(b) Adjourned Meeting. If any stockholders meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time, and place, if the new date, time, and place are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

Each such waiver shall be delivered to the Company for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

(c)  a nominee for director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of stockholders;

Except as provided below, voting shall be by ballot on any question as to which a ballot vote is demanded prior to the time the voting begins by any person entitled to vote on such question; otherwise, a voice vote shall suffice.  Unless otherwise provided in the Articles, all elections of directors shall be by written ballot.  No ballot or change of vote shall be accepted after the polls have been declared closed following the ending of the announced time for voting.
 
3.06. Proxies. At any meeting of the stockholders, any stockholder may be represented and vote by a proxy or proxies appointed by an instrument in writing. In the event that any such instrument in writing shall designate two (2) or more persons to act as proxies, 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 written instrument upon all the persons so designated unless the instrument shall otherwise provide. No such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of its execution, unless coupled with an interest or unless the person executing it specifies therein the length of time for which it is to continue in force, which in no case shall exceed seven (7) years from the date of its execution. Subject to the above, any proxy duly executed is not revoked and continues in full force and effect until an instrument revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date is filed with the Secretary of the Company.

3.09. Organization and Conduct of Meetings. Each meeting of the stockholders shall be called to order and thereafter chaired by the Chairman of the Board of Directors if there is one, or, if not, or if the Chairman of the Board of Directors is absent or so requests, then by the Chief Executive Officer or President, or if both the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer or President are unavailable, then by such other officer of the Company or such stockholder as may be appointed by the Board of Directors.

After calling a meeting to order, the chairman thereof may require the registration of all stockholders intending to vote in person and the filing of all proxies with the election inspector or inspectors, if one or more have been appointed (or, if not, with the secretary of the meeting). After the announced time for such filing of proxies has ended, no further proxies or changes, substitutions, or revocations of proxies shall be accepted. If directors are to be elected, a tabulation of the proxies so filed will, if any person entitled to vote in such election so requests, be announced at the meeting (or adjournment thereof) prior to the closing of the election polls. Absent a showing of bad faith on his or her part, the chairman of a meeting will, among other things, have absolute authority to fix the period of time allowed for the registration of stockholders and the filing of proxies, to determine the order of business to be conducted at such meeting, and to establish reasonable rules for expediting the business of the meeting and preserving the orderly conduct thereof (including any informal, or question and answer portions thereof).
 
3.10. Stockholder Approval or Ratification. The Board of Directors may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification of the stockholders at a duly constituted meeting of the stockholders. Except as otherwise determined by law, a ratification or validation of a corporate act is conclusive in the absence of actual fraud in the transaction. Ratification or validation must not be the exclusive means by which a corporate act may be ratified or validated and shall not be construed to limit the authority of the board of directors, the stockholders or the corporation to effect any lawful means of ratification or validation of a corporate act or correction of a record.
 
3.11. Informalities and Irregularities. All informalities or irregularities in any call or notice of a meeting of the stockholders or in the areas of credentials, proxies, quorums, voting, and similar matters, shall be deemed waived if no objection is made at the meeting.

VI. CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER

(a) Content. Certificates representing shares of the Company shall, at a minimum, state on their face the name of the issuing company and that it is formed under the laws of the State of Nevada, the name of the person to whom issued, and the number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, the certificate represents.

Each certificate for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified and shall exhibit such information as may be required by law. If a supply of unissued certificates bearing the facsimile signature of a person remains when that person ceases to hold the office of the Company indicated on such certificates or ceases to be the transfer agent or registrar of the Company, they may still be issued by the Company and countersigned, registered, issued, and delivered by the Company’s transfer agent and/or registrar thereafter, as though such person had continued to hold the office indicated on such certificate.

(c) Stockholder List. The name and address of the person to whom shares are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the Company.
 
(d) Lost Certificates. In the event of the loss, theft, or destruction of any certificate representing shares of the Company or of any predecessor company, the Company may issue (or, in the case of any such shares as to which a transfer agent and/or registrar have been appointed, may direct such transfer agent and/or registrar to countersign, register, and issue) a new certificate, and cause the same to be delivered to the registered owner of the shares represented thereby; provided that such owner shall have submitted such evidence showing the circumstances of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction, and his, her, or its ownership of the certificate, as the Company considers satisfactory, together with any other facts that the Company considers pertinent; and further provided that, if so required by the Company, the owner shall provide a bond or other indemnity in form and amount satisfactory to the Company (and to its transfer agent and/or registrar, if applicable).
