communication, addressed to the shareholder at the address of that shareholder appearing on the
books of the corporation or given by the shareholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice.
If no such address appears on the corporation's books or is given, notice shall be deemed to have
been given if sent to that shareholder by first-class mail or telegraphic or other written
communication to the corporation's principal executive office, or if published at least once in a
newspaper of general circulation in the county where that office is located. Notice shall be
deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent

If any notice addressed to a shareholder at the address of that shareholder appearing on
the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the United States Postal Service
marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice to the
shareholder at that address, all future notices shall be deemed to have been duly given without
further mailing if these shall be available to the shareholder on written demand by the
shareholder at the principal executive office of the corporation for a period of one year from the
date of the giving of the notice.
An affidavit of mailing of any notice or report in accordance with the provisions of this

EFTA00292121
Section 10.
Quorum and Transaction of Business.
(a)
At any meeting of the shareholders, a majority of the shares entitled to
vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. If a quorum is present, the
affirmative vote of the majority of shares represented and voting at the meeting (which shares
voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required 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, and except as provided in subsection (b) below.
(b)
The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting of the
shareholders at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, provided
that any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares
required to constitute a quorum.
(c)
In the absence of a quorum, no business other than adjournment may be
transacted, except as described in subsection (b) above.
Section 11.
Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of
shareholders may be adjourned from time to time, whether or not a quorum is present, by the
affirmative vote of a majority of shares represented at such meeting either in person or by proxy
and entitled to vote at such meeting.
In the event any meeting is adjourned, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the time
and place of such adjourned meeting pursuant to Sections 8 and 9 of these bylaws; provided that
if any of the following three events occur, such notice must be given:
(a)
announcement of the adjourned meeting's time and place is not made at
the original meeting which it continues or
(b)
such meeting is adjourned for more than forty-five (45) days from the date
set for the original meeting or
(c)
a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting.
At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have
been transacted at the original meeting.
Section 12.
Waiver of Notice, Consent to Meeting or Approval of Minutes.
(a)
Subject to subsection (b) of this Section, the transactions of any meeting
of shareholders, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though made
at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by
proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote but not
present in person or by proxy signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to holding of the
meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof
5.
822659 v7iSF
EFTA00292122
(b)
A waiver of notice, consent to the holding of a meeting or approval of the
minutes thereof need not specify the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of the meeting;
provided that in the case of proposals described in subsection (d) of Section 8 of these bylaws,
the general nature of such proposals must be described in any such waiver of notice and such
proposals can only be approved by waiver of notice, not by consent to holding of the meeting or
approval of the minutes.
(c)
All waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate
records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
(d)
A person's attendance at a meeting shall constitute waiver of notice of and
presence at such meeting, except when such person objects at the beginning of the meeting to
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and except
that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters
which are required by law or these bylaws to be in such notice (including those matters described
in subsection (d) of Section 8 of these bylaws), but are not so included if such person expressly
objects to consideration of such matter or matters at any time during the meeting.
Section 13.
Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting. Any action which may
be taken at any meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice
if written consents setting forth the action so taken are signed by the holders of the outstanding
shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or
take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
Directors may not be elected by written consent except by unanimous written consent of
all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors; provided that any vacancy on the Board of
Directors (other than a vacancy created by removal) which has not been filled by the board of
directors may be filled by the written consent of a majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote
for the election of directors.
Any written consent may be revoked pursuant to California Corporations Code
Section 603(c) prior to the time that written consents of the number of shares required to
authorize the proposed action have been filed with the Secretary. Such revocation must be in
writing and will be effective upon its receipt by the Secretary.
If the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have not been solicited in writing, and
if the unanimous written consent of all such shareholders shall not have been received, the
Secretary shall give prompt notice of any corporate action approved by the shareholders without
a meeting to those shareholders entitled to vote on such matters who have not consented thereto
in writing. This notice shall be given in the manner specified in Section 9 of these bylaws. In
the case of approval of (i) a transaction within the provisions of California Corporations Code,
Section 310 (relating to certain transactions in which a director has an interest), (ii) a transaction
within the provisions of California Corporations Code, Section 317 (relating to indemnification
of agents of the corporation), (iii) a transaction within the provisions of California Corporations
Code, Sections 181 and 1201 (relating to reorganization), and (iv) a plan of distribution within
the provisions of California Corporations Code, Section 2007 (relating to certain plans providing
for distribution not in accordance with the liquidation rights of preferred shares, if any), the
6.
822659 v7iSF
EFTA00292123
notice shall be given at least ten (10) days before the consummation of any action authorized by
that approval.
Section 14.
Voting. The shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of these bylaws, subject to
the provisions of Sections 702 through 704 of the California Corporations Code (relating to
voting shares held by a fiduciary, in the name of a corporation, or in joint ownership). Voting at
any meeting of shareholders need not be by ballot; provided, however, that elections for directors
must be by ballot if balloting is demanded by a shareholder at the meeting and before the voting
begins.
Every person entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate the votes to which
such person is entitled, i.e., such person may cast a total number of votes equal to the number of
directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which such person's shares are
entitled, and may cast said total number of votes for one or more candidates in such proportions
as such person thinks fit; provided, however, no shareholder shall be entitled to so cumulate such
