The principal office of GCI Cable/Juneau, Inc. (the "Corporation")
shall be located in Anchorage, Alaska. The Corporation may have such other
offices, either within or without the State of Alaska, as the Board of Directors
may designate or as the business of the Corporation may require from time to
time.
The registered office of the Corporation required by the Alaska
Corporations Code to be maintained in the State of Alaska may be, but need not
be, identical with the principal office in the State of Alaska, and the address
of the registered office may be changed from time to time by the Board of
Directors.
ARTICLE II
SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS
Section 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the Shareholders shall
be held in the month of June of each year, for the purpose of electing Directors
and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting.
If the election of Directors shall not be held on the day designated for the
annual meeting of the Shareholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of
Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the
Shareholders as soon thereafter as it conveniently may be held.
(a) Meetings of the Shareholders shall be presided over by the
President or by any officer or Director or person selected at any time by the
President to act as Chairman, or if he is not present or available or makes no
selection, then by the Chairman of the Board of Directors. If neither the
President nor the Chairman of the Board of Directors is present and no selection
has been made, a Chairman should be chosen by a majority in interest of the
Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote
thereat.
(b) The Secretary of the meeting shall be the Secretary of the
Corporation or an Assistant Secretary, or if none of such officers is present,
any person appointed by the Chairman of the meeting.
Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Shareholders for
any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called
by the President or by the Board of Directors, and shall be called by the
President at the request of the holders of not less than one-tenth of all the
outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting.
-1-
Section 3. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any
place, either within or without the State of Alaska, as the place of meeting
called by the Board of Directors. A waiver of notice signed by all Shareholders
entitled to vote at a meeting may designate any place, either within or without
the State of Alaska, as the place for the holding of such meeting. If no
designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of
meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation in the State of Alaska.
Section 4. Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the place, day and
hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes
for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than twenty (20)
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, or the Secretary, or the
persons calling the meeting, to each Shareholder of record entitled to vote at
such meeting. If mailed, the notice is considered delivered when deposited with
postage prepaid in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at the
address of the shareholder as it appears on the stock transfer book of the
corporation, or, if the shareholder has filed with the secretary of the
corporation a written request that notice be mailed to a different address,
addressed to the shareholder at the new address.
Section 5. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date. For the
purpose of determining Shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or Shareholders entitled to
receive payment of a dividend, or in order to make a determination of
Shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the
Corporation may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a
stated period but not to exceed, in any case, seventy (70) days. If the stock
transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining Shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders, such books shall
be closed for at least twenty (20) days immediately preceding such meeting.
Instead of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may
fix a date as the record date for any such determination of Shareholders. This
record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days, and in case of a meeting of
Shareholders not less than twenty (20) days, prior to the date on which the
particular action requiring such determination of Shareholders is to be taken.
If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the
determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
Shareholders, or Shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the
date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the
resolution of the Board of Directors declaring the dividend is adopted is, as
the case may be, the record date for the determination of Shareholders. When a
determination of Shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of Shareholders
has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any
adjournment thereof except where the determination has been made through the
closing of the stock transfer books and the stated period of closing has
expired.
-2-
Section 6. Voting Lists. At least twenty (20) days before each meeting
of the Shareholders, the officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer
books for shares of the Corporation shall make a complete list of the
Shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment
thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of
shares held by each. The list shall be kept on file at the registered office of
the corporation and is subject to inspection by a Shareholder or the agent or
attorney of a Shareholder at any time during the usual business hours for a
period of twenty (20) days before the meeting. Such list shall 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.
Section 7. Quorum. A majority of the outstanding shares of the
Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at a meeting of Shareholders. If a quorum is present, the
affirmative vote of the majority of shares represented at the meeting and
entitled to vote on the subject matter is the act of the Shareholders unless the
vote of a greater number or voting by class is required by the articles of
incorporation, bylaws or the Alaska Corporations Code.
The Shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to
transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
Shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken other than
adjournment is approved by at least a majority of shares required to constitute
a quorum.
If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a
meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from
time to time without further notice. 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 meeting as originally notified.
Section 8. Proxies. At all meetings of Shareholders, a Shareholder may
vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the Shareholder or by his duly
authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the
Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. A proxy continues in full
force and effect until revoked by the person executing it, however, no proxy
shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless
such proxy qualifies as an irrevocable proxy as defined within AS 10.06.418(e).
