PART I


Item 1.  Description of Business


Business Development


We were incorporated on October 20, 2003 under the laws of the State of Nevada to initiate our business as a marketing, advertising and publishing company.


We have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.  We have not engaged in any other material re-classification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of significant assets not in the ordinary course of business.  Our company has a December 31 fiscal year end.


Description of our Business


(i)

Our Principal Products and Their Markets


We are a marketing and advertising service provider.  Primarily, we design marketing and advertising campaigns for corporate clients wishing to increase awareness of their products, services, corporate image and general corporate branding.  Since marketing and advertising is an extensive business across many business sectors, we have focused our niche primarily in direct target marketing.


We conduct our business through our offices in Phoenix, Arizona and intend to gradually increase our availability to corporate clients across North America in part through increased internet exposure as well as through traditional sales calls.  We work with a number of freelance designers, writers, and editors which enables us to react to customer demands without the need to incur large fixed overhead costs.  Thus, our day-to-day costs of business are minimal and we are able to quickly expand our operations if we are engaged by larger clients.


We make and receive direct sales calls in our Phoenix office.  We design marketing and branding campaigns in conjunction with our clients and rely in part on our ability to custom-design marketing solutions in response to client’s needs to help us secure additional business.  We have sufficient funding for our current needs and will consider expansion through the acquisition of similar companies in cash or stock transactions.


Our primary goal is to strengthen our position as a regional marketing and advertising service provider and to become a national service provider.  We believe that by maintaining our “hands-on” custom-designed marketing solutions, our plans for growth are realistic.


(ii)

Distribution methods of our products and services.


Our office in Phoenix is sufficient to support our current levels of business activity, and can support increased levels of activity.  Ultimately, we plan to build and maintain an internet presence as a method of introducing our marketing services to wider geographical areas at minimal cost.


After consultations with our clients, we produce mock-ups of intended advertising material.  The freelance writers, designers, and editors who we work with create complete advertisements or marketing packages that are then printed in whatever quantity our client requests.  We work with data management companies to gain access to individuals who have expressed interest in our client’s company, services or products.  Finally, the advertisement is sent via U.S. Mail.


(iii)

Status of any publicly announced new product or service.




4


We have no plans for new products or services that we do not already offer.


(iv)

Competitive business conditions and our competitive position in the industry and methods of competition.


Marketing and advertising is a mature, wide-ranging business.  As such, we face extensive competition that is difficult to quantify.  We have hundreds or thousands of competitors.  There are few barriers for others to enter the marketing and advertising industry.  Our competitive position within our industry is determined by our ability to provide responsive marketing campaigns to our client’s satisfaction.  The unique intellectual approach we use in any given advertising campaign is the determining factor of our competitive stature.  In order to retain our clients' trust and grow our client list, we will have to develop creative advertising campaigns on a continual basis.


(v)

Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers.


Since we provide intellectual services and concepts, we directly receive no raw materials.  We do engage various sub-contractors in the U.S. to provide services such as design and editing.  We also engage commercial printers who provide paper and printing services.  Freelance writers, editors and designers are extensively available and we have no need to rely on exclusive agreements.  Commercial printers are also available for hire extensively across the U.S. at competitive rates and we do not intend to rely on any single subcontractor.  Management believes we enhance our competitiveness by not relying on single source subcontractors.


(vi)

Dependence on one or a few major customers.


At this early stage in our development, we will rely on only one or two major clients at any time.  Over the course of a calendar year, this may result in our company serving only five or six major clients and a few less significant clients.  Our intent is to expand our annual business to 15-20 major clients as we expand our sales efforts.


(vii)

Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts, including duration.


Our company does not own any patents or trademarks.  We are not party to any labor agreements or contracts.  Licenses, franchises, concessions and royalty agreements are not part of our business.  Depending upon the particular needs and demands of our clients, we may from time to time own the copyrights to the intellectual material we produce.  In this regard, our services can be protected from infringement by others and remain our exclusive property.


(viii)

Need for any government approval of principal products or services.


The marketing and advertising industries are governed by various state and federal laws.  We operate within all applicable laws.  There are no specific approvals which we require from any government or official agency with regard to our business of marketing.


(ix)

Effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on our business.


Management is unaware of any existing or probable government regulations which would have a positive or negative impact on our company's business.



5


(x)

Estimate of the amount spent during each of the last two fiscal years on research and development activities.


We have not expended any funds on research and development activities and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.


(xi)

Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws (federal, state and local).


We are not subject to compliance with any local, state or federal environmental laws.


(xii)

Number of total employees and number of full time employees.


We currently have two part time employees.  Our C.F.O. and Secretary, Mr. Gerald Tuskey, works for our company on a part time basis.  He devotes approximately 10 hours per month to our business.  Our C.E.O., Ms. Velda King, also works for our company on a part time basis but her workload will fluctuate and become a full time job when large job orders are received.  Ms. King initiates and accepts sales calls and processes and coordinates all the sub contractors and freelance consultants required to fulfil our client’s needs.


Item 2.  Plan of Operation


Our current working capital of approximately $130,000 is sufficient to fund the continuing operations and expansion of our business for the next 12 months.  It is also sufficient to pay the expenses associated with our reporting company obligations including increased accounting and legal fees.


