5

Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (1) through this clause (7) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the Stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these By-laws on behalf of a beneficial owner; and

(E) a description of the material provisions of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between or among the Stockholder giving notice and any other Proposing Person or between or among the Stockholder giving notice or any other Proposing Person and any other person or entity (naming each such person or entity) in connection with or related to the proposed item of business or nomination.

The Corporation may require any Proposing Person and proposed nominee to furnish such other information as the Corporation may reasonably require with respect to any item of business or nomination proposed to be brought before or made at the annual meeting of Stockholders or the related solicitation, to determine the eligibility, suitability or qualifications of such proposed nominee to serve as a Director or to determine if such proposed nominee is independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, any applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board in determining the independence of the Corporation’s Directors. Such other information shall be delivered to the Corporation no later than five calendar days after the request by the Corporation for such information has been delivered to the Proposing Person.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of Section 2.07(a)(ii) to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to the Board is increased after the time period for which nominations pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i)(C) would otherwise be due under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.07 and there is no Public Announcement naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board made by the Corporation at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of Stockholders, a Stockholder’s notice required for the purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i)(C) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such Public Announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of Stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting pursuant to Section 2.04 of these By-laws.

pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, by any Stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.07(b) and who is a Stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary through the date of such special meeting.

In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of Stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more Directors to the Board, any such Stockholder may nominate such number of persons for election to such position(s) as are specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the Stockholder’s notice as required by and in compliance with Section 2.07(a)(ii) shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which Public Announcement of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting is first made by the Corporation.

Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Charter or these By-laws, the Chair shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.07 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these By-laws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded and no vote shall be taken with respect to such proposed nomination or business, in each case, notwithstanding that proxies with respect to such proposed nomination or business may have been received by the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, unless otherwise required by law, if the Stockholder (or a qualified representative of the Stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of Stockholders to present a nomination or proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.07 and Section 2.10, to be considered a qualified representative of the Stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such Stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such Stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such Stockholder to act for such Stockholder as proxy at the meeting of Stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of Stockholders.

(ii) If any information submitted pursuant to this Section 2.07 by any Stockholder proposing business for consideration or individuals to nominate for election or reelection as a Director at a meeting of Stockholders shall be inaccurate in any material respect, such information may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with these By-laws. Any such Stockholder shall notify the Corporation of any material inaccuracy or change in any such information within two business days of becoming aware of such material inaccuracy or change.

(iii) A Stockholder providing notice of any business or nomination proposed to be brought before or made at a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, postponement and rescheduling thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment, postponement or rescheduling thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned, postponed or rescheduled) in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, postponement or rescheduling thereof).

(iv) For purposes of these By-laws, “Public Announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or 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 or any document delivered to all Stockholders (including any quarterly income statement).

(vii) To be eligible to be a nominee for election as a Director pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i)(C), the proposed nominee must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under this Section 2.07) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a written questionnaire with respect to the information that is required to be provided by all existing directors of the Corporation and director candidates nominated by the Corporation, including the background and qualification of such proposed nominee (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary promptly and in any event no later than five calendar days following receipt of a written request therefor) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary promptly and in any event no later than five calendar days following receipt of a written request therefor) that such proposed nominee (A) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such proposed nominee, if elected as a Director, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such proposed nominee’s ability to comply, if elected as a Director, with such proposed nominee’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not, and will not become a party to, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, payment, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a Director that has not been disclosed to the Corporation, (C) in such proposed nominee’s individual capacity, would be in compliance, if elected as a Director, and will comply with applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, ethics and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation, and any other Corporation policies and guidelines applicable to Directors, (D) intends to serve a full term if elected as a Director, (E) is not and has not been subject to any event specified in Rule 506(d)(1) of Regulation D (or any successor rule) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K (or any successor rule) under the Exchange Act, without reference to whether the event is material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of the proposed nominee, and (F) will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the Corporation and its Stockholders that are or will be true and correct in all material respects, and that do not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(viii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these By-laws, a Stockholder shall 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 2.07 or in Section 2.10. Nothing in these By-laws shall be deemed to affect any rights of (a) Stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (b) holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect Directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Charter.

SECTION 2.08. Procedure for Election of Directors; Voting. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock to elect Directors separately, at all meetings of the Stockholders at which a quorum is present and Directors are to be elected, each Director shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to the Director nominee’s election; provided, however, if as of the tenth day preceding the date the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the Stockholders, the number of nominees standing for election at any meeting of the Stockholders exceeds the number of Directors to be elected (such an election being a “Contested Election”), the Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the

9

meeting. For purposes of this paragraph, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” the nominee (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as a vote cast either “for” or “against” a nominee). The Board shall nominate for re-election as a Director an incumbent candidate only if such candidate shall have tendered, prior to the date the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for the Stockholder meeting at which such candidate is to be re-elected as a Director, an irrevocable resignation that will be effective upon (1) failure to receive the required vote at any election which is not a Contested Election in which such candidate is nominated for re-election and (2) the Board’s subsequent acceptance of such resignation. Following certification of the vote of an election that is not a Contested Election, if an incumbent Director fails to receive the required vote for re-election, the Nominating, Environmental, Social and Governance Committee of the Board will make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board should then act on the Nominating, Environmental, Social and Governance Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and, in the case of rejection of the resignation, the rationale behind it, generally within 90 days following the date of certification of the election results. If the Board accepts a Director’s resignation pursuant to this Section 2.08, then the Directors may fill the resulting vacancy pursuant to Article VII of the Charter or the Board may decrease the size of the Board.

