(b) Record Date. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for the determination of shareholders. This record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days and in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than twenty (20) days before the date on which the particular action requiring the determination of shareholders is to be taken. If the stock transfer books are not closed, and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to payment of a dividend, the date on which the notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring the dividend is adopted is, as the case may be, the record date for the determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this paragraph, the determination shall apply to any adjournment(s) of such meeting, except where the determination has been made through the closing of the stock transfer books and the stated period of closing as expired.

Section 8. Retention of Certificate for Safekeeping.

The Corporation may retain each original stock certificate for safekeeping. A copy of the certificate shall be provided to the shareholder.

Article VIII

General Provisions

Section 1. Fiscal Year.

The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors.

Section 2. Seal.

The corporate seal shall be circular in form, and shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Corporation, and the words “Corporate Seal” and “State of Alaska.”

Section 3. Amendment of Bylaws.

(a) Power to Amend. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Board of Directors may amend or repeal these Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors. The shareholders shall not have the power to adopt, amend, or repeal these Bylaws.

(b) Amendments to Bylaws. Whenever an amendment of a new Bylaw is adopted, it shall be placed in the corporate book with the original Bylaw. If any Bylaw is repealed, the fact of repeal and the date on which the repeal occurred shall be placed in writing in the corporate book.

Section 4. Indemnification.

(a) In General. Every Officer, Director and employee of the Corporation, or any corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture in which the person served as such at the request of the Corporation, upon demand, may be indemnified or defended by the Corporation against the reasonable and actually incurred expenses, attorney fees, judgments, fines, penalties, or amounts paid for settlement in connection with the defense of a completed, pending, or threatened action, proceeding, suit or appeal therefrom, by reason of the fact that the person was a Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or where the person may serve as a Director of Officer of another entity at the request of or designated by the Corporation. Provided, however, that the Corporation shall not indemnify any Officer, Director, or employee who has not acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to a criminal proceeding, who had a reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Provided, further, that a claim arising from the Director, Officer or employee’s activities as a Director or Officer of another entity at the request of or designated by the Corporation shall be indemnified only to the extent not otherwise indemnified or insured by the other entity regardless of whether the person is an Officer, Director or employee at the time such expenses are incurred. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not by itself, create a presumption that the person failed to act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

(b) Defense. In indemnifying an Officer, Director, or employee under this Article, the Corporation shall at all times have the right to choose between: (1) providing a legal defense; and (2) reimbursing the Officer, Director, or employee for his or her legal defense expenses. If the Corporation chooses to defend the Officer, Director, or employee, the Corporation shall retain counsel for the defense and, to the extent permitted by applicable regulation, statute, and ethical considerations, direct the defense.

(c) Demand. Any Officer, Director, or employee may demand indemnification upon written notice to the Chairman or President of the Corporation. The demand shall state the facts and circumstances that have given rise to the demand and the indemnification requested. The Chairman or President shall place the demand for indemnification on the agenda of the next Board of Directors meeting for review, and the Board shall make its decision on indemnification at the earliest possible date.

(d) Specific Determination. No indemnification, as provided herein, shall be made by the Corporation, unless authorized in the specific case after a determination by the Board of Directors that indemnification of the person is permissible under the circumstances because the person has met the standard of conduct set forth herein. Such determination shall be made as provided by law. The decision to indemnify may be conditioned on any consideration the Board of Directors may reasonably impose, in the nature of a reservation of rights. The amount of indemnity shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, except that in any case where there is no disinterested majority of the Board available, the amount shall be fixed by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or by the shareholders.

The foregoing indemnification shall not be made by the Corporation in respect of any proceeding in which such person is adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, nor shall a person be indemnified, as provided herein, in respect of any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the person, whether or not involving action in the person's official capacity, in which the director shall have been adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the person. No indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of a duty to the Corporation except to the extent that a court in which the action was brought determines upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability, in view of all circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses which the court considers proper.

(e) Insurance. As the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Officer, employee or agent of another entity, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in any such capacity, or arising out of the person's status as such, regardless of whether the Corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against the liability under the provisions of this section.

(f) Scope. The indemnification rights granted herein shall benefit all Officers, Directors and employees, whether current or former, and shall inure to the benefit of their heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns.

(g) Relationship to Other Indemnification Rights and Standards. The indemnification authorized by this Article shall be deemed to be in addition to and not in lieu of any other right to which those indemnified may be entitled under any statutes or corporate action, including but not limited to any insurance policy the Corporation may have purchased that names the Officer, Director, or employee as a named insured. It is the intent of this Article that the Corporation indemnifies its Officers, Directors, and employees to the fullest extent allowed by Alaska Statutes 10.05.010, 10.06.490, and the successors to these statutes.

Section 5. Interested Director, Shareholder or Officer.

No contracts or other transactions between the Corporation and any other corporation or concern shall be invalid or avoidable merely because one of the more shareholders, Directors, or Officers of the Corporation are interested in or are Directors or Officers of such other corporation or concern. Any shareholder, Director or Officer of the Corporation may be part to, interested in, or profit from any contract or transaction with the Corporation, provided that the relationship, interest, or profit is disclosed to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the contract or transaction is duly approved by action of a majority of the Directors present when such action is taken, or consented to by a majority of the Directors (without counting the vote of any Director so interested or related, if a vote is cast; provided that such Director may be counted for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum); no such shareholder, Director, or Officer shall be disqualified from acting as such, nor be liable for any loss incurred under or by reason of such contract or transaction, merely by reason of such relationship or interest. Where such Director's vote is necessary to the entering of such contract or transaction, the contract or transaction shall not be void or voidable if it is fair to the Corporation at the time it is authorized or approved.

Section 6. Policies and Procedures.

The Board of Directors, by resolution, may from time to time establish such policies and procedures as it deems necessary and beneficial for the conduct of the business of the Corporation. Such policies and procedures shall be consistent with the Corporation's Articles, Bylaws, and applicable law. The Corporate Secretary shall maintain an indexed manual of all such policies and procedures showing the date each policy or procedure was adopted by the Board. The policy and procedure manual shall be available for inspection at the corporate office by any shareholder or Director during normal business hours.
