AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWSOF
PROFIRE ENERGY, INC.
Adopted by the Board of Directors effective April 30, 2020.
Article 1. Stockholders’ Meetings
a.Place of Meetings
. Meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Nevada, as the board of directors shall determine. Rather than holding a meeting at any designated place, the board of directors may determine that a meeting shall be held solely by means of remote communications, which means shall meet the requirements of Title 7, Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended from time to time (the “Nevada Corporation Law”).
b.Annual Meeting
. The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of the directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on the date and at the time as the board of directors shall determine.
c.Special Meetings
. Special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called by the board of directors. No other person or persons may call a special meeting. The business to be transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.
d.Remote Communications
. The board of directors may permit the stockholders and their proxy holders to participate in meetings of the stockholders (whether such meetings are held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication) using one or more methods of remote communication that satisfy the requirements of the Nevada Corporation Law. The board of directors may adopt such guidelines and procedures applicable to participation in stockholders’ meetings by means of remote communication as it deems appropriate. Participation in a stockholders’ meeting by means of a method of remote communication permitted by the board of directors shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
e.Notice of Meetings
. Notice of the place, if any, date and hour of any stockholders’ meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote. The notice shall state the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed present in person and vote at the


meeting. If the voting list for the meeting is to be made available by means of an electronic network or if the meeting is to be held solely by remote communication, the notice shall include the information required to access the reasonably accessible electronic network on which the corporation will make its voting list available either prior to the meeting or, in the case of a meeting held solely by remote communication, during the meeting. Notice of a special meeting shall also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting has been called. Unless otherwise provided in the Nevada Corporation Law, notice shall be given at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given, notice may be given by a form of electronic transmission that satisfies the requirements of the Nevada Corporation Law. If mailed, notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder’s address as it appears in the corporation’s records. If given by a form of electronic transmission, notice shall be deemed given at the times specified with respect to the giving of notice by electronic transmission in the Nevada Corporation Law. An affidavit of the corporation’s secretary, an assistant secretary or an agent of the corporation that notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated in the affidavit.
f.Quorum
. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote at a meeting shall constitute a quorum. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series of stock is required at a meeting, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of each such class or series shall also be required to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, either the chairperson of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the meeting may adjourn the meeting in the manner provided in Section 1.7 until a quorum shall be present. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of the holders of enough voting power to leave less than a quorum. If a quorum is present at an original meeting, a quorum need not be present at an adjourned session of that meeting.
g.Adjournment of Meetings
. Either the chairperson of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the meeting may adjourn any meeting of stockholders from time to time. At any adjourned meeting the stockholders may transact any business that they might have transacted at the original meeting. Notice of an adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place, if any, or the means of remote communications to be used rather than holding the meeting at any place are announced at the meeting so adjourned, except that notice of the adjourned meeting shall be required if the adjournment is for more than 60 days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting.
h.Voting List
2

. The secretary of the corporation shall prepare a complete alphabetical list of the stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting showing each stockholder’s address and number of shares. This voting list need not include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information for any stockholder nor need it contain any information with respect to beneficial owners of the shares of stock owned although it may do so. The voting list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting either on a reasonably accessible electronic network (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or during ordinary business hours at the corporation’s principal place of business. If the list is made available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that it is available only to stockholders. If the stockholders’ meeting is held at a place, the voting list shall be produced and kept at that place for the entire duration of the meeting. If the stockholders’ meeting is held solely by means of remote communications, the voting list shall be made available for inspection on a reasonably accessible electronic network for the entire duration of the meeting. In either case, any stockholder may inspect the voting list at any time during the meeting.
i.Vote Required
. Subject to the provisions of the Nevada Corporation Law requiring a higher level of votes to take certain specified actions and to the terms of the corporation’s articles of incorporation that set special voting requirements, action by the stockholders is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action. Notwithstanding Section 78.330(1) of the Nevada Revised Statutes, at any meeting of stockholders during which directors are to be elected, each director nominee for election in an Uncontested Election (as hereinafter defined) shall be elected if the number of votes cast for the nominee’s election exceeds the number of votes cast against the nominee’s election. In all director elections other than Uncontested Elections, the nominees for election as a director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

For purposes of this Paragraph 1.9, an “Uncontested Election” means any meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected and the number of nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected and with respect to which (i) no stockholder has submitted notice to nominate a candidate for election at such meeting in accordance with Paragraph 1.16 of this Article, or (ii) such a notice has been submitted, and on or before the fifth business day prior to the date that the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement relating to such meeting with the securities and Exchange Commission (regardless of whether thereafter revised or supplemented), the notice has been (1) withdrawn in writing to Secretary of Corporation, (2) determined not to be valid notice of nominations, with such determination to be made by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof), or if challenged in court, by a final court order, or (3) determined by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) not to create a bona fide election contest.

j.Chairperson; Secretary
3

. The following people shall serve as chairperson and preside over any meeting of the stockholders: a person designated by the board of directors, or, in the absence of a person designated by the board of directors, the chairperson of the board of directors, if any, or, in the chairperson’s absence, the vice chairperson of the board of directors, if any, or in the vice chairperson’s absence, the chief executive officer if the chief executive officer is also a director, or, in the absence of all of the foregoing persons, a person chosen by the stockholders at the meeting. In the absence of the secretary and any assistant secretary, the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.
k.Rules of Conduct
. The board of directors or the chairperson may adopt such rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of any meeting of the stockholders as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, rules, regulations and procedures regarding participation in the meeting by means of remote communication. Except to the extent inconsistent with any applicable rules, regulations or procedures adopted by the board of directors, the chairperson of any meeting may adopt such rules, regulations and procedures for the meeting, and take such actions with respect to the conduct of the meeting, as the chairperson of the meeting deems appropriate. The rules, regulations and procedures adopted may include, without limitation, rules that (i) establish an agenda or order of business, (ii) are intended to maintain order and safety at the meeting, (iii) restrict entry to the meeting after the time fixed for its commencement and (iv) limit the time allotted to stockholder questions or comments. Unless otherwise determined by the board of directors or the chairperson of the meeting, meetings of the stockholders need not be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.
l.Inspectors of Elections
. The board of directors or the chairperson of a stockholders’ meeting may appoint one or more inspectors of election and any substitute inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Inspectors may be officers, employees or agents of the corporation. Each inspector, before entering on the discharge of the inspector’s duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of the inspector’s ability. At the request of the chairperson of the meeting, the inspector or inspectors shall prepare a written report of the results of the votes taken and of any other question or matter determined by the inspector or inspectors.
m.Record Date
. If the corporation proposes to take any action for which the Nevada Corporation Law would permit it to set a record date, the board of directors may set such a record date as provided under the Nevada Corporation Law.
n.No Action by Written Consent
. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken only upon the vote of stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly noticed and called
4

in accordance with the Nevada Corporation Law and these bylaws and may not be taken by written consent without a meeting.

(ii)as to such stockholder giving notice, the information required to be provided pursuant to Section 1.15.
If any of the foregoing information changes in any material respect from the date the notice is received through the date of the meeting, the stockholder shall promptly supplement such information to reflect such change by notice in writing and delivered to or mailed and received by the secretary of the corporation at the corporation's principal executive offices.
