meeting of the shareholders will be held at a time and on a date each year set
by the Board of Directors, and provided for in the notice of the meeting, for
the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business
as may come before the meeting. If the election of directors will not be held on
the day designated for the annual meeting of the shareholders, or any
adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors will cause the election to be held
at a special meeting of the shareholders as may be
convenient.
Section 2.02 Special
Meetings. Special meetings
of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the
President, or by the Board of Directors, or in their absence or disability, by
any Vice President; and will be called by the President, or in his or her
absence or disability, by a Vice President or by the Secretary upon the
written
request of the holders of not less than 15% of all the shares entitles to vote
at the meeting, such written request to state the purpose or purposes of the
meeting and to be delivered to the President, each Vice President, or Secretary.
In case of failure to call such meeting within 60 days after such request, such
shareholder or shareholders may call the same.
Section 2.03 Place of
Meetings. The Board of
Directors may designate any place, either within or without the state of
incorporation, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special
meeting called by the Board of Directors. A waiver of notice signed by all
shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting may designate any place, either
within or without the state of incorporation, as the place for the holding of
such meeting. If no designation is made, or if the special meeting be otherwise
called, the place of meeting will be at the principal office of the
corporation.
Section 2.04 Notice of
Meetings. The Secretary or
Assistant Secretary, if any, will cause notice of the time, place, and purpose
or purposes of all meetings of the shareholders (whether annual or special), to
be mailed at least 10 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the meeting, to
each shareholder of record entitled to vote.
Section 2.05 Waiver of
Notice. Any shareholder
may waive notice of any meeting of shareholders (however called or noticed,
whether or not called or noticed and whether before, during, or after the
meeting), by signing a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of
such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. Attendance at a meeting, in
person or by proxy, will constitute waiver of all defects of call or notice
regardless of whether waiver, consent, or approval is signed or any objections
are made. All such waivers, consents, or approvals will be made a part of the
minutes of the meeting.
Section 2.06 Fixing
Record Date. For the
purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
annual meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or in order to make a determination
of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the
corporation may provide that the share transfer books will be closed, for the
purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such
meeting, but not for a period exceeding 60 days. If the share transfer books are
closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to
vote at such meeting, such books will be closed for at least 10 days immediately
preceding such meeting.
In lieu
of closing the share transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a
date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in
any case to be not more than 60 days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders,
not less than 10 days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring
such determination of shareholders is to be taken. If the share transfer books
are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting or to receive payment of a
dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which
the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as
the case may be, will be the record date for such determination of shareholders.
When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders has been made as provided in this Section will not affect the
validity of any action taken at a meeting of shareholders.

agent of the corporation having charge of the share transfer books for shares of
the corporation will make, at least 10 days before each meeting of shareholders,

the number of shares held by each, which list, for a period of 10 days prior to
such meeting, will be kept on file at the registered office of the corporation
and will be subject to inspection by any shareholder during the whole time of
the meeting. The original share transfer book will be prima

shareholders who are entitled to examine such list or transfer books, or to vote
at any meeting of shareholders.
Section 2.08 Quorum. A majority of the total voting power
of the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in
person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at a meeting of the shareholders.
If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power
represented by shares at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject will
constitute action by the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or
voting by classes is required by the laws of the state of incorporation of the
corporation or the Articles of Incorporation. If less than a majority of the
outstanding voting power is represented at a meeting, a majority of the voting
power represented by shares so present may adjourn the meeting from time to time
without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum will be
present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.
Section 2.09 Voting of
Shares. Each outstanding
share of the corporation entitled to vote will be entitled to one vote on each
matter submitted to vote at a meeting of share holders, except to the extent
that the voting rights of the shares of any class or series of stock are
determined and specified as greater or lesser than one vote per share in the
manner provided by the Articles of Incorporation.
Section 2.10 Proxies. At each meeting of the shareholders,
each shareholder entitled to vote will be entitled to vote in person or by
proxy; provided, however, that the right to vote by
proxy will exist only in case the instrument authorizing such proxy to act will
have been executed in writing by the registered holder or holders of such
shares, as the case may be, as shown on the share transfer of the corporation or
by his or her or her attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing. Such
instrument authorizing a proxy to act will be delivered at the beginning of such
meeting to the Secretary of the corporation or to such other officer or person
who may, in the absence of the Secretary, be acting as Secretary of the meeting.
In the event that any such instrument will designate two or more persons to act
as proxies, a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or if only one be
present, that one will (unless the instrument will otherwise provide) have all
of the powers conferred by the instrument on all persons so designated. Persons
holding stock in a fiduciary capacity will be entitled to vote the shares so
held and the persons whose shares are pledged will be entitled to vote, unless
in the transfer by the pledge or on the books of the corporation he or she will
have expressly empowered the pledge to vote thereon, in which case the pledge,
or his or her proxy, may represent such shares and vote
thereon.
Section 2.11 Written
Consent to Action by Shareholders. Any action required to be taken at a
meeting of the shareholders, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting
of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing,
setting forth the action so taken, will be signed by shareholders holding at
least a majority of the shares entitled to vote with respect to the subject
matter thereof, except that if a different proportion of voting power is
required for such an action at a meeting, then the proportion of written
consents is required.

