In case of failure to call such meeting within twenty (20) days after such request, such shareholder or shareholders 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 Nevada, 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 shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting may designate any place, either within or without the State of Nevada, as the place for the holding of such meeting. If no such designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be at the principal office of the corporation. (78.310 and 78.375)1

 

Section 2.04. Notice of Meetings. The Secretary or Assistant Secretary, if any, shall cause notice of the date, time, place, and purpose or purposes of all meetings of the shareholders (whether annual or special), to be mailed at least ten (10) (but not more than sixty (60)) days prior to the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote. (78.370)

 

Section 2.05. Closing of Transfer Books. 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 any 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 period of not more than sixty (60) days, for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting. If the stock transfer books are closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting, such books shall be closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting.

 

In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than fifty (50) days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten (10) 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 such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such 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. (75.350)

 

Section 2.06. Voting Lists. 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 the shareholders of the corporation or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each, which 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, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during the whole time of the meeting. The original stock transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

Section 2.08. Proxies. At each meeting of the shareholders, each shareholder 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 stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact. 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 proxies, 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 upon all persons so designated. No proxy shall be valid after six months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy, which in no case shall exceed seven years from the date of its execution. Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the shares so held, except that no trustee or pledgee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name. (78.355)

In addition to regulations and restrictions imposed by law upon the voting of shares, shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or held by it in a fiduciary capacity shall not be voted directly or indirectly at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

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, except the election of directors, may be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.

Section 3.08. Manner of Acting. The act of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall, unless the act of a greater number of directors is required by the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation or these Bylaws, be the act of the Board of Directors and individual directors shall have no power as such. (78.315)

 

Section 3.09. Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. If any vacancies shall occur in the Board of Directors by reason of death, resignation, or otherwise, or if the number of directors shall be increased, the directors then in office shall continue to act and such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by a vote of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, in any way approved by the meeting.

(78.335, 78.340)

 

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.

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 3.14. Meetings by Telephone Conference Call.

Section 3.15. Removal of Directors. At a shareholders' meeting called expressly for that purpose, directors may be removed in the manner provided in this section unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation. One or more director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by a vote of the holders of the not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. If at the time of any shareholders' meeting called for such purpose the shareholders are entitled to cumulate their votes for directors and if less than the entire Board is to be removed, no one of the directors may be removed if the votes of a sufficient number of shares are cast against his removal which, if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which he is a part, would be sufficient to elect him. Whenever the holders of the shares of any class are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, the provisions of this section shall apply, in respect of the removal of a director or a director so elected, to the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of that class and not to the vote of the outstanding shares as a whole.

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 8.01. Indemnification Third Party Actions . The corporation shall have the power to 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 such 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 that 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 or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. (78.751)

Section 8.02. Indemnification Corporation Actions. The corporation shall have the power to 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 such 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 and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty 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, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. (78.751)

 

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 shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. Any other indemnification under Sections 8.01 or 8.02 hereof 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 8.01 or 8.02 hereof. Such determination shall be made either by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding, or (3) by the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum of shareholders at any meeting duly called for such purpose. (78.751)

 

Section 8.04. General Indemnification.
