As Amended through August 8, 2019

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.1: Location of Stockholder Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

Section 1.2: Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, for the purpose of election of directors and for such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting, shall be held on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. If no annual meeting is held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, a special meeting may be held in lieu of the annual meeting, and any action taken at that special meeting shall have the same effect as if it had been taken at the annual meeting, and in such case all references in these Bylaws to the annual meeting of the stockholders shall be deemed to refer to such special meeting.

Section 1.3: Special Meetings.

(a)Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes by resolution of the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Business transacted at any special meeting called pursuant to this Section 1.3(a) shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of the special meeting.

(b)Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be called by the Board of Directors upon written request to the Secretary of the Corporation (a “Stockholder Special Meeting Request”) by one or more stockholders of record or beneficial owners (the “Requesting Stockholders”) that (i) own, in the aggregate, at least 15% (the “Requisite Percent”) of the Corporation’s outstanding

shares entitled to vote on the matter or matters to be brought before the proposed special meeting; and (ii) comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.3 with respect to any matter that is a proper subject for the meeting pursuant to Section 1.3(d). Except as set forth in this Section 1.3 or as otherwise required by law, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may not be called by any other person or persons. For purposes of satisfying the Requisite Percent under this Section 1.3, “own”, “owning” and “owned” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.6(d), below.

(c)Any Stockholder Special Meeting Request shall (i) be in writing, signed and dated by each Requesting Stockholder, (ii) set forth the purpose of calling the special meeting and include the information required by Section 1.5(c)(i) and Section 1.5(c)(iii) (for nominations for the election to the Board of Directors) and the information required by Section 1.5(c)(ii) and Section 1.5(c)(iii) (for the proposal of business other than nominations), (iii) include an agreement by each Requesting Stockholder to promptly notify the Secretary of the Corporation in the event of any decrease in the shares owned by such Requesting Stockholder following the delivery of such Stockholder Special Meeting Request and prior to the special meeting; provided that in the event of any such decrease, such Requesting Stockholders’ special meeting request shall be deemed to have been revoked if, as a result of such decrease, the Requesting Stockholders no longer own the Requisite Percent; and (iv) be delivered personally or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Corporation at the Corporation’s principal executive offices. After receiving a Stockholder Special Meeting Request, the Board of Directors shall determine in good faith whether the Requesting Stockholders have satisfied the requirements set forth in these Bylaws, which determination shall be conclusive and binding, and the Corporation shall notify the Requesting Stockholders of the Board of Directors’ determination. If the Board of Directors determines that the Stockholder Special Meeting Request satisfies the requirements set forth in these Bylaws, the Board of Directors shall determine the date, time and place of the special meeting; provided that such special meeting shall not be more than ninety (90) days after the date on which the Board of Directors determines that the Stockholder Special Meeting Request satisfies the requirements set forth in these Bylaws. The Board of Directors shall also set a record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such special meeting in the manner set forth in Section 1.11. The Corporation will provide the Requesting Stockholders with notice of such record date. Each Requesting Stockholder is required to update the information required by this Section 1.3(c), (i) as of a date within five (5) business days after such record date, and (ii) as of a date within five (5) business days before the date of the special meeting to which the Stockholder Special Meeting Request relates. In addition, the Requesting Stockholders shall provide such other information as the Corporation may reasonably request within ten (10) business days after such a request.

(d)A Stockholder Special Meeting Request shall not be valid, and the Board of Directors shall not call a special meeting if (i) the Stockholder Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law, or that involves a violation of applicable law; (ii) the Stockholder Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is the same or substantially similar (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) to an item of business that was presented at a meeting of the stockholders occurring within ninety (90) days preceding the earliest date of signature on the Stockholder Special Meeting Request; (iii) the Stockholder Special Meeting Request is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation during the period commencing ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders (the “Anniversary”) and ending on the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders; (iv) two or more special meetings have been called at the request of stockholders and convened within the 12-month period ending on earliest date of signature on the Stockholder Special Meeting Request; or (v) either the Stockholder Special Meeting Request or the Requesting Stockholders do not comply with the requirements of this Section 1.3.

