Article IV

INDEMNIFICATION


 


Section 4.1 Indemnification
by TPL Corp.


 


(a) Without
limiting any other rights that a Person may have pursuant to law or any agreement or Organizational Document in effect on the Effective
Date or otherwise, from the Effective Date, TPL Corp shall INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS (i) the Trust, (ii) each
of the Trustees, (iii) the heirs, legatees, devisees, successors, assigns, executors, administrators, trustees and Representatives
of each of the Trustees and (iv) each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the Effective Date or who was, is or
becomes prior to the Effective Date, a trustee, officer, legal agent or fiduciary of the Trust, the Trustees or any of its and
their Representatives (including, for the avoidance of doubt, agents or employees of the Trust), in each case, when acting in such
capacity (each of the Persons in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), an “Indemnified Person”
and collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, fines, penalties, expenses
(including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), liabilities or judgments or reasonable amounts that
are paid in settlement, of or directly or indirectly incurred in connection with any Proceeding to which such Indemnified Person
is a party or is otherwise involved (including as a witness) based, in whole or in part, on or arising, in whole or in part, out
of the fact that such Person is or was a trustee, director, officer, agent, employee or fiduciary of the Trust or any of its Affiliates,
or any of its and their Representatives, or is or was serving at the request of the Trust or any of its Affiliates as a trustee,
director, officer, agent, employee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture,
employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, as applicable, or by reason of anything done or not done by such Person in any
such capacity, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein and hereby, whether pertaining to any act or omission occurring
or existing prior to, at or after the Effective Date and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Date (“Indemnified
Liabilities”), in each case to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law (and TPL Corp shall pay expenses incurred
in connection therewith in advance of the final disposition of any such Proceeding to each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law). TPL Corp shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation
on an Indemnified Person without written consent from such Indemnified Person. The Indemnified Persons shall have authority to
enter reasonable settlements of any Proceeding, and neither TPL Corp nor the Indemnified Persons will unreasonably withhold their
consent to any proposed settlement. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any such Proceeding is brought or threatened to
be brought against any Indemnified Persons (whether arising before or after the Effective Date), (i) the Indemnified Persons may
retain legal counsel at their election, and TPL Corp shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified
Persons as promptly as statements therefor are received, and (ii) TPL Corp shall use its best efforts to assist in the defense
of any such matter. Any Indemnified Person wishing to claim indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 4.1(a),
upon learning of any such Proceeding, shall notify TPL Corp thereof (but the failure to so notify shall not relieve a Party from
any obligations that it may have under this Section 4.1(a) except to the extent such failure materially prejudices
such Party’s position with respect to such claims). With respect to any determination of whether any Indemnified Person is
entitled to indemnification by TPL Corp under this Section 4.1(a), such Indemnified Person shall have the right to
require that such determination be made by special, independent legal counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and approved by
TPL Corp (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and who has not otherwise performed material services
for TPL Corp, TPL Holdco or the Indemnified Person within the last three (3) years.


 


(b) TPL
Corp shall indemnify any Indemnified Person against all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and
professionals’ fees and expenses or reasonable amounts paid in settlement), such amounts to be payable in advance upon request
as provided in Section 4.1(a), relating to the enforcement of such Indemnified Person’s rights under this Section 4.1
or under any law, Organizational Document or contract regardless of whether such Indemnified Person is ultimately determined to
be entitled to indemnification hereunder or thereunder.


 






    3


     


    

 


(c) In
the event that TPL Corp or any of its successors or assignees (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall
not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially
all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors
and assigns of TPL Corp shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.1. TPL Corp shall not sell, transfer,
distribute or otherwise dispose of any of its assets in a manner that would reasonably be expected to render TPL Corp unable to
satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.1. The provisions of this Section 4.1 are intended to be for
the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Parties and each Person entitled to indemnification or insurance coverage or expense
advancement pursuant to this Section 4.1, and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and Representatives. The
rights of the Indemnified Persons under this Section 4.1 are in addition to any rights such Indemnified Persons may
have under the Organizational Documents of the Trust or TPL Corp or any of its or their Affiliates, or under any contracts or law.
TPL Corp shall pay all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing the
indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 4.1.


