FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED BY-LAWS

Adopted December 22, 2015

ARTICLE I
STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.1                             Annual Meetings.  An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held on such date and at such time as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) shall each year fix.  An annual meeting may be held either at a place, within or without the State of Delaware, or by means of remote communication as the Board in its sole discretion may determine.

Section 1.2                             Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes prescribed in the notice of the meeting, may be called by the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and shall be held on such date and at such time as the Board or such officer shall fix.  A special meeting may be held either at a place, within or without the State of Delaware, or by means of remote communication as the Board in its sole discretion may determine.

Section 1.3                             Notice of Stockholder Business; Nominations.

(1)                                 No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation (1) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 1.3 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (2) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.3.  The requirements of this Section 1.3 shall apply to any business or nominations to be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder whether such business or nominations are to be included in the Corporation’s proxy statement or presented to stockholders by means of an independently financed proxy solicitation.  For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, including a nomination of a person for election to the Board to be made by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action.

No business may be transacted at a special meeting of stockholders other than business that is specified in the Corporation’s notice of such meeting.  Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of such meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board or (b) provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such special meeting, by any stockholder who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.3.

(2)                                 To be timely, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (i) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting of Stockholders has been changed by more than 30 calendar days from the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, the notice must be received by the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to such annual meeting date or, if the public disclosure of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the tenth day following the day on which the public disclosure of the date of such meeting was made; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of the special meeting was made.  For purposes of the foregoing, “public disclosure” means the disclosure in a press release reported by the PR Newswire, Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

(3)                                 To be in proper written form with respect to all business other than director nominations, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation must set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and the text of any proposal to be presented and (ii) any interest of the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person in such business.

As to the stockholder giving such notice and, where noted below, each Stockholder Associated Person, the stockholder’s written notice shall set forth and include the following:

a)                                     a description of each agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) with any Stockholder Associated Person;

b)                                    the name and record address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business, such stockholder’s principal occupation and the name and address of any Stockholder Associated Person;

d)                                    a list of all of the derivative securities (as defined under Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or any successor provision thereto) and other derivatives or similar agreements or arrangements with an exercise or conversion privilege or a periodic or settlement payment or payments or mechanism at a price or in an amount or amounts related to any security of the Corporation or with a value derived or calculated in whole or in part from the value of the Corporation or any security of the Corporation, in each case, directly or indirectly held of record or beneficially owned by such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person and each other direct or indirect opportunity of such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of any

2

security of the Corporation, in each case, regardless of whether (i) such interest conveys any voting rights in such security to such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person, (ii) such interest is required to be, or is capable of being, settled through delivery of such security or (iii) such person may have entered into other transactions that hedge the economic effect of such interest (any such interest described in this clause d) being a “Derivative Interest”);

e)                                     the name of each person with whom such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person has any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) (i) for the purposes of acquiring, holding, voting (except pursuant to a revocable proxy given to such person in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made generally by such person to all holders of shares of the Corporation) or disposing of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, (ii) to cooperate in obtaining, changing or influencing the control of the Corporation (except independent financial, legal and other advisors acting in the ordinary course of their respective businesses), (iii) with the effect or intent of increasing or decreasing the voting power of, or that contemplates any person voting together with, any such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person with respect to any shares of the capital stock of the Corporation or any business proposed by the stockholder or (iv) otherwise in connection with any business proposed by a stockholder and a description of each such agreement, arrangement or understanding (any agreement, arrangement or understanding described in this clause e) being a “Voting Agreement”);

f)                                       details of all other material interests of each stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person in such proposal or any security of the Corporation (including, without limitation, any rights to dividends or performance-related fees based on any increase or decrease in the value of such security or Derivative Interests) (collectively, “Other Interests”);

g)                                    a description of all economic terms of all such Derivative Interests, Voting Agreements or Other Interests and copies of all agreements and other documents (including, without limitation, master agreements, confirmations and all ancillary documents and the names and details of counterparties to, and brokers involved in, all such transactions) relating to each such Derivative Interest, Voting Agreement or Other Interest;

h)                                     a list of all transactions by such stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person involving any securities of the Corporation or any Derivative Interests, Voting Agreements or Other Interests within the six-month period prior to the date of the notice;

i)                                         any other information relating to such stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the proposal pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act (or any successor provision thereto); and

j)                                         a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business.

“Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder means (i) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation on whose behalf any proposal or nomination is made by such stockholder; (ii) any affiliates or associates of such stockholder or any beneficial owner described in clause (i); and (iii) each other person with whom any of the persons described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) either is acting in concert with respect to the Corporation or has any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) for the purpose of

3

acquiring, holding, voting (except pursuant to a revocable proxy given to such person in response to a public proxy solicitation made generally by such person to all stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting) or disposing of any capital stock of the Corporation or to cooperate in obtaining, changing or influencing the control of the Corporation (except independent financial, legal and other advisors acting in the ordinary course of their respective businesses).

(4)                                 To be in proper written form with respect to stockholder nominations for director, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by the person and (iv) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice and, where referred to in subsections (3)a)-h) of Section 1.3 or noted below, each Stockholder Associated Person: (i) the information that would have been required by subsections (3)a)-h) of Section 1.3 if subsection (3) of Section 1.3 were applicable to nominations of persons for election to the Board and the references therein to “proposing such business”, “business proposed” and “such proposal” were to “proposing such nomination,” “nominees for election to the Board proposed” and “such nomination,” respectively; (ii) any other information relating to such stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the election of directors in a contested election (even if a contested election is not involved) pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act (or any successor provision thereto); (iii) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such nomination; and (iv) a representation as to whether the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person intends, or is part of a group that intends, to (1) deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation required to elect the nominee or (2) otherwise solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such nomination.  Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

(5)                                 No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.3, provided, however, that, once business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 1.3 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business.  If the presiding officer at an annual meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the presiding officer shall declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted.

(6)                                 To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a person must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under this Section 1.3) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is

4

being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such person (a) is not and will not become a party to (i) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (ii) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (b) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director, and (c) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation.  The Corporation may also require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation (i) to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation, including with respect to qualifications established by any committee of the Board, (ii) to determine 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 (iii) that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence and qualifications, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

No person shall be eligible for election as a stockholder nominee of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.3.  If the presiding officer of the meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the presiding officer shall declare to the meeting that the nomination was defective and such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.3, 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 herein.  Nothing in this Section 1.3 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.

Section 1.4                             Notice of Meetings.  Notice of all meetings of the stockholders shall be given in writing or by electronic transmission in the manner provided by law (meaning, here and hereinafter, as required from time to time by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation) stating the date, time and place, if any, of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.  Such notice shall be given not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law.

Any meeting of the stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place and time.  When a meeting is adjourned to another date, time or place (if any) written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the date, time or place (if any) thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than 30 days after

5

the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the date, time and place (if any) of the adjourned meeting shall be given in conformity herewith.  At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 1.5                             Quorum.  At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of all of the shares of the stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, unless or except to the extent that the presence of a larger number may be required by law.  A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the subsequent withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.  Where a separate vote by class or classes is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter.

When any meeting is convened, the presiding officer, if directed by the Board, may adjourn the meeting if (a) no quorum is present for the transaction of business, or (b) the Board determines that adjournment is necessary or appropriate to enable the stockholders (i) to consider fully information which the Board determines has not been made sufficiently or timely available to stockholders or (ii) otherwise to exercise effectively their voting rights.  Prior to the time when any meeting is convened the officer who would be the presiding officer at such meeting, if directed by the Board, may postpone the meeting if the Board determines that postponement is necessary or appropriate to enable the stockholders (a) to consider fully information which the Board determines has not been made sufficiently or timely available to stockholders or (b) otherwise to exercise effectively their voting rights.

Section 1.6                             Organization.  The Chairman of the Board or such person as the Board may have designated or, in the absence of such a person, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation 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, shall call to order any meeting of the stockholders and act as chairman of the meeting.  In the absence of the Secretary of the Corporation, the secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the chairman appoints.

Section 1.7                             Conduct of Business.  The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in order.

