ABOUT THE MEETING
 
What is being considered at the meeting?
 
You will be voting for:
 
·  
The election of five directors to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified;
 
·  
The approval of a change in our state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada through the conversion of our company from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation; and
 
·  
The transaction of such other and further business as may properly come before the meeting.
 
Who is soliciting your proxy?
 
Your proxy is being solicited by our board of directors.
 
Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?
 
You may vote if you owned stock as of the close of business on April 27, 2012, which is the record date for determining who is eligible to vote at the annual meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote.
 
How do I vote?
 
You can vote either by attending the meeting and voting at the meeting or by completing, signing and returning the enclosed proxy card.  If your shares are held by your broker, you may also be able to vote electronically, in accordance with instruction that your broker will provide you.
 
Can I change my mind after I vote?
 
Yes, you may change your mind at any time before the polls close at the meeting. You can change your vote by signing another proxy with a later date and returning it to us prior to the meeting or by voting again at the meeting. If your stock is held in a brokerage account, you must provide your broker with instructions as to any changes in the voting instructions which you previously provided to your broker.
 
What if I sign and return my proxy card but I do not include voting instructions?
 
If you sign your proxy card and return it to us but you do not include voting instructions as to any proposal, your proxy will be voted FOR the election of the board of directors’ nominees for directors and FOR the change in our state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada.
 
 
 

 
 
 
What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?
 
It means that you have multiple accounts with brokers and/or our transfer agent. Please vote all of these shares. We recommend that you contact your broker and/or our transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address. Our transfer agent is Empire Stock Transfer, Empire Stock Transfer Inc., 1859 Whitney Mesa Dr., Henderson, NV 89014. 
 
Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?
 
If your shares are held in a brokerage account, they may be voted if you provide your broker with instructions as to how you want your shares voted.  Your broker will send you instructions as to how you can vote shares that are held in your brokerage account.  If you do not give your broker instructions as to how you want your shares to be voted, then your shares will not be voted either for the election of directors or for the change in our state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada.
 
If you hold your shares directly in your own name, they will only be voted if you either sign and deliver a proxy or attend and vote at the meeting.
 
How many votes must be present to hold the meeting?
 
In order for us to conduct our meeting, we must have a quorum. We will have a quorum, and be able to conduct the meeting, if a majority of our outstanding shares as of April 27, 2012, are present at the meeting. Your shares will be counted as being present at the meeting if you attend the meeting or if you properly return a proxy by mail or if you give your broker voting instructions and the broker votes your shares.
 
On the record date, April 27, 2012, we had 2,520,245 shares of common stock outstanding. This number of shares does not include treasury stock. We will have a quorum if 1,260,123 shares of common stock are present and voting at the annual meeting.
 
What vote is required to elect directors?
 
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, which means that, as long as a quorum is present, the five nominees for director who receive the most votes will be elected. Abstentions will have no effect on the voting outcome with respect to the election of directors.
 
What vote is required for the approval of the proposed change in our state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada?

The approval of the proposed change in our state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada by reincorporating in Nevada by means of the conversion of our company from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock.

How are broker non-votes treated at the meeting?
 
Broker non-votes are proxies signed by brokers without voting on the election of directors or the change in our state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada.  Broker non-votes are treated as present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether we have a quorum.  However, since directors are elected by a plurality, and broker non-votes will not be voted for any nominees, as long as we have a quorum, including shares represented by broker non-votes, the five nominees for directors who receive the most votes will be elected.  Since change in our state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada requires the approval of a majority of our outstanding shares on the record date, a broker non-vote is equivalent to a negative vote.
 
 Who is paying the cost of the meeting?
 
We will pay for preparing, printing and mailing this proxy statement. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by our directors, officers or employees in person or by telephone, electronic transmission and facsimile transmission. We will reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their out-of-pocket costs of sending the proxy materials to our beneficial owners.  We estimate our costs at approximately $10,000.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
Directors are elected annually by the stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected. Our bylaws provide that the number of directors comprising the whole board shall be determined from time to time by the Board. The size of the board for the ensuing year is five directors. Our nominating committee recommended, and our board of directors accepted the committee’s recommendation that the directors named below be elected. If any nominee becomes unavailable for any reason, a situation which is not anticipated, a substitute nominee may be proposed by the board, and any shares represented by proxy will be voted for the substitute nominee, unless the board reduces the number of directors.
 
Three of our directors, Jianhua Wu, Xi Liu and Tianxiang Zhou were elected at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, for which we solicited proxies.   Fu Ren Chen and Ben Wen Wang were nominated by the nominating committee.  Two of our present directors, Drew Bernstein and Min Li, advised the board that they did not intend to stand for re-election.

Jianhua Wu has been our chief executive officer, chairman and a director since the completion of the reverse acquisition in November 2007.  Mr. Wu founded our predecessor companies, Wuxi Huayang Dyeing Machinery Co., Ltd. and Wuxi Huayang Electrical Power Equipment Co., Ltd., in 1995 and 2004, respectively, and was executive director and general manager of these companies prior to becoming our chief executive officer.  Mr. Wu was nominated as a director because of his position as our chief executive officer.  Mr. Wu is a certified mechanical engineer.

Fu Ren Chen is general manger and chairman of the board of WuXu City ZhengCheng Accounting Services, Ltd., a position he has held since February 2000.  From 1990 until February 2000, Mr. Chen was accounting manager at Qian Zhou Agricultural Financial Co., Ltd.  Mr. Chen is a certified public accountant in China.  We nominated Mr. Chen as a director because we believe that his finance and accounting experience is important to us as we improve our financial accounting controls.
 
Xi Liu has an extensive material engineering background, being a 1989 graduate of Jiangsu University of Technology with a degree in metal material and heat treatment, and having been trained at the Volvo facilities in Penta, Sweden in 1999. Immediately after graduating from the university, Mr. Liu worked at China FAW Group Corporation, the oldest and one of largest Chinese automakers, as an engineer, before leaving in 2005 as an assistant manager in the Purchasing Department of the Wuxi Diesel Engine Works plant. He then joined WAM Bulk Handling Machinery (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., part of the Italian industrial giant WAMGROUP, as a purchasing and sourcing manager, which is his current position.  Mr. Liu’s background in engineering and his practical industrial experience is important to us as we plan and develop our business.

