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

notice of, and to vote at, such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or to

original certificate if the owner (a) so requests before the Corporation has
notice that the shares have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser; (b) files
with the Corporation a sufficient indemnity bond; and (c) satisfies such other
