Item 3.03.

Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

See Item 5.01 and Item 8.01, below.

Item 5.01.

Changes in Control of Registrant.

See Item 8.01, below.  Section 12 of the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock provides as follows:

“12.

Voting.  On all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the election of directors, a Holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes on such matters equal to the number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder multiplied by 100.  If no record date is established, the date to be used for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters shall be the date on which notice of the meeting of stockholders at which the vote is to be taken is marked, or the date any written consent of stockholders is solicited if the vote is not to be taken at a meeting.  The Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not vote as a separate class, but shall vote with the holders of the Common Stock.”

On March 24, 2015, the registrant issued 5,000,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock as described in Item 8.01, below.  Inasmuch as each share of the Series A Preferred Stock has voting rights as above described, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the registrant have the power to vote 500,000,000 shares of the common stock of the registrant, which number exceeds the outstanding shares of the common stock of the registrant on the date of this report.  Consequently, there has been a change in control of the registrant as of the date of this report.

The registrant has authorized the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of its preferred stock; however, until March 24, 2015, there was no designation of the relative rights and preferences for such shares and no such shares had previously been issued.  The Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock authorized and filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on March 24, 2015, provides for the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of the registrant.  Some of the material items of the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock are as follows:

Dividends.  Except as provided in the Certificate of Designation, the holders of outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, stock, or other property, as dividends when, as, and if declared by the registrant.  If shares of the Series A Preferred Stock or the common stock of the registrant are to be issued as a dividend, any such shares shall be issued at Market Value.



2

 


Redemption Rights.  Subject to the applicable provisions of Delaware law, the registrant, at the option of its directors, may at any time or from time to time redeem the whole or any part of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.  Any such redemption shall be pro rata with respect to all of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.  Upon redemption, the registrant shall pay for each share redeemed the amount of $0.10 per share, payable in cash.

Liquidation Rights.  Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the registrant, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the registrant the sum of $0.10 per share before any payment or distribution shall be made on the common stock of the registrant, or any other class of capital stock of the registrant ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock.

Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.  Subject to the terms of the Certificate of Designation, at any time, the holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to convert any number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the common stock of the registrant.  Such right to convert shall commence as of the date the shares of such Series A Preferred Stock are issued to such holder.

Conversion Rate.  Subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation, each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into 10 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the common stock of the registrant (the “Conversion Rate”).  Provided, however, notwithstanding anything in the Certificate of Designation contained to the contrary, no holder may convert shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into an amount of shares of the common stock of the registrant in excess of 10% of the number of shares of the common stock of the registrant traded on the Principal Market or any Eligible Market, as defined in the Certificate of Designation, on the date of any such conversion.

Conversion Price.  The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation, for each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be 85% of the 20-day trailing, lowest, Closing Bid Price of the common stock of the registrant during such 20-day period.

Limitations on Conversion Rights.  Notwithstanding anything in the Certificate of Designation contained to the contrary, no holder of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert such holder’s shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the common stock of the registrant until at least six months have elapsed from the date that such holder acquired its shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.  Notwithstanding anything in the Certificate of Designation contained to the contrary, moreover, at anytime after six months have elapsed from the date that such holder acquired its shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the board of directors of the registrant may require that such holder convert its shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into the common stock of the registrant, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation.

Adjustment of Conversion Rate and Conversion Price for Dilution and Other Events.  In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted to the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Conversion Rate will be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(a)

Adjustment of Conversion Rate and Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of the common stock of the registrant.  If the registrant at any time after the Issue Date subdivides (by any share split, share dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding common stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced.  If the registrant at any time combines (by combination, reverse share split or otherwise) its outstanding common stock into a smaller number of shares and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.  The Conversion Price shall be adjusted as if any such subdivision or combination had occurred the day before the 20-day trailing, lowest, Closing Bid Price of the common stock of the registrant during such 20-day period.

(b)

Share Fractions.  As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the registrant may either pay the fair market value of share fractions in cash, issue scrip or warrants, or arrange for the disposition of share fractions.



3

 


Preferred Status.  The rights of the shares of the common stock of the registrant shall be subject to the preferences and relative rights of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.  Without the prior written consent of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the registrant shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional or other capital stock that is of senior or equal rank to the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the preferences as to voting or conversion, as described in the Certificate of Designation, or distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the registrant described in Paragraph 3 above.  The Company shall be permitted to issue preferred shares that are junior in rank to the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the voting or conversion, as described in the Certificate of Designation, or the preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the registrant.

Restriction on Dividends.  If any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the registrant shall not, without the prior written consent of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, directly or indirectly declare, pay or make any dividends or other distributions upon any of the common stock of the registrant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not prohibit the registrant from declaring and paying a dividend in cash with respect to the shares of the common stock of the registrant so long as the registrant simultaneously pays each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock an amount in cash equal to the amount such holder would have received had all of such holder’s shares of the Series A Preferred Stock been converted to shares of the common stock of the registrant on the business day prior to the record date for any such dividend.

Vote to Change the Terms of the Series A Preferred Stock.  Without the prior written consent of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the registrant shall not amend, alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Voting.  On all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the common stock of the registrant, including, without limitation, the election of directors, a holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes on such matters equal to the number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder multiplied by 100.  If no record date is established, the date to be used for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters shall be the date on which notice of the meeting of stockholders at which the vote is to be taken is marked, or the date any written consent of stockholders is solicited if the vote is not to be taken at a meeting.  The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not vote as a separate class, but shall vote with the holders of the common stock of the registrant.

Limitation on Beneficial Ownership.  Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation, the registrant shall not effect and shall have no obligation to effect any conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and no holder shall have the right to convert any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the beneficial owner of such shares (together with such Person’s affiliates) would have acquired, through conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock or otherwise, beneficial ownership of a number of shares of the common stock of the registrant that exceeds 4.99% (“Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of the common stock of the registrant outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

Notice by Electronic Transmission.

