ARTICLE II

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 2.1. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of
stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date, time and
place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by
resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time. Only such business shall
be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the annual meeting. To
be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be specified in the
notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of
the Board of Directors, or otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or
at the direction of the Board of Directors, or otherwise properly brought before
the meeting by a stockholder.

Section 2.2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of
stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board
of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, the Lead
Independent Director, or one or more record holders of shares of stock of the
Corporation representing in the aggregate not less than twenty percent (20%) of
the total number of shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the
matter or matters to be brought before the proposed special meeting (the “Voting
Stock”). A stockholder request for a special meeting shall be directed to the
Secretary of the Corporation at the Corporation’s principal executive offices
and shall be signed by each stockholder, or a duly authorized agent of such
stockholder, requesting the special meeting and shall be accompanied by a notice
setting forth the information required by Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, as
applicable, of Article II of these By-laws, as to any nominations proposed to be
presented and any other business proposed to be conducted at such special
meeting and as to the stockholder(s) requesting the special meeting. In addition
to the information required by Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, as applicable, of
Article II of these By-laws, the special meeting request shall include (i) an
acknowledgement by such stockholder(s) that any disposition of shares of the
Voting Stock held of record by such stockholder(s) as of the date of delivery of
the special meeting request and prior to the record date for the proposed
special meeting of stockholders requested by such stockholder(s) shall
constitute a revocation of such request with respect to such shares, and (ii)
documentary evidence that the requesting stockholder(s) own in the aggregate the
requisite twenty percent (20%) or more of the Voting Stock as of the date of
such written request to the Secretary; provided, however, that if the requesting
stockholder(s) are not the beneficial owner(s) of the shares representing the
requisite twenty percent (20%) or more of the Voting Stock as of the date of
such written request to the Secretary, then to be valid, the written request
must also include documentary evidence that the beneficial owner(s) on whose
behalf the special meeting request is made beneficially own the requisite twenty
percent (20%) or more of the Voting Stock as of the date of such written request
to the Secretary. In addition, the requesting stockholder(s) and the beneficial
owner(s), if any, shall promptly provide any other information reasonably
requested by the Corporation.

A special meeting requested by stockholder(s) shall be held at such date,
time and place within or without the state of Delaware as may be designated by
the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date of any such special
meeting shall be not more than 90 days after the request to call the special
meeting by the stockholder(s) who satisfy the requirements of this Section 2.2
is received by the Secretary, unless a later date is required in order to allow
the Corporation to file the information required under Item 8 (or any comparable
or successor provision) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), if applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a special meeting requested by the
stockholder(s) shall not be held if: (i) the request for the special meeting
does not comply with the provisions of these By-laws, (ii) the stated business
to be brought before the special meeting is not a proper subject for stockholder
action under applicable law, (iii) the Board of Directors has called or calls
for an annual meeting of stockholders to be held within 90 days after the
Secretary receives the request for the special meeting and the Board of
Directors determines in good faith that the business of such annual meeting
includes (among any other matters properly brought before the annual meeting)
the business specified in the stockholder(s)’ request for a special meeting,
(iv) an annual or special meeting of stockholders that included an identical or
substantially similar item of business (“Similar Business”), as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors, was held not more than 120 days before the
special meeting request was received by the Secretary, or (v) the special
meeting request was made in a manner that involved a violation of Regulation 14A
under the Exchange Act or other applicable law. For purposes of this Section
2.2, the election of directors shall be deemed to be Similar Business with
respect to all items of business involving the election or removal of directors,
changing the size of the Board of Directors and filing of vacancies and/or newly
created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of
directors.

In determining whether a special meeting of stockholders has been requested
by the record holders of shares representing in the aggregate not less than
twenty percent (20%) of the Voting Stock as of the date of such written request
to the Secretary, multiple special meeting requests delivered to the Secretary
will be considered together only if (i) each request identifies substantially
the same purpose or purposes of the proposed special meeting and substantially
the same matters proposed to be acted on at the proposed special meeting (in
each case as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), and (ii) such
request(s) have been dated and delivered to the Secretary within sixty (60) days
of the earliest dated special meeting request.

A stockholder may revoke a request for a special meeting at any time by
written revocation delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, and if,
following such revocation, there are un-revoked requests from stockholders
holding in the aggregate less than the requisite number of Voting Stock
entitling the stockholder(s) to request the calling of a special meeting, the
Board of Directors, in its discretion, may cancel the special meeting. If none
of the stockholder(s) who submitted the request for a special meeting appears or
sends a qualified representative to present the nominations proposed to be
presented or other business proposed to be conducted at the special meeting, the
Corporation need not present such nominations or other business for a vote at
such meeting.

Business transacted at all special meetings shall be confined to the
matter(s) stated in the notice of special meeting. Business transacted at a
special meeting requested by stockholders shall be limited to the matter(s)
described in the special meeting request; provided, however, that nothing herein
shall prohibit the Board of Directors from submitting matter(s) to the
stockholders at any special meeting requested by stockholder(s).

The Chair of a special meeting shall determine all matter(s) relating to the
conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, determining whether any
nomination or other item of business has been properly brought before the
meeting in accordance with these By-laws, and if the Chair should so determine
and declare that any nomination or other item of business has not been properly
brought before the special meeting, then such business shall not be transacted
at such meeting.

Special meetings of stockholders may not be called by any person or persons
other than as specified by this Section 2.2.

Section 2.3. Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are
required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the
meeting shall be given that shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting
and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the
meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of
Incorporation or these By-laws, the written notice of any meeting shall be given
not less than 10 days (unless a greater period of notice is required by law in a
particular case) nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each
stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be
deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the
Corporation.

Section 2.4. Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders,
annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or
some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if
the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment
is taken. 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, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed
for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to
each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 2.5. Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law,
the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, at each meeting of
stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of
stock having a majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all
outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary
and sufficient to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the
stockholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to
time in the manner provided in Section 2.4 of these By-laws until a quorum shall
attend. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another
corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of
directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the
Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum
purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the
Corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by
it in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 2.6. Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be
presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the
Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the President, or in
his absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a
chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such
designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as
secretary of the meeting, but in his absence the chairman of the meeting may
appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 2.7. Voting; Proxies. Except as otherwise provided
by the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any
meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock
held by him which has voting power upon the matter in question. Each stockholder
entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or
persons to act for him by proxy, 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 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 stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable
by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in
writing revoking the proxy or by delivering a proxy in accordance with
applicable law bearing a later date to the Secretary of the Corporation. Voting
at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot; provided, however,
that any election for directors must be by ballot if demanded by any stockholder
at the meeting before the election has begun. Voting for the election of
directors at any meeting of stockholders shall be as specified in Section 3.3 of
these Bylaws. All other matters presented to the stockholders for a vote, unless
otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws,
shall be decided by the vote of the holders of shares of stock having a majority
of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all shares of stock
outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

Section 2.8. Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of
Record. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any
adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in
respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any
other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record
date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date
is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date: (1) in the case of
determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders or
adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than
60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting and (2) in the case of
any other action, shall not be more than 60 days prior to such other action. If
no record date is fixed: (1) the record date for determining stockholders
entitled to notice of or 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 and (2) the record date for determining
stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day
on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A
determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a
meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided,
however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned
meeting.

