II. MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
2.1 Place of Meetings
Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place, within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the board of directors.
The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
If authorized by the board of directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the board of
directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication, participate in a meeting of stockholders, be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of
stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (i) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to
vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (ii) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting
and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other
action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.
2.2 Annual Meeting
The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated by the board of directors. In the
absence of such designation, the annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on the third Monday in April in each year at 1:00 p.m. However, if such day falls on a legal holiday, then the meeting shall be held at the same time and place on the
next succeeding full business day. At the meeting, directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be transacted.
2.3 Special Meeting
Special meetings of the stockholders may be called, at any time for any purpose or purposes, by the board of directors or by such
person or persons as may be authorized by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, or by such person or persons duly designated by the board of directors whose powers and authority, as expressly provided in a resolution of the board of
directors, include the power to call such meetings, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons.
2.4 Notice of Stockholders' Meetings
(a) Except to the extent otherwise required by law, all notices of meetings with stockholders shall be in writing and shall
be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 2.5 of these bylaws not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the
place, if any, date, and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or
purposes for which the meeting is called.
(b) Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders
given by the corporation shall also be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the
corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent, and (ii) such inability becomes known
to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to recognize such revocation shall not invalidate any
meeting or other action.
(c) Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders
given by the corporation shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the
stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the corporation, within sixty (60) days of having been given written notice by the corporation of its intention to send the single notice
permitted under this subsection 2.4(c), shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.
(d) Sections 2.4(b) and (c) shall not apply to any notice given to stockholders under Sections 164 (notice of sale of shares
of stockholder who failed to pay an installment or call on stock not fully paid), 296 (notice of disputed claims relating to insolvent corporations), 311 (notice of meeting of stockholders to revoke dissolution of corporation), 312 (notice of
meeting of stockholders of corporation whose certificate of incorporation has been renewed or revived) and 324 (notice when stock has been attached as required for sale upon execution process) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
2.5 Manner of Giving Notice; Affidavit
of Notice
(a) Written notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his, her or its address as it appears on the records of the corporation. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice
has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
(b) Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed
to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network
together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of such posting and the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. An
affidavit of the secretary, an assistant secretary or the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts
stated therein.
2.6 Quorum
The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of
the stockholders, then the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is
present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.
2.7 Adjourned Meeting; Notice
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned
meeting if the time and place thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for
the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
2.8 Voting
The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11
of these bylaws, subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock and to voting trusts and other voting agreements).
Except as otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of
capital stock held by such stockholder.
2.9 Waiver of Notice
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or of the certificate of
incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent
to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business
because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver or any waiver by electronic
transmission of notice unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
2.10 Stockholder Action by Written
Consent Without a Meeting
Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required by the General Corporation Law of Delaware to be
taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of a corporation, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent
in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to
vote thereon were present and voted. A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder, proxyholder or other person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or
proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this Section 2.10, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation
can determine (a) that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder, proxyholder or other authorized person or persons, and (b) the date on which such stockholder, proxyholder or other authorized
person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent
given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall have been delivered to the corporation by delivery to its
registered office in this State, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered
office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on delivery, consents given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission may be otherwise delivered to
the principal place of business of the corporation or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded, to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of
the board of directors of the corporation. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be
used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.
Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have
not consented in writing. If the action that is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any section of the General Corporation Law of Delaware if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting
thereof, then the certificate filed under such section shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any vote of stockholders, that written notice and written consent have been given as provided in Section 228 of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware.
2.11 Record Date for Stockholder Notice;
Voting; Giving Consents
In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any
adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect
of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date that shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such
meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.
If the board of directors does not so fix a record date:
(a) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the
close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held;
(b) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting,
when no prior action by the board of directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed; and
(c) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which
the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment
of the meeting; provided , however , that the board of directors may fix a new record date
for the adjourned meeting.
2.12 Proxies
Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without
a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by a written proxy, signed by the stockholder and filed with the secretary of the corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date,
unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the
stockholder's attorney-in-fact. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212(e) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
2.13 List of Stockholders Entitled to
Vote
The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of a corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of
stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The corporation
shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten
(10) days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the
principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to
stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the
meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required
to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.
