ITEMS 1 and 2. Changes in Control of Registrant; Acquisition or Disposition of
Assets
Lexington Barron Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in
the State of Colorado on August 23, 2000 for the purpose of either merging with
or acquiring an operating company with an operating history and assets. From its
inception through April 1, 2004, the Company conducted no significant operations
or other activities. On March 15, 2004, the Company entered into a Stock
Exchange Agreement with Pyramid Music Corp., a Florida corporation ("PMC").
Under the terms of the Stock Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of
the stock of PMC in exchange 16,922,464 shares of common stock of the Company
(the "Stock Exchange"). As a result of the Stock Exchange, which was consummated
on April 1, 2004, the former shareholders of PMC, owned on a fully diluted
basis, approximately 80% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of the Company.
On March 26, 2004, the Company changed its name to AGU Entertainment Corp.
Following the completion of the Stock Exchange, the Company had issued and
outstanding 21,053,076 shares of common stock. See "Security Ownership of
Certain Beneficial Owners and Management." As of April 1, 2004, the former
principal owners of Lexington Barron Technologies, Inc.'s common stock owned
4,130,612 shares, or approximately 20% of the outstanding common stock of the
Company.
In connection with the Stock Exchange, the Company's directors appointed
the nominees of the former shareholders of PMC to fill the existing vacancies on
the board of directors and then resigned as members of the board.
As a result of the Stock Exchange, the Company has the following
wholly-owned subsidiaries:
o Pyramid Music Corp, a Florida corporation, which in turn wholly owns
the following subsidiaries:
o The Tube Music Network, Inc., a Florida corporation, and
o Pyramid Records International, Inc., a Florida
corporation.
Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) of the General Rules and Regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), AGU Entertainment Corp. is the
successor issuer to Lexington Barron Technologies, Inc. for reporting purposes
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
- ------------------------
In this section, the terms "Company," "we," "us" or "our" refer to AGU
Entertainment Corp. as it exists following completion of the Stock Exchange,
unless the context otherwise indicates. The Company is headquartered at 11077
Biscayne Blvd., Suite 100, Miami, Florida 33161 and its telephone number is
(305) 899-6100.
General
As a result of the Stock Exchange, the Company, through its subsidiary
PMC, has two wholly-owned operating entities that are or will become engaged in
the following services: (i) the formation and operation of a television network,
The Tube Music Network, Inc. ("The Tube"), that plans to air traditional music
video archives and live concert DVDs of contemporary music material that is
derived from archived video and music collection libraries, and (ii) a
production, marketing and distribution record company, Pyramid Records
International, Inc. ("Pyramid Records"), that has merged audio, visual and
Internet content into one corporate concept.
The Tube:
The Tube is creating a television network that will air audio and video of
archived and current adult music material. It is our intent that the television
network will have the ability to simultaneously broadcast live radio, television
and Internet concerts. It will be the Company's critical distribution channel
and platform to market and sell CD's, DVD's and other merchandise. We anticipate
that The Tube will also receive revenues from advertising by third parties.
Unlike other television networks, such as MTV and VH1, which are focused
on reality programming and music directed at a young audience, The Tube's focus
will be music for the adult market, ages 30 and above. Demographically, it is
this adult market that purchases most of the music in the United States today,
yet no other television network exists to serve this market. The Company
anticipates that it will commence broadcasting its television network in the
second quarter of 2004.
Pyramid Records:
Pyramid Records is a newly formed production, marketing and distribution
record company. This record company currently has a distribution agreement with
Ark 21 Records, L.P., an affiliate of Universal Music, the largest record
company distributor in the world.
Pyramid Records generates and will generate revenues from a variety of
sources, including sales of records to mass merchandisers and other retail
outlets, the Internet, television and film soundtracks, theme song sales,
greatest hits live albums, filmed live concerts, and merchandising in
non-traditional retail outlets. Pyramid Records had revenues of approximately
$60,000 from inception through December 31, 2003.
COMPETITION
The Tube and Pyramid Records are both in industries that are highly
competitive, with many national and international firms competing in the areas
served by the Company. Many of these competitor firms are well established in
these markets and many have greater financial resources and managerial
capabilities than the Company. The Company expects to encounter substantial
competition in its efforts to grow its business.
EMPLOYEES
The Company and its subsidiaries employ, on a full time basis, 20
employees, consisting of five employees in administration, sales and management,
five employees within The Tube division, and ten employees of the Pyramid Record
division. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.
