PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

CONCERTO SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In Thousands, Except Per Share Data)

 

1.    Basis of Preparation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K, Commission File No. 000-15578, that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2003. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the next quarter or the full fiscal year. On January 14, 2002 the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of CellIt, Inc. (“CellIt”), by merging a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into CellIt, with CellIt becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. CellIt’s assets and liabilities and results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

 

2.    Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

3.    Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates software revenue from licensing the rights to use its software products. The Company also generates service revenues from the sale of product maintenance contracts and implementation, education and consulting services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition and SOP No. 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect toCertain Transactions. Revenue from software license fees are generally recognized upon delivery provided that there are no significant post delivery obligations, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is probable. If acceptance is required beyond our standard published specifications, software license revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In Thousands, Except Per Share Data)

 

3.    Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

SOP 98-9 requires use of the residual method for recognition of revenues when vendor-specific objective evidence exists for undelivered elements but does not exist for the delivered elements of a multiple-element arrangement. In such circumstances, we defer the fair value of the undelivered elements and recognize, as revenue, the remaining value for the delivered elements.

 

Revenues for consulting, implementation and educational services are recognized over the period in which services are provided. Maintenance revenue is deferred at the time of software license shipment and is recognized ratably over the term of the support period, which is typically one year. Amounts collected prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are reflected as deferred revenue in our balance sheet.

 

4.    Stock-Based Compensation

 

At March 31, 2003, the Company has six stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations and adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock-based compensation plans under the fair value method as described in SFAS 123. In accordance with SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, the following tables illustrate the assumptions used and the effect on net income (loss) and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 for all employee stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in the pro forma disclosure are not likely to be representative of the effects on reported net income (loss) for future years. Additional awards in future years are anticipated.

 

5.    Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of dilutive common stock options using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:

5.    Earnings per share (continued)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, 3,929 and 3,766 common equivalent shares, respectively, were not included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as their effect would be antidilutive.

 

6.    Restructuring Costs

 

Cash payments related to the Company’s 2002 restructurings totaled $353 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The Company anticipates that the remaining restructuring accrual will be substantially paid by August 2007.

 

A summary of the restructuring accrual activity during the period is as follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and 2002

 

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased approximately $2.2 millions or 9.6%, to $25.6 million compared to the same period in 2002.

 

Product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased approximately $385,000, or 3.6%, to $11.0 million compared to the same period in 2002. The increase in product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is due primarily to the product revenue associated with the Company’s sales of EnsemblePro, which was released in December 2002 offset by a decrease in demand for the Company’s Unison, Ensemble and ContactPro products and a decrease in the product revenue contribution from our European operations. During the three month period ended March 31, 2003, EnsemblePro product revenue was approximately $2.1 million.

 

Cost of product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased approximately $613,000, or 30.4%, to $2.6 million compared to the same period in 2002. As a

percentage of product revenue, the cost of product revenue increased by 4.9% to 23.9% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 19.0% for the same period in 2002. The decrease in product gross margin was due primarily to the mix of products sold during the three month period ended March 31, 2003, as the Company’s EnsemblePro product has a higher cost of hardware components than the Company’s Unison and Ensemble products. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company resold third party software pursuant to an OEM relationship, which yielded a lower average overall gross margin than the Company’s proprietary products.

 

Service revenue for the first quarter of 2003 increased approximately $1.9 million, or 14.6%, to $14.6 million compared to the same period in 2002. The increase in service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was due primarily to increased implementation, professional services and educational services revenue combined with an increase in maintenance revenue as the Company’s customer base continues to grow.

 

Cost of service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased approximately $987,000, or 15.6%, to $7.3 million compared to the same period in 2002. As a percentage of service revenue, the cost of service revenue increased by 0.5% to 50.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The increase in service cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was due primarily to an increase in outside consulting services of approximately $641,000 and an increase in payroll-related expenses of approximately $170,000 as a result of the increases in revenue compared to the same period in 2002, combined with an increase in other related operating expenses of approximately $167,000.