2.14 Stockholder Proposals
Effective upon the corporation's initial public offering of stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any stockholder
wishing to bring any other business before a meeting of stockholders, including, but not limited to, the nomination of persons for election as directors, must provide notice to the corporation not more than ninety (90) and not less than fifty
(50) days before the meeting in writing by registered mail, return receipt requested, of the business to be presented by the stockholders at the stockholders' meeting. Any such notice shall set forth the following as to each matter the
stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting: (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and, if such business includes a proposal to amend the
bylaws of the corporation, the language of the proposed amendment; (b) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing such business; (c) the class and number of shares of the corporation that are
beneficially owned by such stockholder; (d) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such
business; and (e) any material interest of the stockholder in such business. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of all applicable laws, rules and
regulations, including, but not limited to, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.14. In the absence of such notice to the corporation
meeting the above requirements, a stockholder shall not be entitled to present any business at any meeting of stockholders.
III. DIRECTORS
3.1 Powers
Subject to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware and any limitations in the certificate of incorporation or these
bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the board of
directors.
3.2 Number of Directors
The number of directors constituting the board of directors shall be not more than seven (7) but not less than one (1), and may be
fixed or changed, within this minimum and maximum, by the stockholders or the board of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as InvaGen Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“InvaGen”)
has the right to nominate the InvaGen Directors (as defined in Section 3.3 herein), the size of the board of directors may only be increased or decreased upon consent of an authorized officer of InvaGen (as confirmed in accordance with Section
12.4 of the SPMA).
No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director's term of
office expires.
3.3 Election, Qualification and Term of
Office of Directors
Except as provided in this Section 3.3 and in Section 3.4 of these bylaws, directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of
stockholders to hold office until the next annual meeting. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, wherein other qualifications for directors may be prescribed. Each director,
including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. Each director shall be a natural person.
Elections of directors need not be by written ballot.
At any time that InvaGen beneficially owns at least 75% of the First Stage Shares (as defined in the SPMA), InvaGen shall have the
right to nominate three members to the board of directors (each, an “InvaGen Director”), initially upon the closing of the Stock Purchase Transaction pursuant to that
certain Stock Purchase and Merger Agreement by and among InvaGen, Madison Pharmaceuticals Inc. and the corporation dated November 12, 2018 (the “SPMA”), and thereafter
at every annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation in which directors are generally elected, including at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on any action by written consent of the stockholders of the corporation relating
to the election of directors generally. At least one of the InvaGen Directors shall be “Independent” as determined by the board of directors pursuant to Rule 5605 of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
(a) The following procedures shall be followed with
respect to the nomination of InvaGen Directors for election at annual meetings of stockholders of the corporation pursuant to this Section 3.3:
(i) For purposes
of determining whether InvaGen has a right to nominate an InvaGen Director pursuant to this Section 3.3 and for purposes of Article IX herein, the beneficial ownership of the common stock of the corporation shall be measured as of the record date
for such annual meeting or written consent. If any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation shall occur, including by reason of any issuance (including upon exercise of warrants), reclassification, recapitalization,
stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, consolidation, split, buy-back, repurchase, redemption, acquisition or similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the
calculation of beneficial ownership under this Section 3.3 and under Article IX herein shall be equitably adjusted to proportionately reflect such change.
(ii) Each year, the corporation will
notify InvaGen when it intends to hold its next corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders at least 120 days prior to such meeting. With respect to InvaGen’s nominees, at least 90 days prior to the corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders,
InvaGen shall provide the corporation with the InvaGen’s nominees for the InvaGen Directors, along with any other information reasonably requested by the independent directors of the corporation pursuant to Rule 5605 of Nasdaq and the rules and
regulations of the SEC (the “Independent Directors”) to evaluate the suitability of such candidates for directorship.
