The number of directors shall be determined from time to time by a resolution of the Board of Directors, or, as to the initial number, by the incorporator. A Director need not be a resident of the State of Utah but must be a person 18 years of age or older. The directors may elect from their number a director to serve as president of the Board of Directors, for such term and with such authority as may be granted by the Board of Directors.

Each director shall hold office until the next regular annual meeting of the Board of Directors and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal. No decrease in the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director.
4.4 Regular Meetings. The regular annual meeting of Board of Directors shall be held on such day, and at such place, as shall be designated in the notice of such meeting for the purpose of electing members of the Board of Directors and officers, and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting.

The method of notice need not be the same to each director. Notice shall be deemed to be given, if mailed, on the earlier of the date it is received or five days after it is deposited in the United States mail, with postage prepaid, addressed to the director at such director’s business or residence address; if personally delivered, when delivered to the director; if delivered by facsimile, upon confirmation of receipt by the receiving facsimile machine; if delivered by email, upon written confirmation of receipt by nonautomated response; and, if telephoned, when communicated to the director. Any director may waive notice of any meeting. The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, unless at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon the director’s later arrival, the director objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting because of lack or notice or defective notice and after objecting, the director does not vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting unless required by the Act.
4.7 Quorum. A quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors shall consist of a majority of the directors then in office, except that if less than a majority of the directors then in office are present at any such meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.
4.8 Telephonic Meetings. Directors may participate in and act at any meeting of the Board of Directors through the use of a conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear and communicate with each other. Participation in such meeting shall constitute attendance and presence in person at the meeting of the person or persons so participating for all purposes herein.
4.9 Proxies. For purposes of determining a quorum with respect to a particular proposal, and for purposes of casting a vote for or against a particular proposal, a director may be considered to be present at a meeting and to vote if the director has granted a signed written proxy to another director who is present at the meeting and which authorizes the other director to cast the vote that is directed to be cast by the written proxy with respect to the particular proposal that is described with reasonably specificity in the proxy. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. Participation in such meeting by proxy shall constitute attendance and presence in person at the meeting of the person or persons so participating by proxy for all purposes herein; provided that for purposes of Section 4.11, any director participating by proxy shall not be deemed to have participated in such meeting except with respect to the matters set forth in the written proxy.
4.10 Manner of Acting. The act of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall, unless the act of a greater number of directors is required by the Articles of Incorporation, the Act or these Bylaws, be the act of the Board of Directors.
4.11 Presumption of Assent. A director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors when corporate action is taken is considered to have consented to the action taken at the meeting unless the director objects at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon arrival, to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or consent to any action taken at the meeting, or the director contemporaneously requests his or her dissent or abstention as to any specific action to be entered into the minutes of the meeting, or the director causes written notice of a dissent or abstention as to a specific action to be received by the presiding officer of the meeting before adjournment of the meeting or by the Corporation promptly after adjournment of the meeting.
4.12 Resignation. A director may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to either the Board of Directors, or the President of the Board of Directors or the Secretary of the Corporation, and unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective but such resignation shall be effective when notice is delivered.
4.13 Removal of Directors. Directors may be removed from office by the Board of Directors. The removal may be with or without cause.
4.14 Vacancies and Increase in Number of Directors. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum. Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors shall be filled by the Board of Directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy, or as a result of an increase in the number of directors, shall hold such office until the next regular annual meeting of the Board of Directors and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.
4.15 Action by Written Consent. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if each and every member of the board in writing either (a) votes for the action, or (b) votes against the action or abstains from voting, and waives the right to demand that action not be taken without a meeting. Such a vote shall have the same legal effect as a vote of all the directors and may be described as such in any document.
4.16 Fees and Compensation. Directors shall not receive compensation for their services as such, although the reasonable expenses of directors of attendance at board meetings may be paid or reimbursed by the Corporation. This section shall not be construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity as an officer, agent, employee or otherwise and receiving compensation for those services.
4.17 Procedure. The Board of Directors may adopt its own rules of procedure that shall not be inconsistent with these Bylaws.
ARTICLE 5: COMMITTEES AND ADVISORY BOARDS

5.2 Powers. Each committee and advisory board shall have and may exercise all powers relating to the business and affairs of the Corporation as may be granted to it by the Board of Directors at the time of its designation or thereafter by written approval of a majority of all directors then in office, except for such power as by law may not be delegated by the Board of Directors to a committee or advisory board.
5.3 Term of Office. Each member of a committee or advisory board shall continue as such until the next regular annual meeting of the Board of Directors and until a successor is appointed, unless the committee or advisory board shall be sooner terminated, or unless such member is sooner removed by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, or ceases to qualify as a member thereof.
5.4 Chair. One member of each committee and advisory board shall be appointed committee chair by the President of the Board of Directors.
5.5 Vacancies. Vacancies in the membership of a committee or advisory board may be filled by appointments made in the same manner as provided in the case of the original appointments.
5.6 Quorum. Unless otherwise provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors designating a committee or advisory board, a majority of the whole committee or advisory board , as the case may be, shall constitute a quorum and the act of a majority of the members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the committee or advisory board, as the case may be.
5.7 Rules. Each committee or advisory board may adopt rules for its own governance not inconsistent with these Bylaws or with rules adopted by the Board of Directors.

8.3 Determination. The Corporation may not indemnify an Indemnified Party under Section 8.2 unless a determination has been made in the specific case that indemnification of the Indemnified Party is permissible under the circumstances and under the law of the State of Utah.
