The Secretary of the corporation, or in the Secretary’s absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of every meeting of the stockholders, but if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at the meeting shall choose any person present thereat to act as secretary of the meeting.

Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, all matters coming before any meeting of the stockholders shall be decided by the vote of a majority in interest of the stockholders present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting and entitled to vote, a quorum being present.
