The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of shareholders previously scheduled by the Board.

2.2. SPECIAL MEETINGS.

(a) Subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock, if any, special meetings of the shareholders may be called only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board, by the chairman of the board, if any, or the chief executive officer, if any, or, the president. The Board shall fix the date, time and place, if any, of such special meeting.

2.4. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose for which the meeting is called, shall be given to each shareholder of record having voting power with respect to the business to be transacted at such meeting, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary, or the Board. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the mail in a sealed envelope addressed to the Shareholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Company, with postage thereon prepaid. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to shareholders, notice of meetings may be given to shareholders by means of electronic transmission in accordance with applicable law. Notice of any meeting need not be given to any shareholder who shall, either before or after the meeting, submit a waiver of notice or who shall attend such meeting, except when the shareholder attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any shareholder so waiving notice of the meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of the meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

2.5. PURPOSE. No matter which is not within the purpose or purposes specifically described in the notice of a special meeting shall be conducted at the meeting, nor shall any action be taken by the shareholders on any other matter unless it is specifically described as a purpose in the notice for the special meeting. Notice of an annual meeting need not include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

2.6. FIXING OF RECORD DATE. The Board may fix in advance a date, not exceeding sixty (60) and not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of any meeting of shareholders, or to the date for the payment of any dividend or for the allotment of rights, or to the date when any exchange or reclassification of shares shall be effective, as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, such meeting, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any such dividend or to receive any such allotment of rights, or to exercise rights in respect of any exchange or reclassification of shares; and the shareholders of record on such date shall be the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at, such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights in the event of an exchange or reclassification of shares, as the case may be. If the transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed by the Board, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed shall be deemed to be the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting. Transferees of shares which are transferred after the record date shall not be entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting. Only shareholders on the record date fixed by this Section 2.6 are entitled to notice of and permitted to vote or to demand a special meeting or to take any other action, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Company after any such record date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order that the Company may determine the shareholders entitled to receive payment of any share dividend or other distribution from the Company or allotment of any rights or the shareholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

In order to determine the shareholders entitled to vote and take action without a meeting of the shareholders, as provided in Section 2.14 of these Bylaws, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than twenty (20) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. If no record date has been fixed by the Board, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting: (1) when no prior action by the Board is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed written consent, setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company in the manner required by Section 2.14, was signed by any shareholder, and (2) if prior action by the Board is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest date on which a consent delivered to the Company as required by this Section was signed, written consents signed by sufficient shareholders to take the action have been delivered to the Company.

2.7. VOTING LISTS. The officer or agent having charge of the transfer book for shares of the Company shall prepare, not less than two (2) days after notice of the meeting is given for which the list was prepared, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each, which list shall be kept on file at the principal office of the Company and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting. The original share ledger or transfer book, or a duplicate thereof kept at the Company’s principal office, shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list or share ledger or transfer book or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

2.8. QUORUM. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares are present in person or by proxy with respect to that matter. Unless the Articles of Incorporation or the Act provide otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. In the absence of a quorum at any meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days at any one adjournment without further notice. At such adjourned meeting, at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting, and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or shall be set for that adjourned meeting.

If different quorums are required for different purposes at a meeting, the absence of a quorum on one purpose shall not affect the ability of the shareholders at the meeting to act on other purposes where a quorum is present.

2.9. MANNER OF ACTING. At any shareholder meeting at which a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote as a separate voting group shall be the act of the shareholders.

2.10. PROXIES. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy execute in writing, either manually or by facsimile, by the shareholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Company not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time of the meeting, unless the Board fixes a different time by which proxies must be filed. Unless otherwise provided in the proxy, a proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted, either by written notice filed with the Secretary or the Acting Secretary of the meeting or by oral notice given by the shareholder to the presiding officer during the meeting. The presence of a shareholder who has filed his or her proxy shall not of itself constitute a revocation. No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Appointments of proxies shall be in such form as shall be required by the Board and as set forth in the notice of meeting and/or proxy or information statement concerning such meeting. The proxies named in the Company’s proxy statement shall have discretionary authority to vote at all meetings of shareholders as provided in Rule 14a-4(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as that rule is currently in effect or as it subsequently may be amended or superseded.

2.11. VOTING OF SHARES. Each outstanding share of common stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote upon each matter to which they are entitled to vote submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders.

2.12. VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent, or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine.

Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his or her name if authority so to do be contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.

A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

Treasury shares of its own stock held by the Company shall not be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time for purposes of any meeting.

