NOTICE OF
ACTION OF STOCKHOLDERS BY WRITTEN CONSENT

Dear Stockholder:

Notice is hereby given that we have received in lieu of a meeting, written consents from stockholders representing a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock approving (1) the reincorporation (the “Reincorporation”) of Driftwood Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Driftwood-Nevada” or the “Company”), in Delaware by merger with and into its wholly-owned, newly formed Delaware subsidiary, Driftwood Ventures, Inc. (“Driftwood-Delaware”), and (2) the adoption of the Company’s 2007 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”).

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

As of the close of business on November 19, 2007, the record date for shares entitled to notice of and to sign written consents in connection with the Reincorporation and the adoption of the 2007 Plan, there were 5,807,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote. Prior to the mailing of this Information Statement, certain of our stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding common stock signed written consents approving the Reincorporation and the adoption of the 2007 Plan. As a result, the Reincorporation and the adoption of the 2007 Plan has been approved, and neither a meeting of our stockholders nor additional written consents are necessary to effectuate the Reincorporation or adopt the 2007 Plan.
 
The Reincorporation is intended to be effective at 12:01 a.m., Central Standard Time, on or about December __, 2007. The Reincorporation will result in the following:

 
·
the Company will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and by a new Certificate of Incorporation and new Bylaws prepared in accordance with Delaware law;
 
 
 
 
·
the Company’s authorized capital stock will change from 75,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock, all of which are common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 80,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock, consisting of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, with the right conferred upon the Board of Directors to set the dividend, voting, conversion, liquidation and other rights, as well as the qualifications, limitations and restrictions with respect to the preferred stock as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time;
 
 
 
 
·
the persons currently serving as officers and directors of the Company will continue to serve in their respective capacities after the Reincorporation; and
 
 
 
 
·
Driftwood-Delaware will: (i) accede to all of the rights, privileges, immunities and powers of the Company; (ii) acquire and possess all of the property of the Company whether real, personal or mixed; and (iii) assume all of the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company.
 
The enclosed Information Statement is first being sent to stockholders on or about November __, 2007. It is intended to provide certain information regarding the Reincorporation and the 2007 Plan to the stockholders who have not given their written consent to the foregoing actions.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Robert S. Ellin

NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
 
 
This Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is being furnished pursuant to Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), to the holders (the "Stockholders") of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), of Driftwood Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), to notify such Stockholders of the following:

 
·
On November 19, 2007, the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of Stockholders from the holders of 5,461,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Majority Common Stockholders”), representing approximately 94% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, approving the reincorporation of the Company from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”); and

 
·
On November 19, 2007, the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of Stockholders from the Majority Common Stockholders approving the adoption of the Company’s 2007 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”).

On November 19, 2007, pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) §78.315, the Board of Directors of the Company had unanimously approved the above actions, subject to stockholder approval. The Nevada General Corporation Law permits the majority of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock entitled to vote on a particular matter to approve and authorize actions by written consent of a majority of the shares outstanding as if the actions were undertaken at a duly constituted meeting of our stockholders. The Majority Common Stockholders approved both the Reincorporation and the adoption of the 2007 Plan by written consent as set forth above. Accordingly, your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of the Reincorporation or the 2007 Plan.

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. The Company will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by them. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on November 19, 2007 as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of stockholders who are entitled to receive this Information Statement.

You are being provided with this Information Statement pursuant to Section 14C of the Exchange Act and Regulation 14C and Schedule 14C thereunder. This Information Statement is being mailed on or about November __, 2007 to all Stockholders of record as of the Record Date.

OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES

As of the Record Date, the Company had 5,807,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, consisting of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock.

On November 19, 2007, the holders of 5,461,000 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 94% of the 5,807,000 shares of Common Stock then outstanding, executed and delivered to the Company written consents approving the Reincorporation of the Company from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware and the 2007 Plan. Because the action has been approved by the Majority Common Stockholders, no proxies are being solicited with this Information Statement. The Nevada General Corporation Law (“NGCL”) provides in substance that unless the Company's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, stockholders may take action without a meeting of stockholders and without prior notice if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is or are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present.
 
The following actions were taken based upon the unanimous recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) and the written consent of the Majority Common Stockholders:

ACTION 1


General Information

The following questions and answers are intended to respond to frequently asked questions concerning the Reincorporation of the Company in Delaware. These questions do not, and are not intended to, address all the questions that may be important to you. You should carefully read the entire Information Statement, as well as its appendices and the documents incorporated by reference.

Questions and Answers

 
Q:
Why is Driftwood-Nevada reincorporating in Delaware?
 
 
 
 
A:
Delaware has adopted a General Corporation Law that is generally recognized as one of the most comprehensive and progressive state corporate statutes. Therefore, we believe that the Reincorporation in Delaware will give us more flexibility and simplicity in various transactions. Also, the Delaware courts have provided extensive case law with respect to corporate corporate matters, which will provide the Company greater predictability and reduce certain uncertainties and risks in conducting our business.
 
 
 
 
Q:
Why isn’t Driftwood-Nevada holding a meeting of stockholders to approve the Reincorporation?
 
 
 
 
A:
The Board of Directors has already approved the Reincorporation and has received the written consent of the Majority Common Stockholders, who represent a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock. Under Nevada law, this transaction may be approved by the written consent of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon. Because we have already received written consents representing the necessary number of shares, a meeting is not necessary and represents a substantial and avoidable expense.
     
 
Q:
What are the principal features of the Reincorporation?
 
 
 
 
A:
The Reincorporation will be accomplished by a merger of Driftwood-Nevada with and into its wholly-owned, newly formed subsidiary, Driftwood Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation. One new share of the Driftwood-Delaware common stock will be issued for each share of Driftwood-Nevada common stock that is held by our stockholders at the effective time of the Reincorporation. Following the reincorporation, the shares of Driftwood-Nevada will cease to trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and the shares of Driftwood-Delaware will begin trading in their place, under the same trading symbol “DFTW.OB”.
 
4

 
 
Q:
How will the Reincorporation affect my ownership of Driftwood-Nevada?
 
 
 
 
A:
After the Reincorporation becomes effective, you will own the same percentage of Driftwood-Delaware that you owned of Driftwood-Nevada immediately prior to the Reincorporation.
 
 
 
 
Q:
Why is the Company making available as part of its authorized capital stock “blank check” preferred stock in connection with the Reincorporation?
 
 
 
 
A:
The term "blank check" preferred stock refers to stock for which the designations, preferences, conversion rights, cumulative, relative, participating, optional or other rights, including voting rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are determined by the Board of Directors of a company. Upon effectiveness of the Reincorporation, the Board of Directors of the Company will be entitled to authorize the designation and issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series with such limitations and restrictions as may be determined in the Board of Directors sole discretion, with no further authorization by stockholders required for the creation and issuance thereof. When required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the state of Delaware, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the express authority to execute, acknowledge and file a certificate of designations setting forth any and all powers, designations, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions on the stock. The Board of Directors believes that having such blank check preferred stock available for, among other things, proposed financing transactions, as well as possible issuances in connection with such activities as public or private offerings of shares for cash, dividends payable in stock of the Company, acquisitions of other companies or businesses, and otherwise, is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.
 
 
 
 
Q:
How will the Reincorporation affect the officers, directors and employees of Driftwood-Nevada?
 
 
 
 
A:
The officers, directors and employees of Driftwood-Nevada will become the officers, directors and employees of Driftwood-Delaware after the Reincorporation.
 
 
 
 
Q:
How will the Reincorporation affect the business of Driftwood-Nevada?
 
 
 
 
A:
Driftwood-Delaware will continue the business of Driftwood-Nevada at the same locations and with the same assets. Driftwood-Nevada will cease to exist at the effective time of the Reincorporation.
 
 
 
 
Q:
How do I exchange stock certificates of Driftwood-Nevada for stock certificates of Driftwood-Delaware?
 
 
 
 
A:
After the Reincorporation, our transfer agent will send you the documents necessary to exchange your stock certificates.
 
 
 
 
Q:
What happens if I do not surrender my stock certificates of Driftwood-Nevada?
 
 
 
 
A:
Although we encourage you to surrender your stock certificates, you are not required to do so in order to continue to have the rights as a stockholder of Driftwood-Delaware.
 
 
 
 
Q:
What if I have lost my Driftwood-Nevada stock certificates?
 
 
 
 
A:
If you have lost your Driftwood-Nevada stock certificates, you should contact our transfer agent as soon as possible to have a new certificate issued. You may be required to post a bond or other security to reimburse us for any damage or costs if the certificate is later delivered for conversion. Our transfer agent may be reached at:

Q:
Can I require the Company to purchase my stock as a result of the Reincorporation?
 
 
 
 
A:
Yes. Under Nevada law, you are entitled to appraisal and purchase of your stock as a result of the Reincorporation. See the section entitled “Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal.”
 
 
 
 
Q:
Who will pay the costs of Reincorporation?
 
 
 
 
A:
The Company will pay all of the costs of the Reincorporation, including the costs of printing and distributing this Information Statement and related legal and accounting services. We may also pay brokerage firms and other custodians for their reasonable expenses for forwarding information materials to the beneficial owners of our common stock. We do not anticipate contracting for other services in connection with the Reincorporation. Each stockholder must pay the costs of exchanging his or her stock certificates for new stock certificates.

Q:
Will I have to pay taxes as a result of the Reincorporation?
 
 
 
 
A:
We believe that the Reincorporation is not a taxable event and that you will be entitled to the same aggregate basis in the shares of Driftwood-Delaware that you had in your shares of Driftwood-Nevada. EVERYONE’S TAX SITUATION IS DIFFERENT, AND YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR PERSONAL TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE TAX EFFECTS OF THE REINCORPORATION.

The following discussion summarizes certain aspects of the Reincorporation of the Company in Delaware. This summary does not include all of the provisions of the Plan and Agreement of Merger between Driftwood-Nevada and Driftwood-Delaware, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Merger Agreement”), the Certificate of Incorporation of Driftwood-Delaware (the “Delaware Certificate”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, or the Bylaws of Driftwood-Delaware (the “Delaware Bylaws”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C. Copies of the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Driftwood-Nevada (the “Nevada Articles” and the “Nevada Bylaws,” respectively) are available for inspection at the principal office of the Company and copies will be sent to stockholders upon request. THE DISCUSSION CONTAINED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE MERGER AGREEMENT, THE DELAWARE CERTIFICATE, THE DELAWARE BYLAWS, AND THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF NEVADA CORPORATE LAW AND DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW.

Principal Reasons for Reincorporation in Delaware.

We believe that the Reincorporation will give us a greater measure of flexibility and simplicity in corporate governance than is available under Nevada law and will increase the marketability of our securities. The Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) is generally recognized as one of the most comprehensive and progressive state corporate statutes. Accordingly, to the extent the DGCL addresses matters of corporate concern more thoroughly than the corporate statutes of other states and is more reflective of current trends and developments in the business community, by reincorporating the Company in Delaware, the Company (through its successor, Driftwood-Delaware) will be better suited to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise and to provide for its ever-changing business needs. In addition, there exists in Delaware a substantial body of case law with respect to corporate matters, including the governance of the internal affairs of a corporation and its relationships and contacts with others. This has brought about greater predictability under Delaware law and has therefore reduced the uncertainties and risks commonly associated with resolving disputes of a corporate nature and structuring the internal affairs of a corporation and its relationships and contacts with others. As a result, many major corporations have initially incorporated in Delaware or have changed their corporate domiciles to Delaware in a manner similar to that which we are proposing. For these reasons, we believe that the Company’s business and affairs can be conducted to better advantage if the Company is able to operate under Delaware law. See “Comparison of Significant Provisions of the Corporation Laws of Delaware and Nevada.”

Principal Features of the Reincorporation.

The Reincorporation will be effected by the merger of Driftwood-Nevada with and into Driftwood-Delaware pursuant to the Merger Agreement, resulting in a change in our state of incorporation from Nevada to Delaware. Driftwood-Delaware is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Driftwood-Nevada, incorporated under the DGCL for the sole purpose of effecting the Reincorporation. The Reincorporation will become effective at 12:01 a.m., Central Standard time, on or about December __, 2007, or such later time as the required merger documents have been filed in, and accepted by, Delaware and Nevada (the “Effective Time”). Following the merger, Driftwood-Delaware will be the surviving corporation and will operate under the name “Driftwood Ventures, Inc.”