 

Research, development and engineering expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased approximately $112,000, or 2.8%, to $4.0 million compared to the same period in 2002. The decrease in the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002 was primarily due to a decrease in overall occupancy charges allocated to research and development because of a reduction in the amount of office space utilized.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by approximately $286,000, or 2.6%, to $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. As a result of reduced headcount, the net decrease in SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was primarily due to a $479,000 decrease in payroll-related expenses and a $216,000 reduction in travel costs, offset by a $433,000 increase in commissions earned compared, which was a result of the revenue increase compared to the same period in 2002.

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded approximately $441,000 and $368,000, respectively, of amortization expense related to the purchased intangible assets from the acquisition of CellIt, Inc. in January 2002.

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(continued)

 

Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was derived primarily from the receipt of $225,000 from the sale of an investment, which the Company had previously written off its books and interest income from investments in commercial paper, corporate bonds, Eurodollar bonds, Federal Agency Issued Coupons, Taxable Auction Securities, Tax Advantage Auction Securities and similar financial instruments, net of investment fees. Other income increased 0.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.

 

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company provides for income taxes on an interim basis using its estimated annual effective income tax rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded income before income taxes of $642,000. As a result, during the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a provision of $167,000 for income taxes using a 26% effective tax rate. The effective tax rate of 26% is less than the combined statutory federal and state tax rates primarily as a result of the utilization of available net operating losses and tax credits.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of March 31, 2003, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity were its cash and cash equivalent balances of approximately $16.3 million, as well as its marketable securities of approximately $12.4 million. At December 31, 2002, the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances were approximately $19.3 million and its marketable securities were approximately $15.8 million. The overall decrease of approximately $6.4 million in the total cash and marketable securities balances was due primarily to the payment of $2.5 million related to the January 2003 settlement of litigation with Manufacturing Administration and Management Systems, Inc. (“MAMS”) and associated legal fees, the purchase of $1.3 million of capital equipment and the repurchase 262,200 shares of the Company’s common stock under its stock repurchase program for approximately $1.6 million.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was approximately $3.8 million compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2002. The increase in cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was due primarily to the payment of the above referenced MAMS settlement, payments of severance and leases in connection with the Company’s 2002 restructuring, lower customer deposits, a decrease in value added tax payable due to lower sales in Europe and the increased accounts receivable balance.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was approximately $2.2 million compared to approximately $7.6 million for the same period in 2002. The Company converted approximately $3.4 million of investments in marketable securities to cash equivalents during the first three months of 2003, compared to the approximately $19.1 million during the same period in 2002, of which the Company used $10.9 million for the acquisition of CellIt. Property and equipment purchases were approximately $1.3 million during

the first three months of 2003, compared to approximately $441,000 during the same period in 2002.

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was approximately $1.6 million compared to approximately $7.3 million for the same period in 2002. The Company used only $1.6 million of cash to repurchase 262,000 shares of its common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to using $5.7 million to repurchase 658,500 shares of its common stock for the same period in 2002. The Company also used approximately $2.0 million less for the service of long-term debt for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002, which was related to the assumption and retirement of debt associated with the CellIt merger. The Company received $313,000 less in proceeds for the sale of its common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.

 

The Company’s contractual obligations for future payments as of March 31, 2003 were composed of operating leases for the various office spaces leased by the Company and capital equipment leases. A summary of the amounts due under these leases is as follows:

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

 

ITEM 3:    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

 

Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments, and Derivative Commodity Instruments.

 

As of March 31, 2003, the Company did not participate in any derivative financial instruments or other financial and commodity instruments for which fair value disclosure would be required under SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. The Company’s investments are primarily short-term, Euro dollars bonds, corporate bonds, investment-grade commercial paper, tax advantaged auctioned securities, and money market accounts that are carried on the Company’s books at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Accordingly, the Company has no quantitative information concerning the market risk of participating in such investments.