-2-
RISK FACTORS
The following is a summary of the principal risks associated with the
ownership of our common stock. You should consider carefully these risk factors,
together with all of the other information in this report.
Risks Inherent to this Company:
WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY WITH A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND WE
ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL HAVE OPERATING LOSSES IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
Pyramid Music Corp. was incorporated on May 20, 2003. We have spent our
time and money on developing the business concept, establishing relationships
within the industry, locating the video and music content needed to launch the
television network, acquiring distribution rights, and otherwise developing a
foundation for our business concept. We have no existing income and a very
limited operating history from which to evaluate our business prospects. We
cannot assure you that we will ever achieve profitable operations or generate
significant revenues. Our future operating results depend on many factors,
including demand for our products, the level of competition, and the ability of
our officers to manage our business and growth. Our limited operating history
and the emerging nature of the market in which we will compete make it difficult
to forecast revenues or earnings accurately. As a result, we anticipate that we
will have operating losses for the foreseeable future.
WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL AND IT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON AFFORDABLE
TERMS, IF AT ALL.
We have very limited financial resources. We anticipate that we will
require additional capital to fund our operations. Since we will require
additional capital to implement our business strategy, we will need to seek
external debt or equity financing. Although we anticipate that we will have
limited lines of credit available to us, the sources of funds or other financing
may not be available for us in light of our financial condition or may not be
available in amounts we require to operate our business. Our failure to obtain
additional capital to finance our working capital needs at acceptable terms will
negatively impact our business, financial condition and liquidity.
OUR SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM AND OUR ABILITY TO
HIRE AND RETAIN QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES.
We believe that our success is substantially dependent on: (1) our ability
to retain and motivate our senior management team and other key employees; and
(2) our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other
qualified personnel. The development of our business and operations is dependent
upon the efforts and talents of our executive officers. We cannot assure you
that we will be successful in retaining the services of any of the members of
our senior management team or other key personnel, or in hiring qualified
technical, managerial, marketing and customer service personnel. We do not have
"key person" life insurance policies on any of our key personnel, so in the
event of a tragic incident during the development phase of the Company, we would
find ourselves in a very precarious position without the financial ability or
management skill to overcome it. If we do not succeed in retaining our employees
and in attracting new employees, our business could suffer significantly.
-3-
EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS MAY SUFFER SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION IN FUTURE ISSUANCES OF
OUR COMMON STOCK.
We anticipate issuing a substantial amount of common stock in future
issuances. These issuances could be related to an equity incentive plan for
members of management, directors, officers, employees, and key consultants. It
is also likely that we will issue additional shares of common stock in future
capital financings. Any grants or sales of additional shares of our common stock
will have a dilutive effect on the existing shareholders, which could adversely
affect the value of our common stock.
THERE ARE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS AND AGREEMENTS THAT ARE NOT
SUBJECT TO ARM'S LENGTH NEGOTIATIONS.
Several shareholders of the Company have provided bridge financing for
start-up costs. These bridge loans totaled approximately $300,000 at April 1,
2004. We intend to repay these bridge loans out of the proceeds raised from
future offerings of our securities or any operating revenues. Additionally,
several of the shareholders are affiliated with entities that may receive
brokerage fees, consulting fees and other compensation related to the
performance of services for the Company. The Company is also responsible for a
payment of approximately $350,000 on behalf of Pyramid Media Group, Inc., of
which Allen Jacobi, president of Pyramid Records International, is an owner and
shareholder. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
WE ADOPTED PROVISIONS LIMITING THE LIABILITY OF MANAGEMENT TO SHAREHOLDERS.
We have adopted provisions, and will maintain provisions, to our articles
of incorporation and by-laws that limit the liability of officers, directors,
and employees, and provide for indemnification by the Company of officers,
directors, and employees to the full extent permitted by Colorado law. Colorado
law provides that officers and directors have no personal liability to a Company
or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as
officers or directors, except for a breach of their duty of loyalty, acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing
violation of law, unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or
redemptions, or any transaction from which a director or officer derives an
improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit the shareholders'
ability to hold officers and directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty,
and may require us to indemnify our officers and directors.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY MANAGE FUTURE GROWTH.
If we are successful in developing our business plan, the anticipated
future growth of the business could place a significant strain on our
managerial, operational and financial resources. We cannot assure you that
management would effectively manage a significant growth in our business. The
failure to adequately manage any growth would adversely effect our business
operations and financial results.