We do not anticipate requirement for major capital expenditures during the next 12 months related to our ongoing business.  We do not conduct research and development and subcontract all actual production. Existing casual relationships with freelance designers and editors and their attendant costs are expected to remain constant.  We have sufficient office space to accommodate existing and expanded operations for the next 12 months.


Contract employees are hired as needed.  There are no immediate plans to hire permanent employees.  We do not store goods in warehouses as this is a function performed by the commercial printers whom we engage to produce and distribute our advertising materials.


The following is a discussion of our general plan of operation for the next 12 months.  This plan of operation will be implemented by our C.E.O. and is based on her prior experience in the publishing and marketing industries.


Our primary target market is mid-sized companies trying to build brand, product and/or service recognition for their products, services, and companies.  These mid-sized companies are large enough to be able to fund significant marketing efforts, yet small enough to be aware that they need to differentiate themselves from their competitors in order to excel in their particular market sectors.


Because of the size and evolution of our clients, they usually do not have more than one person in their own companies devoted to marketing and promotions.  They are aware of their marketing needs, but not able to fulfill those needs internally.  This is different from larger companies that frequently are capable of designing and fulfilling their marketing and advertising requirements in-house; or smaller companies that are not sufficiently large to develop the budgets required for effective direct marketing campaigns.



6


Thus, our services fit a real need for marketing expertise.  Our attention to detail and custom-designed advertising programs are generally beyond the capabilities of any of our client’s to perform in-house.  Because of this custom-designed marketing approach, our gross profit margins are higher than generic advertising approaches, and can reach levels of 30% or more depending on individual circumstances.


Our potential clients can exist in any business sector that relies on an appeal to individual retail customers or end-users of a product or service, or in any business that wishes to improve their public image or build their brand awareness in their particular marketplace.  For this reason, our clients could span virtually all business sectors.


Growth


We are a young company although we have seasoned professionals as management.  In our next 12 months of operation, our primary focus will be to solidify our market share in the Southwest United States.  Our secondary focus will be to initiate our business presence in new geographic regions in other areas of North America, initially through an internet build-up, and eventually through the opening of additional sales offices.


Management expects to be able to maintain current creative control and head office functions in our existing Phoenix office.  Because our business model currently relies on strong and diverse relationships with various subcontractors and freelance professionals, we believe we can accommodate expected growth rates with little or no requirements for additional capital or infrastructure.


Our rate of expected growth cannot be determined because it relies in large part on the general strength of the overall economy and the advertising and marketing needs of divergent sectors within the broader economy.  Fundamentally, it is the rates of growth and sales of our clients that determines our potential growth rate.  Eventually our rate of growth could slow, based on the demands upon the time of our key personnel.  If our revenue and project growth exceeds the capacity of current management to properly execute future marketing projects, then we will need to determine whether to engage additional full time senior management at that time.


Management considers its current ability to provide exceptional customer service with creative intellectual capital to be our strongest asset.  As long as we continue to deliver these attributes to clients, we believe our business can grow successfully.


Sales and Payment


All significant marketing projects commence when a sizable deposit has been made by the client.  We do not incur significant external expenses, nor do we contractually expose ourselves to significant external expenses with subcontractors, until such time as performance payments from our clients are received.  Thus, we generally are not exposed to significant cash flow risks.


As marketing service agreements are relatively short-term in nature, revenue is recognized when agreements are complete.  Expenses such as printing and postage are not incurred until our client has submitted progress payments to cover such expenses.  Revenue received is not refundable to the client and we do not make performance claims that could expose us to future liabilities.



7

Inventory and Shipping


We do not warehouse any kind of inventory because we provide mainly intellectual services, with actual finished goods provided by subcontractors.  Delivery of advertising medium is generally achieved via U.S. Post.


Item 3.  Description of Property


Office Premises


We operate from our offices at Suite C102, 10000 North 31 st Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona  85051.  Space is currently provided on a rent free basis by Velda King who is the President and Chief Executive Officer of our company.  Ms. King is not currently accruing rent.  This policy will be re-evaluated at the end of our first full fiscal year.  We are not a party to any lease.  It is anticipated that this arrangement will remain until we are able to generate significant revenue from operations and require additional space for warehousing or new employees.  Management believes that our current office space will meet our needs for the next 24 months.


Item 4.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management


The table below lists the beneficial ownership of our voting securities by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our securities, as well as the securities beneficially owned by all our directors and officers.  Unless specifically indicated, the shareholders listed possess sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

Item 7.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions


Our company has not entered into any related party transactions.


Item 8.  Description of Securities


Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares, of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.  There are 9,905,100 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this registration statement.


Common Stock


All shares of common stock have equal voting rights and are entitled to one vote per share in all matters to be voted upon by shareholders.  Our shares have no pre-emptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights and may be issued only as fully paid and non-assessable shares.  Cumulative voting in the election of directors is not permitted, which means that the holders of a majority of our issued shares represented at any meeting where a quorum is present will be able to elect the entire Board of Directors.  In that event, the holders of the remaining shares of common stock will not be able to elect any directors.  In the event of liquidation, each shareholder is entitled to receive a proportionate share of our assets available for distribution to shareholders after the payment of liabilities and after distribution of preferred amounts.  All shares of our common stock issued and outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable.  Holders of stock are entitled to share pro rata in dividends and distributions with respect to the common stock out of funds legally available for that purpose.