(A)

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Company under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given.  Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Company.  Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (1) the Company is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Company in accordance with such consent and (2) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

(B)

Notice given pursuant to subparagraph (A) of this Paragraph 2.5 shall be deemed given:

(1)

If by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(2)

If by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

If by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (a) such posting and (b) the giving of such separate notice; and

(4)

If by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Company that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

(C)

For purposes of this Paragraph 2.5, “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

2.6

Quorum and Adjournment.  Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting Stock”), represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such business.  The chairman of the meeting or a majority of the shares of Voting Stock so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time, whether or not there is such a quorum (or, in the case of specified business to be voted on by a class or series, the chairman or a majority of the shares of such class or series so represented may adjourn the meeting with respect to such specified business).  No notice of the time and place of adjourned meetings need be given except as required by law.  The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

2.7

Proxies.  At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or as may be permitted by law, or by such stockholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact.  Such proxy must be filed with the Secretary of the Company or such stockholder’s representative at or before the time of the meeting.

(B)

Special Meetings of Stockholders.  Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting pursuant to Paragraph 2.4 and Paragraph 2.5 of these Bylaws.  Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (2) by any stockholder of the Company who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complies with the notice procedures set forth in these Bylaws and who is a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Company.  Nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at such a special meeting of stockholders if the stockholder’s notice as required by Paragraph 2.8(A)(2) of these Bylaws shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not earlier than the 90th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 70th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws.  Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board of Directors, may designate from among its members one or more committees (in addition to those listed below), each of which shall be comprised of one or more of its members, and may designate one or more of its members as alternate members of any committee, who may, subject to any limitations by the Board of Directors, replace absent or disqualified members at any meeting of that committee.  Any such committee, to the extent provided in such resolution or in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the Board of Directors to the extent permitted by the DGCL.  Any such committee may authorize the seal of the Company to be affixed to all papers which may require it.  In addition to the above, such committee or committees shall have such other powers and limitations of authority as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors shall have the power at any time to change the membership of any such committee and to fill vacancies in it.  A majority of the number of members of any such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business unless a greater number is required by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.  The act of the majority of the members of a committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee, unless the act of a greater number is required by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.  Each such committee may elect a chairman and appoint such subcommittees and assistants as it may deem necessary.  Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, meetings of any committee shall be conducted in accordance with Paragraphs 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11 and 7.4 hereof.  In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of the absent or disqualified member.  Any member of any such committee elected or appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed by the Board of Directors whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Company will be served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed.  Election or appointment of a member of a committee shall not of itself create contract rights.

(C)

Any action taken by any committee of the Board of Directors shall promptly be recorded in the minutes and filed with the Secretary.

(D)

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the composition and powers of any committee of the Board of Directors are expressly subject to the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the capital stock of the Company is traded or quoted, or the Exchange Act.

(E)

Executive Committee.  The Board of Directors may create an Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, which committee shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors between regular or special meetings of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Company, except to the extent limited by the DGCL or Delaware law.

(F)

Audit Committee.  The Board of Directors may create an Audit Committee of the Board of Directors whose members shall consist solely of directors who are not employees or affiliates of the Company and have no relationship with the Company that would, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as a member of such committee.  The Audit Committee shall have and may exercise the power and authority to recommend to the Board of Directors the accounting firm to be selected by the Board of Directors or to be recommended by it for stockholder approval, as independent auditor of the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, and to act on behalf of the Board of Directors in meeting and reviewing with the independent auditors, the chief accounting officer, the chief internal auditor, if any, and the appropriate corporate officers, matters relating to corporate financial reporting and accounting procedures and policies, adequacy of financial, accounting and operating controls and the scope of the respective audits of the independent auditors and the internal auditor, if any.  The Audit Committee shall also review the results of such audits with the respective auditors and shall report the results of those reviews to the Board of Directors.  The Audit Committee shall submit to the Board of Directors any recommendations it may have from time to time with respect to financial reporting and accounting practices and policies and financial, accounting and operational controls and safeguards.  The Audit Committee may submit to the Compensation Committee any recommendations it may have with respect to the compensation of the chief accounting officer and the chief internal auditor, if any.  The Board of Directors shall, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors, designate not less than two of its qualifying members from time to time to constitute members of the Audit Committee.

(G)

Nominating Committee.  The Board of Directors may create a Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors, which committee shall have and may exercise the power and authority to recommend to the Board of Directors prior to each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company: (1) the appropriate size and composition of the Board of Directors; and (2) nominees: (a) for election to the Board of Directors for whom the Company should solicit proxies; (b) to serve as proxies in connection with the annual stockholders’ meeting; and (c) for election to all committees of the Board of Directors other than the Nominating Committee.  The Board of Directors shall, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, designate one or more of its members from time to time to constitute members of the Nominating Committee.

 

 

6

 

(H)

Compensation Committee.  The Board of Directors may create a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, whose members shall consist solely of directors who are not employees or affiliates of the Company and have no relationship with the Company that would, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as a member of such committee.  The Compensation Committee shall have and may exercise all the power and authority to (1) establish a general compensation policy for the officers and employees of the Company, including to establish and at least annually review officers’ salaries and levels of officers’ participation in the benefit plans of the Company, (2) prepare any reports that may be required by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise relating to officer compensation, (3) approve any increases in directors’ fees, and (4) exercise all other powers of the Board of Directors with respect to matters involving the compensation of employees and the employee benefits of the Company as shall be delegated by the Board of Directors to the Compensation Committee from time to time.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Compensation Committee shall have the power and authority to authorize the issuance of capital stock of the Company pursuant to any compensation or benefit plan or arrangement adopted or entered into by the Company.  The Board of Directors shall, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, designate two or more of its qualifying members from time to time to constitute members of the Compensation Committee.

3.10

Action Without a Meeting.  Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all the members of the Board of Directors, or such committee, as the case may be, and filed with the Secretary.

3.11

Board and Committee Telephone Meetings.  Subject to the provisions required or permitted by the DGCL for notice of meetings, unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board of Directors, or members of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in and hold a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Paragraph 3.11 shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

3.12

Removal.  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specific circumstances, any director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

6.1

Mandatory Indemnification.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party, or who was or is a witness without being named a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, claim, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit or proceeding, and any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit or proceeding (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such individual is or was a director or officer of the Company, or while a director or officer of the Company is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any judgments, penalties (including excise taxes), fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if it is determined that he acted in good faith and reasonably believed (A) in the case of conduct in his official capacity on behalf of the Company that his conduct was in the Company’s best interests; (B) in all other cases, that his conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the Company; and (C) with respect to any Proceeding which is a criminal action, that he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that in the event a determination is made that such person is liable to the Company or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by such person, the indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by such person in connection with the Proceeding and shall not be made in respect of any Proceeding in which such person shall have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company.  The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself be determinative of whether the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any Proceeding which is a criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.  A person shall be deemed to have been found liable in respect of any claim, issue or matter only after the person shall have been so adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom.

