by resolution from time to time determine.

body but, if and so long as their number is reduced below the number
fixed pursuant to these Bylaws as the necessary quorum of Directors,

number of Directors to that number, or of summoning a shareholder
meeting of the Corporation, but for no other purpose.
h) All acts done by a meeting of the Directors, a committee of Directors,
or a person acting as a Director, will, notwithstanding that it be
afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the qualification,
election or appointment of the Directors, shareholders of the
committee or person acting as a Director, or that any of them were

appointed and was qualified to be a Director.

method of transmitting legibly recorded messages, by all of the
Directors is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of the
Directors duly called and held. A resolution may be in two or more
counterparts which together are deemed to constitute one resolution in
writing. A resolution must be filed with the minutes of the
proceedings of the directors and is effective on the date stated on it
or on the latest date stated on a counterpart.
j) All Directors of the Corporation shall have equal voting power.

its members one or more committees, and alternate members thereof, as
they deem desirable, each consisting of one or more members, with such
powers and authority (to the extent permitted by law and these Bylaws)
as may be provided in such resolution. Each such committee shall serve
at the pleasure of the Board of Directors and unless otherwise stated
by law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or these
Bylaws, shall be governed by the rules and regulations stated herein
regarding the Board of Directors.
b) Each Committee shall keep regular minutes of its transactions, shall
cause them to be recorded in the books kept for that purpose, and

be stated in these Bylaws or in a resolution of the Board of Directors
which is not inconsistent with these Bylaws. The officers of the

to the Corporation.

Section 4 - Remuneration
The remuneration of the Officers of the Corporation may from time to time be
determined by the Directors or, if the Directors decide, by the shareholders.

