and series of stock owned by the holder, and shall be signed (a) by the Chairman of the Board, or the Executive Vice Chairman of the Board, or the CEO, or the President, or a Vice President, and (b) by the Treasurer, or any Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary, or any Assistant Secretary. Any or all of the signatures on a stock certificate may be facsimiles. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, such certificate may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar on the date of issuance.
Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice that shall set forth the name of the Corporation, the name of the stockholder, the number of shares in such class and series of stock owned by the holder, and any restrictions on the transfer or registration of such shares of stock imposed by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement among stockholders or any agreement between stockholders and the Corporation.
Section 8.2Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.
The Board may direct that (i) a new stock certificate be issued or (ii) uncertificated shares in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the Corporation, in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation which is alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person, or his or her legal representative, claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issuance of a new certificate or an uncertificated share, the Board, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his or her legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as the Board shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as the Board shall direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation, any transfer agent or any registrar on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or an uncertificated share.
Section 8.3Registration of Transfer.
Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares, duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, the Corporation shall issue a new certificate or evidence of the issuance of uncertificated shares to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction on its books and records.
Upon the receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of uncertificated shares, such uncertificated shares shall be cancelled, issuance of new equivalent uncertificated shares or certificated shares shall be made to the shareholder entitled thereto and the transaction shall be recorded upon the books of the Corporation. If the Corporation has a transfer agent or registrar acting on its behalf, the signature of any officer or representative thereof may be in facsimile.