All matters other than the election of Directors submitted to Stockholders at any meeting shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, and where a separate vote by class or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the shares of that class or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon; provided, however, that, in each of the foregoing cases, if a different or minimum vote is required by the Charter, these By-laws, the rules or regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, or any law or regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, such different or minimum vote shall be the applicable vote on the matter.

The vote on any matter, including the election of Directors, shall be by written ballot. Each ballot shall be signed by the Stockholder voting, or by such Stockholder’s proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted.

SECTION 2.09. Inspectors of Elections; Conduct of Meetings. (a) To the extent required by applicable law, the Board by resolution shall appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may not be Directors, officers or employees of the Corporation, to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. To the extent required by applicable law, if no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act, or if all inspectors or alternates who have been appointed are unable to act, at a meeting of Stockholders, the Chair shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by the DGCL.

10

(b) The Board may designate any Director or officer of the Corporation to act as chair of any meeting of Stockholders (“Meeting Chair”). In the absence of any such designation, the chair of the Board shall serve as the Meeting Chair. The Meeting Chair shall fix and announce at the meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the Stockholders will vote at the meeting. The Meeting Chair may prescribe or the Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of Stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the Meeting Chair shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of the Meeting Chair, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the Meeting Chair, may include or address the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (iii) maintenance of order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iv) compliance with state and local laws and regulations concerning health, safety and security; (v) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to Stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the Board or the Meeting Chair shall determine; (vi) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; (vii) limitations on the time allotted to or the number of questions or comments by participants; (viii) removal of any Stockholder or any other individual who fails or refuses to comply with meeting rules, regulations or procedures; (ix) conclusion, recess or adjournment of the meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, to a later date and time and at a place (or the means of remote communication, if applicable) announced at the meeting; (x) restrictions on the use of audio and video recording devices and cell phones or other electronic devices; and (xi) procedures requiring attendees to provide advance notice of their intent to attend the meeting. The Board or the Meeting Chair shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly brought before the meeting and if the Board or the Meeting Chair should so determine, shall so declare to the meeting, and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the Meeting Chair, meetings of Stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

SECTION 2.10. Proxy Access. (a) The Corporation shall include in its proxy statement and other proxy materials for an annual meeting of Stockholders, the name, together, in the case of the proxy statement, with the required information specified below, of any person nominated for election to the Board by a Stockholder that satisfies, or by a group of no more than 20 Stockholders that satisfy, the requirements of this Section 2.10, and who expressly elects at the time of providing the notice required by this Section 2.10 to have its nominee included in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to this Section 2.10. The number of Stockholders to be counted towards the 20 Stockholder limit in the foregoing sentence shall be the aggregate number of record holders and beneficial owners whose ownership is counted for the purposes of satisfying the ownership requirements set forth in Section 2.10(e). For purposes of determining such aggregate number of Stockholders, two or more funds that are (i) under common management and investment control, (ii) under common management and funded primarily by the same employer or (iii) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, shall be treated as one Stockholder; provided, however,

11

that, within the time period specified in Section 2.10(b) for providing notice of a nomination in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10, the funds provide documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that demonstrates that such funds satisfy the requirements of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above. For purposes of this Section 2.10, the information that the Corporation will be required to include in its proxy statement is: (A) the information concerning the nominee and the Stockholder or group of Stockholders who nominated such nominee that is required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s proxy statement by the regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act; and (B) if such Stockholder or group of Stockholders so elects, a statement pursuant to paragraph (j) of this Section 2.10. To be timely, this required information must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation within the time period required for the written notice of Stockholder nominations set forth in Section 2.10(b) along with such written notice.

(b) For nominations pursuant to this Section 2.10 to be properly submitted by a Stockholder or group of Stockholders, such Stockholder or group of Stockholders must give timely written notice in writing of such nominations to the Secretary. To be considered timely, a Stockholder’s notice, together with the other information required by this Section 2.10, must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 120 calendar days nor more than 150 days prior to the first anniversary of the release date of the Corporation’s proxy statement with respect to the preceding year’s annual meeting of Stockholders.

However, if no annual meeting of Stockholders was held in the previous year, or if the date of the applicable annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days, or delayed by more than 90 days, from the anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of Stockholders, a Stockholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary not earlier than the 120th day prior to the applicable annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which Public Announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall the Public Announcement of an adjournment, postponement, rescheduling or cancellation of an annual meeting of Stockholders commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Stockholder’s notice as described in this Section 2.10.

