INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS

1. The Articles of Incorporation cannot be filed until this form, or a comparable document, is submitted.

2. Submit one original of this document. Upon filing, the document will be added to the records of the Bureau of Commercial

Services. The original will be returned to your registered office address, unless you enter a different address in the box on the

front of this document.

Since this document will be maintained on electronic format, it is important that the filing be legible. Documents with poor

black and white contrast, or otherwise illegible, will be rejected.

3. This document is to be used pursuant to the provisions of Act 162, P.A. of 1982, by one or more persons for the purpose of

forming a domestic nonprofit corporation.

4. Article II - The purpose for which the corporation is organized must be included. It is not sufficient to state that the corporation

may engage in any activity within the purposes for which corporations may be organized under the Act.

5. Article III - The corporation must be organized on a stock or nonstock basis. Complete Article III(2) or III(3) as appropriate, but

not both. Real property assets are items such as land and buildings. Personal property assets are items such as cash,

equipment, fixtures, etc. The dollar value and description must be included. If there is no real and/or personal property, write in

"none".

6. A domestic nonprofit corporation may be formed on either a membership or directorship basis. A membership corporation

entitles the members to vote in determining corporate action. If organized on a directorship basis the corporation may have

members but they may not vote and corporate action is determined by the Board of Directors.

7. Article IV - A post office box may not be designated as the address of the registered office.

8. Article V - The Act requires one or more incorporators. Educational corporations are required to have at least three (3)

incorporators. The address(es) should include a street number and name (or other designation), city and state.

9. This document is effective on the date endorsed "filed" by the Bureau. A later effective date, no more than 90 days after the date

of delivery, may be stated as an additional article.

10. The Articles must be signed in ink by each incorporator listed in Article V. However, if there are 3 or more incorporators, they

may, by resolution adopted at the organizational meeting by a written instrument, designate one of them to sign the Articles of

Incorporation on behalf of all of them. In such event, these Articles of Incorporation must be accompanied by a copy of the

resolution duly certified by the acting secretary at the organizational meeting and a statement must be placed in the articles

incorporating that resolution into them.

11. FEES: Make remittance payable to the State of Michigan. Include corporation name on check or money order.
