Our
Board
of Directors is comprised of one director of one class. Each director is
elected
to hold office until the next Special Meeting of stockholders and until his
successor has been elected and qualified. The following is a brief description
of the background and experience of our director and officers.
Steven
E. Humphries
has been
Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer and Director since August 2006. During
his
thirty-year career in the broadcast industry, Mr. Humphries gained extensive
executive experience and has started, managed, operated, and consulted with
numerous radio stations and broadcast groups, specializing in Spanish language

Marketing Group, LLC (“HMG”), a full-service automotive boutique advertising
agency he founded in 2003. He
attended the University of Oklahoma from 1970 through 1971.
David
L.Wange

Chief Financial Officer since May 2007. Prior thereto he was a consultant
in
Dallas, Texas, specializing in Sarbanes-Oxley Act and audit consulting. His
clients included brokerage firms, private equity firms, retail merchandisers,
certified public accounting firms, and a major consulting firm. From 2003
through 2005, Mr. Wange was an account executive for RHMHR, Inc., a Dallas

Committees
of the Board of Directors
Audit
Committee. We
have
no audit committee of the Board of Directors. We are exempt from the Securities
and Exchange Commission requirements for a separate audit
committee.
No
Compensation Committee. We
have
no compensation committee of the Board of Directors. The entire board acts
as
our compensation committee. Transactions between Mr. Humphries, HMG and us
are
not conducted at arm's-length. These include their compensation arrangements
set
forth in Executive
Compensation
and the
transactions set forth in Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence
below.
Mr. Humphries, without any independent authorization, review or oversight
sets
the terms of these arrangements and transactions. There can be no assurance
that
the terms thereof are comparable to those that would be negotiated at
arm's-length or otherwise fair and reasonable, despite the good faith belief
of
Mr. Humphries that they are.
Meetings
of Directors
There
were no formal meetings of the Board of Directors and no formal meeting of
committees thereof in 2007. The board acted by unanimous consent five times
in
2007. We have adopted a policy that all directors must attend the Special
Meeting of directors following the stockholders meeting and two-thirds of
all
other meetings of directors.
Codes
of Ethics
During
2008, we adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that addresses, among
other things, conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, confidentiality,
fair dealing, protection and use of company assets, compliance with laws
(including insider trading laws), and reporting of unethical behavior. The
Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics is applicable to our directors, officers and
all
employees.
In
addition, we have adopted a Finance Code of Ethics that requires honest and
ethical business conduct, full, accurate and timely financial disclosures,
compliance with all laws, rules and regulations governing our business, and
prompt internal reporting of any violations of the code. The Finance Code
of
Ethics is applicable to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
Controller (there is no Controller at this time) and all finance employees.
We
intend to satisfy the disclosure requirements under Item 10 of Form 8-K
regarding any amendment to or waiver of the Code of Ethics with respect to
our
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller, and persons
performing similar functions, by posting such information on our website.
Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Our
directors and executive officers failed to file on a timely basis reports
required by Section 16(a), including Forms 3, 4 and 5 during the three most
recent fiscal years and the year to date. With respect to Mr. Humphries there
were seven late reports covering four transactions that were not reported
on a
timely basis. With respect to Mr. Wange, there were three late
reports covering one transaction that was not reported on a timely basis.
With
respect to Mr. Scaturro, there were four late reports covering three
transactions that were not reported on a timely basis. With respect to Mr.
Sharma, there were four late reports covering two transactions that were
not
reported on a timely basis. As of the date hereof, all reports required by
Section 16(a) have been filed and are available on our web site
www.dealeradvance.com.

14, 2006, Mr. Carey a former director and officer and a principal stockholder,
entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Company pursuant to which Mr.