3

Redeemable shares which have been called for redemption shall not be entitled to vote on any matter and shall not be deemed outstanding shares on and after the date on which written notice of redemption has been mailed to shareholders and a sum sufficient to redeem such shares has been deposited with a bank or trust company with irrevocable instruction and authority to pay the redemption price to the holders of the shares upon surrender of certificates therefor.

2.13. VOTING BY BALLOT. Voting on any question or in any election may be by voice vote unless the presiding officer shall order or any shareholder shall demand that voting be by ballot.

2.14. ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action required or permitted by the Act to be taken at a shareholders’ meeting may be taken without a meeting, and without prior notice, as allowed under the Act. The action shall be evidenced by one (1) or more written consents bearing the date of signature and describing the action taken, signed by the holders of the requisite number of shares entitled to vote on the action, and delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. To the extent required by the Act, if action is taken by less than unanimous written consent of the voting shareholders, the Company shall give its non-consenting voting shareholders written notice of the action not more than ten (10) days after written consents sufficient to take the action have been delivered to the Company. The notice shall reasonably describe the action taken and contain or be accompanied by the same material that, under any provision of the Act, would have been required to be sent to voting shareholders in a notice of a meeting at which the action would have been submitted to the shareholders for action. Such notice requirement shall not delay the effectiveness of action taken by written consent, and a failure to comply with such notice requirements shall not invalidate actions taken by written consent.

2.15. PARTICIPATION BY ELECTRONIC MEANS. The shareholders may participate in any meeting of shareholders by means of telephone conference or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Such participation shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

2.16. RECORD DATE. The Board may fix in advance a date, not exceeding sixty (60) and not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of any meeting of shareholders, or to the date for the payment of any dividend or for the allotment of rights, or to exercise rights in respect of any exchange or reclassification of shares; and the shareholders of record on such date shall be the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at, such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights in the event of an exchange or reclassification of shares, as the case may be. If the transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed by the Board, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed (which shall not exceed sixty (60) or be less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the meeting) shall be deemed to be the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting. Transferees of shares which are transferred after the record date fixed by this Section 2.16 are entitled to notice of and permitted to vote or to demand a special meeting or to take any other action, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Company after any such record date.

2.17. SHAREHOLDER LISTS. Access to the list of shareholders shall be restricted to a period beginning two (2) business days after the date of the notice of the shareholders’ meeting for which the list was prepared and continuing through the meeting, or ten (10) business days before the date of the meeting, whichever is less. Copying of the list of shareholders may be made by such persons and subject to the requirements set forth in the Act. The Board may take such steps it deems reasonable or necessary to prevent the use of its shareholder lists for purposes not related to issues under consideration at a shareholder meeting.

2.18. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS AND NOMINATIONS.

The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

6

Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to a notice of meeting (A) by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof or (B) if the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in these Bylaws and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in these Bylaws and applicable law. In the event a special meeting of stockholders is called for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any stockholder of record among such requesting stockholders may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if such stockholder delivers notice with the information required by Section 2.09(a)(i)(C) of these Bylaws with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.9(a)(i)(C) of these Bylaws). Such notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment, recess or postponement or the announcement thereof of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(c) General.

(i) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and applicable law shall be eligible to serve as directors, and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as has been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and applicable law.

(ii) For purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by Dow Jones News Service, the Associated Press, or any other national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and “Stockholder Associated Person” shall mean, for any stockholder, (A) any person or entity controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (B) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder or (C) any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with any person or entity referred to in the preceding clauses (a) or (b).

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these Bylaws, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in these Bylaws; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or Section 2.09(b) of these Bylaws. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights (A) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (B) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock if and to the extent provided for under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

(iv) Unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) making a nomination or proposal under this Section 2.09 does not appear at a meeting of stockholders to present such nomination or proposal, the nomination shall be disregarded and the proposed business shall not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in favor thereof may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.9, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

If notice is given by facsimile or electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when the transmitting device confirms the transmission. Any Director may waive notice of any meeting. The attendance of a Director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the Board may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by all of the Directors and included in the minutes or filed with the corporate records reflecting the action taken. Actions taken by written unanimous consent are effective when the last Director signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date.

When one or more Directors shall resign from the Board, effective at a future date, a majority of the Directors then in office, including those who have so resigned or a majority of the shareholders, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the results of the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective.

