SERVICE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

(1) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Service Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Strata Bank (the “Bank”), a Massachusetts chartered savings bank, and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Medway Security Corporation and Franklin Village Security Corporation, both of which engage solely in the purchase and sale of securities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. A summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company is set forth in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2003.

 

(2) Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares (common stock equivalents) that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and unvested stock granted under the Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”) and are determined using the treasury stock method. Assumed conversion of the outstanding dilutive stock options and unvested RRP stock would increase the shares outstanding, but would not require an adjustment to income as a result of the conversion.

 

(3) Commitments

 

At March 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $10.9 million. Unused lines of credit and open commitments available to customers at March 31, 2004 amounted to $32.7 million, of which $16.1 million were home equity lines of credit.

(8) Subordinated Debentures

 

On March 16, 2004, Service Capital Trust I (“Trust I”), a newly formed trust sponsored by the Company, participated in a pooled offering of trust preferred securities. In connection with this offering, Trust I issued $3.0 million of trust preferred securities and reinvested the proceeds in a 30 year $3.0 million junior subordinated debenture issued by the Company. Interest is calculated on the subordinated debenture and trust preferred securities at a rate equal to the three-month London Interbank Offering Rate plus 285 basis points. The junior subordinated debenture represents the sole asset of Trust I. The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions and other payments due on the trust preferred securities (the “Guarantee”). The Guarantee, when taken together with the Company’s obligations under (i) the Junior Subordinated Debentures; (ii) the indenture pursuant to which the Junior Subordinated Debentures were issued; and (iii) the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust governing Trust I, constitutes a full and unconditional guarantee of Trust I’s obligations under the trust preferred securities.

 

Under regulatory capital guidelines, trust preferred securities, within certain limitations, qualify as regulatory capital. Trust I, consistent with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, “Variable Interest Entities”, is not consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Therefore, the Company presents in its consolidated financial statements junior subordinated debt as a liability and its investment in Trust I as a component of other assets.

 

(9) Stock Compensation Plan

 

At March 31, 2004, the Company had a stock option plan, which is described more fully in Note 11 of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2003. The Company measures compensation cost for its stock option plan using the intrinsic value based method of accounting, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under the Company’s stock option plan have no intrinsic value at the grant date and no compensation cost is recognized for them.

 

Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plan been determined using the fair value method based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the Company’s net income and earnings per share for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

 

General

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believe”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. These important factors include, without limitation, competitive conditions in the Bank’s marketplace generally, the Bank’s continued ability to originate quality loans, fluctuation in interest rates including fluctuations which may affect the Bank’s interest rate spread, real estate conditions in the Bank’s lending areas, changes in the securities or financial markets, changes in loan defaults and charge-off rates, general and local economic conditions, the Bank’s continued ability to attract and retain deposits, the Company’s ability to control costs, new accounting pronouncements, and changing regulatory requirements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements, which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2003

 

Total assets were $310.5 million at March 31, 2004, an increase of $10.6 million, or 3.5% from the $299.9 million at June 30, 2003. Reductions in short-term investments of $16.1 million, or 56.9% and securities of $14.9 million, or 21.0%, were reinvested in loans, which increased $43.0 million, or 23.7%. Total deposits decreased $9.4 million, or 3.9%, while long-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”) increased $15.1 million, or 42.8%. In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 the Company participated in a pooled offering of trust preferred securities. In connection with this offering, a trust subsidiary of the Company issued $3.0 million of trust preferred securities. The proceeds of the sale of the securities were in turn invested in a 30 year $3.0 million subordinate debenture issued by the Company. For a further discussion of the subordinated debenture refer to Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-QSB.

 

Short-term investments, which consisted primarily of overnight funds sold, were reduced by $16.1 million since June 30, 2003 to $12.2 million at March 31, 2004 to fund loan growth and due to the anticipated decrease in funding from NOW deposit accounts used by attorneys in connection with loan closings on residential mortgages. A decrease in the level of residential loan refinance activity reduced the volume of loan closings for attorneys, which consequently reduced the balance levels in attorney deposit accounts at the Bank.

