shall mean (i) the stockholder of record making the request to fix a Demand Record Date for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to demand that the Secretary call a special meeting, (ii) each member of the Requesting Group, (iii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf such request is made, and (iv) any Associated Person of such stockholder or beneficial owner, but shall exclude any stockholder or beneficial owner that has provided such demand solely in response to a solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act by way of a solicitation statement filed on Schedule 14A. Section 3. Stockholder Action . Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. Section 5. Quorum and Adjournment . A quorum at any meeting of stockholders shall consist of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting, except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of stock is required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on such matter, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. 8 Regardless of whether there is an absence of a quorum at any meeting or any adjournment thereof, the chair of the meeting may adjourn or recess such meeting from time to time. At any such adjourned or recessed meeting at which a quorum is present any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. If any meeting of stockholders is adjourned or recessed to reconvene at a later time or date or different place, no notice need 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 and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present and vote at such adjourned or recessed meeting, are (a) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment or recess is taken, (b) 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 (c) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with these Bylaws, provided that if any adjournment, whether a quorum is present or not, 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 of record entitled to vote at the meeting. Section 6. Organization . The Chair of the Board of Directors, any Vice Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or a Vice President, or if none of the foregoing is present, such person as may be chosen by the Board of Directors, or if there are not remaining directors serving, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at such meeting, shall call to order any meeting of the stockholders and act as chair of the meeting. The Secretary, or in his or her absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as Secretary of every meeting, but if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, the chair of the meeting shall choose any person present to act as secretary of the meeting. The chair of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the matters to be voted upon by the stockholders, the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in order. The Board of Directors may adopt such rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with these Bylaws or such rules, regulations and procedures as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chair of the meeting shall have the power to convene and (for any and no reason) to recess or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chair are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of such meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chair of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (c) rules, regulations and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (d) 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 chair of the meeting shall determine; (e) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; (f) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; (g) removal of any stockholder or any other individual who refuses to comply with meeting rules, regulations or procedures; (h) the conclusion, recess or adjournment of the meeting, regardless of whether a quorum is present; (i) restrictions on the use of audio and video 9 recording devices, cell phones and other electronic devices; (j) rules, regulations or procedures for compliance with any state or local laws or regulations including those concerning safety, health and security; and (k) any rules, regulations or procedures as the chair 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 chair of a meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate regarding the conduct of the meeting, shall determine whether a matter of business was not properly brought before the meeting, and, if the chair should so determine, the chair shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter of business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting. No ballots, proxies or votes, nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors or the chair of the meeting after the closing of the polls unless the Delaware Court of Chancery upon application by a stockholder shall determine otherwise. Section 7. Voting . Except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, at every meeting of stockholders, each stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder having voting power upon the matters in question. Any vote with respect to the capital stock of the Corporation may be cast by the stockholder entitled to vote in person or by his or her proxy. A proxy may be authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law and shall be filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting. A proxy, unless coupled with an interest, shall be revocable at will, notwithstanding any other agreement or any provision in the proxy to the contrary, but the revocation of a proxy shall not be effective until notice thereof has been given to the Secretary of the Corporation. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person (including by means of remote communication, if applicable) or by delivering to the Secretary a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date. A proxy shall not be revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless, before the authority is exercised, written notice of such death or incapacity is given to the Secretary. A duly executed 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 proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether or not the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, in all matters other than the election of directors, the vote of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter. 10 Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, at each meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors, each nominee’s election as a director shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast with respect to such nominee by the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on such nominee; provided , however , that, if the number of nominees for election as director at such meeting exceeds the number of directors to be elected at such meeting (a “ contested election ”), directors shall be elected at such meeting by a plurality of the votes of the shares represented in person or by proxy at such meeting. For purposes of the foregoing, a majority of the votes cast with respect to a nominee means that the number of votes cast “for” such nominee’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” such nominee’s election. If a nominee for election as a director who is not an incumbent director does not receive a majority of the votes cast in an election that is not a contested election, such nominee shall not be elected. If an incumbent director who is a nominee for election as a director does not receive a majority of the votes cast in an election that is not a contested election, the incumbent director shall tender his or her resignation in writing to the Chair of the Board of Directors promptly following certification of the election results which resignation will be conditioned upon acceptance by the Board of Directors. The Governance Committee of the Board of Directors shall evaluate each such resignation tendered and shall recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept or reject each such resignation. The Board of Directors shall act on each such resignation, taking into account the recommendation of the Governance Committee, within 90 days following the certification of the election results. Upon making its determination, the Board of Directors shall promptly disclose (i) its decision whether to accept or reject the incumbent director’s tendered resignation and (ii) if rejected, the reasons for rejecting the tendered resignation. The Governance Committee, in making its recommendation, and the Board of Directors, in making its decision, may consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate and relevant. If a director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, then such director shall continue to serve as a director, except as required by law. Section 8. List of Stockholders . At least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the Secretary shall prepare and make a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting ( provided , however , that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of the stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 8 of Article II shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 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 the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours , at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. 11 Section 9. Inspectors of Election . Unless otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law, or determined by the chair of the meeting to be advisable, the vote upon any matter need not be by ballot. In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors shall appoint one or more inspectors of election, who need not be stockholders and who may be employees of the Corporation or one or more of its subsidiaries, to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof and make a written report thereof. The Board of Directors may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chair of any such meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability.

