General Description of Corporate Actions:

 

ITEM 1:

 

TO SPIN OFF THE COMPANY’S MAJORITY OWNED SUBSIDIARY, CARBON CONVERSION GROUP, INC. (f/k/a CARBONMETA GREEN BUILDING MATERIALS, LLC), IN A STOCK DIVIDEND TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

On June 12, 2023, the Board unanimously approved the spin-off (“Spin-Off”) of the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, Carbon Conversion Group, Inc. (f/k/a CarbonMeta Green Building Materials, LLC), in a stock dividend to shareholders. On June 26, 2023, the Majority Consenting Stockholders delivered executed written consents in lieu of a special meeting (the “Stockholder Consent”) authorizing and approving the proposed Action.

 

The Board will effect the Spin-Off, by filing an Issuer Company-Related Action Notification Form (“Notification Form”) with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), which will occur no sooner than 20 calendar days after the date this Information Statement has been provided to Stockholders. After such 20-day period, the Board has the authority to file the Notification Form to effect the Spin-Off at any time prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the Stockholder Consent. Carbon Conversion Group, Inc.’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws are attached to this Information Statement. No further action on the part of our stockholders is required to authorize or effect the Spin-Off.

 

The ability to proceed without a special meeting of the Stockholders to approve, adopt and/or ratify the Corporate Actions is authorized by Sections 211 and 228 of the DGCL which provides that, unless otherwise provided in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of our Stockholders may be taken without a meeting if a written consent that sets forth the action so taken is signed by Stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the Company, except that if a different proportion of voting power is required for such an action at a meeting, then that proportion of written consents is required. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a majority vote of the Stockholders and may be stated as such in any document. Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws do not contain any provisions contrary to the provisions of Sections 211 and 228 of the DGCL. Thus, to eliminate the costs to us and management time involved in holding a special meeting, and in order to take the Corporate Actions as described in this Information Statement, several of our Stockholders representing in excess of 50% of the voting stock executed and delivered a written consent to us.

 

Our Board unanimously approved the Spin-Off, subject to stockholder approval, and on June 26, 2023, the holders of approximately 84.68% of the voting shares of our Common and Preferred Stock executed and delivered to us the Stockholder Consents approving the Spin-Off.

 

Accordingly, we have obtained all corporate approval required for the Spin-Off. We do not require, and we are not seeking any further consent from Stockholders for the Spin-Off. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purposes of advising Stockholders of the approval of the Spin-Off and giving Stockholders notice of the filing of the Notification Form, as required by the DGCL and the Exchange Act.

Unless otherwise specified in the table below, such information, other than information with respect to our directors and executive officers, is based on a review of statements filed with the Securities and Exchange commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Sections 13 (d), 13 (f), and 13 (g) of the Exchange Act with respect to our common stock.

A. Designation. The designation of said series of preferred stock shall be “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,” $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).

 

B. Number of Shares. The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock authorized shall be one million (1,000,000) shares.

C. Dividends. Initially, there will be no dividends due or payable on the Series A Preferred Stock. Any future terms with respect to dividends shall be determined by the Board consistent with the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation. Any and all such future terms concerning dividends shall be reflected in an amendment to this Certificate, which the Board shall promptly file or cause to be filed.

 

 
 

 

D. Liquidation Preference. If the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under the U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation shall be entered by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days and, on account of any such event, the Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or if the Corporation shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up, including, but not limited to, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets in one transaction or in a series of related transactions (a “Liquidation Event”), no distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation (other than Senior Securities and Pari Passu Securities) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless prior thereto the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received the Liquidation Preference (as defined below) with respect to each share. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds available for distribution among the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Holders of Pari Passu Securities shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Pari Passu Securities shall be distributed ratably among such shares in proportion to the ratio that the Liquidation Preference payable on each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference payable on all such shares. The purchase or redemption by the Corporation of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other entity nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of substantially all of its assets shall, for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. The “Liquidation Preference” with respect to a share of Series A Preferred Stock means an amount equal to the Stated Value thereof. The Liquidation Preference with respect to any Pari Passu Securities shall be as set forth in the Certificate of Designation filed in respect thereof.