SHARES
Section 6.01 Share
Certificates. Every holder
of shares in the corporation will be entitled to have a certificate, signed by
the President or any Vice President and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary,
and sealed with the seal (which may be a facsimile, engraved, or printed) of the
corporation, certifying the number and kind, class or series of shares owned by
him or her in the corporation; provided, however, that where such a
certificate is countersigned by (a) a transfer agent or an assistant transfer
agent, or (b) registered by a registrar, the signature of any such President,
Vice President, Secretary, or Assistant Secretary may be a facsimile. In case
any officer who will have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures
will have been used on any such certificate, will cease to be such officer of
the corporation, for any reason, before the delivery of such certificate by the
corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be adopted by the corporation and
be issued and delivered as though the person who signed it, or whose facsimile
signature or signatures will have been used thereon, has not ceased to be such
officers. Certificates representing shares of the corporation will be in such
form as provided by the statues of the state of incorporation. There will be
entered on the share books of the corporation at the time of issuance of each
share, the number of the certificate issued, the name and address of the person
owning the shares represented thereby, the number and kind, class or series of
such shares, and the date of issuance thereof. Every certificate exchanged or
returned to the corporation will be marked “Canceled” with the date of
cancellation.
Section 6.02 Transfer of
Shares. Transfers of
shares of the corporation will be made on the books of the corporation by the
holder of record thereof, or by his or her attorney thereunto duly authorized by
a power of attorney duly executed in writing and filed with the Secretary of the
corporation or any of its transfer agents, and on surrender of the certificate
or certificates, properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of
transfer, representing such shares. Except as provided by law, the corporation
and transfer agents and registrars, if any, will be entitled to treat the holder
of record of any such stock as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and
accordingly, will not be bound to recognize any legal, equitable, or other claim
to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person whether or not it
or they will have express or other notice thereof.
Section 6.03 Regulations. Subject to the provisions of this
Article VI and of the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors may make
such rules and regulation as they deem expedient concerning the issuance,
transfer, redemption, and registration of certificates for shares of the
corporation.
Section 6.04 Maintenance
of Stock Ledger at Principal Place of Business. A share book (or books where more
than one kind, class, or series of stock is outstanding) will be kept at the
principal place of business of the corporation, or at such other place as the
Board of Directors will determine, containing the names, alphabetically
arranged, or original shareholders of the corporation, their addresses, their
interest, the amount paid on their shares, and all transfer thereof and the
number and class of shares held by each. Such share books will at all reasonable
hours be subject to inspection by persons entitled by law to inspect the
same.
Section 6.05 Transfer
Agents and Registrars. The
Board of Directors may appoint one or more transfer agents and one or more
registrars with respect to the certificates representing shares of the
corporation, and may require all such certificates to bear the signature of
either or both. The Board of Directors may from time to time define the
respective duties of such transfer agents and registrars. No certificate for
shares will be valid until countersigned by a transfer agent, if at the date
appearing thereon the corporation had a transfer agent for such shares, and
until registered by a registrar, if at such the date the corporation had a
registrar for such shares.
Section 6.06 Closing of
Transfer Books and Fixing of Record Date.

power to close the share books of the corporation for a period of not to
exceed 10 days preceding the date of any meeting of shareholders, or the

capital shares will go into effect, or a date in connection with obtaining
the consent of shareholders for any
purpose.
|
|
(b)
|
In lieu of closing the share
transfer books as aforesaid, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a
date, not exceeding 60 preceding the date of any meeting of shareholders,
or the date for the payment of any dividend, or the date for the allotment
of rights, or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of
capital shares will got into effect, or a date in connection with
obtaining any such consent, as a record date for the determination of the
shareholders entitled to a notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting and
any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any such
dividend, or to any such allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in
respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or to
give such consent.

