Articles of Incorporation of Amerigon Incorporated

EXHIBIT 3.1

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

AMERIGON INCORPORATED

a Michigan corporation

Pursuant to the provisions of Act 284, Public Acts of 1972, the undersigned corporation (the “Corporation”) executes the following Articles:

ARTICLE 1

The name of the Corporation is AMERIGON INCORPORATED.

ARTICLE II

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the Michigan Business Corporation Act.

ARTICLE III

A. The total number of shares which the corporation is authorized to issue is 35,000,000, of which 30,000,000 shall be Common Stock, without par value, and 5,000,000 shall be Preferred Stock, without par value.

B. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock and to determine the designation of any such series. The Board of Directors is also authorized to determine or alter the voting and other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and, within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series.

C. From the Corporation’s authorized shares of Preferred Stock, 9,000 shares are hereby designated as “Series A Preferred Stock”, with the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth below:

1. DIVIDEND PROVISIONS. Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available therefore, in an amount equal to the dividends that would be paid on the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation into which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible on an as converted basis, payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors.

2. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.

(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive,

prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of this Corporation to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) $1,000 for each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Original Series A Issue Price”), (i) an amount equal to 7% of the Original Series A Issue Price annually, but only until the fourth anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, and (iii) an amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends on such share (the amounts in (ii) and (iii) being referred to herein as the “Premium”). If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then, subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the amount of such stock owned by each such holder.

(b) Upon the completion of the distribution required by subparagraph (a) of this Section 2 and any other distribution that may be required with respect to series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, if assets remain in this Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock of this Corporation shall receive all of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

3. REDEMPTION.

(a) Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, this Corporation may at any time it may lawfully do so, at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem in whole or in part the Series A Preferred Stock (such date of redemption is referred to herein as the “Series A Redemption Date”) by paying in cash therefor a sum equal to the Original Series A Issue Price plus the Premium, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares (the “Series A Redemption Price”); provided, however, that this Corporation may only redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock hereunder if the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq (or such other exchange or market on which the shares are then traded) for the sixty trading days preceding the date the notice of redemption is given in accordance with subsection (b) is at least 4 times greater than the then applicable Conversion Price (as defined in Section 4(a) below). Any redemption effected pursuant to this subsection (3)(a) shall be made on a pro rata basis among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them.

(b) As used herein and in subsection (3)(c) and (d) below, the term “Redemption Date” shall refer to each “Series A Redemption Date” and the term “Redemption Price” shall refer to each “Series A Redemption Price.” Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, at least fifteen (15) but no more than thirty (30) days prior to each Redemption Date, written notice shall be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given) of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at the address last shown on the records of this Corporation for such holder, notifying such holder of the redemption to be effected, specifying the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the place at which payment may be obtained and calling upon such holder to surrender to this Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed (the “Redemption Notice”). Except as provided in subsection (3)(c) on or after the Redemption Date, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender to this Corporation the certificate or certificates representing such shares, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled. In the event less than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.

(c) From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Redemption Price, all rights of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock designated for redemption in the Redemption Notice as holders of Series A Preferred Stock (except the right to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease with respect to such shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of this Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, if the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares ratably among the holders of such shares to be redeemed based upon their holdings of Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein. Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, at any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares which the Corporation has become obliged to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed.

(d) On or prior to each Redemption Date, this Corporation shall deposit the Redemption Price of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock designated for redemption in the Redemption Notice, and not yet redeemed or converted, with a bank or trust corporation having aggregate capital and surplus in excess of $100,000,000 as a trust fund for the benefit of the respective holders of the shares designated for redemption and not yet redeemed, with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust corporation to publish the notice of redemption thereof and pay the Redemption Price for such shares to their respective holders on or after the Redemption Date, upon receipt of notification from the Corporation that such holder has surrendered his, her or its share certificate to the Corporation pursuant to subsection (3)(b) above. As of the date of such deposit (even if prior to the Redemption Date), the deposit shall constitute full payment of the shares to their holders, and from and after the date of the deposit the shares so called for redemption shall be redeemed and shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares and shall have no rights with respect thereto except the rights to receive from the bank or trust corporation payment of the Redemption Price of the shares, without interest, upon surrender of their certificates therefor, and the right to convert such shares as provided in Section 4 hereof. Such instructions shall also provide that any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to this subsection (3)(d) for the redemption of shares thereafter converted into shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 hereof prior to the Redemption Date shall be returned to the Corporation forthwith upon such conversion. The balance of any moneys deposited by this Corporation pursuant to this subsection (3)(d) remaining unclaimed at the expiration of two (2) years following the Redemption Date shall thereafter be returned to this Corporation upon its request expressed in a resolution of its Board of Directors.