 

E. Conversion.

 

(1) Each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock (“Common Stock”) determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price as defined below, at the option of the Holder in whole or in part, at any time commencing no earlier than six (6) months after the Issuance Date; provided that any conversion under this section must be made during the ten (10) day period immediately following the date on which the Corporation files with the Securities and Exchange Commission any periodic report on form 10-Q, 10-K or the equivalent form; provided further that, any conversion under this section shall be for a minimum Stated Value of $500.00 of Series A Preferred Stock. The Holder shall effect conversions by sending a conversion notice (the “Notice of Conversion”) in the manner set forth herein. Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the Stated Value of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted. The date on which such conversion is to be effected (the “Conversion Date”) shall be on the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered pursuant to this section. Except as provided herein, each Notice of Conversion, once given, shall be irrevocable. Upon the entire conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the certificates for such Series A Preferred Stock shall be returned to the Corporation for cancellation.

 

(2) Not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the Corporation will deliver to the Holder (a) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and (b) once received from the Corporation, the Series A Preferred Stock in principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Series A Preferred Stock not converted; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock until the Series A Preferred Stock are either delivered for conversion to the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Corporation that such Series A Preferred Stock certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. In the case of a conversion pursuant to a Notice of Conversion, if such certificate or certificates are not delivered by the date required under this section, the Holder shall be entitled, by providing written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Corporation shall immediately return the Series A Preferred Stock tendered for conversion.

 

(3) The Conversion Price for each share of Series A Preferred Stock in effect on any Conversion Date shall be (a) eighty five percent (85%) of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, (b) but no less than Par Value of the Common Stock. For purposes of determining the closing bid price on any day, reference shall be to the closing bid price for a share of Common Stock on such date on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, as reported on Bloomberg, L.P. (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices).

 

 
 

 

(4) (a) If the Corporation, at any time while any Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, (i) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Junior Securities (as defined below) payable in shares of its capital stock (whether payable in shares of its Common Stock or of capital stock of any class), (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, the Conversion Price designated herein shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

 

(b) If the Corporation, at any time while Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price at which each Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Per Share Market Value of the Common Stock on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however that in the event of a distribution exceeding ten percent (10%) of the net assets of the Corporation, such fair market value shall be determined by a nationally recognized or major regional investment banking firm or firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized standing (which may be the firm that regularly examines the financial statements of the Corporation) (an “Appraiser”) selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding; and provided, further, that the Corporation, after receipt of the determination by such Appraiser shall have the right to select an additional Appraiser, in which case the fair market value shall be equal to the average of the determinations by each such Appraiser. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder and all other Holders of Series A Preferred Stock of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

(c) All calculations under this Article IV shall be made to the nearest 1/1,000th of a cent or the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, as the case may be. Any calculation resulting in a fraction shall be rounded up to the next cent or share.

 

(d) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this section, the Corporation shall within ten (10) days after the determination of the new Fixed Conversion Price mail and fax to the Holder and to each other Holder of Series A Preferred Stock, a notice setting forth the Fixed Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(e) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another person, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, then each holder of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such Series A Preferred Stock only into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange (except in the event the property is cash, then the Holder shall have the right to convert the Series A Preferred Stock and receive cash in the same manner as other stockholders), and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the shares of the Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange would have been entitled. The terms of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the holder the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this section upon any conversion following such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

(f) If:

 

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; or

 

(ii) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or

 

(iii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; or

 

 
 

 

(iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or

 

(v) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;

 

then the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed and faxed to the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock at their last addresses as it shall appear upon the Series A Preferred stock register, at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up; provided, however, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

 

(5) Intentionally omitted.

 

(6) The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable hereunder shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

(7) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon a conversion hereunder and the number of shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any conversion hereunder, the Corporation shall eliminate such fractional share interest by issuing the Holder an additional full share of Common Stock.

 

(8) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

 

(9) Series A Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock shall be canceled upon conversion.

 

(10) Each Notice of Conversion shall be given by facsimile to the Corporation no later than 4:00 pm EST. Any such notice shall be deemed given and effective upon the transmission of such facsimile at the current facsimile telephone number of the Company. In the event that the Corporation receives the Notice of Conversion after 4:00 p.m. EST, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be the next Business Day. In the event that the Corporation receives the Notice of Conversion after the end of the Business Day, notice will be deemed to have been given the next Business Day.