Section 9. Voting of Shares. An outstanding share, regardless of class,
is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of
Shareholders, except as may be otherwise provided in the articles of
incorporation.
-3-
Section 10. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders.
(a) Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by
such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe,
or, in the absence of such provisions, as the board of directors of such
corporation may determine.
(b) Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator
may be voted by such person, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of
such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted
by the trustee, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled
to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name.
(c) 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 into his name if authority to transfer the
shares is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver
was appointed.
(d) 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.
(e) Neither treasury shares, nor shares of its own stock held by the
Corporation in a fiduciary capacity, nor shares held by another corporation if a
majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of the
other corporation is held by the Corporation, may be voted at a meeting or
counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares.
Section 11. Informal Action by Shareholders. Any action required to be
taken at a meeting of the Shareholders, or any other action which may be taken
at a meeting of the Shareholders, may be taken without a meeting by written
consent, identical in content setting out the action taken, signed by all of the
Shareholders entitled to vote on the action.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 1. General Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation
shall be managed by its Board of Directors.
Section 2. Number, Tenure and Qualifications. The number of Directors
of the Corporation shall be not less than one (l) nor more than nine (9); unless
the Corporation, now or at any time in the future, has three (3) or more
Shareholders in which case the Corporation shall have not fewer than three (3)
directors; or unless the Corporation has
-4-
only two (2) Shareholders, in which case the Corporation shall have at least two
(2) directors. Each Director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of
Shareholders and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.
Directors need not be residents of the State of Alaska or Shareholders of the
Corporation. The initial number of Directors shall be five (5).
Section 3. Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the Board of
Directors shall be held without other notice than this Bylaw immediately after,
and at the same place as, the annual meeting of the Shareholders. The Board of
Directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place, either within or
without the State of Alaska, for the holding of additional regular meetings
without other notice than such resolution.
Section 4. Special Meetings.
(a) Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the
Chairman of the Board, the President, a Vice President, the Secretary, or a
Director or such person authorized to call the meeting may fix the time and
place for holding the meeting, either inside or outside the State of Alaska.
(b) Notice of any special meeting shall be given at least ten (10) days
prior thereto by written notice delivered personally or mailed to each Director
at his business address, or at least seventy-two (72) hours before the meeting
by electronic means, personal messenger, or comparable person-to-person
communication. If mailed by certified mail, such notice shall be deemed to be
delivered when deposited in the United States mail properly addressed, with
postage thereon prepaid. Any Director may waive notice of any meeting. The
attendance of a Director at a 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. Neither the business to be transacted nor the
purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be
specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
Section 5. Quorum. A majority of the presently qualified Directors
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the
Board of Directors, but if less than such majority is present at a meeting, a
majority of the Directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time
without further notice; provided, further, that where there are only two
Directors, both shall be necessary to constitute a quorum.
Section 6. Manner of Acting. The act of the majority of the Directors
present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board
of Directors.
Section 7. Attendance at Meetings. The Board of Directors may conduct a
meeting of the Board by communicating simultaneously with each other by means of
-5-
conference telephones or similar communications equipment and any action taken
at such meeting shall not be invalidated by reason of the fact that the
respective members of the Board were not assembled together in one place at the
time of taking such action or conducting such business.
Section 8. Vacancies. Where a vacancy created by the removal of a
Director is pursuant to AS 10.06.460 or 10.06.463, such vacancies occurring on
the Board may be filled only by a vote of the Shareholders. Any other vacancy
occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the remaining Directors though less than a quorum of the Board of
Directors. A Director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the
unexpired term of his predecessor in office. Any directorship to be filled by
reason of an increase in the number of Directors may be filled by election by
the Board of Directors for a term of office continuing only until the next
election of Directors by the Shareholders. In no case may a vacancy continue
longer than six (6) months or until the next annual meeting, whichever occurs
first.
Section 9. Compensation. By resolution of the Board of Directors, each
Director may be paid his or her expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting
of the Board of Directors, and may be paid a stated salary as Director or a
fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or both. No
such payment shall preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any
other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
Section 10. Presumption of Assent. A Director of the Corporation who is
present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on any corporate
matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless
his/her dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he/she
shall file a 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 Corporation immediately after
the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a
Director who voted in favor of such action.