Section 2.9. List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The
Secretary shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of
stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the
meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each
stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.
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 at least
10 days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the
meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the
meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.
The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting
during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any

stockholder who is present. Upon the willful neglect or refusal of the
directors to produce such a list at any meeting for the election of directors,
they shall be ineligible for election to any office at such meeting. The stock
ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to
examine the stock ledger, the list of stockholders or the books of the
Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 2.10. Stockholder Proposals at Any Meeting of Stockholders.
At a meeting of stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as
shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought
before a meeting of stockholders, business must be specified in the notice of
meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors, otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction
of the Board of Directors, or otherwise properly brought before the meeting by
stockholder(s). In addition to any other applicable requirements for business to
be properly brought before a meeting by stockholder(s), whether or not the
stockholder(s) are seeking to have a proposal included in the Corporation’s
proxy statement or information statement under any applicable rule of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including, but not limited to,
Regulation 14A or Regulation 14C under the Exchange Act, the stockholder(s) must
have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation.
To be timely, in the case of stockholder(s) seeking to have a proposal included
in the Corporation’s proxy statement or information statement, stockholder(s)’
notice must be delivered to the Secretary at the Corporation’s principal
executive offices not less than 120 days or more than 180 days prior to the
first anniversary (the “Anniversary”) of the date on which the Corporation first
mailed its proxy materials for the previous year’s annual meeting of
stockholders. However, if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than
30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after the Anniversary of the
preceding year’s annual meeting, then notice by the stockholder(s) to be timely
must be delivered to the Secretary at the Corporation’s principal executive
offices not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90th day
prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the 15th day following the day on which
public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. If the
stockholder(s) are not seeking inclusion of a proposal in the Corporation’s
proxy statement or information statement but nonetheless intend to present such
proposal at the annual meeting, timely notice consists of stockholder(s)’ notice
delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days prior to the date of the annual
meeting. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting
or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a
stockholder’s notice as described above. Other than with respect to stockholder
proposals relating to director nomination(s) which requirements are set forth in
Section 2.11 below, stockholder(s)’ notice to the Secretary shall set forth as
to each matter the stockholder(s) propose to bring before the meeting of
stockholders: (i) a brief description of the business the stockholder(s) desire
to bring before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the
meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the stockholder(s) proposing such
business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are
beneficially owned by the stockholder(s), (iv) any material interest of the
stockholder(s) in such business; (v) as to the stockholder(s) giving the notice
and any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below), whether and the extent
to which any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions has been
entered into by or on behalf of, or any other agreement, arrangement or
understanding (including, but not limited to, any short position or any
borrowing or lending of shares of stock) has been made, the effect or intent of
which is to mitigate loss or increase profit to or manage the risk or benefit of
stock price changes for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of, such
stockholder(s) or any such Stockholder Associated Person with respect to any
share of stock of the Corporation (each, a “Relevant Hedge Transaction”), and
(vi) as to the stockholder(s) giving the notice and any Stockholder Associated
Person, to the extent not set forth pursuant to the immediately preceding
clause, (a) whether and the extent to which such stockholder(s) or Stockholder
Associated Person has direct or indirect beneficial ownership of any option,
warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with
an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a
price related to any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether or
not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying
class or series of capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise, or any other
direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any
increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation (a “Derivative
Instrument”), (b) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned
beneficially by such stockholder(s) that are separated or separable from the
underlying shares of the Corporation, (c) any proportionate interest in shares
of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a
general or limited partnership in which such stockholder(s) are a general
partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general
partner and (d) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee)
that such stockholder(s) are entitled to based on any increase or decrease in
the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of
the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by
members of such stockholder(s)’ immediate family sharing the same household
(which information shall be supplemented by such stockholder(s) and beneficial
owner(s), if any, not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting
to disclose such ownership as of the record date).

For purposes of this Section 2.10 and Section 2.11, “Stockholder Associated
Person” of any stockholder shall mean (i) any person controlling or controlled
by, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (ii)
any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or
beneficially by such stockholder and (iii) any person controlling, controlled by
or under common control with such Stockholder Associated Person.

The Chairman of a meeting of stockholders shall, if the facts warrant,
determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought
before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.10 and
the other provisions of these By-laws, and if the Chairman should so determine
he or she shall so declare to the meeting, and any such business not properly
brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall affect the right of a stockholder to
request inclusion of a proposal in the Corporation’s proxy statement to the
extent that such right is provided by an applicable law.

Section 2.11. Nominations of Persons For Election to the Board of
Directors. In addition to any other applicable requirements, only
persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be
eligible for election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the
Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders
by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, by any nominating committee or
person appointed by the Board of Directors or by stockholder(s) of the
Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting who
comply with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.11 and the other
provisions of these By-laws. Such nominations shall be made pursuant to timely
notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation at the Corporation’s
principal executive offices in accordance with these By-laws. To be timely, in
the case of stockholder(s) seeking to have a nomination included in the
Corporation’s proxy statement or information statement, stockholder(s)’ notice
must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices
of the Corporation, not less than 120 days or more than 180 days prior to the
first Anniversary of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy
materials for the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. However, if
the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed
by more than 30 days after the Anniversary of the preceding year’s annual
meeting, then notice by stockholder(s) to be timely must be delivered to the
Secretary at the Corporation’s principal executive offices not later than the
close of business on the later of (i) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting
or (ii) the 15th day following the day on which public announcement of the date
of such meeting is first made. If the stockholder(s) are not seeking inclusion
of a nomination in the Corporation’s proxy statement or information statement
but nonetheless intend to present such nomination at the annual meeting, timely
notice consists of stockholder(s)’ notice delivered to or mailed and received at
the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days prior
to the date of the annual meeting. In no event shall any adjournment or
postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new
time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. The
stockholder(s)’ notice relating to director nomination(s) shall set forth (a) as
to each person whom the stockholder(s) propose to nominate for election or
re-election as a director, (i) the name, age, business address and residence
address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the
person, (iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are
beneficially owned by the person, and (iv) any other information relating to the
person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for
election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act; (b) as
to the stockholder(s) giving the notice, (i) the name and record address of the
stockholder(s), and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which
are beneficially owned by the stockholder(s); (c) as to the stockholder(s)
giving the notice and any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined in Section
2.10), to the extent not set forth pursuant to the immediately preceding clause,
whether and the extent to which any Relevant Hedge Transaction (as defined in
Section 2.10) has been entered into, and (d) as to the stockholder(s) giving the
notice and any Stockholder Associated Person, (1) whether and the extent to
which any Derivative Instrument (as defined in Section 2.10) is directly or
indirectly beneficially owned, (2) any rights to dividends on the shares of the
Corporation owned beneficially by such stockholder(s) that are separated or
separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (3) any proportionate
interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly
or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such stockholder(s)
are a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest
in a general partner and (4) any performance-related fees (other than an
asset-based fee) that such stockholder(s) are entitled to based on any increase
or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments,
if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such
interests held by members of such stockholder(s)’ immediate family sharing the
same household (which information shall be supplemented by such stockholder(s)
and beneficial owner(s), if any, not later than 10 days after the record date
for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date). The
Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information
as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of
such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. No person shall
be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in
accordance with the procedures set forth in these By-laws.