 

F. Rank. The Series A Preferred Stock shall, as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank (i) prior to the Corporation’s Common Stock (ii) prior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created that, by its terms, ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (“Junior Securities”); (iii) junior to the Series B Preferred Stock and any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created which by its terms ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (“Senior Securities”); (iv) pari passu with any other series of preferred stock of the Corporation hereafter created which by its terms ranks on a parity (“Pari Passu Securities”) with the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

G. Voting Rights. Each one share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to five million (1,000) votes of Common Stock. With respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or to which stockholders are entitled to give consent, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock without regard to class, except as to those matters on which separate class voting is required by applicable law or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws.

 

 
 

 

H. Protection Provisions. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the unanimous written consent of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred so as to affect adversely the holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

I. Miscellaneous.

 

(1) Status of Converted or Redeemed Stock. In case any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed or otherwise repurchased or reacquired, the shares so redeemed, repurchased, or reacquired shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, and shall no longer be designated as Series A Preferred Stock.

D. Liquidation Preference. If the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under the U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation shall be entered by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days and, on account of any such event, the Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or if the Corporation shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up, including, but not limited to, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets in one transaction or in a series of related transactions (a “Liquidation Event”), no distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation (other than Senior Securities and Pari Passu Securities) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless prior thereto the Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have received the Liquidation Preference (as defined below) with respect to each share. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds available for distribution among the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and Holders of Pari Passu Securities shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the Series B Preferred Stock and the Pari Passu Securities shall be distributed ratably among such shares in proportion to the ratio that the Liquidation Preference payable on each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference payable on all such shares. The purchase or redemption by the Corporation of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

The Holder shall effect conversions by sending a conversion notice (the “Notice of Conversion”) in the manner set forth herein. Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the Stated Value of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted. The date on which such conversion is to be effected (the “Conversion Date”) shall be on the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered pursuant to this section. Except as provided herein, each Notice of Conversion, once given, shall be irrevocable. Upon the entire conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the certificates for such Series B Preferred Stock shall be returned to the Corporation for cancellation.

 

(2) Not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the Corporation will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) once received from the Corporation, the Series B Preferred Stock in principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Series B Preferred Stock not converted; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock until the Series B Preferred Stock are either delivered for conversion to the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Corporation that such Series B Preferred Stock certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. In the case of a conversion pursuant to a Notice of Conversion, if such certificate or certificates are not delivered by the date required under this section, the Holder shall be entitled, by providing written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Corporation shall immediately return the Series B Preferred Stock tendered for conversion.

 

(3) The Conversion Price for each share of Series B Preferred Stock in effect on any Conversion Date shall be (a) eighty five percent (85%) of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, (b) but no less than Par Value of the Common Stock. For purposes of determining the closing bid price on any day, reference shall be to the closing bid price for a share of Common Stock on such date on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, as reported on Bloomberg, L.P. (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices).

 

(4) (a) If the Corporation, at any time while any Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, (i) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Junior Securities (as defined below) payable in shares of its capital stock (whether payable in shares of its Common Stock or of capital stock of any class), (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, the Conversion Price designated in this section shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

 

 
 

 

(b) If the Corporation, at any time while Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of Series B Preferred Stock) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price at which each Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Per Share Market Value of the Common Stock on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however that in the event of a distribution exceeding ten percent (10%) of the net assets of the Corporation, such fair market value shall be determined by a nationally recognized or major regional investment banking firm or firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized standing (which may be the firm that regularly examines the financial statements of the Corporation) (an “Appraiser”) selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding; and provided, further, that the Corporation, after receipt of the determination by such Appraiser shall have the right to select an additional Appraiser, in which case the fair market value shall be equal to the average of the determinations by each such Appraiser. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder and all other Holders of Series B Preferred Stock of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

(c) All calculations under this Article IV shall be made to the nearest 1/1,000th of a cent or the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, as the case may be. Any calculation resulting in a fraction shall be rounded up to the next cent or share.

