FIXING DATE FOR DETERMINATION OF SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD
A.  In order that the corporation may determine the shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or
any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record
date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of
directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60)
nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting.  If the
board of directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the
record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at
such meeting unless the board of directors determines, at the time
it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date
of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.  If
no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date
for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a
meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day
next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is
waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day
on which the meeting is held.  A determination of shareholders of
record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders
shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however,
that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the
adjourned meeting and in such case shall also fix as the record date
for shareholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the
same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of
shareholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this section at the adjourned meeting.
B.  In order that the corporation may determine the shareholders
entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting in
accordance with Section 1073 of this title, the board of directors
may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date
upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the
board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10)

days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date
is adopted by the board of directors.  If no record date has been
fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining
shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a
meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required
by the Oklahoma General Corporation Act, shall be the first date on
which a signed consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to
be taken is delivered to the corporation in accordance with
subsection D of Section 1073 of this title.  If no record date has
been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board
of directors is required by the Oklahoma General Corporation Act,
the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to
corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close
of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the
resolution taking such prior action.
C.  In order that the corporation may determine the shareholders
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or
allotment of any rights or the shareholders entitled to exercise any
rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or
for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors
may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date
upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and
which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to
such action.  If no record date is fixed, the record date for
determining shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the close
of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the
resolution relating thereto.