(c) The number of Stockholder nominees nominated pursuant to this Section 2.10 and appearing in the Corporation’s proxy statement with respect to an annual meeting of Stockholders shall not exceed the greater of (i) two or (ii) 20% of the total number of Directors in office as of the last day on which notice of a nomination in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10 may be received by the Secretary pursuant to this Section 2.10, or if such amount is not a whole number, the closest whole number below 20%; provided, however, the number of nominees that may be nominated pursuant to this Section 2.10 for a particular annual meeting of Stockholders shall be reduced by (i) any nominees that were submitted by a Stockholder or group of Stockholders for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement with respect to the upcoming annual meeting of Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.10, but either are subsequently withdrawn or that the Board decides to nominate as Board nominees at the upcoming annual meeting of Stockholders and (ii) any nominees who were previously elected to the Board, after being nominated pursuant to this Section 2.10, at any of the preceding two annual meetings of Stockholders and who are re-nominated for election by the Board at the upcoming annual meeting of

12

Stockholders. In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board after the last day on which notice of a nomination in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10 may be received by the Secretary pursuant to Section 2.10, but before the date of the annual meeting of Stockholders and the Board resolves to reduce the size of the Board in connection therewith, the maximum number of Stockholder nominees nominated pursuant to this Section 2.10 included in the Corporation’s proxy statement shall be calculated based on the number of Directors in office as so reduced. Any Stockholder or group of Stockholders submitting more than one nominee for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall rank its nominees based on the order that such Stockholder or group of Stockholders desires such nominees to be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement in the event that the total number of Stockholder nominees submitted by Stockholders or groups of Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.10 exceeds the maximum number of Stockholder nominees provided for in this Section 2.10. In the event that the number of Stockholder nominees submitted by Stockholders or groups of Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.10 exceeds the maximum number of Stockholder nominees provided for in this Section 2.10, the highest ranking Stockholder nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 2.10 from each Stockholder or group of Stockholders will be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement until the maximum number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of common stock of the Corporation each Stockholder or group of Stockholders disclosed as owned in its respective notice of a nomination submitted to the Corporation in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10. If the maximum number is not reached after the highest ranking Stockholder nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 2.10 from each Stockholder or group of Stockholders has been selected, this process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the maximum number is reached. Following such determination, if any Stockholder nominee who satisfies the eligibility requirements of this Section 2.10 is thereafter (i) nominated by the Board or (ii) not included in the Corporation’s proxy materials or is not otherwise presented for a vote as a Director pursuant to this Section 2.10, as a result of (x) the Stockholder or group of Stockholders making the nomination becoming ineligible or withdrawing its nomination, (y) the Stockholder nominee becoming unwilling or unable to serve on the Board or (z) the Stockholder, group of Stockholders or the Stockholder nominee failing to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.10, no other nominee shall be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials or otherwise presented for a vote as a Director pursuant to this Section 2.10 in substitution thereof.

(d) For purposes of this Section 2.10, a Stockholder or group of Stockholders shall be deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation as to which the Stockholder or any member of a group of Stockholders possesses both (i) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (ii) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided, however, that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) shall not include any shares (A) sold by such Stockholder or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, including any short sale, (B) borrowed by such Stockholder or any of its affiliates for any purposes or purchased by such Stockholder or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell or (C) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such Stockholder or any of its affiliates, whether any such

13

instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of shares of outstanding common stock of the Corporation, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (1) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such Stockholder’s or affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (2) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such Stockholder or affiliate. A person’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which (i) the person has loaned such shares, provided that the person has the power to recall such loaned shares on five business days’ notice; or (ii) the person has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement which is revocable at any time by the person. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own,” shall have correlative meanings. Whether outstanding shares of the common stock of the Corporation are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board or any committee thereof, in each case, in its sole discretion.

(e) In order to make a nomination pursuant to this Section 2.10, a Stockholder or group of Stockholders must have owned (as defined above in Section 2.10(d)) 3% or more of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years as of both the date the written notice of the nomination is delivered to or mailed and received by the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2.10 and the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting of Stockholders, and must continue to own at least 3% of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock through the meeting date. In the case of a nomination by a group of Stockholders, any and all requirements and obligations for an individual Stockholder that are set forth in these By-laws, including the requirement to hold 3% or more of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years as of both the date the written notice of the nomination is delivered to or mailed and received by the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2.10 and the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting of Stockholders, shall apply to each member of such group; provided, however, that the requirement to hold at least 3% or more of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock shall apply to the ownership of the group in the aggregate. Within the time period specified in this Section 2.10 for providing notice of a nomination in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10, a Stockholder or group of Stockholders must provide the following information in writing to the Secretary: (i) one or more written statements from the record holder of the shares (and from each intermediary through which the shares are or have been owned during the requisite three-year holding period) verifying that, as of a date within seven calendar days prior to the date the written notice of the nomination is delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary, the Stockholder or group of Stockholders owns, and has owned continuously for the preceding three years, at least 3% of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock, and the Stockholder or group of Stockholders’ agreement to provide, within five business days after the record date for the annual meeting of Stockholders, written statements from the record holder and intermediaries verifying such Stockholder or group of Stockholders’ continuous ownership of at least 3% of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock through the record date; (ii) the written consent of each Stockholder nominee to being named in the Corporation’s proxy statement and other proxy materials as a nominee and to serve as a Director if elected; (iii) a copy of the Schedule 14N that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by Rule 14a-18 under the Exchange Act; and (iv) the information, representations and agreements with respect to such Stockholder or group of Stockholders that are the same as those that would be required to be set forth in a Stockholder’s notice of nomination pursuant

14

to Section 2.07(a)(ii)(C)(1)-(5), Section 2.07(a)(ii)(D)(1), Section 2.07(a)(ii)(D)(9) and Section 2.07(a)(ii)(E) of these By-laws, with the exception that the Stockholder or group of Stockholders need not make the representation that such Stockholder or group of Stockholders is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(ii)(C)(5).

