The annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation shall be held at such time and date as may be determined by the Board of Directors and as shall be designated in the notice of said meeting for the purpose of electing a Board of Directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

SECTION 2. -Special Meetings. A special meeting of shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, may be called the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors or any officer of the Corporation instructed by the Board of Directors to call such a meeting, and shall be called by any officer in the Office of the President at the request in writing of a majority of the directors. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.

SECTION 4. -Notice.⁽¹⁾ Notice of all meetings shall be in writing and shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called and to which its business will be limited. The notice for a special meeting shall also indicate that it is being issued by or at the direction of the person or persons calling the meeting. A copy of the notice of any meeting shall be given to each shareholder entitled thereto, personally, by mail, or (if consented to by the shareholder) electronically, not fewer than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, provided, however, that a copy of such notice may be given by third class mail not fewer than twenty-four nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in a United States post office or letter box with postage thereon prepaid, directed to the shareholder at his or her record address or at such other address for the mailing of notices as he or she may have furnished in writing to the Secretary. Notice of a meeting need not be given to any shareholder who attends such meeting, in person or by proxy, without protesting prior to the conclusion of the meeting the lack of notice of such meeting, or who submits a signed waiver of notice, in person or by proxy, before or after the meeting.

SECTION 5. -Fixing Record Date.⁽²⁾ For the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or dissent from any proposal without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to receive pay-ment of any dividend or the allotment of any rights, or for the purpose of any other action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of the business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if no notice is given, the day on which the meeting is held, and the record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the directors relating thereto is adopted. When a determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section 5, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless directors fix a new record date under this Section 5 for the adjourned meeting.

SECTION 6. -Adjourned Meeting. No notice need be given of any adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At any adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. If a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to notice of the meeting.

SECTION 7. -Conduct of Meetings. Meetings of the shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, or if none is in office or in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the President or, in his or her absence, by a Vice President or, if none of the foregoing is in office and present, a chairman to be chosen by the shareholders. The Secretary of the Corporation or, in his absence, an Assistant Secre-tary, shall act as secretary of every meeting, but if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint a secretary of the meeting. The order of business at all meetings of the shareholders shall be determined by the chairman of the meeting.

SECTION 8. -Appointment of Inspectors. The Board of Directors, in advance of any meeting, may appoint one or more inspectors, who need not be share-holders, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If inspectors are not so appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made at the meeting by the chair-man thereof. Each inspector, if any, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meet-ing with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors, if any, shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabu-late all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. On request of the chairman of the meeting or any shareholder entitled to vote thereat, the inspectors, if any, shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by them and execute a certificate of any fact found by them.

SECTION 9. -List of Shareholders. A list of the shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders as of the record date for the determination thereof, certified by the Secretary or by the transfer agent or agents for the Corpora-tion, shall be produced at such meeting upon the request of any shareholder made at or prior to such meeting.

SECTION 10. -Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote thereat shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders for the transaction of any business. When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any shareholders. The shareholders present may adjourn the meeting despite the absence of a quorum.

SECTION 11. -Proxies. Any shareholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy in all matters in which a shareholder is entitled to participate, whether by waiving notice of any meeting, voting or participating at a meeting or expressing consent or dissent without a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the shareholder or his or her attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder execut-ing it, except as otherwise provided by statute.

SECTION 12. -Voting. Except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, each holder of record of shares of the Corporation hav-ing voting rights shall be entitled at each meeting of shareholders to one vote for each share of the Corporation standing in his name on the records of the Corporation on the date fixed as the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting. Except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, any corporate action other than the election of directors to be taken by vote of the shareholders shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders by the holders of shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on such action. Directors shall be elected as pro-vided in Section 2 of Article III. Unless required by statute or determined by the chairman of the meeting to be advisable, no vote need be by ballot, but in case of a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the voting shareholder or his proxy and shall state the number of shares voted.

SECTION 13. -Action without a Meeting. Whenever the shareholders are required or permitted to take any action by vote, such action may be taken without a meeting on written consent, setting forth the action so taken, signed by the holders of all shares entitled to vote thereon.

