Section 2.6. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date.

 

Section 2.6.1. Closure of Books in General. In order to determine the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any distribution, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, the Board may provide that the share transfer books shall be closed for a stated period not to exceed, in any case, 70 days.

 

Section 2.6.2. Closure of Books for Shareholder Meetings. If the share transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting.

In lieu of closing the share transfer books, the Board may fix in advance the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than 70 days, and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken.

 

Section 2.6.4. Fixing Record Date in Lieu of Closing Books. If the share transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a distribution, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board declaring such distribution is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders.

 

Section 2.6.5. Provisions Applicable to Adjournment. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in sections 2.6.1 through 2.6.4, such determination shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting unless it is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting, in which case the Board shall make a new determination as provided in this section.

The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make a complete record of the shareholders entitled to be given notice of the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each. The record shall be kept on file at the principal office of the Corporation, whether within or without the State of Colorado, and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder for any purpose germane to the meeting at any time during usual business hours. Such record shall be produced and kept open beginning at the earlier of ten days before the meeting for which the list was prepared or two business days after notice of the meeting is given, and continuing through the meeting and any adjournment thereof. Such record shall also be available at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting for the purposes thereof.

 

 3 

 

The original stock transfer books shall be the prima facie evidence as to the identity of the shareholders entitled to examine the record or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

 

Section 2.7.3. Shareholders Entitled to Inspection. The original stock transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to the shareholders entitled to examine the records or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

 

Section 2.8. Quorum.

 

Section 2.8.1. Majority Required. A majority of the vote is entitled to be cast on the matter by a voting group, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. If no specific voting group is designated in the articles of incorporation or under the CBCA for a particular matter, all outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a voting group. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal during such meeting of that number of shareholders whose absence would cause there to be less than a quorum.

 

Section 2.8.2. Adjournment. In the absence of a quorum at any meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time for a period not to exceed 120 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

Section 2.9. Action by Shareholders. If a quorum is present at a meeting of shareholders, an action of the shareholders is approved if a majority of the votes within each class present at the meeting approves the action and such action shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater proportion or number or voting by groups is required by the CBCA or the articles of incorporation.

 

Section 2.10. Proxies.

 

Section 2.10.1. Appointment. At any meeting of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy by signing an appointment form or similar writing, either personally or by his attorney-in- fact. A shareholder may also appoint a proxy by an electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization, or similar agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive the transmission; such transmission must set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the shareholder authorized the electronic transmission. If it is determined that an electronic transmission is valid, the person making that determination shall specify the information upon which the person relied.

 

Section 2.10.2. Submission and Effectiveness. The appointment form or similar writing shall be filed with the secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. The appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Corporation, including receipt by the Corporation of an appointment by electronic submission. An appointment is valid for the term specified in the appointment form and, if no term is specified, is valid for 11 months unless the appointment is irrevocable.

 

 4 

 

 

Section 2.10.3. Substitution of Original. A copy, facsimile, telecommunication, or other reliable reproduction of the document, including any electronic transmission, may be substituted or used in lieu of the original document for any and all purposes for which the original document could be used if the copy, facsimile, telecommunication, or other reproduction is a complete reproduction of the entire original document.

 

Section 2.10.4. Revocation.

 

(a) Revocation of a proxy does not affect the right of the Corporation to accept the proxy’s authority unless:

 

(i) the Corporation had notice that the appointment was coupled with an interest and notice that such interest is extinguished is received by the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises the proxy’s authority under the appointment; or

 

(ii) other notice of the revocation of the appointment is received by the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises the proxy’s authority under the appointment.

 

(b) The appearance at a shareholders’ meeting of the shareholder who granted a proxy and his voting in person on any matter subject to a vote at such meeting shall revoke a revocable proxy.

 

(c) The death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing a proxy does not affect the right of the Corporation to accept the proxy’s authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his authority under the appointment.

 

(d) The Corporation shall not be required to recognize an irrevocable appointment if it has received a writing revoking the appointment signed by the shareholder either personally or by his attorney-in-fact, notwithstanding that the revocation may be a breach of an obligation of the shareholder to another person not to revoke the appointment.

 

Section 2.11. Voting.

