NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, the
consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, and the consolidated
statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and September 30, 1995 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
changes in cash flows have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1995
Annual Report to Shareholders. The results of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the full year.
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Under a management and development agreement (the "Management
Agreement") with Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado"), Alexander's incurred
fees of $937,000 and $1,162,000 in the three months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 and $4,405,000 and $2,713,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995. The fees for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, included $1,443,000 related to the substantial
completion of the redevelopment of the Rego Park I property in the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.
The fee pursuant to the Management Agreement is in addition to
the leasing fee the Company pays to Vornado under the terms of its
leasing agreement. Subject to the payment of rents by tenants, Vornado
is due $4,357,000 at September 30, 1996 under such agreement. The lease
which Vornado had previously negotiated with Caldor on behalf of the
Company for a portion of its Rego Park I property was rejected in March
1996 in Caldor's bankruptcy proceedings, resulting in $1,717,000 of
previously recorded leasing fees payable and the corresponding deferred
lease expense being reversed in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
In addition, the Company incurred interest on its loan from
Vornado of $1,889,000 in each of the three-month periods ended September
30, 1996 and 1995, of which $1,045,000 was capitalized this year and
$279,000 was capitalized last year. Interest on the loan was $5,627,000
and $4,087,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, of
which $2,882,000 and $900,000 were capitalized.

3. CONTINGENCIES
Paramus Property
Recently, the Company was notified that the State of New Jersey
had reduced the acreage that it intends to condemn to approximately 9
acres from the 10 acres it had previously sought. The land subject to
the condemnation is located on the periphery of the property and will be
used to lessen traffic congestion. The New Jersey Department of
Transportation ("DOT") amended its offer to purchase the land to
approximately $15,000,000 (previously $15,400,000) based on an appraisal
performed on its behalf for the reduced acreage. The Company is
negotiating with the DOT to attempt to reach agreement on the value and
other terms. In the event that the Company and the DOT do not reach
agreement, a formal process may be initiated by the DOT pursuant to
which, among other things, a group of independent commissioners will be
appointed by a court to adjudicate the disputed matters.
Environmental Matters
The results of a 1993 Phase I environmental study at the Kings
Plaza Shopping Center's ("Center") property show that certain adjacent
properties owned by third parties have experienced petroleum hydrocarbon
contamination. Based on this study and preliminary investigation of the
Center's property and its history, there is potential for contamination
on the property. If contamination is found on the property, the Center
may be required to engage in remediation activities; management is
unable to estimate the financial impact of potential contamination if
any is discovered in the future. If further investigations reveal that
there is contamination on its site, since the Center believes such
contamination would have resulted from activities of third parties, the
Center intends to pursue all available remedies against any of these
third parties.
The Company is aware of the presence of asbestos-containing
materials at several of its properties and believes that it manages such
asbestos in accordance with applicable laws. The Company plans to abate
or remove such asbestos as appropriate.
Caldor Corporation ("Caldor")
In September 1995, Caldor, which leases the Fordham Road and
Flushing Properties from the Company, filed for relief under Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Property rentals from these two
leases represent approximately 39% of the Company's consolidated
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and approximately
56% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the year ended December
31, 1995. Caldor leased these properties "as is", expended the entire
cost of refurbishing these stores and has not affirmed either of these
leases, but continues to pay rent on both of these locations. The loss
of property rental payments under either of these leases could have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company.
Caldor was also a lessee for a portion of the Rego Park I
property. Caldor received Bankruptcy Court approval to reject the lease
effective March 18, 1996. The Company has filed a claim for damages
based on such rejection.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's revenues, which consist of property rentals, tenant
expense reimbursements and equity in income of unconsolidated joint venture
were $5,379,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 1996, compared to $4,121,000
in the prior year's quarter, an increase of $1,258,000. Revenues were
$15,749,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to
$10,620,000 for the prior year's nine months, an increase of $5,129,000.
Property rentals were $4,315,000 in the quarter ended September 30,
1996, compared to $2,571,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of
$1,744,000. Property rentals were $11,768,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $7,614,000 in the prior year's nine months, an
increase of $4,154,000. These increases resulted primarily from the
commencement of rents and paid parking at the Company's Rego Park I property in
March 1996.
The increases in tenant expense reimbursements reflect a corresponding
increase in operating expenses passed through to tenants.
