i

If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the board of directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or other facsimile transmission to the chairman of the board, the president, any vice president or the secretary of the corporation.  The officer receiving such request forthwith shall cause notice to be given to the shareholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of this Article II, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request.  If the notice is not given within twenty (20) days after receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the notice.  Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 2.3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of shareholders called by action of the board of directors may be held.


Section 2.4  NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETINGS.  All notices of meetings of shareholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 2.5 of this Article II not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting being noticed.  The notice shall specify the place, date and hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted, or (ii) in the case of the annual meeting, those matters which the board of directors, at the time of giving the notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders.  The notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the name of any nominee or nominees, which, at the time of the notice, the board of directors intends to present for election.


If action is proposed to be taken at any meeting for approval of (i) a contract or transaction in which a director has a direct or indirect financial interest, pursuant to the Corporations Code of Nevada, (ii) an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, pursuant to  such Code, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation, pursuant to such Code, (iv) a voluntary dissolution of the corporation, pursuant to such Code, or (v) a distribution in dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, pursuant to such Code, the notice shall also state the general nature of such proposal.


Section 2.5  MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE.  Notice of any meeting of shareholders shall be given either personally or by first class mail or telegraphic or other written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the address of such shareholder appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the shareholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice.  If no such address appears on the corporation’s books or is given, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent by mail or telegram to the corporation’s principal executive office, or if published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where this office is located.  Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by telegram or other means of written communication.


If any notice addressed to a shareholder at the address of such shareholder appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice to the shareholder at such address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if the same shall be available to the shareholder upon written demand of the shareholder at the principal executive office of the corporation for a period of one (1) year from the date of the giving of such notice.

ii

An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any shareholder’s meeting shall be executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any transfer agent of the corporation giving such notice, and shall be filed and maintained in the minute book of the corporation.


Section 2.6  QUORUM.  The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.


Section 2.7  ADJOURNED MEETING AND NOTICE THEREOF.  Any shareholders’ meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at such meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at such meeting, except as provided in Section 2.6 of this Article II.


When any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at a meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, or unless the adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days from the date set for the original meeting, in which case the board of directors shall set a new record date.  Notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of this Article II.  At any adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.


Section 2.8  VOTING.  The shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of this Article II, subject to the provisions of the Corporations Code of Nevada (relating to voting shares held by a fiduciary, in the name of a corporation or in joint ownership).  Such vote may be by voice vote or by ballot; provided, however, that all elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand by a shareholder at any election and before the voting begins.  Any shareholder entitled to vote on any matter (other than elections of directors) may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, but, if the shareholder fails to specify the number of shares such shareholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the shareholder’s approving vote is with respect to all shares such shareholder is entitled to vote.  Except as provided in Section 2.6 of this Article II, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum) shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number of voting by classes is required by the Corporations Code of Nevada or the Articles of Incorporation.

iii

At a shareholders’ meeting involving the election of directors, no shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for any candidate a number of votes greater than the number of votes which such shareholder normally is entitled to cast) unless such candidate or candidates’ names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and a shareholder has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of the shareholder’s intention to cumulate votes.  If any shareholder has given such notice, then every shareholder entitled to vote may cumulate such shareholder’s votes for candidates in nomination and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which such shareholder’s shares are normally entitled, or distribute the shareholder’s votes on the same principle among any or all of the candidates, as the shareholder thinks fit.  The candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative vote up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be elected.  Votes against a director and votes withheld shall have no legal effect.


Section 2.9  WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT SHAREHOLDERS.  The transactions at any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had 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 person entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof.  The waiver of notice, consent to the holding of the meeting or approval of the minutes thereof need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any annual or special meeting of shareholders, except that if action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters specified in the second paragraph of Section 2.4 of this Article II, the waiver of notice, consent to the holding of the meeting or approval of the meeting or approval of the minutes thereof shall state the general nature of such proposal.  All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.