Bao Wen Wang works as a senior engineer at the National 559th factory research center, a state-owned precision optical research center, a position he has held since 2005, when he retired as head of the Wuxi HuGuang Instrument Research Institute, a position he has held since 1979.  Mr. Wang graduated from NanJing University, majoring in weather station and radar.  Mr. Wang’s background in engineering and his practical industrial experience is important to us as we plan and develop our business.

Tianxiang Zhou served as lead engineer in Wuxi Angyida Mechanism Limited Company since 2004. From 1998 to 2004, he was general engineer in Wuxi Huayang Dye Machinery Equipment Limited. From 1994 to 1998 Mr. Zhou worked for Wuxi Chemicals Holdings as chief engineer of its design division. Mr. Zhou received his bachelor degree in engineering from Nanjing Institute of Chemical Technology in August 1961.  Mr. Zhou’s engineering background and his experience in the manufacturing business are important qualifications for his service as a director.

Our directors are elected for a term of one year and until their successors are elected and qualified.
 
We are incorporated in Delaware and are subject to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify and hold harmless our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that no director shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director except for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the General Corporation Law, which relates to unlawful payment of dividends or the unlawful purchase or repurchase of shares of our stock or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
 
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes us to indemnify any director or officer under certain prescribed circumstances and subject to certain limitations against certain costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which a person is a party by reason of being one of our directors or officers if it is determined that such person acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provisions.

Director Independence
 
We believe that four of our nominees for director, Fu Ren Chen, Xi Liu, Ben Wen Wang and Tianxiang Zhou, are independent directors, pursuant to the Nasdaq definition of independence.  Our board has determined that Mr. Chen is an audit committee financial expert. Mr. Wu, our chairman and chief executive officer, is not an independent director.  
 
Committees

Our business, property and affairs are managed by or under the direction of the board of directors. Members of the board are kept informed of our business through discussion with the chief executive and financial officers and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating at meetings of the board and its committees.

Our board of directors has three committees - the audit committee, the compensation committee and the corporate governance/nominating committee. The audit committee is presently comprised of Xi Liu, Drew Bernstein and Min Li, with Mr. Bernstein serving as chairman.  The compensation committee is comprised of Tianziang Zhou, Drew Bernstein and Megan Penick, with Mr. Liu as chairman.   The corporate governance/nomination committee is comprised of Xi Liu, Drew Bernstein and Min Li, with Mr. Liu as chairman. Our 2010 long-term incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee.  Following the election of directors, the committees will be reconstituted since each committee has at least one vacancy resulting from the decisions of Mr. Bernstein and Mr. Li not to stand for reelection.

Our audit committee is involved in discussions with our independent auditor with respect to the scope and results of our year-end audit, our quarterly results of operations, our internal accounting controls and the professional services furnished by the independent auditor. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the audit committee which the audit committee reviews and reassesses for adequacy on an annual basis.  A copy of the audit committee’s current charter is available on our website at http://www.chinawindsystems.com/Corporate_Governance.html.
 
 
-4-

 
 
The compensation committee oversees the compensation of our chief executive officer and our other executive officers and reviews our overall compensation policies for employees generally.  If so authorized by the board of directors, the committee may also serve as the granting and administrative committee under any option or other equity-based compensation plans which we may adopt.  The compensation committee does not delegate its authority to fix compensation; however, as to officers who report to the chief executive officer, the compensation committee consults with the chief executive officer, who may make recommendations to the compensation committee.  Any recommendations by the chief executive officer are accompanied by an analysis of the basis for the recommendations.  The committee will also discuss compensation policies for employees who are not officers with the chief executive officer and other responsible officers.   A copy of the compensation committee’s current charter is available on our website at http://www.chinawindsystems.com/Corporate_Governance.html.   
 
The corporate governance/nominating committee will be involved evaluating the desirability of and recommending to the board any changes in the size and composition of the board, evaluation of and successor planning for the chief executive officer and other executive officers.  The qualifications of any candidate for director will be subject to the same extensive general and specific criteria applicable to director candidates generally.
 
 The board and its committees held the following number of meetings during 2011:
 
Board of directors
    4  
Audit committee
    4  
Compensation committee
    0  
Nomination committee
    0  
 
The meetings include meetings that were held by means of a conference telephone call, but do not include actions taken by unanimous written consent.  

Each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the board and those committees on which he served during the year.

Our non-management directors did not meet in executive session during 2011.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Aside from his/her service as director, no member of our compensation committee had any relationship with us as of December 31, 2011.  None of our  executive officers served as a director or compensation committee member of another entity.

Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees. We have filed copies of our code of ethics and our board committee charters as exhibits to our registration statement filing with the SEC.

Section 16(a) Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other of our equity securities. During the year ended December 31, 2011, Mr. Wu, Mr. Bernstein, Mr. Liu and Mr. Li were delinquent in making Form 4 filings..
 
Directors’ Compensation

We do not have any agreements or formal plan for compensating those individuals nominated for director for their service in their capacity as directors, although our board may, in the future, award stock grants or stock options to our directors.  For services as a director, we paid Mr. Li an annual fee of $6,000, payable quarterly, and in 2011, we issued to Mr. Li 438 shares of common stock, which represents $6,000 divided by the closing price of our common stock on the date of his election.

The following table provides information concerning the compensation of each member of our board of directors whose compensation is not included in the Summary Compensation Table for his or her services as a director and committee member for 2011. The value attributable to any stock grants is computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718 and ASC Topic 505-50.

