NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of RadioShack
Corporation ("RadioShack" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and
financial condition included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1999.
NOTE 2 - BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following schedule is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators
used in computing the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Basic EPS
excludes the effect of potentially dilutive securities while diluted EPS
reflects the potential dilution that would have occurred if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted, or resulted in the
issuance of common stock that would have then shared in the earnings of the
entity.

NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $75.6
million and $68.3 million, respectively, and comprehensive income for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $145.0 million and $124.1 million,
respectively.
NOTE 4 - REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
In the second quarter of 2000, RadioShack expanded its existing $200.0 million
364-day revolving credit facility to $300.0 million and also extended the
maturity date to June 2001. The terms of the 364-day revolving credit facility
remained similar to the previous facility. RadioShack also has a $300.0 million
five-year revolving credit facility maturing June 2003. The revolving credit
facilities are used as backup for the commercial paper program and may also be
utilized for general corporate purposes.
NOTE 5 - RADIOSHACK.COM, LLC
In October 1999, RadioShack launched its e-commerce enabled website,
www.RadioShack.com. On November 10, 1999, RadioShack and Microsoft Corporation
("Microsoft") formed a limited liability company, RadioShack.com, LLC, for the
purpose of marketing and selling electronics products on the Internet.
RadioShack contributed assets and also extended a royalty-free license for
certain trademarks and service marks to RadioShack.com, LLC and Microsoft
contributed $100.0 million on January 4, 2000. RadioShack owns 100% of the
common units of RadioShack.com, LLC, while Microsoft owns 100% of the preferred
units. RadioShack includes RadioShack.com, LLC in its consolidated financial
statements. RadioShack is entitled to receive 75% of the profits and losses of
RadioShack.com, LLC, while Microsoft will receive 25%; however, the preferred
units have certain liquidation rights, which could affect the allocation of
profits and losses among the partners. The preferred units are convertible into
common units at any time and must be converted in the event of certain capital
transactions. In certain circumstances, Microsoft has the option to require
RadioShack to purchase, and RadioShack has the right to purchase, Microsoft's
units. Also, in the event of liquidation, the preferred units have preferential
rights that could allow Microsoft to recover its initial investment.
NOTE 6 - BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING
In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company initiated certain restructuring
programs to exit its Incredible Universe business, close 21 unprofitable
Computer City stores and close its 53 remaining McDuff stores. These
restructuring programs were undertaken as a result of the highly competitive
environment in the electronics industry at the time. At December 31, 1999, the
balance in the restructuring reserve was $14.5 million and consisted of
remaining estimated real estate obligations to be paid. During the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000, approximately $0.4 million and $2.1 million,
respectively, were charged against the restructuring reserve. An additional $0.8
million, relating to real estate obligations, was added to the reserve during
the second quarter of 2000, leaving a balance in the reserve of $13.2 million at
June 30, 2000.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION ("MD&A")
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in MD&A
contain forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties
and are indicated by words such as "anticipates," "expects," "believes," "will,"
"should," could," and similar words and phrases. Factors that could cause
RadioShack Corporation's ("RadioShack" or the "Company") actual results to
differ materially from management's projections, forecasts, estimates and
expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
o changes in the amount and degree of promotional intensity exerted by current
competitors and potential new competition from both retail stores and
alternative methods or channels of distribution, such as e-commerce,
telephone shopping services and mail order;
o changes in general U.S. or regional U.S. economic conditions including, but
not limited to, consumer credit availability, interest rates, inflation,
personal discretionary spending levels and consumer sentiment about the
economy in general;
o the inability to successfully implement, market and execute the
RadioShack.com (SM) website and its coordination with RadioShack retail
outlets;
o the presence or absence of new services or products and product features in
the merchandise categories RadioShack sells and unexpected changes in
RadioShack's actual merchandise sales mix;
o the inability to negotiate and maintain profitable contracts or execute
business plans with providers of such services as cellular and PCS
telephones, direct-to-home satellite, Internet access and high-speed
bandwidth;
o the inability to collect the level of anticipated residual revenues,
commissions and bounties for products and services sold by RadioShack;
o the inability to successfully implement and execute RadioShack's strategic
alliances with either Thomson Multimedia and/or Microsoft Corporation
("Microsoft");
o lack of availability or access to sources of supply inventory (as a large
importer of consumer electronic products from Asia, unfavorable trade
imbalances could negatively affect RadioShack);
o the inability to retain and grow an effective management team in a dynamic
environment or changes in the cost or availability of a suitable work force
to manage and support RadioShack's service-driven operating strategies;
o the imposition of new restrictions or regulations regarding the sale of
products and/or services RadioShack sells or changes in tax rules and
regulations applicable to RadioShack; or
o the adoption rate and market demand for high speed Internet and other
Internet-related services.
