MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

Section 1.         Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders, for the election of directors and the transaction of any other business properly brought before the meeting, shall, unless the Board of Directors shall determine otherwise, be held at 8:00 a.m. on the last Thursday of October in each year, if not a legal holiday under the laws of the State of Delaware, and if a legal holiday, then on the next day which is not a legal holiday.

 

Section 2.         Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise proscribed by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, may be called by the Chief Executive Officer and shall be called by the Chief Executive Officer or Secretary at the request in writing of either a majority of the directors or the holders of a majority of the capital stock of the Corporation then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. The record date for determining the stockholders to request a special meeting is the date that the first stockholder signs the request. Any such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail to the Secretary of the Corporation. Upon receipt of such a request, the Board of Directors shall determine the date, time and place of such special meeting, which must be scheduled to be held on a date that is within 90 days of receipt by the Secretary of the request therefor, and the Secretary of the Corporation shall prepare a proper notice thereof. The business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may only be made at a special meeting of stockholders called by the Board of Directors at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof; or (b) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Article II, Section 2 is delivered to the Secretary, who is entitled to vote at the meeting, and upon such election and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in Article III, Section 4.

 

 

Section 3.         Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given, not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat by delivering a notice thereof to him personally, by electronic transmission, if allowed under the laws of Delaware, or by mailing such notice in a postage prepaid envelope directed to him at his address as it appears on the books of the Corporation, unless he shall have filed with the Secretary a written request that notices intended for him be sent to him at the address designated in such request. Notice shall be in writing and shall state the time when and the place where it is to be held. In the case of special meetings, the notice shall also indicate that it is being issued by or at the direction of the person or persons calling the meeting and shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of any adjourned meeting of stockholders shall not be required to be given except where expressly required by law or as required by Section 6 of this Article II.

 

Section 4.         Place, Date and Time of Meeting. Meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such place, date and time as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. If the Board shall not fix a place for such meetings, they shall be held at the principal executive offices of the Corporation in Salem, New Hampshire.

 

Section 5.         List of Stockholders. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the meeting and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

 

Section 6.         Quorum; Adjournments. Except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If however, such quorum shall not be present at any meeting of stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days or, if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

 

Section 7.         Voting; Proxies. When a quorum is obtained at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the capital stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any matters brought before such meeting, unless the matter is one upon which, by express provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall, at every meeting of stockholders, be entitled to one vote for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder and present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. No proxy shall be voted after three years from its date unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Except as otherwise provided by law, at elections of directors at an annual or special meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present, a director shall, except in a contested election, be elected by a majority of the votes cast in favor of such nominee by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election. In a contested election, a director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in favor of such nominee by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election. An election shall be considered to be contested if, as of the record date for such meeting, there are more nominees for election than positions on the Board to be filled by election at that meeting.

 

Section 8.         Organization of Meetings. At every meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board, or in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the President or in the absence of both the Chairman of the Board and the President, a Vice President, or in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the President and all the Vice Presidents, a chairman chosen by the stockholders, shall act as chairman and presiding officer; and the Secretary, or in his absence, a person appointed by the chairman, shall act as secretary. The Board of Directors may, to the extent not prohibited by law, adopt by resolution any rules and regulations for the conduct of an annual meeting or special meeting as it deems appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to act or to prescribe any rules, regulations, or procedures as the chairman of the meeting deems appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations, or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may to the extent not prohibited by law include, without limitation, the following: (a) 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 stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies (which shall be reasonable in number) or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the meeting's commencement; (e) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; (f) rules and procedures regarding the execution of election ballots before or after the time fixed for the commencement of the meeting; (g) the appointment of an inspector of election or an officer or agent of the Corporation authorized to tabulate votes; and (h) rules and procedures to facilitate the conduct of, and participation in, the meeting by electronic means. The chairman of the meeting shall determine the time at which the polls shall close for each matter to be voted on at any annual meeting or special meeting but shall not be obligated to announce the closing of such polls at any annual meeting or special meeting or otherwise.

 

Section 9.         Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or as required under Delaware law, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by the holders of all the outstanding stock of the Corporation.

 

 

Section 10.         Notice of Stockholder Business at Annual Meeting. The following provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to the conduct of business at any annual meeting of stockholders. As used in this Section 10, Article II, Section 11 and Article III, Section 4, the term annual meeting shall include a special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting.

person or any of its affiliates or associates with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, and a representation that the stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing of any such agreement, arrangement or understanding in effect as of the record date for the meeting not later than five business days following the later of the record date or the date that notice of the record date is first publicly disclosed, (E) a description of any material interest of such stockholder of record and/or of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, in such proposed business and any material interests of any other stockholders or beneficial owners known by such stockholder to be supporting such proposal in such proposed business, to the extent known by

proxies from stockholders in support of other proposal, and (Q) all other information relating to the proposed business which may be required to be disclosed under applicable law.

 

 

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article II, Section 10, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section.

 

(d)

This Article II, Section 10 shall not apply to a proposal proposed to be made by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of the stockholder's intention to present the proposal at an annual or special meeting only pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and such proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such meeting.

 

(e)

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article II, Section 10, stockholder nominations of directors shall be subject to the provisions of Article III, Section 4 of these By-Laws.

 

Section 11.         General Provisions Regarding Nominations of Directors and Notice of Business at Stockholder Meetings.

 

If the presiding officer of the annual meeting determines that a stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the terms of these By-Laws, he or she shall so declare at the annual meeting and any such proposal shall not be acted upon at the annual meeting.