shareholder's votes unless the candidates for which such shareholder is voting have been placed
in nomination prior to the voting and a shareholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to the
vote, of an intention to cumulate votes. In any election of directors, the candidates receiving the
highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected.
Except as may be otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by law, and
subject to the foregoing provisions regarding the cumulation of votes, each shareholder shall be
entitled to one vote for each share held.
Any shareholder may vote part of such shareholder's shares in favor of a proposal and
refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, other than elections
to office, but, if the shareholder fails to specify the number of shares such shareholder is voting
affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the shareholder's approving vote is with
respect to all shares such shareholder is entitled to vote.
No shareholder approval, other than unanimous approval of those entitled to vote, will be
valid as to proposals described in subsection 8(d) of these bylaws unless the general nature of
such business was stated in the notice of meeting or in any written waiver of notice.
Section 15.
Persons Entitled to Vote or Consent. The Board of Directors may fix a
record date pursuant to Section 60 of these bylaws to determine which shareholders are entitled
to notice of and to vote at a meeting or consent to corporate actions, as provided in Sections 13
and 14 of these bylaws. Only persons in whose name shares otherwise entitled to vote stand on
the stock records of the corporation on such date shall be entitled to vote or consent.
If no record date is fixed:
(a)
The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to
vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next
preceding the day notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business
day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held;
7.
822659 v7iSF
EFTA00292124
(b)
The record date for determining shareholders entitled to give consent to
corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors has
been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given;
(c)
The record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall
be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution
relating thereto, or the sixtieth (60th) day prior to the date of such other action, whichever is
later.
A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a
new record date for the adjourned meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall
fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned for more than forty-five (45) days from the date
set for the original meeting.
Shares of the corporation held by its subsidiary or subsidiaries (as defined in California
Corporations Code, Section 189(b)) are not entitled to vote in any matter.
Section 16.
Proxies. Every person entitled to vote or execute consents may do so
either in person or by one or more agents authorized to act by a written proxy executed by the
person or such person's duly authorized agent and filed with the Secretary of the corporation;
provided that no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the
date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. The manner of execution,
suspension, revocation, exercise and effect of proxies is governed by law.
Section 17.
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
chairman 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
(1) or three (3). If inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more
shareholders or proxies, the majority of shares represented in person or proxy shall determine
whether one (I) or three (3) inspectors are to be appointed. If any person appointed as inspector
fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the chairman 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;
8.
822659 v7iSF
EFTA00292125
(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 IV
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 18.
Powers. Subject to the provisions of law or any limitations in the Articles
of Incorporation or these bylaws, as 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. The
Board of Directors may delegate the management of the day-to-day operation of the business of
the corporation to a management company or other person, provided that the business and affairs
of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised under the
ultimate direction of the Board of Directors.
Section 19.
Number of Directors.
The authorized number of directors of the
corporation shall be not less than a minimum of four (4) nor more than a maximum of seven (7)
(which maximum number in no case shall be greater than two times said minimum, minus one)
and the number of directors presently authorized is five (5). The exact number of directors shall
be set within these limits from time to time (a) by approval of the Board of Directors, or (b) by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at
which a quorum is present (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority
of the required quorum) or by the written consent of shareholders pursuant to Section 13
hereinabove.
Any amendment of these bylaws changing the maximum or minimum number of
directors may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares
entitled to vote; provided, an amendment reducing the minimum number of directors to less than
five (5), cannot be adopted if votes cast against its adoption at a meeting or the shares not
consenting to it in the case of action by written consent are equal to more than 16-2/3 percent of
the outstanding shares entitled to vote.
No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall remove any director prior to the
expiration of such director's term of office.
Section 20.
Election Of Directors, Term, Qualifications. The directors shall be
elected at each annual meeting of shareholders to hold office until the next annual meeting. Each
director, including a director elected or appointed to fill a vacancy, shall hold office either until
the expiration of the term for which elected or appointed and until a successor has been elected
and qualified, or until his death, resignation or removal. Directors need not be shareholders of
the corporation.
9.
822659 v7lSF
EFTA00292126
Section 21.
Resignations. Any director of the corporation may resign effective upon
giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board, the President or the Chief Executive Officer,
as applicable, the Secretary or the Board of Directors of the corporation, unless the notice
specifies a later time for the effectiveness of such resignation. If the resignation specifies
effectiveness at a future time, a successor may be elected pursuant to Section 23 of these bylaws
to take office on the date that the resignation becomes effective.
Section 22.
Removal. The Board of Directors may declare vacant the office of a
director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court or who has been convicted
of a felony.
The entire Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office
without cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on
such removal; provided, however, that unless the entire Board is removed, no individual director
may be removed when the votes cast against such director's removal, or not consenting in
writing to such removal, would be sufficient to elect that director if voted cumulatively at an
election at which the same total number of votes cast were cast (or, if such action is taken by
written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted) and the entire number of directors
authorized at the time of such director's most recent election were then being elected.
Section 23.
Vacancies. A vacancy or vacancies on the Board of Directors shall be
deemed to exist in case of the death, resignation or removal of any director, or upon increase in
the authorized number of directors or if shareholders fail to elect the full authorized number of
directors at an annual meeting of shareholders or if, for whatever reason, there are fewer
directors on the Board of Directors, than the full number authorized. Such vacancy or vacancies,
