ARTICLE II.
Shareholders

2.1          ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Shareholders shall be held once in every calendar year on such date and at such time and place as may be determined by the Board of Directors for the purpose of electing Directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting in accordance with these Bylaws. If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a legal holiday, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day. If the election of Directors shall not be held on the day designated herein for any annual meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the Shareholders as soon thereafter as conveniently may be.

2.2          SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Shareholders may be called by the President, Chairman of the Board, the Board of Directors, or by the Shareholders holding at least five percent (5%) of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting by signing, either manually or in facsimile, dating and delivering to the Company’s secretary one (1) or more written demands for the meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held. The Board of Directors shall have the discretion to require that the issues for which a special meeting is demanded by Shareholder be considered instead at the next annual meeting if the demand for the special meeting is made within 180 days of the next annual meeting.

1


2.3          PLACE OF MEETING. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or outside the State of Wyoming, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting. It shall be the duty of the President to fix the time and place of any such meeting, and to give due notice thereof. If the President shall neglect or refuse to fix the place, time and date of such meeting and give notice thereof, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so. If no designation of place is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the Company.

2.4          NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose for which the meeting is called, shall be given to each Shareholder of record having voting power with respect to the business to be transacted at such meeting, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary, or the Board of Directors. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the mail in a sealed envelope addressed to the Shareholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Company, with postage thereon prepaid. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to shareholders, notice of meetings may be given to shareholders by means of electronic transmission in accordance with applicable law, Notice of any meeting need not be given to any shareholder who shall, either before or after the meeting, submit a waiver of notice or who shall attend such meeting, except when the shareholder attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any Shareholder so waiving notice of the meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of the meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

2.5          PURPOSE. No matter which is not within the purpose or purposes specifically described in the notice of a special meeting shall be conducted at the meeting, nor shall any action be taken by the Shareholders on any other matter unless it is specifically described as a purpose in the notice for the special meeting. Notice of an annual meeting need not include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

2.6          FIXING OF RECORD DATE. The Board of Directors of the Company may fix in advance a date, not exceeding sixty (60) and not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of any meeting of Shareholders, or to the date for the payment of any dividend or for the allotment of rights, or to the date when any exchange or reclassification of shares shall be effective, as the record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, such meeting, or Shareholders entitled to receive payment of any such dividend or to receive any such allotment of rights, or to exercise rights in respect of any exchange or reclassification of shares; and the Shareholders of record on such date shall be the Shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at, such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights in the event of an exchange or reclassification of shares, as the case may be. If the transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed shall be deemed to be the record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting. Transferees of shares which are transferred after the record date shall not be entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting. Only Shareholders on the record date fixed by this Section 2.6 are entitled to notice of and permitted to vote or to demand a special meeting or to take any other action, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Company after any such record date.

2


Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order that the Company may determine the Shareholders entitled to receive payment of any share dividend or other distribution from the Company or allotment of any rights or the Shareholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If not record date is fixed, the record date for determining Shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

In order to determine the Shareholders entitled to vote and take action without a meeting of the Shareholders, as provided in Section 2.14 of these Bylaws, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than twenty (20) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining Shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting: (1) when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed written consent, setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company in the manner required by Section 2.14, was signed by any Shareholder, and (2) if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest date on which a consent delivered to the Company as required by this Section was signed, written consents signed by sufficient Shareholders to take the action have been delivered to the Company.

2.7          VOTING LISTS. The officer or agent having charge of the transfer book for shares of the Company shall prepare, at least two (2) days after notice of the meeting is given for which the list was prepared, a complete list of the Shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each, which list shall be kept on file at the principal office of the Company and shall be subject to inspection by any Shareholder at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any Shareholder during the whole time of the meeting. The original share ledger or transfer book, or a duplicate thereof kept at the Company’s principal office, shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the Shareholders entitled to examine such list or share ledger or transfer book or to vote at any meeting of Shareholders.

