Section 1.2   Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held on the date and at the time fixed, from time to time, by the board of directors. The annual meeting shall be for the purpose of electing a board of directors and transacting such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 1.3   Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the articles of incorporation, may be called by the president  and shall be called by the president or secretary if requested in writing by the holders of not less than one-tenth (1/10) of all the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.

Section 1.4   Notices. Written notice stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, except as otherwise required by statute or the articles of incorporation, either personally, by mail or by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the official government mail of the United States or any other country, postage prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the stock records of the Corporation. If given personally or otherwise than by mail, such notice shall be deemed to be given when either handed to the stockholder or delivered to the stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.

Section 1.5   Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting, or at any adjournment of a meeting, of stockholders; or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights; or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of 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 record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. The record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. The record date for determining the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. The record date for any other action shall not be more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, (i) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived by all stockholders, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (ii) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or to be taken is delivered to the Corporation and, when prior action by the board of directors is required, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action; and (iii) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating to such other purpose.

If the Corporation shall have more than five (5) shareholders, the secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address 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, at the Corporation’s principal offices. The list shall be produced and kept at the place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

Section 1.7   Quorum. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the articles of incorporation. If, however, such a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice if the time and place are announced at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty 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 1.8   Voting and Proxies. At every meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder, but no proxy shall be voted on after six months from its date unless the proxy provides for a longer period, which may not exceed seven years. When a specified item of business is required to be voted on by a class or series of stock, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such item of business by that class or series. If a quorum is present at a properly held meeting of the shareholders, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter under consideration, shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes (i) is required by the articles of incorporation, or (ii) has been provided for in an agreement among all shareholders entered into pursuant to and enforceable under Nevada Revised Statutes §78.365.

Section 1.9   Waiver. Attendance of a stockholder of the Corporation, either in person or by proxy, at any meeting, whether annual or special, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. A written waiver of notice of any such meeting signed by a stockholder or stockholders entitled to such notice, whether before, at or after the time for notice or the time of the meeting, shall be equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

Section 1.10   Stockholder Action Without a Meeting.  Except as may otherwise be provided by any applicable provision of the Nevada Revised Statutes, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power; provided that if a different proportion of voting power is required for such an action at a meeting, then that proportion of written consents is required.  In no instance where action is authorized by written consent need a meeting of stockholders be called or noticed.
