ARTICLE II
SHAREHOLDERS
Section 2.01 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held at such time and at such date between 90 and 180 days after the end of the corporation's fiscal year as the board of directors may designate and provided for in the notice of the meeting. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day designated herein for the annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the board of directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the stockholders as soon thereafter as may be convenient.
Section 2.02 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the chairman of the board, the president, or by the board of directors, or in their absence or disability, by any vice president, and shall be called by the president or, in his absence or disability, by any vice president or by the secretary on the written request of the holders of not less than one-tenth of all the shares entitled to vote at the meeting, such written request to state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and to be delivered to the president or secretary. In case of failure to call such meeting within 90 days after such request, the stockholder or stockholders may call the same.
Section 2.03 Place of Meetings. The board of directors may designate any place, either within or without the state of incorporation, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the board of 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 of incorporation, as the place for the holding of such meeting. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be at the principal office of the corporation.
Section 2.04 Notice of Meetings. The secretary or assistant secretary, if any, shall cause notice of the time, place, and purpose or purposes of all meetings of the stockholders (whether annual or special), to be mailed at least ten days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote.
5
Section 2.05 Waiver of Notice. Any stockholder may waive notice of any meeting of stockholders (however called or noticed, whether or not called or noticed and whether before, during, or after the meeting), signing a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. Attendance at a meeting, in person or by proxy, shall constitute waiver of all defects of notice regardless of whether waiver, consent, or approval is signed or any objections are made, unless attendance is solely for the purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. All such waivers, consents, or approvals shall be made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
Section 2.06 Fixing 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 to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or stockholder entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or entitled to exercise any rights in respect to any change, conversion, or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of 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 70 days and, in case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than 10 days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of stockholders is to be taken. If no record date is fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting, the day preceding the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed shall be the record date. For any other purpose, the record date shall be the close of business on the date on which the resolution of the board of directors pertaining thereto is adopted. When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof. Failure to comply with this section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.07 Voting Lists. The officers of the corporation shall cause to be prepared from the stock ledger, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. The original stock ledger shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this section, or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.08 Quorum. Stock representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the articles of incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. 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 noticed. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 2.09 Vote Required. When a quorum is present at a meeting, the vote of the holders of stock having a majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide all questions brought before such meeting, unless a question is one on which, by express provision of the statutes of the state of Utah or of the articles of incorporation, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.
Section 2.10 Voting of Stock. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, each stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the voting capital stock held by such stockholder, subject to the modification of such voting rights of any class or classes of the corporation's capital stock by the articles of incorporation.
Section 2.11 Proxies. At each meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder entitled to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy; provided, however, that the right to vote by proxy shall exist only in case the instrument authorizing such proxy to act shall have been executed in writing by the registered holder or holders of such stock, as the case may be, as shown on the stock ledger of the corporation or by his attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing. Such instrument authorizing a proxy to act shall be delivered at the beginning of such meeting to the secretary of the corporation or to such other officer or person who may, in the absence of the secretary, be acting as secretary of the meeting. In the event that any such instrument shall designate two or more persons to act as proxy, a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or if only one be present, that one shall (unless the instrument shall otherwise provide) have all of the powers conferred by the instrument on all persons so designated. Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the stock so held and the persons whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless the transfer by the pledgor in the books and records of the corporation shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent such stock and vote thereon. No proxy shall be voted or acted on after 11 months from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
Section 2.12 Written Consent to Action by Stockholders. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.
ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS
Section 3.01 Number, Term, and Qualifications. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole board shall be not less than three nor more than nine, unless the corporation has fewer than three shareholders, in which case the number of directors may be equal to the number of shareholders. Within the limits above specified, the number of directors shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors or by the stockholders at the annual meeting of the stockholders or a special meeting called for such purpose, except as provided in section 3.02 of this article, and each director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified. Directors need not be residents of the state of incorporation or stockholders of the corporation.
6
Section 3.02 Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by statute.
Section 3.03 General Powers. The business of the corporation shall be managed under the direction of its board of directors which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute, by the articles of incorporation, or by these bylaws, directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
Section 3.04 Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the board of directors shall be held without other notice than this bylaw immediately following, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of stockholders.