 

Section 2.11.1. Manner. At all meetings of shareholders, voting shall be taken by ballot, and the secretary or inspector of election shall record the name of the shareholder voting, the number of shares voted, and, if such vote shall be by proxy, the name of the proxy holder.

 

Section 2.11.2. Entitlement to Vote.

 

(a) Each share of the Corporation’s capital stock shall have the voting rights and each class or series thereof shall have the voting power provided in the articles of incorporation upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. Fractional shares shall be entitled to a corresponding fractional vote on each such matter. If two or more persons hold shares as co- tenants or fiduciaries and the vote for those shares is cast in a name that purports to be the name of at least one of them and the person voting in person or signing a proxy vote appears to be acting on behalf of all the cotenants or fiduciaries, the Corporation shall accept such vote. If more than one cotenant or fiduciary votes, the act of the majority shall bind all of the votes, and if the votes are evenly divided, each cotenant or fiduciary may vote the shares proportionately according to his beneficial interest.

 

 5 

 

 

(b) At each election of directors, the number of candidates equaling the number of directors to be elected having the highest number of votes cast in favor of their election, shall be elected as directors.

 

(c) Except as otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction upon a finding that the purpose of Section 7-107-202(b) of the CBCA would not be violated in the circumstances presented to the court, the shares of the Corporation are not entitled to be voted if they are owned, directly or indirectly, by a second corporation, domestic or foreign, and the first corporation owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the shares entitled to vote for directors of the second corporation; provided that the Corporation may vote shares in a fiduciary capacity, including its own shares.

 

(d) Redeemable shares are not entitled to vote after notice of their redemption has been given to their holders and a sum sufficient to redeem them has been deposited with a bank, trust company or other financial institution under an irrevocable obligation to pay the holders the redemption price upon surrender of the shares.

 

2.12. Advance Notice of Shareholder Business.

 

Only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (c) a proper matter for shareholder action under the CBCA that has been properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder (i) who is a shareholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.12 and on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.12. For such business to be considered properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder, he must, in addition to any other applicable requirements, have given timely notice in proper form of his intent to bring such business before such meeting. To be timely, such notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by the secretary of the Corporation at its principal office not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the meeting was made, whichever occurs first.

 

To be in proper form, a shareholder’s notice to the secretary shall be in writing and shall set forth:

 

(a) the name and record address of the shareholder who intends to propose the business and the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such shareholder;

 

(b) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to introduce the business specified in the notice;

 

(c) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting;

 

(d) any material interest of the shareholder in such business; and

 

 6 

 

 

(e) such other information as is required to be provided by the shareholder pursuant to Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to include information with respect to a shareholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a shareholder’s meeting, shareholders must provide notice as required by, and otherwise comply with the requirements of, the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

No business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of shareholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.12. The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the proposal of any business not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

 

Section 2.13. Conduct of Meetings.

 

Meetings of shareholders shall be presided over by the chairman of the Board or, in the absence thereof, by such person as the chairman of the Board shall appoint, or, in the absence thereof or in the event that the chairman shall fail to make such appointment, any officer of the corporation elected by the Board. In the absence of the secretary, the secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the chairman of the meeting appoints.

 

The Board shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of shareholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including without limitation establishing an agenda of business of the meeting, rules or regulations to maintain order, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for commencement thereof and the fixing of the date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the shareholders will vote at a meeting (and shall announce such at the meeting).

 

Section 2.14. Action by Shareholders Without a Meeting.

 

Any action required or permitted by the CBCA to be taken at a shareholders’ meeting if (i) all of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon consent to such action in writing; or (b) the shareholders holding 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 of the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted consent to such action in writing. Such written consent of the shareholders entitled to vote has the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of such shareholders. Action taken pursuant to this Section 2.14 is effective as of the date the Corporation receives the last document necessary to effect the action unless all of the documents necessary to effect the action state another date as the effective date of the action, in which case the stated date is the effective date of the action. A consent given by electronic transmission is delivered to the corporation upon the earliest of: (i) When the consent enters an information processing system, if any, designated by the Corporation for receiving consents if the electronic transmission is in a form capable of being processed by that system and the corporation is able to retrieve that electronic transmission. Whether the corporation has designated an information processing system to receive consents is determined by the articles of incorporation, by the bylaws, or from the context and surrounding circumstances, including the conduct of the corporation, (ii) when a paper reproduction of the consent is delivered to the Corporation’s principal office of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders or members are recorded, (iii) when a paper reproduction of the consent is delivered to the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Colorado by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; or (iv) When delivered in such other manner, if any, provided by resolution of the Board. A consent given by electronic transmission is delivered under this section even if no person is aware of its receipt. Receipt of an electronic acknowledgment from an information processing system establishes that a consent given by electronic transmission was received but does not, by itself, establish that the content sent corresponds to the content received. Any shareholder who has signed a document describing and consenting to action taken pursuant to this Section 2.14 may revoke the consent by a document signed and dated by the shareholder describing the action and stating that his prior consent thereto is revoked, if the document is received by the Corporation prior to the effectiveness of the action. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting is the date the Corporation first receives a writing upon which the action is taken.

