Section 2.2            Special MeetingA special meeting of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, by the President, or by three directors, and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President, or the Secretary of the Corporation upon receipt of one or more written demands (which shall state the purpose or purposes therefor) signed and dated by the holders of shares representing not less than [one-tenth] of all votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of shareholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of such meeting.

 

Section 2.3            Notice of Shareholders’ Meetings.

 

(a)           Notice of the place, if any, date, and time of all meetings of the shareholders, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which shareholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, shall be given, not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law.  In the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall also be set forth in the notice.  Notice may be given by mail or by electronic transmission in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Oregon Business Corporation Act.  If mailed, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to each shareholder at such shareholder’s address appearing on the books of the Corporation or given by the shareholder for such purpose.  Notice by electronic transmission shall be deemed given when electronically transmitted to the shareholder in a manner authorized in writing by the shareholder.  An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any shareholders’ meeting, executed by the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or any transfer agent of the Corporation giving the notice, shall be prima facie evidence of the giving of such notice or report.

 



 

(b)           If at any meeting action is proposed to be taken which, if taken, would entitle shareholders to an appraisal of the fair value of their shares under the relevant provisions of the Oregon Business Corporation Act (which govern the applicability of dissenters’ appraisal rights to, among other transactions, certain mergers, share exchanges, and sales of all or substantially all of the properties of the Corporation), the notice of such meeting shall contain a statement of that purpose and to that effect and shall be accompanied by the relevant sections of the Oregon Business Corporation Act.

 

(c)           When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, if any, date and time thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which shareholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than 120 days after the date for which the meeting was originally called, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the place, if any, date, and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communications, if any, by which shareholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting shall be given in conformity herewith.

 

(d)           A shareholder may at any time waive notice of the time, place and purpose of any meeting of shareholders (or any notice required by the Oregon Business Corporation Act, the Restated Articles of Incorporation, or the Restated Bylaws) by a writing signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice and delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes for filing with the corporate records.  A shareholder’s attendance at a meeting:

 

(i)    waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and

 

(ii)   waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

 

(e)           If the Corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to a director in connection with litigation where director is a defendant, his shall be reported to all shareholders with or before notice of the next shareholders’ meeting, as required by the Oregon Business Corporation Act.

 

(f)            For purposes of these Restated Bylaws, “electronic transmission” means any form of communication that does not directly involve the physical transfer of paper and that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reproduced by the recipient thereof.

 

Section 2.4            Organization.

 

(a)           Meetings of shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if any, or in his or her absence by a person designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of a person so designated by the Board of Directors, by a Chairman chosen at the meeting by the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy.  The Secretary, or in his or her absence, an Assistant Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary and all Assistant Secretaries, a person whom the

(b)           The Board of Directors shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of shareholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient.  Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such Chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, limitations on participation in the meeting to shareholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the Chairman shall permit, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting and matters which are to be voted on by ballot.

 

Section 2.5            List of ShareholdersThe Secretary or such other person as may be designated by the Chairman of the Board, the President, or the Board of Directors shall within two business days after notice is given for each meeting prepare a list of shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting and the number of shares of stock held by each shareholder.

 

Section 2.6            QuorumAt any meeting of shareholders, the holders of a majority in voting power of all issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote on a matter, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum with respect to that matter.  If a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of shareholders, then the Chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time in accordance with Section 2.7, without notice other than announcement at the meeting and except as provided in Section 2.3(c), until a quorum is present or represented.  If a quorum initially is present at any meeting of shareholders, the shareholders may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, but if a quorum is not present at least initially, no business other than adjournment may be transacted.

 

Section 2.7            Adjourned MeetingAny annual or special meeting of shareholders, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned for any reason by either the Chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy.  At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

 

Section 2.8            Voting.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise provided by law or the Restated Articles of Incorporation, each holder of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such stock held of record by such holder on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation.

corporate actions to be taken by vote of the shareholders shall be authorized if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action.

 

Section 2.9            Proxies.

 

(a)           At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or a duly authorized attorney-in-fact.  Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting.  No proxy shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Unless and until voted, every proxy shall be revocable by the person who executed it or by his or her legal representatives or assigns, except in those cases when an irrevocable proxy permitted by statute has been given.

 

(b)           Without limiting the manner in which a shareholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder as proxy pursuant to this Section 2.9, the following shall constitute a valid means by which a shareholder may grant such authority:

 

(i)    A shareholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such shareholder as proxy.  Execution may be accomplished by the shareholder or such shareholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

 

(ii)   A shareholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder as proxy by transmitting the authorization in writing or by any means of electronic communication to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such means of electronic communication must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic communication transmission was authorized by the shareholder.  Such authorization can be established by the signature of the shareholder on the proxy, either in writing or by a signature stamp or facsimile signature, or by a number or symbol from which the identity of the shareholder can be determined, or by any other procedure deemed appropriate by the inspectors or other persons making the determination as to due authorization.  If it is determined that such electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination shall specify the information upon which they relied.

