**Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year**

As reported below in Item 5.07 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, on May 7, 2026 at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of Murphy USA Inc. (the "Company"), the holders of the Company's common stock approved amendments to the Company's restated certificate of incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• amend Article 6(C), (D) and (E) of the Certificate of Incorporation to phase-out the classification of the Board of Directors (the "Board") over a three-year period and provide for the annual election of directors, such that directors previously elected by stockholders to three-year terms of office, including those directors elected at the Annual Meeting, will complete their three-year terms, and thereafter, they or their successors will be elected to one-year terms at each future annual meeting of stockholders; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Amend Article 7(B) of the Certificate of Incorporation to allow stockholders owning 25% or more of the voting power of our outstanding common stock entitled to vote to call a special meeting of the stockholders.

On May 7, 2026, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the "Certificate of Amendment") to the Certificate of Incorporation and a restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to implement the foregoing amendments.

In addition, on May 7, 2026, the Company amended and restated its bylaws (as so amended, the "Second Amended and Restated Bylaws"). As described in the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 26, 2026, the bylaws were amended to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• amend Sections 3.01 and 3.02 to make conforming changes to the as amended Article 6 as set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate regarding the declassification of the Board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• amend Section 2.03 to conform to the as-amended Article 7 set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to special meeting rights.

The effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Bylaws was conditioned upon stockholder approval of the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation.

The foregoing summary of the Certificate of Amendment, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

**CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT**

**TO THE**

**RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION**

**OF**

**MURPHY USA INC.**

Murphy USA Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "***Corporation***"), does hereby certify that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.The amendments to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation that are set forth in this Certificate of Amendment were duly adopted in accordance with Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.ARTICLE 6 of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

"**Board of Directors**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) **Power of the Board of Directors.** The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) **Number of Directors.** The number of directors which shall constitute the Board of Directors shall, as of the date this Certificate of Incorporation becomes effective, be 10 and, thereafter, shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Whole Board. For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term "**Whole Board**" shall mean, at any given time, the total number of authorized directors at such time whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) **Election of Directors.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, the directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each director elected at the 2024, 2025 and 2026 annual meetings of stockholders shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders next following the annual meeting at which such director was elected. Each director elected at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders shall be elected for a one-year term expiring at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders. Each director elected at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders shall be elected for a one-year term expiring at the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders. At the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders and each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter, all directors shall be elected for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director shall hold office until such director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal. In no event will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A majority of the Whole Board (or such lower number as may be permitted under Delaware Law and fixed exclusively by one or more

------

resolutions adopted from time to time solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Whole Board) shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors and, except as otherwise expressly required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of directors. Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) **Vacancies.** Vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, removal or otherwise and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall, except as otherwise required by law, be filled solely by a majority of the directors then in office (although less than a quorum) or by the sole remaining director. Any director appointed to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the expiration of the term of office of the director whom he or she has replaced and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) **Removal.** Prior to the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, directors may be removed from office by the stockholders only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding securities of the Corporation generally entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. After the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, directors may be removed from office by the stockholders, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding securities of the Corporation generally entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F) **Preferred Stock Directors.** Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, whenever the holders of one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class or series, to elect directors, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such class or series of Preferred Stock adopted by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 4(A) hereto, and such directors so elected shall not be subject to the provisions of this Article 6 unless otherwise provided therein. "

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.ARTICLE 7 of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

"**Meetings of Stockholders**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) **Annual Meetings.** An annual meeting of 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 at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) **Special Meetings.** Special meetings of the stockholders may be called as set forth in the Bylaws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever holders of one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class or series, to elect directors, such holders may call, pursuant to the terms of such class or series of Preferred Stock adopted by

------

resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 4(A) hereto, special meetings of holders of such Preferred Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) **No Action by Written Consent.** Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, as may be set forth in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 4(A) hereto for such class or series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken only upon the vote of stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly noticed and called in accordance with Delaware Law, as amended from time to time, and this Article 7 and may not be taken by written consent of stockholders without a meeting."

------

**IN WITNESS WHEREOF**, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be signed by its duly authorized officer on May 7, 2026.

