In the case of a special meeting of stockholders, nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting:

(1) by or at the direction of the Board; or

(2) provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.4(ii) is delivered to the secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting upon such election and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(ii).
