(a) Meetings of the stockholders of the corporation

of Directors, or, if not so designated, then at the office of the
corporation required to be maintained pursuant to Section 2 of

(b) The Board of Directors may, in its sole
discretion, determine that stockholder meetings shall not be held

communication in accordance with Section 211(a)(2) of the
Delaware General Corporation Law. If authorized by the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines
and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders
and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of
stockholders may, by means of remote communication (a)
participate in a meeting of stockholders; and (b) be deemed
present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether
such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by
means of remote communication, provided that (i) the corporation
shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person
deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of
remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder; (ii) the
corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such
stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to
participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to
the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the
proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such
proceedings; and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or
takes other action at the meeting by means of remote
communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be
maintained by the corporation.
Section 2. Annual Meetings. The annual meetings of
the stockholders of the corporation for the purpose of election
of directors, and for such other business as may lawfully come
before them, shall be held on such date and at such time as may
be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors, but in
no event more than fifteen (15) months after the date of the
preceding annual meeting.
Section 3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the
stockholders of the corporation may be called, for any purpose or
purposes, by the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive
Officer or the Board of Directors at any time.
Section 4. Notice of Meetings.
(a) Except as otherwise provided by law or the
Certificate of Incorporation, written notice (as the term
"written" is defined in Article XII hereof) of each meeting of
stockholders, specifying the place, if any, date and hour of the
meeting; the means of remote communications, if any, by which
stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in
person and vote at such meeting; and the purpose or purposes of
the 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 thereat, directed to the
stockholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Article X hereof. Notice shall be deemed to have been given to
all stockholders of record who share an address if notice is
given in accordance with the "householding" rules set forth in
Rule 14a-3(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended ("Exchange Act").
(b) If at any meeting action is proposed to be taken
which, if taken, would entitle stockholders fulfilling the
requirements of Section 262(d) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law to an appraisal of the fair value of their
shares, the notice of such meeting shall contain a statement of
that purpose and to that effect and shall be accompanied by a
copy of that statutory section.
(c) When a meeting is adjourned to another time or
place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the
time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote
communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders
may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting,
are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken
unless the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or unless
after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the
adjourned meeting, in which event a notice of the adjourned
meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to
vote at the meeting.
(d) Notice of the time, place and purpose of any
meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, either before
or after such meeting, and to the extent permitted by law, will
be waived by any stockholder by his attendance thereat, in person
or by proxy. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting
shall be bound by the
proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice
thereof had been given.
(e) Unless and until voted, every proxy shall be
revocable at the pleasure of the person who executed it or of his
legal representatives or assigns, except in those cases where an
irrevocable proxy permitted by statute has been given.
Section 5. Quorum and Voting.
(a) At all meetings of stockholders, except where
otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or
these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly
authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business. Shares, the voting of which at said
meeting have been enjoined, or which for any reason cannot be
lawfully voted at such meeting, shall not be counted to determine
a quorum at said meeting. In the absence of a quorum, any
meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, by
vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented
thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such
meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present
or represented, any business may be transacted which might have
been transacted at the original meeting. The stockholders
present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum
is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave
less than a quorum.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by law, the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, all action taken by
the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at any
meeting at which a quorum is present shall be valid and binding
upon the corporation.
Section 6. Voting Rights.
(a) Except as otherwise provided by law, only persons
in whose names shares entitled to vote stand on the stock records
of the corporation on the record date for determining the
stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting shall be entitled to
vote at such meeting. Shares standing in the names of two (2) or
more persons shall be voted or represented in accordance with the
determination of the majority of such persons, or, if only one
(1) of such persons is present in person or represented by proxy,
such person shall have the right to vote such shares and such
shares shall be deemed to be represented for the purpose of
determining a quorum.
(b) Every person entitled to vote or execute consents
shall have the right to do so either in person or by an agent or
agents authorized by a written proxy executed by such person or
his duly authorized agent, which proxy shall be filed with the
Secretary of the corporation at or before the meeting at which it
is to be used. Said proxy so appointed need not be a
stockholder. No proxy shall be voted on after three (3) years
from its date unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
Section 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 said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the
address of and the number of shares registered in the name of
each stockholder. Nothing contained in Section 219 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law 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 ten (10) days prior to the