Section 2. Number, Qualification, Election and Terms . Subject to any rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, the number of directors which shall constitute the Board of Directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

If, however, each member of the Governance Committee did not receive the required majority pursuant to Section 7 of Article II in the same uncontested election, then the Board of Directors will appoint a committee comprised solely of independent directors who either did not stand for reelection or did receive the required majority in that election to consider each tendered resignation and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors with respect thereto.

ARTICLE X INDEMNIFICATION Section 1. Right to Indemnification . Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter, a “ proceeding ”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter, an “ indemnitee ”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided , however , that, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article X with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses or with respect to any compulsory counterclaim brought by such indemnitee, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. Any reference to an officer of the Corporation in this Article X shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Treasurer and the Secretary of the Corporation appointed pursuant to Article IV, and to any Vice President, Assistant Treasurer, Assistant Secretary or other officer of the Corporation appointed by the Board of the Directors pursuant to Article IV, and any reference to an officer of any other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer elected by the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of such other enterprise. The fact that any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other enterprise has been given or has used the title of “Vice President” or any other title that could be construed to suggest or imply that such person is or may be an officer of the Corporation or of such other enterprise shall not result in such person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, an officer of the Corporation or of 29 such other enterprise for purposes of this Article X unless such person’s appointment to such office was approved by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article IV or by the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of such other enterprise. Section 2. Right to Advancement of Expenses . In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 1 of this Article X, an indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition or in connection with a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article X (which shall be governed by Section 3 of this Article X (hereinafter, an “ advancement of expenses ”)); provided , however , that, if the DGCL requires or in the case of an advance made in a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee pursuant to this Section 2 in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made solely upon the delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter, an “ undertaking ”), which the delivery of an indemnification agreement shall satisfy, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter, a “ final adjudication ”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or entitled to advancement of expenses under Section 1 of this Article X and this Section 2 or otherwise. Section 3. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit . If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within (i) 60 days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Corporation or (ii) 30 days after a claim for an advancement of expenses has been received by the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or to obtain advancement of expenses, as applicable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if the indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in any such suit or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article X or otherwise shall be on the Corporation. 30 Section 4. Indemnification Not Exclusive . The provision of indemnification to or the advancement of expenses to any indemnitee under this Article X, or the entitlement of any indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article X, shall not limit or restrict in any way the power of the Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses to such indemnitee in any other way permitted by law or be deemed exclusive of, or invalidate, any right to which any indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law, certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such indemnitee’s capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Corporation and as to action in any other capacity. Section 5. Nature of Rights . The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article X shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article X that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal. Section 6. Insurance . The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL. Section 7. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation . The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article X with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation. 31 |