 

As of March 31, 2003, the Company did not participate in any derivative financial instruments or other financial and commodity instruments for which fair value disclosure would be required under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.

 

Primary Market Risk Exposures.

 

The Company’s primary market risk exposures are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company’s investment portfolio of cash equivalent and marketable securities is subject to interest rate fluctuations, but the Company believes this risk is immaterial due to the short-term nature of these investments.

 

The Company’s exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations has been and is expected to continue to be insignificant since that the operations of its international subsidiaries are almost exclusively conducted in their respective local currencies. International subsidiary operating results are translated into U.S. dollars and consolidated for reporting purposes. The impact of currency exchange rate movements on intercompany transactions was $74,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Currently, the Company does not engage in foreign currency hedging activities

OF

 

CONCERTO SOFTWARE, INC. (the “Corporation”)

 

ARTICLE 1—Stockholders

 

1.1    Place of Meetings.    All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place within or without the State of Delaware as may be designated from time to time by the Chairman of the Board (if any), the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) or the President or, if not so designated, at the registered office of the Corporation.

 

1.2    Annual Meeting.    The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on a date to be fixed by the Chairman of the Board (if any), Board of Directors or the President (which date shall not be a legal holiday in the place where the meeting is to be held) at the time and place to be fixed by the Chairman of the Board, the Board of Directors or the President and stated in the notice of the meeting.

 

1.3    Special Meetings.    Special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board (if any), a majority of the Board of Directors or the President and shall be held at such place, on such date and at such time as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors or the person calling the meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

 

1.4    Notice of Meetings.    Except as otherwise provided by law, written notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notices of all meetings shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting. The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.

 

1.5    Voting List.    The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare, 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 metropolitan area of 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 of the meeting, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. This 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.

 

1.6    Quorum.    Except as otherwise provided by (i) law, (ii) the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as such may be amended from time to time, or (iii) these Amended and Restated By-Laws, as such may be amended from time to time (the “Restated By-laws”), the holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Shares held by brokers which such brokers are prohibited from voting (pursuant to their discretionary authority on behalf of beneficial owners of such shares who have not submitted a proxy with respect to such shares) on some or all of the matters before the stockholders, but which shares would otherwise be entitled to vote at the meeting (“Broker Non-Votes”) shall be counted, for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, both (a) toward the total voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation and (b) as being represented by proxy. If a quorum has been established for the purpose of conducting the meeting, a quorum shall be deemed to be present for the purpose of all votes to be conducted at such meeting, provided that where a separate vote by a class or classes, or series thereof, is required, a majority of the voting power of the shares of such class or classes, or series, present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, may adjourn the meeting to another place, date, or time.

 

1.7    Adjournments.    Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Restated By-Laws by the stockholders present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, although less than a quorum, or, if no stockholder is present, by any officer entitled to preside at or to act as Secretary of such meeting. It shall not be necessary to notify any stockholder of any adjournment of less than 30 days if the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which adjournment is taken, unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

1.8    Voting and Proxies.    At any meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote at such meeting held of record by such stockholder and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Restated By-laws), may vote or express such consent or dissent in person or may authorize another person or persons to vote or act for such stockholder by written proxy executed by such stockholder or his

 

-2-


 

or her authorized agent or by a transmission permitted by law and delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from the date of its execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this Section 1.8 may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

 

In the election of directors, voting shall be by written ballot, and for any other action, voting need not be by ballot.

 

The Corporation may, and to the extent required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at such meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at such meeting may, and to the extent required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, shall, appoint one or more inspectors to act at such meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.

 

1.9    Action at Meeting.    When a quorum is present at any meeting of stockholders, the holders of a majority of the stock present or represented and voting on a matter (or if there are two or more classes of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class, the holders of a majority of the stock of that class present or represented and voting on such matter) shall decide any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders at such meeting (other than the election of directors), except when a different vote is required by express provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Restated By-Laws. Any election of directors by the stockholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at such election, except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation. For the purposes of this paragraph, Broker Non-Votes represented at the meeting but not permitted to vote on a particular matter shall not be counted, with respect to the vote on such matter, in the number of (a) votes cast, (b) votes cast affirmatively, or (c) votes cast negatively.

