Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
|
As described below under Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the
“Annual Meeting”) of Freshpet, Inc. (the “Company”) held on October 3, 2022, the Company’s stockholders, upon the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), approved the adoption of the Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), which amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Prior Certificate of Incorporation”). The Certificate of
Incorporation amends the Prior Certificate of Incorporation by adding a provision that permits stockholders the right to request that the Company call a special meeting of stockholders under certain circumstances (the “Special Meeting Proposal”),
as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 22, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”). The Board previously approved the Certificate of Incorporation. On
October 3, 2022, the Company filed the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Certificate of Incorporation became effective on that date.
A more complete description of the Certificate of Incorporation is set forth in “Proposal No. 4 – Approval of the Special Meeting Proposal” in the Proxy
Statement. Each of that description and the foregoing summary of the Certificate of Incorporation set forth under this Item 5.03 does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Certificate
of Incorporation attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Board also approved the adoption of Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, dated as of October 4, 2022 (the “New Bylaws”), which amend and
restate the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company dated as of June 27, 2022 (the “Existing Bylaws”) in their entirety. The New Bylaws amend the Existing Bylaws by adding conforming changes to reflect the stockholder special meeting provisions
included in the newly adopted Certificate of Incorporation and to make certain additional non-substantive changes to correct typographical errors in subsection references. The New Bylaws are effective as of October 4, 2022.
The foregoing description of the New Bylaws set forth under this Item 5.03 does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its
entirety by, the full text of the New Bylaws attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2, which is incorporated herein by reference.

SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF

ARTICLE ONE
The name of this corporation is Freshpet, Inc. (the “Corporation”).
ARTICLE TWO
The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, County of New
Castle, Delaware 19808. The name of its registered agent at such address is Corporation Service Company.
ARTICLE THREE
The purpose of this Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware General Corporation Law”).
ARTICLE FOUR
Section 1. Authorized Shares. The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that the Corporation has authority to issue is 300,000,000 shares, consisting of:
(a) 100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”); and
(b) 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
The Preferred Stock and the Common Stock shall have the rights, preferences and limitations set forth below.
Section 2. Preferred Stock. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized, to provide by resolution or resolutions from time to time for
the issuance, out of the authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, of all or any of the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to establish the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the voting powers
(full, limited or no voting powers), designations, powers, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of such series, including, without limitation, that
any such series may be (i) subject to redemption at such time or times and at such price or prices, (ii) entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative) at such rates, on such conditions, and at such times, and payable
in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes or series of capital stock, (iii) entitled to such rights
upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation or (iv) convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation at such
price or prices or at such rates and with such adjustments; all as may be stated in such resolution or resolutions, which resolution or resolutions shall be set forth on a certificate of designations filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. Except as otherwise provided in this Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of
Incorporation”), no vote of the holders of Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the designation of any series of Preferred Stock or the issuance of any shares thereof authorized by and complying with the
conditions of this Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not
below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, without the separate vote of the holders of the
Common Stock or Preferred Stock as a class. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of designations in respect of any series of Preferred Stock, and subject to Section 1 of this ARTICLE FOUR, the Board of Directors is authorized to increase or
decrease the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the certificate of
designations in respect of any series of Preferred Stock, in case the number of shares of such series shall be decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to
the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.
Section 3. Common Stock.
(a) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law or this
Certificate of Incorporation and subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, all of the voting power of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be vested in the holders of the Common Stock, and each holder of Common Stock shall have one
vote for each share held of record by such holder on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation generally. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the holders of Common
Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation in respect of any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of
Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either as a separate series or together as a class with the holders of one or more such other series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation.
(b) Dividends. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, and to the other
provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive equally, on a per share basis, such dividends and other distributions in cash, securities or other property of the Corporation as may be declared
thereon
by the Board of Directors from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor.
(c) Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of the Corporation’s debts and subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up,
the remaining net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed among holders of shares of Common Stock equally on a per share basis. A merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or entity, or a sale, lease,
exchange, conveyance, license, encumbrance or other disposition of all or any part of the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning
of this Section 3(c).
ARTICLE FIVE
The Corporation shall have perpetual existence.
ARTICLE SIX
Section 1. Board of Directors, Number. Unless otherwise provided by this Certificate of Incorporation or the Delaware General Corporation Law, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or
under the direction of the Board of Directors. Subject to any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors which shall constitute the Board of Directors shall be fixed
from time to time exclusively by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The number of directors of the Board of Directors shall initially be established at 10 directors.
Section 2. Classification of Directors.
(a) Subject to any rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, until the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders in
2025, the directors of the Corporation shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in size as is practicable, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The term of office of the initial Class I directors shall expire at the first annual
meeting of stockholders occurring after this Certificate of Incorporation originally became effective in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Effective Time”);
the term of office of the initial Class II directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders occurring after the Effective Time; and the term of office of the initial Class III directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of
the stockholders occurring after the Effective Time. The initial Class I directors shall be Christopher B. Harned, Daryl G. Brewster and Robert King, the initial Class II directors shall be J. David Basto, Walter N. George, Craig Steeneck and
Lawrence S. Coben and the initial Class III directors shall be Charles A. Norris, Jonathan S. Marlow and Richard Thompson. The address of each of the initial Class I, Class II, and Class III directors is c/o Freshpet, Inc., 400 Plaza Drive, 1st
Floor, Secaucus, New Jersey 07094, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Commencing with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Effective Time and ending with (and including) the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2022,
each director elected to the class of directors whose term expires at such annual meeting shall be elected to hold office until the third succeeding
annual meeting and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, removal, disqualification or retirement. Directors elected to the respective classes of directors whose terms
expire at the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders in each of 2023 and 2024 shall be elected to hold office until the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2025 and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and
qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, removal, disqualification or retirement. If the number of directors divided into classes as set forth herein is hereafter changed, any newly created directorship(s), or any decrease in the
number of directors shall be so apportioned among the classes as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as practicable. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to their respective
classes at the Effective Time.
(b) Commencing with the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2025, subject to any rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified
circumstances, all of the directors of the Corporation shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders, with each director so elected to hold office until the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders in the following year and until his
or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, removal, disqualification or retirement.
(c) Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the Corporation (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”) shall so provide.
Section 3. Newly-Created Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors
or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or any other cause shall be filled exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even
if less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director, and shall not be filled by stockholders. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office, and a director chosen to fill a
position resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or his or her earlier
death, resignation, removal, disqualification or retirement.
Section 4. Removal of Directors.
(a) Prior to the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2025, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any director may be removed from office at any time
but only with cause, at a meeting called for that purpose, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting
together as a single class.
(b) From and after the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2025, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any director may be removed from office at any
time, with or without cause, at a meeting called for that purpose, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors,
voting together as a single class.
Section 5. Rights of Holders of Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of this ARTICLE SIX, whenever the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right,
voting separately or together by series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorship shall be governed by the rights of such series of
Preferred Stock as set forth in the certificate of designations or certificates of designations governing such series.
ARTICLE SEVEN
To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, no director of
the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any repeal or modification of this ARTICLE SEVEN shall not adversely affect any right or protection of
a director of the Corporation existing hereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring at or prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
ARTICLE EIGHT
Section 1. No Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation may be effected only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
Section 2. Annual Meetings of Stockholders. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may
properly come before the meeting shall be held at such date, time and place, if any, as shall be determined exclusively by resolution of the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for
election of directors and other business to be brought by stockholders at any meeting of stockholders shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws.
Section 3. Special Meetings of Stockholders.
(a) Subject to any special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation shall be called
exclusively (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors pursuant to a written resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies or (ii), subject to clause (b) of
this Section 3, by the Secretary upon the written request of one more or stockholders of record (the “Special Meeting Request”) with, as of the date of the request, at least twenty-five percent (25%), in the
aggregate, of the voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote at such meeting (the “Requisite Percentage”). The Special Meeting Request
shall designate a date for such special meeting not more than 90 days after the date that the Secretary received the Special Meeting Request (the “Request Delivery Date”). In fixing a date and time for any special meeting requested by stockholders,
the Board of Directors may consider such factors as it deems relevant, including without limitation, the nature of the matters to be considered, the facts and circumstances related to any request for a meeting, and any plan of the Board of Directors
to call an annual meeting or special meeting.
(b) Stockholder Request for Special Meeting.
1. Any Special Meeting Request shall be signed by one or more stockholders, or their duly authorized agent, that request the special meeting and shall set
forth: (A) a statement of the specific purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; (B) the name and address of each signing stockholder and date of
signature; (C) the number of shares of each class of voting shares owned of record and beneficially by each such stockholder; (D) a description of all arrangements or understandings between any signing stockholder and any other person regarding the
meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at the meeting; (E) all information relating to each signing stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest (even if
an election contest is not the subject of the Special Meeting Request) or would otherwise be required, in each case pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (or any successor provision of the Exchange Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder), whether or not Section 14 of the Exchange Act is then applicable to the Corporation; and (F) all of the information
regarding the stockholders making the Special Meeting Request that would be required by Article II, Section 11 of the Bylaws if the stockholder were intending to make a nomination or to bring any other matter before a stockholder meeting. A
stockholder may revoke its request for a special meeting at any time by written revocation delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation.
2. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to determine not to call a special meeting requested by stockholders if (A) the Board of Directors has called
or calls an annual or special meeting of stockholders to be held not more than 90 days after the Request Delivery Date and the purpose of such stockholder meeting includes (among any other matters properly brought before the meeting) the purpose
specified in the Special Meeting Request; (B) within 12 months prior to the Request Delivery Date, an annual or special meeting was held that considered the purpose specified in the Special Meeting Request, except for the election of one or more
directors; (C) the Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law; or (D) such request was made in violation of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, to the extent
applicable, or other applicable law. The
Board of Directors is authorized to determine in good faith the purpose of a stockholder meeting.
(c) Conduct of Special Meeting. Business transacted at a special meeting requested by stockholders shall be limited to
the purpose stated in the Special Meeting Request; provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall be able to submit additional matters to stockholders at any such special meeting.