 

Total investment securities were $56.2 million at March 31, 2004, a decrease of $14.9 million since June 30, 2003. The decrease in securities was due to amortization and prepayment on mortgage-backed securities, federal agency bond calls and maturity and due to a restructuring of a portion of the portfolio which considered future funding requirements for loans, opportunities in the marketplace for certain bonds and opportunity to strengthen the Bank’s future net interest margin and earnings. The restructuring included the sale of low yielding federal agency bonds, certain corporate bonds and several equity securities. These transactions resulted in a net gain from the sale of securities of $56,000 for the first nine months ending March 31, 2004. These reductions to securities were only partially offset by $11.4 million in securities purchases since June 30, 2003.

 

In September 2003, the Bank sold two corporate bonds from the same issuer, a $1.0 million bond designated as available for sale and a $500,000 bond designated as held to maturity. Bank management had considered the bond’s placement by the bond rating agencies to negative credit watch for possible downgrading to junk bond status and management reviewed the financial condition and operating performance of the issuer. As a result, management determined that there was “significant deterioration” in the credit worthiness of the bonds and subsequently sold both bonds for a gain of $34,000. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” the determination of “significant deterioration” of the credit worthiness of the held to maturity bond and subsequent sale, does not call into question management’s intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future.

 

Residential real estate loans are originated through the residential mortgage division of the Bank, the Strata Mortgage Center. The Bank also had a contractual arrangement with Marathon Mortgage Company (“Marathon”), an independent mortgage loan origination company, which supplemented the Bank’s residential mortgage loan origination business. During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, however, the Bank added to its staffing level at Strata Mortgage Center to be able to service all of the Bank’s residential loan customers. As a result, the additional loan origination services provided by Marathon were no longer required and the contractual agreement with Marathon was terminated. The Bank may, as it has done in the past, continue to buy residential loans directly from Marathon.

 

For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Strata Mortgage Center originated $43.5 million in residential real estate loans. In addition, the Bank purchased $13.3 million of residential loans directly from Marathon and purchased $3.4 million in residential loans from another bank. The Bank also sold $9.5 million in residential loans during the most recent quarter, with servicing retained, for a net gain of $226,000. As a result, the Bank’s residential mortgage loans, net of principal payments, increased $22.8 million, or 23.5%, since June 30, 2003. The high level of originations reflects the success of Strata Mortgage Center in attracting new

residential loan customers as well as an increase in refinance and payoff activities in the Bank’s portfolio as a result of the historically low market interest rates for residential mortgage loans. Net deferred loan costs and premiums increased since June 30, 2003 by $156,000, largely due to costs associated with residential loan originations and purchases through Marathon.

 

Commercial lending continues to be an area of growth for the Bank. The Bank originated $39.1 million in commercial, commercial real estate and construction loans for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004, $5.9 million, or 17.9% higher than the same period last year. The net increase in the total commercial loan portfolio was $16.7 million, or 24.8%, since June 30, 2003. In addition to these loan originations, the Bank emphasizes cross selling of commercial checking and money market deposits from new commercial customers. As of March 31, 2004, total commercial deposits totaled $34.7 million and represented 15.1% of total deposits. Home equity and second mortgage loans continue to experience growth and increased $3.8 million, or 24.5%, since June 30, 2003 to $19.1 million at March 31, 2004.

 

Total deposits decreased $9.4 million since June 30, 2003 to $230.5 million at March 31, 2004. The aforementioned decrease in certain NOW deposits totaled $11.2 million since June 30, 2003. Demand deposits decreased less than 1% to $33.4 million while certificates of deposit decreased $1.1 million, or 1.2%. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher money market deposits of $1.9 million, or 6.7% and higher savings deposits of $1.1 million, or 2.4%.

