INFORMATION STATEMENT REGARDING
ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY WRITTEN CONSENT OF
MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS
IN LIEU OF A SPECIAL MEETING
PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(C) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY,
AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
GENERAL
This Information Statement is being furnished to the shareholders of TurkPower Corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to: (i) change the name of the Company to “SibMet Coal Corporation” (the “Name Change”); (ii) increase the number of the Company’s authorized shares of capital stock from 310,000,000 shares to 810,000,000 of which 800,000,000 shares will be common stock par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares will be preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) par value $0.0001 per share (the “Authorized Increase”), and (iii) effectuate a reverse split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock by changing and reclassifying each fifteen (15) shares of our issued and outstanding Common Stock into one (1) fully-paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”, collectively with the Name Change and the Authorized Increase, the “Amendments”). These actions were approved on April 19, 2012 by our Board of Directors and majority shareholders. This Information Statement has been prepared by our management.
"We," "us," "our," the “Registrant” and the "Company" refers to TurkPower Corporation, a Delaware corporation. The amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is sometimes referred to as the “Amendments”.
SUMMARY OF CORPORATE ACTIONS
On April 19, 2012, our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the Company’s Common Stock approved the Amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which will authorize the Amendments. The Amendments were approved by written consent of the shareholders holding approximately 85% of our outstanding capital stock (the “Majority Shareholders”). Pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended, the Amendments were required to be approved by a majority of our shareholders. This approval could be obtained either by the written consent of the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding voting securities, or it could be considered by our shareholders at a special shareholders' meeting convened for the specific purpose of approving the Amendments. The Company’s voting securities consist of Common Stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock. (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on any matter requiring shareholder vote. The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as 260,000 shares of Common Stock. The shares of Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as 100,000 shares of Common Stock. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting, our Board of Directors voted to utilize the written consent of the Majority Shareholders. The elimination of the need for a meeting of shareholders to approve this action is made possible by Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as may be amended, which provides that the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having no less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present.
As of April 19, 2012, there were 162,300,414 shares of our Common Stock, 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
The date on which this Information Statement was first sent to shareholders is on or about June 13, 2012 (the “Mailing Date”). Inasmuch as we will have provided this Information Statement to our shareholders of record as of the record date of April 19, 2012 (“Record Date”) no additional action will be undertaken pursuant to such written consent. Shareholders of record on the Record Date who did not consent to the Amendments are not entitled to dissenter's rights under Delaware law. These rights are discussed in this Information Statement under “Dissenter’s Rights” on page 5 of this Information Statement.
The Amendments will be effective twenty (20) days after this Information Statement is first mailed to our shareholders. No further vote of our shareholders is required.
THE AMENDMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERIT OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT NOR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NEITHER A REQUEST FOR YOUR VOTE NOR A PROXY STATEMENT, BUT RATHER AN INFORMATION STATEMENT DESIGNED TO INFORM YOU OF THE AMENDMENT THAT WILL OCCUR IF THE AMENDMENT ARE COMPLETED AND TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE AMENDMENTS AND THE BACKGROUND OF THESE TRANSACTIONS.
The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our voting securities held of record by them and we will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material.

Q. What will I receive if the Amendments are completed?
A. Nothing. The Amendments will only modify the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
Q. When do you expect the Amendments to become effective?

ACTION BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AND
CONSENTING SHAREHOLDERS
In accordance with Section 141 and 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the following actions were taken based upon the approval of the Company's Board of Directors and the written consent of a majority of the shareholders of the Company’s voting Stock. On April 19, 2012, our Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, approved the Amendments.
Effective Time of the Amendments
We intend to file, as soon as practicable on or after the twentieth (20th) day after this Information Statement is sent to our shareholders, an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation effectuating the Amendments with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will become effective at the close of business on the date the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of Delaware. It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made approximately twenty (20) days from the date that this Information Statement is sent to our shareholders. A copy of the Form of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A and incorporated herein by reference. The text of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the Secretary of State of Delaware to effectuate the Amendments.
No Appraisal Rights for the Amendments
Under Delaware law, the Company’s shareholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Amendments and the Company will not independently provide shareholders with any such right.
AMENDMENT TO OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY
The change of the Company’s name to “SibMet Coal Corporation” will better reflect the Company’s business plan to develop and move a portion of the Toguchino Coal Field in NovoSibirsk, Russia held by the Company’s operating subsidiary.
AMENDMENT TO OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE OUR AUTHORIZED SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK TO 810,000,000
The Amendment authorizes the increase of the number of the Company’s authorized shares from 310,000,000 consisting of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) to 810,000,000 consisting of (a) 800,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (b) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Our Board of Directors believes it is in the Company’s best interests and the best interests of our shareholders to increase the number of authorized shares of our capital stock to allow for the issuance of shares of our stock or other securities in connection with such potential issuances and such other purposes as our Board of Directors determines.