6.2

Determination of Indemnification.  Any indemnification under the foregoing Paragraph 6.1 (unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be made by the Company only upon a determination that indemnification of such person is proper in the circumstances by virtue of the fact that it shall have been determined that such person has met the applicable standard of conduct.  Such determination shall be made (A) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding; (B) if such quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors, designated to act in the matter by a majority of all directors, consisting solely of two or more directors who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding; (C) by special legal counsel (in a written opinion) selected by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors by a vote as set forth in clause (A) or (B) of this Paragraph 6.2, or, if such quorum cannot be obtained and such committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of all directors (in which directors who are named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding may participate); or (D) by the stockholders of the Company in a vote that excludes the shares held by directors who are named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding.

6.3

Advance of Expenses.  Reasonable expenses, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by a person who was or is a witness or who was or is named as a defendant or respondent in a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such individual is or was a director or officer of the Company, or while a director or officer of the Company is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall be paid by the Company at reasonable intervals in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, and without the determination specified in the foregoing Paragraph 6.2, upon receipt by the Company of a written affirmation by such person of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Article VI, and a written undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Article VI.  Such written undertaking shall be an unlimited obligation of such person and it may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

6.4

Permissive Indemnification.  The Board of Directors of the Company may authorize the Company to indemnify employees or agents of the Company, and to advance the reasonable expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors and officers of the Company.

6.5

Nature of Indemnification.  The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to actions taken in an official capacity and as to actions taken in any other capacity while holding such office, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

6.6

Insurance.  The Company shall have the power and authority to purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability, claim, damage, loss or risk asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of the status of such person as such, irrespective of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify and hold such person harmless against such liability under the provisions hereof.  If the insurance or other arrangement is with a person or entity that is not regularly engaged in the business of providing insurance coverage, the insurance or arrangement may provide for payment of a liability with respect to which the Company would not have the power to indemnify the person only if including coverage for the additional liability has been approved by the stockholders of the Company.  Without limiting the power of the Company to procure or maintain any kind of insurance or other arrangement, the Company may, for the benefit of persons indemnified by the Company, (A) create a trust fund; (B) establish any form of self-insurance; (C) secure its indemnity obligation by grant of a security interest or other lien on the assets of the Company; or (D) establish a letter of credit, guaranty, or surety arrangement.  The insurance or other arrangement may be procured, maintained, or established within the Company or with any insurer or other person deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors regardless of whether all or part of the stock or other securities of the insurer or other person are owned in whole or part by the Company.  In the absence of fraud, the judgment of the Board of Directors as to the terms and conditions of the insurance or other arrangement and the identity of the insurer or other person participating in the arrangement shall be conclusive and the insurance or arrangement shall not be voidable and shall not subject the directors approving the insurance or arrangement to liability, on any ground, regardless of whether directors participating in the approval are beneficiaries of the insurance or arrangement.

6.7

Notice.  Any indemnification or advance of expenses to a present or former director of the Company in accordance with this Article VI shall be reported in writing to the stockholders of the Company with or before the notice or waiver of notice of the next stockholders’ meeting or with or before the next submission of a consent to action without a meeting and, in any case, within the next twelve month period immediately following the indemnification or advance.

6.8

Change of Control.  Following any “change of control” of the Company of the type required to be reported under Item 5.01 of Form 8-K promulgated under the Exchange Act, any determination as to entitlement to indemnification shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the claimant which independent legal counsel shall be retained by the Board of Directors on behalf of the Company.

6.9

Amendment.  Any amendment or repeal of this Article VI shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

Independence.  The Board believes that its primary function is to manage the Company’s business in the best interests of the stockholders and that those interests are best served by having a substantial number of objective, independent representatives on the Board.  Consequently, if possible, the Board will seek to have at all times, a majority of the directors will be “independent.”  However, if independent directors cannot be approved, the Board shall not be deemed to be in violation of these Principles.  For this purpose, a director shall be considered to be “independent” only if the Board affirmatively determines that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company that may impair, or appear to impair, the director’s ability to make independent judgments.

With respect to each director, the Board’s assessment and determination of such director’s independence shall be made by the remaining independent members of the Board.  In each case, the Board shall broadly consider all relevant facts and circumstances and shall apply the following standards:

(i)

A director will not be considered to be “independent” if any of the following conditions exist at the time of determination or existed at any time during the immediately preceding five-year period:

·

The director is employed by the Company;

·

An immediate family member of the director is employed as an officer of the Company;

·

The director is employed by or affiliated with the Company’s independent auditor;

·

An immediate family member of the director is employed as a partner, principal or manager by the Company’s independent auditor; or

·

An executive officer of the Company serves on the board of directors of a company that employs the director or employs an immediate family member of the director as an officer.



2

 


For purposes of the above, “immediate family member” includes spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and other persons living in the director’s home (not including employees of the director).

(ii)

The following relationships will not be considered to be material relationships that would impair, or appear to impair, a director’s ability to make independent judgments and, therefore, will not alone prevent the director from being considered to be “independent”:

·

The director is an executive officer of a company that does business with the Company and the other company’s annual sales to, or purchases from, the Company are less than one percent of the Company’s annual revenues and less than one percent of the annual revenues of the other company;

·

The director is an executive officer of a company that is indebted to the Company or is an executive officer of a company to which the Company is indebted and, in either case, the aggregate amount of such debt is less than one percent of the Company’s total consolidated assets and less than one percent of the total consolidated assets of the other company; and

·

The director serves as an executive officer, director or trustee of a charitable organization to which the Company or any of its executive officers contributes and the combined annual contributions to such organization by the Company and its executive officers are less than one percent of that organization’s total annual charitable receipts.

The Board will review annually all commercial and charitable relationships between each director and the Company and will make a determination of such director’s independence, and the Company will disclose the Board’s determinations in the proxy statement relating to the annual meeting of stockholders.  If the Board determines that a director who has a relationship with the Company that is not described in this Paragraph 4(b) is nevertheless “independent,” such disclosures shall also include the basis for such determination.

The Board recognizes that members of the Audit Committee or the Compensation Committee may be subject to more stringent standards of “independence” pursuant to applicable rules and regulations, including the listing requirements of the various stock exchanges, accounting and auditing rules and federal securities or tax laws.  Any such more stringent standards will be reflected in the charter of the respective committee.