(e)Any Requesting Stockholder may revoke a request for a special meeting at any time by written revocation delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation. If, as a result of any such revocation(s), there are no longer valid, unrevoked requests from stockholders of record or beneficial owners who own, in the aggregate, the Requisite Percent, there shall be no requirement for the Board of Directors to call such special meeting or to hold such special meeting regardless of whether notice of such special meeting has been sent and/or proxies solicited for such special meeting.

(f)Business transacted at any special meeting requested by stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes validly stated in the Stockholder Special Meeting Request for such special meeting; provided that the Board of Directors may, in their discretion, include additional matters in the notice for such special meeting and such additional business shall be transacted at such special meeting. If none of the Requesting Stockholders appear at, or send a duly authorized representative to, the special meeting to present the matters for consideration that were specified in the Stockholder Special Meeting Request, the Corporation need not present such matters for a vote at such special meeting regardless of whether proxies have been solicited with respect to such matters. The Board of Directors may adjourn, postpone, reschedule or, if in accordance with these Bylaws, cancel any special meeting previously scheduled pursuant to this Section 1.3.

Section 1.4: Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise required herein or provided by law, notice of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given to stockholders, any notice shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to, in a manner consistent with Delaware law, by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Notices of

all meetings of stockholders shall state the place, if any, date and time of the meeting and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting. The notice of a special meeting of stockholders shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

Section 1.5: 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: (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of such meeting (or any supplement thereto); (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving the stockholder’s notice provided for in Section 1.5(b) and (c) below, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.5 or (iv) by any stockholder or beneficial owner or group of stockholders or beneficial owners that complies with Section 1.6(c) of these Bylaws. Except for nominations or proposals made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), and included in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors and nominations in compliance with Section 1.6 of these Bylaws, the foregoing clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make any nomination or to propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders.

(b)At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such nominations will be considered and such other business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 1.5(a) of these Bylaws, (i) the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation, and (ii) such other business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under the DGCL. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to the Anniversary; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the Anniversary, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) 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. In no event shall the adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting, or the public disclosure thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. To be in

proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation must set forth the information required in paragraph (c) of this Section 1.5.

(c)Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth:

(i)as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, (A) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, 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 a proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected and information necessary for the Board of Directors to determine whether such proposed nominee is eligible to serve as a director of the Corporation, and whether such nominee qualifies as an “independent director” or “audit committee financial expert” under applicable law, securities exchange rule or regulation, or any publicly-disclosed corporate governance guideline or committee charter of the Corporation, and (B) a statement as to whether such person, if elected and in accordance with the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, intends to tender, promptly following such person’s election or re-election, an irrevocable resignation effective upon such person’s failure to receive the required vote for re-election at the next meeting at which such person would face re-election;

(ii)as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, (B) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration), (C) the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, and (D) any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and

(iii)as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (A) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (B) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner and by each associate (as defined in paragraph (g) of this Section 1.5) of the stockholder or beneficial owner as of the date of the notice, and a representation that the stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing within five (5) business days after the record date for such meeting of the class and number of shares of the Corporation beneficially owned by such stockholder or beneficial owner and by each associate as of the record date for the meeting, (C) a representation as to whether either such stockholder or

