ARTICLE II—STOCKHOLDERS

 

Section 2.01    Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held on such date and at such time as is designated by the board of directors and as is provided for in the notice of the meeting. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day designated herein for the annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the board of directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the stockholders as soon thereafter as may be convenient.

 

Section 2.02    Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president, or in their absence or disability, by any vice president, or by the board of directors (by action of a majority of the directors).

Section 2.03    Place of Meetings. 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. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be at the principal office of the corporation.

Section 2.04    Notice of Meetings. The secretary or assistant secretary, if any, shall cause notice of the time, place, and purpose or purposes of all meetings of the stockholders (whether annual or special), to be mailed at least ten (10) but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote.

 

Section 2.05    Waiver of Notice. Any stockholder may waive notice of any meeting of stockholders (however called or noticed, whether or not called or noticed and whether before, during, or after the meeting), signing a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. Attendance at a meeting, in person or by proxy, shall constitute waiver of all defects of notice regardless of whether a waiver of notice, consent to the holding of such meeting, or any approval of the minutes thereof is signed or any objections are made, unless attendance is solely for the purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. All such waivers, consents, or approvals shall be made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

 

Section 2.06    Fixing Record Date. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or entitled to exercise any rights in respect to any change, conversion, or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, such date in any case to be not more than sixty (60) days and, in case, of a meeting of stockholders, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of stockholders is to be taken. If no record date is fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting, the day preceding the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed shall be the record date. For any other purpose, the record date shall be the close of business on the date on which the resolution of the board of directors pertaining thereto is adopted. When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof. Failure to comply with this section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting of stockholders.

  

Section 2.07    Voting Lists. The officers of the corporation shall cause to be prepared from the stock ledger at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. 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 days prior to the meeting, 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. 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. The original stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this section, or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

 

Section 2.08    Quorum. A majority of the shares of each class, and series of each class, to the extent applicable (unless more than one class and or series votes as a class, in which case a majority of the shares voting as a class) of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the articles of incorporation. If, however, such 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 the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice (other than the announcement at the meeting) until a date and time that a quorum shall be present. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

Section 2.09    Vote Required. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of stock having a majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one on which by express provision of the statutes of the state of Nevada or of the articles of incorporation or as otherwise specifically required by these bylaws a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

 

Section 2.10    Voting of Stock. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, each stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder, subject to the modification of such voting rights of any class or classes of the corporation's capital stock by the articles of incorporation.

Section 2.11    Proxies. At each meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder entitled to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy, provided however, that the right to vote by proxy shall exist only in case the instrument authorizing such proxy to act shall have been executed in writing by the registered holder or holders of such stock, as the case may be, as shown on the stock ledger of the corporation or by his attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing. Such instrument authorizing a proxy to act shall be delivered at the beginning of such meeting to the secretary of the corporation or to such other officer or person who may, in the absence of the secretary, be acting as secretary of the meeting. In the event that any such instrument shall designate two or more persons to act as proxy, a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or if only one be present, that one shall (unless the instrument shall otherwise provide) have all of the powers confirmed by the instrument on all persons so designated. Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity, shall be entitled to vote the stock so held and the persons whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless, the transfer by the pledgor in the books and records of the corporation shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent such stock and vote thereon. No proxy shall be voted or acted on after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. If and to the extent allowed by the laws of the State of Nevada and of the United States, stockholders may provide proxies electronically.

 Section 2.12     Stockholder Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting.

A stockholder’s notice to the secretary shall set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation's books, of the stockholder of record proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the corporation's capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder, and (d) any material interest of such stockholder in such business. Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be brought before or conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the provisions of this section. The officer of the corporation or the person presiding at the annual meeting shall, if the facts so warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with such provisions, and if such presiding officer should so determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with such provisions and if such presiding officer should so determine, such presiding officer shall so declare to the meeting, and any such business so determined to be not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

ARTICLE III—DIRECTORS

 

Section 3.01    Number, Term, and Qualifications. The board of directors shall consist of one or more members, each of whom shall be a natural person. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole board shall be fixed from time to time by a majority vote of the directors then in office even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director's term of office expires. At each annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting in lieu thereof, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting in lieu thereof until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Directors need neither be residents of the state of incorporation nor stockholders of the corporation.

 

Section 3.02    Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Vacancies resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the board of directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause may be filled only by a majority vote of the directors then in office even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors, each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director until the expiration of his or her current term or his or her prior death, retirement, removal or resignation. In the event of a vacancy in the board of directors, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, may exercise the powers of the full board of directors until the vacancy is filled.

