Written notice stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, except as otherwise required by statute or the articles of incorporation, either personally, by mail or by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the official government mail of the United States or any other country, postage prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the stock records of the Corporation. If given personally or otherwise than by mail, such notice shall be deemed to be given when either handed to the stockholder or delivered to the stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.

The record date for determining the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors.

Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, at the Corporation’s principal offices. The list shall be produced and kept at the place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 1.8 Voting and Proxies. At every meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder, but no proxy shall be voted on after six months from its date unless the proxy provides for a longer period, which may not exceed seven years. When a specified item of business is required to be voted on by a class or series of stock, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such item of business by that class or series. If a quorum is present at a properly held meeting of the shareholders, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter under consideration, shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes (i) is required by the articles of incorporation, or (ii) has been provided for in an agreement among all shareholders entered into pursuant to and enforceable under Nevada Revised Statutes §78.365.

Section 1.9 Waiver.

Section 5.3 Successful Defense. To the extent that any person referred to in the preceding two sections of this Article V has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in such sections, or in defense of any claim issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