At the Effective Time:
 
 
·
each outstanding share of Driftwood-Nevada common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Nevada Common Stock”), will be converted into one share of Driftwood-Delaware common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Delaware Common Stock”);
 
 
 
 
·
each outstanding share of Delaware Common Stock held by Driftwood-Nevada will be retired and canceled and will resume the status of authorized and unissued Delaware Common Stock;
 
 
 
 
·
each share of Nevada Common Stock will be cancelled and retired;
 
 
 
 
·
Driftwood-Nevada will cease to exist; and
 
 
 
 
·
Driftwood-Delaware will: (i) accede to all of the rights, privileges, immunities and powers of Driftwood-Nevada; (ii) acquire and possess all of the property of Driftwood-Nevada whether real, personal or mixed; and (iii) assume all of the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of Driftwood-Nevada.
 
6

 
After the Effective Time, the Company will be governed by the Delaware Certificate, the Delaware Bylaws and the DGCL, which include a number of provisions that are not present in the Nevada Articles, the Nevada Bylaws or the Nevada General Corporation Law. Accordingly, as described below, a number of significant changes in stockholders’ rights will be effected in connection with the Reincorporation, some of which may be viewed as limiting the rights of stockholders. See “Comparison of Significant Provisions of the Corporation Laws of Delaware and Nevada.”
 
No federal or state regulatory requirements must be complied with and no approvals must be obtained in order to consummate the Reincorporation.

Effective Date of Merger.

The effectiveness of the Reincorporation is conditioned upon the filing of Articles of Merger with the State of Nevada and a Certificate of Merger with the State of Delaware. We anticipate filing documents in the respective states twenty (20) days after the date of mailing of this Information Statement, at which time the Reincorporation will become effective. As a result of the Reincorporation, we will cease our corporate existence in the State of Nevada.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the merger may be abandoned by the Board of Directors of Driftwood-Nevada and Driftwood-Delaware at any time prior to the Effective Time. In addition, the Board of Directors of Driftwood-Nevada may amend the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the Effective Time, but no amendment may, without approval by a majority of the outstanding shares of Nevada Common Stock, change the consideration to be received in exchange for the Nevada Common Stock, change any term of the Delaware Certificate, or change any of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement if such change would adversely affect the holders of Nevada Common Stock.

No Change in Business, Management or Board Members.

After the Effective Time, the business operations of Driftwood-Delaware will continue as they are presently conducted by Driftwood-Nevada. The members of the Board of Directors of Driftwood-Delaware will be the same persons presently serving on the Board of Directors of Driftwood-Nevada. The individuals who will serve as executive officers of Driftwood-Delaware will be the same persons who currently serve as executive officers of Driftwood-Nevada. Such persons and their respective positions are set forth below under the caption “Officers and Directors.”

Change in Authorized Capital.

The authorized capital stock of Driftwood-Delaware will consist of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Delaware Preferred Stock”). The Delaware Preferred Stock will be issuable in series by action of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will be authorized, without further action by the stockholders, to fix the designations, powers, preferences and other rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the unissued Delaware Preferred Stock, including preferences and other terms that might discourage takeover attempts by third parties.
 
Under Nevada law, a dissenting stockholder of a corporation engaged in certain major corporate transactions may, under certain limited circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights. Appraisal rights permit a stockholder to receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration that he or she would otherwise receive in any such transaction. See the section below entitled “Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal.”

Exchange of Stock Certificates.

After the Effective Time, and upon surrender for cancellation of a stock certificate representing Nevada Common Stock (a “Nevada Stock Certificate”), the holder of such stock certificate will be entitled to receive a stock certificate for Delaware Common Stock (a “Delaware Stock Certificate”). The Delaware Stock Certificate will represent that number of shares of Delaware Common Stock into which the Nevada Common Stock represented by the surrendered Nevada Stock Certificate have been converted in the merger, and the surrendered Nevada Stock Certificate will be cancelled.

Although we encourage you to exchange your Nevada Stock Certificates for Delaware Stock Certificates, holders of Nevada Common Stock are not required to do so. Dividends and other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to Delaware Common Stock and payable to holders of record thereof after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Nevada Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of Delaware Common Stock which by virtue of the merger are represented by such Nevada Stock Certificate. Such holder of an unsurrendered Nevada Stock Certificate will also be entitled to exercise all voting and other rights as a holder of Delaware Common Stock.
 
7

 
Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal.

Dissenters’ rights will be available to stockholders with respect to the Reincorporation and will be governed by Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes. If a stockholder does not approve the Reincorporation, such stockholder will be entitled to dissent. We will, no later than 10 days after consummation of the merger, send a dissenters’ notice to any stockholders who did not vote in favor of the merger. The dissenters’ notice will: (i) state where demand for payment must be sent and when and where the share certificates for shares of our common stock must be deposited; (ii) inform the holders of shares not represented by certificates to what extent the transfer of the shares will be restricted after the demand for payment is received; (iii) supply a form for demanding payment; (iv) set a date by which we must receive the demand for payment; and (v) be accompanied by a copy of Chapter 92A.300 to 92A.500 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
 
A stockholder to whom a dissenters’ notice is sent must: (i) demand payment; (ii) certify whether he acquired beneficial ownership before the date set out in the dissenters’ notice; and (iii) deposit the share certificates in accordance with the dissenters’ notice.
 
Within 30 days after receiving any demands for payment, we shall pay to each dissenter who complied with the provisions of Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statues the amount we estimate to be the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest. The fair value of the shares is equal to the value of the shares immediately before the consummation of the merger, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the merger unless exclusion would be inequitable. The payment will be accompanied by: (i) our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007; (ii) a statement of the estimate of the fair value; (iii) an explanation of how interest was calculated; and (iv) those other items required by Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
 
A dissenting stockholder receiving such payment may: (i) reject the payment and demand payment of the fair value and accrued interest; or (ii) accept the payment after providing an estimate of the fair value plus accrued interest and demanding payment of such estimate.
 
This description is not intended to be complete. If you are considering exercising your dissenters’ rights with respect to the Reincorporation, please review Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 92A.300 to 92A.500, particularly the steps required to perfect dissenters’ rights, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Failure to take any one of the required steps may result in termination of your dissenters’ rights under Nevada law. If you are considering dissenting, you should consult with your own legal advisor.

Capitalization.

The authorized capital of Driftwood-Nevada on the Record Date consisted of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of the Record Date, approximately 5,807,000 shares of Nevada Common Stock were outstanding. The authorized capital of Driftwood-Delaware, which will be the authorized capital of the Company after the Reincorporation, consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. After the Effective Time, Driftwood-Delaware will have approximately 5,807,000 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. 1,000,000 shares of Delaware Common Stock will be reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2007 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan. Therefore, at the Effective Time, the Company will have approximately 68,193,000 shares of Delaware Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Delaware Preferred Stock available for issuance. The Reincorporation will not affect total stockholder equity or total capitalization of the Company.

The Board of Directors may in the future authorize, without further stockholder approval, the issuance of such available shares including the newly available shares of Delaware Preferred Stock, to such persons and for such consideration upon such terms, including dividend or interest rates, conversion prices, voting rights, redemption prices, maturity dates and other similar terms, as the Board of Directors determines. Such issuance could result in significant dilution of the voting power and, possibly, the stockholders’ equity, of then-existing stockholders. The Board of Directors believes it prudent to have shares of Delaware Preferred Stock available for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors may from time to time deem necessary and advisable including, without limitation, acquisitions, the raising of additional capital and assurance of flexibility of action in the future.

The issuance of additional authorized Delaware Common Stock or Delaware Preferred Stock may have the effect of deterring or preventing persons seeking to take control of Driftwood-Delaware through a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise or from causing removal of incumbent management or a corporate transaction such as a merger. For example, the issuance of Delaware Common Stock or Delaware Preferred Stock could be used to deter or prevent such a change of control through dilution of stock ownership of persons seeking to take control or by rendering a transaction proposed by such persons more difficult.

Significant Changes in the Company’s Charter and Bylaws to be implemented by the Reincorporation.

Limitation of Liability. The Delaware Certificate contains a provision limiting or eliminating, with certain exceptions, the liability of directors to Driftwood-Delaware for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties. The Board of Directors believes that such provision will better enable Driftwood-Delaware to attract and retain as directors effective individuals with the experience and background required to direct Driftwood-Delaware’s business and affairs.

Directors have been subject to substantial monetary damage awards in recent years. Traditionally, courts have not held directors to be insurers against losses a corporation may suffer as a consequence of the directors’ good faith exercise of business judgment, even if, in retrospect, the directors’ decision was an unfortunate one. In the past, directors have had broad discretion to make decisions on behalf of the corporation under the “business judgment rule.” This rule offers protection to directors who, after reasonable investigation and deliberation, adopt a course of action that they reasonably and in good faith believe will benefit the corporation, but which ultimately proves to be disadvantageous. Under those circumstances, courts have typically been reluctant to subject directors’ business judgments to further scrutiny. Some recent court cases have, however, imposed significant personal liability on directors for failure to exercise an informed business judgment with the result that the potential exposure of directors to monetary damages has increased. Consequently, legal proceedings against directors relating to decisions made by directors on behalf of corporations have significantly increased in number, cost of defense and level of damages claimed. Whether or not such an action is meritorious, the cost of defense can be well beyond the personal resources of a director. The Delaware General Assembly considered such developments a threat to the quality and stability of the governance of Delaware corporations because of the unwillingness of directors, in many instances, to serve without adequate protection and because of the deterrent effect on entrepreneurial decision-making by directors who serve without such protection. In response, the Delaware General Assembly has adopted provisions of the DGCL which permit a corporation to include in its charter a provision to limit or eliminate, with certain exceptions, the personal liability of directors to a corporation and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties. While Nevada law has a similar provision permitting the adoption of provisions in the articles of incorporation limiting personal liability, the Nevada provision does differ from the Delaware provision. First, the Nevada provision applies to both directors and officers. Second, a Nevada corporation is not permitted to limit the liability of an officer or director if it is proven that his act or failure to act constituted a breach of fiduciary duties as a director or officer and his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.

The Board of Directors believes that the limitation on directors’ liability permitted under Delaware law will assist Driftwood-Delaware in attracting and retaining qualified directors by limiting directors’ exposure to liability. The Reincorporation proposal will implement this limitation on liability of the directors of Driftwood-Delaware, as Article IX of the Delaware Certificate provides that to the fullest extent that the DGCL now or hereafter permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, no director will be liable to Driftwood-Delaware or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty. Under this provision, Driftwood-Delaware’s directors will not be liable for monetary damages for acts or omissions occurring after the Effective Time of the Reincorporation, even if they should fail to satisfy their duty of care (which requires directors to exercise informed business judgment in discharging their duties) through negligence or gross negligence.

Article IX of the Delaware Certificate would not limit or eliminate any liability of directors for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time. As provided under Delaware law, Article IX cannot eliminate or limit the liability of directors for:

 
·
breaches of their duty of loyalty to Driftwood-Delaware;

 
·
acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 
·
paying a dividend or effecting a stock repurchase or redemption which is illegal under the DGCL; or

 
·
transactions from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

Further, Article IX would not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as an action to enjoin or rescind a transaction involving a breach of a director’s duty of care. Article IX pertains to breaches of duty by directors acting as directors and not to breaches of duty by directors acting as officers (even if the individual in question is also a director). In addition, Article IX would not affect a director’s liability to third parties or under the federal securities laws.

The Board of Directors recognizes that Article IX may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors, and may discourage or deter stockholders from instituting litigation against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties, even though such an action, if successful, might benefit Driftwood-Delaware and its stockholders. However, given the difficult environment and potential for incurring liabilities currently facing directors of publicly-held corporations, the Board of Directors believes that Article IX is in the best interests of Driftwood-Delaware and its stockholders, because it should enhance our ability to retain highly qualified directors and reduce a possible deterrent to entrepreneurial decision-making. In addition, the Board of Directors believes that Article IX may have a favorable impact over the long term on the availability, cost, amount and scope of coverage of directors’ liability insurance, should the Company desire to acquire such insurance for the protection of directors. The Board of Directors believes that these provisions will provide a better balancing of the legal obligations of, and protections for, directors and will contribute to the quality and stability of our corporate governance. The Board of Directors has concluded that the benefit to stockholders of improved corporate governance outweighs any possible adverse effects on stockholders of reducing the exposure of directors to liability and broadening indemnification rights.