APPROVAL OF OUR REINCORPORATION FROM DELAWARE TO NEVADA
 
Our reincorporation from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation will be effected through the conversion of our company from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation, which we refer to as Cleantech Nevada. The conversion will effected through the filing of applicable conversion documents with the officers of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. Upon completion of the conversion, we will be a Nevada corporation, with the same capitalization as our present capitalization.  We will continue to operate our business under the name “Cleantech Solutions International, Inc.” In this section, we refer to us before the reincorporation as “the Company” and after the reincorporation as “Cleantech Nevada.” In connection with the reincorporation:
 
·  
There will be no change in our business, management, employees, headquarters, benefit plans, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs incident to the reincorporation, which we expect to be immaterial);
 
·  
The directors and officers of the Company prior to the reincorporation will hold the same positions with Cleantech Nevada following the reincorporation, and there will be no substantive change in direct or indirect interests of the current directors or executive officers of the Company; and
 
·  
Your shares of common stock will automatically be converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock of Cleantech Nevada (“Nevada common stock”). YOU WILL NOT NEED TO EXCHANGE YOUR EXISTING COMMON STOCK CERTIFICATES FOR COMMON STOCK CERTIFICATES OF CLEANTECH NEVADA.
 
·  
We will be governed by new articles of incorporation (“Nevada Charter”) under Nevada law, which we will file at or about the time of the reincorporation.  The Nevada Charter will be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A.
 
·  
Cleantech Nevada’s bylaws, in the form attached as Exhibit B will be the bylaws of the surviving company after the effective date of the reincorporation.
 
·  
The Company’s series A convertible preferred stock (“series A preferred stock”) will automatically be converted into an equivalent number of shares of series A convertible preferred stock of Cleantech Nevada (“Nevada series A preferred stock”).  Holders of series A preferred stock will not need to exchange their existing series A preferred stock certificates. The rights and preferences of Nevada series A preferred stock are substantially identical to those of the series A preferred stock. The designation and rights of the Nevada series A preferred stock is included into the Nevada Charter.
 
·  
Each warrant to purchase shares of the Company will automatically be converted into a warrant to purchase the same number of shares of Cleantech Nevada common stock at the same exercise price per share.  The respective rights of the Cleantech Nevada warrants are identical to those of the Company’s warrants.
 
 
-6-

 
 
Upon completion of the reincorporation, the authorized capital stock of Cleantech Nevada will consist of 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, all of which are designated as series A convertible preferred stock, and 50,000,000 shares of common stock.  The Company’s common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol CLNT. The Nevada common stock will be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market immediately after the reincorporation under the same stock symbol.
 
You will not have to take any action to exchange your stock certificates as a result of the reincorporation. The current certificates representing shares of the Company’s common stock will automatically represent an equal number of shares of Nevada common stock following the reincorporation. New certificates representing shares of Nevada common stock will be available for any stockholder desiring to make an exchange and for all new issuances.
 
Purpose of reincorporation
 
Primarily, our reincorporation from Delaware to Nevada will eliminate our obligation to pay the annual Delaware franchise tax which we expect will result in significant savings to us over the long term. For tax year 2011, we were required to pay approximately $31,850, and for 2010 we were required to pay approximately $29,400.  If we reincorporate in the State of Nevada, our current annual filing fee in the State of Nevada would be approximately $275.
 
            In addition, reincorporation in Nevada may help us attract and retain qualified management by reducing the risk of lawsuits being filed against the Company and its directors. We believe that for the reasons described below, in general, Nevada law provides greater protection to our directors and the Company than Delaware law. The increasing frequency of claims and litigation directed towards directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers in general of public companies in exercising their duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to these claims and to defend this type of litigation can be substantial. Delaware law provides that every person becoming a director of a Delaware corporation consents to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware courts in connection with any action concerning the corporation. Accordingly, a director can be personally sued in Delaware, even though the director has no other contacts with the state. Nevada law has no similar consent provisions and, accordingly, a plaintiff must show the minimum contacts generally required of the director in Nevada for a state to have jurisdiction over a non-resident director. Also, Nevada law allows a company and its officers and directors, if personally sued, to petition the court to order a plaintiff to post a bond to cover their costs of defense. This motion can be based upon lack of reasonable possibility that the complaint will benefit the company or a lack of participation by the individual defendant in the conduct alleged.
 
            Reincorporation in Nevada will also limit the personal liability of directors of the Company. Delaware law permits a corporation to adopt provisions 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 the 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. By contrast, Nevada law permits a broader exclusion of liability of both officers and directors to the Company and its stockholders, providing for an exclusion of all monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty unless they arise from act or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The reincorporation will result in the elimination of any liability of an officer or director for a breach of the duty of loyalty unless arising from intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law.  There is currently no known pending claim or litigation against any of the directors.  The directors have an interest in the reincorporation to the extent that they will be entitled to such elimination of liability.
 
Operating as a Nevada corporation will not interfere with, or differ substantially from, our present corporate activities. As a Nevada corporation, Cleantech Nevada will be governed by Nevada corporate law, while the Company is presently governed by Delaware law. Nevada law may constitute a comprehensive, flexible legal structure under which to operate. However, because of differences in the laws of these states, your rights as stockholders will change in several material respects as a result of the reincorporation. These matters are discussed in greater details immediately below.
 
The reincorporation is not being effective to prevent a change in control, nor is it in response to any present attempt known to our board of directors to acquire control of the Company or obtain representation on our board. Nevertheless, certain effects of the proposed reincorporation may be considered to have anti-takeover implications simply by virtue of being subject to Nevada law. For example, in responding to an unsolicited bidder, the Nevada Revised Statutes authorizes directors to consider not only the interests of stockholders, but also the interests of employees, suppliers, creditors, customers, the economy of the state and nation, the interests of the community and society in general, and the long-term as well as short-term interests of the corporation and its stockholders, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by the continued independence of the corporation. For a discussion of these and other differences between the laws of Delaware and Nevada, see “Significant Differences Between Delaware and Nevada Law,” below.

