PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
_____________, 2009
GENERAL INFORMATION
General
The accompanying proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of RoomLinX, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at the offices of ___________________________________________________________________, on _________, 2009, at 9:00am local time, and at any and all adjournments thereof. The Annual Meeting is being held for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting to Stockholders.
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are first being sent to the stockholders of the Company on or about ________, 2008. A copy of the Company's 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 is enclosed herewith, together with a copy of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Cost of Solicitation
The expenses of mailing this Proxy Statement will be borne by the Company, including expenses in connection with the preparation and mailing of this Proxy Statement and all documents that now accompany or may in the future supplement it.
Stockholders Entitled to Vote
Pursuant to the By-Laws of the Company, the Board of Directors has fixed the time and date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting as the close of business on ___________, 2008. Accordingly, only stockholders of record at the close of business on such date will be entitled to vote at the meeting, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Company thereafter.
At the close of business on October 6, 2008, (i) the Company had outstanding 157,065,781 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), each of which entitled the holder to one vote, and (ii) the Company had outstanding 1,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, par value $.20 per share, which were convertible into an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and which entitle the holder to one vote per share of Common Stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock is potentially convertible. There were no issued shares held by the Company in its treasury. Treating all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock on an “as converted” basis, holders of a total of 257,065,781 shares of Common Stock (or deemed Common Stock) are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Required Vote, Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions
The presence of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, is necessary to constitute a quorum. The election of directors nominated will require the vote, in person or by proxy, of a plurality of all shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each of Proposal 3 approving the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 1,500,000,000 and Proposal 4 approving the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation effecting a 1-for-200 reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock and simultaneously decreasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 200,000,000 will require the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. All other matters will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast.
Proxies marked as abstaining (including proxies containing "broker non-votes") on any matter to be acted upon by stockholders will be treated as present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be counted as votes cast on such matters. A "broker non-vote" occurs when a broker holds shares of Common Stock for a beneficial owner and does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. If a quorum is present, abstentions will have no effect on the election of directors or on any of the other proposals to be voted upon, except for Proposals 3 and 4 where an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “against” such proposal.
A proxy may be revoked by the stockholder at any time prior to its being voted. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by delivery to the Company, Attn: Chief Executive Officer, of a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
If a proxy is properly signed and is not revoked by the stockholder, the shares it represents will be voted at the meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If the proxy is signed and returned without specifying choices, the shares will be voted in favor of the election as director of the nominees listed on the following pages, in favor of Proposals 2, 3, 4 and 5, and as recommended by the Board of Directors with regard to all other matters, or if no such recommendation is given, in the proxy holder’s own discretion. Votes are tabulated at the Annual Meeting by inspectors of election.
There is no proposal to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting for which Nevada law, our articles of incorporation or bylaws provide a right of a stockholder to dissent and obtain appraisal of or payment for such stockholder’s shares. Therefore, our stockholders do not have dissenters’ rights with respect to the proposals to be voted upon by the stockholders as described in this proxy statement.
Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to Be Acted Upon
Michael S. Wasik, Chairman of the Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer, owns 25,233,566 shares of Common Stock and his vote of such shares will count with respect to each Proposal.
Christopher T. Blisard, a member of our Board of Directors, owns 2,292,084 shares of Common Stock and his vote will count with respect to each Proposal.
Judson Just, a member of our Board of Directors, owns 75,000 shares of our Common Stock and his vote will count with respect to each Proposal. Mr. Just is also the brother and brother-in-law of certain investors in the Company. Those investors jointly own 920 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (convertible into 92,000,000 shares of Common Stock) and certain trusts of which those investors are trustees own, in the aggregate, 80 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (convertible into 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock). All of the shares of Common Stock into which such Series C Preferred Stock is convertible will count respect to each Proposal.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following tables set forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock and preferred stock as of October 6, 2008, by (i) each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock or any class or series of preferred stock; (ii) each of our directors and executive officers; and (iii) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. In determining the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by each person, shares that may be acquired by such person by conversion of convertible debt convertible and under options or warrants exercisable within 60 days of October 6, 2008 are deemed beneficially owned by such person and are deemed outstanding for purposes of determining the total number of outstanding shares for such person and are not deemed outstanding for such purpose for all other stockholders. The percentage ownership is based upon 157,065,781 shares of Common Stock, 720,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock and 1,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of October 6, 2008.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Pursuant to our By-laws, our Board of Directors shall consist of one (1) or more members, the exact number of which shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has fixed the number of Directors constituting the entire Board at three (3) effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting. Each Director elected by the stockholders’ actions will serve until the Company's next Annual Meeting and until his successor is duly elected and qualified.
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen. Therefore, shares not voted, whether by withheld authority or otherwise, have no effect on the election of directors.
Set forth below is biographical information for the nominees for election to the Board of Directors including information furnished by them as to their principle occupations at present and for the past five years, certain directorships held by each, their ages as of October 6, 2008 and the year in which each director became a director of the Company.
There are no family relationships between any nominee and/or any executive officers of the Company.
The Board of Directors has determined that each of Christopher T. Blisard and Judson Just is an “independent director” as that term is defined by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200.
Unless instructed otherwise, the enclosed proxy will be voted FOR the election of the nominees named below. Voting is not cumulative. While management has no reason to believe that the nominees will not be available as candidates, should such a situation arise, proxies may be voted for the election of such other persons as a Director as the holders of the proxies may, in their discretion, determine. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Board of Directors does not yet have a Compensation Committee. The Board intends to establish a Compensation Committee which will consist of Judson Just and Christopher Blisard. Due to the size of the Company and the resulting efficiency of a Board of Directors that is also limited in size, the Board of Directors has determined that it is not necessary or appropriate at this time to establish a separate Compensation Committee. In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200, a majority of “independent” directors is required to recommend and approve the compensation of executive officers.
