&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of any other business properly presented for action at such meeting shall be held on such day as may be fixed by resolution of the Board; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if the Board deems it impracticable to hold the meeting on the date originally determined, such annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held as soon as practicable after such date on a date to be specified in a resolution of the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) An annual meeting of the stockholders may be postponed by resolution of the Board upon prior notice or public disclosure given on or prior to the date previously scheduled for such annual meeting of the stockholders. An annual meeting of the stockholders may be postponed by the Corporation to such time and place, if any, as is specified in the notice of postponement of such meeting. In addition, an annual meeting of the stockholders may be adjourned, postponed, or rescheduled by the chairperson of the meeting for any reason (including, if the chairperson of the meeting determines that it would be in the best interests of the Corporation to extend the period of time for the solicitation of proxies), or without reason, whether or not a quorum is present from time to time and place to place until the chairperson of the meeting shall determine that the business to be conducted at the meeting is completed, which determination shall be conclusive.

------

For a proposal to be properly brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice for a stockholder proposal (other than a director nomination) must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, if no annual meeting of the stockholders was held in the previous year, or if the date of the applicable annual meeting of the stockholders has been changed by more than thirty (30) days before or after the anniversary date of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice for a stockholder proposal (other than a director nomination) must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation by the Secretary of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to such annual meeting of the stockholders date or, if the public disclosure of such annual meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such annual meeting of the stockholders, a stockholder's notice for a stockholder proposal (other than a director nomination) must be must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation by the Secretary of the Corporation no later than the seventh (7<sup>th</sup>) day following the day on which the public disclosure of the date of such meeting was made. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of the stockholders, or the public disclosure thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described above. For purposes of these By-Laws, "<u>public disclosure</u>" means the disclosure in a press release reported by the Business Wire, Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or other broadly disseminated national news service or in a document that the Corporation publicly files with or furnishes to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (such act, as amended, or any successor provision thereto, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "<u>Exchange Act</u>").

The obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these By-Laws shall not limit the Corporation's rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder or extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or under any other provision of these By-Laws.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these By-Laws, the
Corporation shall include in its proxy statement for an annual meeting of the stockholders held after the 2021 annual meeting of the stockholders the name, together with the Required Information (as defined below), of qualifying person(s) nominated
for election (the " <u>Stockholder Nominee</u> ") to the Board by an eligible stockholder or eligible group of stockholders that satisfy the requirements of this Section 2(d), including qualifying as an Eligible Stockholder (as defined
in subsection (v) below) and that expressly elects at the time of providing the written notice required by this Section 2(d) (a " <u>Proxy Access Notice</u> ") to have its nominee included in the Corporation's proxy materials
pursuant to this Section 2(d). For the purposes of this Section 2(d):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) " <u>Constituent Holder</u> " shall mean any stockholder, fund included within a Qualifying Fund (as
defined in subsection (v) below) or beneficial holder whose stock ownership is counted for the purpose of qualifying as holding the Proxy Access Request Required Shares (as defined in subsection (v) below) or qualifying as an Eligible
Stockholder (as defined in subsection (v) below); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) a stockholder (including any Constituent Holder) shall be deemed to "own" only those outstanding
shares of voting stock as to which the stockholder (or such Constituent Holder) itself possesses both (a) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (b) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for
profit and risk of loss on) such shares. The number of shares calculated in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall be deemed not to include (and to the extent any of the following arrangements have been entered into by
affiliates of the stockholder (or of any Constituent Holder), shall be reduced by) any shares (x) sold by such stockholder or Constituent Holder (or any of either's affiliates) in any transaction that has not been settled or closed,
including any short sale, (y) borrowed by such stockholder or Constituent Holder (or any of either's affiliates) for any purposes or purchased by such stockholder or Constituent Holder (or any of either's affiliates) pursuant to an
agreement to resell, or (z) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such stockholder or Constituent Holder (or any of either's affiliates), whether any
such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares, cash or other consideration, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, or if exercised by either party thereto would have, the

