The principal office of the Corporation shall be located in Anchorage, State of Alaska. The Corporation may have such other offices, either within or without the State of Alaska, as the Board of Directors may designate or as the business of the Corporation may require from time to time.

 

The registered office of the Corporation required by the Alaska Business Corporation Act to be maintained in the State of Alaska may be, but need not be, identical with the principal office in the State of Alaska, and the address of the registered office may be changed from time to time by the Board of Directors.

 

ARTICLE II
SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETINGS

 

Section 1.  Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the Shareholders shall be held in the month of July, of each year, for the purpose of electing Directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. If the election of Directors shall not be held on the day designated for the annual meeting of the Shareholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the Shareholders as soon thereafter as it conveniently may be held.

 

(a)                                  Meetings of the Shareholders shall be presided over by the President or by any officer or Director or person selected at any time by the President to act as Chairman, or if she is not present or available or makes no selection, then by the Chairman of the Board of Directors. If neither the President nor the Chairman of the Board of Directors is present and no selection has been made, a Chairman should be chosen by a majority in interest of the Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereat.

 

(b)                                 The Secretary of the meeting shall be the Secretary of the Corporation or an Assistant Secretary, or if none of such officers is present, any person appointed by the Chairman of the meeting.

 

Section 2.  Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Shareholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by the President or by the Board of Directors, and shall be called by the President at the request of the holders of not less than one-tenth of all the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

Section 3.  Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Alaska, as the place of meeting called by the Board of Directors. A waiver of notice signed by all Shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting may designate any place, either within or without the State of Alaska, as the place for the holding of such meeting. If no designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation in the State of Alaska.

 

Section 4.  Notice of Meeting. 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

 

5



 

called, shall be delivered not less than twenty (20) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President, or the Secretary, or the persons calling the meeting, to each Shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, the notice is considered delivered when deposited with postage prepaid in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at the address of the shareholder as it appears on the stock transfer book of the corporation, or, if the shareholder has filed with the secretary of the corporation a written request that notice be mailed to a different address, addressed to the shareholder at the new address.

 

Section 5. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of 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 Shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, or in order to make a determination of Shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed, in any case, seventy (70) days. If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining Shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least twenty (20) days immediately preceding such meeting.

 

Instead of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix a date as the record date for any such determination of Shareholders. This record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days, and in case of a meeting of Shareholders not less than twenty (20) days, prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of Shareholders is to be taken. If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders, or Shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring the dividend is adopted is, as the case may be, the record date for the determination of Shareholders. When a determination of Shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of Shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof except where the determination has been made through the closing of the stock transfer books and the stated period of closing has expired.

 

Section 6. Voting Lists. At least twenty (20) days before each meeting of the shareholders, the officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make a complete list of the Shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each. The list shall be kept on file at the registered office of the corporation and is subject to inspection by a shareholder or the agent or attorney of a shareholder at any time during the usual business hours for a period of twenty (20) days before the meeting. Such list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any Shareholder during the whole time of the meeting.

 

Section 7. Quorum. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Shareholders, but in no event may a quorum consist of less than 1/3 of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter is the act of the shareholders unless the vote of

 

6



 

a greater number or voting by class is required by the articles of incorporation, bylaws or the Alaska Corporations Code.

 

The Shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken other than adjournment as approved by at least a majority of shares required to constitute a quorum.

 

If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. 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.

 

Section 8. Proxies. At all meetings of Shareholders, a Shareholder may vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the Shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. A proxy continues in full force and effect until revoked by the person executing it, however, no proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless such proxy qualifies as an irrevocable proxy as defined within AS 10.06.4189(e).

 

Section 9. Voting of Shares. An outstanding share, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders, except as may be otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation.

 

Section 10. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders.

 

(a)                                  Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provisions, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine.

 

(b)                                 Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name.

 

(c)                                  Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer into his name if authority to transfer the shares is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.

 

(d)                                 A Shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

 

(e)                                  Neither treasury shares, nor shares of its own stock held by the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity, nor shares held by another corporation if a majority of the shares entitled to

 

7



 

vote for the election of directors of the other corporation is held by the Corporation, may be voted at a meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares.