NOMINATING COMMITTEE
The Board of Directors does not have a standing Nominating Committee. Due to the size of the Company and the resulting efficiency of a Board of Directors that is also limited in size, the Board of Directors has determined that it is not necessary or appropriate at this time to establish a separate Nominating Committee. Potential candidates are discussed by the entire Board of Directors, and director nominees are selected by Board of Director resolution subject to the recommendation of a majority of the independent directors. All of the nominees recommended for election to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting are directors standing for re-election. Although the Board of Directors has not established any minimum qualifications for director candidates, when considering potential director candidates, the Board considers the candidate's character, judgment, diversity, skills, including financial literacy, and experience in the context of the needs of the Company and the Board of Directors. In 2007, the Company did not pay any fees to any third party to assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees.
DIRECTORS' ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Due to the Company's limited operations and financing and the limited size of the Board, the Board of Directors did not meet in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and took all actions by unanimous written consent.

Members of the Board of Directors will not be required to attend the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANY’S LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE
We believe that our officers, directors and other key employees and other individuals providing bona fide services to the Company should have a significant stake in our stock price performance under a program which links compensation to stockholder return. As a result, stock option grants are an integral part of our compensation program and are awarded under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan originally adopted effective as of June 28, 2004 (as amended, subject to stockholder approval under this Proposal, the “Plan”).
The Plan as originally adopted had an aggregate limit on the number of shares issuable under the Plan of 25,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments.
In order to provide for sufficient shares of Common Stock to be available for issuance under the Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the Plan that increases the aggregate limit on the number of shares issuable under the Plan from 25,000,000 to 120,000,000. The Board of Directors of the Company requests that you approve this amendment. This amendment is contingent on the approval of Proposal 3 below increasing the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to 1,500,000,000.
Description of the Plan
The following summary briefly describes the material features of the Plan, as amended, assuming approval pursuant to this Proposal. The Plan, as amended if approved pursuant to this Proposal, is attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Annex A.
The Plan authorizes the grant of stock options and other stock-based awards to purchase an aggregate of 120,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The plan permits the granting of stock options (including incentive stock options qualifying under section 422 ("ISOs") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and nonqualified stock options ("NSOs")), stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock awards, phantom stock, performance awards, other stock-based awards or any combination of the foregoing ("Awards"). Shares covered by the Plan may be either previously unissued or reacquired shares. Shares that cease to be subject to an option or other Award because of its expiration or termination will again be available for the grant of options and other Awards until termination of the Plan, except that any such shares shall not be for purchase pursuant to incentive stock options intended to qualify under section 422 of the Code.
The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or by a committee or committees as may be appointed by the Board of Directors from time to time (the Board of Directors, committee or committees being referred to as the "Administrator"). The Administrator has sole discretion to select award recipients, determine the number of shares subject to each grant and prescribe the other terms and conditions of each award. All employees, officers and directors of, and other individuals providing bona fide services to or for, the Company are eligible to receive awards under the Plan.
The exercise price of each ISO granted under the Plan must be equal to the fair market value of the common stock, as determined by the Administrator, at the time the option is granted, but NSOs may be granted with an exercise price less than fair market value. No award granted under the Plan may be transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No awards may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan, although the expiration date of previously granted awards may extend beyond that date.
The number of shares covered by the Plan and the exercise price of outstanding options are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments in the event of any recapitalization or similar change affecting the Company’s common stock. In the event the Company sells all or substantially all of its consolidated assets, dissolves, merges or consolidates with another company, the Administrator, in its discretion and without the consent of the holders of awards, shall make (1) appropriate adjustments to the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance or with respect to which awards may be granted under the Plan and (2) any adjustments in outstanding awards, including, but not limited to reducing the number, kind and price of securities subject to awards.
Any termination, amendment or modification to the Plan requires the approval of the board of directors and stockholders of the Company.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a brief summary of certain federal income tax consequences relating to the Plan. This summary does not purport to address all aspects of federal income taxation and does not describe state, local, or foreign tax consequences. This discussion is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the treasury regulations issued thereunder (the "Treasury Regulations"), and judicial and administrative interpretations under the Code and Treasury Regulations, all as in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis) or different interpretation.
New Law Affecting Deferred Compensation
In 2004, a new Section 409A was added to the Code to regulate all types of deferred compensation. If the requirements of Section 409A of the Code are not satisfied, deferred compensation and earnings thereon will be subject to tax as it vests, plus an interest charge at the underpayment rate plus 1% and a 20% penalty tax. Certain performance awards, stock options, SARs, restricted stock units and certain types of restricted stock are subject to Section 409A of the Code.
Incentive Stock Options
A participant under the Plan (a “participant”) will not recognize income at the time an incentive stock option is granted. When a participant exercises an incentive stock option, a participant also generally will not be required to recognize income (either as ordinary income or capital gain). However, to the extent that the fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which the participant's incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time during any year exceeds $100,000, the incentive stock options for the shares of Common Stock over $100,000 will be treated as nonqualified stock options, and not incentive stock options, for federal tax purposes, and the participant will recognize income as if the incentive stock options were nonqualified stock options. In addition to the foregoing, if the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of an incentive stock option exceeds the exercise price, then the excess will be deemed a tax preference adjustment for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax calculation. The federal alternative minimum tax may produce significant tax repercussions depending upon the participant's particular tax status.
