Notice of any special meeting of shareholders shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of any meeting of shareholders shall not be required to be given to any shareholder who, in person or by his attorney thereunto authorized, either before or after such meeting, shall waive such notice. Attendance of a shareholder at a meeting, either in person or by proxy, shall of itself constitute waiver of notice and waiver of any and all objections to the place of the meeting, the time of the meeting, and the manner in which it has been called or convened, except when a shareholder attends a meeting solely for the purpose of stating, at the beginning of the meeting, any such objection or objections to the transaction of business.

Each shareholder shall have one vote for each share of stock having voting power, registered in his name on the books of the Corporation. The affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders, except as otherwise provided by law or the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation.

2.7Consent Action.

Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a part to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of this Corporation, or of a similar position for another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of this Corporation, shall be indemnified by this Corporation, against all judgments and fines rendered against or imposed upon him in such action or proceeding and all amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and shall be indemnified for all expenses, (including attorney’s fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of this Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contenders or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in a manner which he reasonably believe to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, or that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
