propose business at an annual meeting of stockholders; and (ii) add required
information from the stockholder giving such notice (and the beneficial owner,
if any, on whose behalf the nomination or business proposal is made) (Article I,
Section 1.12);
•clarify that the Chief Financial Officer may fulfill the role of Treasurer, as
necessary (Article IV, Section 4.1);

exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Article XI); and

Bylaws.
