The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by Bingham. Bingham will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of its common stock held of record by them and will reimburse such persons for their reasonable charges and expenses in connection therewith.

The Bylaw Amendment will be effective 20 calendar days after this Information Statement is first sent to Bingham’s stockholders.

 

Under the NRS, Bingham stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the Actions.

VOTE REQUIRED AND INFORMATION ON VOTING STOCKHOLDERS

 

We are not seeking consents, authorizations or proxies from you.

 

As of the date of the Written Consent, Bingham had 40,379,238 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, which for voting purposes are entitled to one vote per share. On January 19, 2018, the following consenting Voting Stockholders owning a total of 21,226,013 shares of our Common Stock, which represented 52.6% of the total number of voting shares outstanding on such date, delivered the executed Written Consent authorizing the Actions described herein. The consenting Voting Stockholders’ names, affiliation with the Company and holdings are as follows:

 

Name   Affiliation with the Company   Number of Voting Shares   % of Total
Voting Shares
VIP Worldnet, Inc.   None     5,000,000       12.4 %

Pursuant to the Company’s existing Bylaws and the NRS, the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock representing a majority of our voting power may approve and authorize the Actions by written consent as if such Actions were undertaken at a duly called and held meeting of stockholders.  In order to significantly reduce the costs and management time involved in soliciting and obtaining proxies to approve the Actions, and in order to effectuate the Actions as early as possible, the Board elected to utilize, and did in fact obtain, the Written Consent of the Voting Stockholders.  The Written Consent satisfies the stockholder approval requirement for the Actions.  Accordingly, under the NRS and the Bylaws, no other approval by the Board or stockholders of the Company is required in order to effect the Actions.  

 

     

 

 

ACTION 1. AMEND AND RESTATE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 

Name Change

 

Existing Articles

 

The Company’s existing name is Bingham Canyon Corporation.

 

Amended Articles

 

Pursuant to the Amended Articles, the Company’s name will be changed to PCT LTD.

 

Reason for Amendment

 

Prior to August 10, 2016, the Company’s purpose was to market and sell a line of nutrition and dietary products. However, upon the change of control of the Company effective on August 10, 2016, the Company is no longer involved in the nutritional dietary products business but rather the focus of the Company is now a technology development and licensing company specializing in environmentally safe solutions for global sustainability. As such, the Company’s existing name is no longer appropriate.

 

Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock

 

Existing Articles

 

The total number of shares of Common Stock authorized under the existing Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as in effect prior to the completion of the Actions, is 100,000,000 shares.

 

Amended Articles

 

The total number of shares of Common Stock authorized under the Amended Articles will be 300,000,000 shares.

 

Reasons for and Principal Effects of Amendment

 

The Board believes that the increase in the number of shares of authorized capital stock is necessary in order to support the continued growth of the Company.  To date, the Company has supported its operations primarily through sales of shares of its common stock, including sales of derivative securities that give the holder rights to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock.  Such derivative securities include warrants to purchase shares of common stock and convertible debt instruments that are convertible into shares of common stock.  

 

The Board anticipates that the Company will continue to sell shares of its common stock and common stock-based derivative securities in order to support its operations.  As a result, the Board has determined that it is necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock that the Company is authorized to issue in order to accommodate the Company’s continued financing activity and existing obligations under its outstanding derivative securities. Accordingly, the Voting Stockholders approved the increase in number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to accommodate for any such share issuances.

 

Furthermore, the Voting Stockholders voted in favor of the Charter Amendment to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock to 300,000,000, in order to improve the Company’s financial flexibility with respect to the Company’s capital structure by having additional shares for future equity financings and acquisitions. The additional shares of authorized Common Stock would be available for issuance from time to time as determined by the Board for any proper corporate purpose. Such purposes might include, without limitation, issuance in public or private sales for cash as a means of obtaining additional capital for use in the Company’s business and operations, and issuance as part or all of the consideration required to be paid by the Company for acquisitions of other businesses or assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has no obligation to issue such additional shares and there are no plans, proposals or arrangements currently contemplated by the Company that would involve the issuance of the additional shares to acquire another company or its assets, or for any other corporate purpose stated.