4. CONVERSION. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

(a) RIGHT TO CONVERT. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share and on or prior to the fifth day prior to the Redemption Date, if any, as may have been fixed in any Redemption Notice with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, at the office of this Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is

determined by dividing the Original Series A Issue Price by the conversion price (“Conversion Price”) applicable to such share, determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The initial Conversion Price per share for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be $1.675; provided, however, that the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection 4(d).

(b) AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such Series A Preferred Stock immediately upon the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(c) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. Before any holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to this Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. This Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Series A Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series A Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

(d) CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS OF PREFERRED STOCK FOR CERTAIN DILUTIVE ISSUANCES, SPLITS AND COMBINATIONS. The Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(i) In the event the Corporation should at any time or from time to time after the date upon which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock were first issued (the “Purchase Date” with respect to such series) fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock, then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock outstanding. In the event the Corporation shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have made a dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.

(ii) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Purchase Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then,

following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

(iii) All adjustments to the Conversion Price will be calculated to the nearest cent of a dollar. No adjustment in the Conversion Price will be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one cent per dollar; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 4(d)(iii) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be made successively.

(e) OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event this Corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in subsection 4(d), then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection 4(e), the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

(f) RECAPITALIZATIONS AND REORGANIZATIONS. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for a different class or classes of capital stock, or other securities or property whether by reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 4 or Section 2) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization or reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock after the recapitalization or reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

(g) NO IMPAIRMENT. This Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by this Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock against impairment.

(h) NO FRACTIONAL SHARES AND CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS.

(i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

(ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4, this Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. This Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock.

(i) NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of any taking by this Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right (except the right to vote), this Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock, at least 20 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

(j) RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. This Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Series A Preferred Stock, this Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to these articles.

(k) NOTICES. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 to be given to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of this Corporation.

5. VOTING RIGHTS. The holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of this Corporation, and, except with respect to the election of directors as provided in Section 6 hereof, shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).

6. BOARD OF DIRECTORS. So long as at least 40% of the authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a class, shall be entitled to elect five directors and the holders of Common Stock, voting as a class, shall be entitled to elect two directors. So long as at least 40% of the authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, this Corporation shall not without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, change the authorized number of directors of the Corporation.

7. STATUS OF CONVERTED OR REDEEMED STOCK. In the event any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed or converted pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 hereof, the shares so converted or redeemed shall be cancelled and shall not be issuable by the Corporation. The Articles of Incorporation of this Corporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the corresponding reduction in the Corporation’s authorized capital stock.

8. REPURCHASE OF SHARES. The repurchase by this Corporation of its Common Stock shall not be subject to the requirement of Section 345(3) of the Michigan Business Corporation Act that requires a corporation’s total assets to be greater than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of distribution to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those whose shares of Common Stock are repurchased by this Corporation.

The written consents shall bear the date of signature of each shareholder who signs the consent. No written consents shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to unless, within 60 days after the record date for determining shareholders entitled to express consent or to dissent from a proposal without a meeting, written consents dated not more than 10 days before the record date and signed by a sufficient number of shareholders to take the action are delivered to the Corporation. Delivery shall be to the Corporation’s registered office, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the minutes of the proceedings of its shareholders.

ARTICLE VII

To the full extent permitted by the Michigan Business Corporation Act or any other applicable laws presently or hereafter in effect, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for or with respect to any acts or omissions in the performance of his or her duties as a director of the Corporation. Any repeal or modification of this Article VII shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing immediately prior to, or for or with respect to, any acts or omissions occurring before such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VIII

At a meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected, no shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for any one or more candidates a number of votes greater than the number of such shareholder’s shares) unless the candidates’ names have been placed in nomination prior to commencement of the voting and a shareholder has given notice prior to commencement of the voting of such shareholder’s intention to cumulate votes. If any shareholder has given such a notice, every shareholder entitled to vote may cumulate votes for candidates in the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which such shareholder’s shares are entitled or distribute such shareholder’s votes on the same principle among any or all of the candidates as the shareholder thinks fit. In the election of directors, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be elected.

I, the incorporator, sign my name this 23rd day of March, 2005.

If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the Board of Directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or other facsimile transmission to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, any Vice-President or the Secretary of the Corporation.

If such notice is not given within 20 days after the receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the notice. Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of shareholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

Section 4. Notice of Meetings of Shareholders.