 

1.10    Introduction of Business at Meetings.

 

A.    Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

 

(1)    Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided

 

 

-3-


 

for in this Section 1.10, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.10.

 

(2)    For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (A)(1) of this Section 1.10, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement delivered to stockholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if either (i) the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after the first anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting or (ii) no proxy statement was delivered to stockholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such annual meeting or the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and held of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.

 

(3)    Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 1.10 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least seventy (70) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (or, if the annual meeting is held more than thirty (30) days before or sixty (60) days after such

 

 

-4-


 

anniversary date, at least seventy (70) days prior to such annual meeting), a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 1.10 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

 

B.    Special Meetings of Stockholders.    Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice of the special meeting, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.10. If the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 1.10 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting nor later than the later of (x) the close of business on the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such special meeting or (y) the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of such special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

 

C.    General.

 

(1)    Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.10 shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.10. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Restated By-Laws, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.10 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance herewith, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

 

(2)    For purposes of this Section 1.10, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press, PR Newswire, Reuters or comparable national news service or in a

 

 

-5-


 

document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

(3)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein. Nothing in this Section 1.10 shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances.

 

1.11    Action without Meeting.    Stockholders of the Corporation may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Restated By-Laws, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes which all the stockholders would be entitled to cast at any annual election of directors shall be required to amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Section 1.11.

 

ARTICLE 2—Directors

 

2.1    General Powers.    The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors, who may exercise all of the powers of the Corporation except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation. In the event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, may exercise the powers of the full Board of Directors until the vacancy is filled. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board of Directors may:

 

  (a)   declare dividends from time to time in accordance with law;

 

  (b)   purchase or otherwise acquire any property, rights or privileges on such terms as it shall determine;

  (g)   adopt from time to time such insurance, retirement, and other benefit plans for directors, officers, employees, consultants and agents of the Corporation and its subsidiaries as it may determine; and

 

  (h)   adopt from time to time regulations, not inconsistent herewith, for the management of the Corporation’s business and affairs.

 

2.2    Number; Election and Qualification.     The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors, but in no event shall be less than two. The number of directors may be decreased at any time and from time to time by a majority of the directors then in office, but only to eliminate vacancies existing by reason of the death, resignation, removal or expiration of the term of one or more directors. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders (or, if so determined by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 1.10 hereof, at a special meeting of stockholders), by such stockholders as have the right to vote on such election. Directors need not be stockholders of the Corporation.

 

2.3    Terms in Office.    Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders.

 

2.4    Tenure.    Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained herein, each director shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

 

2.5    Vacancies.    Unless and until filled by the stockholders, any vacancy in the Board of Directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement thereof, may be filled by vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office, if any, and a director chosen to fill a position resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office until the next election of directors and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

 

2.6    Resignation.    Any director may resign by delivering his or her written resignation to the Corporation at its principal office or to the President or Secretary. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event.

 

-7-


 

2.7    Regular Meetings.    Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors; provided that any director who is absent when such a determination is made shall be given notice of the determination.

 

2.8    Special Meetings.    Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at any time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, designated in a call by the Chairman of the Board (if any), the President, two or more directors, or by one director in the event that there is only a single director in office.

 

2.9    Notice of Special Meetings.    Notice of any special meeting of directors shall be given to each director by the Secretary or by the officer or one of the directors calling the meeting. Notice shall be duly given to each director (i) by giving notice to such director in person or by telephone at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting, (ii) by sending a telegram or delivering written notice by facsimile transmission or by hand, to his or her last known business or home address at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting, or (iii) by mailing written notice to his or her last known business or home address at least 72 hours in advance of the meeting. A notice or waiver of notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not specify the purposes of the meeting.

 

2.10    Meetings by Telephone Conference Calls.    Directors or any members of any committee designated by the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee 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 by such means shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at such meeting.