Attendance of a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of and presence at such meeting, except when the person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a wavier of any right to object to the consideration of matters required by the Corporations Code of Nevada to be included in the notice by which were not included in the notice, if such objection is expressly made at the meeting.


iv

Section 2.10  SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING.  Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.  In the case of election of directors, such consent shall be effective only if signed by the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote for the election of directors; provided, however, that a director may be elected at any time to fill a vacancy not filled by the directors by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote for the election of directors.  All such consents shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records.  Any shareholder giving a written consent, or the shareholder’s proxy holders, or a transferee of the shares or a personal representative of the shareholder or their respective proxy holders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by the secretary of the corporation prior to the time that written consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the secretary.


If the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have not been solicited in writing, and if the unanimous written consent of all such shareholders shall not have been received, the secretary shall give prompt notice of the corporate action approved by the shareholders without a meeting.  Such notice shall be given in the manner specified in Section 2.5 of this Article II.  In the case of approval of (i) contracts or transactions in which a director has a direct or indirect financial interest, pursuant to the Corporations Code of Nevada, (ii) indemnification of agents of the corporation, pursuant to such Code, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation, pursuant to such Code, and (iv) a distribution in dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, pursuant to the Code, such notice shall be given at least ten (10) days before the consummation of any such action authorized by any such approval.


Section 2.11  RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDER NOTICE, VOTING, AND GIVING CONSENTS.  For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote or entitled to give consent to corporate action without a meeting, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of any such meeting nor more than sixty (60) days prior to such action without a meeting, and in such case only shareholders at the close of business on the record date so fixed are entitled to notice and to vote or to give consents, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date fixed as aforesaid, except as otherwise provided in the Corporations Code of Nevada.


If the board of directors does not so fix a record date:


(a)

The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.


(b)

The record date for determining shareholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, (i) when no prior action by the board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given, or (ii) when prior action of the board has been taken, shall be the close of business on the day on which the board adopts the resolution relating thereto, or the sixtieth (60th) day prior to the date of such other action, whichever is later.


vSection 2.12  PROXIES.  Every person entitled to vote for directors or on any other matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the secretary of the corporation.  A proxy shall be deemed signed if the shareholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney in fact.  A validly executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the person executing it, prior to the vote pursuant thereto, by a writing stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by the person executing the prior proxy and presented to the meeting, or as to any meeting by attendance at such meeting and voting in person by the person executing the proxy; or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of such proxy is received by the corporation before the vote pursuant thereto is counted; provided, however, that no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date of such proxy, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.  The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of the Corporations Code of Nevada.


Section 2.13  INSPECTORS OF ELECTION.  Before any meeting of shareholders, the board of directors may appoint any persons other than nominees for office to act as inspectors of election at the meeting or its adjournment.  If no inspectors of election are so appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election at the meeting.  The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3).  If inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more shareholders or proxies, the holders of a majority of shares or their proxies present at the meeting shall determine whether one (1) or three (3) inspectors are to be appointed.  If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the chairman of the meeting may, and upon the request of any shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy shall, appoint a person to fill such vacancy.


The duties of these inspectors shall be as follows:


(a)

Determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies;


(b)

Receive votes, ballots or consents;


(c)

Hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote;


(d)

Count and tabulate all votes or consents;


(e)

Determine when the polls shall close;


(f)

Determine the result; and


(g)

Do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.

ARTICLE VI


INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES


AND OTHER AGENTS


xiii

Section 6.1  INDEMNIFICATION – THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS.  The corporation shall indemnify any person (the “Indemnitee”) who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceedings (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or any subsidiary of the corporation, and the corporation may indemnify a person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceedings (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an employee or other agent of the corporation (the “Indemnitee Agent”) by reason of any action or inaction on the part of the Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent while an officer, director or agent or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including subject to Section 6.19, attorneys’ fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI or under Nevada law), judgments, fines, settlements (if such settlement is approved in advance by the corporation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent in connection with such proceeding if Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceedings, if Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s or Indemnitee Agent’s conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal proceedings, would not create a presumption that Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s or Indemnitee Agent’s conduct was unlawful.