There are no outstanding options or warrants to acquire our shares.



11


PART II


Item 1.  Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters


There is no trading market for our common stock.  There has been no trading market to date.  Management has not discussed market making with any market maker or broker dealer.  We cannot guarantee that a trading market will ever develop or if a market does develop, that it will continue.


Market Price


Our common stock is not quoted at the present time.  The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a rule that established the definition of a "penny stock," as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:



In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must



The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form,



Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offering and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.  Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.


In general, under Rule 144, a person who has satisfied a one year holding period, under certain circumstances, may sell within any three-month period a number of shares which does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding common shares or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks before such sale.  Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any quantity limitation by a person who has satisfied a two-year holding period and who is not, and has not been for the preceding three months, an affiliate of our company.



12


Holders


There are fifty eight (58) holders of our common stock.


Dividends


We have not paid any dividends to date, and have no plans to do so in the immediate future.


Transfer Agent


We do not have a transfer agent at this time.


Item 2.  Legal Proceedings


We are not a party to any legal proceedings.


Item 3.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants


We have no changes in or disagreements with our accountants.


Item 4.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


On December 31, 2003, we issued 9,905,100 common shares at $0.01 per share to 58 subscribers.  9,872,100 of these shares were issued under Regulation S and 33,000 of these shares were issued under Rule 506 of Regulation D.  None of the purchasers who received shares under Regulation S are U.S. persons as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S, and no sales efforts were conducted in the U.S., in accordance with Rule 903(c).  Subscribers to the offering under Regulation S acknowledged that the securities purchased must come to rest outside the U.S., and the certificates contain a legend restricting the sale of such securities until the Regulation S holding period is satisfied.  The purchasers who received shares under Rule 506 of Regulation D warranted their eligibility as an "Accredited Investor" as that term is defined in Regulation D.


Item 5.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.


Article VI of our Bylaws states certain indemnification rights.  Our Bylaws provide that we possess and may exercise powers of indemnification for officers, directors, employees, agents and other persons.  Our Board of Directors is authorized and empowered to exercise all of our powers of indemnification, without shareholder action.  Our assets could be used to satisfy any liabilities subject to indemnification.


Under the NRS, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation which is not the case with our articles of incorporation.  Excepted from that immunity in our articles of incorporation are:


(a)

acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law;


or


13

(b)

the payment of dividends in violation of NRS78.300

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Pacific Alliance Ventures Ltd. as of December 31, 2003, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from October 20, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1.  Organization and Significant Accounting Policies


Organization


Pacific Alliance Ventures Ltd. ("the Company") is a marketing and advertising service provider.  The Company designs marketing and advertising campaigns for corporate clients wishing to increase awareness of their products, services, corporate image and general corporate branding.  


The Company conducts its business through offices in Phoenix, Arizona, and Vancouver, British Columbia, and intends to gradually increase its availability to corporate clients across North America.  The Company works with a number of freelance designers, writers, and editors who enable the Company to react to customer demands without the need to incur large fixed overhead costs.


The Company's offices are currently provided on a rent free basis by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  


The Company designs marketing and branding campaigns in conjunction with its clients and relies on its ability to custom-design marketing solutions in response to client's needs to secure additional business.


Cash


Cash includes cash balances held at a bank.  The Company, on occasion, has cash balances in excess of insured limits.  


No cash payments for interest or income taxes were made during the period from October 20, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.


Revenue Recognition


As marketing service agreements are relatively short-term in nature, revenue is recognized when agreements are complete.  Any costs incurred on agreements in process are deferred until the agreement is complete.  Also, any advance payments from customers are deferred until the agreement is complete.  


All revenue in 2003 was from one customer.  


Advertising Costs


Advertising costs will be expensed as incurred.




6





Taxes on Income


The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns.  In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.


Earnings per Share


Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period.  Diluted earnings per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive common shares.  There were no potentially dilutive securities during the period ended December 31, 2003.  


Comprehensive Income


There are no reconciling items between the net loss presented in the Statements of Operations and comprehensive loss as defined by SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company has no stock-based compensation arrangements.  Should it enter these types of arrangements, the Company intends to follow the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations.  Compensation cost for stock options granted to non-employees will be measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model at the date of grant multiplied by the number of options granted, amortized over the estimated life of the option.  This compensation cost will be recognized ratably over the vesting period.  


Segment Reporting


Management considers the Company to operate on only one business segment.  Accordingly, any disclosures required by SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," are already incorporated in other financial statement disclosures.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Financial instruments consist of cash.  The fair value of cash balances approximates their carrying amounts.



7




New Accounting Standards


New accounting standards issued through the date of the independent auditors' report do not have an effect on these financial statements.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from the estimates that were used.



Note 2.  Income Taxes


As there are no temporary or permanent tax differences, income tax on income computed at statutory rates equals income tax expense.


The Company had no deferred tax differences at December 31, 2003.

A Nevada Corporation




ARTICLE I

OFFICES


Section 1 .   PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OR BUSINESS OFFICES .  The Board of Directors shall fix the location of the principal executive office of the corporation at any place within or outside the State of Nevada.  If the principal executive office is located outside Nevada and the corporation has one or more business offices in Nevada, the Board of Directors shall fix and designate a principal business office in Nevada.


Section 2 .   OTHER OFFICES .  Branch or subordinate offices may be established at any time and at any place by the Board of Directors.


ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS


Section 1 .   PLACE OF MEETINGS .  Meetings of shareholders shall be held at any place within or outside the State of Nevada designated by the Board of Directors.  In the absence of a designation by the Board, shareholders' meetings shall be held at the corporation's principal executive office.


Section 2 .   ANNUAL MEETING .  The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated by the Board of Directors.


The date so designated shall be within three months after the end of the corporation's fiscal year, and within fifteen months after the last annual meeting.


At each annual meeting, Directors shall be elected and any other proper business within the power of the shareholders may be transacted.


Section 3.   SPECIAL MEETINGS.  Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, by the Chair of the Board, by the President or a Vice President, or by one or more shareholders holding shares that in the aggregate are entitled to cast ten percent or more of the votes at that meeting.


If a special meeting is called by anyone other than the Board of Directors, the person or persons calling the meeting shall make a request in writing, delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or other facsimile transmission, to the Chair of the Board or the President, Vice President, or Secretary, specifying the time and date of the meeting (which is not less than 35 nor more than 60 days after receipt of the request) and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted.  Within 20 days after receipt, the officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be given to the shareholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Article II, stating that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person(s) calling the meeting, and stating the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted.  If notice is not given within 20 days after receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the notice.  Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of shareholders called by action of the Board may be held.



2


Section 4.   NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS .  All notices of meetings of shareholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with the requirements of Section 5 of this Article II and shall not be fewer than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting.  Shareholders entitled to notice shall be determined in accordance with the provision of Section 11 of this Article II.  The notice shall specify the place, date, and hour of the meeting, and (i) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted, or (ii) in the case of the annual meeting, those matters that the Board of Directors, at the time of giving the notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders.  If Directors are to be elected, the notice shall include the names of all nominees whom the Board intends, at the time of the notice, to present for election.


The notice shall also state the general nature of any proposed action to be taken at the meeting to approve any of the following matters:


(i)

A transaction in which a Director has a financial interest;


(ii)

An amendment of the Articles of Incorporation;


(iii)

A reorganization;


(iv)

A voluntary dissolution; or


(v)

A distribution in dissolution that requires approval of the outstanding shares.


Section 5 .   MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE: AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE.  Notice of any shareholders' meeting shall be given either personally or by first-class mail or telegraphic or other written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the address appearing on the corporation's books or given by the shareholder to the corporation for purposes of notice.  If no address appears on the corporation's books or has been given as specified above, notice shall be either (1) sent by first-class mail addressed to the shareholder at the corporation's principal executive office, or (2) published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the corporation's principal executive office is located.  Notice is deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication.


If any notice or report mailed to a shareholder at the address appearing on the corporation's books is returned marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the document to the shareholder at that address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if the corporation holds the document available for the shareholder on written demand at the corporation's principal executive office for a period of one year from the date the notice or report was given to all other shareholders.


An affidavit of the mailing, or other authorized means of giving notice or delivering a document, of any notice of shareholders' meeting, report, or other document sent to shareholders, may be executed by the corporation's Secretary, Assistant Secretary, or transfer agent, and, if executed, shall be filed and maintained in the minute book of the corporation.


Section 6 .   QUORUM .  No business, other than the election of a chairman and the adjournment or termination of the meeting, shall be conducted at any general meeting at any time when a quorum is not present.  If at any time during a general or special meeting there ceases to be a quorum present, any business then in progress shall be suspended until there is a quorum present or until the meeting is adjourned or terminated, as the case may be.  A quorum shall be two members present in person or by



3


proxy or being a corporation represented by a natural person authorized by directors' resolution holding not less than one voting share of the Company.


Section 7.   ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE .  Any shareholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at that meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at that meeting, except as provided in Section 6 of this Article II.


When any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice of the adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, or unless the adjournment is for more than 45 days from the date set for the original meeting, in which case the Board of Directors shall set a new record date.  Notice of any such adjourned meeting, if required, shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Article II.  At any adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.


Section 8.   VOTING.  The shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of this Article II.  The shareholders' vote may be by voice vote or by ballot, provided, however, that any election for Directors must be by ballot if demanded by any shareholder before the voting has begun.  On any matter other than the election of Directors, any shareholder may vote part of the shares the shareholder is to vote in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, but, if the shareholder fails to specify the number of shares that the shareholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the shareholder's approving vote is with respect to all shares that the shareholder is entitled to vote.  If a quorum is present (or if a quorum has been present earlier at the meeting but some shareholders have withdrawn), the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting, provided such shares voting affirmatively also constitute a majority of the number of shares required for a quorum, shall be the act of the shareholders unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation.


At a shareholders' meeting at which Directors are to be elected, no shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for any candidate a number of votes greater than the number of votes which that shareholder normally would be entitled to cast), unless the candidates' names have been placed in nomination before commencement of the voting and a shareholder has given notice at the meeting, before the voting has begun, of the shareholder's intention to cumulate votes.  If any shareholder has given such a notice, then all shareholders entitled to vote may cumulate their votes for candidates in nomination, and may give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of Directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which that shareholder's shares are normally entitled, or distribute the shareholder's votes on the same principle among any or all of the candidates, as the shareholder thinks fit.  The candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of Directors to be elected, shall be elected.


