A majority of the shares entitled to vote,represented in person or By proxy,shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders.If a quorum is present,the affirmative vote of the majority of shareholders represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter shall be the act of the shareholders,unless the vote of a greater number is required by law and except as provided in the following paragraphs of this section.
擁有半數(shù)以上具有表決權的股份的股東親自出席或代理出席即構成股東大會的法定人數(shù)。如果大會達到法定人數(shù),出席會議且就一切議題事項有權投票的股東半數(shù)以上投票贊成即構成股東大會決議,法律規(guī)定需更多票數(shù)或本款下面段落另有規(guī)定者除外。
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 is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.
出席合法召集或召開且達到法定人數(shù)的大會的股東,在出現(xiàn)與會股東退席而所剩者不足法定人數(shù)時仍可繼續(xù)進行會議議程,除非遇到一項決議,其通過至少要求有持半數(shù)股份以上的股東以構成法定人數(shù),此時則可休會。
In the absence of a quorum,any meeting of shareholders may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares represented either in person or by proxy,but no other business may be transacted except as provided in the foregoing provisions of this section.
如果不能達到法定人數(shù),任何股東大會均可經擁有半數(shù)以上股份且出席會議的股東(親自或由人代理出席)表決而隨時休會,但除此之外不得進行其他任何議題,本款以上作有規(guī)定的除外。
SECTION 9.VOTING
第9款 投票
Only shareholders of record on the record date fixed for voting purposes by the board of directors pursuant to Article VIII,Section 3 of these bylaws,or,if there be no such date fixed,on the record dates given below,shall be entitled to vote at a meeting.
只有在董事會按本章程第八條第3款確定的登記期限前登記的股東,或者,如果沒有確定此種登記期限,在以下所規(guī)定的登記期限前登記的股東方可有權在股東大會上投票。
If no record date is fixed:
如果沒有確定登記期限:
a.The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of,or to vote,at a meeting of shareholders,shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or,if notice is waived,at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
認定股東是否有權被通知參加股東大會或有權在大會投票的登記期限應為開會通知送出前的一天,一直到停業(yè)時間為止,如大會不用通知,則為開會前的一天,一直到停業(yè)時間為止。
b.The record date for determining the shareholders entitled to give consent to corporate actions in writing without a meeting,when no prior action by the board is necessary,shall be the day on which the first written consent is given.
認定股東是否有權在不開會且董事會不采取先行行為的情況下用書面文件同意公司行為的登記期限為收到第一份書面同意文件日期。
c.The record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board adopts the resolution relating thereto,or the 60th day prior to the date of such other action,
whichever is later.
因其他目的而認定股東的登記期限為董事會作出相關決議的那一天,一直到停業(yè)為止,或為采取該其他行為之前的第60天為止,兩者中以最遲日期為準。
Every shareholder entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote for each share held,except as otherwise provided by law,by the Articles of Incorporation or by other provisions of these bylaws.Except with respect to elections of directors,any shareholder entitled to vote may vote part of his or her shares in favor of a proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal.If a shareholder fails to specify the number of shares he or she is affirmatively voting,it will be conclusively presumed that the shareholder's approving vote is with respect to all shares the shareholder is entitled to vote.
凡有投票權的股東可按所持股份的數(shù)額每股投一張票,法律、公司章程或本章程附則其他條款另有規(guī)定的除外。除選舉董事之外,任何有投票權的股東均可用他或她的部分股份投一提案的贊成票,而剩余的股份不投票或投反對票。如果一股東無法具體說明他或她用于投贊成票的股份的數(shù)額,則應確鑿推定該股東的贊成投票包含了他所有的有投票權的股份。
At each election of directors,shareholders shall not be entitled to cumulate votes unless the candidates'names have been placed in nomination before the commencement of the voting and a shareholder has given notice at the meeting,and before the voting has begun,of his or her intention to cumulate votes.If any shareholder has given such notice,then all shareholders entitled to vote may cumulate their votes by giving one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of his or her shares or by distributing such votes on the same principle among any number of candidates as he or she thinks fit.The candidates receiving the highest number of votes,up to the number of directors to be elected,shall be elected.Votes cast against a candidate or which are withheld shall have no effect.Upon the demand of any shareholder made before the voting begins,the election of directors shall be by ballot rather than by voice vote.
