SECTION 1.04 Directors and Officers.

(a) At the Effective Time, the names of each person who is to serve as an initial director of the Corporation until the first annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation and until their successor is elected and qualified, or until such director's earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal, are Keith Forman, Gerasimos (Jerry) Kalogiratos, Gurpal Grewal, Atsunori Kozuki, Rory Hussey, Abel Rasterhoff, Eleni Tsoukala and Dimitris P.

Section 5.1 Number. The Board of Directors shall consist of not fewer than three nor more than 11 directors, as fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors or by the shareholders; provided, however, that the number of directors shall not be reduced so as to shorten the term of any director at the time in office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more class or series of Preferred Shares shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the Corporation, the then authorized number of directors shall be increased by the number of directors to be elected, and the terms of the director or directors elected by such holders shall expire at the next annual meeting of shareholders. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 5.2 Nominations and Elections. Directors shall be nominated by the Board or a committee thereof (provided that such nomination shall be made in accordance with the Shareholders' Agreement so long as the Shareholders' Agreement remains in effect) or by shareholders pursuant to the bylaws of the Corporation (the "Bylaws")). Directors shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present by holders of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and

Cumulative voting, as defined in Section 71(2) of the BCA, shall not be used to elect directors.

Section 5.3 Term of Office.

Section 5.4 Removal. Subject to the terms and preferences of any Preferred Shares, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, only for cause, by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of the Corporation then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of a class or series of Preferred Shares, any director or directors elected by the holders of a class or series of Preferred Shares voting separately as a class may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders entitled to vote separately as a class in an election of such directors.

Section 5.5 Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to the terms and preferences of any Preferred Shares, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and vacancies occurring on the Board of Directors for any reason, whether because of death, resignation, disqualification or any other reason, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office (provided that the selection of the individual to fill

such vacancy shall be made in accordance with the Shareholders' Agreement so long as the Shareholders' Agreement remains in effect), although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. A director elected to fill a newly created directorship or a vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

Section 5.6 Shareholders' Agreement. Nothing in this Article V shall derogate from the rights and obligations of the Corporation and the Shareholder Group (as defined in the Shareholders' Agreement) under the Shareholders' Agreement. The power and authority of the Board of Directors and the Directors shall be subject to the provisions of the Shareholders' Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS

Section 6.1 No Personal Liability. A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the BCA as currently in effect or as the same may hereafter be amended. If the BCA is amended hereafter to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent authorized by the BCA, as so amended. An officer of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the BCA as currently in effect or as the same may hereafter be amended.

Section 6.2 Amendment or Repeal. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Article VI, or the adoption of any provision inconsistent with this Article VI, shall adversely affect any right or protection of a director for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification, repeal or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE VII

BYLAWS

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, adopt, alter, waive, amend, change or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.3 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII only:

(a) "affiliate" means a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, another person.

(b) "associate," when used to indicate a relationship with any person, means: (1) any corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity of which such person is a director, officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the owner of 20% or more of any class of voting stock; (2) any trust or other estate in which such person has at least a 20% beneficial interest or as to which such person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; and (3) any relative or spouse of such person, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same residence as such person.

(c) "business combination" when used in reference to the Corporation and any interested shareholder of the Corporation, means:

(1) any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation with (i) the interested shareholder, or (ii) any other corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity if the merger or consolidation is caused by the interested shareholder and as a result of such merger or consolidation this Article VIII is not applicable to the surviving entity;

(2) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions), except proportionately as a shareholder of the Corporation, to or with the interested shareholder, whether as part of a dissolution or otherwise, of assets of the Corporation or of any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which assets have an aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of either the aggregate market value of all the assets of the Corporation determined on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding shares of the Corporation;

(3) any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the Corporation or by any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation of any shares of the Corporation or stock of such subsidiary to the interested shareholder, except: (i) pursuant to the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into shares of the Corporation or stock of any such subsidiary which securities were outstanding prior to the time that the interested shareholder became such; (ii) pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made, or the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into shares of the Corporation or stock of any such subsidiary which security is distributed, pro rata, to all holders of a class or series of shares of the Corporation subsequent to the time the interested shareholder became such; (iii) pursuant to an exchange offer by the Corporation to purchase shares made on the same terms to all holders of said shares; or (iv) any issuance or transfer of shares by the Corporation; provided however, that in no case under items (ii)-(iv) above shall there be an increase in the interested shareholder's proportionate share of the shares of any class or series of the Corporation;

For the purpose of determining whether a person is an interested shareholder, the voting stock of the Corporation deemed to be outstanding shall include shares deemed to be owned by the person through application of the definition of "owner" below but shall not include any other unissued shares of the Corporation which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise.