(iii) Within 10 days of receiving
InvaGen’s nominees for the InvaGen Directors in accordance with Section 3.3(a)(ii), the Independent Directors shall make a good faith and reasonable determination as to the suitability of InvaGen’s nominees for InvaGen Directors and shall notify
InvaGen of its determination (and the determination of the board of directors as to whether at least one of the InvaGen nominees is “Independent” pursuant to Rule 5605 of Nasdaq and the rules and regulations of the SEC). If the Independent
Directors do not notify InvaGen of their determination within the 10 day period specified above, then InvaGen’s nominees shall be deemed to be approved for purposes of Section 3.3(a)(iv) below. If InvaGen and the Independent Directors do not
agree on the nominee(s) within 30 days after the Independent Directors raise an objection to an InvaGen Director nomination, the InvaGen Director(s) shall not be nominated by the corporation at such annual meeting. The Independent Directors may
not disqualify a nominee except for the following: (i) commission of acts of misrepresentation, fraud, or dishonesty, (ii) commission of or pleading nolo
contendere or guilty to, a crime involving fraud, any regulatory violation, dishonesty or any felony, (iii) the entry of an order of the SEC or other regulatory or self-regulatory body against the nominee; or (iv) if nominee is
considered to be a “Bad Actor” as defined in Rule 506 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(iv) If the Independent Directors or
any authorized committee thereof approves of InvaGen’s nominees for InvaGen Directors, the board of directors shall (1) nominate such nominees to be elected as directors and recommend that the stockholders vote to elect such nominees at the next
annual meeting of stockholders at which directors will be generally elected and (2) in the case of InvaGen Directors designated pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(v) or Section 3.3(a)(vi), appoint the InvaGen Directors as members of the board of
directors promptly to serve until the corporation’s next annual meeting of stockholders at which directors will be generally elected.
(v) If any InvaGen nominee(s) is not
appointed, nominated or elected by the stockholders, then as soon as practicable after the annual meeting, as applicable, InvaGen shall designate nominee(s) for such InvaGen Director(s) (subject to the limitations on the Independent Directors’
ability to raise an objection as specified in clause (iii) of this Section 3.3(a)), which nominee(s) shall be appointed as director(s) by the board of directors promptly after such designation.
(vi) In the event an InvaGen
Director resigns from the board of directors (or is otherwise incapable of serving on the board of directors), the remaining InvaGen Directors shall have the power to fill such vacancy. So long as the InvaGen Director replacement satisfies the
criteria in Sections 3.3(a)(ii)-(iii), the board of directors shall vote in favor of such InvaGen Director replacement.
(b) InvaGen Directors shall be as close as
proportionally practicable, but at least one InvaGen Director shall be, represented on all committees of the board of directors and shall be appointed to such committees in accordance with Nasdaq and SEC rules. The chair of the corporation’s
audit committee shall be selected by InvaGen out of the InvaGen Directors, provided that such person qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange
Act, of 1934, as amended.
3.4 Resignation and Vacancies
Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or electronic transmission to the corporation. When one or more
directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have the power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when
such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in this Section 3.4 in the filling of other vacancies.
Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws:
(a) vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all
of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director; and
(b) whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the
provisions of the certificate of incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a
sole remaining director so elected.
If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the corporation should have no directors in office, then any officer
or any stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with
the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, or may apply to the Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election as provided in Section 211 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office constitute less than a majority
of the whole board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), then the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten percent (10%)of the total number of the shares at the time
outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which
election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware as far as applicable.
3.5 Place of Meetings; Meetings by
Telephone
The board of directors of the corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware.
Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, members of the board of directors, or any committee
designated by the board of directors, may participate in a meeting of the board of directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear
each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
3.6 First Meetings
The first meeting of each newly elected board of directors shall be held at such time and place as shall be fixed by the vote of the
stockholders at the annual meeting and no notice of such meeting shall be necessary to the newly elected directors in order legally to constitute the meeting, provided a quorum shall be present. In the event of the failure of the stockholders to
fix the time or place of such first meeting of the newly elected board of directors, or in the event such meeting is not held at the time and place so fixed by the stockholders, the meeting may be held at such time and place as shall be specified
in a notice given as hereinafter provided for special meetings of the board of directors, or as shall be specified in a written waiver signed by all of the directors.
3.7 Regular Meetings
Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be
determined by the board of directors.
3.8 Special Meetings; Notice
Special meetings of the board of directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the chairman of the board of
directors, the president, any vice president, the secretary or any director.
Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered either personally or by mail, telex, facsimile, telephone or
electronic transmission to each director, addressed to each director at such director's address and/or phone number and/or electronic transmission address as it is shown on the records of the corporation. If the notice is mailed, it shall be
deposited in the United States mail at least four (4) days before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is delivered personally or by telex, facsimile, telephone or electronic transmission, it shall be delivered by telephone or
transmitted at least forty-eight (48) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be communicated either to the director or to a person at the office of the director who the person
giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the director. The notice need not specify the purpose or the place of the meeting, if the meeting is to be held at the principal executive office of the corporation. Notice
may be delivered by any person entitled to call a special meeting or by an agent of such person.
3.9 Quorum
At all meetings of the board of directors, a majority of the authorized number of 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 otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the certificate of
incorporation. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the board of directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.
3.10 Waiver Of Notice
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or of the certificate of
incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent
to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business
because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the directors, or meeting of a committee of directors, need be specified in any written waiver
of notice unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
3.11 Adjourned Meeting; Notice
If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the board of directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from
time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.
3.12 Board Action by Written Consent
Without a Meeting
Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, 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 of directors or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission and the writing or
writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board of directors or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form
if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.
3.13 Fees and Compensation of Directors
Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the board of directors shall have the authority to
fix the compensation of directors.
The InvaGen Directors and any member of the board of directors designated by or affiliated with Fortress Biotech, Inc. shall not be
compensated for his or her service on the board of directors, except to the extent such person is “Independent” as determined by the board of directors pursuant to Rule 5605 of Nasdaq and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
3.14 Approval of Loans to Officers
Subject to compliance with applicable law, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws, the corporation may lend
money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the
judgment of the directors, such loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the
board of directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing contained in this Section 3.14 shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the
corporation at common law or under any statute.

Unless otherwise restricted by statute, by the certificate of incorporation or by these bylaws, any director or the entire board of
directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided, that, whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock, or series thereof, are entitled
to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, removal of any directors elected by such class or classes of stock, or series thereof, shall be by the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or
classes of stock, or series of stock, then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

VI. INDEMNITY
6.1 Indemnification of Directors and
Officers
The corporation shall, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, indemnify each of
its directors and Officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was
an agent of the corporation. For purposes of this Section 6.1, a director or Officer of the corporation includes any person (a) who is or was a director or Officer of the corporation, (b) who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as
a director, Officer manager, member, partner, trustee, or other agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (c) who was a director or Officer of a corporation that was a
predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation. Such indemnification shall be a contract right and shall include the right to receive payment of any expenses incurred by the
indemnitee in connection with any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, consistent with the provisions of applicable law as then in effect. The right of indemnification provided in this Section 6.1 shall not be exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled, and the provisions of this Section 6.1 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of any person entitled to indemnity under this Section 6.1 and shall
be applicable to proceedings commenced or continuing after the adoption of this Section 6.1, whether arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after such adoption. In furtherance, but not in limitation of the foregoing provisions, the
following procedures, presumptions and remedies shall apply with respect to advancement of expenses and the right to indemnification under this Section 6.1.
(a) Advancement of Expenses. All reasonable
expenses incurred by or on behalf of the indemnitee in connection with any proceeding shall be advanced to the indemnitee by the corporation within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the corporation of a statement or statements from the
indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such proceeding, unless, prior to the expiration of such twenty-day period, the board of directors shall unanimously (except for the
vote, if applicable, of the indemnitee) determine that the indemnitee has no reasonable likelihood of being entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.1. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by
the indemnitee and, if required by law at the time of such advance, shall include or be accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay the amounts advanced if it should ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified against such expenses pursuant to this Section 6.1.
(b) Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to
Indemnification.
(i) To obtain indemnification under this Section 6.1, an indemnitee shall submit to the secretary of the corporation a
written request, including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification (the “Supporting
Documentation”). The determination of the indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than sixty (60) days after receipt by the corporation of the written request for indemnification together with the Supporting
Documentation. The secretary of the corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the board of directors in writing that the indemnitee has requested indemnification, whereupon the corporation shall
provide such indemnification, including without limitation advancement of expenses, so long as the indemnitee is legally entitled thereto in accordance with applicable law.