The Chairman of a meeting of stockholders shall, if the facts warrant,
determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.11 and the other provisions of
these By-laws, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting
and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

Section 2.12. No Action By Consent of Stockholders. No
action that is required to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation at
any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be effected by written consent
of stockholders in lieu of a meeting.

Section 2.13. Conduct of Meetings. The Board of Directors of
the Corporation may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the
conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to
the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board
of Directors, the chairman 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 chairman, are appropriate for the proper
conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted
by the Board of Direc-tors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may
include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establish-ment 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 the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to
the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v)
limitations on the time allotted to questions or com-ments by participants.
Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of
the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in
accor-dance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

Section 2.14. Inspectors of Elections; Opening and
Closing the Polls. The Board of Directors by resolution may appoint one
or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who
serve the Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as
officers, employees, agents or representatives of the Corporation, to act at the
meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated
as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no
inspector or alternate has been appointed to act, or if all inspectors or

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 3.1. General Powers. The business
and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its
Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authorities by these By-laws
expressly conferred upon them, the Board of Directors may exercise all such
powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by
law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-laws required to be
exercised or done by the stockholders.

Section 3.2. Number; Qualifications. The Board of Directors
shall consist of one or more members, the number to be determined from time to
time by resolution of the Board of Directors. Directors need not be
stockholders.

Section 3.3. Election; Resignation; Removal; Vacancies. At
the first annual meeting of stockholders and at each annual meeting thereafter,
the stockholders shall elect directors by a majority of the votes cast unless
the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, in which
case the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the shares represented in
person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of
directors. A majority of votes cast means that the number of shares entitled to
vote on the election of directors and represented in person or by proxy at such
meeting casting their vote “for” a director must exceed the number of such votes
cast “against” that director. If a nominee for director, who is not serving as a
director of the Corporation at the time of such election, does not receive a
majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders for the election of
directors, such nominee shall not be elected. If a nominee for director, who is
serving as a director of the Corporation at the time of such election, does not
receive a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders for the
election of directors, such nominee shall tender his or her resignation to the
Board of Directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee shall then make a
recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the
resignation. The Board of Directors will act on the Nominating and Governance
Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the reasons
for it within 90 days from the date that the election results are certified. The
director who tenders his or resignation will not participate in the Board’s
decision.

Each director shall hold office for a term of one year or until such time as
his successor is elected and qualified. Any director, or the entire Board of
Directors, may be removed, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of shares then entitled to vote at the election of
directors. Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the Board
of Directors. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless the notice
specifies a later time for that resignation to become effective. Any newly
created directorship resulting from an increase in the authorized number of
directors or any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors by reason of death,
resignation, retirement, disqualification, failure to receive a majority of the
votes cast at an election of directors, removal from office or any other cause
may be filled by the affirmative vote of

the remaining members of the Board of Directors, though less than a quorum of
the Board of Directors, and each director so elected shall hold office until the
expiration of the term of office of the director whom he has replaced or until
his successor is elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of directors
constituting the whole Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 3.4. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board
of Directors may be held at such places within or without the State of Delaware
and at such times as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine, and
if so determined notices thereof need not be given.

Section 3.5. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board
of Directors may be held at any time or place within or without the State of
Delaware whenever called by the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Lead
Independent Director, or any two members of the Board of Directors. Notice of
the time and place of a special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be
delivered by the person or persons calling the meeting personally, by facsimile
or by telephone to each director or sent by first-class mail, telegram, charges
prepaid, addressed to each director at that directors’ address as it is shown on
the records of the Corporation. If the notice is mailed, it shall be deposited
in the United States mail at least 4 days before the time of the holding of the
meeting. If the notice is delivered personally or by telephone or telegraph, it
shall be delivered at least 48 hours before the time of the holding of the
special meeting. If by facsimile transmission, such notice shall be transmitted
at least 24 hours before the time of holding of the special meeting. Any oral
notice given personally or by telephone may be communicated either to the
director or to a person at the office of the director who the person giving the
notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the director. The
notice need not specify the purpose or purposes of the special meeting or the
place of the special meeting, if the meeting is to be held at the principal
office of the Corporation.

Section 3.6. Telephonic Meetings Permitted. Members of the
Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may
participate in a meeting thereof by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the
meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this
by-law shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

Section 3.7. Quorum; Vote Required for Action; Adjournment.
At all meetings of the Board of Directors fifty percent (50%) of the whole Board
of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Except
in cases in which the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws otherwise
provide, the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a
quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. A majority of the
directors present, whether or not a quorum, may adjourn any meeting to another
time and place. Notice of the time and place of holding an adjourned meeting
need not be given unless the meeting is adjourned for more than 24 hours. If the
meeting is adjourned for more than 24 hours, then notice of the time and place
of the adjourned meeting shall be given to the directors who were not present at
the time of the adjournment in the manner specified in Section 3.5.

Section 3.8. Organization. Meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his

President, or in their absence by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The
Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his absence the chairman
of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 3.9. Informal Action by Directors. Unless otherwise
restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, any action
required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or
of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the
Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in
writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings
of the Board of Directors or such committee.

Section 3.10. Fees and Compensation of Directors. Directors
and members of committees may receive such compensation, if any, for their
services and such reimbursement of expenses as may be fixed or determined by
resolution of the Board of Directors. This Section 3.10 shall not be construed
to preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity as
an officer, agent, employee or otherwise and receiving compensation for those
services.

Section 3.11. Approval of Loans to Officers. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any
obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the
Corporation or of its subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a
director of the Corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the
directors, such loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to
benefit the Corporation. To the extent permitted by applicable law, such loan,
guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest and may be
unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of Directors shall approve,
including without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the Corporation.
Nothing in this section contained shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the
powers of guaranty or warranty of the Corporation at common law or under any
statutes.

of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the
Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all

otherwise provides, each committee designated by the Board of Directors may

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1. Right to Indemnification. The Corporation shall
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is
made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a
“proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the
legal repre-sentative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is
or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another Corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to
employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such person. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify a person
in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only
if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation.