All notices of meetings of shareholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 5 of this Article II not less than 10 days or more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. Such notice shall specify the place, date, and hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted, or (ii) in the case of the annual meeting, those matters that the Board of Directors, at the time of giving the notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders. The notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the name of any nominee or nominees whom, at the time of the notice, management intends to present for election.

If action is proposed to be taken at any meeting for approval of (i) a contract or transaction in which a director has a direct or indirect financial interest, pursuant to Section 545a of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, (ii) an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, pursuant to Section 611 of such Act, (iii) a reorganization of the Corporation, pursuant to Section 703a of such Act, or (iv) a voluntary dissolution of the Corporation, pursuant to Section 804 of such Act, the notice shall also state the general nature of such proposal.

Section 5. Manner of Giving Notice; Affidavit of Notice.

Notice of any meeting of shareholders shall be given either personally or by first-class mail or telegraphic or other written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to each shareholder at the address of such shareholder appearing on the books of the Corporation or given by the shareholder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice. If the Corporation’s outstanding shares are held by 500 or more persons on the record date for the shareholders’ meeting, notice may be sent by third-class mail. If no such address appears on the books of the Corporation or is given, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent to a shareholder by

first-class mail or telegraphic or other written communication to the Corporation’s principal executive office, or if published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where such office is located. Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by telegram or other means of written communication.

If any notice addressed to a shareholder at the address of such shareholder appearing on the books of the Corporation is returned to the Corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver such notice to such shareholder at such address, each future notice and report shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if it shall be available to the shareholder on written demand by the shareholder at _.the principal executive office of the Corporation for a period of one year from the date of the giving of such notice or report.

An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any meeting of shareholders shall be executed by the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or any transfer agent of the Corporation giving the notice and shall be filed and maintained in the minutes book of the Corporation.

Section 6. Quorum.

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting. The shareholders in attendance at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.

Section 7. Adjourned Meeting; Notice.

Any meeting of shareholders, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at such meeting, either in person or by proxy; but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at such meeting, except as provided in Section 6 of this Article II.

When any meeting of shareholders, annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place are announced at a meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed or unless the adjournment is for more than 45 days from the date set for the original meeting, in which case the Board of Directors shall set a new record date. Notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Article II. At any adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 8. Voting.

The shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of this Article II, subject to the provisions of Sections 445 and 446 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act (relating to voting shares held by a fiduciary or in joint ownership). The shareholders’ vote may be by voice vote or by ballot; provided, however, that any election of directors must be by ballot if demanded by any shareholder before the voting has begun. On any matter other than the election of directors, any shareholder may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal; but if a shareholder fails to specify the number of shares such shareholder is voting affirmatively, it shall be presumed conclusively that such shareholder’s approving vote is with respect to all shares that such shareholder is entitled to vote. Except as provided in Section 6 of this Article II and in the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum) shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by the Michigan Business Corporation Law or the Articles of Incorporation.

Section 9. Waiver of Notice or Consent By Absent Shareholders.

The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, annual or special, however called and noticed and wherever held, shall be as valid as though they had occurred at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after such meeting, each person entitled to vote who was not present in person or by proxy signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to a holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. Such waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any annual or special meeting of shareholders, except that if action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters specified in the second paragraph of Section 4 of this Article II, the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of the proposal. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

Attendance by a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except that when the person objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business thereat because such meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not included in the notice of such meeting if an objection is expressly made at such meeting.

Section 10. Shareholder Action by Written Consent. Without a Meeting.

Any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may, to the extent permitted by the Articles of Incorporation and applicable law, be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on such action were present and voted. In the case of the election of directors, such a consent shall be effective only if signed by the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote for the election of directors; provided, however, that by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote for the election of directors, a director may be elected at any time to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors that has not been filled by the directors. All such consents shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records. Any shareholder giving a written consent or the shareholders proxy holders or a transferee of the shares or a personal representative of the shareholder or their respective proxy holders may revoke the consent by a writing received by the Secretary of the Corporation before written consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the Secretary.

If the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have not been solicited in writing, and if the unanimous written consent of all shareholders has not been received, the Secretary shall give prompt notice of the corporate action approved by the shareholders without a meeting. Such notice shall be given in the manner specified in Section 5 of this Article II. In the case of approval of (i) contracts or transactions in which a director has a direct or indirect financial interest, pursuant to Section 545a of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, (ii) indemnification of agents of the corporation, pursuant to Section 561 of such Act, and (iii) a reorganization of the Corporation, pursuant to Section 703a of such Act, such notice shall be given at least ten days before the consummation of any action authorized by such approval.