------

purpose or effect of (i) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such stockholder's or Constituent Holder's (or either's affiliates') full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (ii) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such stockholder or Constituent Holder (or either's affiliates). For purposes of this Section 2(d), a stockholder (including any Constituent Holder) shall "own" shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the stockholder itself (or such Constituent Holder itself) retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and the right to direct the disposition thereof and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. For purposes of this Section 2(d), a stockholder's (including any Constituent Holder's) ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the stockholder has loaned such shares so long as such stockholder retains the power to recall such shares on no greater than five (5) business days' notice or has delegated any voting power over such shares by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement so long as such delegation is revocable at any time by the stockholder; <u>provided</u> that in the case of loaned shares, such shares are recalled either (i) no later than the final date when a Proxy Access Notice pursuant to this Section 2(d) may be timely delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation or (ii) upon the request of the Corporation following the Corporation's indication to the Eligible Stockholder that its nominee(s) will be included in the Corporation's proxy statement subject to the terms herein; <u>provided</u> that, in either such case where the shares are recalled in accordance with the foregoing, such shares remain recalled (and otherwise "owned" as defined herein) through the annual meeting of the stockholders. The terms "owned," "owning" and other variations of the word "own" shall have correlative meanings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) For purposes of this Section 2, the "Required Information" that the Corporation will include in
its proxy statement is: (i) the information concerning the Stockholder Nominee and the Eligible Stockholder that the Corporation determines is required to be disclosed in the Corporation's proxy statement by the regulations promulgated
under Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act; and (ii) if the Eligible Stockholder so elects, a Statement (as defined in Section 2(d)(vii) below). The Corporation shall also include the name of the Stockholder Nominee in its proxy card. For
the avoidance of doubt, and any other provision of these By-Laws notwithstanding, the Corporation may in its sole discretion solicit against, and include in the proxy statement (and other proxy materials) its
own statements or other information relating to, any Eligible Stockholder and/or Stockholder Nominee, including any information provided to the Corporation with respect to the foregoing.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To be timely, a stockholder's Proxy Access Notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the
principal executive offices of the Corporation by the Secretary of the Corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days in advance of the first anniversary of the date the Corporation's proxy statement was released to
stockholders for the preceding year's annual meeting of the stockholders. In no event shall the public disclosure of an adjournment or postponement of a stockholders' meeting (or such adjournment or postponement) commence a new time period
for the giving of a Proxy Access Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The number of Stockholder Nominees (including Stockholder Nominees that were submitted by an Eligible
Stockholder for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2(d) but either are subsequently withdrawn or that the Board decides to nominate as the Board's nominees) appearing in the Corporation's
proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting of the stockholders shall not exceed the greater of (x) two (2) and (y) the largest whole number that does not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the number of directors in office as of the
last day on which a Proxy Access Notice may be delivered in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2(d) (such greater number, the " <u>Permitted Number</u> "); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Permitted Number
available for proxy access candidates shall be reduced by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the number of such director candidates for which the Corporation shall have received one (1) or more valid
stockholder notices nominating director candidates pursuant to Article III, Section 12 of these By-Laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the number of directors in office or director candidates that in either case will be included in the
Corporation's proxy materials with respect to such annual meeting of the stockholders as an unopposed (by the Corporation) nominee pursuant to an agreement, arrangement or other understanding with a stockholder or group of stockholders (other
than any such agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with an acquisition of voting stock, by such stockholder or group of stockholders, from the Corporation), other than any such director referred to in this clause
(B) who at the time of such annual meeting of the stockholders will have served as a director continuously, as a nominee of the Board, for at least two (2) terms; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) the number of directors in office that will be included in the Corporation's proxy materials with respect
to such annual meeting of the stockholders for whom access to the Corporation's proxy materials was previously provided pursuant to this Section 2(d), other than any such director referred to in this clause (C) who at the time of such
annual meeting of the stockholders will have served as a director continuously, as a nominee of the Board, for at least two (2) terms;