The increase in the authorized number of shares of our capital stock will permit our Board of Directors to issue additional shares of our capital stock without further approval of our shareholders, and our Board of Directors does not intend to seek shareholder approval prior to any issuance of the authorized capital stock unless shareholder approval is required by applicable law or stock market or exchange requirements. Although from time to time we review various transactions that could result in the issuance of shares of our capital stock, we have not reviewed any transaction to date.
We do not have in place provisions which may have an anti-takeover effect. The increase in the authorized number of shares of our Common Stock did not result from our knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate our securities or to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise, and we did not take such action to increase the authorized shares of our Common Stock to enable us to frustrate any efforts by another party to acquire a controlling interest or to seek representation on our Board of Directors.
The issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock may have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity and voting power of existing security holders of our Common Stock, and such issuance may not require shareholder approval. It may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. However, if additional shares are issued in transactions whereby favorable business opportunities are provided which allow us to pursue our business plans, the market price of our Common Stock may increase.
AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECTUATE A 1-FOR-15 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
The Board of Directors has determined that it will be in the best interest of the shareholders to effectuate a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock by changing and reclassifying each fifteen (15) shares of our issued and outstanding Common Stock (“Old Shares”) into one (1) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (“New Shares”) (“Reverse Stock Split”) for the purposes stated herein.
The Board of Directors believes that the low per-share market price of the Company’s Common Stock impairs the acceptability of the Common Stock to potential acquisition candidates, certain members of the investing public, including institutional investors, as well adversely affecting our ability to raise additional working capital. Due to the current low price of the Company’s Common Stock, the Company’s credibility as a viable business enterprise is negatively impacted. No assurance exists that any positive impact in these or other matters will result from the proposed action. Further, there is no assurance that the Company will not undertake such an additional split in the future.
In addition, the Board believes that the Reverse Stock Split and anticipated increase per share price of our Common Stock should also enhance the acceptability and marketability of the Common Stock to the financial community and investing public. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential buyers of our Common Stock. Additionally, analysts at many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients or monitor the activity of lower-priced stocks. Brokerage houses also frequently have internal practices and policies that discourage individual brokers from dealing in lower-priced stocks due to, among other reasons, the trading volatility often associated with lower-priced stocks. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Further, because brokers’ commissions on lower-priced stock generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stock, investors in lower-priced stocks pay transaction costs which are a higher percentage of their total share value, which may limit the willingness of individual investors and institutions to purchase our Common Stock. It should be noted that the liquidity of our Common Stock may be adversely affected by the proposed Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split. The Board of Directors is hopeful, however, that the anticipated higher market price inherent in some of the policies and practices of institutional investors and brokerage houses described above. No assurance exists that the opinions of the Company will prove correct.
The Reverse Stock Split will also have the effect of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available to us for future issuances as the split will not change the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock which will remain at 800,000,000 shares following the Amendment. On April 19, 2012 there were 162,300,414 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
For these reasons the Board of Directors has chosen to adopt and recommend the Reverse Stock Split. The Company can give no assurance that the Reverse Split will have a long-term positive effect on the market price of the Common Stock or increase the Company’s abilities to enter into financing arrangements in the future.
The Reverse Split will affect all of the holders of our Common Stock uniformly. Any fractional shares existing as a result of the Reverse Split shall be rounded to the next higher whole number to those shareholders who are entitled to receive them as a consequence of the Reverse Split. On the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, each shareholder will own a reduced number of shares of our Common Stock, but will hold the same percentage of the outstanding Common Stock as the shareholder held prior to the Effective Date. The Reverse Stock Split will increase the number of shareholders who own odd-lots. An odd-lot is fewer than 100 shares. Such shareholders may experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and may have greater difficulty in making sales.
The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of the Common Stock. As a result, on the Split Effective Date, the stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to Common Stock will be reduced in proportion with the Reverse Stock Split and additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. These accounting entries will have no impact on total shareholders' equity. All share and per share information will be retroactively adjusted following the Split Effective Date to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented in future filings.
The availability of additional authorized shares will also allow the Board to issue shares for corporate purposes, if appropriate opportunities should arise, without further action by the shareholders or the time delay involved in obtaining shareholder approval (except to the extent that approval is otherwise required by applicable law). Such purposes could include meeting requirements for capital expenditures or working capital or, depending on the market conditions, effecting future acquisitions of other businesses through the issuance of shares of our Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of our Common Stock.