Section 3.03    General Powers. The business of the corporation shall be managed under the direction of its board of directors which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the articles of incorporation or by these bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

 

Section 3.04    Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of board of directors shall be held without notice immediately following and at the same place as the annual meeting of stockholders.

Section 3.05    Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president, or any two directors. The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the board of directors may fix any place, either within or without the state of incorporation, as the place for holding any special meeting of the board of directors called by them.

 

Section 3.06    Telephonic and Electronic Communications. Members of the board of directors or of any committee designated by the board of directors may participate in a meeting of the board of directors or such committee through electronic communications, videoconferencing, teleconferencing or other available technology permitted under the NRS. If any such means are utilized, the corporation shall, to the extent required under the NRS, implement reasonable measures to (a) verify the identity of each person participating through such means as a director or member of the committee, as the case may be; and (b) provide the directors or members a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the directors or members, as the case may be, including an opportunity to communicate and to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting in a substantially concurrent manner with such proceedings. For the purposes of establishing a quorum and taking any action at the meeting, such directors or members of the committee, as the case may be, participating pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be deemed present in person at the meeting.

 

Section 3.07    Notice. Notice of any special meeting shall be delivered personally or by telephone or by facsimile or by email to each director or sent by first-class mail, charges prepaid, addressed to each director at that director's address, phone number, facsimile number, or email (as the case may be) as shown on the records of the corporation. If the notice is mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four (4) days before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is delivered personally or by telephone or by facsimile or by email, it shall be delivered at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting Any director may waive notice of any meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting solely for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

Section 3.08    Quorum. A majority of the number of directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors, but if less than a majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

 

Section 3.09    Manner of Acting. The act of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors, unless the question is one on which by express provision of the statutes of the state of Nevada or of the articles of incorporation or as otherwise specifically required by these bylaws a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question, and individual directors shall have no power as such.

 

Section 3.10    Written Consent to Action by Directors. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the directors of the corporation or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the directors or of a committee, may be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the directors, or all of the members of the committee, as the case may be. Such consent shall have the same legal effect as a unanimous vote of all the directors or members of the committee.

 

Section 3.11. Interested Directors. No contract or transaction between the corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board of directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (1) the fact as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction is known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; (2) the fact as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction is known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (3) the contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved, or ratified 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 of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

 

Section 3.12 Committees of Directors. The board of directors may designate and appoint one or more committees as the board of directors considers appropriate, which shall consist of one or more directors of the corporation. Persons who are not directors of the corporation are not eligible to serve on committees of the board of directors. The board of directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Each committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the board of directors creating same, shall have and may exercise such of the powers and authority of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation as the board of directors may direct and delegate, except, however, those matters which are required by statute to be reserved unto or acted upon by the entire board of directors. The board of directors shall have the power at any time to fill vacancies in, to change the membership of, or to dissolve, any such committee. Unless otherwise provided for in a resolution of the board of directors designating a committee, a majority of the authorized number of members of such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of such committee, and the vote of a majority of the members of such committee present at a meeting of such committee at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee except where otherwise required by these bylaws or the charter of such committee. Unless otherwise appointed by the board of directors, each committee may fix its own presiding and recording officer or officers, and may meet at such place or places, at such time or times and on such notice (or without notice) as it shall determine from time to time. Each committee shall keep written minutes of its proceedings and shall report such proceedings to the board of directors as appropriate.

 

Section 3.13    Compensation. Unless otherwise restricted by the articles of incorporation or these bylaws, the board of directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. No such compensation shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

 

Section 3.14    Presumption of Assent. A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting 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 his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting, unless he shall file his 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 or certified 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.

 

Section 3.15    Resignation and Removal. A director may resign at any time by delivering a written resignation to the chief executive officer, the president, a vice president, the secretary or assistant secretary, if any. The resignation shall become effective upon delivery unless otherwise stated therein. Subject to any rights of the holders of preferred stock, if any, and except as otherwise provided in the NRS, any director, or the entire board of directors, may be removed from office by a vote of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders duly noticed and called in accordance with these bylaws.

Except as provided by law, the corporation and transfer agents and registrars, if any, shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any stock as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any legal, equitable, or other claim to or interest in such stock on the part of any other person whether or not it or they shall have express or other notice thereof.
