Section 2.4. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by:

Section 2.7. VOTING LISTS. The officer or agent having charge of the share transfer records for shares of the Corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of all shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting, with the address of and the number of shares held by each shareholder.

Section 2.8. QUORUM OF SHAREHOLDERS. A quorum shall be present for action on any matter at a shareholder meeting if a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy.

Shareholders entitled to vote that attend a meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected that was previously adjourned for lack of a quorum, even if less than a quorum, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing directors.

 

3

 

Those shareholders entitled to vote who attend a meeting of shareholders for a purpose other than the election of directors that was previously adjourned for one or more periods aggregating at least fifteen (15) days for lack of a quorum, even if less than a quorum, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purposes of acting upon any matter set forth in the notice of the meeting if the notice states that the shareholders who attend the adjourned meeting shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of acting upon the matter.

 

Section 2.9. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of the shareholders, as it deems appropriate. At every meeting of the shareholders, the Chair of the Board, or in their absence or inability to act, a director or officer designated by the Board of Directors, shall serve as the presiding officer of the meeting. The Secretary or, in their absence or inability to act, the person whom the presiding officer of the meeting shall appoint secretary of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

 

The presiding officer shall determine the order of business and, in the absence of a rule adopted by the Board of Directors, shall establish rules for the conduct of the meeting. The presiding officer shall announce the close of the polls for each matter voted upon at the meeting, after which no ballots, proxies, votes, changes, or revocations will be accepted. Polls for all matters before the meeting will be deemed to be closed upon final adjournment of the meeting.

 

Section 2.10. JUDGES OF ELECTION. The Board of Directors may appoint a judge of election in advance of any shareholders’ meeting to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If a judge of election is not so appointed, the presiding officer of the meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder shall, appoint a judge of election at the meeting. One judge shall be appointed. Judges need not be shareholders, but no candidate for director shall serve as a judge.

 

The judge of election shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies, receive votes or ballots, hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, determine the result, and do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. The judges of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability, and as expeditiously as is practical.

 

On request of the presiding officer or any shareholder or shareholders’ proxy, the judge shall make a report in record form of any challenge or question or matter determined by the judge and execute a certificate of any fact found by the judge.

 

Section 2.11. VOTING OF SHARES. Each outstanding share shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders, except to the extent that the Articles of Incorporation provide for more or less than one vote per share or limits or denies voting rights to the holders of the shares. The shareholders of the Corporation shall not have the power or right to cumulate their votes unless the BCL or the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise.

 

If a quorum of a voting group exists, favorable action on a matter, other than the election of directors, will be approved by a voting group if the votes cast within the group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless a greater or lesser number of votes is required by law or a greater number of votes is required by the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws or a resolution of the Board of Directors requiring receipt of a greater affirmative vote of the shareholders, including more separate voting groups.

 

4

 

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

 

Section 2.12. VOTING BY PROXY OR NOMINEE. A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy executed in record form by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney-in-fact. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes. No proxy shall be valid after three years from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

 

A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest as defined by Pennsylvania law. An appointment made irrevocable is revoked when the interest with which it is coupled is extinguished. The death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing a proxy shall not affect the right of the Corporation to accept the proxy’s authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises its authority under the appointment.

 

A person holding shares in a representative or fiduciary capacity may vote such shares without a transfer of such shares into such person’s name. However, the Corporation may (a) request that the person provide evidence of this capacity acceptable to the Corporation or (b) establish a procedure by which the beneficial owner of shares that are registered in the name of a nominee is recognized by the Corporation as the shareholder. The Board of Directors may alternatively establish by resolution a procedure by which a shareholder may certify in record form that all or a portion of the shares registered in the name of the shareholder are held for the account of a specified person to be recognized by the Corporation as the shareholder.

 

Section 2.13. ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action required or permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if, prior to or after the action, a consent or consents thereto are signed by shareholders that would have been entitled to cast at least the minimum number of votes required to take the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting.

 

The consent or consents shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation for inclusion with the records of meetings of shareholders of the Corporation.

A director entitled to notice of a meeting may deliver a waiver of notice to the Corporation in record form or by electronic transmission either before or after the time of the meeting. A director’s participation or attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice, except where the director attends for the specific purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

Section 3.10. QUORUM AND ACTION OF DIRECTORS. A majority of the number of directors as fixed in these bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The act of a majority of the directors present and voting at a meeting at which a quorum is present at the time of the act shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless the act of a greater number is required by applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws.

 

The directors at a meeting for which a quorum is not present may adjourn the meeting until a time and place as may be determined by a vote of the directors present at that meeting.