The tax treatment of any shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option will depend upon whether the participant disposes of his or her shares prior to two years after the date the incentive stock option was granted or one year after the shares of Common Stock were transferred to the participant (referred to as the "Holding Period"). If a participant disposes of shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option after the expiration of the Holding Period, any amount received in excess of the participant's tax basis for such shares will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain, depending upon how long the participant has held the shares of Common Stock. If the amount received is less than the participant's tax basis for such shares, the loss will be treated as short-term or long-term capital loss, depending upon how long the participant has held the shares.
If the participant disposes of shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option prior to the expiration of the Holding Period, the disposition will be considered a "disqualifying disposition." If the amount received for the shares of Common Stock is greater than the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the exercise date, then the difference between the incentive stock option's exercise price and the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of exercise will be treated as ordinary income for the tax year in which the "disqualifying disposition" occurs. The participant's basis in the shares of Common Stock will be increased by an amount equal to the amount treated as ordinary income due to such "disqualifying disposition." In addition, the amount received in such "disqualifying disposition" over the participant's increased basis in the shares of Common Stock will be treated as capital gain (treated as short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on how long the participant has held the shares of Common Stock). However, if the price received for shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option is less than the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the exercise date and the disposition is a transaction in which the participant sustains a loss which otherwise would be recognizable under the Code, then the amount of ordinary income that the participant will recognize is the excess, if any, of the amount realized on the "disqualifying disposition" over the basis of the shares of Common Stock.
Nonqualified Stock Options
A participant generally will not recognize income at the time a nonqualified stock option is granted. When a participant exercises a nonqualified stock option, the difference between the option price and any higher market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of exercise will be treated as compensation taxable as ordinary income to the participant. The participant's tax basis for shares of Common Stock acquired under a nonqualified stock option will be equal to the option price paid for such shares of Common Stock, plus any amounts included in the participant's income as compensation. When a participant disposes of shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of a nonqualified stock option, any amount received in excess of the participant's tax basis for such shares will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain, depending upon how long the participant has held the shares of Common Stock. If the amount received is less than the participant's tax basis for such shares, the loss will be treated as short-term or long-term capital loss, depending upon how long the participant has held the shares.
Federal Tax Withholding
Any ordinary income realized by a participant upon the exercise of an award under the Plan is subject to withholding of income tax.
Deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code will be subject to certain federal income tax withholding and reporting requirements T.
Tax Consequences to the Company
To the extent that a participant recognizes ordinary income in the circumstances described above, the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction provided that, among other things, the income meets the test of reasonableness, is an ordinary and necessary business expense, is not an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and is not disallowed by the $1,000,000 limitation on certain executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.
Million Dollar Deduction Limit and Other Tax Matters
The Company may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to an individual employed by the Company who, on the last day of the taxable year, either is the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer or an individual who is among the three highest compensated officers for the taxable year (other than the principal executive officer or the principal financial officer). The limitation on deductions does not apply to certain types of compensation, including qualified performance-based compensation, and only applies to compensation paid by a publicly-traded corporation (and not compensation paid by non-corporate entities). To the extent the Company determines that Section 162(m) of the Code shall apply to any awards granted pursuant to the Plan, the Company intends that such awards will be constructed so as to constitute qualified performance-based compensation and, as such, will be exempt from the $1,000,000 limitation on deductible compensation.
If an individual's rights under the Plan are accelerated as a result of a change in control and the individual is a "disqualified individual" under Section 280G of the Code, the value of any such accelerated rights received by such individual may be included in determining whether or not such individual has received an "excess parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code, which could result in (i) the imposition of a 20% federal excise tax (in addition to federal income tax) payable by the individual on the value of such accelerated rights, and (ii) the loss by the Company of a compensation deduction.
Plan Benefits
Awards under the Plan outstanding at the conclusion of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and held by the Company’s Named Executive Officers are set forth above under the table entitled “Outstanding Equity Awards At Fiscal Year End” under the description of Proposal 1.
Future benefits under the Plan are not currently determinable.
On October 28, 2008, the last sale price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Pink Sheets was $0.01 per share.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the amendment of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance thereunder from 25,000,000 to 120,000,000.
PROPOSAL 3
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously adopted resolutions approving, subject to stockholder approval, the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in order to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 245,000,000 to 1,500,000,000. A copy of the proposed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation effecting such amendment and restatement is attached as Annex B to this Proxy Statement (the “Restated Articles”). Stockholders are urged to read the Restated Articles carefully as it is the legal document that governs the amendment and Restatement of the Company's Articles of Incorporation.
Description of the Amendment and Restatement
Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, we are currently authorized to issue up to 245,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”).
As of October 6, 2008, we had outstanding (i) 157,065,781 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 1,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock convertible into 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, (iii) Convertible Debentures convertible into 117,500,000 shares of Common Stock, (iv) currently exercisable warrants outstanding to purchase 79,825,833 shares of Common Stock and (v) currently exercisable options outstanding to purchase 20,650,000 shares of Common Stock. Further, we currently pay quarterly dividends on our outstanding Convertible Debt by the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, we do not presently have sufficient authorized shares to enable the exercise of all of our outstanding warrants and options to purchase common stock and the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Convertible Debentures.
