Bylaws of

THE HEMPACCO CO., INC.

a Nevada Corporation

 

Article One

Office

 

The Corporation's principal office in the State of Nevada will be located in the County Washoe, Nevada. The Registered Office of the Corporation required by the NRS Chapter 78 of Nevada to be maintained in the State of Nevada may be, but need not be, identical with the principal office in the State of Nevada. The Board of Directors may change the address of either office from time to time.

 

Article Two

Shareholders

 

Section 2.01 Annual Meeting

 

The annual meeting of the Corporation's Shareholders will be held at the time and place designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. The purpose of the annual meeting is to elect Directors to succeed those whose terms expire as of the date of the annual meeting, and to transact any other corporate business arising before the meeting. Any Shareholder may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to order an annual meeting if one is not held within 15 months after the last annual meeting.

 

Section 2.02 Special Meetings

 

Special meetings of the Shareholders may be called at any time for any purpose by the President, by a Vice President, or by a majority of the Board of Directors. The special meeting will be called by the President, by a Vice President, the Secretary, or any Director of the Corporation upon the written request of the holders of 20% of all the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the business to be transacted at the meeting. The written request must state the meeting's purpose. The Shareholders must restrict the business transacted at all special meetings of Shareholders to the purpose stated in the notice of the meeting.

 

Section 2.03 Meeting Location

 

The Shareholders will hold all meetings at the Corporation's principal office or elsewhere in the United States, or at such other place as designated by the Board of Directors and specified in the notice of the meeting.

Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors may adopt procedures authorizing any annual or special meeting of Shareholders to be held solely by means of remote communication rather than in person at a physical location. Subject to any procedures the Board of Directors may adopt, Shareholders and any proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of Shareholders may participate in and vote at the meeting by conference telephone or other similar electronic communications equipment, and will be deemed present in person at the meeting for all purposes of these Bylaws, whether the meeting is held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication. Any procedures promulgated by the Board of Directors must require that all of the Shareholders and any proxyholders participating in the meeting can hear and speak to each other at the same time. If any Shareholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, the Corporation must maintain a record of the vote or other action taken.

 

Section 2.04 Meeting Notice

 

The Secretary will mail written notice of each Shareholder meeting, postage prepaid, to each Shareholder of record entitled to vote at the Shareholder's address as it appears on the books of the Corporation. The Secretary will mail the notice at least 10 days but no more than 60 days before the meeting. The notice must state the place, day, and hour at which the meeting will be held and, in the case of any special meeting, must state briefly the meeting's purpose. If any Shareholder meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or place, the Secretary need not give notice of the new date, time, or place if this information is announced at the meeting before adjourning. But if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, the Secretary must give notice of the adjourned meeting to Shareholders as of the new record date.

 

Section 2.05 Shareholder Meetings

 

If all of the Shareholders entitled to vote meet at any place, within or outside the State of Nevada, and consent to the holding of a meeting, the meeting will be valid without call or notice, and the Shareholders may take any action at the meeting.

 

Section 2.06 Action without Meeting by Written Consent

 

Any action required or permitted to be taken at a Shareholder meeting may be taken without a meeting when all of the Shareholders entitled to vote on the subject matter sign a written consent to the action. These signed consents will have the same force and effect as the unanimous vote of all the Shareholders at a meeting duly held. The Secretary must file these consents with the minutes of the Shareholder meetings.

 

Section 2.07 Quorum

 

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote will constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Shareholders, except as otherwise specifically provided by law, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, or a resolution of the Board of Directors requiring satisfaction of a greater or lesser quorum requirement. If less than a quorum attends a meeting, the meeting may be adjourned from time to time until a quorum is present. A majority vote of the Shareholders present or represented may adjourn the meeting without any notice other than by announcement at the meeting. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is later present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted if the meeting had been held as originally called.

Section 2.08 Conduct of Meetings

 

The President of the Corporation will preside over Shareholder meetings or, if she or he is not present, by a Vice President, or, if none of those officers are present, by a chairperson elected at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, or if she or he is not present, any Assistant Secretary will act as secretary of the meeting. In the absence of the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary, the presiding officer may appoint a person to act as secretary of the meeting.

 

Section 2.09 Voting

 

At all Shareholder meetings, every Shareholder entitled to vote will have one vote for each share of stock standing in his or her name on the books of the Corporation on the date the Shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting are determined. The vote may be made either in person or by proxy. The proxy must be appointed by a written instrument signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's duly authorized attorney in fact, bearing a date not more than three months before the meeting, unless the instrument provides for a longer period, but in no event more than 11 months before the meeting. The proxy must be dated, but need not be sealed, witnessed, or acknowledged. All elections must be had and all questions must be decided by a majority of the votes cast at a duly organized meeting, except as otherwise provided by law, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws.

