shall be held in May of each year or at such other time designated by the
Board of Directors and as is provided for in the notice of the meeting, for
the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other

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 may
be convenient.
Section 2.02 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may
be called at any time by the chairman of the board, the president, or by the
Board of Directors, or in their absence or disability, by any vice president,
and shall be called by the president or, in his or her absence or disability,
by a vice president or by the secretary on the written request of the holders
of not less than one-tenth of all the shares entitled to vote at the meeting,
such written request to state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and to be
delivered to the president, each vice-president, or secretary. In case of
failure to call such meeting within 60 days after such request, such
shareholder or shareholders may call the same.
Section 2.03 Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors may designate
any place, either within or without the state of incorporation, as the place
of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the

shareholder of record entitled to vote.
Section 2.05 Waiver of Notice. Any shareholder may waive notice of any
meeting of shareholders (however called or noticed, whether or not called or
noticed and whether before, during, or after the meeting), by signing a
written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting, or an

whether waiver, consent, or approval is signed or any objections are made.
All such waivers, consents, or approvals shall be made a part of the minutes
of the meeting.
Section 2.06 Fixing Record Date. For the purpose of determining
shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any annual meeting of
shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive
payment of any 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 share transfer books shall be closed, for the purpose of
determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting, but
not for a period exceeding fifty (50) days. If the share transfer books are
closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to
vote at such meeting, such books shall be closed for at least ten (10) days
immediately preceding such meeting.
In lieu of closing the share transfer books, the Board of Directors may
fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of
shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than fifty (50) and, in
case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten (10) days prior to the
date on which the particular action requiring such determination of
shareholders is to be taken. If the share 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 or 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 such dividend is adopted, as
the case may be, shall be the record date for such 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. Failure to comply with
this Section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting of
shareholders.
Section 2.07 Voting Lists. The officer or agent of the corporation
having charge of the share transfer books for shares of the corporation shall
make, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of shareholders, a complete

thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of, and the number
of shares held by each, which list, for a period of ten (10) days prior to
such meeting, shall be kept on file at the registered office of the
corporation and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder during the
whole time of the meeting. The original share transfer book shall be prima
facia evidence as to the shareholders who are entitled to examine such list or
transfer books, or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.
Section 2.08 Quorum. One-half of the total voting power of the
outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in person
or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of the shareholders. If a
quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power
represented by shares at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject shall
constitute action by the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or
voting by classes is required by the laws of the state of incorporation of the
corporation or the Articles of Incorporation. If less than one-half of the
outstanding voting power is represented at a meeting, a majority of the voting
power represented by shares so present 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 noticed.
Section 2.09 Voting of Shares. Each outstanding share of the
corporation entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote on each matter
submitted to vote at a meeting of shareholders, except to the extent that the
voting rights of the shares of any class or series of stock are determined and
specified as greater or lesser than one vote per share in the manner provided
by the Articles of Incorporation.
Section 2.10 Proxies. At each meeting of the shareholders, each
shareholder entitled to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy;
provided, however, that the right to vote by proxy shall exist only in case
the instrument authorizing such proxy to act shall have been executed in
writing by the registered holder or holders of such shares, as the case may
be, as shown on the share transfer of the corporation or by his or her or her
attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing. Such instrument authorizing a
proxy to act shall be delivered at the beginning of such meeting to the
secretary of the corporation or to such other officer or person who may, in
the absence of the secretary, be acting as secretary of the meeting. In the
event that any such instrument shall designate two or more persons to act as
proxies, a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or if only one be
present, that one shall (unless the instrument shall otherwise provide) have
all of the powers conferred by the instrument on all persons so designated.
Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the
shares so held and the persons whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to
vote, unless in the transfer by the pledge or on the books of the corporation
he or she shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which
case the pledgee, or his or her or her proxy, may represent such shares and
vote thereon.
Section 2.11 Written Consent to 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

signed by a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the
subject matter thereof.

shareholders of the corporation.

least ten (10) days prior thereto by written notice delivered personally or
mailed to each director at his or her regular business address or residence,
or by telegram. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when

prepaid. If notice be given by telegram, such notice shall be deemed to be
delivered when the telegram is delivered to the telegraph company. Any
director may waive notice of any meeting. Attendance of a director at a

director attends a meeting solely for the express purpose of objecting to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened.
Section 3.08 Quorum. A majority of the number of directors shall

majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time

present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the
Board of Directors, and the individual directors shall have no power as such.

shall occur in the Board of Directors by reason of death, resignation or
otherwise, or if the number of directors shall be increased, the directors

directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of
the Board of Directors, and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each
meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director. No such
payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other
capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
Section 3.12 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 or her or her dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the
meeting, unless he or she shall file his or her or her written dissent to such
action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the

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.

committee, may be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing, setting
forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the directors, or all of
the members of the committee, as the case may be. Such consent shall have the
same legal effect as a unanimous vote of all the directors or members of the
committee.

