ARTICLE 2
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

2.1.    Time and Place. The annual meeting and all special meetings of stockholders may be held at such time and place within or without the State of Delaware as stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by form of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Company’s principal executive office.

 

2.2.    Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders will be held on such day of such month of each year as determined by the Board of Directors or, if the Board of Directors fails to act, by the Chief Executive Officer. At the annual meeting the stockholders, voting as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or by law or in these Bylaws, will elect directors and will transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. The Company shall not be required to hold an annual meeting of stockholders provided that (a) the stockholders are permitted to act by written consent under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and these Bylaws, (b) the stockholders take action by written consent to elect directors and (c) the stockholders unanimously consent to such action or, if such consent is less than unanimous, all of the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are vacant and are filled by such action.

 

2.3.    Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders entitled to vote will be called at any time upon request of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer), or stockholder or stockholders holding 10% or more of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote who demand such special meeting by giving written notice of demand to the Chairman of the Board (if any), Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, or any other director specifying the purposes of the meeting.

 

[Certification of Bylaws]


 

 

If any person(s) other than the Board of Directors calls a special meeting, the request shall: (a) be in writing; (b) specify the time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted; and (c) be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by facsimile transmission to the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer) or the Secretary of the Company.

 

The officer(s) receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly given to the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 of these Bylaws, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting. No business may be transacted at such special meeting other than the business specified in such notice to stockholders. Nothing contained in this paragraph of Section 2.3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

 

2.4.    Notice. Written notice of the place, date, and hour of any annual or special meeting of stockholders, and the form of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, must be given personally or by mail to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat, at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Company, not less than ten nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting. Notice of any special meeting must state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, notice of meetings may also be given to stockholders by means of electronic transmission in accordance with applicable law. Any consent of a stockholder to receive notice by electronic transmission shall be deemed revoked if: (a) the Company is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Company in accordance with such consent; and (b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice. However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. An affidavit of the Secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company or of the transfer agent or any other agent of the Company that the notice has been given by personal delivery, by mail or by a form of confirmed electronic transmission, as applicable, shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

 

2.5.    Stockholder List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Company shall prepare, at least 10 days before a 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. The Company shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the Company’s principal executive office. In the event that the Company determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Company may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Company. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall 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. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

2.6.    Powers. Subject to the provisions of the DGCL and any limitations in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

 

2.7.    Quorum and Adjourned Meetings. The holders of a majority of all shares outstanding and entitled to vote, represented either in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders. In case a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairperson or the stockholders entitled to vote there at present in person or represented by proxy will have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented; provided, however, if the adjournment is for more than 30 days or if after the adjournment a new record date is set for the adjourned session, notice of any such adjourned session will be given in the manner heretofore described. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

2.8.    Voting. At each meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder having the right to vote will be entitled to vote in person or by proxy. Except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder of record will be entitled to one vote for each share of stock having voting power standing in his or her name on the books of the Company. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, all matters will be determined by vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present or represented at such meeting and entitled to vote voting on such questions.

 

2.9.    Conduct of Business. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the Chief Executive Officer, or in his or her absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairperson designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairperson chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of business.

 

2.10.    Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCI,

2.11.    Action by Written Consent of Stockholders. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action to be so taken, are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than 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 must be delivered (by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to the Company by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Company having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Every such written consent must bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent will be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Section 2.11, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Company as aforesaid. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent must, to the extent required by applicable law, be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing, and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Company.

 

ARTICLE 3

Thereafter such number will be fixed from time to time by action of the stockholders or the Board of Directors and may be increased or decreased by the stockholders or the directors. Each director will hold office until his or her successor has been elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office expires.

Except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be the act of the Board of Directors.

The notice need not state the purpose of the meeting, and may be given by mail, telephone, telegram, electronic transmission, or in person. If a meeting schedule is adopted by the Board of Directors, or if the date and time of a Board of Directors meeting has been announced at a previous meeting, no notice is required.

 

3.6.    Compensation. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. Directors and members of any committee of the Board of Directors will receive only such compensation therefor as may be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.

3.7.    Chairman of the Board. The Board of Directors may elect or appoint a Chairman of the Board who, if elected or appointed, shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors and of the stockholders and shall perform such other duties as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the Chairman of the Board shall not be deemed an officer of the Company under Section 142 of the DGCL.

 

3.8.    Committees of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, designate one or more committees, each to consist of one or more of the directors, each of which, to the extent provided in such resolution, will have and may exercise the authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business of the Company, and may authorize the seal of the Company to be affixed to all papers that may require it. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (a) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (b) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Company.