WE DO NOT HAVE AN ESTABLISHED TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.
There is no established trading market for the common stock of the
Company. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should presently be regarded
as illiquid as well as highly speculative, and is suitable only for persons who
can hold their investment in the Company indefinitely. We may seek to apply to
have our common stock listed, but we cannot assure you that we will undertake to
-4-
have our common stock trade on a regulated market, or if we do apply that we
will be successful in our attempt.
OUR MANAGEMENT, THROUGH ITS SIGNIFICANT OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK, HAS
ULTIMATE CONTROL OVER OUR OPERATIONS.
Our management owns a majority of the total outstanding shares of our
common stock and therefor has ultimate control over the operations of the
Company. These officers and employees will be able to control or otherwise
significantly influence all matters requiring approval by our shareholders,
including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other
business combination transactions.
WE HAVE NEVER PAID DIVIDENDS AND DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING ANY IN THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We have never declared or paid a cash dividend and we do not expect to
have any cash with which to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. If we
do have available cash, we intend to use it to grow our business.
Risks Related to the Nature of the Proposed Business:
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS AND GROWTH STRATEGY.
Our growth strategy is dependent upon our ability to generate sales and
profit margins through the achievement of our business plan. This includes, but
is not limited to, (i) successful integration of new products from time to time;
(ii) establishment and maintenance of sales and distribution channels, including
the successful launch of our television network, (iii) development of new
business opportunities; (iv) maintenance of existing clients and the
organization and systems to support these clients; (v) the establishment of
strong financial and management systems; and (vi) the ability to attract, retain
and hire highly skilled management and consultants. Implementation of this
strategy will depend in large part on the Company's ability to: (i) obtain
adequate financing on favorable terms to fund this growth strategy in the
future; (ii) develop and expand our client and customer bases; (iii) develop and
expand our product offerings, (iv) hire, train and retain skilled employees; (v)
establish corporate brand identity and successfully implement our marketing
campaigns; (vi) continue to expand in the face of increasing competition; (vii)
continue to negotiate agreements on terms that increase or maintain the
Company's current profit margins; (viii) leverage existing creditor
relationships to improve terms of business and extend additional credit; (ix)
create sufficient demand for our products; and (x) maintain a strong management
team. Our failure with respect to any or all of these factors could impair our
ability to successfully implement our growth strategy, which could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
WE INTEND TO LAUNCH NEW PRODUCTS IN A VOLATILE MARKET AND WE MAY BE
UNSUCCESSFUL.
We intend to launch new products, which include a television network
featuring classic rock music and video focused on the adult market, and an
international distribution of the Havana Bridge project, an album and DVD
featuring internationally renowned artists performing with Cuban artists. The
consumer retail market and the television industry are volatile marketplaces and
we may not be able to successfully penetrate and develop either sector. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to find, purchase and maintain the
airwave space necessary to carry and successfully launch a new television
network. Even if we are able to find such airwave space, we will be successful
only if consumers establish a loyalty to our network and purchase the products
-5-
advertised on the network, including those products offered by our subsidiary,
Pyramid Records. We will have no control over consumer reaction to our network
or product offerings. If we are not successful in building a strong and loyal
consumer following, we may not be able to generate sufficient sales to achieve
profitability.
WE DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VOLATILITY OF SALES.
Our business is dependent on selling our products in a volatile consumer
oriented marketplace. The retail consumer industry, by its nature, is very
volatile and sensitive to numerous economic factors, including competition,
market conditions, and general economic conditions. None of these conditions are
within our control. There can be no assurance that we will have stable or
growing sales of our record company products and advertising space of our
television network, and maintain profitability in the volatile consumer
marketplace.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PURCHASE AND/OR LICENSE ASSETS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO OUR
BUSINESS.
We intend to purchase and/or license archived video and music collection
libraries to fulfill the programming needs of The Tube. The acquisition or
licensure of these assets is critical to accomplishing the business plan of the
Company. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining these
assets or that if we do acquire them, that we will be able to do so at a
reasonable cost. Our failure to purchase and/or license these libraries at a
reasonable cost would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN OUR CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE HAVE
DEVELOPED.