The right to indemnification conferred in this Article 8 shall also include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in connection with any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware Law. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article 8 shall be a contract right.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to such of the employees and agents of the Corporation to such extent and to such effect as the Board of Directors shall determine to be appropriate and authorized by Delaware Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) **Insurance.** The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Delaware Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) **Nonexclusivity of Rights.** The rights and authority conferred in this Article 8 shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may otherwise have or hereafter acquire.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) **Preservation of Rights.** Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article 8, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law, any modification of law, shall adversely affect any right or protection of any person granted pursuant hereto existing at, or arising out of or related to any event, act or omission that occurred prior to, the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification (regardless of when any proceeding (or part thereof) relating to such event, act or omission arises or is first threatened, commenced or completed).

**ARTICLE 9**

**Amendments**

The Corporation reserves the right to amend the Certificate of Incorporation in any manner permitted by the Delaware Law and all rights and powers conferred upon stockholders, directors and officers herein are granted subject to this reservation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision within this Certificate of Incorporation may be repealed or amended in any respect, and no other provision may be adopted, amended or repealed which would have the effect of modifying or permitting the circumvention of any provision within this Certificate of Incorporation, unless such action is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the Corporation shall not engage in any Business Combination (as defined hereinafter) with any Interested Stockholder (as defined hereinafter) for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an Interested Stockholder, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;prior to such time the Board of Directors approved either the Business Combination or the transaction which resulted in such stockholder becoming an Interested Stockholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in such stockholder becoming an Interested Stockholder, such stockholder owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the Voting Stock (as defined hereinafter) of the Corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the Voting Stock outstanding (but not the outstanding Voting Stock owned by such stockholder) those shares owned (i) by Persons (as defined hereinafter) who are directors and also officers of the Corporation and (ii) employee stock plans of the Corporation in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;at or subsequent to such time the Business Combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding Voting Stock which is not owned by such stockholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Business Combination is proposed prior to the consummation or abandonment of and subsequent to the earlier of the public announcement

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any transaction involving the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which has the

A Person who is the owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding Voting Stock of any corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity shall be presumed to have control of such entity, in the absence of proof by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary; notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such Person holds Voting Stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Section (B), as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"**Interested Stockholder**" means any Person (other than the Corporation and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation) that (i) is the owner of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) is an Affiliate or Associate of the Corporation and was the owner of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Corporation at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such Person is an Interested Stockholder, and the Affiliates and Associates of such Person. Notwithstanding anything in this Section (B) to the contrary, the term "Interested Stockholder" shall not include any Person whose ownership of shares in excess of the fifteen percent (15%) limitation set forth herein is the result of action taken solely by the Corporation, provided that, for purposes of this sentence, such Person shall be an Interested Stockholder if thereafter such Person acquires additional shares of Voting Stock of the Corporation, except as a

------

result of further action by the Corporation not caused, directly or indirectly, by such Person;

**Section 2.02.** *Annual Meetings.* An annual meeting of stockholders, commencing with the year 2014, shall be held for the election of directors and to transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

**Section 2.03.** *Special Meetings.* (a) Special meetings of the stockholders may be called only (i) by the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board (as defined below), or (ii) upon the written request delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, signed and dated by one or more stockholders of record, or beneficial owners, if any, of the Corporation (the "Requesting Stockholders") who own not less than 25% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on each of the matters proposed to be considered at such special meeting (the "Requisite Percentage") and who have complied with all respects of this Section 2.03. Except as otherwise required by law, notice of the special meeting shall be given in accordance with Section 2.04 of this Article 2. Subject to these Bylaws, any special meeting shall be held on such date, and at such time and place, if any, within or without the State of Delaware as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that special meetings of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("Delaware Law").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To be in proper form, any request or requests for a special meeting pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii) above (each, a "Special Meeting Request" and, collectively, the "Special Meeting Requests") (i) must be delivered in accordance with 2.03(a)(ii) by one or more Requesting Stockholders who (a) at the time each Special Meeting Request is delivered, own or are acting on behalf of persons who own, the Requisite Percentage; (b) shall not revoke such Special Meeting Request; and (c) shall continue to own not less than the Requisite Percentage through the date of the special meeting; (ii) must provide a statement of the specific purpose or

