shall cause notice to be promptly given to the shareholders entitled to vote,
in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of these by-laws, that
a
meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling
the

construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of
shareholders called by action of the board of directors may be
held.
The
first
paragraph of Section 2.5 is amended as follows:
Notice
of any
meeting of shareholders shall be given either personally or by first-class
mail
or telegraphic, electronic transmission, or other written communication, charges
prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the address of that shareholder
appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the shareholder to the
corporation for the purpose of notice. If no such address appears on the
corporation's books or is given, notice shall be deemed to have been given
if
sent to that shareholder by first-class mail or telegraphic, electronic
transmission, or other written communication to the corporation's principal
executive office, or if published at least once in a newspaper of general

If
the notice is delivered personally, or by telephone, electronic transmission
or