 

2.11    Quorum.    A majority of the total number of the whole Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Board of Directors. In the event one or more of the directors shall be disqualified to vote at any meeting, then the required quorum shall be reduced by one for each such director so disqualified; provided, however, that in no case shall less than one-third (1/3) of the total number of the whole Board of Directors constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

 

2.12    Action at Meeting.    At any meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present, the vote of a majority of those present shall be sufficient to take any action, unless a different vote is specified by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Restated By-Laws.

 

2.13    Action by Written Consent.    Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent to such action in writing, and the written consents are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.

 

-8-


 

2.14    Removal.    Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any one or more or all of the directors may be removed (i) with cause only by the holders of at least a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors or (ii) without cause only by the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

 

2.15    Committees.    The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of such committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members of such committee 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 such meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors and subject to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority 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 papers which may require it. Each such committee shall keep minutes and make such reports as the Board of Directors may from time to time request. Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise determine or as provided herein, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the directors or in such rules, its business shall be conducted as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided in these Restated By-Laws for the Board of Directors. Adequate provisions shall be made for notice to members of all meeting of committees. Two-third (2/3) of the members of any committee shall constitute a quorum unless the committee shall consist of one (1) or two (2) members, in which event one (1) member shall constitute a quorum; and all matters shall be determined by a majority vote of the members present. Action may be taken by any committee without a meeting if all members thereof consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of the proceedings of such committee.

 

2.16    Compensation of Directors.    Directors may be paid such compensation for their services and such reimbursement for expenses of attendance at meetings as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations in any other capacity and receiving compensation for such service.

 

2.17    Amendments to Article.    Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Restated By-Laws, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a least seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes which all the stockholders would be entitled to cast at any annual election of directors shall be required to amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article 2.

The Board of Directors may appoint such other officers as it may deem appropriate.

 

3.2    Election.    The President, Treasurer and Secretary shall be elected annually by the Board of Directors at its first meeting following the annual meeting of stockholders. Other officers may be appointed by the Chief Executive Officer, except that the Directors shall have the power to rescind any such appointment by a vote of a majority of the Directors then in office.

 

3.3    Qualification.    No officer need be a stockholder. Any two or more offices may be held by the same person.

 

3.4    Tenure.    Except as otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Restated By-Laws, each officer shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified, unless a different term is specified in the vote choosing or appointing such officer, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

 

3.5    Resignation and Removal.    Any officer may resign by delivering his or her written resignation to the Chairman of the Board (if any), to the Board of Directors at a meeting thereof, to the Corporation at its principal office or to the President or Secretary. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event.

 

Any officer may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by either the President or by a vote of a majority of the entire number of directors then in office.

 

Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise determine, no officer who resigns or is removed shall have any right to any compensation as an officer for any period following his or her resignation or removal, or any right to damages on account of such removal, whether his or her compensation be by the month or by the year or otherwise, unless such compensation is expressly provided in a duly authorized written agreement with the Corporation.

 

3.6    Vacancies.    The Board of Directors may fill any vacancy occurring in any office for any reason and may, in its discretion, leave unfilled for such period as it may determine any offices other than those of President, Treasurer and Secretary. Each such successor shall hold office for the unexpired term of his predecessor and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

If the Board of Directors appoints a Vice-Chairman of the Board, he or she shall, in the absence or disability of the Chairman of the Board, perform the duties and exercise the powers of the Chairman of the Board and shall perform such other duties and possess such other powers as may from time to time be designated by the Board of Directors.

 

3.8    President.    The President shall, subject to the direction of the Board of Directors, have general charge and supervision of the business of the Corporation.

ARTICLE 4—Indemnification

 

4.1    Actions, Suits and Proceedings Other than by or in the Right of the Corporation.    The Corporation shall indemnify each 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 is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being referred to hereafter as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on

 

-12-


his behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he 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 his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere 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 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 conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, except as set forth in Section 4.6 below, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

4.2.    Actions or Suits by or in the Right of the Corporation.    The Corporation shall indemnify any Indemnitee 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 a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, 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 to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which the Court of Chancery of Delaware or such other court shall deem proper.