The United States retail industry and the specialty retail industry in
particular are dynamic by nature and have undergone significant changes over the
past several years. RadioShack's ability to anticipate and successfully respond
to continuing challenges is key to achieving its expectations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales and Operating Revenues
RadioShack's overall sales increased 15.4% to $1,023.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $886.7 million in the corresponding
prior year period. Overall sales increased 16.5% to $2,070.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $1,776.9 million for the same period in
1999. Comparable store sales increased 8.8% and 10.4% for the second quarter and
six month periods ended June 30, 2000, respectively, when compared to the prior
year second quarter and six month periods. These sales increases for both the
three and six months periods were driven primarily by increased sales of audio
and video equipment, including "direct-to-home" satellite systems and services
("DTH"), as well as by increased sales of personal computers. Management
anticipates that sales growth for the remainder of 2000 will come from a broad
assortment of products and product categories, but primarily from audio and
video products, DTH, and wireless communications.
Sales in the audio and video category increased approximately 48% and 57% during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, when compared to the
same periods ended June 30, 1999. This category benefited from the launch of the
RCA Digital Entertainment Center at RadioShack in June 2000, as well as from
strong sales of DTH during the first six months of 2000.
Sales of communications products increased slightly during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and increased approximately 5% during the six months ended
June 30, 2000, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. During the
second quarter of 2000, increased unit and dollar sales of PCS telephones were
partially offset by a small decrease in unit and dollar sales of cellular
telephones, as well as by lower sales of other communications products such as
short-wave radios, scanners, CB radios and residential telephones. Unit and
dollar sales of wireless telephones are expected to continue to increase for the
remainder of 2000.
Sales in the personal computers and peripherals category increased approximately
26% and 13% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively,
when compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The average
selling price of personal computers decreased approximately 10% and 14% during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, when compared to
1999. However, increases in CPU units sold and increases in sales of printers
and peripherals during the first and second quarters of 2000 more than offset
these price reductions.
As of July 31, 2000, approximately 4,000 retail outlets had been fixtured for
the Microsoft Internet Center@RadioShack. Management anticipates that the
remaining fixtures for substantially all of the remaining RadioShack
company-owned stores should be installed by the end of August 2000 and that most
of these retail outlets will be able to demonstrate and sell high-speed Internet
access service by the end of 2000.
Sales in the personal electronics category increased approximately 14% and 10%
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, when compared
to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, as a result of increased
sales of electronic gift items.
Sales in the parts, accessories and specialty equipment category increased
approximately 6% and 5% during the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2000, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year, due in
part to increased sales of accessories for personal computers and wireless
communication products. Additionally, an increase in sales of audio accessories
associated with the rollout of the RCA Digital Entertainment Center at
RadioShack contributed to the sales increase in the second quarter.
Sales in the services and other category, which includes residuals and income
from prepaid wireless airtime, repair services and extended service contracts,
increased slightly during the first half of 2000, when compared to the first
half of 1999; but decreased for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, when compared
to the previous year. During the second quarter and first six months of 2000,
increases in residual income and sales of extended service plans were offset by
a decrease in sales of prepaid wireless airtime. Management expects this trend
to continue during the remainder of 2000.

Gross Profit
During the second quarter of 2000, gross profit dollars increased 14.0% to
$533.6 million, but decreased 0.7 percentage points to 52.1% of net sales and
operating revenues when compared to the second quarter of 1999. For the six
months ended June 30, 2000, gross profit dollars increased 14.2% to $1,049.6
million, but decreased 1.0 percentage point to 50.7% of net sales and operating
revenues, versus the corresponding period in 1999. These gross profit percentage
decreases were partly due to a shift within RadioShack's product offerings to
increased sales of audio and video products, which have a lower gross margin
than RadioShack overall, and were further impacted by promotional markdowns on
private-label audio and video equipment due to the transition to RCA-branded
equipment during the first and second quarters of 2000. These decreases were
partially offset by an increase in residual income, which has 100% gross margin,
as well as by an increase in the gross profit percentages for the parts,
accessories and specialty equipment category. Management anticipates that gross
profit as a percentage of net sales and operating revenues will continue to
decrease during the remainder of 2000, when compared to the prior year, but at a
lower rate than the first half of 2000.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense increased by $36.9 million
and $71.5 million, respectively, but decreased as a percent of net sales and
operating revenues by 1.5 and 2.0 percentage points, respectively, for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000, when compared to the same periods in the
prior year. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, rent and payroll
expense increased in dollars, but decreased as a percent of sales and operating
revenues when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decreases as a
percentage of sales and operating revenues were due primarily to the favorable
effect of increased comparable store sales on the expense rate structure during
the periods. Rent expense increased in dollars for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2000, due primarily to lease renewals at slightly higher rates
and retail store expansion. Payroll expense increased in dollars during these
same periods due to retail store expansion and increases in commissions, bonuses
and other incentives resulting from strong comparable store sales and profits.
