(ii) amending Section 1 of Article VIII of the By-laws to provide that the By-laws may be altered, amended or repealed or new by-laws may be adopted by the stockholders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the corporation or by the board of directors, provided however that the By-laws may be altered, amended or repealed or new by-laws may be adopted by the board of directors only if such action is approved by either (a) the unanimous written consent of the members of the board of directors then in office, or (b) the unanimous affirmative vote of all of the members of the board of directors then in office either at any regular meeting of the stockholders or of the board of directors or at any special meeting of the stockholders or of the board of directors if notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new by-laws be contained in the notice of such special meeting.