Every reference in this Article VIII to a percentage of voting stock shall refer to such percentage of the votes of such voting stock.

Section 9.2 Renunciation of Certain Corporate Opportunities; No Duty to Refrain. Subject to Section 9.3 below, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for CMTC or any of its Affiliates (such Persons (as defined below) being referred to, collectively, as "Identified Persons" and, individually, as an "Identified Person") and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates. Subject to Section 9.3 below, to the fullest extent permitted by law, none of the Identified Persons shall have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (a) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage, or (b) otherwise competing with the

Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and, subject to Section 9.3 below, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. Subject to Section 9.3 below, in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty as a shareholder, director or officer of the Corporation solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person.

Section 9.3 Non-Renounced Opportunities. The Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity (a) offered to any Identified Person if (i) such opportunity is expressly offered to such Identified Person solely in their capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, (ii) such Identified Person believed that the Corporation possessed, or would reasonably be expected to be able to possess, the resources necessary to exploit such opportunity and (iii) the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is directly engaged in such business at the time such opportunity is offered to such Identified Person or (b) required to be offered to the Corporation pursuant to Section 3.7 of the Umbrella Agreement dated as November 13, 2023 among the Corporation (previously Capital Product Partners L.P.), CMTC and Capital GP. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9.2 of this Article IX shall not apply to any corporate opportunity covered by the preceding sentence of this Section 9.3.

Section 9.4 Certain Agreements and Transactions Permitted. No contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (or any amendment, modification or termination thereof) entered into between the Corporation and/or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and an Identified Person, on the other hand, before [•], 2024 (each, a "Preexisting Arrangement") shall be void or voidable or be considered unfair to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries solely because such Identified Person is a party thereto, or because any directors, officers or employees of such Identified Person were present at or participated in any meeting of the board of directors, or a committee thereof, of the Corporation, or the board of directors, or committee thereof, of any subsidiary of the Corporation, that authorized the contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (or any amendment, modification or termination thereof), or because his, her or their votes were counted for such purpose.

The Corporation may from time to time enter into and perform, and cause or permit any of its subsidiaries to enter into and perform, one or more contracts, agreements, arrangements or transactions (or amendments, modifications or supplements thereto) with an Identified Person. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (nor any such amendments, modifications or supplements), nor the performance thereof by the Corporation, any subsidiary of the Corporation or an Identified Person, shall be considered contrary to any fiduciary duty owed to the Corporation (or to any subsidiary of the Corporation, or to any stockholder of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) by any director or officer of the Corporation (or by any director or officer of any subsidiary of the Corporation) , so long as such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (or any such amendment, modification or supplement) (each, an "Applicable Arrangement"), in addition to any requirements under applicable law, is (i) approved by a majority of the members of a committee of the Board comprised solely of Independent Directors ("Special Approval"), (ii) approved by the vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares (excluding Common Shares owned by the Identified Persons), (iii) on terms no less favorable to the Corporation or its subsidiary, as applicable, than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iv) fair to the Corporation, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Corporation or its subsidiaries) (each Applicable Arrangement subject to clause (i), (ii). (iii) or (iv), an "Acceptable Applicable Arrangement"). The Identified Persons and the Board may but shall not be required in connection with any Applicable Arrangement to seek Special Approval thereof, and the Identified Persons or the Board, as the case may be, may also approve any Applicable Arrangement or adopt a course of action with respect thereto that has

