ARTICLE IV
QUORUM AND VOTING OF STOCK
Section 1. QUORUM. The holders of a majority of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the articles of incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
Section 2. QUORUM; ACTION. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of stock represented and voting at the meeting (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum), shall be the act of the shareholders unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by law or the articles of incorporation.
Section 3. VOTING. Each outstanding share of stock, having voting power, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. In all elections for directors, every shareholder entitled to vote shall have the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares of stock owned by him for as many persons as there are directors to be elected, or, upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 708(b) of the California General Corporation Law, to cumulate the vote of said shares, and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which the shareholder's shares are normally entitled, or to distribute the votes on the same principle among as many candidates as he may see fit. Section 708(b) of the California General Corporation Law provides that no shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes for any candidate for the office of director unless such candidates' names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the shareholder has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of his intention to cumulate his votes.
Section 4. SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING. Unless otherwise provided in the articles, any action, which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. In the case of election of directors, such consent shall be effective only if signed by the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote for the election of directors. Election by shareholders of a director to fill a vacancy not filled by the directors, if by written consent, requires the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. An election by shareholders to fill a vacancy created by removal, if by written consent, requires the unanimous consent of all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors.

Section 4. ATTENDANCE; WAIVER OF NOTICE.

Section 5. QUORUM. A majority of the authorized directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business unless a greater number is required by law or by the articles of incorporation.

When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the board of directors, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, may prescribe such terms and conditions as it deems expedient, and may require such indemnities as it deems adequate, to protect the corporation from any claim that may be made against it with respect to any such certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.
Section 3. TRANSFERS OF SHARES.

Section 5. RECORD DATE. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting unless the board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, but the board shall fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned for more than 45 days from the date set for the original meeting.
Section 6. REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS. The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of California.

Section 6. ANNUAL REPOERT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS. The annual report to shareholders referred to in Section 1501 of the General Corporation Law is expressly dispensed with, but nothing herein shall be interpreted as prohibiting the board of directors from issuing an annual or other period reports to the shareholders of the corporations, as they deem appropriate.
ARTICLE XIII

Section 1. BYLAW AMENDMENTS. These bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed or new bylaws may be adopted (a) at any regular or special meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present or represented, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the stock entitled to vote, provided notice of the proposed alteration, amendment or repeal be contained in the notice of such meeting, or (b) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the board of directors at any regular or special meeting of the board. The board of directors shall not make or alter any bylaw specifying a fixed number of directors or the maximum or minimum number of directors and the directors shall not change a fixed board to a variable board or vice versa in the bylaws.

Any provision (or portion thereof) in these bylaws which is not permissible under the California General Corporation Law or is inconsistent with the articles of incorporation of this corporation (as they may from time to time be amended and supplemented) is void, but the balance of these bylaws shall nevertheless be valid and effective.
Section 2. CONSTRUCTION AND DEFINITIONS. Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction and definitions in the California General Corporation Law shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term "person" includes both a corporation and a natural person.
