The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding.

 

(B)                    Except as otherwise required by applicable law, holders of a series of Preferred Stock, as such, shall be entitled only to such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be granted thereto by these Restated Articles (including any certificate of designations relating to such series).

(B)                    Dividends and Distributions.

ARTICLE V

 

Section 5.1.           Bylaws. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, the Board is expressly authorized to make, amend, alter, change, add to or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”) without the assent or vote of the shareholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Minnesota, these Restated Articles, or the applicable provision of the Bylaws requiring the requisite vote of the shareholders in order to amend, alter, or repeal certain provisions of the Bylaws. The Board may adopt or amend a Bylaw to increase the number of directors.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

Section 6.1.           Board of Directors.

 

(A)                   Director Powers. Except as otherwise provided in these Restated Articles or the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board.

 

(B)                    Number of Directors. The total number of directors constituting the whole Board shall, (a) as of the date of these Restated Articles, initially be seven (7) and (b) thereafter, shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by a majority of the Board.

 

(C)                    Classified Board. The directors (other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors. Class I directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of shareholders following the Effective Date, Class II directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders following the Effective Date, and Class III directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of shareholders following the Effective Date. At each annual meeting of shareholders following the Effective Date, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting of shareholders shall be elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of shareholders. If the number of such directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any such additional director of any class elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors remove, or shorten the term of, any incumbent director. The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to their respective class.

 

(D)                    Board Vacancies and Newly-Created Directorships. Subject to the rights granted to the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any newly-created directorship on the Board that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board (whether by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause) shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by the shareholders), except in the case of a vacancy occurring as a result of death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal of a director that is a “DDS Appointee” (as that term is defined in the Bylaws), in which case that vacancy shall be filled in accordance with the applicable provision of the Bylaws. Any director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

(E)                    Term and Removal. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting of shareholders at which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be duly elected and qualified, or his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Any director may resign at any time upon notice to the Corporation given in writing or by any electronic transmission permitted by the Bylaws. Any or all of the directors (other than a director that is a “DDS Appointee” (as that term is defined in the Bylaws), and directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) may be removed only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class. In case the Board or any one or more directors should be so removed, new directors may be elected pursuant to Section 6.1(C) and Section 6.1(D). Removal of a director that is a “DDS Appointee” (as that term is defined in the Bylaws) shall be in accordance with the applicable provision of the Bylaws.

 

(F)                    Preferred Stock Directors. Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect director(s) at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of these Restated Articles (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) applicable thereto. Notwithstanding Section 6.1(B), the number of directors that may be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to Section 6.1(B) hereof, and the total number of directors constituting the whole Board shall be automatically adjusted accordingly.

 

(G)                    Vote by Ballot. Directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

Section 7.1.            Consent of Shareholders in Lieu of Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of stock of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent in writing or by electric transmission by such holders unless such writing or electronic transmission is signed by the holders of outstanding shares 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, and is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Minnesota, or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded; provided, however, that in the event that the Corporation becomes a “publicly held corporation” as defined and used in the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, then such action may not be effected by any consent in writing or by electric transmission unless such writing or electronic transmission is signed by all of the holders of stock entitled to vote on that action.

 

Section 7.2.            Meetings of Shareholders. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation may be called only by or at the direction of the Board, the chairman of the Board or the chief executive officer or president of the Corporation or as otherwise provided in the Bylaws. Special meetings of shareholders may also be called by one or more shareholders holding at least a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock entitled to vote; and, subject to the foregoing sentence, special meetings of shareholders may not be called by any other person.

 

Section 7.3.            Consent of the Board in Lieu of Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board may be taken by written action signed, or consented to by authenticated electronic communication, by the number of directors that would be required to take the same action at a meeting of the Board at which all directors are present.

ARTICLE VIII

 

Section 8.1.            Limited Liability of Directors. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no director of the Corporation will have any personal liability to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the Minnesota Business Corporation Act is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, as so amended.

 

Section 8.2.            Change in Rights. Neither the amendment nor the repeal of this Article VIII shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing prior to such amendment or repeal.

 

Section 8.3.            Director and Officer Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and advance expenses to any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, serves or served at any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

 

Section 8.4.            Employee and Agent Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may indemnify and advance expenses to any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as an employee or agent at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

Section 9.1.            Severability. If any provision of these Restated Articles shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of these Restated Articles (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of these Restated Articles containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

ARTICLE X

 

Section 10.1.          Amendments. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in these Restated Articles (including, but not limited to, Section 4.3(A)(D), and any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock), in addition to any vote required by applicable law, these Restated Articles may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded, in whole or in part, or any provision inconsistent therewith or herewith may be adopted, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class.