SECTION 14. Nominations and Business at Meetings.⁽³⁾ At any annual meeting of shareholders, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 14 shall be eligible for election as Directors, and only business which is proposed in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 14 shall be considered for action by shareholders. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Company may be made (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any shareholder of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting who complies with the notice and other procedures set forth in this Section 14. Business to be considered at a meeting of shareholders may be proposed (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any shareholder of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting who complies with the notice and other procedures set forth in this Section 14. Such nominations or business proposals, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Company and such business proposals must, under applicable law, be a proper matter for shareholder action. To be timely, a shareholder's notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days in advance of the date which is the anniversary of the date the Company's proxy statement was released to security holders in connection with the previous year's annual meeting; provided, that, if the Company did not hold such previous year's annual meeting or if the date of the current year's annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year's annual meeting, then such shareholder's notice shall be so delivered or mailed and received not less than 30 days in advance of the anticipated date of mailing (as publicly announced by the Company) of the Company’s proxy statement for the next annual meeting of stockholders.

Such shareholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom such shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including such person's written consent to serving as a Director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of the shareholder making such proposal or such other person on whose behalf such proposal is made; and (c) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (i) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Company's books, and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Company which are owned by such shareholder or person, either beneficially or of record. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the Company and no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of shareholders unless nominated or proposed in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 14.

Except as may otherwise be required by applicable law, nothing herein shall obligate the Company to include in the Company’s proxy statement any nominee for Director nominated by a shareholder or any other shareholder proposal. In addition, nothing herein shall require the Company to submit to the shareholders any proposal which is otherwise excludable or improper under applicable law. The Chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination or proposal was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14 and, if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination or proposal shall be disregarded.

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

SECTION 1. -Powers, Qualifications and Number. The property, affairs and business of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such authority and powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or the Certificate of Incorpora-tion directed or required to be exercised or done by the shareholders. Each director shall be at least eighteen years of age, but need not be a shareholder, a citizen of the United States or a resident of the State of New York. The number of directors consti-tuting the Board of Directors shall be two unless changed as provided below, and in any event shall be at least two, except that where all the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation are owned beneficially and of record by fewer than two shareholders, the number of directors may be less than two but not less than the num-ber of such shareholders. Subject to the foregoing limitation, the number of directors may be increased or decreased at any time and from time to time by a resolution of the Board of Directors adopted by a majority of the directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies, provided that no decrease shall become effec-tive until the next annual meeting of shareholders if its effectiveness would shorten the term of any incumbent director.

SECTION 2. -Election, Term and Vacancies. Except as otherwise pro-vided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of shareholders by a plurality of the votes cast thereat by the holders of shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote in the election; such directors, and directors who are elected in the interim prior to such a meeting to fill newly-created directorships, shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified. In the interim prior to a meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, newly-created direc-torships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause or without cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum exists.

SECTION 3. -Resignation and Removal. Any director may resign at any time by giving written notice of his resignation to the Board of Directors, the Office of the President or the Secretary. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if no time is specified, immediately upon receipt; unless other-wise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any or all of the directors may be removed for cause or without cause by the shareholders at a special meeting therefor and, except as otherwise pro-vided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, may be removed for cause by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 4. -Committees. Whenever there shall be more than three directors, the Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies, designate from among its members three or more directors to constitute committees, which committees, to the extent conferred by the resolu-tions designating such committees and except as otherwise provided by statute, shall have and may exercise the authority of the Board of Directors. Unless the Board of Directors shall provide otherwise, a majority of the members of any such committee may fix the time and place of its meetings and determine its action. The Board of Directors shall have the power at any time to fill vacancies in, change the member-ship of or dissolve any such committee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Board of Directors from appointing committees consisting in whole or in part of persons who are not directors of the Corporation, provided, however, that no such committee shall have or may exercise any authority of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 5. -Compensation of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have authority to fix the compensation of directors for services to the Corporation in any capacity, including a fixed sum and reimbursement of expenses for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and committees thereof. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation, its subsid-iaries or affiliates in any capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum, may adjourn a meeting to another time and place. Notice of any such adjournment shall be given to any directors who were not present and, unless announced at the meeting, to the other directors. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting originally sched-uled.

Any two or more offices may be held by the same person, except the offices of President and Secretary, unless all the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation are owned by one person, in which case such person may hold all or any combination of offices.
