SECTION 2

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 or the Secretary by resolution of the Board of Directors or at the request in writing of the Stockholders owning a majority in amount of the entire capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose of the proposed meeting.

SECTION 3

Place of Meetings. All annual meetings of the Stockholders shall be held at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other place within or outside the State of Nevada as the Board of Directors shall determine.

In the event that any such instrument in writing shall designate two or more persons to act as proxies, a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or, if only one shall be present, then that one shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred by such written instrument upon all of the persons so designated unless the instrument shall otherwise provide. No proxy or power of attorney to vote shall be used to vote at a meeting of the Stockholders unless it shall have been filed with the secretary of the meeting. All questions regarding the qualification of voters, the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided by the inspectors of election who shall be appointed by the Board of Directors, or if not so appointed, then by the presiding officer of the meeting.

SECTION 7

Any action of a majority, although not at a regularly called meeting, and the record thereof, if assented to in writing by all of the other members of the Board of Directors shall be as valid and effective in all respects as if passed by the Board of Directors in regular meeting.

A quorum of the Board of Directors may adjourn any meeting of the Board of Directors to meet again at a stated day and hour-provided, however, that in the absence of a quorum, a majority of the directors present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, either regular or special, may adjourn from time to time until the time fixed for the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors.
