On July 1, 2018, Andrew P. Glaze joined the Board of Directors of National CineMedia, Inc. (the “Company”). Additional information about Mr. Glaze and the conditions surrounding his appointment can be found in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2018. Paula Williams Madison, a director since 2014, resigned from the Board immediately prior to Mr. Glaze’s appointment, and Mr. Glaze was appointed to fill the resulting vacancy.

Mr. Glaze will initially serve on the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board. Following Mr. Glaze’s appointment, the Compensation Committee of the Board is composed of Mr. Glaze, Lawrence A. Goodman, David R. Haas and Thomas F. Lesinksi, and the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board is composed of Mr. Glaze, Mr. Goodman and Scott N. Schneider.

Declassification of Board of Directors

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

At the Company’s Annual Meeting of the Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on July 6, 2018, the stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to declassify the Company’s Board of Directors and to provide instead for the annual election of directors, increase the maximum size of the Board from ten to eleven directors, and amend certain Board approval rights. The amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is more fully described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed on June 11, 2018. The amendment became effective upon acceptance of the filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 6, 2018.

In order to immediately declassify the Board following the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, each of the Company’s Class I and Class II directors, whose terms otherwise expired in 2020 and 2021 respectively, tendered his resignation to the Board and was immediately reappointed to a term ending at the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As a result, all of the Company’s directors will stand for election at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Effective July 6, 2018, the Board also approved an amendment to Section 3.02 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to provide that the Board shall consist of no more than nine directors, provided that the Board may consist of up to eleven directors if needed to appoint directors designated by Standard General L.P. pursuant to the letter agreement between the Company and Standard General dated June 1, 2018.

Copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws as amended are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
NATIONAL CINEMEDIA, INC.

National CineMedia, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies that:


A.	The name of the Corporation is National CineMedia, Inc. The Corporation was originally incorporated under the name National CineMedia, Inc. The Corporation’s original Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 5, 2006.


B.	This Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (this “Certificate”), which amends and restates the original Certificate of Incorporation, as heretofore amended and restated, has been duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).


C.	The text of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as heretofore amended and restated, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

ARTICLE I
NAME

The name of the Corporation is National CineMedia, Inc.

ARTICLE II
REGISTERED ADDRESS, AGENT

The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19801. The name of the Corporation’s registered agent at that address is The Corporation Trust Company.

ARTICLE III
PURPOSES

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the DGCL.

ARTICLE IV
CAPITAL, VOTING, CONVERSION

Section 4.1 Authorized Shares. The total number of shares of capital stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 185,000,000, which shall be divided into the following classes:

(a) 175,000,000 shares shall be of a class designated Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”); and

(b) 10,000,000 shares shall be of a class designated Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding and the number then reserved for issuance upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Rights (including, without limitation, Membership Units)) by an amendment to this Certificate approved by

the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock (and any other class or series of stock entitled to vote with the Common Stock).

Section 4.2 Voting Power of Common Stock. Each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation on which holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote. Except as may otherwise be required by the DGCL, by the provisions of this Certificate or any Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the holders of outstanding shares of each series of Preferred Stock entitled to vote thereon, if any, shall vote as one class with respect to all matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the Corporation, and no separate vote or consent of the holders of shares of Common Stock or the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock, if any, shall be required for the approval of any such matter.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided that the subject matter being voted thereon does not adversely affect the rights, powers or preferences of the Common Stock, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate (including any amendment to any Preferred Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote exclusively thereon pursuant to this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation).

Section 4.3 Exchange Rights.

(a) The LLC shall be entitled to exchange Membership Units, at any time and from time to time, on a one-for-one basis, into the same number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as may be required for the LLC to meet an obligation under the LLC Agreement to redeem Membership Units, subject to the Corporation’s right to elect a Cash Settlement. The LLC’s right to exchange Membership Units, and the Corporation’s obligations under this Section 4.3, shall be subject to the delivery of written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) by a Member to the LLC and the Corporation of such Member’s intent to cause the LLC to redeem all or a portion of the Membership Units held by such Member. The date specified in the Redemption Notice as the date that the LLC shall redeem the Membership Units shall also be the date (the “Exchange Date”) on which the exchange of Membership Units for shares of Common Stock shall occur. The number of Membership Units that the LLC shall issue and deliver to the Corporation for exchange on the Exchange Date pursuant to this Section 4.3 (the “Exchanged Units”) shall be equal to the number of Membership Units specified in the Redemption Notice to be redeemed by the LLC.

