corporation or by agents designated by the Board of Directors, certifying the
number of shares owned by him in the corporation and setting forth any

agent or the transfer clerk or the registrar of the corporation may be printed
or lithographed upon the certificate in lieu of the actual signatures. If any
officer or officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or
signatures shall have been used on any certificate or certificates shall cease
to be such officer or officers of the corporation before such certificate or
certificates shall have been delivered by the corporation, the certificate or
certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the corporation and be issued and

certificates, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used
thereon, had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation.
Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than
one class of stock or more than one series of any class of stock, the
certificates representing stock of any such class or series shall set forth
thereon the statements prescribed by the General Corporation Law. Any
restrictions on the transfer or registration of transfer of any shares of stock
of any class or series shall be noted conspicuously on the certificate
representing such shares.
The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in place of
any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or
destroyed, and the Board of Directors may require the owner of any lost, stolen,
or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the corporation a
bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made
against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such
certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

share, the corporation may proceed in the manner prescribed by the provisions of
Section 78.205 of the General Corporation Law.
3. STOCK TRANSFERS. Upon compliance with provisions restricting
the transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock, if any, transfers
or registration of transfers of shares of stock of the corporation shall be made

the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders
or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or the allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights
in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock or for the purpose of
any other lawful action, the directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which
shall not be more than sixty days nor less than ten days before the date of such
meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. If a record date is
not fixed, the record date is at the close of business on the day before the day
on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on
the day before the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders applies to an
adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may
fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. The directors must fix a new
record date if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than sixty days later
than the date set for the original meeting.
5. MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS. As used in these Bylaws in respect of
the right to notice of a meeting of stockholders or a waiver thereof or to
participate or vote thereat or to consent or dissent in writing in lieu of a
meeting, as the case may be, the term "share" or "shares" or "share of stock" or
"shares of stock" or "stockholder" or "stockholders" refers to an outstanding
share or shares of stock and to a holder or holders of record of outstanding
shares of stock when the corporation is authorized to issue only one class of
shares of stock, and said reference is also intended to include any outstanding
share or shares of stock and any holder or holders of record of outstanding
shares of stock of any class upon which or upon whom the Articles of
Incorporation confers such rights where there are two or more classes or series
of shares of stock or upon which or upon whom the General Corporation Law
confers such rights notwithstanding that the articles of incorporation may
provide for more than one class or series of shares of stock, one or more of
which are limited or denied such rights thereunder; provided, however, that no
such right shall vest in the event of an increase or a decrease in the
authorized number of shares of stock of any class or series which is otherwise
denied voting rights under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation.

at least a majority of the voting power; provided that if a different proportion
of voting power is required for such an action at a meeting, then that