purposes of the special meeting, the matter(s) proposed to be acted on at the special meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting and any material interest in such business of each Requesting Stockholder; (iii) must contain such information and representations required by these Bylaws as though such Requesting Stockholders are intending to nominate a candidate for director or propose other business to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Section 2.10 of this Article 2; and (iv) must contain (a) an agreement by the Requesting Stockholders to notify the Corporation promptly in the event of any disposition following the date of the Special Meeting Request of shares of common stock of the Corporation owned by the Requesting Stockholders and (b) an acknowledgement that any such disposition prior to the date of the special meeting shall be deemed to be a revocation of such Special Meeting Request with respect to such disposed shares and that such shares will no longer be included in determining whether the Requisite Percentage has been satisfied.

In determining whether a request for a special meeting has been properly made in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(ii), multiple Special Meeting Requests delivered to the Secretary will be considered together only if (i) each Special Meeting Request identifies substantially the same purpose or purposes of the special meeting and substantially the same matters proposed to be acted on at such meeting (which, if such purpose is the removal of directors, will mean that the exact same person or persons are proposed for removal in each relevant Special Meeting Request), and in each case, as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the directors' fiduciary duties, and (ii) such Special Meeting Requests have been delivered to, and received by, the Secretary no later than the close of business on the sixtieth day following the first date on which a Special Meeting Request is delivered to the Corporation (whether or not such earliest dated Special Meeting Request later is revoked). Any Requesting Stockholder may revoke their Special Meeting Request at any time prior to the date of the special meeting by written revocation to the Secretary of the Corporation delivered to, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation. If, following such revocation there are unrevoked requests from Requesting Stockholders holding in the aggregate less than the Requisite Percentage, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may cancel the special meeting. If none of the Requesting Stockholders who submitted a Special Meeting Request appears or sends a duly authorized representative to present the business proposed to be conducted at the special meeting, the Corporation need not present such business for a vote at such special meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matter may have been received by the Corporation.

For purposes of this Section 2.03, the terms "owned," "owning" and other variations of the word "own" shall have the meaning set forth in Article 2, Section 2.11(a)(viii) of these Bylaws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Secretary shall not be required to call a special meeting pursuant to 2.03(a)(ii) if, in the determination of the Board of Directors made in accordance with the directors' fiduciary duties, (i) the Special Meeting Request does not comply with these Bylaws; (ii) the matter(s) set forth in the Special Meeting Request, relates to an item of business that is not a proper matter for stockholder action under Delaware Law; (iii) the Special Meeting Request is received by the Secretary during the period commencing 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders and ending on the earlier of the close of business (x) on the date of the next annual meeting and (y) thirty days after the first anniversary of the date of the previous meeting; (iv) an identical or substantially similar item of business, as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the directors'