(b) Upon receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may elect to deliver shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Exchanged Units (the “Share Settlement”), or may, in lieu of exchanging Common Stock for Exchanged Units, make a cash payment to the LLC in an amount equal to the number of Exchanged Units multiplied by the applicable Exchange Price (the “Cash Settlement”). Within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Corporation shall deliver written notice to the LLC (with a copy to the holder of Membership Units exercising its right to cause the LLC to redeem all or a portion of its Membership Units) of its intended settlement method (the “Settlement Notice”). If a Settlement Notice is not delivered within such three (3) day period, the Corporation shall be deemed to have elected a Share Settlement. If the Corporation elects to satisfy its exchange obligation through a Cash Settlement, then the holder of Membership Units exercising its right to cause the LLC to redeem all or a portion of its Membership Units may retract its Redemption Notice by delivering written notice of retraction (the “Retraction Notice”) to the LLC (with a copy to the Corporation) within two (2) Business Days of delivery of the Settlement Notice. If the Corporation elects to satisfy its exchange obligation through a Cash Settlement, the Corporation will sell to a third party a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Exchanged Units and shall assure that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will equal on a one-for-one basis the number of Membership Units owned by the Corporation. Any Redemption Notice, Settlement Notice or Retraction Notice delivered by or to the Corporation may be delivered by hand or sent by facsimile, electronic mail or nationally recognized

overnight delivery service and shall be deemed given when received if delivered on a Business Day during normal business hours of the recipient or, if not so delivered, on the next Business Day following receipt or delivery.

(c) Unless a timely Retraction Notice has been delivered to the Corporation, on the Exchange Date the following shall occur:

(1) the LLC shall (A) issue and deliver to the Corporation a certificate representing the number of Exchanged Units to be exchanged, and (B) deliver to the Corporation all transfer tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant to Section 4.3(g);

(2) the Corporation shall deliver to the LLC (or such other party that the LLC may designate in accordance with Section 4.3(d)) one of the following:

(i) in a Share Settlement for the Exchanged Units, the Corporation shall issue to the LLC or in such other name or names the LLC may direct a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Exchanged Units; or

(ii) in a Cash Settlement for the Exchanged Units, the Corporation shall pay to the LLC or such other Person as the LLC may direct, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the number of Exchanged Units multiplied by the then applicable Exchange Price.

(d) Unless a timely Retraction Notice has been delivered to the Corporation, on the Exchange Date, provided the LLC has delivered one or more certificates representing Exchanged Units in the manner provided in Section 4.3(c) and paid in cash any amount required by Section 4.3(g), the Corporation will deliver or cause to be delivered at the office of the Corporation’s transfer agent, a certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exchange in a Share Settlement, issued in the name of the LLC or in such other name or names the LLC may direct. If the Corporation has elected a Cash Settlement in accordance with Section 4.3(b), the Corporation will deliver the Cash Settlement amount to the LLC. Such exchange shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Exchange Date. The person or persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the close of business on the Exchange Date.

(e) In the event of a reclassification or other similar transaction as a result of which the shares of Common Stock are converted into another security, then the LLC shall be entitled to receive upon exchange of Membership Units the amount of such security that such holder would have received if such exchange had occurred immediately prior to the record date of such reclassification or other similar transaction. No adjustments in respect of dividends shall be made upon the exchange of any Membership Unit; provided, however , that if a Membership Unit shall be exchanged subsequent to the record date for the payment of a dividend or other distribution on Membership Units but prior to such payment, then the registered holder of such Membership Unit at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive the dividend or other distribution payable on such Membership Unit notwithstanding the exchange thereof or the default in settlement of the exchange or payment of the dividend or distribution due.

(f) The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exchange of Membership Units by the LLC in accordance with this Section 4.3, such number of shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon the exchange of all outstanding Membership Units exchangeable hereunder; provided that nothing contained herein shall preclude the Corporation from satisfying its obligations in respect of the exchange of the outstanding Membership Units by delivery of shares of Common Stock that are held in the treasury of the Corporation. If any shares of Common Stock require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be issued upon exchange, the Corporation will

cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. All shares of Common Stock that are issued upon exchange of the Membership Units will, upon issue, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and be listed upon each national securities exchange, other securities exchange or automated or electronic quotation system upon which the outstanding Common Stock is listed at the time of delivery.

