When a quorum is present at any meeting of Stockholders, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before the meeting, unless the question is one upon which a different percentage of the vote is required by express provision of the applicable Delaware statutes, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. The Stockholders present at a meeting constituted in accordance with these Bylaws may continue to transact business until adjournment, even if Stockholders leave the meeting and the Stockholders remaining are less than a quorum.

person, or by proxy appointed by a written document signed by the Stockholder, on a date not more than eleven months prior to voting, unless the written document provides for a longer period, and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation at the time of, the meeting.

If the written proxy designates two or more persons to act as proxies, unless the instrument provides to the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then the powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise the proxy’s powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies in attendance. Each Stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock having voting power registered in his name on the books of the Corporation.

No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. If no date is stated in a proxy, the proxy shall be presumed to have been executed on the date of the meeting at which it is first to be voted. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power or unless otherwise made irrevocable by law.

Shares standing in the name of a deceased person may be voted by the executor or administrator of the deceased person, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of a guardian, conservator or trustee may be voted by such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy, but no such fiduciary shall be entitled to vote shares held in that fiduciary capacity without a transfer of the shares into the name of the fiduciary. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by the receiver. A Stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote those shares, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation he has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote the shares, in which case only the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent the shares and vote them.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

(b) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, manager or officer of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or

(c) To the extent that a present or former Director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 10.1, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 10.1 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former Director or officer is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 10.1. This determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a Director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the Directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such Directors designated by majority vote of such Directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such Directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the Stockholders.

Section 10.2 Advances for Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or Director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former Directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate

Section 10.3 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise.

Annex 1

Section 10.4 Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 10.5 Savings Clause. If all or any part of Article X is invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisidiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each current, former or proposed Director and officer of the Corporation, as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article X that is invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
