The corporation may also have offices at such other places, within or without the State of Oregon, as the Board may designate or the business of the corporation may require.

The Board may change the registered office or registered agent from time to time by filing the appropriate statement of change with the Oregon Secretary of State as provided in ORS 60.114.

ARTICLE II — SHAREHOLDERS

Section 2.1 Annual Meeting. Pursuant to ORS 60.201, the corporation shall hold an annual meeting of shareholders at a time stated in or fixed in accordance with these Bylaws, for the election of directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting. The annual meeting shall be held on [____________________], or on such other date and at such time as the Board may fix. The failure to hold an annual meeting at the designated time does not affect the validity of any corporate action.

Section 2.2 Special Meetings. Pursuant to ORS 60.204, special meetings of shareholders may be called by the Board, by the person(s) authorized by the Articles or these Bylaws, or by the holders of at least ten percent (10%) of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the meeting (or such other proportion as the Articles may provide, subject to the statutory maximum). Only business within the purpose(s) described in the meeting notice may be conducted at a special meeting.

Section 2.3 Place of Meetings; Remote Participation. Annual and special meetings of shareholders may be held in or out of the State of Oregon at the place stated in or fixed in accordance with these Bylaws. If no place is so stated or fixed, meetings shall be held at the corporation's principal office. Pursuant to ORS 60.222, if authorized by the Board in its sole discretion (or by these Bylaws), and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, shareholders and proxy holders not physically present may, by means of remote communication, participate in and be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting, subject to the verification and participation safeguards of that section.

Section 2.4 Notice of Meetings. Pursuant to ORS 60.214, the corporation shall notify shareholders of the date, time, and place (if any) of each annual and special meeting no fewer than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting date. Notice of a special meeting must include a description of the purpose(s) for which the meeting is called. Notice of an annual meeting need not state its purpose unless otherwise required by the Act or the Articles. Unless the Act or the Articles require otherwise, the corporation is required to give notice only to shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 2.5 Waiver of Notice. Pursuant to ORS 60.217, a shareholder may waive any required notice before or after the date and time stated in the notice, by a signed written waiver delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. A shareholder's attendance at a meeting waives objection to lack of, or defective, notice unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business, and waives objection to consideration of a matter not within the purpose stated in the notice unless the shareholder objects when the matter is presented.

Section 2.6 Record Date. Pursuant to ORS 60.221, the Board may fix in advance a record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting, to take action by written consent, to receive a distribution, or for any other purpose. A record date may not be more than seventy (70) days before the meeting or action requiring a determination of shareholders. If not otherwise fixed, the record date is determined as provided in the Act.

Section 2.7 Shareholders' List. Pursuant to ORS 60.224, after fixing a record date for a meeting, the corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of all shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting, by voting group and showing the address and number of shares held by each, and shall make the list available for inspection as provided in that section.

Section 2.8 Quorum. Pursuant to ORS 60.241, shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter only if a quorum of those shares exists. Unless the Act or the Articles provide otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and any adjournment, unless a new record date is or must be set.

Section 2.9 Voting. Pursuant to ORS 60.227, except as otherwise provided by the Act or the Articles, each outstanding share is entitled to one (1) vote on each matter voted on at a shareholders' meeting. Pursuant to ORS 60.241, if a quorum exists, action on a matter (other than the election of directors) by a voting group is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the Act or the Articles require a greater number. The election of directors is governed by ORS 60.251.

Section 2.10 Proxies. Pursuant to ORS 60.231, a shareholder or the shareholder's agent or attorney-in-fact may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the shareholder by signing an appointment form or by an electronic transmission. An appointment is valid for eleven (11) months unless a different period is expressly provided, and is revocable unless it is conspicuously stated to be irrevocable and is coupled with an interest.

Section 2.11 Action by Written Consent. Pursuant to ORS 60.211, any action required or permitted to be taken at a shareholders' meeting may be taken without a meeting if one or more written consents describing the action are signed by all shareholders entitled to vote on the action and delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. Action taken by written consent is effective when the last shareholder signs the consent, unless the consent specifies an earlier or later effective date.

Section 2.12 Adjournment. Pursuant to ORS 60.219, unless these Bylaws require otherwise, if a meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time, or place if announced at the meeting before adjournment; provided that notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to persons who are shareholders as of a new record date if a new record date is or must be fixed.

