Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the corporation shall be required to indemnify, or advance expenses to, an Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnitee was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation.

          (a) No Action by Written Consent. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of this certificate of incorporation or any resolution or resolutions of the board of directors providing for the issuance of any series of stock having a preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the corporation may be effected only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