 

(d) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this section, the Corporation shall within ten (10) days after the determination of the new Fixed Conversion Price mail and fax to the Holder and to each other Holder of Series B Preferred Stock, a notice setting forth the Fixed Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(e) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another person, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, then each holder of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such Series B Preferred Stock only into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange (except in the event the property is cash, then the Holder shall have the right to convert the Series B Preferred Stock and receive cash in the same manner as other stockholders), and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the shares of the Common Stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange would have been entitled. The terms of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the holder the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section IV(d)(v) upon any conversion following such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

(f) If:

 

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; or

 

(ii) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or

 

(iii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; or

 

(iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or

 

 
 

 

(v) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;

 

then the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed and faxed to the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock at their last addresses as it shall appear upon the Series B Preferred stock register, at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up; provided, however, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

 

(5) Intentionally omitted.

 

(6) The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable hereunder shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

(7) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon a conversion hereunder and the number of shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any conversion hereunder, the Corporation shall eliminate such fractional share interest by issuing the Holder an additional full share of Common Stock.

 

(8) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

 

(9) Series B Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock shall be canceled upon conversion.

 

(10) Each Notice of Conversion shall be given by facsimile to the Corporation no later than 4:00 pm EST. Any such notice shall be deemed given and effective upon the transmission of such facsimile at the current facsimile telephone number of the Company. In the event that the Corporation receives the Notice of Conversion after 4:00 p.m. EST, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be the next Business Day. In the event that the Corporation receives the Notice of Conversion after the end of the Business Day, notice will be deemed to have been given the next Business Day.

 

F. Rank. The Series B Preferred Stock shall, as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank (i) prior to the Corporation’s Common Stock (ii) prior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created that, by its terms, ranks junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (“Junior Securities”); (iii) junior to the Series B Preferred Stock and any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created which by its terms ranks senior to the Series B Preferred Stock (“Senior Securities”); (iv) pari passu with any other series of preferred stock of the Corporation hereafter created which by its terms ranks on a parity (“Pari Passu Securities”) with the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

G. Voting Rights. The Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have no voting power whatsoever, except as provided by the Wyoming Business Corporation Act. To the extent that under the Wyoming Business Corporation Act the vote of the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class or series, as applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the Company, the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (except as otherwise may be required under the Wyoming Business Corporation Act) shall constitute the approval of such action by the class. To the extent that under the Wyoming Business Corporation Act Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of Common Stock, voting together as one class, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then convertible (subject to the limitations contained elsewhere herein) using the record date for the taking of such vote of shareholders as the date as of which the Conversion Price is calculated.

 

H. Protection Provisions. So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the unanimous written consent of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Preferred so as to affect adversely the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

 
 

 

I. Miscellaneous.

 

(1) Status of Converted or Redeemed Stock. In case any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed or otherwise repurchased or reacquired, the shares so redeemed, repurchased, or reacquired shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, and shall no longer be designated as Series B Preferred Stock.

 

(2) Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of (a) evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and (b) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, indemnity (with a bond or other security) reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or in the case of mutilation, the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (surrendered for cancellation), the Corporation shall execute and deliver new Preferred Stock Certificates. However, the Corporation shall not be obligated to reissue such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Preferred Stock Certificates if the holder of Series B Preferred Stock contemporaneously requests the Corporation to convert such holder’s Series B Preferred.

 

(3) Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the holders of Series B Preferred granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series B Preferred Stock (and the holders thereof) upon the unanimous written consent of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

(4) Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally, by nationally recognized overnight carrier or by confirmed facsimile transmission, and shall be effective five (5) days after being placed in the mail, if mailed, or upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if delivered personally or by nationally recognized overnight carrier or confirmed facsimile transmission, in each case addressed to a party as set forth below, or such other address and telephone and fax number as may be designated in writing hereafter in the same manner as set forth in this section.

2.2 Special Meetings.

 

(a) Subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock, if any, special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or the Chief Executive Officer, if any, or, if there be no Chairman of the Board and no Chief Executive Officer, by the President, and shall be called by the Secretary upon the written request of at least a majority of the authorized number of directors. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting.