Section 2.15. Acceptance of Votes. If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment, or proxy appointment revocation corresponds to the name of a shareholder, the Corporation, if acting in good faith, is entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation and give it effect as the act of the shareholder. If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation does not correspond to the name of a shareholder, the Corporation, if acting in good faith, is nevertheless entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation and to give it effect as the act of the shareholder if:

 

(a) the shareholder is an entity and the name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity;

 

(b) the name signed purports to be that of an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator representing the shareholder and, if the Corporation requests, evidence of fiduciary status acceptable to the Corporation has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation;

 

(c) the name signed purports to be that of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the shareholder and, if the Corporation requests, evidence of this status acceptable to the Corporation has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation;

 

(d) the name signed purports to be that of a pledgee, beneficial owner or attorney-in-fact of the shareholder and, if the Corporation requests, evidence acceptable to the Corporation of the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation;

 

(e) two or more persons are the shareholder as co-tenants or fiduciaries and the name signed purports to be the name of at least one of the co-tenants or fiduciaries, and the person signing appears to be acting on behalf of all the co-tenants or fiduciaries; or

 

(f) the acceptance of the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation is otherwise proper under rules established by the Corporation that are not inconsistent with this Section 2.15.

 

 8 

 

 

The Corporation is entitled to reject a vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation if the secretary, inspector of election, or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt about the validity of the signature on it or about the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder.

 

Neither the Corporation, an inspector, nor its officers nor any agent who accepts or rejects a vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation in good faith and in accordance with the standards of this Section 2.15 shall be liable in damages for the consequences of the acceptance or rejection.

 

Section 2.16. Remote Participation in Shareholders’ Meetings; Meetings Held Solely by Remote Participation.

 

Section 2.16.1. Remote Participation. Shareholders of any class or series of shares may participate in any meeting of shareholders by means of remote communication to the extent the Board authorizes participation for that class or series. Participation as a shareholder by means of remote communication shall be subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board adopts and shall be in conformity with Section 2.17.2.

 

Section 2.16.2. Presence at Remote Meeting. Shareholders participating in a shareholders’ meeting by means of remote communication shall be deemed present and may vote at such a meeting if the corporation has implemented reasonable measures to (i) verify that each person participating remotely as a shareholder is a shareholder and (ii) provide the shareholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the shareholders, including an opportunity to communicate and to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting, substantially concurrently with the proceedings.

 

Section 2.16.3. Meetings Held Solely by Remote Participation. The Board may determine that a meeting of shareholders will not be held at any place and instead will be held solely by means of remote communication, and if it does so, the Corporation shall implement the measures specified in Section 2.17.2.

A director of the Corporation shall perform that director’s duties as a director, including that director’s duties as a member of any committee of the Board upon which the director may serve, in good faith, in a manner in which that director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Corporation, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Subject to the provisions of the CBCA, a director who so performs his duties shall not have any liability to the shareholders or otherwise by reason of being or having been a director.

 

Section 3.2.2. Reliance Upon Other Persons and Written Materials. In the performance of his duties, a director or officer shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by persons and groups listed in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section, but the director shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if that director has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted. The persons and groups on whose information, opinions, reports, and statements a director is entitled to rely are:

 

 9 

 

 

(a) one or more officers or employees of the Corporation whom the director or officer reasonably believes to be reliable and competent with respect to the information, opinions, reports or statements;

(c) In the case of a director, a committee of the Board of which the director is not a member if the director reasonably believes the committee merits confidence; and

 

(d) In the case of an officer, the Board or any committee of the Board.
