Corporation is required to obtain the consent of any governmental agency prior
to the election of any person nominated by a stockholder or if the Board of
Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors determines that a nominee
if elected would jeopardize the retention of any authorization, license or
permit held by the Corporation issued by a governmental agency, the Board of
Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors may strike such nominee
from the ballot or determine not to place the nominee on the ballot.

to the newly elected Directors in order to legally constitute the meeting,
provided that a quorum is present. In the event of failure of the stockholders
to fix the time and place of such first meeting of the newly elected Board of
Directors, or in the event such meeting is not held at such time and place so
fixed by the stockholders, the meeting may be held at such time and place as
shall be specified in a notice given as hereinafter provided for special

writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or
committee.
SECTION 8. MEETINGS BY MEANS OF CONFERENCE TELEPHONE. Unless otherwise
provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, members of the

disqualified member. Each committee, having more than one Director as a member
shall elect a Director on such committee as the Chairperson of such committee.
Any committee, to the extent allowed by statute and as expressly provided in the
resolution establishing such committee, shall have and may exercise all the
powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business

Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other
organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are Directors or
Officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for
this reason, or solely because the Director or Officer is present at or
participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which
authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because such Director's or
Officer's or their votes are counted for such purpose if (i) the material facts
as to such Director's or Officer's or their relationship or interest and as to
the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors
or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith

which authorizes the contract or transaction.