 

(c)           Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to Section 2.9(b) may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

(a)           Employee Directors.           The Chief Executive Office, with the concurrence of the Board of Directors, shall appoint a nominating committee for the employee positions on the Board of Directors.   The composition of the committee shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, but it must consist of employees only, who may, but do not have to be

The Corporation shall pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by any such current or former director or officer in any such proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if the person sets forth in writing (i) the person’s good faith belief that the person is entitled to indemnification under this Article and (ii) the person’s agreement to repay all advances if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to indemnification under this Article. No amendment to this Article that limits the Corporation’s obligation to indemnify any

person shall have any effect on such obligation for any act or omission that occurs prior to the later of the effective date of the amendment or the date notice of the amendment is given to the person.

 

Section 6.2             Exclusivity of Rights.  The rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any director or officer may otherwise be entitled, nor shall this Article VI be deemed to exclude or limit any power that the Corporation may lawfully exercise to provide any additional or other indemnity or right for any director, officer, employee, or other person.

ARTICLE VIII
SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATIVE TO STOCK

 

Section 8.1             Ownership Policy.  The purpose of this Article is to define the policy of the Corporation to maintain ownership of its common stock by compatible persons actively contributing to its success.  This policy is based on the belief that common stock ownership by competent, loyal, contributing employees and directors of, and consultants to, the Corporation and its affiliates will be of continuing benefit to the Corporation.

 

Section 8.2             Restrictions on Stock.

 

(a)            Corporation’s Right to Repurchase upon Termination of Affiliation. As used in this Article, “Stock” shall mean the Common Stock issued or to be issued by the Corporation.  All shares of Stock held of record by a person who is an employee or director of, or a consultant to, the Corporation or any of its affiliates shall be subject to the Corporation’s right to repurchase all of such shares in the event that such holder’s affiliation with the Corporation as an employee, director or consultant is terminated. Such right of repurchase upon termination of affiliation shall also be applicable to all shares of Stock which such person has the right to acquire subsequent to termination of affiliation pursuant to any of the Corporation’s employee benefit plans (other than shares distributable to such person under any benefit plan adopted by the Corporation or any of its affiliates which, by law or its terms, prohibits the Corporation’s right to repurchase shares issued thereunder upon termination of affiliation) or pursuant to any option or other contractual right to acquire shares of Stock which was outstanding at the date of such termination of affiliation. An authorized leave of absence approved in accordance with the Corporation’s policy shall not constitute a termination of affiliation for purposes of this subparagraph (a); provided, however, that the issuance of a formal personnel action notice by the Corporation’s human resources department advising an employee that the leave of absence is terminated shall constitute a termination of affiliation for purposes of this subparagraph (a).  The Corporation’s right of repurchase shall be exercised by mailing written notice to such holder at his or her address of record on the Corporation’s stock record books within 60 days following the termination of such affiliation, which notice shall request delivery of certificates representing the shares of Stock, duly endorsed in blank or to the Corporation, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances of any kind whatsoever. If the Corporation repurchases the shares, the price shall be the Formula Price (as hereinafter defined) per share (i) on the date of such termination of affiliation, in the case of shares held of record by such holder at that date and shares issuable to such holder subsequent to that date pursuant to any option or other contractual right to acquire shares of Stock which was outstanding at that date; or (ii) on the date such shares are distributed to such holder, in the case of shares distributable to such holder subsequent to his or her termination of affiliation pursuant to any of the Corporation’s employee benefit plans. The Corporation shall, if it exercises its right to repurchase such shares of Stock as provided in this subparagraph (a), pay for such shares in cash or promissory notes issued within 90 days after (i) the date of such termination of affiliation (such 90-day period shall commence on such date of termination of affiliation and shall not be extended by accrued vacation, sick days or similar accruals), in the case of shares held of record by such holder at that date and shares issuable to such holder

 

15



 

subsequent to that date pursuant to any option or other contractual right to acquire shares of Stock which was outstanding at that date; or (ii) the date such shares are distributed to such holder, in the case of shares distributable to such holder subsequent to his or her termination of affiliation pursuant to any of the Corporation’s employee benefit plans. If the Corporation is unable to make such payment directly to such holder, then the Corporation may satisfy its obligation to make such payment by depositing the purchase price in cash or promissory notes within such 90-day period in an account for the benefit of such holder and such shares of Stock shall thereby be deemed to have been transferred to the Corporation and no longer outstanding with all rights of such holder with regard to such shares terminated. The Corporation and any holder of Stock may by contract mutually agree to extend the time period of the Corporation’s right to repurchase such holder’s Stock, and to alter payment terms from those contained in this subparagraph (a).

 

(b)           Corporation’s Right of First Refusal.  If at any time a holder of Stock desires to sell any of such Stock (other than through the limited market maintained by the Corporation), such holder shall first give notice to the Secretary of the Corporation containing:

 

(i)            A statement signed by such holder notifying the Corporation that such holder desires to sell shares of Stock and has received a bona fide offer to purchase such shares.

