The list of stockholders must also be open to examination at the meeting as required by applicable law. Except as otherwise required by law, the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by Section 2.04 of the Corporation’s By-laws or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
Prior to such amendments, Section 2.04 of the Corporation’s By-laws provided that such list was to be open for ten days prior to the meeting to the examination of any stockholders, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, either at a place within the city where the meeting was to be held, which place was to have been specified in the notice of meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting was to be held, and was to have been produced and kept at the time and place of said meeting during the whole time thereof, and may have been inspected by any stockholder who was present.
The effective date of the amendments is February 16, 2007.
