1.2           PRINCIPAL OFFICE.  The Corporation may have such other office or offices either within or outside of the State of Nevada as the business of the Corporation may require from time to time if so designated by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS

2.1           ANNUAL MEETING.  Unless otherwise designated by the Board of Directors, the annual meeting shall be held on the date and at the time and place fixed by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the first annual meeting shall be held on a date that is within 18 months after the date on which the Corporation first has stockholders, and each successive annual meeting shall be held on a date that is within 18 months after the preceding annual meeting.

2.2           SPECIAL MEETINGS.  Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation, for any purpose, may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the president, any vice president, or any two members of the Board of Directors. At a special meeting no business shall be transacted and no corporate action shall be taken other than that stated in the notice of the meeting.

2.3           PLACE OF MEETING.  The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or outside the State of Nevada, as the place for any annual meeting or special meeting called by the Board of Directors.  If no designation is made, or if a meeting shall be called otherwise than by the Board, the place of meeting shall be the Company's principal offices, whether within or outside the State of Nevada.

2.4           NOTICE OF MEETING.  Written notice signed by an officer designated by the Board of Directors, stating the place, day, and hour of the meeting and the purpose for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered personally or mailed postage prepaid to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the meeting.  If mailed, such notice shall be directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears upon the records of the Corporation, and notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the mailing of any such notice, and the time of the notice shall begin to run from the date upon which the notice is deposited in the mail for transmission to the stockholder.  Personal delivery of any such notice to any officer of a corporation or association, or to any member of a partnership, constitutes delivery of the notice to the corporation, association or partnership.  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.

2.5           ADJOURNMENT.  When a meeting is for any reason adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the
 
 
1

meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  At the adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

2.6           ORGANIZATION.  The president or any vice president shall call meetings of stockholders to order and act as chairman of such meetings.  In the absence of said officers, any stockholder entitled to vote at that meeting, or any proxy of any such stockholder, may call the meeting to order and a chairman shall be elected by a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote at that meeting.  In the absence of the secretary or any assistant secretary of the Corporation, any person appointed by the chairman shall act as secretary of such meeting. An appropriate number of inspectors for any meeting of stockholders may be appointed by the chairman of such meeting.  Inspectors so appointed will open and close the polls, will receive and take charge of proxies and ballots, and will decide all questions as to the qualifications of voters, validity of proxies and ballots, and the number of votes properly cast.

2.8           QUORUM.  Two-thirds of the voting power that is present, in person or by proxy, regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders.  If less than two-thirds of the voting power is represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting without further notice for a period not to exceed 60 days at any one adjournment.  At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.  The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of stockholders so that less than a quorum remains.

Unless the NRS provides for different proportions, if a quorum is present, action by the stockholders on a matter other than the election of directors is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action.ion.

2.10                      VOTING OF SHARES.  Each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote, and each fractional share shall be entitled to a corresponding fractional vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, except as may be otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or in the resolution providing for the issuance of the stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation.  If the Articles of Incorporation or any such resolution provide for more or less than one vote per share for any class or series of shares on any matter, every reference in the Articles of Incorporation, these  Bylaws and the NRS to a majority or other proportion or number of shares shall be deemed to refer to a majority or other proportion of the voting power of all of the shares or those classes or series of shares,  as may be required by the Articles of Incorporation, or in the resolution providing for the issuance of the stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by the Articles  of Incorporation, or the NRS.  Cumulative voting shall not be allowed.

2.12                      MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE.  Unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, stockholders may participate in a meeting of stockholders by means of a telephone conference or similar method of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.  Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section constitutes presence in person at the meeting.

2.13                      VOTING BY CLASS OR SERIES.  Unless otherwise provided in the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, if voting by a class or series of stockholders is permitted or required, a majority of the voting power of the class or series that is present in person or by proxy, regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.  An act by the stockholders of each class or series is approved if a majority of the voting power of a quorum of the class or series votes for the action.

3.8           SPECIAL MEETINGS.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of the president, the entire board of directors, or any two directors.  The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may fix any place, either within or outside Nevada, as the place for holding any special meeting of the Board of Directors called by them.

3.9           NOTICE.  Notice of any special meeting shall be given at least two days previously thereto by written notice delivered personally or mailed to each director at his business address.  Any director may waive notice of any meeting.  A director's presence at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting if the director's oral consent is entered on the minutes or by taking part in the deliberations at such meeting without objecting.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

3.10                      QUORUM.  A majority of the number of directors elected and qualified at the time of the meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any such meeting of the Board of Directors, but if less than such majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

3.11                      MANNER OF ACTING.

3.12                      COMPENSATION.  By resolution of the Board of Directors, any director may be paid any one or more of the following:  his expenses, if any, of attendance at meetings; a fixed sum for attendance at such meeting; or a stated salary as director.  No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

3.13                      ACTION TAKEN WITHOUT A MEETING.  Unless otherwise provided in the Articles
 
4

of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by all the members of the Board or of the committee.  The written consent must be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board or committee.

3.14                      MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE.  Unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board of Directors or of any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board or committee by means of a telephone conference or similar method of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.  Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section constitutes presence in person at the meeting.

