notice of the meeting.


2.06.   Closing of Transfer Books. For the purposes of determining the shareholders who are entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders or an adjournment thereof, or the shareholders who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the corporation may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated period not to exceed fifty days.

The original stock transfer book shall be prima facie evidence of the shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally scheduled. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of shareholders sufficient to leave less than a quorum.  Unless a greater vote on a particular matter is required by law, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, a majority vote of the shares present and entitled to vote shall carry any action proposed or voted on at a shareholders' meeting.


2.09.   Proxies.  At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by the shareholder's authorized attorney in fact.

2.10.    Voting of Shares by Certain Holders.   Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by such officer, agent, or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may



{00604274.DOCX.1}





prescribe, or, in the absence of such provisions, as the Board of Directors of such corporation may determine, provided, however, that no shares held by another corporation, the election of whose directors is controlled by this corporation, shall be entitled to vote.


Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator may be voted by such person, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into such person's name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by the trustee, either in person or by proxy, but a trustee shall not be entitled to vote shares so held without a transfer of such shares into the trustee's name.


Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by the receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by the receiver without the transfer thereof into the receiver's name if the authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court by whom the receiver was appointed.

A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.


Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or held by it in a fiduciary capacity shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting, and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.
