Certain Provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company contain certain provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuances without shareholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise

 

Vacancies and Removal of Directors

 

Our Bylaws provide that directors may be removed in the manner provided by the CBCA, which, among other things, states that a director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove the director would be sufficient to elect the director at a meeting to elect directors. The number of directors of the corporation shall be fixed from time to time by the board of directors, but in no instance shall there be less than one director or that number otherwise required by law and no decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. Any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors remaining in office.

 

Special Meetings

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that special meetings of our shareholders may be called only by the Board, the president or shareholders representing at least ten percent of all the votes entitled to be case on any issue proposed to be considered at the meeting.

 

Advance Notice Requirement

 

Our Bylaws set forth advance notice procedures with regard to annual and special shareholder meetings. These procedures provide that notice of any shareholder meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, except (i) if the number of authorized shares is to be increased at the meeting, at last thirty days’ notice shall be given, or (ii) any other longer notice period is required by the CBCA. In addition, the notice must contain a description of the purpose of the meeting in certain cases described in the Bylaws for annual meetings and in all cases for special meetings.

 

Our Bylaws also set forth advance notice procedures with regard to special meetings of the Board. Notice of the date, time and place of any special meeting of the Board shall be given to each director at least two days prior to the meeting by written notice.

 

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that subject to certain requirements the Company shall indemnify any directors or officers against reasonably incurred expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines (including any excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. In addition, our Bylaws permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether the Bylaws or Colorado law would permit indemnification.
