4.  Record Date: For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the board of directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. The record date may not be fixed more than fifty and, in the case of a meeting of the shareholders, not less than ten days before the date of the proposed action, except when it is proposed that the authorized shares be increased, in which case the record date shall be set not less than thirty days before the date of such action.
 
5.  Voting List: At least ten days before each meeting of shareholders, the secretary of the corporation shall make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment of such meeting, which list shall be arranged in alphabetical order and shall contain the address of and number of shares held by each shareholder. This list shall be kept on file at the principal office of the corporation for a period of ten days prior to such meeting, shall be produced and kept open at the meeting, and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder during usual business hours of the corporation and during the whole time of the meeting.
 
6.  Notices: Written notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten nor more than fifty days before the date of the meeting unless it is proposed that the authorized shares be increased in which case at least thirty days notice shall be given. Notice shall be given either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the president, the secretary, or the officer or persons calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the corporation.

If a quorum shall not be present or represented, the shareholders present in person or by proxy may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, for a period not to exceed sixty days at any one adjournment, until the number of shares required for a quorum shall be present.

10.  Action by Shareholders Without a Meeting: Any action required to or which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to such action.

2.  The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the corporation, he is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, or trustee of, or in any similar managerial or fiduciary position of, or as an employee or agent of, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association, or other entity, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
 
3.  The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the corporation, he is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, or trustee of, or in any similar managerial or fiduciary position of, or as an employee or agent of, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association or other entity against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; but no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless, and then only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses that such court deems proper.
 
4.  To the extent that a person entitled to indemnity under paragraph 2 or 3 of this Article VI has been successful on the merits in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in paragraph 2 or 3 of this Article VI 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.
 
5.  Any indemnification under paragraph 2 or 3 of this Article VI (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the person seeking indemnification is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraph 2 or 3. Such determination shall be made by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding, or, if such a quorum is not obtainable or even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or by the shareholders.
 
6.  Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding as authorized in paragraph 5 of this Article VI upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person seeking the advance to repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation against such expenses pursuant to this Article VI.
 
7.  The indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under these articles of incorporation, any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, and any procedure provided for by any of the foregoing, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be in the position that entitled him to such indemnification and shall inure to the benefit of heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person. The provisions of this Article VI shall not be deemed to preclude the corporation from indemnifying other persons from similar or other expenses and liabilities as the board of directors or the shareholders may determine in a specific instance or by resolution of general application.

    8.      The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, or trustee, or in any similar managerial or fiduciary position, or as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other entity, or any other person against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not he would be entitled to indemnification under the provisions of this Article VI.

    3.  Transfers of Stock: Transfers of shares shall be made on the books of the corporation only upon presentation of the certificate or certificates representing such shares properly endorsed by the person or persons appearing upon the face of such certificate to be the owner, or accompanied by a proper transfer or assignment separate from the certificate, except as may otherwise be expressly provided by the statutes of the State of Colorado or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The officers or transfer agents of the corporation may, in their discretion, require a signature guaranty before making any transfer. The corporation shall be entitled to treat the person in whose name any shares of stock are registered on its books as the owner of those shares for all purposes, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim or interest in the shares on the part of any other person, whether or not the corporation shall have notice of such claim or interest.