Carey
waived all rights to the following: accrued salary in the amount of $781,369;
a
bridge loan in the amount of $262,000; a bridge loan in the amount of $360,000;
auto allowance payable in the amount of $25,600; and, accrued interest in
the
amount of $370,299. In consideration of this waiver, the Company agreed to
pay
Mr. Carey $8,000 a month over a period of 15 months, now modified to $2,150
per
month, issue Mr. Carey a convertible note in the amount of $661,369 (the
"Carey
Note") and issue Mr. Carey 5,117 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock
with an aggregate stated value of $1,017,899. The Carey Note matures on August
13, 2016, bears no interest and is convertible at the option of Mr. Carey
at the
market price of the Company's common stock. The shares of Series D Preferred
Stock are convertible by dividing the stated value by the closing bid price
on
the day immediately prior to conversion.
We
believe that the terms of all of the above transactions are commercially
reasonable and no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from an
unaffiliated third party on an arm's length basis. However, the loans to
Mr.
Humphries and HMG violate the prohibition on loans to executives under Section
13(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (402 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act
of
2002) that makes it unlawful for us to extend credit in the form of a personal
loan to or for any director or executive officer. As a result, despite the
fact
that a portion of such loans were repaid, we, along with Mr. Humphries and
HMG may be subject to fines, sanctions and/or penalties. Section 32 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 provides for a fine to us of up to $25,000,000
and a fine to Mr. Humphries of not more than $5,000,000 or imprisonment of
up to
20 years, or both for Mr. Humphries. At this time, we are unable to determine
the amount of such fines, sanctions and/or penalties that may be
incurred.
For
additional transactions with management, see also Executive
Compensation – Employment and Other Compensation-Related Agreements with
Management.
Recapitalization
Agreement
We
intend
to enter into a Recapitalization Agreement (the “Recapitalization
Agreement”) with AJW Partners, Inc., AJW Offshore, Ltd., AJW Qualified Partners,
LLC, and New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Investors") and ancillary agreements (the “Transaction
Agreements”). Under the Recapitalization Agreement, we will sell the
Investors $28,515,825 in aggregate principal amount of Callable Secured
Convertible Notes (the "New Convertible Notes") in exchange for $9,472,060
in
aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes described
in Item 13. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions and Director
Independence
in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2007.
The New
Convertible Notes will be due in three years and bear interest at 6%
annual interest payable quarterly. The Investors may convert the New Convertible
Notes into shares at 70% of the three lowest intraday trading prices during
the
twenty trading days prior to conversion, except for those
New
Convertible Notes for which the applicable percentage is 84%.
The
effect of the Recapitalization Agreement will be to refinance our existing
indebtedness to the Investors. The amount of that indebtedness will increase
by
$17,285,170,
while the interest rate will be decreased to 6%, the due
date will be extended until May 15, 2011, and prior technical defaults
will be waived.
The
Stock
Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) previously issued to the Investors will
remain in full force and effect as described in Item 13. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence - Securities
Purchase Agreement
in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2007.
Based
on
the conversion price of $. 0008 on May15, 2008 the principal amount of
New
Convertible Notes can be converted into a minimum of approximately 36 billion
shares. Additional shares may be issued if accrued interest is converted.
Management believes that the actual conversion price may be lower and more
than
the minimum number of shares may be issued when the New Convertible Notes
are
converted.
As
the
purpose of this transaction is to refinance our existing indebtedness,
we will
not receive any proceeds from issuing the New Convertible Notes.
The
conversion price of the New Convertible Notes and the exercise price of
the
Warrants will be adjusted in the event that we issue common stock at a
price
below the fixed conversion price or below market price. The conversion
price of
the New Convertible Notes and the exercise price of the Warrants may be
adjusted
in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide
or
combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number
of
shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution
of the
Investors’ positions.
Payment
of the New Convertible Notes will be secured by all of our assets pursuant
to a
Security Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement.
Pursuant
to a Registration Rights Agreement we will agree to file a registration
statement to register on request by the Investors the shares underlying
the New
Convertible Notes and Warrants.
We
will
be subject to the payment of certain penalties and damages in the event
we do
not satisfy our obligations under the Transaction Agreements including
those
with respect to registration of the shares underlying the New Convertible
Notes
and Warrants.