 

(b) Subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock, if any, special meetings of the stockholders may be called if the holders of at least 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting sign, date and deliver to the Corporation one (1) or more written demands for the meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, a written demand for a special meeting may be revoked by a writing to that effect received by the Corporation prior to the receipt by the Corporation of demands sufficient in number to require the holding of a special meeting.

 

(c) No business shall be acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders, except as set forth in the notice of the meeting.

 

2.3 Place of Meetings. Any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation may be held at the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Wyoming or at such other place within or without of the State of Wyoming and United States as may be designated in the notice of meeting. A waiver of notice signed by all stockholders entitled to vote may designate any place for the holding of such meeting.

 

2.4 Notice of Meetings; Waiver of Notice.

 

(a) The Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, if any, a Vice President, the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary or any other individual designated by the Board of Directors shall sign and deliver or cause to be delivered to the stockholders written notice of any stockholders’ meeting not less than ten (10) days, but not more than sixty (60) days, before the date of such meeting. The notice shall state the place, date and time of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. The notice shall contain or be accompanied by such additional information as may be required by the Wyoming Business Corporation Act (“WBCA”).

 

(b) In the case of an annual meeting, subject to Section 2.13 below, any proper business may be presented for action, except that (1) if a proposed plan of merger, conversion or exchange is submitted to a vote, the notice of the meeting must state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to consider the plan of merger, conversion or exchange and must contain or be accompanied by a copy or summary of the plan; and (2) if a proposed action creating dissenters’ rights is to be submitted to a vote, the notice of the meeting must state that the stockholders are or may be entitled to assert dissenters’ rights under WBCA 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, and be accompanied by a copy of those sections.

 

 
 

 

(c) A copy of the notice shall be personally delivered or mailed postage prepaid to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting at the address appearing on the records of the Corporation. Upon mailing, service of the notice is complete, and the time of the notice begins to run from the date upon which the notice is deposited in the mail. If the address of any stockholder does not appear upon the records of the Corporation or is incomplete, it will be sufficient to address any notice to such stockholder at the registered office of the Corporation.

(e) Any stockholder may waive notice of any meeting by a signed writing, either before or after the meeting. Such waiver of notice shall be deemed the equivalent of the giving of such notice.

 

(f) Attendance in person at any meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting.

 

2.5 Determination of Stockholders of Record.

 

(a) For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any distribution or the allotment of any rights, or 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 directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, if applicable.

 

(b) If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders: (1) entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders 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; and (2) for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders 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 must fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 60 days later than the date set for the original meeting.

 

2.6 Quorum; Adjourned Meetings.

 

(a) Unless the Articles of Incorporation provide for a different proportion, stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the Corporation’s capital stock, represented in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters), are necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting. If, on any issue, voting by classes or series is required by the laws of the State of Wyoming, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at least a majority of the voting power, represented in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters), within each such class or series is necessary to constitute a quorum of each such class or series.

 

(b) If a quorum is not represented, a majority of the voting power represented or the person presiding at the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted as originally called. When a stockholders’ meeting is adjourned to another time or place hereunder, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. However, if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to each stockholder of record as of the new record date. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the departure of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum of the voting power.

 

2.7 Voting.

 

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the WBCA, in the Articles of Incorporation or in the resolution providing for the issuance of preferred stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, each stockholder of record, or such stockholder’s duly authorized proxy, shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of voting stock standing registered in such stockholder’s name at the close of business on the record date.

 

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, all votes with respect to shares standing in the name of an individual at the close of business on the record date (including pledged shares) shall be cast only by that individual or such individual’s duly authorized proxy. With respect to shares held by a representative of the estate of a deceased stockholder, or a guardian, conservator, custodian or trustee, even though the shares do not stand in the name of such holder, votes may be cast by such holder upon proof of such representative capacity. In the case of shares under the control of a receiver, the receiver may cast votes carried by such shares even though the shares do not stand of record in the name of the receiver; provided, that the order of a court of competent jurisdiction which appoints the receiver contains the authority to cast votes carried by such shares. If shares stand of record in the name of a minor, votes may be cast by the duly appointed guardian of the estate of such minor only if such guardian has provided the Corporation with written proof of such appointment.

