ARTICLE VI — LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY
To the fullest extent that the DGCL or any other law of the State of Delaware (as they exist on the date hereof or as they may hereafter be amended) permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, no director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. No amendment to, or modification or repeal of, this Article VI shall adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing hereunder with respect to any state of facts existing or act or omission occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article VI, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal. If, after this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the DGCL or such other law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or such other law, as so amended.
ARTICLE VII — MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
(a) No Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation may be effected only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Subject to any rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by or at the direction of the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire Board of Directors. Any business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.
(c) Election of Directors by Written Ballot. Election of directors need not be by written ballot.
ARTICLE VIII — AMENDMENTS TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by law, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation subject to the power of the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote with respect thereto to make, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation and provided that, for so long as a Principal Stockholder has the right to designate a director for nomination to the Board of Directors pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the consent of such Principal Stockholder shall be required to make, alter, amend or repeal Sections 1.2(i), 2.4 or 2.5 of the bylaws of the Corporation; provided, that with respect to the powers of stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to make, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation, in addition to any other vote otherwise required by law, (i) the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote with respect thereto, voting together as a single class, shall be required to make, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation and (ii) for so long as a Principal Stockholder has the right to nominate a director to the Board of Directors pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the consent of such Principal Stockholder shall be required to make, alter, amend or repeal Sections 1.2(i), 2.4 or 2.5 of the bylaws of the Corporation.