<u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that in no circumstance shall the Permitted Number exceed the number of directors to be elected at the applicable annual meeting of the stockholders as noticed by the Corporation and in the event the Board resolves to reduce the size of the Board effective on or prior to the date of the annual meeting of the stockholders, the Permitted Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced. An Eligible Stockholder submitting more than one (1) Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to this Section 2(d) shall rank such Stockholder Nominees based on the order that the Eligible Stockholder desires such Stockholder Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy statement and include such specified rank in its Proxy Access Notice. If the number of Stockholder Nominees pursuant to this Section 2(d) for an annual meeting of the stockholders exceeds the Permitted Number, then the highest ranking qualifying Stockholder Nominee from each Eligible Stockholder will be selected by the Corporation for inclusion in the proxy statement until the Permitted Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of the ownership position as disclosed in each Eligible Stockholder's Proxy Access Notice. If the Permitted Number is not reached after the highest ranking Stockholder Nominee from each Eligible Stockholder has been selected, this selection process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Permitted Number is reached.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) An " <u>Eligible Stockholder</u> " is one (1) or more stockholders of record who own and have
owned, or are acting on behalf of one (1) or more beneficial owners who own and have owned (in each case as defined above), in each case continuously for at least three (3) years as of both the date that the Proxy Access Notice is received
by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 2(d), and as of the record date for determining stockholders eligible to vote at the annual meeting of the stockholders, at least three percent (3%) of the aggregate voting power of the voting stock
(the " <u>Proxy Access Request Required Shares</u> "), and who continue to own the Proxy Access Request Required Shares at all times between the date such Proxy Access Notice is received by the Corporation and the date of the applicable
annual meeting of the stockholders; <u>provided</u> that the aggregate number of stockholders, and, if and to the extent that a stockholder is acting on behalf of one or more beneficial owners, of such beneficial owners, whose stock ownership is
counted for the purpose of satisfying the foregoing ownership requirement shall not exceed twenty (20). Two (2) or more collective investment funds that are part of the same family of funds by virtue of being under common management and
investment control, under common management and sponsored primarily by the same employer or a "group of investment companies" (as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) (a
" <u>Qualifying Fund</u> ") shall be treated as one (1) stockholder for the purpose of determining the aggregate number of stockholders in this Section 2(d); <u>provided</u> that each

------

fund included within a Qualifying Fund otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Section 2(d). No shares may be attributed to more than one (1) group constituting an Eligible Stockholder under this Section 2(d)(v) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no stockholder may be a member of more than one (1) group constituting an Eligible Stockholder). A record holder acting on behalf of one (1) or more beneficial owners will not be counted separately as a stockholder with respect to the shares owned by beneficial owners on whose behalf such record holder has been directed in writing to act, but each such beneficial owner will be counted separately, subject to the other provisions of this Section 2(d)(v), for purposes of determining the number of stockholders whose holdings may be considered as part of an Eligible Stockholder's holdings. For the avoidance of doubt, Proxy Access Request Required Shares will qualify as such if, and only if, the beneficial owner of such shares as of the date of the Proxy Access Notice has itself individually beneficially owned such shares continuously for the three-year (3-year) period ending on that date and through the other applicable dates referred to above (in addition to the other applicable requirements being met).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) No later than the final date when a Proxy Access Notice pursuant to this Section 2(d) may be timely
delivered to the Secretary, an Eligible Stockholder (including each Constituent Holder) must provide the following information in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) with respect to each Constituent Holder, the name and address of, and number of shares of voting stock owned
by, such person;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) one (1) or more written statements from the record holder of the shares (and from each intermediary
through which the shares are or have been held during the requisite three-year (3-year) holding period) verifying that, as of a date within seven (7) days prior to the date the Proxy Access Notice is
delivered to the Corporation, such person owns, and has owned continuously for the preceding three (3) years, the Proxy Access Request Required Shares, and such person's agreement to provide:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) within ten (10) days after the record date for the annual meeting of the stockholders, written statements
from the record holder and intermediaries verifying such person's continuous ownership of the Proxy Access Request Required Shares through the record date, together with any additional information reasonably requested to verify such
person's ownership of the Proxy Access Request Required Shares; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) immediate notice if the Eligible Stockholder ceases to own any of the Proxy Access Request Required Shares
prior to the date of the applicable annual meeting of the stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) the information contemplated by Article III, Section 12 of these By-Laws (with references to a "Proposing Person" therein to include such Eligible Stockholder (including each Constituent Holder));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) a representation that such person:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) acquired the Proxy Access Request Required Shares in the ordinary course of business and not with the intent to
change or influence control of the Corporation, and does not have any such intent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) has not nominated and will not nominate for election to the Board at the annual meeting of the stockholders any
person other than the Stockholder Nominee(s) being nominated pursuant to this Section 2(d);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) has not engaged and will not engage in, and has not been and will not be a "participant" in another
person's, "solicitation" within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the Exchange Act in support of the election of any individual as a director at the annual meeting of the stockholders other
than its Stockholder Nominee(s) or a nominee of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) will not distribute to any stockholder any form of proxy for the annual meeting of the stockholders other than
the form distributed by the Corporation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the Corporation and its
stockholders that are and will be true and correct in all material respects and do not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and will otherwise comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with any actions taken pursuant to this Section 2(d);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) in the case of a nomination by a group of stockholders that together is such an Eligible Stockholder, the
designation by all group members of one group member that is authorized to act on behalf of all members of the nominating stockholder group with respect to the nomination and matters related thereto, including withdrawal of the nomination; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F) an undertaking that such person agrees to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) assume all liability stemming from, and indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and each of its directors,
officers and employees individually against any liability, loss or damages in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative or investigative, against the Corporation or any of its directors,
officers or employees arising out of any legal or regulatory violation arising out of the Eligible Stockholder's communications with the stockholders of the Corporation or out of the information that the Eligible Stockholder (including such
person) provided to the Corporation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) promptly provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may reasonably request; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission any solicitation by the Eligible Stockholder of stockholders
of the Corporation relating to the annual meeting of the stockholders at which the Stockholder Nominee will be nominated.

