7
existence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation which shall authorize any such contracts or transactions with like force and effect as if he were not such trustee, director or officer of such other trust, organization or corporation, or not so interested.
In all other matters, the general standards of conduct for Directors shall be governed by the applicable laws of the state of Utah.

C. TRANSFER OF SHARES
Transfer of shares of the Corporation shall be made only on the share transfer records of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by his legal representative, who shall furnish proper evidence of authority to transfer, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation, and on surrender for cancellation of the certificate for such shares.

13

5. The payment of the purchase price shall be as follows:
a. The transferring Shareholder shall receive a down payment of ten percent (10%) of the purchase price within thirty (30) days of the unanimous vote of the Shareholders approving the Transfer; and

The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including all appeals (other than an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer or employee of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, decrees, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
14
opposed to the best interest of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
B. DERIVATIVE ACTIONS
The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit, including all appeals, by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer or employee of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been finally adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper.
C. RIGHTS AFTER SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE
To the extent that a director, trustee, officer or employee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 10A or Section 10B or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
D. OTHER DETERMINATION OF RIGHTS
Except in a situation governed by Section 10C, any indemnification under Section 10A or Section 10B, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, trustee, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 10A or Section 10B. Such determination shall be made:
1. By a majority vote of directors acting at a meeting at which a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding is present;
2. If such a quorum is not obtainable or even if obtainable and a majority of disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel compensated by the Corporation in a written opinion; or
15
3. By the affirmative vote in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, without regard to voting power which may thereafter exist upon a default, failure or other contingency.
E. ADVANCES OF EXPENSES
Expenses of each person indemnified hereunder incurred in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceedings including all appeals thereof, may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors, whether a disinterested quorum exists or not, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, trustee, officer or employee to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.
F. NONEXCLUSIVENESS; HEIRS
The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled as a matter of law or under the Articles, these Bylaws, any agreement, vote of Shareholders, any insurance purchased by the Corporation or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be director, trustee, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
G. PURCHASE OF INSURANCE
The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article or under Utah law.
Section 11 DIVIDENDS
The Board of Directors may from time to time declare, and the Corporation may pay dividends on its outstanding shares in the manner and upon the terms and conditions provided by law and its Articles of Incorporation.
16
Section 12 GENERAL COUNSEL
The Board of Directors may appoint a General Counsel who shall advise and represent the Corporation generally in all legal matters and proceedings and shall act as counsel to the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. The General Counsel may sign and execute pleadings, powers of attorney pertaining to legal matters and any other contracts and documents in the regular course of his duties.
Section 13 SEAL
The Board of Directors may provide a corporate seal which shall be circular in form and shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Corporation and the state of incorporation and the words “Corporate Seal”.
Section 14 WAIVER OF NOTICE
Whenever any notice is required to be given to any Shareholder or Director of the Corporation under the provisions of these Bylaws or under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or under the provisions of Utah law, a waiver thereof, in writing and signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.
