ARTICLE I

SHAREHOLDERS

1.    STOCK CERTIFICATES AND UNCERTIFICATED SHARES.    The shares of stock of the Company may be represented by certificates or may be uncertificated. Each holder of stock in the Company shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Company by, the Chairman of the Board, President or any Vice President and by the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, certifying the number of shares owned by him in the Company. Where any such certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent other than the Company or its employee, or by a registrar other than the Company or its employee, any other signature on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue. Absent a specific request for such a certificate by the registered owner or transferee thereof, all shares may be uncertificated upon the original issuance thereof by the Company or upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares to the Company or its transfer agent.

The Board of Directors may direct uncertificated shares or, if requested by the registered owner, a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Company alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of uncertificated shares or a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Company a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Company with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

2.    FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS.    The corporation may issue certificates for fractions of a share where necessary to effect transactions authorized by the Business Corporation Law which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to his fractional holdings, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, and participate in liquidating distributions; or it may pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such fractions are determined; or it may issue scrip in registered or bearer form over the manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the corporation or of its agent, exchangeable as therein provided for full shares, but such scrip shall not entitle the holder to any rights of a shareholder except as therein provided.

3.    TRANSFERS OF STOCK.    Transfers of record of shares of the capital stock of the Company shall be made upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized, and upon either the surrender of a certificate or certificates for a like number of shares, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly endorsed stock power, or upon presentation of proper transfer instructions from the holder of record of uncertificated shares.

4.    RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDERS.    For the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at 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 directors may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date shall not be more than fifty days nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than fifty days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of the business on the next day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if no notice is given, the day on which the meeting is held; the record date for determining shareholders for any purpose other than that specified in the preceding clause shall be at the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the directors relating thereto is adopted. When a determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this paragraph, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless directors fix a new record date under this paragraph for the adjourned meeting.

5.    MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS.    As used herein in respect of the right to notice of a meeting of shareholders or a waiver thereof or to participate or to 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 ‘‘shareholder’’ or ‘‘shareholders’’ refers to an outstanding share or shares and to a holder or holders of record of outstanding shares when the corporation is authorized to issue only one class of shares, and said reference is also intended to include any outstanding share or shares and any holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of any class upon which or upon whom the Certificate of Incorporation confers such rights where there are two or more classes or series of shares or upon which or upon whom the Business Corporation Law confers such rights notwithstanding that the Certificate of Incorporation may provide for more than one class or series of shares, one or more of which are limited or denied such rights thereunder.

6.    SHAREHODER MEETINGS.

			
		– 	TIME.    The annual meeting shall be held on the date fixed, from time to time, by the directors, provided, that the first annual meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the formation of the corporation, and each successive annual meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the date of the proceeding annual meeting. A special meeting shall be held on the date fixed by the directors except when the Business Corporation Law confers the right to fix the date upon shareholders.

			
		– 	PLACE.    The annual meeting and special meeting shall be held at such place, within or without the State of New York, as the directors may, from time to time, fix. Whenever the directors shall fail to fix such place, or, whenever the shareholders entitled to call a special meeting shall call the same, the meeting shall be held at the office of the corporation in the State of New York.

			
		– 	CALL.    Annual meetings may be called by the directors or by any officer instructed by the directors to call the meeting. Special meetings may be called in like manner except when the directors are required by the Business Corporation Law to call a meeting, or except when the shareholders are entitled by said Law to demand the call of a meeting.

			
		– 	NOTICE OR ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE WAIVER OF NOTICE.    Written notice of all meetings shall be given, stating the place, date, and hour of the meeting, and, unless it is an annual meeting, indicating that it is being issued by or at the direction of the person or persons calling the meeting. The notice of an annual meeting shall state that the meeting is called for the election of directors and for the transaction of other business which may properly come before the meeting, and shall, (if any other action which could be taken at a special meeting is to be taken at such annual meeting) state the purpose or purposes. The notice of a special meeting shall in all instances state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called; and, at any such meeting, only such business may be transacted which is related to the purpose or purposes set forth in the notice. If the directors shall adopt, amend, or repeal a by-law regulating an impending election of directors, the notice of the meeting for election of directors shall contain the statements prescribed by Section 601 (b) of the 

			
		 	
Business Corporation Law. If any action is proposed to be taken which would, if taken, entitle shareholders to receive payment for their shares, the notice shall include a statement of that purpose and to that effect. A copy of the notice of any meeting shall be given, personally or by first class mail, not less than ten days nor more than fifty days before the date of meeting, unless the lapse of the prescribed period of time shall have been waived, to each shareholder at his record address or at such other address which he may have furnished by request in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. Notice by mail shall be deemed to be given when deposited, with the postage thereon prepaid, in a post office or official depository under the exclusive care and custody of the United States post office department. If a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, and, if an announcement of the adjourned time and place is made at the meeting, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting unless the directors, after adjournment, fix a new date for the adjourned meeting. Notice of a meeting need not be given to any shareholder who submits a signed waiver of notice before or after the meeting. The attendance of a shareholder at a meeting without protesting prior to the conclusion of the meeting the lack of notice or such meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice by him.