Section 9.   WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT SHAREHOLDERS.  The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed and wherever held, shall be as valid as though they were had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if each person entitled to vote who was not present in person or by proxy, either before or after the meeting, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes of the meeting.


A shareholder's attendance at a meeting also constitutes a waiver of notice of that meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to the transaction of any business on the ground that



4


the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.  In addition, attendance at a meeting does not constitute a waiver of any right to object to consideration of matters required by law to be included in the notice of the meeting which were not so included, if that objection is expressly made at the meeting.


Section 10.   SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING.   Any action that could be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on that action were present and voted.


Directors may be elected by written consent of the shareholders without a meeting and vacancies on the Board (other than vacancies created by removal) not filled by the Board may be filled by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.


All consents shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records.  Any shareholder or other authorized person who has given a written consent may revoke it by a writing received by the Secretary of the corporation before written consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the Secretary.


Unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been solicited in writing, prompt notice shall be given of any corporate action approved by shareholders without a meeting by less than unanimous consent, to those shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented in writing.


Section 11 .   RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDER NOTICE OF MEETING, VOTING, AND GIVING CONSENT.


(a)

For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at a shareholders' meeting or give written consent to corporate action without a meeting, the Board may fix in advance a record date that is not more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of a shareholders' meeting, or not more than 60 days before any other action.


(b)

If no record date is fixed:


(i)

The record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at a shareholders' meeting shall be the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived as provided in Section 9 of this Article II, the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.


(ii)

The record date for determining shareholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, if no prior action has been taken by the Board, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given.


(iii)

The record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be as set forth in Section 1 of Article VIII of these Bylaws.


(c)

A determination of shareholders of record entitled to receive notice of and vote at a shareholders' meeting shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.  However, the Board shall fix a new record date if the adjournment is to a date more than 45 days after the date set for the original meeting.


(d)

Only shareholders of record on the corporation's books at the close of business on the record date shall be entitled to any of the notice and voting rights listed in subsection (a) of this section, notwithstanding any transfer of shares on the corporation's books after the record date, except as otherwise required by law.



5


Section 12.   PROXIES.  Every person entitled to vote for Directors or on any other matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the Secretary of the corporation.  A proxy shall be deemed signed if the shareholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission, or otherwise) by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney in fact.  A validly executed proxy that does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the person executing it, before the vote pursuant to that proxy, by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked, or by attendance at the meeting and voting in person by the person executing the proxy or by a subsequent proxy executed by the same person and presented at the meeting; or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that proxy is received by the corporation before the vote pursuant to that proxy is counted; provided, however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 6 months from the date of the proxy, unless coupled with an interest.  The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by NRS 78.355.


Section 13.   INSPECTORS OF ELECTION.  Before any meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may appoint any persons other than nominees for office to act as inspectors of election at the meeting or its adjournment.  If no inspectors of election are so appointed, the Chair of the meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder or a shareholder's proxy shall, appoint Inspectors of Election at the meeting.  The number of Inspectors shall be either one or three.  If Inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more shareholders or proxies, the holders of a majority of shares or their proxies present at the meeting shall determine whether one or three Inspectors are to be appointed.  If any person appointed as Inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the Chair of the meeting may, and upon the request of any shareholder or a shareholder's proxy shall, appoint a person to fill that vacancy.


These Inspectors shall: (a) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies; (b) receive votes, ballots, or consents; (c) hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; (d) count and tabulate all votes or consents; (e) determine when the polls shall close; (f) determine the result; and (g) do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.


ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS


Section 1.   POWERS.  Subject to the provisions of the Nevada General Corporation Law and any limitations in the Articles of Incorporation and these Bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the shareholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.


Without prejudice to these general powers, and subject to the same limitations, the Board of Directors shall have the power to:


(a)

Select and remove all officers, agents, and employees of the corporation; prescribe any powers and duties for them that are consistent with law, with the Articles of Incorporation, and with these Bylaws; fix their compensation; and require from them security for faithful service.


(b)

Change the principal executive office or the principal business office in the State of Nevada from one location to another; cause the corporation to be qualified to do business in any other state, territory, dependency, or country and conduct business within or outside the State of Nevada; and designate any place within or outside the State of Nevada for holding any shareholders' meeting or meetings, including Annual Meetings.

 


 

 

(c)

Adopt, make and use a corporate seal; prescribe the forms of certificates of stock; and alter the form of the seal and certificates.


(d)

Authorize the issuance of shares of stock of the corporation on any lawful terms, in consideration of money paid, labor done, services actually rendered, debts or securities cancelled, or tangible or intangible property actually received.


(e)

Borrow money and incur indebtedness on behalf of the corporation, and cause to be executed and delivered for the corporation's purposes, in the corporate name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds of trust, mortgages, pledges, hypothecations, and other evidences of debt and securities.


Section 2.   NUMBER OF DIRECTORS.  The number of Directors shall be no fewer than one (1) nor more than five (5).  The exact number of authorized Directors shall be two (2) until changed, within the limits specified above, by a Bylaw amending this section, duly adopted by the Board of Directors, or the shareholders.  The maximum or minimum number of Directors cannot be changed, nor can a fixed number be substituted for the maximum and minimum numbers, except by a duly adopted amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or by an amendment to this Bylaws duly adopted by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.  However, once shares have been issued to more than two (2) shareholders, an amendment that would reduce the authorized number of Directors to a number fewer than five cannot be adopted if the votes cast against its adoption at a shareholders' meeting or the shares not consenting to an action by written consent are equal to more than one-sixth (16 2/3%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.