not received Special Approval. If Special Approval is not sought and the Board determines that any Applicable Arrangement or course of action taken with respect to any Applicable Arrangement satisfies either of the standards set forth in clause (iii) or (iv) above, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Board acted in good faith and in a manner the Board reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and the Board members shall be deemed not to have breached their duties of loyalty to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective shareholders, and not to have derived an improper personal benefit therefrom, and in any proceeding brought by any shareholder or by or on behalf of such shareholder or any other shareholder or the Corporation challenging such approval, the person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no director or officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation who is an Identified Person shall have or be under any fiduciary duty to the Corporation (or to any subsidiary of the Corporation, or to any shareholder of the Corporation or any stockholder of its subsidiaries) to refrain from acting on behalf of the Corporation, any subsidiary of the Corporation or another Identified Person in respect of any Preexisting Arrangement or Acceptable Applicable Arrangement or performing any such arrangement in accordance with its terms and each such director or officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation who is an Identified Person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and shall be deemed not to have breached his or her duties of loyalty to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective shareholders or stockholders, and not to have derived an improper personal benefit therefrom.

Section 9.5 Definitions. For purposes of this Article IX:

(a) "Affiliate" means, (i) in respect of CMTC, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by CMTC, controls CMTC, or is under common control with CMTC and shall include any principal, member, director, partner, manager, stockholder, officer, employee or other representative, including any directors designated for nomination and election to the Board of Directors by the Shareholder Group pursuant to the Shareholders' Agreement, of any of the foregoing (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation), and (ii) in respect of the Corporation, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Corporation.

(b) "Person" shall mean any individual, corporation, general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, association or any other entity.

Section 9.6 Notice and Consent. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding 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 IX.

Section 9.7 Amendment of Article IX. No alteration, amendment or repeal of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, any provision of this Article IX will have any effect upon (a) any agreement between the Corporation or a subsidiary thereof and any Identified Person, that was entered into before the time of such alteration, amendment or repeal or adoption of any such inconsistent provision (the "Amendment Time"), or any transaction entered into in connection with the performance of any such agreement, whether such transaction is entered into before or after the Amendment Time, (b) any transaction entered into between the Corporation or a subsidiary thereof and any Identified Person, before the Amendment Time, (c) the allocation of any business opportunity between the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof and any Identified Person before the Amendment Time, or (d) any duty or obligation owed by any director or officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation (or the absence of any such duty or obligation) with respect to any potential business opportunity which such director or officer was offered, or of which such director or officer otherwise became aware, before the Amendment Time (regardless of whether any proceeding relating to any of the above is commenced before or after the Amendment Time).

Section 1.2 Special Meetings.

(a) A special meeting of shareholders (i) may be called at any time by the Board and (ii) shall be called by the secretary of the Corporation (the "Secretary"), subject to the limitation on the right of shareholders to call a special meeting of shareholders set out in the succeeding sentence of this Section 1.2(a), upon the receipt by the Secretary in accordance with an Acceptable Delivery Method of a written request (a "Special Meeting Request") by one or more shareholders (the "Requesting Shareholder") who own as of the date of the Secretary's receipt of the Special Meeting Request, shares of capital stock of the Corporation (each, a "share") representing at least 25% (the "Special Meeting Requisite Percentage") of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter or matters to be brought before such proposed special meeting; provided that a special meeting of shareholders requested by a Requesting Shareholder (a "Shareholder Requested Special Meeting") shall be called by the Secretary only if such Requesting Shareholder and such Requesting Shareholder's Special Meeting Request comply with the applicable provisions of this Article I, the Corporation's articles of incorporation (as amended or restated from time to time, the "Articles of Incorporation") and applicable law. The right of shareholders to call a special meeting of shareholders pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 1.2(a) is limited, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the calling of special meetings to vote on any matter or matters except for the election of Directors to the Board. Special meetings of shareholders shall be held at such date, time and (A) place within or without the Republic of the Marshall Islands as determined by the Corporation, and/or (B) if so determined by the Board, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by means of remote communication, in each case, as stated in the notice of the meeting.

(b) To be in proper form, a Special Meeting Request shall:

(i) bear the signature and the date of signature of the Requesting Shareholder and (A) in the case of any Requesting Shareholder that is a shareholder of record, set forth the name and address of such Requesting Shareholder as they appear in the Corporation's books, and (B) in the case of any Requesting Shareholder that is a beneficial owner, set forth the name and the valid and current address of such Requesting Shareholder;

(iv) include documentary evidence that such Requesting Shareholder(s) own in the aggregate not less than the Special Meeting Requisite Percentage as of the date of such Special Meeting Request; provided that, if any Requesting Shareholder is not the record holder of any shares representing the Special Meeting Requisite Percentage, then, to be valid, such Special Meeting Request must also include documentary evidence of such Requesting Shareholder's authority to execute the Special Meeting Request on behalf of one or more record holder(s); and

