The annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held within six months of the end of the corporation’s fiscal year as fixed by the board of directors for the purpose of electing directors and for such other purposes as may be determined as hereinafter provided. The hour and place of such meeting and the purposes for which such meeting is to be held in addition to that specified above shall be determined in each year by the board of directors or, in the absence of action by the board, by the president. If no annual meeting has been held in the period fixed above, a special meeting may be held in lieu thereof with all the force and effect of an annual meeting.
Section 2.Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the president or by the board of directors and shall be called by the clerk, or in case of the death, absence, incapacity or refusal of the clerk, by any other officer, upon written application of one or more stockholders who hold at least one-tenth part in interest of the capital stock entitled to vote thereat. Such application shall specify the purposes for which the meeting is to be called and may designate the date, hour and place of such meeting, provided, however, that no such application shall designate a date not a full business day or an hour not within normal business hours as the date or hour of such meeting without the approval of the president or the board of directors.
Section 3.Place of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders may be held anywhere within, but not without, the United States.

Except as hereinafter provided, a written or printed notice of every meeting of stockholders stating the place, date, hour and purposes thereof shall be given by the clerk or an assistant clerk (or by any other officer in the case of an annual meeting or by the person or persons calling the meeting in the case of a special meeting) at least ten (10) days before the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat and to each stockholder who, by law, by the articles of organization or by these by-laws, is entitled to such notice, by leaving such notice with him or at his residence or usual place of business or by mailing it, postage prepaid, addressed to him at his address as it appears upon the records of the corporation. No notice of the place, date, hour or purposes of any annual or special meeting of stockholders need be given to a stockholder if a written waiver of such
notice, executed before or after the meeting by such stockholder or his attorney thereunto authorized, is filed with the records of the meeting.
Section 5.Action at a Meeting. Except as otherwise provided in the articles of organization, the presence of a quorum shall be separately determined with respect to each matter to be acted on at any meeting of stockholders, and shall consist of the holders of shares having the right to cast a majority of the votes which may be cast with respect to such matter. Though less than a quorum be present, any meeting may without further notice be adjourned to a subsequent date or until a quorum be had, and at any such adjourned meeting any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
When a quorum is present at any meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of stock present or represented and voting shall be necessary and sufficient to the determination of any questions brought before the meeting, unless a larger vote is required by law, by the articles of organization or by these by-laws, provided, however, that any election by stockholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote in such election.
Except as otherwise provided by law or by the articles or organization or by these by-laws, each holder of record of shares of stock entitled to vote on any matter shall have one vote for each such share held of record by him and a proportionate vote for any fractional shares so held by him. Stockholders may vote either in person or by proxy. No proxy dated more than six months before the meeting named therein shall be valid and no proxy shall be valid after the final adjournment of such meeting. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by anyone of them unless at or prior to the exercise of the proxy the corporation receives a specific written notice to the contrary from anyone of them. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a stockholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise and the burden of proving its invalidity shall rest on the challenger.
Any election by stockholders and the determination of any other questions to come before a meeting of the stockholders shall be by ballot if so requested by any stockholder entitled to vote thereon but need not be otherwise.
Section 6.Stockholder Proposals. Written notification of any stockholder proposal to be acted upon at an annual meeting of stockholders of the corporation must be provided to the corporation at least 120 calendar days in advance of the date of the corporation’s proxy statement released to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. Written notification of any stockholder proposal to be acted upon at any meeting of the stockholders of the corporation other than an annual meeting must be provided to the corporation at least 180 calendar days before the meeting at which such proposal is to be acted upon.
Section 7.Action by Written Consent. Any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at
any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and bearing the dates of signature of the stockholders who signed the consent or consents, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock 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 shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to the corporation’s principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book or books in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded.