Anti-Takeover Effects of the Reverse Stock Split
Because the Reverse Stock Split results in a decreased number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, it may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect. Although the Reverse Stock Split is not being undertaken by the Board for this purpose, in the future the Board could, subject to its fiduciary duties and applicable law, use the increased number of authorized but unissued shares to frustrate persons seeking to take over or otherwise gain control of our company by, for example, privately placing shares with purchasers who might side with the Board in opposing a hostile takeover bid. Shares of Common Stock could also be issued to a holder that would thereafter have sufficient voting power to assure that any proposal to amend or repeal the Company’s By-laws or certain provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation would not receive the requisite vote. Such uses of the Company’s Common Stock could render more difficult, or discourage, an attempt to acquire control of the Company if such transactions were opposed by the Board of Directors. However, it is also possible that an indirect result of the anti-takeover effect of the Reverse Stock Split could be that shareholders will be denied the opportunity to obtain any advantages of a hostile takeover, including, but not limited to, receiving a premium to the then current market price of our Common Stock, if the same was so offered by a party attempting a hostile takeover of our company. We are not aware of any party's interest in or efforts to engage in a hostile takeover attempt as of the date of this Information Statement.
Summary of the Reverse Stock Split
The Reverse Stock Split will have the following effects upon the Common Stock:
1. The number of shares owned by each holder of Common Stock will be reduced fifteen (15) fold;
2. The number of shares of Common Stock which will be issued and outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split will be reduced from 162,300,414 shares of our Common Stock to approximately 10,820,027 shares, subject to rounding.
3. The per share loss and net book value of the Common Stock will be increased because there will be a lesser number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding;
4. The par value of the Common Stock will remain $0.001 per share;
5. The stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to the Common Stock will be decreased fifteen (15) times its present amount and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is decreased; and
6. All outstanding options, warrants, and convertible securities entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of Common Stock will enable such holders to purchase, upon exercise thereof, fifteen (15) times fewer of the number of shares of Common Stock which such holders would have been able to purchase upon exercise thereof immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split, at the same aggregate price required to be paid therefore upon exercise thereof immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split.
Because the market price of the Common Stock is also based on factors which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our performance, general economic and market conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, the market price per new share of the New Shares may not rise or remain constant in proportion to the reduction in the number of Old Shares outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split. In the future, the market price of Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split may not equal or exceed the market price prior to the Reverse Stock Split. In many cases, the total market capitalization of a company following a Reverse Stock Split is lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.
Effects of Reverse Stock Split
Following the Reverse Stock Split, our capital structure will be as follows:
(i) 162,300,414 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, outstanding;
(ii) 137,699,586 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance (assuming that there are 300,000,000 shares of common stock authorized); and
(iii) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock reserved for issuance.
There are currently no proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue additional shares of our Common Stock at this time. However, should we issue additional shares of stock in the future, this could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of existing shares of Common Stock.

AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF
TURKPOWER CORPORATION

Global Ink Supply Co., filed on July 8, 2009 and that certain Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation filed on May 11, 2010.
3. The effective time of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation herein shall be ______ __, 2012.
4. The text of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
ARTICLE I
The name of this corporation shall be: SibMet Coal Corporation.
ARTICLE II
Its registered office is to be located at Suite 606, 1220 N. Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19801, County of New Castle.
ARTICLE III
The purpose or purposes of the organization is to engage in any lawful activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law.
ARTICLE IV
The total number of shares of Common Stock which this corporation shall have authority to issue is 810,000,000 consisting of (i) 800,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).
(a) Effective upon the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Effective Time”), a 1 for 15 stock split of the Common Stock was effectuated. As of the Effective Time, every fifteen shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Common Stock”) was automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof reclassified as and changed, pursuant to a stock split, into 1 share of Common Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (the “New Common Stock”), subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below. Each holder of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represents outstanding shares of Old Common Stock (the ”Old Certificates,” whether one or more) shall be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Old Certificates to the Corporation’s transfer agent for cancellation, a certificate or certificates (the “New Certificates,” whether one or more) representing the number of whole shares of the New Common Stock for which the shares of the Old Common Stock formerly represented by the Old Certificates so surrendered are reclassified under the terms hereof. From and after the Effective Time, Old Certificates shall represent only the right to receive New Certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof. No certificate representing fractional share interests in New Common Stock will be issued, and no fractional share interest will entitle the holder thereof to vote, or to any rights of a stockholder of the Corporation. All fractional shares of Common Stock shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of shares of Common Stock. If more than one Old Certificate shall be surrendered at one time for the account of the same stockholder, the number of full shares of New Common Stock for which New Certificates shall be issued shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by the Old Certificates so surrendered. In the event that the Corporation's transfer agent determines that a holder of Old Certificates has not tendered all his certificates for exchange, the transfer agent shall carry forward any fractional shares until all certificates of that holder have been presented for exchange such that payment for fractional shares to any one person shall not exceed the value of one share. If any New Certificate is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Old Certificates surrendered for exchange are issued, the Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the person or persons requesting the exchange shall affix any requisite stock transfer tax stamps to the Old Certificates surrendered, or provide funds for their purchase, or establish to the satisfaction of the transfer agent that the taxes are not payable. From and after the Effective Time the amount of capital represented by the shares of the New Common Stock into which and for which the shares of the Old Common Stock are reclassified under the terms hereof shall be the same as the amount of capital represented by the shares of Old Common Stock so reclassified, until thereafter reduced or increased in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Preferred Stock. Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in series and, by filing a certificate pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (hereinafter, along with any similar designation relating to any other class of stock that may hereafter be authorized, referred to as a “Preferred Stock Designation”), to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, power, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:
(i) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;
(ii) The number of shares of the series, which number the Board of Directors may thereafter (except where otherwise provided in the Preferred Stock Designation) increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);
(iii) The amounts payable on, and the preferences, if any, of shares of the series in respect of dividends, and whether such dividends, if any, shall be cumulative or noncumulative;
(iv) Dates on which dividends, if any, shall be payable
(v) The redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;
(vi) The terms and amount of any sinking fund provided for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;
(vii) The amounts payable on and the preference, if any, of shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;
(viii) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of the Corporation or any other corporation, and, if so, the specification of such other class or series of such other security, the conversion or exchange price or prices or rate or rates, any adjustments thereof, the date or dates at which such shares shall be convertible or exchangeable and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion or exchange may be made;
(ix) Restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series;
(x) The voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the series.