other than a vacancy created by the removal of a director, may be filled by a majority of the
remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A vacancy
created by the removal of a director may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present (which
shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum) or by the
written consent of shareholders pursuant to Section 13 hereinabove. The shareholders may elect
a director at any time to fill any vacancy not filled by the directors. Any such election by written
consent, other than to fill a vacancy created by removal, requires the consent of a majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote. Any such election by written consent to fill a vacancy
created by removal requires the consent of all of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.
If, after the filling of any vacancy by the directors, the directors then in office who have
been elected by the shareholders constitute less than a majority of the directors then in office,
any holder or holders of an aggregate of five percent (5%) or more of the shares outstanding at
that time and having the right to vote for such directors may call a special meeting of
shareholders to be held to elect the entire Board of Directors. The term of office of any director
shall terminate upon such election of a successor.
Section 24.
Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be
held at such times, places and dates as fixed in these bylaws or by the Board of Directors;
provided, however, that if the date for such a meeting falls on a legal holiday, then the meeting
10.
822659 v7iSF
EFTA00292127
shall be held at the same time on the next succeeding full business day. Regular meetings of the
Board of Directors held pursuant to this Section 24 may be held without notice.
Section 25.
Electronic Participation. So long as permitted by statute, directors may
participate in a meeting through any means of communication, including conference telephone,
electronic video screen communication, or other communications equipment. Participating in a
meeting pursuant to this section constitutes presence in person at that meeting if each
participating director is provided the means to communicate with all of the other directors
concurrently and (a) the meeting is held by conference telephone or video conferencing or other
communications mode enabling participants to determine, through voice or image recognition,
that a participant is or is not a director entitled to participate in the meeting or (b) another
communications device (such as a computer modem) is used in conjunction with another method
(determined in the discretion of the chairperson of the meeting) enabling participants to
determine that a participant is or is not a director entitled to participate in the meeting. Such
verification method may include use of passwords or similar codes for gaining access to the
meeting or encryption and authentication technology approved in the discretion of the
chairperson.
Section 26.
Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors for any
purpose may be called by (i) the Chairman of the Board, (ii) the President or the Chief Executive
Officer, as applicable, (iii) any vice president of the corporation, (iv) the Secretary, (v) any two
(2) directors or (vi) the holders of record of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company's
then-outstanding Preferred Stock.
Section 27.
Notice of Meetings. Notice of the date, time and place of all meetings of
the Board of Directors, other than regular meetings held pursuant to Section 24 above shall be
delivered personally, orally or in writing, or by telephone, including a voice messaging system or
other system or technology designed to record and communication messages, telegraph,
facsimile, electronic mail or other electronic means, to each director, at least forty-eight (48)
hours before the meeting, or sent in writing to each director by first-class mail, charges prepaid,
at least four (4) days before the meeting. Such notice may be given by the Secretary of the
corporation or by the person or persons who called a meeting. Such notice need not specify the
purpose of the meeting. Notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors need not be given to
any director who signs a waiver of notice of such meeting, or a consent to holding the meeting or
an approval of the minutes thereof, either before or after the meeting, or who attends the meeting
without protesting prior thereto or at its commencement such director's lack of notice. All such
waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the
minutes of the meeting.
Section 28.
Place of Meetings. Meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at
any place within or without the state which has been designated in the notice of the meeting or, if
not stated in the notice or there is no notice, designated in the bylaws or by resolution of the
Board of Directors.
Section 29.
Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting. Any action required or
permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, if all members
of the Board of Directors individually or collectively consent in writing to such action. Such
I I.
822659 v7lSF
EFTA00292128
written consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of
Directors. Such action by written consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous
vote of such directors.
Section 30.
Quorum and Transaction of Business. A majority of the authorized
number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. 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 the act of the Board of Directors, unless the law, the Articles of
Incorporation or these bylaws specifically require a greater number. A meeting at which a
quorum is initially present may continue to transact business, notwithstanding withdrawal of
directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the number of directors
constituting a quorum for such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board
of Directors, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting, as provided in
Section 31 of these bylaws.
Section 31.
Adjournment. Any meeting of the Board of Directors, whether or not a
quorum is present, may be adjourned to another time and place by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the directors present. If the meeting is adjourned for more than twenty-four (24)
hours, notice of such adjournment to another time or place shall be given prior to the time of the
adjourned meeting to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment.
Section 32.
Organization. The Chairman of the Board shall preside at every meeting
of the Board of Directors, if present. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman is
not present, a Chairman chosen by a majority of the directors present shall act as chairman. The
Secretary of the corporation or, in the absence of the Secretary, any person appointed by the
Chairman shall act as secretary of the meeting.
Section 33.
Compensation. Directors and members of committees may receive such
compensation, if any, for their services, and such reimbursement for expenses, as may be fixed
or determined by the Board of Directors.
Section 34.
Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a
majority of the authorized number of directors, designate one or more committees, each
consisting of two (2) or more directors, to serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors, by a vote of the majority of authorized directors, may designate one or more
directors as alternate members of any committee, to replace any absent member at any meeting
of such committee. Any such committee shall have authority to act in the manner and to the
extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, and may have all the authority of the
Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, except with
respect to:
(a)
the approval of any action for which shareholders' approval or approval of
the outstanding shares also is required by the California Corporations Code;
(b)
the filling of vacancies on the Board of Directors or any of its committees;
(c)
the fixing of compensation of directors for serving on the Board of
Directors or any of its committees;