beneficial owner will engage in a solicitation with respect to such nomination or proposal and, if so, the name of each participant (as defined in Item 4 of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act) in such solicitation and whether such person or group intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a proposal, at least the percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, a sufficient number of holders of the Corporation’s voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees, (D) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) with respect to the nomination or other business between or among such stockholder or beneficial owner and any other person, including without limitation any agreements that would be required to be described or reported pursuant to Item 5 or Item 6 of Schedule 13D (regardless of whether the requirement to file a Schedule 13D is applicable to the stockholder or beneficial owner) and a representation that the stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing within five (5) business days after the record date for such meeting of any such agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares, regardless of whether settled in shares or cash) that has been entered into as of the date of the stockholder’s notice by, or on behalf of, such stockholder or beneficial owner, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss, manage risk or benefit from changes in the share price of any class of the Corporation’s capital stock, or increase or decrease the voting power of the stockholder or beneficial owner with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, including the notional number of shares that are the subject of such agreement, arrangement or understanding, and a representation that the stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing within five (5) business days after the record date for such meeting or any such agreement, arrangement or understanding in effect as of the record date for the meeting, (E) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) between or among such stockholder or beneficial owner and any other person relating to acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any shares of stock of the Corporation, including the number of shares that are the subject of such agreement, arrangement or understanding, and a representation that the stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing within five (5) business days after the record date for such meeting of any such agreement, arrangement or understanding in effect as of the record date for the meeting, and (F) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, such stockholder’s and beneficial owner’s written consent to the public disclosure of information provided pursuant to this Section 1.5(c).

(d)Notwithstanding anything in Section 1.5 of these Bylaws 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 naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least sixty (60) days prior to the Anniversary, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 1.5 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.

(e)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 (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving notice provided for in these Bylaws who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.5 or (iii) in the case of a special meeting called pursuant to a valid Stockholder Special Meeting Request, by any stockholder of the Corporation pursuant to Section 1.3 above. For nominations by stockholders of persons for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting to be eligible for consideration at the meeting, the stockholder’s notice required by this Section 1.5 must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) 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. In no event shall the adjournment or postponement of a special meeting, or the public disclosure thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws, in the case of a stockholder-requested special meeting, no stockholder may nominate a person for election to the Board of Directors or propose any other business to be considered at the meeting, except pursuant to the Stockholder Special Meeting Request delivered pursuant to Section 1.3.

(f)Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.3 (with respect to a special meeting called pursuant to a valid Stockholder Special Meeting Request), this Section 1.5 or Section 1.6 shall be eligible to be elected to serve as directors of the Corporation. Only such business shall be conducted at an annual or special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.3 (with respect to a special meeting called pursuant to a valid Stockholder Special Meeting Request) or this Section 1.5. Except as otherwise provided by law or these Bylaws, 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, or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance

with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded.

(g)For purposes of these Bylaws, “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 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The term “associate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 14a-1(a) under the Exchange Act and shares shall be treated as “beneficially owned” by a person if a person (i) beneficially owns such shares, directly or indirectly, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulations 13D and 13G thereunder, or (ii) has or shares pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) (A) the right to acquire such shares (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the fulfillment of a condition or both), (B) the right to vote such shares, alone or in concert with others, and/or (C) investment power with respect to such shares, including the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, such shares.

(h)The requirements of this Section 1.5 shall not apply to a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his or her intention to present a non-binding (precatory) stockholder proposal at an annual meeting pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. With respect to any other matter proposed to be presented pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 14a-8, (i) the notice required by this Section 1.5 shall be considered timely if delivered within the time period specified in Rule 14a-8(e) and (ii) the person proposing to have such matter presented at the meeting shall provide the information required by paragraph (c) of this Section 1.5, provided that the information required by paragraph (c) of this Section 1.5 may be satisfied by providing the information required pursuant to Rule 14a-8(b).

(i)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.5, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this Section 1.5. Nothing in these Bylaws 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 (or any successor thereto) under the Exchange Act.

Section 1.6: Proxy Access for Director Nominations.

(a)The Corporation will include in its proxy statement and on its form of proxy for an annual meeting of stockholders, the name of, and the Required Information relating to, any nominee for election or reelection to the Board of Directors who satisfies the eligibility requirements of this Section 1.6 (a

(iii)“Required Information” means (A) the information set forth in the Schedule 14N provided with the Stockholder Notice concerning each Stockholder Nominee and the Eligible Stockholder that the Corporation determines is required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s proxy materials; and (B) if the Eligible Stockholder so elects, a written statement of the Eligible Stockholder not to exceed five hundred (500) words, in support of its Stockholder Nominee, which must be provided at the same time as the Stockholder Notice for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement.

