(2) the bylaws may be amended or repealed or new bylaws may be adopted by the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds ( 2/3) of the shares entitled to vote (and not a majority of the shares entitled to vote, as the bylaws provided prior to amendment) at any annual meeting of stockholders or at any special meeting of stockholders at which notice of the meeting included a statement or description of the proposed amendment, repeal or adoption of new bylaws [section 8.2].
