STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders
shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation, at 227
South Ninth Avenue; Pocatello, ID 83201 or at such other places on
the third Monday of May, or at such other times as the Board of
Directors may, from time to time, determine. If the day so
designated falls upon a legal holiday then the meeting shall be
held upon the first business day thereafter. The Secretary shall
serve personally or by mail a written notice thereof, not less
than ten (10) nor more than fifty (50) days previous to such
meeting, addressed to each stockholder at his address as it
appears on the stock book; but at any meeting at which all
stockholders shall be present, or of which all stockholders not
present have waived notice in writing, the giving of notice as
above required may be dispensed with.
Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders
other than those regulated by statute, may be called at any time
by a majority of the Directors. Notice of such meeting stating the
place, day and hour and the purpose for which it is called shall
be served personally or by mail, not less than ten (10) days
before the date set for such meeting. If mailed, it shall be
directed to a stockholder at his address as it appears on the

Section 3. Closing of Transfer Books or fixing of Record
Date. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to
receive notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any
adjournment thereof, or stockholders entitled to receive payment
of any dividend; or in order to make a determination of
stockholders 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 not to exceed, in any case, fifty
(50) days. If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the
purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to
vote at a meeting of stockholders, such books shall be closed for
a least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu
of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may
fix in advance a date as the record date for any such
determination of stockholders, such date in any case to be not
more than fifty (50) days, and in case of a meeting of
stockholders, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on
which the particular action, requiring such determination of
stockholders, is to be taken. If the stock transfer books are not
closed, and no record date is fixed for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive notice of or to vote at a meeting
of stockholders, or stockholders 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
such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record
date for such determination as to stockholders. When a
determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
stockholders has been made as provided in this section, such
determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.
Section 4. Voting. At all meetings of the stockholders of
record having the right to vote, subject to the provisions of
Section 3, each stockholder of the Corporation is entitled to one
(1) vote for each share of stock having voting power standing in
the name of such stockholder on the books of the Corporation.
Votes may be cast in person or by written authorized proxy.
Section 5. Proxy. Each proxy must be executed in writing by
the stockholder of the Corporation or his duly authorized
attorney. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven
(11) months from the date of its execution unless it shall have
specified therein its duration.
Every proxy shall be revocable at the discretion of the
person executing it or of his personal representatives or assigns.
Section 6. Voting of Shares by certain Holders. Shares
standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by such
officer, agent or proxy as the by-laws of such corporation may
prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board of
Directors of such corporation may determine.
Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or
conservator may be noted by him 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 him 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.
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 name if authority so to do be contained in an
appropriate Order of the Court by which such receiver was
appointed.

by it in a fiduciary capacity shall not be voted, directly or
indirectly, at any meeting, and shall not be counted in

If a quorum shall not be present or represented, the

proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting, from time to
time, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such
rescheduled meeting at which a quorum shall be present or

having voting power which shall be necessary for the transaction

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1. Any person made a party to or involved in any
civil, criminal or administrative action, suit or proceeding by
reason of the fact that he or his testator or intestate is or was
a Director, officer, or employee of the Corporation, or of any
corporation which he, the testator, or intestate served as such at
the request of the Corporation, shall be indemnified by the
Corporation against expenses reasonably incurred by him or imposed
on him in connection with or resulting from the defense of such
action, suit, or proceeding and in connection with or resulting
from any appeal thereon, except with respect to matters as to
which it is adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such
officer, Director, or employee was liable to the Corporation, or
to such other corporation, for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his duty. As used herein the term "expense" shall
include all obligations incurred by such person for the payment of
money, including without limitation attorney's fees, judgments,
awards, fines, penalties, and amounts paid in satisfaction of
judgment or in settlement of any such action, suit, or
proceedings, except amounts paid to the Corporation or such other
corporation by him.
A judgment of conviction whether based on plea of guilty or
nolo contendere or its equivalent, or after trial, shall not of
itself be deemed an adjudication that such Director, officer or
employee is liable to the Corporation, or such other corporation,
for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties.
Determination of the rights of such indemnification and the amount
thereof may be made at the option of the person to be indemnified
pursuant to procedure set forth, from time to time, in the By-
Laws, or by any of the following procedures: (a) order of the
Court or administrative body or agency having jurisdiction of the
action, suit, or proceeding; (b) resolution adopted by a majority
of the quorum of the Board of Directors of the Corporation without
counting in such majority any
E-18
Directors who have incurred expenses in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding; (c) if there is no quorum of Directors
who have not incurred expense in connection with such action,
suit, or proceeding, then by resolution adopted by a majority of
the committee of stockholders and Directors who have not incurred
such expenses appointed by the Board of Directors; (d) resolution
adopted by a majority of the quorum of the Directors entitled to
vote at any meeting; or (e) Order of any Court having jurisdiction
over the Corporation. Any such determination that a payment by way
of indemnity should be made will be binding upon the Corporation.
Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other
right which such Directors, officers, and employees of the
Corporation and the other persons above mentioned may have or
hereafter acquire, and without limiting the generality of such
statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of
indemnification under any By-Law, Agreement, vote of stockholders,
provision of law, or otherwise in addition to their rights under
this Article. The provision of this Article shall apply to any
member of any committee appointed by the Board of Directors as
fully as though each person and been a Director, officer or
employee of the Corporation.