(ii) The indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification under this Section 6.1 shall be determined in one of the following
ways: (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum of the board of directors; (B) by a committee of such Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the board of
directors; (C) by a written opinion of Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined) if (x) a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) shall have occurred and the indemnitee so requests or (y) a quorum of the board of directors consisting of
Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a majority of such Disinterested Directors so directs; (D) by the stockholders of the corporation (but only if a majority of the Disinterested Directors, if they constitute a
quorum of the board of directors, presents the issue of entitlement to indemnification to the stockholders for their determination); or (E) as provided in paragraph (c) below.
(iii) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to
paragraph (b)(ii) above, a majority of the Disinterested Directors shall select the Independent Counsel, but only an Independent Counsel to which the indemnitee does not reasonably object; provided , however , that if a Change of Control shall have occurred, the indemnitee shall select such Independent Counsel, but only an
Independent Counsel to which the board of directors does not reasonably object.
(iv) The only basis upon which a finding that indemnification may not be made is that such indemnification is prohibited by
law.
(c) Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.1, if a Change of Control shall have occurred, the indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.1 upon submission of a request for Indemnification
together with the Supporting Documentation in accordance with paragraph (b)(i), and thereafter the corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching a contrary determination. In any event, if the person or
persons empowered under paragraph (b)(ii) above to determine entitlement to indemnification shall not have been appointed or shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the corporation of the request therefor
together with the Supporting Documentation, the indemnitee shall be deemed to be entitled to indemnification and the indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification unless (A) the indemnitee misrepresented or failed to disclose a material
fact in making the request for indemnification or in the Supporting Documentation or (B) such indemnification is prohibited by law. The termination of any proceeding described in this Section 6.1, or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by
judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, adversely affect the right of the
indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that the indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner that the indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or, with respect to any
criminal proceeding, that the indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the indemnitee's conduct was unlawful.
(d) Remedies of Indemnitee.
(i) In the event that a determination is made pursuant to paragraph (b)(ii) that the indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification under this Section 6.1: (A) the indemnitee shall be entitled to seek an adjudication of his or her entitlement to such indemnification either, at the indemnitee's sole option, in (x) an appropriate court of the State of Delaware
or any other court of competent jurisdiction, or (y) an arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association; (B) any such judicial proceeding or arbitration shall be de novo and the indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of such adverse determination; and (C) in any such judicial proceeding or arbitration the
corporation shall have the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.1.
(ii) If a determination shall have been made or is deemed to have been made, pursuant to paragraph (b)(ii) or (iii), that the
indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the corporation shall be obligated to pay the amounts constituting such indemnification within five (5) days after such determination has been made or is deemed to have been made and shall be
conclusively bound by such determination unless (A) the indemnitee misrepresented or failed to disclose a material fact in making the request for indemnification or in the Supporting Documentation, or (B) such indemnification is prohibited by
law. In the event that: (X) advancement of expenses is not timely made pursuant to paragraph (a); or (Y) payment of indemnification is not made within five (5) days after a determination of entitlement to indemnification has been made or deemed
to have been made pursuant to paragraph (b)(ii) or (iii), the indemnitee shall be entitled to seek judicial enforcement of the corporation's obligation to pay to the indemnitee such advancement of expenses or indemnification. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the corporation may bring an action, in an appropriate court in the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction, contesting the right of the indemnitee to receive indemnification hereunder due to the occurrence of an
event described in subclause (A) or (B) of this clause (ii) (a “Disqualifying Event”); provided, however, that in any such action the corporation shall have the burden of proving the occurrence of such Disqualifying Event.
(iii) The corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceedings or arbitration commenced pursuant to this
paragraph (d) that the procedures and presumptions of this Section 6.1 are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Section
6.1.
(iv) In the event that the indemnitee, pursuant to this paragraph (d), seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in
arbitration to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Section 6.1, the indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the corporation, and shall be indemnified by the corporation against, any expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee if the indemnitee prevails in such judicial adjudication or arbitration. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that the indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all
of the indemnification or advancement of expenses sought, the expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication shall be prorated accordingly.