Section 1.8                             Proxies and Voting.  At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy.  Such a proxy may be prepared, transmitted and delivered in any manner established for the meeting and permitted by law.

Each stockholder shall have one vote for every share of stock entitled to vote which is registered in his or her name on the record date for the meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law.

All voting, including on the election of directors but excepting where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefore by a stockholder entitled to vote or his or her proxy, a stock vote shall be taken.  Every stock vote shall be taken by ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting and, if authorized by the Board, the ballot may be submitted by electronic transmission in the

6

manner provided by law.  Every vote taken by ballots shall be counted by an inspector or inspectors.

A nominee for director shall be elected to the Board if a majority of the votes cast in respect of such nominee are in favor of such nominee’s election (excluding from consideration any shares abstaining or for which the stockholder gave no authority or direction); provided, however, that, if the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders held to elect directors and entitled to vote on such election of directors.  Except as otherwise required by law, all other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast.  Where a separate vote by class is required, unless otherwise prescribed by law, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of such class or classes present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class.

Section 1.9                             Stock List.  A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the record address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in his or her name, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network as permitted by law (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or during normal business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation.  If the meeting is to be held at a place, 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.  If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall 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 the list shall be provided with the notice of 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 1.10                      Inspectors at Meetings of Stockholders.  The Board, in advance of a meeting of stockholders, or the chairman of the meeting, may, and shall if required by law, appoint one or more inspectors, who may be employees of the Corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and make a written report thereof.  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 with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.  The inspectors shall (a) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, (b) determine the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity of proxies and ballots, (c) count all votes and ballots, (d) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors and (e) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots.  The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of their duties.  Unless otherwise provided by the Board, the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be determined by the person presiding at the meeting and shall be announced at the meeting.  No ballot, proxies, votes or any revocation thereof or change thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware upon application by a stockholder shall determine otherwise.  In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by

7

applicable law.  No person who is a candidate for office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

ARTICLE II
BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 2.1                             Number and Term of Office.  The number of directors who shall constitute the whole board shall be such number as the Board shall at the time have designated, except that in the absence of any such designation, such number shall be seven.  Each director shall be elected for a term of three years and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law.

Whenever the authorized number of directors is increased between annual meetings of the stockholders, a majority of the directors then in office shall have the power to elect such new directors for the balance of a term and until their successors are elected and qualified.  Any decrease in the authorized number of directors shall not become effective until the expiration of the term of the directors then in office unless, at the time of such decrease, there shall be vacancies on the Board which are being eliminated by the decrease.

Section 2.2                             Vacancies.  If the office of any director becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause, a majority of the directors remaining in office, although less than a quorum, may elect a successor for the unexpired term and until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

Section 2.5                             Quorum.  At any meeting of the Board, a majority of the members then serving on the Board shall constitute a quorum for all purposes.  If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting to another place, date, or time, without further notice or waiver thereof.

Section 2.7                             Conduct of Business.  At any meeting of the Board, business shall be transacted in such order and manner as the Board may from time to time determine, and all matters shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the directors present, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law.  Action may be taken by the Board without a meeting if all members thereof consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board.  Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

Section 2.8                             Powers.  The Board may, except as otherwise required by law, exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the unqualified power:

ARTICLE III

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 8.1                             Right to Indemnification.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed 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, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent representative or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, agent or representative, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or 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, officer,

15

employee, agent or representative and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 8.2 with respect to Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, 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.  Such rights shall be contract rights and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee, agent or representative in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent or representative (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director, officer, employee, agent or representative, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such director, officer, employee, agent or representative is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8.1 or otherwise.

Section 8.2                             Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.  If a claim under Section 8.1 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation against the claimant to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking referred to in Section 8.1 hereof, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such claim.  In any suit brought by the claimant to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder, and in any suit by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover any advanced expenses upon a final adjudication that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of providing such defense shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board, 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 had not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 8.3                             Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The rights conferred on any person by Sections 8.1 and 8.2 shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Section 8.4                             Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any such director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

16

Section 8.5                             Continuance.  Any repeal or modification of the foregoing sections of this Article VIII by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an officer, director or representative of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE IX