Section 3 .   ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS.  Directors shall be elected at each Annual Meeting of the shareholders to hold office until the next Annual Meeting.  Each Director, including a Director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until a successor has been elected and qualified.


No reduction of the authorized number of Directors shall have the effect of removing any Director before that Director's term of office expires.


Section 4.   VACANCIES.  A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist: (a) if a Director dies, resigns, or is removed by the shareholders or an appropriate court, as provided in NRS 78.335 and 78.345; (b) if the Board of Directors declares vacant the office of a Director who has been convicted of a felony or declared of unsound mind by an order of court; (c) if the authorized number of Directors is increased; or (d) if at any shareholders' meeting at which one or more Directors are elected the shareholders fail to elect the full authorized number of Directors to be voted for at that meeting.


Any Director may resign effective on giving written notice to the Chair of the Board, the President, the Secretary, or the Board of Directors, unless the notice specifies a later effective date.  If the resignation is effective at a future time, the Board may elect a successor to take office when the resignation becomes effective.


Except for a vacancy caused by the removal of a Director, vacancies on the Board may be filled by approval of the Board or, if the number of Directors then in office is less than a quorum, by (1) the unanimous written consent of the Directors then in office, (2) the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office at a meeting held pursuant to notice or waivers of notice complying with NRS 78.370 and & 78.375, or (3) a sole remaining Director.  A vacancy on the Board caused by the removal of a Director may be filled only by the shareholders, except that a vacancy created when the Board declares the office of a Director vacant as provided in clause (b) of the first paragraph of this section of the Bylaws may be filled by the Board of Directors.



7


The shareholders may elect a Director at any time to fill a vacancy not filled by the Board of Directors.


The term of office of a Director elected to fill a vacancy shall run until the next annual meeting of the shareholders, and such a Director shall hold office until a successor is elected and qualified.


Section 5.   PLACE OF MEETINGS; TELEPHONE MEETINGS.  Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at any place within or outside the State of Nevada as designated from time to time by the Board.  In the absence of a designation, regular meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation.  Special meetings of the Board shall be held at any place within or outside the State of Nevada designated in the notice of the meeting, or if the notice does not state a place, or if there is no notice, at the principal executive office of the corporation.  Any meeting, regular or special, may be held by conference telephone or similar communication equipment, provided that all Directors participating can hear one another.


Section 6.   ANNUAL DIRECTORS' MEETING.  Immediately after each annual shareholders' meeting, the Board of Directors shall hold a regular meeting at the same place, or at any other place that has been designated by the Board of Directors, to consider matters of organization, election of officers, and other business as desired.  Notice of this meeting shall not be required unless some place other than the place of the annual shareholders' meeting has been designated.


Section 7 .   OTHER REGULAR MEETINGS.  Other regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held without call at times to be fixed by the Board of Directors from time to time.  Such regular meetings may be held without notice.


Section 8 .   SPECIAL MEETINGS.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called for any purpose or purposes at any time by the Chair of the Board, the President, any Vice President, the Secretary, or any two Directors.


Special meetings shall be held on four days' notice by mail or forty-eight hours' notice delivered personally or by telephone or telegraph.  Oral notice given personally or by telephone may be transmitted either to the Director or to a person at the Director's office who can reasonably be expected to communicate it promptly to the Director.  Written notice, if used, shall be addressed to each Director at the address shown on the corporation's records.  The notice need not specify the purpose of the meeting, nor need it specify the place if the meeting is to be held at the principal executive office of the corporation.


Section 9.   QUORUM.  A majority of the authorized number of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except to adjourn as provided in Section 11 of this Article III.  Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the Directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board of Directors.


Section 10.   WAIVER OF NOTICE.  Notice of a meeting, although otherwise required, need not be given to any Director who (i) either before or after the meeting signs a waiver of notice or a consent to holding the meeting without being given notice; (ii) signs an approval of the minutes of the meeting; or (iii) attends the meeting without protesting the lack of notice before or at the beginning of the meeting.  Waivers of notice or consents need not specify the purpose of the meeting.  All waivers, consents, and approvals of the minutes shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.


Section 11.   ADJOURNMENT TO ANOTHER TIME OR PLACE.  Whether or not a quorum is present, a majority of the Directors present may adjourn any meeting to another time or place.



8

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS,

EMPLOYEES, AND OTHER AGENTS


Section 1 .   AGENTS, PROCEEDINGS, AND EXPENSES.  For the purposes of this Article, "agent" means any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee, or other agent of this corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of this corporation as a Director, officer, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or who was a Director, officer, employee, or agent of a foreign or domestic corporation that was a predecessor corporation of this corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation; "proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative; and "expenses" includes, without limitation, attorney fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under Section 4 or Section 5(d) of this Article VI.


Section 2.   ACTIONS OTHER THAN BY THE CORPORATION.  This corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of this corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of this corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding if that person acted in good faith and in a manner that the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of this corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of that person was unlawful.  The termination of any 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 that the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of this corporation or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was not unlawful.