Section 11. Record Date for Shareholder Notice; Voting and Giving Consents.

For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of any meeting or to give consent to corporate action without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a record date, which shall not be mote than 60 days or less than 10 days before the date of any such meeting nor more than 60 days before any such action without a meeting. In this event, only shareholders of record on the date so fixed are entitled to receive notice and to vote or to give consents, 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 in the Michigan Business Corporation Act.

If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date:

(a) The record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the date on which the meeting is held; or

(b) The record date for determining shareholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, (i) when no prior action by the Board of Directors has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given, or (ii) when prior action of the Board has been taken, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating to that action.

Section 12. Proxies.

Every person entitled to vote for directors or on any other matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the shareholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney-in-fact. A validly executed proxy that does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the person executing it, before the vote pursuant to such proxy, by a writing delivered to the Corporation stating that such proxy is revoked, or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the person executing such proxy; or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of such proxy is received by the Corporation before the vote pursuant to such proxy is counted; provided, however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months from the date of the proxy unless otherwise provided in the proxy. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 422 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act.

Section 13. Inspectors of Election.

Before any meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may appoint any persons other than nominees for office to act as inspectors of election at the meeting or its adjournment. If no inspectors of election are so appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election at the meeting. The number of such inspectors shall be either one or three. If such inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more shareholders or proxies, the holders of a majority of shares or their proxies present at the meeting shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed. If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the chairman of the meeting may, and upon the request of any shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy shall, appoint a person to fill that vacancy.

Such inspectors shall:

(a) Determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies;

(b) Receive votes, ballots or consents;

(d) Count and tabulate all votes or consents;

(e) Determine when the polls shall close;

(f) Determine the result; and

(g) Do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.

Subject to any further restrictions in the Articles of Incorporation, a bylaw change specifying or changing a fixed number of directors or the maximum or minimum number of directors or changing from a fixed to a variable board or vice versa may only be adopted by approval of the outstanding shares; provided, however, that a bylaw or amendment of the articles reducing the fixed number or the minimum number of directors to a number less than five cannot be adopted if the votes cast against its adoption at a meeting, or the shares not consenting in the case of action by written consent, are equal to more than 16²/3 percent of the

outstanding shares entitled to vote. No amendment may change the stated maximum number of authorized directors to a number greater than two times the stated minimum number of directors minus one.

Section 3. Election and Term of Office of Directors.

Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of shareholders to hold office until the next annual meeting. Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall .hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until a successor has been elected and qualified.

Each director so elected shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until a successor has been elected and qualified.

A vacancy or vacancies on the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist in the event of the death, resignation or removal of any director, or if the Board of Directors by resolution declares vacant the office of a director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court or who has been convicted of a felony, or if the authorized number of directors is increased, or if the shareholders fail, at any meeting of shareholders at which any director or directors are elected, to elect the number of directors to be elected at such meeting.

The shareholders may elect a director or directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the directors, but any such election by written consent shall require the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

Any director may resign effective on giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, the Secretary or the Board of Directors, unless the notice specifies a later time for that resignation to become effective. If the resignation of a director is effective at a later time, the Board of Directors may elect a successor to take office when the resignation becomes effective.

No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before the expiration of such director’s term of office.

Section 5. Place of Meetings and Meetings by Telephone.

In case such notice is mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four days before the time of the holding of such meeting. In case such notice is delivered personally, or by telephone or telegram, it shall be delivered personally or by telephone or to the telegraph company at least 48 hours before the time of the holding of such meeting. Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be communicated either to the director or to a person at the office of the director whom the person giving such notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to such director. The notice need not specify the purpose of the meeting or the place if the meeting is to be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation.

Section 8. Quorum; Voting.

A majority of the authorized number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except to adjourn as provided in Section 10 of this Article III.

A meeting at which a quorum initially is present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, provided any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for such meeting.

Section 9. Waiver of Notice.

The transactions of any meeting of the Board of Directors, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though they had occurred at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is present and if, either before or after such meeting, each of the directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to hold such meeting or an approval of the minutes. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify the purpose of such meeting. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of such meeting. Notice of a meeting shall also be deemed given to any director who attends the meeting without protesting, before or at its commencement, the lack of notice to such director.

Section 10. Adjournment.

A majority of the directors present, whether or not constituting a quorum, may adjourn any meeting to another time and place.

Section 11. Notice of Adjournment.

Section 12. Action Without Meeting.

Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board shall individually or collectively consent in writing to such action. Such action by written consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Board of Directors. Such written consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors.

Section 13. Fees and Compensation of Directors.
