ARTICLE II
DIRECTORS
2.1 Number, Term of Office. The number of directors of the corporation
shall be as determined from time to time by the shareholders. Directors
need not be shareholders. Each director shall hold office for an
indefinite term, not to exceed five years, that expires at the regular
meeting of shareholders next held after the director's election and
until a successor is elected and has qualified, or until the earlier
death, resignation, removal, or disqualification of the director.
2.2 Removal. The Board of Directors or the shareholders may remove any
director of the corporation at any time, for cause or without cause.
New directors may be elected at a meeting at which directors are
removed.
2.3 Board Meetings, Notice. The Chief Executive Officer (if a director),
the Chairman of the Board of Directors (if one is elected) or Directors
comprising at least one third of the number of directors then in office
may call a Board meeting by giving five days notice if by mail, or two
days notice if by telephone, telex, telegram, or in person, to all
directors of the day or date and time of the meeting. Meetings of the
Board of Directors may be held at the day or date, time, and place, as
shall be determined by the Board. If the day or date, time, and place
have been announced at a previous meeting of the Board, or if a meeting
schedule is adopted by the Board, no notice is required. In absence of
a designation by the Board of Directors, Board meetings shall be held
at the principal executive offices of the corporation.
2.4 (a) Advance Written Consent or Opposition. Any member of the Board or a
committee thereof, as the case may be, may give advance written consent
or opposition to a proposal to be acted on at a Board or committee
meeting. If a director or committee member is not present at the
meeting, advance written consent or opposition to a proposal does not
constitute presence for the purpose of determining whether a quorum
exists, but such advance written consent or opposition shall be a vote
in favor of or against the proposal or resolution acted upon at the
meeting is substantially the same or has substantially the same effect
as the proposal or resolution to which the member of the Board or
committee has consented or objected.
(b) Action Without Meeting. Any action, other than an action requiring
shareholder approval, may be taken by written action signed by the
number of directors that would be required to take the same action at a
meeting of the Board at which all directors were present. An action
2
requiring shareholder approval required or permitted to be taken at a
board meeting may be taken by written action signed by all the
directors. Any such written action is effective when signed by the
required number of directors, unless a different effective time is
provided in the written action. When written action is taken by less
than all directors, all directors shall be notified immediately of its
text and effective date. Failure to provide the notice does not
invalidate the written action. A director who does not sign or consent
to the written action has no liability for the action or actions taken.

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and may elect such

responsibilities incident to the offices which they hold or as
determined by the Board. Officers need not be directors or
shareholders. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board may elect a
Chairman of the Board, President, one or more Vice Presidents, a
Treasurer, a Secretary and such assistant officers as it may designate
with titles to describe their duties, functions or special
