NOTICE OF ACTIONS BY WRITTEN CONSENTS OF HOLDER OF
NOT LESS THAN A MAJORITY OF THE AGGREGATE VOTING POWER
OF ALL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
Dear World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. Stockholders:
The purpose of the enclosed Information Statement of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is to inform you of (A) actions taken by written consent of Vincent K. McMahon on January 5, 2023 (i) to remove each of JoEllen Lyons Dillon, Jeffrey R. Speed and Alan M. Wexler (the “Removals”) from the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), without cause; (ii) to fill the vacancies on the Board resulting from the removal of such directors with Mr. McMahon, Michelle D. Wilson and George A. Barrios, as further described in this Information Statement (collectively, the “New Directors” and such filling of vacancies, the “Appointments”); and (iii) to further amend and restate the Company’s current amended and restated by-laws (the “Old By-Laws” and as further amended and restated following the effectiveness of the January 5th Actions, the “January 5th By-Laws”) (such actions taken together, the “January 5th Actions”), and (B) action taken by written consent of Mr. McMahon on January 16, 2023 to substantially repeal the January 5th By-Laws Amendments (as defined below) (such action, the “January 16th Action” and together with the January 5th Actions, the “Actions”). For more information on the Actions, see the section entitled “Background and Reasons for Actions.”
Mr. McMahon is the beneficial and record owner of not less than a majority of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in an election of directors as of the January 5th Record Date (as defined below) and the January 16th Record Date (as defined below) (each, a “Record Date”). As of the close of business on each of the Record Dates, Mr. McMahon owned beneficially and of record shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock, representing approximately 81.0% of the Company’s total voting power (for more information see, “Security Ownership Of Certain Beneficial Owners And Management”). The enclosed Information Statement shall be considered the notice required under Section 228(e) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).
The Board is not soliciting your consents or your proxies in connection with the Actions, and no consents or proxies are being requested from stockholders. Mr. McMahon took the January 5th Actions and the January 16th Action on January 5, 2023 and January 16, 2023, respectively, without a meeting by delivering to the Company written consents representing 28,682,948 shares of Class B Common Stock, which was approximately 81.0% of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote as of the applicable Record Dates. Accordingly, under Delaware law, the January 5th Actions became effective upon delivery of the January 5th Consent (as defined below) to the Company on January 5, 2023 and the January 16th Actions became effective upon delivery of the January 16th Consent to the Company on January 16, 2023, respectively.
Though the Company did not participate in the solicitation of stockholder consents that resulted in the taking of the Actions by Mr. McMahon, the Company is furnishing the enclosed Information Statement to the holders of record of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of the Company, as of the close of business on January 5, 2023 (the “January 5th Record Date”) and on January 16, 2023 (the “January 16 Record Date”) to comply with the requirements of Regulation 14C under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Section 228(e) of the DGCL.

The Company will first mail the Information Statement on or about February 24, 2023 to our stockholders of record as of January 5, 2023 and January 16, 2023.
THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS, AND NO STOCKHOLDER MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN. THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS BEING FURNISHED TO YOU SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF INFORMING STOCKHOLDERS OF THE MATTERS DESCRIBED HEREIN PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(c) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT AND THE REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER, INCLUDING REGULATION 14C AND PURSUANT TO SECTION 228(e) OF THE DGCL.

On January 5, 2023, Mr. McMahon acted by written consent to remove JoEllen Lyons Dillon, Jeffrey R. Speed and Alan M. Wexler without cause as directors of the Company and to fill such vacancies by electing himself, George Barrios and Michelle Wilson as new directors of the Company.

Vincent K. McMahon
Vincent K. McMahon, co-founder of our Company, is Executive Chairman of the Board and Chair of the Executive Committee since January 2023. Previously, Mr. McMahon served as the Chairman of the Board, Chair of the Executive Committee and Chief Executive Officer of the Company until July 2022.

