(a)No proposal for a shareholder vote (other than director nominations which are described in Section 2.15(b)) shall be submitted by a shareholder (a “Shareholder Proposal”) to the Corporation’s shareholders unless the shareholder submitting such proposal (the “Proponent”) shall have filed a written notice setting forth with particularity:
(i)the name and business address of the Proponent (including each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the Shareholder Proposal is being made) and all natural persons, corporations, partnerships, trusts or any other type of legal entity or recognized ownership vehicle (collectively, “Persons”) acting in concert with the Proponent (or such beneficial owner);
(ii)the name and address of the Proponent (including each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the Shareholder Proposal is being made) and the other Persons identified in clause (i), as they appear on the Corporation’s books (if they so appear);
(iii)the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by the Proponent (including each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the Shareholder Proposal is being made) and the other Persons identified in clause (i);
(iv)a description of the Shareholder Proposal containing all material information relating thereto, including (A) the text of the Shareholder Proposal (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such Shareholder Proposal includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment), (B) the reasons for submission of such Shareholder Proposal at the meeting and (C) any material interest in such Shareholder Proposal of each Proponent (and each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is being made) and the other Persons identified in clause (i);
(v)a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the Shareholder Proposal between or among the Proponent and each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the Shareholder Proposal is being made, any of their respective affiliates or associates, and any others acting in concert with any of the foregoing;
(vi)a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into as of the date of such written notice by, or on behalf of, the Proponent and each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the Shareholder Proposal is being made, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in underlying shares of capital stock of the Corporation, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, the Proponent or such beneficial owner, with respect to securities of the Corporation;
(vii)a representation that the Proponent is a holder of record of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and will so remain at the time of such meeting, and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business;

capital stock required to elect each nominee or (2) otherwise to solicit proxies from shareholders in support of such nomination, and (H) any other information relating to such shareholder and such beneficial owner, if any, required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the election of directors in an election contest pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. A written consent to being named in a proxy statement as a nominee, and to serve as a director if elected, signed by each nominee, shall be filed with any Nomination Notice. Without limiting the foregoing, the information required by clauses (ii)(C), (D), (E) and (F) of this Section 2.15(b) shall be updated by the Person delivering such Nomination Notice and each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the Nomination Notice is being submitted not later than ten (10) days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such information as of the record date. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility or qualification of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. If the presiding officer at any shareholders’ meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws or any nominee is otherwise not eligible or qualified to serve as a director, such officer shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
Nomination Notices and Shareholder Proposals in connection with an annual meeting shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) nor more than one-hundred twenty (120) calendar days before the first anniversary of the date of the Corporation’s notice of annual meeting sent to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting; provided that if no annual meeting was held in the previous year, or the date of the annual meeting has been established to be more than thirty (30) calendar days earlier than, or sixty (60) calendar days after, the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting, notice by a shareholder, to be timely, must be so received not later than (i) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the annual meeting or (ii) if later, the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the annual meeting.

Shareholder Proposals in connection with a special meeting called by the Proponent in accordance with Section 2.2 shall be included in the written requests delivered pursuant to Section 2.2. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual or special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period)