 

The Company’s stockholders will not realize any dilution in their ownership or voting rights as a result of the increase in authorized shares of Common Stock, but will experience dilution to the extent additional shares are issued in the future.

 

Having an increased number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock would allow the Company to take prompt action with respect to corporate opportunities that develop, without the delay and expense of convening a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of approving an increase in the Company’s capitalization. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock may, if such shares are issued at prices below what current stockholders’ paid for their shares, reduce stockholders’ equity per share and dilute the value of current stockholders’ shares. It is not the present intention of the Board to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of shares of Common Stock that would become authorized by the Charter Amendment unless otherwise required by law or regulation. Frequently, opportunities arise that require prompt action, and it is the belief of the Voting Stockholders that the delay necessitated for stockholder approval of a specific issuance could be to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders.

 

When issued, the additional shares of Common Stock authorized by the Charter Amendment will have the same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock currently authorized and outstanding. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights and, accordingly, stockholders would not have any preferential rights to purchase any of the additional shares of Common Stock when such shares are issued.

 

Shares of authorized and unissued Common Stock could be issued in one or more transactions that could make it more difficult, and therefore less likely, that any takeover of the Company could occur. Issuance of additional Common Stock could have a deterrent effect on persons seeking to acquire control. The Board also could, although it has no present intention of so doing, authorize the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a holder who might thereby obtain sufficient voting power to assure that any proposal to effect certain business combinations or amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws would not receive the required stockholder approval. Accordingly, the power to issue additional shares of Common Stock could enable the Board to make it more difficult to replace incumbent directors and to accomplish business combinations opposed by the incumbent Board.

 

Authorized Blank Check Preferred Stock

 

Existing Articles

 

No shares of preferred stock are authorized under the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as in effect prior to the completion of the Actions.

 

Amended Articles

 

The total number of shares of preferred stock authorized under the Amended Articles will be 10,000,000 shares.

 

Reasons for and Principal Effects of Amendment

 

The Voting Stockholders believe that the ability to create and issue various series of the Company’s preferred stock with various properties as determined by the Board will provide the Board with greater speed and flexibility in determining the consideration that may be offered by the Company’s issuance of its equity in transactions such as mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations, and for raising capital for the Company. In many of these transactions, time is of the essence, and the ability of the Board to act in such matters without the time-consuming process of stockholder approval can be crucial.

 

The authorization of the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock is not being done for the purpose of impeding any takeover attempt. Nevertheless, the power of the Board to provide for the issuance of various series of the Company’s preferred stock with various properties without stockholder approval has potential utility as a device to discourage or impede a takeover of the Company.

 

Combinations with Interested Stockholders

 

Existing Articles

 

Currently, the Company is not subject to the “Combinations with Interested Stockholders” provisions contained in Sections 78.411 through 78.444 of the NRS because the Company has fewer than 200 record holders.

 

The “Combinations with Interested Stockholders” provisions of the NRS provide that, subject to certain exceptions, a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record may not engage in a combination with any person that owns 10 percent or more of the voting shares of the corporation for 2 years after the date that such person first became an interested stockholder unless:

 

  the combination or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors before the person first became an interested stockholder; or

 

  the combination is approved by the board of directors and, at or after that time, the combination is approved at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, by the affirmative vote of the holders of stock representing at least 60 percent of the outstanding voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder or the affiliates or associates of the interested stockholder.

 

The existing Articles of Incorporation of the Company do not contain a provision opting out of such rules. Consequently, in the event that the Company were to have 200 or more record holders in the future, the Company would be subject to such rules.

 

Amended Articles

 

The NRS allow a Nevada corporation to elect in its articles of incorporation not to be governed by the “Combinations with Interested Stockholders” provisions contained in Sections 78.411 through 78.444 of the NRS. The Board and the Voting Stockholders believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders not to be restricted by such rules. The Amended Articles contain a provision opting out of such rules.

 

Classified and Staggered Board of Directors

 

Existing Articles

 

Directors of the Company presently are elected annually by the stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified.

 

Amended Articles

 

Directors of the Company shall be elected on staggered terms set forth in the Amended Bylaws.

