An affidavit of the  secretary  or  other  persons  giving  the   notice  or  of  the  transfer  agent  of the corporation that the notice   required by this section has been given shall, in the absence of  fraud,   be prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated.2.

However,  if after the adjournment the board fixes a new record date for   the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be  given   to  each stockholder of record on the new record date entitled to notice   under subdivision one.3.

Except  when  other  provision  shall  have  been  made by written agreement between the parties, the record holder  of  shares  which  are held  by  a  pledgee as security or which belong to another, upon demand therefor and payment of necessary expenses thereof, shall issue  to  the pledgor  or  to  such owner of such shares a proxy to vote or take other action thereon.   5. A stockholder shall not sell his vote or issue a proxy to  vote  to any  person  for  any  sum  of  money  or  anything  of value, except as authorized in this section and section six thousand twenty.   6.