(f) Within the time period specified in this Section 2.10 for providing notice of a nomination in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10, a Stockholder or group of Stockholders must provide a representation that such Stockholder or group of Stockholders: (i) acquired at least 3% of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock in the ordinary course of business and not with the intent to change or influence control at the Corporation, and does not presently have such intent; (ii) presently intends to maintain qualifying ownership of at least 3% of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock through the date of the annual meeting of Stockholders; (iii) has not nominated and will not nominate for election to the Board at the annual meeting of Stockholders any person other than the nominee or nominees being nominated pursuant to this Section 2.10; (iv) has not engaged and will not engage in, and has not and will not be a “participant” in another person’s, “solicitation” within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the Exchange Act, in support of the election of any individual as a Director at the annual meeting of Stockholders other than its nominee or a nominee of the Board; (v) will not distribute to any Stockholder any form of proxy for the annual meeting of Stockholders other than the form distributed by the Corporation; (vi) will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the Corporation and Stockholders of the Corporation that are or will be true and correct in all material respects and do not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (vii) agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to any solicitation in connection with the meeting or applicable to the filing and use, if any, of soliciting material; (viii) as to any two or more funds whose shares are aggregated to count as one stockholder for purpose of constituting a Stockholder or group of Stockholders eligible to provide notice of a nomination, within five business days after the date of the notice of nomination, will provide the Corporation documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that demonstrates that the funds satisfy the requirements of the second sentence of this subsection (a) of this Section 2.10, and (ix) intends to present its Stockholder nominee at the annual meeting of Stockholders (either in person or through a qualified representative).

(g) Within the time period specified in this Section 2.10 for providing notice of a nomination in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10, a Stockholder or group of Stockholders must provide an undertaking that the Stockholder or group of Stockholders agrees to: (i) assume all liability stemming from any legal or regulatory violation arising out of the Stockholder or group of Stockholders’ communications with the Stockholders of the Corporation or out of the information that the such Stockholder or group of Stockholders provided to the Corporation; (ii) comply with all other laws and regulations applicable to any solicitation in connection with the annual meeting of Stockholders; (iii) indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and each of its Directors, officers and employees individually against any liability, loss or damages in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative or investigative, against the Corporation or any of its Directors, officers

15

or employees arising out of any nomination submitted by the Stockholder or group of Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.10; (iv) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission any solicitation materials with the Corporation’s Stockholders relating to the meeting at which the Stockholder nominee will be nominated, regardless of whether any such filing is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act or whether any exemption from filing is available thereunder; and (v) in the case of a nomination by a group of Stockholders, the designation by all group members of one group member that is authorized to act on behalf of all such members with respect to the nomination and matters related thereto, including withdrawal of the nomination. The inspector of elections shall not give effect to the votes with respect to the election of Directors nominated by the Stockholder or group of Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.10 if the Chair determines that such Stockholder or group of Stockholders did not comply with the undertakings in this Section 2.10(g).

(h) Within the time period specified in this Section 2.10 for providing notice of a nomination in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10, to be eligible to be a nominee for election as a Director pursuant to this Section 2.10, a Stockholder nominee must deliver to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation the information, representations and agreements that are the same as those that would be required to be delivered or provided by a Stockholder nominee pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(vii) of these By-laws.

The Corporation may request such additional information as necessary to permit the Board to determine if each Stockholder nominee is independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, any applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board in determining and disclosing the independence of the Corporation’s Directors. If the Board determines that a Stockholder nominee is not independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, any applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board in determining and disclosing the independence of the Corporation’s Directors, the Stockholder nominee will be ineligible for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement.

The Corporation may require any nominating Stockholder or group of Stockholders or Stockholder nominee to furnish such other information as the Corporation may reasonably require with respect to any nomination proposed pursuant to this Section 2.10 or to determine the eligibility, suitability or qualifications of any Stockholder nominee to serve as a Director. Such other information shall be delivered to the Corporation no later than five business days after the request by the Corporation for such information has been delivered to the Stockholder nominee. The Corporation may require any Stockholder nominee to submit to one or more interviews with the Board or any committee thereof to determine the eligibility, suitability or qualifications of such Stockholder nominee to serve as a Director. The Stockholder nominee must make himself or herself available for any such interview within no less than ten business days after the request by the Corporation for such interview has been delivered to the Stockholder nominee.

