1. The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of
the corporation shall be vested in its Board of Directors. The number of
directors that shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed
exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors.
2. Board of Directors
a. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of
Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances,
following the closing of the initial public offering pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), covering the offer and sale of Common Stock to the public (the "Initial
Public Offering"), the directors shall be divided into three classes designated
as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. Directors shall be assigned to
each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board
of Directors. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, the term of office of the Class I directors
shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three
years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Initial Public
Offering, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II
directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual
meeting of stockholders following the Initial Public Offering, the term of
office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be
elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of
stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to
succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting.
During such time or times that the corporation is subject to Section
2.
2115(b) of the California General Corporation Law ("CGCL"), this Section A.2.a
of this Article V shall not be effective and Section A.2.b of this Article shall
apply.
b. In the event that the corporation is subject to Section
2115(b) of the CGCL, Section A.2.a of this Article V shall not apply and all
directors shall be shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to
hold office until the next annual meeting.
c. No person entitled to vote at an election for directors may
cumulate votes to which such person is entitled, unless, at the time of such
election, the corporation (i) is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL and (ii)
is not a "listed" corporation or ceases to be a "listed" corporation under
Section 301.5 of the CGCL. During this time, every stockholder entitled to vote
at an election for directors may cumulate such stockholder's votes and give one
candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected
multiplied by the number of votes to which such stockholder's shares are
otherwise entitled, or distribute the stockholder's votes on the same principle
among as many candidates as such stockholder thinks fit. No stockholder,
however, shall be entitled to so cumulate such stockholder's votes unless (i)
the names of such candidate or candidates have been placed in nomination prior
to the voting and (ii) the stockholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to
the voting, of such stockholder's intention to cumulate such stockholder's
votes. If any stockholder has given proper notice to cumulate votes, all
stockholders may cumulate their votes for any candidates who have been properly
placed in nomination. Under cumulative voting, the candidates receiving the
highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, are
elected.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, each director shall
serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his death,
resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the
Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
3. Removal of Directors
a. During such time or times that the corporation is subject to
Section 2115(b) of the CGCL, the Board of Directors or any individual director
may be removed from office at any time without cause by the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on
such removal; provided, however, that unless the entire Board is removed, no
individual director may be removed when the votes cast against such director's
removal, or not consenting in writing to such removal, would be sufficient to
elect that director if voted cumulatively at an election which the same total
number of votes were cast (or, if such action is taken by written consent, all
shares entitled to vote were voted) and the entire number of directors
authorized at the time of such director's most recent election were then being
elected.
b. At any time or times that the corporation is not subject to
Section 2115(b) of the CGCL and subject to any limitations imposed by law,
Section A.3.a. above shall no longer apply and removal shall be as provided in
Section 141(k) of the DGCL.
4. Vacancies
3.
a. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of
Preferred Stock, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death,
resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, shall,
unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies
or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders, except as
otherwise provided by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority
of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of
Directors, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with
the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of
the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such
director's successor shall have been elected and qualified.

directorship, the directors then in office shall constitute less than a majority

stockholders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the total number of the
shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors,
summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly
created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then
in offices as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by Section 211 of the
DGCL.
c. At any time or times that the corporation is subject to
Section 2115(b) of the CGCL, if, after the filling of any vacancy by the
directors then in office who have been elected by stockholders shall constitute
less than a majority of the directors then in office, then
(i) Any holder or holders of an aggregate of five
percent (5%) or more of the total number of shares at the time outstanding
having the right to vote for those directors may call a special meeting of
stockholders; or
(ii) The Superior Court of the proper county shall,
upon application of such stockholder or stockholders, summarily order a special
meeting of stockholders, to be held to elect the entire board, all in accordance
