shall be held within 180 days after the end of the corporation's fiscal year 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

Section 2.03 Place of Meetings. The board of directors may designate
any place, either within or without the state of incorporation, as the place of
meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the board of
directors. A waiver of notice signed by all stockholders entitled to vote at a

noticed, and whether before, during, or after the meeting) by 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,
consent, or approval 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: (i)
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or
any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting; (ii) 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 (iii)
stockholders of the corporation for any other lawful purpose, 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 60 days
and, in case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than 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 10 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 10 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 principal
executive office of the corporation. 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. Stock representing a majority of the voting power
of all outstanding stock of the corporation 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
power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than
announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At
such reconvened meeting at which a quorum is 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 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 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 conferred 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 six months from its
date, unless the proxy is coupled with an interest, or unless the proxy provides
for a longer period not to exceed seven years.
Section 2.12 Nomination of Directors. Only persons who are nominated in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this section shall be eligible for
election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the board of
directors of the corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders at which
directors are to be elected only by or at the direction of the board of
directors or by any stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote for the
election of directors at a meeting who complies with the notice procedures set
forth in this section. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the
direction of the board of directors, shall be made by timely notice in writing
to the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must
be delivered or mailed to and received at the registered office of the
corporation not less than 30 days prior to the date of the meeting; provided, in
the event that less than 40 days' notice of the date of the meeting is given or
made to stockholders, to be timely, a stockholder's notice must be so received
not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which
such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed. Such stockholder's notice
shall set forth (a) as to each person whom such stockholder proposes to nominate
for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to such
person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election
of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including each such
person's written consent to serve as a director if elected); and (b) as to the
stockholder giving the notice (i) the name and address of such stockholder as it
appears on the corporation's books, and (ii) the class and number of shares of
the corporation's capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder.
At the request of the board of directors, any person nominated by the board of
directors for election as a director shall furnish to the secretary of the
corporation that information required to be set forth in a stockholder's notice
of nomination that pertains to the nominee. No person shall be eligible for
election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with
the provisions of this section. The officer of the corporation or other person
presiding at the meeting shall, if the facts so warrant, determine and declare
to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with such
provisions, and if such officer should so determine, such officer shall so
declare to the meeting, and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
Section 2.13 Inspectors of Election. There shall be appointed at least
one inspector of the vote for each stockholders' meeting. Such inspector(s)
shall first take and subscribe an oath or affirmation faithfully to execute the
duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to
the best of their ability. Unless appointed in advance of any such meeting by
the board of directors, such inspector(s) shall be appointed for the meeting by
the presiding officer. No director or candidate for the office of director shall
be appointed as such inspector. Such inspector(s) shall be responsible for
tallying and certifying each vote required to be tallied and certified by them
as provided in the resolution of the board of directors appointing them or in
their appointment by the person presiding at such meeting, as the case may be.

Section 2.14 Election of Directors. At all meetings of the stockholders
at which directors are to be elected, except as otherwise set forth in any
preferred stock designation (as defined in the articles of incorporation) with
respect to the right of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock to
elect additional directors under specified circumstances, directors shall be
elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. The election need not
be by ballot unless any stockholder so demands before the voting begins. Except
as otherwise provided by law, the articles of incorporation, any preferred stock
designation, or these bylaws, all matters other than the election of directors
submitted to the stockholders at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of
the votes cast with respect thereto.
Section 2.15 Business at Annual Meeting. At any annual meeting of the
stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought
before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by any
stockholder of the corporation who is entitled to vote with respect thereto and
who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this section. For business
to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the
stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of
the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered or
mailed to and received at the registered offices of the corporation not less
than 30 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, in the event
that less than 40 days' notice of the date of the meeting is given or made to

such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed. 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 matter desired to
be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for presenting such matter
at the annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the
corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing such matter, (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
matter. Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no matter
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 other
person presiding at the annual meeting shall, if the facts so warrant, determine
and declare to the meeting that a matter was not properly brought before the
meeting in accordance with such provisions, and such matter shall not be
presented or voted on by the stockholders.
Section 2.16 Business at Special Meeting. At any special meeting of the
stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been stated in

taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or
any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such
stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without
a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be
signed by the holders of outstanding stock 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 voted.
Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less
than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not
consented in writing.

DIRECTORS
Section 3.01 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 3.02 Number, Term, and Qualifications. The number of directors
which shall constitute the board, subject to the limitations set forth in the
articles of incorporation, shall be determined by resolution of a majority of
the total number of directors if there were no vacancies (the "Whole Board") or,
if there are fewer directors than a majority of the Whole Board, by the
unanimous consent of the remaining directors or by the stockholders at the
annual meeting of the stockholders or a special meeting called for such purpose,
except as provided in section 3.03 of this article, which such resolution shall
be incorporated by this reference into and shall be a part of these bylaws. Each
director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified.
Directors need not be residents of the state of incorporation or stockholders of
the corporation.

