herein shall prohibit the Company from submitting matters to a vote of the shareholders at any shareholder requested special meeting.
(i) If none of the Shareholders who submitted the request for a Shareholder requested special meeting appears or sends a
qualified representative to present the matters to be presented for consideration that were specified in the special meeting request, the
Company need not present such matters for a vote at such meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matter may have
been received by the Company.
Section 3. Notice of Meetings. Written notice or notice by electronic transmission of the date, time, place and purpose or
purposes the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at such meeting of the shareholders shall be given in the manner
described in Article V. If a shareholder or proxy holder may be present and vote at a meeting by remote communication, the means of
remote communication allowed shall be included in the notice. Notice of a special meeting shall also indicate that it is being issued by
or at the direction of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Presiding Director, if one has been designated, or the
holders of Requisite Percentage of the outstanding shares of stock of the Company.
Notice of a meeting need not be given to any shareholder who submits a signed waiver of notice, in person or by proxy, or a
waiver of notice by electronic transmission, whether before or after the meeting. The attendance of any shareholder at a meeting, in
person or by proxy, will result in both of the following:
(a) Waiver of objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the
meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and
(b) Waiver of objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes
described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.
Section 4. Adjournments. Any meeting of shareholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the
same or some other place. Notice need not be given of any adjourned meeting if the new date, time and place of the meeting are
announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. A shareholder or proxy holder may be present and vote at the adjourned
meeting by means of remote communication if he or she were permitted to be present and vote by that means of remote communication
in the original meeting notice. If a notice of the adjourned meeting is not given, the Company may only transact business that might
have been transacted at the original meeting. If, after the adjournment, the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned
meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder entitled to notice under these Bylaws as of the new
record date.
Section 5. Quorum. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting, whether present in person or by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders. If at any meeting there shall be no quorum, the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of stock so present or represented shall have the power to adjourn the meeting, without notice other than
announcement at the meeting of the new meeting time and place, until a quorum has been obtained. When a quorum is present, the
shareholders present in person or by proxy at such meeting may continue
