Section
2.1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation
shall be held at such place within or without the State of Nevada as shall
be
set forth in compliance with these Bylaws. The meeting shall be held on the
first Tuesday of December of each year. If such day is a legal holiday, the
meeting shall be on the next business day. This meeting shall be for the
election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may
properly come before it.
In
the event that such annual meeting is omitted by oversight or otherwise on
the
date herein provided for, the directors shall cause a meeting in lieu thereof
to
be held as soon thereafter as conveniently may be, and any business transacted
or elections held at such meeting shall be as valid as if transacted or held
at
the annual meeting. If the election of directors shall not be held on the date
designated herein for any annual meeting of shareholders, or at any adjournment
thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special
meeting of shareholders as soon thereafter as may conveniently be called. Such
subsequent meeting shall be called in the same manner as is provided for the
annual meeting of shareholders.
Section
2.2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of shareholders, other than those
regulated by statute, may be called at any time by the President, or by a
majority of the directors, and must be called by the President upon written
request of the holders of not less than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares
entitled to vote at such special meeting.
Section
2.3. Notice of Shareholders' Meetings. The President, Vice President or
Secretary shall give written notice stating the place, day and hour of the
meeting, and in the case of a special meeting the purpose or purposes for which
the meeting is called, which shall be delivered not less than ten nor more
than
fifty days before the day of the meeting, either personally or by mail to each
shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice
shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail
addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the books of the
Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.
Any
meeting of which all shareholders shall at any time waive or have waived notice
in writing shall be a legal meeting for the transaction of business
notwithstanding that notice has not been given as hereinbefore
provided.
Section
2.4. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given
by
these Bylaws, or the Articles of Incorporation, or by any of the Corporation
Laws of the State of Nevada, a shareholder may waive the notice of meeting
by
attendance, either in person or by proxy, at the meeting, or by so stating
in
writing, either before or after such meeting. Attendance at a meeting for the
express purpose of objecting that the meeting was not lawfully called or
convened shall not, however, constitute a waiver of notice.
Section
2.5. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either
within or without the State of Nevada, as the place of meeting for any annual
meeting or for any special meeting called by the Board of Directors. If no
designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place
of
meeting shall be the registered office of the Corporation.
Section
2.6. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing Record Date. For the purpose of
determining shareholders entitled to notice or to vote at any meeting of
shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive
payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders
for
any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide
that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a period not to exceed in
any
case 50 days. If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of
determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least 10 days immediately
preceding the date determined to be the date of record. In lieu of closing
the
stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the
record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case
to
be not more than 50 days and in case of a meeting of shareholders not less
than
10 days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such
determination of shareholders is to be taken. If the stock transfer books are
not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders
entitled to notice or to vote at a meeting of shareholders or shareholders
to
receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed
or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such
dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be deemed the date of record
for
such determination of shareholders. When a determination of persons entitled
to
vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section,
such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.
Section
2.7. Quorum of Shareholders. Except as herein provided and as otherwise provided
by law, at any meeting of shareholders a majority in interest of all the shares
issued and outstanding represented by shareholders of record in person or by
proxy shall constitute a quorum, but a less interest may adjourn any meeting
and
the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice; provided; however,
that directors shall not be elected at the meeting so adjourned. When a quorum
is present at any meeting, a majority in interest of the shares represented
is
one upon which the express provision of law or of the Articles of Incorporation
or of these Bylaws a larger or different vote is required, in which case such
express provision shall govern and control the decision of such
question.
Section
2.8. Voting Lists. The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer
books for shares of the Corporation shall make a complete list of the
shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof,
arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares
held by each, which list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place
of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder, for
any purpose germane to the meeting, during the whole time of the meeting. The
original stock transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the
shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at
any
meeting of shareholders.
Section
2.9. Voting. A holder of an outstanding share entitled to vote at a meeting
may
vote at such meeting in person or by proxy. Except as may otherwise be provided
in the Articles of Incorporation, every shareholder shall be entitled to one
vote for each share standing in his name on the record of shareholders. Except
as herein or in the Articles of Incorporation otherwise provided, all corporate
action shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of
shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon.
Section
2.10. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote in person
or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized
attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the
Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after
eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in
the
proxy.
Section
2.11. Informal Action by Shareholders. Any action required to be taken at a
meeting of the shareholders, or any action which may be taken at a meeting
of
the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing,
setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by a majority of the
shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof,
provided that if any greater proportion and voting power is required for such
action, then such greater proportion of written consents shall be
required.