Transfer on the Books. Upon surrender to the Secretary or transfer agent
(if any) of the corporation of a certificate for shares of the corporation duly endorsed, with
reasonable assurance that the endorsement is genuine and effective, or accompanied by proper
evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer and upon compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws and if the corporation has no statutory duty to inquire into
adverse claims or has discharged any such duty and if any applicable law relating to the
collection of taxes has been complied with, it shall be the duty of the corporation, by its
Secretary or transfer agent, to cancel the old certificate, to issue a new certificate to the person
entitled thereto and to record the transaction on the books of the corporation.
Section 53.
Lost, Destroyed and Stolen Certificates. The holder of any certificate
for shares of the corporation alleged to have been lost, destroyed or stolen shall notify the
corporation by making a written affidavit or affirmation of such fact. Upon receipt of said
affidavit or affirmation the Board of Directors, or its duly appointed and authorized committee or
any officer or officers authorized by the Board so to do, may order the issuance of a new
certificate for shares in the place of any certificate previously issued by the corporation and

authorized committee, officer or officers may require the owner of the allegedly lost, destroyed
or stolen certificate, or such owner's legal representative, to give the corporation a bond or other
adequate security sufficient to indemnify the corporation and its transfer agent and/or registrar, if
any, against any claim that may be made against it or them on account of such allegedly lost,
destroyed or stolen certificate or the replacement thereof. Said bond or other security shall be in
such amount, on such terms and conditions and, in the case of a bond, with such surety or
sureties as may be acceptable to the Board of Directors or to its duly appointed and authorized
committee or any officer or officers authorized by the Board of Directors to determine the
sufficiency thereof. The requirement of a bond or other security may be waived in particular

