If, on any issue, voting by classes is required by the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at least 33.3% of the voting power within each such class is necessary to constitute a quorum of each such class.

 

(b) If a quorum is not represented, a majority of the voting power so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time until holders of the voting power required to constitute a quorum shall be represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted as originally called. When a shareholders’ meeting is adjourned to another time or place hereunder, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

1.8. Voting.

 

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or in the resolution providing for the issuance of the stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, each shareholder of record, or such shareholder’s duly authorized proxy or attorney-in-fact, shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of voting stock standing registered in such shareholder’s name on the record date.

With respect to shares held by a representative of the estate of a deceased shareholder, guardian, conservator, custodian or trustee, votes may be cast by such holder upon proof of capacity, even though the shares do not stand in the name of such holder. In the case of shares under the control of a receiver, the receiver may cast votes carried by such shares even though the shares do not stand in the name of the receiver; provided, however, that the order of the court of competent jurisdiction which appoints the receiver contains the authority to cast votes carried by such shares. If shares stand in the name of a minor, votes may be cast only by the duly appointed guardian of the state of such minor if such guardian has provided the corporation with written proof of such appointment.

 

(c) With respect to shares standing in the name of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity on the record date, votes may be cast:

If shares are held by this corporation or its subsidiaries, if any, in a fiduciary capacity, no votes shall be cast with respect thereto on any matter except to the extent that the beneficial owner thereof possesses and exercises either a right to vote or to give the corporation holding the same binding instruction on how to vote.

 

(e) Any holder of shares entitled to vote on any matter may cast a portion of the votes in favor of such matter and refrain from casting the remaining votes or cast the same against the proposal, except in the case of elections of directors. If such holder entitled to vote fails to specify the number of affirmative votes, it will be conclusively presumed that the holder is casting affirmative votes with respect to all shares held.

 

(f) With respect to shares standing in the name of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, husband and wife as community property, tenants by the entirety, voting trustees, persons entitled to vote under a shareholder voting agreement or otherwise and shares held by two or more persons (including proxy holders) having the same fiduciary relationship in respect to the same shares, votes may be cast in the following manner:

voting binds all.

 

(2) If more than one person casts votes, the act of the majority so

 

(3) If more than one person casts votes, but the vote is evenly split on a particular matter, the votes shall be deemed cast proportionately, as split.

 

(g) If a quorum is present, unless the Articles of Incorporation provide for a different proportion, the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter shall be the act of the shareholders, unless voting by classes is required for any action of the shareholders by the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in which case the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of each such class shall be required.

At any meeting of shareholders, any holder of shares entitled to vote may designate, in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, another person or persons to act as a proxy or proxies. No proxy is valid after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of its creation, unless it is coupled with an interest or unless otherwise specified in the proxy. In no event shall the term of a proxy exceed seven (7) years from the date of its creation. Every proxy shall continue in full force and effect until its expiration or revocation in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

1.11. Absentees’ Consent to Meetings. Transactions of any meeting of the shareholders are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is represented, either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not represented in person or by proxy (and those who, although present, either object at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened or expressly object at the meeting to the consideration of matters not included in the notice which are legally required to be included therein), signs a written waiver of notice and/or consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records and made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not properly included in the notice if such objection is expressly made at the time any such matters are presented at the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of shareholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or consent, except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4(a) and (b) of these Bylaws.

 

1.12. Telephonic Meetings. Stockholders may participate in a meeting of the stockholders by means of a telephonic conference or similar method of communication by which all individuals participating in the meeting can hear each other.

When the Articles of Incorporation are amended in any way affecting the statements contained in the certificates for outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation or it becomes desirable for any reason, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, including, without limitation, the merger of the corporation with another corporation or the reorganization of the corporation, to cancel any outstanding certificate for shares and issue a new certificate thereof conforming to the rights of the holder, the Board of Directors may order any holders of outstanding certificates for shares to surrender and exchange the same for new certificates within a reasonable time to be fixed by the Board of Directors. The order may provide that a holder of any certificate(s) ordered to be surrendered shall not be entitled to vote, receive distributions or exercise any other rights of shareholders of record until the holder has complied with the order, but the order operates to suspend such rights only after notice and until compliance.

 

4.5. Transfer of Shares. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the corporation except on surrender and cancellation of the certificates therefor accompanied by an assignment or transfer by the registered owner made either in person or under assignment. Whenever any transfer shall be expressly made for collateral security and not absolutely, the collateral nature of the transfer shall be reflected in the entry of transfer in the records of the corporation.

