Stock

Section 1. Certificates. The Corporation may issue some or all of the shares of any or all of the Corporation’s classes or series of stock without certificates if authorized by the Board of Directors. The issuance of shares in uncertificated form shall not affect shares already represented by a certificate until the certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, each stockholder, upon written request to the secretary of the Corporation, shall be entitled to a certificate or certificates which shall represent and certify the number of shares of each class of stock held by him in the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation issues shares of stock represented by certificates, such certificates shall be in such form as prescribed by the Board of Directors and contain the statements and information and be executed in the manner required by the MGCL. In the event that the Corporation issues shares of stock without certificates, the Corporation shall provide to the record holders of such shares, for so long as the same is required by the MGCL, a written statement of the information required by the MGCL to be included on stock certificates. There shall be no differences in the rights and obligations of stockholders based on whether or not their shares are represented by certificates.

Section 2. Transfers. All transfers of stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation, by the holder of the shares, in person or by his or her attorney, in such manner as the Board of Directors or any officer of the Corporation may prescribe and, if such shares are certificated, upon surrender of certificates duly endorsed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of shares of any class of stock will be subject in all respects to the charter of the Corporation and all of the terms and conditions contained therein.

Section 3. Registration. The Board of Directors shall have power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issuance and registration of shares of stock, and certificates representing the same, if any, including the appointment from time to time of transfer agents and registrars. An original or duplicate stock ledger containing the names and addresses of all stockholders and the number of shares of each class held by each stockholder shall be maintained by the transfer agent or agents of the Corporation, if any, at the principal business office of the Corporation or at such other office or agency as the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the President shall prescribe.

Section 4. Record Date. The Board of Directors shall have authority from time to time to fix a date of not less than 10 days and not more than 90 days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders, any dividend payment date, or any date for the allotment of rights, as a record date for the determination of stockholders who are entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting, or entitled to

receive such dividend or rights, as the case may be. Only stockholders of record on such date shall be entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting, or to receive such dividend or rights, as the case may be; provided, however, that unless the Board of Directors shall fix such date, such record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting, or entitled to receive such dividend or rights, as the case may be, shall be the 30th day before the date of such stockholders’ meeting or the date of such dividend payment or allotment of rights.

Section 5. Recognition of Holder. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the MGCL.

Section 6. Replacement Certificates. Any officer of the Corporation may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated; provided, however, if such shares have ceased to be certificated, no new certificate shall be issued unless requested in writing by such stockholder. Unless otherwise determined by an officer of the Corporation, the owner of such lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, shall be required, as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate or certificates, to give the Corporation a bond in such sums as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation.

Section 7. Fractional Stock; Issuance of Units. The Board of Directors may cause the Corporation to (i) issue fractional stock, (ii) eliminate a fractional interest by rounding off to a full share of stock, (iii) arrange for the disposition of a fractional share by the person entitled to it, (iv) pay cash for the fair value of a fractional share of stock as determined as of the time when the person entitled to receive it is determined, or (v) provide for the issuance of scrip, all on such terms and under such conditions as they may determine. Notwithstanding any other provision of the charter or these Bylaws, the Board of Directors may issue units consisting of different securities of the Corporation. Any security issued in a unit shall have the same characteristics as any identical securities issued by the Corporation, except that the Board of Directors may provide that for a specified period securities of the Corporation issued in such unit may be transferred on the books of the Corporation only in such unit.