 

Reasons for and Principal Effects of Amendment

 

We believe that our long-term success is dependent on continuity and stability in the management of the Company. Staggering director terms, rather than electing each director annually, promotes stability and continuity in leadership and encourages development of long-term planning. Moreover, staggered terms enhance the independence of non-management directors and can facilitate more informed decision making. Further, electing directors to staggered terms helps to ensure that the majority of the Board has sufficient experience and knowledge of the Company such that they can contribute to the best long-term interests of the stockholders.

 

To further the stability of the Board and the policies formulated by the Board, the Board has recommended and the Voting Stockholders approved the Amended Articles, which contains an Article to establish a classified board of directors with staggered terms. Directors of the Company presently are elected annually by the stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified.

 

Majority Vote for All Corporate Matters

 

Existing Articles

 

Article VI(c) currently provides:

 

“No sale, conveyance, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property and assets of this Corporation shall be made unless approved by the vote or written consent of the stockholders entitled to exercise two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the Corporation.”

 

Amended Articles

 

The Amended Articles contain provisions requiring a simple majority vote of stockholders for approval of corporate actions.

 

Reasons for and Principal Effects of Amendment

 

The Board has determined a simple majority vote for all corporate actions better suits the Company’s needs as a publicly traded company.

 

ACTION 2. AMEND AND RESTATE BYLAWS

 

The Board recommended and the Voting Stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of our Bylaws (the “ Restated Bylaws ”). The Restated Bylaws effecting the proposed amendments and restatements will become effective following the 20th day after the mailing of this Information Statement to our stockholders as of the Record Date.

 

The proposed amendments and restatements to the Bylaws of the corporation are modifications to better reflect the business of the Company and in order to improve administrative and governing procedures for the Company and the protection of its stockholders; including providing for an increase in the number of directors and a staggered board of directors.

 

Reasons for the amended and restated By-Laws

 

Our Board believes that these amendments to the Bylaws will provide more protection for its stockholders based on the Company’s new business plan and expansion efforts in the future.

 

Our Bylaws currently limits the number of directors at two and provides that each director on our Board must be elected annually. We believe that our long-term success is dependent on continuity and stability in the management of the Company. Staggering director terms, rather than electing directors annually, promotes stability and continuity in leadership and encourages development of long-term planning. Moreover, staggered terms enhance the independence of non-management directors and can facilitate more informed decision making. Further, electing directors to staggered terms helps to ensure that the majority of the Board has sufficient experience and knowledge of the Company such that they can contribute to the best long-term interests of the stockholders.

 

To further the stability of the Board and the policies formulated by the Board, the Board has unanimously approved and is proposing an amendment to the Company’s Bylaws to provide for directors to be elected to staggered terms. Directors of the Company presently are elected annually by the stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified.

 

The Amended Bylaws will provide for the Board to be divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-, two- and one-year terms. The Amended Bylaws divide the Board into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The first class, consisting of one director, has been elected for a three-year term expiring at the 2020 Annual Meeting. The second class, consisting of two directors, would be elected for a two-year term expiring at the 2019 Annual Meeting. The third class, consisting of up to four directors, would be elected for a one-year term expiring at the 2018 Annual Meeting (and in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified). At each annual meeting, a number of directors shall be elected equal to the number of directors whose terms shall have expired at the time of such meeting.

 

The Amended Bylaws also provides that a vacancy on the Board may be filled by the remaining directors, acting by majority vote. Any director so chosen to fill a vacancy will hold office until the next election of the class for which he or she has been chosen and until their respective successor shall have been elected and qualified.

 

Information concerning the new directors to be appointed upon effectiveness of the Actions and the terms for which they will serve is set forth below.

 

ANTI-TAKEOVER IMPLICATIONS

 

A classified board may make it more difficult for stockholders to change the majority of directors even when the only reason for the change may be the performance of the present directors. This provision would apply to every election of directors, rather than only an election occurring after a change in control of the Company.

