The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held at the date and time as determined by the Board of Directors, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting.  If the election of directors shall not be held on the day designated for the annual meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause such election to be held at a special meeting of shareholders.

2.2 Special Meetings

Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes may be called only (i) by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (ii) by the Board of Directors, pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire Board of Directors, or (iii) by the Secretary of the Corporation, following his or her receipt of one or more written demands to call a special meeting of the shareholders in accordance with, and subject to, this Section 2.2 from shareholders of record as of the record date fixed in accordance with Section 2.2.1 who hold, in the aggregate, at least 20% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote on the matter for which the meeting is called (the “Requisite Percentage”).   The notice of a special meeting shall state the purpose or purposes of the special meeting, and the business to be conducted at the special meeting shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice.   Except in accordance with this Section 2.2 shareholders shall not be permitted to propose business to be brought before a special meeting of the shareholders.   Shareholders who nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors at a special meeting must also comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.11.3.

2.2.1 Fixing Date for Determination of Shareholders of Record.

In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to demand to call a special meeting of the shareholders, 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 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.   Any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders demand to call a special meeting of the shareholders shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request that the Board of Directors fix a record date.   The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten (10) days after the date on which such written notice is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date (unless a record date has previously been fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.2.1).   If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.2.1 or otherwise within ten (10) days after the date on which such written notice is received, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to demand to call a special meeting of the shareholders shall be the first date after the expiration of such ten (10) day time period on which a signed demand to  call a special meeting of the shareholders setting forth the purpose or purposes of the special meeting is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Illinois, its principal place of business, or to any officer of agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded.

2.2.2 Inspection of Demands.

In the event of the delivery, in the manner provided by this Section 2.2 and applicable law, to the Corporation of demands to call a special meeting of the shareholders and/or any related revocation or revocations, the Corporation shall engage independent inspectors of elections for the purpose of performing promptly a ministerial review of the validity of the demands and revocations.   For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no demands to call a special meeting of the shareholders shall be effective until such inspectors have completed their review, determined that the Requisite Percentage of valid and unrevoked demands delivered to the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2.2 and applicable law have been obtained, and certified such determination for entry in the records of the Corporation kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of shareholders.   Nothing contained in this Section 2.2.2 shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board of Directors or any shareholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any demand to call a special meeting of the shareholders or revocation thereof, whether before or after such certification by the independent inspectors, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive relief in such litigation).

2.2.3 Timing.

Every demand to call a special meeting of the shareholders shall bear the date of signature of each shareholder who signs the demand and no demand shall be effective unless, within sixty (60) days after the earliest dated demand received in accordance with this Section 2.2, a valid demand or valid demands signed by the Requisite Percentage of shareholders are delivered to the Corporation in the manner prescribed in this Section 2.2 and applicable law, and not revoked.

2.3 Place of Meetings

Any meeting of the shareholders for the election of directors shall be held at the office of the Corporation in Peoria, Illinois, unless the Board of Directors shall, by resolution, designate any other location, within or without the State of Illinois, as the place of such meeting.

Any meeting of shareholders for any other purpose may be held at such place, within or without the State of Illinois, and at such time as shall be determined pursuant to Section 2.2 Special Meetings .

2.4 Notice of Meetings

Written notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, or in the case of a merger, consolidation, share exchange, dissolution or sale, lease or exchange of assets not less than twenty (20) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary or the officer or persons calling the meeting, 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 such shareholder's address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, no notice of the adjourned meeting, other than an announcement at the meeting, need be given unless the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting after such adjournment.

2.5 Shareholder List

At least ten (10) days before every meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each such shareholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each such shareholder, shall be prepared by the Secretary. 

The list shall be open to examination of any shareholder of the Corporation, and to copying at the shareholder's expense, during ordinary business hours, for any purpose germane to the meeting during the ten (10) day period ending on the date of the meeting, at the office of the Corporation in Peoria, Illinois. The list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of meeting during the meeting and be subject to inspection by any shareholder for any purpose germane to the meeting.

2.6 Quorum

Except as otherwise provided by statute, the articles of incorporation or By-Laws, the holders of shares of the Corporation having a majority of the voting power thereof, present in person or represented by proxy, shall be requisite for, and shall constitute, a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation for the transaction of business.  If such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the shareholders entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present or represented.  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.