(g) The issuance of certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exchange of Membership Units in a Share Settlement shall be made without charge to the LLC for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance; provided, however , that if any such certificate is to be issued in a name other than that of the LLC, then the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to the LLC for remittance to the Corporation the amount of any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

Section 4.4 Stock Splits, Ratios, Adjusting Outstanding Shares of Common Stock or Membership Units.

(a) The Corporation shall undertake all actions, including, without limitation, a reclassification, dividend, division or recapitalization, with respect to the shares of Common Stock or the Membership Units (in the case of the LLC, the Corporation authorizing such in its capacity as manager of the LLC), to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Membership Units owned by the Corporation and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, disregarding, for purposes of maintaining the one-to-one ratio, shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan that have not vested thereunder, treasury stock, Preferred Stock or other securities of the Corporation that are not convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

(b) The Corporation shall not undertake or authorize (i) any subdivision (by any Membership Unit split, Membership Unit distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or similar event) or combination (by reverse Membership Unit split, reclassification, recapitalization or similar event) of the Membership Units that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Common Stock to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Membership Units owned by the Corporation and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (ii) any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or similar event) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or similar event) of the Common Stock that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Membership Units to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Membership Units owned by the Corporation and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, unless, in either case, such action is necessary to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Membership Units owned by the Corporation and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(c) The Corporation shall not issue, transfer or deliver from treasury stock or repurchase shares of Common Stock unless in connection with any such issuance, transfer or repurchase the Corporation takes or authorizes all requisite action such that, after giving effect to all such issuances, transfers or repurchases, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will equal on a one-for-one basis the number of Membership Units owned by the Corporation. The Corporation shall not issue, transfer or deliver from treasury stock or repurchase shares of Preferred Stock unless in connection with any such issuance, transfer, delivery or repurchase the Corporation takes all requisite action such that, after giving effect to all such issuances, transfers or repurchases, the Corporation holds mirror equity interests of the LLC which (in the good faith determination by the Board) are in the aggregate substantially equivalent to the outstanding Preferred Stock.

Section 4.5 Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the preferences of Preferred Stock, if any, outstanding at any time, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in property or shares of stock of the Corporation as may be declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor.

Section 4.6 Mergers, Consolidation, Etc. The Corporation shall not consolidate, merge, combine or consummate any other transaction (in each case other than incident to an exchange or a conversion of Common Stock and/or other securities for Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate) in which shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or converted into other stock or securities, or the right to receive cash and/or any other property, unless in connection with any such consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction the Membership Units or the shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to be exchanged (subject to proration upon equitable terms in the event of a merger or consolidation upon prorated terms) for or converted into the same kind and amount of stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, as the case may be, into which or for which each Membership Unit or share of Common Stock is exchanged or converted and in each case to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Membership Units or other stock, securities, or rights to receive cash and/or any other property owned by the Corporation and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or other stock, securities, or rights to receive cash and/or any other property issued by the Corporation.

Section 4.7 Preferred Stock. The Board is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by applicable law, to provide from time to time for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the DGCL (a “Preferred Stock Designation”), to establish the rights, powers and preferences of each such series of Preferred Stock, including the following:

(a) the number of shares of that series, which may subsequently be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding) by resolution of the Board, and the distinctive serial designation thereof;

(b) the voting powers, full or limited, if any, of the shares of that series and the number of votes per share;

(c) the rights in respect of dividends on the shares of that series, whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so, from which date or dates and the relative rights or priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series and any limitations, restrictions or conditions on the payment of dividends;

(d) the relative amounts, and the relative rights or priority, if any, of payment in respect of shares of that series, which the holders of the shares of that series shall be entitled to receive upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

(e) the terms and conditions (including the price or prices, which may vary under different conditions and at different redemption or purchase dates), if any, upon which all or any part of the shares of that series may be redeemed or purchased by the Corporation, and any limitations, restrictions or conditions on such redemption or purchase;

(f) the terms, if any, of any purchase, retirement or sinking fund to be provided for the shares of that series;

(g) the terms, if any, upon which the shares of that series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class, classes or series, or other securities, whether or not issued by the Corporation;

(h) the restrictions, limitations and conditions, if any, upon issuance of indebtedness of the Corporation so long as any shares of that series are outstanding; and

(i) any other preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights and limitations not inconsistent with law, this Article IV or any resolution of the Board in accordance with this Article IV.