To
safeguard the continued independence of the independent auditors, the Board
has
adopted a policy that expands our existing policy preventing our independent
auditors from providing services to us that are prohibited under Section
10A(g)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This policy also provides
that independent auditors are only permitted to provide services to the Company
that have been pre-approved by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the policy,
all audit services require advance approval by the directors. All other services
by the independent auditors that fall within certain designated dollar
thresholds, both per engagement as well as annual aggregate, have been
pre-approved under the policy. Different dollar thresholds apply to the three
categories of pre-approved services specified in the policy (Audit Related
services, Tax services and other services). The directors must approve all
services that exceed the dollar thresholds in advance.
Proposal
1. Election of Directors
Our
Bylaws provide for one director. Directors are elected annually and hold
office
until the next Special Meeting of stockholders, until their respective
successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation
or removal. The Board of Directors intends to appoint a nominee for director
to
fill this vacancy as soon as possible. It is intended that the proxies solicited
hereby will be voted "for" election of the following nominee unless otherwise
specified: Steven E. Humphries. Steven E. Humphries is the director of the
Company. For a description of his background and experience, including his
principal occupations during the past five years and the name and principal
business in which such occupations were carried on, and the nominating process,
please refer to Directors
and Executive Officers; Corporate Governance.
Proposal
2. Approval of Restated Articles of Incorporation with Amendments to increase
our authorized common stock to 100,000,000,000 shares.
Our
Board
of Directors approved Restated Articles of Incorporation with Amendments
to
increase our authorized capital to 100,000,000,000 shares of common stock
and
1,000,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The full text of the Restated Articles
of Incorporation with Amendments is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit
A.
Reasons
for proposal
Our
Board
of Directors believes that the amendment is in the best interests of our
stockholders and us. We have almost exhausted our authorized capital. On
the
record date we had 8,500,000,000 shares of common stock authorized. We believe
that after the increase is approved, we will have a sufficient number of
authorized shares to meet our obligations to issue additional shares and
for
future contingencies.
The
increase in authorized capital is required in connection with the issue of
Notes
and Warrants described in Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence — Securities
Purchase Agreements.
We do
not have sufficient shares authorized and available to issue upon the conversion
of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants. We are obligated to issue
an
estimated 36,000,000,000 shares upon conversion of our outstanding Notes
and the
exercise of outstanding Warrants issued in connection with the Securities
Purchase Agreements. Under those agreements, we agreed to convene a meeting
of
the stockholders to increase the number of authorized shares.
If
we are
unsuccessful in timely increasing our authorized number of shares of common
stock, we will be in default under the Securities Purchase Agreements and
could
face significant adverse consequences. Those consequences include, among
other
things, payment of substantial penalties, our need to repay in cash the
Notes,
and/or the loss of our assets through foreclosure by the Investors of their
security interests. Any of these events may have a material adverse effect
on
our business, operations, financial condition, and cash flow. As of the
date of
this proxy statement, we are in default under our agreements with the Investors
because we do not have a sufficient number of authorized shares reserved
for
issuance upon the conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants,
and
we will be in default under our agreements with the Investors if we exhaust
our
authorized capital.
We
have
no other specific plans to issue common stock or preferred stock other
than to
issue common stock upon the conversion of notes, the exercise of the Warrants
and stock awards under the Plan.
Interest
of Management in Restated Articles of Incorporation with
Amendments
Management
does not have a direct or indirect material interest in the proposed Restated
Articles of Incorporation with Amendments.
Proposed
changes in authorized capital
Under
the
Restated Articles of Incorporation with Amendments, our authorized capital
stock
will be 100,000,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, and
1,000,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value. Our authorized
capital
is 8,500,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000,000 shares of preferred
stock. Under the Restated Articles of Incorporation with Amendments, the
Board
of Directors in the future may increase or decrease the number of issued
and
outstanding shares of authorized capital stock without or without
correspondingly decreasing the number of authorized shares of the same
class or
series.