articles of incorporation provide otherwise, vacancies and newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors
may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a

shall hold office for the unexpired term of such director's predecessor in
office and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or, if such

meeting of stockholders at which directors are elected. If there are no
directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner

section shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
Section 3.07 Notice. Notice of any special meeting can be given at
least 72 hours prior thereto by written notice delivered personally or sent by
facsimile transmission confirmed by registered mail or certified mail, postage
prepaid, or by overnight courier to each director. Any such notice shall be
deemed to have been given as of the date so personally delivered or sent by
facsimile transmission or as of the day following dispatch by overnight courier.
Each director shall register his or her address and telephone number(s) with the
secretary for purpose of receiving notices. 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. An entry of the service of notice
given in the manner and at the time provided for in this section may be made in
the minutes of the proceedings of the board of directors, and such entry, if
read and approved at a subsequent meeting of the board of directors, shall be
conclusive on the issue of notice.

the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further
notice.

present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board
of directors, and individual directors shall have no power as such.

shall be compensated for their services in such amounts and manner and shall be
reimbursed their expenses as authorized from time to time by resolution of the

other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
Section 3.11 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 unless he 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 3.13 Written Consent to Action by Directors. Any action
required to be taken at a meeting of the directors of the corporation or any

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

checks, endorsements, and, subject to the provisions of these bylaws, evidences
of indebtedness of the corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers
or such agent or agents of the corporation and in such manner as the board of
directors from time to time may determine. Endorsements for deposit to the

the seal of the corporation. The seal may be a facsimile, engraved or printed.
Where such bond or debenture is authenticated with the manual signature of an
authorized officer of the corporation, or other trustee designated by an
indenture of trust or other agreement under which such security is issued, the
signature of any of the corporation's officers named thereon may be a facsimile.
In case any officer who signed or whose facsimile signature has been used on any
such bond or debenture shall cease to be an officer of the corporation for any
reason before the same has been delivered by the corporation, such bond or
debenture may nevertheless be adopted by the corporation and issued and
delivered as through the person who signed it or whose facsimile signature has
been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer.

by any vice-president and the secretary or assistant secretary, or by any
officer or agent thereunto authorized by the board of directors.

corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by the president or
any vice-president and the secretary or assistant secretary, and sealed with the
seal (which may be a facsimile, engraved or printed) of the corporation,
certifying the number and kind, class, or series of stock owned by him in the
corporation; provided, however, that where such a certificate is countersigned
by (a) a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent, or (b) registered by a
registrar, the signature of any such president, vice-president, secretary, or
assistant secretary may be a facsimile. In case any officer who shall have
10
signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on any
such certificate shall cease to be such officer of the corporation, for any
reason, before the delivery of such certificate by the corporation, such
certificate may nevertheless be adopted by the corporation and be issued and
delivered as though the person who signed it or whose facsimile signature or
signatures shall have been used thereon has not ceased to be such officer.
Certificates representing stock of the corporation shall be in such form as
provided by the statutes of the state of incorporation. There shall be entered
on the stock books of the corporation at the time of issuance of each share, the
number of the certificate issued, the name and address of the person owning the

and the date of issuance thereof. Every certificate exchanged or returned to the
corporation shall be marked "canceled" with the date of cancellation.

shall be made on the books of the corporation on authorization of the holder of
record thereof or by his attorney thereunto duly authorized by a power of
attorney duly executed in writing and filed with the secretary of the
corporation or its transfer agent, and on surrender of the certificate or
certificates, properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of
transfer, representing such stock. Except as provided by law, the corporation
and its 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.
Section 6.03 Regulations. Subject to the provisions of the articles of
incorporation, the board of directors may make such rules and regulations as
they may deem expedient concerning the issuance, transfer, redemption, and
registration of certificates for stock of the corporation.
Section 6.04 Maintenance of Stock Ledger at Principal Place of
Business. A stock ledger (or ledgers where more than one kind, class, or series
of stock is outstanding) shall be kept at the principal place of business of the
corporation, or at such other place as the board of directors shall determine,
containing the names alphabetically arranged of the stockholders of the
corporation, their addresses, their interest, the amount paid on their shares,
and all transfers thereof and the number and class of stock held by each. Such
stock ledgers shall at all reasonable hours be subject to inspection by persons
entitled by law to inspect the same.
Section 6.05 Transfer Agents and Registrars. The board of directors may
appoint one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars with respect to
the certificates representing stock of the corporation and may require all such
certificates to bear the signature of either or both. The board of directors may
from time to time define the respective duties of such transfer agents and
registrars. No certificate for stock shall be valid until countersigned by a
transfer agent, if at the date appearing thereon the corporation had a transfer
agent for such stock, and until registered by a registrar, if at such date the
corporation had a registrar for such stock.