Potential Disadvantages of reincorporation
 
A potential disadvantage of reincorporating from Delaware to Nevada is that Delaware for many years has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in that state and, in furtherance of that policy, has adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible corporate laws that Delaware periodically updates and revises to meet changing business needs. Because of Delaware’s prominence as a state of incorporation for many large corporations, the Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to Delaware corporations. Because Nevada case law concerning the governing and effects of its statutes and regulations is more limited, the Company and its stockholders may experience less predictability with respect to legality of corporate affairs and transactions and stockholders’ rights to challenge them.
 
Significant Differences between Delaware and Nevada Law
 
The rights of the Company’s stockholders and the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws are currently governed by Delaware law. The reincorporation shall be effected through the conversion of the Company from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation by the filing of a certificate of conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and articles of conversion, along with the Nevada Charter, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.  Accordingly, after the effective time of the reincorporation, your rights as a stockholder will be governed by Nevada law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Cleantech Nevada. The statutory corporate laws of the State of Nevada, as governed by the Nevada Revised Statutes, are similar in many respects to those of Delaware, as governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. However, there are certain differences that may affect your rights as a stockholder, as well as the corporate governance of the corporation, if the reincorporation is consummated. The following are summaries of material differences between the current rights of stockholders of the Company and the rights of stockholders of Cleantech Nevada following the reincorporation.
 
The following discussion is a summary. It does not give you a complete description of the differences that may affect you. You should also refer to the Nevada Revised Statutes, as well as the forms of the articles of incorporation and the bylaws of Cleantech Nevada, which are attached as Exhibits A and B, respectively, to this Proxy Statement, and which will come into effect concurrently with the effectiveness of the reincorporation. In this section, we use the term “charter” to describe either the certificate of incorporation under Delaware law or the articles of incorporation under Nevada law.
 
            General.  As discussed above under “Potential Disadvantages of the reincorporation,” Delaware for many years has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in that state and, in furtherance of that policy, has adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible corporate laws that Delaware periodically updates and revises to meet changing business needs. Because of Delaware’s prominence as a state of incorporation for many large corporations, the Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to Delaware corporations. Because Nevada case law concerning the governing and effects of its statutes and regulations is more limited, the Company and its stockholders may experience less predictability with respect to legality of corporate affairs and transactions and stockholders’ rights to challenge them.  However, Nevada has adopted Business Courts (based on the Delaware model) that minimize the time, cost, and risks of commercial litigation by (1) employing early, comprehensive case management, (2) allowing for active judicial participation in settlement, (3) giving priority to hearing settings to avoid business disruption, and (4) providing for predictability of legal decisions in commercial matters.  Under local court rules of practice, management of Nevada’s business court docket is the highest case management priority of the presiding judge of the business court docket.  Civil actions are assigned to the business court docket if, regardless of the nature of relief sought, the primary subject matter of the action is a dispute concerning the validity, control, operation, or governance of business entities created under Nevada statute, a stockholder derivative action, a dispute concerning a trade-mark or trade name, a claim pursuant to the Nevada Trade Secrets Act, Nevada Securities Act, or Nevada Deceptive Trade Practices Act, a claim involving investment securities, or any other dispute among business entities that would benefit from the enhanced case management of the business court docket.
 
                Removal of Directors. Under both Nevada and Delaware law, any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, upon the vote of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors.  Under Delaware law, directors of a corporation without a classified board may be removed with or without cause by the holders of a majority of shares then entitled to vote in an election of directors. Under Nevada law, any one or all of the directors of a corporation may be removed by the holders of not less than two-thirds of the voting power of a corporation’s issued and outstanding stock. Nevada does not distinguish between removal of directors with or without cause.
 
Fiduciary Duty and Business Judgment.    Nevada, like most jurisdictions, requires that directors and officers of Nevada corporations exercise their powers in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation.  As a matter of law, directors and officers are presumed to act in good faith, on an informed basis, and with a view to the interests of the corporation in making business decisions.   In performing such duties, directors and officers may exercise their business judgment through reliance on information, opinions, reports, financial statements, and other financial data prepared or presented by corporate directors, officers, or employees who are reasonably believed to be reliable and competent.   Professional reliance may also be extended to legal counsel, public accountants, advisers, bankers, or other persons reasonably believed to be competent, and to the work of a committee (on which the particular director or officer does not serve) if the committee was established and empowered by the corporation’s board of directors, and if the committee’s work was within its designated authority and was about matters on which the committee was reasonably believed to merit confidence.  However, directors and officers may not rely on such information, opinions, reports, books of account, or similar statements if they have knowledge concerning the matter in question that would make such reliance unwarranted. 
 
 
-8-

 
 
In Delaware, directors and members of any committee designated by the board are similarly entitled to rely in good faith upon the records of the corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports, and statements presented to the corporation by corporate officers, employees, committees of the board of directors, or other persons as to matters the member reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence, provided that other person has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the corporation.  Unlike Nevada, Delaware does not extend the statutory protection for reliance on such persons to corporate officers.
 
Flexibility for Decisions, including Takeovers.  Nevada provides directors with more discretion than Delaware in making corporate decisions, including decisions made in takeover situations.  In Nevada, director and officer actions taken in response to a change or potential change in control that do not disenfranchise stockholders are granted the benefits of the business judgment rule.  However, in the case of an action that impedes the rights of stockholders to vote for or remove directors, directors will only be given the advantages of the business judgment rule if the directors have reasonable grounds to believe a threat to corporate policy and effectiveness exists and the action taken that impedes the exercise of the stockholders’ rights is reasonable in relation to such threat.   In exercising their powers in response to a change or potential change of control, directors and officers of Nevada corporations may consider the effect of the decision on several corporate constituencies in addition to the stockholders, including the corporation’s employees, the interests of the community, and the economy. 
 
Delaware does not provide a similar list of statutory factors that corporate directors and officers may consider in making decisions.  In fact, in  a number of cases, Delaware law has been interpreted to provide that fiduciary duties require directors to accept an offer from the highest bidder regardless of the effect of such sale on the corporate constituencies other than the stockholders.  Thus, the flexibility granted to directors of Nevada corporations in the context of a hostile takeover are greater than those granted to directors of Delaware corporations. 
 