Shares
of
common stock may be issued from time to time as the Board of Directors may
determine. Holders of common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends
as
may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available
therefor after the requirements with respect to preferential dividends on
the
preferred stock, if any, have been met, and we have complied with all other
requirements and subject to any other conditions relating to the preferred
stock. In the event of liquidation, holders of common stock will be entitled
to
a proportionate share in any distribution of our assets after the payment
of
liabilities and after distribution in full of preferential amounts, if any,
to
be distributed to holders of the preferred stock. Holders of common stock
will
not have preemptive rights. Each share of common stock will be entitled to
one
vote, and cumulative voting will not be permitted in the election of
directors.
At
such
time as there will be six or more directors, these directors will be elected
in
three classes for terms of up to three years, and vacancies that occur during
the year may be filled by the Board of Directors to serve for the remainder
of
the full term.
Shares
of
preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as
may be
determined by the Board of Directors. The voting powers, the preferences,
the
relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each such series,
and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof shall be established
by the Board of Directors except that no holder of preferred stock shall
have
preemptive rights.
A
quorum
for the transaction of business at any meeting of the stockholders will be
one-third of the shares entitled to vote. The affirmative vote of the holders
of
at least a majority of the shares voted at a meeting of the stockholders
at
which a quorum is present will constitute stockholder approval of matters
to be
acted upon by the stockholders. However, in the case of a sale or other transfer
of substantially all our assets, liquidation, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, or similar type of extraordinary corporate transaction with
a
beneficial owner of 10% or more of such shares, the affirmative vote of
two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote thereon will constitute approval
unless such transaction is with an affiliate or subsidiary, or the transaction
is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of our continuing directors.
Continuing directors will be those directors who were our directors prior
to the
beneficial owner of 10% or more becoming a beneficial owner or affiliate,
or who
are designated continuing directors prior to or at their first election as
directors.
Stockholders
may act by written consent of a majority of the shares entitled to vote,
subject
to any greater voting requirements as set forth above.
Possible
anti-takeover effect
Although
our Board of Directors has no current plans to use the additional shares
of
common stock, "blank check" preferred stock, classification of directors,
cumulative voting and greater than a majority voting requirements to entrench
present management, the foregoing are considered anti-takeover measures to
prevent hostile takeover attempts. To the knowledge of management, no hostile
takeover attempts are presently threatened or contemplated.
Proposal
3. Approval of First Amendment to Restated Articles of Incorporation with
Amendments to approve a one for one hundred reverse stock
split.
General
Our
Board
of Directors has unanimously adopted a resolution approving the First Amendment
to the Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation with Amendments to
effect
a one-for-one hundred reverse split of our outstanding common stock without
affecting the number of authorized shares of common stock. The full text
of the
First Amendment to Restated Articles of Incorporation with Amendments is
attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit B.
If
the
stockholders approve this proposal, the Board of Directors will have the
authority to effect the reverse stock split by filing the First Amendment
to the
Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation with Amendment with the Nevada
Secretary of State. The Board of Directors reserves the right not to effect
the
reverse split if it is no longer in the best interests of the Company and
its
stockholders. A vote FOR Proposal Three will include authorization for the
board
of directors to not to proceed.
Reasons
for the Reverse Split
Management
believes the reverse split is in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders. Management believes the reverse split is required in connection
with the issue of Notes and Warrants described in Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence— Securities
Purchase Agreements.
We do
not have sufficient shares authorized and available to issue upon the conversion
of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants. Management also believes that
the
reverse split may broaden the market for our common stock. The resulting
anticipated increased price level might encourage interest in our stock.
