Meetings of the Board of Directors The Corporation shall call, and use its best efforts to have, regular meetings of the Board not less often than quarterly. The Corporation shall promptly pay all reasonable and appropriately documented travel expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by directors who are not employed by the Corporation in connection with attendance at meetings to transact the business of the Corporation or attendance at meetings of the Board or any committee thereof.
Meetings of Managers Meetings of the Managers may be held when called by any Managers or Manager. The Manager or Managers calling any meeting shall cause notice to be given of such meeting, including therein the time, date and place of such meeting, to each Manager at least two Business Days before such meeting. The business to be transacted at, or the purpose of, any meeting of the Managers shall be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of any such meeting. If fewer than all of the Managers are present in person, by telephone or by proxy, business transacted at any such meeting shall be confined to the business or purposes specifically stated in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
Meetings of Directors The directors may meet together for the conduct of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate their meetings as they think fit, and meetings of the directors held at regular intervals may be held at the place, at the time and on the notice, if any, as the directors may from time to time determine.
Special Meetings of Stockholders Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected only (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) provided that the special meeting has been called in accordance with paragraph (a) of Section 2.3 for the purpose of electing directors, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record both at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.11 and at the time of the special meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.11. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more individuals to the Board of Directors, any stockholder may nominate an individual or individuals (as the case may be) for election as a director as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice, containing the information required by paragraphs (a)(3) and (4) of this Section 2.11, is delivered to the secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement, if any, is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. The public announcement, if any, of a postponement or adjournment of a special meeting shall not commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
Meetings of the Committee a) The Committee shall meet at the request of one of the central parties.
Meetings of Committee The Safety and Health Committee shall hold meetings as requested by the Union or by the Employer and all unsafe, hazardous or dangerous conditions shall be taken up and dealt with at such meetings. Minutes of all Safety and Health Committee meetings shall be kept and copies of such minutes shall be sent to the Employer and the Union.
Meetings of the Board (a) The Board shall hold a regularly scheduled meeting at least once every calendar quarter at such place, date and time as the Board may designate. Special meetings of the Board may be called at any time by the Chairman. Special meetings of the Board shall be called at any time by the Chairman upon the written request of at least one Director to the Chairman, specifying the matters to be discussed.
(b) Notice of any meeting of the Board or any committee thereof stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be given to each Director by telephone, electronic mail or facsimile no less than seven days before the date of the meeting; provided, that the Chairman may reduce the advance notice period for any special meeting to no less than two days if the Chairman determines, acting reasonably and in good faith, that it is necessary or desirable to take action within a time period of less than seven days; and provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, if notice of any meeting of the Board is not given in accordance with this Section 5.03(b), then no business may be transacted at such meeting. Notice of any meeting may be waived by any Director on behalf of such Director. Presence at a meeting of the Board by a Director shall constitute waiver of any deficiency of notice of such meeting by such Director, unless such Director objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business at such meeting because such meeting was not called or convened in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) The secretary of the Company (the “Secretary”) shall circulate to each Director an agenda for each meeting of the Board not less than four days in advance of such meeting, or no less than two days in advance of any special meeting, if the Chairman has exercised his or her right pursuant to Section 5.03(b) to reduce the notice required for such meeting to no less than two days. Such agenda shall include any matters that any Director may reasonably request be included on such agenda.
(d) The presence in person or by proxy of a number of Directors equal to a majority of the total number of Directors on the Board at such time shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of business at any meeting of the Board, provided, that such quorum consists of not less than two MCK Directors and two Echo Directors. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, no business may be conducted at such meeting (the “Original Meeting”), and the Directors present shall adjourn the meeting and promptly give notice of when it will be reconvened, which shall not be more than thirty (30) days from the date of the meeting (the “Adjourned Meeting”). If a quorum is not present at the Adjourned Meeting and the sole reason for such lack of quorum was the absence of the Nominee Directors of the same party whose Nominee Directors’ absence was the sole cause of the Original Meeting being adjourned, then the Directors present at such Adjourned Meeting shall constitute a valid quorum.
(e) Directors may participate in any meeting of the Board or any committee thereof by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all Directors participating in such meeting may hear one another. Participation in any meeting of the Board pursuant to this Section 5.03(e) shall constitute presence in person at such meeting for purposes of Section 5.03(d) and shall constitute a waiver of any deficiency of notice of such meeting, unless such Director objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business at such meeting because such meeting was not called or convened in accordance with this Agreement.
(f) Each Director shall be entitled to cast one vote with respect to each matter brought before the Board (or any committee thereof of which such Director is a member) for approval. Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, the affirmative vote of Directors entitled to cast a majority of the votes that may be cast by the Directors in attendance at any meeting at which a quorum is present (whether in person or by proxy) shall be required to authorize any action by the Board and shall constitute the action of the Board for all purposes. No Director shall be disqualified from voting on any matter as to which the Member that designated such Director or any of its Affiliates may have an interest. Subject to Section 6.02(b), notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at Law or in equity, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, no Director shall have any duty to disclose to the Company or the Board confidential information of the Member that designated such Director or any of its Affiliates in such Director’s possession, even if such information is material and relevant to the Company and/or the Board, and in any case, such Director shall not be liable to the Company or the other Members or their respective Affiliates for breach of any duty (including the duty of loyalty or any other fiduciary duty) as a Director by reason of not disclosing such confidential information; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the Chief Executive Officer’s or any other employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries who is a Director’s responsibility to disclose to the Board information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries obtained as a result of the Chief Executive Officer or such employee serving in such capacity.
(g) The Secretary or, if he or she is not present, any individual whom the Chairman may appoint, shall keep minutes of each meeting of the Board, which shall reflect all actions taken by the Board thereat.
(h) The Board may establish other provisions and procedures relating to the governance of its meetings that are not in conflict with the terms of this Agreement.
