ARTICLE I.

 

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

Section 1. Annual Meetings. The Annual Meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (the “Annual Meeting”) for purposes of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) 78.330 shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. The election of directors and any other proper business may be transacted at the Annual Meeting of stockholders.

 

Section 2. Special Meetings. A Special Meeting of the stockholders (a “Special Meeting”) for any purpose or purposes may be called by (a) the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (b) the Chief Executive Officer, (c) stockholders holding not less than thirty-five percent (35%) of all the voting power entitled to vote on any issue at the meeting, or (d) the majority of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors that has been duly designated by the Board of Directors and whose powers and authority, as provided in a resolution of the Board of Directors or in these bylaws (the “Bylaws”), include the power to call such meetings. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Unless otherwise prescribed by law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended from time to time (the “Articles of Incorporation”) or these Bylaws, a Special Meeting may not be called by any other person or persons. No business may be transacted at any Special Meeting other than such business as may be designated in the notice (or any supplement thereto) calling such meeting.

 

Section 3. Place of Meetings. Unless otherwise required in the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of Directors, as the case may be, may designate the time and place, either within or without the State of Nevada, for any Annual Meeting or for any Special Meeting of the stockholders called by the Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that any meeting of the stockholders shall be held by means of electronic communications or other available technology in accordance with Section 17 of this Article I.

 

Section 4. Notice. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, the means of electronic communication, if any, and, in the case of a Special Meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise required by law or the Articles of Incorporation, written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting, and shall be delivered in accordance with NRS Section 78.370.

 

Section 5. Adjournments. Any meeting of the stockholders may be adjourned from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than sixty (60) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting in accordance with the requirements of Section 4 of this Article I shall be given to each stockholder of record (including the new record date) entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting.

 

Section 6. Quorum. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, a quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in Section 5 of this Article I, until a quorum shall be present or represented.

 

 

 

 

Section 7. Voting.

 

(a) Unless otherwise required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any question brought before any meeting of the stockholders, other than the election of directors, shall be decided by the vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on a matter at the meeting at which a quorum is present. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the election.

 

(b) Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, and subject to Section 11(a) of this Article I, each stockholder represented at a meeting of the stockholders shall be entitled to cast one (1) vote for each share of the capital stock entitled to vote thereat held by such stockholder. Such votes may be cast in person or by proxy as provided in Section 8 of this Article I. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the officer of the Corporation presiding at a meeting of the stockholders, in such officer’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

 

Section 8. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted upon after six (6) months from its date of creation, unless such proxy provides for a longer period, which may not exceed seven (7) years from the date of its creation, provided, however, that if such proxy is irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power, such proxy shall remain valid for as long as it is coupled with such interest. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority:

 

(a) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

 

(b) A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic record to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive the transmission, provided that any such electronic record must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic record was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that such electronic record is valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination shall specify the information on which they relied.

 

Any copy, facsimile or other electronic telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic record authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or electronic record for any and all purposes for which the original writing or electronic record could be used; provided, however, that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or electronic record.

 

Section 9. Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if the action is taken by the holders of outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all stockholders and shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. In order to be effective, the action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, dated and signed by approving stockholders having the requisite number of votes entitled to vote thereon, and delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its principal office, its principal place of business, the Secretary of the Corporation, or another office or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

 

No written consent shall be effective to take such corporate action unless, within sixty (60) days of the date of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Section, written consents signed by the number of holders required to take such action are delivered to the Corporation as set forth in this Section. Any written consent may be revoked prior to the date that the Corporation receives the required number of consents to authorize the proposed action. No revocation is effective unless in writing and until received by the Corporation at its principal office in Nevada or its principal place of business, or received by the Secretary or other officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

 

No notice shall be required for actions approved by written consent of the stockholders; provided, however, that if the dissolution of the Corporation is approved by written consent, notice shall be given to those stockholders who did not consent in writing within ten (10) days after the effective date of the dissolution in accordance with Section 78.580 of the NRS.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, actions taken by written consent of the stockholders shall only be accepted until the Company’s securities are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market or other national stock exchange. Upon such listing, the Company shall cease to accept actions approved by written consent and shall require that all such actions be approved at a meeting of the stockholders conducted in accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws.

Section 10. List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The officer of the Corporation who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days but not more than sixty (60) days, before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders of record entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder of record and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder of record. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting (i) either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held, (ii) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (iii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to the stockholders of the Corporation. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise required by law, such list shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders. In the event that more than one group of shares is entitled to vote as a separate voting group at the meeting, there shall be a separate listing of the stockholders of each group.

 

Section 11. Record Date.

 

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day before the day on which the first notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the last business day preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation’s principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded, to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Section 12. Stock Ledger. The stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by Section 10 hereof or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders.