their respective successors and Affiliates (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries) and all of their respective partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers and employees, including any of the foregoing who serve as officers
or directors of the Corporation. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such
Person; the term “control,” as used in this definition, means the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, directly or

Section 2. Competition and Allocation of Corporate Opportunities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Exempted Persons shall not have any fiduciary duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in
the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces any interest or
expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented to the Exempted Persons, even if the opportunity is one that the Corporation or
its subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and each such Exempted Person shall have no duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to the
Corporation and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such
Exempted Person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Corporation or its
subsidiaries.
Section 3. Certain Matters Deemed Not Corporate Opportunities. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE ELEVEN, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to belong to the
Corporation if it is a business opportunity that the Corporation is not financially or legally able or contractually permitted to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to
the Corporation or that is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.
Section 4. Amendment of this Article. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no amendment or repeal of this ARTICLE ELEVEN shall apply to or have any effect on the duties or on the liability or alleged liability
of any Exempted Person for or with respect to any activities or opportunities of which such Exempted Person shall have become aware prior to such amendment or repeal. This ARTICLE ELEVEN shall not limit or eliminate any protections or defenses
otherwise available to, or any rights to exculpation from liability, indemnification or advancement of expenses of, any director or officer of the Corporation under this Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement between the Corporation
and such officer or director, or any applicable law.
Section 5. Deemed Notice. Any person or entity purchasing, holding or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of
this ARTICLE ELEVEN.
ARTICLE TWELVE
Section 1. Forum. Unless this Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery
of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be 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 director, officer or employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation

time determine or the business of the Corporation may from time to time require.
ARTICLE II
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Section 2.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may
designate such place of meeting, either within or outside the State of Delaware, or the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held
in
whole or in part by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).
Section 2.2 Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held on such date and at such time as is specified by the Board of Directors. At the annual meeting, stockholders shall elect directors and transact such
other business as may be properly brought before the annual meeting pursuant to Section 2.11 or Section 2.15 hereof. The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled annual meeting of the stockholders.
Section 2.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may only be called in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. Business transacted at any special
meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the Corporation’s notice of the meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or by the Secretary (solely to the extent and in the manner provided by the Certificate of Incorporation). The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.4 Notice.
(a) Timing; Contents. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take action at a meeting, written notice of
each annual and special meeting of stockholders stating the date, time and place, if any, of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such
meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different than the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting) and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or
purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by the Secretary (solely to the extent and in the manner provided by the Certificate of Incorporation), to each stockholder of record
entitled to vote thereat not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting except as otherwise required by law.
(b) Form of Notice. All such notices shall be delivered in writing or by a form of electronic transmission if receipt
thereof has been consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at such person’s address as
the same appears on the records of the Corporation. Subject to the limitations of Section 2.4(d), if given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed given (i) by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the
stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice by
United States mail; and (iii) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, the transfer agent of the Corporation or any other agent of
the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
(c) Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the stockholder entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person or entity entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed
equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation need be specified in any waiver of notice of such meeting. Attendance of a stockholder of the Corporation at a meeting
of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of the meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of the meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.
(d) Notice by Electronic Delivery. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to
stockholders of the Corporation pursuant to the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any notice to stockholders of the Corporation given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these
Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder of the Corporation to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any
such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices of meetings or of other business given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) such inability
becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not
invalidate any meeting or other action. For purposes of these Bylaws, except as otherwise limited by applicable law, the term “electronic transmission” means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper that
creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.
Section 2.5 List of Stockholders. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare, no later than the 10th day before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to
vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting
date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this section shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses
or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of 10 days ending on the day before the meeting
date: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the
Corporation. In the event the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. The stock ledger
of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this section or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding
and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. If a quorum is not present, the holders of a majority of the
shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting, may adjourn the meeting to another time and/or place. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required by law or by the Certificate of
Incorporation, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person or represented by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on the matter. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal
of enough votes to leave less than a quorum, and such withdrawal shall not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.
Section 2.7 Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time to any other time and to any other place by the chair of the meeting or by the stockholders present or
represented at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, although less than a quorum. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote
communication), notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such
adjourned meeting are (i) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, (ii) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxy holders to participate in the meeting
by means of remote communication or (iii) set forth in the notice of the meeting. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days,
a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors
shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 213(a) of the DGCL, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record
date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
Section 2.8 Vote Required.
(a) When a quorum is present at any meeting of stockholders, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of capital stock present in person or represented by
proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall decide any question brought before the meeting (other than the election of directors), unless by express provisions of an applicable law or regulation applicable to the Corporation
or its securities or of the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation or of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control
the decision of such question.
(b) The manner by which directors will be elected at an annual meeting or other meeting of stockholders will be as follows, depending on whether the election is “contested” or “uncontested” (as
such terms are defined below).
(i) Contested Election. In a contested election, (A) stockholders will be given the opportunity with regard to each
nominee for election to vote “for” the election of such nominee or to “withhold” votes with regard to such nominee, and (B) the nominees receiving a plurality of the affirmative votes cast will be elected to the positions on the Board being voted
upon.
(ii) Uncontested Election. In an uncontested election, (A) stockholders will be given the opportunity with regard to each
nominee for election to vote “for” or “against” the election of such nominee or to abstain from voting with regard to such nominee, and (B) each nominee for director will be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast for such nominee’s
election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election. For purposes of these Bylaws, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a director’s election must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that
director’s election (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as a vote cast either “for” or “against” that director’s election).
An election of directors will be “contested” if, in connection with any annual or special stockholders’ meeting (i) the Secretary shall have received
one or more notices that a stockholder has nominated or proposes to nominate a person or persons for election as a director, which notice(s) purports to be in compliance with the advance notice requirements set forth in Section 2.11 or Section 2.15,
irrespective of whether the Board of Directors at any time determines that any such notice is not in compliance with such requirements (any person so nominated or proposed to be nominated, a “Stockholder Nominee”), and (ii) as of the date that is 14
days in advance of the date that the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether thereafter amended, revised or supplemented) with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), each such notice has not been formally and irrevocably withdrawn by the applicable stockholder. Any election of directors that is not contested shall be “uncontested.”
Section 2.9 Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation in respect of any series of preferred stock), each holder of record of capital
stock shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder on the record date for voting for such meeting.
Section 2.10 Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy executed or transmitted in a manner permitted by applicable law,
but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled
with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. At each
meeting of stockholders, and before any voting commences, all proxies filed at or before the meeting shall be submitted to and examined by the Secretary or a person designated by the Secretary, and no shares may be represented or voted under a proxy
that has been found to be invalid or irregular.
Section 2.11 Notifications of Nominations and Proposed Business Brought Before a Meeting of the Stockholders. Subject in all respects to the provisions of Article Eight, Section 3 of the
Certificate of Incorporation:
(a) Notice of Business. Except as set forth in Section 2.15,
nominations for the election of directors, and the proposal of other business, to be brought before any annual or