meeting, either (a) 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 (b)
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.
If the meeting is to be held at a place, the list shall 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. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote
communication, the list shall also be open to the examination of
any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a
reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information
required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of
the meeting.
Section 8. Nominations and Stockholder Business.
(a) Nominations of persons for election to the Board
of Directors of the corporation and the proposal of business to
be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual
meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to the corporation's notice
of meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors,
or (c) by any stockholder of the corporation who is a stockholder
of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this
section, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied
with the notice procedures set forth in this section.
(b) For nominations or other business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to
this section, the stockholder must have given timely notice
thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation, and such
business must be a proper subject for stockholder action under
the Delaware General Corporation Law. To be timely, a
stockholder's notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the
principal executive offices of the corporation (if delivered by
electronic mail or facsimile, the stockholder's notice shall be
directed to the Secretary at the electronic mail address or
facsimile number, as the case may be, specified in the company's
most recent proxy statement) not less than forty-five (45) days
nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date on
which the corporation first mailed its proxy materials for the
prior year's annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however,
that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced
by more than thirty (30) days or delayed (other than as a result
of adjournment) by more than thirty (30) days from the
anniversary of the previous year's annual meeting, notice by the
stockholder to be timely must be delivered not later than the
close of business on
the later of the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such annual meeting
or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public
announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Such
stockholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom
the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection
as a director all information relating to such person that is
required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election
of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to
Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person's
written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a
nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (b) as to any
other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the
meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be
brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such
business at the meeting and any material interest in such
business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on
whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the stockholder
giving the notice and the beneficial owners if any on whose
behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and
address of such stockholder, as they appear on the corporation's
books, and of such beneficial owner, and (ii) the class and
number of shares of the corporation which are owned beneficially
and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this section to the
contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected
to the Board of Directors of the corporation is increased and
there is no public announcement specifying the size of the
increased Board of Directors made by the corporation at least
seventy (70) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding
year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice required by this
section shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to
nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it
shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive
offices of the corporation not later than the close of business
on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public
announcement is first made by the corporation.
(d) Only such business shall be conducted at a special
meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the
meeting pursuant to the corporation's notice of meeting.
Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may
be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors
are to be elected pursuant to the corporation's notice of meeting
(a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) by
any stockholder of the corporation who is a stockholder of record
at the time of giving of notice provided for in this section, who
is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the
notice procedures set forth in this section. Nominations by
stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors
may be made at such a special meeting of stockholders if the
stockholder's notice required by this section shall be delivered
to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
corporation (if delivered by electronic mail or facsimile, the
stockholder's notice shall be directed to the Secretary at the
electronic mail address or facsimile number, as the case may be,
specified in the company's most recent proxy statement) not
earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such
special meeting and not later than the close of business on the
later of the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such special meeting or
the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public
announcement is first made of
the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by
the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.
(e) Only those persons who are nominated in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this section shall be eligible
for election as directors at any meeting of stockholders. Only
such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as
shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this section. The chairman of the
meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a
nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the
meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in
this section and, if any proposed nomination or business is not
in compliance with this section, to declare that such defective
proposal shall be disregarded.
(f) For purposes of this section, "public
announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported
by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable
national news service or in a document publicly filed by the
corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant
to Section 9, 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
section, 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.
Nothing in this section shall be deemed to affect any rights of
stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the
corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the
Exchange Act.
ARTICLE III
Directors
Section 1. Number and Term of Office. The number of