 

Section 13. Conduct of Meetings. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman”), or, in the absence of the Chairman, by the vice chairman of the Board of Directors, if any, or if there be no vice chairman or in the absence of the vice chairman, by the Chief Executive Officer, if any, or if there be no Chief Executive Officer or in the absence of the Chief Executive Officer, by the President, or, in the absence of the President, or, in the absence of any of the foregoing persons, by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or by a chairman chosen at the meeting by the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes which all stockholders present in person or by proxy are entitled to cast. The individual acting as chairman of the meeting may delegate any or all of his or her authority and responsibilities as such to any director or officer of the Corporation present in person at the meeting. The Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary an assistant secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the secretary and any assistant secretary the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The order of business at each such meeting shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts and things as are necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, (i) the establishment of procedures for the maintenance of order and safety, (ii) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting, (iii) limitation on participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall permit, (iv) limitation on the time allotted for consideration of each agenda item and for questions or comments by meeting participants, (v) restrictions on entry to such meeting after the time prescribed for the commencement thereof, and (vi) the opening and closing of the voting polls. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the chairman of the meeting, in his or her discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

 

Section 14. Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting of the stockholders, the Board of Directors, by resolution, the Chairman or the President shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more other persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, inspectors may be officers, employees or agents of the Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. The inspector or inspectors may: (i) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each; (ii) determine the number of shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies or ballots; (iii) count all votes and ballots; (iv) determine any challenges made to any determination made by the inspector(s); and (v) certify the determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and the count of all votes and ballots.

 

Section 15. Nature of Business at Meetings of Stockholders. Unless otherwise required by law or the Articles of Incorporation, only such business (other than nominations for election to the Board of Directors and the election of directors, which must comply with the provisions of Section 16 of this Article I) may be transacted at an Annual Meeting of stockholders as is either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before the Annual Meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), or (c) otherwise properly brought before the Annual Meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 15 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such Annual Meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 15.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must be delivered to or be mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one-hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding Annual Meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the Annual Meeting is called for a date that is not within twenty- five (25) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the Annual Meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the Annual Meeting was made, whichever first occurs.

No business shall be conducted at the Annual Meeting of stockholders except business brought before the Annual Meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 15; provided, however, that, once business has been properly brought before the Annual Meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 15 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the chairman of an Annual Meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the Annual Meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman shall declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted.

Nothing contained in this Section 15 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision of law).

An annual regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held without notice as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting of stockholders for the purpose of the election of officers and the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting, and at such other time and place as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, with or without notice, at any time and from time to time, decide the time and place, either within or outside of the State of Nevada, for the holding of the annual regular meeting or additional regular meetings of the Board of Directors. Meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President of the Corporation, or a majority of the Board of Directors.

 

Section 8. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President of the Corporation, or a majority of the Board of Directors. The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or outside of the State of Nevada, as the place for holding any special meeting of the Board of Directors called by them. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation in the State of Nevada.

 

Notice of any special meeting of the Board of Directors may be given by any reasonable means, whether oral or written, and at any reasonable time prior to such meeting. The reasonableness of any notice given in connection with any special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be determined in light of all of the pertinent circumstances. It shall be presumed that notice of any special meeting given at least two (2) days prior to such special meeting, either orally (by telephone or in person), or by written notice delivered personally or mailed to each director at his or her business or residence address, is reasonable. If mailed, such notice of any special meeting shall be deemed to be delivered on the second day after it is deposited in the United States mail, so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when the notice is delivered by the electronic device. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose or purposes of, any special meetings of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or in any written waiver of notice of such meeting.

 

Section 9. Waiver of Notice of Meeting. Notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not be given to any director who signs a written waiver of notice either before, during or after the meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting and waiver of any and all objections to the place of the meeting, the time of the meeting and the manner in which it has been called or convened, except when a director states, at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival at the meeting, any objection to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 10. Quorum and Voting. A majority of the number of directors fixed in the manner provided by these Bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that whenever, for any reason, a vacancy occurs in the Board of Directors, a quorum shall consist of a majority of the remaining directors until the vacancy has been filled. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present when the vote is taken shall be the act of the Board of Directors.

 

A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum exists, may adjourn any meeting of the Board of Directors to another time and place. Notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment and, unless the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the time of the adjournment, to the other directors.

 

Section 11. Presumption of Assent. A director of this Corporation who is present at a meeting of its Board of Directors, or a committee 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 he or she (i) objects at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon his or her arrival) to holding the meeting or transacting specified business at the meeting, or (ii) votes against such action or abstains from the action taken; or (iii) has his or her dissent entered into the minutes of the meeting or filed with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or immediately thereafter, unless the dissenting director voted in favor of such action.