(iii)File with the SEC any solicitation or other communication by or on behalf of the Eligible Stockholder relating to the annual meeting, one or more of the Corporation’s directors or director nominees or any Stockholder Nominee, regardless of whether any such filing is required under Exchange Act Regulation 14A or whether any exemption from filing is available for such solicitation or other communication under Exchange Act Regulation 14A.

(iv)As to any Stockholder Group, within five (5) business days after the date of the Stockholder Notice, provide documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation demonstrating that the number of stockholders within such Stockholder Group does not exceed twenty (20), including whether a group of funds qualifies as one stockholder or beneficial owner within the meaning of Section 1.6(c)(iv).

The information provided pursuant to this Section 1.6(f) shall be deemed part of the Stockholder Notice for purposes of this Section 1.6.

(g)Stockholder Nominee Requirements

(i)Within the time period specified in Section 1.6(e)(v) for delivery of the Stockholder Notice, the Stockholder Nominee shall deliver to the Secretary a written representation and agreement (which shall be deemed part of the Stockholder Notice) signed by each Stockholder Nominee and representing and agreeing that such Stockholder Nominee:

(A)is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement, or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such Stockholder Nominee, if elected as a director, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) other than any Voting Commitment that is disclosed to the Corporation or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such individual’s ability to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law;

(ii)At the request of the Corporation, the Stockholder Nominee must promptly, but in any event within five (5) business days after such request, submit all completed and signed questionnaires required of the Corporation’s directors and provide to the Corporation such other information as it may reasonably request. The Corporation may also request such additional information as necessary to permit the Board to determine if each Stockholder Nominee satisfies the requirements of this Section 1.6.

(h)Allowable Stockholder Nominees

(i)The maximum number of Stockholder Nominees that may be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 1.6 at the annual meeting shall not exceed the greater of (A) two or (B) twenty percent (20%) of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which a Stockholder Notice may be delivered pursuant to this Section 1.6 with respect to the annual meeting, or if such amount is not a whole number, the closest whole

number (rounding down) below twenty percent (20%) (such maximum number of Stockholder Nominees, the “Permitted Number”).

(A)the number of Stockholder Nominees whose name was submitted for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 1.6 but is either subsequently withdrawn;

(B)the number of Stockholder Nominees that the Board of Directors decides to nominate as a Board nominee;

(C)directors in office who had been nominated and included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 1.6 at any of the preceding two (2) annual meetings and who are re-nominated for election by the Board of Directors; and

(iii)In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs after the deadline in Section 1.6(e)(v) for delivery of the Stockholder Notice but before the annual meeting and the Board resolves to reduce the size of the Board in connection therewith, the Permitted Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.

(iv)In the event that the number of Stockholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Stockholders pursuant to this Section 1.6 exceeds the Permitted Number (as calculated in accordance with this Section 1.6(h)), the Corporation shall determine which Stockholder Nominees shall be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials in accordance with the following provisions: each Eligible Stockholder will select one Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials until the Permitted Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of the Corporation each Eligible Stockholder disclosed as Owned in its respective Stockholder Notice submitted to the Corporation. If

the Permitted Number is not reached after each Eligible Stockholder has selected one Stockholder Nominee, this selection process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Permitted Number is reached.

(v)Following the determination of which Stockholder Nominee(s) shall be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials, if thereafter any Stockholder Nominee is not submitted for director election for any reason (including the Eligible Stockholder’s or the Stockholder Nominee’s failure to comply with this Section 1.6), no other nominee or nominees shall be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials in substitution thereof.