Brokerage house policies limit or in some cases prevent trading low-priced
stocks. These policies include including fixed price commission schedules
that
result in investors effectively paying higher percentage commissions for
our
stock, limits on the number of shares per order, and other policies. We may
also
be hindered from offering stock options or stock grants to existing and
prospective employees, from raising additional capital through stock issuances
or from issuing stock in acquisitions. Based on the number of shares outstanding
on the record date, we will have approximately 100,000,000,000 shares of
authorized but unissued shares of common stock, after deducting shares
approximately 200,000,000,000 shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes
and
exercise of outstanding Warrants and possible Stock Awards under the Plan
(see
Executive
Compensation – Equity Compensation Plan Information).
These
additional shares would be available from time to time for all of these
purposes. Management currently has no present intention, plan, arrangement
or
agreement, written or oral, to issue shares for any purpose, except for the
issuance of shares of common stock upon the conversion of the outstanding
Notes,
the exercise of outstanding Warrants and Options and the granting of possible
Stock Awards under the Plan. The Board of Directors believes that the
availability of the additional shares will provide us with the flexibility
to
meet business needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities
and to respond to a changing corporate environment.
Risks
Associated with the Reverse Split
Although
the price of our stock is likely to increase with the reverse split, there
can
be no assurance that the market will sustain the increase. Our total market
capitalization may decrease after the reverse split. There will be fewer
shares
to trade; there may be reduced trading volume and less liquidity as a result.
There can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will result in a price
per share that will attract brokers and investors that restrict trading in
low
priced stocks.
One
result of the reverse split is to make available additional shares for the
Board
of Directors to issue in satisfaction of the rights of the Investors to convert
their Notes into shares, or at the discretion of the Board of Directors,
to
issue stock for acquisitions, to sell stock for cash, issue stock for services,
and to underlie stock awards pursuant to the Plan. Such issuances will dilute
existing stockholders.
Effective
Date; Effects of the Proposed Amendment
Once
approved, the reverse split will be effective at the close of the stock market
on the date the First Amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation
with
Amendments is filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. The reverse split
will
be effected simultaneously for all our common stock and the exchange ratio
will
be equal for all of our common stock. The reverse split will affect all of
our
stockholders uniformly and will not affect any holder’s percentage ownership
interests in the Company. Our reporting requirements under the Securities
and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will not be affected.
In
connection with the reverse stock split, our common stock will change its
CUSIP
number. This new CUSIP number will appear on any new stock certificates issued
representing shares of our post-split common stock. If the reverse split
results
in you owning a fractional share, we will round up the number of shares to
a
whole number.
The
number of shares you hold will automatically be reduced without any further
action on your part and without regard to the date that you physically surrender
your certificates to our transfer agent. Each certificate representing pre-split
shares of common stock will, until surrendered and exchanged as described
above,
be deemed cancelled and, for all corporate purposes, will be deemed to represent
only the number of post-split shares as a result of the reverse stock split.
Note that you will not be entitled to receive any dividends or other
distributions payable by us after the reverse stock split is effective until
you
surrender and exchange your certificates. If we issue and pay any dividends
or
make any distributions, these amounts will be withheld, accumulate and be
paid
to you, without interest, once you surrender your certificates for exchange.
We
have no current plans to pay any dividends or to make any
distributions.
Federal
Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split
The
following is a summary of certain material federal income tax consequences
of
the reverse stock split and does not purport to be a complete discussion
of all
of the possible United States federal income tax consequences of the reverse
split and is included for general information only. Further, it does not
address
any state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences. For example,
the
state and local tax consequences of the reverse stock split may vary
significantly as to each stockholder, depending upon the state in which such
stockholder resides. Also, it does not address the tax consequences to holders
that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies,
regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities,
nonresident alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities. The
discussion is based on the provisions of the United States federal income
tax
law as of the date hereof, which is subject to change retroactively as well
as
prospectively. This summary also assumes that the old shares were, and the
new
shares will be, held as a “capital asset,” as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (generally, property held for investment).
The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending upon the particular
facts
and circumstances of such stockholder. Each stockholder is urged to consult
with
such stockholder’s own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the
reverse split.