Corporation who (A) is entitled to vote at the meeting, (B) has given timely notice in proper written form pursuant to this Section 2.11 of such stockholder’s intent to make such nomination or nominations or to make such other proposal and has

in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). To be timely, a stockholder of record delivering a notice of any nomination or other business proposed to be brought before a meeting pursuant to this
Section 2.11 (the “Noticing Stockholder”) must deliver such notice to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation within the time set forth in Section 2.11(c) with respect to an annual meeting or in Section
2.11(d)with respect to a special meeting.

the Noticing Stockholder as to the accuracy of the information set forth in the notice.
A Noticing Stockholder shall further update and supplement its notice of any nomination or other business proposed to be brought before a meeting, if
necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be true and correct (a) as of the record date for the meeting and (b) as of the date that is 10 Business Days prior to the
meeting or any adjournment, recess, rescheduling or postponement thereof. Such update and supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary not later than five days after the later of the record date and the date a public announcement of the record date
is first made (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date for the meeting) and not later than seven Business Days prior to the date of the meeting, if practicable (or, if not practicable, on the first practicable
date prior to the meeting), or any adjournment, recess, rescheduling or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of 10 Business Days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, recess, rescheduling or
postponement thereof). In addition, if the Noticing Stockholder has delivered to the Corporation a notice relating to the nomination of directors, the Noticing Stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation no later than seven Business Days prior to the
date of the annual meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (or, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the annual meeting has been adjourned or postponed) reasonable evidence that it has
complied with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act.
The Corporation may also, as a condition to any such nomination or business being
deemed properly brought before an annual meeting, require any Holder or any proposed nominee to deliver to the Secretary, within five Business Days of any such request,
such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Corporation, including such other information as may be reasonably required by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to determine (a) the eligibility of such proposed nominee to
serve as a director of the Corporation, (b) whether such proposed nominee qualifies as an “independent director” or “audit committee financial expert” under applicable law, securities exchange rule or regulation, or any publicly disclosed corporate
governance guideline or committee charter of the Corporation and (c) that the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such proposed
nominee.
(c) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for nominations or any other
proposal that is a proper matter for stockholder action to be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder of record, the Noticing Stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper form and in writing to the Secretary of the
Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. To be timely, the Noticing Stockholder’s notice containing the information described in Section 2.11(b) must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not later than the Close of Business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the Close of Business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (provided, however, that in the event that no annual
meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the current year’s annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting, the notice by the Noticing Stockholder to be
timely must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the Close of Business on the 120th day prior to the current year’s annual meeting and not later than the later of (i) the Close of
Business on the 90th day prior to the current year’s annual meeting and (ii) the Close of Business on the 10th day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made). In no event shall the adjournment,
recess or postponement of an annual meeting (or the public announcement of an adjournment, recess or postponement of an annual meeting) commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described
above. For the avoidance of doubt, a Noticing Stockholder shall not be entitled to make additional or substitute nominations following the expiration of the time periods set forth in these Bylaws. Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of
this Section 2.11(c) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the
nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 10 days prior to the deadline for nominations that would otherwise be applicable under this Section 2.11(c), a Noticing Stockholder’s notice required by this
Section 2.11 shall be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the 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 10th day following the day on which the public announcement of such increase in the number of directors to be elected is first made by the Corporation.
(d) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Special meetings of the
stockholders of the Corporation may be called only in the manner set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as is a proper matter
for stockholder action under Delaware law and as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of the special meeting given by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors or by the Secretary (solely to the extent and in the manner provided by the Certificate of Incorporation). The notice of such special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Nominations of
persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by the