ARTICLE III — BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 3.1 General Powers. Pursuant to ORS 60.301, all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed under the direction of, the Board, subject to any limitation set forth in the Articles or a shareholders' agreement authorized by the Act.

Section 3.2 Number and Qualifications. Pursuant to ORS 60.307, the Board shall consist of one (1) or more directors, with the number specified as [____] director(s) or fixed from time to time as provided in these Bylaws within a range of not fewer than [____] nor more than [____]. Pursuant to ORS 60.304, directors need not be residents of Oregon or shareholders unless the Articles or these Bylaws so require.

Section 3.3 Election and Term. Pursuant to ORS 60.307 and 60.314, directors are elected at the first annual shareholders' meeting and at each annual meeting thereafter (unless their terms are staggered under ORS 60.317).

Section 3.4 Resignation. Pursuant to ORS 60.321, a director may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board, its chairperson, or the corporation. A resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless it specifies a later effective date.

Section 3.5 Removal. Pursuant to ORS 60.324, the shareholders may remove one or more directors with or without cause unless the Articles provide that directors may be removed only for cause. A director may be removed only at a meeting called for that purpose, and the meeting notice must state that the purpose (or one of the purposes) is removal of the director.

Section 3.6 Vacancies. Pursuant to ORS 60.331, unless the Articles provide otherwise, a vacancy on the Board (including one resulting from an increase in the number of directors) may be filled by the shareholders, by the Board, or, if the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all directors remaining in office.

Section 3.7 Regular Meetings. Pursuant to ORS 60.337, the Board may hold regular meetings, in or out of the State of Oregon, at such times and places as it may determine, and may permit any or all directors to participate by means of communication described in Section 3.11.

Section 3.9 Notice of Special Meetings.

Notice may be waived as provided in ORS 60.347; a director's attendance at or participation in a meeting waives any required notice unless the director, at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival, objects to holding the meeting or transacting business and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken.

Section 3.10 Quorum and Voting. Pursuant to ORS 60.351, unless the Articles or these Bylaws require a greater number, a quorum of the Board consists of a majority of the number of directors fixed (or, for a variable-range board, in office immediately before the meeting begins). The Articles or these Bylaws may authorize a quorum of no fewer than one-third (1/3) of that number. If a quorum is present when a vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of directors present is the act of the Board unless the Articles or these Bylaws require the vote of a greater number.

Section 3.11 Telephonic and Electronic Meetings. Pursuant to ORS 60.337, unless the Articles or these Bylaws provide otherwise, the Board may permit any director to participate in a meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting; a director so participating is deemed present in person at the meeting.

Section 3.12 Action Without Meeting. Pursuant to ORS 60.341, unless the Articles or these Bylaws provide otherwise, any action required or permitted to be taken at a Board meeting may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board consent to the action in writing. The action is effective when the last director signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date, and has the same effect as action taken at a meeting.

Section 3.13 Compensation. Pursuant to ORS 60.334, the Board may fix the compensation of directors and may provide for reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.

Section 3.14 General Standards for Directors. Pursuant to ORS 60.357, each director shall discharge the director's duties as a director in good faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, and in a manner the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, and is entitled to rely on the information, opinions, reports, and statements described in that section.

ARTICLE IV — COMMITTEES

Section 4.1 Creation of Committees. Pursuant to ORS 60.354, unless the Articles or these Bylaws provide otherwise, the Board may create one or more committees and appoint members of the Board to serve on them. The creation of a committee and the appointment of members must be approved by the greater of (a) a majority of all directors in office when the action is taken or (b) the number of directors required by the Articles or these Bylaws to take action under ORS 60.351.

Section 4.2 Authority of Committees. To the extent specified by the Board or these Bylaws, each committee may exercise the authority of the Board. A committee may not, however: (a) authorize distributions; (b) approve or propose to shareholders action that the Act requires be approved by shareholders; (c) fill vacancies on the Board or any committee; (d) amend the Articles; (e) adopt, amend, or repeal these Bylaws; (f) approve a plan of merger not requiring shareholder approval; (g) authorize or approve reacquisition of shares (except according to a formula or method prescribed by the Board); or (h) authorize or approve the issuance or sale of shares (except within limits prescribed by the Board), all as provided in ORS 60.354.