Section 6.2  INDEMNIFICATION – PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION.  The corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee and may indemnify Indemnitee Agent if Indemnitee, or Indemnitee Agent, as the case may be, was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation or any subsidiary of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the corporation, or any subsidiary of the corporation, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent while an officer, director or agent or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including subject to Section 6.19, attorneys’ fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI or under Nevada law) and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement, in each case to the extent actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter to which Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent) shall have been adjudged to have been liable to the corporation in the performance of Indemnitee’s or Indemnitee Agent’s duty to the corporation and its shareholders, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent) is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses and then only to the extent that the court shall determine.


xiv

Section 6.3  SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE ON MERITS.  To the extent that Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent) without limitation has been successful on the merits in defense of any proceedings referred to in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent) in connection therewith.


Section 6.4  CERTAIN TERMS DEFINED.  For purposes of this Article VI, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, and references to “proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.  References to “corporation” include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving corporation, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or other agent of such a constituent corporation or who, being or having been such a director, officer, employee or other agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VI with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would if he or she had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity.


Section 6.5  ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES.  The corporation shall advance all expenses incurred by Indemnitee and may advance all or any expenses incurred by Indemnitee Agent in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement (excluding amounts actually paid in settlement of any action, suit or proceeding) or appeal of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding referenced in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof.  Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall be determined ultimately that Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized hereby.  The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the corporation (i) to Indemnitee within twenty (20) days following delivery of a written request therefore by Indemnitee to the corporation; and (ii) to Indemnitee Agent within twenty (20) days following the later of a written request therefore by Indemnitee Agent to the corporation and determination by the corporation to advance expenses to Indemnitee Agent pursuant to the corporation’s discretionary authority hereunder.


Section 6.6  NOTICE OF CLAIM.  Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to his or her right to be indemnified under this Article VI, and Indemnitee Agent shall, as a condition precedent to his or her ability to be indemnified under this Article VI, give the corporation notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent, as the case may be, for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Article VI.  Notice to the corporation shall be directed to the secretary of the corporation at the principal business office of the corporation (or such other address as the corporation shall designate in writing to Indemnitee).  In addition, Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent shall give the corporation such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s or Indemnitee Agent’s power.


xv

Section 6.7  ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS.  Any indemnification provided for in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 or 6.3 shall be made no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee.  If a claim or request under this Article VI, under any statute, or under any provision of the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation providing for indemnification is not paid by the corporation, or on its behalf, within sixty (60) days after written request for payment thereof has been received by the corporation, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or requests, and subject to Section 6.19, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of bringing such action.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the corporation to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation, and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of expenses pursuant to Section 6.5 unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by court order or judgment for which no further right of appeal exists.  The parties hereto intend that if the corporation contests Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification shall be a decision for the court, and no presumption regarding whether the applicable standard has been met will arise based on any determination or lack of determination of such by the corporation (including its board or any subgroup thereof, independent legal counsel or its shareholders).  The board of directors may, in its discretion, provide by resolution for similar or identical enforcement rights for any Indemnitee Agent.


Section 6.8  ASSUMPTION OF DEFENSE.  In the event the corporation shall be obligated to pay the expenses of any proceeding against the Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent), the corporation, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding with counsel approved by Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent) of written notice of its election so to do.  After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent) and the retention of such counsel by the corporation, the corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent) under this Article VI for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent) with respect to the same proceeding, in any of which events then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s (or Indemnitee Agent’s) counsel shall be at the expense of the corporation.  At all times, Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent) shall have the right to employ other counsel in any such proceeding at Indemnitee’s (or Indemnitee Agent’s) expense.


Section 6.9  APPROVAL OF EXPENSES.  No expenses for which indemnity shall be sought under this Article VI, other than those in respect of judgments and verdicts actually rendered, shall be incurred without the prior consent of the corporation, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.