 


Article V

COVENANTS


 


Section 5.1 Further
Assurances. In case at any time after the Effective Date any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further action as the other Parties reasonably may request.


 


Section 5.2 Tax
Covenants.


 


(a) The
Parties agree that for U.S. federal and, to the extent permitted, for state and local Tax purposes, (i) the transactions undertaken
to effect the Corporate Reorganization, including the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, will not result in a termination
of the Trust’s taxable year, (ii) the Trust’s Tax attributes enumerated in Section 381(c) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any similar provision of state or local law, will be taken into account
by TPL Corp as if there had been no Corporate Reorganization, and (iii) the part of the Trust’s last taxable year that began
before the Corporate Reorganization will be included in TPL Corp’s first taxable year that ends after the Corporate Reorganization.


 


(b) All
sales, use, controlling interest, transfer, filing, recordation, registration and similar Taxes arising from or associated with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than Taxes based on income or net worth (“Transaction Taxes”),
shall be borne in their entirety by TPL Corp. TPL Corp shall prepare and file all such Tax Returns. The Parties shall provide such
certificates and other information and otherwise cooperate.


 


Section 5.3 Tax
Treatment of the Transaction. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to the extent permitted for state and local income
Tax purposes, the transactions to effect the Corporate Reorganization, including the transactions contemplated under this Agreement,
shall be treated as part of a plan of reorganization to effect a mere change in the identity, form and place of organization of
the Trust under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Parties shall not take
any position inconsistent with such treatment in notices to or filings with Governmental Authorities, in audit or other Proceedings
with respect to Taxes, or in other documents or notices relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such

order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name
of such stockholder. Nothing contained in this section shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other
electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane
to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network
(provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or (ii) during
ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the Corporation determines to make the list available
on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders
of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall
be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be examined by any stockholder
who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then such list shall also be open to the
examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information
required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise required by applicable law,
the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled by this section to examine
the list required by this section or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders.

SECTION 2.4 Place
of Meeting. The Board may designate the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting of the stockholders.
If no designation is so made, the place of meeting shall be the principal executive offices of the Corporation. The Board, acting
in its sole discretion, may establish guidelines and procedures in accordance with applicable provisions of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and any other applicable law for the participation by stockholders
and proxyholders in a meeting of stockholders by means of remote communications, and may determine that any meeting of stockholders
will not be held at any place but will be held solely by means of remote communication. Stockholders and proxyholders complying
with such procedures and guidelines and otherwise entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be deemed present in person
and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means
of remote communication.


 


SECTION 2.5 Notice
of Meeting.


 


(A) Unless
otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws of the Corporation (these “Bylaws”),
written notice, stating the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, shall be given, not less than ten (10) days nor more than
sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall
specify (A) the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the
record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting), (B) the place, if any, date and time of such meeting, (C) 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, and (D) in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called. No business other
than that specified in the notice thereof shall be transacted at any special meeting. If the stockholder list referred to in Section
2.3 of these Bylaws is made accessible on an electronic network, the notice of meeting must indicate how the stockholder list
can be accessed. If the meeting of stockholders is to be held solely by means of electronic communications, the notice of meeting
must provide the information required to access such stockholder list during the meeting.








 


(B) Any
notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws may be given in
writing directed to the stockholder’s mailing address (or by electronic transmission directed to the stockholder’s
electronic mail address, as applicable) as it appears on the records of the Corporation. A notice to a stockholder shall be deemed
given as follows: (i) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon prepaid, (ii) if delivered
by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address, (iii) if given by electronic
mail, when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in
writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail or such notice is prohibited by Section
232(e) of the DGCL, and (iv) if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is
given and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, (A) if by facsimile transmission, when directed to a number at which
the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (B) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to
the stockholder of such specified posting, upon the later of (1) such posting and (2) the giving of such separate notice and
(C) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s
consent to receiving notice by means of electronic transmission by giving written notice or electronic transmission of such revocation
to the Corporation. A notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that (1) the Corporation is
unable to deliver by such electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation and (2) such inability becomes
known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the
giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting
or other action. “Electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical
transmission of paper, including the use of, or participation in, one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or
more distributed electronic networks or databases), that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient
thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process. “Electronic
mail” means an electronic transmission directed to a unique electronic mail address (which electronic mail shall be deemed
to include any files attached thereto and any information hyperlinked to a website if such electronic mail includes the contact
information of an officer or agent of the Corporation who is available to assist with accessing such files and information). “Electronic
mail address” means a destination, commonly expressed as a string of characters, consisting of a unique user name or
mailbox (commonly referred to as the “local part” of the address) and a reference to an internet domain (commonly referred
to as the “domain part” of the address), whether or not displayed, to which electronic mail can be sent or delivered.

