Failure to hold the annual meeting at the designated time shall not affect the validity of any action taken by the Corporation. If the Board of Directors fails to call the annual meeting, any shareholder may make a demand in writing to any officer of the Corporation that an annual meeting be held.

 

Section 2.3. SPECIAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETINGS. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Board of Directors, the, or upon the demand of the holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting. The record date for determining which shareholders are entitled to call a special meeting is the date the first shareholder signs the demand for that meeting. In order for the shareholders to demand a special meeting, the shareholders of the required percentage of shares must sign, date and deliver to the Corporation’s Secretary one or more demands, in writing or by electronic transmission, for the meeting, describing the purposes for which the meeting is to be held. Only business within the purpose or purposes described in the notice or executed waiver of notice may be conducted at a special meeting of the shareholders.

 

Section 2.4. FIXING THE RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, the record date shall be the date specified by the Board of Directors in the notice of the meeting or if no date is specified, the close of business on the day before the notice of the meeting is mailed to shareholders. If no notice is sent, the record date shall be the date set by the law applying to the type of action to be taken for which a record date must be set. In the case of action by written consent of the shareholders without a meeting, the record date shall be the date the first shareholder signs the written consent.

 

A record date fixed under this Section may not be more than seventy (70) days before the meeting or action requiring a determination of shareholders. A determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a shareholders’ meeting is effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date.

Section 2.5. NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING. Written or printed notice stating the place, date and time of the meeting, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given no fewer than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. Notice shall be given personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary, or the officer or person calling the meeting, to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

If mailed, the notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at the shareholder’s address as it appears on the share transfer records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

 

Any person entitled to notice of a meeting may sign a written waiver of notice either before or after the time of the meeting. The participation or attendance at a meeting of a person entitled to notice constitutes waiver of notice, except where the person attends for the specific purpose of objecting to the lawfulness of the convening of the meeting.

 

Section 2.6. VOTING LISTS. The officer or agent having charge of the share transfer records for shares of the Corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of all shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting, arranged by voting group and by class and series of share, with the address of and the number of shares held by each shareholder. The list shall be available for inspection by any shareholder after notice of the meeting is given during regular corporate hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. The list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the entire meeting.

 

Section 2.7. QUORUM OF SHAREHOLDERS. A quorum shall be present for action on any matter at a shareholder meeting if a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by a voting group are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. A voting group includes all shares of one or more classes or series that are entitled, by law or the Articles of Incorporation, to vote and to be counted together collectively on a matter at a meeting of shareholders.

 

Once a quorum for a voting group has been established at a meeting, the shareholders in that voting group represented in person or by proxy at the meeting are deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment unless:

 

1. The shareholder attends the meeting solely to object to defective notice or the conduct of the meeting on other grounds and does not vote the shares or take any other action at the meeting.

 

2. The meeting is adjourned and a new record date is set for the adjourned meeting.

 

The shareholders in a voting group represented in person or by proxy at a meeting of shareholders, even if not comprising a quorum, may adjourn the meeting as to the voting group until a time and place as may be determined by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the voting group represented in person or by proxy at that meeting. If the meeting is adjourned for more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date. Notice of the meeting shall be given to the shareholders who are members of the voting group as of the new record date, and a new quorum for the meeting must be established.

 

Section 2.8. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may adopt by resolution rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of the shareholders as it deems appropriate. At every meeting of the shareholders, the President, or in his or her absence or inability to act, the Vice-President, or, in his or her absence or inability to act, a director or office designated by the Board of Directors, shall act as chairman of, and preside at, the meeting. The Secretary or, in his or her absence or inability to act, the person whom the chairman of the meeting shall appoint secretary of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

 

The presiding officer shall determine the order of business and, in the absence of a rule adopted by the Board of Directors, shall establish rules for the conduct of the meeting. The presiding officer shall announce the close of the

polls for each matter voted upon at the meeting, after which not ballots, proxies, votes, changes or revocations will be accepted. Polls for all matters before the meeting will be deemed to be closed upon final adjournment of the meeting.

 

Section 2.9. VOTING OF SHARES. Each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders, except to the extent that the Articles of Incorporation provides for more or less than one vote per share or limits or denies voting rights to the holders of the shares of any class or series.

 

2

If a quorum of a voting group exists, favorable action on a matter, other than the election of Directors, will be approved by a voting group if the votes cast within the group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless a greater or lesser number of votes is required by law or a greater number of votes is required by the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws or a resolution of the Board of Directors requiring receipt of a greater affirmative vote of the shareholders, including more separate voting groups.

 

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Shareholders are prohibited from cumulating their votes in any election of directors of the Corporation.