(i) Each Director shall be entitled to receive all information (including without limitation, board minutes, board books and financial reports) that is made available to any Director in such Person’s capacity as such.
Meetings of Stockholders (a) Promptly after the date hereof, the Company will take all action necessary in accordance with Delaware Law and its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to convene the Company Stockholders' Meeting to be held as promptly as practicable, for the purpose of voting upon this Agreement. The Company will consult with Parent and use its commercially reasonable efforts to hold the Company Stockholders' Meeting on the same day as the Parent Stockholders' Meeting. Promptly after the date hereof, Parent will take all action necessary in accordance with Delaware Law and its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to convene the Parent Stockholders' Meeting to be held as promptly as practicable for the purpose of voting upon the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock by virtue of the Merger. Parent will consult with the Company and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to hold the Parent Stockholders' Meeting on the same day as the Company Stockholders' Meeting. Subject to Sections 5.2(c) and 5.2(d), Parent and the Company will each use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger and will take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of their respective stockholders or stockholders required by the rules of Nasdaq or Delaware Law and all other applicable legal requirements to obtain such approvals.
(b) Subject to Sections 5.2(c) and 5.2(d): (i) the Board of Directors of the Company shall recommend that the Company's stockholders vote in favor of and adopt this Agreement at the Company Stockholders' Meeting, and the Board of Directors of Parent shall recommend that Parent's stockholders vote in favor of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger at the Parent Stockholders' Meeting; (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Board of Directors of the Company has recommended that the Company's stockholders vote in favor of and adopt this Agreement at the Company Stockholders' Meeting, and a statement to the effect that the Board of Directors of Parent has recommended that Parent's stockholders vote in favor of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger at the Parent Stockholders' Meeting; and (iii) neither the Board of Directors of the Company, the Board of Directors of Parent, nor any committee of either shall withdraw, amend or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to the other party, the recommendations set forth in subsections 5.2(b)(i) or 5.2(b)(ii).
(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from withholding, withdrawing, amending or modifying its recommendation in favor of the Merger if (i) a Company Superior Offer (as defined below) is made to the Company and is not withdrawn, (ii) neither the Company nor any of its representatives shall have violated any of the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4(a), and (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that, in light of such Company Superior Offer, the withholding, withdrawal, amendment or modification of such recommendation is required in order for the Board of Directors of the Company to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the Company's stockholders under applicable law. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall limit the Company's obligation to hold and convene the Company Stockholders' Meeting (regardless of whether the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company shall have been withdrawn, amended or modified). For purposes of this Agreement, "COMPANY SUPERIOR OFFER" shall mean an unsolicited, bona fide written offer made by a third party to consummate any of the following transactions: (i) a merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization or similar transaction involving the Company, pursuant to which the stockholders of the Company immediately preceding such transaction hold less than 50% of the equity interest in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction; (ii) a sale or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets, or (iii) the acquisition by any person or group (including by way of a tender offer or an exchange offer or issuance by the Company), directly or indirectly, of beneficial ownership or a right to acquire beneficial ownership of shares representing in excess of 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, in each case on terms that the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment (after consultation with its financial advisor) to be more favorable to the Company stockholders from a financial point of view than the terms of the Merger; provided, however, that any such offer shall not be deemed to be a "COMPANY SUPERIOR OFFER" if any financing required to consummate the transaction contemplated by such offer is not committed and is not likely in the judgment of the Company's Board of Directors to be obtained by such third party on a timely basis.
Meetings of Holders No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held. The Property Trustee, however, shall call a meeting of Holders to vote on any matter upon the written request of the Holders of record of 25% of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities and the Administrators or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of Holders of Capital Securities to vote on any matters as to which Holders are entitled to vote. Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of Holders of the Capital Securities. If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders of record present, in person or by proxy, holding Capital Securities representing at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities held by the Holders present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders of Capital Securities, unless this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of affirmative votes.
Meetings of Members The annual meeting of the Members shall be held on (day/month) at the principal office of the Company or at such other time and place as the Members determine, for the purpose of transacting such business as may lawfully come before the meeting. If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a legal holiday, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day. The Members may by resolution prescribe the time and place for the holding of regular meetings and may provide that the adoption of such resolution shall constitute notice of such regular meetings. Special meetings of the Members, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by any Members (or such other number of Members as the Members from time to time may specify). Written or electronic notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than three days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, to each Member of record entitled to vote at such meeting. When all the Members of the Company are present at any meeting, or if those not present sign a written waiver of notice of such meeting, or subsequently ratify all the proceedings thereof, the transactions of such meeting shall be valid as if a meeting had been formally called and notice had been given. At any meeting of the Members, the presence of Members holding a majority of the Members’ Percentage Interests, as determined from the books of the Company, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of the general business of the Company. However, if any particular action by the Company shall require the vote or consent of some other number or percentage of Members pursuant to this Agreement, a quorum for the purpose of taking such action shall require such other number or percentage of Members. If a quorum is not present, the meeting may be adjourned from time to time without further notice, and if a quorum is present at the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. The Members present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Members to leave less a quorum. At all meetings of the Members, a Member may vote by proxy executed in writing by the Member or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact of the Member. Such proxy shall be filed with the Company before or at the time of the meeting. A Member of the Company who is present at a meeting of the Members at which action on any matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken, unless the dissent of such Member shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless such Member shall file a written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the meeting’s adjournment. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Member who voted in favor of such action. Unless otherwise provided by law, any action required to be taken at a meeting of the Members, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the Members, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the Members entitled to vote with respect to the subject. Members of the Company may participate in any meeting of the Members by means of conference telephone or similar communication if all persons participating in such meeting can hear one another for the entire discussion of the matters to be vote upon. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. (Check if Applicable)