SECTION 2.6 Quorum
and Adjournment of Meetings.


 


(A) Except
as otherwise required by applicable law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the
voting power of all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, represented
in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of stockholders, except that, when
specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the voting power
of all of the issued and outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction
of such business. The chair of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time for any reason, whether or not there is such
a quorum. The stockholders present at a duly called 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) Any
meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice
need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the date, time and place, if any, thereof and means of remote communication,
if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced
at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that, if the adjournment is for more than
thirty (30) days, or, if after an adjournment, a new record date is fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at
the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.


 


SECTION 2.7 Proxies.
At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing (or in such other manner prescribed by the
DGCL) by the stockholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Any copy, facsimile transmission or other reliable
reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this section 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 transmission or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.
No proxy may be voted or acted upon after the expiration of three (3) years from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides
for a longer period. Every proxy is revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it unless the proxy states that it is
irrevocable and applicable law makes it irrevocable. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the
meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy
bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation.


 


SECTION 2.8 Notice
of Stockholder Business and Nominations.


 


(A) Annual

(1)  Nominations
of persons for election to the Board and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders at an annual meeting
of stockholders may be made only (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (b) by

of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in these Bylaws and at the time of the annual meeting, (ii) is entitled
to vote at the meeting and (iii) complies with the notice procedures and other requirements set forth in these Bylaws and applicable

Act”), and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting and annual meeting proxy statement) before an annual
meeting of the stockholders.











 


(2)  For
any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.8(A)(1)(c)
of these Bylaws, (a) the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the
Corporation at the principal offices of the Corporation, (b) such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder
action under the DGCL and (c) the record stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf any such proposal or nomination
is made, must have acted in accordance with the representations set forth in the Solicitation Statement required by these Bylaws.
To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices
of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day before the date of the one (1)
year anniversary of the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting (which anniversary, in the case of the first (1st) annual
meeting of stockholders and solely for the purpose of this Section 2.8(A)(2), shall be deemed November 16, 2021) and not
later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day before the date of such anniversary; provided, however,
that, subject to the following sentence, in the event that the date of the annual meeting is scheduled for a date that is more
than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date or in the event that no annual meeting was
held in the prior year, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not earlier than the
close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day before such annual meeting and not later than the close of business
on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day before such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public
announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of

and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would
be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and

the form provided by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request) that such person (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 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 (2) 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

of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality

furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility and suitability of
such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be deemed material to a reasonable stockholder’s
understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of
the record date) and not later than seven (7) business days prior to the date for the meeting or any postponement or adjournment
thereof, if practicable (or, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to any adjournment, recess or postponement
thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any
adjournment, recess or postponement thereof)).

(4)  If
any information submitted pursuant to this Section 2.8 by any stockholder proposing a nominee for election as a director
or any proposal for other business at a meeting of stockholders is inaccurate in any respect, such information shall be deemed
not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 2.8. Any such stockholder shall notify the Corporation of any
inaccuracy or change in any such information within two (2) business days of becoming aware of such inaccuracy or change. Upon
written request by the Secretary of the Corporation or the Board, any such stockholder shall provide, within five (5) business
days of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request), (A) written verification, reasonably
satisfactory to the Board or any authorized officer, to demonstrate the accuracy of any information submitted by the stockholder
pursuant to this Section 2.8, and (B) a written update of any information (including, if requested by the Corporation, written
confirmation by such stockholder that such stockholder continues to intend to bring such nomination or other business proposal
before the meeting) submitted by the stockholder pursuant to this Section 2.8 as of an earlier date. If a stockholder fails
to provide such written verification or written update within such period, the information as to which written verification or
a written update was requested shall be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 2.8.