 

 
 

 

(c) With respect to shares standing of record in the name of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity on the record date, votes may be cast: (1) in the case of a corporation, by such individual as the bylaws of such other corporation prescribe, by such individual as may be appointed by resolution of the Board of Directors of such other corporation or by such individual (including, without limitation, the officer making the authorization) authorized in writing to do so by the Chairman of the Board, if any, president, chief executive officer, if any, or any vice president of such corporation; and (2) in the case of a partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity, by an individual representing such stockholder upon presentation to the Corporation of satisfactory evidence of his authority to do so.

 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and except for the Corporation’s shares held in a fiduciary capacity, the Corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock owned by it; and such shares shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to vote.

 

(e) Any holder of shares entitled to vote on any matter may cast a portion of the votes in favor of such matter and refrain from casting the remaining votes or cast the same against the proposal, except in the case of elections of directors. If such holder entitled to vote does vote any of such stockholder’s shares affirmatively and fails to specify the number of affirmative votes, it will be conclusively presumed that the holder is casting affirmative votes with respect to all shares held.

 

(f) With respect to shares standing of record in the name of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, husband and wife as community property, tenants by the entirety, voting trustees or otherwise and shares held by two or more persons (including proxy holders) having the same fiduciary relationship in respect to the same shares, votes may be cast, as follows:

 

(1) If only one person votes, the vote of such person binds all.

 

(2) If more than one person casts votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all.

 

(3) If more than one person casts votes, but the vote is evenly split on a particular matter, the votes shall be deemed cast proportionately, as split.

 

(g) If a quorum is present, unless the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the WBCA or other applicable law provide for a different proportion, action by the stockholders entitled to vote on a matter, other than the election of directors, is approved by and is the act of the stockholders if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, unless voting by classes or series is required for any action of the stockholders by the laws of the State of Wyoming, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in which case the number of votes cast in favor of the action by the voting power of each such class or series must exceed the number of votes cast in opposition to the action by the voting power of each such class or series.

 

(h) If a quorum is present, directors shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast.

 

2.8 Proxies. At any meeting of stockholders, any holder of shares entitled to vote may designate, in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Wyoming, another person or persons to act as a proxy or proxies. Every proxy shall continue in full force and effect until its expiration or revocation in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Wyoming.

 

2.9 Action Without Meeting.

 

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, any action required by statute to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock 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 thereon were present and voted.

 

 
 

 

(b) Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner herein required, written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take action are delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Wyoming, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

 

(c) Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take action were delivered to the Corporation as provided in the WBCA. If the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any section of the WBCA if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting thereof, then the certificate under such section shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any vote of stockholders, that written consent has been given in accordance with the WBCA.

 

2.10 Organization.

 

(a) Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, or, in the absence of the chairman, by the Vice-Chairman of the Board, or in the absence of the Vice-Chairman, the President, or, in the absence of the President, by the chief executive officer, if any, or, in the absence of the foregoing persons, by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or, in the absence of such designation by the Board of Directors, by a chairman chosen at the meeting by the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes which all stockholders present in person or by proxy are entitled to cast. The Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary an Assistant Secretary, shall act as Secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as Secretary of the meeting. The order of business at each such meeting shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts and things as are necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, the establishment of procedures for the maintenance of order and safety, limitation on the time allotted to questions or comments on the affairs of the Corporation, restrictions on entry to such meeting after the time prescribed for the commencement thereof and the opening and closing of the voting polls.

 

(b) The chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors of elections. The inspector or inspectors may (1) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each; (2) determine the number of shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies or ballots; (3) count all votes and ballots; (4) determine any challenges made to any determination made by the inspector(s); and (5) certify the determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and the count of all votes and ballots.

 

2.11 Absentees’ Consent to Meetings. Transactions of any meeting of the stockholders are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is represented, either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not represented in person or by proxy (and those who, although present, either object at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened or expressly object at the meeting to the consideration of matters not included in the notice which are legally or by the terms of these Bylaws required to be included therein), signs a written waiver of notice and/or consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents, and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records and made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called, noticed or convened and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not properly included in the notice if such objection is expressly made at the time any such matters are presented at the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or consent, except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws.