Equity in income of unconsolidated joint venture ("the Kings Plaza
Shopping Center") was $666,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 1996,
compared to $1,270,000 in the prior year's quarter, a decrease of $604,000.
This decrease resulted primarily because billings to tenants for certain
reimbursable expenses in the prior year's quarter included a cumulative
adjustment and therefore represented nine months of expenses. In the current
year these expenses were billed ratably over the nine months. Equity in income
of the Kings Plaza Shopping Center was $2,616,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $2,131,000 in the prior year's nine months, an
increase of $485,000. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in
rent from mall tenants.
Operating expenses were $1,481,000 in the quarter ended September 30,
1996, compared to $1,124,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of
$357,000. Operating expenses were $3,984,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $2,726,000 in the prior year's nine months, an
increase of $1,258,000. These increases resulted from (i) expenses in
connection with the paid parking operations in Rego Park and (ii) real estate
taxes, maintenance and utility expenses, which were primarily passed through to
tenants.
General and administrative expenses were $961,000 in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $825,000 in the prior year's quarter, an
increase of $136,000. Expenses were lower in the prior year's quarter as a
result of a franchise tax credit during that period. General and
administrative expenses were $3,333,000 in the nine months ended September 30,
1996 compared to $3,523,000 in the prior year's nine months, a decrease of
$190,000. This decrease resulted primarily from lower professional fees.
Interest and debt expense for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, did not change significantly from such expense for the
prior year's periods. The increase in interest and debt expense for the
quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 1996 resulting from higher
levels of average debt was offset by an increase in interest capitalized during
development this year.
Other income and interest income, net was $639,000 in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $348,000 in the prior year's quarter, an
increase of $291,000. Other income and interest income, net was $2,294,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $1,132,000 in the prior
year's nine months, an increase of $1,162,000. These increases resulted
primarily from (i) the amortization of deferred gains in connection with the
Company's postretirement healthcare benefits and workmen's compensation
insurance refunds aggregating $416,000 and $946,000 in the three and nine
Page 8 of 43
<PAGE> 9
ALEXANDER'S, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
months ended September 30, 1996 and (ii) a reimbursement of expenses of
$658,000 received in the second quarter of this year from the Company's partner
in the unconsolidated joint venture, partially offset by (iii) a decrease in
interest income of $232,000 and $521,000 as a result of lower average cash
invested this year than in the prior year.
As a result of the Company's election to be taxed as a REIT for the
year ended December 31, 1995, the deferred tax balance of $1,406,000 at
December 31, 1994 was reversed, resulting in an income tax benefit in the
quarter ended March 1995.
Discontinued Operations
The Company recorded income from discontinued operations of $11,602,000
in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 comprised of (i) $9,602,000 from the
settlement of a tax certiorari proceeding against the County of Nassau for
overpayment of taxes on its former Valley Stream Store property and (ii)
$2,000,000 from the reduction of "Other liabilities of discontinued operations"
to amounts estimated to be needed to resolve these liabilities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996
Cash provided by operating activities of $10,437,000 was comprised of
(i) net cash provided by discontinued operations of $8,683,000 (proceeds from
settlement of tax certiorari proceedings, net of payment of allowed general
unsecured claims) and (ii) $2,194,000 from results of operations (net loss from
continuing operations of $1,039,000 offset by non-cash items of $3,233,000),
offset by (iii) a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $440,000.
Net cash used in investing activities of $17,655,000 was comprised of
capital expenditures of $28,183,000, offset by the release of cash restricted
for operating liabilities of $10,528,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $9,716,000 was comprised of
proceeds from the issuance of debt of $10,527,000, offset by repayments of debt
of $811,000.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995
Cash used in operating activities of $34,447,000 was comprised of (i) a
net loss of $6,630,000, (ii) the payment of liabilities of discontinued
operations of $28,425,000 and (iii) non-cash items of $638,000, offset by (iv)
a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $1,246,000.
Net cash used in investing activities of $49,262,000 was comprised of
(i) capital expenditures of $28,480,000, (ii) cash restricted for construction
financing of $6,098,000 and (iii) cash restricted for operating liabilities of
$14,684,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $93,106,000 was comprised
of proceeds from the issuance of debt of $132,872,000 (net of deferred debt
expense), offset by repayments of debt of $39,766,000.