Section 3.05 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the chairman of the board, president, vice president, or any two directors. The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the board of directors may fix any place, either within or without the state of incorporation, as the place for holding any special meeting of the board of directors called by them.
Section 3.06 Meetings by Telephone Conference Call. Members of the board of directors may participate in a meeting of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors by means of conference telephone or similar communication equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this section shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
Section 3.07 Notice. Notice of any special meeting shall be given at least five days prior thereto by written notice delivered personally or mailed to each director at his regular business address or residence, or by telegram. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice be given by telegram, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when the telegram is delivered to the telegraph company. Any director may waive notice of any meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting solely for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Section 3.08 Quorum. The presence of a majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors, but if less than a majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.
Section 3.09 Manner of Acting. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the act 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, and individual directors shall have no power as such.
7
Section 3.10 Compensation. By resolution of the board of 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 a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
Section 3.11 Presumption of Assent. A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of the board of 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, 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 or certified 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.
Section 3.12 Resignations. A director may resign at any time by delivering a written resignation to either the president, a vice president, the secretary, or assistant secretary, if any. The resignation shall become effective on its acceptance by the board of directors; provided, that if the board has not acted thereon within ten days from the date presented, the resignation shall be deemed accepted.
Section 3.13 Written Consent to Action by Directors. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the directors of the corporation or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the directors or of a committee, may be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the directors, or all of the members of the committee, as the case may be. Such consent shall have the same legal effect as a unanimous vote of all the directors or members of the committee.
Section 3.14 Removal. At a meeting expressly called for that purpose, one or more directors may be removed by a vote of a majority of the shares of outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors.

In case any officer who signed, or whose facsimile signature has been used on any such bond or debenture, should cease to be an officer of the corporation for any reason before the same has been delivered by the corporation, such bond or debenture may nevertheless be adopted by the corporation and issued and delivered as through the person who signed it or whose facsimile signature has been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer.

Except as provided by law, the corporation and transfer agents and registrars, if any, shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any stock as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any legal, equitable, or other claim to or interest in such stock on the part of any other person whether or not it or they shall have express or other notice thereof.

INDEMNIFICATION, INSURANCE, AND
OFFICER AND DIRECTOR CONTRACTS
Section 8.01 Indemnification: Third Party Actions. The corporation shall 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 proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except 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 attorneys' 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 interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does 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 or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 8.02 Indemnification: Corporate Actions. The corporation shall 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 attorneys' 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 interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such a person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine on 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 deems proper.
15
Section 8.03 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 sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he must be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense. Any indemnification under sections 8.01 or 8.02, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case on 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 sections 8.01 or 8.02. The determination shall be made either (1) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit, or proceeding; (2) by independent legal counsel on 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.
Section 8.04 Advances. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding subject to the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee, or agent to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation and the provision of any other information or undertakings required by law.
Section 8.05 Scope of Indemnification. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by the corporation pursuant to sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.04:
(a) does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses, including corporate personnel other than directors or officers, may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office; and
(b) continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.
Section 8.06 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 his capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.
Section 8.07 Officer and Director Contracts. No contract or other transaction between the corporation and any other firm or corporation shall be affected by the fact that a director or officer of the corporation has an interest in, or is a director or officer of the corporation or any such other corporation. Any officer or director, individually or with others, may be a party to, or may have an interest in, any transaction of the corporation or any transaction in which the corporation is a party or has an interest. Each person who is now or may become an officer or director of the corporation is hereby relieved from liability that he might otherwise obtain in the event such officer or director contracts with the corporation for the benefit of himself or any firm or other corporation in which he may have an interest; provided, such officer or director acts in good faith.