All shares of any one series of the Preferred Stock shall be alike in all respects. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the Preferred Stock Designation for a series of Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of such series shall have no voting rights except as may be required by the laws of the DGCL. Further, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Preferred Stock Designation for a series of Preferred Stock, no consent or vote of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock or any series thereof shall be required for any amendment to this Certificate that would increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or the number of authorized shares of any series thereof or decrease the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or the number of authorized shares of any series thereof (but not below the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock of such series, as the case may be, then outstanding). Except as may be provided by the Board in a Preferred Stock Designation or by applicable law, shares of any series of Preferred Stock that have been redeemed (whether through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) or purchased by the Corporation, or which, if convertible or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for shares of stock of any other class or series shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as a part of the series of which they were originally a part or may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board or as part of any other series of Preferred Stock.

Section 4.8 Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and liabilities of the Corporation and subject to the prior payment in full of the preferential amounts to which any series of Preferred Stock is entitled, the holders of shares of Common Stock of all classes shall share equally, on a share for share basis, in the assets of the Corporation remaining for distribution to its holders of Common Stock. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other person or persons nor the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation shall itself be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 4.8.

Section 4.9 Notice. The Corporation shall give written notice thereof to all holders of Membership Units (based on the ledger of ownership of the LLC) at least 20 days prior to (i) the date on which the Corporation sets a record date for determining rights in connection with a (x) merger, tender offer, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation or (y) any dividend or distribution (including in liquidation) and (ii) if no such record date is set, the date of such foregoing event.

Stockholders

Section 2.01 Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held on such date as may be determined by the Board, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before such meeting. If the election of directors of the Corporation shall not be held on the day designated for any such meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board shall cause the election to be held at a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation as soon thereafter as conveniently may be held. Failure to hold an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation as required by these Bylaws shall not invalidate any action taken by the Board or by the officers of the Corporation.

Section 2.02 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, may be called only by the Board pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors of the Corporation then in office. Such resolution of the Board shall state the purpose or purposes of such proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special meetings of the stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice.

Section 2.03 Place of Meeting. Each meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such place, either within or outside Delaware, as may be designated in the notice of such meeting, or, if no place is designated in such notice, at the principal office of the Corporation. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any time, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communications in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 2.04 Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise required herein, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by law and whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, notice in writing or by electronic transmission of each meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation stating the place, if any, day and hour of such 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 of the stockholders of the Corporation, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called, shall be given, either personally (including delivery by private courier) or by first class, certified or registered mail, or by electronic transmission, to each stockholder of record entitled to notice of such meeting, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of such

meeting. Such notice shall be deemed to be given, if personally delivered, when delivered to the stockholder, and, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, and if by electronic transmission, when posted on an electronic network or directed to the stockholder at an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation or of the transfer agent or any other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by personal delivery, by mail or by a form of electronic transmission, as applicable, shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. If notice of two consecutive annual meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation and all notices of other meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation to any stockholder during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings, or all, and at least two, payments (if sent by first class mail) of dividends or interest on securities of the Corporation during a 12 month period, have been mailed to such person at his address as shown on the records of the Corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required until another address for such person is delivered to the Corporation. When a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation is adjourned to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At such adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for such adjourned meeting, notice of such adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04.

Section 2.05 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. For the purpose of determining the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock of the Corporation or for any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, which date shall not precede the date upon which the record date is adopted by the Board, and which shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, and not more than 60 days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed then the record date shall be, for determining the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of such stockholders, the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which such meeting is held, or, for determining stockholders of the Corporation for any other purpose, the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of the stockholders of record of the Corporation entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of such stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 2.06 Voting List. The officer of the Corporation who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, at least 10 days before every meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, a complete list of such stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation registered in the name of each such stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 2.06 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 of the Corporation, for any purpose germane to such meeting, for a period of at least 10 days prior to such meeting, either (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required

to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of such 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 of the Corporation. If such meeting is to be held at a place, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of such meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder of the Corporation who is present. If such meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder of the Corporation during the whole time of such meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of such meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the list of stockholders shall be the only evidence as to which stockholders are entitled to examine to determine the stockholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders.