Section 2.12 Fixing a Record Date for Stockholder Meetings. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment
thereof, 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 record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10
days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes
such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to
vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the
Close of
Business on the day next preceding the day on which notice 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. 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 determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of
such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier
date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 at the adjourned meeting.
Section 2.13 Fixing a Record Date for Other Purposes. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders
entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes 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 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the
Close of
Business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
Section 2.14 Conduct of Meetings.
(a) Generally. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by a chair designated by the Board of Directors, or in
such person’s absence, by the Chair of the Board, if any, or in the absence of the Chair of the Board, by the Chief Executive Officer, or in the absence of the Chief Executive Officer, by the Chief Financial Officer, or in the absence of all of the
foregoing, by the most senior officer of the Corporation present at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary, the chair of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the
meeting.
(b) Rules, Regulations and Procedures. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules, regulations and
procedures for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation as it shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, such guidelines and procedures as it may deem appropriate regarding the participation by means of remote
communication of stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules, regulations and procedures as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chair of any meeting of stockholders shall
have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chair, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted
by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chair of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the
meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) 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 shall be determined; (iv)

and similar devices at the meeting. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chair of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure. The
chair of the meeting shall announce at the meeting when the polls for each matter to be voted upon at the meeting will be opened and closed. After the polls close, no ballots, proxies or votes or any revocations or changes thereto may be accepted.
The chair of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another place, if any, date and time or to recess the meeting.
(c) Inspectors of Elections. The Corporation may, and to the extent required by law shall, in advance of any meeting of
stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more other persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or
alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chair of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Unless otherwise required by law, inspectors may be officers, employees or agents of the Corporation. Each
inspector, before entering upon the discharge of such inspector’s duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. The inspector shall
have the duties prescribed by law and shall take charge of the polls and, when the vote is completed, shall make a certificate of the result of the vote taken and of such other facts as may be required by law.
Section 2.15 Proxy Access.
(a) Proxy Access. Whenever the Board of Directors solicits proxies with respect to the election of directors at an
annual meeting of stockholders, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.15, the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement for such annual meeting, in addition to any persons nominated for election by the Board of Directors, including
through a committee thereof, the name, together with the Required Information (as defined below) for any Stockholder Nominee to the Board of Directors by any stockholder or group of no more than 20 stockholders (provided, that a group of 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) that satisfies the requirements of this Section 2.15 (the “Eligible Stockholder”), and who expressly elects at the time of providing a notice that names the Stockholder Nominee and
otherwise satisfies the requirements of this Section 2.15 (the “Notice of Proxy Access Nomination”) to have the Stockholder Nominee included in the Corporation’s proxy materials (including the proxy card) pursuant to this Section 2.15. For purposes
of this Section 2.15, the “Required Information” that the Corporation will include in its proxy statement is the information provided to the Secretary concerning the Stockholder Nominee and the Eligible Stockholder that is required to be disclosed in
the Corporation’s proxy statement by the Exchange Act, and, if the Eligible Stockholder so elects, a written statement, not to exceed 500 words and which may include a chart, graph or other image, in support of the candidacy of the Stockholder
Nominee(s) (the “Statement”); provided, that any words appearing in such chart, graph or other image shall be counted in calculating the 500-word limit. An Eligible Stockholder (including any group of stockholders together constituting an Eligible
Stockholder) may submit one Statement for each of its Stockholder Nominees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.15, the Corporation may (i) omit from its proxy materials any information or Statement (or portion
thereof) that it, in good faith, believes would violate any applicable law, rule or regulation, and (ii) solicit against any Stockholder Nominee or include in the Corporation’s proxy statement its own statement or other information relating to any
Eligible Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee.
(b) Timeliness of Notice. To nominate a Stockholder Nominee, the Eligible Stockholder must timely submit to the
Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination. To be timely, the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination must be delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Secretary no
earlier than the Close of Business on the 150th day and no later than the Close of Business on the 120th day before the anniversary of the date that the Corporation issued its proxy statement for the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders, or,
if the date of the annual meeting of stockholders is more than 30 days earlier or more than 60 days later than the anniversary date of the most recent annual meeting of stockholders, then not later than the Close of Business on the 10th day after
public announcement of the meeting date. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of stockholders commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Notice of Proxy Access
Nomination.
(c) Maximum Number of Stockholder Nominees.
(i) The maximum number of Stockholder Nominees nominated by all Eligible Stockholders that will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders
shall not exceed the greater of (A) two or (B) 20% of the number of directors (rounded down to the nearest whole number) in office as of the last day on which a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination may be delivered pursuant to and in accordance with
this Section 2.15 (the “Final Proxy Access Nomination Date”). In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board of Directors after the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date but before the date of the annual meeting, and the
Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board of Directors in connection therewith, the maximum number of Stockholder Nominees included in the Corporation’s proxy materials shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office
as so reduced.
(ii) The following persons shall be considered Stockholder Nominees for purposes of determining whether the maximum number of Stockholder Nominees provided for in this Section 2.15 has been reached:
(A) any Stockholder Nominee whom the Board of Directors decides to nominate as a Board of Directors nominee, (B) any Stockholder Nominee who is subsequently withdrawn, (C) any incumbent director who had been a Stockholder Nominee or a nominee of a
stockholder pursuant to the advance notice requirements set forth in Section 2.11, in each case, at any of the preceding two annual or special meetings and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting is being recommended by the Board of Directors
and, without duplication, (D) the number of incumbent directors who are not Stockholder Nominees and who will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to such annual meeting of stockholders as an unopposed (by the Board of
Directors) nominee pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or other understanding between the Corporation and any stockholder or group of stockholders.
(iii) Any Eligible Stockholder submitting more than one Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall rank such Stockholder Nominees based
on the order that the Eligible Stockholder desires such Stockholder Nominees to be selected for
inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement. In the event that the number of Stockholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Stockholders pursuant to this
Section 2.15 exceeds the maximum number of nominees provided for in this Section 2.15, the highest ranking Stockholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 2.15 from each Eligible Stockholder will be selected for inclusion in the
Corporation’s proxy materials until the maximum number is reached, proceeding in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of common stock of the Corporation each Eligible Stockholder disclosed as owned in its respective Notice of Proxy
Access Nomination submitted to the Corporation. For the purpose of the foregoing, in the event that the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination of two or more Eligible Stockholders disclose the ownership of an identical number of shares of common stock, such
Eligible Stockholders’ Stockholder Nominees will be selected in the order (earliest date to latest date) that the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination was received by the Corporation from each such Eligible Stockholder. If the maximum number is not
reached after the highest ranking Stockholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 2.15 from each Eligible Stockholder has been selected, this process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the
maximum number is reached.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.15, if the Secretary receives notice pursuant to Section 2.11 that a stockholder intends to nominate for election at a
meeting such number of nominees that, together with the Stockholder Nominees otherwise eligible to be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.15, is greater than or equal to 50% of the total number of directors to be
elected at such meeting, the maximum number of Stockholder Nominees eligible to be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to such meeting shall be reduced in whole-number increments, subject to a minimum of zero, until the total
number of directors to be elected at such meeting pursuant to Section 2.11 and this Section 2.15 shall be less than 50% of the total number of directors to be elected at such meeting. If the Secretary receives notice pursuant to Section 2.11 that a
stockholder intends to nominate for election at such meeting a number of nominees that is greater than or equal to 50% of the total number of directors to be elected at such meeting, no Stockholder Nominees will be included in the Corporation’s proxy
materials with respect to such meeting pursuant to this Section 2.15.
(d) Ownership. For purposes of this Section 2.15, an Eligible Stockholder shall be deemed to “own” only those
outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation as to which the stockholder possesses (i) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (ii) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit from and risk
of loss on) such shares. The number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall exclude any shares (A) sold by such stockholder (or any of its Affiliates) in any transaction that has not
been settled or closed, (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,
derivative or other agreement or understanding, whether any such arrangement is to be settled with shares of common stock of the Corporation or with cash based on the
notional amount of shares subject thereto, in any such case which has, or is intended to have or if exercised would 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 its
Affiliates’) rights to vote or direct the voting and full rights to dispose or direct the disposition of any of such shares and/or (2) offsetting to any degree any gain or loss arising from the full economic interest in such shares by such stockholder
(or Affiliate). An Eligible Stockholder’s ownership of shares of common stock shall be deemed to continue during any period in which (i) the Eligible Stockholder has loaned such shares (provided, that the Eligible Stockholder has the power to recall
such loaned shares on not more than five Business Days’ notice, and recalls such loaned shares not more than five Business Days after being notified that any of its Stockholder Nominees will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials) or (ii) the
Eligible Stockholder has delegated any voting power with respect to such shares by means of proxy, power of attorney, or other instrument or arrangement (provided, that such proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement is revocable at
any time by the Eligible Stockholder, and the Eligible Stockholder revokes such proxy, power of attorney, or other instrument or arrangement not more than five Business Days after being notified that any of its Stockholder Nominees will be included in
the Corporation’s proxy materials). Whether outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation are “owned” for these purposes will be determined by the Board of Directors.
(e) Required Ownership Percentage; Minimum Holding Period. In order to make a nomination pursuant to this Section 2.15,
an Eligible Stockholder must have owned the Required Ownership Percentage (as defined below) of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock (the “Required Shares”) continuously for the Minimum Holding Period (as defined below) as of both the date the
Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is received by the Secretary in accordance with this Section 2.15 and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting and must continue to own the Required Shares through the
meeting date. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the (i) “Required Ownership Percentage” is 3% or more, based on the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock outstanding as of the most recently reported date set forth in the Corporation’s
most recent filing with the SEC containing such information and (ii) the “Minimum Holding Period” is three years.
(f) Information to Be Provided.
(i) The Notice of Proxy Access Nomination must include: (A) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, one or more written statements from the record holder of the shares
(and from each intermediary through which the shares are or have been held during the Minimum Holding Period) verifying that, as of a date within seven days prior to the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is delivered or mailed to the
Secretary, the Eligible Stockholder owns, and has owned continuously for the Minimum Holding Period, the Required Shares, and the Eligible Stockholder’s agreement to provide, within five Business Days after the record date for the annual meeting,
written statements from the record holder and intermediaries verifying the Eligible Stockholder’s continuous ownership of the Required Shares through the record date and immediate notice if the Eligible Stockholder ceases to own the Required
Shares prior to the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders; (B) documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation demonstrating that any group of funds being counted as one stockholder in meeting the definition of Eligible Stockholder is entitled to be treated as one stockholder for purposes of this Section 2.15; (C) a copy of the Schedule 14N (or any
successor form) that has been filed with the SEC as required by Rule 14a-18 under the Exchange Act (or any successor provisions); (D) the information, representations, and agreements that are the same as those that would be required to be set forth in