In connection with the redevelopment of the existing building and the
construction of a multi-level parking structure on its Rego Park I property,
the Company has expended approximately $36,500,000 and expects to expend up to
an additional $3,000,000 to complete the project. At September 30, 1996, there
was $1,700,000 available under a $60,000,000 construction loan to fund these
expenditures with the balance to be funded from existing cash. The Company
estimates that its capital expenditure requirements for other redevelopment
projects will include: (i) the redevelopment of the Paramus property at a cost
of
Page 9 of 43
<PAGE> 10
ALEXANDER'S, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
approximately $50,000,000 to $60,000,000 and (ii) the demising of the Kings
Plaza Store which may have an improvement cost between $5,000,000 and
$10,000,000. Further, the Company is evaluating redevelopment plans for the
Lexington Avenue site, which may involve razing the existing building and
developing a large multi-use building requiring capital in excess of
$300,000,000 to be expended. While the Company anticipates that financing will
be available for these redevelopment projects, there can be no assurance that
such financing will be obtained or if obtained, that such financings will be on
terms that are acceptable to the Company. In addition, it is uncertain as to
when these projects will commence.
On September 18, 1995, Caldor, which leases the Fordham Road and
Flushing Properties from the Company, filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code. Caldor accounted for approximately 39% of the
Company's consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and approximately 56% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the year ended
December 31, 1995. Caldor leased these properties "as is", expended the entire
cost of refurbishing these stores and continues to pay rent on both of these
locations. The loss of property rental payments under either of these leases
could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company.
Caldor was also a lessee for a portion of the Rego Park I property.
Caldor received Bankruptcy Court approval to reject the lease effective March
18, 1996. The Company has filed a claim for damages based on such rejection.
Alexander's current operating properties (five of its nine properties)
do not generate sufficient cash flow to pay all of its expenses. The Company's
four non-operating properties (Lexington Avenue, Paramus, the Kings Plaza Store
and Rego Park II) are in various stages of redevelopment. As rents commence
from a portion of the redevelopment properties, the Company expects that cash
flow will become positive.
The Company estimates that the fair market values of its assets are
substantially in excess of their historical cost and that there is additional
borrowing capacity. Alexander's continues to evaluate its needs for capital
which may be raised through (a) property specific or corporate borrowing, (b)
the sale of securities and (c) asset sales.
In December 1995, the Company completed a tax certiorari proceeding with
the City of New York regarding the Kings Plaza Shopping Center property. As a
result of this settlement, $6,000,000 of the $8,000,000 held in escrow for
unpaid real estate taxes was released during the nine months ended September
30, 1996 and the balance is expected to be released in the near future.
In addition, the Company may receive proceeds from condemnation
proceedings of a portion of its Paramus property -- see Note 3 - Contingencies
- - "Paramus Property".
Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes that these cash
sources will be adequate to fund cash requirements until its operations
generate adequate cash flow.

to each stockholder entitled to vote at such voting meeting not less than ten
or more than fifty days before the meeting, except as otherwise provided by
statute. If mailed, such notice shall be directed to a stockholder at his
address as it shall appear on the stock books of the Corporation, unless he
shall have filed with the Secretary a written request that notices intended for
him be mailed to some other address, in which case it shall be mailed to the
address designated in such request.
Section 1.4 Quorum. The presence at any meeting, in person or by
proxy, of the holders of record of a majority of the shares then issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote shall be necessary and sufficient to
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except where provided
otherwise by statute.
Section 1.5 Adjournments. In the absence of a quorum, a majority in
interest of the stockholders entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy,
or, if no stockholder entitled to vote is present in person or by proxy, any

Section 1.8 Judges of Election. The Board of Directors may appoint
judges of election to serve at any election of directors and at balloting on
any other matter that may properly come before a meeting of stockholders. If
no such appointment shall be made, or if any of the judges so appointed shall
fail to attend, or refuse to or be unable to serve, then such appointment may
be made by the presiding officer at the meeting.
Section 1.9 Written Consent in Lieu of Meeting. Whenever under the
laws of the State of Delaware action required to be approved or consented to by
stockholders may be so proved or consented to by unanimous or other written
consent or approval without a meeting then such consent or approval shall be as
effective as if made by the stockholders at a meeting.