George Barrios
George A. Barrios has served as Co-Founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Isos Capital Management (“Isos”), an independent investment firm focused on investment opportunities in the media, entertainment and sports industries, since January 2021. He has served as Co-President of Progress Acquisition Corporation (“Progress”), a media-focused special purpose acquisition company, since August 2022. Mr. Barrios previously served as the Co-Founder, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman of Isos Acquisition Corporation from January 2021 until its merger with Bowlero Corp. (NYSE: BOWL) (“Bowlero”), a global leader in bowling entertainment, in December 2021. Mr. Barrios was appointed National Board Chair of the Make-A-Wish Foundation in March 2021. Prior to co-founding Isos, he served as Co-President and a director at WWE from February 2018 to January 2020. He was the Chief Strategy & Financial Officer of the WWE from November 2013 to February 2018, and Chief Financial Officer from March 2008 to November 2013. Before that, he was Vice President and Treasurer of The New York Times Company, a diversified media company and leading source of independent journalism, from January 2007 to March 2008. Mr. Barrios joined The New York Times Company in April 2002 as Chief Financial Officer of a subsidiary, which published, among other things, The Boston Globe. Prior to that, from September 2000 to September 2001, he was President and Chief Operating Officer of Netsilicon, Inc., a publicly held software development company, where he helped to stabilize the business prior to its merger with Digi International Inc. in 2001. From 1994 to 2000, Mr. Barrios served in several senior capacities for Praxair, Inc., a large supplier of industrial gasses. Earlier in his career, he held various leadership roles in strategy and operations at HBO, Inc. during his time at leading media and entertainment company Time Warner. Mr. Barrios served on the board of directors of Bowlero from December 2021 until December 2022. Mr. Barrios holds a B.A. degree and an M.B.A. from the University of Connecticut. Mr. McMahon believes that Mr. Barrios’ deep familiarity with the industry dynamics of the sports entertainment and media industries as well as the Company’s operations make him well qualified to serve on the Board.
Michelle Wilson
Michelle D. Wilson has served as Co-Founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Isos since January 2021. She has served as Co-President of Progress since August 2022. Ms. Wilson previously served as the Co-Founder, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman of Isos Acquisition Corporation from January 2021 until its merger with Bowlero in December 2021. From February 2020 to December 2020, Ms. Wilson was a private investor. Prior to her position with Isos, Ms. Wilson served as Co-President and a director at WWE from February 2018 to January 2020. She served as Chief Revenue & Marketing Officer from November 2013 to February 2018, and Chief Marketing Officer from February 2009 to February 2018. From August 2001 to February 2009, she was Chief Marketing Officer of the United States Tennis Association, where she was instrumental in making the U.S. Open the highest attended annual sporting event in the world with more than 700,000 fans in attendance every year. She was pivotal in the implementation of several innovations for the sport, including in-stadium video screens, blue courts, instant replay and the 2004 launch of the U.S. Open Series. From April 2000 to July 2001, she was Vice President of Marketing for the XFL. Earlier in her career, Ms. Wilson held positions at the National Basketball Association in its domestic and international consumer products groups as well as roles at Nabisco and Johnson & Johnson. Ms. Wilson has served on the board of directors of Bowlero since December 2021 and Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: HEAR) since May 2022. Ms. Wilson holds a B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.B.A. from the Harvard Business School. Mr. McMahon believes that Ms. Wilson’s deep familiarity with the industry dynamics of the sports entertainment and media industries as well as the Company’s operations make her well qualified to serve on the Board.
Mr. Barrios and Ms. Wilson will be entitled to the Company’s normal Board fees for non-management directors. The Company also will enter into an Indemnification Agreement with each of Mr. Barrios and Ms. Wilson in the same form that the Company has entered into with other non-management directors. Compensation arrangements between the Company and Mr. McMahon have not been finalized yet.