Indemnification. The DGCL authorizes broad indemnification rights which corporations may provide to their directors, officers, employees and other corporate agents. The Nevada General Corporation Law also contains broad indemnification provisions. The Delaware Certificate reflects the provisions of Delaware law, as it may be amended, and, as discussed below, provides broad rights to indemnification.

In recent years, investigations, actions, suits and proceedings, including actions, suits and proceedings by or in the right of a corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, seeking to impose liability on, or involving as witnesses, directors and officers of publicly-held corporations have become increasingly common. Such proceedings are typically very expensive, whatever their eventual outcome. In view of the costs and uncertainties of litigation in general, it is often prudent to settle proceedings in which claims against a director or officer are made. Settlement amounts, even if immaterial to the corporation involved and minor compared to the enormous amounts frequently claimed, often exceed the financial resources of most individual defendants. Even in proceedings in which a director or officer is not named as a defendant, he may incur substantial expenses and attorneys’ fees if he is called as a witness or otherwise becomes involved in the proceeding. As a result, an individual may conclude that the potential exposure to the costs and risks of proceedings in which he or she may become involved may exceed any benefit to such person from serving as a director or officer of a public corporation. This is particularly true for directors who are not also officers of the corporation. The broad scope of indemnification now available under Delaware law will permit Driftwood-Delaware to continue to offer its directors and officers protection against these risks. The Board of Directors believes that such protection is reasonable and desirable in order to enhance Driftwood-Delaware’s ability to attract and retain qualified directors as well as to encourage directors to continue to make good faith decisions on behalf of Driftwood-Delaware with regard to the best interests of Driftwood-Delaware and its stockholders.
 
The Delaware Certificate, unlike the Nevada Articles, requires indemnification of Driftwood-Delaware’s directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, with respect to expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by any person in connection with any actual or threatened proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of Driftwood-Delaware or is or was serving at the request of Driftwood-Delaware as a director or officer of another entity, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The right to indemnification includes the right to receive payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding. However, if the DGCL requires the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, payment shall be made only if such person undertakes to repay Driftwood-Delaware if it is ultimately determined that he or she was not entitled to indemnification. Directors and officers will not be indemnified for expenses or liabilities incurred in connection with proceedings brought against such persons otherwise than in the capacities in which they serve Driftwood-Delaware. Under the DGCL and the Delaware Bylaws, Driftwood-Delaware may provide the same indemnification to its employees and agents as it provides to its directors and officers.

The Nevada Bylaws provide for indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents to the full extent provided by the applicable Nevada indemnification statute. Under both Delaware law and Nevada law, rights to indemnification need not be limited to those provided by statute. As a result, under Delaware law and the Delaware Certificate, Driftwood-Delaware will be permitted to indemnify its directors and officers, within the limits established by law and public policy, pursuant to an express contract, a bylaw provision, a stockholder vote or otherwise, any or all of which could provide indemnification rights broader than those currently available under the Nevada Articles and Nevada Bylaws or expressly provided for under Nevada or Delaware law. In addition, the Delaware Certificate and Delaware Bylaws authorize Driftwood-Delaware to purchase and maintain indemnity insurance, if it so chooses to guard against future expense.

The Board of Directors recognizes that Driftwood-Delaware may in the future be obligated to incur substantial expense as a result of the indemnification rights conferred under the Delaware Certificate, which are intended to be as broad as possible under applicable law.

Comparison of Significant Provisions of the Corporation Laws of Delaware and Nevada.

After the Effective Time, the stockholders of Driftwood-Nevada, whose rights currently are governed by Nevada law and the Nevada Articles and Nevada Bylaws, will become stockholders of Driftwood-Delaware, and their rights as stockholders will then be governed by Delaware law and the Delaware Certificate and Delaware Bylaws.

Although the corporate statutes of Nevada and Delaware are similar, certain differences exist. The most significant differences, in the judgment of the management of Driftwood-Nevada, are summarized below. This summary is not intended to be complete, and stockholders should refer to the Nevada General Corporation Law and the Delaware General Corporation Law to understand how these laws apply to Driftwood-Nevada and Driftwood-Delaware.

Annual Meetings. Under Delaware law, if the annual meeting for the election of directors is not held on the designated date, or action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting has not been taken, the directors are required to cause that meeting to be held as soon as is convenient. If there is a failure to hold the annual meeting or to take action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting for a period of 30 days after the designated date for the annual meeting, or if no date has been designated for a period of 13 months after the latest to occur of the organization of the corporation, its last annual meeting or the last action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting, the Court of Chancery may summarily order a meeting to be held upon the application of any stockholder or director. Under Nevada law, if the annual meeting is not held within 18 months after the last election of directors, the district court has jurisdiction to order the election of directors upon application of any one or more stockholders holding at least 15% of the voting power.

Special Meetings of Stockholders. Nevada law provides that, unless otherwise set forth in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, the Board of Directors, any two directors or the President may call a special meeting of stockholders. The Nevada Bylaws provide that special meetings may be called by the Board of Directors or such person or persons authorized by the Board of Directors. Delaware law permits special meetings of stockholders to be called by the Board of Directors or by any other person authorized in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws to call a special meeting. The Delaware Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors or the record holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares may call a special meeting of the stockholders.

Actions by Written Consent of Stockholders. Nevada law and Delaware law each provide that, unless the articles/certificate of incorporation provide otherwise, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if the holders of outstanding stock having at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting consents to the action in writing. In addition, Delaware law requires the corporation to give prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those stockholders who did not consent in writing.

Duration of Proxies. Under Delaware law, a proxy executed by a stockholder will remain valid for a period of three years unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Under Nevada law, a proxy is effective only for a period of six months, unless the written authorization states that the proxy is irrevocable and it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy or unless otherwise provided in the proxy, which duration may not exceed seven years.

Removal of Directors. Under Nevada law and the Nevada Bylaws, directors of a corporation may be removed from office by the holders of not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the corporation’s issued and outstanding stock. Nevada law does not distinguish between removal of directors with and without cause. However, under Delaware law and the Delaware Bylaws, directors of a corporation may be removed from office, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Vacancies in Directors. Under Delaware law, subject to the rights, if any, of any series of preferred stock to elect directors and to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors, vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. Similarly, Nevada law provides that vacancies may be filled by the remaining directors. The Delaware Bylaws provide that vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled by vote of the stockholders, whereas the Nevada Bylaws provide that casual vacancies may be filled by the remaining directors.

Cumulative Voting. Cumulative voting for directors entitles stockholders to cast a number of votes that is equal to the number of voting shares held multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. Stockholders may cast all such votes either for one nominee or distribute such votes among up to as many candidates as there are positions to be filled. Cumulative voting may enable a minority stockholder or group of stockholders to elect at least one representative to the Board of Directors where such stockholders would not otherwise be able to elect any directors.

Nevada law permits cumulative voting in the election of directors if the articles of incorporation provide for cumulative voting and certain procedures for the exercise of cumulative voting are followed. Delaware law also permits cumulative voting if provided for in the certificate of incorporation. The Nevada Articles do not provide for the right of cumulative voting, and the Delaware Bylaws expressly deny the right of cumulative voting in the election of directors. Because neither Driftwood-Nevada nor Driftwood-Delaware utilizes cumulative voting, there will be no difference in stockholders’ rights with respect to this issue.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors and Advancement of Expenses. Delaware and Nevada have substantially similar provisions regarding indemnification by a corporation of its officers, directors, employees and agents. Delaware law and Nevada law differ in their provisions for advancement of expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding. Delaware law provides that expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any proceeding may be paid by the corporation 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 that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. A Delaware corporation has the discretion to decide whether or not to advance expenses, unless its certificate of incorporation or bylaws provides for mandatory advancement. The Delaware Certificate provides for such mandatory advancement. Under Nevada law, the articles of incorporation, bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the corporation must advance expenses prior to 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 that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Thus, a Nevada corporation may have no discretion to decide whether or not to advance expenses to directors or officers. While the Delaware Certificate provides for the mandatory advancement of expenses of directors and officers, neither the Nevada Articles nor the Nevada by-laws provide for the advancement of expenses. The Board of Directors of Driftwood-Delaware will be required to indemnify directors and officers. and will retain the discretionary authority to authorize the indemnification of employees and agents, subject to certain conditions under Delaware law.

Limitation on Personal Liability of Directors. A Delaware corporation is permitted to adopt provisions in its certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the liability of a director to a company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such liability does not arise from certain proscribed conduct, including breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or liability to the corporation based on unlawful dividends or distributions or improper personal benefit. The Delaware Certificate will limit the liability of directors to Driftwood-Delaware to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. While Nevada law has a similar provision permitting the adoption of provisions in the articles of incorporation limiting personal liability, the Nevada provision differs in two respects. First, the Nevada provision applies to both directors and officers. Second, while the Delaware provision does not allow limitation of liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty, the Nevada counterpart does not contain this exception. Thus, the Nevada provision expressly permits a corporation to limit the liability of officers, as well as directors, and permits limitation of liability arising from a breach of the duty of loyalty.

Dividends. Delaware law is more restrictive than Nevada law with respect to when dividends may be paid. Under Delaware law, unless further restricted in the certificate of incorporation, a corporation may declare and pay dividends out of surplus, or if no surplus exists, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year (provided that the amount of capital of the corporation is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets). In addition, Delaware law provides that a corporation may redeem or repurchase its shares only if the capital of the corporation is not impaired and such redemption or repurchase would not impair the capital of the corporation. Nevada law provides that no distribution (including dividends on, or redemption or repurchases of, shares of capital stock) may be made if, after giving effect to such distribution, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or, except as specifically permitted by the articles of incorporation, the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed at the time of a dissolution to satisfy the preferential rights of preferred stockholders.

Amendment to Certificate/Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. In general, both Delaware law and Nevada law require the approval of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares entitled to vote to approve proposed amendments to a corporation’s certificate/articles of incorporation. Both Delaware law and Nevada law also provide that in addition to the vote above, the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of a class of stock may be required to amend the certificate/articles of incorporation. Neither state requires stockholder approval for the Board of Directors of a corporation to fix the rights, powers and preferences of a class of stock, if the corporation’s organizational documents grant such power to its Board of Directors. Whereas the Nevada Articles do not grant this power to the Board of Directors of Driftwood-Nevada, the Delaware Certificate grants this power to the Board of Directors with respect to the preferred stock of Driftwood-Delaware. The Nevada Bylaws provide that they may be amended by the Board of Directors or by the vote of at least 51% of the capital stock of Driftwood-Nevada at any annual meeting or any special meeting called for that purpose. The Delaware Bylaws provide that they may be amended by the vote of the Board of Directors or a majority of the outstanding shares of Delaware Common Stock.

Stockholder Vote for Mergers and Other Corporation Reorganizations. In general, both Delaware law and Nevada law require authorization by an absolute majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote, as well as approval by the Board of Directors, with respect to the terms of a merger or a sale of substantially all of the assets of the corporation. Delaware law does not require a stockholder vote of the surviving corporation in a merger (unless the corporation provides otherwise in its certificate of incorporation) if:
 
 
·
the merger agreement does not amend the existing certificate of incorporation;

 
·
each share of stock of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately before the effective date of the merger is an identical outstanding share after the merger; and

 
·
either none or a limited number of shares of common stock of the surviving corporation are issued under the plan of merger.
 
12

 
Nevada law does not require a stockholder vote of the surviving corporation in a merger under substantially similar circumstances.

Defenses Against Hostile Takeovers. Section 203 of the DGCL contains certain “anti-takeover” provisions that apply to a Delaware corporation unless the corporation elects not to be governed by such provisions in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws. Section 203 prohibits a corporation from engaging in any “business combination” with any person that owns 15% or more of its outstanding voting stock for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder obtained ownership of more than 15% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation. A business combination includes any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of a corporation’s assets. The three-year waiting period does not apply, however, if any of the following conditions are met:
 
 
·
the Board of Directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in such stockholder owning more than 15% of such stock before the stockholder obtained such ownership;

 
·
after the transaction which resulted in the stockholder owning more than 15% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation is completed, such stockholder owns at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time that the transaction commenced; or

 
·
at or after the time the stockholder obtains more than 15% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders (and not by written consent) by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the acquiring stockholder.

