ARTICLE I — STOCKHOLDERS

        Section 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date, time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

        Section 2. Special Meetings. A special meeting of stockholders may be called by the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, or by stockholders holding in the aggregate at least twenty-five percent of the outstanding votes entitled to be cast by holders of the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock voting together without regard to class on the date such meeting is called.

        Section 3. Quorum and Required Vote. At any meeting of stockholders at which any action is to be taken (including the election of directors) by the vote of the holders of the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock voting together without regard to class in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by both such classes at the meeting shall constitute a quorum. With respect to the taking of any action (including, with respect to the Common Stock, the election of directors) as to which either the Common Stock or the Class B Common Stock is entitled to vote separately as a class pursuant to the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by such class voting separately as a class at the meeting shall constitute a quorum. Except as to the election of directors, at every such meeting at which a quorum is present for the taking of any action, a majority of the votes present or represented shall be necessary to take such action with the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock voting together without regard to class or separately as a class or classes as are prescribed by the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation. With respect to the election of directors, the persons receiving the greatest number of votes, in descending order, shall be elected for the positions to be filled. The absence of a quorum as provided for herein for the taking of any one or more action(s) shall not prevent the taking of any other action for which a quorum is present, but the presence of a quorum for the taking of any one or more action(s) shall not authorize the taking of any other action for which a quorum is not present.

        Section 4. Conduct of Meetings. The Board of Directors and/or the chair of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and, in the case of the chair of the meeting to do all such acts as are appropriate for

Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chair of the meeting, may include, without limitation: (a) the setting of the business for the meeting and the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (c) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to the stockholders of record of the Company, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chair shall permit; (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; (e) not requiring motions or seconding of motions and deeming directors nominated, or proposals made, by or under the authority of the Board of Directors to be properly before the meeting without further action; and (f) limitations and restrictions as to the content of and the time allotted, if any, to questions or comments by participants.

        Section 5. Notice of Stockholder Business. At any meeting of the stockholders, only such business, including proposals to be voted on (but excluding the nomination and election of directors, which are covered in Section 2 of Article III of these By-Laws) shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before the meeting, business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by a stockholder or stockholders holding, in the aggregate, at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding votes entitled to be cast by holders of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock voting together without regard to class, or (c) properly requested to be brought before the meeting by a stockholder. For business to be properly requested to be brought before a meeting by a stockholder pursuant to (c) above, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Company. To be timely, such written notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company (1) with respect to business to be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders, not later than the close of business on the 90th day or earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, and (2) with respect to business to be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders, not later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day following the day on which notice of such meeting was mailed to stockholders. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting: (i) the name and address of such stockholder; (ii) the class and number of shares of the Company’s stock which are beneficially owned by the stockholder; (iii) a brief description of the business or proposal desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such at the meeting; (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such business or proposal; and (v) such other information regarding such business or proposal as would be required to be included in a proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regardless of whether such other business or proposal may be included in any such proxy statement. No business shall be conducted at any meeting of stockholders except that which has been brought before such meeting in strict compliance with the terms and procedures of this Section.