If approved by the stockholders, the proposed Restated Articles will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada as soon as practicable after approval of this Proposal. The filing will authorize the issuance of up to an additional 1,255,000,000 shares of Common Stock. This will provide a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance under currently exercisable warrants and options and conversion of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Convertible Debentures and/or payment of dividends on the Convertible Debentures in the form of shares of Common Stock as well as permit additional future issuances as part of equity financings the Company may choose to undertake (although the Company has no current plans regarding any such equity financing transaction other than as may be described in this Proxy Statement).
Reasons for and Effect of the Amendment and Restatement
In the opinion of our Board of Directors, the proposed Restated Articles increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is advisable and in the best interests of our stockholders.
The filing of the Restated Articles will increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance from 245,000,000 to 1,500,000,000. As a result, there will be a sufficient number of such shares of Common Stock available for issuance to permit the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company. Therefore, in accordance with the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock, upon the effectiveness of the Restated Articles, the 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock currently outstanding will automatically convert into 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Automatic Series C Conversion”). In addition, warrants currently outstanding to purchase 400 shares of Series C Preferred Stock will automatically cease to be exercisable for Series C Preferred Stock and instead will be exercisable into 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As a consequence of the automatic conversion of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, there will no longer be any shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding and the Company will no longer be required to make dividend payments on the Series C Preferred Stock, thus reducing the Company’s expenses and improving the capital position of the Company. However, the Automatic Series C Conversion will result in substantial dilution to existing holders of Common Stock such that existing holders of Common Stock of the Company will then own less than sixty two percent (62%) of the proportionate interest in the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company currently owned by existing holders. As part of the Restated Articles, the designation of the Series C Preferred Stock is also being deleted.
As a further result of the increase in the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance, (i) the outstanding Convertible Debt which will automatically become exercisable into 117,500,000 shares of Common Stock (rather than into shares of Series B Preferred Stock as currently), (ii) the Company expects to have sufficient shares available for issuance for the near term as dividends on outstanding Convertible Debt which would otherwise be paid out in cash and (iii) the Company expects to have sufficient shares available for issuance in the event the Company determines to raise additional equity financing in the form of sales of shares of Common Stock. An issuance of shares of Common Stock in an equity financing transaction may result in dilution to existing stockholders, although the Company has no current plans regarding any such transaction other than as may be described in this Proxy Statement.
Potential Issuance of Additional Shares
As noted above, the proposed Restated Articles will increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company available for issuance. Other than the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to (i) the Automatic Series C Conversion, (ii) the potential conversion of outstanding Convertible Debt and (iii) the potential exercise of outstanding options and warrants, there are no current plans, proposals or arrangements to issue any additional shares of Common Stock of the Company, including in connection with the acquisition of any business or engagement in any investment opportunity.
Potential Anti-Takeover Effect
Our current Articles of Incorporation as well as the Restated Articles grant our Board of Directors authority to, without any action by our stockholders, designate and issue, from our authorized capital, shares in such classes or series (including classes or series of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock) as it deems appropriate and establish the rights, preferences, and privileges of such shares, including dividend, liquidation and voting rights. Our Board of Directors’ ability to designate and issue such shares could prevent, impede or deter an unsolicited tender offer or takeover proposal. Further, the increase in availability for issuance of the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company as a result of the proposed Restated Articles could render more difficult or discourage a takeover attempt. For example, additional shares of Common Stock could be issued and sold to purchasers who oppose a takeover bid or could be issued to increase the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and thereby dilute the interest of parties attempting to obtain control of the Company. In certain circumstances, our management might issue additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of independent stockholders.
The amendment to increase in the number authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance as a result of the Restated Articles was not adopted as a result of management’s knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate our securities or to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation in opposition to management, or otherwise. Other than as described above, (i) our current Articles of Incorporation, the Restated Articles and our current by-laws do not contain provisions having material anti-takeover consequences, (ii) we are not currently party to any employment agreements or credit agreements containing provisions having material anti-takeover consequences, (iii) the adoption of the Restated Articles is not part of a plan by management to adopt a series of such amendments and (iv) there are no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.
Recommendation of Our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the amendment and restatement of our Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 245,000,000 to 1,500,000,000.
PROPOSAL 4
AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO EFFECT REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND
SIMULTANEOUSLY DECREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously adopted resolutions approving, subject to stockholder approval, the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Reverse Split Amendment”) in order to effect a 1-for-200 reverse stock split with respect to the shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Reverse Split”) and an additional simultaneous decrease in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 1,500,000,000 (after giving effect to the anticipated increase under Proposal 3 above) to 200,000,000. However, notwithstanding potential approval of the proposed Reverse Split Amendment by the stockholders, the Board of Directors may, by resolution, abandon the proposed Reverse Split Amendment without further action by the stockholders. The Board of Directors will make the determination as to whether to proceed or abandon the Reverse Split Amendment, if approved by the stockholders under this Proposal, within twelve months from the date of the granting of such approval.
If so approved by the stockholders, the Reverse Split Amendment will be implemented by filing an Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the form of which is included as Annex C to this Proxy Statement, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada within twelve months from the date of the granting of approval by the stockholders under this Proposal, unless abandoned by the resolution of the Board of Directors prior thereto.
Reason for the Proposal and Effects of the Reverse Split
In the opinion of our Board of Directors, the Reverse Split Amendment is advisable and in the best interests of our stockholders. However, the final determination as to the timing of the Reverse Split Amendment effecting the Reverse Split has not yet been made and may be abandoned by resolution of the Board of Directors.
