of another corporation may be voted by an officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws
of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the

administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him, either in
person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares
standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by
proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a
transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a receiver
may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a
receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his
name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court or
other public authority by which such receiver was appointed. A stockholder whose
shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have
been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall
be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.
2.14 PROPOSALS. At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such
business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the
meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (a)
specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors, or (b) otherwise properly brought
before the meeting by a stockholder. For business to be properly brought before
an annual meeting by a stockholder, 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 to or mailed and received at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than ninety days prior
to the annual anniversary date of the mailing of proxy materials by the
Corporation in connection with the immediately preceding annual meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation or, in the case of the annual meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation which is expected to be held on the fourth
Monday of April 1999, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered or received
no later than the close of business on the fourth Monday of January 1999,
notwithstanding a determination by the Corporation to schedule such annual
meeting at a date later than the fourth Monday of April 1999. A stockholder's
notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder
proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the
business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, (b) the name and
address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing
such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are
beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (d) any material interest of the
stockholder in such business. The chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the
facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not
properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this
Article II, Section 2.14, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to
the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall
not be transacted. This provision is not a limitation on any other applicable
laws and regulations.

meeting by the chairman thereof. Each inspector, before entering upon the
discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the

will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the chairman
thereof. An inspector or inspectors shall not accept a ballot, proxy or vote,
nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, after the closing of the polls
(unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware upon application by a
stockholder shall determine otherwise) and may appoint or retain other persons
or entities to assist them in the performance of their duties. Inspectors need

agents to keep such register, and to record transfers of shares therein.
(b) Shares of stock shall be transferred by delivery of the
certificates therefor, accompanied either by an assignment in writing on the
back of the certificate or an assignment separate from the certificate, or by a

by the laws of the State of Delaware.

interests by those entitled thereto; (c) pay in cash the fair value of fractions
of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such shares are