 

2.12 Director Nominations. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of preferred stock to nominate and elect directors, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made by the Board of Directors or by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE VIII — INDEMNIFICATION

 

8.1 Indemnification and Insurance.

 

(a) Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

(1) For purposes of this Article VIII,

 

 
 

 

(A) “Indemnitee” shall mean each director or officer who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding (as herein defined), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or member, manager or managing member of a predecessor limited liability company or affiliate of such limited liability company or is or was serving in any capacity at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, member, manager or fiduciary of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise; and

 

(B) “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.

 

(2) Each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Wyoming law, against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding; provided that such Indemnitee either is not liable pursuant to the WBCA or acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any Proceeding that is criminal in nature, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee is liable pursuant to the WBCA or did not act in good faith and in a manner in which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal proceeding he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee for any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Corporation or for any amounts paid in settlement to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts as the court deems proper. Except as so ordered by a court and for advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section, indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of an Indemnitee if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause of action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Bylaws, no director or officer may be indemnified for expenses incurred in defending any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding (including without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that such director or officer incurred in his capacity as a stockholder.

 

(3) Indemnification pursuant to this Section shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation or member, manager or managing member of a predecessor limited liability company or affiliate of such limited liability company or a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, member, manager or fiduciary of, or to serve in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators.

 

(4) The expenses of Indemnitees must be paid by the Corporation or through insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or through other financial arrangements made by the Corporation, as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. To the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in by him in connection with the defense.

 

(b) Indemnification of Employees and Other Persons. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors and to the extent provided in such action, indemnify employees and other persons as though they were Indemnitees.

 

(c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification provided in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise.

 

(d) Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any Indemnitee for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee, member, managing member or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.

 

 
 

 

(e) Other Financial Arrangements. The other financial arrangements which may be made by the Corporation may include the following: (1) the creation of a trust fund; (2) the establishment of a program of self-insurance; (3) the securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the Corporation; and (4) the establishment of a letter of credit, guarantee or surety. No financial arrangement made pursuant to this subsection may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.

 

(f) Other Matters Relating to Insurance or Financial Arrangements. Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this Section may be provided by the Corporation or any other person approved by the Board of Directors, even if all or part of the other person’s stock or other securities is owned by the Corporation. In the absence of fraud, (1) the decision of the Board of Directors as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this Section and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and (2) the insurance or other financial arrangement is not void or voidable and does not subject any director approving it to personal liability for his action; even if a director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement.

 

8.2 Amendment. The provisions of this Article VIII relating to indemnification shall constitute a contract between the Corporation and each of its directors and officers which may be modified as to any director or officer only with that person’s consent or as specifically provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws relating to their amendment generally, any repeal or amendment of this Article which is adverse to any director or officer shall apply to such director or officer only on a prospective basis, and shall not limit the rights of an Indemnitee to indemnification with respect to any action or failure to act occurring prior to the time of such repeal or amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws (including, without limitation, Article X below), no repeal or amendment of these Bylaws shall affect any or all of this Article VIII so as to limit or reduce the indemnification in any manner unless adopted by (a) the unanimous vote of the directors of the Corporation then serving, or (b) by the stockholders as set forth in Article X hereof; provided that no such amendment shall have a retroactive effect inconsistent with the preceding sentence.

 

ARTICLE IX — CHANGES IN WYOMING LAW

 

References in these Bylaws to Wyoming law or the WBCA or to any provision thereof shall be to such law as it existed on the date these Bylaws were adopted or as such law thereafter may be changed; provided that (a) in the case of any change which expands the liability of directors or officers or limits the indemnification rights or the rights to advancement of expenses which the Corporation may provide in Article VIII hereof, the rights to limited liability, to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in the Articles of Incorporation and/or these Bylaws shall continue as theretofore to the extent permitted by law; and (b) if such change permits the Corporation, without the requirement of any further action by stockholders or directors, to limit further the liability of directors or limit the liability of officers or to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than the Corporation was permitted to provide prior to such change, then liability thereupon shall be so limited and the rights to indemnification and the advancement of expenses shall be so broadened to the extent permitted by law.

 

ARTICLE X — AMENDMENT OR REPEAL

 

10.1 Board of Directors. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly authorized to adopt, repeal, alter, amend and rescind these Bylaws.