 

Borrowings from the FHLB increased $15.1 million since June 30, 2003 to $50.3 million at March 31, 2004, and provided the additional funding for this year’s loan growth and provided the Bank the opportunity to lock in long-term advances at historically low interest rates. In addition, the Company borrowed $3.0 million in subordinate debt in connection with a trust preferred securities offering. This transaction also increased the Company’s regulatory capital by $3.0 million consistent with bank and bank-holding company regulatory guidelines. The increased capital will be used to support further asset growth at Strata Bank and for general corporate purposes. For a further discussion on the subordinated debenture refer to Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-QSB.

 

Stockholders’ equity increased from $23.5 million, or 7.84% of total assets at June 30, 2003 to $25.3 million, or 8.15% of total assets at March 31, 2004. The increase in stockholders’ equity resulted primarily from the Company’s retained earnings since the beginning of the fiscal year.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the Bank’s provision for loan losses was $353,000 compared with $420,000 for the same period last year. This year’s provision was consistent with the growth in loans and lower level of non-accrual loans. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was .93% at March 31, 2004, compared with .96% at June 30, 2003. This percentage decrease reflects a decrease in the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses, which was based on management’s increased certainty in the loan loss estimation process due to several factors including the continued low level of non-performing loans and net charge-offs. For a further discussion of the allowance refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2003 under “Allowance for Loan Losses”. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2004, recoveries from previously charged-off loans of $53,000 were received and $63,000 in loans were charged-off.

 

While management believes that, based on information currently available, the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio at this time, no assurances can be given that the level of the allowance will be sufficient to cover loan losses or that future adjustments to the allowance will not be necessary if economic and/or other conditions differ substantially from the economic and other conditions considered by management in evaluating the adequacy of the current level of the allowance.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarter and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003

 

General

 

Operating results are primarily dependent on the Bank’s net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on the Bank’s earning assets (short-term investments, loans, and securities) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Operating results are also affected by provisions for loan losses, the level of income from noninterest sources such as fees and sales of securities and other assets, operating expenses and income taxes. Operating results are also significantly affected by general economic conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, as well as government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

 

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $529,000 compared with $423,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $106,000, or 25.1%. Net income for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004 was $1.5 million compared with $1.2 million for the same period last year, an increase of $321,000, or 27.8%.

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2004 net interest income increased $280,000, or 11.5%, noninterest income increased $197,000, or 56.6%, while the provision for loan losses was $94,000 lower compared to the same quarter a year ago. Partially offsetting these increases to income was higher noninterest expense of $442,000, or 22.1%. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, net interest income increased $873,000, or 12.3%, noninterest income increased $357,000, or 35.3%, while the provision for loan losses was lower by $67,000 this year. Partially offsetting these increases to income was an increase in noninterest expense of $865,000, or 14.4%. Earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 were $0.33 per share (basic) and $0.32 per share (diluted) compared with $0.26 per share (basic and diluted) for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 were $0.91 per share (basic) and $0.89 per share (diluted) compared with $0.72 per share (basic) and $0.71 per share (diluted) for the nine months ended March 31, 2003.

 

Interest and Dividend Income

 

Total interest and dividend income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $4.0 million, $197,000 more than the same quarter a year ago. The effect of a reduction in yield on earning assets of 28 basis points to 5.56% was more than offset by the effect of an increase in average earning assets of $26.6 million. Total interest and dividend income for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 was $11.7 million, $72,000 less than the same period a year ago. The effect of a reduction in yield on earning assets of 52 basis points to 5.52% was only partially offset by an increase in average earning assets of $22.5 million. Average net loans for the quarter increased $44.3 million, or 25.3%, while total loan yield decreased 53 basis points to 5.70%. Average net loans for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 increased $42.7 million, or 25.7%, while total loan yield decreased 82 basis points to 5.73%. This year’s lower interest rate environment reduced the index rates used to set interest rates for loan re-pricing and for new loans which resulted in a lower loan yield between periods. Contributing to the amount of new loan volume priced at this year’s lower rates was an increased level of residential loan refinance activity in the Bank’s existing portfolio.