3


2.8          QUORUM. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares are present in person or by proxy with respect to that matter. At least 33 1/3 of the total outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote as a separate voting group, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of Shareholders, except as otherwise set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or as required by the Act. In the absence of a quorum at any meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days at any one adjournment without further notice, At such adjourned meeting, at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting, and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or shall be set for that adjourned meeting.

The Shareholders present or represented by proxy at an annual or special meeting at which a quorum is not present may lake only the following actions: (i) with the consent of the officer presiding at the meeting, receive or hear any reports on the affairs of the Company that may be presented; (ii) within the constraints of the time allowed on the agenda, ask questions concerning the affairs of the Company; and (iii) adjourn the meeting as provided above in this Section 2.8.

If different quorums are required for different purposes at a meeting, the absence of a quorum on one purpose shall not affect the ability of the Shareholders at the meeting to act on other purposes where a quorum is present.

2.9          MANNER OF ACTING. At any Shareholder meeting at which a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote as a separate voting group shall be the act of the Shareholders.

2.10          PROXIES. At all meetings of Shareholders, a Shareholder may vote by proxy execute in writing, either manually or by facsimile, by the Shareholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Company not less than forty eight (48) hours before the time of the meeting, unless the Board of Directors fixes a different time by which proxies must be filed. Unless otherwise provided in the proxy, a proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted, either by written notice filed with the Secretary or the Acting Secretary of the meeting or by oral notice given by the Shareholder to the presiding officer during the meeting. The presence of a Shareholder who has filed his or her proxy shall not of itself constitute a revocation, No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Appointments of proxies shall be in such form as shall be required by the Board and as set forth in the notice of meeting and/or proxy or information statement concerning such meeting. The proxies named in the Company’s proxy statement shall have discretionary authority to vote at all meetings of shareholders as provided in Rule 14a-4(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as that rule is currently in effect or as it subsequently may be amended or superseded.

2.11          VOTING OF SHARES. Each outstanding share of common stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote upon each matter to which they are entitled to vote submitted to a vote at a meeting of Shareholders.

2.12          VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent, or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine.

Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his or her name if authority so to do be contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.

A Shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

Treasury shares of its own stock held by the Company shall not be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time for purposes of any meeting.

Redeemable shares which have been called for redemption shall not be entitled to vote on any matter and shall not be deemed outstanding shares on and after the date on which written notice of redemption has been mailed to Shareholders and a sum sufficient to redeem such shares has been deposited with a bank or trust company with irrevocable instruction and authority to pay the redemption price to the holders of the shares upon surrender of certificates therefor.

2.13          VOTING BY BALLOT. Voting on any question or in any election may be by voice vote unless the presiding officer shall order or any Shareholder shall demand that voting be by ballot.

2.14          ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action required or permitted by the Act to be taken at a shareholders’ meeting may be taken without a meeting, and without prior notice, as allowed under the Act and as otherwise provided in the Articles. To the extent required by the Act, if action is taken by less than unanimous written consent of the voting shareholders, the Company shall give its non-consenting voting Shareholders written notice of the action not more than ten (10) days after written consents sufficient to take the action have been delivered to the Company. The notice shall reasonably describe the action taken and contain or be accompanied by the same material that, under any provision of the Act, would have been required to be sent to voting Shareholders in a notice of a meeting at which the action would have been submitted to the Shareholders for action. Such notice requirement shall not delay the effectiveness of action taken by written consent, and a failure to comply with such notice requirements shall not invalidate actions taken by written consent.

2.15          PARTICIPATION BY ELECTRONIC MEANS. The Shareholders may participate in any meeting of Shareholders by means of telephone conference or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Such participation shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

5


2.16          RECORD DATE. The Board of Directors of the Company may fix in advance a date, not exceeding fifty-five (55) and not less than twenty-five (25) calendar days prior to the date of any meeting of Shareholders, or to the date for the payment of any dividend or for the allotment of rights, or to exercise rights in respect of any exchange or reclassification of shares; and the Shareholders of record on such date shall be the Shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at, such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights in the event of an exchange or reclassification of shares, as the case may be. If the transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed (which shall not exceed fifty-five (55) or be less than twenty-five (25) calendar days prior to the meeting) shall be deemed to be the record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting. Transferees of shares which are transferred after the record date fixed by this Section 2.16 are entitled to notice of and permitted to vote or to demand a special meeting or to take any other action, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Company after any such record date.