5.

Size of Board and Selection Process.  The number of directors constituting the full Board shall be determined from time to time by the Board, within the limits prescribed by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, taking into account the size and breadth of the Company’s business and the need for Board diversity.

(a)

The Governance and Nominating Committee shall be responsible for selecting and recommending nominees for director positions to the full Board, which shall in turn submit its recommendations to the stockholders for election.  Stockholders may propose nominees for consideration through the procedures communicated to the stockholders in the annual proxy statement, and the Governance and Nominating Committee shall duly consider all such nominees.

(b)

Whenever a vacancy occurs in the Board, either because of a newly-created director position or the removal or retirement of an existing director, the Board, acting on the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee, shall select a person to fill the vacancy and that person shall serve as a director until the next annual meeting of stockholders, at which time such person (or another Board nominee) shall be submitted to the stockholders for election to the Board.

6.

Retirement or Withdrawal of Directors; Conflicting Commitments.  The Board believes that directors should serve only so long as they add value to the Board.  A director’s contributions to the Board and ability to continue to contribute productively will be considered by the Governance and Nominating Committee each time a director is considered for renomination.  In that regard, the results of the annual Board self-evaluation described below will be an important factor in determining whether a director should be renominated.  No director will be asked to retire or withdraw from the Board without the approval of a majority of the remaining independent directors.



3

 


 

Recognizing that the most important factor in renomination considerations is a director’s contributions to Board deliberations and processes rather than length of service, the Board has not established any term limits on Board service.  However, directors will not be nominated for election to the Board after their 75th birthday.

Each director must be willing and able to devote sufficient time and attention to carrying out his or her duties and responsibilities effectively.  While the Board acknowledges the value in having directors with significant experience in other businesses and activities, it also understands that effective service requires substantial commitment.  Consequently, although the Board has not established specific guidelines regarding a director’s non-Company activities, it will take the nature and extent of those activities into account in renomination considerations.

Each director shall notify the Governance and Nominating Committee (a) prior to accepting a directorship or other position of responsibility with another company, or (b) prior to or promptly following a significant change in personal circumstances (including a change in employment or principal job responsibilities).  The Governance and Nominating Committee will review and evaluate the circumstances and will make a recommendation to the full Board regarding the propriety of the director’s continued service on the Board.  If the Board determines that the director’s continued service on the Board would not be appropriate under the circumstances, the director shall offer his or her resignation.

7.

Presiding Director.  The Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee (as such position is filled from time to time) shall serve as the Presiding Director.  The principal responsibility of the Presiding Director shall be to chair the executive sessions of the non-employee directors (as described below) and to perform such other roles and responsibilities as are assigned from time to time by the Governance and Nominating Committee or the full Board.  In addition, in the event of an unforeseen vacancy in the position of Chairman of the Board, the Presiding Director shall serve as interim Chairman of the Board for the sole purpose of calling and holding a special meeting of the Board to elect a new Chairman.  If, at any time, the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee is unable or unwilling to serve as the Presiding Director (or, in connection with any meeting, is absent or otherwise unable to perform the duties of Presiding Director at such meeting), then the most senior independent director (based on length of service on the Board) shall fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the Presiding Director until such time as the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee is again able and willing to perform those duties and responsibilities.

8.

Conduct of Board Meetings.

(a)

Number of Meetings and Attendance.  The Board shall be responsible for determining the appropriate number of regular meetings to hold each fiscal year.  Currently, the Board holds about six meetings each year.  Each director is expected to attend all regular meetings of the Board and of the committees of which he or she is a member, and is expected to make every effort to attend any specially called Board or committee meetings.  In addition, each director is expected to attend the annual meeting of stockholders each year.  Except for the executive sessions of non-employee directors (as discussed below) and unless otherwise requested by the Board, the President, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel shall attend all Board meetings.  In addition, the Chairman may request other members of management to attend all or portions of Board meetings for discussion purposes or to make appropriate presentations.

(b)

Meeting Agenda.  The Board shall be responsible for its agenda, and each director is encouraged to suggest agenda items to the Chairman or the Presiding Director at any time.  Prior to each Board meeting, the Presiding Director will review the specific agenda items for that meeting and, if needed, discuss the agenda with the Chairman.

(c)

Pre-Meeting Materials.  Prior to each regularly scheduled Board meeting, the Chairman shall distribute appropriate written materials relating to the substantive agenda items to be discussed at that meeting (unless confidentiality or sensitivity concerns suggest that materials be distributed only at the meeting).  Each director is encouraged to offer suggestions to either the Chairman or the Presiding Director regarding the nature or extent of information or materials that are regularly distributed in advance of Board meetings.



4


(d)

Executive Sessions of Non-Employee and Independent Directors.  From time to time, the directors who are not also the Company employees shall hold “executive sessions” in which they meet without the directors who are the Company’s employees.  An executive session of the non-employee directors shall be a standing agenda item at no less than two regular meetings of the Board each year and, in addition, may be called at any time by the Presiding Director or at the request of a majority of the non-employee directors.  The agenda for each executive session of the non-employee directors shall be determined by the Presiding Director, but shall focus principally on the question of whether management is performing its responsibilities in a manner consistent with the direction of the Board.

In addition, the “independent” directors (as determined pursuant to these Principles) shall meet alone in executive session at no less than two regular meetings of the Board each year.  Additional executive sessions of the independent directors may be called at any time by the Presiding Director or at the request of a majority of the independent directors.  The General Counsel shall attend executive sessions of the non-employee and independent directors as requested by the Presiding Director.

9.

Committees of the Board.  The Board shall maintain the following committees to assist it in discharging its oversight responsibilities:

(a)

Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities to provide oversight with respect to financial statements and reports and other disclosures provided to stockholders, the system of internal controls and the audit process.

(b)

Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee reviews and approves, on behalf of the Board, the amounts and types of compensation to be paid to the Company’s executive officers and the non-employee directors; reviews and approves, on behalf of the Board, all bonus and equity compensation to be paid to other employees of the Company; and administers the Company’s benefit and equity compensation plans.

(c)

Governance and Nominating Committee.  The Governance and Nominating Committee oversees all matters of corporate governance for the Company, including formulating and recommending to the full Board governance policies and processes and monitoring and safeguarding the independence of the Board.  In addition, the Governance and Nominating Committee selects, evaluates and recommends to the full Board qualified candidates for election or appointment as directors.