(e) Definitions. For purposes of this Section
6.1:
(i) “Change in Control” means a change in control of the corporation of a nature that would be required to be reported in
response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), whether or not the corporation is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided that, without
limitation, such a change in control shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule l3d-3 under the Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the corporation representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the corporation's then outstanding securities without the prior approval of at least a majority of the members of the
board of directors in office immediately prior to such acquisition; (ii) the corporation is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other reorganization, or a proxy contest, as a consequence of which members of the board of
directors in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the board of directors thereafter; or (iii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period
constituted the board of directors (including for this purpose any new director whose election or nomination for election by the corporation's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in office who
were directors at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors;
(ii) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the corporation who is not a party to the proceeding in respect of which
indemnification is sought by the indemnitee; and
(iii) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm or a member of a law firm that neither presently is, nor in the past five (5)
years has been, retained to represent: (A) the corporation or the indemnitee in any matter material to either such party or (B) any other party to the proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Section 6.1. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing under such persons, relevant jurisdiction of practice, would have a conflict of interest in
representing either the corporation or the indemnitee in an action to determine the indemnitee's rights under this Section 6.1.
(f) Invalidity; Severability; Interpretation.
If any provision or provisions of this Section 6.1 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Section 6.1 (including, without
limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Section 6.1 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Section 6.1 (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Section 6.1 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
that are not themselves invalid; illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable. Reference herein to laws, regulations or agencies shall be deemed
to include all amendments thereof, substitutions therefor and successors thereto.
6.2 Indemnification of Others
The corporation shall have the power, to the extent and in the manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, to
indemnify each of its officers, employees and agents (other than directors) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising
by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation. For purposes of this Section 6.2, an officer, employee or agent of the corporation (other than a director) includes any person (a) who is or was an employee or agent of
the corporation, (b) who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, manager, member, partner, trustee, employee or other agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, or (c) who was an employee or agent of a corporation that was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.
6.3 Insurance
The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, manager, member,
partner, trustee, employee or other agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under
the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
VII. RECORDS AND REPORTS
7.1 Maintenance and Inspection of
Records
The corporation shall, either at its principal executive office or at such place or places as designated by the board of directors,
keep a record of its stockholders listing their names and addresses and the number and class of shares held by each stockholder, a copy of these bylaws as amended to date, accounting books and other records.
Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof,
have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders and its other books and records and to make copies or extracts therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean
a purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such
other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of business.
Any records maintained by a corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account and minute
books, may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device or method, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time. Any corporation shall so convert
any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect such records pursuant to any provision of the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the General Corporation Law of Delaware. When records are kept in such manner, a
clearly legible paper from or by means of the information storage device or method shall be admissible in evidence, and accepted for all other purposes, to the same extent as an original paper record of the same information would have been,
provided the paper form accurately portrays the record.
7.2 Inspection by Directors
Any director shall have the right to examine the corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders and its other books and
records for a purpose reasonably related to his or her position as a director. The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with the exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a director is entitled to the inspection sought. The court may summarily
order the corporation to permit the director to inspect any and all books and records, the stock ledger and the stock list and to make copies or extracts therefrom. The burden of proof shall be upon the corporation to establish that the
inspection such director seeks is for an improper purpose. The court may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference to the inspection, or award such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper.
7.3 Annual Statement to Stockholders
The board of directors shall present at each annual meeting, and at any special meeting of the stockholders when called for by vote of
the stockholders, a full and clear statement of the business and condition of the corporation.
VIII. GENERAL MATTERS
8.1 Checks
From time to time, the board of directors shall determine by resolution which person or persons may sign or endorse all checks,
drafts, other orders for payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness that are issued in the name of or payable to the corporation, and only the persons so authorized shall sign or endorse those instruments.
8.2 Execution of Corporate Contracts
and Instruments
The board of directors, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to
enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. Unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within the agency
power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.
8.3 Stock Certificates; Partly Paid
Shares
The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the board of directors of the corporation may
provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to
the corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the board of directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates and upon request every holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate signed
by, or in the name of the corporation by the chairman or vice-chairman of the board of directors, or the president or vice president, and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary of such corporation
representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed
upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of
issue. The corporation shall not have power to issue a certificate in bearer form.
The corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the
consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, and upon the books and records of the corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total
amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only
upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.