Section 2.07 Proxies. Each stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may authorize another person or persons to act for him, her or it by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Except as otherwise provided by law, a proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the secretary of the Corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date.

Section 2.08 Quorum and Manner of Acting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. If a quorum is present, at all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, the directors of the Corporation will be elected by the plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation). Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, if a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes held by such shares represented at such meeting at which a quorum is present and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of such stockholders. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation so represented may adjourn such meeting from time to time in accordance with Section 2.04, until a quorum shall be present or represented.

Section 2.09 Nominations for the Election of Directors. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, nominations for election to the Board must be made by the Board or by a committee appointed by the Board for such purpose or by any stockholder of any outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors of the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, nominations by the stockholders of the Corporation must be preceded by timely notice in writing to the secretary of the Corporation.

The foregoing notice requirements shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his or her intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) promulgated 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 such annual meeting. The Corporation may require any proposed director nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation.

(the “Settlement Agreement”)) is not nominated, appointed or elected to the Board under circumstances in which the Corporation is required to nominate or appoint such individual in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, then the number of directors of the Corporation may be increased only by that number necessary to permit the Investor Nominee(s) to be appointed as directors, and may not be increased to more than nine (9) directors for any other purpose, but in no event shall the number of directors be increased to more than eleven (11). Each director of the Corporation shall hold office until his or her successor shall be qualified and elected, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. Any newly created directorship or vacancy shall be filled as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation. Directors of the Corporation need not be residents of Delaware or stockholders of the Corporation.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders pursuant to the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom such notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by such stockholder by written notice to the Corporation.


(a)	Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:


(i)	the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent; and


(ii)	such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent of the Corporation, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.

However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation or other action by the Corporation.


(b)	Any notice given pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be deemed given:


(i)	if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder of the Corporation has consented to receive notice;


(ii)	if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder of the Corporation has consented to receive notice;


(iii)	if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of the Corporation of such specific posting, upon the later of such posting and the giving of such separate notice; and


(iv)	if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder of the Corporation.

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.


(c)	An “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed

by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.


(d)	Notice by a form of electronic transmission shall not apply to Sections 164, 296, 311, 312 or 324 of the DGCL.

Section 7.02 Waivers of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to such notice or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting or (in the case of a stockholder of the Corporation) by proxy shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends such meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of such meeting, to the transaction of any business because such meeting was not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting need be specified in any written waiver of notice or waiver of notice by electronic transmission unless required by these Bylaws to be included in the notice of such meeting.

Section 7.03 Presumption of Assent. A director or stockholder of the Corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board or stockholders of the Corporation at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his or her dissent shall be entered in the minutes of such meeting or unless he or she shall file his or her written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of such meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to the secretary of the Corporation immediately after the adjournment of such meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director or stockholder of the Corporation who voted in favor of such action.

Section 7.04 Voting of Securities by the Corporation. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board, on behalf of the Corporation the chairman of the Board, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, president, secretary, treasurer or any vice-president of the Corporation shall attend in person or by substitute appointed by him or her, or shall execute written instruments appointing a proxy or proxies to represent the Corporation at, all meetings of the stockholders of any other corporation, association or other entity in which the Corporation holds any stock or other securities, and may execute written waivers of notice with respect to any such meetings. At all such meetings and otherwise, the chairman of the Board, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, president, secretary, treasurer or any vice-president of the Corporation, in person or by substitute or proxy as aforesaid, may vote the stock or other securities so held by the Corporation and may execute written consents and any other instruments with respect to such stock or securities and may exercise any and all rights and powers incident to the ownership of said stock or securities, subject, however, to the instructions, if any, of the Board.

Section 7.05 Authorized Signatories. The Board may authorize any officer or officers of the Corporation, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation; such authority may be general or restricted to specific instances. Unless so authorized or ratified by the Board or within the agency power of an officer of the Corporation, no officer, agent or employee of the Corporation shall have any power or authority to bind the Corporation by any contract or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount

Section 7.06 Seal. The corporate seal of the Corporation shall be in such form as adopted by the Board, and any officer of the Corporation may, when and as required, affix or impress the seal, or a facsimile thereof, to or on any instrument or document of the Corporation.

Section 7.07 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be as established by resolution of the Board.