 

Average short-term investments decreased $5.5 million and $5.3 million for the quarter and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and experienced a reduction in yield of 20 basis points and 49 basis points, respectively, to 0.98% and 0.97%, respectively. Yield on the securities portfolio was also lower and declined by 24 basis points to 5.27% this quarter and declined by 39 basis points to 5.13% for the nine month period compared to the same periods last year. Certain investments within the Bank’s securities portfolio that matured, were sold or called, were reinvested in lower yielding investments. The average securities portfolio balance decreased $12.3 million this quarter and $14.9 million for the nine month period compared with the same periods last year, contributing to the lower interest income.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense on deposits decreased $214,000, or 24.1%, from $887,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $673,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was mostly attributable to a 46 basis point reduction in the cost of deposits for the quarter and to an increase of $7.3 million in average lower-cost non-certificate deposit balances when compared to last year while average higher-cost term certificate balances decreased by $4.8 million. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, interest expense on deposits decreased $1.2 million, or 36.9%, from $3.2 million last year to $2.0 million for the nine-month period this year. The decrease was mostly attributable to an 85 basis point reduction in cost of deposits for the nine-month period and to an increase of $16.1 million in average lower-cost non-certificate deposit balances when compared to last year while average higher-cost term certificate balances decreased by $9.6 million.

 

Interest expense on borrowings increased $131,000, or 28.9%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same quarter last year. The average balance of borrowings was $56.3 million during the quarter, an increase of $21.8 million, or 63.0% from the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The cost of average borrowings decreased from 5.26% a year ago to 4.11% this quarter due to this year’s lower rate for new borrowings. Interest expense on borrowings increased $249,000, or 18.1%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period last year. The average balance of borrowings was $48.4 million during the nine-month period an increase of $14.0 million, or 40.9% from nine months ended March 31, 2003. The cost of average borrowings decreased from 5.27% a year ago to 4.40% this year.

The increases in net interest income were due mostly to the combination of three factors: (i) total average earning assets increased $26.6 million and $22.5 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same periods last year; (ii) the change in mix of earning assets to more higher yielding loans; and (iii) the change in mix of liabilities to lower cost core deposits and borrowings. The Bank’s interest rate spread (the difference between yields earned on earning assets and rates paid on deposits and borrowings) increased 9 basis points to 3.51% and increased 18 basis points to 3.50% for the quarter and nine month periods, respectively, compared to last year. The Bank’s reductions in rates offered on new and maturing certificates of deposit and reduced rates on savings and money market products were successful in keeping pace with the decrease in yield on earning assets. The net interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets) increased from 3.76% to 3.81% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and from 3.68% to 3.80% for the nine-month period.

 

While core-based deposit growth will be emphasized, the Bank may have to rely more on higher-cost retail certificates rather than lower-cost core deposits, or rely on borrowings from the FHLB for future funding requirements. An increase in market interest rates and continued competition from other financial institutions together with the aforementioned growth in retail certificates could cause future tightening in the interest rate spread.

 

The interest rate spread and margin for the periods indicated are as follows:

Noninterest Income

 

Total noninterest income increased $197,000, or 56.6% to $545,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and increased $357,000, or 35.3% to $1.4 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same periods last year. The increases were largely the result of a gain on the sale of residential loans of $226,000. The nine-month period also included a net securities gain this year compared with a net securities loss last year. Also higher in both comparisons were financial service fees due to a higher level of sales in the Financial Services Center at Strata Bank and income on bank-owned life insurance increased due to additional policy purchases near the end of last year.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Total noninterest expense increased $442,000, or 22.1% to $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and increased $865,000, or 14.4% to $6.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 compared with the same periods last year. Salary and benefits increased $307,000 and $563,000 for the quarter and nine-month periods, respectively, due to several factors including: (i) the increased loan origination staffing at the Strata Mortgage Center as a result of strategic decision during this year to no longer outsource certain residential loan origination services; (ii) increased staffing in the commercial loan production and technology areas of the Bank; (iii) increased supplemental retirement plan expenses; and (iv) increase in certain benefit costs such as the Employee Stock Ownership Plan where the amount of expense recognized is effected by the rising price of the Company’s stock. In addition, the nine-month period included an $89,000 charge for supplemental retirement plan expense related to the early retirement of a Director of the Company during the first quarter. Supplemental retirement benefits are accrued over the participant’s anticipated service period. Accordingly, curtailment of the service period as a result of early retirement accelerates the expense recognition related to the present value of the estimated post retirement benefits. These supplemental retirement plans, and related bank-owned life

insurance policies, are structured so that the expense for any year is partially offset by the increase in cash surrender values of the related policies and recognized as noninterest income during such year and eventually recovered in full by the Company from the proceeds of the related insurance contracts.