In addition, no later than the final date when a nomination pursuant to this Section 2(d) may be delivered to the Corporation, a Qualifying Fund whose share ownership is counted for purposes of qualifying as an Eligible Stockholder must provide to the Secretary of the Corporation documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Board that demonstrates that the funds included within the Qualifying Fund satisfy the definition thereof. In order to be considered timely, any information required by this Section 2(d) to be provided to the Corporation must be supplemented (by delivery to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation): (1) no later than ten (10) days following the record date for the applicable annual meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof, to disclose the foregoing information as of such record date; and (2) no later than eight (8) days before the annual meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof, to disclose the foregoing information as of the date that is no earlier than ten (10) days prior to such annual meeting of the stockholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to update and supplement such information shall not permit any Eligible Stockholder or other person to change or add any proposed Stockholder Nominee or be deemed to cure any defects or limit the remedies (including, without limitation, under these By-Laws) available to the Corporation relating to any defect. The obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these By-Laws shall not limit the Corporation's rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder or extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or under any other provision of these By-Laws.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) The Eligible Stockholder may provide to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, at
the time the information required by this Section 2(d) is originally provided, a written statement for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy statement for the annual meeting of the stockholders, not to exceed five hundred (500) words,
in support of the candidacy of such Eligible Stockholder's Stockholder Nominee (the " <u>Statement</u> "). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2(d), the Corporation may omit from its proxy materials
any information or Statement that it, in good faith, believes is materially false or misleading, omits to state any material fact, directly or indirectly without factual foundation impugns the character, integrity or personal reputation of or makes
charges concerning improper, illegal or immoral conduct or associations with respect to any person or would violate any applicable law or regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) No later than the final date when a nomination pursuant to this Section 2(d) may be delivered to the
Corporation, each Stockholder Nominee must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) provide the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Article III,
Section 12 of these By-Laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) provide an executed agreement, in a form deemed satisfactory by the Board or its designee (which form shall be
provided by the Corporation reasonably promptly upon written request of a stockholder), that such Stockholder Nominee consents to being named in the Corporation's proxy statement and form of proxy card (and will not agree to be named in any
other person's proxy statement with respect to the Corporation) as a nominee and intends to serve as a director of the Corporation for the entire term if elected;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) complete, sign and submit all questionnaires, representations and agreements required by these By-Laws or of the Corporation's directors generally; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) provide such additional information as necessary to permit the Board to determine: (1) if any of the
matters referred to in Section 2(d)(x) below apply; (2) if such Stockholder Nominee has any direct or indirect relationship with the Corporation other than those relationships that have been deemed categorically immaterial pursuant to any
publicly disclosed corporate governance guideline or committee charter of the Corporation; or (3) if such Stockholder Nominee is or has been subject to any event specified in Rule 506(d)(1) of Regulation D (or any successor rule) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " <u>Securities Act</u> ") or Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K (or any successor rule) under the Exchange Act, without reference to whether the event is material to
an evaluation of the ability or integrity of such Stockholder Nominee.