The purpose of the proposed Reverse Split is to increase the market price of our Common Stock as reflected in the markets in which our Common Stock is traded or quoted. The board of directors believes that an increase in the market price of our Common Stock will facilitate trading and liquidity in the Common Stock and enhance the prestige of our Common Stock in the marketplace
If approved by the stockholders and not abandoned by resolution of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors will cause the filing of the Reverse Split Amendment within twelve months of the granting of approval by the stockholders under this Proposal which will (i) effect a 1-for-200 reverse stock split with respect to the shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to which every two hundred shares of our outstanding Common Stock will be combined into one share of our Common Stock and (ii) simultaneously decrease the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance to 200,000,000. Thus, holders of the Company’s Common Stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Split Amendment will automatically be considered to own one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the number of shares owned prior to the effectiveness and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Split Amendment will initially be reduced by 99.5%. However, giving effect to the simultaneous decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance from 1,500,000,000 (after giving effect to the anticipated increase under Proposal 3 above) to 200,000,000, the Reverse Split Amendment will also effect an 86.7% decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance.
As of the effective date of the proposed Reverse Split, each holder of our Common Stock will own a reduced number of shares of our Common Stock. Every two hundred shares of our Common Stock that a stockholder owns will be combined and converted into a single share of Common Stock. We estimate that, following the Reverse Split, we will have approximately the same number of stockholders as prior thereto. Except for any changes as a result of the treatment of fractional shares as discussed below, the completion of the Reverse Split alone would not affect any stockholder’s proportionate interest in the Common Stock of the Company. The Reverse Split may increase the number of stockholders of the Company who own ‘‘odd lots’’ of less than 100 shares of our Common Stock. Brokerage commission and other costs of transactions in odd lots are sometimes higher than the costs of transactions of more than 100 shares of Common Stock.
Assuming the approval of Proposals 2 and 3 above increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance as Awards under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan and otherwise and the consummation of the Automatic Series C Conversion described under Proposal 3, after giving effect to the Reverse Split Amendment, the Company would have 197,815,542 shares of Common Stock authorized that are not issued or outstanding or reserved for issuance. Assuming the approval of Proposal 3 above increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance and the consummation of the Automatic Series C Conversion described under Proposal 3, the table below sets forth (i) the approximate number of shares of Common Stock that would remain outstanding immediately following the effectiveness of the Reverse Split Amendment, (ii) the approximate number of shares of Common Stock that would remain authorized and reserved for issuance following the effectiveness of the Reverse Split Amendment, and (iii) the approximate number of shares of Common Stock that would remain authorized but unissued and not reserved for issuance upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Split Amendment (including giving effect to the simultaneous decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued to 200,000,000). The information in the following table assumes the approval of Proposal 3 above and the effectiveness thereof and is based on (i) the 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued following the effectiveness of the Reverse Split Amendment and 157,065,781 shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock outstanding as of October 6, 2008, (ii) the Automatic Series C Conversion into a total of 100,000,000 shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock, (iii) Convertible Debt outstanding as of October 6, 2008 convertible into 117,500,000 shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock, (iv) warrants outstanding as of October 6, 2008 exercisable into 79,825,833 shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock, (v) options outstanding as of October 6, 2008 exercisable into 20,650,000 shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock and (vi) 96,778,571 shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance as Awards under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan.
Common Stock Issued and Outstanding after the Reverse Split (giving effect to the Automatic Series C Conversion) | Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance after the Reverse Split (giving effect to the Automatic Series C Conversion) | Common Stock authorized but unissued and not reserved for issuance after the Reverse Split (giving effect to the Automatic Series C Conversion and assuming approval and effectiveness of Proposal 3) and also giving effect to the simultaneous decrease in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Reverse Split Amendment. |
1,285,329 | 1,573,772 | 197,140,899 |
Treatment of Fractional Shares
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Any fractional share will be rounded up to the next whole share.
Exchange of Share Certificates
If the Reverse Split Amendment is approved at the Annual Meeting and effected by the Board of Directors, the Reverse Split will occur at the effective time set forth in the Reverse Split Amendment as filed and without any further action on your part and without regard to the date on which you physically surrender your stock certificates for new certificates.
As soon as practicable after the effective date of the Reverse Split, the exchange agent will mail each record holder of Common Stock a transmittal form to be used in forwarding such holder’s stock certificates for surrender and exchange for certificates evidencing the number of shares of common stock such shareholder is entitled to receive as a consequence of the Reverse Split. The transmittal forms will be accompanied by instructions specifying other details of the exchange. Upon receipt of such transmittal form, you should surrender the certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock prior to the Reverse Split in accordance with applicable instructions. Upon surrender, you will receive new certificates evidencing the whole number of shares of Common Stock that you hold as a result of the Reverse stock Split. You will not be required to pay any transfer fee or other fee in connection with the exchange of certificates. Shareholders should not submit their stock certificates for exchange until they receive a transmittal form from the company.
As of the effective date of the Reverse Split, each certificate representing shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the effective date will be deemed canceled and, for all corporate purposes, will be deemed only to evidence the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock evidenced by such certificate have been converted as a result of the Reverse Split.
Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on Warrants
The number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding warrants and options will be reduced in the same ratio as the reduction in the outstanding shares of Common Stock, rounded to the nearest whole share (with no cash payment for a partial share). The per share exercise price of those warrants and options also will be increased in direct proportion to the Reverse Split ratio, so that the aggregate dollar amount payable for the purchase of the shares subject to the warrants will remain unchanged (subject to the rounding of shares).