2.7 Proxies

A shareholder may vote such shareholder's shares in person or may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for such shareholder by signing an appointment form and delivering it to the person so appointed. 

No such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy.  Every proxy continues in full force and effect until revoked by the person executing it prior to the vote pursuant thereto, except as otherwise provided in this Section.  Such revocation may be affected by a writing delivered to the Corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or by attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the person executing the proxy.  The dates contained on the forms of proxy presumptively determine the order of execution, regardless of the postmark dates on the envelopes in which they are mailed.

An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless the appointment form conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest, as such term is defined by applicable law.  A transferee for value of shares subject to an irrevocable appointment may revoke the appointment if the transferee was ignorant of its existence when the shares were acquired and both the existence of the appointment and its irrevocability were not noted conspicuously on the certificate, or information statement for shares without certificates, representing the shares.

The death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing a proxy does not revoke the proxy’s authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the officer or agent who maintains the Corporation’s share transfer book before the proxy exercises such shareholder’s authority under the appointment

Unless the appointment of a proxy contains an express limitation on the proxy's authority, the Corporation may accept the proxy's vote or other action as that of the shareholder making the appointment.  If the proxy appointed fails to vote or otherwise act in accordance with the appointment, the shareholder is entitled to such legal or equitable relief as is appropriate in the circumstances.

2.8 Voting

Except as otherwise provided by the articles of incorporation, each shareholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of the Corporation entitled to vote thereat and registered in the name of such shareholder on the books of the Corporation on the referent record date.  No holder of any class or series of shares of this Corporation shall have cumulative voting rights with respect to any matter voted upon by the holders of such shares.

If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on a matter shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by the Illinois Business Corporation Act of 1983 or the articles of incorporation, as in effect on the date of such determination.

2.9 Voting of Certain Shares

Shares standing in the name of another corporation, and entitled to vote may be voted by such officer, agent, or proxy as the by-laws of such corporation may prescribe or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine.  Shares standing in the name

of a deceased person, a minor or an incompetent and entitled to vote may be voted by such person's administrator, executor, guardian or conservator, as the case may be, either in person or by proxy.  Shares standing in the name of a trustee, receiver or pledgee and entitled to vote may be voted by such trustee, receiver or pledgee either in person or by proxy as provided by applicable law.

2.10 Action Without Meeting

Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders, or any action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting and without a vote if a consent in writing, expressing the action so taken, shall be signed: if five (5) days prior notice of the proposed action is given in writing to all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof, by the holders of outstanding shares 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 shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voting; or, by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.

2.10.1 Fixing Date for Determination of Shareholders of Record.

In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders 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 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.   Any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request that the Board of Directors fix a record date.    The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten (10) days after the date on which such written notice is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date (unless a record date has previously been fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.10.1).   If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.10.1 or otherwise within ten (10) after the date on which such written notice is received, the record date for determining shareholders 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 after the expiration of such ten (10) day time period on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Illinois, its principal place of business, or to any officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded.   If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.10.1, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

2.10.2 Inspection of Consents

In the event of the delivery, in the manner provided by this Section 2.10 and applicable law, to the Corporation of written consent or consents to take corporate action and/or any related revocation or revocations, the Corporation shall engage independent inspectors of elections for the purpose of

performing promptly a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and revocations.  For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no action by written consent and without a meeting shall be effective until such inspectors have completed their review, determined that the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents delivered to the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2.10 and applicable law have been obtained to authorize or take the action specified in the consents, and certified such determination for entry in the records of the Corporation kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of shareholders.   Nothing contained in this Section 2.10.2 shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board of Directors or any shareholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any consent or revocation thereof, whether before or after such certification by the independent inspectors, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive relief in such litigation).

2.10.3  Timing.

Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each shareholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days after the earliest dated written consent received in accordance with this Section 2.10, a valid written consent or valid written consents, signed by a sufficient number of shareholders to take such action, are delivered to the Corporation in the manner prescribed in this section 2.10 and applicable law, and not revoked.

2.10.4 Notice.

Prompt notice of the taking of Corporation action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given in writing to those shareholders who have not consented in writing.  If the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under applicable law if such action had been voted on by the shareholders at a meeting thereof, the certificate filed shall state, in lieu of any statement required by applicable law, concerning any vote of shareholders, that written consent has been given in accordance with the provisions of this Section and that written notice has been given as provided in this Section.