(i)Exclusion and Omission of Stockholder Nominees

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.6, the Corporation may omit from its proxy materials any Stockholder Nominee, and such nomination shall be disregarded and no vote on such Stockholder Nominee will occur, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation, if:

(A)the Eligible Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee breaches any of its respective agreements, representations, or warranties set forth in the Stockholder Notice (or otherwise submitted pursuant to this Section 1.6), any of the information in the Stockholder Notice (or otherwise submitted pursuant to this Section 1.6) was not, when provided, true, correct and complete, or the requirements of this Section 1.6 have otherwise not been met;

(B)the Stockholder Nominee (1) is not independent under any applicable listing standards, any applicable rules of the SEC, and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board in determining and disclosing the independence of the Corporation’s directors, (2) does not qualify as independent under audit committee independence requirements set forth under any applicable listing standards, as a “non-employee director” under Exchange Act Rule 16b-3, or as an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, (3) is or has been, within the past three years, an officer or director of a competitor, as defined in Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, as amended, (4) is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) or has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) within the past ten years or (5) is subject to any order of the type specified in Rule 506(d) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

(C)the election of the Stockholder Nominee to the Board would cause the Corporation to violate its Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or any applicable law, rule, regulation or listing standard; or

(D)the Corporation has received a notice (whether or not subsequently withdrawn) that a stockholder or beneficial owner intends to nominate any candidate for election to the Board pursuant to the advance notice requirements for nominees for director in Section 1.5 of these Bylaws.

(ii)Any Stockholder Nominee who is included in the Corporation’s proxy materials for an annual meeting of stockholders but either (A) withdraws from or becomes ineligible or unavailable for election at the annual meeting for any reason, including for the failure to comply with any provision of these Bylaws (provided that in no event shall any such withdrawal, ineligibility or unavailability commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Stockholder Notice) or (B) does not receive a number of votes cast in favor of his or her election at least equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote in the election of directors, will be ineligible to be a Stockholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 1.6 for the next two (2) annual meetings.

(j)Additional Provisions

(i)The Board of Directors (and any other person or body authorized by the Board) shall have the power and authority to interpret this Section 1.6 and to make any and all determinations necessary or advisable to apply this Section 1.6 to any persons, facts or circumstances. Any such interpretation or determination adopted in good faith by the Board (or any other person or body authorized by the Board) shall be binding on all persons, including the Corporation and its stockholders (including any beneficial owners).

(ii)Unless otherwise required by law or otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, if the Eligible Stockholder (or a qualified representative of the Eligible Stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting to present its Stockholder Nominee or Stockholder Nominees, such nomination or nominations shall be disregarded, and no vote on such Stockholder Nominee or Stockholder Nominees shall occur, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of the election of the Stockholder Nominee or Stockholder Nominees may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 1.6(j)(ii), to be considered a “qualified representative” of the Eligible Stockholder, a person must be authorized by a writing

executed by such Eligible Stockholder (or an electronic transmission delivered by such Eligible Stockholder) to act for such Eligible Stockholder as proxy at the annual meeting and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the annual meeting.

(iii)In the event that any information or communications provided by the Eligible Stockholder or any Stockholder Nominees to the Corporation or its stockholders is not, when provided, or thereafter ceases to be, true, correct and complete in all material respects (including omitting a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading), such Eligible Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Secretary and provide the information that is required to make such information or communication true, correct, complete and not misleading; it being understood that providing any such notification shall not be deemed to cure any defect or limit the Corporation’s right to omit a Stockholder Nominee from its proxy materials as provided in this Section 1.6.

(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.6, the Corporation may omit from its proxy materials any information or statement (or portion of it) that it, in good faith, believes would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or listing standard. Nothing in this Section 1.6 shall limit the Corporation’s ability to solicit against and include in its proxy materials its own statements or other information relating to any Eligible Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee.

This Section 1.6 shall be the exclusive method for stockholders and beneficial owners to include nominees for director election in the Corporation’s proxy materials.

Section 1.7: Quorum and Required Vote.

