In case any certificate representing shares shall be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Board of Directors, or any officer or officers duly authorized by the Board of Directors or these Bylaws, may authorize the issuance of a substitute certificate in place of the certificate so lost, stolen or destroyed, and may cause or authorize such substitute certificate to be countersigned by the appropriate transfer agent and registered by the appropriate registrar. In each such case, the applicant for a substitute certificate shall furnish to the Corporation and to such of its transfer agents and registrars as may require the same, evidence to their satisfaction, in their discretion, of the loss, theft or destruction of such certificate and of the ownership thereof, and also such security or indemnity as may by them be required.
Section 5.04 Transfer of Shares. Transfers of shares shall be made on the books of the Corporation only by the person named in the certificate, or by attorney lawfully constituted in writing, and upon surrender and cancellation of a certificate or certificates for a like number of shares of the same class, with duly executed assignment and power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, and with such proof of the authenticity of the signatures as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably require, and new certificates shall thereupon be issued.
