ARTICLE 5

 

1.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors.

 

2.

CLASSIFICATION, TERM. The directors shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. The term of one class shall expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders, the term of a second class shall expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders, and the term of a third class shall expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders beginning in 2003, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class. In no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. The number of directors in the class to be elected at an annual meeting of stockholders shall be determined by the Board of Directors prior to such meeting or, in the absence of such determination, by the stockholders at such meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes of preferred or preference stock issued by the corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by or pursuant to the applicable terms of this Certificate of Incorporation or of the certificate of designation or other instrument creating such class or series of preferred stock, and such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Section 2 unless expressly provided by such terms.

 

3.

VACANCY. In the event of a vacancy occurring in any class, the Board of Directors may reduce the number of directors in such class to eliminate the vacancy, but in no case may the number of directors in such class be less than one. In the event of a vacancy occurring in any class or a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in the number of directors in any class, the Board of Directors may fill such vacancy or newly created directorship for the remainder of the unexpired term by vote of the majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum. The directors of each class shall hold office for the term for which elected and until the successors to such class are elected, and nothing herein shall prevent any retiring director from being eligible for re-election.

  

 
 

 

  

4.

REMOVAL. The stockholders shall have the right to remove any directors upon the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Corporation, voting together as a single class.

 

5.

WRITTEN BALLOT. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation so provide.

 

6.

LIABILITY. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty by the director as a director; provided, however, that this Section 6 shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the extent provided by applicable law (a) for any breach of the duty of loyalty of the director to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for any unlawful action under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this Section 6 shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of the director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. If the laws of the State of Delaware are hereafter changed to permit further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of each director of the Corporation shall thereupon be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent then permitted by law.

 

7.

AMENDMENT OF THE BYLAWS. The Board of Directors shall have concurrent power with the stockholders to adopt, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may so adopt or change the Bylaws upon the affirmative vote of the number of directors which shall constitute, under the provisions of the Bylaws, the action of the Board of Directors. The stockholders may not so adopt or change the Bylaws except upon the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote, voting together as a single class.

 

8.

GENERAL PROVISIONS.

 

 

(a)

When considering a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, business combination or other transaction, the Board of Directors and any committee thereof, the directors and the officers of the Corporation may, in considering the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders, consider the interests of and the effects of such transaction upon the employees, customers and suppliers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and upon communities in which the Corporation and its subsidiaries are located or do business.

 

 
 

 

  

 

(b)

The Board of Directors may from time to time determine whether, to what extent, at what times and places and under what conditions and regulations the accounts, books and records of the Corporation, or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of the stockholders, and no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any account, book or document of the Corporation except as and to the extent expressly provided by law or expressly authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors.

 

 

(c)

In addition to the powers and authority herein or by law expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and any Bylaws adopted by the stockholders; provided, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the directors that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

 

 

(d)

No action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation except at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and the right of stockholders to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting is specifically denied. Unless otherwise specifically provided by law or this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a special meeting of shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary and shall be called by any such officer at the request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting.

 

ARTICLE 6

 

Subject to the provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation reserves the right to alter, amend or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law, and all rights of stockholders or others hereunder are subject to such reservation.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Kona Grill, Inc. has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be executed this 30th day of April, 2015.