16

(i) In the event that any information or communications provided by the Stockholder or group of Stockholders or the Stockholder nominee to the Corporation or its Stockholders ceases to be true and correct in all material respects or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, each Stockholder or group of Stockholders or Stockholder nominee, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Secretary of any defect in such previously provided information and of the information that is required to correct any such defect; provided, however, that providing any such notification shall not be deemed to cure any defect or limit the Corporation’s rights to omit a Stockholder nominee from its proxy materials as provided in this Section 2.10.

(j) The Stockholder or group of Stockholders may provide to the Secretary, at the time the information required by this Section 2.10 is provided, a written statement for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement for the annual meeting of Stockholders, not to exceed 500 words, in support of the Stockholder nominee’s candidacy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.10, the Corporation may omit from its proxy statement any information or statement (or portion thereof) that it, in good faith, believes is untrue in any material respect (or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading) or would violate any applicable law or regulation, and the Corporation may solicit against, and include in the proxy statement its own statement relating to, any Stockholder nominee.

(k) The Corporation shall not be required to include, pursuant to this Section 2.10, any Stockholder nominee in its proxy statement for any meeting of Stockholders, and such nomination shall be disregarded and no vote on such Stockholder nominee will occur, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation: (i) for which the Secretary receives a notice that a Stockholder or group of Stockholders has nominated a person for election to the Board pursuant to the advance notice requirements for Stockholder nominees for Director; (ii) if the Stockholder nominee is, or has been within the three years preceding the date the Corporation first mails to the Stockholders its notice of meeting that includes the name of the Stockholder nominee, an officer or director of a company that is a competitor (as defined for purposes of Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914); (iii) who is not independent under any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board in determining and disclosing the independence of the Corporation’s Directors, as determined by the Board; (iv) if the Stockholder nominee or the Stockholder or group of Stockholders who has nominated such Stockholder nominee has engaged in or is currently engaged in, or has been or is a “participant” in another person’s, “solicitation” within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the Exchange Act, in support of the election of any individual as a Director at the meeting other than such Stockholder nominee or a nominee of the Board; (v) who is or becomes a party to any compensatory, payment or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person other than the Corporation that has not been disclosed to the Corporation; (vi) who is named subject of a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) pending as of the date the Corporation first mails to the Stockholders its notice of meeting that includes the name of the Stockholder nominee and, within the ten years preceding such date, must not have been convicted in such a criminal proceeding; (vii) who upon becoming a member of the Board, would cause the Corporation to be in violation of these By-laws, the Charter, the rules and listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, or any applicable state or federal law, rule or regulation; (viii) if such Stockholder nominee or the applicable Stockholder or group of Stockholders shall have provided information to the Corporation in respect to such nomination that was untrue in any material respect or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statement made, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading, as determined by the Board; or (ix) if the Stockholder or group of Stockholders or applicable Stockholder nominee otherwise contravenes any of the agreements, representations or undertakings made by such Stockholder or group of Stockholders or Stockholder nominee or fails to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Section 2.10.

17

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.10, the Board or the Chair of the annual meeting of Stockholders shall declare a nomination by a Stockholder or group of Stockholders to be invalid, and such nomination shall be disregarded notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation, if: (i) the Stockholder nominee(s) or the applicable Stockholder (or any member of any group of Stockholders) shall have breached its or their obligations under this Section 2.10, including a breach of any representations, agreements or undertakings required under this Section 2.10, as determined by the Board or the Chair or (ii) the Stockholder or group of Stockholders (or a qualified representative thereof) does not appear at the annual meeting of Stockholders to present any nomination pursuant to this Section 2.10.

(m) Any Stockholder nominee who is included in the Corporation’s proxy statement for a particular annual meeting of Stockholders but either: (i) withdraws from or becomes ineligible or unavailable for election at the annual meeting of Stockholders; or (ii) does not receive at least 25% of the votes cast in favor of the Stockholder nominee’s election, will be ineligible to be a Stockholder nominee pursuant to this Section 2.10 for the next two annual meetings of Stockholders.

(n) The Board (or any other person or body authorized by the Board) shall have the exclusive power and authority to interpret the provisions of this Section 2.10 of the By-laws and make, in good faith, all determinations deemed necessary or advisable in connection with this Section 2.10 to any person, facts or circumstances.

(o) No Stockholder shall be permitted to join more than one group of Stockholders to become eligible for purposes of nominations pursuant to this Section 2.10 per each annual meeting of Stockholders.

(p) This Section 2.10 shall be the exclusive method for Stockholders to include nominees for Director in the Corporation’s proxy materials.

(q) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.10 shall not apply to special meetings of Stockholders.

SECTION 2.11. Delivery to the Corporation. Whenever Sections 2.07 or Section 2.10 of this Article II requires one or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock of the Corporation) to deliver a document or provide information to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), such document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery of any document or furnishing of any information not in such written form or so delivered or provided. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any notice from any stockholder of record or beneficial owner of the Corporation’s stock pursuant to Section 2.07 or Section 2.10 of this Article II, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation expressly opts out of Section 116 of the DGCL.

