DIRECTORS - MANAGEMENT

 

Section 1. RESPONSIBILITY OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

 

Subject to the provisions of the corporation laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation Law”) and to any limitations in the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation relating to action required to be approved by the Shareholders, 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. The Board may delegate the management of the day-to-day operation of the business of the corporation to a management company or other person, provided that the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised under the ultimate direction of the Board of Directors.

 

Section 2. NUMBER AND QUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS.

 

Subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, the authorized number of Directors shall be one or more individuals until changed by a duly adopted amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation if the number is fixed in the Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise by an amendment to these Bylaws adopted by the vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Each Director shall be a natural person of full age.

 

A Director need not be a Shareholder unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation. No reduction of the authorized number of Directors shall have the effect of removing any Director before that Director’s term of office expires.

 

Section 3. ELECTION OF, TERM OF, CUMULATIVE VOTING, FOR OFFICE OF DIRECTORS.

 

Subject to notice of cumulative voting Directors shall be elected by the majority of the shares entitled to vote present, in person, or by proxy at each annual meeting of the Shareholders to hold office until the next annual meeting. Each Director, including a Director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until a successor has been elected and qualified or until such Director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

 

Provided the name of the candidate has been placed in nomination prior to the voting and one or more Shareholders has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of the Shareholder’s intent to cumulate the Shareholder’s votes, as permitted by the Corporation Law every Shareholder entitled to vote at any election for Directors of the corporation may cumulate their votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of Directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which his or her shares are entitled, or distribute his or her votes on the same principle among as many candidates as he or she thinks fit. The candidates receiving the highest number of votes up to the number of Directors to be elected are elected.

Section 4. VACANCIES IN THE BOARD.

 

A vacancy or vacancies in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist in the event of the death, resignation, or removal of any Director, or if the Board of Directors by resolution declares vacant the office of a Director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court or convicted of a felony, or if the authorized number of Directors is increased, or if the Shareholders fail, at any meeting of Shareholders at which any Director or Directors are elected, to elect the number of Directors to be voted for at that meeting.

 

Vacancies in the Board of Directors may be filled A) by a majority vote of the remaining Directors at a meeting, or B) if the number of Directors is less than a quorum, by (1) unanimous written consent of the Directors then in office or (2) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office at a meeting.

 

If the vacant office was held by a Director elected by a voting group of Shareholders, only the holders of shares of that voting group are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by the Shareholders. The Shareholders may elect a Director to fill a vacancy not filled by the Directors by the written consent of the Shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote or by the vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present. At any time, the Shareholders may elect a Director or Directors to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the Directors, but any such election by written consent shall require the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

 

Section 5. REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS.

 

Unless the Certificate of Incorporation provides otherwise the entire Board of Directors or any individual Director may be removed from office with or without cause by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote for the election of Directors.

 

A Director may be removed by the Shareholders only at a meeting called for the purpose of removing such Director and the meeting notice shall state that the purpose, or one (1) of the purposes, of the meeting is removal of the Director.

 

Section 6. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS.

 

Directors, as such, shall not receive any stated salary for their services, but by resolution of the Board a fixed sum and expense of attendance, if any, may be allowed for attendance at each regular and special meeting of the Board; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 7. COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD.

 

One or more Committees of the Board may be appointed by resolution passed by a majority of the authorized number of Directors of the Board. Committees shall be composed of one (1) or more members of the Board, and shall have such powers of the Board as may be expressly delegated to it by resolution of the Board of Directors, as permitted by the Corporation Law.

 

The provisions of these Bylaws governing meetings of Directors, notices of meeting, waiver of notice, quorum and voting shall apply to meetings of a committee.

Section 6. WAIVER OR LACK OF NOTICE OF MEETING OF DIRECTORS.