------

fiduciary duties (a "Similar Item"), other than the election of directors, was presented at a meeting of stockholders held not more than twelve months before the Special Meeting Request is received by the Secretary of the Corporation; (v) a Similar Item was presented at a meeting of stockholders held not more than 90 days before the Special Meeting Request is received by the Secretary of the Corporation; (vi) a Similar Item is included in the Corporation's notice of meeting as an item of business to be brought before an annual meeting or special meeting that has been called but not yet held or that is called for 120 days after the Special Meeting Request is received by the Secretary of the Corporation; or (vii) the Special Meeting Request was made in a manner that involved a violation of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or other applicable law. For purposes of this Section 2.03(c), the nomination, election or removal of directors shall be deemed to be a Similar Item with respect to all actions involving the nomination, election or removal of directors, changing the size of the Board and filling of vacancies and/or newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A special meeting called pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii) shall be held at such date, time and place, if any, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors in accordance with these Bylaws, provided, however, that the special meeting shall not be held more than 90 days after receipt by the Corporation of a valid Special Meeting Request. In fixing a date and time for any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting, the Board of Directors may consider such factors as it deems relevant, including, without limitation, the nature of the matters to be considered, the facts and circumstances surrounding any request for the meeting and any plan of the Board of Directors to call an annual meeting or a special meeting. Each Requesting Stockholder is required to (i) update and supplement the Special Meeting Request delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b), if necessary so that it is true and correct as of the record date for the special meeting, not later than ten days following the later of the record date for the meeting day or the date notice of the record date is first publicly disclosed to provide any material changes in the foregoing information as of such record date, (ii) update and supplement the Special Meeting Request delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b) in accordance with the requirements under Section 2.10(a)(iv) of this Article 2 as if such requirements applies herein mutatis mutandis and (ii) promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this Section 2.03(d) shall not limit the Corporation's rights with respect to any deficiencies in any request provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines under these Bylaws or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted a request under these Bylaws to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding nominees, matters, business and/or resolutions proposed to be brought before the special meeting of stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To be properly brought before a special meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. Business transacted at any special meeting as a result of a valid Special Meeting Request shall be limited to (x) the purpose(s) stated in the Special Meeting Request(s) received from the Requisite Percentage of Requesting Stockholders and (y) any additional matters the Board of Directors determines to include in the Corporation's notice of the special meeting. Except as otherwise provided by Delaware Law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the "Certificate of Incorporation") or

------

these Bylaws, the chair of the special meeting shall have the power and authority, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors, to determine whether any business proposed to be brought before a special meeting was proposed in accordance with the foregoing procedures. No business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders except in accordance with this Section 2.03 or as required by Delaware Law.

**Section 2.04.** *Notice of Meetings and Adjourned Meetings; Waivers of Notice.* (a) Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by Delaware Law, such notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. The Board of Directors may postpone, adjourn, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors. Notice of an adjourned meeting need not be given if the time, place, if any, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, are announced at the meeting at which such adjournment is made. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A written waiver of any such notice signed by the person entitled thereto, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends the 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. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

**Section 2.05.** *Quorum.* Unless otherwise provided under the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the "Certificate of Incorporation") or these Bylaws and subject to Delaware Law, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding securities of the Corporation generally entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the chair of the meeting or a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

**Section 2.06.** *Voting.* (a) Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and subject to Delaware Law, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of capital stock of the Corporation held by such stockholder. Any share of capital stock of the Corporation held by the Corporation shall have no voting rights. Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of

------

directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specific circumstances, as may be set forth in the certificate of designations for such class or series of preferred stock, directors shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast (meaning the number of shares voted "for" a nominee must exceed the number of shares voted "against" such nominee) with "abstentions" and "broker non-votes" not counted as a vote cast either "for" or "against" that nominee's election at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; *<u>provided</u>*, *<u>however</u>*, that in a Contested Election of Directors (as defined below), directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast on the election of directors. The term "Contested Election of Directors" shall mean an annual or special meeting of the Corporation with respect to which (i) the Secretary of the Corporation receives a notice that a stockholder has nominated or intends to nominate a person for election to the Board of Directors in compliance with the requirements for stockholder nominees for director set forth in <u>Section 2.10</u> or <u>Section 2.11</u> of these Bylaws and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such stockholder on or prior to the tenth day before the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders. If, with respect to an election of directors not constituting a Contested Election of Directors and for which a quorum is present, any incumbent director does not receive a majority of the votes cast, such director shall promptly tender a resignation following certification of the stockholder vote. Such resignation will be effective only upon the acceptance thereof by the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee shall promptly consider the tendered resignation and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether any other action should be taken with respect thereto. The Board of Directors will act on any such recommendation by the Nominating and Governance Committee within ninety (90) days following certification of the stockholder vote and will promptly publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, appointed by an instrument in writing, subscribed by such stockholder or by his or her attorney thereunto authorized, or by proxy sent by cable, telegram or by any means of electronic communication permitted by law, which results in a writing from such stockholder or by his or her attorney, and delivered to the secretary of the meeting. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from its date, unless said proxy provides for a longer period.

**Section 2.07.** *No Action by Written Consent.* Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock then outstanding, as may be set forth in the certificate of designations for such class or series of preferred stock, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken only upon the vote of stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly noticed and called in accordance with Delaware Law and may not be taken by written consent of stockholders without a meeting.