Advertising expense increased in dollars for the quarter ended June 30, 2000,
but decreased as a percentage of net sales and operating revenues. This dollar
increase related primarily to the launch of the RCA Digital Entertainment Center
at RadioShack in June 2000. Advertising expense, both in dollars and as a
percentage of sales and operating revenues, decreased for the six months ended
June 30, 2000. Management anticipates that RadioShack will continue to obtain
positive leverage in its major expense categories for the remainder of 2000,
dependent upon planned continuous sales growth.
Net Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of interest income, for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000 was $8.2 million and $13.1 million, versus $5.0 million and $8.8
million for the comparable three and six months in 1999. Interest expense
increased $2.8 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2000 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, due to higher
nominal interest rates and higher average short-term debt outstanding relating
primarily to increased inventory levels and share repurchases. Interest expense,
net of interest income, is expected to continue to increase moderately during
the remainder of 2000, when compared to the prior year.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes for each quarterly period is based on the estimate of
the annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year, as evaluated at the end of
each quarter. The effective tax rates for the second quarter of 2000 and 1999
were 38.0% and 39.0%, respectively. The decrease resulted primarily from
improved utilization of foreign tax credits and implementation of certain state
income tax initiatives.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash flow used by operating activities approximated $10.8 million in the six
month period ended June 30, 2000, compared to cash flow provided by operating
activities of $120.0 million in the prior year. This decrease in cash flow was
primarily attributable to a $171.6 million decrease in working capital
components during the six month period ended June 30, 2000. Increases in
inventory and decreases in cash flow related to accrued expenses, primarily
attributable to the payment of accrued bonuses in the first quarter of 2000,
were partially offset by the collection of accounts receivable outstanding at
December 31, 1999. The decrease in cash flow from working capital for the first
six months of 2000 was offset by a $40.8 million increase in net income after
adjustments for non-cash items in the first six months of 2000, when compared to
the first six months of 1999.
Inventory at June 30, 2000 increased $185.9 million or 21.6% since December 31,
1999 and increased $191.4 million or 22.4% since June 30, 1999. The increases
since December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999 were due primarily to additional audio
and video products related to RadioShack's introduction of the RCA Digital
Entertainment Center at RadioShack in June 2000. Additionally, digital cellular
handsets and DTH inventory increased. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease in residential telephone inventory.
Total accounts receivable at June 30, 2000 decreased $54.6 million or 19.1%
since December 31, 1999 and increased $26.9 million or 13.1% since June 30,
1999. The decrease in accounts receivable since December 31, 1999 was due
primarily to the collection of accounts receivable from service providers
outstanding at year end. The increase since June 30, 1999 related primarily to
the acquisition of AmeriLink on July 30, 1999.
Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$26.7 million, compared to cash used by investing activities of $66.8 million in
the previous year. Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000
included capital expenditures totaling $59.2 million, primarily for retail
expansion and upgrades of information systems and, to a lesser extent, capital
expenditures relating to RadioShack's installation service operations.