 

The staggered and classified Board is not being enacted for the foregoing reasons, but rather because the Board and the Voting Stockholders believed it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders in order to help ensure stability and continuity in the management of the Company’s business and affairs. Although no proxy contest or attempt to replace all of the board members has occurred to date, the Board and Voting Stockholders believed that the longer time required to elect a majority of a classified Board will help to prevent the occurrence of such problems in the future. Adoption of a classified board will encourage a purchaser to negotiate directly with the Company. Moreover, the Board and Voting Stockholders believed that stockholders are more likely to be treated fairly in a transaction negotiated by directors than in one accomplished without the required approval of such directors. Furthermore, the Board believes that it is in a better position than an individual stockholder of the Company to negotiate effectively on behalf of all stockholders in a proxy contest situation.

 

The Company is not aware of any specific effort to accumulate the Company’s stock or to obtain control of the Company or its Board by means of a solicitation in opposition to management; therefore, this amendment is not raised in response to such an effort. However, in the event such an effort arises, the adoption of the Amended Bylaws will enhance the ability of management to resist the effort. Although the Board may review other possible anti-takeover programs, the Board has no present intention of proposing additional amendments to the Bylaws that would affect the ability of a third party to change control of the Company.

 

ACTION 3. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

Bingham stockholders generally elect the members of the board of directors annually. Bingham’s board of directors at the time of the Written Consent consisted of two members; Gary J. Grieco and Gregory W. Albers. The election of Bingham directors required a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at an annual meeting or by a majority consent of Bingham’s stockholders in accordance with the NRS and Amended Bylaws. In accordance with the Written Consent, stockholders holding a majority of Bingham’s outstanding shares of common stock voted to elect Gary J. Grieco, Gregory W. Albers, Paul Branagan, Francis J. Read, and William E. Prince as board members.  

 

Name   Age   Position(s) Held   Class of Director   Director Term
Gary J. Grieco     76     Existing Director and President   Class I   Three Years
Gregory W. Albers     68     Existing Director and Secretary/Treasurer   Class II   Two Years
Paul Branagan     74     Newly Appointed Director   Class II   Two Years

The Amended Bylaws allow for the appointment of up to seven directors. The Board may appoint up to two additional Class III directors to fill such vacancies at any time prior to the next annual meeting or at any time there is a vacancy on the Board.

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that as of the date of this information statement they were all current in their filings. 

 

Code of Ethics

 

Since Bingham had only two persons serving as executive officers and directors during 2017, we have not adopted a code of ethics for our principal executive and financial officers. Our newly appointed board of directors intends to address this issue in the future and adopt a code of ethics as appropriate. In the meantime, our management intends to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and fair disclosure in our reports to the SEC, and comply with applicable governmental laws and regulations.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Bingham is a smaller reporting company which had only two directors and officers during 2017. As a result, we did not have a standing nominating committee for directors, nor did we have an audit committee with an audit committee financial expert serving on that committee. Our entire board of directors acted as our nominating and audit committee. Our newly appointed board of directors intends to address these issues in the future and enact committees as appropriate.

 

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

 

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board or a particular director may send a letter to the Secretary of the Company at 4235 Commerce Street, Little River, South Carolina 29566. The mailing envelope must contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a “Stockholder-Board Communication” or “Stockholder-Director Communication.” All such letters must identify the author as a stockholder and clearly state whether the intended recipients are all members of the Board or just certain specified individual Directors. The Secretary will make copies of all such letters and circulate them to the appropriate director or Directors.

The following table sets forth the names and positions of Bingham’s executive officers and directors as of the date of the Written Consent.

Limitation of Liability of Directors

 

Pursuant to the NRS, the Company’s articles of incorporation exclude personal liability for its directors for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as directors, except as to liability for any 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 any transaction from which a director receives an improper personal benefit. This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which a director may have to be indemnified and does not affect any director’s liability under federal or applicable state securities laws. The Company has agreed to indemnify its directors against expenses, judgments, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim against a director if he acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in the Company’s best interests.

 

Election of Officers

 

Officers are appointed to serve until the meeting of the board of directors following the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 

Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC served as our principal independent public accountants for fiscal 2016 and 2015 years. Aggregate fees billed to us for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 by Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC were as follows:

Audit fees represent fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountants for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our Forms 10-Q or services that are normally provided by our principal accountants in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

 

Audit-related fees represent professional services rendered for assurance and related services by the accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements that are not reported under audit fees.