ARTICLE V — OFFICERS

Section 5.1 Officers. Pursuant to ORS 60.371, the corporation shall have the officers described in these Bylaws or appointed by the Board in accordance with these Bylaws. The officers shall include a President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer, and may include a Chair of the Board, one or more Vice Presidents, and such other officers and assistant officers as the Board deems necessary. The same individual may simultaneously hold more than one office. One of the officers shall have responsibility for preparing minutes of the meetings of the shareholders and the Board and for authenticating records of the corporation.

The Board may remove any officer at any time with or without cause. Pursuant to ORS 60.384, the appointment of an officer does not itself create contract rights.

Section 5.4 President. The President shall be the principal executive officer of the corporation (unless the Board designates another officer as such) and, subject to the Board's control, shall supervise and control the business and affairs of the corporation, shall preside at meetings of shareholders and of the Board in the absence of a Chair of the Board, and shall perform such other duties as the Board may assign.

ARTICLE VI — SHARES AND TRANSFERS

Section 6.1 Issuance of Shares. Pursuant to ORS 60.147, the Board may authorize the issuance of shares for consideration consisting of any tangible or intangible property or benefit to the corporation. Shares may be certificated or uncertificated as determined by the Board.

Section 6.2 Share Certificates. Pursuant to ORS 60.161, if shares are certificated, each certificate shall state on its face the name of the corporation and that it is organized under the laws of Oregon, the name of the person to whom issued, and the number and class (and series, if any) of shares represented.

Section 6.5 Transfer Restrictions. Pursuant to ORS 60.167, the corporation may impose restrictions on the transfer or registration of transfer of shares; a restriction is valid and enforceable against the holder or a transferee if it is authorized by that section and its existence is noted conspicuously on the certificate or contained in the information statement for uncertificated shares.

Section 6.6 Lost, Destroyed, or Stolen Certificates. The Board may direct the issuance of a new certificate (or uncertificated shares) in place of any certificate alleged to have been lost, destroyed, or wrongfully taken, upon receipt of an affidavit of that fact and, if the Board requires, a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation.

ARTICLE VII — INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

Section 7.1 Authority to Indemnify Directors. Pursuant to ORS 60.391, and except as that section otherwise limits, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, an individual made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (a) the conduct of the individual was in good faith; (b) the individual reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in the individual's official capacity with the corporation, that the conduct was in the corporation's best interests, and (ii) in all other cases, that the conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests; and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or plea of nolo contendere is not, of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the relevant standard of conduct.

Section 7.2 Limitations on Indemnification. As provided in ORS 60.391, the corporation may not indemnify a director: (a) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation, except for reasonable expenses; or (b) in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that the director derived an improper personal benefit. Indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred.

Section 7.3 Mandatory Indemnification. Pursuant to ORS 60.394, unless limited by the Articles, the corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because the director is or was a director, against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

Section 7.4 Advance of Expenses to Directors. Pursuant to ORS 60.397, the corporation may, before final disposition of a proceeding, pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding if: (a) the director delivers to the corporation a written affirmation of the director's good-faith belief that the director has met the standard of conduct described in ORS 60.391; (b) the director delivers to the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on the director's behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that the director did not meet the standard of conduct; and (c) a determination is made that the facts then known would not preclude indemnification. The undertaking is an unlimited general obligation of the director, need not be secured, and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to repay.

Section 7.5 Determination and Authorization. Pursuant to ORS 60.404, a determination that indemnification of a director is permissible, and any authorization of indemnification or advance of expenses, shall be made: (a) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; (b) if such a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of two or more directors not parties to the proceeding; (c) by special legal counsel; or (d) by the shareholders (excluding shares owned by or voted under the control of directors who are parties to the proceeding).

Section 7.6 Indemnification of Officers, Employees, and Agents. Pursuant to ORS 60.407, unless limited by the Articles, an officer is entitled to mandatory indemnification under ORS 60.394 and may apply for court-ordered indemnification under ORS 60.401 to the same extent as a director, the corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent to the same extent as to a director, and the corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent who is not a director to a further extent consistent with public policy if provided for by the Articles, these Bylaws, a resolution of the Board, or contract.

Section 7.7 Insurance. Pursuant to ORS 60.411, the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation against liability asserted against or incurred by the individual in that capacity or arising from the individual's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have power to indemnify the individual against the same liability under the Act.

Section 7.8 Non-Exclusivity; Continuation. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article are in addition to and not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled. Such rights continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity that gave rise to the right and inure to the benefit of the person's heirs, executors, and administrators, consistent with the Act.

