ARTICLE I
STOCKHOLDERS
1. CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING STOCK. Every holder of stock in the
corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name
of, the corporation by the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors,
if any, or by the President or a Vice-President and by the Treasurer or an
Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the
corporation or by agents designated by the Board of Directors, certifying the
number of shares owned by him in the corporation and setting forth any
additional statements that may be required by the General Corporation Law of the
State of Nevada (General Corporation Law). If any such certificate is
countersigned or otherwise authenticated by a transfer agent or transfer clerk,
and by a registrar, a facsimile of the signature of the officers, the transfer
agent or the transfer clerk or the registrar of the corporation may be printed
or lithographed upon the certificate in lieu of the actual signatures. If any
officer or officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or
signatures shall have been used on any certificate or certificates shall cease
to be such officer or officers of the corporation before such certificate or
certificates shall have been delivered by the corporation, the certificate or
certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the corporation and be issued and
delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or
certificates, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used
thereon, had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation.
Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one
class of stock or more than one series of any class of stock, the certificates
representing stock of any such class or series shall set forth thereon the
statements prescribed by the General Corporation Law. Any restrictions on the
transfer or registration of transfer of any shares of stock of any class or
series shall be noted conspicuously on the certificate representing such shares.
The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in place of any
certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or
destroyed, and the Board of Directors may require the owner of any lost, stolen,
or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the corporation a
bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made
against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such
certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

2. FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS. The corporation is not obliged to but
may execute and deliver a certificate for or including a fraction of a share. In
lieu of executing and delivering a certificate for a fraction of a share, the
corporation may proceed in the manner prescribed by the provisions of Section
78.205 of the General Corporation Law.
3. STOCK TRANSFERS. Upon compliance with provisions restricting the
transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock, if any, transfers or
registration of transfers of shares of stock of the corporation shall be made
only on the stock ledger of the corporation by the registered holder thereof, or
by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and
filed with the Secretary of the corporation or with a transfer agent or a
registrar, if any, and on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such
shares of stock properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes, if any, due
thereon.
4. RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDERS. For the purpose of determining the
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or
any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or the allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights
in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock or for the purpose of
any other lawful action, the directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which
shall not be more than sixty days nor less than ten days before the date of such
meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. If a record date is
not fixed, the record date is at the close of business on the day before the day
on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on
the day before the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders applies to an
adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may
fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. The directors must fix a new
record date if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than sixty days later
than the date set for the original meeting.
5. MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS. As used in these Bylaws in respect of the
right to notice of a meeting of stockholders or a waiver thereof or to
participate or vote thereat or to consent or dissent in writing in lieu of a
meeting, as the case may be, the term "share" or "shares" or "share of stock" or
"shares of stock" or "stockholder" or "stockholders" refers to an outstanding
share or shares of stock and to a holder or holders of record of outstanding
shares of stock when the corporation is authorized to issue only one class of
shares of stock, and said reference is also intended to include any outstanding
share or shares of stock and any holder or holders of record of outstanding
shares of stock of any class upon which or upon whom the Articles of
Incorporation confers such rights where there are two or more classes or series
of shares of stock or upon which or upon whom the General Corporation Law
confers such rights notwithstanding that the articles of incorporation may
provide for more than one class or series of shares of stock, one or more of
which are limited or denied such rights thereunder; provided, however, that no
such right shall vest in the event of an increase or a decrease in the
authorized number of shares of stock of any class or series which is otherwise
denied voting rights under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation.
6. STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS.
- TIME. The annual meeting shall be held on the date and at the time
fixed, from time to time, by the directors, provided, that the first annual
meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the organization of
the corporation, and each successive annual meeting shall
2
be held on a date within thirteen months after the date of the preceding annual
meeting. A special meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed by
the directors.
- PLACE. Annual meetings and special meetings shall be held at
such place, within or without the State of Nevada, as the directors may, from
time to time, fix.

the directors or by any officer instructed by the directors to call the meeting.
- NOTICE OR WAIVER OF NOTICE. Notice of all meetings shall be
in writing and signed by the President or a Vice-President, or the Secretary, or
an Assistant Secretary, or by such other person or persons as the directors must
designate. The notice must state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting
is called and the time when, and the place, where it is to be held. A copy of
the notice must be either delivered personally or mailed postage prepaid to each
stockholder not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the meeting. If
mailed, it must be directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears upon
the records of the corporation. Any stockholder may waive notice of any meeting
by a writing signed by him, or his duly authorized attorney, either before or
after the meeting; and if notice of any kind is required to be given under the
provisions of the General Corporation Law, a waiver thereof in writing and duly
signed whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed
equivalent thereto.
- CONDUCT OF MEETING. Meetings of the stockholders shall be
presided over by one of the following officers in the order of seniority and if
present and acting - the Chairman of the Board, if any, the Vice-Chairman of the
Board, if any, the President, a Vice-President, or, if none of the foregoing is
in office and present and acting, by a chairman to be chosen by the
stockholders. The Secretary of the corporation, or in his absence, an Assistant
Secretary, shall act as secretary of every meeting, but if neither the Secretary
nor an Assistant Secretary is present the Chairman of the meeting shall appoint
a secretary of the meeting.
- PROXY REPRESENTATION. At any meeting of stockholders, any
stockholder may designate another person or persons to act for him by proxy in
any manner described in, or otherwise authorized by, the provisions of Section
78.355 of the General Corporation Law.
- INSPECTORS. The directors, in advance of any meeting, may,
but need not, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting
or any adjournment thereof. If an inspector or inspectors are not appointed, the
person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more
inspectors. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector fails to
appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the directors in
advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each
inspector, if any, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take
and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting
with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The
inspectors, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock outstanding
and the voting power of each, the shares of stock represented at the meeting,
the existence of a quorum, 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, count and tabulate all votes,
ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to
conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. On request of
the person presiding at the meeting, the inspector or
3
inspectors, if any, shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or
matter determined by him or them and execute a certificate of any fact found by
him or them.
- QUORUM. A majority of the voting power, which includes the
voting power that is present in person or by proxy, regardless of whether the
proxy has authority to vote on all matters, constitutes a quorum at a meeting of
stockholders for the transaction of business unless the action to be taken at
the meeting shall require a greater proportion. The stockholders present may
adjourn the meeting despite the absence of a quorum.
- VOTING. Each share of stock shall entitle the holder thereof
to one vote. In the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall
elect. Any other action is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the
action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, except
where the General Corporation Law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these
Bylaws prescribe a different percentage of votes and/or a different exercise of
voting power. In the election of directors, voting need not be by ballot; and,
except as otherwise may be provided by the General Corporation Law, voting by
ballot shall not be required for any other action.
Stockholders may participate in a meeting of stockholders by
means of a conference telephone or similar method of communication by which all
persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.
7. STOCKHOLDER ACTION WITHOUT MEETINGS. Except as may
otherwise be provided by the General Corporation Law, any action required or
permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a
meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by
stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power; provided that if a
different proportion of voting power is required for such an action at a
meeting, then that proportion of written consents is required. In no instance
where action is authorized by written consent need a meeting of stockholders be
called or noticed.
ARTICLE II

which govern a meeting of directors held to fill vacancies and newly created
directorships in the Board or action of disinterested directors.
Members of the Board or of any committee which may be designated by the
Board may participate in a meeting of the Board or of any such committee, as the