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.
 
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 three respects. First, the Nevada provision applies to both directors and officers. Second, while the Delaware provision except from limitation on liability a breach of the duty of loyalty, the Nevada counterpart does not contain this exception. Third, Nevada law with respect to the elimination of liability for directors and officers expressly applies to liabilities owed to creditors of the corporation. 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 and from obligations to the corporation’s creditors.
 
                Indemnification of Officers and Directors and Advancement of Expenses. Although Delaware and Nevada law have substantially similar provisions regarding indemnification by a corporation of its officers, directors, employees and agents, Nevada provides broader indemnification in connection with stockholder derivative lawsuits.  Delaware 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 civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or 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 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 provide for mandatory advancement. Under Nevada law, the articles of incorporation, bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the corporation must pay advancements of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceedings 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 is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

Action by Written Consent of Directors. Both Delaware and Nevada law provide that, unless the articles or certificate of incorporation or the bylaws provide otherwise, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the directors or a committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent to the action in writing.
 
Actions by Written Consent of Stockholders. Both Delaware and Nevada law provide that, unless the articles or certificate of incorporation provides 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 the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote consent to the action in writing. Delaware law requires a 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. Nevada law does not require notice to the stockholders of action taken by less than all of the stockholders.  However, the ability to use these provisions is affected by our status as a company registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the proxy rules thereunder.
 
                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.
 
Restrictions on Business Combinations. Both Delaware and Nevada law contain provisions restricting the ability of a corporation to engage in business combinations with an interested stockholder. Under Delaware law, a corporation that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, is not permitted to engage in a business combination with any interested stockholder for a three-year period following the time the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (i) the transaction resulting in a person becoming an interested stockholder, or the business combination, is approved by the board of directors of the corporation before the person becomes an interested stockholder; (ii) the interested stockholder acquires 85% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation in the same transaction that makes it an interested stockholder (excluding shares owned by persons who are both officers and directors of the corporation, and shares held by certain employee stock ownership plans); or (iii) on or after the date the person becomes an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the corporation’s board of directors and by the holders of at least two-thirds of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock at an annual or special meeting, excluding shares owned by the interested stockholder. Delaware law defines “interested stockholder” generally as a person who owns 15% or more of the outstanding shares of a corporation’s voting stock.
 
                Nevada law regulates business combinations more stringently. Nevada law defines an interested stockholder as a beneficial owner (directly or indirectly) of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the corporation. In addition, combinations with an interested stockholder remain prohibited for three years after the person became an interested stockholder unless (i) the transaction is approved by the board of directors or the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares not beneficially owned by the interested party, or (ii) the interested stockholder satisfies certain fair value requirements. As in Delaware, a Nevada corporation may opt-out of the statute with appropriate provisions in its articles of incorporation.  Pursuant to the Cleantech Nevada charter, Cleantech Nevada opted out of restrictions on business combinations.
 
Dissenters’ Rights.  In both Delaware and Nevada, dissenting stockholders of a corporation engaged in certain major corporate transactions are entitled to appraisal rights.  Appraisal rights permit a stockholder to receive cash equal to the fair market value of the stockholder’s shares (as determined by agreement of the parties or by a court) in lieu of the consideration such stockholder would otherwise receive in any such transaction.  
 
Under Nevada law, a stockholder is entitled to dissent from, and obtain payment for the fair value of his or her shares in the event of (i) certain acquisitions of a controlling interest in the corporation, (ii) consummation of a plan of merger, if approval by the stockholders is required and the stockholder is entitled to vote on the merger or if the domestic corporation is a subsidiary and is merged with its parent, (iii) a plan of exchange in which the corporation is a party, or (iv) any corporate action taken pursuant to a vote of the stockholders, if the articles of incorporation, bylaws or a resolution of the board of directors provides that voting or nonvoting stockholders are entitled to dissent and obtain payment for their shares.  Holders of securities listed on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq National Market System or held by at least 2,000 stockholders of record are generally not entitled to dissenters’ rights.   This exception is not, however, available if the articles of incorporation of the corporation issuing the shares state that it is not available, or if the holders of the class or series are required under the plan of merger or exchange to accept for the shares anything except cash, shares of stock as described in Nev. Rev. Stat. § 92A.390(b), or a combination thereof.  Nevada law prohibits a dissenting shareholder from voting his shares or receiving certain dividends or distributions after his dissent.

Under Delaware law, appraisal rights are generally available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a Delaware corporation in a merger or consolidation, provided that no appraisal rights are available for the shares of any class or series of stock that, at the record date for the meeting held to approve such transaction, were either (1) listed on a national securities exchange or (2) held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders.   Even if the shares of any class or series of stock meet the requirements of subsections (1) or (2) above, appraisal rights are available for such class or series if the holders thereof receive in the merger or consolidation anything except cash, shares of stock of the issuing corporation or shares of stock of a corporation  that  is either listed on a national securities exchange or whose stock is held of record by more than 2,000 holders, or a combination thereof. 
 
Delaware allows beneficial owners of shares to file a petition for appraisal without the need to name a nominee as a nominal plaintiff and to make it easier to withdraw from the appraisal process and accept the terms offered in the merger or consolidation.  No appraisal rights are available to stockholders of the surviving corporation if the merger did not require their approval. 
 
                Special Meetings of the Stockholders. 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 stockholder meeting. Nevada law permits special meetings of stockholders to be called by the entire board of directors, any two directors, or the President, unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise.
 
Special Meetings Pursuant to Petition of Stockholders. Delaware law provides that a director or a stockholder of a corporation may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware if the corporation fails to hold an annual meeting for the election of directors or there is no written consent to elect directors instead of an annual meeting for a period of 30 days after the date designated for the annual meeting or, if there is no date designated, within 13 months after the last annual meeting. Nevada law is more restrictive. Under Nevada law, stockholders having not less than 15% of the voting interest may petition the district court to order a meeting for the election of directors if a corporation fails to call a meeting for that purpose within 18 months after the last meeting at which directors were elected. The reincorporation may make it more difficult for our stockholders to require that an annual meeting be held without the consent of the Board.
 
