ARTICLE I - STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS

Section 1.1.      Place of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Nevada, as the board of directors shall determine. Rather than holding a meeting at any designated place, the board of directors may determine that a meeting shall be held solely by means of remote communications, which means shall meet the requirements of the Title 7, Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes applicable to Nevada corporations (the “Nevada General Corporation Law”).

Section 1.2.      Annual Meeting. Unless otherwise designated by the board of directors, the annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held on the date and at the time and place fixed by the board of directors for the purpose of considering the financial statements and auditor’s report, if any, electing directors and appointing auditors or accountants, as the case may be; provided, however, that the first annual meeting shall be held on a date that is within 18 months after the date on which the corporation comes into existence, and each successive annual meeting shall be held on a date that is within 15 months after the preceding annual meeting.

Section 1.3.      Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called by the board of directors, the chairman of the board of directors or the president. No other person or persons may call a special meeting. The business to be transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

Section 1.4.      Remote Communications. The board of directors may permit the stockholders and their proxy holders to participate in meetings of the stockholders (whether such meetings are held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication) using one or more methods of remote communication that satisfy the requirements of the Nevada General Corporation Law. The board of directors may adopt such guidelines and procedures applicable to participation in stockholders’ meetings by means of remote communication as it deems appropriate. Participation in a stockholders’ meeting by means of a method of remote communication permitted by the board of directors shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

1


Section 1.5.      Notice of Meetings. Notice of the place, if any, date and hour of any stockholders’ meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote. The notice shall state the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed present in person and vote at the meeting. If the voting list for the meeting is to be made available by means of an electronic network or if the meeting is to be held solely by remote communication, the notice shall include the information required to access the reasonably accessible electronic network on which the corporation will make its voting list available either prior to the meeting or, in the case of a meeting held solely by remote communication, during the meeting. Notice of a special meeting shall also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting has been called. Unless otherwise provided in the Nevada General Corporation Law, notice shall be given at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given, notice may be given by a form of electronic transmission that satisfies the requirements of the Nevada General Corporation Law and has been consented to by the stockholder to whom notice is given. If mailed, notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder’s address as it appears in the corporation’s records. If given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom notice is given, notice shall be deemed given at the times specified with respect to the giving of notice by electronic transmission in the Nevada General Corporation Law. An affidavit of the corporation’s secretary, an assistant secretary or an agent of the corporation that notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated in the affidavit.

Section 1.6.      Quorum. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third (1/3) of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote at a meeting shall constitute a quorum. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series of stock is required at a meeting, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of each such class or series shall also be required to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, either the chairperson of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the meeting may adjourn the meeting in the manner provided in Section 1.7 until a quorum shall be present. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of the holders of enough voting power to leave less than a quorum. If a quorum is present at an original meeting, a quorum need not be present at an adjourned session of that meeting.

Section 1.7.      Nomination of Directors. Subject only to Nevada General Corporation Law and the articles and bylaws of the corporation, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the corporation. Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors may be made at any annual meeting of stockholders, or at any special meeting of stockholders if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of directors:

  (a)

by or at the direction of the board or an authorized officer of the corporation, including pursuant to a notice of meeting;

     
  (b)

by or at the direction or request of one or more stockholders pursuant to a proposal made in accordance with the provisions of Nevada General Corporation Law or a requisition of the stockholders made in accordance with the provisions of Nevada General Corporation Law;

2



  (c)

by any person (a "Nominating Shareholder"):


  (i)

who, at the close of business on the date of the giving of the notice provided for below in this Section and on the record date for notice of such meeting, is entered in the securities register as a holder of one or more shares carrying the right to vote at such meeting or who beneficially owns shares that are entitled to be voted at such meeting; and

     
  (ii)

who complies with the notice procedures set forth below in this paragraph Section:

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a Nominating Shareholder, the Nominating Shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the secretary of the corporation at the principal executive offices of the corporation in accordance with this Section.

To be timely, a Nominating Shareholder’s notice to the secretary of the corporation must be made:

  (a)

in the case of an annual meeting of stockholders, not less than 30 days prior to the date of the annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting of stockholders is called for a date that is less than 50 days after the date (the "Notice Date") on which the first public announcement (as defined below) of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice by the Nominating Shareholder may be made not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the Notice Date; and

     
  (b)

in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made.

To be in proper written form, a Nominating Shareholder’s notice to the secretary of the corporation must set forth:

  (a)

as to each person whom the Nominating Shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director:


  (i)

the name, age, business address and residence address of the person;

     
  (ii)

the principal occupation or employment of the person;

     
  (iii)

the class or series and number of shares in the capital of the corporation which are controlled or which are owned beneficially or of record by the person as of the record date for the meeting of shareholders (if such date shall then have been made publicly available and shall have occurred) and as of the date of such notice; and

3



  (iv)

any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a dissident’s proxy circular in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Nevada General Corporation Law and Applicable Securities Laws (as defined below); and


  (b)

as to the Nominating Shareholder giving the notice, any information relating to such Nominating Shareholder that would be required to be made in a dissident’s proxy circular in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Nevada General Corporation Law and Applicable Securities Laws. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the corporation or that could be material to a reasonable shareholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such proposed nominee. All information received pursuant to this Section may be made publicly available to stockholders of the corporation.