ARTICLE V

Stock Certificates and Transfers

SECTION 5.01. Stock Certificates and Transfers. (a) The shares of the Corporation shall be evidenced by certificates in such form as the appropriate officers of the Corporation may from time to time prescribe; provided, however, that the Board may provide by resolution or resolutions that all or some of any or all classes or series of the stock of the Corporation shall be uncertificated shares. Every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of, the Corporation by two authorized officers of the Corporation (it being understood that each of the Chair, the President, any Vice President, the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary shall be an authorized officer for such purpose), representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Except as otherwise expressly provided by applicable law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated stock, if any, and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing stock of the same class and series shall be identical.

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

23

(c) Subject to applicable law, the shares of the stock of the Corporation represented by certificates shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation, upon due surrender for cancelation of certificates representing the same number of shares, with an assignment and power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably require. Upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of uncertificated shares, such uncertificated shares shall be transferred to the person entitled thereto upon the recordation of the transaction upon the books of the Corporation. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to the DGCL or, unless otherwise provided by the DGCL, a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each Stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences or rights.

SECTION 5.02. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. No certificate for shares or uncertificated shares of stock in the Corporation shall be issued in place of any certificate alleged to have been lost, destroyed or stolen, except on production of such evidence of such loss, destruction or theft and on delivery to the Corporation of a bond of indemnity in such amount, upon such terms and secured by such surety, as the Board or its designee may in its or his or her discretion require.

ARTICLE VI

Miscellaneous Provisions

SECTION 6.01. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be as specified by the Board.

SECTION 6.02. Dividends. The Board may from time to time declare, and the Corporation may pay, dividends on its outstanding shares in the manner and upon the terms and conditions provided by applicable law and the Charter.

SECTION 6.03. Seal. The corporate seal shall have thereon the name of the Corporation and shall be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Board.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Notice.

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

24

SECTION 6.05. Audits. The accounts, books and records of the Corporation shall be audited upon the conclusion of each fiscal year by an independent certified public accountant selected by the Audit Committee, and it shall be the duty of the Audit Committee to cause such audit to be made annually.

SECTION 6.06. Resignations. Any Director or any officer, whether elected or appointed, may resign at any time by giving notice of such resignation to the Corporation. Any resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of such notice or at any later time if so specified in the notice. Unless otherwise specified in the notice of resignation, the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any resignation is without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Corporation under any agreement or other binding obligations to which the Director or officer is a party.

SECTION 6.07. Indemnification and Insurance. (a) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any manner in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation or, while a Director or officer of the Corporation, a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, or any other applicable laws as presently or hereafter in effect, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board or is a Proceeding to enforce such person’s claim to indemnification pursuant to the rights granted by this Section 6.07. The Corporation shall pay, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, the expenses incurred by any person described in the first sentence of this Section 6.07(a) in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon, to the extent such an undertaking is required by applicable law, receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section 6.07 or otherwise.

(b) The indemnification and the advancement of expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding prior to its final disposition provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 6.07 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Charter, other provision of these By-laws, vote of Stockholders or Disinterested Directors (as defined in Section 6.07(f)(1)) or otherwise. No repeal, modification or amendment of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, this Section 6.07, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any modification of law, shall adversely affect any right or protection of any person granted pursuant hereto existing at, or with respect to any events that occurred prior to, the time of such repeal, amendment, adoption or modification.

25

(c) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was a Director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent of the Corporation or a Subsidiary (as defined in Section 6.07(f)(2)) or of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

(d) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and rights to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any person who is or was an employee or agent (other than a Director or officer) of the Corporation or a Subsidiary and to any person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or a Subsidiary as a Director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation or a Subsidiary, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 6.07 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Directors and officers of the Corporation.

(e) If any provision or provisions of this Section 6.07 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (1) the validity, the legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Section 6.07 (including each portion of any paragraph or clause of this Section 6.07 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (2) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Section 6.07 (including each such portion of any paragraph of this Section 6.07 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

(f) For purposes of these By-laws (including this Section 6.07):

(i) “Disinterested Director” means a Director who is not and was not a party to the proceeding or matter in respect of which indemnification is sought by the claimant; and

(ii) “Subsidiary” means a corporation, a limited liability company or any other enterprise, a majority of the capital stock, interests or other equity of which, as the case may be, is owned directly or indirectly by the Corporation, other than Directors’ qualifying shares, if any.

(g) Any notice, request, or other communication required or permitted to be given to the Corporation under this Section 6.07 shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by electronic transmission, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Secretary and shall be effective only upon receipt by the Secretary.

26

SECTION 6.08. Interpretation. The defined terms contained in these By-laws are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. As used herein, the term “including” and any variation thereof, means “including without limitation.” When used in these By-laws, the words “Article” and “Section” refer to Articles and Sections of these By-laws unless otherwise specified. A reference to one gender herein includes each other gender and the neuter where appropriate. The headings to Articles and Sections of these By-laws are included for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision herein.