 

Section 11. Informal Action by Shareholders. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the Shareholders, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the Shareholders, may be taken without a meeting by written consent, identical in content setting out the action taken, signed by all of the Shareholders entitled to vote on the action.

ARTICLE V
SALE OF STOCK

 

No Stockholder of this Corporation shall sell his stock either in whole or in part except in accordance with the terms, conditions and options as follows:

 

(a)                                  In the event any Stockholder, his heirs, personal representative, or assigns shall desire to sell his stock in the Corporation, or any part thereof, he shall give written notice of such desire to the Corporation through its duly authorized President, stating the number of shares he desires to sell and the minimum price at which he proposes, or is willing to sell said stock. The Corporation, if it desires to exercise its option to purchase said shares, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the offer or proposal of sale shall notify, the selling Stockholder in writing of its desire to exercise said option, stating that it desires to purchase either all or a stated portion of such stock which it is entitled to purchase under option hereof; and within fifteen (15) days thereafter it shall tender unto the selling Stockholder the purchase price thereof, or make such arrangements for deferred or time payment as the selling Stockholder shall require.

 

12



 

(b)                                 In the event the Corporation, entitled to purchase such stock, shall elect not to exercise its option, shall elect to exercise its option in part only, or shall fail to make election in the thirty (30) days above provided, then any Stockholder, his heirs, personal representative, or assigns who shall desire to sell his stock shall give to each of the other Stockholders of such Corporation, written notice of his desire to sell his stock, stating the number of shares he desires to sell and the minimum price at which he proposes or is willing to sell said stock. The other Stockholders, if they desire to exercise their options to purchase said shares, shall notify the selling Stockholder in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the offer or proposal of sale, that they desire to exercise said options, stating that they desire to purchase either all or stated portions of such stock as they are entitled to purchase under these options. At the end of thirty (30) days from the time the last Stockholder is entitled to receive notice of such offer, the Stockholder desiring to sell said stock shall notify in writing those Stockholders who elected to exercise such option; and those who did duly exercise such option shall have the right to purchase such portion or amount of stock offered for sale as their respective stock ownership in the Corporation bears to the total outstanding capital stock of the Corporation held by all Shareholders who did duly exercise such option. Each Stockholder who exercises the above-described option shall tender unto the selling Stockholder, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, the purchase price of his proportionate number of shares or make such arrangements for deferred or time payments as the selling Stockholder shall require.

 

If any Stockholder exercising such option fails to tender his purchase price within the required time, he shall be deemed to have waived his option and those Stockholders who properly tender their purchase price shall have a reasonable amount of time to purchase said defaulting Shareholder’s portion on a pro rata basis.

 

(c)                                  The option and rights above granted may be exercised as to all or any part of the stock proposed or offered to be sold by the selling Stockholder and shall not be construed as requiring the buying Stockholder to buy all of the offered stock.

 

(d)                                 All such stock of the selling Stockholder as shall not be purchased by the Corporation or other Stockholders in accordance with the options above provided, may thereafter be sold to any other person, firm or Corporation provided the same is sold within six (6) months after the date of termination of said options, and provided further it shall not be sold at a price less than has been quoted to the Corporation or remaining Stockholders or

 

13



 

on terms less onerous than those at which said stock was offered to the Stockholders. Any of the offered stock not bought by the Corporation, or by remaining Stockholders under the options provided, and not sold by the selling Stockholder to any other person, firm or Corporation on the conditions and within the time above provided, may not thereafter be sold except by a re-offer to the Corporation or remaining Stockholders for their acceptance or rejection in accordance with the options above granted them.

 

ARTICLE VI

Without limitation on the foregoing, any such person shall be deemed to have exercised or used such degree of care and skill if he took or omitted to take such action in reliance in good faith upon advice of counsel for the Corporation, or the books of account or other records of the Corporation, or reports or information made or furnished to the Corporation by any officials, accountants, engineers, agents or employees of the Corporation, or by an independent Certified Public Accountant or auditor, engineer, appraiser, or other expert employed by the Corporation and selected with reasonable care by the Board of Directors, by any such committee or by an authorized officer of the Corporation.