------

In the event that any information or communications provided by the Eligible Stockholder (or any Constituent Holder) or the Stockholder Nominee to the Corporation or its stockholders ceases to be true and correct in all material respects or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, each Eligible Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Secretary of the Corporation of any defect in such previously provided information and of the information that is required to correct any such defect; it being understood for the avoidance of doubt that providing any such notification shall not be deemed to cure any such defect or limit the remedies (including, without limitation, under these By-Laws) available to the Corporation relating to any such defect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) Any Stockholder Nominee who is included in the Corporation's proxy materials for a particular annual
meeting of the stockholders but either (A) withdraws from or becomes ineligible or unavailable for election at that annual meeting of the stockholders or (B) does not receive votes cast in favor of the Stockholder Nominee's election
of at least twenty (20) percent of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the annual meeting of the stockholders will be ineligible to be a Stockholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 2(d) for the next two (2) annual
meetings of the stockholders. Any Stockholder Nominee who is included in the Corporation's proxy statement for a particular annual meeting of the stockholders, but subsequently is determined not to satisfy the eligibility requirements of this
Section 2(d) or any other provision of these By-Laws, the Certificate of Incorporation or any applicable regulation any time before the annual meeting of the stockholders, will not be eligible for
election at the relevant annual meeting of the stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) The Corporation shall not be required to include, pursuant to this Section 2(d), a Stockholder Nominee in
its proxy materials for any annual meeting of the stockholders, or, if the proxy statement already has been filed, to allow the nomination of (or vote with respect to) a Stockholder Nominee (and may declare such nomination ineligible),
notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) who is not independent under the listing standards of the principal U.S. exchange upon which the common stock
of the Corporation is listed, any applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any publicly disclosed standards or policies used or adopted by the Board in determining and disclosing independence of the Corporation's
directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) whose service as a member of the Board would violate or cause the Corporation to be in violation of these By-Laws, the Certificate of Incorporation, the rules and listing standards of the principal U.S. exchange upon which the common stock of the Corporation is traded, or any applicable law, rule or regulation;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) who is or has been, within the past three (3) years, an officer or director of a competitor, as defined in
Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, as amended, or who is a subject of a pending criminal proceeding, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding within the past ten (10) years or is subject to an order of the type specified in
Rule 506(d) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) if the Eligible Stockholder (or any Constituent Holder) or applicable Stockholder Nominee otherwise breaches or
fails to comply in any material respect with its obligations pursuant to this Section 2(d) or any agreement, representation or undertaking required by this Section 2(d) or Article III, Section 12 of these By-Laws; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) if the Eligible Stockholder ceases to be an Eligible Stockholder for any reason, including, but not limited to,
not owning the Proxy Access Request Required Shares through the date of the applicable annual meeting of the stockholders.

Clauses (A), (B), and (C) and, to the extent related to a breach or failure by the Stockholder Nominee, clause (D), will result in the exclusion from the proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2(d) of the specific Stockholder Nominee to whom the ineligibility applies, or, if the proxy statement already has been filed, the ineligibility of such Stockholder Nominee to be nominated; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that clause (E) and, to the extent related to a breach or failure by an Eligible Stockholder (or any Constituent Holder), clause (D) will result in the voting stock owned by such Eligible Stockholder (or Constituent Holder) being excluded from the Proxy Access Request Required Shares (and, if as a result the Proxy Access Notice shall no longer have been filed by an Eligible Stockholder, the exclusion from the proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2(d) of all of the applicable stockholder's Stockholder Nominees from the applicable annual meeting of the stockholders or, if the proxy statement has already been filed, the ineligibility of all of such stockholder's Stockholder Nominees to be nominated).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Except as otherwise provided by law, at any time following the Corporation's receipt of a proposal, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power to determine whether any matter proposed to be brought before the annual meeting of the stockholders was proposed in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2 and if any proposal is not in compliance with this Section 2, the chairperson of the meeting may exclude such proposal from the annual meeting of the stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, a stockholder who seeks to have any proposal included in the Corporation's proxy materials shall comply with the requirements of Rule l4a-8 of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) In the event a proposal is presented for action at such annual meeting of the stockholders which, in the opinion of the ranking executive officer of the Corporation attending such meeting, requires the giving of prior notice of such business to stockholders, no action shall be taken on such proposal at such meeting unless and until proof of timely and adequate notice of such proposal shall have been filed with and accepted by the ranking executive officer of the Corporation attending such meeting.