(xi) The restrictions and conditions, if any, upon the issuance or reissuance of any Additional preferred stock ranking or a part with or prior to such shares as to dividends or upon distribution; and
(xii) Any other preferences, limitations or relative rights of shares of such class or series consistent with this Article IV, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and applicable law.
(c) Common Stock. The Common Stock shall be subject to the express terms of the Preferred Stock and any series thereof. Each share of Common Stock shall be equal to each other share of Common Stock. Except as may be provided in this Certificate of Amendment or in a Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share upon all questions presented to the stockholders.
ARTICLE V
The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to create and issue, whether or not in connection with the issuance and sale of any of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation, rights entitling the holders thereof to purchase from the Corporation shares of stock or other securities of the Corporation or any other corporation. The times at which and the terms upon which such rights are to be issued will be determined by the Board of Directors and set forth in the contracts or instruments that evidence such rights. The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to such rights shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:
(a) The initial purchase price per share or other unit of the stock or other securities or property to be purchased upon exercise of such rights;
(b) Provisions relating to the times at which and the circumstances under which such rights may be exercised or sold or otherwise transferred, either together with or separately from, any other stock or other securities of the Corporation;
(c) Provisions that adjust the number or exercise price of such rights or amount or nature of the stock or other securities or property receivable upon exercise of such rights in the event of a combination, split or recapitalization of any stock of the Corporation, a change in ownership of the Corporation's stock or other securities or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other occurrence relating to the Corporation or any stock of the Corporation, and provisions restricting the ability of the Corporation to enter into any such transaction absent an assumption by the other party or parties thereto of the obligations of the Corporation under such rights;
(d) Provisions that deny the holder of a specified percentage of the outstanding stock or other securities of the Corporation the right to exercise such rights and/or cause the rights held by such holder to become void;
(e) Provisions that permit the Corporation to redeem or exchange such rights; and
(f) The appointment of a rights agent with respect to such rights.
ARTICLE VI
Each person who serves or has served as a director shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any breach of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) for unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock purchase or redemption as such liability is imposed under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this provision shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is amended to permit further elimination or limitation of the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extend permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as so amended.
ARTICLE VII
The Corporation shall provide indemnification as follows:
(a) The Corporation shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being referred to hereafter as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liabilities, losses, judgments, fines, excise taxes and penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
(b) The Corporation shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to or 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 Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this paragraph (b) in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless, and only to the extent, that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which the Court of Chancery of Delaware or such other court shall deem proper.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VII, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Article VII, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith.
(d) In the event of any threatened or pending action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation receives notice under this Article VII, any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in defending an action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VII; and provided further that no such advancement of expenses shall be made under this Article VII if it is determined that (i) Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of Indemnitee to make such repayment.
(e) No amendment, termination or repeal of this Article VII or of the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable laws shall adversely affect or diminish in any way the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such amendment, termination or repeal.
ARTICLE VIII
Except as may be expressly provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation reserves the right at any time and from time to time to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in these Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or a Preferred Stock Designation, and any other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted, in the manner now or thereafter prescribed herein or by applicable law, and all rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to these Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the right reserved in this Article VIII; provided, however, that any amendment or repeal of Article VI and VII and Article VIII of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal; and provided further that no Preferred Stock Designation shall be amended after the issuance of any shares of the series of Preferred Stock created thereby, except in accordance with the terms of such Preferred Stock Designation and the requirements of applicable law.
