3. PLACE OF MEETING.

The directors may designate any place, either within or without the State unless otherwise prescribed by statute, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the directors.  A waiver of notice signed by all stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting may designate any place, either within or without the State unless otherwise prescribed by statute, as the place of holding 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.

5. CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS OR FIXING OF RECORD DATE.

For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other proper purpose, the 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, thirty days; provided, however, that for so long as any class of the corporation's capital stock is listed on an exchange or included for quotation on an interdealer quotation system, the directors of the corporation shall not authorize closing of the stock transfer books for any purpose. If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, such date in any case to be not more than sixty days and, in case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than ten days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of stockholders is to be taken. If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or stockholders 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 directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of stockholders.

If less than said number 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 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 enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

ARTICLE III - BOARD OF DIRECTORS

1. GENERAL POWERS.

The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by its board of directors.

Directors shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the board of directors.  Directors shall be elected for a full term of three years; provided, however, that commencing with the board of directors elected at the 2008 annual meeting, the terms of the Class I and Class II directors shall be shortened, to the 2009 and 2010 annual meetings, respectively. The terms of the Class III directors elected at 2008 annual meeting shall be for a full three year term, expiring at the 2011 annual meeting.  The term of office of each person elected as a director will continue until the designated annual meeting for the class of director or until a successor has been elected and qualified, or until the director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.  If any director resigns, dies or is otherwise unable to serve out his or her term, or if the board increases the number of directors, the board may fill any vacancy by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum exists. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor. Vacancies occurring by reason of the removal of directors without cause may only be filled by vote of the stockholders.  Any reduction of the authorized number of directors may not remove any director prior to the expiration of that director’s term of office, unless, at the time of such decrease, there shall be vacancies on the Board that are being eliminated by such reduction.  With the consent of the serving director, the corporation may assign such serving director to any other Class of directors.

If notice be given by telegram, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when the telegram is delivered to the telegraph company. The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

At any meeting of the directors a majority shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but if less than said number is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of the directors at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to the secretary of the corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.

ARTICLE XII - INDEMNIFICATION

1. INDEMNIFICATION OF THIRD PARTY ACTIONS.

The corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had not reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

2. INDEMNIFICATION - CORPORATE ACTIONS.

The corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court considers proper.

3. DETERMINATION.

To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 and 2 of this Article XII, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees) which he actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Any other indemnification under Section 1 and 2 of this Article XII not ordered by a court shall be made by the corporation upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2 hereof. Such determination shall be made either by (1) the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (2) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders by a majority vote of a quorum of stockholders at any meeting duly called for such purpose.

 
 

 
 
4. GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article may not be construed to be exclusive of any of the rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to an action in his official capacity and as to an action in another capacity while holding office.

5. ADVANCES.

Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent that he shall repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized by this Article.

6. SCOPE OF INDEMNIFICATION.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized by this Article shall apply to all present and future directors, officers, employees and agents of the corporation and shall continue as to such persons who cease to be directors, officers, employees, or agents of the corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of all such persons and shall be in addition to all other indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by law.

7. INSURANCE.

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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against any such liability under the provision of this Article X11 or the laws of the State of Nevada, as the same may hereafter be amended or modified.