ARTICLE VII

Contracts and Proxies

SECTION 7.01. Contracts. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Charter or these By-laws, any contracts or other instruments may be executed and delivered in the name and on the behalf of the Corporation by such officer or officers of the Corporation as the Board may from time to time direct. Such authority may be general or confined to specific instances as the Board may determine. Subject to the control and direction of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, any Vice President and any Assistant Treasurer or Assistant Secretary may enter into, execute, deliver and amend bonds, promissory notes, contracts, agreements, deeds, leases, guarantees, loans, commitments, obligations, liabilities and other instruments to be made or executed for or on behalf of the Corporation. Subject to any restrictions imposed by the Board, such officers of the Corporation may delegate such powers to others under his or her jurisdiction, it being understood, however, that any such delegation of power shall not relieve such officer of responsibility with respect to the exercise of such delegated power.

SECTION 7.02. Proxies. Unless otherwise provided by resolution adopted by the Board, the Chair, the Chief Executive Officer or the President may from time to time appoint an attorney or attorneys or agent or agents of the Corporation, in the name and behalf of the Corporation, to cast the votes which the Corporation may be entitled to cast as the holder of stock or other securities in any other corporation or entity, any of whose stock or other securities may be held by the Corporation, at meetings of the holders of the stock or other securities of such other corporation or entity, or to consent in writing, in the name of the Corporation as such holder, to any action by such other corporation or entity, and may instruct the person or persons so appointed as to the manner of casting such vote or giving such consent, and may execute or cause to be executed in the name and on behalf of the Corporation and under its corporate seal or otherwise, all such written proxies or other instruments as he or she may deem necessary or proper in the premises. Any of the rights set forth in this Section 7.02 which may be delegated to an attorney or agent may also be exercised directly by the Chair, Chief Executive Officer or the President.

27

ARTICLE VIII

Amendments

SECTION 8.01. Amendments. These By-laws may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new Amended and Restated By-laws may be adopted by the Stockholders or by the Board; provided, however, that notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new Amended and Restated By-laws is contained in the notice of such meeting of Stockholders or in the notice of a meeting of the Board (if notice is required to be delivered to the Board pursuant to these By-laws) and, in the latter case, such notice (if required) is given not less than 12 hours prior to the meeting. Unless a higher percentage is required by the Charter as to any matter which is the subject of these By-laws, all such amendments must be approved by either the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting as a single class, or by the Board; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may alter, amend or repeal, or adopt new By-laws in conflict with, (i) any provision of these By-laws which requires a two-thirds vote of the Entire Board for action to be taken thereunder and (ii) this proviso to this Section 8.01 of these By-laws only by a resolution adopted by a two-thirds vote of the Entire Board.

ARTICLE IX

Forum for Adjudication of Disputes

SECTION 9.01. Exclusive Forum for Certain Disputes. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or past Director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or any of the Stockholders (including any beneficial owner of stock of the Corporation), (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Charter or these By-laws (in each case, as may be amended from time to time) or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, any state or federal court in the state of Delaware that has jurisdiction. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal courts of the United States of America, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any action asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Failure to comply with the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce the foregoing provisions. Any person (including any entity) purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 9.01.

28

ARTICLE X

Emergency By-laws

SECTION 10.01. Emergency By-laws. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Charter or these By-laws, in the event there is any emergency, disaster or catastrophe, as referred to in Section 110 of the DGCL (or any successor section), or other similar emergency condition (each, an “emergency”) and irrespective of whether a quorum of the Board or a standing committee thereof can readily be convened for action, this Article X shall apply.

(b) Any Director or executive officer of the Corporation may call a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof by any feasible means and with such advance notice as circumstances permit in the judgment of the person calling the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted nor the purpose of any such meeting need be specified in the notice thereof.

(c) At any meeting called in accordance with Section 10.01(b), the Director or Directors in attendance shall constitute a quorum. In the event that no Directors are able to attend the meeting, the Designated Officers in attendance shall be deemed Directors for such meeting. For purposes of this Section 10.01(c), a “Designated Officer” means an officer who is included on a list of officers of the Corporation who shall be deemed to be Directors of the Corporation for purposes of obtaining a quorum during an emergency if a quorum of Directors cannot otherwise be obtained, which officers have been designated by the Board prior to such time as an emergency may have occurred.

(d) Directors may take action to appoint one or more of the Directors to membership on any standing or temporary Committees of the Board as they deem appropriate or advisable. Directors may also take action to designate one or more of the officers of the Corporation to serve as Directors of the Corporation while this Section 10.01 applies.

(e) To the extent that it considers it practical to do so, the Board shall manage the business of the Corporation during an emergency in a manner that is consistent with the Charter and these By-laws. It is recognized, however, that in an emergency, it may not always be practical to act in this manner and this Section 10.01 is intended to, and does hereby, empower the Board with the maximum authority possible under the DGCL and all other applicable law to conduct the interim management of the affairs of the Corporation during an emergency in what it considers to be in the best interests of the Corporation, including taking any action that it determines to be practical and necessary to address the circumstances of the emergency (including with respect to dividends or any meeting of Stockholders, in each case as provided in Section 110(i) of the DGCL).

(f) The Board, either before or during any emergency, may, effective during the emergency, change the principal executive office or designate several alternative principal executive offices or regional offices, or authorize the officers to do so.

(g) No Director, officer or employee acting in accordance with this Section 10.01 or otherwise pursuant to Section 110 of the DGCL (or any successor section) shall be liable except for willful misconduct.