whose place shall be vacant, and until his successor shall have
been duly elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board of
Directors shall be deemed to exist under this section in the case

directors are to be elected (including any meeting referred to in
Section 4 below) to elect the number of directors then
constituting the whole Board.
Section 4. Resignations and Removals.
(a) Any director may resign at any time by delivering

receipt by the Secretary or at the pleasure of the Board of
Directors. If no such specification is made, it shall be deemed
effective at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. When one
(1) or more directors shall resign from the Board, effective at a
future date, a majority of the directors then in office,
including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill
such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when
such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each
director so chosen shall hold office for the unexpired portion of
the term of the director whose place shall be vacated and until
his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

the outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of
directors.
Section 5. Meetings.
(a) Except as hereinafter otherwise provided, regular
meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held in the office of
the corporation required to be maintained pursuant to Section 2
of Article I hereof. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors
may also be held at any place within or without the State of

Directors or the written consent of all directors. Notice of
regular meetings of the directors is hereby dispensed with and no
notice whatever of any such meetings need be given.
(b) Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be
held at any time and place within or without the State of
Delaware whenever called by the Chairman of the Board, or by the
Chief Executive Officer (if a director) or by any two of the
directors.
(c) Written notice of the time and place of all
special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be delivered to
each director at least twenty-four (24) hours before the start of
the meeting, or if sent by first class mail, at least seventy-two
(72) hours before the start of the meeting. Notice of any
meeting may be waived in writing at any time before or after the
meeting and will be waived by any director by attendance thereat.
Section 6. Quorum and Voting.
(a) A quorum of the Board of Directors shall consist
of a majority of the exact number of directors fixed from time to
time in accordance with Section 1 of Article III of these Bylaws,
but not less than one (1); provided, however, at any meeting

directors present may adjourn from time to time until the time
fixed for the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors,
without notice other than by announcement at the meeting.
(b) At each meeting of the Board at which a quorum is
present, all questions and business shall be determined by a vote
of a majority of the directors present, unless a different vote
be required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these
Bylaws.
(c) Any member of the Board of Directors, or of any
committee thereof, may participate in a meeting by means of
conference telephone or other communication 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.
(d) The transactions of any meeting of the Board of
Directors, or any committee thereof, however called or noticed,
or wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting
duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present
and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors
not present shall deliver to the corporation a written waiver of
notice, or a consent to holding such meeting, or an approval of
the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents or approvals
shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the
minutes of the meeting.
Section 7. Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise
restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws,
any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of
the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken
without a meeting, if all members of the Board or of such
committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and
such writing or writings are filed with the minutes of
proceedings of the Board or committee. Such filing shall be in
paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form or shall
be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic
form.
Section 8. Fees and Compensation. Directors may
receive compensation for their services as directors as
determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Nothing
herein contained shall be construed to preclude any
director from serving the corporation in any other capacity as an
officer, agent, employee or otherwise, and receiving compensation
therefor.
Section 9. Committees.
(a) Executive Committee: The Board of Directors may
appoint an Executive Committee of not less than one (1) member,
each of whom shall be a director. The Executive Committee, to
the extent permitted by Delaware law, these Bylaws, the Executive
Committee Charter or other resolutions of the Board of Directors,
shall have and may exercise, when the Board of Directors is not
in session, all powers of the Board of Directors in the
management of the business and affairs of the corporation,
including, without limitation, the power and authority to declare
a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock, except such
committee shall not have the power or authority to (a) approve or
adopt, or recommend to the corporation's stockholders, any action
or matter expressly required by the Delaware General Corporation
Law to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (b) adopt,
amend or repeal any bylaw of the corporation.
(b) Other Committees: The Board of Directors may
appoint such other committees as may be permitted by law. Such
other committees appointed by the Board of Directors shall have
such powers and perform such duties as may be prescribed by the
resolution or resolutions creating such committee, but in no
event shall any such committee have the powers denied to the
Executive Committee in these Bylaws.
(c) Term: The members of all committees of the Board
of Directors shall serve a term coexistent with that of the Board
of Directors which shall have appointed such committee. The
Board, subject to the provisions of subsections (a) or (b) of
this section, may at any time increase or decrease the number of
members of a committee or terminate the existence of a committee;
provided that no committee shall consist of less than one (1)
member. The membership of a committee member shall terminate on
the date of his death or voluntary resignation, but the Board may
at any time for any reason remove any individual committee member
and the Board may fill any committee vacancy created by death,
resignation, removal or increase in the number of members of the
committee. The Board of Directors may designate one (1) or more
directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace
any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the
committee, and, in addition, in the absence or disqualification
of any member of a committee, the member or members thereof
present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether
or not the member or members constitutes a quorum, may
unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to
act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or
disqualified member.
(d) Meetings: Unless the Board of Directors shall
otherwise provide, regular meetings of the Executive Committee or
any other committee appointed pursuant to this section shall be
held at such times and places as are determined by the Board of
Directors, or by any such committee, and when notice thereof has
been
given to each member of such committee, no further notice of such
regular meetings need be given thereafter; special meetings of
any such committee may be called by any director who is a member
of such committee, upon written notice to the members of such
committee of the time and place of such special meeting given in
the manner provided for the giving of written notice to members
of the Board of Directors of the time and place of special
meetings of the Board of Directors. Notice of any special
meeting of any committee may be waived in writing at any time
before or after the meeting and will be waived by any director by
attendance thereat. A majority of the authorized number of
members of any such committee shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business, and the act of a majority of those
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the
act of such committee.
Section 10: Emergency Bylaws. In the event of any
emergency, disaster or catastrophe, as referred to in Section 110
of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or other similar
emergency condition, as a result of which a quorum of the Board
of Directors or a standing committee of the Board cannot readily
be convened for action, then the director or directors in
attendance at a meeting shall constitute a quorum. Such director
or directors in attendance may further take action to appoint one
(1) or more of themselves or other directors to membership on any
standing or temporary committees of the Board as they shall deem
necessary and appropriate.

