Section 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on the first Monday in May or, if a legal holiday, then on the next secular day following, at 10:00 a.m. Such meeting shall be held within or without the State of Delaware, at which meeting the stockholders shall elect by a plurality vote a Board of Directors, and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day designated herein for any annual meeting, or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a meeting of the stockholders as soon thereafter as may be convenient.

Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the certificate of incorporation, may be called by the President and shall be called by the President or Secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors or at the request in writing of stockholders owning a majority in amount of the entire capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.


Section 3. Notice. Written notice of the annual or special meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat, in person or by mailing to him at his last known address, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of meeting, unless such notice is waived in writing by each stockholder entitled thereto.

Section 4. Stockholder List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to any election of directors, prepare a list of all stockholders of record (the date of such list being hereafter referred to as the “record date”), which list shall be in alphabetical order and shall show the address and number of shares registered in the name of each such stockholder. At such election, each stockholder of record on the record date shall be entitled to vote the shares owned by him, as disclosed by such list, irrespective of any transfers thereof subsequent to the record date. Such list shall also govern the voting of shares at any adjourned meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may, but shall not be required to, fix a new record date for any adjourned meeting. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder or his duly authorized legal representative, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the election, either at a place within the city, town or village where the election is to be held, and which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not specified, at the place where said meeting is to be held, and the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of election during the whole time thereof and shall be subject to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present.

If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be presented or represented, at which time any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by

Section 7. Written Consent. Whenever the vote of stockholders at a meeting thereof is required or permitted to be taken in connection with any corporate action by any provisions of the statutes, of the certificate of incorporation, or of these by-laws, such meeting and vote of stockholders may be dispensed with if a majority of the stockholders who would have been entitled to vote upon the action if such meeting were held shall consent in writing to such corporate action being taken.

Section 11. Committees of Directors. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation, which, to the extent provided in the resolution, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, including the power and authority to declare dividends, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it.

Section 12. Records of Committees. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required.

Section 13. Compensation of Directors. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or by these by-laws, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