Board Discretion to Implement the Reverse Split
If the Reverse Split Amendment is approved at the annual meeting, the board of directors will, in its sole discretion, determine whether to complete the Reverse Split and file the Reverse Split Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State. Notwithstanding approval of the Reverse Split Amendment at the annual meeting, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine not to implement the Reverse Split or file the Reverse Split Amendment.
Recommendation of Our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the Reverse Split Amendment effecting a 1-for-200 reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock and simultaneous decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued to 200,000,000.

3. ADMINISTRATION
(a) Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or by such committee or committees as may be appointed by the Board from time to time (the Board, committee or committees hereinafter referred to as the "Administrator").
(b) Powers of the Administrator. The Administrator shall have all the powers vested in it by the terms of the Plan, such powers to include authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to grant Awards under the Plan, prescribe Grant Agreements evidencing such Awards and establish programs for granting Awards.
The Administrator shall have full power and authority to take all other actions necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the authority to: (i) determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted; (ii) determine the types of Awards to be granted; (iii) determine the number of shares to be covered by or used for reference purposes for each Award; (iv) impose such terms, limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any such Award as the Administrator shall deem appropriate; (v) modify, amend, extend or renew outstanding Awards, or accept the surrender of outstanding Awards and substitute new Awards (provided however, that, except as provided in Section 7(d) of the Plan, any modification that would materially adversely affect any outstanding Award shall not be made without the consent of the holder); (vi) accelerate or otherwise change the time in which an Award may be exercised or becomes payable and to waive or accelerate the lapse, in whole or in part, of any restriction or condition with respect to such Award, including, but not limited to, any restriction or condition with respect to the vesting or exercisability of an Award following termination of any grantee's employment or other relationship with the Company; and (vii) establish objectives and conditions, if any, for earning Awards and determining whether Awards will be paid after the end of a performance period.
The Administrator shall have full power and authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to administer and interpret the Plan and to adopt and interpret such rules, regulations, agreements, guidelines and instruments for the administration of the Plan and for the conduct of its business as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable.
(c) Non-Uniform Determinations. The Administrator's determinations under the Plan (including without limitation, determinations of the persons to receive Awards, the form, amount and timing of such Awards, the terms and provisions of such Awards and the Grant Agreements evidencing such Awards) need not be uniform and may be made by the Administrator selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.
(d) Limited Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no member of the Administrator shall be liable for any action taken or decision made in good faith relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder.
(e) Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by law and by the Company's charter and by-laws, the members of the Administrator shall be indemnified by the Company in respect of all their activities under the Plan.
(f) Effect of Administrator's Decision. All actions taken and decisions and determinations made by the Administrator on all matters relating to the Plan pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be in the Administrator's sole and absolute discretion and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties concerned, including, without limitation, the Company, its stockholders, any participants in the Plan and any other employee, consultant, or director of the Company, and their respective successors in interest.
4. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR THE PLAN
Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 7(d) of the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance as Awards under the Plan is one hundred twenty million (120,000,000). Awards granted under the Plan after the date hereof shall vest in accordance with the applicable Grant Agreement.
The Company shall reserve such number of shares for Awards under the Plan, subject to adjustments as provided in Section 7(d) of the Plan. If any Award, or portion of an Award, under the Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable or is forfeited or otherwise terminated, surrendered or canceled as to any shares, or if any shares of Common Stock are surrendered to the Company in connection with any Award (whether or not such surrendered shares were acquired pursuant to any Award), or if any shares are withheld by the Company, the shares subject to such Award and the surrendered and withheld shares shall thereafter be available for further Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that any such shares that are surrendered to or withheld by the Company in connection with any Award or that are otherwise forfeited after issuance shall not be available for purchase pursuant to incentive stock options intended to qualify under Code section 422.
5. PARTICIPATION
Participation in the Plan shall be open to all employees, officers, and directors of, and other individuals providing bona fide services to or for, the Company, or of any Affiliate of the Company, as may be selected by the Administrator from time to time. The Administrator may also grant Awards to individuals in connection with hiring, retention or otherwise, prior to the date the individual first performs services for the Company or an Affiliate provided that such Awards shall not become vested prior to the date the individual first performs such services.
6. AWARDS
The Administrator, in its sole discretion, establishes the terms of all Awards granted under the Plan. Awards may be granted individually or in tandem with other types of Awards. All Awards are subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Grant Agreement. The Administrator may permit or require a recipient of an Award to defer such individual's receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Common Stock that would otherwise be due to such individual by virtue of the exercise of, payment of, or lapse or waiver of restrictions respecting, any Award. If any such payment deferral is required or permitted, the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment deferral.
(a) Stock Options. The Administrator may from time to time grant to eligible participants Awards of incentive stock options as that term is defined in Code section 422 or nonqualified stock options; provided, however, that Awards of incentive stock options shall be limited to employees of the Company or of any current or hereafter existing "parent corporation" or "subsidiary corporation," as defined in Code sections 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Company. Options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Code section 422 must have an exercise price at least equal to Fair Market Value as of the date of grant, but nonqualified stock options may be granted with an exercise price less than Fair Market Value. No stock option shall be an incentive stock option unless so designated by the Administrator at the time of grant or in the Grant Agreement evidencing such stock option.
(b) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may from time to time grant to eligible participants Awards of Stock Appreciation Rights ("SAR"). An SAR entitles the grantee to receive, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Grant Agreement, a payment having an aggregate value equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of Common Stock over (B) the base price per share specified in the Grant Agreement, times (ii) the number of shares specified by the SAR, or portion thereof, which is exercised. Payment by the Company of the amount receivable upon any exercise of an SAR may be made by the delivery of Common Stock or cash, or any combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. If upon settlement of the exercise of an SAR a grantee is to receive a portion of such payment in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing such portion by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date. No fractional shares shall be used for such payment and the Administrator shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated.