whereby, whether directly or indirectly, duties or interests might be created in
conflict with his or her duties or interests as an officer of the Corporation
shall, in writing, disclose to the President the fact and the nature, character
and extent of the conflict and abstain from voting with respect to any
resolution in which the officer has a personal interest.
ARTICLE IV: SHARES OF STOCK
Section 1 - Certificate of Stock
a) The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates or
shall be uncertificated shares.
b) Certificated shares of the Corporation shall be signed, either
manually or by facsimile, by officers or agents designated by the
Corporation for such purposes, and shall certify the number of shares
owned by the shareholder in the Corporation. Whenever any certificate
is countersigned or otherwise authenticated by a transfer agent or
transfer clerk, and by a registrar, then a facsimile of the signatures
of the officers or agents, the transfer agent or transfer clerk or the
registrar of the Corporation may be printed or lithographed upon the
certificate in lieu of the actual signatures. If the Corporation uses
facsimile signatures of its officers and agents on its stock
certificates, it cannot act as registrar of its own stock, but its
transfer agent and registrar may be identical if the institution
acting in those dual capacities countersigns or otherwise
authenticates any stock certificates in both capacities. If any
officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed
upon such certificate, shall have ceased to be such officer before
such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with
the same effect as if he were such officer at the date of its issue.
c) If the Corporation issued uncertificated shares as provided for in
these Bylaws, within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer
of such uncertificated shares, and at least annually thereafter, the
Corporation shall send the shareholder a written statement certifying
the number of shares owned by such shareholder in the Corporation.
6
d) Except as otherwise provided by law, the rights and obligations of the
holders of uncertificated shares and the rights and obligations of the
holders of certificates representing shares of the same class and
series shall be identical.
e) If a share certificate:
(i) is worn out or defaced, the Directors shall, upon production to
them of the certificate and upon such other terms, if any, as
they may think fit, order the certificate to be cancelled and
issue a new certificate;
(ii) is lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon proof being given to the
satisfaction of the Directors and upon and indemnity, if any
being given, as the Directors think adequate, the Directors shall
issue a new certificate; or
(iii)represents more than one share and the registered owner
surrenders it to the Corporation with a written request that the
Corporation issue in his or her name two or more certificates,
each representing a specified number of shares and in the
aggregate representing the same number of shares as the
certificate so surrendered, the Corporation shall cancel the
certificate so surrendered and issue new certificates in
accordance with such request.
Section 2 - Transfers of Shares
a) Transfers or registration of transfers of shares of the Corporation
shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Corporation by the
registered holder thereof, or by his or her attorney duly authorized
by a written power of attorney; and in the case of shares represented
by certificates, only after the surrender to the Corporation of the
certificates representing such shares with such shares properly
endorsed, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement,
transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may
reasonably require, and the payment of all stock transfer taxes due
thereon.
b) The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any
share or shares as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and,
accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any legal, equitable or
other claim to, or interest in, such share or shares on the part of
any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice
thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided by law.
Section 3 - Record Date
a) The Directors may fix in advance a date, which must not be more than
60 days permitted by the preceding the date of a meeting of
shareholders or a class of shareholders, or of the payment of a
dividend or of the proposed taking of any other proper action
requiring the determination of shareholders as the record date for the
determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to attend
and vote at, a meeting and an adjournment of the meeting, or entitled
to receive payment of a dividend or for any other proper purpose and,
in such case, notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws, only
shareholders of records on the date so fixed will be deemed to be the
shareholders for the purposes of this Bylaw.
7
b) Where no record date is so fixed for the determination of shareholders
as provided in the preceding Bylaw, the date on which the notice is
mailed or on which the resolution declaring the dividend is adopted,
as the case may be, is the record date for such determination.
Section 4 - Fractional Shares
Notwithstanding anything else in these Bylaws, the Corporation, if the Directors
so resolve, will not be required to issue fractional shares in connection with
an amalgamation, consolidation, exchange or conversion. At the discretion of the
Directors, fractional interests in shares may be rounded to the nearest whole
number, with fractions of 1/2 being rounded to the next highest whole number, or
may be purchased for cancellation by the Corporation for such consideration as
the Directors determine. The Directors may determine the manner in which
fractional interests in shares are to be transferred and delivered to the
Corporation in exchange for consideration and a determination so made is binding
upon all shareholders of the Corporation. In case shareholders having fractional
interests in shares fail to deliver them to the Corporation in accordance with a
determination made by the Directors, the Corporation may deposit with the
Corporation's Registrar and Transfer Agent a sum sufficient to pay the
consideration payable by the Corporation for the fractional interests in shares,
such deposit to be set aside in trust for such shareholders. Such setting aside
is deemed to be payment to such shareholders for the fractional interests in
shares not so delivered which will thereupon not be considered as outstanding
and such shareholders will not be considered to be shareholders of the
Corporation with respect thereto and will have no right except to receive
payment of the money so set aside and deposited upon delivery of the
certificates for the shares held prior to the amalgamation, consolidation,
exchange or conversion which result in fractional interests in shares.
ARTICLE V: DIVIDENDS
a) Dividends may be declared and paid out of any funds available
therefor, as often, in such amounts, and at such time or times as the
Board of Directors may determine and shares may be issued pro rata and
without consideration to the Corporation's shareholders or to the
shareholders of one or more classes or series.
b) Shares of one class or series may not be issued as a share dividend to
shareholders of another class or series unless such issuance is in
accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and:
(i) a majority of the current shareholders of the class or series to
be issued approve the issue; or (ii) there are no outstanding
shares of the class or series of shares that are authorized to be
issued as a dividend.
ARTICLE VI: BORROWING POWERS
a) The Directors may from time to time on behalf of the Corporation:
(i) borrow money in such manner and amount, on such security, from
such sources and upon such terms and conditions as they think
fit,

outright or as security for liability or obligation of the

part of the property and assets of the Corporation (both present
and future).

issued at a discount, premium or otherwise, and with a special
privilege as to redemption, surrender, drawing, allotment of or

change, by the Board of Directors from time to time, subject to applicable law.

stamp by the Corporation on corporate documents is not necessary and the lack
thereof shall not in any way affect the legality of a corporate document.

or special meeting called for that purpose.
