(c)                                  General.

(i) At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a director shall furnish to the Secretary the information that is required to be set forth in a shareholder’s notice of nomination that pertains to the nominee.  No person shall be eligible to be nominated by a shareholder to serve as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.5.  No business shall be conducted at a shareholder meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.5.  The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws or that business was not properly brought before the meeting, and, if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded or such business shall not be transacted, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5, unless otherwise required by law, if the shareholder (or a qualified representative of the shareholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation to present a nomination or other proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded or such proposed business shall not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation.  For purposes of this Section 2.5, to be considered a qualified representative of the shareholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such shareholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such shareholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such shareholder to act for such shareholder as proxy at the meeting of shareholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of shareholders.

(ii)  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.5; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 2.5, and compliance with paragraphs (a)(i)(C) and (b) of this Section 2.5 shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph (c)(ii)).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the notice requirements set forth herein with respect to the proposal of any business pursuant to this Section 2.5 other than a nomination shall be deemed satisfied by a shareholder if such shareholder has submitted a proposal to the corporation in compliance with Rule 14a-8 or a nomination in compliance with Rule 14a-11, which rules are promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and such shareholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the corporation to solicit proxies for the meeting of shareholders.

(iii)  For the purposes of this Section 2.5, “Shareholder Associated Person” of any shareholder means (A) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such shareholder, (B) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the corporation owned of record or beneficially by such shareholder and (C) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such other Shareholder Associated Person.

(iv)  For the purposes of this Section 2.5, “public announcement” shall include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press, or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14, or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

SECTION 2.6.  ADJOURNED MEETINGS AND NOTICE THEREOF.

Any meeting of shareholders, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares, the holders of which are present in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at any such meeting.

When any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, is adjourned for 45 days or more, or if after adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting.  Save as aforesaid, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting other than by announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken.

SECTION 2.7.  ENTRY OF NOTICE.

Whenever any shareholder entitled to vote has been absent from any meeting of shareholders, whether annual or special, an affidavit of mailing executed by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, entered in the minutes of the meeting, to the effect that notice has been duly given, shall be conclusive and incontrovertible evidence that due notice of such meeting was given to such shareholder as required by law and by the Bylaws of the corporation.

SECTION 2.8.  VOTING.

At all meetings of shareholders, every shareholder entitled to vote shall have the right to vote in person or by proxy the number of shares standing in such shareholder’s own name on the stock records of the corporation.  Such vote may be by voice vote or by ballot, provided, however, that all elections of directors must be by ballot upon demand by a shareholder at any election and before the voting begins.  The affirmative vote of the majority of the voting shares present at any meeting of shareholders to which there is a quorum shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by the Articles of Incorporation or the California Corporations Code.  Every shareholder entitled to vote at any election for directors shall have the right to cumulate such shareholder’s votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which such shareholder’s shares are entitled, or to distribute such votes on the same principle among as many candidates as such shareholder sees fit.  No shareholder, however, shall be entitled to cumulate votes for any candidate or candidates pursuant to the preceding sentence unless such candidate’s or

6

candidates’ names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the shareholder has given notice, at the meeting prior to the voting, of the shareholder’s intention to cumulate the shareholder’s votes.  If any one shareholder has given such notice, all shareholders may cumulate their votes for candidates in nomination.  The candidates receiving the highest number of votes up to the number of directors to be elected shall be elected.

SECTION 2.9.  QUORUM.

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.

SECTION 2.10.  WAIVER OF NOTICE AND OTHER DEFECTS.

(a)                                  The transactions of any meeting of shareholders either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy and if either before or after the meeting, each of the shareholders entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof.  All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be united with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

(b)                                 Attendance of a shareholder at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of and presence at such meeting, except when the shareholder objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.  Attendance at a meeting is not, however, a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required by the applicable provisions of the California Corporations Code to be included in the notice but not so included, if such objection is expressly made at the meeting.  Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of shareholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or consent to the holding of the meeting or approval of the minutes thereof, except that any approval of shareholders at a meeting, other than unanimous approval by those entitled to vote pursuant to the applicable provisions of the California Corporations Code, shall be valid only if the general nature of the proposal so approved was stated in the notice of meeting or in any written waiver of notice.

SECTION 2.11.  ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.

(a)                                  Subject to the provisions of Section 603 of the California Corporations Code, any action which, under any provision of the California Corporations Code, may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders, may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation after having been signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting to which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, provided, however,

7

that (1) unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been solicited in writing, notice of any shareholder approval without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent and notice of the taking of any corporate action so approved shall be given as required by the California Corporations Code, and (2) except as authorized by the California Corporations Code, directors may not be elected by written consent except by unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors.

(b)                                 Any written consent may be revoked by a writing received by the Secretary of the corporation prior to the time when written consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the Secretary.  Such revocation is effective upon its receipt by the Secretary of the corporation.

SECTION 2.12.  PROXIES.

Every person entitled to vote shares or execute consents shall have the right to do so either in person or by an agent or agents authorized by a written proxy executed by such person or his or her duly authorized agent and filed with the Secretary of the corporation, provided that no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months from the date of its execution, unless the shareholder executing it specifies therein the length of time for which such proxy is to continue in force, which in no case shall exceed five years from the date of its execution.  A proxy may be revoked by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked, or by execution of a subsequent proxy or by attendance at any meeting and voting in person by the person executing the proxy, unless the proxy states that it is irrevocable and the proxy is held by a person specified in Section 705(e) of the California Corporations Code in which event it is irrevocable for the period specified therein.  In accordance with Section 178 of the California Corporations Code, “proxy” shall mean any written authorization signed or electronic transmission authorized by a shareholder or a shareholder’s attorney-in-fact giving another person or persons the power to vote with respect to the shares owned of record by such shareholder.  A proxy shall be deemed to be “signed” if the shareholder’s name or other authorization is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic or electronic transmission or otherwise) by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney-in-fact.  A proxy may be transmitted by an oral telephonic transmission if it is submitted with information from which it may be determined that the proxy was authorized by the shareholder or by the shareholder’s attorney-in-fact.

(b)           Except for a vacancy created by the removal of a director, vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled by approval of the Board of Directors or, if the number of directors then in office is less than a quorum, by the unanimous written consent of the directors then in office, the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office at a meeting held pursuant to notice or waivers of notice under the California Corporations Code, or a sole remaining director; each director so elected shall hold office until his or her successor is elected at a meeting of shareholders and until such director’s successor has been elected and qualified.
