any purposes, as a record date for the determination of the stockholders
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting, and any adjournment
thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend, or to any such
allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect of any such change,
conversion or exchange of capital stock, or to give such consent, and, in such
case, such stockholders and only such stockholders as shall be stockholders of
record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to such notice of, and to vote at,
such meeting, and any adjournment thereof, or to receive payment of such
dividend, or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, or

consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the
holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes

meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.
The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting
during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder of the
Corporation who is present.
