Section 2 .     Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the shareholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held within five months of the end of the fiscal year of the Corporation at such date, time and place, if any, as shall be determined by the board of directors and stated in the notice of the meeting.

Section 3 .     Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by resolution of a majority of the board of directors or by the Chairman of the Board and shall be held on a date fixed by the board of directors or the Chairman of the Board.

Except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, written notice of each meeting of shareholders, stating the time, place and purposes thereof, shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for the meeting, either personally, by mail or by a form of electronic transmission. If a shareholder or proxy holder may be present and vote at the meeting by remote communication, the means of remote communication allowed shall be included in the notice. Notice of a meeting need not be given to any shareholder who signs a waiver of notice before or after the meeting. Attendance of a shareholder at a meeting shall constitute both (a) a waiver of notice or defective notice except when the shareholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to holding the meeting or transacting any business because the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened, and (b) a waiver of objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, except when the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

Section 5 .     Shareholder List. The officer or agent who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting, arranged by class or series of shares in alphabetical order, showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each shareholder. The list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting and may be inspected during the whole time of the meeting by any shareholder who is present at the meeting.

Section 6 .     Quorum. Unless a greater or lesser quorum is provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by law, shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes at a meeting constitute a quorum at the meeting. Except when the holders of a class or series of shares are entitled to vote separately on an item of business, shares of all classes and series entitled to vote shall be combined as a single class and series for the purpose of determining a quorum. When the holders of a class or series of shares are entitled to vote separately on an item of business, shares of that class or series entitled to cast a majority of the votes of that class or series at a meeting constitute a quorum of that class or series at the meeting, unless a greater or lesser quorum is provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by law. If there is no quorum, the officer of the Corporation presiding as chairman of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present, when any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as first convened had there been a quorum. However, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment the board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, notice of the time, place and purposes of such meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record on the new record date. Once a quorum is determined to be present, the shareholders present in person or by proxy at such meeting may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. If a meeting is adjourned solely for the purpose of receiving the results of voting by shareholders, such meeting need not be reconvened. If not reconvened, such meeting shall stand adjourned pending submission of the results of voting to the Secretary of the Corporation, whereupon such meeting shall stand adjourned until the next regular or special meeting of shareholders.

Section 7 .     Vote Required. When a quorum is present at a meeting, any action to be taken by a vote of the shareholders, other than the election of directors, shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote on the action, unless a greater vote is required by the Articles of Incorporation or express provision of statute. Except as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at an election.

Section 8 .     Voting Rights and Proxies. Except as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation or the resolution or resolutions of the board of directors creating any class of stock, each shareholder shall at every meeting of the shareholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such shareholder. Every shareholder entitled to a vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent or dissent without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder by proxy. A proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed by the shareholder or the shareholder's authorized agent or representative or shall be transmitted electronically to the person who will hold the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or similar agent fully authorized by the person who will hold the proxy to receive that transmission and include or be accompanied by information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the shareholder. A complete copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of the proxy may be substituted or used in lieu of the original proxy for any purpose for which the original could be used. A proxy shall not be valid after the expiration of three years from its date unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A proxy is revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder executing it except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

Section 9 .     Conduct of Meetings. Meetings of shareholders generally shall follow accepted rules of parliamentary procedure, subject to the following:

(a)     The chairman of the meeting shall have absolute authority over matters of procedure, and there shall be no appeal from the ruling of the chairman. If, in his or her absolute discretion, the chairman deems it advisable to dispense with the rules of parliamentary procedure as to any meeting of shareholders or part thereof, he or she shall so state and shall clearly state the rules under which the meeting or appropriate part thereof shall be conducted.

(b)     If disorder should arise which, in the absolute discretion of the chairman, prevents the continuation of the legitimate business of the meeting, the chairman may quit the chair and announce the adjournment of the meeting, and upon his or her so doing, the meeting is immediately adjourned without the necessity of any vote or further action of the shareholders.

(c)     The chairman may require any person who is not a bona fide shareholder of record on the record date, or a validly appointed proxy of such a shareholder, to leave the meeting.

(d)     The chairman may introduce nominations, resolutions or motions submitted by the board of directors for consideration by the shareholders without a motion or second. Except as the chairman shall direct, a resolution or motion not submitted by the board of directors shall be considered for a vote only if proposed by a shareholder of record on the record date or a validly appointed proxy of such a shareholder, and seconded by such a shareholder or proxy other than the individual who proposed the resolution or motion.

(e)     Except as the chairman shall direct, no matter may be presented to the meeting which has not been submitted in writing to the Secretary for inclusion in the agenda at least twenty (20) days before the date of the meeting.