equitable, or other claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any
other person whether or not it or they shall have express or other notice
thereof.
Section 6.03 Regulations. Subject to the provisions of this Article VI
and of the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors may make such
rules and regulations as they may deem expedient concerning the issuance,
transfer, redemption, and registration of certificates for shares of the
corporation.
Section 6.04 Maintenance of Stock Ledger at Principal Place of Business.
A share book (or books where more than one kind, class, or series of stock is
outstanding) shall be kept at the principal place of business of the
corporation, or at such other place as the Board of Directors shall determine,
containing the names, alphabetically arranged, of original shareholders of the
corporation, their addresses, their interest, the amount paid on their shares,
and all transfers thereof and the number and class of shares held by each.
Such share books shall at all reasonable hours be subject to inspection by
persons entitled by law to inspect the same.
Section 6.05 Transfer Agents and Registrars. The Board of Directors may
appoint one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars with respect to
the certificates representing shares of the corporation, and may require all
such certificates to bear the signature of either or both. The Board of
Directors may from time to time define the respective duties of such transfer
agents and registrars. No certificate for shares shall be valid until
countersigned by a transfer agent, if at the date appearing thereon the
corporation had a transfer agent for such shares, and until registered by a
registrar, if at such date the corporation had a registrar for such shares.
Section 6.06 Closing of Transfer Books and Fixing of Record Date.
(a) The Board of Directors shall have power to close the share books of
the corporation for a period of not to exceed 50 days preceding the date
of any meeting of shareholders, or the date for payment of any dividend,
or the date for the allotment of rights, or capital shares shall go into
effect, or a date in connection with obtaining the consent of
shareholders for any purpose.
(b) In lieu of closing the share transfer books as aforesaid, the Board
of Directors may fix in advance a date, not exceeding 50 days preceding
the date of any meeting of shareholders, or the date for the payment of
any dividend, or the date for the allotment of rights, or the date when
any change or conversion or exchange of capital shares shall go into
effect, or a date in connection with obtaining any such consent, as a
record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to a
notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting and any adjournment thereof,
or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend, or to any such
allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect of any such
change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or to give such consent.
(c) If the share transfer books shall be closed or a record date set for
the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote
at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall be closed for, or such
record date shall be, at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such
meeting.
Section 6.07 Lost or Destroyed Certificates. The corporation may issue
a new certificate for shares of the corporation in place of any certificate
theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost or destroyed, and the
Board of Directors may, in its discretion, require the owner of the lost or
destroyed certificate or his or her legal representatives, to give the
corporation a bond in such form and amount as the Board of Directors may
direct, and with such surety or sureties as may be satisfactory to the board,
to indemnify the corporation and its transfer agents and registrars, if any,
against any claims that may be made against it or any such transfer agent or
registrar on account of the issuance of such new certificate. A new
certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of
the Board of Directors, it is proper to do so.
Section 6.08 No Limitation on Voting Rights; Limitation on Dissenter's
Rights. To the extent permissible under the applicable law of any
jurisdiction to which the corporation may become subject by reason of the
conduct of business, the ownership of assets, the residence of shareholders,
the location of offices or facilities, or any other item, the corporation
elects not to be governed by the provisions of any statute that (i) limits,
restricts, modified, suspends, terminates, or otherwise affects the rights of
any shareholder to cast one vote for each share of common stock registered in
the name of such shareholder on the books of the corporation, without regard
to whether such shares were acquired directly from the corporation or from any
other person and without regard to whether such shareholder has the power to
exercise or direct the exercise of voting power over any specific fraction of
the shares of common stock of the corporation issued and outstanding or (ii)
grants to any shareholder the right to have his or her stock redeemed or
purchased by the corporation or any other shareholder on the acquisition by
any person or group of persons of shares of the corporation. In particular,
to the extent permitted under the laws of the state of incorporation, the
corporation elects not to be governed by any such provision, including the
provisions of the Nevada Control Share Acquisitions Act, Sections 78.378 to
78.3793, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or any statute of similar
effect or tenor.

INDEMNIFICATION, INSURANCE, AND
OFFICER AND DIRECTOR CONTRACTS
Section 8.01 Indemnification: Third Party Actions. The corporation
shall have the power to 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 by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) judgments, fines, and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with
any such action, suit or proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she 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 or her 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 or she reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe
that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 8.02 Indemnification: Corporate Actions. The corporation shall
have the power to 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 by
or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she 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 a person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the corporation, unless
and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought
shall determine on application that, despite the adjudication of liability but
in view of all circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Section 8.03 Determination. To the extent that a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in
Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter
therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
Any other indemnification under Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, shall be made
by the corporation upon a determination that indemnification of the officer,
director, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she
has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 8.01 and 8.02
hereof. Such determination shall be made either (i) by the Board of Directors
by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to
such action, suit, or proceeding; or (ii) by independent legal counsel on a
written opinion; or (iii) by the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum
of shareholders at any meeting duly called for such purpose.
Section 8.04 General Indemnification. The indemnification provided by
this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other indemnification
granted under any provision of any statute, in the corporation's Articles of
Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her 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 a director, officer, employee, or agent,
and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of such
a person.
Section 8.05 Advances. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit, or proceeding as contemplated in this Section may be
paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit, or proceeding upon a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors
and upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officers,
employee, or agent to repay such amount or amounts unless if it is ultimately
determined that he or she is to indemnified by the corporation as authorized
by this Section.
Section 8.06 Scope of Indemnification. The indemnification authorized
by this Section shall apply to all present and future directors, officers,
employees, and agents of the corporation and shall continue as to such persons
who ceases to be directors, officers, employees, or agents of the corporation,
and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of
all such persons and shall be in addition to all other indemnification
permitted by law.
8.07. Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, employee, or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted
against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising
out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have
the power to indemnify him or her against any such liability and under the
laws of the state of incorporation, as the same may hereafter be amended or
modified.