(c) Stock Awards. The Administrator may from time to time grant restricted or unrestricted stock Awards to eligible participants in such amounts, on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by law, as it shall determine. A stock Award may be paid in Common Stock, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.
(d) Phantom Stock. The Administrator may from time to time grant Awards to eligible participants denominated in stock-equivalent units ("phantom stock") in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as it shall determine. Phantom stock units granted to a participant shall be credited to a bookkeeping reserve account solely for accounting purposes and shall not require a segregation of any of the Company's assets. An Award of phantom stock may be settled in Common Stock, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Grant Agreement, the grantee shall not have the rights of a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock represented by a phantom stock unit solely as a result of the grant of a phantom stock unit to the grantee.
(e) Performance Awards. The Administrator may, in its discretion, grant performance awards which become payable on account of attainment of one or more performance goals established by the Administrator. Performance awards may be paid by the delivery of Common Stock or cash, or any combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. Performance goals established by the Administrator may be based on the Company's or an Affiliate's operating income or one or more other business criteria selected by the Administrator that apply to an individual or group of individuals, a business unit, or the Company or an Affiliate as a whole, over such performance period as the Administrator may designate.
(f) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Administrator may from time to time grant other stock-based awards to eligible participants in such amounts, on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by law, as it shall determine. Other stock-based awards may be denominated in cash, in Common Stock or other securities, in stock-equivalent units, in stock appreciation units, in securities or debentures convertible into Common Stock, or in any combination of the foregoing and may be paid in Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock or other securities and cash, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.
7. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Withholding of Taxes. Grantees and holders of Awards shall pay to the Company or its Affiliate, or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any taxes required to be withheld in respect of Awards under the Plan no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. The Company or its Affiliate may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee or holder of an Award. In the event that payment to the Company or its Affiliate of such tax obligations is made in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the applicable date for such purposes.
(b) Loans. The Company or its Affiliate may make or guarantee loans to grantees to assist grantees in exercising Awards and satisfying any withholding tax obligations.
(c) Transferability. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, and in any event in the case of an incentive stock option or a stock appreciation right granted with respect to an incentive stock option, no Award granted under the Plan shall be transferable by a grantee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accord with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee, only by the grantee or, during the period the grantee is under a legal disability, by the grantee's guardian or legal representative.
(d) Adjustments for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.
(i) Stock Dividend, Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split. In the event of a stock dividend of, or stock split or reverse stock split affecting, the Common Stock, (A) the maximum number of shares of such Common Stock as to which Awards may be granted under this Plan and the maximum number of shares with respect to which Awards may be granted during any one fiscal year of the Company to any individual, as provided in Section 4 of the Plan, and (B) the number of shares covered by and the exercise price and other terms of outstanding Awards, shall, without further action of the Board, be adjusted to reflect such event. The Administrator may make adjustments, in its discretion, to address the treatment of fractional shares and fractional cents that arise with respect to outstanding Awards as a result of the stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split.
(ii) Non-Change in Control Transactions. Except with respect to the transactions set forth in Section 7(d)(i), in the event of any change affecting the Common Stock, the Company or its capitalization, by reason of a spin-off, split-up, dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or share exchange, other than any such change that is part of a transaction resulting in a Change in Control, the Administrator, in its discretion and without the consent of the holders of the Awards, shall make (A) appropriate adjustments to the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan, as provided in Section 4 of the Plan; and (B) any adjustments in outstanding Awards, including but not limited to reducing the number, kind and price of securities subject to Awards.
(iii) Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Administrator is authorized to make, in its discretion and without the consent of holders of Awards, adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Administrator determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.
(e) Substitution of Awards in Mergers and Acquisitions. Awards may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for Awards held by employees, officers, consultants or directors of entities who become or are about to become employees, officers, consultants or directors of the Company or an Affiliate as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing entity with the Company or an Affiliate, or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of the assets or stock of the employing entity. The terms and conditions of any substitute Awards so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth herein to the extent that the Administrator deems appropriate at the time of grant to conform the substitute Awards to the provisions of the awards for which they are substituted.
(f) Stock Restriction Agreement and Voting Trust. As a condition precedent to the grant of any Award under the Plan, the exercise pursuant to such an Award, or to the delivery of certificates for shares issued pursuant to any Award, the Administrator may require the grantee or the grantee's successor or permitted transferee, as the case may be, to become a party to a Stock Restriction Agreement of the Company and/or a Voting Trust Agreement in such form(s) as the Administrator may determine from time to time.
(g) Termination, Amendment and Modification of the Plan. The Board may terminate, amend or modify the Plan or any portion thereof with the approval of the stockholders of the Company.
(h) Non-Guarantee of Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan or in any Grant Agreement thereunder shall confer any right on an individual to continue in the service of the Company or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate such service at any time with or without cause or notice.
(i) Compliance with Securities Laws; Listing and Registration. If at any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Common Stock under the Plan is or may be unlawful under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or federal or state securities laws, the right to exercise an Award or receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award shall be suspended until the Administrator determines that such delivery is lawful. The Company shall have no obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the Common Stock under federal or state laws.
