vote thereon at a meeting held for that purpose. Such notice shall be given in the manner of
giving notice of a meeting of shareholders not less than twenty days nor more than fifty days

inspectors shall be appointed as provided herein.

ARTICLE V

DIRECTORS

     Section 1. The number of directors shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the
Board of Directors, provided that the Board of Directors shall consist of at least one member.
Directors need not be residents of the State of Connecticut nor shareholders of the corporation.
The directors, other than the first board of directors, shall be elected at the annual meeting of
the shareholders, and each director elected shall serve until the next succeeding annual meeting

     Section 2. Unless otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation, any vacancy
occurring in the board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number
of directors, may be filled: (1) by the shareholders; (2) by the board of directors; or (3) if the
directors remaining in office constitute less than a quorum of the board, they may fill the vacancy
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors remaining in office.

     If the vacant office was held by a director elected by a voting group of shareholders, only
the holders of shares of that voting group are entitled to vote to fill the

 

 

vacancy if it is filled by the shareholders.

     A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date, by reason of a resignation effective at a
later date or otherwise, may be filled before the vacancy occurs but the new director may not take

     Section l. Meetings of the board of directors, regular or special, may be held either within
or without the State of Connecticut.

     Section 2. The first meeting of each newly elected board of directors shall be held at such
time and place as shall be fixed by the vote of the shareholders at the annual meeting and no
notice of such meeting shall be necessary to the newly elected directors in order legally to
constitute the meeting, provided a quorum shall be present, or it may convene at such place and
time as shall be fixed by the consent in writing of all the directors.

     Section 3. Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held upon such notice, or without
notice, and at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the board.

bylaws; special meetings shall be called by the president or secretary in like manner and on like
notice on the written request of two directors.

     Section 5. A director’s attendance at or participation in any meeting waives any required
notice to him or her of such meeting unless the director at the beginning of the meeting, or
promptly upon his or her arrival, objects to holding the meeting or

 

 

transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at
the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special
meeting of the board of directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such
meeting.

     Section 6. A majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business unless a greater number is required by law or by the certificate of incorporation. The
act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the
act of the board of directors, unless the act of a greater number is required by law or by the
certificate of incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of directors, the
directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than
announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

     Section 7. Except to the extent that the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws
specifically require that action by the board of directors be taken only at a meeting, any action
required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors may be taken without a meeting if each
director signs a consent describing the action taken or to be taken and delivers it to the
corporation.

ARTICLE VII

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

     Section l. Unless the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or a provision of law
provides otherwise, the board of directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the number of
directors fixed by the bylaws or otherwise, may designate one or more directors to constitute an

these bylaws or such resolution, shall have and exercise all of the powers of the board of
directors in the management of the corporation except as otherwise restricted by law. Vacancies in
the membership of the committee shall be filled by the board of directors at a regular or special

electronic transmission is written notice. Notice may be communicated in person, by mail or other
method of delivery, or by telephone, voice mail or other electronic means. If these forms of

     Section 2. Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given by law or by the certificate
of incorporation or by these bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons
entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed
equivalent to the giving of such notice.

issue.

LOST CERTIFICATES

     Section 3. The board of directors may direct a new certificate to be issued in place of any
certificate theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost or destroyed. When
authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the board of directors, in its discretion and as a

expedient, and may require such indemnities as it deems adequate, to protect the corporation from
any claim that may be made against it with respect to any such certificate alleged to have been
lost or destroyed.

demand a special meeting, to vote, or to take any other action. The record date may not be more
than seventy days before the meeting or action requiring a determination of shareholders. A
determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a shareholders’ meeting is

alphabetical list of the names of all its shareholders who are entitled to notice of a
shareholders’ meeting, which list (1) shall be arranged by voting group and within each voting

meeting, at the corporation’s principal office or at a place identified in the meeting notice in
the city where the meeting will be held; and (3) shall be made available by the corporation at the