After the January 5th Actions, on January 6, 2023, the Company announced that Ignace Lahoud and Man Jit Singh resigned from the Board, effective January 6, 2023. Prior to their resignations, Mr. Lahoud served as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) and Mr. Singh served as the lead independent director, Chair of the Company’s Compensation & Human Capital Committee (the “Compensation & Human Capital Committee”) and a member of the Company’s Governance & Nominating Committee (the “Governance & Nominating Committee”).
On January 9, 2023, the Board elected Mr. McMahon as Executive Chairman of the Board. In addition, on January 9, 2023, Steve Koonin and Michelle McKenna were appointed by the Board to each of the Audit Committee and the Governance & Nominating Committee and Steve Pamon and Ms. McKenna were appointed by the Board to the Compensation & Human Capital Committee. Accordingly, as of January 9, 2023, each of the Audit Committee, Compensation & Human Capital Committee and Governance & Nominating Committee was composed of Messrs. Pamon and Koonin and Ms. McKenna.
On January 10, 2023, Ms. McMahon informed the Company that she has resigned from her role as Co-CEO and as a member of the Board. As a result of Ms. McMahon’s resignation, Nick Khan assumed the role of sole Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Khan also remains a member of the Board.
Following the changes to the composition to the Board described above, the Board ceased to be comprised of a majority of independent directors and the Company has elected to avail itself of the “controlled company” exemption from the listing requirement under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange that a majority of the board of directors consists of independent directors. As of January 31, 2023, the Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors, and therefore the Company ceased to rely on this exemption.
On January 31, 2023, Mr. Barrios was appointed by the Board as Chair of the Audit Committee and Ms. Wilson was appointed by the Board to each of the Compensation & Human Capital Committee and the Governance & Nominating Committee. Accordingly, as of January 31, 2023, the Audit Committee is comprised of Messrs. Barrios and Pamon and Ms. McKenna, the Compensation & Human Capital Committee is comprised of Mr. Koonin and Ms. Wilson and the Governance & Nominating Committee is comprised of Messrs. Pamon and Koonin and Ms. Wilson.
Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
Each of Messrs. McMahon and Barrios and Ms. Wilson will serve as a director of the Company until the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. As of January 31, 2023, Mr. McMahon has not been appointed to any of the Company’s standing committees of the Board. The Company has been advised that each of Mr. Barrios and Ms. Wilson has been asked to serve as a director of the Company by Mr. McMahon. There are no arrangements or understandings with any person pursuant to which either individual was elected as a director of the Company nor are there any transactions directly or indirectly involving either of Ms. Wilson or Mr. Barrios that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.
Mr. McMahon is the father of Ms. McMahon, the Chairwoman and Co-CEO of the Company until January 10, 2023; Paul Levesque, the Chief Content Officer of the Company, is Ms. McMahon’s husband. These executives received compensation in their capacities as employees and as independent contractor performers for the Company including participating in talent royalties for certain Company products bearing her or his name and/or likeness. Each has a booking contract with the Company. The compensation package of each of Ms. McMahon and Mr. Levesque is detailed in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed on April 8, 2022 and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 2, 2022.
Shane B. McMahon is the son of Mr. McMahon. In 2022, Shane McMahon was retained as an independent contractor performer by the Company and received an aggregate of approximately $828,000 in connection with such services.

The January 5th By-Laws Amendments
The January 5th By-Laws Amendments were adopted by Mr. McMahon pursuant to the January 5th Consent to ensure that WWE’s corporate governance continues to properly enable and support stockholder rights. The January 5th By-Laws Amendments provided, among others, for the following:
 
 	•	 	required the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders to be held on a date between April 20 and May 31, 2023 and the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders to be held within 13 months of the date of the 2023 annual meeting;	
 
 	•	 	changed the advance notice bylaws for stockholder proposals and stockholder director nominations for an annual meeting such that (i) the advance notice deadline is reset if the date of an annual meeting is more than 30 days earlier than the first anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting (rather than if the annual meeting is more than 15 days earlier than such anniversary) and (ii) if so reset, the notice of a stockholder will be timely if received no later than the close of business on the later of 30 days before the date of such annual meeting and the tenth business day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made (rather than the fifth business day following such date);	
 
 	•	 	changed the advance notice bylaws for stockholder director nominations for a special meeting such that notice of a stockholder will be timely if received no later than the close of business on the tenth business day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made (rather than the fifth business day following such date);	
 
 	•	 	memorialized in the bylaws the stockholders’ existing right to take action by written consent pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 228 of the DGCL and prohibited the Board from taking any action that would require any stockholder seeking to take action by written consent to comply with any procedures or other requirements except those expressly set forth in Section 228 of the DGCL or in specified provisions in the January 5th By-Laws;	
 
 	•	 	specified the manner in which the record date for stockholders seeking to take action by written consent is fixed;	
 
 	•	 	provided that special meetings of the Board be called by or at the request of the Chairman, the President or at least two directors (rather than the Chairman, the President or a majority of the Board);	
 
 	•	 	provided that each director on the Board receive notice of meetings of committees of the Board;	
 
 	•	 	changed the vote required and procedures for the Board or any committee thereof to (i) declare and pay any dividend or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any provisions of the January 5th By-Laws;	
 
 	•	 	prohibited the Board from amending, altering, repealing or re-adopting any bylaw adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders of the Company;	
 
 	•	 	required approval of the stockholders of the Company prior to the Company (i) entering into, materially modifying or taking certain other actions with respect to certain media rights contracts or transactions, (ii) issuing stock or other voting securities (subject to certain exemptions) or (iii) entering into, modifying or taking certain other actions with respect to any contract or transaction that includes a “change of control” or similar provision related to the composition of the Board; and	
 
 	•	 	designated (i) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of, among other claims, any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, and (ii) the federal courts of the United States of America, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as the sole and exclusive forum for any cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).	
The above summary of the January 5th By-Laws Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the January 5th By-Laws attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit A.
 
4

The January 16th By-Laws Amendments
After taking the January 5th Actions, Mr. McMahon subsequently informed the Company of his view that there is substantial alignment among the Board and the Company’s management concerning the decision to conduct a review of strategic alternatives amid the Company’s upcoming media rights cycle and that the Company’s corporate governance will properly enable and support stockholder rights. Therefore, effective January 16, 2023, pursuant to the January 16th Consent, Mr. McMahon repealed all of the January 5th By-Laws Amendments other than Article XI (Exclusive Forum), which designates (i) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of, among other claims, any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, and (ii) the federal courts of the United States of America, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as the sole and exclusive forum for any cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “January 16th By-Laws Amendments”) (the Company’s January 5th By-Laws, as amended and restated as a result of the January 16th Consent, are referred to as the “Amended and Restated By-Laws”).
The above summary of the January 16th By-Laws Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated By-Laws attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit B.
VOTES REQUIRED
The Board is not soliciting your consent or your proxy in connection with the Actions, and no consents or proxies are being requested from stockholders.
Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and except as otherwise required by law, holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share of Class A common stock and holders of the Company’s Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share of Class B common stock.
Section 228 of the DGCL provides that stockholders of the Company may act by written consent without a meeting unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation otherwise provides. The Certificate of Incorporation does not otherwise provide; therefore, stockholders of the Company may act by written consent without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if such stockholders hold the number of shares representing not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such actions at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
As of the close of business on each of the Record Dates, the Company had 43,347,119 shares of Class A common stock and 31,099,011 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. As of the close of business on each of the Record Dates, Mr. McMahon beneficially owned shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock, representing approximately 81.0% of the Company’s total voting power.
The Removals
Under the DGCL, the power to remove any director resides in a majority of the voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote for the election of such director. The vote required to approve the Removals was the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote as of the January 5th Record Date.
The Appointments
Under Delaware law, the power to fill director vacancies resides inherently in the stockholders. The vote required to approve the Appointments was the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote as of the January 5th Record Date.
 
5

The By-Laws Amendments
Under the DGCL and pursuant to Section 9.01(ii) of the Old By-Laws, with respect to the January 5th By-Laws, and the January 5th By-Laws, with respect to the January 16 By-Laws, the stockholders entitled to vote were empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Old By-Laws or the January 5th By-Laws, as applicable. The vote that was required to approve the By-Laws Amendments was in each case the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote as of the applicable Record Dates.
VOTES OBTAINED
Mr. McMahon approved each of the Actions by delivering written consents without a meeting and without a vote in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL. Consequently, each of the Actions was taken with the consent of 28,682,948 shares of Class B Common Stock, which was approximately 81.0% of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to consent to each of the Actions as of the applicable Record Dates and became effective on January 5, 2023 and January 16, 2023, respectively.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