It
is the
understanding of management that the reverse split will constitute a tax-free
recapitalization under the Code and that we should not recognize any gain
or
loss as a result of the reverse split. In addition, our stockholders should
not
recognize any gain or loss. Although the issue is not free from doubt, receipt
of an additional whole shares of common stock received in lieu of the receipt
of
a fractional share should be treated in the same manner and the stockholder
should recognize no gain or loss as a result of the reverse stock split.
However, it is possible that the receipt of additional shares could be wholly
or
partially taxable. The stockholder should consult a tax advisor to determine
which of these treatments will apply upon the receipt of a whole share of
common
stock in lieu of a fractional share of common stock.
Management
also understands that a stockholder’s aggregate basis in post-split shares of
common stock will equal the aggregate basis in the pre-split shares of common
stock owned by that stockholder that are exchanged for the post-split shares
of
common stock. Generally, the aggregate basis will be allocated among the
post-split shares on a pro rata basis, however, if a stockholder has used
the
specific identification method to identify the basis in pre-split shares
of
common stock surrendered in the reverse stock split, the stockholder should
consult a tax advisor to determine the basis in the post-split shares. The
holding period of the post-split common stock received by a stockholder will
generally include the stockholder’s holding period for the shares of pre-split
common stock with respect to which post-split shares of common stock are
issued,
provided that the shares of pre-split common stock were held as a capital
asset
on the date of the exchange.
The
understanding of management regarding the tax consequences of the reverse
split
is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts and we have
not
sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences of the reverse
stock split. Accordingly, each stockholder should consult with its own tax
advisor with respect to all of the potential tax consequences of the reverse
stock.
Possible
Anti-Takeover Effect
Although
the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to be issued could,
under
certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting
issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect
a
change in the composition of our Board of Directors or contemplating a tender
offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another
company), the reverse split proposal is not being proposed in response to
any
effort of which we are aware to accumulate shares of our common stock or
obtain
control of us, nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series
of
similar amendments to our board of directors and stockholders. Other than
the
proposal to adopt the Restated Articles of Incorporation with Amendments
and
this proposal, the Board of Directors does not currently contemplate
recommending the adoption of any other actions that could be construed to
affect
the ability of third parties to take over or change control of the
Company.
Accounting
Effects of the Reverse Split
Following
the effective date of the reverse stock split, the par value of our Common
Stock
will change from $.0001 par value per share to no par value. There
will be one-one hundredth as many outstanding shares as before. The aggregate
par value of all the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, and
stated capital will not change. All share and per share information in our
financial statements will be restated to reflect the reverse split for all
periods presented in our future reports. The amount of our stockholders’ equity
will remain unchanged following the effective date. Our existing obligations,
to
the extent they may be discharged with shares of common stock, will be
dischargeable with one one-hundredth the number of shares than before the
reverse split.
Interest
of Management in First Amendment to Restated Articles of Incorporation with
Amendments
Management
does not have a direct or indirect material interest in the First Amendment
to
Restated Articles of Incorporation with Amendments.
Vote
Required
The
affirmative vote of a majority of shares entitled to vote at Special Meeting
is
required to approve the First Amendment to the Restated Articles of
Incorporation with Amendments for a one-for-one-hundred reverse
split.
Recommendation
of our Board of Directors
The
Board
of Directors believes that approval of Proposal Three is in the best interests
of the Company and our stockholders for the reasons stated above. The board
of
directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” Proposal Three.
Other
Matters
Our
Board
of Directors knows of no other matters to be acted upon at the meeting. However,
if other matters should come before the Special Meeting, it is the intention
of
the proxies to vote each proxy in their discretion on such matters.

BOARD
OF
DIRECTORS
Section
1. Number
of Directors; Criteria.
The
business and affairs of this corporation shall be governed by the Board of
Directors, and the number of directors may from time to time be increased
or
decreased in such manner as shall be provided in the Bylaws of this
corporation.