under which they were made, not misleading; and (G) an undertaking in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that the Eligible Stockholder agrees to (1) assume all liability stemming from any legal or regulatory violation arising
out of the Eligible Stockholder’s communications with the stockholders of the Corporation or out of the information that the Eligible Stockholder provided to the Corporation and (2) 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,

such resignation to become automatically effective upon determination by the Board of Directors (excluding for this purpose the Stockholder Nominee) that (1) such Stockholder Nominee or the applicable Eligible Stockholder has breached or has failed
to comply with any of its or their obligations under this Section 2.15 or any of its or their representations or agreements set forth in the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination (or otherwise submitted pursuant to this Section 2.15), (2) any of the

all completed and signed questionnaires required of directors and officers to the Secretary. The Corporation may request such additional information, or such of the foregoing information in a form provided by the Secretary upon written request, as

applicable Eligible Stockholder has breached or has failed to comply with any of its or their obligations under this Section 2.15 or any of its or their representations or agreements set forth in the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination (or otherwise
submitted pursuant to this Section 2.15) or any of the information in the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination (or otherwise submitted pursuant to this Section 2.15) was not, when provided, true or correct or omitted to state a material fact necessary

meeting of stockholders shall declare a nomination by an Eligible Stockholder to be invalid, 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

when the director attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Section 3.10 Action by Written Consent. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may be

other duties as may be delegated to the President from time to time by the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer. If the Board of Directors has not elected or appointed a Chief Executive Officer or the office of Chief Executive Officer is

usually associated with the office of chief marketing officer unless the Board of Directors provides for another officer to have the powers and duties of chief marketing officer. The Chief Marketing Officer shall have such other powers and perform such
other duties as may be delegated to the Chief Marketing Officer from time to time by the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer.
Section 4.9 Senior Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents. Each Senior Vice President and Vice President shall have the powers and duties delegated to such

have the custody of all funds and securities of the Corporation. The Chief Financial Officer shall perform other duties commonly incident to such office and shall also perform such other duties and have such other powers as the Board of Directors, the
Chief Executive Officer or the President shall designate from time to time. The Chief Executive Officer or President may direct the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, if there is such an officer, to assume and perform the duties of the Chief
Financial Officer in the absence or disability of the Chief Financial Officer, and each Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer shall perform other duties commonly incident to such office and shall also perform such other duties and have such other powers as
the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the President shall designate from time to time.