Section 6.10  SUBROGATION.  In the event of payment under this Article VI, the corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee (or Indemnitee Agent), who shall do all things that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.


xvi

Section 6.11  EXCEPTIONS.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to this Article VI:


(a)

Excluded Acts.  To indemnify Indemnitee (i) as to circumstances in which indemnity is expressly prohibited pursuant to Nevada law, or (ii) for any acts or omissions or transactions from which a director may not be relieved of liability pursuant to Nevada law; or


(b)

Claims Initiated by Indemnitee.  To indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Article VI or any other statute or law or as otherwise required under the Corporations Code of Nevada, but such indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the corporation in specific cases if the board of directors has approved the initiation of bringing of such suit; or


(c)

Lack of Good Faith.  To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Article VI, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous; or


(d)

Insured Claims.  To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance maintained by the corporation; or


(e)

Claims Under Section 16(b).  To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.


Section 6.12  PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Article VI to indemnification by the corporation for some or a portion of the expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually or reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled.


xvii

Section 6.13  COVERAGE.  This Article VI shall, to the extent permitted by law, apply to acts or omissions of (i) Indemnitee which occurred prior to the adoption of this Article VI if Indemnitee was a director or officer of the corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, at the time such act or omission occurred; and (ii) Indemnitee Agent which occurred prior to the adoption of this Article VI if Indemnitee Agent was an employee or other agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the time such act or omission occurred.  All rights to indemnification under this Article VI shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the corporation and the Indemnitee in which the corporation hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws or by statute.  Any repeal of modification of these Bylaws, the Corporations Code of Nevada or any other applicable law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing under this Article VI.  The provisions of this Article VI shall continue as to Indemnitee and Indemnitee Agent for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified capacity even though the Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the time of any action, suit or other covered proceeding.  This Article VI shall be binding upon the corporation and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee Agent and Indemnitee’s and Indemnitee Agent’s estate, heirs, legal representatives and assigns.


Section 6.14  NON-EXCLUSIVITY.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to diminish or otherwise restrict any rights to which Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent may be entitled under the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or under the laws of the State of Nevada.


Section 6.15  SEVERABILITY.  Nothing in this Article VI is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the corporation to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law.  If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated.


Section 6.16  MUTUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT.  Both the corporation and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the corporation from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Article VI or otherwise.  Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the corporation has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the corporation’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.


xviii

Section 6.17  OFFICER AND DIRECTOR LIABILITY INSURANCE.  The corporation shall, from time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the corporation to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the officers and directors of the corporation with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the corporation’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Article VI.  Among other considerations, the corporation will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the corporation shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the corporation determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary or parent of the corporation.


Section 6.18  NOTICE TO INSURERS.  If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to Section 6.6 hereof, the corporation has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the corporation shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.  The corporation shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.


Section 6.19  ATTORNEYS’ FEES.  In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under this Article VI to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action, unless as a part of such action, the court of competent jurisdiction determines that the action was not instituted in good faith or was frivolous.  In the event of an action instituted by or in the name of the corporation under this Article VI, or to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Article VI, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Indemnitee in defense of such action (including with respect to Indemnitee’s counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), unless as a part of such action the court determines that Indemnitee’s defenses to such action were not made in good faith or were frivolous.  The board of directors may, in its discretion, provide by resolution for payment of such attorneys’ fees to any Indemnitee Agent.


Section 6.20  NOTICE.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Article VI shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted for by the addressee, on the date of such receipt, or (ii) if mailed by domestic certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date postmarked.

xx

Section 7.5  ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS.  The annual report to shareholders referred to in the Corporations Code of Nevada is expressly dispensed with, but nothing herein shall be interpreted as prohibiting the board of directors from issuing annual or other periodic reports to the shareholders of the corporation as they deem appropriate.

Section 8.1  RECORD DATE FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN NOTICE AND VOTING.  For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful action (other than action by shareholders by written consent without a meeting), the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to any such action, an in such case only shareholders of record on the date so fixed are entitled to receive the dividend, distribution or allotment of rights or to exercise the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date fixed as aforesaid, except as otherwise provided in the Corporations Code of Nevada.


If the board of directors does not so fix a record date, the record date for determining shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board adopts the resolution relating thereto, or the sixtieth (60th) day prior to the date of such action, whichever is later.