The Company may require that a grantee, as a condition to exercise of an Award, and as a condition to the delivery of any share certificate, make such written representations (including representations to the effect that such person will not dispose of the Common Stock so acquired in violation of federal or state securities laws) and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company to issue the Common Stock in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. The stock certificates for any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Plan may bear a legend restricting transferability of the shares of Common Stock unless such shares are registered or an exemption from registration is available under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.
(j) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a grantee or any other person. To the extent that any grantee or other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
(k) Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of Grant Agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules, regulations, determinations or decisions made by the Administrator relating to the Plan or such Grant Agreements, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest therein or thereunder, shall be determined exclusively in accordance with applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
(l) Effective Date; Termination Date. The Plan is effective as of the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board, subject to approval of the stockholders within twelve months before or after such date. No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the close of business on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan, or if earlier, the tenth anniversary of the date this Plan is approved by the stockholders. Subject to other applicable provisions of the Plan, all Awards made under the Plan prior to such termination of the Plan shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the Plan and the terms of such Awards.

No dividends or other distributions in any fiscal year shall be declared or paid on, nor shall there be a redemption of, the common shares of the Corporation or any shares of the Corporation that rank lower in priority to the Class A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends provided for in this Section 2 have been paid, or have been declared and funds set aside for the payment thereof.
Section 3. Participation in Assets on Dissolution. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid the amount of twenty ($.20) cents for each share, together with all accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares, and no more, before any distribution to the holders of common shares or any other shares of the Corporation ranking lower in priority to the Class A Preferred Stock with respect to distribution on liquidation.
Section 4. Redemption at Corporation's Option. The Corporation shall have the right, at its option, and on notice as provided for in this Section 4, to redeem at any time all or any portion of the Class A Preferred Stock at a price of twenty ($.20) cents for each share, together with all accrued and unpaid dividends on those shares. In all cases of redemption of the Class A Preferred Stock, thirty (30) days advance written notice of the redemption shall be given by the Corporation through registered mail addressed to the shareholders whose shares are to be redeemed at their respective addresses appearing in the books of the Corporation. If notice is given and if on or before the date set for redemption the Corporation shall have set aside all funds necessary for the redemption, then on and after the date set for redemption all of these shares shall no longer be outstanding, all dividends on these shares shall cease to accrue, and all rights of the holders of these shares shall terminate, except for the right to receive the amount payable on redemption of the shares, without interest, on the surrender of the certificate representing the shares. Funds necessary for redemption shall be considered to be set aside only if they are held separate and apart from other corporate funds in trust for the benefit of the holders of the shares with respect to which the notice of redemption is given. If only a portion of the Class A Preferred Stock is redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected by lot.
Section 5: Voting Rights. The holders of shares of the Class A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote at, or receive notices of, any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation, except as required under the Nevada Revised Statutes, Title 7, Chapter 78.

The Board of Directors may, at any time or from time to time, (a) divide any or all of the preferred shares into classes or series; (b) determine for any class or series established by the Board, its designation, number of shares, and relative rights, preferences, and limitations; (c) change the designation, number of shares, relative rights, preferences or limitations of the shares of any class or series established by the Board, no shares of which have been issued; and (d) cause to be executed and filed without further approval of the shareholders of this Corporation, any amendment or amendments to this Articles of Incorporation as may be required to accomplish any of these amendments. In particular, but without limiting the generality of the above authority, the Board shall have authority to determine the following concerning preferred stock established by the Board:
(1) A distinctive designation for each class or series and the number of shares which shall constitute each class or series;
(2) The dividend rate or rates on shares of the series, any restrictions, limitations, or conditions on the payment of the dividends, whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so, the date or dates from which dividends shall cumulate, and the date or dates on which dividends, if declared, shall become payable.
(3) Whether the shares of the series shall be redeemable and, if so, the time or times, the price or prices, the required notice or notices, and the other terms and conditions on which the shares may be redeemed;
(4) Whether the shares of the class or series are entitled to retirement or sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of such shares, and the amount and terms of such fund;
(5) The rights of the holders of shares of the series in the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or the winding up of the Corporation;
(6) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into shares of any class, classes, or series, and if convertible, the price, prices, rate, or rates of conversion, any method of adjusting these prices or rates, and any other terms and conditions on which the shares shall be convertible;

FIFTH: No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for damages for any breach of duty owed to the Corporation or its shareholders, except for liability for any breach of duty based upon an act or omission (a) in breach of such person's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders, (b) not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law or (c) resulting in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit. The Corporation shall have the authority to indemnify any Corporate Agent against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, incurred in connection with any pending or threatened action, suit, or proceeding, with respect to which the Corporate Agent is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada General Corporations Law. The indemnification provided in this subparagraph shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right, including the right to be indemnified against liabilities and expenses incurred in proceedings by or in the right of the Corporation, to which a Corporate Agent may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested Directors, or otherwise, both as to action in that Corporate Agent's official capacity and as to action in another capacity. However, no indemnification shall be made to any Corporate Agent if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that the Corporate Agent engaged in conduct that (1) breached a duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders, (2) was not undertaken in good faith, (3) involved a knowing violation of the law, or (4) resulted in the receipt by the Agent of an improper personal benefit. Conduct breaching the duty of loyalty is conduct that a person knows or believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which he or she has a material conflict of interest. These indemnification rights shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of the Corporate Agent. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Corporate Agent against any liability asserted against the Corporate Agent, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify the Corporate Agent against the liability under the foregoing provisions. A "Corporate Agent" of the Corporation shall be any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of this Corporation or of any constituent Corporation absorbed by this Corporation in a consolidation or merger, and other persons serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee, or agent of another corporation, association, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise.