 

Professional fees increased $108,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 due to increased legal fees associated with the annual meeting, proxy filing and other matters, and due to higher fees paid to outsourced professional service providers such as internal audit and credit review. The smaller increases in most other areas of noninterest expense including occupancy, equipment, data processing, advertising and other general and administrative expense for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2004 were consistent with the Company’s growth in operations or contractual arrangements.

 

The operating efficiency ratio (total noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income plus total noninterest income excluding securities gains and losses) for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was 73.8% compared with 72.0% for the same quarter a year ago. The operating efficiency ratio for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 was 73.7% compared with 73.5% for the same period a year ago.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense increased by $23,000 and $111,000 for quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2004 compared with the same periods last year due mostly to this year’s higher level of pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate was 30.7% and 31.5% for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, which was lower than the effective rates of 33.3% and 33.0% for the same periods last year. The effective tax rates are below the statutory combined state and federal income tax rates because the Bank’s two securities corporations take advantage of the lower state tax rate afforded to these types of entities. There are also items of income that are nontaxable. The decreases in effective income tax rates from last year reflect changes in the level and timing of nontaxable income.

 

Asset/Liability Management

 

A principal operating objective of the Bank is to produce stable earnings by achieving a favorable interest rate spread that can be sustained during fluctuations in prevailing interest rates. Since the Bank’s principal interest-earning assets generally have longer terms to maturity than its primary source of funds, i.e., deposit liabilities, increases in general interest rates will generally result in an increase in the Bank’s cost of funds before the yield on its asset portfolio adjusts upward. Financial institutions have generally sought to reduce their exposure to adverse changes in interest rates by attempting to achieve a closer match between the repricing periods of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Such matching, however, is carefully monitored so as not to sacrifice net interest margin performance for the perfect matching of these interest rate sensitive instruments. The Bank has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) made up of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the senior loan officer, and others to assess the asset/liability mix and recommend strategies that will enhance income while managing the Bank’s vulnerability to changes in interest rate. This committee meets regularly to discuss interest rate conditions and potential product lines that would enhance the Bank’s income performance.

 

Certain strategies have been implemented to improve the match between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. These strategies include, but are not limited to: daily monitoring of the Bank’s cash requirements, originating adjustable and fixed rate mortgage loans, both residential and commercial, for the Bank’s own portfolio, selling loans, managing the cost and structure of deposits, short and long-term borrowings and using matched borrowings to fund specific purchases of loan packages and large loan originations. Occasionally, management may choose to deviate from specific matching of maturities of assets and liabilities if an attractive opportunity to enhance yield becomes available.

 

Quarterly, ALCO modeling is performed with the assistance of an outside advisor which projects the Bank’s financial performance over the next twenty four months using loan and deposit projections, projections of changes in interest rates, and anticipated changes in other income and operating expenses to reveal the full impact of the Bank’s operating strategies on financial performance. The results of the ALCO process are reported to the Board at least on a quarterly basis.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Bank’s primary sources of funds consist of deposits, borrowings, repayment and prepayment of loans, sales of loans and securities, maturities and early calls of securities, and funds provided from operations. While scheduled repayments of loans and maturities of securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Bank primarily uses its liquidity resources to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund net deposit outflows, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to pay operating expenses.

