SECTION 4.  Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date.  For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders 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 but not to exceed, in any case, thirty days.  In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than thirty days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than twenty days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken.  If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders.  When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

SECTION 5.  Voting Lists.  The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each.  Such list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting for the purposes thereof.

A majority of those shares present at a duly organized meeting of shareholders shall, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, be necessary for the transaction of any business.

SECTION 7.  Proxies.  At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact.  Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting.  No proxy shall be valid after two months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
