(i) on the date fixed pursuant to Section 6.5 of these Bylaws as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting, or

Persons holding stock of the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote such stock.

The attendance at any meeting of a stockholder who may theretofore have given a proxy shall not have the effect of revoking the same unless he shall in writing so notify the secretary of the meeting prior to the voting of the proxy. At any meeting of the stockholders all matters, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, in these Bylaws or by law, shall be decided by the vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat and thereon. The vote at any meeting of the stockholders on any question need not be by ballot, unless so directed by the chairman of the meeting. On a

vote by ballot each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by his proxy, if there be such proxy, and it shall state the number of shares voted.

 

SECTION 2.7 List of Stockholders. The Secretary of the 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.

Such Inspector of Election shall decide upon the qualification of the voters and shall report the number of shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on such question, shall conduct and accept the votes, and, when the voting is completed, shall ascertain and report the number of shares voted respectively for and against the question. Reports of the Inspector of Election shall be in writing and subscribed and delivered by them to the Secretary of the Corporation. The Inspector of Election need not be a stockholder of the Corporation, and any officer or director of the Corporation may be an Inspector of Election on any question other than a vote for or against a proposal in which he shall have a material interest.

 

SECTION 2.9 Conduct of Meeting. The chairman of a meeting of the stockholders, as determined pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws, shall conduct such meeting in a businesslike and fair manner, but shall not be obligated to follow any technical, formal or parliamentary rules or principles of procedure. The chairman’s ruling on procedural matters shall be conclusive and binding on all stockholders, unless at the time of a ruling a request for a vote is made to the stockholders entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy at the meeting, in which case the decision of a majority of such shares shall be conclusive and binding on all stockholders.

11



 

benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any Covered Person for expenses incurred in connection with proceedings initiated or brought voluntarily by the Covered Person and not by way of defense, counterclaim or crossclaim, except (i) proceedings to enforce or interpret any rights of the Covered Person to indemnification or advancement of expenses, other than proceedings determined to have been frivolous or in bad faith, (ii) in specific cases if the board of directors of the Company has approved the initiation or bringing of the proceeding, and (iii) as may be required by law.

 

SECTION 5.2 Advancement of Expenses.  The Company shall advance all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by a Covered Person in defending or responding to any proceeding to which such person is a party or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise subpoenaed in connection with, by reason of the fact that such Covered Person (or the person of whom he or she is the legal representative) is or was an officer or a director (or a member of any committee) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director (or a member of a committee of a board of directors), officer, employee, trustee, manager or agent of another entity upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by such Covered Person, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, to repay such amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such expenses under Article Seventh of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Article V of these Bylaws or otherwise.

 

SECTION 5.3  Claims. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under Article Seventh of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or this Article V is not paid in full by or on behalf of the Company within 10 days after a written claim therefor by the Covered Person has been received by the Company, the Covered Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and shall be entitled to be paid by the Company an additional amount equal to the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by Section 5.1 of these Bylaws and applicable law. In any such action the Company shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.  Neither the failure of the Company (including its board or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is proper in the circumstances nor an actual determination by the Company (including its board, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) that such Covered Person is not entitled to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses shall constitute a defense to the action or create a presumption that such Covered Person is not so entitled.

 

SECTION 5.4  Nonexclusivity of Rights; Purchase of Insurance.

(b)      The Company shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, manager or agent of another entity, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

 

SECTION 5.5   Provisions Deemed a Contract.  The provisions of Article Seventh of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and this Article V shall constitute a contract between the Company, on the one hand, and each director and officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who serves in such capacity at any time while either of Article Seventh of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and this Article V is in effect and any other person entitled to indemnification hereunder, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Covered Person intend to be, and shall be, legally bound.

ARTICLE VI

 

CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER

 

SECTION 6.1 Certificates for Stock. Every owner of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate or certificates, to be in such form as the Board shall prescribe, certifying the number and class of shares of the stock of the Corporation owned by him. The certificates representing shares of such stock shall be numbered in the order in which they shall be issued and shall be signed in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer or President, and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer. Any of or all of the signatures on the certificates may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, any such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as though the person who signed such certificate, or whose facsimile signature shall have been placed thereupon, were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. A record shall be kept of the respective names of the persons, firms or corporations owning the shares represented by such certificates, the number and class of shares represented by such certificates, respectively, and the respective dates thereof, and in case of cancellation, the respective dates of cancellation. Every certificate surrendered to the Corporation for exchange or transfer shall be canceled, and no new certificate or certificates shall be issued in exchange for any existing certificate until such existing certificate shall have been so cancelled, except in cases provided for in Section 6.4.

 

SECTION 6.2 Transfers of Stock.

The person in whose name shares of stock stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes as regards the Corporation. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, such fact shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer if, when the certificate or certificates shall be presented to the Corporation for transfer, both the transferor and the transferee request the Corporation to do so.

 

SECTION 6.3 Transfer Agent. The Board may make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient, not inconsistent with these Bylaws, concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of the stock of the Corporation.

SECTION 6.4 Lost, Stolen, Destroyed and Mutilated Certificates. In any case of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate of stock, another may be issued in its place upon proof of such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation and upon the giving of a bond of indemnity to the Corporation in such form and in such sum as the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or the President may direct; provided, however, that a new certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or the President, it is proper so do to.

 

SECTION 6.5 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. 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 receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which 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 in any case involving the determination of stockholders for any purpose other than notice of or voting at a meeting of stockholders the Board shall not fix such a record date, the record date for determining stockholders for such purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board shall adopt the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
