writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether signed before, during or after the time of the meeting stated therein, and delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of (a) lack of or defective notice of such meeting, unless the person objects at the beginning to the holding of the meeting or the transacting of any business at the meeting, or (b) lack of defective notice of a particular matter at a meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the person objects to considering such matter when it is presented.
Section 6. Business of Special Meeting of Stockholders. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be confined to the purposes stated in the notice thereof.
Section 7. Quorum. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of such shares exists with respect to that matter. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by law, a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the matter by each voting group, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders, but in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one-third (1/3) of the shares of each voting group entitled to vote. If less than a majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. After a quorum has been established at any stockholders’ meeting, the subsequent withdrawal of stockholders, so as to reduce the number of shares entitled to vote at the meeting below the number required for a quorum, shall not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.
Section 8. Voting Per Share. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by law, each stockholder is entitled to one (1) vote for each outstanding share held by him, her or it on each matter voted at a stockholders’ meeting.
Section 9. Voting of Shares. A stockholder may vote at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by the officer, agent or proxy designated by the bylaws of such corporate stockholder or, in the absence of any applicable bylaw, by such person or persons as the Board of Directors of the corporate stockholder may designate. In the absence of any such designation, or, in case of conflicting designation by the corporate stockholder, the chairman of the board, the president, the any vice president, the secretary and the treasurer of the corporate stockholder, in that order, shall be presumed to be fully authorized to vote such shares. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, personal representative, or conservator may be voted by him, her or it, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his, her or its name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, her or it, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him, her or it without a transfer of such shares into his, her or its name or the name of his, her or its nominee. Shares held by or under the control of a receiver, a trustee in bankruptcy proceedings, or an assignee for the benefit of creditors may be voted by such person without the transfer thereof into his, her or its name. If shares stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary of the Corporation is given notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, then acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one votes, in person or by proxy, his, her or its act binds all; (b) if more than one vote, in person or by proxy, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one vote, in person or by proxy, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction is entitled to vote the share or shares in question proportionally; or (d) if the instrument or order so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interest, a majority or a vote evenly split for purposes hereof shall be a majority or a vote evenly split in interest. The principles of this paragraph shall apply, insofar as possible, to execution of proxies, waivers, consents, or objections and for the purpose of ascertaining the presence of a quorum.
Section 10. Proxies by Stockholders. Any stockholder of the Corporation, other person entitled to vote on behalf of a stockholder pursuant to law, or attorney-in-fact for such persons may vote the stockholder’s shares in person or by proxy. Any stockholder of the Corporation may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for him, her or it by signing an appointment form, either personally or by his, her or its attorney-in-fact.
