A NEVADA CORPORATION
ARTICLE I
SHAREHOLDERS

of directors and the transaction of other business on such date in each year as
may be determined by the Board of Directors, but in no event later than 100 days
after the anniversary of the date of incorporation of the Corporation.
2. SPECIAL MEETINGS
Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Board of
Directors, Chairman of the Board or President and shall be called by the Board
upon written request of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding
shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting requested to be
called. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed
meeting. At such special meetings the only business which may be transacted is
that relating to the purpose or purposes set forth in the notice thereof.
3. PLACE OF MEETINGS
Meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such place within or
outside of the State of Nevada as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. If no
place is fixed, such meetings shall be held at the principal office of the
Corporation.
4. NOTICE OF MEETINGS
Notice of each meeting of the shareholders shall be given in writing
and shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and the purpose or
purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of a special meeting shall
indicate that it is being issued by or at the direction of the person or persons
calling or requesting the meeting.
If, at any meeting, action is proposed to be taken which, if taken,
would entitle objecting shareholders to receive payment for their shares, the
notice shall include a statement of that purpose and to that effect.
A copy of the notice of each meeting shall be given, personally or by
first class mail, not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of
the meeting, to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed,
such notice shall be deemed to have been given when deposited in the United
States mail, with postage thereon paid, directed to the shareholder at his
address as it appears on the record of the shareholders, or, if he shall have
filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a written request that notices to
him or her be mailed to some other address, then directed to him at such other
address.
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not be
necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place to
which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the
adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted
that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. However, if
after the adjournment the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the
adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each
shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to notice under this
Section 4.
5. WAIVER OF NOTICE
Notice of a meeting need not be given to any shareholder who submits a
signed waiver of notice, in person or by proxy, whether before or after the
meeting. The attendance of any shareholder at a meeting, in person or by proxy,
without protesting prior to the conclusion of the meeting the lack of notice of
such meeting, shall constitute a waiver of notice by him or her.
6. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION
The Board of Directors, in advance of any shareholders' meeting, may
appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.
If inspectors are not so appointed, the person presiding at a shareholders'
meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder entitled to vote thereat
shall, appoint two inspectors. In case any person appointed fails to appear or
act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment in advance of the meeting by the
Board or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, before
entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath
faithfully to execute the duties of such inspector at such meeting with strict
impartiality and according to the best of his ability.
The inspectors shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the
voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a
quorum, and the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots
or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in
connection with the right to vote at the meeting, count and tabulate all votes,
ballots or consents, determine the result thereof, and do such acts as are
proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. On
request of the person presiding at the meeting, or of any shareholder entitled
to vote thereat, the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge,
question or matter determined by them and shall execute a certificate of any
fact found by them. Any report or certificate made by them shall be prima facie
evidence of the facts stated and of any vote certified by them.
7. LIST OF SHAREHOLDERS AT MEETINGS
A list of the shareholders as of the record date, certified by the
Secretary or any Assistant Secretary or by a transfer agent, shall be produced
at any meeting of the shareholders upon the request thereat or prior thereto of
any shareholder. If the right to vote at any meeting is challenged, the
inspectors of election, or the person presiding thereat, shall require such list
of the shareholders to be produced as evidence of the right of the persons
challenged to vote at such meeting, and all persons who appear from such list to
be shareholders entitled to vote thereat may vote at such meeting.
8. QUALIFICATION OF VOTERS
Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, every
shareholder of record shall be entitled at every meeting of the shareholders to
one vote for every share standing in its name on the record of the shareholders.
Treasury shares as of the record date and shares held as of the record
date by another domestic or foreign corporation of any kind, if a majority of
the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other
corporation is held as of the record date by the Corporation, shall not be
shares entitled to vote or to be counted in determining the total number of
outstanding shares.
Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, conservator,
committee or other fiduciary, other than a trustee, may be voted by such
fiduciary, either in person or by proxy, without the transfer of such shares
into the name of such fiduciary. Shares held by a trustee may be voted by him or
her, either in person or by proxy, only after the shares have been transferred
into his name as trustee or into the name of his nominee.
Shares standing in the name of another domestic or foreign corporation
of any type or kind may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws
of such corporation may provide, or, in the absence of such provision, as the
board of directors of such corporation may determine.
No shareholder shall sell his vote, or issue a proxy to vote, to any
person for any sum of money or anything of value except as permitted by law.
9. QUORUM OF SHAREHOLDERS
The holders of a majority of the shares of the Corporation issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote at any meeting of the shareholders shall
constitute a quorum at such meeting for the transaction of any business,
provided that when a specified item of business is required to be voted on by a
class or series, voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the shares of
such class or series shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such
specified item of business.
When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it is not broken
by the subsequent withdrawal of any shareholders.
The shareholders who are present in person or by proxy and who are
entitled to vote may, by a majority of votes cast, adjourn the meeting despite
the absence of a quorum.
10. PROXIES
Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders, or
to express consent or dissent without a meeting, may authorize another person or
persons to act for him by proxy.
Every proxy must be signed by the shareholder or its attorney. No proxy
shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months from the date thereof
unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the
pleasure of the shareholder executing it, except as otherwise provided by law.
The authority of the holder of a proxy to act shall not be revoked by
the incompetence or death of the shareholder who executed the proxy, unless
before the authority is exercised written notice of an adjudication of such
incompetence or of such death is received by the Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary.
11. VOTE OR CONSENT OF SHAREHOLDERS
Directors, except as otherwise required by law, shall be elected by a
plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders by the holders of
shares entitled to vote in the election.
Whenever any corporate action, other than the election of directors, is
to be taken by vote of the shareholders, it shall, except as otherwise required
by law, be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of
shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon.
Whenever shareholders are required are required or permitted to take
any action by vote, such action may be taken without a meeting on written
consent, setting forth the action so taken, signed by the holders of all
outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. Written consent thus given by the
holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote shall have the same effect as
a unanimous vote of shareholders.
12. FIXING THE RECORD DATE
For the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of
or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to
express consent to or dissent from any proposal without a meeting, or for the
purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend
or the allotment of any rights, or for the purpose of any other action, the
Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such
determination of shareholders. Such date shall not be less than ten nor more
than sixty days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior
to any other action.
When a determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or
to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this
Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the
Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

directors, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, firm,
association or other entity in which one or more of the directors are directors
or officers, or are financially interested, shall be either void or voidable,
irrespective of whether such interested director or directors are present at a
meeting of the Board of Directors, or of a committee thereof, which authorizes
such contract or transaction and irrespective of whether his or their votes are
counted for such purpose. In the absence of fraud any such contract and
transaction conclusively may be authorized or approved as fair and reasonable
by: (a) the Board of Directors or a duly empowered committee thereof, by a vote
sufficient for such purpose without counting the vote or votes of such
interested director or directors (although such interested director or directors
may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at the meeting which
authorizes such contract or transaction), if the fact of such common
directorship, officership or financial interest is disclosed or known to the
Board or committee, as the case may be; or (b) the shareholders entitled to vote
for the election of directors, if such common directorship, officership or
financial interest is disclosed or known to such shareholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no loan, except advances in connection
with indemnification, shall be made by the Corporation to any director unless it
is authorized by vote of the shareholders without counting any shares of the
director who would be the borrower or unless the director who would be the
borrower is the sole shareholder of the Corporation.