 

4.3    Indemnification for Expenses of Successful Party.    Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such action, suit or proceeding, he shall be indemnified against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, if any action, suit or proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to the Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that the Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the

 

-13-


Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, the Indemnitee shall be considered for the purpose hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto.

 

4.4    Notification and Defense of Claim.    As a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee must notify the Corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving him for which indemnity will or could be sought. With respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the Corporation shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such claim, other than as provided below in this Section 4.4. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel in connection with such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the Corporation and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Article. The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of the Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for the Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above.

 

4.5    Advance of Expenses.    Subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 below, in the event that the Corporation does not assume the defense pursuant to Section 4.4 of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation receives notice under this Article, any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter, provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article. Such undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of such person to make such repayment.

 

-14-


 

4.6    Procedure for Indemnification.    In order to obtain indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.5, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including in such request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses. Any such indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of the Indemnitee, unless with respect to requests under Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.5 the Corporation determines, by clear and convincing evidence, within such 60-day period that the Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 4.1 or 4.2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made in each instance by (a) a majority vote of the directors of the Corporation who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question (“Disinterested Directors”), even though less than a quorum, (b) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum, (c) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, or if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel (who may be regular legal counsel to the corporation) in a written opinion, (d) a majority vote of a quorum of the outstanding shares of stock of all classes entitled to vote for directors, voting as a single class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question, or (e) a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

4.7    Remedies.    The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or if no disposition thereof is made within the 60-day period referred to above in Section 4.6. Unless otherwise provided by law, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation pursuant to Section 4.6 that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The Indemnitee’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

 

4.8    Subsequent Amendment.    No amendment, termination or repeal of this Article or of the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable laws shall affect or diminish in any way the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such amendment, termination or repeal.

 

-15-


 

4.9    Other Rights.    The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement or vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding office for the Corporation, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee. Nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to prohibit, and the Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into, agreements with officers and directors providing indemnification rights and procedures different from those set forth in this Article. In addition, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by its Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to other employees or agents of the Corporation or other persons serving the Corporation and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those set forth in this Article.

 

4.10    Partial Indemnification.    If an Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Article to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which the Indemnitee is entitled.

 

4.11    Insurance.    The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) against any expense, liability or loss incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

4.12    Merger or Consolidation.    If the Corporation is merged into or consolidated with another corporation and the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, the surviving corporation shall assume the obligations of the Corporation under this Article with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the date of such merger or consolidation.

 

4.13    Savings Clause.    If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to any expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any action, suit,

 

-16-


proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by an applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

4.14    Definitions.    Terms used herein and defined in Section 145(h) and Section 145(i) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in such Section 145(h) and Section 145(i).

 

4.15    Subsequent Legislation.    If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is amended after adoption of this Article to expand further the indemnification permitted to Indemnitees, then the Corporation shall indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as so amended.

 

ARTICLE 5—Capital Stock

 

5.1    Issuance of Stock.    Unless otherwise voted by the stockholders and subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the whole or any part of any unissued balance of the authorized capital stock of the Corporation or the whole or any part of any issued, authorized capital stock of the Corporation held in its treasury may be issued, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by vote of the Board of Directors in such manner, for such consideration and on such terms as the Board of Directors may determine.

Except as may be otherwise required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Restated By-Laws, the

 

-17-


Corporation shall be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the owner of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right to vote with respect to such stock, regardless of any transfer, pledge or other disposition of such stock, until the shares have been transferred on the books of the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of these Restated By-Laws.

Such record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action to which such record date relates.

 

If no record date is fixed, 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 before the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day before the day on which the meeting is held. The record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting (to the extent permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation and these Restated By-laws) when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. 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 to such purpose.

 

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.

  (1)   The material facts as to his or her 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 or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum;
