Each such proxy shall be valid until its expiration or revocation in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. A proxy may be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient to support an irrevocable power. Subject to the above, any proxy may be revoked if an instrument or transmission revoking it or a properly created proxy bearing a later date is filed with or transmitted to the Secretary or another person appointed by the Corporation to count the votes of stockholders and determine the validity of proxies and ballots, or, in the case of a meeting of stockholders, the stockholder revokes the proxy by attending the meeting and voting the stockholder’s shares in person, in which case, any vote cast by the person or persons designated by the stockholder to act as a proxy or proxies must be disregarded by the Corporation when the votes are counted.

Section 2.10 Waiver of Notice. Notice of any annual or special meeting may be waived either before, at or after such meeting in writing signed or by transmission of an electronic record by the person or persons entitled to the notice.

In the case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of directors, the number of directors in each class shall be apportioned as nearly equal as possible. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders following the annual meeting at which such director was elected; provided, however, that each director initially appointed to Class I shall serve for an initial term expiring at the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of this provision; each director initially appointed to Class II shall serve for the initial term expiring at the Corporation’s second annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of this provision; and each director initially appointed to Class III shall serve for an initial term expiring at the Corporation’s third annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of this provision; provided further, that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of a successor and be subject to such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Section 3.08 Quorum and Voting. A majority of the directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors unless these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation or the NRS require a greater number. 

Section 3.09 Vacancies. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation, (a) the Board of Directors may increase the authorized number of Directors and (b) any newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of Directors and vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors for any cause, may be (i) filled by the affirmative votes of a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors, although less than a quorum, (ii) filled by a sole remaining Director or (iii) elected by a plurality of the votes cast at an annual or special meeting of the Shareholders. A Director so elected shall be elected to hold office until the expiration of the term of office of the Director whom he or she has replaced or until a successor is elected and qualified, or until the Director’s earlier death, resignation or removal, subject in all cases to any applicable requirements in the Articles of Incorporation.

Section 3.10 Removal. Any director may be removed from office at any meeting of the stockholders either with or without cause by the vote of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, excluding stock entitled to vote only upon the happening of a fact or event unless such fact or event shall have occurred. If the entire Board of Directors or any one or more directors be so removed, new directors may be elected at the same meeting.

Section 3.11 Committees of Directors. The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the directors then in office, designate one or more committees, each to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation, which, to the extent provided in the resolution and subject to applicable law, may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of any member of such committee or committees, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined by the resolution adopted by the directors. The committees shall keep regular minutes of their proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required.

Section 3.12 Written Action. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, all directors or committee members consent thereto in writing. The written consent may be signed manually or electronically (or by any other means then permitted under the NRS), and may be so signed in counterparts, including, without limitation, facsimile or email counterparts, and the written consent shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.

Section 3.13 Compensation. Unless otherwise restricted by the articles of incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of the directors.  The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or paid a stated salary or paid other compensation as director.  No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.  Members of special or standing committees may be allowed compensation for attending committee meetings.  If the Board of Directors establishes the compensation of directors pursuant to this Section 3.13, such compensation is presumed to be fair to the Corporation unless proven unfair by a preponderance of the evidence.