 

(ii)           A statement signed by the intended purchaser containing:

 

(A)          the intended purchaser’s full name, address and taxpayer identification number;
 
(B)           the number of shares to be purchased;
 
(C)           the price per share to be paid;
 
(D)          other terms under which the purchase is intended to be made; and
 
(E)           a representation that the offer, under the terms specified, is bona fide.
 

(iii)          If the purchase price is payable in cash, in whole or in part, a copy of a certified check, cashier’s check or money order payable to such holder from the purchaser in the aggregate amount of the purchase price which is to be paid in cash.

 

The Corporation shall thereupon have an option exercisable within 14 days of receipt of such notice by the Secretary to purchase all, but not less than all, of the shares specified in the notice at the offer price and upon the same terms as set forth in the notice, accompanied by payment of the purchase price; provided, however, that if the offer price is payable, in whole or in part, other than in cash, the Corporation shall pay the equivalent value of any noncash consideration as mutually agreed upon between the holder and the Corporation. Such option shall be exercised by the Corporation by mailing written notice to such holder at his or her address of record on the Corporation’s stock record books. In the event the Corporation does not exercise such option, such holder may sell the shares specified in the notice within 30 days thereafter to the person, at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein. The holder may not sell such shares to any other person, or at any different price, or on any different terms without

 

16



 

first re-offering such shares to the Corporation. All shares sold pursuant to this subparagraph (b) shall continue to be subject to this Article VIII, further transfers of the shares can be made only in accordance with this Article VIII and each purchaser is required to execute an agreement to be bound by the terms of this Article VIII.

 

(c)           Election of Rights by Corporation.  If circumstances shall occur which would ordinarily permit the Corporation to exercise its rights under either subparagraphs (a) or (b) of this Article at a time when the Corporation’s rights under the other subparagraph have become and remain exercisable, the Corporation in its sole discretion may elect which of such rights it shall exercise.  The Corporation may designate one or more nominees to purchase any shares of Stock which it has the right to purchase pursuant to subparagraphs (a) or (b) of this Article, in lieu of purchasing such shares itself.

 

(d)           Other Transfers.  Except for sales in the limited market maintained by the Corporation and as provided in subparagraphs (a) or (b) of this Article, no holder of shares of Stock may sell, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of or encumber any shares of Stock without the prior written approval of the Corporation, and any attempt to so sell, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of or encumber such shares without such prior approval shall be null and void.  If any transfer of the Corporation’s Stock is (1) not a sale by an employee or director of, or consultant to, the Corporation or (2) by a person who acquired such Stock other than by purchase, directly or indirectly, from an employee or director of, or consultant to the Corporation, then the Corporation is expressly authorized to condition its approval of such transfer upon the transferee’s agreement to hold such Stock subject to this Article upon the termination of affiliation of the employee, director, or consultant. All shares transferred with the Corporation’s prior written approval pursuant to this subparagraph (d) shall continue to be subject to this Article VIII, further transfers of the shares can be made only in accordance with this Article VIII, and each transferee is required to execute an agreement to be bound by the terms of this Article VIII.

 

(e)           Definition of Formula Price. As used in this Article, “Formula Price” shall mean the price determined pursuant to the formula adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation for the purpose of determining the fair market value of the Corporation’s Stock, as such formula may be modified from time to time by the Board of Directors.

 

(f)            Ownership Limit.  No person may own more than one percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, excluding the person’s beneficial interest in any class or series of stock of the Corporation held by an employee benefit trust.

 

Section 8.3             Fixing Record Dates.

 

(a)            For purposes of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, shareholders entitled to demand a special meeting, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any distribution or dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date.  With respect to a particular notice or meeting, the record date shall be the same for all voting groups.  Such record date shall not be more than 70 days before the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken.  If no record date is so fixed by the Board of Directors for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, shareholders entitled to demand a special meeting or shareholders entitled to receive a share dividend or distribution, the record date for determination of such shareholders shall be at the close of business on:

 

17



 

(i)            With respect to an annual shareholders’ meeting or any special shareholders’ meeting called by the Board of Directors or any person specifically authorized by the Board of Directors or these Restated Bylaws to call a meeting, the day before the first notice is delivered to shareholders;

 

(ii)           With respect to a special shareholders’ meeting demanded by the shareholders, the date the first shareholder signs the demand;

 

(iii)          With respect to the payment of a share dividend, the date the Board of Directors authorizes the share dividend;

 

(iv)          With respect to actions taken in writing without a meeting, the date the first shareholder signs a consent; and

 

(v)           With respect to a distribution to shareholders (other than one involving a repurchase or reacquisition of shares), the date the Board of Directors authorizes the distribution.

 

(b)           When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

 

Section 8.4             Regulations.  The Board of Directors may make such additional rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares of stock of the Corporation.
