transferable only upon its books by the holders thereof in person or by their

ARTICLE
VII: INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
SECTION
7.01. INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to the indemnification provisions set forth
in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and to the extent
not inconsistent with such Articles of Incorporation, each person who was or
is
made a party or is threatened to be made a party or is involved in any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person
of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer,
of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as
a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to
employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action
in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any
other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall
be
indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent
authorized by Nevada law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but,
in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment
permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said
law
permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all
expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA
excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement)
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and
such
indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs,
executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in
paragraph (b) hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking
indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated
by
such person only if such person proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized
by
the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification
conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right
to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such
proceeding in advance of its final disposition: provided, however, that, if
Nevada law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or
officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other
capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director
or
officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan)
in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon
delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director
or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified
under
this Section or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of
Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation
with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors
and
officers.
SECTION
7.02. RIGHT TO SUE. If a claim under Section 7.01 is not paid in full by the
Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the
Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in
whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense
of
prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than
an
action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any
proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking,
if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant
has
not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under Nevada law
for
the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden
of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of
the
Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or
its
stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances
because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Nevada
law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant
has
not met such applicable standard or conduct, shall be a defense to the action
or
create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard
or
conduct.
SECTION
7.03. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The rights conferred on any person in Sections
7.01 and 7.02 shall not be exclusive of any other right which such persons
may
have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of
Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise.
SECTION
7.04. INSURANCE. The Corporation may maintain insurance to the extent reasonably
available at commercially reasonable rates (in the judgment of the Board of
Directors), at its expense, to protect itself and any such director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person
against such expense, liability or loss under Nevada law.
SECTION
7.05. EFFECT OR AMENDMENT. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any
provision of this Article VII which reduces or eliminates the rights of any
director, officer, employee or agent under this Article VII shall apply only
to
acts, omissions, events or occurrences that take place after the effectiveness
of such amendment, repeal or modification, regardless of when any action, suit
or proceeding is commenced, and shall not affect the rights of any director,
officer, employee or agent with respect to acts, omissions, events or
occurrences that take place prior to the effectiveness of such amendment, repeal
or modification.
ARTICLE
VIII: MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION
8.01. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be determined by
resolution of the Board of Directors.
SECTION
8.02. SEAL. The corporate seal shall have the name of the Corporation inscribed
thereon and shall be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the

SECTION
8.03. WAIVER OF NOTICE OF MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS, DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES.
Any written waiver of notice, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether
before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice.
Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of
such
meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of
objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business
because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business
to
be transacted at, nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of the
stockholders, directors, or members of a committee or directors need be
specified in any written waiver of notice.
SECTION
8.04. INTERESTED DIRECTORS. Any director or officer individually, or any
partnership of which any director or officer may be a member, or any corporation
or association of which any director or officer may be an officer, director,
trustee, employee or stockholder, may be a part to, or may be pecuniarily or
otherwise interested in, any contract or transaction of the Corporation, and
in
the absence of fraud no contract or other transaction shall be thereby affected
or invalidated. Any director of the Corporation who is so interested, or who
is
also a director, officer, trustee, employee or stockholder of such other
corporate or association or a member of such partnership which is so interested,
may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Corporation which shall authorize any such contract
or
transaction, and may vote thereat to authorize any such contract or transaction,
with like force and, affect as if he were not such director, officer, trustee,
employee or stockholder of such other corporation or association or not so
interested or a member of a partnership so interested; provided that in case
a
director, or a partnership, corporation or association of which a director
is a
member, officer, director, trustee or employee is so interested, such fact
shall
be disclosed or shall have been known to the Board of Directors or a majority
thereof. This paragraph shall not be construed to invalidate any such contract
or transaction which would otherwise be valid under the common and statutory
law
applicable thereto.
SECTION
8.05. FORM OF RECORDS. Any records maintained by the Corporation in the regular
course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account, and minute
books, may be kept on, or be in the form of, magnetic media, photographs,
microphotographs, or any other information storage device, provided that the
records so kept can be converted into clearly legible form within a reasonable
time. The Corporation shall so convert any records so kept upon the request
of
any person entitled to inspect the same.
SECTION
8.06. AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers
conferred by the laws of the State of Nevada, the Board of Directors is
expressly authorized and empowered to adopt, amend, alter, change, rescind
and
repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation in whole or in part. Except where the
Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation requires a higher vote, the Bylaws
of the Corporation may also be adopted, amended, altered, changed, rescinded
or
repealed in whole or in part at any annual or special meeting of the
stockholders by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the shares of the
Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.
SECTION
8.07. REPRESENTATION OF SHARES OF OTHER CORPORATIONS. The Chief Executive
Officer, the President or any Vice-President of this Corporation are authorized
to vote, represent and exercise on behalf of this Corporation all rights
incident to any and all shares of any other corporation or corporations standing
in the name of this Corporation. The authority herein granted to said officers
to vote or represent on behalf of this Corporation any and all shares held
by
this Corporation in any other corporation or corporations may be exercised
either by such officers in person or by any person authorized so to do by proxy
or power of attorney duly executed by said officers.