 

Section 12. Meetings of the Board of Directors by Electronic Means. Members of the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of such Board by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment if all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.

 

Section 13. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all of the directors of this Corporation, or all the members of the committee, as the case may be. Action taken under this Section is effective when the last director or member of the committee signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. Such consent shall have the same effect as a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document.

 

Section 14. Compensation. Each director may be paid his expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and a committee thereof, and may be paid a stated salary as a director or a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) or both, as may from time to time be determined by action of the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, as applicable. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

 

Section 15. Director Conflicts of Interests. No contract or other transaction between this Corporation and one or more of its directors or any other corporation, firm, association or entity in which one or more of the directors of this Corporation are directors or officers or are financially interested shall be either void or voidable because of such relationship or interest, or because such director or directors of this Corporation are present at the meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction, or because his or their vote(s) are counted for such purpose, if:

 

(a) The fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or committee which authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose without counting the vote(s) or written consent(s) of such interested director(s); or

 

(b) The fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the stockholders entitled to vote and they authorize, approve or ratify such contract or transaction by vote taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders; or

 

(c) The contract or transaction is fair and reasonable as to the Corporation at the time it is authorized by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders.

 

Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction.

Section 1. Certificates for Shares. The Board of Directors shall determine whether shares of the Corporation shall be uncertificated or certificated. If certificated shares are issued, certificates representing shares in the Corporation shall be signed (either manually or by facsimile) by the President or Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary and may be sealed with the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof. A certificate which has been signed by an officer or officers who later shall have ceased to be such officer when the certificate is issued shall nevertheless be valid. Upon receipt of the consideration for which the Board of Directors has authorized for the issuance of the shares, such shares so issued shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

 

11

 

 

Each share certificate representing shares shall state upon the face thereof: (a) the name of the Corporation; (b) that the Corporation is organized under the laws of the State of Nevada; (c) the name of the person or persons to whom issued; (d) the number and class of shares, and the designation of the series, if any, which such certificate represents; and (e) if different classes of shares or different series within a class are authorized, a summary of the designation, relative rights, preferences, and limitations applicable to each class and the variations in rights, preferences, and limitations determined for each series (and the authority of the Board of Directors to determine variations for future series), or in the alternative, that the Corporation will provide the stockholder with a full statement of this information on request and without charge.

 

Section 2. Issuance of Shares. All certificates issued shall be registered and numbered in the order in which they are issued. They shall be issued in consecutive order, and on the face of each share shall be entered the name of the person owning the shares represented by the certificate, the number of shares represented by the certificate, and the date of issuance of the certificate. Upon issuance, the certificate shall be signed by the President or a Vice President, and countersigned by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, and sealed with the seal of the Corporation. No certificate shall be issued for any share until such share is fully paid.

 

Section 3. Transfer of Shares; Ownership of Shares. Transfers of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be made only on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, and only after the surrender to the Corporation of the certificates representing such shares, if any, by the person in whose name the shares stand on the books of the Corporation, or his duly authorized legal representative.

In case of transfer by an attorney-in-fact, the power of attorney, duly executed and acknowledged, shall be deposited with the Secretary of the Corporation.

The Corporation shall issue a new stock certificate in the place of any certificate previously issued if the holder of record of the certificate: (a) makes proof in affidavit form that it has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken; (b) requests the issuance of a new certificate before the Corporation has notice that the certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim; (c) at the discretion of the Board of Directors, gives bond in such form and amount as the Corporation may require, to indemnify the Corporation, the transfer agent and registrar against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of such certificate; and (d) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Corporation.

ARTICLE VII.

 

DIVIDENDS

 

Section 1. Declaration. The Board of Directors may by resolution or vote declare such dividends as are permitted pursuant to Nevada law, and which are not otherwise prohibited by any other applicable law or regulation, whenever in their opinion the condition of the Corporation’s affairs will render it expedient for such dividends to be declared; provided, however that no such dividends shall be declared when the Corporation is insolvent, when such payment would render the Corporation insolvent, or when the declaration or payment thereof would be contrary to applicable laws, rules or regulations or to any restrictions contained in the Articles of Incorporation.

 

Section 2. Types. The following types of dividends may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors:

 

(a) Dividends in cash or property; provided, however, that such dividends may be paid only out of the unreserved and unrestricted earned surplus of the Corporation.

(1) If the dividend is payable in its own shares having a par value, such shares shall be issued at not less than the par value, and there shall be transferred to stated capital at the time such dividend is paid an amount of surplus equal to the aggregate par value of the shares to be issued as a dividend;

 

(2) If a dividend is payable in its own shares without par value, such shares shall be issued at such stated value as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors by a resolution adopted at the time such dividend is declared, and there shall be transferred to stated capital at the time such dividend is paid an amount of surplus equal to the aggregate stated value so fixed in respect to such shares, and the amount per share so transferred to stated capital shall be disclosed to the stockholders receiving such dividend concurrently with the payment thereof.

