certificate, in such form as shall be approved by the board of directors. Such certificates shall be signed by the chairman of the board of directors or the president or a vice president and by the secretary or an assistant secretary or the
treasurer or an assistant treasurer; provided, however, that if such certificates are countersigned by an incorporated transfer agent or registrar the signatures of any of such officers and the seal of the Corporation upon such certificates may be
facsimiled, engraved, stamped or printed. If any officer or officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature shall have been used, printed or stamped on any certificate or certificates for shares, shall cease to be such officer or
officers, because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates shall have been delivered by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates if authenticated by the endorsement thereon of the signature of a transfer
agent or registrar shall nevertheless be as effective in all respects when delivered as though signed by a duly elected, qualified and authorized officer or officers, and as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates,
or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used thereon, had not ceased to be an officer or officers of the Corporation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:8%"><FONT
