Such time of meeting shall not be changed within sixty days next before the day on which the election is to be held. A notice of any such change shall be given to each stockholder twenty days before the election is to be held, in person or by letter mailed to his last known post office address. (D.C.L. Section 222.)1

Section 1.02. Special Meetings: Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the President or, in the President’s absence or disability, by any Vice-President, or by the Board of Directors, and shall be immediately called by the President, or, in his absence or disability, by a Vice-President, or by the Secretary, upon the written request of persons holding of record in the aggregate one-fourth or more of the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation at the time entitled to vote for the election of directors, such written request to state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and to be delivered to the President, such Vice-President or the Secretary. In case of failure to call such meeting within twenty days after such request, such stockholder or stockholders may call the same.

 

1  Citations of the Delaware Corporation Law (Title 8 of the Delaware Code, as amended and in effect as of December 28, 1960) are inserted for reference only, and do not constitute a part of the By-Laws.

 


Section 1.03. Place of Meeting: All meetings of the stockholders for the election of directors shall be held at the office of the Corporation at 300 Park Avenue in the Borough of Manhattan, City, County and State of New York. A different place of meeting within the City of New York may be fixed by the Board of Directors at any time provided that at least ten days’ notice of the place so fixed shall be given to each stockholder in person or by letter mailed to his last known post office address. Such place of meeting shall not be changed to a place outside of the City of New York within sixty days next before the day on which the election is to be held and a notice of such change shall be given to each stockholder, twenty days before the election is held, in person or by letter mailed to him at his last known post office address. All other meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such places, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be specified in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof, except as at the time otherwise required by statute with respect to any meeting called to consider the proposed dissolution of the Corporation. (D.C.L. Sections 211, 222, 275.)

Section 1.04. Notice of Meetings: Except as at the time otherwise required by Sections 1.01 and 1.03 hereof, or by statute in connection with a proposed consolidation, merger or dissolution of the Corporation or a proposed reduction of its capital, or otherwise, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary shall cause notice of the time, place and purpose or purposes of each meeting of the stockholders (whether annual or special) to be mailed, at least twenty (but not more than fifty) days prior to the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at his post office address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation at the time of such mailing. Notice of any meeting of stockholders need not be given to any stockholder who shall sign a waiver of such notice in writing, whether before or after the time of such meeting, or to any stockholder who shall attend such meeting in person or by proxy, or to any stockholder with whom communication is at the time unlawful by virtue of any law of the State of Delaware or of the United States of America at the time in force or any rule, regulation, proclamation or executive order issued under any such law. Notice of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation need not be given, unless at the time required by statute in connection with a meeting called to consider a proposed dissolution of the Corporation. (D.C.L. Sections 212, 229, 230, 244(a), (e), 251(c), 275(a), 312(1).)

Section 1.05. Quorum: Except as at the time otherwise required by statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws, the presence at any meeting of the stockholders, in person or by proxy, of the holders of record of shares of stock (of any class) entitled to vote at the meeting aggregating at least a majority of the total number of shares of stock of all classes then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and present thereat in person or by proxy, or if no stockholder entitled to vote is present thereat in person or by proxy, any officer present thereat entitled to preside or act as Secretary of such meeting, may adjourn the meeting sine die or from time to time for periods not exceeding twenty days in any one case. At any such adjourned meetings at which a quorum may be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting originally called. (D.C.L. Sections 216, 224.)

Section 1.06. Voting: Except as at the time otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, at each meeting of the stockholders every holder of record of stock entitled to vote at such meeting shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation at the time of such meeting, except as hereinafter in this Section 1.06 provided with respect to election of directors and except where, pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.05 hereof, a date shall have been fixed as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote. Except where, pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.05 hereof, the transfer books of the Corporation shall have been closed or a date shall have been fixed as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote, no share of stock shall be voted on at any election for directors which shall have been transferred on the books of the Corporation within twenty days next preceding such election of directors. At each meeting of stockholders each stockholder entitled to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy, provided, however, that the right to vote by proxy shall exist only in case the instrument authorizing such proxy to act shall have

 

3


been executed in writing by the stockholder himself or by his attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing and provided, also, that no proxy shall be voted on after three years from its date unless said proxy provides for a longer period. Said instrument authorizing a proxy to act shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation or to such other officer or person who may, in the absence of the Secretary, be acting as Secretary of the meeting. Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the shares so held, and persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation he shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent said stock and vote thereon. Shares belonging to the Corporation shall not be voted directly or indirectly. At all meetings of the stockholders, except as at the time otherwise expressly required by statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by Sections 2.03 or 2.09 hereof, all matters shall be decided by a vote of the majority of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote thereat and present thereat in person or by proxy. The vote upon any question before a meeting of the stockholders shall be by ballot whenever requested by any person entitled to vote, but, unless such a request is made, voting may be conducted in any way approved by the meeting. (D.C.L. Sections 102(b)(4), 151(a), (f), 160, 212, 213, 217, 218(a), 220.)

Section 1.07. List of Stockholders: It shall be the duty of the Secretary or other officer of the Corporation who shall have charge of the stock ledger to prepare and make, at least ten days before every election of directors, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said election, arranged in alphabetical order. Such list shall be open at the place where said election is to be held for said ten days, to the examination of any stockholder, and shall be produced and kept at the time and place of election during the whole time thereof and be subject to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present. The original or duplicate stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are stockholders entitled to examine such list or the books of the Corporation or to vote in person or by proxy at such election. (D.C.L. Sections 219, 220.)

Quorum: At all meetings of the Board of Directors the presence of a majority of the total authorized number of Directors at the time fixed in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of such total authorized number of Directors shall be required for any action by the Board of Directors.

Manner of Acting: The Directors shall act only as a Board and the individual Directors shall have no power as such, except that any action (including ratification of prior acts of officers) required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, if prior to such action a written consent thereto is signed by all members of the Board and such written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board. (D.C.L. Section 141(a), (g).)

Section 2.08. Resignations: Any Director may resign at any time by delivering a written resignation to either the President, a Vice-President, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Unless otherwise specified therein, such resignation shall take effect upon delivery. (D.C.L. Section 222.)

Removal of Directors: Any Director may be removed at any time upon affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of such Director, given at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders called for the purpose for any cause deemed sufficient by such meeting. Any vacancy in the Board of Directors caused by any such removal may be filled at such meeting by the stockholders entitled to vote for the election of the Director so removed; if such stockholders do not fill such vacancy at such meeting, such vacancy may be filled in the manner provided in Section 2.10 hereof. The provisions of this Section 2.09 may be amended, altered or repealed only by the stockholders in the manner specified in clause (a) of Section 8.01 hereof. (D.C.L. Section 223.)

(D.C.L. Section 223.)

Section 2.11.

Section 3.04. Quorum and Manner of Acting: At all meetings of the Executive Committee the presence of members constituting a majority of the total authorized membership of the Executive Committee, but in no event less than two, shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of the majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such Committee. The members of the Executive Committee shall act only as a Committee and the individual members thereof

 

9


shall have no power as such, except that any action (including ratification of prior acts of officers) required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Committee may be taken without a meeting, if prior to such action a written consent thereto is signed by all members of the Committee and such written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Committee.

(D.C.L. Section 141(c).)

Section 3.08. Other Committees: The Board of Directors, by resolution or resolutions passed by a majority of the total authorized number of Directors, may designate one or more other Committees, each such Committee to consist of two or more of the Directors, which to the extent provided in said resolution or resolutions shall have and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may have power to authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it.
