Bylaws, an annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such time and date in
each year as the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, if any, or the President may from
time to time determine. The annual meeting in each year shall be held at such place within or
without the State of Delaware as may be fixed by the Board of Directors, or if not so fixed, at

Section 2.2 Special Meetings. A special meeting of the holders of stock of
the Corporation entitled to vote on any business to be considered at any such meeting may be called
only by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or the President, and shall be called by the Chairman of
the Board, if any, or the President or the Secretary when directed to do so by resolution of the
Board of Directors or at the written request of directors representing a majority of the total
number of directors which the Corporation would at the time have if there were no vacancies (the

Section 2.3 Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or
permitted to take any action at a meeting, unless notice is waived as provided in Section 8.1 of
these Bylaws, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, date and
hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the
meeting is called.
Unless otherwise provided by law, and except as to any stockholder duly waiving notice, the
written notice of any meeting shall be given personally or by mail, not less than ten nor more than
sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such
meeting. If mailed, notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid,
directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the
adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the
adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which
might have been transacted at the original meeting. If, however, the adjournment is for more than
thirty (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 2.4 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law or by the
Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, at any meeting of stockholders the holders of a
majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereat, either present or represented by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business, but the stockholders present,
although less than a quorum, may adjourn the meeting to another time or place and, except as
provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.3 of these Bylaws, notice need not be given of the
adjourned meeting.
Section 2.5 Voting. Whenever directors are to be elected at a meeting, they
shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting by the holders of stock entitled
to vote. Whenever any corporate action, other than the election of directors, is to be taken by
vote of stockholders at a meeting, it shall, except as otherwise required by law or by the
Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, be authorized by a majority of the votes cast with
respect thereto at the meeting (including abstentions) by the holders of stock entitled to vote
thereon.
Except as otherwise provided by law, or by the Certificate of Incorporation, each holder of
record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on any matter at any meeting of stockholders
shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such stock standing in the name of such holder on
the stock ledger of the Corporation on the record date for the determination of the stockholders
entitled to vote at the meeting.
Upon the demand of any stockholder entitled to vote, the vote for directors or the vote on any
other matter at a meeting shall be by written ballot, but otherwise the method of voting and the
manner in which votes are counted shall be discretionary with the presiding officer at the meeting.

Section 2.6 Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of
stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may
authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy, but no such proxy shall be
voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
Every proxy shall be signed by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney.
Section 2.7 List of Stockholders. The officer who has charge of the stock
ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days 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, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least
ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be
held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the
place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and
place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is
present.
The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine
the stock ledger, the list required by this Section or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in
person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.8 Written Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting. Any action
required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the GCL) to be taken at any
annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or any action which may be taken at
any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior
notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be
signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that
would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to
vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt written notice of the taking of the corporate action
without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who
have not consented in writing. Any such written consent may be given by one or any number of
substantially concurrent written instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
stockholders, in person or by attorney or proxy duly appointed in writing, and filed with the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation. Any such written consent shall be
effective as of the effective date thereof as specified therein, provided that such date is not
more than sixty (60) days prior to the date such written consent is filed as aforesaid, or, if no
such date is so specified, on the date such written consent is filed as aforesaid.

Section 3.1 Number of Directors. The Board of Directors shall consist of
three (3) directors until changed as provided in this Section. The number of directors may be
changed at any time and from time to time by vote at a meeting or by written consent of the holders
of stock entitled to vote on the election of directors, except that no decrease shall shorten the
term
3
of any incumbent director unless such director is specifically removed pursuant to Section 3.5
of these Bylaws at the time of such decrease.
Section 3.2 Election and Term of Directors. Directors shall be elected
annually, by election at the annual meeting of stockholders or by written consent of the holders of
stock entitled to vote thereon in lieu of such meeting. If the annual election of directors is not