(d)

Finance Committee.  The Finance Committee oversees all areas of corporate finance, including capital structure, equity and debt financings, capital expenditures, cash management, banking activities and relationships, investments, foreign exchange activities and share repurchase activities.

(e)

Executive Committee.  The Executive Committee may exercise all of the authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business affairs of the Company to the extent authorized by the resolution providing for the Executive Committee or by subsequent resolution adopted by a majority of the whole Board of Directors.

The Board shall convene other standing or special committees as it deems appropriate.  Each committee is governed by a written charter approved by the full Board.  Once approved, each committee charter shall be considered to be an integral part of these Principles.  Each committee shall review its charter at least annually and shall report the results of such review (including any recommended changes) to the full Board.  Whenever a committee, pursuant to its charter, makes a decision or takes an action on behalf of the Board, the committee, through its chair, shall promptly make a report to, or otherwise notify, the full Board of such decision or action.

10.

Membership.   The membership of each committee (including the number and identity of directors comprising the committee and the director designated to serve as committee chair) shall be determined by the full Board, acting with the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee.  The membership of the committees shall be rotated on a periodic basis.  The Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Governance and Nominating Committee shall be comprised entirely of directors who (a) are considered to be “independent” pursuant to the standards described above under “Board Composition and Structure - Independence” and (b) satisfy any additional or supplemental independence standards applicable to the particular committee that have been established under any applicable law, rule or regulation.



5

 


 

11.

Conduct of Committee Meetings.  Within the confines of its purpose (as stated in its charter), each committee shall be responsible for determining the frequency and length of committee meetings and the agenda of items to be discussed.  The committee chair, in consultation with appropriate members of management, shall develop the agenda for each meeting and shall prepare and distribute appropriate written materials prior to the meeting.  The committee chair, generally with the assistance of a designated member of management, shall be responsible for ensuring minutes of each committee meeting are properly recorded, and the Secretary shall incorporate these minutes into the official Board minute book.  The committee chair shall be responsible for appraising the full Board on a regular basis of all committee proceedings, determinations and recommendations.

Any director shall be entitled to attend the meeting of any committee, regardless of whether he or she is a member of that committee.  Unless otherwise requested by the committee chair, appropriate members of management shall also attend committee meetings for discussion purposes or to make appropriate presentations.

12.

Other Board Operations and Practices.

(a)

Access to Senior Management.  Each director shall have complete and open access to management.  Directors are encouraged to coordinate such access or contact with management through the Chairman or the Board Liaison Office.

(b)

Director Orientation and Education.  The Board Liaison Office, under the guidance of the CEO, the Chief Financial Officer and the General Counsel, shall be responsible for providing orientation materials and arranging orientation meetings for new directors, as well as periodically providing materials or briefing sessions for all directors on subjects that would assist them in discharging their Board duties.  Each new director shall, within six months of election to the Board, spend a day at the Company’s headquarters or other facilities for personal briefing by senior management on the Company’s business, its strategic plans, its financial statements and its key policies and practices.

(c)

On-Site Days.  Each director is expected to spend at least one day each year on-site at the Company to learn about and review in detail an area of the Company’s business.  The day will be spent with management and employees in that business area and the agenda will focus on the operations of that business, the particular strategic and risk issues facing the business and the opportunities presented.  These on-site days will be coordinated through the Board Liaison Office.

(d)

Self-Evaluation.  The Board will conduct an annual self-evaluation to identify areas of concern or potential issues relating to Board and committee processes, performance and effectiveness and to assess and evaluate the overall effectiveness of individual directors.  These evaluations will be administered by the Governance and Nominating Committee and will be reviewed and discussed with the full Board.

(e)

Evaluation of CEO.  On an annual basis, the Board shall evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the CEO, as presented by the Compensation Committee.

(f)

Management Succession and Development Planning.  The Board, with recommendations from the Compensation Committee, shall approve and maintain a succession plan for the CEO.  In addition, on an annual basis, the CEO shall present to the Board a report on succession planning for senior management and a report on management development.

(g)

Compensation of Board.  The Compensation Committee shall have the responsibility for recommending to the Board compensation and benefits for non-employee directors.  The Board believes that the amount of director compensation should be fair and competitive in relation to director compensation at other companies with businesses similar in size and scope to the Company, the type of compensation should align directors’ interests with the long-term interests of stockholders, and the structure of the compensation program should be simple, transparent and easy for stockholders to understand.  On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee shall review non-employee director compensation and benefits (including insurance and indemnity) with the full Board.



6


 

(h)

Reporting of Concerns to Independent Directors or the Audit Committee.  Anyone who has a concern about the Company’s conduct, accounting, financial reporting, internal controls or auditing matters, may communicate that concern directly to the independent directors (through the Presiding Director) or to the Audit Committee (through the committee chair).  Such communications may be confidential or anonymous, and may be e-mailed, submitted in writing or reported by phone to the Company’s Business Ethics Office.  All such concerns will be forwarded to the appropriate directors for their review and will be simultaneously reviewed and addressed by the Business Ethics Office or the Office of the Ombuds in the same way that other concerns are addressed by management.  The status of all outstanding concerns addressed to the independent directors or the Audit Committee will be reported to the full Board on a quarterly basis.  The independent directors, the Presiding Director or the Audit Committee may direct special treatment, including the retention of outside advisors or counsel, for any concern addressed to them.  The Company’s Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers prohibits any employee from retaliating or taking any adverse action against anyone for raising or helping to resolve an integrity concern.

(i)

Access to Independent Advisors.  The Board and its committees, as well as the non-employee directors acting in executive session as described under “Conduct of Board Meetings - Executive Sessions of Non-Employee and Independent Directors,” shall have the right at any time to retain independent outside financial, legal or other advisors.

(j)

Stockholder Ratification of Independent Auditors.  Although the Board acknowledges that current law, rules and regulations, as well as the Charter of the Board’s Audit Committee, require the Company’s independent auditors to be engaged, retained and supervised by the Audit Committee, the Board considers the selection of independent auditors to be an important matter of stockholder concern and considers a proposal for stockholders to ratify such selection to be an important opportunity for stockholders to provide direct feedback to the Board on an important issue of corporate governance.  Consequently, the Board will present such a proposal to the stockholders in the proxy statement related to each annual meeting of stockholders.