Section 7.2. Prepayment of Expenses. The Corporation shall
pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any
proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that the
payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking
by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be
ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be
indemnified under this Article VII or otherwise.

Section 7.3. Claims. If a claim for indemnification or
payment of expenses under this Article VII is not paid in full within 60 days
after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, the
claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if
successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of
prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden
of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification
or payment of expenses under applicable law.

Section 7.4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred
on any person by this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other rights
which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of
the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 7.5. Other Indemnification. The Corporation’s
obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any
amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit enterprise.

Section 7.6. Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification
of the foregoing provisions of this Article VII shall not adversely affect any
right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission

and Committees. Any written waiver of notice, signed by the person
entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be
deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a
meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting,
to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any
regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a
committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

Section 8.4. Interested Directors; Quorum. No contract or
transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or
officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership,
association, or other organization in which one or more of its directors or
officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void
or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is
present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee
thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or
their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (1) the material facts as to his
relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or
are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors
or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the
affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the
disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (2) the material facts as to
his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed
or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or
transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders;
or (3) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time
it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors, a committee
thereof, or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in
determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or
of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger,
books of account, and minute books, may be kept on, or be in the form of, punch

directly or indirectly to any person, firm or entity, or country or countries,
prohibited by the laws or regulations of the United States or any other country.
Further, Distributor shall notify any person, firm or entity obtaining such
products or technical data from Distributor of the need to comply with such laws
and regulations. Altera will provide (in a mechanized format mutually agreed to
by the parties) accurate export control classification numbers and harmonized
tariff codes for all Products.

3.7 Records; Audit. Distributor will maintain accurate and complete
records reflecting its performance under this Agreement. During normal business
hours, no more than twice in any twelve (12) month period, and upon not less
than ten (10) business days prior notice, Altera or its authorized
representatives may (i) conduct a physical inventory of Products in any stocking
location (or, in automated facilities, observe cycle counts and related
methodology), or (ii) with regard to the transactions occurring in the twelve
months immediately preceding the audit, review, inspect, audit and copy all
books and records relating specifically to or pertaining to this Agreement, kept
by or under control of Distributor, including but not limited to those kept by
Distributor and its employees. Upon Altera’s request, Distributor shall use
reasonable efforts to make such books and records available at its corporate
headquarters.

4. ALTERA’S RESPONSIBILITY

Altera will furnish Distributor without charge a reasonable supply of
Altera’s current list of published suggested prices, sales literature, books,
catalogs, etc. as Altera may prepare for distribution, and shall also provide
Distributor with such technical and sales assistance as may be necessary to
assist Distributor in effectively carrying out its obligations under this
Agreement. Altera reserves the right to sell directly to any and all customers.

5. ORDER PROCEDURE

5.1 Orders. Distributor will place individual orders for the Products
from time to time during the term of this Agreement by EDI, or for Software
Products, as otherwise instructed by Altera, and such orders will contain all
reasonably required information, as determined by Altera. This Agreement shall
govern to the extent that any terms in this Agreement are inconsistent with the
terms of any agreement between Altera and Distributor relating to EDI or other
data interchange.

5.2 Acceptance by Altera. All orders for the Products by Distributor
shall be subject to acceptance by Altera and shall not be binding until the
earlier of such acceptance or shipment, and, in the case of acceptance by
shipment, only as to the portion of the order actually shipped. Altera has the
right to refuse to accept, for any reason, any order placed by Distributor. Any
Distributor order not rejected by Altera within ten (10) days of issuance by
Distributor will be deemed accepted.

5.3 Controlling Terms. The terms of this Agreement will apply to each
order accepted or shipped by Altera under this Agreement. In the event that any
terms or conditions of sale contained in any communication between Distributor
and Altera contradict or are inconsistent with anything contained in this
Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail. Altera’s
acceptance of any order from Distributor under this Agreement is conditioned on
Distributor agreeing that the terms of this Agreement shall prevail over any
additional or inconsistent terms communicated by Distributor to Altera in any
form whatsoever.

5.4 Changes and Cancellation by Distributor.

(a) Standard Products: All orders submitted by Distributor and
accepted by Altera are firm commitments by Distributor to buy Altera Products.
Distributor will notify Altera in writing in a timely manner of its desire to
change or cancel any order. Altera shall have the right to deny any change or
cancellation request submitted by Distributor within ninety (90) days of the
current factory scheduled shipment date. However, within the period from thirty
(30) to ninety (90) days of the current factory scheduled shipment date, Altera
will use reasonable efforts to accommodate reasonable requests for changes or
cancellations. Within the period from zero (0) to thirty (30) days of current
factory scheduled shipment date, Altera will accept change orders only in
extraordinary circumstances, which shall be determined by Altera in its sole
judgment. Altera’s acceptance of any change or cancellation shall not obligate
Altera to accept any future change or cancellation requests. It is the
responsibility of Distributor to reconcile its own records of orders on Altera
with Altera’s records of order backlog and manage accordingly.

(b) HardCopy Products: Distributor may place orders on Altera for
HardCopy Products in accordance with the terms of the Master HardCopy
Development and Sale Agreement agreed to by the parties as of June 19, 2007.

(c) Non-Standard Products: From time to time, Distributor may place
orders on Altera for Non-Standard Product other than HardCopy. For purposes of
this Agreement, Non-Standard Product is defined as any Product other than
HardCopy that is not listed in Altera’s published distributor price list, or
that requires special processing by Altera. Once accepted by Altera, orders for
Non-Standard Product may not be changed in any way without prior approval of
Altera. As a pre-condition to approving a request to change or cancel an order
for Non-Standard Product, Altera may require Distributor to compensate Altera
for any costs incurred by Altera as a result of the change or cancellation.
Certain Non-Standard Product specified by Altera shall be non-cancelable and
non-refundable.

5.6 Cancellation by Altera. Altera reserves the right to cancel any
orders placed by Distributor and accepted by Altera as set forth above, or to
refuse or delay shipment thereof, if:

(a) Distributor fails to make any payment as provided in this Agreement or
under the terms of payment set forth in any invoice or otherwise agreed to by
Altera and Distributor;

(b) Distributor fails to meet reasonable credit or financial requirements
established by Altera, including any limitations on allowable credit;

(d) this Agreement is terminated and the scheduled delivery would take place
after the Agreement’s termination date; or

(e) circumstances beyond Altera’s control prevent it from shipping any order
by the requested delivery date.