Adjournment of Stockholder Meetings. Under Delaware law, if a meeting of stockholders is adjourned due to lack of a quorum and the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. Under Nevada law, a corporation is not required to give any notice of an adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting, other than by announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless the board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting or the meeting date is adjourned to a date more than 60 days later than the date set for the original meeting, in which case a new record date must be fixed and notice given.
 
                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 it is coupled with an interest or unless otherwise provided in the proxy, which duration may not exceed seven years. Nevada law also provides for irrevocable proxies, without limitation on duration, in limited circumstances.
 
Stockholder Vote for Mergers and Other Corporate Reorganizations. Delaware law requires 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. A Nevada corporation may provide in its articles of incorporation that the corporation may sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of its assets upon approval by the board of directors without the requirement of stockholder approval.
 
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: (a) the plan of merger does not amend the existing certificate of incorporation; (b) 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 (c) either no shares of common stock of the surviving corporation and no shares, securities or obligations convertible into such stock are to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger, or the authorized unissued shares or shares of common stock of the surviving corporation to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger plus those initially issuable upon conversion of any other shares, securities or obligations to be issued or delivered under such plan do not exceed 20% of the shares of common stock of such constituent corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger. Nevada law does not require a stockholder vote of the surviving corporation in a merger under substantially similar circumstances.
 
 
-11-

 
 
Increasing or Decreasing Authorized Shares. Nevada law allows the board of directors of a corporation, unless restricted by the articles of incorporation, to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares in the class or series of the corporation’s shares and correspondingly effect a forward or reverse split of any such class or series of the corporation’s shares without a vote of the stockholders, so long as the action taken does not change or alter any right or preference of the stockholder and does not include any provision or provisions pursuant to which only money will be paid or script issued to stockholders who hold 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the affected class and series, and who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractions of shares in exchange for the cancellation of all of their outstanding shares. Delaware law contains no such similar provision.
 
Significant Differences between Bylaws of Cleantech Nevada and Bylaws of the Company
 
In addition to the differences between the laws of Delaware and Nevada described above, under the bylaws of Cleantech Nevada, the holders of at least one-third of the outstanding voting shares shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders.  The Company’s current bylaws require majority of the outstanding voting shares to constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders.
 
The bylaws of Cleantech Nevada provide that a special meeting may be called by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president or the board of directors or by a written order of a majority of the directors, and by the written request of stockholders holding not less than one-third of the outstanding voting shares.  The Company’s current bylaws permit special meetings to be called by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the secretary (who is not an executive officer) and the board of directors.
 
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the reincorporation.
 
The Company intends the reincorporation to be a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Assuming the reincorporation qualifies as a tax-free reorganization, the holders of the Company’s common stock will not recognize any gain or loss under the Federal tax laws as a result of the occurrence of the reincorporation, and neither will the Company or Cleantech Nevada. Each stockholder will have the same basis in Cleantech Nevada’s common stock received as a result of the reincorporation as that holder has in the corresponding common stock of the Company held at the time the reincorporation occurs. Each holder’s holding period in Cleantech Nevada’s common stock received as a result of the reincorporation will include the period during which such holder held the corresponding common stock of the Company at the time the reincorporation occurs, provided the latter was held by such holder as a capital asset at the time of consummation of the reincorporation.
 
            This proxy statement only discusses U.S. federal income tax consequences and has done so only for general information. It does not address all of the federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular stockholders based upon individual circumstances or to stockholders who are subject to special rules, such as, financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, foreign holders or holders who acquired their shares as compensation, whether through employee stock options or otherwise. This Proxy Statement does not address the tax consequences under state, local or foreign laws.
 
This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code, laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect as of the date of this Proxy Statement, all of which are subject to differing interpretations and change, possibly with retroactive effect. The Company has neither requested nor received a tax opinion from legal counsel or rulings from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the consequences of reincorporation. There can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions would not alter the consequences discussed above.
 
You should consult your own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to you of the reincorporation, including the applicability and effect of federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.
 
Absence of Appraisal Rights
 
The reincorporation will be conducted as a conversion of the Company from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation.  Under Section 253, no right of appraisal or redemption is available to our stockholders in connection with the reincorporation. Therefore, our stockholders are not entitled to receive consideration instead of shares of Cleantech Nevada.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
Our securities will not be materially modified as a result of the reincorporation.  As such, the descriptions below will apply in substantial part to the securities of the Company and Cleantech Nevada.  In this section, we use the terms common stock, preferred stock and series A preferred stock interchangeably to refer to the Company and Cleantech Nevada.  The reincorporation does not require the financial information since the reincorporation does not have a material affect on our financial statements.  The following description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Nevada Charter.
 
Common Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Holders of our common stock are entitled to equal voting rights, consisting of one vote per share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. After giving effect to the reincorporation, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our articles of incorporation. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, each outstanding share of the common stock is entitled to share equally in our assets.
 
Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock. They are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by our board, out of funds legally available therefore. We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay any within the foreseeable future since any earnings are expected to be reinvested. Further, pursuant to the securities purchase agreement relating to our November 2007 private placement, we cannot pay dividends while the series A preferred stock is outstanding.
 
Preferred Stock

            Our articles of incorporation give our board of directors the power to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Except for the series A preferred stock, we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. Our articles of incorporation include a provision which states that any rights, options and warrants may provide that any or all of such terms and conditions may not be waived or amended or may be waived or amended only with the consent of the holders of a designated percentage of a designated class or classes of our capital stock (or a designated group or groups of holders within such class or classes, including but not limited to disinterested holders), and the applicable terms and conditions of any such rights, options or warrants so conditioned may not be waived or amended or may not be waived or amended absent such consent. This relates to the terms of the warrants that provide that the 4.9% limitation on the number of shares of common stock that a warrant holder may beneficially own may not be amended.