(k)

Board Interaction with Institutional Investors, the Press and Others.  The Board believes that management should speak for the Company.  Individual directors may, from time to time, meet or otherwise communicate with various constituencies that are involved with the Company.  However, it is expected that directors will do so only with the knowledge of the Chairman.

(l)

Review of Board Operations.  The Governance and Nominating Committee shall periodically review the Board’s operations under these Principles and shall report to the full Board any material deviations.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

GOLDLAND HOLDINGS CO.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT

Introduction

This Code of Business Conduct (“Code”) applies to Goldland Holdings Co., a Delaware corporation, and all of its subsidiaries, together referred to below as the “Company.”

We expect each employee to use sound judgment to help us maintain appropriate compliance procedures and to carry out our business in compliance with laws and high ethical standards.  Each employee of the Company is expected to read this Code and demonstrate personal commitment to the standards set forth in this Code.

Our officers and other supervising employees are expected to be leaders in demonstrating this personal commitment to the standards outlined in this Code and recognizing indications of illegal or improper conduct.

All employees are expected to report appropriately any indications of illegal or improper conduct.

An employee who does not comply with the standards set forth in this Code may be subject to discipline in light of the nature of the violation, including termination of employment.

The Code of Business Conduct is not a detailed guide for all situations you may face.  No code can cover every possible situation and no code is a substitute for good judgment and timely communication, given the specific factual situation.  Nevertheless, it is a basic statement of what is expected of you and what you can expect from the Company.  It is critical that you read and understand this document.

How to Report Your Concerns

·

Where to Direct Questions.  If you have questions about this Code or concerns about any of the matters listed herein, please first consider speaking with your immediate manager or supervisor.  If you do not wish to communicate with that person on the matter, or if you conclude that speaking with your immediate manager has not produced results, please feel free to contact any member of our management or director level personnel in the finance, legal, or human resources departments.

·

Raising Ethical Concerns is Protected.  Each of our employees has a responsibility to report any concerns that others in the Company or our agents may have engaged in illegal or unethical conduct relating to our business.  If an employee knows of illegal or unethical conduct and allows it to continue by not reporting it, this failure may lead to discipline.  We do not discriminate against employees who honestly report their concerns to us.  In addition, under federal law, the Company may not discharge or otherwise discriminate against an employee for any lawful act by the employee to provide information or assist in an investigation by us or by the government of violations of federal securities laws.

 

·

Exception: Deliberately False Claims Are Prohibited.  However, it is a violation of our standards for any employee to communicate any information which the employee knows to be false, including a knowingly false report of illegal or unethical conduct.

 

·

Where to Report Your Concerns.  If you wish to report or discuss any problem concerning the Company or the matters outlined below, please promptly inform your supervising manager, or report the matter to our in-house General Counsel.  If you wish to communicate any matter anonymously, you are free to do so.  We will maintain the confidentiality of your communication to the extent possible given the Company’s obligations to take appropriate action under applicable laws.  Communications intended to be confidential should be mailed in writing without indicating your name or addressed to the Company at our principal office address.  You should keep a copy of this communication yourself in the event you need to show that you took steps to correct a problem you observed.  There is a form for the purpose of reporting any such concern attached to this Code.

-1-

 

·

Reporting Accounting Related Concerns.  In addition to the above, if you have concerns about the Code of Ethical Conduct for Financial Managers, accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters relating to the Company, you should consult our policy on Reporting Suspected Financial Integrity Concerns described in this Code.

·

Suggestions for Effective Communication.  In making a report, including an anonymous report, you should provide as much information as possible in order to allow an investigator to evaluate the report.  If specific documents or computer files will show the violation, these should be identified.  If possible, you should provide a means by which you can be contacted in the event an investigator needs follow-up information or wishes to report back to you as to what he or she has learned.

Our Commitment to Stockholders

We expect our employees to share a commitment to protect our assets and manage our business in the best interests of our stockholders.

·

Accuracy of Our Records and Reporting.  All financial and other business information pertaining to the Company must be accurately recorded, all financial records and transactions must adhere to our system of internal controls and accounting requirements, and no one shall enter any false or artificial information in our records or reporting systems.  All Company information must be reported honestly and accurately, whether in internal personnel, safety, or other records or in information we release to the public or file with government agencies.

·

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  We are required by SEC rules to maintain effective “disclosure controls and procedures” so that financial and non-financial information we are required to report in our SEC filings is timely and accurately reported both to our senior management and in the filings we make.  All employees are expected, within the scope of their employment duties, to support the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.

·

Stock Trading and Confidential Information Policy.  The Company’s stock trading policy prohibits any employee who is aware of material non-public information concerning the Company from buying or selling securities of the Company or engaging in any other action to take advantage of that information.  This policy also applies to information relating to any other company, including our customers, partners or suppliers, obtained in the course of employment.  Employees must not disclose or “tip” any of this material nonpublic information to family, friends, or others outside the Company.  You should consult our Insider Trading Policy, which sets forth more fully your obligations in this regard.

·

No Selective Disclosure.  In addition, SEC rules also prohibit selective disclosure of material nonpublic information to those outside the Company in most circumstances.  Therefore, all employees are expected to assist the Company in keeping all material nonpublic information about the Company strictly confidential unless and until the Company makes an authorized press release or other authorized public communication or filing,

·

Information to the Public.  Our policy is to provide timely public dissemination of material information about our business only through our employees authorized for this purpose.  Employees are not under any circumstance to discuss the Company’s financial, business, or other information with the press (except for those employees expressly authorized for this purpose) or on any Internet or other “discussion board,” “chat room,” or similar forum.  Requests from the media, analysts, or stockholders about the Company must be forwarded to our Chief Financial Officer for review by our professional staff having responsibility for these matters.  Please consult our policy statement on Disclosure of Company Information for additional information regarding your obligations in this regard.

·

Protection of Company Assets.  Each employee is personally responsible to use the Company’s assets only for our lawful, corporate purposes approved by management.  All employees should help the Company protect its assets from misuse, theft, damage, or other loss.  Improper or unauthorized personal use of Company assets is prohibited.

·

Intellectual Property.  Employees should help the Company maintain the value of its intellectual property by using care to keep our trade secrets and other nonpublic information confidential, and limit access to nonpublic information to those authorized to use it in their duties for the Company.  If customers or suppliers provide nonpublic information to us in their dealings with us, our employees are expected to protect that information in the same manner as the Company’s property.  Employees should also consult the Employee Confidentiality Agreement they entered into upon employment with the Company and must abide by its terms.