 

4.6. Transfer Agent; Registrars. The Board of Directors may appoint one or more transfer agents, transfer clerk and registrars of transfer and may require all certificates for shares of stock to bear the signature of such transfer agent, transfer clerk and/or registrar of transfer.

 

4.7. Stock Transfer Records. The stock transfer records shall be closed for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to all meetings of the shareholders and shall be closed for the payment of distributions as provided in Article 5 of these Bylaws and during such periods as, from time to time, may be fixed by the Board of Directors, and, during such periods, no stock shall be transferable for purposes of Article 5 of these Bylaws and no voting rights shall be deemed transferred during such periods. Subject to the foregoing limitations, nothing contained herein shall cause transfers during such periods to be void or voidable.

 

4.8. Miscellaneous. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make such rules and regulations not inconsistent herewith as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of the corporation’s stock.

6.6. Required Authorization for Obligations.

ARTICLE 7. INDEMNIFICATION

 

7.1. Indemnification and Insurance.

 

(a) Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

(1) For purposes of this Article 7, (A) “Indemnitee” shall mean each director or officer who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving in any capacity at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, or fiduciary of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; and

(B) “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending or completed action or suit (including, without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

 

(2) Each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation for all actions taken by him or her and for all omissions (regardless of the date of any such action or omission), to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, against all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding.

 

(3) Indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

 

(b) Indemnification of Employees and Other Persons. The corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors and to the extent provided in such action, indemnify employees and other persons as though they were Indemnitees.

 

(c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification provided in this Article 7 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise.

 

12

 

 

(d) Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements 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 for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him or her against such liability and expenses.

 

(e) Other Financial Arrangements. The other financial arrangements which may be made by the corporation may include the following:

 

(i) the creation of a trust fund;

 

(ii) the establishment of a program of self-insurance; (iii) the securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the corporation; or (iv) the establishment of a letter of credit, guarantee or surety. No financial arrangement made pursuant to this subsection may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.

 

(f) Other Matters Relating to Insurance or Financial Arrangements. Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this section may be provided by the corporation or any other person approved by the Board of Directors, even if all or part of the other person’s stock or other securities is owned by the corporation. In the absence of fraud:

 

(1) the decision of the Board of Directors as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this Section 7.1 and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and

 

(2) the insurance or other financial arrangement;

 

  (i) is not void or voidable; and

 

  (ii) does not subject any director approving it to personal liability for his action, even if a director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement.

 

7.2. Amendment. The provisions of this Article 7 relating to indemnification shall constitute a contract between the corporation and each of its directors and officers which may be modified as to any director or officer only with that person’s consent or as specifically provided in this Section 7.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws relating to their amendment generally, any repeal or amendment of this Article 7 which is adverse to any director or officer shall apply to such director or officer only on a prospective basis and shall not limit the rights of an Indemnitee to indemnification with respect to any action or failure to act occurring prior to the time of such repeal or amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws, no repeal or amendment of these Bylaws shall affect any or all of this Article 7 so as to limit or reduce the indemnification in any manner unless adopted by (a) the unanimous vote of the directors of the corporation then serving, or (b) by the shareholders as set forth in Article 8 hereof; provided, however, that no such amendment shall have retroactive effect inconsistent with the preceding sentence.

 

7.3. Changes in Nevada Law. References in this Article 7 to Nevada law or to any provision thereof shall be to such law as it existed on the date this Article 7 was adopted or as such law thereafter may be changed; provided, however, that (a) in the case of any change which expands the liability of directors or officers or limits the indemnification rights or the rights to advancement of expenses which the corporation may provide, the rights to limited liability, to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and/or these Bylaws shall continue as theretofore to the extent permitted by law; and (b) if such change permits the corporation, without the requirement of any further action by the shareholders or directors, to limit further the liability of directors (or limit the liability of officers) or to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than the corporation was permitted to provide prior to such change, then liability thereupon shall be so limited and the rights to indemnification and the advancement of expenses shall be so broadened to the extent permitted by law.

8.2. Restriction on Transfer Arising from “S” Corporation Status. If elected, no shareholder may convey and no person may acquire the legal and/or beneficial ownership of any capital securities where such conveyance would cause the corporation’s “S” corporation status to terminate.