In addition, Section 203 does not apply to any person who became the owner of more than 15% of a corporation’s stock if it was as a result of action taken solely by the corporation.
 
Nevada law contains certain “anti-takeover” provisions that apply to a Nevada corporation unless the corporation elects not to be governed by such provisions in its articles of incorporation or bylaws. Driftwood-Nevada did not elect to opt out of these provisions. Nevada law prohibits a corporation from engaging in any “business combination” with any person that owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of its outstanding voting stock for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder obtained ownership of more than 10% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation. A business combination includes any merger, consolidation, or sale of substantially all of a corporation’s assets. The three-year waiting period does not apply, however, if the Board of Directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in such stockholder owning more than 10% of such stock before the stockholder obtained such ownership.
 
Furthermore, a corporation may not engage in any business combination with an interested stockholder after the expiration of three years from the date that such stockholder obtained such ownership unless the combination meets all of the requirements of the corporation’s articles of incorporation, and:
 
 
·
is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of stock representing a majority of the outstanding voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder proposing the combination at a meeting called for that purpose no earlier than three years after the interested stockholder’s date of acquiring shares; or
     
 
·
the form and amount of consideration to be received by stockholders (excluding the interested stockholder) of the corporation satisfy certain tests and, with limited exceptions, the interested stockholder has not become the beneficial owner of additional voting shares of the corporation after becoming an interested stockholder and before the business combination is consummated.
 
In addition, Nevada law suspends the voting rights of the “control shares” of a stockholder that acquires 20% or more of a corporation’s shares that are entitled to be voted in an election of directors. The voting rights of these control shares generally remain suspended until such time as the “disinterested” stockholders of the Company vote to restore the voting power of the acquiring stockholder.
 
If full voting rights are accorded to the shares held by the acquiring person and the acquiring person has acquired shares amounting to or greater than a majority of all voting power, any stockholder of record, other than the acquiring person, who did not vote in favor of granting voting power to the shares held by the acquiring person may demand payment for the fair value of such stockholder’s shares. Within 10 days of the vote according the shares of the acquiring person voting rights, the corporation is required to send notice to any stockholders who did not vote in favor of such action notifying them of their right to demand payment for their shares. Within the time period set forth in the notice, which may be no less than 30 days nor more than 60 days, following the receipt of such notice, a stockholder seeking payment must demand payment for such stockholder’s shares. The corporation must then comply within 30 days.
 
13

 
Restriction of Maximum Number of Directors and Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors. Delaware law and Nevada law require that the Board of Directors of a corporation consist of one or more members and that the number of directors be set by the corporation’s bylaws, unless it is set by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. The Nevada Bylaws provide that the number of directors will be no less than one nor more than nine. The power to determine the number of directors within these numerical limitations and the power to fill any unoccupied seat or vacancies, is vested in the Board of Directors. The Delaware Bylaws provide that the number of directors will be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. The power to determine the number of directors within these numerical limitations and the power to fill vacancies, whether occurring by reason of an increase in the number of directors or by resignation or removal, is vested in the Board of Directors. The overall effect of such provisions may be to prevent a person or entity from quickly acquiring control of Driftwood-Delaware, for example, through an increase in the number of the directors and election of nominees to fill the newly created vacancies, and thus makes it more likely that existing management will continue in office.
 
Interested Director Transactions. Under Delaware law, contracts or transactions in which one or more of a corporation’s directors has an interest are not void or voidable because of such interest if certain conditions are met. To meet these conditions, either (i) the stockholders or the disinterested directors must approve any such contract or transaction after the full disclosure of material facts or (ii) the contract or transaction must have been fair as to the corporation at the time it was approved. Under Delaware law, if approval is sought by the board of directors, the contract or transactions must be approved by a majority of the disinterested directors (even though less than a quorum).
 
Nevada law does not automatically void contracts or transactions between a corporation and one of the corporation’s directors. Under Nevada law, a contract or transaction may not be voided solely because:
 
 
·
the contract is between the corporation and a director of the corporation or an entity in which a director of the corporation has a financial interest;
 
 
·
an interested director is present at the meeting of the board of directors that authorizes or approves the contract or transaction; or
 
 
·
the vote or votes of the interested director are counted for purposes of authorizing or approving the contract or transaction involving the interested transaction.
 
Contracts or transactions such as those described above are permissible if:
 
 
·
the facts surrounding the contract or transaction are known to the board of directors and the board of directors authorize, approve or ratify the contract or transaction in good faith by a vote without counting the vote of the interested director;
 
 
·
the facts or circumstances surrounding the contract or transaction are made known to the stockholders and they authorize, approve or ratify the contract or transaction in good faith by a majority vote of the shares entitled to vote, including the votes, if any, of the interested director;
 
 
·
the fact that the contract or transaction will prove to be in the interested director’s financial interest is unknown to the interested director at the time it is brought before the board of directors; or
 
 
·
the contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation at the time it is authorized or approved.
 
 Appraisal Rights.
 
Under both Delaware and Nevada law, a dissenting stockholder of a corporation engaged in certain major corporate transactions may, under certain limited circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights. Appraisal rights permit a stockholder to receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of his or her shares (as determined by agreement of the parties or a court), in lieu of the consideration that he or she would otherwise receive in any such transaction.
 
Under Delaware law, unless the certificate of incorporation of a corporation provides otherwise, appraisal rights are only available with respect to a merger or consolidation of a corporation under certain limited circumstances. No appraisal rights are provided in the case of a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the corporation’s assets or an amendment to the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Moreover, Delaware law does not provide appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, to the owners of shares of a corporation that, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the merger or consolidation, is either:
 
 
·
listed on a national securities exchange; or
 
14

 
 
·
held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders;
 
unless the applicable agreement of merger or consolidation requires the owners of these shares to receive, in exchange for these shares, anything other than shares of stock of the resulting or surviving corporation or shares of stock of any other corporation listed on a national securities exchange, designated as described above, or held of record by more than 2,000 holders.
 
In addition, Delaware law denies appraisal rights to the stockholders of the surviving corporation in a merger if that merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation. Under Delaware law, no vote of the stockholders of a surviving corporation is required if the number of shares to be issued in the merger does not exceed 20% of the shares of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately prior to the merger and certain other conditions are met.
 
Nevada law provides that stockholders of a corporation are entitled to dissent from and obtain payment of the fair market value of his or her shares in the event of the following corporate actions, including:
 
 
·
consummation of a plan of merger to which the Nevada corporation is a party (i) if approval by the stockholder is required for the merger and he or she is entitled to vote on the merger or (ii) in certain circumstances, if the domestic corporation is a subsidiary and is merged with its parent;
 
 
·
consummation of a plan of exchange to which the domestic corporation is a party as the corporation whose subject owner’s interest will be acquired, if he or she is entitled to vote on the plan; or

 
·
any corporate action taken pursuant to a vote of the stockholders to the extent that the articles of incorporation, bylaws or a resolution of the Board of Directors provide that voting or nonvoting stockholders are entitled to dissent and obtain payment for such stockholder’s shares.
 
Under Nevada law, appraisal rights are not provided, however, to the holders of shares of any class that is either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders unless the articles of incorporation of the corporation provide otherwise or if the stockholder will receive for the stockholder’s shares anything except:
 
 
·
shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger;
 
 
·
shares of stock of any other corporation listed on a national securities exchange or on the national market system of the National Association of Securities Dealers automated quotation system, or which will, upon completion of the merger, be held by record by more than 2,000 holders;
 
 
·
cash in lieu of fractional shares; or
 
 
·
any combination of shares or cash in lieu of fractional shares.
 
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation.
 
The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation that are applicable to you as a Company stockholder. It is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable Treasury regulations, judicial authority, and administrative rulings and practice, all as of the date of this Information Statement and all of which are subject to change, including changes with retroactive effect. The discussion below does not address any state, local or foreign tax consequences of the Reincorporation. Your tax treatment may vary depending upon your particular situation. You also may be subject to special rules not discussed below if you are a certain kind of Company stockholder, including, but not limited to: an insurance company; a tax-exempt organization; a financial institution or broker-dealer; a person who is neither a citizen nor resident of the United States or entity that is not organized under the laws of the United States or political subdivision thereof; a holder of Company shares as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion transaction; a person that does not hold Company shares as a capital asset at the time of the Reincorporation; or an entity taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
The Company will not request an advance ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation or any related transaction. The Internal Revenue Service could adopt positions contrary to those discussed below and such positions could be sustained. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisors and financial planners as to the particular tax consequences of the Reincorporation to you, including the applicability and effect of any state, local or foreign laws, and the effect of possible changes in applicable tax laws.

It is expected that the Reincorporation will have the following U.S. federal income tax consequences:

 
·
no gain or loss will be recognized by Driftwood-Nevada, Driftwood-Delaware or the stockholders of Driftwood-Nevada who receive Delaware Common Stock in exchange for their Nevada Common Stock in connection with the Reincorporation;
 
15

 
 
·
the aggregate adjusted tax basis of Delaware Common Stock received by a stockholder of Driftwood-Nevada as a result of the Reincorporation will be the same as the stockholder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis in the shares of Nevada Common Stock converted into such Delaware Common Stock; and

 
·
a stockholder who receives Delaware Common Stock pursuant to the Reincorporation will include in is holding the holding period of his Nevada Common Stock. State, local or foreign income tax consequences to stockholders may vary from the federal income tax consequences described above.
 
YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE REINCORPORATION UNDER ALL APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.

ACTION 2
2007 EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR AND CONSULTANT STOCK PLAN

On November 19, 2007 the Board of Directors approved, and on November 19, 2007 the stockholders approved, the 2007 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”). Under the 2007 Plan, employees, directors and consultants of the Company (the “Eligible Participants”) may be issued stock awards as compensation for their services to the Company. The 2007 Plan authorizes and entitles the Company to issue to Eligible Participants awards to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2007 Plan will continue in effect until November 19, 2017. No awards will be issued pursuant to the 2007 Plan until the Company has reincorporated in Delaware, as set forth in Action 1 above.
 
Our 2007 Plan provides that no participant may receive awards for more than 250,000 shares of Common Stock in any fiscal year. Shares of Common Stock reserved for awards under the 2007 Plan that are forfeited or are canceled will be added back to the share reserve available for future awards. However, shares of Common Stock tendered in payment for an award or shares of Common Stock withheld for taxes will not be available again for grant.  

Our Board and management all believe that the effective use of stock-based long-term incentive compensation is vital to our ability to achieve strong performance in the future. The 2007 Plan will maintain and enhance the key policies and practices adopted by our management and Board of Directors to align employee and shareholder interests. In addition, our future success depends, in large part, upon our ability to maintain a competitive position in attracting, retaining and motivating key personnel. We believe that the 2007 Plan is essential to permit our management to continue to provide long-term, equity-based incentives to present and future key employees, consultants and directors and to give us the flexibility we need to make various types of awards in light of the recent changes in tax and accounting rules relating to equity-based compensation.

The 2007 Plan is required to be approved by our stockholders in order to ensure (i) favorable federal income tax treatment for grants of incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and (ii) continued eligibility to receive a federal income tax deduction for the compensation to be received by our named executive officers upon the exercise of stock options to be issued under the 2007 Plan by complying with Rule 162(m) of the Code.
 
The following is a brief summary of the 2007 Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2007 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit E to this Information Statement.
 
Material Features of our 2007 Plan 
 
The 2007 Plan will allow us, under the direction of the Board of Directors and any committee to which the Board of Directors delegates its authority, to make grants of stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock awards and other stock-based awards to employees, consultants and directors (approximately 8 people) who, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, are in a position to make a significant contribution to our long-term success. The purpose of these awards is to attract and retain key individuals, further align employee and shareholder interests, and to closely link compensation with Company performance. The 2007 Plan will provide an essential component of the total compensation package, reflecting the importance that we place on aligning the interests of key individuals with those of our shareholders.
 
