Section 3.9 Committees. (a) Executive Committee: The Board of Directors may appoint an Executive Committee to consist of one (1) or more members of the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee, to the extent permitted by law, shall have and may exercise when the Board of Directors is not in session all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, except such committee shall not have the power or authority to adopt, amend or repeal these Bylaws or to approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action which must be submitted to stockholders for approval under the DGCL. (b) Other Committees: The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, from time to time appoint such other committees as may be permitted by law. Such other committees appointed by the Board of Directors shall consist of one (1) or more members of the Board of Directors and shall have such powers and perform such duties as may be prescribed by the resolution or resolutions creating such committees, but in no event shall any such committees have the powers denied to the Executive Committee in these Bylaws. (c) Term: The members of all committees of the Board of Directors shall serve a term coexistent with that of the Board of Directors which shall have appointed such committee. The Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 3.9, may at any time increase or decrease the number of members of a committee or terminate the existence of a committee; provided, that no committee shall consist of less than one (1) member. The membership of a committee member shall terminate on the date of his death or voluntary resignation, but the Board of Directors may at any time for any reason remove any individual committee member and the Board of Directors may fill any committee vacancy created by death, resignation, removal or increase in the number of members of the committee. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee and, in addition, in the absence or disqualification of any member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.
(a) (d) Meetings: Unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise provide, regular meetings of the Executive Committee or any other committee appointed pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall be held at such times and places, either within or without the State of Delaware, as are determined by the Board of Directors or such committee, and when notice thereof has been given to each member of such committee, no further notice of such regular meetings need be given thereafter. Special meetings of any such committee may be held at any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, which has been designated from time to time by resolution of such committee or by written consent of all members thereof, either orally or in writing, by telephone, including a voice-messaging system or other system designed to record and communicate messages, facsimile, telegraph or telex, or by electronic mail or other electronic means, and may be called by any director who is a member of such committee, upon written notice to the members of such committee of the time and place of such special meeting given in the manner provided for the giving of written notice to members of the Board of Directors of the time and place of special meetings of the Board of Directors. Any member of any committee may participate in a meeting of such committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Notice of any special meeting of any committee may be waived in writing, or by electronic transmission, at any time after the meeting and will be waived by any director by attendance thereat, except when the director attends such special meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the special meeting is not lawfully called or convened. A majority of the authorized number of members of any such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee. This excerpt taken from the ABII 8-K filed Nov 8, 2007. Committees According to our by-laws, our board of directors will be permitted to establish committees from time to time as it deems appropriate. Initially, to make the most effective use of the directors time and capabilities, it is expected that our board of directors will establish two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Audit Committee. We expect that the audit committee will consist of Kirk K. Calhoun, David S. Chen and Leonard Shapiro, each of whom we expect will be independent as defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Kirk Calhoun is expected to be the chairman of the audit committee. We expect that the board of directors will determine that Mr. Calhoun meets the SECs definition of audit committee financial expert based on his prior experience as a partner of a major public accounting firm. The audit committee will review our financial reporting process and the integrity of our financial statements, the system of internal controls, the internal and external audit process and the process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations. The audit committee is also expected to have the responsibility to review, consider and approve related party transactions. Compensation Committee. We expect that the compensation committee will consist of David S. Chen and Stephen D. Nimer, each of whom we expect will be independent as defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. The Compensation Committees responsibilities are expected to include (i) determining the salary and bonus of corporate officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) acting as administrator to our stock incentive plans, and exercising the authority conferred by the board concerning such plans. | EXCERPTS ON THIS PAGE:
