Section 2-1.  Place of Meetings of Shareholders.  Meetings of shareholders shall be held at such places, within or without the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.  If no such place is fixed by the Board of Directors, meetings of the shareholders shall be held at the registered office of the Corporation.

 

Section 2-2.  Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

 

(a)                                  Time.  A meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation shall be held in each calendar year, commencing with the year 1997, at such time as the Board of Directors may determine, or if the Board of Directors fails to set a time, on the 15th day of June at 10:00 o’clock a.m., if not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, and if such day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then such meeting shall be held on the next business day.  If the annual meeting is not called and held within six months after the designated time, any shareholder may call the meeting at any time thereafter.

 

(b)                                 Election of Directors.  At such annual meeting, there shall be held an election of directors.

 

Section 2-3.  Special Meetings of Shareholders.  Except as expressly required by law, special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time only by:

 

(a)                                  the Chairman of the Board, if any, if such officer is serving as the chief executive officer of the Corporation, and otherwise the President of the Corporation;

 

(b)                                 the Board of Directors; or

 

(c)                                  shareholders entitled to cast at least 20% of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast at the particular special meeting.

 

Upon the written request of any person who has called a special meeting, under these Bylaws or applicable law, which request specifies the general nature of the business to be transacted at such meeting, it shall be the duty of the Secretary to fix the time and place of such meeting, which shall be held not less than five nor more than 60 days after the receipt of such request, and to give due notice thereof as required by Section 2-4 hereof.  If the Secretary neglects or refuses to fix the time and place of such meeting, the person or persons calling the

(b)                                 Action by Shareholders.  Whenever any corporate action is to be taken by vote of the shareholders of the Corporation at a duly organized meeting of shareholders, it shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon, except, prior to the Expiration Date, as defined in Section 3-2 hereof, pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement among the member companies of the Paperboard Group, as defined in Section 3-2 hereof, Edward P. Fitts, Jr., the Corporation and the Fitts Voting Trust, dated May 2, 1997 (the “Shareholders Agreement”), certain actions of the shareholders require authorization by the affirmative vote all of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon and certain other actions require the authorization by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon.  Unless the Pennsylvania BCL permits otherwise, this Section 2-5(b) may be modified only by a By-law amendment adopted by the shareholders.

 

(c)                                  Withdrawal.  Subject to the terms of Sections 3.5 and 3.6 of the Shareholders Agreement, the shareholders present at a duly organized meeting can continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.

(e)                                  Conduct of Other Business at Adjourned Meetings.  Those shareholders entitled to vote who attend a meeting of shareholders that has been previously adjourned because of an absence of a quorum, although less than a quorum as fixed in subsection (a), shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of acting upon any matter set forth in the notice of meeting upon the meeting being reconvened, by written notice to all the shareholders, at a place and time (not less than three days and not more than 20 days after the date thereof) to be specified in such notice.

 

Section 2-6.  Adjournments.

 

(a)                                  General Rule.  Adjournments of any regular or special meeting of shareholders may be taken, but any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall be adjourned only from day to day, or for such longer periods not exceeding 15 days each as the shareholders present and entitled to vote shall direct, until the directors have been elected.

11



 

Directors, every share certificate shall be signed by two officers and sealed with the corporate seal, which may be a facsimile, engraved or printed, but where such certificate is signed by a transfer agent or a registrar, the signature of any corporate officer upon such certificate may be a facsimile, engraved or printed.  In case any officer who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, any share certificate shall have ceased to be such officer because of death, resignation or otherwise, before the certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if the officer had not ceased to be such at the date of its issue.  The provisions of this Section 5-1 shall be subject to any inconsistent or contrary agreement at the time between the Corporation and any transfer agent or registrar.

 

(b)                                 Designations, etc.  To the extent the Corporation is authorized to issue shares of more than one class or series, every certificate shall set forth upon the face or back of the certificate (or shall state on the face or back of the certificate that the Corporation will furnish to any shareholder upon request and without charge) a full or summary statement of the designations, voting rights, preferences, limitations and special rights of the shares of each class or series authorized to be issued so far as they have been fixed and determined and the authority of the Board of Directors to fix and determine the designations, voting rights, preferences, limitations and special rights of the classes and series of shares of the Corporation.

Section 5-2.  Transfer of Shares.  Transfer of shares shall be made on the books of the Corporation only upon surrender of the share certificate, duly endorsed or with duly executed stock powers attached and otherwise in proper form for transfer, which certificate shall be canceled at the time of the transfer.

 

Section 5-3.  Determination of Shareholders of Record.

 

(a)                                  Fixing Record Date.  The Board of Directors of the Corporation may fix a time prior to the date of any meeting of shareholders as a record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, the meeting, which time, except in the case of an adjourned meeting, shall be not more than 30 days prior to the date of the meeting of shareholders.  Only shareholders of record on the date fixed shall be so entitled notwithstanding any transfer of shares on the books of the Corporation after any record date fixed as provided in this subsection.  The Board of Directors may similarly fix a record date for the determination of shareholders of record for any other purpose.  When a determination of shareholders of record has been made as provided in this section for purposes of a meeting, the determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

(b)                                 Determination when No Record Date Fixed.  If a record date is not fixed:

 

(i)                                     The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding

 

12



 

the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

 

(ii)                                  The record date for determining shareholders entitled to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when prior action by the Board of Directors is not necessary, shall be the close of business on the day on which the first written consent or dissent is filed with the Secretary of the Corporation.

 

(iii)                               The record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

 

(c)                                  Certification by Nominee.  The Board of Directors may adopt a procedure whereby a shareholder of the Corporation may certify in writing to the Corporation that all or a portion of the shares registered in the name of the shareholder are held for the account of a specified person or persons.  The resolution of the Board of Directors may set forth:

 

(i)                                     the classification of shareholder who may certify;

 

(ii)                                  the purpose or purposes for which the certification may be made;

 

(iii)                               the form of certification and information to be contained therein;

 

(iv)                              if the certification is with respect to a record date, the time after the record date within which the certification must be received by the Corporation; and

 

(v)                                 such other provisions with respect to the procedure as are deemed necessary or desirable.

 

Upon receipt by the Corporation of a certification complying with the procedure, the persons specified in the certification shall be deemed, for the purposes set forth in the certification, to be the holders of record of the number of shares specified in place of the shareholder making the certification.

Section 5-5.  Uncertificated Shares.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any or all classes and series of shares, or any part thereof, may be represented by uncertificated shares to the extent determined by the Board of Directors, except that shares represented by a certificate that is issued and outstanding shall continue to be represented thereby until the certificate is surrendered to the Corporation.  Within a reasonable time after the issuance or

 

13



 

transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof, a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates.  The rights and obligations of the holders of shares represented by certificates and the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated shares of the same class and series shall be identical.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of Section 5-2 shall be inapplicable to uncertificated shares and in lieu thereof the Board of Directors shall adopt alternative procedures for registration of transfers.

 

ARTICLE VI - NOTICES - COMPUTING TIME PERIODS

 

Section 6-1.  Contents of Notice.  Whenever any notice of a meeting is required to be given pursuant to these Bylaws or the Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) or otherwise, the notice shall specify the place and time of the meeting; in the case of a special meeting of shareholders or where otherwise required by law or the Bylaws, the general nature of the business to be transacted at such meeting; and any other information required by law.

 

Section 6-2.  Method of Notice.  Whenever written notice is required to be given to any person under the provisions of the Articles or these Bylaws, it may be given to the person either personally or by sending a copy thereof by first class or express mail, postage prepaid, or by telegram (with messenger service specified), telex or TWX (with answerback received) or courier service, charges prepaid, or by telecopier, to such person’s address (or to such person’s telex, TWX, telecopier or telephone number) appearing on the books of the Corporation or, in the case of Directors, supplied by such Director to the Corporation for the purpose of notice.  If the notice is sent by mail, telegraph or courier service, it shall be deemed to have been given to the person entitled thereto when deposited in the United States mail or with a telegraph office or courier service for delivery to that person or, in the case of telex or TWX, when dispatched.  Except as otherwise provided herein, or as otherwise directed by the Board of Directors, notices of meetings may be given by, or at the direction of the Secretary.