(a)At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute, the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another place, if any, date or time. 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 statute or by applicable stock exchange or Nasdaq rules, or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares entitled to be cast on the matter, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and voting for or against the matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

(c)Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a nominee for director shall be elected by the majority of the votes cast of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that, a nominee for director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors if (i) the Secretary of the Corporation receives a notice that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board of Directors in compliance with the requirements for stockholder nominees for directors set forth in Section 1.3 (with respect to a special meeting called pursuant to a valid Stockholder Special Meeting Request), Section 1.5 or Section 1.6 of these Bylaws, and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such stockholder or excluded pursuant to the terms of these Bylaws on or prior to the tenth (10th) day preceding the date on which the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders. For purposes of the election of directors, a “majority of the votes cast” means that the number of shares voted “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director (a “Majority Vote”). If directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, stockholders shall not be permitted to vote against a nominee. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Except as described above with respect to the election of directors, or where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class or classes or series entitled to be cast on the matter, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and voting for or against the matter shall be the act of such class or classes or series.

(d)If a director fails to receive a Majority Vote in an election in which directors are required to be elected by the majority of the votes cast, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will consider whether the director has, in accordance with the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, previously submitted an irrevocable resignation contingent upon (i) his or her failure to receive a Majority Vote and (ii) acceptance by the Board of Directors of such

resignation and, if so, will recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the Committee’s recommendation within ninety (90) days from the date of the certification of the election results and will publicly disclose its decision promptly thereafter.

Section 1.8: Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time by the chairman of the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, 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 the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the place, if any, date and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 1.9: Organization.

(a)Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by such person as the Board of Directors may designate, or, in the absence of such person, the Chairman of the Board, or in his or her absence, the Chief Executive Officer, or in his or her absence, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting. Such person shall be chairman of the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

(b)The Board of Directors shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, limitations on participation in such meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairman shall permit, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting on matters which are to be voted on by ballot.

Section 1.10: Voting; Proxies. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the Corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 1.12 of these Bylaws, shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Unless otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may do so in person or by remote communication if applicable, or may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. Such proxy may be prepared, transmitted and delivered in any manner permitted by applicable law, including electronic transmission. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this Section 1.10 may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. Voting at any meeting of stockholders need not be by written ballot unless such is demanded at the meeting before voting begins by any stockholder or by such stockholder’s proxy. If a vote is to be taken by written ballot, then each such ballot shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as the chairman of the meeting deems appropriate, and the ballots shall be counted by one or more inspectors appointed pursuant to Section 1.13 of these Bylaws.

Section 1.11: Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. 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 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, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which shall not be more than sixty (60) 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, then the record date shall be as provided by applicable law. 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.

Section 1.12: List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder, 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, (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that information 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. 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 at the meeting. This list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

Section 1.13: Inspector(s) of Elections. In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors may, and to the extent required by law, shall, appoint one or more Inspector(s) to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof and make a written report thereof. If Inspector(s) are not so appointed or if the person(s) so appointed fail to appear or act, the person presiding at such meeting may, and to the extent required by law, shall, appoint one or more Inspector(s). Each Inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. Such duties may include, but need not be limited to (i) determining the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, (ii) determining the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity and effect of proxies, (iii) receiving votes, ballots and consents, (iv) hearing and determining all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, (v) counting and tabulating all votes, ballots or consents, (vi) determining the results of elections and votes, (vii) retaining for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the Inspector(s), and (viii) doing such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting or any stockholder entitled to vote thereon, the Inspector(s) shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by them and execute a certificate of any fact found by them. Any report or certificate made by them shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated and of the votes as certified by them.

Each person who was or is made a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (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 officer of the Corporation or a Reincorporated Predecessor (as defined below) or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or Reincorporated Predecessor (including any constituent corporation) as a director or officer of another corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation or a Reincorporated Predecessor and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.

Section 6.3: Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote or consent of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Additionally, nothing in this Article VI shall limit the ability of the Corporation, in its discretion and

subject to compliance with applicable laws, regulations and rules, to indemnify or advance expenses to persons whom the Corporation is not obligated to indemnify or advance expenses pursuant to this Article VI.