Our clients in our record division, Pyramid Music, are artists and
celebrities. This clientele is fragmented and requires a great deal of servicing
to maintain strong relationships. Our ability to maintain client loyalty will be
dependent on our ability to successfully market and distribute their products,
as well as our ability to service their needs. We cannot assure you that we will
be successful in maintaining the relationship with our artists. Our inability to
maintain these relationships could prevent us from becoming profitable.
OUR FAILURE TO DEVELOP ADVERTISING REVENUES COULD PREVENT US FROM GENERATING
REVENUE.
We intend to generate a significant portion of our revenue from our
television network, The Tube, through advertising. It is unlikely that we will
be able to obtain long-term commitments from advertisers due to the start-up
nature of our business. Advertisers generally may cancel, reduce or postpone
orders without penalty. Cancellations, reductions or delays in purchases of
advertising could occur as a result of a strike, or a general economic downturn
in one or more industries or in one or more geographic areas. If we are unable
to generate significant revenue from advertising, it will have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
WE MAY ENCOUNTER INTENSE COMPETITION FROM SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER AND BETTER
FINANCED COMPANIES.
Our success will depend upon our ability to penetrate the consumer market
for media oriented products and establish a television network with sufficient
ratings to cover the costs associated with operating the network and providing a
profit for our investors. Our television network and record company will compete
with more established and better financed companies that have longer operating
-6-
histories and more recognition in the market place than we do. It is also
possible that previously unidentified competitors may enter the market place and
decrease our chance of acquiring the requisite market share. Our future success
will depend on our ability to penetrate the market quickly and efficiently. Our
ability to respond to competitive product offerings and the evolving demands of
the marketplace will play a key role in our success. Our failure to develop,
maintain and continually improve our distribution process could prevent us from
attaining sufficient market share. If we are unable to respond and compete in
these markets, it will have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ADEQUATELY REACT TO MARKET CHANGES.
Our success is partially dependent upon our ability to develop our market
and change our business model as may be necessary to react to changing market
conditions. Our ability to modify or change our business model to fit the needs
of a changing market place is a critical factor in our success, and our
inability to do this could have a material adverse affect on our business and
financial condition.
COPYRIGHT LAWS MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF CERTAIN OF OUR ASSETS.
Under existing United States copyright law, sound recordings may be
protected. United States copyright law, however, also gives individual authors
the inalienable right to recapture the rights to their copyrighted material by
terminating any transfer of interest in his or her copyright. For example, for
transfers given on or after January 1, 1978, the author may terminate the
transfer after 35 years, or perhaps earlier if the performer has shorter
reversion provisions within their agreements. A more complex timeline applies to
termination of transfers conveyed on or before December 31, 1977. Strict rules
of notice (i.e., a notice of intent to terminate given from the author to the
publisher) must be followed by the author to validate the termination. As a
result, certain of our assets may be lost if challenged by authors seeking to
recapture their copyrighted material, thereby potentially negatively affecting
the results of operations and financial condition of the Company and its future
prospects.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS.
- -----------
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto.
The Company is comprised of two operating subsidiaries, The Tube and
Pyramid Music. From inception through March 31, 2004, the Company has engaged in
organizational activities, incurred start-up expenses in connection with the
implementation of its business plan, had minimal revenues, and incurred
operating losses. We plan to focus our efforts on launching The Tube and
expanding Pyramid Music, and we expect that our operating expenses will increase
significantly in the foreseeable future as a result. The Company must raise
additional funds as a result of the planned significant increases in its
operating expenditures. The Company does not expect to receive revenues for the
foreseeable future and expects to continue to incur operating losses. The
Company is currently exploring additional financing alternatives, including the
possibility of private equity or debt offerings.
-7-
The Company has a limited operating history upon which to base an
evaluation of its business. The Company's business and prospects must be
considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently
encountered by companies in the early stages of development.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report includes a number of "forward-looking statements" as that term
is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange
Act. Those statements reflect management's current views with respect to future
events and financial performance and include statements regarding the intent,
belief or current expectations of us and members of our management team, as well
as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are
cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may
differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.
Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made
by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Important factors currently known to management could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements.