Altera also reserves the right to discontinue the manufacture or distribution
of any or all of the Products at any time, and to cancel any orders for such
discontinued Products, and, except as set forth in this subparagraph 5.6(e),
without liability of any kind to Distributor or to any other person. No such
cancellation, refusal or delay will be deemed a termination (unless Altera so
advises Distributor) or breach of this Agreement by Altera. Altera will attempt,
but is not required, to provide Distributor with at least sixty (60) days
advance written notice of Product discontinuances in the same manner as is
provided to customers in general. Distributor may, in its discretion, within
sixty (60) days of its receipt of such notice, notify Altera in writing of its
intention to return any or all such Products which remain in its inventory for a
credit equal to the net price paid by Distributor for such Products. The
Products will be returned within sixty (60) days of the date of Distributor’s
receipt of Altera’s return authorization. Altera will pay all freight and
shipping charges in connection with any such returns.

6. PAYMENT

6.1 Terms and Interest. Payment shall be made according to the terms
specified in writing by Altera and agreed to by Arrow. Interest shall be payable
at the rate of one-and-one-half percent (1.5%) per month or at the maximum rate
permitted by law, whichever is less, on all overdue and unpaid invoices. Altera
has the right to invoice Distributor for any unauthorized discounts or
deductions taken by Distributor, and Distributor shall make payment on such
invoices net thirty (30) days. Altera will not accept and Distributor will not
make bulk payments; all transactions, including remittances, must include the
appropriate Altera reference number from EDI. Distributor will not take and
Altera will not accept deductions

of credits before they are sent via EDI.

6.2 Method of Payment. Distributor shall make payment in US Dollars or
in such method as agreed to by the parties in writing.

6.3 Taxes, Tariffs, and Fees. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by
Altera, all prices quoted by Altera for the Products do not include any
national, state, or local sales, use, value added or other taxes, customs
duties, or similar tariffs and fees. Distributor shall be responsible and liable
for the payment of any taxes, customs duties, or other government fees and
tariffs applicable to the Products, except for taxes based on Altera’s net
income, unless Distributor has provided Altera with an exemption resale
certificate in the appropriate form for the jurisdiction to which the Products
are to be directly shipped. Distributor agrees to indemnify Altera for any claim
for taxes, customs duties, or other government fees and tariffs applicable to
the Products that may be levied on Altera.

6.4 Set-Off. Altera will have the right to setoff against any payment
obligation owed to Distributor any amounts due to Altera or to Altera’s
affiliates or subsidiaries.

7. SHIPMENT AND RISK OF LOSS:

7.1 Shipment. Orders issued by the Distributor will specify requested
shipment dates. Distributor will select the mode of shipment and the carrier.
Altera will pay for packing costs. Distributor will be responsible for and pay
all shipping, freight, and insurance charges, which charges Altera may require
Distributor to pay in advance.

7.2 Delays in Shipment. Altera will use commercially reasonable
efforts to ship products to arrive by any requested delivery dates quoted or
acknowledged. However, Altera will not be liable for any delay in shipment or
delay in performance under this Agreement due to unforeseen circumstances or due
to causes beyond its control including but not limited to, acts of nature, acts
of government, labor disputes, delays in transportation, and delays in delivery
or inability to deliver by Altera’s suppliers.

7.3 Right to Ship Ahead. Altera reserves the right to ship up to three
(3) days in advance of the calculated ship date necessary to meet Distributor’s
requested dock date. Distributor will accept delivery of such shipments.

7.4 Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss or damage to the Products
shall pass to Distributor, or to such financing institution or other party or
parties as may have been designated to Altera by Distributor: (i) when Altera
releases the Products to the carrier at Altera’s shipping point if Altera ships
from Altera or warehousing facilities located within one country to a
destination within the same country; (ii) when the Products arrive at
Distributor’s shipping destination if Altera ships the Products from Altera’s
facilities in the United States to a destination in Mexico or Canada; and (iii)
when the Products arrive at a place one mile following the Products’ departure
from the territorial boundaries of the jurisdiction in which the shipping origin
is located, in all cases not covered by (i) or (ii). Upon passage of title and
risk of loss or damage, Altera advises Distributor to insure Products for the
full purchase price paid by Distributor to Altera.

8. PRICES

8.1 Altera’s Prices. Distributor shall purchase products at Altera’s
prices as are in effect at the time the order is received from the Distributor.

8.2 Price Changes: From time to time, Altera may decide to change the
prices for the Products.

(a) Price decreases: In the event of a price decrease by Altera,
Altera will invoice Distributor at the lower price for all orders placed by
Distributor that have not been delivered as of the effective date of the price
decrease.

(b) Price increases: In the event of a price increase, Altera will
announce to Distributor its intention to raise prices at least thirty (30) days
before the effective date of such a price increase. Distributor shall have the
right to cancel (within ten (10) days of the announcement of a price increase)
any orders for Product for which Altera has announced a price increase.

8.3 Credit for Inventory Invoiced at Higher Price. In the event of a
price decrease, Altera shall issue a credit to Distributor in the amount of the
price decrease for all unsold Products then stocked by the Distributor provided
that Distributor satisfies the terms and conditions specified in subparagraphs
8.4 and 8.5(b) and (c).

8.4 Record Keeping for Price Decrease Credits. As a condition of
Altera issuing Distributor a credit pursuant to subparagraph 8.3, Altera must
receive an inventory report from Distributor no later than thirty (30) days
after the effective date of the price decrease. No credit will be due
Distributor if Distributor fails to furnish such inventory report within the
thirty (30) day period. Altera shall have the right to audit the information
provided in this report against the previous inventory reports and subsequent
resale reports. Altera may conduct such audit in accordance with the provisions
of subparagraph 3.7 of this Agreement. Upon verification of Distributor’s claim
for credit, Altera shall issue a credit to Distributor’s account.

8.5 Procedure for Submitting Claims for Credit.

(a) Distributor must submit its claims for the following types of credits
within sixty (60) days of the following:

(i) Price Discrepancies: the date of any invoice that contains a price
discrepancy; or

(ii) SSD (ship from stock debit): sales out date.

Altera will not honor any claims for credit submitted after the sixty (60)
day period.

(b) All claims for credit must specify the invoice number(s) to which the
claim applies.

(c) If Altera provided Distributor with a discount on its regular prices at
the time that Altera invoiced Distributor for the Products that are the subject
of a claim for credit, Altera shall subtract from the credit the proportional
amount of the prior discount.

9. STOCK ROTATION AND RETURNS

9.1 Return of Products. If Altera determines in accordance with its
Stock Rotation Policy that Distributor’s inventory is overstocked with certain
Products, Distributor may return such Products to Altera pursuant to
subparagraph 9.2. Products that are obsolete or discontinued may only be
returned pursuant to subparagraph 9.3 of this Agreement. Returns of Products
that are permitted in connection with the termination of this Agreement are
subject to paragraph 14. All returns require a Return Material Authorization
(“RMA”) and must follow Altera return policies.

Distributor shall bear all freight costs and risk of loss or damage during
shipment of returned Products and shall ship returned Products in accordance
with Altera’s reasonable instructions.

