If mailed, the notice will be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation.





SECTION 1.5.                                           Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date.  For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or vote at any shareholders’ meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to determine shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board may close the stock transfer books for a stated period not to exceed seventy days.  If the stock transfer books are closed to determine shareholders entitled to notice of or vote at a shareholders’ meeting, such books shall be closed for at least 10 days immediately preceding such meeting.  In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board my fix in advance a date as the record date for a determination of shareholders, such date to be not more than seventy days, prior to the date on which the particular action requiring a determination of shareholders is to be taken.  If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or vote at a shareholders’ meeting, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the day before the notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for the determination of shareholders.  Any determination of shareholders entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting made as provided in this Section shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the Board fixes a new record date, which it shall do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting for inspection by any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting for the purposes







thereof.  The original stock transfer book is prima facie evidence as to the shareholders who are entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any shareholders’ meeting.

At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation, or any 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, shall be signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.





SECTION 1.11.                                           Shareholder Proposals.

Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted on a shareholder proposal or nomination except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 1.11.  The requirements of this Section are in addition to any other requirements established by law and do not impair the effect of the requirements of Section 1.2 of these Bylaws relating to business permitted to be transacted at special shareholders’ meetings.