determine the method and designate the signatory officer or

execution or signature shall be binding upon the corporation.

ARTICLE VI
Shares of Stock
Section 1. Form and Execution of Certificates.
Certificates for the shares of stock of the corporation shall be
in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of
Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock in the
corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or
in the name of the corporation by, the Chairman of the Board, or
by the Chief Executive Officer, or by the President or any Vice
President and by the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the
Secretary or
Assistant Secretary, certifying the number of shares owned by him
in the corporation. Any or all of the signatures on the
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 with the same effect as if he or she
were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of
issue. If the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than
one class of stock or more than one series of any class, the
powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series
thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of
such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or
summarized on the face or back of the certificate which the
corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of
stock, provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202
of the Delaware General Corporation Law, in lieu of the foregoing
requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the
certificate which the corporation shall issue to represent such
class or series of stock, a statement that the corporation will
furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the
powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series
thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of
such preferences and/or rights.
Section 2. Lost Certificates. The Board of Directors
may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in
place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by
the corporation alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon the
making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the
certificate of stock to be lost or destroyed. When authorizing
such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of
Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to
the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost or destroyed
certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to
indemnify the corporation in such manner as it shall require
and/or to give the corporation a surety bond in such form and
amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may
be made against the corporation with respect to the certificate
alleged to have been lost or destroyed.
Section 3. Transfers. Transfers of record of shares
of stock of the corporation shall be made only upon its books by
the holders thereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized,
and upon the surrender of a certificate or certificates for a
like number of shares, properly endorsed.
Section 4. Fixing Record Dates.
(a) 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, 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 shall not be
more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date
of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of
Directors, 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 date on which the meeting
is held. 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.
(b) In order that the corporation may determine the
stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders
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, and which record
date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action.
If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining
stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of
business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the
resolution relating thereto.
Section 5. Registered Stockholders. The corporation
shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person
registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive
dividends, and to vote as such owner, and shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not
it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as
otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.
ARTICLE VII
Other Securities of the Corporation
All bonds, debentures and other corporate securities of
the corporation, other than stock certificates, may be signed by
the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or the
President or any Vice President or such other person as may be
authorized by the Board of Directors and the corporate seal
impressed thereon or a facsimile of such seal imprinted thereon
and attested by the signature of the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary, or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer; provided,
however, that where any such bond, debenture or other corporate
security shall be authenticated by the manual signature of a
trustee under an indenture pursuant to which such bond, debenture
or other corporate security shall be issued, the signature of the
persons signing and attesting the corporate seal on such bond,
debenture or other corporate security may be the imprinted
facsimile of the signatures of such persons. Interest coupons
appertaining to any such bond, debenture or other corporate
security, authenticated by a trustee as aforesaid, shall be
signed by the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer of the
corporation, or such other person as may be authorized by the
Board of Directors, or bear imprinted thereon the facsimile
signature of such person. In case any officer who shall have
signed or attested any bond, debenture or other corporate
security, or whose facsimile signature shall appear thereon,
shall have ceased to be such officer of the corporation before
the bond, debenture or other corporate security so signed or
attested shall have been delivered, such bond, debenture or other
corporate security nevertheless may be adopted by the corporation
and issued and
delivered as though the person who signed the same or whose
facsimile signature shall have been used thereon had not ceased
to be such officer of the corporation.
ARTICLE VIII
Corporate Seal
The corporation shall have a common seal, upon which
shall be inscribed:
"Intel Corporation
Incorporated March 1, 1989
Delaware"
In the event the corporation changes its name, the
corporate seal shall be changed to reflect such new name. Any
corporate instrument or document requiring the corporate seal may
be executed as provided in Article V of these Bylaws, and the
corporate seal shall be applied by the Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary.
ARTICLE IX
Indemnification of
Officers, Directors, Employees and Agents
Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is