 

Tax fees represent professional services rendered by the accounting firm for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.

 

All other fees represent fees billed for products and services provided by the accounting firm, other than the services reported for the other three categories.

 

Pre-approval Policies

 

Bingham does not have an audit committee currently serving and as a result our board of directors performs the duties of an audit committee. Our board of directors will evaluate and approve in advance the scope and cost of the engagement of an auditor. All services rendered by our principal accountant are performed pursuant to a written engagement letter between us and the principal accountant. We do not rely on pre-approval policies and procedures.

Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given either personally or by first-class mail or telegraphic or other written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the address of such stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the stockholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice. If no such address appears on the corporation's books or is given, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent by mail or telegram to the corporation's principal executive office, or if published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where this office is located. Personal delivery of any such notice to any officer of a corporation or association or to any member of a partnership shall constitute delivery of such notice to such corporation, association or partnership. Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by telegram or other means of written communication. In the event of the transfer of stock after delivery or mailing of the notice of and prior to the holding of the meeting, it shall not be necessary to deliver or mail notice of the meeting to the transferee.

 

If any notice addressed to a stockholder at the address of such stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice to the stockholder at such address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if the same shall be available to the stockholder upon written demand of the stockholder at the principal executive office of the corporation for a period of one year from the date of the giving of such notice.

 

An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any stockholders' meeting shall be executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any transfer agent of the corporation giving such notice, and shall be filed and maintained in the minute book of the corporation.

 

Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

 

Section 6. QUORUM . The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of one-third (33%) of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or the articles of incorporation. The stockholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.

 

Section 7. ADJOURNED MEETING AND NOTICE THEREOF . Any stockholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at such meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at such meeting.

 

When any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at a meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At any adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

Section 8. VOTING . Unless a record date set for voting purposes be fixed as provided in Section 1 of Article VII of these bylaws, only persons in whose names shares entitled to vote stand on the stock records of the corporation at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given (or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held) shall be entitled to vote at such meeting. Any stockholder entitled to vote on any matter other than elections of directors or officers, may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, but, if the stockholder fails to specify the number of shares such stockholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the stockholder's approving vote is with respect to all shares such stockholder is entitled to vote. Such vote may be by voice vote or by ballot; provided, however, that all elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand by a stockholder at any election and before the voting begins.

 

When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the articles of incorporation a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Every stockholder of record of the corporation shall be entitled at each meeting of stockholders to one vote for each share of stock standing in his name on the books of the corporation.

 

Section 9. WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT STOCKHOLDERS . The transactions at any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each person entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any regular or special meeting of stockholders, except that if action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters specified in the second paragraph of Section 4 of this Article II, the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of such proposal. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

 

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not included in the notice if such objection is expressly made at the meeting.

 

Section 10. STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING . Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. All such consents shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records. Any stockholder giving a written consent, or the stockholder's proxy holders, or a transferee of the shares of a personal representative of the stockholder of their respective proxy holders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by the secretary of the corporation prior to the time that written consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the secretary.

 

Section 11. PROXIES . Every person entitled to vote for directors or on any other matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the secretary of the corporation. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder's attorney in fact. A validly executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless revoked by the person executing it, prior to the vote pursuant thereto, by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by the person executing the proxy; provided, however, that no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of such proxy, 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. Subject to the above and the provisions of Section 78.355 of the Nevada General Corporation Law, any proxy duly executed is not revoked and continues in full force and effect until an instrument revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date is filed with the secretary of the corporation.

 

Section 12. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION . Before any meeting of stockholders, the board of directors may appoint any persons other than nominees for office to act as inspectors of election at the meeting or its adjournment. If no inspectors of election are appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and on the request of any stockholder or his proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more stockholders or proxies, the holders of a majority of shares or their proxies present at the meeting shall determine whether one (1) or three (3) inspectors are to be appointed. If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment by the board of directors before the meeting, or by the chairman at the meeting.

 

The duties of these inspectors shall be as follows:

 

(a) Determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies;

 

(b) Receive votes, ballots, or consents;

 

(c) Hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote;

 

(d) Count and tabulate all votes or consents;

 

(e) Determine the election result; and

 

(f) Do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.

