The shares may be issued by the corporation from time to time as approved by the board of directors of the corporation without the approval of the stockholders except as otherwise provided in this Article V or the rules of a national securities exchange if applicable. The consideration for subscriptions to, or the purchase of, the capital stock to be issued by the corporation shall be paid in such form and in such manner as the board of directors shall determine. In the absence of actual fraud in the transaction, the judgment of the directors as to the value of such consideration shall be conclusive. The capital stock so issued shall be deemed to be fully paid and nonassessable stock upon receipt by the corporation of such consideration. In the case of a stock dividend, the part of the surplus of the corporation which is transferred to stated capital upon the issuance of shares as a stock dividend shall be deemed to be the consideration for their issuance.

 

A description of the different classes and series (if any) of the corporation’s capital stock, and a statement of the relative powers, designations, preferences and rights of the shares of each class and series (if any) of capital stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, are as follows:

Shares of common stock not at the time designated as shares of a particular series pursuant to this Article V or any other provision of these Articles of Incorporation may be issued from time to time in one or more designated series. The board of directors may determine, in whole or in part, the preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges of any such series before the issuance of any shares of that series. The board of directors shall determine the number of shares constituting each series of common stock and each series shall have a distinguishing designation.

 

C. Undesignated Common Stock. Shares of common stock not at the time designated as shares of a particular series, pursuant to this Article V or any other provision of these Articles of Incorporation may be issued from time to time without any distinctive designation. Such undesignated common stock is referred to herein as “common stock”. Except as provided in these Articles or the designation of any series or class of capital stock, the holders of the common stock shall exclusively possess all voting power. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, each holder of shares of common stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held by such holder.

Each share of undesignated common stock shall have the same relative powers, preferences and rights as, and shall be identical in all respects with, all the other shares of common stock of the corporation.

 

D. Serial Preferred Stock. Shares of preferred stock not at the time designated as shares of a particular series pursuant to this Article V or any other provision of these Articles of Incorporation may be issued from time to time in one or more additional series.

Each share of each series of serial preferred stock shall have the same relative powers, preferences and rights as, and shall be identical in all respects with, all the other shares of the corporation of the same series, except the times from which dividends on shares which may be issued from time to time of any such series may begin to accrue.

ARTICLE VII
DIRECTORS

The number of directors of the corporation shall be such number, not less than one nor more than 15 (exclusive of directors, if any, to be elected by holders of preferred stock of the corporation), as shall be provided from time to time in a resolution adopted by the board of directors, provided that no decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director, and provided further that no action shall be taken to decrease or increase the number of directors from time to time unless at least two-thirds of the directors then in office shall concur in said action.

B. Classified Board. The board of directors of the corporation (other than directors which may be elected by the holders of preferred stock) shall be divided into three classes of directors which shall be designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The members of each class shall be elected for a term of three years and until their successors are elected and qualified. Such classes shall be as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the entire board of directors shall permit, exclusive of directors, if any, elected by holders of preferred stock, with the terms of office of all members of one class expiring each year. Should the number of directors not be equally divisible by three, the excess director or directors shall be assigned to Classes I or II as follows: (1) if there shall be an excess of one directorship over the number equally divisible by three, such extra directorship shall be classified in Class I; and (2) if there be an excess of two directorships over a number equally divisible by three, one shall be classified in Class I and the other in Class II. At the first meeting of the board of directors of the corporation, directors of Class I shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders, directors of Class II shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the second succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and directors of Class III shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting thereafter. Thereafter, at each succeeding annual meeting, directors of each class shall be elected for three-year terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the director whose term shall expire at any annual meeting shall continue to serve until such time as his successor shall have been duly elected and shall have qualified unless his position on the board of directors shall have been abolished by action taken to reduce the size of the board of directors prior to said meeting.

 

C. Increase and Reduction in Number of Directors. Should the number of directors of the corporation be reduced, the directorship(s) eliminated shall be allocated among classes as appropriate so that the number of directors in each class is as specified in the position(s) to be abolished. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. Should the number of directors of the corporation be increased, other than directors which may be elected by the holders of preferred stock, the additional directorships shall be allocated among classes as appropriate so that the number of directors in each class is as specified in the immediately preceding paragraph.

 

D. Directors Elected by Preferred Stockholders. Whenever the holders of any one or more series of preferred stock of the corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the corporation, the board of directors shall include said directors so elected in addition to the number of directors fixed as provided in this Article VII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise may be required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of preferred stock of the corporation elect one or more directors of the corporation, the terms of the director or directors elected by such holders shall expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders.

 

E. Additional Authority of Directors. In furtherance, but not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the board of directors is expressly authorized to do the following:

 

(a) Designate one (I) or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation and such number of natural persons who are not directors as the board of directors shall designate, which to the extent provided in the Resolution, or in the by-laws of the corporation, shall have and may exercise the powers of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation.

 

(b) As provided by Nevada Revised Statutes 78.140, without repeating the section in full here, the same is adopted and no contract or other transaction between this corporation and any of its officers, agents or directors shall be deemed void or voidable solely for that reason. The balance of the provisions of the code section cited, as it now exists, allowing such transactions, is hereby incorporated into this Article as though more fully set forth, and such Article shall be read and interpreted to provide the greatest latitude in its application.

 

(c) As provided by Nevada Revised Statutes 78.207, without repeating the section in full here, the board of directors shall have the authority to change the number of shares of any class or series, if any, of authorized stock by increasing or decreasing the number of authorized shares of the class or series and correspondingly increasing or decreasing the number of issued and outstanding shares of the same class or series held by each stockholder of record at the effective date and time of the change by a resolution adopted by the board of directors, without obtaining the approval of the stockholders.

(d) If a proposed increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of any class or series would adversely alter or change any preference or any relative or other right given to any other class or series of outstanding shares, then the decrease must be approved by the vote, in addition to any vote required, of the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of each class or series whose preference or rights are adversely affected by the increase or decrease, regardless of limitations or restrictions on the voting power thereof The increase or decrease does not have to be approved by the vote of the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power in each class or series whose preference or rights are not adversely affected by the increase or decrease.

 

(e) Have the sole authority to call special meetings of the stockholders or delegate a committee of the board of directors the power to call special meetings by the board of directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more series of preferred stock of the corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the corporation, the preceding provisions of this Article VIII shall not apply with respect to the director or directors elected by such holders of preferred stock.

 

ARTICLE IX

Such right of indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on matters which antedate the adoption of this Article IX. Such right of indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, incorporator, employee, partner, trustee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such a person. The indemnification provided by this Article IX shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which may be provided now or in the future under any provision currently in effect or hereafter adopted of the bylaws, by any agreement, by vote of stockholders, by resolution of disinterested directors, by provisions of law, or otherwise.

 

ARTICLE X