involved (as a party, witness, or otherwise), in any threatened,
pending, or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternative
dispute mechanism, inquiry, administrative or legislative
hearing, investigation or any other actual, threatened or
completed proceeding, including any and all appeals, 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, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation
(including service with respect to employee benefit plans) or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, whether
the basis of the 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 (hereafter an "Agent"), shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended or interpreted (but, in the case of any such
amendment or interpretation, only to the extent that such
amendment or interpretation permits the corporation to provide
broader indemnification rights than were permitted prior thereto)
against all expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and
amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and any interest,
assessments, or other charges imposed thereon, and any federal,
state, local, or foreign taxes imposed on any Agent as a result
of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this
Article) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in
connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, or
participating in (including on appeal), or preparing for
any of the foregoing in, any Proceeding (hereinafter "Expenses");
provided, however, that except as to actions to enforce
indemnification rights pursuant to Section 3 of this Article, the
corporation shall indemnify any Agent seeking indemnification in
connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
person only if the Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by
the Board of Directors of the corporation. The right to
indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract
right.
Section 2. Authority to Advance Expenses. Expenses
incurred by an officer or director (acting in his capacity as
such) in defending a Proceeding shall be paid by the corporation
in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, provided,
however, that if required by the Delaware General Corporation
Law, as amended, such Expenses shall be advanced only upon
delivery to the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of
such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be
indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article or
otherwise. Expenses incurred by other Agents of the corporation
(or by the directors or officers not acting in their capacity as
such, including service with respect to employee benefit plans)
may be advanced upon such terms and conditions as the Board of
Directors deems appropriate. Any obligation to reimburse the
corporation for Expense advances shall be unsecured and no
interest shall be charged thereon.
Section 3. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a
claim under Section 1 or 2 of this Article is not paid in full by
the corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim has
been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time
thereafter bring suit, in a court of competent jurisdiction in
the state of Delaware, against the corporation to recover the
unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in
part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense
(including attorneys' fees) of prosecuting such claim. It shall
be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to
enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding
in advance of its final disposition where the required
undertaking has been tendered to the corporation) that the
claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it
permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the
corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed.
The burden of proving such a 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 under the
circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor
an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board
of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders)
that the claimant had 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.
Section 4. Provisions Nonexclusive. The rights
conferred on any person by this Article shall not be exclusive of
any other rights that such person may have or hereafter acquire
under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise, both as to
action in an official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding such office. To the extent that any
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, agreement, or vote
of the stockholders or disinterested directors is inconsistent
with these Bylaws, the provision, agreement, or vote shall take
precedence.
Section 5. Authority to Insure. The corporation may
purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any Agent
against any Expense, whether or not the corporation would have
the power to indemnify the Agent against such Expense under
applicable law or the provisions of this Article.
Section 6. Survival of Rights. The rights provided by
this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be
an Agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of such a person.
Section 7. Settlement of Claims. The corporation
shall not be liable to indemnify any Agent under this Article (a)
for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim
effected without the corporation's written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (b) for any judicial award
if the corporation was not given a reasonable and timely
opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of
such action.
Section 8. Effect of Amendment. Any amendment,
repeal, or modification of this Article shall not adversely
affect any right or protection of any Agent existing at the time
of such amendment, repeal, or modification.
Section 9. Subrogation. In the event of payment under
this Article, the corporation shall be subrogated to the extent
of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Agent,
who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything
that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the
execution of such documents necessary to enable the corporation
effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
Section 10. No Duplication of Payments. The
corporation shall not be liable under this Article to make any
payment in connection with any claim made against the Agent to
the extent the Agent has otherwise actually received payment
(under any insurance policy, agreement, vote, or otherwise) of
the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.
ARTICLE X
Notices
(a) Whenever, under any provisions of these Bylaws,
notice is required to be given to any stockholder, the same shall
be given in writing, either (a) timely and duly deposited in the
United States Mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to the