Stock Options. Stock options granted under the 2007 Plan may either be incentive stock options, which are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, or non-qualified stock options, which are not intended to meet those requirements. The exercise price of a stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. If an incentive stock option is granted to an individual who owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant and the term of the option may not be longer than five years.
 
Award agreements for stock options include rules for exercise of the stock options after termination of service. Options may not be exercised unless they are vested, and no option may be exercised after the end of the term set forth in the award agreement. Generally, stock options will be exercisable for three months after termination of service for any reason other than death or total and permanent disability, and for 12 months after termination of service on account of death or total and permanent disability.
 
Restricted Stock. Restricted stock is common stock that is subject to restrictions, including a prohibition against transfer and a substantial risk of forfeiture, until the end of a “restricted period” during which the grantee must satisfy certain vesting conditions. If the grantee does not satisfy the vesting conditions by the end of the restricted period, the restricted stock is forfeited.
 
17

 
During the restricted period, the holder of restricted stock has the rights and privileges of a regular shareholder, except that the restrictions set forth in the applicable award agreement apply. For example, the holder of restricted stock may vote and receive dividends on the restricted shares; but he or she may not sell the shares until the restrictions are lifted.
 
Other Stock-Based Awards. The 2007 Plan also authorizes the grant of other types of stock-based compensation including, but not limited to stock appreciation rights, phantom stock awards, and restricted stock unit awards.
 
2007 Plan Administration. In accordance with the terms of our 2007 Plan, our Board of Directors will administer the 2007 Plan. The Board of Directors may delegate part of its authority and powers under our 2007 Plan to a committee of the Board, but only the Board of Directors (or a sub-committee thereof) may make awards to participants who are directors or executive officers of Driftwood or consultants to Driftwood. In accordance with the provisions of the 2007 Plan, the Board of Directors, or its designee, will determine the terms of awards, including:
 
 
·
which employees, directors and consultants will be granted awards;
     
 
·
the number of shares subject to each award;
     
 
·
the vesting provisions of each award;
     
 
·
the termination or cancellation provisions applicable to awards; and
     
 
·
all other terms and conditions upon which each award may be granted in accordance with the 2007 Plan.

In addition, our Board of Directors may, in its discretion, amend any term or condition of an outstanding award provided (i) such term or condition as amended is permitted by our 2007 Plan, (ii) any such amendment shall be made only with the consent of the participant to whom such award was made, if the amendment is adverse to the participant and (iii) any such amendment of any option shall be made only after a determination as to whether such amendment would cause any adverse tax consequences for the holder of any option including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

If our common stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if we issue any shares of common stock as a stock dividend, the number of shares of our common stock deliverable upon exercise of an option issued or upon issuance of an award shall be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or stock dividend.

Upon a merger or other reorganization event, our Board of Directors, may, in their sole discretion, take any one or more of the following actions pursuant to our 2007 Plan, as to some or all outstanding awards:

 
·
provide that all outstanding options shall be assumed or substituted by the successor corporation;
     
 
·
upon written notice to a participant provide that the participant's unexercised options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction unless exercised by the participant;
     
 
·
in the event of a merger pursuant to which holders of our common stock will receive a cash payment for each share surrendered in the merger, make or provide for a cash payment to the participants equal to the difference between the merger price times the number of shares of our common stock subject to such outstanding options, and the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding options, in exchange for the termination of such options; and/or
     
 
·
provide that outstanding awards shall be assumed or substituted by the successor corporation, become realizable or deliverable, or restrictions applicable to an award will lapse, in whole or in part, prior to or upon the merger or reorganization event.
 
Our 2007 Plan may be amended by our shareholders. It may also be amended by our Board of Directors, provided that any amendment approved by our Board of Directors which is of a scope that requires shareholder approval as required by stock market rules, in order to ensure favorable federal income tax treatment for any incentive stock options under Code Section 422, or for any other reason is subject to obtaining such shareholder approval. Our 2007 Plan expires on November 19, 2017.

Federal Income Tax Consequences 
 
The material federal income tax consequences of the issuance and exercise of stock options and other awards under the 2007 Plan, based on the current provisions of the Code and regulations, are as follows. Changes to these laws could alter the tax consequences described below. This summary assumes that all awards granted under the 2007 Plan are exempt from or comply with, the rules under Section 409A of the Code related to nonqualified deferred compensation.
 
 
·
Incentive Stock Options: Incentive stock options are intended to qualify for treatment under Section 422 of the Code. An incentive stock option does not result in taxable income to the optionee or deduction to us at the time it is granted or exercised, provided that no disposition is made by the optionee of the shares acquired pursuant to the option within two years after the date of grant of the option nor within one year after the date of issuance of shares to the optionee (referred to as the "ISO holding period"). However, the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and the option price will be an item of tax preference includible in "alternative minimum taxable income" of the optionee. Upon disposition of the shares after the expiration of the ISO holding period, the optionee will generally recognize long term capital gain or loss based on the difference between the disposition proceeds and the option price paid for the shares. If the shares are disposed of prior to the expiration of the ISO holding period, the optionee generally will recognize taxable compensation, and we will have a corresponding deduction, in the year of the disposition, equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of the option over the option price. Any additional gain realized on the disposition will normally constitute capital gain. If the amount realized upon such a disqualifying disposition is less than fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, the amount of compensation income will be limited to the excess of the amount realized over the optionee's adjusted basis in the shares.
 
 
·
Non-Qualified Options:  

 
·
Options otherwise qualifying as incentive stock options, to the extent the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which such options are first exercisable by an individual in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, and options designated as non-qualified options will be treated as options that are not incentive stock options.

 
·
A non-qualified option ordinarily will not result in income to the optionee or deduction to us at the time of grant. The optionee will recognize compensation income at the time of exercise of such non-qualified option in an amount equal to the excess of the then value of the shares over the option price per share. Such compensation income of optionees may be subject to withholding taxes, and a deduction may then be allowable to us in an amount equal to the optionee's compensation income.

 
·
An optionee’s initial basis in shares so acquired will be the amount paid on exercise of the non-qualified option plus the amount of any corresponding compensation income. Any gain or loss as a result of a subsequent disposition of the shares so acquired will be capital gain or loss.
 
 
·
Stock Grants:  
 
 
·
With respect to stock grants under our 2007 Plan that result in the issuance of shares that are either not restricted as to transferability or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the grantee must generally recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of shares received. Thus, deferral of the time of issuance will generally result in the deferral of the time the grantee will be liable for income taxes with respect to such issuance. We generally will be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the grantee.

 
·
With respect to stock grants involving the issuance of shares that are restricted as to transferability and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the grantee must generally recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares received at the first time the shares become transferable or are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, whichever occurs earlier. A grantee may elect to be taxed at the time of receipt of shares rather than upon lapse of restrictions on transferability or substantial risk of forfeiture, but if the grantee subsequently forfeits such shares, the grantee would not be entitled to any tax deduction, including as a capital loss, for the value of the shares on which he previously paid tax. The grantee must file such election with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the receipt of the shares. We generally will be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the grantee.
 
 
·
Stock Units:

 
·
The grantee recognizes no income until the issuance of the shares. At that time, the grantee must generally recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares received. We generally will be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the grantee.
 
19

 
New Plan Benefits

The amounts of future grants under the 2007 Plan are not determinable as awards under the 2007 Plan and will be granted at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, or other delegated persons and we cannot determine at this time either the persons who will receive awards under the 2007 Plan or the amount or types of any such awards and no such awards have been granted to date.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

DRIFTWOOD VENTURES, INC.

The undersigned, for the purpose of organizing a corporation under the provisions and subject to the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), hereby certifies that:

FIRST: The name of the corporation is Driftwood Ventures, Inc. (the “Corporation”).

SECOND: The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 615 South DuPont Highway, Dover, Delaware 19901, Kent County. The name of its registered agent at such address is National Corporate Research, Ltd.

THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the DGCL.

FOURTH:

A. The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is Eighty Million (80,000,000), consisting of:

(i) 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and
 
(ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

The number of authorized shares of any such class or classes or series may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, without a vote of the holders of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock (or of any series thereof), voting as a separate class, unless a vote of any such holders is specifically required herein pursuant to the terms of any Preferred Stock.

B. Common Stock.

1. General. The voting, dividend and liquidation and other rights of the holders of the Common Stock are expressly made subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock.

2. Voting Rights. The holders of record of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by the Corporation's stockholders.

3. Dividends. Dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock from funds lawfully available therefor if, as and when determined by the Board of Directors in their sole discretion, subject to provisions of law, any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, and subject to the relative rights and preferences of any shares of Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding hereunder.

4. Liquidation. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of record of the Common Stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, subject, however, to the liquidation rights of the holders of Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding hereunder.

C. Preferred Stock. Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors from time to time to designate and issue Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in connection with the creation of any such series, by resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of the shares thereof, to determine and fix such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall be stated and expressed in such resolutions, all to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolutions providing for the designation and issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to Preferred Stock of any other series to the extent permitted by law. No vote of the holders of Preferred Stock or the Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock authorized by and complying with the conditions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the right to have such vote being expressly waived by all present and future holders of the capital stock of the Corporation.

SEVENTH: For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and in further definition and not in limitation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, conferred by the State of Delaware, it is further provided that:

A. The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation shall be vested in its Board of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the Bylaws. The phrase “whole Board” and the phrase “total number of directors” shall be deemed to have the same meaning, to wit, the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies. No election of directors need be by written ballot.

B. After the original or other Bylaws of the Corporation have been adopted, amended or repealed, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of Section 109 of the DGCL, and, after the Corporation has received any payment for any of its stock, the power to adopt, amend, or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation may be exercised by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

C. The books of the Corporation may be kept at such place within or without the State of Delaware as the Bylaws of the Corporation may provide or as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

EIGHTH: The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time, indemnify and advance expenses to, (i) its directors and officers, and (ii) any person who at the request of the Corporation is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities, or other matters referred to in or covered by said section as amended or supplemented (or any successor), provided, however, that except with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Bylaws of the Corporation may provide that the Corporation shall indemnify any director, officer or such person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such director, officer or such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Corporation, by action of its Board of Directors, may provide indemnification or advance expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation or other persons only on such terms and conditions and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion. The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

NINTH: No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that this provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of the director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any trans-action from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. For purposes of the prior sentence, the term “damages” shall, to the extent permitted by law, include without limitation, any judgment, fine, amount paid in settlement, penalty, punitive damages, excise or other tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or expense of any nature (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements). Each person who serves as a director of the Corporation while this Article NINTH is in effect shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance on the provisions of this Article NINTH, and neither the amendment or repeal of this Article NINTH, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article NINTH, shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for, arising out of, based upon, or in connection with any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, or adoption of an inconsistent provision. The provisions of this Article NINTH are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of any and all other limitations on or eliminations of the liabilities of directors of the Corporation, as such, whether such limitations or eliminations arise under or are created by any law, rule, regulation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

TENTH: From time to time any of the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation may be amended, altered or repealed, and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted in the manner and at the time prescribed by said laws, and all rights at any time conferred upon the stockholders of the Corporation by this Certificate of Incorporation are granted subject to the provisions of this Article TENTH.

2.8 Voting.
 
Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate or these Bylaws, at each meeting of Stockholders, each Stockholder shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of Common Stock held by him and registered in his name on the books of the Corporation on the date fixed pursuant to Section 6.7 of Article VI of the Bylaws as the record date for the determination of Stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting. Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the shares so held. A person whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless, in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation, he has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee or his proxy may represent such stock and vote thereon. If shares or other securities having voting power stand in the record of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the secretary shall be given written notice to the contrary and furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect:
 
(a) if only one votes, his act binds all;
 
(b) if more than one votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; and
 
(c) if more than one votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, such shares shall be voted in the manner provided by law.
 
