1

 

whether given in writing, orally, or by attendance. Attendance by a stockholder at a meeting is a waiver of notice of that meeting, except where the stockholder objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or objects before a vote on an item of business because the item may not lawfully be considered at that meeting and does not participate in the consideration of the item at that meeting.
Section 2.8

At least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, the officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address 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 ten days prior to the meeting.

Section 2.9
Record Date. The board of directors may fix a date not more than 60 days before the date of a meeting of stockholders as the date for the determination of the holders of voting shares entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting. When a date is so fixed, only stockholders on that date are entitled to notice and permitted to vote at that meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.10
Certification of Beneficial Owner. A resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present may establish a procedure whereby a stockholder may certify in writing to the corporation that all or a portion of the shares registered in the name of the stockholder are held for the account of one or more beneficial owners. Upon receipt by the corporation of the writing, the persons specified as beneficial owners, rather than the actual stockholder, are deemed the stockholders for the purposes specified in the writing.
Section 2.11
Quorum. The holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting present in person or by proxy at the meeting are a quorum for the transaction of business, unless a larger or smaller proportion or number is provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. If a quorum is present when a duly called or held meeting is convened, the stockholders present may continue to transact business until adjournment, even though the withdrawal of a number of stockholders originally present leaves less than the proportion or number otherwise required for a quorum.
Section 2.12
Adjourned Meetings. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting may be adjourned from time to time. If any meeting of the stockholders is adjourned to another time or place, no notice of the date, time, and place of such adjourned meeting need be given other than by announcement at the time of adjournment.
Section 2.13

Section 2.17

Section 2.18
Proxies. A stockholder may cast or authorize the casting of a vote by filing a written appointment of a proxy with an officer of the corporation at or before the meeting at which the appointment is to be effective. An appointment of a proxy for shares held jointly by two or more stockholders is valid if signed by any one of them, unless the corporation receives from any one of those stockholders written notice either denying the authority of that person to appoint a proxy or appointing a different proxy.
Section 2.19
Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of stockholders may, except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of record of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the corporation having the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and the writing or writings are filed with the permanent records of the corporation. Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing; provided, however, that failure to provide such notice shall not invalidate such corporate action otherwise validly taken by the stockholders.
Article III

DIRECTORS
Section 3.1
Number and Election. The board of directors shall consist of not less than one director; the board of directors may by resolution fix a greater number, subject to change by vote of the stockholders. The board may appoint persons to serve in additional director seats subject to re-election by the stockholders. The number of directors may be modified by the stockholders who shall, at each regular meeting, fix the number of directors and elect the number so fixed. Except as provided in Section 3.2, each director shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualifies or until his or her earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Directors shall be natural persons but need not be stockholders.
Section 3.2
Vacancies and New Directorships. Unless different rules for filling vacancies are provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies on the board of directors resulting from the death, disqualification, resignation, or removal of a director may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even though less than a quorum, and vacancies on the board of directors resulting from newly created directorships may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors serving at the time of the increase. Each director elected to fill a vacancy holds office until a qualified successor is elected by the stockholders at the next regular meeting or special meeting of the stockholders.
Section 3.3
Powers. Except as otherwise provided by a stockholder agreement or Section 2.17, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a board of directors, which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the laws of the state of Delaware directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
Section 3.4
Time and Place of Meetings. Meetings of the board of directors may be held from time to time at any place, within or without the state of Delaware, that the board of directors may select or by any means described in Section 3.5.

Section 3.5
Electronic Meetings. A conference among directors by any means of communication through which the directors may simultaneously hear each other during the conference constitutes a board meeting, if the same notice is given of the conference as would be required by Section 3.6 for a meeting, and if the number of directors participating in the conference would be sufficient to constitute a quorum at a meeting. Participation in a meeting by that means constitutes presence in person at the meeting. A director may participate in a board meeting

3

 

not described above by any means of communication through which the director, other directors so participating, and all directors physically present at the meeting may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. Participation in a meeting by that means constitutes presence in person at the meeting.
Section 3.6
Meetings. Meetings of the board of directors may be called by a director or by the chief executive officer of the corporation on ten days’ notice to all directors, of the date, time and place of the meeting. The notice need not state the purpose of the meeting. If the date, time, and place of a board meeting have been announced at a previous meeting of the board of directors, no notice is required.
Section 3.7
Quorum. A majority, or a larger or smaller proportion or number provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, of the directors currently holding office present at a meeting is a quorum for the transaction of business.
Section 3.8
Adjourned Meetings. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting may be adjourned from time to time. If any meeting of the board of directors is adjourned to another time or place, no notice of such adjourned meeting need be given other than by announcement at the time of adjournment.
Section 3.9
Board of Directors Action. The board of directors shall take action by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors present at a duly held meeting, except where the affirmative vote of a larger proportion or number is required by the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the laws of the state of Delaware. If the Certificate of Incorporation requires a larger proportion or number than is required by the laws of the state of Delaware for a particular action, the Certificate of Incorporation shall control.
Section 3.10
Waiver of Notice. A director may waive notice of a meeting of the board of directors. A waiver of notice by a director entitled to notice is effective whether given before, at, or after the meeting, and whether given in writing, orally, or by attendance. Attendance by a director at a meeting is a waiver of notice of that meeting, except where the director objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and does not participate thereafter in the meeting.
Section 3.11
Absent Directors. A director may give advance written consent or opposition to a proposal to be acted on at a board meeting. If the director is not present at the meeting, consent or opposition to a proposal does not constitute presence for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, but consent or opposition shall be counted as a vote in favor of or against the proposal and shall be entered in the minutes or other record of action at the meeting, if the proposal acted on at the meeting is substantially the same or has substantially the same effect as the proposal to which the director has consented or objected.
Section 3.12
Committees. A resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire board of directors may establish committees having the authority of the board of directors in the management of the business of the corporation to the extent provided in the resolution. Committee members shall be natural persons. Unless the Certificate of Incorporation provides for a different membership, a committee shall consist of one or more persons, who need not be directors, appointed by affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present. A majority of the members of the committee present at a meeting is a quorum for the transaction of business, unless a larger or smaller proportion or number is provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or in a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present. Minutes, if any, of committee meetings shall be made available upon request to members of the committee and to any director.
Section 3.13
Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors may be taken without a meeting if all of the members of the board of directors consent thereto in writing, or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board of directors.
Section 3.14
Fees and Expenses. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid such compensation for their services as a director as the board of directors may fix from time to time. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any

4

 

other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Committee members shall also be paid their expenses, if any, and be compensated as the board of directors may determine for attending committee meetings.