Management anticipates that capital expenditure requirements will approximate
$70.0 million to $80.0 million for the remainder of 2000, primarily to support
RadioShack store refurbishments and expansions and, to a lesser extent, enhance
information systems. On January 4, 2000, RadioShack received $100.0 million in
cash from Microsoft, which related to Microsoft's investment in RadioShack.com,
LLC, a limited liability company formed by RadioShack and Microsoft for the
purpose of marketing and selling electronics products on the Internet. Proceeds
from the sale of marketable securities provided $17.4 million in cash, while
RadioShack's investment in DigitalConvergence.:Com Inc., an Internet technology
company, used $30.0 million in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$94.6 million, compared to $74.0 million in the previous year. Purchases of
treasury stock required $311.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000,
compared to $130.2 million during the same period of 1999. The current year's
stock repurchases were partially funded by a net increase in short-term debt, as
well as by $31.5 million received from the sale of treasury stock to employee
stock plans and from stock option exercises. Dividends used $22.6 million of
cash for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to a $21.3 million usage
in the same period of the prior year. In October 1999, RadioShack announced a
10% increase in the quarterly dividend payment from $0.050 per common share to
$0.055 per common share, which impacted the January 19, 2000 and April 20, 2000
dividend payments.
In the second quarter of 2000, RadioShack expanded its existing $200.0 million
364-day revolving credit facility to $300.0 million and also extended the
maturity date to June 2001. The terms of the 364-day revolving credit facility
remained similar to the previous facility. RadioShack also has a $300.0
million five-year revolving credit facility maturing June 2003. The revolving
credit facilities are used as backup for the commercial paper program and may
also be utilized for general corporate purposes.
Cash and equivalents at June 30, 2000 were $85.9 million, compared to $164.6
million at December 31, 1999 and $43.7 million at June 30, 1999. Total debt as a
percentage of total capitalization was 50.3% at June 30, 2000, compared to 38.0%
at December 31, 1999 and 36.7% at June 30, 1999. The increase in the
debt-to-capitalization ratio since December 1999 resulted primarily from a
reduction in RadioShack's stockholders' equity due to the share repurchase
programs, as well as to an increase in short-term borrowings related to
RadioShack's inventory purchases and share repurchase programs. Long-term debt
as a percentage of total capitalization was 22.0% at June 30, 2000, compared to
23.9% at December 31, 1999 and 19.2% at June 30, 1999.
The Board of Directors has authorized management to purchase up to 70.0 million
shares of RadioShack common stock through its two existing share repurchase
programs, of which approximately 68.8 million shares, totaling $1,441.3 million,
had been purchased as of June 30, 2000. During the quarter ended June 30, 2000,
RadioShack repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares for an aggregate cost of
$60.6 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2000, RadioShack repurchased
approximately 5.1 million shares totaling $237.6 million under the programs.
Purchases for either or both of these programs may continue to be made from time
to time in the open market and management expects that funding of these programs
will come primarily from excess free cash flow and short-term borrowings, if
needed, as well as from the sale of treasury stock to employee stock plans.
In connection with the share repurchase program, the Board of Directors has
authorized management to sell up to 2.0 million put options on RadioShack common
stock. RadioShack has sold approximately 1.5 million put options since the
inception of the program and 0.1 million put options remained outstanding at
June 30, 2000 at an exercise price of $39.91. These put options expire in
September 2000. Additionally, at its February 23, 2000 meeting, the Board of
Directors authorized management to supplement the put option program with equity
forwards and increased the number of shares subject to put options and equity
forwards to 4.0 million shares. The Board of Directors also extended the
expiration date for the program to no later than December 31, 2002. Put options
and equity forwards will continue to be executed from time to time in order to
take advantage of attractive share price levels, as determined by management.
The timing and terms of the transactions, including maturities, depend on market
conditions, RadioShack's liquidity and other considerations.
On May 18, 2000, the Company's stockholders voted to approve an amendment to
increase the number of authorized shares of RadioShack common stock from 250.0
million shares to 650.0 million shares. The increase in the number of authorized
shares may be used for general corporate purposes, including future stock
splits, if any, and other transactions.
RECENT EVENTS
On August 1, 2000, RadioShack announced a multi-year cellular wireless telephone
alliance with Verizon Wireless, the nation's largest wireless communications
provider. This strategic alliance will allow over 3,700 company-owned RadioShack
stores to consolidate cellular service offerings with a single supplier, thereby
creating training, marketing, inventory, repair and other supply-chain
synergies. Additionally, RadioShack and Verizon Wireless will create and
implement a "store-within-a-store" concept, which management anticipates
launching in mid-2001. In addition to RadioShack's existing relationship with
Sprint PCS, the Verizon Wireless alliance will allow RadioShack to offer a
second national wireless carrier in a majority of the Company's retail stores.
Additionally, RadioShack plans to continue offering cellular service in its
other retail outlets through various cellular carriers in areas not covered by
Verizon Wireless.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") in June 1998, which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. SFAS 133 becomes effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. RadioShack does not use derivatives for
speculative purposes and does not expect the impact of SFAS 133 to be material.