 

ARTICLE III

 

DIRECTORS

 

Section 1. POWERS . Subject to the provisions of the Nevada General Corporation Law and any limitations in the articles of incorporation and these bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the board of directors.

 

Without prejudice to such general powers, but subject to the same limitations, it is hereby expressly declared that the directors shall have the power and authority to:

 

(a) Select and remove all officers, agents, and employees of the corporation, prescribe such powers and duties for them as may not be inconsistent with law, with the articles of incorporation or these bylaws, fix their compensation, and require from them security for faithful service.

 

(b) Change the principal executive office or the principal business office from one location to another; cause the corporation to be qualified to do business in any other state, territory, dependency, or foreign country and conduct business within or without the State; designate any place within or without the State for the holding of any stockholders' meeting, or meetings, including annual meetings; adopt, make and use a corporate seal, and prescribe the forms of certificates of stock, and alter the form of such seal and of such certificates from time to time as in their judgment they may deem best, provided that such forms shall at all times comply with the provisions of law.

 

(c) Authorize the issuance of shares of stock of the corporation from time to time, upon such terms as may be lawful, in consideration of money paid, labor done or services actually rendered, debts or securities cancelled, or tangible or intangible property actually received.

 

(d) Borrow money and incur indebtedness for the purpose of the corporation, and cause to be executed and delivered therefor, in the corporate name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds of trust, mortgages, pledges, hypothecations, or other evidences of debt and securities therefor.

 

Section 2. NUMBER, TERM, AND QUALIFICATIONS . The number of directors which shall constitute the board, subject to the limitations set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, shall be determined by resolution of a majority of the total number of directors if there were no vacancies (the "Whole Board"), or by the stockholders at the annual meeting of the stockholders or a special meeting called for such purpose. Directors need not be residents of the state of incorporation or stockholders of the corporation.

 

Section 3. CLASSIFIED BOARD . The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class I consisting of one director, Class II consisting of two directors and Class III consisting of up to four directors. The director of the first class (Class I) shall be elected to hold office for a three-year term. Directors of the second class (Class II) shall be elected to hold office for a two-year term. Directors of the third class (Class III) shall be elected to hold office for a one-year term. The directors in each group shall hold office until their terms expire and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. At each annual meeting, a number of directors shall be elected equal to the number of directors whose terms shall have expired at the time of such meeting.

 

Section 4. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS . Any director may resign effective upon giving written notice to the chairman of the board, the president, the secretary or the board of directors of the corporation, unless the notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness of such resignation, in which case such resignation shall be effective at the time specified. Unless such resignation specifies otherwise, its acceptance by the corporation shall not be necessary to make it effective. The board of directors may declare vacant the office of a director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of a court or convicted of a felony. Any or all of the directors may be removed without cause if such removal is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before his term of office expires.

 

Section 5. VACANCIES . Vacancies in the board of directors, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Each director so elected shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders and until a successor has been elected and qualified.

 

A vacancy in the board of directors exists as to any authorized position of directors which is not then filled by a duly elected director, whether caused by death, resignation, removal, increase in the authorized number of directors or otherwise.

 

The stockholders may elect a director or directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the directors, but any such election by written consent shall require the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. If the resignation of a director is effective at a future time, the board of directors may elect a successor to take office when the resignation becomes effective.

 

If after the filling of any vacancy by the directors, the directors then in office who have been elected by the stockholders shall constitute less than a majority of the directors then in office, any holder or holders of an aggregate of five percent or more of the total number of shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors may call a special meeting of the stockholders to elect the entire board. The term of office of any director not elected by the stockholders shall terminate upon the election of a successor.

 

Section 6. PLACE OF MEETINGS . Regular meetings of the board of directors shall be held at any place within or without the State of Nevada that has been designated from time to time by resolution of the board. In the absence of such designation, regular meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation.

Section 8. OTHER REGULAR MEETINGS . Other regular meetings of the board of directors shall be held without call at such time as shall from time to time be fixed by the board of directors. Such regular meetings may be held without notice, provided the notice of any change in the time of any such meetings shall be given to all of the directors. Notice of a change in the determination of the time shall be given to each director in the same manner as notice for special meetings of the board of directors.