每次選舉董事,股東均無權累積選票,除非在投票開始前候選人已經被提名,且股東在投票開始之前已經通知大會他或她想累積選票。如果有一股東遞交通知,則所有有投票權的股東均可以增加他或她的股份額或按同樣原則,以將此種選票分投給他或她認為恰當?shù)暮蜻x人的方式累積選票,使一位候選人所得的選票等同于當選董事的選票數(shù)。根據(jù)所選董事的數(shù)量,得選票最多的候選人將當選。反對票或棄權票無效。如有股東在投票前提出要求,董事選舉得用投票而不是用口頭贊成進行。
SECTION 10.PROXIES
第10款 代理
Every person entitled to vote shares may authorize another person or persons to act by proxy with respect to such shares by filing a proxy with the secretary of the corporation.For purposes of these bylaws,a“proxy”means a written authorization signed or an electronic transmission authorized by a shareholder or the shareholder's attorney in fact giving another person or persons power to vote with respect to the shares of the shareholder.“Signed”for the purpose of these bylaws means the placing of the shareholder's name or other authorization 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 his or her attorney in fact.
任何擁有投票權股份的股東均可通過向公司秘書呈送委托書而授權其他一人或多人代理此種股份投票。在本章程附則中,“委托書”是指業(yè)經簽字的書面授權書或經股東或股東的律師授權的電子傳送件,是將此股東的股份所附的投票權具體授予其他一人或多人的書面文件。在本章程附則中,“業(yè)經簽字”是指在委托書(手書、打印、電報、電傳或其他形式不論)上由股東或其律師簽署股東的姓名或其他認可標記。如能提供材料,證實確為股東、或他或她的律師授權,亦可用電話進行口頭委托。
A proxy shall not be valid after the expiration of eleven(11)months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy.Every proxy shall continue in full force and effect until revoked by the person executing it prior to the vote pursuant thereto,except as otherwise provided in Section 705 of the Massachusetts Corporations Code.
委托書在簽署十一(11)個月后即失效,委托書中另有規(guī)定者除外。委托書簽署人可在委托投票前撤銷委托,否則委托書將視為合法有效,《馬薩諸塞州公司法典》第705條另有規(guī)定者除外。

董事會只能因董事死亡、辭職或免職或因法定董事數(shù)額的增加,或因在股東大會年會或選舉董事的臨時大會上股東們沒有選足法定的董事數(shù)額而出現(xiàn)空缺。凡董事被法庭宣布為精神不正;蚨橹刈锓福聲尚计渎毼豢杖。
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 or,if the number of directors then in office is less than a quorum,by(1)the unanimous written consent of the directors then in office,(2)the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office at a meeting held pursuant to notice or waivers of notice complying with this Article of these bylaws,or(3)a sole remaining director.Vacancies occurring on the board by reason of the removal of directors may be filled only by approval of the shareholders.Each director so elected shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified.
除因董事被免職而出現(xiàn)的空缺外,董事會空缺可經董事會批準,或如在任董事人數(shù)不足法定人數(shù),(1)經在任董事一致書面同意,(2)在通知召開的或不經通知而根據(jù)本章程本條規(guī)定召開的會議上由多數(shù)在任董事同意,或(3)經惟一在任的董事同意填補。因董事被免職而出現(xiàn)的董事會空缺,只有經股東投票選舉才能填補。凡如此當選的董事將任職到來年的股東大會年會的召開,直到他或她的繼任人被選出和任命為止。