ARTICLE I
STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1.01 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation for the election of Directors and for the transaction of such other business as properly may come before such meeting shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors and set forth in the notice or waiver of notice of the meeting. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Amended and Restated By-Laws, the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023 (the “2023 Annual Meeting”) shall be held on a date between April 20, 2023 and May 31, 2023 and the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024 shall be held within 13 months of the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting.
Section 1.02 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the Chairman, the President or by the Board of Directors. Such special meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such places, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be specified in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof.
Section 1.03 Notice of Meetings; Waiver. The Secretary or any Assistant Secretary shall cause written notice of the place, date and hour of each meeting of the stockholders, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called, to be given personally or by mail, not less than ten nor more than sixty days prior to the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If such notice is mailed, it shall be deemed to have been given to a stockholder when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the record of stockholders of the Corporation, or, if he or she shall have filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a written request that notices to him or her be mailed to some other address, then directed to him or her at such other address. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law.
No notice of any meeting of stockholders need be given to any stockholder who submits a signed waiver of notice, whether before or after the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in a written waiver of notice. The attendance of any stockholder at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Section 1.04 Quorum. Except as otherwise required by law or by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting.
Section 1.05 Advance Notice of Stockholder Proposals. At any annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before such meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who complies with the requirements set forth in this Section 1.05. For business to be properly brought before the annual meeting of the stockholders by a stockholder, such stockholder must be entitled under Delaware law to present such business and such stockholder must give timely notice of such stockholder’s intent to make such presentation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary of the Corporation not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days in advance of the first anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days earlier than such anniversary date, notice
 
A-1

of the stockholder to be timely must be received no later than the close of business on the later of thirty (30) days before the date of such annual meeting and the tenth (10th) business day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Each such notice shall set forth: (i) a brief description of each item of business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; (ii) the name and the address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business; (iii) a representation by the stockholder proposing such business that the stockholder will be a holder of record of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at such meeting; (iv) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by such stockholder; and (v) as to each item of business the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, any material interest of the stockholder in such business other than as a stockholder of the Corporation. In addition, the stockholder submitting such proposal shall promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation.
Only such business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before such meeting in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Section 1.05. A stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.05 in order to bring business before any annual meeting. The chairman of any annual meeting of the stockholders shall have the power and duty (x) to determine whether any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was brought in accordance with the requirements in this Section 1.05 and (y) if any proposed business was not so brought, to declare that such defective proposal shall be disregarded. For purposes of this Section 1.05 and Section 1.06, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, the Associated Press or any comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Section 1.06 Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominations. Nominations for the election of directors to be elected by the holders of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally for the election of directors (the “Common Directors”) may be made by the Board of Directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote generally for the election of directors, provided, however, that a stockholder may nominate a person for election as a Common Director at a meeting only if timely notice of such stockholder’s intent to make such nomination has been given to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary (i) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days in advance of the first anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days earlier than such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be received no later than the close of business on the later of thirty (30) days before the date of such annual meeting and the tenth (10th) business day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting at which any Common Directors are to be elected, no later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) business day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Each such notice shall set forth: (i) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the stockholder who intends to make the nomination and the name or names and address or addresses of the person or persons to be nominated; (ii) a representation that the stockholder proposing such nomination will be a holder of record of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by prosy at such meeting and nominate the person or persons specified in such notice; (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by such stockholder; (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each of his, her or its nominees and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nominations or nominations are to be made by such stockholder; (v) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such stockholder as is required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the rules under the Exchange Act; and (vi) the consent of each such nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation, if so elected. In addition, the stockholder making such nomination shall promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation.
 
A-2

A stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.06 in order to nominate any person as a Common Director.
Except as otherwise required by law, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the power and duty (i) to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Section 1.06 and (ii) if any proposed nomination was not made in compliance with this Section 1.06, to declare that such defective nomination shall be disregarded.
Section 1.07 Voting. If, pursuant to Section 5.05 of these Amended and Restated By-Laws, a record date has been fixed, every holder of record of shares of the Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Corporation (“Class A Common Stock”) at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock outstanding in his or her name on the books of the Corporation on the close of business on such record date, and every holder of record of shares of the Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Corporation (“Class B Common Stock”) on the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to ten votes for each share of Class B Common Stock outstanding in his or her name on the books of the Corporation at the close of business on such record date. If no record date has been fixed, then every holder of record of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock, and every holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to ten votes for each share of Class B Common Stock, outstanding in his or her name on the books of the Corporation at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. Except as otherwise required by law or by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the vote of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient for the transaction of any business at such meeting.
Section 1.08 Adjournment. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn any such meeting from time to time until a quorum is present. Notice of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation need not be given if the place, date and hour thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, provided, however, that, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed pursuant to Section 5.05 of these Amended and Restated By-Laws, a notice of the adjourned meeting, conforming to the requirements of Section 1.03 hereof, shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting.
Section 1.09 Proxies. Any stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or to express consent to or dissent from corporate action without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to vote at any such meeting and express such consent or dissent for him or her by proxy. A stockholder may authorize a valid proxy by executing a written instrument signed by such stockholder, or by causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature, or by transmitting or authorizing an electronic transmission to the person designated as the holder of the proxy, a proxy solicitation firm or a like authorized agent. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after the expiration of three years from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it, except in those cases where applicable law provides that a proxy shall be irrevocable. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary. Proxies by electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of a writing or transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that
 