**Section 2.08.** *Organization.* At each meeting of stockholders, the Chair of the Board of Directors, if one shall have been elected, or in the Chair's absence or if one shall not have been elected, the director designated by the vote of the majority of the directors present at such

------

meeting, shall act as chair of the meeting. The Secretary (or in the Secretary's absence or inability to act, the person whom the chair of the meeting shall appoint secretary of the meeting) shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

**Section 2.09.** *Conduct of Meetings.* The Board of Directors and (to the extent consistent therewith) the chair of the meeting shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as they shall deem necessary or appropriate. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors 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) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (c) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (d) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized proxies or such other persons as the chairperson of the meeting shall determine; (e) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement of the meeting; (f) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; (g) removal of any stockholder or any other individual who refuses to comply with meeting procedures, rules or guidelines; (h) conclusion, recess or adjournment of the meeting, regardless of whether a quorum is present, to a later date and time and at a place, if any, announced at the meeting; (i) restrictions on the use of audio and video recording devices, cell phones and other electronic devices; (j) rules, regulations or procedures for compliance with any state and local laws and regulations concerning safety, health and security; (k) procedures (if any) requiring attendees to provide the Corporation advance notice of their intent to attend the meeting and (l) any guidelines and procedures as the chair may deem appropriate regarding the participation by means of remote communication of stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication. The chair of the meeting, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly brought before the meeting, and, if the chair should so determine, the chair shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter of business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered.

**Section 2.10.** *Nomination of Directors and Proposal of Other Business*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10(a), unless otherwise required by law, if any Proposing Person (1) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act and (2) subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) and Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act, then the Corporation shall disregard any proxies or votes solicited for the proposed nominees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*General*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No person shall be eligible to be nominated by a stockholder to serve as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this <u>Section 2.10</u>. No business proposed by a stockholder shall be conducted at a stockholder meeting except in accordance with this <u>Section 2.10</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The chair of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws or that business was not properly brought before the meeting, and if he or she should so determine, he/she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded or such business shall not be transacted, as the case may be.

other proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded or such proposed business shall not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation and counted for purposes of determining a quorum. For purposes of this <u>Section 2.10</u>, 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 writing 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 writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the notice requirements set forth herein with respect to the proposal of any business pursuant to this <u>Section 2.10</u> shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if such stockholder has submitted a proposal to the Corporation in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, and such stockholder's proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for the meeting of stockholders.

In the event that the number of Stockholder Nominees submitted by Nominating Stockholders pursuant to this <u>Section 2.11</u> exceeds the Maximum Number, the highest ranking Stockholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this <u>Section 2.11</u> from each Nominating Stockholder will be selected for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy materials until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of the shares of common stock of the Corporation that each Nominating Stockholder disclosed as Owned in its respective Nomination Notice submitted to the Corporation. This selection process will continue with the next highest ranking nominees as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Maximum Number is reached.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this <u>Section 2.11</u>, the Corporation may omit from its proxy materials any Stockholder Nominee, and any information concerning such Stockholder Nominee (including a Nominating Stockholder's statement in support), and communicate to its stockholders that such Stockholder Nominee will not be eligible for election at the annual meeting or that no vote will be held or occur as to such Stockholder Nominee, if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Corporation receives a notice (whether or not subsequently withdrawn) that a stockholder intends to nominate any candidate for election to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting pursuant to the advance notice requirements for stockholder nominees set forth in <u>Section 2.10</u> of these Bylaws;