Distributor’s account will be credited by Altera in the amount paid by
Distributor for the returned Products after Altera receives the Products and
verifies their quantity and quality. All returned Products must be unused,
undamaged, and in Altera factory-sealed bags or Altera factory-shipped boxes.
Distributor may not take any deductions from payments due to Altera before
Altera has issued a credit to Distributor; Altera will charge interest at the
rate of one-and-one-half percent (1.5%) per month or at the maximum rate
permitted by law, whichever is less, from the date that Distributor makes any
unauthorized deductions.

9.2 Procedure for Stock Rotations. Each Altera fiscal semi-annual
(i.e. six-month) period, Altera will accept one (1) Stock Rotation return from
Distributor for the purpose of clearing Distributor’s inventory of Product that
in Distributor’s reasonable judgment is unlikely to be sold. If Distributor does
not initiate a Stock Rotation return before the end of the applicable Altera
fiscal semi-annual period, that period’s allowance will be forfeited. Under this
provision, Distributor may return to Altera Product valued at up to five percent
(5%) of Altera’s net billings to Distributor for the Altera fiscal semi-annual
period prior to the Stock Rotation. A portion of such approved stock rotation
total dollar level, not to exceed five percent (5%) thereof, may be eligible to
be scrapped under the Altera scrap policies. As a precondition for accepting a
Stock Rotation, Altera may require that Distributor take delivery from Altera of
Product of value equal to or less than the value of the Product returned.

9.3 Obsolete and Discontinued Products. Altera may render obsolete or
discontinue the manufacture and/or sale of any Product (“Discontinued Product”)
and shall notify Distributor of any Discontinued Product. Distributor shall have
the right to return Discontinued Product to Altera to the extent purchased from
Altera within the twenty-four (24) months prior to the date of Product
discontinuation notice. Within thirty (30) days of the last order date,
Distributor shall notify Altera of Distributor’s intention to return any
Discontinued Product in its inventory which was purchased by Distributor from
Altera. Such notification shall include the Last Time Ship date for such
Discontinued Product. Distributor’s account will be credited by Altera in the
amount paid by Distributor for the returned Products after Altera receives the
Products and

verifies their quantity and quality. Debit claims for Discontinued Product
will be honored for six (6) months after the Last Time Ship date.

9.4 Administrative Procedures for Returns. Product returns to Altera
pursuant to subparagraphs 9.2, 9.3, and 14.5(c) as well as any other Product
returns to Altera are subject to the following provisions:

(a) Distributor must request and receive from Altera a Return Material
Authorization number for each return prior to shipping Product to Altera. Altera
will not unreasonably withhold Return Material Authorizations.

(b) Altera retains the right to review all line items prior to return and
approve or deny any item requested for return by Distributor. Altera will
establish and publish reasonable requirements for the approval of return line
items, and for the handling and packaging of Product to be returned, in order to
protect the quality of Altera Products and minimize the administrative expenses
associated with returns.

(c) Return Material Authorization numbers are valid for sixty (60) days from
the date of issuance to Distributor. If Distributor fails to return the Products
within that sixty (60) day period, Altera shall not be obligated to accept the
Products or to credit Distributor’s account for the Products.

9.5 Defective Products. Defective or non-conforming Products shall be
subject to the warranty provisions of paragraph 10 of this Agreement.

10. WARRANTIES

10.1 Altera’s Warranties to Distributor.

(a) Semiconductor Products and Other Hardware Products. Altera
warrants that the Products (other than Software Products and Development Kits)
(hereinafter “Semiconductor Products and Other Hardware Products”) covered by
this Agreement shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship and shall
materially conform to Altera’s published specifications (if any) under normal
use for a period of one (1) year from the date of invoice to Distributor’s
customer, but in no event more than two (2) years from the date of invoice to
Distributor. The foregoing warranty does not apply to any Semiconductor Products
and Other Hardware Products that have been subject to misuse (including static
discharge), improper installation, programming (unless the programming reveals
the defect) or repair, mishandling, neglect, accident or modification or which
have been soldered or altered and are not capable of being tested by Altera
under its normal test conditions, or whose identifying information has been
removed, obscured, altered or augmented. Altera’s sole obligation to Distributor
for Semiconductor Products and Other Hardware Products failing to meet this
warranty shall be to replace the defective or non-conforming Semiconductor
Products and Other Hardware Products or refund the applicable payments made by
the Distributor. This obligation is conditioned on all of the following: (1)
Distributor providing Altera with written notice of any nonconformity or defect
within the applicable warranty period, and (2) Distributor returning the
non-conforming or defective Semiconductor Products and Other Hardware Products
to Altera within thirty (30) days of receiving Altera’s written notification to
do so, and (3) Altera determining that the Semiconductor Product or Other
Hardware Product is non-conforming or defective and that such nonconformity or
defect is not a result of improper installation, repair or other misuse by
Distributor. Any replacement of Semiconductor Product or Other Hardware Product
by Altera shall carry only the unexpired term of the original warranty. This
warranty is limited to Distributor and is not transferable.

(b) Software Products.

Altera warrants that Software Products covered by this Agreement, when
properly installed and used, will perform substantially in accordance with
Altera’s current Software Products documentation for a period of ninety (90)
days from the date of delivery to Distributor’s customer. Altera warrants the
DVD on which Software Products are furnished to be free from defects in
materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of ninety (90) days from
the date of delivery to Distributor’s customer. The foregoing warranty does not
apply to any Software Products which have been damaged as a result of accident,
abuse, misuse, neglect, or modification. This warranty is limited to Distributor
and is not transferable.

During the ninety (90) day warranty period, (1) Altera will replace any
Software Product or DVD not meeting the foregoing warranty and which is returned
to Altera; or (2) if Altera is unable to deliver a replacement Software Product
which performs substantially in accordance with current Software Product
documentation or a DVD which is free of defects in materials or workmanship,
Distributor may return the Software Product for a credit in the amount paid by
Distributor. Any replacement Programs or DVD will be warranted for the remainder
of the original warranty period or

thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.

Altera warrants that Development Kits covered by this Agreement shall be free
from defects in materials and workmanship and shall materially conform to
Altera’s published specifications (if any) under normal use for a period of
ninety (90) days from the date of invoice to Distributor’s customer, but in no
event longer than one year from the delivery to Distributor. The foregoing
warranty does not apply to any Development Kits that have been subject to misuse
(including static discharge), improper installation, programming or repair,
mishandling, neglect, accident or modification or which have been soldered or
altered and are not capable of being tested by Altera under its normal test
conditions, or whose identifying information has been removed, obscured, altered
or augmented. Altera’s sole obligation to Distributor for Development Kits
failing to meet this warranty shall be to replace the defective or
non-conforming Development Kits or refund the applicable payments made by the
Distributor. This obligation is conditioned on all of the following: (1)
Distributor providing Altera with written notice of any nonconformity or defect
within the applicable warranty period, and (2) Distributor returning the
non-conforming or defective Development Kits to Altera within thirty (30) days
of receiving Altera’s written notification to do so, and (3) Altera determining
that the Development Kit is non-conforming or defective and that such
nonconformity or defect is not a result of improper installation, repair or
other misuse by Distributor. Any replacement of a Development Kit by Altera
shall carry only the unexpired term of the original warranty. This warranty is
limited to Distributor and is not transferable.

