In addition to the requirements set forth elsewhere in these By-Laws, to be eligible to be a nominee for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation, such proposed nominee or a person on such proposed nominee’s behalf must deliver (with respect to a nomination made by a proponent pursuant to Section 2 of Article V, in accordance with the time periods for delivery of timely notice under Section 2 of Article V), to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a completed and signed questionnaire with respect to the background and qualifications of such proposed nominee and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of any stockholder of record identified by name within five business days of such written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of any stockholder of record identified by name within five business days of such written request) that such proposed nominee (i) is not and will not become a party to (a) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such proposed nominee, 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 (b) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such proposed nominee’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (ii) 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 that has not been disclosed to the Corporation, and (iii) would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with, all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, code of conduct and ethics, conflict of interest, confidentiality, corporate opportunities, trading and any other policies and guidelines of the Corporation applicable to directors.

5. The Corporation may also require, as a condition to any such nomination being deemed properly brought before an annual or special meeting, any proponent stockholder or proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

6. In addition, if the proponent stockholder has provided notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the proponent stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation no later than ten (10) days prior to the date of the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof reasonable evidence that it has complied with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

For the avoidance of doubt, a stockholder shall not be entitled to make additional or substitute nominations at an annual or special meeting following the expiration of the time periods set forth in these By-Laws. Unless otherwise required by law, if any proponent stockholder (i) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (ii) subsequently fails to comply with any requirements of Rule 14a-19 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other rules or regulations thereunder, then the Corporation shall disregard any proxies or votes solicited for such nominees and such nominations shall be disregarded. Except as otherwise provided by law or herein, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and duty (i) to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of this Article V (including whether the proponent stockholder or any of its respective affiliates, associates or others acting in concert therewith solicited (or are part of a group which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies or votes in support of the proponent stockholder’s nominee in compliance with the proponent stockholder’s representation as required by clause (vii) of Section 2 of Article V) and (ii) if any proposed nomination was not made in compliance with Article V, to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Article V, unless otherwise required by law, if the proponent stockholder (or a qualified representative of the proponent stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 7 of Article V, to be considered a qualified representative of the proponent stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such proponent stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such proponent stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such proponent stockholder to act for such proponent stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

8. In addition to the provisions of this Article V, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of state law and all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, with respect to the matters set forth herein.

9. For purposes of these By-laws, “Public Announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

2. The Corporation shall indemnify to the maximum extent permitted by law any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