If the instrument so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purposes of this Section 2.8 shall be a majority or even-split in interest. The Corporation shall not vote directly or indirectly any share of its own capital stock. Any vote of stock may be given by the Stockholder entitled thereto in person or by his proxy appointed by an instrument in writing, subscribed by such Stockholder or by his attorney thereunto authorized, delivered to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy shall be voted after three years from its date, unless said proxy provides for a longer period. At all meetings of the Stockholders, all matters (except where other provision is made by law, the Certificate or these Bylaws) shall be decided by the vote of a majority in interest of the Stockholders present in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereon, a quorum being present. Unless demanded by a Stockholder present in person or by proxy at any meeting and entitled to vote thereon, the vote on any question need not be by ballot. Upon a demand by any such Stockholder for a vote by ballot upon any question, such vote by ballot shall be taken. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the Stockholder voting, or by his proxy, if there be such proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted.

2.9 Inspection.
 
The chairman of the meeting may at any time appoint one or more inspectors to serve at any meeting of the Stockholders. Any inspector may be removed, and a new inspector or inspectors appointed, by the Board at any time. Such inspectors shall decide upon the qualifications of voters, accept and count votes, declare the results of such vote, and subscribe and deliver to the secretary of the meeting a certificate stating the number of shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereon and the number of shares voted for and against the question, respectively. The inspectors need not be stockholders of the Corporation, and any director or officer of the Corporation may be an inspector on any question other than a vote for or against his election to any position with the Corporation or on any other matter in which he may be directly interested. Before acting as herein provided, each inspector shall subscribe an oath faithfully to execute the duties of an inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.

Such list shall be open to the examination of any Stockholder, for any purpose germane to any such meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to such meeting, either at a place within the city where such meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.

If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to notice of or 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. A determination of Stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
 
(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the Stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which date shall be not more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. If no record date has been fixed by the Board, the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is required by the DGCL, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, 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 the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board and prior action by the Board is required by the DGCL, the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
 
(c) In order that the Corporation may determine the Stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the Stockholders 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 Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action.

ARTICLE VII
 
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
 
7.1 Indemnification.
 
(a) As provided in the Certificate, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its Stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
 
C-10

 
(b) Without limitation of any right conferred by paragraph (a) of this Section 7.1, each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer or employee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer or employee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, testators, intestates, executors and administrators; provided, however, that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided further, however, that no indemnification shall be made in the case of an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such director, officer, employee or agent is liable to the Corporation, unless a court having jurisdiction shall determine that, despite such adjudication, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification; provided further, however, that, except as provided in Section 7.1(c) of this Article VII with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee was authorized by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VII shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an "advancement of expenses"); provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an "undertaking"), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a "final adjudication") that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise.
 
(c) If a claim under Section 7.1(b) of this Article VII is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of any undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board, independent legal counsel, or the Stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board, independent legal counsel or the Stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
 
C-11

 
(d) The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Certificate, agreement, vote of Stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
 
7.2 Insurance.
 
The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employer or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.
 
ARTICLE VIII
 
8.1 Seal.

The Board may provide a corporate seal, which shall be in the form of a circle and shall bear the full name of the Corporation, the year of incorporation of the Corporation and the words and figures "Corporate Seal - Delaware.”
 
8.2 Fiscal Year.

The fiscal year end of the Corporation shall be December 31 unless otherwise determined by the Board.
 
8.3 Amendment.

Any bylaw (including these Bylaws) may be adopted, amended or repealed by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote or by the Stockholders' written consent pursuant to Section 2.11 of Article II, or by the vote of the Board or by the directors' written consent pursuant to Section 3.6 of Article III.

(b) If the corporation’s principal office is not located in this State, in Carson City; or
 
(c) At the election of any dissenter residing or having its principal office in this State, of the county where the dissenter resides or has its principal office. The court shall dispose of the complaint promptly.

2. To the extent the subject corporation elects to withhold payment, after taking the proposed action, it shall estimate the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest, and shall offer to pay this amount to each dissenter who agrees to accept it in full satisfaction of his demand.

1. A dissenter may notify the subject corporation in writing of his own estimate of the fair value of his shares and the amount of interest due, and demand payment of his estimate, less any payment pursuant to NRS 92A.460, or reject the offer pursuant to NRS 92A.470 and demand payment of the fair value of his shares and interest due, if he believes that the amount paid pursuant to NRS 92A.460 or offered pursuant to NRS 92A.470 is less than the fair value of his shares or that the interest due is incorrectly calculated.
 
2. A dissenter waives his right to demand payment pursuant to this section unless he notifies the subject corporation of his demand in writing within 30 days after the subject corporation made or offered payment for his shares.
 
(Added to NRS by 1995, 2091)

If the subject corporation does not commence the proceeding within the 60-day period, it shall pay each dissenter whose demand remains unsettled the amount demanded.
 
2. A subject corporation shall commence the proceeding in the district court of the county where its principal office is located. If the principal office of the subject corporation is not located in the State, it shall commence the proceeding in the county where the principal office of the domestic corporation merged with or whose shares were acquired by the foreign entity was located. If the principal office of the subject corporation and the domestic corporation merged with or whose shares were acquired is not located in this State, the subject corporation shall commence the proceeding in the district court in Carson City.
 
3. The subject corporation shall make all dissenters, whether or not residents of Nevada, whose demands remain unsettled, parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares.

4. The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection 2 is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value.

(a) For the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of his shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the subject corporation; or
 
(b) For the fair value, plus accrued interest, of his after-acquired shares for which the subject corporation elected to withhold payment pursuant to NRS 92A.470.

 
1. The court in a proceeding to determine fair value shall determine all of the costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of any appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the subject corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the dissenters, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith in demanding payment.
 
2. The court may also assess the fees and expenses of the counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:
 
(a) Against the subject corporation and in favor of all dissenters if the court finds the subject corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive; or
 
(b) Against either the subject corporation or a dissenter in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive.
 
3. If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the subject corporation, the court may award to those counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded to the dissenters who were benefited.
 
4. In a proceeding commenced pursuant to NRS 92A.460, the court may assess the costs against the subject corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the dissenters who are parties to the proceeding, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds that such parties did not act in good faith in instituting the proceeding.
 
5. This section does not preclude any party in a proceeding commenced pursuant to NRS 92A.460 or 92A.490 from applying the provisions of N.R.C.P. 68 or NRS 17.115.

2. PURPOSES OF THE PLAN.

The Plan is intended to encourage ownership of Shares by Employees and directors of and certain consultants to the Company and its Affiliates in order to attract and retain such people, to induce them to work for the benefit of the Company or of an Affiliate and to provide additional incentive for them to promote the success of the Company or of an Affiliate. The Plan provides for the granting of ISOs, Non-Qualified Options, Stock Grants and Stock-Based Awards.

3.
SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

(a) The number of Shares which may be issued from time to time pursuant to this Plan shall be one million (1,000,000) shares, or the equivalent of such number of Shares after the Administrator, in its sole discretion, has interpreted the effect of any future stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction in accordance with Paragraph 24 of the Plan.

(b) If an Option ceases to be “outstanding”, in whole or in part (other than by exercise), or if the Company shall reacquire (at not more than its original issuance price) any Shares issued pursuant to a Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award, or if any Stock Right expires or is forfeited, cancelled, or otherwise terminated or results in any Shares not being issued, the unissued Shares which were subject to such Stock Right shall again be available for issuance from time to time pursuant to this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Stock Right is exercised, in whole or in part, by tender of Shares or if the Company’s tax withholding obligation is satisfied by withholding Shares, the number of Shares deemed to have been issued under the Plan for purposes of the limitation set forth in Paragraph 3(a) above shall be the number of Shares that were subject to the Stock Right or portion thereof, and not the net number of Shares actually issued.
 
E-3


4.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

The Administrator of the Plan will be the Board of Directors, except to the extent the Board of Directors delegates its authority to the Committee, in which case the Committee shall be the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator is authorized to:

 
a.
Interpret the provisions of the Plan and all Stock Rights and to make all rules and determinations which it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan;

 
b.
Determine which Employees, directors and consultants shall be granted Stock Rights;

 
c.
Determine the number of Shares for which a Stock Right or Stock Rights shall be granted, provided, however, that in no event shall Stock Rights with respect to more than 250,000 Shares be granted to any Participant in any fiscal year;

 
d.
Specify the terms and conditions upon which a Stock Right or Stock Rights may be granted;

 
e.
Make changes to any outstanding Stock Right, including, without limitation, to reduce or increase the exercise price or purchase price, accelerate the vesting schedule or extend the expiration date, provided that no such change shall impair the rights of a Participant under any grant previously made without such Participant’s consent;

 
f.
Buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, a Stock Right previously granted and/or cancel any such Stock Right and grant in substitution therefor other Stock Rights, covering the same or a different number of Shares and having an exercise price or purchase price per share which may be lower or higher than the exercise price or purchase price of the cancelled Stock Right, based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and the Participant shall accept; and

 
g.
Adopt any sub-plans applicable to residents of any specified jurisdiction as it deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with or take advantage of any tax or other laws applicable to the Company or to Plan Participants or to otherwise facilitate the administration of the Plan, which sub-plans may include additional restrictions or conditions applicable to Stock Rights or Shares issuable pursuant to a Stock Right;
 
E-4

 
provided, however, that all such interpretations, rules, determinations, terms and conditions shall be made and prescribed in the context of not causing any adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code and preserving the tax status under Section 422 of the Code of those Options which are designated as ISOs. Subject to the foregoing, the interpretation and construction by the Administrator of any provisions of the Plan or of any Stock Right granted under it shall be final, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, if the Administrator is the Committee. In addition, if the Administrator is the Committee, the Board of Directors may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee.

To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Board of Directors or the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any other person selected by it. The Board of Directors or the Committee may revoke any such allocation or delegation at any time.

5. ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION.

The Administrator will, in its sole discretion, name the Participants in the Plan, provided, however, that each Participant must be an Employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate at the time a Stock Right is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may authorize the grant of a Stock Right to a person not then an Employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate; provided, however, that the actual grant of such Stock Right shall be conditioned upon such person becoming eligible to become a Participant at or prior to the time of the execution of the Agreement evidencing such Stock Right. ISOs may be granted only to Employees. Non-Qualified Options, Stock Grants and Stock-Based Awards may be granted to any Employee, director or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate. The granting of any Stock Right to any individual shall neither entitle that individual to, nor disqualify him or her from, participation in any other grant of Stock Rights.

6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

Each Option shall be set forth in writing in an Option Agreement, duly executed by the Company and, to the extent required by law or requested by the Company, by the Participant. The Administrator may provide that Options be granted subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the terms and conditions specifically required under this Plan, as the Administrator may deem appropriate including, without limitation, subsequent approval by the shareholders of the Company of this Plan or any amendments thereto. The Option Agreements shall be subject to at least the following terms and conditions:

 
a.
Non-Qualified Options: Each Option intended to be a Non-Qualified Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions which the Administrator determines to be appropriate and in the best interest of the Company, subject to the following minimum standards for any such Non-Qualified Option:

iv.
Option Conditions: Exercise of any Option may be conditioned upon the Participant’s execution of a Share purchase agreement in form satisfactory to the Administrator providing for certain protections for the Company and its other shareholders, including requirements that:

     
A.
The Participant’s or the Participant’s Survivors’ right to sell or transfer the Shares may be restricted; and

     
B.
The Participant or the Participant’s Survivors may be required to execute letters of investment intent and must also acknowledge that the Shares will bear legends noting any applicable restrictions.

 
b.
ISOs: Each Option intended to be an ISO shall be issued only to an Employee and be subject to the following terms and conditions, with such additional restrictions or changes as the Administrator determines are appropriate but not in conflict with Section 422 of the Code and relevant regulations and rulings of the Internal Revenue Service:

   
i.
Minimum standards: The ISO shall meet the minimum standards required of Non-Qualified Options, as described in Paragraph 6(a) above, except clause (i) thereunder.

A.
10% or less of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, the Option price per share of the Shares covered by each ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Shares on the date of the grant of the Option; or
 
E-6

 
     
B.
More than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, the Option price per share of the Shares covered by each ISO shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

   
iii.
Term of Option: For Participants who own:

     
A.
10% or less of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, each ISO shall terminate not more than ten years from the date of the grant or at such earlier time as the Option Agreement may provide; or

     
B.
More than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, each ISO shall terminate not more than five years from the date of the grant or at such earlier time as the Option Agreement may provide.

   
iv.
Limitation on Yearly Exercise: The Option Agreements shall restrict the amount of ISOs which may become exercisable in any calendar year (under this or any other ISO plan of the Company or an Affiliate) so that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time each ISO is granted) of the stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by the Participant in any calendar year does not exceed $100,000.
 