or any officer or officers authorized by the Board of Directors so to do.

(b)
If and so long as there are fewer than 100 holders of record of the

corporation is hereby expressly waived.

meeting or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any
rights or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 63.
Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees And Other Agents.
(a)
Directors and Executive Officers. The corporation shall indemnify its
directors and executive officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the California General
Corporation Law; provided, however, that the corporation may limit the extent of such
indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and executive officers; and, provided,
further, that the corporation shall not be required to indemnify any director or executive officer
in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person or any proceeding by
such person against the corporation or its directors, officers, employees or other agents unless
(i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was
authorized by the board of directors of the corporation or (iii) such indemnification is provided
by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under
the California General Corporation Law.
(b)
Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents. The corporation shall
have the power to indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the
California General Corporation Law.
(c)
Determination by the Corporation. Promptly after receipt of a request
for indemnification hereunder (and in any event within ninety (90) days thereof) a reasonable,
good faith determination as to whether indemnification of the director or executive officer is
proper under the circumstances because such director or executive officer has met the applicable
standard of care shall be made by:
21.
822659 v7/SF
EFTA00292138
(1)
a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not
parties to such proceeding;
(2)
if such quorum is not obtainable, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion; or
(3)
approval or ratification by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares of this corporation represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is
present (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required
quorum) or by written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote; where in
each case the shares owned by the person to be indemnified shall not be considered entitled to
vote thereon.
(d)
Good Faith.
(1)
For purposes of any determination under this bylaw, a director or
executive officer shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders, and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful, if his action is based on information, opinions, reports and statements, including
financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by:
(i)
one or more officers or employees of the corporation whom
the director or executive officer believed to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;
(ii)
counsel, independent accountants or other persons as to
matters which the director or executive officer believed to be within such person's professional
competence; and
(iii)
with respect to a director, a committee of the Board upon
which such director does not serve, as to matters within such committee's designated authority,
which committee the director believes to merit confidence; so long as, in each case, the director
or executive officer acts without knowledge that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted.
(2)
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 which he reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders or that he had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(3)
The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall not be deemed to be
exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met
the applicable standard of conduct set forth by the California General Corporation Law.
(e)
Expenses. The corporation shall advance, prior to the final disposition of
any proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or
executive officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
22.
822659 v7iSF
EFTA00292139
behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it shall be determined ultimately that such person
is not entitled to be indemnified under this bylaw or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to paragraph (f) of
this bylaw, no advance shall be made by the corporation if a determination is reasonably and
promptly made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
who were not parties to the proceeding (or, if no such quorum exists, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion) that the facts known to the decision making party at the time such
determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith
or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in the best interests of the corporation and
its shareholders.
(f)
Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract,
all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and executive officers under this bylaw
shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for
in a contract between the corporation and the director or executive officer. Any right to
indemnification or advances granted by this bylaw to a director or executive officer shall be
enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in the forum in which the
proceeding is or was pending or, if such forum is not available or a determination is made that
such forum is not convenient, in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for
indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is
made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if
successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his
claim. The corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant
has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the California General
Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither
the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or its
shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that
indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in the California General Corporation Law, nor an actual
determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or
its shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a
defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of
conduct.
(g)
Non-Exclusivity of Rights.
To the fullest extent permitted by the
corporation's Articles of Incorporation and the California General Corporation Law, the rights
conferred on any person by this bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right which such
person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of
Incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise,
both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office.
The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its
directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest
extent permitted by the California General Corporation Law and the corporation's Articles of
Incorporation.