A-3

such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.
Section 1.10 Organization; Procedure. At every meeting of stockholders the presiding officer shall be the Chairman or, in the event of his or her absence or disability, the President or a presiding officer chosen by a majority of the Board of Directors. The Secretary, or in the event of his or her absence or disability, the Assistant Secretary, if any, or if there be no Assistant Secretary, in the absence of the Secretary, an appointee of the presiding officer, shall act as secretary of the meeting. The order of business and all other matters of procedure at every meeting of stockholders may be determined by such presiding officer.
Section 1.11 Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing (or deemed to be in writing under applicable law), setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by stockholders (or deemed to be signed by stockholders under applicable law) representing not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such actions at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation as required by applicable law.

A-9

the President or a Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, representing the number of shares registered in certificate form.

Section 5.05 Record Date. In order to determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such 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; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, (i) if no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the record date shall be the first date on which a signed consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, unless the Board of Directors has previously fixed a record date for such action by written consent (which record date fixed by the Board of Directors shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and shall be no more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors), and (ii) if prior action of the Board of Directors is required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action is required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the
 
A-10

record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such action. Stockholders shall not be required to provide advance notice to the Corporation, the Board of Directors or any other person or body of an intent to take an action by written consent pursuant to Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
Section 5.06 Registered Stockholders. Prior to due surrender of a certificate for registration of transfer, the Corporation may treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to receive dividends and other distributions, to vote, to receive notice and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of the owner of the shares represented by such certificate, and the Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or legal claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person, whether or not the Corporation shall have notice of such claim or interests. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, it shall be so expressed in the entry of the transfer if, when the certificates are presented to the Corporation for transfer or uncertificated shares are requested to be transferred, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so.
Section 5.07 Transfer Agent and Registrar. The Board of Directors may appoint one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars, and may require all certificates representing shares to bear the signature of any such transfer agents or registrars.
ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.01 Nature of Indemnity. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, and may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to such an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become an employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as an employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; except that in the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (i) such indemnification shall be limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and (ii) no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such
 
A-11

person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 6.02 Successful Defense. To the extent that a director, officer or employee of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 6.01 hereof or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
Section 6.03 Determination That Indemnification Is Proper. Indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Section 6.01 hereof (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation unless a determination is made that indemnification of the director or officer is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 hereof. Indemnification of an employee or agent of the Corporation under Section 6.01 hereof (unless ordered by a court) may be made by the Corporation upon a determination that indemnification of the employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 hereof. Any such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a majority of the disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.
Section 6.04 Advance Payment of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article, the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as such may be amended from time to time, or the these Amended and Restated By- Laws. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. The Board of Directors may authorize the Corporation’s counsel to represent such director, officer, employee or agent in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the Corporation is a party to such action, suit or proceeding.
Section 6.05 Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and advancement of costs, charges and expenses to a director or officer under Section 6.04 of this Article, shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the Corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification is a prerequisite therefor, and the Corporation fails to respond within sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved such request. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnity or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within such thirty (30) day period, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be paid by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 6.04 where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01, but the burden of proving such position shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the
 
A-12

Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
Section 6.06 Survival; Preservation of Other Rights. The foregoing indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director and officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any action, suit or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a “contract right” may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such director, officer, employee or agent.
The indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which may be entitled under these Amended and Restated By-Laws or by the agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 6.07 Insurance.

