Except as otherwise expressly required by statute, the vote on any question need not be by written ballot.

Section 4.10 Voting List of Shareholders. The Officer who shall have charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least five days before every meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and by voting group (and within each voting group by class or series of shares) and showing the address and the number of shares registered in the name of each such shareholder. Subject to any limitation contained in Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, such list shall be open to the examination of any shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting, or such shareholder’s agent or attorney, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least five days prior to and continuing through the meeting, at the principal office of the Corporation.

  (i) by reason of his or her being or having been a director, officer or employee of this Corporation or such other corporation or

 

10


  (ii) by reason of any past or future action taken or not taken by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not he or she continues to be such at the time such liability or expense is incurred,

provided that such person is wholly successful with respect thereto or acted in good faith and, when acting in his or her official capacity of the Corporation, in what he or she reasonably believed was the Corporation’s best interest or, when acting in all other cases, in what he or she reasonably believed was not opposed to the Corporation’s best interest and, in addition, in any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. A director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose the director reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan meets the requirement of this section 7.1. As used herein, “claim, action, suit or proceeding” shall include any claim, action, suit or proceeding (whether brought by or in the right of this Corporation or such other corporation or otherwise), civil, criminal administrative or investigative, whether actual or threatened or in connection with an appeal relating thereto.

The terms “liability” and “expense” shall include, but shall not be limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, amounts of judgments, fines or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of a director, officer or employee, but shall not in any event include any liability or expense on account of profits realized by him or her in the purchase or sale of securities of the Corporation in violation of the law. The termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction or upon a plea of guilty or on nolo contedere or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that a director, officer or employee did not meet the standard of conduct set forth in this section 7.1.

Any such director, officer or employee who has been wholly successful with respect to any such claim, action, and suit or preceding shall be entitled to indemnification as a matter of right. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any indemnification hereunder shall be found that the director, officer or employee has met the standard of conduct set forth in this section 7.1 by:

 

  (i) the Board of Directors acting by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such claim, action, suit or proceeding; or

 

  (ii) if a quorum cannot be obtained under subsection (i), by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which designation directors who are parties may participate), consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties; or

 

  (iii) by written opinion of independent legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors or its committee in the manner prescribed in subsection (i) or (ii) or, if such is impossible, selected by a majority vote of the full Board of Directors; or

 

  (iv) by the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of directors who are at the time parties may not be voted in such determination.

 

11


Any such director, officer or employee may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the claim, action, suit or proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction, which court may order indemnification as provided by law.

Authorization of indemnification and evaluation of reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible, except that if such determination is made by independent legal counsel. Authorization of indemnification and evaluation of expenses shall be made by those show elected of the independent counsel.

If several claims, issues or matters of action are involved, any such person may be entitled to indemnification as to some matters even though he or she is not entitled as to other matters.

The Corporation may advance expenses to or, where appropriate and at its expense, undertake the defense of any such director, officer or employee upon receipt or a written affirmation of such person of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct set forth in this section 7.1 and unlimited general written undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such expenses if it should ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification hereunder and upon a determination that the facts then known would not preclude indemnification.

The provisions of this section 7.1 shall be applicable to claims, actions, suits or proceedings made or commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from acts or omissions to act during, before or after the adoption hereof.

The rights of indemnification provided hereunder shall be in addition to any rights to which any person concerned may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of any such person.

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this section 7.1 or otherwise.

ARTICLE 8