			
		– 	SHAREHOLDER LIST AND CHALLENGE.    A list of shareholders as of the record date, certified by the Secretary or other officer responsible for its preparation or by the transfer agent, if any, shall be produced at any meeting of shareholders upon the request thereat or prior thereto of any shareholder. If the right to vote at any meeting is challenged, the inspectors of election, if any, or the person presiding thereat, shall require such list of shareholders to be produced as evidence of the right of the person challenged to vote at such meeting, and all persons who appear from such list to be shareholders entitled to vote thereat may vote at such meeting.

			
		– 	CONDUCT OF MEETING.    Meetings of the shareholders shall be presided over by one of the following officers in the order of seniority and if present and acting – the Chairman of the Board, if any, the Vice-Chairman of the Board, if any, the President, a Vice-President, or, if none of the foregoing is in office and present and acting, by a Chairman to be chosen by the shareholders. The Secretary of the corporation, or in his absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of every meeting, but if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present the Chairman of the meeting shall appoint a secretary of the meeting.

			
		– 	PROXY REPRESENTATION.    Shareholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy in all matters in which a shareholder is entitled to participate, whether by waiving notice of any meeting, voting or participating at a meeting, or expressing consent or dissent without a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the shareholder or his attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder executing it, except as otherwise provided by the Business Corporation Law.

			
		– 	INSPECTORS — APPOINTMENT.    The directors, in advance of any meeting, may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If an inspector or inspectors are not appointed, the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, if any, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors, if any, shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the results, and do such 

			
		 	
acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with the fairness to all shareholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting or any shareholder, the inspectors of inspectors, if any, shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by him or them and execute a certificate of any fact found by him or them.

			
		– 	QUORUM.    Except for a special election of directors pursuant to Section 603 (b) of the Business Corporation Law, and except as herein otherwise provided, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders for the transaction of any business. When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any shareholders. The shareholders present may adjourn the meeting despite the absence of a quorum.

			
		– 	VOTING.    Each share shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote. In the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall elect. Any other action shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast except where the Business Corporation Law prescribes a different proportion of votes.

7.    SHAREHOLDER ACTION WITHOUT MEETINGS.    Whenever shareholders are required or permitted to take any action by vote, such action may be taken without a meeting on written consent, setting forth the action so taken, signed by the holders of all shares.

8.    REGULATIONS.    Except to the extent that the exercise of such power shall be prohibited or circumscribed by these By-Laws, by the Certificate of Incorporation, or other certificate filed pursuant to law, or by statute, the Board of Directors shall have power to make such rules and regulations concerning the issuance, registration, transfer and cancellation of stock certificates and uncertificated shares as it shall deem appropriate.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding whether civil or criminal, by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not in or of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other company or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, or had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

SECTION 2.    The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, or any appeal therein, by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another company of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, of any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding or in connection with an appeal therein if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other company or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification, shall be made in respect of (1) a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (2) any claim, issued or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought, or if no action, suit or proceeding was brought, any court or competent jurisdiction shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses and settlement amount which the court shall deem proper.

SECTION 3.    To the extent that a director or officer had been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be entitled to indemnification as authorized in such sections.

SECTION 4.    Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 (except as set forth in Section 3 or unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case: (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, (a) by the Board upon the written opinion of independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the applicable standard of conduct 

set forth in Sections 1 and 2 has been met, or (b) by the shareholders upon a finding that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2.

SECTION 5.    Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as set forth in Section 4 or as ordered by a court in the specific case, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined as set forth in Section 4 or as ordered by a court that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article or otherwise or where indemnification is granted, to the extent the expenses so advanced by the corporation or allowed by the court exceed the indemnification to which he is entitled.

SECTION 6.    The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to the other sections of this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, civil or criminal, (including an action brought by or on behalf of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another company, of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or of any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, provided that no indemnification may be made to, or on behalf of, any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled.

SECTION 7.

(A)    The corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance:

			
		(1)  	To indemnify the corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors and officers under the provisions of this article, and

			
		(2) 	To indemnify directors and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by the corporation under the provisions of this article, and

			
		(3)  	To indemnify directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the corporation under the provisions of this article provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the superintendent of insurance, for a retention amount and for co-insurance.

(B)    No insurance under paragraph (A) may provide for any payment, other than cost of defense, to or on behalf of any director or officer:

			
		(1) 	if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the insured director or officer establishes that his acts of active and deliberate dishonestly were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled, or

			
		(2) 	in relation to any risk the insurance of which is prohibited under the insurance law of this state.

ARTICLE IX
