In furtherance and not in limitation of the rights, powers, privileges and discretionary authority granted or conferred by the ARS or other statutes or laws of the State of Arizona, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”), without any action on the part of the shareholders (except to the extent provided in ARS § 10-1020(A)(2)), but the shareholders may make, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws whether adopted by the shareholders or otherwise.

ARTICLE VIII

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a director or former director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for any action taken or any failure to take any action as a director. This provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any of the following: (i) the amount of a financial benefit received by a director to which the director is not entitled, (ii) an intentional infliction of harm on the Corporation or its shareholders, (iii) a violation of ARS Section 10-833 or (iv) an intentional violation of criminal law. If the ARS is hereafter amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the ARS, as so amended.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation may indemnify a director or former director for any liability (as defined in ARS Section 10-850) to any person for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, except liability for any of the following: (i) the amount of a financial benefit received by a director to which the director is not entitled, (ii) an intentional infliction of harm on the Corporation or its shareholders, (iii) a violation of ARS Section 10-833 or (iv) an intentional violation of criminal law.

The authority of the Corporation to so indemnify and advance expenses shall be in addition to the provisions of ARS Sections 10-850 to 10-858 and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall apply whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify or advance expenses to the individual against the same liability under the provisions of ARS Sections 10-850 to 10-858 in the absence of the above authority. The authority of the Corporation to so indemnify and advance expenses shall be in addition to the provisions of any contract or Corporation bylaw dealing with indemnification or advancement of expenses, provided, however, that any contract or bylaw purporting to make indemnification or advancement of expenses mandatory shall not apply to the indemnification authority pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, which shall remain discretionary. Any determination to indemnify or advance expenses pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be made by the Board by a majority vote. In addition, any determination to indemnify or advance expenses pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII may be made by any other authorizing method permitted by law.

ARTICLE IX

Meetings of shareholders may be held within or without the State of Arizona, as the Bylaws may provide. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all the holders of outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, and shall be delivered to the Corporation.

The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the ARS) within or without the State of Arizona at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board or in the Bylaws.
