Voting; Proxies Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, each Securityholder entitled to vote at any meeting of Securityholders shall have voting power proportionate to the outstanding amount, based on initial issue price, of the Securities held by such Securityholder that have voting power upon the matter in question. Each Securityholder entitled to vote at a meeting of Securityholders or to express consent or dissent to action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such Securityholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power, regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the Securities themselves or an interest in the Company generally. A Securityholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Company. Voting at meetings of Securityholders need not be by written ballot unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Securities entitled to vote thereon present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting shall so determine. Directors shall be designated, removed and replaced as provided in the Agreement and Article II hereof. Other than in the case of any matter expressly set forth in the Agreement for which a higher vote may be required, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Securities present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the Securityholders.
