Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or to another corporation, if a
majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, will neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the
foregoing will not limit the right of the corporation or any subsidiary of the corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.
2.5. ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE
Any stockholders meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the
majority of the shares represented at that meeting, either in person or by proxy. In the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at that meeting except as provided in Section 2.4 of these bylaws.
When any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place (including an adjournment taken to address a
technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication), notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, if any, date and time thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and
proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are: (i) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; (ii) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic
network used to enable stockholders and proxyholders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication; or (iii) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with Section 2.3 of these bylaws. However, if a new record
date for the adjourned meeting is fixed or if the adjournment is for more than 30 days from the date set for the original meeting, then notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given. Notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 of these bylaws. At any adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the
original meeting.
2.6. VOTING
The
stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9 of these bylaws. Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each outstanding share,
regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders.
If a quorum is present, on
each matter other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and actually cast on such subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the
vote of a greater number or a vote by classes is required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation.
Each director to be elected by
stockholders shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and actually cast with respect to the director; provided, however, that if the board of directors
determines that the election is contested then directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.
For the purposes of this Section 2.6, a majority of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the
meeting and actually cast shall mean that the number of shares voted for a directors election exceeds 50% of the number of votes actually cast with respect to that directors election. Votes actually cast shall include
votes where the authority to cast a vote for the directors election is explicitly withheld and exclude abstentions with respect to that directors election.
