Annual Meetings of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of any proper business shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and at such time and date as the Board of Directors by resolution shall determine and as set forth in the notice of the meeting.

When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock outstanding and having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of a statute or of the Certificate of Incorporation a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. Section 2.03. Quorum. At all meetings of stockholders, except as otherwise required by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereat shall be requisite for, and shall constitute a quorum for, the transaction of business. In case a quorum shall not be present at any meeting, a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until the requisite amount of shares entitled to vote shall be present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which the requisite amount of shares entitled to vote shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