No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of this Section; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall be deemed to preclude discussion by a shareholder (as distinct from nominating directors) at a meeting of shareholders of any matter in respect of which it would have been entitled to submit a proposal pursuant to the provisions of Nevada General Corporation Law. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the foregoing provisions and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance with such foregoing provisions, to declare that such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

For purposes of this Section:

  (a)

"public announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service in Canada, or in a document publicly filed by the corporation under its profile on the System of Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval at www.sedar.com; and

     
  (b)

"Applicable Securities Laws" means the Securities Act (Ontario) and the equivalent legislation in the other provinces and in the territories of Canada, as amended from time to time, the rules, regulations and forms made or promulgated under any such statute and the published national instruments, multilateral instruments, policies, bulletins and notices of the securities commissions and similar regulatory authorities of each of the provinces and territories of Canada.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this bylaw, notice given to the secretary of the corporation pursuant to this Section may only be given by personal delivery, facsimile transmission or by email (at such email address as stipulated from time to time by the secretary of the corporation for purposes of this notice), and shall be deemed to have been given and made only at the time it is served by personal delivery, email (at the address as aforesaid) or sent by facsimile transmission (provided that receipt of confirmation of such transmission has been received) to the secretary at the address of the principal executive offices of the corporation; provided that if such delivery or electronic communication is made on a day which is a not a business day or later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on a day which is a business day, then such delivery or electronic communication shall be deemed to have been made on the subsequent day that is a business day.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board of directors may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement in this Section.

Section 1.8.      Adjournment of Meetings. Either the chairperson of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the meeting may adjourn any meeting of stockholders from time to time. At any adjourned meeting the stockholders may transact any business that they might have transacted at the original meeting. Notice of an adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place, if any, or the means of remote communications to be used rather than holding the meeting at any place are announced at the meeting so adjourned, except that notice of the adjourned meeting shall be required if the adjournment is for more than 30 days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.9.      Voting List. At least 10 days before every meeting of the stockholders, the secretary of the corporation shall prepare a complete alphabetical list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting showing each stockholder’s address and number of shares. This voting list need not include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information for any stockholder nor need it contain any information with respect to beneficial owners of the shares of stock owned although it may do so. For a period of at least 10 days before the meeting, the voting list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting either on a reasonably accessible electronic network (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or during ordinary business hours at the corporation’s principal place of business. If the list is made available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that it is available only to stockholders. If the stockholders’ meeting is held at a place, the voting list shall be produced and kept at that place for the entire duration of the meeting. If the stockholders’ meeting is held solely by means of remote communications, the voting list shall be made available for inspection on a reasonably accessible electronic network for the entire duration of the meeting. In either case, any stockholder may inspect the voting list at any time during the meeting.

Section 1.10.      Vote Required. Subject to the provisions of the Nevada General Corporation Law requiring a higher level of votes to take certain specified actions and to the terms of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation that set special voting requirements, the stockholders shall take action on all matters other than the election of directors by a majority of the voting power of the stock present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. The stockholders shall elect directors by a plurality of the voting power of the stock present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter.

In the absence of the secretary and any assistant secretary, the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by the board of directors. At the request of the chairperson of the meeting, the inspector or inspectors shall prepare a written report of the results of the votes taken and of any other question or matter determined by the inspector or inspectors.

Section 2.12.      Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors may be taken without a meeting if all of the directors consent to the action in writing or by electronic transmission. The writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board of directors or of the relevant committee.

Section 2.13.      Compensation of Directors. The board of directors shall from time to time determine the amount and type of compensation to be paid to directors for their service on the board of directors and its committees.

Each committee shall keep such records and report to the board of directors in such manner as the board of directors may from time to time determine. Except as the board of directors may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business.

Registration of transfer of shares of the corporation’s stock shall be made only on the books of the corporation at the request of the registered holder or of the registered holder’s duly authorized attorney (as evidenced by a duly executed power of attorney provided to the corporation) and upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing those shares, if in certificated form, properly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed stock power. The board of directors may make further rules and regulations concerning the transfer and registration of shares of stock and the certificates representing them and may appoint a transfer agent or registrar or both and may require all stock certificates to bear the signature of either or both.

Section 4.5.      Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates. The corporation may issue a new stock certificate of stock in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it alleged to have been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. The board of directors may require the owner of the allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or the owner’s legal representatives, to give the corporation such bond or such surety or sureties as the board of directors, in its sole discretion, deems sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction or the issuance of such new certificate and, in the case of a certificate alleged to have been mutilated, to surrender the mutilated certificate.

Section 4.6.      Consideration for Shares. Shares in the capital stock of the corporation shall be issued in accordance with applicable laws at a fair market value determined by the board of directors notwithstanding that recourse can be made against the board of directors if shares are issued for less than fair market value, and the consideration for the share shall be fully paid in money or in property that are not less in value than the fair equivalent of the money that the corporation would have received if the share had been issued for money. The shares shall be fully paid and non-assessable and no share shall be issued until the full amount of the consideration has been paid. In determining whether property or past services are the fair equivalent of a money consideration, the board of directors may take into account reasonable charges and expenses of organization and re-organization and payments for property and past services reasonably expected to benefit the corporation. For the purposes of this section, “property” shall not include a promissory note, or a promise to pay, that is made by a person to whom a share is issued, or a person who does not deal at arm’s length, within the meaning of that expression in the Income Tax Act (Canada), with a person to whom a share is issued.