Section 64.
Right of First Refusal. No Holder shall Transfer any of the shares of
stock of the corporation or any right or interest therein, whether voluntarily or by operation of
law, or by gift or otherwise, except by a Transfer that meets the requirements hereinafter set forth
in this bylaw:
(a)
If the Holder desires to Transfer any of his shares of stock, then the Holder
shall first give written notice thereof to the corporation. The notice shall name the proposed
transferee and state the number of shares to be Transferred, the proposed consideration, and all
other terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer.
(b)
For thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, the corporation shall
have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the shares specified in the notice at the
price and upon the terms set forth in such notice; provided, however, that, with the consent of the
Holder, the corporation shall have the option to purchase a lesser portion of the shares specified
in said notice at the price and upon the terms set forth therein. In the event of a gift, property
settlement or other Transfer in which the proposed transferee is not paying the full price for the
shares, and that is not otherwise exempted from the provisions of this Section 64, the price shall
be deemed to be the fair market value of the stock at such time as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors. In the event the corporation elects to purchase all of the shares or, with
consent of the Holder, a lesser portion of the shares, it shall give written notice to the transferring
Holder of its election and settlement for said shares shall be made as provided below in
paragraph (d).
(c)
The corporation may assign its rights hereunder.
(d)
In the event the corporation and/or its assignee(s) elect to acquire any of
the shares of the transferring Holder as specified in said transferring Holder's notice, the
Secretary of the corporation shall so notify the transferring Holder and settlement thereof shall be
made in cash within thirty (30) days after the Secretary of the corporation receives said
transferring Holder's notice; provided that if the terms of payment set forth in said transferring
Holder's notice were other than cash against delivery, the corporation and/or its assignee(s) shall
pay for said shares on the same terms and conditions set forth in said transferring Holder's
notice.
(e)
In the event the corporation and/or its assignees(s) do not elect to acquire
all of the shares specified in the transferring Holder's notice, said transferring Holder may,
within the sixty-day period following the expiration of the option rights granted to the
corporation and/or its assignees(s) herein, Transfer the shares specified in said transferring
25.
822659 ✓rlSF
EFTA00292142
Holder's notice that were not acquired by the corporation and/or its assignees(s) as specified in

any trust for the account of such Holder or such Holder's Immediate Family will be the general

the stock or assets of a corporate Holder.
(6)

all of (i) its shareholders or (ii) its affiliates (as defined by Rule 144(a)(1) of the Securities Act of

limited liability company) to any or all of (i) its partners or former partners (or members or

as amended).
In any such case, the transferee, assignee, or other recipient shall receive and hold such
stock subject to the provisions of this bylaw, and there shall be no further Transfer of such stock