Section 1.10 Advance Notice of Business to Be Transacted at Annual
Meetings. To be properly brought before the annual meeting of the
stockholders, business must be either (a) specified in the notice of meeting
(or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board (or any
duly authorized committee thereof), (b) otherwise
Page 16 of 43
<PAGE> 4
4
properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board (or any
duly authorized committee thereof) or (c) otherwise properly brought before the
meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation (i) who is a stockholder of
record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section
1.10 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
vote at such meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth
in this Section 1.10. In addition to any other applicable requirements,
including but not limited to the requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"), for business to be properly brought before an
annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice
thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation.
To be timely, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation, not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the
anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of the
stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is
called for a date that is not within 30 days before or 60 days after such
anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so
received not earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and not
later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 60th day prior to such
annual meeting or (ii) the tenth day following the day on which (A) such notice
of the date of the annual meeting is mailed or (B) public disclosure of the
date of the annual meeting is made, whichever first occurs. For the
Page 17 of 43
<PAGE> 5
5
purposes of these By-Laws, "public disclosure" shall mean disclosure in a press
release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable
news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act.
To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary
must set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the
annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought
before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting,
(b) the name and record address of such stockholder, and the beneficial owner,
if any, on whose behalf such notice is made (c) the class or series and number
of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or
of record by such stockholder, and the beneficial owner, if any, together with
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Secretary of such beneficial ownership,
(d) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such
stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in
connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and any
material interest of such stockholder or the beneficial owner in such business
and (e) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or
by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.
Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no
business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of the stockholders except
business brought before such meeting in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 1.10; provided, however, that, once business has been
properly brought before such meeting in accordance with such
Page 18 of 43
<PAGE> 6
6
procedures, nothing in this Section 1.10 shall be deemed to preclude discussion
by any stockholder of any such business. If the presiding officer of such
meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the meeting in
accordance with the foregoing procedures, the presiding officer shall declare
to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting
and such business shall not be transacted.
ARTICLE II
Board of Directors
Section 2.1 Number. The number of directors which shall constitute
the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of
the Board of Directors or stockholders (any such resolution of either the Board
of Directors or stockholders being subject to any later resolution of either of
them) but in no event shall such number be less than three or more than the
maximum number permitted by the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation.
Section 2.2 Classification of Directors; Election and Term of
Office. Directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders,
as provided in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation and herein. Commencing with the election of directors taking place
at the 1975 meeting of the stockholders, the Board of Directors shall be
divided into three classes, designated Classes, I, II and III, respectively.
The Board of Directors shall by resolution fix such classes as nearly equal in
number as possible, and any increase or decrease in the number of directors
from
Page 19 of 43
<PAGE> 7
7
time to time shall be made in such a way as to preserve such equality as nearly
as possible; provided, however, that with respect to the class of directors
nominated for election for a term expiring in 1984, such class shall consist of
only four persons. The term of office of one of the classes of directors shall
expire each year. At the annual meeting of the stockholders held in 1975,
Class I directors shall be elected with terms expiring at the 1976 annual
meeting, Class II directors shall be elected with the terms expiring at the
1977 annual meeting and Class III directors shall be elected with terms
expiring at the 1978 annual meeting. Upon expiration of the term of any class
of directors, their successors shall be elected to hold office until the third
succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. Each director (whether elected at
an annual meeting or to fill a vacancy or otherwise) shall continue in office
until his successor shall have been elected or until his earlier death,
resignation or removal in the manner hereinafter provided.
Section 2.3 Nomination of Directors and Advance Notice Thereof.
Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures
shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation, except as may
be otherwise provided in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
with respect to the right of holders of preferred stock or any other class of
capital stock of the Corporation to nominate and elect a specified number of
directors in certain circumstances. Nominations of persons for election to the
Board may be made at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special
meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, (a)
by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof)
or (b) by any stockholder
Page 20 of 43
<PAGE> 8

of the Corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving
of the notice provided for in this Section 2.3 and on the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and (ii) who
complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.3. In addition
to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a
stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper
written form to the Secretary of the Corporation.
To be timely, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation (a) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than 60 days nor
more than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding
annual meeting of the stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that
the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or 60
days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be
timely must be so received not earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual
meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 60th
day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the tenth day following the day on
which (A) such notice of the date of the annual meeting is mailed or (B) such
public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is made, whichever first
occurs, or (b) in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called for the
purpose of electing directors, not earlier than the 90th day prior to such
special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i)
the 60th day prior to such special meeting or (ii) the tenth day following the
day on which (A) notice of the date of the special meeting is mailed or (B)
public disclosure of the date of the special meeting is made, whichever first
occurs.
