     Section 1. The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates or shall be
uncertificated. Certificates shall be signed by the chairman or vice-chairman of the board or the
president or a vice-president and the secretary or an assistant secretary or the treasurer or an
assistant treasurer of the corporation and may be sealed with the seal of the corporation or a
facsimile thereof.

     When the corporation is authorized to issue shares of more than one class, there shall be set
forth upon the face or back of the certificate, or the certificate shall have a statement that the
corporation will furnish to any shareholder upon request and without charge, a full statement of
the designation, relative rights, preferences, and limitations of the shares of each class
authorized to be issued and, if the corporation is authorized to issue any class of preferred
shares in series, the designation, relative rights, preferences and limitations of each such series

facsimiles if the certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or registered by a registrar
other than the corporation itself or an employee of the corporation, or if the shares are listed on
a national security exchange. 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, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer at the
date of issue.

expedient, and may require such indemnities as it deems adequate, to protect the corporation from
any claim that may be made against it with respect to any such certificate alleged to have been
lost or destroyed.

any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or dissent from
any proposal without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive
payment of any dividend or the allotment of any rights, or for the purpose of any other action, the
board of directors may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of
shareholders. Such date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of any
meeting nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. When a determination of shareholders of