Series A Preferred Stock
 
We presently have one series of preferred stock outstanding, the series A convertible preferred stock, which covers 30,000,000 shares.  As of April 27, 2012, there were no shares of series A preferred stock outstanding.  Each share of series A preferred stock is convertible into 1/30 of a share of common stock, subject to adjustment.
 
No dividends are payable with respect to the series A preferred stock. While the series A preferred stock is outstanding, we may not pay dividends on or redeem shares of common stock.
 
 
-13-

 
 
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of the series A preferred stock are entitled to a preference of $.374 per share before any distributions or payments may be made with respect to the common stock or any other class or series of capital stock which is junior to the series A preferred stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.
 
The holders of the series A preferred stock have no voting rights, with certain limited exceptions.  As long as any shares of series A preferred stock are outstanding, we shall not, without the affirmative approval of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of series A preferred stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the series A preferred stock or alter, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the series A preferred stock, or any of preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the series A preferred stock, (c) amend our certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions hereof, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of series A preferred stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.
 
The holders of the series A preferred stock may not convert the series A preferred stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the holders and their affiliates owning more than 4.9% of our outstanding common stock. This limitation may not be amended or waived; provided, that the limitation does not supply with respect to a change of control. The shares of series A preferred stock are automatically converted upon a change of control, as defined in the certificate of designation.
 
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNLESS REQUESTED TO DO SO.
 
Transfer Agent
 
Empire Stock Transfer, Inc., 1859 Whitney Mesa Drive, Henderson, Nevada 89014 is the transfer agent for our common stock.
 
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

The following table provides information as to shares of common stock beneficially owned as of April 26, 2012, by:

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, whether such assets are capital or surplus, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock an amount equal to thirty seven and 4/10 cents ($.374) per share of Series A Preferred Stock, which amount is referred to as the “Liquidation Preference,” before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any securities which are junior to the Series A Preferred Stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up and after any distributions or payments made to holders of any class or series of securities which are senior to the Series A Preferred Stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and if the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the Holders shall be distributed among the Holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. In the event the assets of the Company available for distribution to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5, no such distribution shall be made on account of any shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company ranking on a parity with the shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, ratably, in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up. At the election of a Holder made by written notice delivered to the Company at least two (2) business days prior to the effective date of the subject transaction, as to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder, a Fundamental Transaction (excluding for purposes of this Section 5 any Fundamental Transaction described in Section 7(f)(iv)(A) or 7(f)(iv)(B)) or Change of Control shall be treated as a Liquidation as to such Holder.

Section 6. Conversion.
 
(a)           Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be initially convertible (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c)), into such number of shares of Common Stock based on the Conversion Ratio at the option of the Holders, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date; provided, however, that until the Restated Certificate, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the issuance of more than the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Company with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) as fully and originally executed by the Holder, together with the delivery by the Holder to the Company of the stock certificate(s) representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted, with such stock certificates being duly endorsed in full for transfer to the Company or with an applicable stock power duly executed by the Holder in the manner and form as deemed reasonable by the transfer agent of the Common Stock. Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue, the stock certificate number and the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented thereby which are accompanying the Notice of Conversion, and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion and the applicable stock certificates to the Company by overnight delivery service (the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the Trading Day immediately following the date that such Notice of Conversion and applicable stock certificates are received by the Company. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and may not be reissued. If the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 7 or as otherwise provided in this Statement of Designations, the Conversion Ratio shall likewise be adjusted and the new Conversion Ratio shall determined by multiplying the Conversion Ratio in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Price in effect before the adjustment and the denominator of which is the new Conversion Price. Thereafter, subject to any further adjustments in the Conversion Price, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be initially convertible into Common Stock based on the new Conversion Ratio. 
 
(b)           Automatic Conversion Upon Change of Control. Subject to Section 5, all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into the Conversion Shares upon the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for consummation of any transaction resulting in a Change of Control of the Company (an “Automatic Conversion Event”). A “Change in Control” means a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another company or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another company or entity not controlled by the then existing stockholders of the Company in a transaction or series of transactions. The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares unless certificates evidencing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent in writing that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(b), the Company shall promptly send written notice thereof, by hand delivery or by overnight delivery, to the holders of record of all of the Series A Preferred Stock at their addresses then shown on the records of the Company, which notice shall state that certificates evidencing shares of Series A Preferred Stock must be surrendered at the office of the Company (or of its transfer agent for the Common Stock, if applicable).
 
 
A-7

 
 
 
(c)           Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Except as provided in Section 6(b) of this Statement of Designations, which shall apply as stated therein if an Automatic Conversion Event shall occur, the right of the Holder to convert the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to the 4.9% Limitation, with the result that Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.  For the purposes of this Agreement beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the most recent of the following: (A) the Company’s most recent quarterly reports (Form 10-Q), Annual Reports (Form 10-K), or definitive proxy statement or information statement as filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (C) any other written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Series A Preferred Stock, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was publicly reported by the Company. The 4.9% Limitation may be not be waived or amended.  
 
(d)           Mechanics of Conversion
 
(i)             Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Except as otherwise set forth herein, not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates which, after the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends (if the Company has elected or is required to pay accrued dividends in cash). After the Effective Date, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing Company performing similar functions if the Company’s transfer agent has the ability to deliver shares of Common Stock in such manner. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return the certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock tendered for conversion.
 
(ii)            Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with the Holder of has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason (other than the inability of the Company to issue shares of Common Stock as a result of the limitation set forth in Section 6(c) hereof) unless an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Series A Preferred Stock shall have been sought and obtained and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the Conversion Value of Series A Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) within two Trading Days of the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of Conversion Value of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, $50 per Trading Day (increasing to $100 per Trading Day after three (3) Trading Days and increasing to $200 per Trading Day six (6) Trading Days after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
 
 
A-8

 
 
 
(iii)           Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) by a Share Delivery Date, and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which the aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation is $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
(iv)           Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such shares set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, non-assessable and, if the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement provided that the holder or its broker delivers confirmation to the Company or its transfer agent to the effect that the Conversion Shares have been sold pursuant to such registration statement. 
 