(v) include an agreement and acknowledgement signed by each Requesting Shareholder (A) to own the Special Meeting Requisite Percentage at all times between the date of the Secretary's receipt of the Special Meeting Request, on the one hand, and the date of the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting, on the other hand, (B) to notify the Corporation immediately in the case of any reduction in the shares owned by such Requesting Shareholder prior to the date of the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting, and (C) that the Special Meeting Request shall be deemed to be revoked (and any special meeting scheduled in response thereto may be canceled) if the shares owned by such Requesting Shareholder(s) do not represent ownership of at least the Special Meeting Requisite Percentage at all times between the date of the Secretary's receipt of the Special Meeting Request and the date of the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting.

(c) Each applicable person (including the Requesting Shareholder) shall update the Special Meeting Request delivered and information previously provided to the Corporation pursuant to this Section 1.2 and under any Representation and Agreement, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such Special Meeting Request shall continue to be true and correct (i) as of the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting and (ii) as of the date that is ten business days prior to the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), and such update shall be received by the Secretary in accordance with an Acceptable Delivery Method not later than five business days after the record date for such Shareholder Requested Special Meeting (in the case of an update required to be made as of the record date) and not later than eight business days prior to the date of such Shareholder Requested Special Meeting (in the case of an update required to be made as of the date that is ten business days prior to such Shareholder Requested Special Meeting or any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof).

(d) The obligation of a Requesting Shareholder or other applicable person to provide information or an update pursuant to this Section 1.2 and under any Representation and Agreement, as applicable, shall not limit the Corporation's rights with respect to any deficiencies in any Special Meeting Request or information provided by such person or enable or be deemed to permit such person to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by substituting or adding proposals.

(e) Any Requesting Shareholder may revoke his, her or its Special Meeting Request at any time by revocation received by the Secretary in accordance with an Acceptable Delivery Method. If, following such revocation (including any revocation resulting from a reduction in the shares owned by a Requesting Shareholder), there are outstanding unrevoked Special Meeting Requests from shareholders holding in the aggregate less than the Special Meeting Requisite Percentage, the Board may, in its discretion, to the extent permitted by applicable law, cancel the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting.

(f) In determining whether a Shareholder Requested Special Meeting has been requested by the holders of shares representing in the aggregate at least the Special Meeting Requisite Percentage, multiple Special Meeting Requests received by the Secretary will be considered together only if each such Special Meeting Request (i) identifies identical or substantially similar items to be acted on at the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting as determined in good faith by the Board and (ii) has been dated and received by the Secretary within 60 days of the earliest date of such Special Meeting Requests.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be required to convene a Shareholder Requested Special Meeting if:

(i) the Requesting Shareholder(s) have not complied with the requirements for calling a special meeting set forth in this Article I, the Articles of Incorporation or applicable law;

(ii) the Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for action by a shareholder under applicable law, rule or regulation; or

(iii) the Special Meeting Request was made in a manner that involved a violation of applicable law.

Section 1.3 Notice of Meetings. Whenever under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws or the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act (the "BCA") shareholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, written notice shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and, unless it is the annual meeting, indicate that it is being issued by or at the direction of the person or persons calling the meeting. Notice of a special meeting shall also state the purpose for which the meeting is called. A copy of the notice of any meeting shall be given personally or sent by mail or by electronic transmission, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, to each registered shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice is given when deposited in the mail, directed to the shareholder at its, his or her address as it appears on the record of shareholders, or, if the shareholder shall have filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a written request that notices to the shareholder be mailed to some other address, then directed to it, him or her at such other address. If sent by electronic transmission, notice given pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be deemed given when directed to a number or electronic mail address at which the shareholder has consented to receive notice. A shareholder otherwise entitled to notice may waive such notice in accordance with Section 6.3 and the BCA.

Section 1.4 Adjournments and Postponements.

(a) When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not be necessary, unless the meeting was adjourned for lack of a quorum, to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and at the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. However, if after the adjournment the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to notice. At the adjourned meeting of shareholders, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting of shareholders.