 

(d) No dividend payable in shares of any class shall be paid to the holders of the shares of any other class unless the Articles of Incorporation so provide, or such payment is authorized by the affirmative vote or the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the class in which the payment is to be made.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS

 

Section 1. Insurance. The Board of Directors of the Corporation, in its discretion, shall have authority on behalf of the Corporation to purchase and maintain insurance 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, partner, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article. The provisions of the following sections of this Article VIII shall apply only in the event that no such insurance is in effect or, if such insurance is in effect, only to the extent that matters for which indemnification by the Corporation is permitted by such sections are not within the coverage of such insurance.

 

Section 2. Action Against a Party Because of Corporation Position. The Corporation shall indemnify each officer or director, and may indemnify, in its sole discretion, any employee or agent who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed claim, 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 or she 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, partner, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he or she 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 his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such 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 or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 3. Action by or in the Right of Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any officer or director, and may indemnify, at its sole discretion, any employee or agent who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed claim, 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 or she 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, partner, 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 or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such claim, action, or suit, including any appeal thereof, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, 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 or her duty to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such claim, action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

 

13

 

 

Section 4. Reimbursement if Successful. To the extent that the director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any claim, action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Section 2 or Section 3 of this Article VIII, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, notwithstanding that he had not been successful (on the merits or otherwise) on any other claim, issue, or matter in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

 

Section 5. Authorization. Any indemnification under Section 2 or Section 3 of this Article VIII (unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 2 or Section 3 of this Article VIII. Such determination shall be made:

 

(a) By a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors; however, for the purposes of this Subsection, a quorum shall consist of directors who are or were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding;

 

(b) If such quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, by a majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which directors who are parties may participate) consisting solely of two or more directors who were not at the time parties to the proceeding;

 

(c) By independent legal counsel who are (i) selected by the Board of Directors prescribed in paragraph (a) or the committee prescribed in paragraph (b); or (ii) if a quorum of the directors cannot be obtained for paragraph (a) and the committee cannot be designated under paragraph (b), selected by majority vote of the full Board of Directors (in which directors who are parties may participate); or

 

(d) By the stockholders by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of stockholders who are or were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or, if no such quorum is obtainable, by a majority vote of stockholders who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding.

 

Section 6. Advance Reimbursement. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid to officers and directors, and, in its sole discretion, may be paid to agents and employees by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon a preliminary determination, following one of the procedures set forth in Section 5 of this Article VIII, that the director, officer, employee or agent met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 2 or Section 3 of this Article VIII, or as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case and, in either event, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article.

 

Section 7. Further Indemnification. Indemnification as provided in this Article shall not be deemed exclusive. The Corporation shall make any other further indemnification of any of its directors, officers, employees or agents that may be authorized under any statute, rule or law, provision of Articles of Incorporation, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, except an indemnification against gross negligence or willful misconduct. Where such other provision provides broader rights of indemnification than these Bylaws, such other provision shall control.

 

Section 8. Continuing Right of Indemnification. Indemnification as provided in this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

If not, the statements must be accompanied by a statement of the President or the person responsible for this Corporation’s accounting records: (a) stating his, her or its reasonable belief whether the statements were prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and, if not, describing the basis of preparation; and (b) describing any respects in which the statements were not prepared in accordance with any basis of accounting consistent with the statements prepared for the preceding year.

 

As permitted by law, the annual report shall be furnished to each stockholder by sending such report by mail, electronic transmission or by complying with Rule 14a-16 under the Exchange Act, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each fiscal year or within such additional time thereafter as is reasonably necessary to enable the Corporation to prepare its financial statements if, for reasons beyond its control, the Corporation is unable to prepare its financial statements within the prescribed period. Thereafter, on written request from a stockholder who has not been furnished the statements, the Corporation shall furnish him or her the latest financial statements.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Bylaws, the annual report shall be considered furnished pursuant to this Section 2 by the Corporation posting the annual report, including annual financial statements, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission or other authority on or through the Corporation’s website, along with a prominent undertaking to provide stockholders, upon request, a hard copy of the Corporation’s annual report free of charge; provided, however, that simultaneously therewith, the Corporation shall issue a press release stating that (i) its annual report has been filed with the Securities Exchange Commission or other authority, as applicable, (ii) the annual report is available on the Corporation’s website, (iii) the website address where the annual report can be found, and (iv) stockholders may receive a hard copy of the annual report free of charge upon request.
