ARTICLE IV—INDEMNIFICATION
All officers and directors of the Corporation shall be indemnified by the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York or the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, against any and all judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and necessarily incurred which may arise as a result of the fact that (i) they are officers and/or directors of the Corporation, or (ii) at the request of the Corporation, they serve any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity.
ARTICLE V—CERTIFICATES OF STOCK
5.1 Form and Signature. The certificates of stock of the Corporation shall be numbered and entered on the books of the Corporation as they are issued. In addition to other requirements prescribed by law, the certificates shall exhibit the holder’s name and the number of shares and shall be signed by the President or Vice President and by the Treasurer, Secretary, Assistant Treasurer or Assistant Secretary. Where any certificate is signed by a transfer agent and registered by a registrar, other than the Corporation itself or any employee, the signature of any such officers may be facsimiles, engraved or printed. In case any officer who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate, shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, such certificate may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer at the date of issue.
5.2 Transfer of Shares. The shares of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation by the registered holder thereof, in person or by the holder’s attorney, upon surrender for cancellation of certificates for the same number of shares, with a proper assignment and powers of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly signed by the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner of the shares represented thereby, with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably require. Such certificate shall have affixed thereto all stock transfer stamps required by law. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such other rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of the Corporation.
5.3 Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The holder of any certificate representing shares of the Corporation shall immediately notify the Corporation of any mutilation, loss, theft or destruction thereof. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, cause one or more new certificates for the same number of shares in the aggregate to be issued to such holder upon the surrender of the mutilated certificate, or in case of loss, theft or destruction of the certificate, upon satisfactory proof of such loss, theft or destruction and the deposit of indemnity by way of bond or otherwise in such form and amount and with such sureties or securities as the Board of Directors may require to indemnify the Corporation and transfer agent and registrar, if any, against loss or liability by reason of the issuance of such new certificates. Alternatively, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, refuse to issue such new certificates save upon the order of a court having jurisdiction in such matters.
5.4 Stock Ledgers. The stock ledgers of the Corporation containing the names and addresses of the shareholders and the number of shares held by them respectively shall be maintained at the principal office of the Corporation, or, if there be a transfer agent, at the office of such transfer agent as the Board of Directors shall determine.
5.5 Transfer Agents and Registrars. The Corporation may have one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars of its stock or of any class or classes of its stock, whose respective duties the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.