Page 21 of 43
<PAGE> 9

To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary
must set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate
for election as a director, (i) the name, age, business address and residence
address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the
person, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the
Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by the person and (iv)
any other information relating to the person that would be required to be
disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in
connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to
Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice, (i) the name and
record address of such stockholder, and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf such notice is made (ii) the class or series and number of shares of
capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by
such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, together with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Secretary of such beneficial ownership, (iii) a
description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and
each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names)
pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder, (iv) a
representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at
the meeting to nominate the person(s) named in its notice and (v) any other
information relating to such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed
in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with
solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
Page 22 of 43
<PAGE> 10
10
promulgated thereunder. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent
of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director
if elected. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such
other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine
the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the
Corporation.
No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the
Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in
this Section 2.3. If the presiding officer of the meeting determines that a
nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the
presiding officer of the meeting shall declare to the meeting that the
nomination was defective and such defective nomination shall be disregarded.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.3 to the contrary, in the
event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is
increased and there is no public disclosure naming all of the nominees for
director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the
Corporation at least 70 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding
year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice required by this Section 2.3
shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new
positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the secretary
at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close
of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public disclosure
is first made by the Corporation.
Section 2.4 Vacancies and Additional Directorships. If any vacancy
shall occur among the directors by reason of death, resignation or removal, or
as the result of the
Page 23 of 43
<PAGE> 11
11
increase in the number of directorships, the directors then in office shall
continue to act and may fill any such vacancy by a vote of the directors then
in office, though less than a quorum. Any director so chosen shall hold office
until the next election of the class of directors for which such director shall
have been chosen and until his successor shall have been elected or until his
earlier death, resignation or removal in the manner hereinafter provided. If
the whole Board shall resign, said Board, prior to their resignations, may
elect their successors, who will take office upon such resignations.
Section 2.5 Meetings. A meeting of the Board of Directors shall be
held for organization, for the election of officers and for the transaction of
such other business as may properly come before the meeting, within thirty days
after each annual election of directors. The Board of Directors by resolution
may provide for the holding of regular meetings and may fix the times and
places at which such meetings shall be held. Notice of regular meetings shall
not be required to be given, provided that whenever the time or place or place
or regular meetings shall be fixed or changed, notice of such action shall be
mailed promptly to each director who shall not have been present at the meeting
at which such action was taken, addressed to him at his residence or usual
place of business. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by
the Chairman of the Board, any Vice Chairman of the Board, or any three
directors. Except as otherwise required by statute, notice of each special
meeting shall be mailed to each director addressed to him at his residence or
usual place of business, or shall be sent to him at such place by telegram,
radio or cable, or telephoned or delivered to him personally, not later than
two days before the day on which the meeting is
Page 24 of 43
<PAGE> 12
12
to be held. Such notice shall state the time and place of such meeting but,
unless otherwise required by statute, the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation or these By-Laws, need not state the purposes
thereof. Notice of any meeting need not be given to any director who shall
attend such meeting in person or who shall waive notice thereof, before or
after such meeting, in writing or by telegram, radio or cable. Whenever the
laws of the State of Delaware authorize or permit directors to act other than
at a meeting, including, but not limited to, acting through unanimous or other
written consents, then such action shall be as effective as if taken by the
directors at a meeting.
Section 2.6 Quorum. A majority of the total number of members of
the Board of Directors as constituted from time to time shall be necessary and
sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the
absence of a quorum, a majority of those present at the time and place of any
meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be
present and the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice or
waiver. A majority of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is
present may decide any question brought before such meeting, except as
otherwise provided by law, the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation or by these By-Laws.
Section 2.7 Resignation of Directors. Any director may resign at
any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the Board of
Directors, the Chairman of the Board or any Vice Chairman of the Board. Any
such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if no time
be specified, upon receipt thereof by the Board of Directors
Page 25 of 43
<PAGE> 13
13
or one of the above named officers; and, unless specified therein, the
acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
Section 2.8 Removal of Directors. At any special meeting of the
stockholders, duly called as provided in these By-Laws, any director or
directors may, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all the
shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors,
be removed from office, either with or without cause. At such meeting a
successor or successors may be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, or if
any such vacancy is not so filled, it may be filled by the directors as
provided in Section 2.4.