(d) THE WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN PARAGRAPH 10 OF THIS AGREEMENT ARE
THE ONLY WARRANTIES MADE BY ALTERA WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS. EXCEPT AS
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 10, ALTERA MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF QUALITY,

MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT.
THE WARRANTIES PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 10 MAY BE MODIFIED OR AMENDED BY ALTERA
ONLY BY WRITTEN INSTRUMENT SIGNED BY A DULY AUTHORIZED AGENT OF ALTERA.

10.2 Distributor Shall Make No Warranties. Distributor shall make no
representation, guarantee or warranty on Altera’s behalf to Distributor’s
customers with respect to the Products.

11. ALTERA’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

11.1 Trademark Use During Agreement. During the term of this
Agreement, Distributor is authorized by Altera to use the Trademarks in
connection with Distributor’s advertisement, promotion, and distribution of the
Products. Altera reserves the right to review and reject Distributor’s use of
Trademarks. Distributor shall not use the Trademarks, or any part thereof,
separately or in combination, as a part of or in connection with its firm,
trade, or corporate name. Distributor’s use of the Trademarks will be in
accordance with Altera’s policies in effect from time to time, including but not
limited to trademark usage and co-operative advertising policies.

11.2 Copyright, Patent, and Trademark Notices. As both a covenant by
Distributor and a condition of Altera’s sale or license of the Products to
Distributor, Distributor will include on each copy of the Products that it
distributes, and on all containers and storage media, all copyright, patent,
trademark, and other notices of proprietary rights included by Altera on the
Products. Distributor agrees not to alter, erase, deface, or overprint any such
notice on anything provided by Altera.

11.3 No Distributor Rights in Altera Intellectual Property Rights.
Distributor has paid no consideration for the use of Altera’s copyrights,
patents, trademarks, or trade secrets and nothing contained in this Agreement
shall give Distributor any interest in any of them. Distributor acknowledges
that Altera owns or holds a license to all copyrights, patents, trademarks, or
trade secrets related to the Products and agrees that it will not knowingly at
any time during or after this Agreement assert or claim any interest in or do
anything that may adversely affect the validity or enforceability of any
copyrights, patents, trademarks, or trade secrets owned by or licensed to Altera
(including, without limitation, any act, or assistance to act, which may
infringe or lead to the infringement of any copyrights, patents, trademarks, or
trade secrets related to the Products). Nothing in this subparagraph shall
prevent Distributor from challenging the validity of any trademark, copyright,
or patent. Distributor agrees not to attach any additional trademarks, logos, or
trade names to any Product. Distributor further agrees not to affix any of the
Trademarks to any product not manufactured or sold by Altera.

11.4 No Continuing Rights in Trademarks. Upon expiration or
termination of this Agreement, Distributor will immediately cease all display,
advertising and use of all Trademarks and will not thereafter use, advertise, or
display any name, mark or

logo which is, or any part of which is, similar to, or confusing with, any
Trademark or other name, mark, logo or designation associated with any Product.

11.5 Obligation to Protect Proprietary Information. Altera and
Distributor have entered into or shall in the future enter into a non-disclosure
agreement that shall set forth the parties’ obligations to protect proprietary
information.

11.6 Notification of Suspected Infringement. Distributor agrees to
notify Altera of any known or suspected infringement of Altera’s trademark,
trade secret, copyright, and patent rights that comes to Distributor’s
attention. Distributor also agrees not to induce, encourage, contribute to, or
support the infringement of Altera’s trademark, trade secret, copyright, and
patent rights or the breach of the Altera Program License Agreement by
Distributor’s customers or other third parties.

11.7 Patent Indemnity.

(a) Altera shall defend any suit, proceeding, or claim of infringement
asserted against Distributor insofar as such suit, proceeding, or claim of
infringement alleges that any Product manufactured and supplied by Altera to
Distributor infringes any duly issued patent, and Altera shall pay all damages
and costs finally awarded therein against Distributor, provided that Altera
promptly is informed and furnished a copy of each communication, notice or other
action relating to the alleged infringement and is given authority, information,
and assistance (at Altera’s expense) necessary to defend or settle said suit or
proceeding. Altera shall have the absolute right to control the defense and
settlement of any infringement suit or proceeding for which Distributor seeks
indemnification under this subparagraph. Altera shall not be obligated to defend
or be liable for costs and damages if the infringement arises out of (1)
Products that are manufactured by Altera in accordance with Distributor’s
specifications, or (2) the Products being combined with or added to another
product, or (3) the Products being modified after delivery to Distributor by
Altera, or (4) from use of the Products, or any part thereof, in the practice of
a process. Altera’s obligations hereunder shall not apply to any infringement
occurring after Distributor has received notice of such suit or proceeding
alleging the infringement unless Altera has given written permission for such
use by Distributor.

(b) If any Products manufactured and supplied by Altera to Distributor shall
be held to infringe any United States patent and Distributor shall be enjoined
from using the same, Altera will at its option and at its expense (1) procure
for Distributor the right to use such Products free of any liability for patent
infringement, or (2) replace such Products with non-infringing substitute
Products, or (3) refund the purchase price of such Products.

(c) If the infringement by Distributor is alleged prior to Altera’s
completion of delivery of the Products, Altera may decline to make further
shipments without being in breach of this Agreement.

(d) If any suit, proceeding, or claim of infringement is asserted against
Altera based on a claim that the goods manufactured by Altera in compliance with
Distributor’s specifications and supplied to Distributor directly infringe any
duly issued United States patent, then Distributor shall indemnify Altera to the
same extent as specified in subparagraph 11.7(a) of this Agreement. However,
Distributor shall not be obligated to indemnify Altera for specifications
developed solely by Distributor’s end customer.

(e) THE FOREGOING STATES THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY OF THE
PARTIES HERETO FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, IN REGARD THERETO.

12. SOFTWARE LICENSE. Altera grants and Distributor accepts a
non-exclusive license to use and sublicense Altera Software Products and other
copyrighted materials, including but not limited to printed materials, on the
following terms (the “License”):

title, copyright, patent and other proprietary rights to the Software Products
and all copies thereof.

12.2 Distributor may sublicense Altera Software Products to its customers for
use according to the terms of Altera’s end user license agreement, which is

customers must be made subject to the terms of the Altera Program License
Agreement. Any attempt by Distributor to sublicense Altera Software Products in
contravention of this Agreement shall be null and void.

of the use of Altera Products, or to train sales people in the use of Altera
Products, or to train customers in the use of Altera Products.