Section 3 .   ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION .  This corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action by or in the right of this corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of this corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of that action, if such person acted in good faith, in a manner such person believed to be in the best interests of this corporation and its shareholders.  No indemnification shall be made under this Section 3 for the following:


(a)

With respect to any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to this corporation in the performance of such person's duty to the corporation and its shareholders, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding is or was pending shall determine on application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses and then only to the extent that the court shall determine;


(b)

Amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a pending action without court approval; or


(c)

Expenses incurred in defending a pending action that is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval.



12


Section 4.   SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE BY AGENT .  To the extent that an agent of this corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 2 or 3 of this Article VI, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, the agent shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in connection therewith.


Section 5.   REQUIRED APPROVAL.  Except as provided in Section 4 of this Article VI, any indemnification under this Section shall be made by the corporation only if authorized in the specific case, after a determination that indemnification of the agent is proper in the circumstances because the agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 2 or 3 by one of the following:


(a)

A majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who are not parties to such proceeding;


(b)

Independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of Directors who are not parties to such a proceeding is not available;


(c)

(i)

The affirmative vote of a majority of shares of this corporation entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present; or


(ii)

the written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote (for purposes of this subsection 5(c), the shares owned by the person to be indemnified shall not be considered outstanding or entitled to vote thereon); or


(d)

The court in which the proceeding is or was pending, on application made by this corporation or the agent or the attorney or other person rendering services in connection with the defense, whether or not such application by the agent, attorney, or other person is opposed by this corporation.


Section 6.   ADVANCE OF EXPENSES.  Expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced by the corporation before the final disposition of such proceeding on receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the agent to repay such amounts if it shall be determined ultimately that the agent is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article VI.  By unanimous vote of all Directors, other than a Director who may be a party to such proceeding, this provision requiring an undertaking may be waived; provided, however, that such waiver shall not relieve the agent of liability.


Section 7 .   OTHER CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS .  The indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested Directors, or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, to the extent such additional rights to indemnification are authorized in the articles of the corporation.  Nothing in this section shall affect any right to indemnification to which persons other than such Directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise.


Section 8 .   LIMITATIONS.  No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Article VI, except as provided in Section 4 or Section 5(d), in any circumstance if it appears:


(a)

That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the articles, Bylaws, a resolution of the shareholders, or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding in which expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or


(b)

That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving settlement.



13


Section 9 .   INSURANCE .  This corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any agent of the corporation insuring against any liability asserted against or incurred by the agent in that capacity or arising out of the agent's status as such, whether or not this corporation would have the power to indemnify the agent against that liability under the provisions of this Article VI.


Section 10 .   FIDUCIARIES OF CORPORATE EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN .  This Article VI does not apply to any proceeding against any trustee, investment manager, or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan in that person's capacity as such, even though that person may also be an agent of the corporation.  The corporation shall have the power to indemnify, and to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such trustee, investment manager, or other fiduciary of any benefit plan for any or all of the Directors, officers, and employees of the corporation or any of its subsidiary or affiliated corporations.


Section 11 .   SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS.  The rights provided by this Article VI shall continue for a person who has ceased to be an agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person.


Section 12 .   EFFECT OF AMENDMENT .  Any amendment, repeal, or modification of this Article VI shall not adversely affect an agent's right or protection existing at the time of such amendment, repeal, or modification.


Section 13.   SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS .  The corporation shall not be liable to indemnify any agent under this Article VI for (a) any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without the corporation's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or (b) any judicial award, if the corporation was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity to participate, at its expense, in the defense of such action.


Section 14.   SUBROGATION.  In the event of payment under this Article VI, the corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the agent, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.


Section 15 .   NO DUPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.  The corporation shall not be liable under this Article VI to make any payment in connection with any claim made against the agent to the extent the agent has otherwise actually received payment, whether under a policy of insurance, agreement, vote, or otherwise, of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable under this Article.


ARTICLE VII

RECORDS AND REPORTS


Section 1.   MAINTENANCE OF SHAREHOLDER RECORD AND INSPECTION BY SHAREHOLDERS.  The corporation shall keep at its principal executive office or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar, as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors, a record of the names and addresses of all shareholders and the number and class of shares held by each shareholder, a copy certified by the Secretary of State of the corporation's articles of incorporation and all amendments thereto, and a copy certified by an officer of the corporation of its bylaws and all amendments thereto.

Section 3.   MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF MINUTES AND ACCOUNTING RECORDS.  The minutes of proceedings of the shareholders, Board of Directors, and committees of the Board, and the accounting books and records, shall be kept at the principal executive office of the corporation, or at such other place or places as designated by the Board of Directors.  The minutes shall be kept in written form, and the accounting books and records shall be kept either in written form or in a form capable of being converted into written form.  The minutes and accounting books and records shall be open to inspection on the written demand of any shareholder or holder of a voting trust certificate at any reasonable time during usual business hours, for a purpose reasonably related to the holder's interests as a shareholder or holder of a voting trust certificate.  The inspection may be made in person or by an agent or attorney, and shall include the right to copy and make extracts.  These rights of inspection shall extend to the records of each subsidiary of the corporation.


Section 4.   INSPECTION BY DIRECTORS.  Every Director shall have the absolute right at any reasonable time to inspect all books, records, and documents of every kind and the physical properties of the corporation and each of its subsidiary corporations.  This inspection by a Director may be made in person or by an agent or attorney and the right of inspection includes the right to copy and make extracts of documents.