(b) Subject to applicable law, any meeting of shareholders, including any Shareholder Requested Special Meeting, may be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled by the Board at any time before such meeting has been convened.

(c) In no event shall any adjournment, recess or postponement of a shareholder meeting (whether or not already publicly noticed) or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder's notice pursuant to Section 1.12.

Section 1.5 Quorum. Quorum of meetings of shareholders shall be as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation (and if not so set forth, then as contained in the BCA).

Section 1.6 Conduct of Meetings; Organization.

(a) The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of each meeting of shareholders as it shall deem appropriate. If the Board determines that any requirement in these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation or any other applicable legal requirement has not been satisfied (including compliance with any Questionnaire or Representation and Agreement required under these Bylaws) as to any nomination or other business proposed to be brought before a meeting of shareholders, then the Board may elect to (i) waive such deficiency with respect to such proposed nomination or other business, (ii) notify the shareholder of, and provide the shareholder with an opportunity to cure, such deficiency, or (iii) decline to allow the proposed nomination or other business to be transacted at the meeting, even if the Corporation has received proxies or votes in respect of those matters (which proxies and votes shall also be disregarded).

(b) Meetings of shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairperson, or in the absence of the Chairperson, by any officer or Director designated by the Board. The Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary, an assistant secretary of the Corporation (an "Assistant Secretary"), shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary any person designated by the Board shall act as secretary of the meeting.

(c) The order of business at each such meeting shall be as determined by the presiding person of the meeting. Except to the extent inconsistent with any rules and regulations adopted by the Board with respect to the applicable meeting, the presiding person of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts and things as, in the judgement of such person, are necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of the meeting, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including, without limitation, (i) establishing procedures for the maintenance of order and safety, (ii) establishing limitations on the time allotted for questions or comments, (iii) establishing restrictions on entry to such meeting after the time prescribed for the commencement thereof, (iv) establishing limitations on attendance and participation at the meeting to shareholders of record, their duly authorized proxies and such other individuals as the presiding person of the meeting may determine, (v) establishing the opening and closing of the voting polls, for each item on which a vote is to be taken, (vi) determining and declaring that a matter, business or nomination was not properly brought before the meeting, (vii) removing any shareholder or any other individual who refuses to comply with meeting rules, regulations and procedures as set forth by the Board or the presiding person of the meeting, (viii) concluding the meeting or adjourning the meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, to a later date or time and to the same or some other place or by means of remote communication and (ix) restricting the use of audio/video recording devices and cell phones at the meeting.

(d) Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Board, the Chairperson, or the person presiding at the applicable meeting of shareholders (regardless of whether the Board has previously made a determination with respect to a particular proposed nomination or other business pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 1.6) shall have the power to (i) determine whether any proposed nomination or other business to be brought before the meeting was properly brought in accordance with the requirements set forth in these Bylaws (including in compliance with any Representation and Agreement required under these Bylaws) or the Articles of Incorporation, or in compliance with any other applicable legal requirement, and (ii) if any proposed nomination or other business was not properly brought, to declare that such proposed nomination or other business is defective. If the Board, the Chairperson, or the person presiding at the applicable meeting of shareholders should so determine and declare, the defective nomination or other business shall be disregarded, to the extent permitted by applicable law, even if the Corporation has received proxies or votes in respect of those matters (which proxies and votes shall also be disregarded).

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise required by applicable law, if (i) all Requesting Shareholder(s), in the case of a Shareholder Requested Special Meeting, or (ii) any Proposing Shareholder, as applicable, fails to appear or send a Qualified Representative to present the matters such shareholder requested or proposed to be presented at the applicable meeting of shareholders, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation need not present such matters for a vote at such meeting, even if the Corporation has received proxies or votes in respect of those matters (which proxies and votes shall also be disregarded).

Section 1.7 Inspectors. The Board, in advance of any shareholders' meeting, may appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If inspectors are not so appointed, the Chairperson may, and on the request of any shareholder entitled to vote thereat shall, appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person appointed fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the Chairperson. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting. The inspectors shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots, or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the results, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders entitled to vote thereat. Unless waived by vote of the shareholders, the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by them and execute a sworn certificate of any fact found by them. Any report or certificate made by them shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated and of the vote as certified by them.

Section 1.8 Voting; Proxies.

