ARTICLE V
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
5.1 Place of Meetings
(a) Meetings (whether regular, special or adjourned) of the shareholders of the Corporation shall be held at the principal executive office
for the transaction of business of the Corporation, or at any place within or without the State which may be designated by written consent of all
the shareholders entitled to vote thereat, or which may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors. Any meeting shall be valid
wherever held if held by the written consent of all the shareholders entitled to vote thereat, given either before or after the meeting and filed with
the Secretary.
(b) A meeting of the shareholders may be conducted in whole or in part, by electronic transmission by and to the Corporation or by
electronic video screen communication if:
(i) the Corporation implements reasonable measures to provide shareholders (in person or by proxy) a reasonable opportunity to
participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the shareholders; and
(ii) the Corporation maintains a record of the vote or action and any shareholder votes or other shareholder action is taken at the
meeting by means of electronic transmission to the Corporation or electronic video screen communication.
Any request by the Corporation to a shareholder under Section 20(b) of the Code for consent to conduct a meeting of shareholders by
electronic transmission must include a notice that absent consent of the shareholder, the meeting will be held at a physical location.
5.2 Annual Meetings
An annual meeting of shareholders shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated by the Board of Directors. The annual meeting
shall be held for the purpose of electing directors and for making reports of the affairs of the Corporation. Any other proper business may be
transacted at the annual meeting of shareholders.
5.3 Special Meetings
Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes whatsoever may be called at any time by the President or by the Board of
Directors, or by two or more members thereof, or by one or more holders of shares entitled to cast not less than ten percent (10%) of the votes on
the record date established pursuant to Section 5.9 of these Bylaws. Upon request in writing sent by registered mail to the Chief Executive
Officer, President, Vice President or Secretary, or delivered to any such officer in person, by any person or persons entitled to call a special
meeting of shareholders (such request, if sent by a shareholder or shareholders, to include the information required by Section 5.14 of these
Bylaws), it shall be the duty of such officer, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, to cause notice to be given to the shareholders
entitled to vote that a meeting will be requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, the date of which meeting, which shall be set by
such officer, to be not less than thirty-five (35) days nor more than sixty (60) days after such request or, if applicable, determination of the
validity of such request pursuant to the immediately succeeding sentence. Within seven (7) days after receiving such a written request from a
shareholder or shareholders of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall determine whether shareholders owning not less than ten percent
(10%) of the shares as of the record date established pursuant to Section 5.9 of these Bylaws for such request support the call of a special
meeting and notify the requesting party or parties of its finding. Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 5.3 shall be construed as
limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of shareholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.