See "Risk Factors" for a discussion of such factors. We undertake no obligation
to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions,
the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in the future operating
results over time. We believe that our assumptions are based upon reasonable
data derived from and known about our business and operations. No assurances are
made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities
will not differ materially from our assumptions.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
- ------------------------
We do not own any real estate and we lease all of our operating space. As
of April 1, 2004, we leased the following office locations:
o approximately 1,500 square feet of office space located at 11077
Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 100, Miami, Florida 33161; this office
space was leased for a term of one year expiring on September 20,
2004 at an annual rental of $21,600;
o approximately 3,000 square feet of office space located at 11077
Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 200, Miami, Florida; this office space was
leased for a term of two years expiring on September 30, 2005 at an
annual rental of $46,110;
o approximately 8,900 square feet of recording studio space located at
12390 NE 13th Place, North Miami, Florida 33181 for a term of 36
months expiring on September 30, 2006, at a current annual rental of
$35,967.36; and
o approximately 532 square feet of office space located at 2040
Sherman Street, Suite 16, Hollywood, Florida 33020; this office
space was leased month to month at a monthly rental of $1,749.
Management considers our office space adequate for our present
requirements. In the event that expansion of our business requires that we
obtain additional space, management believes that such space would be available
on commercially reasonable terms.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
- --------------------------
GENERAL
The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of
common stock, having no par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, having no par value per share. As of April 1, 2004, 21,153,075 shares of
common stock and no shares of preferred stock were outstanding. We presently act
as the transfer agent for our common stock.
COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, no
par value per share. The issued and outstanding shares of common stock are fully
paid and nonassessable. Except as provided by law or the Company's articles of
incorporation with respect to voting by class or series, shareholders of common
stock are entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting
of shareholders.
Notwithstanding any prior rights to receive dividends to which the
holders of preferred stock may be entitled, the holders of common stock will
be entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared payable, from time to
time, by the board of directors. Upon liquidation or dissolution,
shareholders of common stock will be entitled to share proportionally in all
assets available for distribution to such holders. There are no preemptive,
subscription, conversion or redemption rights pertaining to the common stock
of the Company.
PREFERRED STOCK
The board of directors has the authority, without further action by the
shareholders of the Company, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, in one or more series, and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting
rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and the number of shares
constituting any series or the designation of such series. The issuance of
preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common
stock and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of
the Company's control.

MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND OTHER
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
- -------------------
As of April 1, 2004, the Company had 102 shareholders of record of its
common stock. There is no established public trading market for our common
stock, nor is it listed or traded on any stock exchange or with NASDAQ. The
Company has no outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of its common
stock, nor are there any outstanding securities convertible into its common
stock. There is no common equity of the Company that is being, or has been
proposed to be, publicly offered by the Company that could have a material
effect on the market price of the Company's common equity.
Under certain circumstances, restricted shares may be sold without
registration, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act. In
general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who
has satisfied a one-year holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell
within any three-month period a number of restricted securities which does not
exceed the greater of one percent of the shares outstanding or the average
weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the notice of
sale required by Rule 144. In addition, Rule 144 permits, under certain
circumstances, the sale of restricted securities without any quantity
limitations by a person who is not an affiliate of ours and has satisfied a
two-year holding period. Any sales of shares by shareholders pursuant to Rule
144 may have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock. No shares of
our common stock can be sold pursuant to Rule 144.
The Company has never paid a dividend. We intend to retain any earnings
for future growth and do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable
future. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive any dividends as may
be declared and paid by our board of directors.
The Company does not have an equity compensation plan.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
- ------------------
From time to time, we are involved as a plaintiff or defendant in various
legal proceedings arising in the usual course of our business. At the current
time, there is no pending litigation or legal action against the Company.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
- ------------------------------------------
We have adopted provisions, and will maintain provisions, to our articles
of incorporation and by-laws that limit the liability of officers, directors,
and employees, and provide for indemnification by the Company of officers,
-15-
directors, and employees to the full extent permitted by Colorado law. Colorado
law provides that officers and directors have no personal liability to a Company
or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as
officers or directors, except for a breach of their duty of loyalty, acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing
violation of law, unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or
redemptions, or any transaction from which a director or officer derives an
improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit the shareholders'
ability to hold officers and directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty,
and may require us to indemnify our officers and directors.
The Colorado Business Corporation Act provides at Article 109 for
indemnification by a corporation of officers and directors in connection with
proceedings brought against them by reason of their position with the
corporation the person being indemnified must, in civil matters, have acted 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. In criminal matters, indemnification
is permitted where the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful. Indemnification is required (unless limited by a
corporation's Articles of Incorporation) where the officer or director is wholly
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding. The
Act also establishes procedures by which persons seeking indemnification can
obtain cost advances from the corporation and procedures by which
indemnification determinations can be made.