From time to time, the Bank utilizes advances from the FHLB primarily in connection with its management of the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities. Total advances outstanding at March 31, 2004 amounted to $50.3 million. The Bank’s ability to borrow from the FHLB is dependent upon the amount and type of collateral the Bank has to secure the loans. Such collateral consists of, but is not limited to, one-to-four family owner-occupied residential property. As of March 31, 2004, the Bank’s total borrowing capacity through the Federal Home Loan Bank was $86.4 million. The Bank has additional capacity to borrow federal funds from other banks and through such instruments as repurchase agreements utilizing federal agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities as collateral.

 

A major portion of the Bank’s liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, U.S. Government and federal agency obligations, mortgage-backed securities, and other debt securities. The level of these assets is dependent upon the Bank’s operating, lending, and financing activities during any given period.

 

At March 31,2004, the Bank had $10.9 million of outstanding commitments to originate loans and unused lines of credit and open commitments available to customers totaling $32.7 million. The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet these commitments. Certificates of deposit, which are scheduled to mature in one year or less, totaled $70.7 million at March 31, 2004. Based upon historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

 

At March 31, 2004, the Company and the Bank continued to exceed all regulatory capital requirements.

 

In February 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Stock Repurchase Plan under which the Company is authorized to acquire up to 4% of the outstanding common stock, or up to approximately 65,925 shares of the issued and outstanding shares of its common stock in the open market or in private transactions. Under the plan, shares may be repurchased from time to time and in such amounts as market conditions warrant, and subject to regulatory considerations. The repurchased shares are expected to be used by the Company for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2004, 8,942 shares of the Company’s common stock had been repurchased under the plan at an average price of $18.14 per share.

 

ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s management conducted an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the last fiscal quarter. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company and its management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that they believe the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. We intend to continue to review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and we may from time to time make changes to the disclosure controls and procedures to enhance their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

 

(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the Company’s evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

TEXT OF AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION

 

The text of Section 6.6 to the Articles of Organization of the corporation is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:

 

6.6. Indemnification.

 

A. Definitions. For purposes of this Section 6.6:

 

(1) “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is serving or has served (i) as a Director of the Corporation, (ii) as an Officer of the Corporation, or (iii) as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation. For purposes of this clause (1), an Officer or Director of the Corporation who is serving or has served as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of a Subsidiary shall be deemed to be serving at the request of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Corporate Status” shall not include the status of a person who is serving or has served as a director, officer, employee or agent of a constituent corporation absorbed in a merger or consolidation transaction with the Corporation with respect to such person’s activities prior to said transaction, unless specifically authorized by the board of directors or the stockholders of the Corporation;

 

(2) “Director” means any person who serves or has served the Corporation as a director on the board of directors of the Corporation;

 

(3) “Disinterested Director” means, with respect to each Proceeding (defined below) in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, a Director of the Corporation who is not and was not a party to such Proceeding;

 

(4) “Expenses” means all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of expert witnesses, private investigators and professional advisors (including, without limitation, accountants and investment bankers), travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, costs of preparation of demonstrative evidence and other courtroom presentation aids and devices, costs incurred in connection with document review, organization, imaging and computerization, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements, costs or expenses of the type customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, settling or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding;

 

(5) “Non-Officer Employee” means any person who serves or has served as an employee or agent of the Corporation, but who is not or was not a Director or Officer;

 

(6) “Officer” means any person who serves or has served the Corporation as an officer appointed by the board of directors of the Corporation;


(7) “Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, inquiry, investigation, administrative hearing or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative; and

 

(8) “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other entity of which the Corporation owns (either directly or through or together with another Subsidiary of the Corporation) either (i) a general partner, managing member or other similar interest or (ii) (a) 50% or more of the voting power of the voting capital equity interests of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other entity, or (b) 50% or more of the outstanding voting capital stock or other voting equity interests of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other entity.