 


(B) Special
Meetings of Stockholders.


 


Only such business
shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of
the Board. 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 a notice of meeting (1) by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof or (2) if the
Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (a) is a stockholder
of record (and with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf such nomination or nominations are made, only
if such beneficial owner was the beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation) both at the time of giving of notice provided for
in these Bylaws and on the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting, (b) is entitled
to vote at the meeting and upon such election, and (c) complies with the notice procedures set forth in these Bylaws and applicable
law. In the event a special meeting of stockholders is called for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any
such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s
notice of meeting, if the stockholder delivers notice with the information required by (c) (with the updates required by Section
2.8(A)(3)) of these Bylaws with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire and representation
and agreement required by Section 2.8(A)(2)(d) of these Bylaws). Such notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the
Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth
(120th) day prior to such special meeting and 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 to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment
or postponement or the announcement thereof of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the
giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Paragraph (B) of this Section 2.8 (including persons nominated by or at the director of the Board) shall be
eligible to be elected at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to serve as directors.

(C) General.


 


(1)  Only
such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and applicable law shall be eligible
to serve as directors, and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before
the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and applicable law. Except as otherwise provided by applicable
law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the chair 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 in these Bylaws and applicable law and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance
with these Bylaws and applicable law, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.


 


(2)  For
purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by Dow Jones
News Service, the Associated Press, or any other national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with
the SEC pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and “Stockholder
Associated Person” shall mean, for any stockholder, (a) any person or entity controlling, directly or indirectly,
or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (b) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or
beneficially by such stockholder or (c) any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with any person
or entity referred to in the preceding clauses (a) or (b).


 


(3)  Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of these Bylaws, a stockholder making a nomination or proposal under this Section 2.8 shall also
comply with all applicable requirements of state law and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect
to the matters set forth in these Bylaws; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange
Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals
as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Section 2.8(A) or Section 2.8(B) of these Bylaws. Nothing in
these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights (a) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s
proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (b) of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation
(“Preferred Stock”), if and to the extent provided for under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation
or these Bylaws.

(4)  Unless
otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) making a nomination or proposal
under this Section 2.8 does not appear at a meeting of stockholders to present such nomination or proposal, the nomination
shall be disregarded and the proposed business shall not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in favor
thereof may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.8, to be considered a qualified representative
of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by
a document executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder
as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such document or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction
of the document or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.


 


SECTION 2.9 Conduct
of Business. 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 announced at the meeting by the chair of the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and
regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion. The Chair of the
Board, if one shall have been elected, or, in the Chair of the Board’s absence or if one has not been elected, another director
or officer designated by the Board, shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders as “chair of the meeting.” Except
to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the chair of the meeting shall have the right
and authority to convene and for any reason to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures
and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of the chair of the meeting, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting.
Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chair of the meeting, may include, without
limitation, the following: (A) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (B) rules and procedures for
maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (C) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting
to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chair
of the meeting shall determine; (D) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; (E)
limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; and (F) restrictions of the use of audio and video recording
devices. The chair of the meeting, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the
meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly brought before
the meeting, and, if such chair of the meeting should so determine, such chair of the meeting shall so declare to the meeting,
and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the
extent determined by the Board or the chair of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance
with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, at any meeting
at which directors are to be elected, each director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect
to the director at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, provided that if, as of a date
that is fourteen (14) days in advance of the date the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or
not thereafter revised or supplemented) with the SEC, the number of nominees (including those proposed nominees identified in any
notices delivered pursuant to Section 2.8 and not withdrawn by such date, determined ineligible or determined by the Board
(or a committee thereof) to not create a bona fide election contest) exceeds the number of directors to be elected at such meeting
(a “Contested Election”), the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented
in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. If a nominee for director in an election
that is not a Contested Election fails to receive a majority of the votes cast and such nominee is an incumbent director, that
director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board, subject to acceptance by the Board. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee of the Board (or such other duly constituted committee of the Board authorized to make a recommendation) shall
make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be
taken. The Board shall act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s
recommendation, and publicly disclose its decision regarding the tendered resignation within ninety (90) days from the date of
the certification of the election results. The director who tenders his or her resignation shall not participate in the recommendation
of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the decision of the Board with respect to his or her resignation.


