Exhibit 3.4
Adopted as of December 13, 2001
Amended November 7, 2002
Amended and Restated February 20, 2003
CODE OF BY-LAWS
OF
ENDOCYTE, INC.
ARTICLE 1
Identification, Seal and Fiscal Year
     Section 1.01. Name. The name of the Corporation is Endocyte, Inc. (the “Corporation”). The Corporation is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “State”) and is subject to the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time (the “Act”).
     Section 1.02. Seal. The board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) may designate the design and cause the Corporation to obtain and use a corporate seal, but the failure of the Board to designate a seal or the absence of the impression of the corporate seal from any document does not affect in any way the validity or effect of the document.
     Section 1.03. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall end on the last day of December each year.
ARTICLE 2
Shares
     Section 2.01. Certificates for Shares. Each holder of the shares of the Corporation (together, the “Shareholders”) shall be entitled to a certificate in the form prescribed by the Board from time to time, signed by the President or the Vice-President, and the Secretary or Treasurer (or Assistant Secretary or Assistant Treasurer, if any) of the Corporation.
     Section 2.02. Transfer of Shares. The shares of the Corporation shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation upon delivery to the Corporation of the certificates representing the same properly endorsed by the registered holder or by his duly authorized attorney. The Board may adopt any requirements it sees fit to provide assurance of authenticity of endorsements, including requirements for a witness or signature guarantee by a financial institution, registered securities broker or dealer, or other party. Within a reasonable time after the transfer of shares without certificates, the Corporation shall send the Shareholder a written statement of the information required by Section 2.01 of these By-Laws.
     Section 2.03. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new certificate for shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued and alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, but the Board may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to furnish an affidavit as to the loss, theft or destruction and to give a

 


 

bond in such form and substance, and with such surety or sureties, with fixed or open penalty, as it may direct to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of the certificate. A new certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the Board, it is not imprudent to do so.
     Section 2.04. Issue and Consideration for Shares. The Board may authorize shares to be issued for consideration consisting of any tangible or intangible property or benefit to the Corporation, including cash, promissory notes, services performed, contracts for services to be performed, or other securities of the Corporation. The Corporation, through the Board, may but is not required to place in escrow shares issued for a contract for future services or benefits or a promissory note, or make other arrangements to restrict the transfer of the shares, and may but is not required to credit distributions in respect of the shares against their purchase price, until the services are performed, the note is paid, or the benefits received. If the services are not performed, the note is not paid, or the benefits are not received, the shares escrowed or restricted and the distributions credited may, at the discretion of the Board, be cancelled in whole or in part. The adequacy of the consideration is to be determined by the Board, and that determination is conclusive insofar as the adequacy of the shares relates to whether the shares are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. Once the Corporation receives the consideration for which the Board authorized the issuance of the shares, the shares are fully paid and nonassessable.
ARTICLE 3

Meeting by Telephone, etc. Any or all of the Shareholders may participate in a meeting by or through the use of any means of communication by which all Shareholders participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting.