ARTICLE VIII — DISTRIBUTIONS AND DIVIDENDS

Section 8.1 Authorization. Pursuant to ORS 60.181, the Board may authorize, and the corporation may make, distributions to its shareholders (including dividends) at such times and in such amounts as the Board determines, subject to any restriction in the Articles and to the limitations of that section.

Section 8.2 Limitations. No distribution may be made if, after giving it effect: (a) the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or (b) the corporation's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus (unless the Articles permit otherwise) the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution, all as provided in ORS 60.181.

Section 8.3 Record Date for Distributions. The Board may fix a record date for determining shareholders entitled to a distribution in accordance with ORS 60.221. If no record date is fixed, the record date is the date the Board authorizes the distribution.

Pursuant to ORS 60.771, the corporation shall keep as permanent records minutes of all meetings of its shareholders and Board, a record of all actions taken by the shareholders or Board without a meeting, and a record of all actions taken by a committee of the Board in place of the Board. The corporation shall maintain appropriate accounting records and a record of its shareholders in a form that permits preparation of an alphabetical list by class of shares. The corporation shall keep a copy of the records specified in ORS 60.771 (including the Articles, these Bylaws, certain resolutions, shareholder-meeting minutes for the past three years, written communications to shareholders, a list of current directors and officers, and the most recent annual report) at its principal or registered office.

Section 9.2 Shareholder Inspection Rights. Pursuant to ORS 60.774, a shareholder is entitled to inspect and copy corporate records, subject to the conditions and procedures of that section, including a written demand made in good faith and for a proper purpose, describing with reasonable particularity the purpose and the records desired, where the records are directly connected with the stated purpose.

Section 9.3 Annual Report. Pursuant to ORS 60.787, the corporation shall deliver to the Oregon Secretary of State the annual report required by that section and shall maintain a copy with its corporate records.

ARTICLE X — CORPORATE SEAL, FISCAL YEAR, AND GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 10.2 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the corporation shall end on [____________________] of each year, or on such other date as the Board may determine by resolution.

Section 10.3 Conflict with Articles or Act. In the event of any conflict between these Bylaws and the Articles or the Act, the Articles or the Act, as applicable, shall control.

Section 10.4 Severability. If any provision of these Bylaws is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

ARTICLE XI — AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS

Section 11.1 Amendment by Board. Pursuant to ORS 60.434, the Board may amend or repeal these Bylaws unless (a) the Articles, the Act, or ORS 60.437 reserve that power exclusively to the shareholders in whole or in part, or (b) the shareholders, in amending, repealing, or adopting a particular bylaw, expressly provide that the Board may not amend, repeal, or readopt that bylaw.

Section 11.2 Amendment by Shareholders. Pursuant to ORS 60.437, the shareholders may amend or repeal these Bylaws even though the Bylaws may also be amended or repealed by the Board.

Section 11.3 Bylaw Increasing Quorum or Voting Requirement. A bylaw that increases a quorum or voting requirement for shareholders or for the Board may be adopted, amended, or repealed only in the manner provided in ORS 60.464 (shareholder quorum/voting bylaws) and ORS 60.467 (director quorum/voting bylaws), as applicable.

ARTICLE XII — EMERGENCY BYLAWS

Section 12.1 Emergency Bylaws. Pursuant to ORS 60.064, the Board may adopt emergency bylaws, subject to amendment or repeal by the shareholders, that are operative during an emergency as defined in that section (an emergency exists if a quorum of the Board cannot readily be assembled because of some catastrophic event).

Section 12.2 Notice and Quorum During Emergency. During an emergency, notice of a Board meeting need be given only to those directors whom it is practicable to reach and may be given by any practicable means. One or more officers of the corporation present at a Board meeting may be deemed directors for the meeting, in order of rank and within the same rank in order of seniority, as necessary to achieve a quorum.

Section 12.3 Lines of Succession; Relocation. The emergency bylaws may provide lines of succession for officers and directors, the relocation of the principal office, and the designation of alternative offices or alternative directors, consistent with the Act.

Section 12.4 Effect; Liability; Emergency Powers. Pursuant to ORS 60.081, corporate action taken in good faith in accordance with the emergency bylaws or emergency powers binds the corporation and may not be used to impose liability on a director, officer, employee, or agent. To the extent not inconsistent with any emergency bylaws so adopted, these Bylaws remain in effect during the emergency, and upon termination of the emergency the emergency bylaws cease to be operative.
