meeting, the Board shall call a special meeting of the Shareholders as soon as

meeting, to each Shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. Only
Shareholders of record on the record date established by the Board of Directors
pursuant to Section 6 of this Article III will be entitled to notice of such
meeting. If mailed, such notice will be deemed to be delivered when deposited
with postage prepaid in the United States mail addressed to the Shareholder at
the address of the Shareholder as appears on the stock transfer books of the

person or represented by proxy at a duly organized meeting may continue to
transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
Shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken other than

any meeting of the Shareholders, those Shareholders present in person or
represented by proxy and entitled to vote will have power to adjourn the meeting

meeting of the Shareholders, every Shareholder having the right to vote shall be

meeting.

(b) When a quorum is present at any meeting, the affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes represented by the issued and outstanding shares entitled
to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall decide any matter
brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express
provision of the laws of the State of Alaska or of the Articles of
Incorporation, a different vote is required, in which case such express
provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

(c) Except as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation
with respect to the Preferred Stock and except as otherwise expressly required

payment of any dividend, or to make a determination of the Shareholders of
record for any proper purpose, the Board may do the following: (i) prescribe a
record date which will be neither more than 70 days nor less than 20 days, prior

execution. No proxy shall be valid and voted on after the meeting of the
Shareholders, or any adjournment of such meeting, to which it applies. Every
proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Shareholders executing it,
except in those cases where an irrevocable proxy is duly executed and permitted
by law.

of such shares into that person’s name.

bankruptcy trustee may be voted by that person, and shares held by or under the

Shareholder proposal, the presiding officer of the meeting shall have the power

Section 14 or is not a proper subject for Shareholder action, to declare that
the defective nomination or proposal is disregarded.

ARTICLE IV

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 1. General Authority. The
property, business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed and
controlled by its Board, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation
and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by applicable law or the
Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised
or done by the Shareholders.

Section 2. Number, Qualifications and Term of
Office
.
(a) The governing body of this Corporation shall be the
Board, subject to the following:

(1) The number of directors shall not be less than three nor more than
twelve; provided that (A) the number of directors shall be fixed by the Board
from time to time by a vote of at least a simple majority of the whole Board at
a regular or special meeting called by written notice, which notice shall
include notice to change the number of directors and (B) no decrease in the
number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent
director;

(2) Until changed as provided in this Section 2, the number of directors on
the Board shall be seven;

(3) Each director shall be of a legal age, which shall be defined for
purposes of this Section 2 as an age between and including 21 and 75 years, and
in the event a person shall reach the upper limit of that age while a director,
that person’s term as director shall immediately terminate and that director
shall resign from the Board;

(4) Each nominee as, and each person appointed or otherwise elected as, a
director of the Board shall at all times satisfy other qualifications as set
forth in the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter
approved by the Board; and

(5) Directors on the Board shall not need to be Shareholders and shall not
need to be residents of the State of Alaska.

(b) Upon the establishment of the Board as having three or more members
(“Class Date”), the Board will be divided into three classes: Class I, Class II
and Class III. Each such class will consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third
of the whole number of the Board. Directors in office on the Class Date will be
divided among such classes and in such manner, consistent with the provisions of
this Article IV, as the Board may determine by resolution. The initial Class I
directors so determined shall serve until the next Annual Meeting following such
date. The initial Class II directors so determined shall serve until the second
Annual Meeting following such date. The initial Class III directors so
determined shall serve until the third Annual Meeting following such date. In
the case of each such class, such directors shall serve, subject to their
earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Articles of
Incorporation, these Bylaws and the laws of the State of Alaska, until their
respective successors shall be elected and shall qualify. At each Annual Meeting
after the date of such filing, the directors chosen to succeed those whose terms
shall have expired shall be elected to hold office for a term to expire at the
third succeeding Annual Meeting after their election and, subject to their
earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Articles of
Incorporation, these Bylaws and the laws of the State of Alaska, until their
respective successors shall be elected and shall qualify. If the number of
directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among such
classes so as to maintain all classes as equal in number as possible, and any
additional director elected to any class shall hold office for a term which
shall coincide with the terms of the other directors in such class.

(c) As used in these Bylaws, the terms “whole Board” or “entire Board” shall
mean the number of directors the Corporation would have under these Bylaws at
the time of determination if there were no vacancies.