7.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK GRANTS.

Each offer of a Stock Grant to a Participant shall state the date prior to which the Stock Grant must be accepted by the Participant, and the principal terms of each Stock Grant shall be set forth in an Agreement, duly executed by the Company and, to the extent required by law or requested by the Company, by the Participant. The Agreement shall be in a form approved by the Administrator and shall contain terms and conditions which the Administrator determines to be appropriate and in the best interest of the Company, subject to the following minimum standards:

 
(a)
Each Agreement shall state the purchase price (per share), if any, of the Shares covered by each Stock Grant, which purchase price shall be determined by the Administrator but shall not be less than the minimum consideration required by the Delaware General Corporation Law on the date of the grant of the Stock Grant;

 
(b)
Each Agreement shall state the number of Shares to which the Stock Grant pertains; and
 
E-7

 
 
(c)
Each Agreement shall include the terms of any right of the Company to restrict or reacquire the Shares subject to the Stock Grant, including the time and events upon which such rights shall accrue and the purchase price therefor, if any.
 
8.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS.

The Administrator shall have the right to grant other Stock-Based Awards based upon the Common Stock having such terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine, including, without limitation, the grant of Shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of securities convertible into Shares and the grant of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock awards or stock units. The principal terms of each Stock-Based Award shall be set forth in an Agreement, duly executed by the Company and, to the extent required by law or requested by the Company, by the Participant. The Agreement shall be in a form approved by the Administrator and shall contain terms and conditions which the Administrator determines to be appropriate and in the best interest of the Company.

The Company intends that the Plan and any Stock-Based Awards granted hereunder be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code or meet the requirements of paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) of subsection (a) of Section 409A of the Code (and any successor provisions of the Code) and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder (the “Requirements”), to the extent applicable, and be operated in accordance with such Requirements so that any compensation deferred under any Stock-Based Award (and applicable investment earnings) shall not be included in income under Section 409A of the Code. Any ambiguities in the Plan shall be construed to effect the intent as described in this Paragraph 8.
 
9. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND ISSUE OF SHARES.

An Option (or any part or installment thereof) shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company or its designee, together with provision for payment of the full purchase price in accordance with this Paragraph for the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, and upon compliance with any other condition(s) set forth in the Option Agreement. Such notice shall be signed by the person exercising the Option, shall state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall contain any representation required by the Plan or the Option Agreement. Payment of the purchase price for the Shares as to which such Option is being exercised shall be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check, or (b) at the discretion of the Administrator, through delivery of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal as of the date of the exercise to the cash exercise price of the Option and held for at least six months, or (c) at the discretion of the Administrator, by having the Company retain from the shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, a number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal as of the date of exercise to the exercise price of the Option, or (d) at the discretion of the Administrator, by delivery of the grantee’s personal recourse note bearing interest payable not less than annually at no less than 100% of the applicable Federal rate, as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code, or (e) at the discretion of the Administrator, in accordance with a cashless exercise program established with a securities brokerage firm, and approved by the Administrator, or (f) at the discretion of the Administrator, by any combination of (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above or (g) at the discretion of the Administrator, payment of such other lawful consideration as the Administrator may determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall accept only such payment on exercise of an ISO as is permitted by Section 422 of the Code.
 
E-8

 
The Company shall then reasonably promptly deliver the Shares as to which such Option was exercised to the Participant (or to the Participant’s Survivors, as the case may be). In determining what constitutes “reasonably promptly,” it is expressly understood that the issuance and delivery of the Shares may be delayed by the Company in order to comply with any law or regulation (including, without limitation, state securities or “blue sky” laws) which requires the Company to take any action with respect to the Shares prior to their issuance. The Shares shall, upon delivery, be fully paid, non-assessable Shares.

The Administrator shall have the right to accelerate the date of exercise of any installment of any Option; provided that the Administrator shall not accelerate the exercise date of any installment of any Option granted to an Employee as an ISO (and not previously converted into a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to Paragraph 27) without the prior approval of the Employee if such acceleration would violate the annual vesting limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, as described in Paragraph 6(b)(iv).

The Administrator may, in its discretion, amend any term or condition of an outstanding Option provided (i) such term or condition as amended is permitted by the Plan, (ii) any such amendment shall be made only with the consent of the Participant to whom the Option was granted, or in the event of the death of the Participant, the Participant’s Survivors, if the amendment is adverse to the Participant, and (iii) any such amendment of any Option shall be made only after the Administrator determines whether such amendment would constitute a “modification” of any Option which is an ISO (as that term is defined in Section 424(h) of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax consequences for the holder of any Option including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

10.
ACCEPTANCE OF STOCK GRANTS AND STOCK-BASED AWARDS AND ISSUE OF SHARES.

A Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award (or any part or installment thereof) shall be accepted by executing the applicable Agreement and delivering it to the Company or its designee, together with provision for payment of the full purchase price, if any, in accordance with this Paragraph for the Shares as to which such Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award is being accepted, and upon compliance with any other conditions set forth in the applicable Agreement. Payment of the purchase price for the Shares as to which such Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award is being accepted shall be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check, or (b) at the discretion of the Administrator, through delivery of shares of Common Stock held for at least six months and having a Fair Market Value equal as of the date of acceptance of the Stock Grant or Stock Based-Award to the purchase price of the Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award, or (c) at the discretion of the Administrator, by delivery of the grantee’s personal recourse note bearing interest payable not less than annually at no less than 100% of the applicable Federal rate, as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code, or (d) at the discretion of the Administrator, by any combination of (a), (b) and (c) above; or (e) at the discretion of the Administrator, payment of such other lawful consideration as the Administrator may determine.
 
E-9

 
The Company shall then, if required by the applicable Agreement, reasonably promptly deliver the Shares as to which such Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award was accepted to the Participant (or to the Participant’s Survivors, as the case may be), subject to any escrow provision set forth in the applicable Agreement. In determining what constitutes “reasonably promptly,” it is expressly understood that the issuance and delivery of the Shares may be delayed by the Company in order to comply with any law or regulation (including, without limitation, state securities or “blue sky” laws) which requires the Company to take any action with respect to the Shares prior to their issuance.

The Administrator may, in its discretion, amend any term or condition of an outstanding Stock Grant, Stock-Based Award or applicable Agreement provided (i) such term or condition as amended is permitted by the Plan, (ii) any such amendment shall be made only with the consent of the Participant to whom the Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award was made, if the amendment is adverse to the Participant, and (iii) any such amendment shall be made only after the Administrator determines whether such amendment would cause any adverse tax consequences to the Participant, including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

11.
RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.

No Participant to whom a Stock Right has been granted shall have rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by such Stock Right, except after due exercise of the Option or acceptance of the Stock Grant or as set forth in any Agreement, and tender of the full purchase price, if any, for the Shares being purchased pursuant to such exercise or acceptance and registration of the Shares in the Company’s share register in the name of the Participant.

12.
ASSIGNABILITY AND TRANSFERABILITY OF STOCK RIGHTS.

By its terms, a Stock Right granted to a Participant shall not be transferable by the Participant other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) as approved by the Administrator in its discretion and set forth in the applicable Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an ISO transferred except in compliance with clause (i) above shall no longer qualify as an ISO. The designation of a beneficiary of a Stock Right by a Participant, with the prior approval of the Administrator and in such form as the Administrator shall prescribe, shall not be deemed a transfer prohibited by this Paragraph. Except as provided above, a Stock Right shall only be exercisable or may only be accepted, during the Participant’s lifetime, by such Participant (or by his or her legal representative) and shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of any Stock Right or of any rights granted thereunder contrary to the provisions of this Plan, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon a Stock Right, shall be null and void.
 
E-10


13.
EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE OR DEATH OR DISABILITY.

Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement, in the event of a termination of service (whether as an employee, director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate before the Participant has exercised an Option, the following rules apply:

 
a.
A Participant who ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate (for any reason other than termination for Cause, Disability, or death for which events there are special rules in Paragraphs 14, 15, and 16, respectively), may exercise any Option granted to him or her to the extent that the Option is exercisable on the date of such termination of service, but only within such term as the Administrator has designated in a Participant’s Option Agreement.

 
b.
Except as provided in Subparagraph (c) below, or Paragraph 15 or 16, in no event may an Option intended to be an ISO, be exercised later than three months after the Participant’s termination of employment.

 
c.
The provisions of this Paragraph, and not the provisions of Paragraph 15 or 16, shall apply to a Participant who subsequently becomes Disabled or dies after the termination of employment, director status or consultancy; provided, however, in the case of a Participant’s Disability or death within three months after the termination of employment, director status or consultancy, the Participant or the Participant’s Survivors may exercise the Option within one year after the date of the Participant’s termination of service, but in no event after the date of expiration of the term of the Option.

 
d.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if subsequent to a Participant’s termination of employment, termination of director status or termination of consultancy, but prior to the exercise of an Option, the Board of Directors determines that, either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s termination, the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute Cause, then such Participant shall forthwith cease to have any right to exercise any Option.

 
e.
A Participant to whom an Option has been granted under the Plan who is absent from the Company or an Affiliate because of temporary disability (any disability other than a Disability as defined in Paragraph 1 hereof), or who is on leave of absence for any purpose, shall not, during the period of any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated such Participant’s employment, director status or consultancy with the Company or with an Affiliate, except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly provide; provided however that for ISOs any leave of absence granted by the Administrator of greater than ninety days unless pursuant to a contract or statute that guarantees the right to reemployment shall cause such ISO to become a Non-Qualified Option.
 
E-11

 
 
f.
Except as required by law or as set forth in a Participant’s Option Agreement, Options granted under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of a Participant’s status within or among the Company and any Affiliates, so long as the Participant continues to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate.
 
14.
EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR CAUSE.

Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement, the following rules apply if the Participant’s service (whether as an employee, director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated for Cause prior to the time that all his or her outstanding Options have been exercised:

 
a.
All outstanding and unexercised Options as of the time the Participant is notified his or her service is terminated for Cause will immediately be forfeited.

 
b.
Cause is not limited to events which have occurred prior to a Participant’s termination of service, nor is it necessary that the Administrator’s finding of Cause occur prior to termination. If the Administrator determines, subsequent to a Participant’s termination of service but prior to the exercise of an Option, that either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s termination the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute Cause, then the right to exercise any Option is forfeited.
 
15.
EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR DISABILITY.

Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement:

 
a.
A Participant who ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of Disability may exercise any Option granted to such Participant:

(i) To the extent that the Option has become exercisable but has not been exercised on the date of Disability; and

(ii) In the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically, to the extent of a pro rata portion through the date of Disability of any additional vesting rights that would have accrued on the next vesting date had the Participant not become Disabled. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued in the current vesting period prior to the date of Disability.
 
E-12

 
 
b.
A Disabled Participant may exercise such rights only within the period ending one year after the date of the Participant’s Disability, notwithstanding that the Participant might have been able to exercise the Option as to some or all of the Shares on a later date if the Participant had not become Disabled and had continued to be an employee, director or consultant or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option.

 
c.
The Administrator shall make the determination both of whether Disability has occurred and the date of its occurrence (unless a procedure for such determination is set forth in another agreement between the Company and such Participant, in which case such procedure shall be used for such determination). If requested, the Participant shall be examined by a physician selected or approved by the Administrator, the cost of which examination shall be paid for by the Company.
 
16.
EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF DEATH WHILE AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT.

Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement:

 
a.
In the event of the death of a Participant while the Participant is an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate, such Option may be exercised by the Participant’s Survivors:

(i)  To the extent that the Option has become exercisable but has not been exercised on the date of death; and

(ii) In the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically, to the extent of a pro rata portion through the date of death of any additional vesting rights that would have accrued on the next vesting date had the Participant not died. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued in the current vesting period prior to the Participant’s date of death.

 
b.
If the Participant’s Survivors wish to exercise the Option, they must take all necessary steps to exercise the Option within one year after the date of death of such Participant, notwithstanding that the decedent might have been able to exercise the Option as to some or all of the Shares on a later date if he or she had not died and had continued to be an employee, director or consultant or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option.
 