 

B. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Subject to the operation of Section 6.6(F), each Director and Officer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended against any and all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts reasonably paid in settlement that are incurred by such Director or Officer or on such Director’s or Officer’s behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, which such Director or Officer is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in by reason of such Director’s or Officer’s Corporate Status, unless such Director or Officer shall be finally adjudicated in such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interests of the Corporation. The rights of indemnification provided by this Section 6.6(B) shall continue as to a Director or Officer after he or she has ceased to be a Director or Officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall indemnify any Director or Officer seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Director or Officer only if such Proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation, unless such Proceeding was brought to enforce an Officer or Director’s rights to indemnification or, in the case of Directors, advancement of Expenses under these by-laws in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

 

C. Indemnification of Non-Officer Employees. Subject to the operation of Section 6.6(F), each Non-Officer Employee may, in the discretion of the board of directors of the Corporation, be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against any or all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts reasonably paid in settlement that are incurred by such Non-Officer Employee or on such Non-Officer Employee’s behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, which such Non-Officer Employee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in by reason of such Non-Officer Employee’s Corporate Status, unless such Non-Officer Employee shall be finally adjudicated in such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interests of the Corporation. The rights of indemnification provided by this Section 6.6(C) shall exist as to a Non-Officer Employee after he or she has ceased to be a Non-Officer Employee and shall inure to the benefit of his or her

 

2


heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may indemnify any Non-Officer Employee seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Non-Officer Employee only if such Proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation.

 

D. Advancement of Expenses to Directors Prior to Final Disposition.

 

(1) Subject to applicable law, the Corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Director in connection with any Proceeding in which such Director is involved by reason of such Director’s Corporate Status within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a written statement from such Director requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Director and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Such undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Director to make such repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Director seeking advancement of expenses hereunder in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Director only if such Proceeding was (i) authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation, or (ii) brought to enforce Director’s rights to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under these by-laws.

 

(2) If a claim for advancement of Expenses hereunder by a Director meeting the requirements of Section 6.6(D)(1) is not paid in full by the Corporation within 10 days after receipt by the Corporation of documentation of Expenses and the required undertaking, such Director may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and if successful in whole or in part, such Director shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such advancement of Expenses under this Section 6.6 shall not be a defense to the action and shall not create a presumption that such advancement is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director is not entitled to an advancement of expenses shall be on the Corporation.

 

(3) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final disposition of the Proceeding that the Director has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth under applicable law.

 

E. Advancement of Expenses to Officers and Non-Officer Employees Prior to Final Disposition.

 

(1) The Corporation may, at the discretion of the board of directors of the Corporation and on such terms and conditions as the board of directors shall determine in its discretion (which shall be consistent with applicable law), advance any or all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Officer and Non-Officer Employee in connection with any Proceeding in

 

3


which such is involved by reason of the Corporate Status of such Officer or Non-Officer Employee upon the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from such Officer or Non-Officer Employee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Officer and Non-Officer Employee and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Officer or Non-Officer Employee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Such undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Officer or Non-Officer Employee to make such repayment.

 

(2) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Officer or Non-Officer Employee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth under applicable law.

 

F. Procedure for Indemnification. In order to obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Section 6.6, a Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including in such request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent he or she is entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, if applicable. Any indemnification under this Section 6.6 shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of the Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee, unless a final disposition of a Proceeding finds that such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.6(B) or Section 6.6(C), as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there is no final disposition of a Proceeding that such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee did or did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.6(B) or Section 6.6(C), as applicable, then indemnification shall be provided pursuant to this Section 6.6 unless the Corporation reasonably determines within such 60-day period that the Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.6(B) or Section 6.6(C), as applicable. Such determination by the Corporation shall be made in each instance by (1) a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the board of directors, (2) a committee comprised of Disinterested Directors, such committee having been designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (even though less than a quorum), (3) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, or if a majority of Disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders of the Corporation.

 

G. Contractual Nature of Rights.

 

(1) The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.6 shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each Director, Officer and Non-Officer Employee entitled to the benefits hereof at any time while this Section 6.6 is in effect, and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any

 

4


state of facts then or theretofore existing or any Proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.

 

(2) If a claim for indemnification hereunder by a Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of a written claim for indemnification (to the extent such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee is entitled thereto), such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such indemnification under this Section 6.6 shall not be a defense to the action and shall not create a presumption that such indemnification is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee is not entitled to indemnification shall be on the Corporation.

