At any annual meeting of stockholders or any special meeting in lieu of annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), only such business shall be conducted, and only such proposals shall be acted upon, as shall have been properly brought before such Annual Meeting. To be considered as properly brought before an Annual Meeting, business must be: (a) specified in the notice of meeting, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by, or at the direction of, the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by any holder of record (both as of the time notice of such proposal is given by the stockholder as set forth below and as of the record date for the Annual Meeting in question) of any shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such Annual Meeting who complies with the requirements set forth in this Section.

 

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an Annual Meeting by a stockholder of record of any shares of voting stock entitled to vote at such Annual Meeting, such stockholder shall: (i) give timely notice as required by this Section to the Secretary of the Corporation and (ii) be present at such meeting, either in person or by a representative. A stockholder’s notice shall be timely if delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Corporation at its principal executive office not less than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the Corporation’s proxy statement released to stockholders in connection with the immediately preceding Annual Meeting (the “Anniversary Date”), provided, however, that in the event the Annual Meeting is scheduled to be held on a date more than 30 days before or after the Anniversary Date, a stockholder’s notice shall be timely if delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Corporation at its principal executive office not later than the close of business on the later of (A) the 75th day prior to the scheduled date of such Annual Meeting or (B) the 15th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such Annual Meeting is first made by the Corporation.

 

For purposes of these By-laws, “public announcement” shall mean: (i) disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service, (ii) a report or other document filed publicly with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including, without limitation, a Form 8-K), or (iii) a letter or report sent to stockholders of record of the Corporation at the time of the mailing of such letter or report.

 

A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter proposed to be brought before an Annual Meeting: (i) a brief description of the business the stockholder desires to bring before such Annual Meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at such Annual Meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s stock transfer books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the number of shares of the Corporation’s voting stock beneficially owned by the stockholder proposing such business, (iv) the names and addresses of the beneficial owners, if any, of any voting stock of the Corporation registered in such stockholder’s name on such books, and the class and number of shares of the Corporation’s voting stock beneficially owned by such beneficial owners, (v) the names and addresses of other stockholders known by the stockholder proposing such business to support such proposal, and the class and number of shares of the Corporation’s voting stock beneficially owned by such other stockholders, and (vi) any material interest of the stockholder proposing to bring such business before such meeting (or any other stockholders known to be supporting such proposal) in such proposal.

 

If the Board of Directors or a designated committee thereof determines that any stockholder proposal was not made in a timely fashion in accordance with the provisions of this Section or that the information provided in a stockholder’s notice does not satisfy the information requirements of this Section in any material respect, such proposal shall not be presented for action at the Annual Meeting in question. If neither the Board of Directors nor such committee makes a determination as to the validity of any stockholder proposal in the manner set forth above, the presiding officer of the Annual Meeting shall determine whether the stockholder proposal was made in accordance with the terms of this Section. If the presiding officer determines that any stockholder proposal was not made in a timely fashion in accordance with the provisions of this Section or that the information provided in a stockholder’s notice does not satisfy the information requirements of this Section in any material respect, such proposal shall not be presented for action at the Annual Meeting in question. If the Board of Directors, a designated committee thereof or the presiding officer determines that a stockholder proposal was made in accordance with the requirements of this Section, the presiding officer shall so declare at the Annual Meeting and ballots shall be provided for use at the meeting with respect to such proposal.

Nominations of candidates for election as directors of the Corporation at any Annual Meeting may be made only (a) by, or at the direction of, a majority of the Board of Directors or of a committee of the Board of Directors specifically authorized to make such nominations or (b) by any holder of record (both as of the time notice of such nomination is given by the stockholder as set forth below and as of the record date for the Annual Meeting in question) of any shares of the voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such Annual Meeting who complies with the timing, informational and other requirements set forth in this Section. Any stockholder who has complied with the timing, informational and other requirements set forth in this Section and who seeks to make such a nomination, or his, her or its representative, must be present in person at the Annual Meeting. Only persons nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section shall be eligible for election as directors at an Annual Meeting.

 

Nominations, other than those made by, or at the direction of, the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation as set forth in this Section. A stockholder’s notice shall be timely if delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Corporation at its principal executive office not less than 120 days prior to the Anniversary Date; provided, however, that in the event the Annual Meeting is scheduled to be held on a date more than 30 days before or after the Anniversary Date, a stockholder’s notice shall be timely if delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Corporation at its principal executive office not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 75th day prior to the scheduled date of such Annual Meeting or (ii) the 15th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such Annual Meeting is first made by the Corporation.

The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a Director of the Corporation. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall further set forth as to the stockholder giving such notice: (i) the names and addresses, as they appear on the Corporation’s stock transfer books, of such stockholder and of the beneficial owners (if any) of the Corporation’s voting stock registered in such stockholder’s name and the names and addresses of other stockholders known by such stockholder to be supporting such nominee(s), (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation’s voting stock which are held of record, beneficially owned or represented by proxy by such stockholder and by any other stockholders known by such stockholder to be supporting such nominee(s) on the record date for the Annual Meeting in question (if such date shall then have been made publicly available) and on the date of such stockholder’s notice, and (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by such stockholder.

If the Board of Directors or a designated committee thereof determines that any stockholder nomination was not made in accordance with the terms of this Section or that the information provided in a stockholder’s notice does not satisfy the information requirements of this Section in any material respect, then such nomination shall not be considered at the Annual Meeting in question. If neither the Board of Directors nor such committee makes a determination as to whether a nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the presiding officer of the Annual Meeting shall determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with such provisions. If the presiding officer determines that any stockholder nomination was not made in accordance with the terms of this Section or that the information provided in a stockholder’s notice does not satisfy the informational requirements of this Section in any material respect, then such nomination shall not be considered at the Annual Meeting in question. If the Board of Directors, a designated committee thereof or the presiding, officer determines that a nomination was made in accordance with the terms of this Section, the presiding officer shall so declare at the Annual Meeting and ballots shall be provided for use at the meeting with respect to such nominee.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the second sentence of the second paragraph of this Section, 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 directors or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 75 days prior to the Anniversary Date, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if such notice shall be delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Corporation at its principal executive office not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation of such increase.

 

No person shall be elected by the stockholders as a Director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section. Election of Directors at the Annual Meeting need not be by written ballot, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors or presiding officer at such Annual Meeting. If written ballots are to be used ballots bearing the names of all the persons who have been nominated for election as Directors at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the procedures set for this Section shall be provided for use at the Annual Meeting.

 

The number of directors which shall constitute the whole board shall be not less than three nor more than eight. The first board shall consist of three directors. Thereafter, within the limits above specified, the number of directors shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors or by the stockholders at the annual meeting. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article, and each director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified. Directors need not be stockholders.

 

Section 2. Vacancies. Any and all vacancies in the Board of Directors, however occurring, including, without limitation, by reason of an increase in size of the Board of Directors, or the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of a Director, shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any Director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of Directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such Director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. When the number of Directors is increased or decreased, the Board of Directors shall determine the class or classes to which the increased or decreased number of Directors shall be apportioned so as to maintain each class as nearly equal in number as possible; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director.

 

Section 3. The business of the corporation shall be managed by its board of directors which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the certificate of incorporation or by these by-laws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

At all meetings of the board a majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the board of directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the board of directors the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

 

Section 9. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee.