**Section 3. *Special Meetings***. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the Chief Executive Officer, and shall be called by the Chairperson of the Board (the "<u>Chairperson</u>"), the Chief Executive Officer, the President, a Vice President, the Secretary of the Corporation or an Assistant Secretary, at the request in writing of a majority of the Board, or of a majority of the Executive Committee, or of stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding shares having voting power. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. At any special meeting of the stockholders, only such nominations or business shall be conducted or considered as shall have been properly brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting.

**Section 4. *Organization of Meetings****.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) A person designated by the Board, or in the absence of such designation, a person chosen at the meeting, shall serve as the chairperson of the meeting (the "<u>chairperson of the meeting</u>"). The chairperson of the meeting shall preside at each meeting of stockholders. The Secretary of the Corporation, or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary of the Corporation and all Assistant Secretaries, a person whom the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep a record of the proceedings thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Board shall be entitled to make such rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board prior to such meeting, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules and regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in his or her discretion, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chairperson of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) convening the meeting and recessing or adjourning the meeting (whether or not a quorum is present, for any reason or without reason, and without notice other than announcement at the meeting); (ii) determining and announcing the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote; (iii) establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (iv) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (v) limitations or attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies, or such other persons as the chairperson of the meeting shall determine; (vi) establishing rules and procedures with respect to the recess and adjournment of the meeting; (vii) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; (viii) restrictions on photography or the use of any audio or video recording devices (including cellular phones) at the meeting; and (ix) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, the chairperson of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that a matter of business was not properly brought before the meeting and if the chairperson of the meeting should so determine, the chairperson of the meeting shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business determined not to be brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered.

**Section 5. *Notice***. Notice of all stockholders' meetings stating the time and place, if any, and, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting of stockholders is to be held, unless the stockholder's meeting is called by the Chairperson, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, a Vice President, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, at the request in writing of a majority of the Board, in which case such notice shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting of stockholders is to be held. If mailed, notice shall be directed to the stockholder at his or her last known post office address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation.

**Section 6. *Notice of Adjourned Meeting***. Any stockholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned or postponed from time to time by either the Chairperson or a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy. When a meeting is adjourned or postponed to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned or postponed meeting, except as otherwise required by this Section 6, if the time and place, 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 adjourned meeting are (i) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, (ii) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxy holders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication, or (iii) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with Section 4 and Article X. At such adjourned or postponed meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. If the adjournment or postponement is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment or postponement a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned or postponed meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

**Section 7. *Proxies***. At any meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder entitled to vote may vote either in person or by proxy, but no proxy shall be voted on after three (3) years from its date, unless such proxy shall, on its face, name a longer period for which it is to remain in force. Each proxy either (a) shall be authorized in writing, subscribed by the stockholder or his or her duly authorized attorney, but need not be sealed, witnessed or acknowledged, and shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation at or before the meeting, or (b) shall be authorized by means of an electronic transmission as permitted by law and shall be filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting.

------

**Section 8. *Quorum***. At any annual or special meeting of stockholders a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum, except as otherwise provided by law, but if at any meeting of the stockholders there be less than a quorum present, the stockholders present at such meeting may, without further notice, adjourn the same from time to time until a quorum shall attend, but no business shall be transacted at any such adjourned meeting except such as might have been lawfully transacted had the meeting not been adjourned.

**Section 9. *Voting***. Except as otherwise expressly required by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, each stockholder shall at each meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of stock of the Corporation entitled to be voted thereat held by him or her and registered in his or her name on the books of the Corporation (a) on such date as may be fixed pursuant to Article VIII of these By-Laws as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting; or (b) in the event that no record date shall have been so fixed, on the date of such meeting; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, except where a record date shall have been so fixed, no share of stock of the Corporation shall be voted at any election of directors which shall have been transferred on the books of the Corporation within twenty (20) days prior to such election of directors.

