(b)

The record date for determining stockholders for any purpose other than that specified in paragraph (a) shall be at the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the board relating thereto is adopted.

3.

When a determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the board fixes a new record date under this section for the adjourned meeting.