 

(3) In any suit brought by a Director or Officer to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder, it shall be a defense that such Director or Officer has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth under applicable law.

 

H. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and advancement of Expenses set forth in this Section 6.6 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Director, Officer, or Non-Officer Employee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Corporation’s Articles or these by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise.

 

I. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee against any liability of any character asserted against or incurred by the Corporation or any such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee, or arising out of any such person’s Corporate Status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under applicable law or the provisions of this Section 6.6.

 

J. Other Indemnification. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person under this Section 6.6 as a result of such person serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or enterprise.

 

K. Merger or Consolidation. If the Corporation is merged into or consolidated with another corporation and the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, the surviving Corporation shall assume the obligations of the Corporation under this Section 6.6 with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring at or prior to the date of such merger or consolidation.

Section 1. Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of Directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall each year fix, which date shall be within thirteen (13) months subsequent to the later of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Section 2. Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of Directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies on the Board of Directors (hereinafter, the “Whole Board”).

 

Section 3. Notice of Meetings. Written notice of the place, date, and time of all meetings of the stockholders shall be given, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law (meaning, here and hereinafter, as required from time to time by the Massachusetts General Laws or the Articles of Organization of the Corporation).

 

When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, date and time thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty (30) days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, date, and time of the adjourned meeting shall be given in conformity herewith. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

Section 4. Quorum. At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of all of the shares of the stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy (after giving effect to the Article FOURTH of the Corporation’s Articles of Organization), shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, unless or except to the extent that the presence, of a larger number may be required by law. Where a separate vote by a class or classes is required, a majority of the shares of such class or classes present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter.


If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, may adjourn the meeting to another place, date, or time.

 

If a notice of any adjourned special meeting of stockholders is sent to all stockholders entitled to vote thereat, stating that it will be held with those present constituting a quorum, then except as otherwise required by law, those present at such adjourned meeting shall constitute a quorum, and all matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast at such meeting.

 

Section 5. Organization. Such person as the Board of Directors may have designated or, in the absence of such a person, the Chairman of the Board of the Corporation or, in his absence, the Chief Executive Officer or, in his absence, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall call to order any meeting of the stockholders and act as chairman of the meeting. In the absence of the Secretary of the Corporation, the secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the chairman appoints.

 

Section 6. Conduct of Business.

 

(a) The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him in order. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting.

 

(b) At any annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting: (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote with respect thereto and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 6(b). For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the business must relate to a proper subject matter for stockholder action and the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered or mailed to and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than one hundred (100) days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting; (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business; (iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation’s capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder; and (iv) any material interest of such stockholder in such business. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be brought before or conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(b). The Officer of the Corporation or other person presiding over the annual meeting shall, if the

 

2


facts so warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(b) and, if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business so determined to be not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

 

At any special meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors.

 

(c) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws shall be eligible for election as Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders at which Directors are to be elected only: (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of Directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 6(c). Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made by timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered or mailed to and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than one hundred (100) days’ notice or prior disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (i) as to each person whom such stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a Director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected); and (ii) as to the stockholder giving notice of (x) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such stockholder and (y) the class and number of shares of the Corporation’s capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder. At the request of the Board of Directors any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a Director shall furnish to the Secretary of the Corporation that information required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c). The Officer of the Corporation or other person presiding at the meeting shall, if the facts so warrant, determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with such provisions and, if he should so determine, he shall declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

 

Section 7. Proxies and Voting. At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this paragraph may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

All voting, including on the election of Directors but excepting where otherwise required by law or by the governing documents of the Corporation, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by a stockholder entitled to vote or by his proxy, a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. The Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.

 

All elections shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, and except as otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation or by law, all other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes present and cast at a properly called meeting of stockholders.

 

Section 8. Stock List. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in his name, shall be open to the examination of any such stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.

 

The stock list shall also be kept at the place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and shall be open to the examination of any such stockholder who is present. This list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

 

Section 9. Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