E-13

 
17.
EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE ON UNACCEPTED STOCK GRANTS.

In the event of a termination of service (whether as an employee, director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason before the Participant has accepted a Stock Grant, such offer shall terminate.
 
For purposes of this Paragraph 17 and Paragraph 18 below, a Participant to whom a Stock Grant has been offered and accepted under the Plan who is absent from work with the Company or with an Affiliate because of temporary disability (any disability other than a Disability as defined in Paragraph 1 hereof), or who is on leave of absence for any purpose, shall not, during the period of any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated such Participant’s employment, director status or consultancy with the Company or with an Affiliate, except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly provide.

In addition, for purposes of this Paragraph 17 and Paragraph 18 below, any change of employment or other service within or among the Company and any Affiliates shall not be treated as a termination of employment, director status or consultancy so long as the Participant continues to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate.
 
18.
EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE OR DEATH OR DISABILITY.

Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Stock Grant Agreement, in the event of a termination of service (whether as an employee, director or consultant), other than termination for Cause, Disability, or death for which events there are special rules in Paragraphs 19, 20, and 21, respectively, before all forfeiture provisions or Company rights of repurchase shall have lapsed, then the Company shall have the right to cancel or repurchase that number of Shares subject to a Stock Grant as to which the Company’s forfeiture or repurchase rights have not lapsed.

19.
EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR CAUSE.

Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Stock Grant Agreement, the following rules apply if the Participant’s service (whether as an employee, director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated for Cause:

 
a.
All Shares subject to any Stock Grant that remain subject to forfeiture provisions or as to which the Company shall have a repurchase right shall be immediately forfeited to the Company as of the time the Participant is notified his or her service is terminated for Cause.

 
b.
Cause is not limited to events which have occurred prior to a Participant’s termination of service, nor is it necessary that the Administrator’s finding of Cause occur prior to termination. If the Administrator determines, subsequent to a Participant’s termination of service, that either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s termination the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute Cause, then the Company’s right to repurchase all of such Participant’s Shares shall apply.

E-14


20.
EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR DISABILITY.

Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Stock Grant Agreement, the following rules apply if a Participant ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of Disability: to the extent the forfeiture provisions or the Company’s rights of repurchase have not lapsed on the date of Disability, they shall be exercisable; provided, however, that in the event such forfeiture provisions or rights of repurchase lapse periodically, such provisions or rights shall lapse to the extent of a pro rata portion of the Shares subject to such Stock Grant through the date of Disability as would have lapsed had the Participant not become Disabled. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued prior to the date of Disability.

The Administrator shall make the determination both of whether Disability has occurred and the date of its occurrence (unless a procedure for such determination is set forth in another agreement between the Company and such Participant, in which case such procedure shall be used for such determination). If requested, the Participant shall be examined by a physician selected or approved by the Administrator, the cost of which examination shall be paid for by the Company.
 
21.
EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS OF DEATH WHILE AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT.

Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Stock Grant Agreement, the following rules apply in the event of the death of a Participant while the Participant is an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate: to the extent the forfeiture provisions or the Company’s rights of repurchase have not lapsed on the date of death, they shall be exercisable; provided, however, that in the event such forfeiture provisions or rights of repurchase lapse periodically, such provisions or rights shall lapse to the extent of a pro rata portion of the Shares subject to such Stock Grant through the date of death as would have lapsed had the Participant not died. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued prior to the Participant’s death.

E-15


22. PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT.

Unless the offering and sale of the Shares to be issued upon the particular exercise or acceptance of a Stock Right shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or hereafter amended (the “1933 Act”), the Company shall be under no obligation to issue the Shares covered by such exercise unless and until the following conditions have been fulfilled:

 
a.
The person(s) who exercise(s) or accept(s) such Stock Right shall warrant to the Company, prior to the receipt of such Shares, that such person(s) are acquiring such Shares for their own respective accounts, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares, in which event the person(s) acquiring such Shares shall be bound by the provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing their Shares issued pursuant to such exercise or such grant:

     
“The shares represented by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including a pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities laws.”

 
b.
At the discretion of the Administrator, the Company shall have received an opinion of its counsel that the Shares may be issued upon such particular exercise or acceptance in compliance with the 1933 Act without registration thereunder.

DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY.

Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all Options granted under this Plan which as of such date shall not have been exercised and all Stock Grants and Stock-Based Awards which have not been accepted will terminate and become null and void; provided, however, that if the rights of a Participant or a Participant’s Survivors have not otherwise terminated and expired, the Participant or the Participant’s Survivors will have the right immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation to exercise or accept any Stock Right to the extent that the Stock Right is exercisable or subject to acceptance as of the date immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any outstanding Stock-Based Awards shall immediately terminate unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or specifically provided in the applicable Agreement.

24.
ADJUSTMENTS.

Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, a Participant’s rights with respect to any Stock Right granted to him or her hereunder shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided, unless otherwise specifically provided in a Participant’s Agreement:

a. Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If (i) the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, or (ii) additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of an Option or acceptance of a Stock Grant shall be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made including, in the purchase price per share, to reflect such events. The number of Shares subject to the limitations in Paragraph 3(a) and 4(c) shall also be proportionately adjusted upon the occurrence of such events.

b. Corporate Transactions. If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets other than a transaction to merely change the state of incorporation (a “Corporate Transaction”), the Administrator or the board of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the “Successor Board”), shall, as to outstanding Options, either (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Options by substituting on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to such Options either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon written notice to the Participants, provide that such Options must be exercised (either (A) to the extent then exercisable or, (B) at the discretion of the Administrator, any such Options being made fully exercisable for purposes of this Subparagraph), within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period such Options shall terminate; or (iii) terminate such Options in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Options (either (A) to the extent then exercisable or, (B) at the discretion of the Administrator, any such Options being made fully exercisable for purposes of this Subparagraph) over the exercise price thereof.

With respect to outstanding Stock Grants, the Administrator or the Successor Board, shall either (i) make appropriate provisions for the continuation of such Stock Grants on the same terms and conditions by substituting on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to such Stock Grants either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding Shares of Common Stock in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) terminate such Stock Grants in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Stock Grants over the purchase price thereof, if any. In addition, in the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Administrator may waive any or all Company forfeiture or repurchase rights with respect to outstanding Stock Grants.

c. Recapitalization or Reorganization. In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization of the Company other than a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Participant upon exercising an Option or accepting a Stock Grant after the recapitalization or reorganization shall be entitled to receive for the purchase price paid upon such exercise or acceptance of the number of replacement securities which would have been received if such Option had been exercised or Stock Grant accepted prior to such recapitalization or reorganization.

d. Adjustments to Stock-Based Awards. Upon the happening of any of the events described in Subparagraphs a, b or c above, any outstanding Stock-Based Award shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the events described in such Subparagraphs. The Administrator or the Successor Board shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under this Paragraph 24, including, but not limited to the effect if any, of a Change of Control and, subject to Paragraph 4, its determination shall be conclusive.

e. Modification of Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Subparagraph a, b or c above with respect to Options shall be made only after the Administrator determines whether such adjustments would constitute a “modification” of any ISO (as that term is defined in Section 424(h) of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax consequences for the holders of such Options, including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. If the Administrator determines that such adjustments made with respect to Options would constitute a modification or other adverse tax consequence, it may refrain from making such adjustments, unless the holder of an Option specifically agrees in writing that such adjustment be made and such writing indicates that the holder has full knowledge of the consequences of such “modification” on his or her income tax treatment with respect to the Option. This paragraph shall not apply to the acceleration of the vesting of any ISO that would cause any portion of the ISO to violate the annual vesting limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, as described in Paragraph 6b(iv).

25.
ISSUANCES OF SECURITIES.

Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to Stock Rights. Except as expressly provided herein, no adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in property (including without limitation, securities) of the Company prior to any issuance of Shares pursuant to a Stock Right.

26.
FRACTIONAL SHARES.

No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan and the person exercising a Stock Right shall receive from the Company cash in lieu of such fractional shares equal to the Fair Market Value thereof.

27.
CONVERSION OF ISOs INTO NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS; TERMINATION OF ISOs.

The Administrator, at the written request of any Participant, may in its discretion take such actions as may be necessary to convert such Participant’s ISOs (or any portions thereof) that have not been exercised on the date of conversion into Non-Qualified Options at any time prior to the expiration of such ISOs, regardless of whether the Participant is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate at the time of such conversion. At the time of such conversion, the Administrator (with the consent of the Participant) may impose such conditions on the exercise of the resulting Non-Qualified Options as the Administrator in its discretion may determine, provided that such conditions shall not be inconsistent with this Plan. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant the right to have such Participant’s ISOs converted into Non-Qualified Options, and no such conversion shall occur until and unless the Administrator takes appropriate action. The Administrator, with the consent of the Participant, may also terminate any portion of any ISO that has not been exercised at the time of such conversion.

28.
WITHHOLDING.

In the event that any federal, state, or local income taxes, employment taxes, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“F.I.C.A.”) withholdings or other amounts are required by applicable law or governmental regulation to be withheld from the Participant’s salary, wages or other remuneration in connection with the exercise or acceptance of a Stock Right or in connection with a Disqualifying Disposition (as defined in Paragraph 29) or upon the lapsing of any forfeiture provision or right of repurchase or for any other reason required by law, the Company may withhold from the Participant’s compensation, if any, or may require that the Participant advance in cash to the Company, or to any Affiliate of the Company which employs or employed the Participant, the statutory minimum amount of such withholdings unless a different withholding arrangement, including the use of shares of the Company’s Common Stock or a promissory note, is authorized by the Administrator (and permitted by law). For purposes hereof, the fair market value of the shares withheld for purposes of payroll withholding shall be determined in the manner set forth under the definition of Fair Market Value provided in Paragraph 1 above, as of the most recent practicable date prior to the date of exercise. If the fair market value of the shares withheld is less than the amount of payroll withholdings required, the Participant may be required to advance the difference in cash to the Company or the Affiliate employer. The Administrator in its discretion may condition the exercise of an Option for less than the then Fair Market Value on the Participant’s payment of such additional withholding.

29.
NOTICE TO COMPANY OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION.

Each Employee who receives an ISO must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Employee makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO. A Disqualifying Disposition is defined in Section 424(c) of the Code and includes any disposition (including any sale or gift) of such shares before the later of (a) two years after the date the Employee was granted the ISO, or (b) one year after the date the Employee acquired Shares by exercising the ISO, except as otherwise provided in Section 424(c) of the Code. If the Employee has died before such stock is sold, these holding period requirements do not apply and no Disqualifying Disposition can occur thereafter.

30.
TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

The Plan will terminate on November 19, 2017, the date which is ten years from the earlier of the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors and the date of its approval by the shareholders of the Company. The Plan may be terminated at an earlier date by vote of the shareholders or the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, however, that any such earlier termination shall not affect any Agreements executed prior to the effective date of such termination.

31.
AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND AGREEMENTS.

The Plan may be amended by the shareholders of the Company. The Plan may also be amended by the Administrator, including, without limitation, to the extent necessary to qualify any or all outstanding Stock Rights granted under the Plan or Stock Rights to be granted under the Plan for favorable federal income tax treatment as may be afforded incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code (including deferral of taxation upon exercise), and to the extent necessary to qualify the shares issuable upon exercise or acceptance of any outstanding Stock Rights granted, or Stock Rights to be granted, under the Plan for listing on any national securities exchange or quotation in any national automated quotation system of securities dealers. Any amendment approved by the Administrator which the Administrator determines is of a scope that requires shareholder approval shall be subject to obtaining such shareholder approval. Any modification or amendment of the Plan shall not, without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect his or her rights under a Stock Right previously granted to him or her. With the consent of the Participant affected, the Administrator may amend outstanding Agreements in a manner which may be adverse to the Participant but which is not inconsistent with the Plan. In the discretion of the Administrator, outstanding Agreements may be amended by the Administrator in a manner which is not adverse to the Participant.

32.
EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP.

Nothing in this Plan or any Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Company or an Affiliate from terminating the employment, consultancy or director status of a Participant, nor to prevent a Participant from terminating his or her own employment, consultancy or director status or to give any Participant a right to be retained in employment or other service by the Company or any Affiliate for any period of time.