 

Article II, Section 10 shall not prevent the consideration and approval or disapproval at the annual meeting of reports of officers, directors and committees of the Board of Directors, but, in connection with such reports, no business shall be acted upon at such annual meeting unless stated, filed and received as herein provided.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Article II, Section 10, and Article III, Section 4, if the stockholder (or qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the meeting to present a nomination or other business, as the case may be, such nomination shall be disregarded and such other business shall not be considered, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of Article II, Section 10 and Article III, Section 4, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be authorized by a written instrument executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting and such person must produce such written instrument or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the written instrument or electronic transmission, at the meeting.

 

 

ARTICLE III

 

DIRECTORS

 

Section 1.         Number and Term of Office. The Board of Directors shall be composed of not less than seven nor more than fifteen directors, as fixed by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors from time to time. If the Board of Directors increases the number of directors, any director appointed to fill the vacancy created by such increase shall be submitted to a vote of the stockholders at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the next paragraph or elsewhere in these By-Laws, no change in the number of directors shall result in the removal of any director prior to the expiration of their term of office or the reduction of their term of office. The directors shall be elected at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article III. Directors need not be stockholders.

 

The directors shall be divided into three classes: Class I, Class II, and Class III. Such classes shall be as nearly equal in number as possible. The term of office of the Class I directors shall expire at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 1981; the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 1980; the term of office of the Class III directors will expire at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 1979; or in each case thereafter when their respective successors are elected and have qualified or upon their earlier death, resignation or removal. At each annual election held after classification and the initial election of directors according to classes, the directors chosen to succeed those whose terms then expire shall be identified as being of the same class as the directors they succeed and shall be elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding Annual Meeting of Stockholders or in each case thereafter when their respective successors are elected and have qualified or upon their earlier death, resignation or removal. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease in directors shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain all classes as nearly equal in number as possible and any individual director elected to any such class shall hold office for a term which shall coincide with the term of such class.

 

Section 2.         Resignations; Removals. Any director may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board of Directors, to the Chief Executive Officer or to the Secretary. Any such resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of such notice or at any later time specified therein, and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. A director may be removed from office only for cause, by vote of the stockholders or by action of the Board.

 

Section 3.         Vacancies. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and any director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen, and until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by statute. If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office shall constitute less than a majority of the whole board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten percent of the total number of shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office.

 

 

Section 4.         Nomination of Directors. The following provisions of this Section 4 shall apply to the nomination of persons for election to the board of directors at any annual meeting. As used in this Article III, Section 4 the term annual meeting shall include a special meeting at which directors are to be elected pursuant to Article II, Section 2.

 

(a)

At any annual meeting of stockholders, only persons nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4 shall be eligible to be elected and serve as directors. Nominations for election to the Board of Directors at a meeting of stockholders may be made (a) by, or at the direction of, the Board of Directors or (b) by any stockholder of the Corporation who (i) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 4, (ii) submits a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement as provided in Article III, Section 4(c) of these By-laws, and (iii) is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of such notice and is entitled to vote at such meeting.

 

(b)

Nominations other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received in writing by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) calendar days but not more than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days before the anniversary of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials for the prior year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the current year’s annual meeting has been accelerated more than thirty (30) calendar days or delayed more than ninety (90) calendar days from the anniversary of the date of the prior year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be so received not later than the close of business on the later of one hundred twenty (120) calendar days in advance of such annual meeting or ten (10) calendar days following the date on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made. In no event shall the announcement of an adjournment or postponement of any annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Section. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director (A) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or would otherwise be required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in a proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director (if elected), and (B) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee or any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nominations are to be made by the stockholder;

Any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions regarding certificates for stock, the Chairman of the Board or the President or any Vice President and the Treasurer or the Secretary of the Corporation may provide that the Corporation's stock may be uncertificated.

 

 

Section 2.         Transfers of Stock. Transfers of stock shall be made only on the books of the Corporation by the owner thereof or by his attorney thereunto authorized. Uncertificated shares of stock may be transferred in accordance with such rules and regulations as the Chairman of the Board, the President, or any Vice President and the Treasurer or the Secretary of the Corporation may deem expedient concerning such transfer.

 

Section 3.         Registered Stockholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize, for all purposes, the person registered on its books as the owner of a share or shares and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

The Corporation may, if and whenever the Board of Directors so determines, maintain, in the State of Delaware or any other state of the United States, one or more transfer offices or agencies, each in charge of a Transfer Agent designated by the Board, where the stock of the Corporation shall be transferable. If the Corporation maintains one or more such transfer offices or agencies, it also may, if and whenever the Board of Directors so determines, maintain one or more registry offices, each in charge of a registrar designated by the Board, where such stock shall be registered.

ARTICLE VI

 

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Section 1.         Right to Indemnification. The corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted to the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), any person (a "Covered Person") who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director, or officer, of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, or officer, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, or officer against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Covered Person in connection therewith. Such indemnification shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director, or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article VI with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Covered Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

 

The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise.

 

Section 2.         Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 of this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

Section 3.         Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

 

Section 4.         Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Section 5.         Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article VI shall not adversely affect any right or prosecution of a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

 

 

ARTICLE VII

 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 1.         Dividends. Dividends upon the capital stock of the Corporation, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, if any, may be declared by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in certificated or uncertificated shares of the capital stock of the Corporation, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

 

Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, deem proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for such other purpose as the directors shall deem conducive to the interests of the Corporation, and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

 

Section 2.         Checks and Notes. All checks or demands for money and notes of the Corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.

 

Section 3.         Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall begin on the first day of July in each year.

 

Section 4.         Seal. The corporate seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Corporation, the year of its organization and the words "Corporate Seal, Delaware". The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.

 

Section 5.         Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of Delaware law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation.

 

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

AMENDMENTS

 

Except to the extent otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws may be altered, amended, supplemented or repealed by 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote or two-thirds of the directors in office at any regular meeting, or at any special meeting if notice of such alteration, amendment, supplement or repeal is contained in the notice of such special meeting.