 


(B) Except
as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the rules and regulations applicable
to the Corporation or its securities, all other matters shall be determined by the vote of the majority of the votes cast on the
matter affirmatively or negatively. In non-binding advisory matters with more than two (2) possible vote choices, the affirmative
vote of a plurality of the voting power of the outstanding shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and
entitled to vote on the matter shall be the recommendation of the stockholders.


 


SECTION 2.11 Treasury
Stock. The Corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock belonging to it or any other corporation,
if a majority of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the
Corporation, and such shares will not be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall
not limit the right of the Corporation or such other corporation to vote stock of the Corporation held in a fiduciary capacity.

of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve
the Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives, to act at
the meeting or any adjournment thereof of stockholders and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated
as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act or is
able to act at a meeting of stockholders and the appointment of an inspector is required by applicable law, the chair of the meeting
shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and
sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.
The inspector or inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by applicable law.

of stock shall be signed, countersigned and registered in the manner required by law. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar
who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or
registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such
officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.


 


SECTION 6.2 Lost,
Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. No certificate for shares or uncertificated shares of stock in the Corporation shall be issued
in place of any certificate alleged to have been lost, destroyed or stolen, except on production of such evidence of such loss,

of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, including by electronic transmission,

to the giving of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of the
stockholders or the Board or any committee thereof need be specified in any waiver of notice of such meeting. Attendance of a person
at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose
of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened.


 


SECTION 7.5 Facsimile
and Electronic Signatures. In addition to the provisions for use of facsimile or electronic signatures elsewhere specifically
authorized in these Bylaws, facsimile or electronic signatures of any officer or officers of the Corporation may be used whenever

are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on
behalf of the Corporation.

Any director, committee member or officer, whether elected or appointed, may resign at any time by giving written notice, including
by electronic transmission, of such resignation to the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary, and such
resignation shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the date said notice is received by the Chair of the
Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary, or at such later time as is specified therein. No formal action shall be required
of the Board or the stockholders to make any such resignation effective.

SECTION 7.9 Indemnification
and Advancement of Expenses.


 


(A) The
Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may
hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (as
a witness or otherwise) 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 for whom he or she is the
legal representative, is or was a director, trustee or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor in interest to the assets
of the Corporation immediately prior to the adoption of these Amended and Restated Bylaws (a “predecessor”)
or, while a director, trustee or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation
or any predecessor as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a trust, partnership, joint
venture, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (a “Covered
Person”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, trustee, officer,
employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent, against all expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines (including, without limitation, ERISA excise taxes and penalties) and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such Covered Person in connection with such proceeding if he
or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonable believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation
or a predecessor and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.


 


(B) The
Corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, pay
the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending or otherwise participating
in or appearing at any proceeding in advance of its final disposition (including in connection with a proceeding brought to establish
or enforce a right to indemnification under this Section 7.9); provided, however, that, to the extent
required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon
receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it shall be ultimately determined by final judicial
decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter, a “final adjudication”) that the Covered
Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 7.9 or otherwise.


 


(C) To
the extent that a current or former director, trustee or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any threatened, pending or completed proceeding referred to in Section 145(a) or (b) of the DGCL,
or in defense of any claim, issue or matter thereof, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.


 


(D) The
termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person seeking indemnification did not act in good faith and in a manner he
or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or a predecessor, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.


 






    Appendix
 B-19


     


    




 


(E) The
rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred upon any current or former director, trustee or officer of the
Corporation or any predecessor under this Section 7.9 (whether by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
trustee or officer of the Corporation or a predecessor, or, while serving as a director, trustee or officer of the Corporation
or a predecessor, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or a predecessor as a director, trustee, officer, trustee,
employee or agent of another corporation or of a trust, partnership, joint venture, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including
service with respect to an employee benefit plan) shall be contract rights, shall vest when such person becomes a director, trustee
or officer of the Corporation and such rights shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director, trustee, officer,
employee or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 7.9, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses,
the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated
by such Covered Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.


