SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING

2.1.          Annual Meeting - An annual meeting of shareholders shall be held within five (5) months after the close of the fiscal year of the Corporation on such date and at the time and place (either within or without the State of New York) as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors.  At the annual meeting the shareholders shall elect Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

2.2.          Special Meeting - A special meeting of shareholders may be called at any time by the President and shall be called by the President at the request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors then in office or at the request in writing filed with the Secretary by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting.  Any such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.  Business transacted at any special meeting of shareholders shall be confined to the purposes set forth in the notice thereof.

2.3.          Notice of Meetings - Notice of the time, place and purpose of every meeting of shareholders (and, if other than an annual meeting, the person or persons at whose discretion the meeting is being called), shall be given by the President, a Vice-President or by the Secretary to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting, not less than ten nor more than sixty days prior to the date set for the meeting. Notice of any meeting of shareholders may be written or electronic.  If mailed, such notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, with first class postage prepaid, directed to the shareholder at his address appearing on the stock book of
-1-


the Corporation or at such other address supplied by him in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation for the purpose of receiving notice.  If transmitted electronically, such notice is given when directed to the shareholder’s electronic mail address as supplied by the shareholder to the Secretary of the Corporation or as otherwise directed pursuant to the shareholder’s authorization or instructions.

A waiver of notice setting forth the purposes of the meeting for which notice is waived, whether before or after the time of the meeting stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice.  Waiver of notice may be written or electronic.  If written, the notice must be signed by the shareholder or the shareholder’s authorized Officer, Director, employee or agent by signing such waiver or causing his or her signature to be affixed to such waiver by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, facsimile signature.  If electronic, the transmission of the waiver must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can reasonably be determined that the transmission was authorized by the shareholder.  The attendance by a shareholder at a meeting either in person or by proxy without protesting the lack of notice thereof shall constitute a waiver of notice of such shareholder.

All notice given with respect to an original meeting shall extend to any and all adjournments thereof and such business as might have been transacted at the original meeting may be transacted at any adjournment thereof; no notice of any adjourned meeting need be given if an announcement of the time and place of the adjourned meeting is made at the original meeting.

2.4.          Quorum - The holders of a majority of the votes of shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall be requisite and shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of shareholders except as otherwise provided by statute or the Certificate of Incorporation.  If, however, a quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of shareholders, the shareholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented.  At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.  When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, such quorum is not deemed broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any shareholders.

2.5.          Voting - Every shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote and held by him of record on the date fixed as the record date for said meeting and may so vote in person or by proxy.  Any corporate action, other than the election of Directors, shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast in favor of or against such action by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon except as may otherwise be provided by statute or the Certificate of Incorporation.  An abstention shall not count as a vote cast.

2.6.          Proxies - Every proxy shall be valid only if filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or with the Secretary of the meeting prior to the commencement of voting on the matter in regard to which said proxy is to be voted.  No proxy shall be valid after the expiration
-2-


of eleven months from the date of its execution unless otherwise expressly provided in the proxy.  Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the person executing it except as otherwise provided by Section 609 of the Business Corporation Law.  Unless the proxy by its terms provides for a specific revocation date and except as otherwise provided by statute, revocation of a proxy shall not be effective unless and until such revocation is executed in writing by the shareholder who executed such proxy and the revocation is filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or with the Secretary of the Meeting prior to the voting of the proxy.

A shareholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for him as proxy.  Execution may be accomplished by the shareholder or its authorized Officer, Director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.  A shareholder may authorize another person or persons to act for the shareholder as proxy by electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to an agent duly authorized by the proxyholder to receive such transmission.  Any such electronic transmission must set forth or be submitted with sufficient information from which it can be reasonably determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the shareholder.  The information relied upon by the inspectors or other persons making the determination shall be specified.

Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the original document.

2.7.          Shareholders’ List - A list of shareholders as of the record date, certified by the Secretary of the Corporation or by a transfer agent appointed by the Board of Directors shall be prepared for every meeting of shareholders and shall be produced by the Secretary or some other Officer of the Corporation thereat.

2.8.          Inspectors at Meetings - In advance of any shareholders’ meeting, the Board of Directors may appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting or at any adjournment thereof and if not so appointed or if the persons so appointed are unable to act, the person presiding at any such meeting may appoint one or more inspectors.  Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties as set forth in Section 611 of the Business Corporation Law, shall take and sign an oath or affirmation faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.

2.9.          Conduct of Meeting - All meetings of shareholders shall be presided over by the President, or if he is not present, by a Vice-President, or if neither the President nor any Vice-President is present, by a chairman thereby chosen by the shareholders at the meeting.  The Secretary of the Corporation, or in his absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of every meeting but if neither the Secretary nor the Assistant Secretary is present, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint any person present to act as secretary of the meeting.

2.10.          Action Without Meeting - Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Shareholders thereof may be taken without a meeting if all Shareholders entitled to vote thereon

consent in writing to the adoption of a resolution authorizing the action except as otherwise permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation.

No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this paragraph to the Corporation, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation by delivery to, its registered office in this state, its principal place of business, or an Officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Any one or more members of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of said Board or of any such committee by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time, and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