8.4 Special Designation on Certificates
If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the
designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in
full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided , however , that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the
face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the
preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.
8.5 Lost Certificates
Except as provided in this Section 8.5, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate
unless the latter is surrendered to the corporation and cancelled at the same time. The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost,
stolen or destroyed, and the corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against
it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.
8.6 Construction; Definitions
Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the Delaware General
Corporation Law shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term “person” includes both a corporation
and a natural person.
8.7 Dividends
The directors of the corporation, subject to any rights or restrictions contained in the certificate of incorporation, may declare and
pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock pursuant to the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the corporation's capital stock.
The directors of the corporation may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or
reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation and meeting contingencies.
8.8 Fiscal Year
The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the board of directors and may be changed by the board of
directors.
8.9 Seal
The corporation may adopt a corporate seal which may be altered as desired, and may use the same by causing it, or a facsimile
thereof, to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.
8.10 Transfer of Stock
Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by
proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction in its books.

transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.
IX. AMENDMENTS
The original or other bylaws of the corporation may be adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however, that the corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, confer the
power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws upon the directors; provided, further, that these
bylaws shall not be amended or repealed without the prior consent of an authorized officer of InvaGen (as confirmed in accordance with Section 12.4 of the SPMA), (a) if the SPMA has not been terminated, until the Second Stage Closing (as defined
therein), and (b) if the SPMA has been terminated, at any time that InvaGen beneficially owns at least 75% of the First Stage Shares. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the directors shall not divest the stockholders of the
power, nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.
X. DISSOLUTION
If it should be deemed advisable in the judgment of the board of directors of the corporation that the corporation should be
dissolved, the board, after the adoption of a resolution to that effect by a majority of the whole board at any meeting called for that purpose, shall cause notice to be mailed to each stockholder entitled to vote thereon of the adoption of the
resolution and of a meeting of stockholders to take action upon the resolution.
At the meeting a vote shall be taken for and against the proposed dissolution. If a majority of the outstanding stock of the
corporation entitled to vote thereon votes for the proposed dissolution, then a certificate stating, among other things, that the dissolution has been authorized in accordance with the provisions of Section 275 of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware and setting forth the names and residences of the directors and officers shall be executed, acknowledged, and filed and shall become effective in accordance with Section 103 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Upon such
certificate's becoming effective in accordance with Section 103 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the corporation shall be dissolved.
Whenever all the stockholders entitled to vote on a dissolution consent in writing, either in person or by duly authorized attorney,
to a dissolution, no meeting of directors or stockholders shall be necessary. The consent shall be filed and shall become effective in accordance with Section 103 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Upon such consent's becoming effective
in accordance with Section 103 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the corporation shall be dissolved. If the consent is signed by an attorney, then the original power of attorney or a photocopy thereof shall be attached to and filed with
the consent. The consent filed with the Secretary of State shall have attached to it the affidavit of the secretary or some other officer of the corporation stating that the consent has been signed by or on behalf of all the stockholders entitled
to vote on a dissolution; in addition, there shall be attached to the consent a certification by the secretary or some other officer of the corporation setting forth the names and residences of the directors and officers of the corporation.
XI. CUSTODIAN
11.1 Appointment of a Custodian in
Certain Cases
The Court of Chancery, upon application of any stockholder, may appoint one or more persons to be custodians and, if the corporation
is insolvent, to be receivers, of and for the corporation when:
(a) at any meeting held for the election of directors the stockholders are so divided that they have failed to elect successors
to directors whose terms have expired or would have expired upon qualification of their successors;
(b) the business of the corporation is suffering or is threatened with irreparable injury because the directors are so
divided respecting the management of the affairs of the corporation that the required vote for action by the board of directors cannot be obtained and the stockholders are unable to terminate this division; or
(c) the corporation has abandoned its business and has failed within a reasonable time to take steps to dissolve, liquidate
or distribute its assets.
11.2 Duties of Custodian
The custodian shall have all the powers and title of a receiver appointed under Section 291 of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware, but the authority of the custodian shall be to continue the business of the corporation and not to liquidate its affairs and distribute its assets, except when the Court of Chancery otherwise orders and except in cases arising under
Sections 226(a)(3) or 352(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