 

Shares of the Corporation’s stock owned by the Corporation itself or by another corporation or entity, the majority of the voting stock or interest of which is owned or controlled by the Corporation, shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting, and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time. Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting the right of the Corporation or any domestic or foreign corporation or other entity to vote shares held or controlled by it in a fiduciary capacity.

 

Shares owned by another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by any officer, agent, or proxy, or other legal representative authorized to vote such shares under the law of incorporation of such corporation.

 

Shares registered in the name of a deceased person, a minor ward or a person under legal disability may be voted by his or her administrator, executor, or court appointed guardian, either in person or by proxy without a transfer of such shares into the name of such administrator, executor, or court appointed guardian. Shares registered in the name of a trustee may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy. Shares registered in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his or her name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate court order in which the receiver was appointed.

 

A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the transferred shares.

 

Section 2.10. VOTING BY PROXY OR NOMINEE. A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or his or her attorney-in-fact. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized by the Corporation to tabulate votes. No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest. Proxies coupled with an interest include the appointment as proxy of a pledgee; a person who purchased or agreed to purchase, or owns or holds an option to purchase, the shares; a creditor of the Corporation who extended it credit under terms requiring the appointment; an employee of the Corporation whose employment contract requires the appointment, or a party to a voting agreement created under the Georgia Business Corporation Code.

 

Section 2.11. ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING.

 

Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting or shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a consent or consents, in writing or signed electronically and setting forth the action so taken, shall have been signed by the shareholders not having less than the minimum number of votes necessary to take the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote on the action are present and voting. All voting shareholders on the record date that did not participate in taking the action set out in the consent or consents shall be given written notice of the action not more than ten (10) days after the action is taken.

 

The action shall be evidenced by one or more written consents that describe the action taken, are signed by shareholders having the requisite votes, bear the date of the signatures of such shareholders, and are delivered to the Corporation for inclusion with the records of meetings within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation.

 

Section 2.12. SHAREHOLDER NOMINATIONS AND PROPOSALS. For business (including, but not limited to, director nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder or shareholders of record intending to propose the business (the “proposing shareholder”) must have given written notice of the proposing shareholder’s nomination or proposal, either by personal delivery or by United States mail to the Secretary not later than ninety (90) calendar days prior to the date such annual meeting is to be held. If the current year’s meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days of the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting, notice must be received not later than ten (10) calendar days following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made. In no event will an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of shareholders begin a new time period for giving a proposing shareholder’s notice as provided above.

 

3

For business to be properly brought before a special meeting of shareholders, the notice of the meeting sent by or at the direction of the person calling the meeting must set forth the nature of the business to be considered. A person or persons who have made a written request for a special meeting pursuant to Section 2.3 of these Bylaws may provide the information required for notice of a shareholder proposal under this section simultaneously with the written request for the meeting submitted to the Secretary or within ten (10) calendar days after delivery of the written request for the meeting to the Secretary.

 

A proposing shareholder’s notice shall include as to each matter the proposing shareholder proposes to bring before either an annual or special meeting:

Corporation held by the proposing shareholder.

A new certificate may be issued in lieu of any certificate previously issued that has become defaced or mutilated upon surrender for cancellation of a part of the old certificate sufficient, in the opinion of the Secretary and the transfer agent or the registrar, if any, to identify the owner of the defaced or mutilated certificate, the number of shares represented thereby, and the number of the certificate and its authenticity and to protect the Corporation and the transfer agent or the registrar against loss or liability.

In the event of an emergency, to the extent not limited or prohibited by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the following provisions regarding the management of the Corporation shall take effect immediately. An emergency, for the purposes of this Section, exists if a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot readily participate in a meeting because of the occurrence of a catastrophic event.

 

In the event of an emergency, a meeting of the Board of Directors may be called following the attempt of not less than two hour notice to each director. Said notice may be given by electronic transmission, including facsimile transmission, transmission to an electronic mail address provided by the director, as well as by telephone.

The Board of Directors shall approve and maintain a current list of officers or other persons to serve as directors to the extent necessary to provide a quorum at any meeting held and to take over the duties of any other officer who is rendered incapable of discharging their duties while these emergency bylaws are in effect.

 

When an emergency, as defined in this Section, arises, the Chairman of the Board, the President and the Secretary, without the approval of the Board of Directors, shall have the authority to temporarily change the corporation’s principal office or designate several alternative principal offices, until such time as the Board of Directors can meet or until the termination of the emergency.

 

These emergency provisions take effect only in the event of an emergency as defined hereinabove, and will no longer be effective after the emergency ends. Any and all provisions of these Bylaws that are consistent with these emergency provisions remain in effect during an emergency. Any or all of these actions of the Corporation taken in good faith in accordance with these provisions are binding upon this Corporation and may not be used to impose liability on a managerial official, employee, or agent of the Corporation.