thereafter as convenient. Each director shall hold office from the time of his or her election and
qualification until his successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation,
or removal.
Section 3.3 Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Vacancies and newly
created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be
filled by election at a meeting of stockholders or by written consent of the holders of stock
entitled to vote thereon in lieu of a meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, vacancies and
such newly created directorships may also be filled by a majority of the directors then in office,
although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
Section 3.4 Resignation. Any director may resign at any time upon written
notice to the Corporation. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein
or, if the time be not specified, upon receipt thereof, and the acceptance of such resignation,
unless required by the terms thereof, shall not be necessary to make such resignation effective.
Section 3.5 Removal. Any or all of the directors may be removed at any time,
with or without cause, by vote at a meeting or by written consent of the holders of stock entitled
to vote on the election of directors.
Section 3.6 Meetings. Meetings of the Board of Directors, regular or
special, may be held at any place within or without the State of Delaware. Members of the Board of
Directors, or of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting
of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each
other, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such
meeting. An annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held after each annual election of
directors. If such election occurs at an annual meeting of stockholders, the annual meeting of the
Board of Directors shall be held at the same place and immediately following such meeting of
stockholders, and no further notice thereof need be given other than these Bylaws. If an annual
election of directors occurs by written consent in lieu of the annual meeting of stockholders, the
annual meeting of
the Board of Directors shall take place as soon after such written consent is duly filed with the
Corporation as is practicable, either at the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors or at a
special meeting. The Board of Directors may fix times and places for additional regular meetings
of the Board of Directors and no notice of such meetings need be given. A special meeting of the
Board of Directors shall be held whenever called by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or by the
President or by at least one-third of the directors for the time being in office, at such time and
place as shall be specified in the notice or waiver thereof. Notice of each special meeting shall
be given by the Secretary or by a person calling the meeting to each director by mailing the same,
postage prepaid, not later than
4
the second day before the meeting, or personally or by telegraphing
or telephoning the same not later than the day before the meeting.
Section 3.7 Quorum and Voting. A whole number of directors equal to at least
a majority of the Whole Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but if
there be less than a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors, a majority of the directors
present may adjourn the meeting from time to time, and no further notice thereof need be given
other than announcement at the meeting which shall be so adjourned. Except as otherwise provided
by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the vote of a majority of the
directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of
Directors.
Section 3.8 Written Consent of Directors in Lieu of a 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 all members of the Board of Directors or of such
committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed
with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or such committee.
Section 3.9 Compensation. Directors may receive compensation for services to
the Corporation in their capacities as directors or otherwise in such manner and in such amounts as
may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Section 3.10 Committees of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors
may from time to time, by resolution passed by a majority of the Whole Board, designate one or more
committees, each committee to consist of one or more directors of the Corporation. Any such
committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may
exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business
and affairs of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided by law. Unless otherwise provided by
the Board of Directors, a majority of any such committee (or the member thereof, if only one) shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the members of
such committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such
committee. Each such committee shall keep a record of its acts and proceedings and shall report
thereon to the Board of Directors whenever requested so to do. Any or all members of any such
committee may be removed, with or without cause, by resolution of the Board of Directors, passed by
a majority of the whole Board.

Officers, Agents and Employees
Section 4.1 Appointment and Term of Office. The officers of the Corporation may
include a President, a Secretary and a Treasurer, and may also include a Chairman of the Board.

offices, subject to the specific provisions of this Article IV, together with such other powers and
duties as from time to time may be conferred by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof.
Any number of such offices may be held by the same person. Except as may be prescribed otherwise
by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof in a particular case, all such officers shall hold
their offices at the pleasure of the Board of Directors for an unlimited term and need not be
reappointed annually or at any other periodic interval. The Board of Directors may appoint, and
may delegate power to appoint, such other officers, agents and employees as it may deem necessary

perform such duties as may from time to time be determined by or pursuant to authorization of the
Board of Directors.
Section 4.2 Resignation and Removal. Any officer may resign at any time upon
written notice to the Corporation. Any officer, agent or employee of the Corporation may be
removed by the Board of Directors, or by a duly authorized committee thereof, with or without cause
at any time. The Board of Directors or such a committee thereof may delegate such power of removal
as to officers, agents and employees not appointed by the Board of Directors or such a committee.
Such removal shall be without prejudice to a persons contract rights, if any, but the appointment
of any person as an officer, agent or employee of the Corporation shall not of itself create
contract rights.
Section 4.3 Compensation and Bond. The compensation of the officers of the
Corporation shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, but this power may be delegated to any
officer in respect of other officers under his or her control.
Section 4.4 Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board, if there be
one, shall preside at all meetings of stockholders and of the Board of Directors, and shall have
such other powers and duties as may be delegated to him or her by the Board of Directors.

the Corporation. In the absence of the Chairman of the Board (or if there be none), he or she
shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders and of the Board of Directors. He or she shall
have general charge of the business affairs of the Corporation. He or she may employ and discharge
employees and agents of the Corporation, except such as shall be appointed by the Board of
Directors, and he or she may delegate these powers. The President may vote the stock or other
securities of any other domestic or foreign corporation of any type or kind which may at any time
be owned by the Corporation, may execute any stockholders or other consents in respect thereof and
may in his or her discretion delegate such powers by executing proxies, or otherwise, on behalf of
the Corporation. The Board of Directors by resolution from time to time may confer like powers upon
any other person or persons.