A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (C) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such person on the date of such stockholder’s notice and (D) any other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor statute thereto (the “Exchange Act”) (including without limitation such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice (A) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s (or its agent’s) books, of such stockholder and any other stockholders known by such stockholder to be supporting such nominee(s), (B) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such stockholder on the date of such stockholder’s notice, and (C) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; and (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the stockholder.  No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.15.  The chairman of the meeting shall, if the
 
 
5

 
facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by this Section and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

ARTICLE IV

4.4           VACANCIES.  A vacancy in any office, however occurring, may be filled by the Board of Directors for the unexpired portion of the term.

4.5           PRESIDENT.  The president shall, subject to the direction and supervision of the Board of Directors, be the chief executive officer of the Corporation and shall have general and active control of its affairs and business and general supervision of its officers, agents, and employees.  The president shall, unless otherwise directed by the Board of Directors, attend in person or by substitute appointed by him/her, or shall execute, on behalf of the Corporation, written instruments appointing a proxy or proxies to represent the Corporation, at all meetings of the stockholders of any other corporation in which the Corporation shall hold any stock.  The president may, on behalf of the Corporation, in person or by substitute or by proxy, execute written waivers of notice and consents with respect to any such meetings.  At all such meetings and otherwise, the president, in person or by substitute or proxy as aforesaid, may vote the stock so held by the Corporation and may execute written consents and other instruments with respect to such stock and may exercise any and all rights and powers incident to the ownership of said stock, subject however to the instructions, if any, of the Board of Directors.  The president shall have custody of the treasurer's bond, if any.  If a chairman of the board has been elected, the chairman of the board shall have, subject to the direction and modification of the Board of Directors, all the same responsibilities, rights, and obligations as described in these Bylaws for the president.

ARTICLE V
STOCK

5.1           CERTIFICATES.  The shares of stock shall be represented by consecutively numbered certificates signed in the name of the Corporation by its president or a vice president and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or by the secretary or an assistant secretary, and shall be sealed with the seal of the Corporation, or with a facsimile thereof.  Whenever any certificate is countersigned or otherwise authenticated by a transfer agent or transfer clerk, and by a registrar, then a facsimile of the signatures of the officers or agents, the transfer agent or transfer clerk or the registrar of the Corporation may be printed or lithographed upon the certificate in lieu of the actual signatures.  If the Corporation uses facsimile signatures of its officers and agents on its stock certificates, it cannot act as the registrar of its own stock, but its transfer agent and registrar may be identical if the institution acting in those dual capacities countersigns or otherwise authenticates any stock certificates in both capacities.  In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is 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 the certificates, or whose facsimile signature has been used thereon, had not ceased to be an officer of the Corporation.

Each certificate representing shares shall state the following upon the face thereof: the name of the state of the Corporation's organization; the name of the person to whom issued; the number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, which such certificate represents; the par value of each share represented by such certificate or a statement that the shares are without par value.  Certificates of stock shall be in such form consistent with law as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

5.2           RECORD.  A record shall be kept of the name of each person or other entity holding the stock represented by each certificate for shares of the Corporation issued, the number of shares represented by each such certificate, the date thereof and, in the case of cancellation, the date of cancellation. The person or other entity in whose name shares of stock stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof, and thus a holder of record of such shares of stock, for all purposes as regards the Corporation.

5.3           CONSIDERATION FOR SHARES.  Shares shall be issued for such consideration, expressed in dollars (but not less than the par value thereof) as shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.  That part of the surplus of the Corporation which is transferred to stated capital upon the issuance of shares as a share dividend shall be deemed the consideration for the issuance of such dividend shares.  Such consideration may consist, in whole or in part, of money, promissory notes, other property, tangible or intangible, or in labor or services actually performed for the Corporation, contracts for services to be performed or other securities of the Corporation.

5.4           CANCELLATION OF CERTIFICATES.  All certificates surrendered to the Corporation for transfer shall be canceled and no new certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof until the former certificate for a like number of shares shall have been surrendered and canceled, except as herein provided with respect to lost, stolen, or destroyed certificates.

5.5           LOST CERTIFICATES.  In case of the alleged loss, destruction, or mutilation of a certificate of stock, the Board of Directors may direct the issuance of a new certificate in lieu thereof upon such terms and conditions in conformity with law as it may prescribe.  The Board of Directors may in its discretion require a bond, in such form and amount and with such surety as it may determine, before issuing a new certificate.

8

5.6           TRANSFER OF SHARES.  Upon surrender to the Corporation or to a transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate of stock duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer, and such documentary stamps as may be required by law, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, and cancel the old certificate.  Every such transfer of stock shall be entered on the stock book of the Corporation which shall be kept at its principal office or by its registrar duly appointed.

The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share of stock as the holder in fact thereof, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share on the part of any other person whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as may be required by the laws of Nevada.

5.7           TRANSFER AGENTS, REGISTRARS, AND PAYING AGENTS.  The Board may at its discretion appoint one or more transfer agents, registrars, and agents for making payment upon any class of stock, bond, debenture, or other security of the Corporation.  Such agents and registrars may be located either within or outside Nevada.  They shall have such rights and duties and shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed.
