A majority of the board of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but a lesser number may adjourn to another day if a quorum is not present. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors, unless the act of a greater number is required by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Special meetings of the board may be held at any time and place, within or without the State of Washington, upon the call of the chairman of the board, the president or secretary of the corporation by written notice delivered to each director not less than three (3) days before such meeting; provided, however, that any director may, at any time, in writing, waive notice of any meeting. Attendance of a director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. For purposed of this section, “delivery” of notice of a board of director’s meeting may be accomplished either by hand−delivery, through the U.S. Postal Service, through a private parcel carrier service, or electronically by facsimile transmission. “Delivery” is completed upon receipt by the director through any of the aforementioned means except when delivery of notice is by U.S. Postal Service or private parcel carrier service, in which case, delivery shall be completed upon delivery of the notice to the director’s last known home address.

Section 3.4. Director meeting via telephone conference.

Furthermore, it is permissible for all directors to appear at a meeting of the board of directors via telephone conference or similar communication system.

Section 3.5. Action by Consent. Any action which is required to be or may be taken at a meeting of the directors may be taken without a meeting if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by all the directors.

Any director of the corporation may resign at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the board of directors, the chairman of the board, or the corporation. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if no time be specified, upon receipt thereof by the board of directors or one of the above−named officers. Vacancies on the board and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors to constitute the board of directors may be filled by a duly approved resolution of a majority of the directors then in office. If the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the board, they may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors remaining in office. The death of any director shall be treated as a voluntary resignation by the corporation.

Section 3.7. Compensation of Directors. Directors, as such, may receive such compensation and be reimbursed for expenses of attendance at any meeting of the board as shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 3.8. Committees. The board of directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the whole board, may designate two or more directors to constitute a committee. Each such committee, to the extent provided in such resolution, shall have and may exercise the authority of the board of directors, as so delegated in the resolution, in the management of the corporation; but the designation of such committee and the delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the board of directors, or any member thereof, of any responsibility imposed upon it or such member by law.

Section 3.9. Power and duties of the board of directors. The property and business of a corporation shall be controlled and managed by a board of directors; however, the board may delegate duties to the officers of the corporation to the full extent allowed by law.