date of any meeting of stockholders, the date for payment of any dividend, the
date for the allotment of rights, the date when any change or conversion or
exchange of capital stock shall go into effect, or a date in connection with
obtaining the consent of stockholders for any purpose.
(b) In lieu of closing the stock ledgers as aforesaid, the
board of directors may fix in advance a date, not less than 10 days and not
exceeding 60 days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders, the date
for the payment of any dividend, the date for the allotment of rights, the date
when any change or conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect,
or the date for obtaining the consent of the stockholders for any purpose, as a
record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to a notice of,
and to vote at, any such meeting and any adjournment thereof, entitled to
receive payment of any such dividend, to any such allotment of rights, to
exercise the rights in respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of
capital stock, or to give such consent.
11
(c) If the stock ledgers shall be closed or a record date set
for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of, or to vote
at, a meeting of stockholders, such books shall be closed for or such record
date shall be set as of a date at least 10 days immediately preceding such
meeting.
Section 6.07 Lost or Destroyed Certificates. The corporation may issue
a new certificate for stock of the corporation in place of any certificate
theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost or destroyed, and the board
of directors may, in its discretion, require the owner of the lost or destroyed
certificate or his legal representatives to give the corporation a bond in such
form and amount as the board of directors may direct and with such surety or
sureties as may be satisfactory to the board, and to indemnify the corporation
and its transfer agents and registrars, if any, against any claims that may be
made against it or any such transfer agent or registrar on account of the
issuance of the new certificate. A new certificate may be issued without
requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the board of directors, it is proper
to do so.

chairman of the executive committee, as the board may designate). The board of
directors shall have the power at any time to dissolve the executive committee,
to change the membership thereof, and to fill vacancies thereon. When the board

to be issued to individuals and the amount of consideration for which such
shares shall be issued not in excess of the number of shares authorized to be
issued by the board of directors).

it may, from time to time, deem proper and may determine the number of members,

committees as may be designated hereunder by the board of directors may fix
their 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

of its business as it shall from time to time deem necessary. It will keep a
record of its proceedings and shall report such proceedings to the board of
directors at the meeting of the board of directors' next following.
12
Section 7.04 Quorum and Manner of Acting. At all meetings of the
executive committee and of such other committees as may be designated hereunder
by the board of directors, the presence of members constituting a majority of
the total membership of the committee shall be necessary and sufficient to
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority
of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the
act of such committee. The members of the executive committee and of such other
committees as may be designated hereunder by the board of directors shall act
only as a committee, and the individual members thereof shall have no powers as
such.
Section 7.05 Resignations. Any member of the executive committee and of
such other committees as may be designated hereunder by the board of directors
may resign at any time by delivering a written resignation to either the board
of directors, the president, the secretary, or assistant secretary, or to the

committee or of any other committee designated by the board of directors
hereunder, by reason of disqualification, death, resignation, removal, or
otherwise, the remaining members shall, until the filling of such vacancy,

authority to do so is delegated to the board of directors by the Whole Board, by
action taken by a majority of the quorum of the board of directors.

expenses of attendance to any member of the executive committee or of any other

INSURANCE AND OFFICER AND DIRECTOR CONTRACTS
Section 8.01 Indemnification: Third-Party Actions. The corporation
shall indemnify any officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation (and, in the
discretion of the board of directors, may so indemnify a person by reason of the
fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other
enterprise), against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with any such action, suit, or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
13
Section 8.02 Indemnification: Corporate Actions. The corporation shall
indemnify any director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation (and, in the
discretion of the board of directors, may so indemnify a person by reason of the
fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the corporation or is or was
serving as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise), against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner
which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged by a
court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to
be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action
or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Section 8.03 Determination. To the extent that a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in sections
8.01 and 8.02 hereof, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. Any other indemnification
under sections 8.01 or 8.02 hereof, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by
the corporation only in a specific case in which a determination is made that
indemnification of the director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard or conduct set forth in
sections 8.01 or 8.02 hereof. Such determination shall be made either (i) by the
board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding, (ii) if such a quorum is
not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the
stockholders by a majority vote of a quorum of stockholders at any meeting duly
called for such purpose.
Section 8.04 Advances. Expenses incurred by an officer or director in
defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or
proceeding on receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized by this section.
Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid on such
terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.
Section 8.05 Scope of Indemnification. The indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, sections 8.01,
8.02, and 8.04:
(a) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, under
any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office; and
(b) shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or
ratified, continue as to a person who ceases to be a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.
14
Section 8.06 Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee,
or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of
his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify him against any such liability.
Section 8.07 Officer and Director Contracts. No contract or other
transaction between the corporation and one or more of its directors or officers
or between the corporation and any corporation, partnership, association, or
other organization in which one or more of the corporation's directors or
officers are directors, officers, or have a financial interest, is either void
or voidable solely on the basis of such relationship or solely because any such
director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board of
directors or a committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction or
solely because the vote or votes of each director or officer are counted for
such purpose, if:
(a) the material facts of the relationship or interest are
disclosed or known to the board of directors or committee and the board or
committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the
affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors even though the
disinterested directors be less than a quorum;
(b) the material facts of the relationship or interest is
disclosed or known to the stockholders and they approve or ratify the contract
or transaction in good faith by a majority vote of the shares voted at a meeting
of stockholders called for such purpose or written consent of stockholders
holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote (the votes of the common or
interested directors or officers shall be counted in any such vote of
stockholders); or
(c) the contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation
at the time it is authorized, approved, or ratified by the board of directors, a
committee thereof, or the stockholders.