(a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law or provided in the Articles of Incorporation, each shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share held by such shareholder which has voting power upon the matter in question.

(b) Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder by proxy in the manner authorized by Section 69 of the BCA, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after 11 months 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, regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the shares themselves or an interest in the Corporation generally. A shareholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable.

(c) Directors shall be elected as provided in the Articles of Incorporation (or, if not so provided, as provided by the BCA).

(d) All other matters, unless a different vote is required by applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation (in which case such different vote shall be the applicable vote on the matter), shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon.

Section 1.9 Fixing Date for Determination of Shareholders of Record. For the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or dissent from any proposal without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of any rights, or for the purpose of any other action, the Board may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 15 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action.

Section 1.10 List of Shareholders Entitled to Vote. A list of registered shareholders as of the record date, certified by the corporate officer responsible for its preparation or by a transfer agent, shall be produced at any meeting of shareholders upon request of any shareholder at the meeting or prior thereto. If the right to vote at any meeting is challenged, the inspector of election, or the Chairperson, shall require such list of shareholders to be produced as evidence of the right of the persons challenged to vote at such meeting, and all persons who appear from such list to be shareholders entitled to vote thereat may vote at such meeting.

(f) Subject to the terms of the Shareholders' Agreement and Section 1.12(i) and Section 1.6, the obligation of a Proposing Shareholder, proposed nominee or other applicable person to provide information or an update pursuant to this Section 1.12 and under any Questionnaire or Representation and Agreement, as applicable, shall not limit the Corporation's rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice or information provided by such person, to extend any applicable deadlines under this Section 1.12 or enable or be deemed to permit such person to amend or update any

Shares

Section 5.1 Share Certificates and Uncertificated Shares.

(a) The shares shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of the Corporation's capital stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate theretofore issued until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Every holder of shares represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by or in the name of the Corporation by an officer(s) and/or a Director, however designated, representing the number of shares registered in certificate form owned by such holder. The signatures upon a certificate may be facsimiles if the certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent other than the Corporation itself or its employees. In case any person who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer or Director before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he/she were such officer or Director at the date of issue. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated shares and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing shares of the same class and series shall be identical.

(b) Each certificate representing shares issued by the Corporation (for so long as it is authorized to issue shares of more than one class) shall set forth upon the face or back of the certificate, or shall state that the Corporation will furnish to any shareholder upon request and without charge, a full statement of the designation, relative rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of each class authorized to be issued and, if the Corporation is authorized to issue any class of preferred shares in series, the designation, relative rights, preferences and limitations of each such series so far as the same have been fixed and the authority of the Board to designate and fix the relative rights, preferences and limitations of other series. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation or transfer agent shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required by law to be provided to such owner, including the information required by law to set forth or stated on certificates and a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each shareholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of shares or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

Section 5.2 Transfers of Shares. Shares represented by certificates of the Corporation shall be transferable on the record of shareholders upon presentation to the Corporation or a transfer agent of a certificate or certificates representing the shares requested to be transferred, with proper endorsement on the certificate or on a separate accompanying document, together with such evidence of the payment of transfer taxes and compliance with other provisions of law as the Corporation or its transfer agent may require. The transfer provisions of this Section 5.2 are not the exclusive method of transferring shares.

Section 5.3 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Share Certificates; Issuance of New Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new share certificate or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner's legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

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 shareholders, Directors or members of a committee of Directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice or waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Section 6.4 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of no contest, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

(b) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

(c) To the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in the defense of a claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

(d) Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 6.4 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(e) The rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which an indemnitee may be entitled, and, to the extent permitted by law, shall not be limited by the provisions of Section 60 of the BCA or any successor statute.

(f) The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in such capacity whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability by law or under the provisions of these Bylaws and the BCA.

(g) Any repeal or modification of this Section 6.4 shall not adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

Section 6.5 Amendment of Bylaws.

(a) By the Shareholders.

(b) By the Board. Subject to applicable law and the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws may be made, adopted, altered, waived, amended, changed or repealed, by the Board.

Section 6.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of these Bylaws is or becomes inconsistent with any provision of the Articles of Incorporation, the BCA, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation or any other applicable law, the provision of these Bylaws shall not be given any effect to the extent of such inconsistency but shall otherwise be given full force and effect.
