Section 9. Interested Directors. No contract or transaction between this Corporation and any of its directors, or between this Corporation and any other corporation, firm, association, or other legal entity shall be invalidated by reason of the fact that the director of the Corporation has a direct or indirect interest, pecuniary or otherwise, in such corporation, firm, association, or legal entity, or because the interested director was present at the meeting of the Board which acted upon or in reference to such contract or transaction, or because he participated in such action, provided that: (1) the interest of each such director shall have been disclosed to or known by the Board and a disinterested majority of the Board shall have, nonetheless, ratified and approved such contract or transaction (such interested director or directors may be counted in determining whether a quorum is present for the meeting at which such ratification or approval is given); or (2) the conditions of NRS §78.140 are met.

 

Section 10. Term of Directors. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Corporation (the “Annual Meeting”) following the Annual Meeting at which such director was elected. All directors shall have equal standing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10 each director shall serve until their successor is elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal; no decrease in the authorized number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director; and additional directors, elected in connection with rights to elect such additional directors under specified circumstances, which may be granted to the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock, shall serve for such term or terms and pursuant to such other provisions as are specified in the resolution of the Board establishing such class or series.

 

Section 11. Vacancies on Board. Except as may otherwise be provided in connection with rights to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, which may be granted to the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, or any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, removal, or other causes, shall be filled solely by the quorum of the Board. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or until such director’s death, resignation or removal, whichever first occurs.

 

Section 12. Removal of Directors. Except as may otherwise be provided in connection with rights to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, which may be granted to the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock, any director may be removed from office only by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote. Failure of an incumbent director to be nominated to serve an additional term of office shall not be deemed a removal from office requiring any stockholder vote.

 

Section 13. Stockholder Action. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effective at a duly called Annual Meeting or at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, unless such action requiring or permitting stockholder approval is approved by a majority of the Directors, in which case such action may be authorized or taken by the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting stock having not less than the minimum voting power that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting of stockholders at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, provided all other requirements of applicable law and these Articles of Incorporation have been satisfied.

 

Section 14. Special Stockholder Meeting. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by a majority of the Board. Special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons. Each special meeting shall be held at such date and time as is requested by Board, within the limits fixed by law.

Section 16. Private Property of Stockholders. The private property of the stockholders shall not be subject to the payment of corporate debts to any extent whatever and the stockholders shall not be personally liable for the payment of the Corporation’s debts.

 

Section 17. Amendments. The Corporation reserves the right to adopt, repeal, rescind, alter or amend in any respect any provision contained in these Articles of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by applicable law and all rights conferred on stockholders herein granted subject to this reservation. Common Stock shall have no right to vote on powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions (collectively, the “Preferences”) pertaining to any class of Preferred Stock, or on any amendment to the Preferences pertaining to any class of Preferred Stock, at any time, whether before or after the issuance thereof, even if the holders of such class of Preferred Stock or any other class of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote thereon. No class of Preferred Stock shall have any right to vote on the Preferences pertaining to any other class of Preferred Stock, or any amendment to the Preferences pertaining to such other class of Preferred Stock, at any time, whether before or after the issuance thereof, even if the holders of such other class of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote thereon, provided, however, that the class of Preferred Stock as to which the Preferences are being amended shall have the right to vote on such amendment as set forth in the designation thereof.

 

Section 18. Term of Existence. The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.

 

Section 19. Liability of Directors. No director of this Corporation shall have personal liability to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officers involving any act or omission of any such director or officer. The foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s fiduciary duties to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or, which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under applicable Sections of the NRS, including NRS 78.138(7), (iv) the payment of dividends in violation of the NRS, or (v) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Any repeal or modification of this Section 19 by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director or officer of the Corporation for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification. If the NRS 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 full extent permitted by the NRS as so amended.

 

Section 20. Indemnification.

 

(a) Each person (including here and hereinafter, the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of such person) (1) who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation in the position of a director, officer, trustee, partner, agent or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (2) who is or was an agent or employee (other than an officer) of the Corporation and as to whom the Corporation has agreed to grant such indemnity, shall be indemnified by the Corporation as of right to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by current or future legislation or by current or future judicial or administrative decision (but, in the case of any future legislation or decision, only to the extent that it permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior to the legislation or decision), against all fines, liabilities, settlements, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, asserted against him or incurred by him in his capacity as such director, officer, trustee, partner, agent or employee, or arising out of his status as such director, officer, trustee, partner, agent or employee. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any such person against any such fine, liability, cost or expense, including attorney’s fees, whether or not the Corporation would have the legal power to directly indemnify him against such liability.

(b) The rights granted under Section 20(a) shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “advancement of expenses”); except that, if the NRS so requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an beneficiary in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such beneficiary, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking , by or on behalf of such beneficiary, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such beneficiary is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 20(b) or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 20 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to a beneficiary who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the beneficiary’s heirs, executors and administrators. No amendment to this Section 20 that limits the Corporation’s obligation regarding advancement of expenses shall have any effect on that right for a claim arising out of an act or omission that occurs prior to the date of the amendment.

 

(c) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation or an administrator or fiduciary with respect to any employee benefit plan to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 20 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

 

(d) Any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 20 shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, these Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

(e) If this Section 20 or any portion of it is invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by all portions of this Section 20 that has not been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(a) Control Share Acquisition Exemption. The Corporation elects not to be governed by the provisions of NRS §78.378 to NRS §78.3793, inclusive.

 

(b) Combinations with Interested Stockholders. The Corporation elects not to be governed by the provisions of NRS §78.411 through NRS §78.444, inclusive.
