For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or
entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful action (other than with respect to notice or voting at a shareholders' meeting or action
by shareholders by written consent without a meeting), the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than
sixty (60) days prior to any such action. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive the
dividend, distribution or allotment or rights, or to exercise the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books
of the Corporation after the record date, except as otherwise provided for in the Articles of Incorporation or the Code.

All checks, drafts, other orders for payments of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation, and all written
contracts of the Corporation, shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents, as the Board of Directors may from time to time
designate. No officer, agent, or employee of the Corporation shall have the power to bind the Corporation by contract or otherwise unless
authorized to do so by these Bylaws or by the Board of Directors.