In addition, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") in late 1999. SAB 101 provides
guidance in the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial
statements. The SEC recently delayed the date that companies are required to
adopt the provisions of SAB 101 to the fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning
after December 31, 1999. RadioShack is currently analyzing the provisions of SAB
101 and the SEC interpretations, as they relate to the Company's revenue
recognition policies. The impact of the adoption of SAB 101 has not been
determined at this time.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
RadioShack has various claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties,
investigations and pending actions involving allegations of negligence, product
defects, discrimination, infringement of intellectual property rights, tax
deficiencies, violations of permits or licenses, breach of contract and other
matters against RadioShack and its subsidiaries incident to the operation of its
business. The liability, if any, associated with these matters was not
determinable at June 30, 2000. Although occasional adverse settlements or
resolutions may occur and negatively impact earnings in the year of settlement,
it is the opinion of management that their ultimate resolution will not have a
materially adverse effect on RadioShack's financial position.

Delaware, the vote thereat on any question need not be by ballot.
On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or
in his name by his proxy, if there be such proxy, and shall state the number of
shares voted by him and the number of votes to which each share is entitled. On

be produced and kept at the time and place of election during the whole time
thereof, and subject to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present.
SECTION 8. Notice of Stockholder Proposals.
(a) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall
be conducted, and only such proposals shall be acted upon, as shall have
been brought before the annual meeting (i) by, or at the direction of,
the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of record of the
Corporation who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this
Section 8 of these Bylaws. For a proposal to be properly brought before
an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given
timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To
be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to, or mailed and
received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less
than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the
scheduled annual meeting, regardless of any postponements, deferrals or
adjournments of that meeting to a later date; provided, however, that if
less than seventy (70) days' notice or prior public disclosure of the
date of the scheduled annual meeting is given or made, notice by the
stockholder to be timely must be so delivered or received not later than
the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the earlier of
the day on which such notice of the date of the scheduled annual meeting
was mailed or the day on which such public disclosure was made. A
stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter
the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief
description of the proposal desired to be brought before the annual
meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual
meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's
books, of the stockholder proposing such business and any other
stockholders known by such stockholder to be supporting such proposal,
(iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation's stock which
are beneficially owned by the stockholder on the date of such
stockholder notice and by any other stockholders known by such
stockholder to be supporting such proposal on the date of such
stockholder notice, and (iv) any financial interest of the stockholder
in such proposal.
(b) If the presiding officer of the annual meeting determines that a
stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the terms of this
Section 8, he shall so declare at the annual meeting and any such
proposal shall not be acted upon at the annual meeting.
(c) This provision shall not prevent the consideration and approval or
disapproval at the annual meeting of reports of officers, directors and
committees of the Board of Directors, but, in connection with such
reports, no business shall be acted upon at such annual meeting unless
stated, filed and received as herein provided.
(d) Any stockholder seeking to bring a proposal before an annual meeting
of the Corporation shall continue to be subject, to the extent
applicable, to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the Securities Act
of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, as well as the
requirements of this Section 8.
ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS
SECTION 1. Number. The business and property of the Corporation shall be
conducted and managed by a Board of Directors consisting of not less than three
(3) or more than fourteen (14) members.
The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall initially be composed of three
(3) directors, but the Board may at any time by resolution increase or decrease
the number of directors to not more than fourteen (14) or less than three (3).
The vacancies resulting from any such increase in the Board of Directors, or an
increase resulting from an amendment of this Section, shall be filled as
provided in Section 3 of this ARTICLE III.
SECTION 2. Term of Office. Except as otherwise provided by law such director
shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders, and until his
successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death or
resignation.
SECTION 3. Vacancies. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors, or if the
number of directors shall at any time be increased, the directors in office,
although less than a quorum, by a majority vote may fill the vacancies or newly
created directorships, or any such vacancies or newly created directorships may
be filled by the stockholders at any meeting. When one or more directors shall
resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of
the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have
power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when
such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so
chosen shall hold office as herein provided in the filling of other vacancies.
SECTION 4. Meetings. Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such
place within or without the State of Delaware as may from time to time be fixed
by resolution of the Board of Directors or by the Chairman of the Board, or the
CEO as may be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of any meeting. A
regular meeting of the Board of Directors may be held without notice immediately
following the annual meeting of stockholders at the place where such annual
meeting is held. Regular meetings of the Board may also be held without notice
at such time and place as shall from time to time be determined by resolution of
the Board of Directors.
Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the
Board, the CEO or the Secretary and shall be called by the Secretary on the

meeting shall be given to each director at least (a) twelve (12) hours before
the meeting by telephone or by being personally delivered or transmitted
electronically, via telegram, facsimile, internet or other means of electronic
transmission or (b) three (3) days before the meeting if delivered by mail to
the director's residence or usual place of business. Such notice shall be deemed
to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail so addressed, with
postage prepaid, or when transmitted if sent electronically, via telegram,
facsimile, internet or other means of electronic transmission. Neither the
business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any special meeting of the
Board of Directors needs to be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of
such meeting.
Members of the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of such Board by
means of conference telephone or similar communication equipment or by other
means provided all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and

certificates shall have ceased to be such, whether because of death, resignation
or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates shall have been issued and
delivered, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and
delivered with the same effect as if such officer or officers had not ceased to
be such at the date of its issue and delivery.
SECTION 2. Transfer of Shares. The shares of the stock of the Corporation shall
be transferred on the books of the Corporation by the holder thereof in person
or by his attorney lawfully constituted, upon surrender for cancellation of
certificates for the same number of shares, with an assignment and power of
transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof or
guaranty of the authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents
may reasonably require. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of
record of any share or shares of stock as the holder in fact thereof and
accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or
interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person whether or not
it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise expressly
provided by law.
SECTION 3. Closing of Transfer Books and Record Dates. The Board of Directors
may in its discretion prescribe in advance a period not exceeding sixty (60)
days prior to the date of any meeting of the stockholders or prior to the last
day on which the consent or dissent of stockholders may be effectively expressed
for any purpose without a meeting, during which no transfer of stock on the
books of the Corporation may be made; or in lieu of prohibiting the transfer of
stock, may fix in advance a time not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date
of any meeting of stockholders or prior to the last day on which the consent or
dissent of stockholders may be effectively expressed for any purpose without a
meeting, as the time as of which stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote
at such a meeting or whose consent or dissent is required or may be expressed
for any purpose, as the case may be, shall be determined; and all persons who
were holders of record of voting stock at such time and no others shall be

(60) days preceding the date fixed for the payment of any dividend or the making

stock, as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to
receive or participate in any such dividend, distribution, rights or interests,
notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Corporation after
any record date fixed as aforesaid, or, at its option, in lieu of so fixing a
record date, may prescribe in advance a period not exceeding sixty (60) days
prior to the date for such payment, distribution or delivery during which no
transfer of stock on the books of the Corporation may be made.
SECTION 4. Lost or Destroyed Certificates. In case of the loss or destruction of
any outstanding certificate of stock, a new certificate may be issued upon the
following conditions:
The owner of said certificate shall file with the Secretary of the Corporation
an affidavit giving the facts in relation to the ownership, and in relation to
the loss or destruction of said certificate, stating its number and the number
of shares represented thereby; such affidavit to be in such form and contain
such statements as shall satisfy the Chairman of the Board and Secretary that
said certificate has been accidentally destroyed or lost, and that a new
certificate ought to be issued in lieu thereof. Upon being so satisfied, the
Chairman of the Board and Secretary shall require such owner to file with the
Secretary a bond in such penal sum and in such form as they may deem advisable,
and with a surety or sureties approved by them, to indemnify and save harmless
the Corporation from any claim, loss, damage or liability which may be
occasioned by the issuance of a new certificate in lieu thereof, or if they deem
it appropriate, to waive the requirement to secure a bond with a surety. Upon
such bond being so filed, a new certificate for the same number of shares shall
be issued to the owner of the certificate so lost or destroyed; and the transfer
agent and registrar of stock, if any, shall countersign and register such new
certificate upon receipt of a written order signed by the said Chairman of the
Board and Secretary, and thereupon the Corporation will save harmless said
transfer agent and registrar in the premises. The CEO or the President or any
Vice President may act hereunder in the stead of the Chairman of the Board, and
an Assistant Secretary in the stead of the Secretary. In case of the surrender
of the original certificate, in lieu of which a new certificate has been issued,
or the surrender of such new certificate, for cancellation, the bond of
indemnity given as a condition of the issue of such new certificate may be
surrendered. A new certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when in
the judgment of the Board of Directors it is proper to do so.