3.13. REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS. At a special meeting called expressly for the purpose of removal of Directors, the shareholders entitled to vote for a Director may remove such Director, with or without cause, by a vote of the holders of 66⅔% of the shares then entitled to vote for such Director. The notice for any special meeting at which it is proposed that a Director be removed must specifically state that such is the purpose of the meeting.

3.14. PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT. A Director of the Company who is present at a meeting of the Board at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his or her dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he or she shall file his or her written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to the Secretary of the Company immediately after the adjournment of the meeting.

ARTICLE 9

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1. INDEMNIFICATION IN ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS OTHER THAN THOSE BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY. Subject to Section 9.3 and Section 9.10 , the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act and applicable Wyoming law as in effect at any time (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), indemnify, hold harmless and defend any person who: (i) was or is a director or officer of the Company or was or is a director or officer of a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or was or is otherwise directly involved in (including as a witness), any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such person was or is a director or officer of the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, or was or is serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, partner, member or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity or in any other capacity, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea or 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 such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

12

9.2. INDEMNIFICATION IN ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY. Subject to Section 9.3 and Section 9.10, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend any person who: (i) was or is a director or officer of the Company or was or is a director or officer of a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or was or is otherwise directly involved in (including as a witness), any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person was or is a director or officer of the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, or was or is serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, partner, member or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and whether the basis of such action, suit or proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity or in any other capacity, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Courts in the State of Wyoming or 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 which the Court in the State of Wyoming or such other court shall deem proper.

9.3. AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION. Any indemnification or defense under this Section 9 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination,: (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), selected by the Board, to the extent permitted by law, in a written opinion, or (iv) by the shareholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Company. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

9.4. GOOD FAITH DEFINED. For purposes of any determination under Section 9.3, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on good faith reliance on the records or books of account of the Company or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Company or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 9.4 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person was or is serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, partner, member or agent. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, as the case may be.

9.5. EXPENSES PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. Expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by a current or former director or officer in defending any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Section 9.

13

9.6. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The indemnification, defense and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Articles, any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The provisions of this Section 9 shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of, or advancement of expenses to, any person who is not specified in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 but whom the Company has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Act or otherwise.

9.7. CERTAIN REMEDIES. If a claim under Section 9.1 or 9.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a determination as to whether a claimant is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the reasonable expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the Act for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board, Independent Counsel or shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Act nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board, Independent Counsel or shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

9.8. BINDING EFFECT. If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9.3 that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 9.7.

9.9. VALIDITY OF THIS ARTICLE. The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 9.3 that the procedures and presumptions of this Article 9 are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Article 9.

9.10. INSURANCE. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who was or is a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, or was or is serving at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, employee, partner, member or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify, hold harmless or defend such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 9.

9.11. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Section 9, references to “the Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents so that any person who was or is a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or was or is serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner, member or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 9 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Section 9, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect of any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Section 9. For purposes of this Section 9, “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, a member of a law firm, or an independent practitioner that is experienced in matters of corporation law and shall include any such person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would not have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or the claimant in an action to determine the claimant’s rights under this Article 9.

14

9.12. SURVIVAL OF INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The indemnification, defense and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 9 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

9.13. LIMITATION ON INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9 to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and defense under this Section 9 (which shall be governed by Section 9.14(b)), the Company shall not be obligated under this Section 9 to indemnify, hold harmless or defend any director, officer, employee or agent in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

9.14. CONTRACT RIGHTS.

(a) The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 to indemnify, hold harmless and defend a person who was or is a director or officer of the Company or was or is a director or officer of a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, including the duty to advance expenses, shall be considered a contract between the Company and such person, and no modification or repeal of any provision of this Section 9 shall affect, to the detriment of such person, such obligations of the Company in connection with a claim based on any act or failure to act occurring before such modification or repeal.

(b) If a claim under Section 9.1, Section 9.2 or Section 9.5 is not paid in full by the Company within 90 days after a written claim has been received by the Company, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 45 days, the person making such claim may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, such person shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by such person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by such person to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense, and (ii) in any suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that such person has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Act. Neither the failure of the Company (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its Shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of such person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Act, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that such person has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that such person has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by such person, be a defense to such suit.

9.15. INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall have the express authority to enter into such agreements as the Board deems appropriate for the indemnification of present or future directors and officers of the Company in connection with their service to, or status with, the Company or any other corporation, entity or enterprise with whom such person is serving at the express written request of the Company.

9.16. INDEMNIFICATION OF OTHER PERSONS. The Corporation may grant rights to indemnification, and rights to the advancement by the Corporation of expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any present or former employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article 9 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.
