1.2. OTHER OFFICES. The Corporation also may have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Nevada as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.


ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS


2.1. STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS.


(a) TIME AND PLACE OF MEETINGS. Meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such times and places, either within or without the State of Nevada, as may from time to time be fixed by the Board of Directors and stated in the notices or waivers of notice of such meetings.


(b) ANNUAL MEETING. Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held at such date and time as may be set and stated in the notice of the meeting. At the annual meeting, stockholders shall elect a board of directors and transact such other business as properly may be brought before the annual meeting.


(c) SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time only by the Chairman of the Board, or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, or at the request in writing of shareholders owning at least 51% of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Business transacted at any special meeting of the stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of such meeting.


1
(d) NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, written notice of each meeting of the stockholders shall be given not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date of such meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat, directed to such stockholder's address as it appears upon the books of the Corporation, such notice to specify the place, date, hour and purpose or purposes of such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the stock ledger of the Corporation. When a meeting of the stockholders is adjourned to another time and/or place, notice need not be given of such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting of the stockholders at which the adjournment is taken, unless the adjournment is for more than thirty days or unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for such adjourned meeting, in which event a notice of such adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat. Notice of the time, place and purpose of any meeting of the stockholders may be waived in writing either before or after such meeting and will be waived by any stockholder by such stockholder's attendance thereat in person or by proxy. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such a meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.


(e) QUORUM. Except as otherwise required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of not less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum and the affirmative vote of the majority of such quorum shall be deemed the act of the stockholders. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting of the stockholders, the presiding officer of such meeting may adjourn such meeting from time to time to another place, date or time, without notice other than announcement at such meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting of the stockholders as originally noticed. The foregoing notwithstanding, if a notice of any adjourned special meeting of the stockholders is sent to all stockholders entitled to vote thereat which states that such adjourned special meeting will be held with those present in person or by proxy constituting a quorum, then, except as otherwise required by law, those present at such adjourned special meeting of the stockholders shall constitute a quorum and all matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast at such special meeting.


2.2. DETERMINATION OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO NOTICE AND TO VOTE. To determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of the stockholders or to vote thereat, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a record date as provided in Article VII, Section 7.1 of these Bylaws, or if no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, a record date shall be determined as provided by law.


2
2.3. VOTING.


(a) Except as otherwise required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, each stockholder present in person or by proxy at a meeting of the stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each full share of stock registered in the name of such stockholder at the time fixed by the Board of Directors or by law at the record date of the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting.


(b) Every stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders may do so either (i) in person or (ii) by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy executed by the person or such stockholder's duly authorized agent, whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise as permitted by law. No proxy shall be voted on after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.


(c) Voting may be by voice or by ballot as the presiding officer of the meeting of the stockholders shall determine. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by such stockholder's proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted.


(d) In advance of or at any meeting of the stockholders, the Chairman of the Board may appoint one or more persons as inspectors of election (the "Inspectors") to act at such meeting. Such Inspectors shall take charge of the ballots at such meeting. After the balloting on any question, the Inspectors shall count the ballots cast and make a written report to the secretary of such meeting of the results. Subject to the direction of the Chairman of the Board, the duties of such Inspectors may further include without limitation: determining the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each; the shares represented at the meeting; the existence of a quorum; the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies; receiving votes, ballots, or consents; hearing and determining all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; counting and tabulating all votes of consents and determining when the polls shall close; determining the result; and doing such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. An Inspector need not be a stockholder of the Corporation and any officer of the Corporation may be an Inspector on any question other than a vote for or against such officer's election to any position with the Corporation or on any other questions in which such officer may be directly interested. If there are three or more Inspectors, the determination, report or certificate of a majority of such Inspectors shall be effective as if unanimously made by all Inspectors.


2.4. LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make available, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each such stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to such meeting, either at a place within the city where such meeting is to be held and which place shall be specified in the notice of such meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where such meeting is to be held. The list also shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting of the stockholders during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.


3
2.5. ACTION BY CONSENT OF STOCKHOLDERS. A resolution in writing, signed by Stockholders, representing a majority of those shares entitled to vote shall be deemed to be the action of the Stockholders to the effect therein expressed with the same force and effect as if the same had been duly passed by the same vote at a duly convened meeting, and it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Corporation to record such Resolution in the Minute Book of the Corporation under its proper date.


If stockholder action is taken without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent, notice shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.


2.6. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The Chairman of the Board shall have full and complete authority to determine the agenda, to set the procedures and order the conduct of meetings, all as deemed appropriate by such person in his sole discretion with due regard to the orderly conduct of business.


2.7. NOTICE OF AGENDA MATTERS. If a stockholder wishes to present to the Chairman of the Board an item for consideration as an agenda item for a meeting of stockholders, he must give timely notice to the Secretary of the Corporation and give a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than sixty days nor more than ninety days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that if less than seventy days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the fifteenth day following the date on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made and provided further that any other time period necessary to comply with federal proxy solicitation rules or other regulations, if applicable, shall be deemed to be timely.

Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if the time when such resignation shall become effective shall not be so specified, then such resignation shall take effect immediately upon its receipt by the Secretary; and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.


(c) NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS. Candidates for director of the Corporation shall be nominated only either by:

(d) VACANCIES. Vacancies and new directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a person elected by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director.
