English to Russian Law/Patents Law (general)

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize
another person or persons to act for such stockholder by a written proxy, signed by the
stockholder and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation, 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 proxy
shall be deemed signed if the stockholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual
signature, typewriting, electronic or telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or
the stockholder’s attorney-in-fact.