Section 3. Elections. (a) Other than
as provided in Section 2 of this Article IV, the directors of the Corporation
shall be elected at the Annual Meeting or at a special meeting of Shareholders
called for that purpose, by at least a simple majority of the quorum for that
meeting.

(b) Any vacancy occurring in the Board caused by death, resignation, removal
and any newly created directorship resulting from an increase in the number of
directors on the Board, may be filled by the directors then in office, although
such directors are less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. Each
director chosen to fill a vacancy or a newly created directorship shall hold
office until the next election of the Class for which such director shall have
been chosen or, if no class is established, then until the next election of
directors and, subject to that director’s earlier death, resignation or removal
in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws and the laws of
the State of Alaska, until that director’s successor shall be duly elected and
shall qualify.

(c) Any director may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board
of Directors, the President, Chairman of the Board, or the Secretary of the
Corporation. Any such resignation will take effect upon receipt of such notice
or at any later time specified in the notice. Unless otherwise specified in the
notice, the acceptance of such resignation will not be necessary to make any
postdated resignation by notice in writing to the resigning director. In the
event the resignation of a director is tendered to take effect at a future time,
a successor may be elected to take office when the resignation becomes
effective.

(d) The Shareholders may elect a director to fill any vacancy not filled by
the Board.

(e) The term of a director terminates upon the election and qualification of
a successor.

Section 4. Removal of Directors.
(a) The entire Board or any individual director may be removed from office, at
an Annual Meeting or a special meeting of Shareholders called for that purpose,
by at least, a majority vote of a quorum of Shareholders for that meeting.

(b) If, after the filling of a vacancy by the Board, the directors who have
been elected by the Shareholders constitute less than a majority of the
directors, a holder or holders of an aggregate of 10 percent or more of the
shares outstanding at the time may call a special meeting of Shareholders to
elect the entire Board.

(c) The Board may declare vacant the office of a director who has been
declared of unsound mind by a court order.

(d) The superior court may, at the suit of the Board or of Shareholders
holding at least 10 percent of the number of outstanding shares of any class,
remove from office a director for fraudulent or dishonest acts, gross neglect of
duty, or gross abuse of authority or discretion with reference to the
Corporation and may bar from reelection a director removed in that manner for a
period prescribed by the court. In this instance, the Corporation will be made a
party to the suit.

(e) Except as set forth in (a)-(d) of this Section 4, a director may not be
removed from office before the expiration of the term of office of that
director.

Section 5. Executive Committee. (a)
By the affirmative vote of at least 75 percent of the directors, the Board may
designate an Executive Committee, all of whose members shall be directors, to
manage and operate the affairs of the Corporation or particular properties or
enterprises of the Corporation, except to the extent Shareholder authorization
is required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws. The Executive
Committee will have the power, as set forth by resolution of the Board or these
Bylaws to perform or authorize any act that could be done or accomplished by the
majority action of all the directors of the Corporation, except as provided in
(b) of this Section 5. The Executive Committee shall keep minutes of its
meetings and report to the Board not less often than quarterly on its activities

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. Non-Derivative Actions.
The Corporation will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of or arising from
the fact that that person 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 corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise. Amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by that person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding may include reimbursement of expenses, attorney fees, judgments,
fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by that
person in connection with the action or proceedings if that person acted in good
faith and in a manner that that 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 no reasonable cause to believe the conduct
was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit and proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere
or its equivalent, will not of itself create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which that 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, the person had reasonable cause to believe
that the conduct was unlawful.

Section 2. Derivative Actions. The
Corporation will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason for
arising from the fact that he 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 corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise. This indemnification will cover
reimbursement for expenses (including attorney fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by that person in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action if that person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

Section 3. Reimbursement Conditions.
(a) Indemnification will not 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 the person’s duty to the Corporation, except to
the extent that the court in which the action was brought determines upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability, in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for expenses that the court considers proper.

(b) To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of an
action or proceeding as described in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VI or in
defense of a claim, issue, or matter in the action or proceeding, the director,
officer, employee, or agent will be indemnified against expenses and attorney
fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense.

(c) Unless otherwise ordered by a court, indemnification under Sections 1 or
2 of this Article VI may only be made by the Corporation upon a determination
that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in
the circumstances because the director, officer, employee, or agent has met the
applicable standard of conduct set out in those sections. The determination will
be made by:

(1) The Board by at least a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
who were not parties to the action or proceeding; or

(2) Independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum under (c)(1)
of this Section 3 is

(A) not obtainable;

(B) obtainable but a majority of disinterested directors so directs; or

(C) Approval of the outstanding shares of the Corporation.