Section 11. Removal of Directors. Any Director may be removed with or
without cause, at any time, by a vote of the Shareholders holding a majority of
the shares then issued and outstanding, at any special meeting called for that
purpose, or at the annual meeting. Except as otherwise prescribed by statute, a
Director may be removed for cause by a vote of the majority of the entire board.
Prior to vote by the Board on the question of removal of any Director for cause,
such Director must be given written notice of the reasons for such action.
Section 12. Resignation. A Director may resign effective upon giving
written notice to the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary, or
the Board of Directors of the Corporation, unless the notice specifies a later
time for the effectiveness of the
-6-
resignation. If the resignation is effective at a future time, a successor may
be elected to take office when the resignation becomes effective.
Section 13. Voting by Interested Directors. No Director may vote upon
any matter in which he has an adverse or personal interest, unless such interest
has been fully disclosed to the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors,
by majority of vote without the interested Director voting, permits such
interested Director to vote.
Section 14. Action by Directors Without a Meeting. Action required or
permitted to be taken by the Board or a committee designated by the Board may be
taken without a meeting on written consents, identical in consent, setting out

the President of the Board of Directors.
Section 10. Salaries. The salaries of the officers shall be fixed from
time to time by the Board of Directors and no officer shall be prevented from
receiving such salary by reason of the fact that he is also a Director of the
Corporation.
ARTICLE V
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS
AND AGENTS OF THE CORPORATION
Section 1. Limitation of Liability. No person shall be liable to the
Corporation for any loss or damage suffered by it on account of any action taken
or omitted to be taken in good faith, as a Director, member of a Committee or
Officer of the Corporation, if such person exercised or used the same degree of
care and skill, including reasonable inquiry, as a prudent person would have
exercised or used under the circumstances in the conduct
-9-
of his/her own affairs. Without limitation on the foregoing, any such person
shall be deemed to have exercised or used such degree of care and skill if such
action were taken or omitted in reliance in good faith upon advice of counsel
for the Corporation, or the books of account or other records of the
Corporation, or reports or information made or furnished to the Corporation by
any officials, accountants, engineers, agents or employees of the Corporation,
or by an independent Certified Public Accountant or auditor, engineer,
appraiser, or other expert employed by the Corporation and selected with
reasonable care by the Board of Directors, by any such committee or by an
authorized officer of the Corporation.
Section 2. Right of Indemnification. Each Director, member of a
Committee, Officer, Agent and Employee of the Corporation, and each former
director, member of a committee, officer, agent and employee of the Corporation,
and any person who may have served at its request as a director, officer, agent
or employee of another Corporation in which it is a creditor, and his heirs and
personal representative shall be indemnified by the Corporation against all loss
or damage suffered and all costs and expenses imposed upon or incurred by him in
connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceedings (whether civil
or criminal in nature) in which he may be involved, to which he may be a party
by reason of being or having been (or his personal representative or estate
having been) such director, member of a committee, officer, agent or employee,
except in relation to matters as to which he shall be adjudged in such action,
suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in performance of
his duty; provided, however, that the Corporation shall be given reasonable
notice of the institution of such action, suit or proceedings; and in the event
the same shall be settled in whole or in part, the Corporation or its counsel
shall consent to such settlement if it be determined by its counsel or found by
a majority of the Board of Directors then in office and not involved in such
controversy, that such settlement is to the best interest of the Corporation and
that the person to be indemnified was not guilty of negligence or misconduct in
performance of duty.
Indemnification (unless ordered by the court) shall be made by
the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the director,
officer, employee or committee member has met the applicable standard of
conduct. This determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors, by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the
action or proceeding; or (b) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion,
either (i) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or (ii) if a quorum of
disinterested directors so requests such a written opinion; or (c) by approval
of the outstanding shares.
Section 3. Rights Cumulative. The provisions of this Article V shall
not be deemed exclusive or in limitation of, but shall be cumulative of and in
addition to any other limitations of liability, indemnities, and rights to which
such Director, member of a Committee, Officer, Agent or other person may be
entitled under Alaska Statute, these

laws or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
corporation that registration is not required.
Section 2. Transfer of Shares. Transfer of any shares of the
Corporation shall be done in compliance with all federal, state and local
securities laws, and any transfer of in violation thereof is void. Transfer of