 


(F) If
a claim for indemnification under this Section 7.9 (following the final disposition of such proceeding) is not paid
in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after the Corporation has received a written claim therefor by the Covered
Person, or if a claim for any advancement of expenses under this Section 7.9 is not paid in full by the Corporation
within thirty (30) days after the Corporation has received a statement or statements requesting such amounts to be advanced,
the Covered Person shall thereupon (but not before) be entitled to file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim. If successful
in whole or in part, the Covered Person shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim, or a claim brought
by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law. In any such action, the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled
to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law. In any suit brought by a Covered Person to enforce
a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by a Covered Person to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses),
it shall be a defense that, and the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the
Covered Person has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. With respect to any suit brought
by a Covered Person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or right to advancement of expenses hereunder or any suit brought
by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to the terms of an undertaking or otherwise), neither
(i) the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors,
independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification
of the Covered Person is proper in the circumstances because the Covered Person has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in the DGCL, nor (ii) an actual determination by the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action,
a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the Covered Person has not met such applicable
standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the
case of such a suit brought by the Covered Person, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Covered Person to enforce
a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement
of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified,
or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 7.9 or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

(G) The
rights conferred on any Covered Person by this Section 7.9 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such Covered
Person may have or hereafter acquire under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, an agreement or vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be such director, officer,
employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.


 


(H) This
Section 7.9 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify
and to advance expenses to persons other than Covered Persons. Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation may, to the extent
authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or
agent of the Corporation or any predecessor and to any other person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or
a predecessor as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 7.9
with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Covered Persons under this Section 7.9.


 


(I) The
Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director,
trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation
or any predecessor as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture
or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such
person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL, these Bylaws or otherwise.


 


(J) Any
repeal, modification or amendment of this Section 7.9 by the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes
in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provision of these Bylaws inconsistent with this ‎Section 7.9,
will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in applicable
law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights to Covered Persons on a retroactive basis than permitted
prior thereto), and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder in respect of any
act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision. Any amendment, repeal,
modification or adoption that would adversely affect such person’s rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder
shall be ineffective as to such Covered Person, except with respect to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding that relates
to or arises from (and only to the extent such proceeding relates to or arises from) any act or omission of such Covered Person
occurring after the effective time of such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption.

(K) If
any provision or provisions of this ‎Section 7.9 shall be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in any other circumstance and of the remaining
provisions of this ‎Section 7.9 (including, without limitation, all
portions of any paragraph of this ‎Section 7.9 containing any such
provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not by themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application
of such provision to other persons or entities or circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to
the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this ‎Section 7.9 (including,
without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this ‎Section 7.9
containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable)
shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent of the parties that the Corporation provide protection to the indemnitee
to the fullest extent set forth in this ‎Section 7.9.


 


SECTION 7.10 Emergency
Bylaws.


 


(A) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, this Section 7.10 (the “Emergency
Bylaws”) shall be operative during any emergency resulting from an attack on the United States or on a locality in which
the Corporation conducts its business or customarily holds meetings of its Board or its stockholders or during any nuclear or atomic
disaster or the existence of any catastrophe, a declaration of a national emergency by the United States government, or other similar
emergency condition, which, in any such case, renders a significant number of the members of the Board who were serving on the
Board pursuant to these Bylaws (excluding pursuant to this Section 7.10) immediately prior to the Emergency (the “Regular
Directors”) incapacitated or inaccessible for an extended period of time and as a result of which a quorum of the Board
or a standing committee thereof cannot be convened for action (an “Emergency”). To the extent not inconsistent
with these Emergency Bylaws, the regular bylaws of the Corporation (i.e., these Bylaws) and the Certificate of Incorporation shall
remain in effect during an Emergency, and these Emergency Bylaws shall not be operative after the Emergency ends. Notwithstanding
the immediately preceding clause, any Emergency which causes these Emergency Bylaws to become operative shall be deemed to have
ended whenever the following conditions are met: (a) The directors serving pursuant to the Emergency Bylaws determine at a meeting
that the Emergency has ended; or (b) the Regular Directors, taking action pursuant to and in accordance with Article III
(including the quorum requirements of Section 3.9), determine that the Emergency has ended or that the Emergency Bylaws
are no longer operative.