 

Section 9. SPECIAL MEETINGS . Special meetings of the board of directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the chairman of the board or the president or any vice president or the secretary or any two directors.

In case such notice is mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four (4) days prior to the time of the holding of the meeting. In case such notice is delivered personally, or by telephone or facsimile, it shall be delivered personally or by telephone or facsimile at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be communicated to either the director or to a person at the office of the director who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the director. The notice need not specify the purpose of the meeting nor the place if the meeting is to be held at the principal executive office of the corporation.

 

Section 10. QUORUM . A majority of the Whole Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except to adjourn as hereinafter provided. Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the Whole Board present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Whole Board, subject to the provisions of Section 78.140 of the Nevada General Corporation Law (approval of contracts or transactions in which a director has a direct or indirect material financial interest), Section 78.125 (appointment of committees), and Section 78.751 (indemnification of directors). A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for such meeting.

 

Section 11. WAIVER OF NOTICE . The transactions of any meeting of the board of directors, however called and noticed or wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum be present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. The waiver of notice of consent need not specify the purpose of the meeting. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Notice of a meeting shall also be deemed given to any director who attends the meeting without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice to such director.

 

Section 12. ADJOURNMENT . A majority of the directors present, whether or not constituting a quorum, may adjourn any meeting to another time and place.

 

Section 13. NOTICE OF ADJOURNMENT .

Section 14. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING . Any action required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the board shall individually or collectively consent in writing to such action. Such action by written consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the board of directors. Such written consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board.

 

Section 15. FEES AND COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS . Directors and members of committees may receive such compensation, if any, for their services, and such reimbursement of expenses, as may be fixed or determined by resolution of the board of directors. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity as an officer, agent, employee, or otherwise, and receiving compensation for such services. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

ARTICLE VI

 

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES,

AND OTHER AGENTS

 

Section 1. ACTIONS OTHER THAN BY THE CORPORATION . The corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 2. ACTIONS BY THE CORPORATION . The corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

Section 3. SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE .

If the board of directors does not so fix a record date:

 

(a) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

 

(b) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given.

 

(c) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board adopts the resolution relating thereto, or the sixtieth (60th) day prior to the date of such other action, whichever is later.

 

Section 2. CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS . The directors may prescribe a period not exceeding sixty (60) days prior to any meeting of the stockholders during which no transfer of stock on the books of the corporation may be made, or may fix a date not more than sixty (60) days prior to the holding of any such meeting as the day as of which stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting shall be determined; and only stockholders of record on such day shall be entitled to notice or to vote at such meeting.

 

Section 3. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS . The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Nevada.

Section 5. CORPORATE CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS; HOW EXECUTED . The board of directors, except as in the bylaws otherwise provided, may authorize any officer or officers, agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances; and, unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within the agency power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or to any amount.

 

Section 6. STOCK CERTIFICATES . A certificate or certificates for shares of the capital stock of the corporation shall be issued to each stockholder when any such shares are fully paid, and the board of directors may authorize the issuance of certificates or shares as partly paid provided that such certificates shall state the amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon. All certificates shall be signed in the name of the corporation by the president or vice president and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or any assistant secretary, certifying the number of shares and the class or series of shares owned by the stockholder. When the corporation is authorized to issue shares of more than one class or more than one series of any class, there shall be set forth upon the face or back of the certificate, or the certificate shall have a statement that the corporation will furnish to any stockholders upon request and without charge, a full or summary statement of the designations, preferences and relatives, participating, optional or other special rights of the various classes of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such rights, and, if the corporation shall be authorized to issue only special stock, such certificate must set forth in full or summarize the rights of the holders of such stock. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were an officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

 

No new certificate for shares shall be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued unless the latter is surrendered and canceled at the same time; provided, however, that a new certificate may be issued without the surrender and cancellation of the old certificate if the certificate thereto fore issued is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. In case of any such allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the corporation may require the owner thereof or the legal representative of such owner to give the corporation a bond (or other adequate security) sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it (including any expense or liability) on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or for such other purpose as the directors shall think conducive to the interest of the corporation, and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserves in the manner in which it was created.
