A statement of the designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the shares of each class of capital stock, except as the Board of Directors of the Corporation is herein authorized to determine by resolution, are as follows:

A. COMMON STOCK

1. Voting Rights. Except as expressly provided by law, or as otherwise provided in Part B below, or by resolution of the Board of Directors pursuant to the authority granted under Part B below, all voting, rights shall be vested in the holders of the Common Stock. Each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held on each matter to be voted on by the shareholders of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided in these Articles or by law.

2. Dividends. After all accumulated and unpaid dividends required to be paid upon any shares of Preferred Stock for all previous dividend periods shall have been paid, and sums sufficient for full payment of the dividends on all shares of Preferred Stock declared for the then current dividend period have been set apart, and after or concurrently with the setting aside of any and all amounts then required to be set aside for any sinking fund obligation or obligation of

a similar nature in respect of any series of Preferred Stock, then and not otherwise, and subject to any other applicable provisions of Part B hereof, dividends may be declared upon and paid to the holders of the Common Stock, to the exclusion of the holders of the Preferred Stock. No other restriction shall be applicable to payment of dividends on the Common Stock of the Corporation.

3. Rights Upon Liquidation. In the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to the holders of the Preferred Stock, the holders of the common Stock shall be entitled, to the extent not otherwise limited by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, to share ratably in all remaining assets of the Corporation.

B. PREFERRED STOCK

1. General. The Board of Directors shall have authority, by resolution, to divide any or all of the shares of Preferred Stock into, and to authorize the issuance of, one or more series and with respect to each such series to establish and, prior to issuance, to determine and fix:

(a) a distinguishing designation for such series and the number of shares comprising such series, which number may be increased or decreased form time to time (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by action of the Board of Directors;

(b) the rate and times at which and the other conditions upon which dividends on the shares may be declared and paid or set aside for payment, whether dividends shall be cumulative, and the date from which any dividends shall accrue;

(d) the amounts payable by preference or otherwise upon shares in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding up or distribution of the assets of the Corporation;

(e) whether any shares shall be redeemed through sinking fund payments and, if so, on what terms;

(f) whether the shares shall be convertible or exchangeable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange;

(g) whether or not the shares shall have voting rights, including the right to vote as a class on designated matters such as, but not by way of limitation, the merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all the Corporation’s assets, or the approval of designated action by a greater than two-thirds affirmative vote, and, if so, the terms and conditions thereof and any limitations thereon.

In the resolution establishing a new series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may provide for any other relative powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of such series as are consistent with the rights of all outstanding shares of capital stock, with all other provisions of this Article V, and with Colorado law.

All shares of Preferred Stock of all series shall be identical except as to the above mentioned rights and preferences which the Board of Directors is authorized as aforesaid to fix and determine. Except to the extent that the resolution of the Board of Directors establishing a particular series shall otherwise provide, in the event amounts payable upon liquidation of all series are not paid in full, all shares of Preferred Stock of all series having a liquidation preference shall participate ratably in any distribution in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable thereon to holders of all shares of Preferred Stock were discharged in full.

Shares of Preferred Stock of any series redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired may be cancelled by the Board of Directors and thereupon restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series.

ARTICLE VI

The cumulative system of voting shall not be used for any purpose.

ARTICLE VII

No holder of any of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be entitled as of right to purchase or subscribe for any unissued or treasury shares of the Corporation of any class or for any additional shares of the Corporation of any class to be issued by reason of any increase of the authorized shares of the Corporation of any class, or for any bonds, certificates of indebtedness, debentures, or other securities, rights, warrants or options convertible into shares of the Corporation of any class or carrying any right to purchase shares of the Corporation of any class.

ARTICLE VIII

No contract or other transaction between the Corporation and any other person, firm, partnership, corporation, joint venture or syndicate shall be in any way affected or invalidated by the fact that any director of the Corporation is pecuniarily or otherwise interested in, or is a director, officer, shareholder, employee or member of such other firm, partnership, corporation, joint venture or syndicate, if such contract shall be authorized, approved or ratified by the affirmative vote of the majority of the directors of the Corporation present who are not so interested. Any director individually, or any firm, partnership, joint venture or syndicate of which any director is a partner or in any way interested, may be a party to or may be interested in any contract or transaction of the Corporation provided that such interest is disclosed or known to the Board of Directors, or a majority thereof, and provided, further, that such contract or transaction is authorized, approved or ratified by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the directors of the Corporation present who are not so interested. Interested directors may be counted when present at meetings of the Board of Directors for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum.

ARTICLE IX

9.1 Number. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by a Board of Directors. The authorized number of directors of the Corporation may be stated in or

fixed in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation, but shall never be less than the minimum number permitted by the general laws of the State of Colorado now or hereafter in force.

9.2 Election of Directors. Except as provided in the Company’s Bylaws with respect to the election of a Director to fill a vacancy in the Board of Directors, each Director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the Director at any shareholder meeting held for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, or an adjournment thereof; provided, however, that if as of the date that is ten days in advance of the date the Company files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented) with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to a shareholder meeting the number of nominees for election as a Director is greater than the number of directors to be elected, then the Directors shall be elected at the meeting by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at that meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Directors. For purposes of this Section, a majority of the votes cast means the number of shares voted “for” a Director exceeds the number of votes cast “against” the Director. Broker non-votes and abstentions will not be considered votes cast at the shareholder meeting and will be excluded in determining the number of votes cast at the shareholder meeting. Each Director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected and until his successor has been elected and qualified.

9.3 Removal. The entire Board of Directors or any lesser number may be removed, with or without cause, by a vote of at least two-thirds of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

ARTICLE X

The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in, or to add any provisions to, its Articles of Incorporation from time to time, in any manner now or hereafter prescribed or permitted by the provisions of the statutes of the State of Colorado, and all rights and powers conferred upon directors and shareholders hereby are granted subject to this reservation.

ARTICLE XI

No director of the Corporation shall have any liability to the Corporation or to its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the Colorado Corporation Code, as amended from time to time. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