·

Communications.  Employees are expected to use appropriate judgment and discretion in their email, memos, notes and other formal and informal communications relating to our business.  Communications relating to our business must avoid inappropriate or derogatory comments about other individuals or companies, unprofessional language, and unauthorized financial, legal, or business statements.

·

Retention of Records.  Employees are expected to follow the records retention and destruction policies that we implement and communicate from time to time.  It is the Company’s policy not to destroy or alter our records or documents (whether in paper form, emails, or otherwise) in response to or in anticipation of any legal proceeding or government inquiry or investigation.  Federal criminal liability may be imposed on any person who (i) corruptly alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object with the intent to impair its availability for use in an official proceeding, or (ii) knowingly alters, covers up, falsifies, or makes a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede or obstruct the investigation or administration of any matter by a federal government agency or bankruptcy court.

Our Commitment to Customers and Business Partners

We are committed to excellence in service and performance for our customers, and building mutually advantageous alliances with our business partners.

·

Customer Relationships.  Our policy is to build lasting relationships with our customers through superior development and support, and honest sales and marketing.  We will comply with applicable advertising laws and standards, including a commitment that our advertising and marketing will be truthful, non-deceptive, and fair, and will be backed up with evidence before advertising claims are made.  Our policy also prohibits making false or deceptive statements about our competitors, and giving or accepting kickbacks, bribes, inappropriate gifts, and other matters prohibited under the conflict of interest topic in this Code.

·

Protecting Information about Others.  We are committed to treating confidential information of our customers and business partners with at least the level of care we use to protect our own proprietary or confidential information.  All employees are expected to use sound judgment in limiting access to confidential information about our customers and business partners to those individuals in the Company who need to know this information to carry out their jobs.

·

Commitment to Quality.  Our long-term reputation and business viability depend upon our continued maintenance of high quality in the products and services we provide.  We are committed to deliver our products only in accordance with the documentation, safety, quality control, and other procedures we maintain from time to time.

·

Special Concerns with Government Customers.  Special legal and contracting rules usually apply to our dealings with domestic and foreign government agencies.  Many national, state, or other local governmental agencies impose bidding or procurement requirements, special billing and accounting rules, and restrictions on subcontractors or agents we may engage.  Domestic or foreign laws or regulations may also impose strict limits on any kind of benefits or gifts offered to officials, including limitations on hiring former government officials or their family members.  Our employees who deal with domestic or foreign government agencies are expected to know the laws applicable to these business activities, and to use sound judgment to avoid any violations of the letter or spirit of the laws prohibiting corrupt practices in connection with government contracting.

·

Suppliers.  Our contracts with suppliers of products and services to us are to be based exclusively on the best interests of the Company and its business, reflect a fair price for the deliverables provided to us, and documented in accordance with appropriate approval, contracting, and internal control procedures.

·

Business with Third Parties.  We expect that our consultants, agents, distributors, subcontractors, and other business partners will adhere to lawful and ethical business practices.  It is important to the Company’s reputation that we avoid doing business with companies which violate applicable laws or have reputations which could harm our business.  Our policy prohibits engaging agents or other third parties to do indirectly what we as a company should not do under our own policies outlined in this Code.

Our Commitment to Each Other

We expect each employee to promote a positive working environment for all.

·

Respect for Our Employees.  The Company’s employment decisions will be based on reasons related to our business, such as job performance, individual skills and talents, and other business-related factors.  Company policy requires adherence to all national, state, or other local employment laws.  Company policy prohibits discrimination in any aspect of employment based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual preference, marital status, national origin, disability, or age, within the meaning of applicable laws.

·

Abusive or Harassing Conduct Prohibited.  The Company’s policy prohibits abusive or harassing conduct by our employees toward others, such as unwelcome sexual advances, comments based on ethnic, religious, or racial aspects, or other non-business, personal comments or conduct which makes others uncomfortable in their employment with us.  We encourage employees to report harassment or other inappropriate conduct as soon as it occurs.  Supervisors must report harassment that they observe or which comes to their attention.

·

Health and Safety.  We expect all employees to help us to maintain a healthy and safe working environment and to report promptly any unsafe or hazardous conditions or materials, injuries, and accidents connected with our business.  Employees must not work under the influence of any substances that would impair the safety of themselves or others.  All threats or acts of physical violence or intimidation are prohibited, regardless of whether the speaker intended them to be threatening.

Competition

We are committed to compete effectively, but lawfully, in our business markets.

·

Compliance with Antitrust Laws.  The Company and its employees must comply with the antitrust and unfair competition laws of the countries in which the Company engages in business.  These laws vary by country and can be complex.  Employees having roles which may implicate antitrust laws are responsible for knowing the laws that apply to their business activities, and should speak to the Legal Department if any questions arise.  Generally, these laws prohibit or regulate attempts to monopolize or otherwise restrain trade, selling products below cost, price fixing or other agreements with competitors that would divide or allocate customers or otherwise harm customers, “tying” arrangements that require a customer who wishes to buy a given product to buy other products or services, artificially maintaining prices, and certain other overly restrictive agreements.  Our employees must not exchange nonpublic sales information with competitors.

·

Fair Methods of Competition.  The Company is committed to competition on a lawful and ethical basis.  Our employees must not use improper or illegal means of gaining competitive information that is confidential or proprietary information owned by others.  Our employees must not use or disclose confidential or proprietary information which they may have from past employment with other employers.

Conflicts of Interest

We expect all of our employees to avoid allowing their private interests to interfere, or appear to interfere, with the interests of the Company as a whole.

 

 



-4-

 



 

 

·

Generally.  Employees are expected to make or participate in business decisions and actions in the course of their employment with us based on the best interests of the Company as a whole, and not based on personal relationships or benefits.  Although some general guidelines are provided in this Code, our employees are expected to apply sound judgment to avoid conflicts of interest that could negatively affect the Company or its business, whether or not we have specific rules for that particular situation.  Employees are expected to disclose to us any situations that may involve inappropriate or improper conflicts of interests affecting them personally or affecting other employees or those with whom we do business, as described in “How to Report Your Concerns” discussed above.

