ARTICLE VII

RIGHT OF DIRECTORS TO CONTRACT WITH CORPORATION

No contract or transaction shall be void or voidable or be enjoined, set aside, or give rise to an award of damages or other remedy in a proceeding by a shareholder or by or in the right of the corporation, solely because the contract or transaction involves a director of the corporation or an entity in which a director of the corporation is a director or officer or has a financial interest or solely because the director is present at or participates in the meeting of the corporation’s board of directors or of a committee of the board of directors which authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction or solely because the director’s vote is counted for such purpose if:

A.           The material facts as to the director’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors are less than a quorum; or

B.           The material facts as to the director’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically authorized, approved, or ratified in good faith by a vote of the shareholders; or

C.           The contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation.

Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee which authorizes, approves, or ratifies such contract or transaction.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS

The board of directors of the Corporation shall have the power to:

A.           Indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the Act as presently existing or as hereafter amended.

B.           Authorize payment of expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII.

C.           Purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article VIII.

The indemnification provided by this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under these Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and any procedure provided for by any of the foregoing, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

ARTICLE IX

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY

The officers, directors and other members of management of this Corporation shall be subject to the doctrine of “corporate opportunities” only insofar as it applies to business opportunities in which this Corporation has expressed an interest as determined from time to time by this Corporation’s board of directors as evidenced by resolutions appearing in the Corporation’s minutes.  Once such areas of interest are delineated, all such business opportunities within such areas of interest which come to the attention of the officers, directors, and other members of management of this Corporation shall be disclosed promptly to this Corporation and made available to it.  The board of directors may reject any business opportunity presented to it and thereafter any officers, directors or other member of management may avail himself of such opportunity.  Until such time as this Corporation, through its board of directors, has designated an area of interest, the officers, directors and other members of management of this Corporation shall be free to engage in such areas of interest on their own and this doctrine shall not limit the right of any officer, director or other member of management of this Corporation to continue a business existing prior to the time that such area of interest is designated by the Corporation.  This provision shall be construed to release any employee of this Corporation (other than an officer, director or member of management) from any duties which he may have to this Corporation.

ARTICLE X

VOTING BY SHAREHOLDERS

Any action required or permitted by Articles 101 to 117 of the Act to be taken at a shareholders’ meeting may be taken without a meeting if shareholders holding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting as set forth in the Bylaws of the Corporation, at which all of the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, consent to such action in writing.

ARTICLE XI