(d) The Corporation may pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred in
defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final
disposition in the manner provided in (c) of this Section 3 if:

(1) In the case of a director or officer, the director or officer furnishes
the Corporation with a written affirmation of a good faith belief that the
standard of conduct described in AS 10.06.450(b) or 10.06.483(e) of the Alaska
Corporations Code has been met;

(2) The director, officer, employee, or agent furnishes the Corporation a
written unlimited general undertaking, executed personally or on behalf of the
individual, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that an
applicable standard of conduct was not met; and

(3) A determination is made that the facts then known to those making the
determination would not preclude indemnification under the Alaska Corporations
Code.

(e) The indemnification provided under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VI is
not exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may
be entitled under a bylaw, agreement, vote of Shareholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise, both as to action in the official capacity of the
person and as to action in another capacity while holding the office. The right
to indemnification continues as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee, or agent, and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors,
and administrators of the person.

Section 4. Insurance. At the
discretion of the Board, 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 corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against that
person and incurred by that person in any such capacity, or arising out of that
status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify that
person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI.

Alaska; (2) the name of the person to whom the shares are issued; (3) the number
and class of shares, and the designation of the series, if any, that the shares
represent; and (4) a full or summary statement of the designations, preferences,
limitations, and relative rights of the shares of each class authorized to be
issued and, if the Corporation is authorized to issue preferred or special class
in series, the variations in the relative rights and preferences between the
shares of each series so far as they have been fixed and determined and the
authority of the Board to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences
of subsequent series.

Corporation shall be deemed by the Corporation to be the owner thereof for all
purposes, and the Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or
other claim to, or interest in, such share or shares on the part of any other
person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as
shall otherwise be provided by the laws of the State of Alaska.

transfer set forth in the Articles of Incorporation or amendments to them, these
Bylaws or other agreement restricting such transfer which has been filed with
the Corporation if reference to any such restrictions is made on the
certificates representing such securities. The Corporation will not be bound by
any restriction not so filed and noted. The Corporation may rely in good faith
upon the opinion of its counsel as to any legal or contractual violation with
respect to any such restrictions unless the issue has been finally determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction. The Corporation and any party to such

ARTICLE IX

TRANSACTIONS WITH OFFICERS,

DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS

Section 1. Director Material
Interest
.
A contract or other transaction between the Corporation
and one or more of the directors of the Corporation, or between the Corporation
and a corporation, firm, or association in which one or more of the directors of
the Corporation has a material financial interest, is neither void nor voidable
because the director or directors or other corporation, firm, or association is
a party or because the director or directors is present at the meeting of the
Board that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction, if the
material facts as to the transaction and as to the director’s interest are fully
disclosed or known to the (1) Shareholders and the contract or transaction is
approved by the Shareholders in good faith, with the shares owned by the
interested director or directors not being entitled to vote; or (2) Board, and
the Board authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction in good
faith by a sufficient vote without counting the vote of the interested director
or directors, and the person asserting the validity of the contract or
transaction sustains the burden of proving that the contract or transaction was
just and reasonable as to the Corporation at the time it was authorized,
approved, or ratified.

Section 2. Common Directorships, Votes on
Compensation
.
(a) A common directorship does not alone constitute a
material financial interest within the meaning of this Article IX. A director is
not interested, within the meaning of this Article IX, in a resolution fixing
the compensation of another director as a director, officer, or employee of the
Corporation, notwithstanding the fact that the first director is also receiving
compensation from the Corporation.

(b) Interested or common directors may be counted in determining the presence
of a quorum at a meeting of the Board that authorizes, approves, or ratifies a
contract or transaction under this Article IX.

Section 3. Transactions Involving Cross
Directorships
.
A contract or other transaction between the
Corporation and a corporation or association of which one or more directors of
the Corporation are directors is neither void nor voidable because the director
or directors are present at the meeting of the Board that authorizes, approves,
or ratifies the contract or transaction, if the material facts of the
transaction and the director’s other directorship are fully disclosed or known
to the Board and the Board authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or
transaction in good faith by a sufficient vote without counting the vote of the
common director or directors or the contract or transaction is approved by the
Shareholders in good faith. This Section 3 does not apply to contracts or
transactions covered by Section 1 of this Article IX.