Section 4.6 Treasurer. The Treasurer shall have charge of all funds and
securities of the Corporation, shall endorse the same for deposit or collection when necessary and
deposit the same to the credit of the Corporation in such banks or depositaries as the Board of

Corporation. He or she shall have all such further powers and duties as generally are incident to
the position of Treasurer or as may be assigned to him or her by the President or the Board of
Directors.
Section 4.7 Secretary. The Secretary shall record all the proceedings of the
meetings of the stockholders and directors in a book to be kept for that purpose and shall also
record therein all action taken by written consent of the stockholders or directors in lieu of a
meeting. He or she shall attend to the giving and serving of all notices of the Corporation. He
or she shall have custody of the seal of the Corporation and shall attest the same by his or her
signature whenever required. He or she shall have charge of the stock ledger and such other books
and papers as the Board of Directors may direct, but he or she may delegate responsibility for
maintaining the stock ledger to any transfer agent appointed by the Board of Directors. He or she
shall have all such further powers and duties as generally are incident to the position of
Secretary or as may be assigned to him or her by the President or the Board of Directors.
Section 4.11 Delegation of Duties. In case of the absence of any officer of
the Corporation, or for any other reason that the Board of Directors may deem sufficient, the Board
of Directors may confer for the time being the powers or duties, or any of them, of such officer
upon any other officer or upon any director.
ARTICLE V
Indemnification and Insurance
Indemnification and Insurance
Section 5.1 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 or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was a
director or an officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as
a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to any employee benefit plan (hereinafter
an indemnitee), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as
a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director,
officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the
fullest extent authorized by the GCL, 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, without limitation, attorneys fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or
penalties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and amounts paid
or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection therewith;
provided, however, that except as provided in Section 5.3 with respect to
proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such
indemnitee seeking indemnification
7
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.
Section 5.2 Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification
conferred in Section 5.1 shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses
(including attorneys fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition (hereinafter an advancement of expenses); provided, however, that, if
the GCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a
director or officer (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 only
upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an undertaking), 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 for such expenses under this
Section 5.2 or otherwise.
Section 5.3 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 5.1
or Section 5.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim
has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses,
in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the indemnitee may at any time
thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If
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 of an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense
that, and (ii) in 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 GCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board
of Directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such action that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances
because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the GCL, nor an
actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal
counsel or 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 V or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
Section 5.4 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the
advancement of expenses conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which
any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of
8
Incorporation, provision of these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
Section 5.5 Insurance. The Corporation may 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 GCL.
Section 5.6 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 rights to the advancement of expenses, to any employee or agent of the
Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article V with respect to the
indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.
Section 5.7 Contract Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the
advancement of expenses conferred in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 shall be contract rights and such
rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitees heirs, executors and administrators.
ARTICLE VI
Common Stock
Common Stock
Section 6.1 Certificates. Certificates for stock of the Corporation shall be in
such form as shall be approved by the Board of Directors and shall be signed in the name of the
Corporation by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or the President, and by the Treasurer or the
Secretary. Such certificates may be sealed with the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile
thereof. Any of or all the signatures on a certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer,
transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a
certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such
certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she
were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
Section 6.2 Transfers of Stock. Transfers of stock shall be made only upon
the books of the Corporation by the holder, in person or by duly authorized attorney, and on the
surrender of the certificate or certificates for the same number of shares, properly endorsed. The
Board of Directors shall have the power to make all such rules and regulations, not inconsistent
with the Certificate of Incorporation and these Bylaws and the GCL, as the Board of Directors may
deem appropriate concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for stock of the
Corporation. The Board of
Directors may appoint one or more transfer agents or registrars of transfers, or both, and may
require all stock certificates to bear the signature of either or both.
Section 6.3 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Corporation may issue
a new stock certificate in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have
been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or
destroyed certificate or his or her legal representative to give the Corporation a bond sufficient
to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft
or
9
destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate. The Board of
Directors may require such owner to satisfy other reasonable requirements as it deems appropriate
under the circumstances.
Section 6.4 Stockholder Record Date. In order that the Corporation may
determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any
adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, 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 on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the
Board of Directors, and which shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten (10) days before the
date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.
If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, (l) 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 date 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, (2) the
record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be at the
close of business on the day on which the first written consent is expressed by the filing thereof
with the Corporation as provided in Section 2.8 of these Bylaws, and (3) 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.
Only such stockholders as shall be stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or to give such
consent, or to receive payment of such dividend or other distribution, or to exercise such rights
in respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of stock, or to participate in such action,
as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Corporation after
any record date so fixed.