Members
of the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board by means
of
conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other and participation in a meeting
under this subsection shall constitute presence in person at the meeting,

by
these Bylaws, or the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, or by any
of
the Corporation Laws of the State of Nevada, a director may waive the notice
of
meeting by attendance in person at the meeting, or by so stating in writing,
either before or after such meeting. Attendance at a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened shall
not, however, constitute a waiver of notice.
Section

constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but less than a quorum
may
adjourn any meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present, whereupon

at
which every director shall be present, even though without any notice, any
business may be transacted.
Section
3.8. Manner of Acting. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, each director
shall have one vote. The act of a majority present at a meeting shall be the
act
of the board of Directors, provided a quorum is present. Any action required
to
be taken or which may be taken at a meeting of the directors may be taken
without a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken
shall be signed by all the directors. The directors may conduct a meeting by
means of a conference telephone or any similar communication equipment by which
all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.
Section
3.9. Powers of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have the responsibility
for the entire management of the business of the Corporation. In the management
and control of the property, business and affairs of the Corporation the Board
of Directors is hereby vested with all of the powers possessed by the
Corporation itself so far as this delegation of authority is not inconsistent
with the laws of the State of Nevada and with the Articles of Incorporation
or
with these Bylaws. The Board of Directors shall have the power to determine
what
constitutes net earnings, profits and surplus, respectively, and what amounts
shall be reserved for working capital and for any other purpose and what amounts
shall be declared as dividends, and such determination by the Board of Directors
shall be final and conclusive.
Section

in
case of death, resignation or removal of any director, or if the authorized

authorized number to be elected at that meeting.
Any
vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, whether arising from death,
resignation, removal (with or without cause), any increase in the number of
directors or any other reason, may be filled by an affirmative vote of the
majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum of the Board
of
Directors, or by the shareholders at the next annual meeting thereof or at
a
special meeting thereof, and each director so elected to fill a vacancy shall
be
elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office.
Section
3.11. Removals. Directors may be removed at any time at a meeting called
expressly for that purpose by a vote of the shareholders holding a majority
of
the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such vacancy shall
be
filled by the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, to hold
office until the next annual meeting or until his successor is duly elected
and
qualified, except that any directorship to be filled by reason of removal by
the
shareholders may be filled by election, by the shareholders, at the meeting
at
which the director is removed. No reduction of the authorized number of
directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration
of his term of office.
Section
3.12. Resignations. A director may resign at any time by delivering written
notification thereof to the President or Secretary of the Corporation. Such
resignation shall become effective upon its acceptance by the Board of
Directors; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors has not acted
thereon within ten days from the date of its delivery, the resignation shall
upon the tenth day be deemed accepted.

written dissent to such action with the person acting as the Secretary of the
meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by
registered mail to the Secretary of the Corporation immediately after the
adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director
who voted in favor of such action.

shall
be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board
of
Directors, and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the

preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and
receiving compensation therefore.
Section
3.15. Emergency Power. When, due to a national disaster or death, a majority
of
the directors are incapacitated or otherwise unable to attend the meetings
and
function as directors, the remaining members of the Board of Directors shall

of doing business and filling vacancies, shall constitute a quorum until such
time as all directors can attend or vacancies can be filled pursuant to these
Bylaws.

to
which such persons shall become subject by reason of any action alleged to
have
been heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to have been taken by him as
such
director or officer, and shall reimburse each such person for all legal and
other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim
of
liability; including power to defend such person from all suits as provided
for
under the provisions of the Nevada Corporation Laws; provided, however that
no
such person shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for, any expense
incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of his own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The rights accruing to any person under the

any
action or making any payment or in refusing so to do in reliance upon the advice