ARTICLE V
STOCK
Section 5.1 Form. The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all
classes or series of its stock shall be represented by uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Every holder of stock represented by
certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by, (a) the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the
President, the Chief Marketing Officer, a Senior Vice President or a Vice President and (b) the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Any or all signatures on any such certificate may be a facsimile. In case any
officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, whose facsimile signature has been used on or who has duly affixed a facsimile signature or signatures to any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer, transfer agent or
registrar of the Corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been issued by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued as though the person or persons who
signed such certificate or certificates, whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon or who duly affixed a facsimile signature or signatures thereon had not ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation.
Section 5.2 Transfers of Stock. Transfers of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be made only on the stock record of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such person’s attorney thereunto authorized by the
power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary or the transfer agent thereof. Certificated shares shall be transferred only upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares, properly endorsed or accompanied by a
duly executed stock transfer power. Uncertificated shares shall be transferred by delivery of a duly executed stock transfer power. Registration of transfer of any shares shall be subject to applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and
applicable law with respect to the transfer of such shares. The Board of Directors may make such additional rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue and transfer of shares of stock of the Corporation.
Section 5.3 Transfer Agent. The Board of Directors may appoint, or authorize any officer or officers to appoint, one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars to act as its transfer agent or registrar, or both in

Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates,
or of uncertificated shares, the Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or such person’s legal representative, to give
the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated
shares.

thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time, in its absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or
maintaining any property of the Corporation or for such other purpose as the Board of Directors may think conducive to the interests of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserves in the manner in which it was
created.
Section 6.2 Contracts. In addition to the powers otherwise granted to officers pursuant to Article IV hereof, the Board of Directors may authorize any officer or officers, or any agent or agents, in the name and on behalf of the

the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Marketing Officer, the Treasurer, the Secretary or any Senior Vice President or Vice President, unless the Board of Directors specifically confers authority to vote (or expresses consent in writing)

general power of substitution.
Section 6.6 Inspection of Books and Records. The Board of Directors shall have power from time to time to determine to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions and regulations the accounts and books of

that an act be done during a period of a specified number of days prior to an event, calendar days shall be used, the day of the doing of the act shall be excluded and the day of the event shall be included.
Section 6.8 Section Headings. Section headings in these Bylaws are for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect in limiting or otherwise construing any provision herein.

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 7.1 Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including involvement, without limitation, as a
witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director
or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of the Corporation or as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, administrator, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director
or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense,
liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time (“ERISA”), and any other penalties and amounts
paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation (or has ceased to
serve, at the request of the Corporation, as an employee or agent of the Corporation or as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, administrator, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability
company, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan) and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 7.2 with
respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part
thereof) was authorized in the first instance
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 7.1 shall be a contract right and shall include the obligation of the
Corporation to pay the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee shall be made only upon delivery
to the Corporation of an undertaking (an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “final
adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 7.1 or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to employees and
agents of the Corporation with the same or lesser scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers.
Section 7.2 Procedure for Indemnification. If a claim for indemnification under this Article VII (which may only be made following the final disposition of such proceeding) is not paid in
full within 60 days after the Corporation has received a claim therefor by the indemnitee, or if a claim for any advancement of expenses under this Article VII is not paid in full within 30 days after the Corporation has received a statement or
statements requesting such amounts to be advanced (provided that the indemnitee has delivered the undertaking contemplated by Section 7.1), the indemnitee shall thereupon (but not before) be entitled to file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such
claim. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing such person’s right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted
by law. It shall be a defense to any action by a director or officer for indemnification or the advancement of expenses (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advancement of expenses where the undertaking required pursuant to Section
7.2, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such
defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors, a committee thereof, independent legal counsel or 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 such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its directors, a committee thereof,
independent legal counsel or 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. The procedure
for indemnification of other employees and agents of the Corporation for whom indemnification and advancement of expenses is provided pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be the same procedure set forth in this Section 7.2 for directors or officers of the
Corporation, unless otherwise set forth in the action of the Board of Directors providing indemnification and advancement of expenses for such employees or agents of the Corporation.
Section 7.3 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or
was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan,
against any expense, liability or loss asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expenses, liability or loss under the DGCL.
Section 7.4 Service for Subsidiaries. Any person serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other enterprise, at least 50% of whose equity
interests are owned directly or indirectly by the Corporation (a “subsidiary” for this Article VII) shall be conclusively presumed to be serving in such capacity at the request of the Corporation.
Section 7.5 Reliance. Persons who after the date of the adoption of this provision become or remain directors or officers of the Corporation or who, while a director or officer of the Corporation, become or remain a director,
officer, employee or agent of a subsidiary, shall be conclusively presumed to have relied on the rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and other rights contained in this Article VII in entering into or continuing such service. The rights
to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article VII shall apply to claims made against an indemnitee arising out of acts or omissions which occurred or occur both prior and subsequent to the adoption hereof.
Section 7.6 Other Rights; Continuation of Rights to Indemnification. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may