Section 6.07 Lost or
Destroyed Certificates.
The corporation may issue a new certificate for shares of the corporation of any
certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost or destroyed,
and the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, require the owner of the lost
or destroyed certificate or his or her legal representatives, to give the
corporation a bond in such form and amount as the Board of Directors may direct,
and with such surety or sureties as may be satisfactory to the board, to
indemnify the corporation and its transfer agents and registrars, if any,
against any claims that may be made against the corporation and its or any such
transfer agent or registrar on account of the issuance of such new certificate.
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.
Section 6.08 No
Limitation on Voting Rights; Limitation on Dissenter’s Rights. To the extent permissible under the
applicable law of any jurisdiction to which the corporation may become subject
by reason of the conduct of business, the ownership of assets, the residence of
shareholders, the location of offices or facilities, or any other item, the
corporation elects not to be governed by the provisions of any offices or
facilities, or any other item, the corporation elects not to be governed by the
provisions of any statue that (i) limits, restricts, modified, suspends,
terminates, or otherwise affects the rights of any shareholder to cast one vote
for each share of common stock registered in the name of such shareholder on the
books of the corporation, without regard to whether such shares were acquired
directly from the corporation or from any other person and without regard to
whether such shareholder has the power to exercise or direct the exercise of
voting power over any specific fraction of the shares of common stock of the
corporation issued and outstanding or (ii) grants to any shareholder the right
to have his or her stock redeemed or purchased by the corporation or any other
shareholder on the acquisition by any person or group of persons of shares of
the corporation. In particular, to the extent permitted under the laws of the
state of incorporation, the corporation elects not to be governed by any such
provision, including the provisions of the New York Control Share Acquisitions
Act, Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the New York Revised Statues, or
any statue of similar effect or tenor.

INDEMNIFICATION,
INSURANCE, AND
Section 8.01 Indemnification:
Third Party Actions. The
corporation will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, or suit by or
in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’
fees) judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding,
if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo
contendere or its
equivalent, will not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that
his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 8.02 Indemnification:
Corporate Actions. The
corporation will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made
in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such a person will have
been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of
his or her duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court
in which the action or suit was brought will determine on application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the
case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses as the court deems proper.
Section 8.03 Determination. To the extent that a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in
Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter
therein, he or she will be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
Any other indemnification under Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, will be made by
the corporation upon a determination that indemnification of the officer,
director, employee, or assent is proper in the circumstances because he or she
has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 8.01 and 8.02
hereof. Such determination will be made either (i) by the Board of Directors by
a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such
action, suit, or proceeding; or (ii) by independent legal counsel on a written
opinion; or (iii) by the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum at any
meeting duly called for such purpose.
Section 8.04 General
Indemnification. The
indemnification provided by this Section will not be deemed exclusive of any
other indemnification granted under any provision of any statue, in the
corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, these By-Laws, agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his
or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee, or agent, and will inure to the benefit of the heirs and
legal representatives of such a person.
Section 8.05 Advances. Expenses incurred in defending a
civil or cranial action, suit, or proceeding as contemplated in this Section may
be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit, or proceeding upon a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors
and upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officers,
employee, or agent to repay such amount or amounts unless if it is ultimately
determined that he or she is the agent to indemnified by the corporation as
authorized by this Section.
Section 8.06 Scope of
Indemnification. The
indemnification authorized by this Section will apply to all present and future
directors, officers, employees, and agents of the corporation and will continue
as to such persons who ceases to be directors, officers, employees, or agents of
the corporation, and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and
administrators of all such persons and will be in addition to all other
indemnification permitted by law.
Section 8.07 Insurance. The corporation may purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, employee,
or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or
arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would
have the power to him or her against any such liability and under the laws of
the state of incorporation, as the same may hereafter be amended or
modified.