·

Business Referrals.  A conflict of interest could arise if an employee of the Company, an immediate family member, or close personal friend has a substantial financial or other personal stake in a company that transacts business with us.  Employees should not use their position with the Company to influence the negotiation, bidding, or selection process of these business transactions.  Employees in a potential conflict of interest situation should disclose the relationship or interest to and seek guidance from their supervisors.  In certain circumstances, the employee and his or her supervisor will need to seek the prior written authorization of our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer.  In similar circumstances, our executive officers shall disclose such interest to and obtain the approval of our Audit Committee.  In considering whether to approve the business transaction, we may take into account whether there is likelihood that the relationship will improperly influence the decision to do business with the company and whether we would have a valid business reason to do business with the company if the relationship did not exist.

·

Personal Investments.  Generally, our employees must avoid investments in other companies with which we do business (or that are our competitors) if these investments could create the fact or appearance of a conflict of interest.  Investing in less than five percent in publicly traded securities of other companies is generally not prohibited so long as there is no violation of our policy relating to trading while in possession of material nonpublic information about other companies.  Employees desiring to invest in more than five percent in publicly traded securities of other companies must first disclose such proposed investment to his or her supervisor and obtain the prior written authorization of our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer.  Our executive officers shall disclose the proposed investment to and obtain the approval of our Audit Committee.

·

Corporate Opportunities.   Employees must also refrain from purchasing property or otherwise taking for themselves personally a business opportunity that they learn about through their employment with us or use of the Company’s information.

·

Prohibited Competition.  Employees may not compete with us during the term of their employment, and may not initiate any steps to compete with us while still employed by the Company.

·

Outside Compensation and Activities.  While employed by us, our employees must not work for or seek or accept personal payments from any customer, supplier, competitor, distributor, reseller, or other business partner of the Company, except as approved in writing by an authorized officer of the Company.  Trade secrets and other nonpublic know-how and information learned at the Company must not be used in activities outside the Company or in other ways that could harm our business.

·

Outside Board Service.  Employees are required to obtain prior written authorization from the Company for service as a director, general partner, manager, officer, or similar position with any privately-held or public business entity or as an appointee to any kind of governmental or quasi-governmental agency or body.  Service solely as a director or trustee of nonprofit corporations engaged in charitable activities does not require approval unless that activity could involve improper conflicts of interest.

·

Gifts and Gratuities.  Our employees must not seek or accept gifts or gratuities in the form of services or other items of value from our customers, other business partners, or other parties with whom the Company contracts.  Our employees must not offer or give anything of value that could be or appear to be a bribe or otherwise illegal payment.  These prohibitions do not apply to items of truly nominal value such as generally free promotional items, assuming these items are not otherwise prohibited by applicable law or custom.  Employees should never accept anything that would appear to create a conflict of interest.  In the unusual situation where refusal to accept a true gift might hurt our business, be sure to consult the appropriate officer or manager of the Company concerning the proper means of resolving the situation.

·

Business Entertainment.  Extending or accepting invitations to reasonable meal, public event, and similar business activities incurred for bona fide business purposes are generally acceptable, assuming the costs are not disproportionate to the business purpose and otherwise do not create the fact or appearance of a conflict of interest.  Our employees are expected to avoid sponsoring or accepting invitations to highly expensive events funded with corporate funds or personal celebrations such as birthday parties with costs paid with corporate funds at which the business purpose may appear incidental.  Attending entertainment events which may appear contrary to professional standards of conduct should be avoided.  Government officials should not be invited to entertainment events without first assuring that appropriate management of the Company approves the invitation and confirms that it is not prohibited by law.

·

Travel.  Employees are expected to comply with the Company’s travel policies in effect from time to time.  We expect that all travel-related expenses must be used, accurately reported, and recorded in compliance with these policies.  If these expenses are to be paid by a customer or other business partner of ours, or if you wish to pay the expenses of your customer or other business contact, or any representative of a government agency, traveling to our location, your manager or one of our officers must approve these in advance.

Legal Compliance Generally

We expect our employees to be committed to pro-active compliance with all applicable laws and regulations affecting the Company and its business.  In addition to the laws referred to elsewhere in this Code:

·

General Standard of Compliance.  Our employees must comply with all applicable laws and regulations in every location in which we conduct our business.  Competitive factors, personal goals, and pressure from supervisors, customers, or others shall never be an acceptable excuse for violating applicable laws.

·

Prohibited Corrupt Practices.  The Company must comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws that apply wherever we do business.  Our employees and agents must not directly or indirectly offer or make a corrupt payment to any domestic or foreign government officials or employees of enterprises owned or controlled by a government agency.  Our employees must not engage in any form of fraud, including but not limited to embezzlement, theft, hiding, or misuse of Company assets, or falsification of records.

 

·

Prohibited Political Contributions.  Unless first approved by an executive officer of the Company, none of our employees shall contribute in the Company’s name or on the Company’s behalf, any cash, services, or property of any kind for or in support of any political candidate, committee, initiative, or activity.  No lobbying efforts or contracts shall be undertaken in the Company’s name or on the Company’s behalf without the prior approval of the Chief Financial Officer or the Legal Department.

 

·

Import and Export Restrictions.  The Company and its employees must comply with applicable restrictions under domestic and foreign laws relating to importing or exporting technology, products, services, or regulated information.  Employees who travel on Company business to foreign countries are expected to know and abide by applicable import/export and similar restrictions.

 

·

Environmental Laws.  We respect the policies and requirements of domestic and foreign laws aimed at protecting the environment.  We expect a commitment from our employees to report appropriately any violations of environmental laws and any exposure to hazardous materials or substances which are not being handled or disposed of properly.

 

·

Intellectual Property Laws.  We expect our employees to conduct our business and use our business systems and facilities in ways which avoid any violations of copyright, trademark, service mark, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights held by third parties.

 

 



-6-

 



·

Software Development.  Our software products must be free and clear of any improper copying or unauthorized use of software code or confidential information owned by third parties.  It is against Company policy to intentionally adopt the “look and feel” of software or other products of third parties.  Our employees engaged in the development, implementation, and maintenance of our software must avoid any actions that would impair our rightful ownership of our software or our reputation for providing reliable, proprietary software products.

Our Communities

We respect our employees’ involvement in the community, charity, and political activities and causes they may choose, so long as these activities do not interfere with job responsibilities to us.  No employee may represent that the employee’s views or activities represent the Company.  Our employees must not engage in any unwanted solicitations or pressure toward other employees relating to charitable, religious, or political causes.