 

Other than an election of Directors, favorable action on a matter by a quorum is taken if it is approved by a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter. In the case of any matter that has been approved by vote of the Board of Directors taken at a meeting held before a Shareholder meeting, only a simple majority vote of the shares voted is necessary to approve the action, unless the Board of Directors requires a greater number of affirmative votes.

 

Directors may be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present. No ballot is required for this election unless requested by a Shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote in the election.

 

Section 2.10 Cumulative Voting

 

Cumulative voting will not apply to election of Directors. In all elections for Directors, each Shareholder will have the right to cast votes for as many candidates as there are Directors to be elected, and may cast as many votes as equal the number of voting shares owned by him or her in the Corporation for each candidate, either in person or by proxy.

Section 2.11 Voting Lists

 

At least 10 days before each Shareholder meeting, the Secretary will make a complete and alphabetized list of the Shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, with the address and the number of shares held by each. The Secretary will keep the list on file at the Registered Office of the Corporation for 10 days before the meeting. The list will be subject to inspection by any Shareholder at any time during usual business hours. The list will also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and will be subject to the inspection of any Shareholder during the meeting. The original or a duplicate share ledger or transfer book will be prima facie evidence as to the Shareholders entitled to examine the list or to vote at any Shareholder meeting.

 

Section 2.12 Voting of Shares by Certain Holders

 

Shares standing in the name of another domestic or foreign corporation may be voted by the officer, agent, or proxy as those corporate bylaws provide, or, if the corporate bylaws make no provision, as that corporation's board of directors may determine.

 

Shares standing in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his or her administrator or executor, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of a guardian, curator, or trustee may be voted by the fiduciary, either in person or by proxy. But no guardian, curator, or trustee may vote shares held by him or her as a fiduciary without a transfer of the shares into his or her name.

 

Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by the receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by the receiver without the transfer of the shares into his or her name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court that appointed the receiver.

 

A Shareholder whose shares are pledged will be entitled to vote the shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee. After the transfer, the pledgee will be entitled to vote the transferred shares.

 

Section 2.13 Records Inspection

 

A Shareholder entitled to inspect the records of the Corporation under any statutory or other legal right will have access to the records on demand only during the usual and customary hours of business and in a manner that will not unduly interfere with the Corporation's regular conduct of the business. A Shareholder may delegate this inspection right to a certified or public accountant or a licensed attorney at law on the condition that, at the Corporation' s request, an accurate copy of every report made by the accountant or attorney based on the inspection be provided to the Corporation when the report is completed. No Shareholder may use, permit to be used, or acquiesce to others' use of any information the Shareholder, accountant, or attorney obtains to the competitive detriment of the Corporation.

Any Director may be removed from office with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote at any special meeting of Shareholders regularly called for the purpose.

 

Section 3.04 Meeting Location

 

The Board of Directors may hold their meetings, have one or more offices, and keep the books of the Corporation within or outside the State of Nevada, at any place or places as they may from time to time determine by resolution or by written consent of all the Directors.

Members of the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or other similar electronic communications equipment if all of the persons participating in the meeting can hear and speak to each other at the same time.

Section 3.06 Regular Meetings

 

The Board of Directors may hold regular meetings without notice at those times and places as the Board determines by corporate resolution only if the Secretary has mailed notice of every Board resolution fixing or changing the time or place for holding the regular meetings to each Director at least three days before the first meeting held under the resolution.

Section 3.08 Quorum

 

A quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the Board of Directors comprises a majority of all the Directors. But if at any meeting less than a quorum is present, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time, and the act of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum will be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws.

 

Section 3.09 Meetings of Directors

 

If all of the Directors entitled to vote meet at any place, within or without the State, and consent to hold a meeting, that meeting will be valid without call or notice, and the Board may take any corporate action at the meeting.

 

Section 3.10 Action without Meeting by Written Consents

 

Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Directors may be taken without a meeting when written consents setting forth the action taken are signed by all of the Directors entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter. These consents will have the same force and effect as the unanimous vote of the Directors at a meeting duly held. The Secretary must file the consents with the minutes of the meetings of the Directors.

 

Section 3.11 Compensation of Directors

 

The Board of Directors will fix by resolution the compensation or salary paid for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board in which a Director actually participates and reimbursement of the expenses incurred in attending any regular or special meeting of the Board. The reimbursement and compensation will be payable whether or not a meeting is adjourned because of the absence of a quorum. No provision of these Bylaws precludes any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation for that service.