stockholder's last known post office address as shown by the
stock record of the corporation or its transfer agent or (b) by a
form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder
to whom the notice is given, except to the extent prohibited by
Section 232(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Any
consent to receive notice by electronic transmission shall be
revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the
corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the
corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two
(2) consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance
with such consent and (ii) such inability becomes known to the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation or to the
transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of
notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such
inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or
other action.
(b) Any notice required to be given to any director
may be given by the method hereinabove stated. Any such notice,
other than one which is delivered personally, shall be sent to
such post office address, facsimile number or electronic mail
address as such director shall have filed in writing with the
Secretary of the corporation, or, in the absence of such filing,
to the last known post office address of such director. It shall
not be necessary that the same method of giving notice be
employed in respect of all directors, but one (1) permissible
method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any
other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of
any other or others.
(c) If no post office address of a stockholder or
director be known, such notice may be sent to the office of the
corporation required to be maintained pursuant to Section 2 of
Article I hereof. An affidavit executed by a duly authorized and
competent employee of the corporation or the transfer agent or
other agent of the corporation appointed with respect to the
class of stock affected, specifying the name and post office
address or the names and post office addresses of the stockholder
or stockholders, director or directors, to whom any such notice
or notices was or were given, and the time and method of giving
the same (or, for any stockholder or director to whom notice has
been directed by electronic transmission, the form of electronic
transmission and the facsimile number, electronic mail address or
other location to which such notice was directed and the time at
which such notice was directed to each such director or
stockholder), shall be prima facie evidence of the statements
therein contained.
(d) All notices given by mail, as above provided,
shall be deemed to have been given as at the time of mailing.
All notices given to stockholders by a form of electronic
transmission, as above provided, shall be deemed to have been
given: (a) if by facsimile, when directed to a number at which
the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (b) if by
electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at
which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (c) if by
a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice
to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of
(i) such posting and (ii) the giving of such separate notice; and
(d) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when
directed to the stockholder. All notices given to directors by a
form of electronic transmission, as above provided, shall be
deemed to have been given when directed to the electronic mail
address, facsimile number, or other location filed in writing by
the director with the Secretary of the corporation.
(e) The period or limitation of time within which any
stockholder may exercise any option or right, or enjoy any
privilege or benefit, or be required to act, or within which any
director may exercise any power or right, or enjoy any privilege,
pursuant to any notice sent him in the manner above provided,
shall not be affected or extended in any manner by the failure of
such a stockholder or such director to receive such notice.
(f) Whenever any notice is required to be given under
the provisions of the statutes or of the Certificate of
Incorporation, or of these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing
given by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether
before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed
equivalent thereto.
(g) Whenever notice is required to be given, under any
provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws
of the corporation, to any person with whom communication is
unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be
required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental
authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice
to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or
held without notice to any such person with whom communication is
unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice
had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the
corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate
under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is
required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to
receive notice except such persons with whom communication is
unlawful.
(h) Whenever notice is to be given to the corporation
by a stockholder under any provision of law or of the Certificate
of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, such notice shall
be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices
of the corporation. If delivered by electronic mail or
facsimile, the stockholder's notice shall be directed to the
Secretary at the electronic mail address or facsimile number, as
the case may be, specified in the company's most recent proxy
statement.
ARTICLE XI

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation, these Bylaws may be repealed, altered or amended
or new Bylaws adopted at any meeting of the stockholders, either
annual or special, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
stock entitled to vote at such meeting. The Board of Directors
shall also have the authority to repeal, alter or amend these
Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws (including, without limitation, the
amendment of any Bylaws setting forth the number of directors who
shall constitute the whole Board of Directors) by unanimous
written consent or at any annual, regular, or special meeting by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole number of
directors, subject to the power of the stockholders to change or
repeal such Bylaws and provided that the Board of Directors shall
not make or alter any Bylaws fixing the qualifications,
classifications, term of office or compensation of directors.
ARTICLE XII
Electronic Transmission
When used in these Bylaws, the terms "written" and "in writing"
shall include any "electronic transmission," as defined in