Section 6 .   ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS .  Inasmuch as, and for as long as, there are fewer than 100 shareholders, the requirement of an annual report to shareholders referred to in Section 5 is expressly waived.  However, nothing in this provision shall be interpreted as prohibiting the Board of Directors from issuing annual or other periodic reports to the shareholders, as the Board considers appropriate.


Section 7 .   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.  The corporation shall keep a copy of each annual financial statement, quarterly or other periodic income statement, and accompanying balance sheets prepared by the corporation on file in the corporation's principal executive office for 12 months; these documents shall be exhibited at all reasonable times, or copies provided, to any shareholder on demand.

15


mail to the shareholder, within 30 days after receipt of the request, a balance sheet as of the end of that fiscal year and an income statement and statement of cash flows for that fiscal year.


A shareholder or shareholders holding 5 percent or more of the outstanding shares of any class of stock of the corporation may request in writing an income statement for the most recent three-month, six-month, or nine-month period (ending more than 30 days before the date of the request) of the current fiscal year, and a balance sheet of the corporation as of the end of that period.  If such documents are not already prepared, the chief financial officer shall cause them to be prepared and shall deliver the documents personally or mail them to the requesting shareholders within 30 days after receipt of the request.  A balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows for the last fiscal year shall also be included, unless the corporation has sent the shareholders an annual report for the last fiscal year.


Quarterly income statements and balance sheets referred to in this section shall be accompanied by the report, if any, of independent accountants engaged by the corporation or the certificate of an authorized corporate officer stating that the financial statements were prepared without audit from the corporation's books and records.

ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL CORPORATE MATTERS


Section 1 .   RECORD DATE FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN NOTICE AND VOTING .  For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to receive payment of dividends or other distributions or allotment of rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful action (other than voting at and receiving notice of shareholders' meetings and giving written consent of the shareholders without a meeting), the Board of Directors may fix in advance a record date, which shall be not more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of the dividend payment, distribution, allotment, or other action.  If a record date is so fixed, only shareholders of record at the close of business on that date shall be entitled to receive the dividend, distribution, or allotment of rights, or to exercise the other rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of shares on the corporation's books after the record date, except as otherwise provided by statute.


If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date in advance, the record date shall be at the close of business on the later of (1) the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the applicable resolution or (2) the 60 th day before the date of the dividend payment, distribution, allotment of rights, or other action.

Section 4.   SHARE TRANSFERS .  Transfers of shares of the Corporation must be approved by the board of directors of the Corporation by resolution in writing until such time as the Corporation's shares become listed or quoted on a public stock exchange or quotation service.


Section 5 .   CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES.  A certificate or certificates for shares of the capital stock of the corporation shall be issued to each shareholder when any of the shares are fully paid.


In addition to certificates for fully paid shares, the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of certificates for shares that are partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the purchase price, provided that the certificates representing partly paid shares shall state the total amount of the consideration to be paid for the shares and the amount actually paid.


All certificates shall certify the number of shares and the class or series of shares represented by the certificate.  All certificates shall be signed in the name of the corporation by (1) either the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors, the President, or any Vice President, and (2) either the Chief Financial Officer, any Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary, or any Assistant Secretary.


Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile.  If any officer, transfer, agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on a certificate shall have ceased to be that officer, transfer agent, or registrar before that certificate is issued, the certificate may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if that person were an officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.


Section 6 .   LOST CERTIFICATES.  Except as provided in this Section 5, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace old certificates unless the old certificate is surrendered to the corporation for cancellation at the same time.  If share certificates or certificates for any other security have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of replacement certificates on terms and conditions as required by the Board, which may include a requirement that the owner give the corporation a bond (or other adequate security) sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against it (including any expense or liability) on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of the old certificate or the issuance of the replacement certificate.


Section 7.   SHARES OF OTHER CORPORATIONS: HOW VOTED .  Shares of other corporations standing in the name of this corporation shall be voted by one of the following persons, listed in order of preference:



17


(1) Chair of the Board, or person designated by the Chair of the Board; (2) President, or person designated by the President; (3) First Vice President, or person designated by the First Vice President; (4) other person designated by the Board of Directors.


The authority to vote shares granted by this section includes the authority to execute a proxy in the name of the corporation for purposes of voting the shares.


Section 8.   REIMBURSEMENT OF CORPORATION IF PAYMENT NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE.   If all or part of the compensation, including expenses, paid by the corporation to a Director, officer, employee, or agent is finally determined not to be allowable to the corporation as a federal or state income tax deduction, the Director, officer, employee, or agent to whom the payment was made shall repay to the corporation the amount disallowed.  The Board of Directors shall enforce repayment of each such amount disallowed by the taxing authorities.


Section 9 .   CONSTRUCTION AND DEFINITIONS .  Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in NRS 78.010 through 78.795 shall govern the construction of these Bylaws.  Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term "person" includes both a corporation and a natural person.


ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENTS


Section 1.   AMENDMENT BY SHAREHOLDERS .  New Bylaws may be adopted or these Bylaws may be amended or repealed by the vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote; provided, however, that if the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation set forth the number of authorized Directors of the corporation, the authorized number of Directors may be changed only by an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation.