Directors
of the corporation should have varied, complimentary backgrounds, proven
leadership capabilities, experience at a high level responsibility within
their
field, a grasp of the issues in business, finance and the business segments
in
which the corporation operates, the highest personal and professional ethics,
integrity and values, and commitment to the long-term interests of the
corporation’s stockholders.
Section
2. Classification
of Directors.
At such
time as there shall be six or more directors, the Board of Directors shall
be
divided into three classes, Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3, each class to be
as
nearly equal in number as possible, the term of office of Class 1 directors
to
expire at the first Special Meeting of stockholders after their election,
that
of Class 2 directors to expire at the second Special Meeting after their
election, and that of Class 3 directors to expire at the third Special Meeting
after their election. At each Special Meeting after such classification,
the
number of directors equal to the number of the class whose term expires at
the
time of such meeting shall be elected to hold office until the third succeeding
Special Meeting. No classification of directors shall be effective prior
to the
first Special Meeting of stockholders or at any time when the Board of Directors
consists of less than six members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except
as
otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series
of
Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect
one
or more directors of the Corporation, the term(s) of the director or directors
elected by such holders shall expire at the next succeeding Special Meeting
of
stockholders.
Section
3. Removal
of Directors.
At a
special stockholders’ meeting called expressly for that purpose, any or all
directors may be removed with or without cause by a vote of the holders of
a
majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of
directors.
Section
4. Nomination
of Directors.
(a)
Nominations for the election of directors may be made by the Board of Directors,
by committee of the Board of Directors, or by any stockholder entitled to
vote
for the election of directors who is the record and/or beneficial owner of
more
than one percent of the corporation’s shares for one year or more. Nominations
by stockholders shall be made by notice in writing, delivered or mailed by
first
class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the corporation
not less than 14 nor more than 50 days prior to any meeting of the stockholders
called for the election of directors; provided,
however,
that if
less than 21 days’ notice of the meeting is given to stockholders, such written
notice shall be delivered or mailed, as prescribed, to the Secretary of the
corporation not later than the close of the seventh day following the day
on
which notice of the meeting was mailed to stockholders.
(b)
Each
notice under subsection (a) shall set forth that the nominee meets the
corporation’s criteria for director, (b) the information required by Item 401 of
Regulation S-K of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934; and (c) be accompanied by a signed consent of the
candidate to serve as a director, if nominated and elected.
(c)
The
chairman of the stockholders’ meeting may, 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.

Section

ARTICLE
VII
CONFLICTS
OF INTEREST
Section
1. Conflict
of Interest Transaction.
A
conflict of interest transaction is a transaction with the corporation in
which
a director of the corporation has a direct or indirect interest. A conflict
of
interest transaction is not voidable by the corporation solely because of
the
director’s interest in the transaction if any one of the following is
true:
(a) The
material facts of the transaction and the director’s interest were disclosed or
known to the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors
and the
Board of Directors or committee authorized, approved or ratified the
transaction;
(b) The
material facts of the transaction and the director’s interest were disclosed or
known to the stockholders entitled to vote and they authorized, approved
or
ratified the transaction; or
(c) The
transaction was fair to the corporation.
Section
2. Indirect
Interest Defined.
For
purposes of this Article VII, a director of the corporation has an indirect
interest in a transaction if:
(a) Another
entity in which the director has a material financial interest or in which
the
director is a general partner is a party to the transaction; or
(b) Another
entity of which the director is a director, officer or trustee is a party
to the
transaction and the transaction is or should be considered by the Board of
Directors of the corporation.
3.
Director
Authorization.
For
purposes of subsection (1)(a) of this Article VII, a conflict of interest
transaction is authorized, approved or ratified if it receives the affirmative
vote of a majority of the directors on the Board of Directors, or of the
committee, who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction. A
transaction may not be authorized, approved or ratified under this section
by a
single director. If a majority of the directors who have no direct or indirect
interest in the transaction vote to authorize, approve or ratify the
transaction, a quorum is present for the purpose of taking action under this
section. The presence of, or a vote cast by, a director with a direct or
indirect interest in the transaction does not affect the validity of any
action
taken under Section (1)(a) of this Article VII if the transaction is otherwise
authorized, approved or ratified as provided in Section 1 of this Article
VII.