Section 6.08 Severability. If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director or officer and may indemnify each employee or agent of the Corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If any provision or provisions of this Article XI shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision(s) with respect to any other person and in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article XI (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article XI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as to such person or circumstance) and the application of such provision to other persons and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1.01 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation for the election of Directors and for the transaction of such other business as properly may come before such meeting shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors and set forth in the notice or waiver of notice of the meeting.
Section 1.02 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders- may be called at any time by the Chairman, the President or by the Board of Directors. Such special meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such places, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be specified in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof.
Section 1.03 Notice of Meetings; Waiver. The Secretary or any Assistant Secretary shall cause written notice of the place, date and hour of each meeting of the stockholders, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called, to be given personally or by mail, not less than ten nor more than sixty days prior to the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If such notice is mailed, it shall be deemed to have been given to a stockholder when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the record of stockholders of the Corporation, or, if he or she shall have filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a written request that notices to him or her be mailed to some other address, then directed to him or her at such other address. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law.
No notice of any meeting of stockholders need be given to any stockholder who submits a signed waiver of notice, whether before or after the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in a written waiver of notice. The attendance of any stockholder at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Section 1.04 Quorum. Except as otherwise required by law or by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting.
Section 1.05 Advance Notice of Stockholder Proposals. At any annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before such meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who complies with the requirements set forth in this Section 1.05. For business to be properly brought before the annual meeting of the stockholders by a stockholder, such stockholder must be entitled under Delaware law to present such business and such stockholder must give timely notice of such stockholder’s intent to make such presentation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary of the Corporation not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days in advance of the first anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than fifteen (15) days earlier than such anniversary date, notice of the stockholder to be timely must be received no later than the close of business on the fifth business day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Each such notice shall set forth: (i) a brief description of each item of business desired to be brought before the meeting and the
 
B-1

reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; (ii) the name and the address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business; (iii) a representation by the stockholder proposing such business that the stockholder will be a holder of record of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at such meeting; (iv) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by such stockholder; and (v) as to each item of business the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, any material interest of the stockholder in such business other than as a stockholder of the Corporation. In addition, the stockholder submitting such proposal shall promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation.
Only such business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before such meeting in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Section 1.05. A stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.05 in order to bring business before any annual meeting. The chairman of any annual meeting of the stockholders shall have the power and duty (x) to determine whether any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was brought in accordance with the requirements in this Section 1.05 and (y) if any proposed business was not so brought, to declare that such defective proposal shall be disregarded. For purposes of this Section 1.05 and Section 1.06, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, the Associated Press or any comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Section 1.06 Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominations.

In addition, the stockholder making such nomination shall promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation.

No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after the expiration of three years from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period.

Proxies by electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of a writing or transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, and may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to such an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become an employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as an employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
 
B-10

other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; except that in the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (i) such indemnification shall be limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and (ii) no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 6.02 Successful Defense. To the extent that a director, officer or employee of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 6.01 hereof or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
Section 6.03 Determination That Indemnification Is Proper. Indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Section 6.01 hereof (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation unless a determination is made that indemnification of the director or officer is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 hereof. Indemnification of an employee or agent of the Corporation under Section 6.01 hereof (unless ordered by a court) may be made by the Corporation upon a determination that indemnification of the employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 hereof. Any such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a majority of the disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.
Section 6.04 Advance Payment of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article, the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as such may be amended from time to time, or the these Amended and Restated By- Laws. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. The Board of Directors may authorize the Corporation’s counsel to represent such director, officer, employee or agent in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the Corporation is a party to such action, suit or proceeding.
Section 6.05 Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and advancement of costs, charges and expenses to a director or officer under Section 6.04 of this Article, shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the Corporation that the director
 
B-11

or officer is entitled to indemnification is a prerequisite therefor, and the Corporation fails to respond within sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved such request. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnity or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within such thirty (30) day period, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be paid by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 6.04 where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01, but the burden of proving such position shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
Section 6.06 Survival; Preservation of Other Rights. The foregoing indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director and officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any action, suit or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a “contract right” may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such director, officer, employee or agent.
The indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which may be entitled under these Amended and Restated By-Laws or by the agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 6.07 Insurance. The Corporation shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article, provided that such insurance is available on reasonable terms.
Section 6.08 Severability. If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director or officer and may indemnify each employee or agent of the Corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