(a)                                  Days to be Counted.  In computing the number of days for purposes of these Bylaws, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays or a holiday on which national banks are or may elect to be closed (“Holiday”); provided, however, that if the final day of any time period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday, then the final day shall be deemed to be the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday.  In computing the number of days for the purpose of giving notice of any meeting, the date upon which the notice is given shall be counted but the day set for the meeting shall not be counted.

 

(b)                                 One Day Notice.  In any case where only one day’s notice is being given, notice must be given at least 24 hours in advance by delivery in person, telephone, telex, TWX, telecopier or similar means of communication.

 

Section 6-4.  Waiver of Notice.  Whenever any notice is required to be given by law or the Articles or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to the notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of the notice.  Except as otherwise required by law or the next sentence, neither the

 

14



 

business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, a meeting need be specified in the waiver of notice of the meeting.  In the case of a special meeting of shareholders, the waiver of notice shall specify the general nature of the business to be transacted.  Attendance of a person at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting except where a person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHER PERSONS

(ii)                                  The right to indemnification provided in this Section shall include the right to have the expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in defending any Proceeding paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Pennsylvania law; provided that, if Pennsylvania law continues so to require, the payment of such expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced without interest if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise.

 

(iii)                               Indemnification pursuant to this Section shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a Director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

 

15



 

(iv)                              For purposes of this Article, (A) “Indemnitee” shall mean each Director or officer of the Corporation who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving in any capacity at the request or for the benefit of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee, agent, partner, or fiduciary of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise; and (B) “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including without limitation an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or through arbitration.

 

(b)                                 Indemnification of Employees and Other Persons.  The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors and to the extent provided in such action, indemnify employees and other persons as though they were Indemnitees.  To the extent that an employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

 

(c)                                  Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles or Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or Directors, or otherwise.

(e)                                  Fund For Payment of Expenses.  The Corporation may create a fund of any nature, which may, but need not be, under the control of a trustee, or otherwise may secure in any manner its indemnification obligations, whether arising hereunder, under the Articles, by agreement, vote of shareholders or Directors, or otherwise.

 

Section 7-3.  Amendment.  The provisions of this Article VII relating to the limitation of Directors’ liability, to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses shall constitute a contract between the Corporation and each of its Directors and officers which may be modified as to any Director or officer only with that person’s consent or as specifically provided in this Section.  Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws relating to their amendment generally, any repeal or amendment of this Article VII which is adverse to any Director or officer shall apply to such Director or officer only on a prospective basis, and shall not reduce any limitation on the personal liability of a Director of the Corporation, or limit the rights of an Indemnitee to indemnification or to the advancement of expenses with respect to any action or failure to act occurring prior to the time of such repeal or amendment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws, no repeal or amendment of these Bylaws shall affect any or all

 

16



 

of this Article so as either to reduce the limitation of Directors’ liability or limit indemnification or the advancement of expenses in any manner unless adopted by (a) the unanimous vote of the Directors of the Corporation then serving, or (b) the affirmative vote of shareholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast in the election of Directors; provided that no such amendment shall have retroactive effect inconsistent with the preceding sentence.

 

Section 7-4.  Changes in Pennsylvania Law.  References in this Article VII to Pennsylvania law or to any provision thereof shall be to such law as it existed on the date this Article VII was adopted or as such law thereafter may be changed; provided that (a) in the case of any change which expands the liability of Directors or limits the indemnification rights or the rights to advancement of expenses which the Corporation may provide, the rights to limited liability, to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in this Article shall continue as theretofore to the extent permitted by law; and (b) if such change permits the Corporation without the requirement of any further action by shareholders or Directors to limit further the liability of Directors (or limit the liability of officers) or to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than the Corporation was permitted to provide prior to such change, then liability thereupon shall be so limited and the rights to indemnification and the advancement of expenses shall be so broadened to the extent permitted by law.