12.4 Distributor may use Altera Software Products to program other Altera
Products for Distributor’s customers. Distributor may not use Altera Software
Products to program non-Altera Products.

12.5 Distributor may use a single copy of any Software Product only on a
single computer or on a single network of workstations.

12.6 Distributor may make one copy of any Software Product that it has
installed on a single computer or single network of workstations at
Distributor’s place of business in any computer-

readable or printed form for back-up or archival purposes only and subject to
the terms of this Paragraph 12.

12.7 Distributor agrees not to disassemble, decompile, or otherwise reverse
engineer any Altera Software Product, nor may it make any copy thereof or apply
any techniques to derive the trade secrets embodied therein, except as
explicitly permitted by the national legislation implementing the EC Council
Directive of 14 May 1991 on the legal protection of computer programs. In
particular, Distributor agrees that it shall not be entitled for any purpose to
transmit any Software Product or to display any Software Product’s object code
on any computer screen or to make any hard copy memory dumps of any Software
Product’s object code. If Distributor believes it requires information related
to the interoperability of any of Altera Software Products with other programs,
Distributor shall not decompile or otherwise reverse engineer any of Altera
Software Products to obtain such information, and Distributor agrees to request
such information from Altera. Upon receiving such a request from Distributor,
Altera shall reasonably determine whether Distributor requires such information
for a legitimate purpose, and if so, Altera will provide such information to
Distributor within a reasonable time and on reasonable conditions. Other than as
explicitly permitted above, Distributor agrees that it will not apply any
techniques to ascertain trade secret information about any of the Products.
Distributor shall make any sublicense to Distributor’s customers subject to this
subparagraph.

12.8 Distributor agrees that it will not open any sealed Altera Software
Products that are intended for sublicensing, nor will it sublicense any unsealed
Altera Software Products. Distributor will not transfer, sublicense, or give
away any copy of an Altera Software Product that was previously installed on any
computer or single network of workstations at Distributor’s place of business.

12.9 The terms of this License shall govern with respect to Distributor’s use
of Altera Software products in the event that any such terms are inconsistent
with or omitted from the Altera Program License Agreement.

13. ASSIGNMENT

This Agreement shall not be assignable by either party without the prior
written approval of the other party. Except in the case of a corporate
reorganization, a change in the persons or entities who control fifty percent
(50%) or more of the equity securities or voting interest of a party shall be
considered an assignment of rights.

14. TERM AND TERMINATION

14.1 Term. This Agreement shall be in force until terminated in
accordance with subparagraph 14.2 or 14.3 of this Agreement.

14.2 Termination With Notice. At any time, either party may terminate

days prior written notice.

14.3 Termination For Cause. The Agreement may be terminated without
notice under the following circumstances:

(a) If either party is or becomes insolvent or admits its inability to pay
its debts as they become due, or makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or if there are initiated by or against either party proceedings in
bankruptcy or under insolvency laws or for reorganization, receivership or
dissolution, or if either party ceases to conduct its operations in the normal
course of business, the other party shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement effective immediately upon giving notice.

(b) Except in the case of a public offering of the equity securities of
either party, if a party shall have a greater than fifty percent (50%) change in
ownership, the other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with
thirty (30) days notice.

14.4 Waiver of Damages in Event of Termination. The right of
termination, as provided herein, is absolute. Both Altera and Distributor have
considered the possibility of expenditures necessary in preparing for
performance of this Agreement and the possible losses and damage incident to
each in the event of termination, and it is understood that neither party shall
be liable to the other for damages in any form by reason of the termination of
this Agreement at any time, other than as expressively provided in this
Agreement.

14.5 Procedures Upon Termination.

(a) Unfilled Orders. Upon termination of this Agreement, Altera may,
at its option, cancel any or all unfilled orders that were previously accepted
by Altera pursuant to subparagraph 5.2. Except in those circumstances governed
by subparagraph 5.6 of the Agreement, Altera agrees not to cancel orders which
are for Products intended for resale pursuant to firm orders (1) that have been
placed by a specific customer with Distributor and are scheduled for delivery
within ninety (90) days of the date

that notice of termination is given and (2) that Distributor, from among its
locations, does not have inventory stock to complete. Distributor shall notify
Altera in writing of such firm orders within thirty (30) days of the date that
notice of termination is given.

(b) Promotion. Upon termination of this Agreement, Distributor agrees
to discontinue immediately all activities as an Altera Distributor including,
without limitation, all use of the Trademarks and all advertising of or
reference to Altera Products, except as permitted pursuant to the disposition of
inventory of Products pursuant to subparagraph 14.5(c).

(c) Disposition of Inventory. In the event Altera terminates this
Agreement without cause pursuant to subparagraph 14.2 or Distributor terminates
on the grounds that Altera has breached the Agreement, Altera will repurchase
from Distributor at Distributor’s option any or all unsold non-discontinued and
non-obsolete Products in Distributor’s inventory at the price paid by
Distributor. Products returned under this provision are subject to subparagraph
9.1. In the event Distributor terminates this Agreement without cause or Altera
terminates with cause pursuant to subparagraph 14.3 above, Altera may, at its
option, repurchase from Distributor any or all unsold Altera Products in
Distributor’s inventory at the same price as set forth in the sentence
immediately preceding. The party terminating this Agreement shall pay all
transportation charges for Products returned to Altera.

15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

In no event shall either party be liable to the other party for indirect,
special, incidental, or consequential damages as a result of any claim or
liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement. Each party shall
indemnify the other party for any claims asserted by any third party arising out
of or relating to the indemnifying party’s breach of this Agreement, negligence,
or wrongful conduct.

16. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

It is expressly understood and agreed that the relationship between Altera
and Distributor under this Agreement is solely that of seller and buyer.
Distributor is an independent contractor and is in no way Altera’s legal
representative or agent. Distributor has no authority to assume or create any
obligation on behalf of Altera, express or implied, with respect to Products or
otherwise. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a
limitation or restriction upon Altera in the sale or other disposition of any
Product to any person, firm or corporation or in any territory or country.

claims shall be decided under the laws of the State of California, USA

Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be
brought in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California (or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, the courts of the State of
California, Santa Clara County) and each party hereby submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such action or proceeding.

18. WAIVER

Either party’s failure to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this
Agreement, or any right with respect thereto, or to exercise any option herein
provided, shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, rights
or options or in any way affect the validity of this Agreement. Either party’s
exercise of any of its rights hereunder or of any options hereunder under the
terms or covenants herein shall not preclude or prejudice either party from
thereafter exercising the same or any other right it may have under this
Agreement, irrespective of any previous action or proceeding taken by either
party.

closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the
transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to

government, the party so affected shall, upon prompt notice of such cause being
given to the other party, be excused from such performance or observance to the
extent of such prevention or during the period of such delay, provided that the
