Upon a request being made by written notice to the president or, in his absence or disability, to the vice president, or, in the absence of the vice president, to the secretary, by any person or persons herein empowered to call a special meeting; if such officer is the secretary, he shall give notice to the shareholders or, if such officer is other than the secretary, he shall cause the secretary to give notice to the shareholders that such meeting has been called for the purpose or purposes stated in such request and is to be held at a specified time, which time, as fixed by such officers, shall not be less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of such request. If notice of such meeting be not given to the shareholders within seven (7) days after the receipt of such request, such person or persons making such request may fix the time of such special meeting and give notice thereof in the same manner as hereinafter provided for notice of special meetings of shareholders to be given by the secretary of the Corporation.


Section 4. Notice of Meeting. If the shareholders’ meeting is not held upon the unanimous consent of the shareholders, a written or printed notice of every annual or special meeting of the shareholders stating the time and place and, in case of special meetings, the object or objects thereof, shall be prepared and mailed by the secretary of the Corporation, postage prepaid, to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat at such address as appears on the books of the Corporation, at least ten (10) days before the date of any such meeting. The general nature of the business or proposal shall be given in the case of a special meeting of the shareholders before action may be taken at such meeting upon any of the following proposals: (a) to sell, lease, convey, exchange, transfer, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation; (b) to amend the By-laws; (c) to change the stated capital of the Corporation; (d) to amend the Articles of Incorporation, except to extend the term of the corporate existence; (e) to merge or consolidate with another corporation, domestic or foreign; (f) to wind-up and dissolve the Corporation; or, (g) to adopt a plan of distribution of shares, securities, or any consideration other than money in the process of winding-up.

Section 5. Quorum. A majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote thereat, exclusive of treasury shares, if any, shall be necessary to constitute a quorum at meetings of shareholders. When a quorum is present at any meeting, a majority of the shares represented thereat and entitled to vote thereat shall decide any question brought before such meeting. In the absence of a quorum, those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is obtained, but until a quorum is obtained, may transact no business.

Section 6. Voting. At each meeting of shareholders, every shareholder shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy and he shall have one vote for each share standing registered in his name at the closing of the transfer books for such meeting, or the record date fixed for such meeting by the Board of Directors, as the case may be, or standing registered in his name at the time of such meeting if neither a date for the closing of the transfer books nor a record date for such meeting has been fixed by the Board of Directors. The voting at all meetings of shareholders may be viva voce, but any qualified voter may demand a share vote by written ballot, whereupon such share vote shall be taken by written ballot, each of which shall state the name of the shareholder voting and the number of shares voted by him and, if such ballot be cast by proxy, it shall also state the name of such proxy.


Section 7. Proxies. Any shareholder entitled to vote may cast his votes in person or by proxy. The appointment of a proxy shall be in writing and signed but shall require no other attestation and shall be filed with the secretary of the Corporation at or before the meeting, but in no case shall a proxy be appointed for a period of over seven years. If any shareholder appoints two or more persons to act as proxies and if the instrument does not otherwise provide, then a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or if only one shall be present, then that one shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred by such instrument upon all of the persons so appointed; and if such proxies be equally divided as to the right and manner of voting in any particular case, the vote shall be divided among the proxies. Any person holding shares in a representative or fiduciary capacity which he may represent in person may represent the same by proxy and confer general discretionary power upon such a proxy. The authority of a proxy if not coupled with an interest may be terminated at will. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, the proxy’s authority shall cease eleven months after the appointment. The termination of a proxy’s authority by act of the shareholder shall, subject to the time limitation herein set forth, be ineffective until written notice of the termination has been given to the secretary of the Corporation. Unless otherwise provided therein, an appointment filed with the secretary shall have the effect of revoking all proxy appointments of prior date. A proxy’s authority shall not be revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless before the vote is cast or the authority is exercised, written notice of such death or incapacity is given to the Corporation.

Section 8. Consent and Waiver of Notice. Any transactions of the shareholders at any meetings thereof, regardless of how or whether call was made or notice given, shall be valid as though transacted at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present, either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the shareholders entitled to vote and not present is person or by proxy sign a written Waiver of Notice, a consent to the holding of such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents, or approvals shall be filed with the secretary or made a part of the records of the meeting.

Whenever any notice whatsoever is required to be given under the provisions of these By-laws, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the actual giving of such notice.

Section 9. Memorandum of Action. Any action which, under any provisions of these By-laws or under any provisions of the laws of the State of Oklahoma or under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, might be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a record or memorandum thereof be made in writing and signed by all of the holders of shares who would be entitled to vote at a meeting for such purpose, and such record or memorandum be filed with the secretary and made a part of the corporate records.