4.
Stockholder
Authorization.
For
purposes of Section (1)(b) of this Article VII, a conflict of interest
transaction is authorized, approved or ratified if it receives the vote of
a
majority of the shares entitled to be counted under this subsection, voting
as a
single voting group. Shares owned by or voted under the control of a director
who has a direct or indirect interest in the transaction, and shares owned
by or
voted under the control of an entity described in Section (2)(a) of this
Article
VII may be counted in a vote of stockholders to determine whether to authorize,
approve or ratify a conflict of interest transaction under Section (1)(b)
of
this Article VII. A majority of the shares, whether or not present, that
are
entitled to be counted in a vote on the transaction under this Article VII
constitutes a quorum for the purpose of taking action under this section.
Section
5. Corporate
Opportunities.
The
officers, directors and other members of management of this corporation shall
be
subject to the doctrine of corporate opportunities in which this corporation
has
expressed an interest as determined from time to time by resolution of the
Board
of Directors. When such areas of interest are delineated, all such business
opportunities within such areas of interest that come to the attention of
the
officers, directors and other members of management of this corporation shall
be
disclosed promptly to this corporation and made available to it. The Board
of
Directors may reject any business opportunity presented to it, and thereafter
any officer, director or other member of management may avail himself of
such
opportunity. Until such time as this corporation, through its Board of
Directors, has designated an area of interest, the officers, directors and
other
members of management of this corporation shall be free to engage in such
areas
of interest on their own and the provisions hereof shall not limit the rights
of
any officer, director or other member of management of this corporation to
continue a business existing prior to the time that such area of interest
is
designated by this corporation. This provision shall not be construed to
release
any employee of the corporation (other than an officer, director or member
of
management) from any duties that such employee may have to the
corporation.
ARTICLE
VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
Section
1. Direct
Actions.
The
corporation shall 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 filed 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 corporation’s request as a director, officer, partner,
trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan 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:
(a)
Acted
in good faith; and,
(b)
In a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of
the corporation; or,
(c)
With
respect to any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe
his
conduct was unlawful.
The
termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, or conviction, or upon
a plea
of nolo
contendere
or its
equivalent, is not of itself determinative that the individual 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, or that, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was
unlawful.
Section
2. Derivative
Actions.
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 actual 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 the such a person has been adjudged
by a
court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom,
to
be liable to the corporation of 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 another 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. Mandatory
Indemnification.
To the
extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has
been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation
shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
Section
4. Determination.
The
corporation may not indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent under
Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VIII unless authorized in the specific
case after a determination has been made that indemnification of the individual
is permissible in the circumstances, because he has met the applicable standard
of conduct. A determination that indemnification is permissible shall be
made:
(a)
By
the stockholders;
(b)
By
the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
not
at parties to the action, suit or proceeding; or,
(c)
If a
quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or
proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion.
Authorization
of indemnification and evaluation as to the reasonableness of expenses shall
be
made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is
permissible, except that if the determination is made by independent legal
counsel, authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness
of
expenses shall be made by those entitled under subsection (2)(b) of this
section
to select counsel.
Section
5. Advance
of Expenses.
The
corporation shall pay the expenses of officers and directors incurred in
defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are incurred
and 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 by a court of competent jurisdiction
that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
Section
6. Limitation
on Indemnification and Advance of Expenses.
Unless
ordered by a court, indemnification or advance of expenses may not be made
to or
on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes
that
his acts or omission involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.
Section
7. Insurance.
The
Board of Directors may exercise the corporation’s power to purchase and maintain
insurance or make financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or
was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him
and
expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee
or
agent or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation
has
the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses. No financial
arrangement made pursuant to this section may provide protection for a person
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals
therefrom to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation
of law, except with respect to the advance of expenses or indemnification
ordered by a court.