 


(B) During
any Emergency, any director or officer of the Corporation may call a meeting of the Board or any standing committee thereof and
notice of the place and time of such meeting of the Board or any standing committee thereof may be given only to such directors
as may be feasible to reach at the time and by such means as may be feasible at the time. Such notice shall be given at least twenty-four
(24) hours before such meeting if feasible and otherwise on any shorter time as the person giving notice may deem necessary. Such
notice shall be similarly given, to the extent feasible, to the Designated Officers serving as directors pursuant to this Section
7.10). Neither the business to be transacted nor the purpose of any such meeting need be specified in the notice thereof.

(C) At
any meeting of the Board, or any standing committee thereof, called in accordance with this Section 7.10, the presence of
three (3) directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board, and the presence of two (2) standing
committee members shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of any standing committee. In the event that less than
three (3) Regular Directors are able to attend such meeting of the Board, then the Regular Directors (or the single Regular Director)
in attendance shall select additional directors to serve on the Board, in such number as is necessary to have three (3) directors
at the meeting, from among the Designated Officers. In the event that no Regular Directors are able to attend such meeting of the
Board, then no more than three (3) Designated Officers in attendance shall serve as directors for such meeting and with full powers
to act as directors of the Corporation. During the duration of the Emergency, (1) vacancies on the Board or any committee thereof
may be filled by a majority vote of the directors in attendance at such meeting, and (2) the Board may appoint any individual as
a director to replace a director who is incapacitated and to serve until the latter ceases to be incapacitated. Directors appointed
to the Board pursuant to this Section 7.10(C) shall serve on the Board until the Emergency has ended. Directors taking any
action at any such meeting shall have an obligation to inform, if feasible, all Regular Directors and Designated Officers who were
not in attendance at such meeting of all actions so taken. For purposes of this Section 7.10, “Designated Officers”
means officers of the Corporation who may become directors of the Corporation during an Emergency, which list has been approved
by the Whole Board prior to the Emergency. If the Whole Board has not approved a list of Designated Officers prior to the Emergency,
then the officers of the Corporation in attendance shall serve as directors for the meeting, without any additional quorum requirement,
and will have full powers to act as directors of the Corporation for such meeting.


 


(D) No
director, officer or employee acting in accordance with this Section 7.10 or otherwise pursuant to Section 110 of the DGCL
(or any successor section) shall be liable except for willful misconduct.


 


(E) The
Board, either before or during any Emergency, may, effective in the Emergency, change the head office or designate several alternative
head offices or regional offices, or authorize the officers so to do. Without limiting any powers or emergency actions that the
Board may take during an Emergency, during an Emergency, the Board may take any action that it determines to be practical and necessary
to address the circumstances of the Emergency, including, without limitation, taking the actions with respect to stockholder meetings
and dividends as provided in Section 110(i) of the DGCL.


 


(F) At
any meeting called in accordance with Section 7.10(A), the Board may modify, amend or add to the provisions of this Section
7.10 in order to enact any provision that may be practical or necessary given the circumstances of the Emergency.


 


(G) The
provisions of this Section 7.10 shall be subject to repeal or change by further action of the Board or by action of the
stockholders, but no such repeal or change shall modify the provisions of Section 7.10(C) hereof with regard to action taken
prior to the time of such repeal or change.


 


(H) Nothing
contained in this Section 7.10 shall be deemed exclusive of any other provisions for emergency powers consistent with other
sections of the DGCL that have been or may be adopted by corporations created under the DGCL.

In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board is expressly
authorized to adopt, amend or repeal these Bylaws. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of these Bylaws by the Board shall require

of the Corporation only by the affirmative vote of holders of not less than a majority of the voting power of the then-outstanding
shares of stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. No Bylaws hereafter made or adopted, nor any repeal
of or amendment thereto, shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that was valid at the time it was taken.