(v)            Fractional Shares. Upon a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractional shares of Common Stock. All fractional shares shall be carried forward and any fractional shares which remain after a Holder converts all of his or her Series A Preferred Stock shall be dropped and eliminated.
 
(vi)           Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. 
 
(vii)          Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Statement of Designations shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the liquidated damages (if any) on, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Section 7.  Certain Adjustments
 
(a)            Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time subsequent to the Closing Date as long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Series A Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. 
 
 
A-9

 
 
(b)           [Deleted]
 
(c)            Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time from and after the Closing Date and as long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
 
(d)           Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares and shares owned by subsidiaries, if any) actually issued and outstanding.
 
 (e)           Notice to Holders.
 
(i)             Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section 7, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate security, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or the lowest possible adjustment price in the case of an MFN Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
 
(ii)           Notices of Other Events. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock or any Fundamental Transaction, (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least 30 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification or Fundamental Transaction; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.
 
 (f)            Exempt Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment in the Conversion Price will be made in respect of an Exempt Issuance.
 
 
A-10

 
 
(g)           Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Statement of Designations with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holder new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (f)(iv) and insuring that this Series A Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Statement of Designations, in the event that the agreement relating to a Fundamental Transaction provides for the conversion or exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock into equity or debt securities, cash or other consideration and the agreement is approved by the holders of a majority of the. then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have only the rights set forth in such agreement.
 
Section 8. Miscellaneous.
 
(a)            Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder, including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at its principal address as reflected in its most recent filing with the Commission.

(c)            Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation, not less than 45 days nor more than 75 days prior to the date on which the corporation first mailed its proxy materials for the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders (or the date on which the corporation mails its proxy materials for the current year if during the prior year the corporation did not hold an annual meeting or if the date of the annual meeting was changed more than 30 days from the prior year) or as otherwise provided in the proxy statement for the prior year’s meeting at which directors were elected.  Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by the person, (iv) the reasons why such person is qualified to serve as a director, and (v) any other information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to Rule 14a under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice, (i) the name and record address of the stockholder, and (ii) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. These provisions shall not apply to nomination of any persons entitled to be separately elected by holders of preferred stock.  The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

2.6.2.        In the event that a person is validly designated as a nominee in accordance with this Section 2.6 and shall thereafter become unable or willing to stand for election to the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors or the stockholder who proposed such nominee, as the case may be, may designate a substitute nominee.

2.6.3.        If the Chairman of the Election Meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, such nomination shall be void.

SECTION 2.7.        Quorum. The holders of at least one third of the of the shares of capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on each matter at such meeting), shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business, except when stockholders are required to vote by class, in which event at least one third of the issued and outstanding shares of the appropriate class shall be present in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on each matter at such meeting), and except as otherwise provided by the NRS or by the Articles of Incorporation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles of Incorporation or these by-laws, the holders of at least one third of the shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on each matter at such meeting), whether or not a quorum is present, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

SECTION 2.8.        Voting. When a quorum is present at any meeting of the stockholders, an action by the stockholders, other than the election of directors, is approved by a majority of the votes cast, except where the NRS prescribes a different percentage of votes and/or a different exercise of voting power, and except as may be otherwise prescribed by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and these by-laws, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the vote required to approve such action.  Every stockholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy (a) appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney or (b) authorized by the transmission of an electronic record by the stockholder to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a firm which solicits proxies or like agent who is authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive the transmission subject to any procedures the Board of Directors may adopt from time to time to determine that the electronic record is authorized by the stockholder; provided, however, that no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of its execution, unless coupled with an interest, or unless the person executing it specifies therein the length of time for which it is to continue in force, which in no case shall exceed seven (7) years from the date of its execution. If such instrument or record shall designate two (2) or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one (1) be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one (1). Unless required by the NRS or determined by the Chairman of the meeting to be advisable, the vote on any matter need not be by written ballot. No stockholder shall have cumulative voting rights.

SECTION 2.9.        Consent of Stockholders. Whenever the vote of the stockholders at a meeting thereof is required or permitted to be taken for or in connection with any corporate action, the meeting and vote of stockholders may be dispensed with if a majority all the stockholders who would have been entitled to vote upon the action if such meeting were held shall consent in writing to such corporate action being taken; provided, that in no case shall the written consent be by the holders of stock having less than the minimum percentage of the vote required by the NRS.

SECTION 2.10.      Voting of Stock of Certain Holders. Shares standing in the name of another Corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the by-laws of such Corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors of such Corporation may determine. Shares standing in the name of a deceased person may be voted by the executor or administrator of such deceased person, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of a guardian, conservator or trustee may be voted by such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy, but no such fiduciary shall be entitled to vote shares held in such fiduciary capacity without a transfer of such shares into the name of such fiduciary. Shares outstanding in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver. A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation, he or she has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or his or her proxy, may represent the stock and vote thereon.

SECTION 2.11.      Treasury Stock. The Corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock owned by it; and such shares shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares.
`
SECTION 2.12.      Fixing Record Date. The Board of Directors may fix in advance a date for any meeting of stockholders (which date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days preceding the date of any such meeting of stockholders), a date for payment of any dividend or distribution, a date for the allotment of rights, a date when any change or conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect, or a date in connection with obtaining a consent of stockholders (which date shall not precede or be more than ten (10) days after the date the resolution setting such record date is adopted by the Board of Directors), in each case as a record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting and any adjournment thereof, to receive payment of any such dividend or distribution, to receive any such allotment of rights, to exercise the rights in respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or to give such consent, as the case may be, except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation. In any such case such stockholders and only such stockholders as shall be stockholders of record on the Record Date shall be entitled to such notice of and to vote at any such meeting and any adjournment thereof, to receive payment of such dividend or distribution, to receive such allotment of rights, to exercise such rights, or to give such consent, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Corporation after any such Record Date.