(f)     When all shareholders present at a meeting in person or by proxy have been offered an opportunity to vote on any matter properly before a meeting, the chairman may at his or her discretion declare the polls to be closed, and no further votes may be cast or changed after such declaration. If no such declaration is made by the chairman, the polls shall remain open and shareholders may cast additional votes or change votes until the inspectors of election have delivered their final report to the chairman.

(g)     When the chairman has declared the polls to be closed on all matters then before a meeting, the chairman may declare the meeting to be adjourned pending determination of the results by the inspectors of election. In such event, the meeting shall be considered adjourned for all purposes, and the business of the meeting shall be finally concluded upon delivery of the final report of the inspectors of election to the chairman at or after the meeting.

(h)     When the chairman determines that no further matters may properly come before a meeting, he or she may declare the meeting to be adjourned, without motion, second, or vote of the shareholders.

(i)     When the chairman has declared a meeting to be adjourned, unless the chairman has declared the meeting to be adjourned until a later date, no further business may properly be considered at the meeting even though shareholders or holders of proxies representing a quorum may remain at the site of the meeting.

Section 10 .     Inspectors of Election. The board of directors or, if they shall not have so acted, the chairman, may appoint at or prior to any meeting of shareholders one or more persons (who may be directors or employees of the Corporation) to serve as inspectors of election. The inspectors so appointed 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 validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes or ballots, hear and determine challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate votes or ballots, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.

Section 11 .     Voting. When any vote is taken by written ballot at any meeting of shareholders, an unrevoked proxy submitted in accordance with its terms shall be accepted in lieu of, and shall be deemed to constitute, a written ballot marked as specified in such proxy.

To the extent that a director or officer, or other person whose indemnification is authorized by the board of directors, has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 or 2 of this Article, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith and any action, suit or proceeding brought to enforce the mandatory indemnification provided in this Section.

Section 4 .     Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under Section 1 or 2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article and upon an evaluation of the reasonableness of expenses and amounts paid in settlement. Such determination shall be made (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or if such a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee duly designated by the board consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties or threatened to be made parties to such action, suit or proceeding; (b) by independent legal counsel (who may be the regular counsel of the Corporation) in a written opinion, which counsel shall be selected as provided in (a) above, provided that if a committee cannot be designated as provided in (a) above, then the board shall select such independent counsel; (c) by all Independent Directors (as that term is defined in the Michigan Business Corporation Act) who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to such action, suit or proceeding; or (d) by the shareholders, but shares held by directors, officers, employees or agents who are parties or threatened to be made parties to such action, suit or proceeding may not be voted. In designating a committee under (a) above, or in the selection of independent legal counsel in the event a committee cannot be designated pursuant to (b) above, all directors may participate. The Corporation may indemnify a person for a portion of expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fees and amounts paid in settlement for which the person is entitled to indemnification under Section 1 or 2 of this Article, even though the person is not entitled to indemnification for the total amount of such expenses, judgments, penalties, fees and amounts paid in settlement.

Section 5 .     Advancing of Expenses. Expenses incurred by any person who is or was serving as a director or officer of the Corporation or a subsidiary in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding described in Section 1 or 2 of this Article shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding if the person furnishes the Corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on his or her behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet the applicable standard of conduct. Persons who are or were not serving as a director or officer of the Corporation or a subsidiary may receive similar advances of expenses to the extent authorized at any time by the board of directors, except as otherwise provided by statute or the Articles of Incorporation. Determinations under this Section shall be made in the manner specified in Section 4 of this Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any advance be made in instances where the board or independent legal counsel reasonably determines that such person deliberately breached his or her duty to the Corporation or its shareholders.

Section 6 .     Right to Indemnification Upon Application; Procedure Upon Application. A director, officer or other person who is a party or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application, the court may order indemnification if it determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not he or she met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2 of this Article or was adjudged liable as described in Section 2 of this Article, provided, however, that if he or she was adjudged liable, his or her indemnification shall be limited to reasonable expenses incurred.

Section 7 .     Indemnification Under Bylaws Not Exclusive. The indemnification or advancement of expenses provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation, any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The total amount of expenses advanced or indemnified from all sources shall, not exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred by the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses . All rights to indemnification under this Article shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Corporation and the director, officer, employee or agent who serves in such capacity at any time while these Bylaws and other relevant provisions of the general corporation law and other applicable law, if any, are in effect. Any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing .

Section 8 .     Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

Section 9 .     Mergers. For the purposes of this Article, references to the "Corporation" include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger, as well as the resulting or surviving corporation, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as if he or she had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity.

Section 10 .     Savings Clause. If this Article or any portion thereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director, officer or other person whose indemnification is authorized by the board of directors as to expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fees and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including a grand jury proceeding and an action by the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated or by any other applicable law.