The vote for directors and, upon the demand of any stockholder, the vote upon any question before the meeting shall be by ballot. Except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, and except for the election of directors (which shall be governed by Article III, Section 7 of these By-Laws), each question properly presented to any meeting of stockholders shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the question entitled to vote thereon. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be announced at the meeting by the Chairperson (or other presiding officer of the Corporation).

**Section 10. *List of Stockholders***. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the residence of each, and the number of voting shares held by each. Nothing contained in this <u>Section</u> <u>10</u> 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, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, <u>provided</u> that the information required to gain access to such list is furnished with the notice of the meeting or (b) 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.

**Section 11. *Meetings by Remote Communication***. The Board, acting in its sole discretion, may establish guidelines and procedures in accordance with applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "<u>DGCL</u>") and any other applicable law for the participation 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 communications. Stockholders and proxy holders 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 communications.

------

**Section 12. *Judges of Election***. Whenever a vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be by ballot, the polls shall be opened and closed, the proxies and ballots shall be received, and all questions pertaining to the qualification of voters and the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided by one (1) or more Judges of Election. Such Judge(s) of Election shall be appointed by the Board before or at the meeting, or in default thereof, by the officer presiding at the meeting, and shall be sworn to the faithful performance of their duties. If any Judge of Election previously appointed shall fail to attend or refuse or be unable to serve, a substitute shall be appointed by the presiding officer.

**Section 13. *Consent Notice***. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation, request the Board to fix a record date. Such notice shall include the items required to be included in a stockholder notice delivered pursuant to the Article II, Section 2(c) or Article III, Section 12, as applicable (including, in the case of a proposed action by written consent to elect directors, the written questionnaire and representation and agreement required pursuant to Article III, Section 12). The Board shall promptly, but in all events within ten (10) days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the Board within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or any officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings for stockholder meetings are recorded, to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation. Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board and prior action by the Board is required by applicable law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board adopts a resolution taking such prior action.

**ARTICLE III** 

**DIRECTORS**

An election shall be considered to be a contested election if, as of the date that is twenty-one (21) days prior to the date that the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented, and regardless of whether any notice of stockholder business or nominations have been withdrawn or deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction), there are more nominees for election than positions on the Board to be filled by election at that meeting. For purposes of this Article III, Section 7 a majority of votes cast shall mean that the number of shares voted "for" a director's election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that director's election. "Votes cast" includes votes "for" that director's election plus votes to withhold authority with respect to that director's election and excludes abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to that director's election.

The Board shall act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Nominating, Governance and Social Responsibility Committee's recommendation, within ninety (90) days following the certification of the stockholder vote. The Nominating, Governance and Social Responsibility Committee in making its recommendation, and the Board in making its decision, may consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate and relevant. The director who failed to be elected as such by the vote of the majority of the votes cast by stockholders at a meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present shall not vote with respect to the recommendation of the Nominating, Governance and Social Responsibility Committee or the decision of the Board with respect to whether or not to accept his or her resignation. The Board will promptly disclose publicly its decision and, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the tendered resignation.

A resignation from the Board must be delivered in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be deemed to take effect only upon its receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation unless otherwise specified therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In the event that a person is validly designated as a nominee to be elected to the Board in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12 and thereafter becomes unable or unwilling to stand for election to the Board, the Proposing Person may designate a substitute nominee, if such substitute nominee is designated within and in accordance with the time limitations set forth in this Section 12 (or, as applicable with respect to a Proxy Access Notice, Article II, Section 2(d) of these By-Laws), upon providing the information specified in clause (a) above with respect to such substitute nominee (and, as applicable with respect to a Proxy Access Notice, Article II, Section 2(d) of these By-Laws).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 12.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, unless otherwise required by law, (i) no Proposing Person shall solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation's nominees unless such Proposing Person has complied with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act in connection with the solicitation of such proxies, including, without limitation, the timely provision to the Corporation of notices required thereunder and (ii) if any Proposing Person (A) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the

The obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these By-Laws shall not limit the Corporation's rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder or extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or under any other provision of these By-Laws.

Subject to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and Article II, Section 2(d) of these By-Laws, nothing in these By-Laws shall be construed to permit any stockholder, or give any stockholder the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Corporation's proxy statement any nomination of a director or directors or any other business proposal, statement or communication.