29

(h) This Section 10.01 shall continue to apply until the termination of the emergency.

(i) At any meeting called in accordance with Section 10.01(b), the Board may modify, amend or add to the provisions of this Section 10.01 in order to make any provision that may be practical or necessary given the circumstances of the emergency.

(j) The provisions of this Section 10.01 shall be subject to repeal or change in accordance with Section 8.01 by further action of the Board or by action of the Stockholders, but no such repeal or change shall modify the provisions of Section 10.01(f) of these By-laws with regard to action taken prior to the time of such repeal or change.

(k) Nothing contained in this Section 10.01 shall be deemed exclusive of any other provisions for emergency powers consistent with other sections of the DGCL that have been or may be adopted by corporations created under the DGCL.

Exhibit A

Form of Fiber Review Committee Charter

FIBER REVIEW COMMITTEE CHARTER

The Fiber Review Committee

The By-laws of Crown Castle Inc. (the “Company”) provide that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) may, by resolution adopted by two-thirds vote of the Board, establish Board committees to whom certain duties may be designated by the Board. The Board has established the Fiber Review Committee (the “Committee”) as an ad hoc committee of the Board, and has approved this charter, which sets out the objectives, functions, and responsibilities of the Committee.

Objectives

The Committee shall assist the Board by overseeing and directing the Board and management’s review of the strategic and operational alternatives that may be available to the Company with respect to the Company’s fiber and small cell business, including but not limited to potential sale, merger, spin-off, joint-venture and financing transactions as well as a range of operational opportunities for improved value-creation (the “Alternatives”).

The Committee does not have decision-making authority except where, and only to the extent that, such authority is expressly delegated by the Board, including as described in this charter. The Committee shall convey its findings and recommendations with respect to any Alternatives to the Board for consideration and, where required, decision by the Board.

This charter and the Committee shall be maintained and act, consistent with the terms of that certain Cooperation Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2023 (the “Cooperation Agreement”), by and among Elliott Investment Management L.P., Elliott Associates, L.P., and Elliott International, L.P., (collectively, “Elliott”) and the Company.

Constitution

Prior to the appointment of the Company’s next chief executive officer and president (the “New CEO”), the Committee shall consist of five (5) directors, who shall be P. Robert Bartolo, Anthony J. Melone and Kevin A.

Crown Castle Announces Comprehensive Fiber Review and Additions to the Board

Forms New Committees to Lead Review of the Fiber Business, Search for New CEO

Appoints Jason Genrich and Sunit Patel to the Board

Enters into Cooperation Agreement with Elliott Investment Management

HOUSTON, December 20, 2023 – Crown Castle Inc. (NYSE: CCI) (“Crown Castle” or the “Company”) today announced a comprehensive review of the Company’s fiber business and the addition of two new independent directors to the Company’s Board. The initiatives were announced in connection with a cooperation agreement with Elliott Investment Management L.P. (together with its affiliates, “Elliott”), pursuant to which Crown Castle will appoint Jason Genrich, Senior Portfolio Manager at Elliott, and Sunit Patel, former Chief Financial Officer of Level-3 Communications and Executive Vice President of T-Mobile, to the Company’s Board of Directors.

As part of this agreement, Crown Castle has formed the following special committees of the Board:

“Today’s announcements reinforce our commitment to taking actions that best position the Company for long term success, including our Board’s regular evaluation of all paths to enhance shareholder value,” said Chair Bartolo. “Jason and Sunit bring valuable financial, operational and fiber expertise to our Board. We look forward to benefitting from their experience and insights. As we look ahead, I am confident that Crown Castle, as owners of the some of the best located tower and fiber assets in the U.S., will identify the best path forward to capitalize on significant opportunities for growth in our industry.”

“Today’s announcements mark a significant step forward toward a stronger and more valuable Crown Castle,” said Elliott Senior Portfolio Manager Jason Genrich. “We appreciate the constructive dialogue we have had with Crown Castle’s Board to date, and I look forward to working with my fellow directors to evaluate the Company’s strategic direction from here, including by conducting a comprehensive review of the fiber business and running a robust process to identify the Company’s next CEO. Crown Castle has the preeminent portfolio of strategic tower and fiber assets in the United States, and I am confident that this agreement will pave the way for a new chapter of value creation for its shareholders.”

In connection with today’s appointments, W. Benjamin Moreland and Maria M. Pope will be stepping down from the Board. As a result, the Board will be comprised of 12 directors, 11 of whom are independent. As previously announced, Jay Brown will step down as a Director of the Company, effective January 16, 2024.

Mr. Bartolo continued, “On behalf of the Crown Castle team, I want to thank Ben and Maria for their dedicated service to the Company. During Ben’s two decade-plus tenure in a variety of leadership roles, he played a pivotal role in positioning the business for the tremendous opportunities that lie ahead. Similarly, we appreciate Maria’s contributions and her expertise in helping to navigate a volatile environment over the last year. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.”

The agreement with Elliott also contains customary standstill, voting and other provisions. The full agreement between Crown Castle and Elliott will be filed on a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the charter for the new Fiber Review Committee will be available on Crown Castle’s website.