be true and accurate in all material respects (or omits a material fact necessary to make the statement made not misleading), the Stockholder Nominee becomes unwilling or unable to serve on the Board of Directors or any violation or breach occurs of any of the obligations, agreements, representations or warranties of the Nominating Stockholder or the Stockholder Nominee under or pursuant to this <u>Section 2.11</u> and in such case such nomination shall be disregarded and no vote on such Stockholder Nominee will occur (notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation), and the Nominating Stockholder may not, after the last day on which a Nomination Notice would be timely, cure in any way any defect preventing the nomination of the Stockholder Nominee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.11, the Corporation may omit from its proxy statement, or may supplement or correct, any information, including, without limitation, all or any portion of the statement in support of the Stockholder Nominee included in the Nomination Notice, if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the inclusion of such information in the proxy statement would otherwise violate the SEC proxy rules or any other applicable law, rule or regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation may solicit against, and include in the proxy statement its own statement in opposition to the nomination of the Stockholder Nominee and any other statement or information that the Corporation or the Board of Directors determines in its discretion to include in the proxy statement relating to the Stockholder Nominee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if elected as a director of the Corporation, will comply with all publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, stock ownership requirements, confidentiality and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders and not in the interests of individual constituencies; and

Any such resolution that shares of a class or series will only be uncertificated shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Except as otherwise required by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated shares and the rights and obligations of the holders of shares represented by certificates of the same class and series shall be identical.

**ARTICLE 6**

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and

------

exclusive forum for the resolution of any action asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act shall be the federal district courts of the United States of America, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this <u>Section 6.06</u>.

**Section 6.07.** *Amendments.* These Bylaws or any of them, may be altered, amended or repealed, or new Bylaws may be made, by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon at any annual or special meeting thereof or by the Board of Directors.

**Section 7.01.** *Emergency Bylaws*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in the event (i) there is any emergency, disaster or catastrophe, as referred to in Section 110 of the Delaware Law, or other similar emergency condition (each, an "emergency") and (ii) a quorum of the Board of Directors or a standing committee thereof cannot readily be convened for action and (iii) a reasonable person would determine that action by the Board of Directors or a standing committee thereof is reasonably necessary or advisable to be taken under the circumstances, this <u>Section 7.01</u> shall apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Director or any of the Designated Officers (as defined below) may call a meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof by any feasible means and with such advance notice as circumstances permit in the reasonable judgment of the person calling the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted nor the purpose of any such meeting need be specified in the notice thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At any meeting called in accordance with <u>Section 7.01(a)</u>, one-third of the directors shall constitute a quorum, which may in all cases act by majority vote. In the event that no directors are able to attend the meeting, the Designated Officers in attendance shall be deemed directors for such meeting. For purposes of this <u>Article 7</u>, a "Designated Officer" means the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or the Secretary of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Directors may take action to appoint one or more of the directors to membership on any standing or temporary committees of the Board of Directors as they deem advisable. Directors may also take action to designate one or more of the officers of the Corporation to serve as directors of the Corporation while this <u>Article 7</u> applies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent that it considers it practical to do so, the Board of Directors shall manage the business of the Corporation during an emergency in a manner that is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and these Bylaws. It is recognized, however, that in an emergency, it may not always be practical to act in this manner and this <u>Article 7</u> is intended to, and does hereby, empower the Board of Directors with the maximum authority possible under Delaware Law and all other applicable law to conduct the interim management of the affairs of the Corporation in an emergency in what it considers to be in the best interests of the

------

Corporation, including, without limitation, taking any action that it determines to be practical and necessary to address the circumstances of the emergency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No director, officer or employee acting in accordance with this <u>Article 7</u> or otherwise pursuant to Section 110 of Delaware Law (or any successor section) shall be liable except for willful misconduct or bad faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This <u>Article 7</u> shall continue to apply until such time following the emergency when it is feasible for at least a majority of the Board of Directors immediately prior to the emergency to resume management of the business of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At any meeting called in accordance with <u>Section 7.01(a)</u>, the Board of Directors may modify, amend or add to the provisions of this <u>Article 7</u> in order to make any provision that may be practical or necessary given the circumstances of the emergency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The provisions of this <u>Article 7</u> shall be subject to repeal or change by further action of the Board of Directors or by action of the stockholders, but no such repeal or change shall modify the provisions of <u>Section 7.01(e)</u> with regard to action taken prior to the time of such repeal or change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing contained in this <u>Article 7</u> shall be deemed exclusive of any other provisions for emergency powers consistent with other sections of Delaware Law that have been or may be adopted by corporations created under Delaware Law.