Section 2.9 Compensation of Directors. Directors shall receive such
reasonable compensation for their services as such, whether in the form of
salary or a fixed fee for attendance at meetings, with expenses, if any, as the
Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Nothing herein contained
shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any
other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
ARTICLE III
Committees of the Board
Section 3.1 Designation, Power, Alternate Members and Term of
Office. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the
whole Board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of two
or more of the directors of the Corporation. Any such committee, to the extent
provided in such resolution, shall
Page 26 of 43
<PAGE> 14
14
have and may exercise the power of the Board of Directors in the management of
the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the
Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. The Board may
designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who, in
the order specified by the Board, may replace any absent or disqualified member
at any meeting of the committee. If at a meeting of any committee one or more
of the members thereof should be absent or disqualified, and if either the
Board of Directors has not so designated any alternate member or members, or
the number of absent or disqualified members exceeds the number of alternate
members who are present at such meeting, then the member or members of such
committee (including alternates) present at any meeting and not disqualified
from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously
appoint another director to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent
or disqualified member. The term of office of the members of each committee
shall be as fixed from time to time by the Board, subject to these By-Laws;
provided, however, that any committee member who ceases to be a member of the
Board shall ipso facto cease to be a committee member. Each committee shall
appoint a secretary, who may be the Secretary of the Corporation or any
Assistant Secretary thereof.
Section 3.2 Meetings, Notices and Records. Each committee may
provide for the holding of regular meetings, with or without notice, and may
fix the time and place at which such meetings shall be held. Special meetings
of each committee shall be held upon call by or at the direction of its
chairman or, if there be no chairman, by or at the direction of any two of its
members, at the time and place specified in the respective notices or
Page 27 of 43
<PAGE> 15
15
waivers of notice thereof. Notice of each special meeting of a committee shall
be mailed to each member of such committee, addressed to him at his residence
or usual place of business, at least two days before the day on which the
meeting is to be held, or shall be sent by telegram, radio or cable, addressed
to him at such place, or telephoned or delivered to him personally, not later
than the day before the day on which the meeting is to be held. Notice of any
meeting of a committee need not be given to any member thereof who shall attend
the meeting in person or who shall waive notice thereof by telegram, radio,
cable or other writing. Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given.
Each committee shall keep a record of its proceedings, and report the same to
the Board of Directors when required.
Section 3.3 Quorum and Manner of Acting. At each meeting of any
committee the presence of a majority but not less than two of its members then
in office shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the members present at
any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee; in
the absence of a quorum, a majority of the members present at the time and
place of any meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time and until a
quorum shall be present. Subject to the foregoing and other provisions of
these By-Laws and except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors,
each committee may make rules for the conduct of its business. Any
determination made in writing and signed by all the members of such committee
shall be as effective as if made by such committee at a meeting.
Page 28 of 43
<PAGE> 16
16
Section 3.4 Resignations. Any member of a committee may resign at
any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the Board of
Directors, the Chairman of the Board or any Vice Chairman of the Board. Unless
otherwise specified in such notice, such resignation shall take effect upon
receipt thereof by the Board or any such officer.
Section 3.5 Removal. Any member of any committee may be removed at
any time by the Board of Directors with or without cause.
Section 3.6 Vacancies. If any vacancy shall occur in any committee
by reason of death, resignation, disqualification, removal or otherwise, the
remaining members of such committee, though less than a quorum, shall continue
to act until such vacancy is filled by the Board of Directors.
Section 3.7 Compensation. Committee member shall receive such
reasonable compensation for their services as such, whether in the form of
salary or a fixed fee for attendance at meetings, with expenses, if any, as the
Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Nothing herein contained
shall be construed to preclude any committee member from serving the
Corporation in any other capacity when receiving compensation therefor.
Section 3.8 Committees to Advise the Board of Directors. The Board
of Directors may create, in addition to Committees of the Board as hereinbefore
provided in this Article, one or more committees the sole function and
responsibility of which shall be to make recommendations to the Board of
Directors with respect to the management and operations of the Corporation.
Such committees may be given such titles as may be deemed
Page 29 of 43
<PAGE> 17
17
appropriate by the Board of Directors. Each such committee shall consist of
two or more persons appointed by the Board of Directors, which persons shall be
directors or officers of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate
from among the members of each such committee a Chairman, a Vice Chairman and a
Secretary. Such committees shall continue in existence at the pleasure of the
Board of Directors, and the members of each such committee shall continue to
serve as such at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.