2.17          SHAREHOLDER LISTS. Access to the list of Shareholders shall be restricted to a period beginning two (2) business days after the date of the notice of the Shareholders’ meeting for which the list was prepared and continuing through the meeting, or ten (10) business days before the date of the meeting, whichever is less. Copying of the list of Shareholders may be made by such persons and subject to the requirements set forth in the Act. The Board may take such steps it deems reasonable or necessary to prevent the use of its Shareholder lists for purposes not related to issues under consideration at a Shareholder meeting.

2.18          NOMINATIONS FOR ELECTION AS DIRECTORS. Any Shareholder of record for an annual or special meeting of Shareholders at which Directors are to be elected may request that one or more persons be nominated, at the annual or special meeting, for election as Directors at such meeting, in opposition to the slate of candidates for which management will solicit proxies, and the Board of Directors shall nominate such candidate(s) at the meeting, and include such candidate(s) in the Company’s proxy statement, but only if each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

(a)          With the exception of Rule 14a-8(i)(8)(iv) promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Shareholder complies with all the provisions of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act;

(b)          At least one hundred fifty (150) calendar days before the date for the meeting of the Company’s Shareholders, the requesting Shareholder requests, in writing, that the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors consider an individual for inclusion as a Director nominee in the proxy statement for the subject meeting, and provide to the Company (i) as to each person whom the Shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a Director, (1) all information required by the Company’s Nominating Committee, (2) all information relating to such person mat is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act; and (3) whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such person with respect to stock of the Company and whether any other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock) has been made by or on behalf of such person, the effect or interest of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk of stock price changes for, such person or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such person with respect to stock of the Company; (ii) a representation that the Shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nomination; and (iii) a representation whether the Shareholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends to solicit proxies from other Shareholders in support of such nomination;

6


(c)          The Nominating Committee recommends that the full Board of Directors consider including the individual in the Company’s proxy statement for the upcoming meeting; and

(d)          The Board of Directors, by majority vote, determines that such inclusion is not prohibited by the Company’s Articles of Continuance, referred to herein as the Articles of Incorporation (“Articles of Incorporation”), other provisions of these Bylaws in effect from time to time, or Wyoming law and that the proposed individual(s) shall be nominated at the meeting for election as directors and included in the Company’s proxy statement.

2.19          ADVANCE NOTICE REQUIREMENT FOR SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS. In addition to the requirements of Section 2.18, for any matter to be considered as a proper purpose for consideration by the Shareholders at an annual or special meeting, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before a meeting, business must be (a) brought before the meeting by the Company and specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the President or Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a Shareholder who (i) was a Shareholder of record (and, with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf such business is proposed, only if such beneficial owner was the beneficial owner of shares of the Company) both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section and at the time of the meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) has complied with this Section as to such business.

In no event shall any adjournment of a meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of Timely Notice described above.

7


To be in proper form for purposes of this Section, a Shareholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Company shall include: (a) the name and address of the Shareholders) of record proposing an item(s) for the meeting agenda and the class or series and number of shares of the Company that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned by such Shareholder; and (b) as to each item of business that the Shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (i) a reasonably brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of each proposing Shareholder, and (ii) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration).

The chairman or presiding officer of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that the business was either properly or not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section, and if the chairman or presiding offer of the meeting should determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

A proposal to nominate persons for election to the Board, if such persons are not to be included in the Company’s proxy statement as a result of the procedures set forth in Section 2.18, including without limitation nomination of persons from the floor for election to the Board, shall satisfy the requirement of this Section.
