GENERAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE REINCORPORATION
 
Why is the Company electing to reincorporate from California to Delaware?
 
The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) believes that since the Company is a “shell company,” the Company’s reincorporation in Delaware may make it a more attractive acquisition target for an operating company with plans to engage in a reverse merger.  .
 
Will the Company change its name as a result of the Reincorporation?
 
No.  The Company will retain the name “CMSF Corp.” but will be incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.
 
Will the Reincorporation change the business of the Company?
 
No. The Reincorporation will not change the current business of the Company. Following the Reincorporation, the Company will continue to be a shell company seeking an operating company with which to engage in a reverse merger.  The principal executive offices will remain located at 980 Enchanted Way, Suite 201 A/B, Simi Valley, California 93065.  Only the Company’s state of incorporation will change.
 
Will the Company have the same directors and executive officers that the Company currently has following the Reincorporation?
 
Yes.  The executive officers and members of the Board will not change as a result of the Reincorporation.
 
Who are the parties to the Reorganization?
 
CMSF Corp., a California Corporation
 
Prior to April 1, 2009, the Company had been engaged in the development, marketing and sale of data storage management software.  Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 26, 2009 among the Company, CC Merger Corp. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Stephen Crosson and Neil Murvin (collectively, the “Purchasers”), who are related parties, on March 31, 2009, (a) the Company transferred to the Subsidiary substantially all of its assets, (b) the Purchasers purchased all of the outstanding shares of the Subsidiary, and (c) the Subsidiary assumed all of the Company’s liabilities except any liability relating to indebtedness of the Company owed to investment funds advised by RENN Capital Group, Inc.  As a result of the foregoing, the Company is now a “shell company” with a plan to seek a reverse merger with an operating company.

CMSF Corp., a Delaware Corporation
 
CMSF Corp., a Delaware corporation (“CMSF Delaware”), is a recently formed and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  CMSF Delaware was formed for the sole purpose of effecting the Reincorporation. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, attached as Appendix A to this Information Statement (the “Merger Agreement”), the Company will merge with and into CMSF Delaware to effect the Reincorporation, with CMSF Delaware as the surviving entity.  CMSF Delaware presently has no operating history and has nominal assets, liabilities and capitalization.
 
The principal place of business of each of the Company and CMSF Delaware is located at 980 Enchanted Way, Suite 201 A/B, Simi Valley, California 93065. The telephone number for each is (805) 290-4977.

What are the principal terms of the Reincorporation?
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement:
 
     
· The Company will merge with and into CMSF Delaware, with CMSF Delaware as the surviving corporation;
 
     
· The separate corporate existence of the Company in California will cease upon the effectiveness of the merger;
 
     
· The business of the Company will continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Reincorporation;
 
     
· Each outstanding share of Common Stock will automatically be converted into one share of CMSF Delaware common stock;
 
     
· The existing holders of Common Stock will own all of the outstanding shares of CMSF Delaware common stock and no change in ownership will result from the
   Recorporation; and 
 
  
   
· The directors and executive officers of the Company will be the directors and executive officers of CMSF Delaware.
 
When is the Reincorporation expected to be completed?
 
The Company expects that the Reincorporation will close 20 to 30 days following the date this Information Statement is mailed to the Company’s shareholders.
 
Does the Reincorporation affect my ownership or percent of ownership in the Company?
 
No. Upon consummation of the Reincorporation, each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock will automatically be converted into one share of common stock of the surviving corporation in the merger, CMSF Delaware, the shares of CMSF Delaware common stock held by the Company will be cancelled, and no additional shares will be issued in the merger. Therefore, the number of shares and the percentage of ownership you hold in the Company will not be changed by virtue of the Reincorporation.
 
Will the common stock of CMSF be publicly traded?
 
Yes. The Common Stock is currently listed on the Pink Sheets for trading under the symbol “CMSF.”  After the Reincorporation, the Common Stock will no longer be listed on the Pink Sheets, but CMSF Delaware’s common stock will be listed on the Pink Sheets for trading under the Company’s current symbol “CMSF.”
 
 
 
REINCORPORATION UNDER THE LAWS OF DELAWARE

 
Background and Mechanics of Reincorporation

The Board believes that in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to change the Company’s state of incorporation from California to Delaware.  The Board and the requisite number of the Company’s shareholders have approved the Reincorporation, which will be effected pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix A. Under the Merger Agreement, you will become a shareholder of CMSF Delaware.  CMSF Delaware will continue to operate the Company’s business.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Common Stock will automatically be converted into one share of CMSF Delaware’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share. The name of the Delaware corporation, which will be the successor to the Company, will be CMSF Corp.  It is anticipated that the merger will become effective approximately 20 to 30 days following the mailing of this Information Statement by the filing of Certificates of Merger with the Secretaries of State of Delaware and California (the “Effective Date”).

IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY TO EXCHANGE THEIR EXISTING SHARE CERTIFICATES FOR STOCK CERTIFICATES OF CMSF DELAWARE.  HOWEVER, SHAREHOLDERS MAY EXCHANGE THEIR CERTIFICATES IF THEY SO CHOOSE BY SENDING THE CERTIFICATES TO THE COMPANY’S TRANSFER AGENT.  THE COMPANY’S TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE COMMON STOCK IS COMPUTERSHARE TRUST CO. NA, 350 INDIANA STREET, SUITE 750, GOLDEN, COLORADO 80401, ATTN: JENNIFER HARLA, TELEPHONE (303) 262-0600.

Approval of the Reincorporation required the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock on the Record Date.  Holders of 170,884,039 shares of Common Stock, which represents a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, approved the Reincorporation on the Record Date.

The discussion below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, the certificate of incorporation of CMSF Delaware and the bylaws of CMSF Delaware, copies of which are attached hereto as Appendices A, B and C, respectively.

Principal Reason for the Reincorporation

The Board believes that since the Company is a “shell company”, the Company’s reincorporation in Delaware may make it a more attractive target for an operating company with plans to engage in a reverse merger.

Possible Negative Considerations

Notwithstanding the belief of the Board as to the benefits to the shareholders of the Reincorporation, it should be noted that Delaware law has been criticized by some commentators and institutional shareholders on the grounds that it does not afford minority shareholders the same substantive rights and protections as are available in a number of other states.  The Reincorporation of the Company in Delaware may make it more difficult for minority shareholders to elect directors and influence the Company’s policies.  For a comparison of shareholders’ rights and the power of management under Delaware and California law, see “The Charter and Bylaws of the Company and CMSF Delaware” and “Comparison Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware” below.
 
Anti-Takeover Implications
 
  Delaware, like many other states, permits a domestic corporation to adopt various measures designed to reduce a corporation’s vulnerability to unsolicited takeover attempts through provisions in the corporate charter or bylaws or otherwise, and provides default legal provisions that apply to certain publicly held corporations that have not affirmatively opted out, which further limits such vulnerability.  It should be noted, however, the Reincorporation was not proposed to prevent a change in control and the Board is not aware of any present attempt to acquire control of the Company, or to obtain representation on the Board.
 
  Nevertheless, the Reincorporation may have certain anti-takeover effects by virtue of CMSF Delaware being subject to Delaware law instead of California law. For example, in the event that CMSF Delaware’s securities are listed on a national securities exchange or its securities are held of record by at least 2,000 stockholders, CMSF Delaware will be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which restricts certain “business combinations” with “interested stockholders” (generally refers to an owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation) for three years following the date that a person becomes an interested stockholder, unless: (a) before such stockholder becomes an “interested stockholder,” the board of directors approves the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (b) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the outstanding stock of the corporation at the time of the transaction (excluding stock owned by certain persons); or (c) at the time or after the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the board of directors and at least 66 2/3% of the disinterested outstanding voting stock of the corporation approved the transaction.  
 
   Delaware law allows companies to opt out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law if the company’s original certificate of incorporation contains a provision expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203.  A company may also opt of Section 203 through the shareholders’ adoption of an amendment to the company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203. The certificate of incorporation of CMSF Delaware, attached hereto as Exhibit A, does not provide for CMSF Delaware to opt out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Although CMSF Delaware will not be subject to Section 203 immediately following the Reincorporation, it will become subject to such provisions if its securities are listed on a national securities exchange or its securities are held of record by at least 2,000 stockholders.


                  Our Board believes that unsolicited takeover attempts may be unfair or disadvantageous to CMSF Delaware and its shareholders because a non-negotiated takeover bid may: (a) be timed to take advantage of temporarily depressed stock prices; (b) be designed to foreclose or minimize the possibility of more favorable competing bids; or (c) involve the acquisition of only a controlling interest in our Company’s stock or a two-tiered bid, without affording all shareholders the opportunity to receive the same economic benefits.
 
By contrast, in a transaction in which an acquirer must negotiate with the Board of Directors of CMSF Delaware, our Board would evaluate CMSF Delaware’s assets and business prospects to force the bidder to offer consideration equal to the true value of our Company, or to withdraw the bid.
 
 
No Change in the Directors, Business, Management or Location of Principal Facilities of the Company
 
The Reincorporation will change the legal domicile of our Company but will not result in any change in the business, management, fiscal year, assets or liabilities, or location of the principal facilities of the Company.  The directors of the Company immediately prior to the Reincorporation will continue as the directors of CMSF Delaware, and the officers who are officers of the Company immediately prior to the Reincorporation will become the officers of CMSF Delaware on the Effective Date of the merger.  The registration statements of the Company on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) immediately prior to the Reincorporation will be assumed by CMSF Delaware.
 
The Charter and Bylaws of the Company and CMSF Delaware
 
The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of CMSF Delaware will be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation after the merger.  With certain exceptions as set forth below, the provisions of CMSF Delaware’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws are similar to the Company’s restated articles of incorporation and bylaws  The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of CMSF Delaware are attached hereto as Appendices B and C, respectively.  The following summary of the applicable provisions of the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of CMSF Delaware does not purport to be complete, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to such documents.

Authorized Stock
 
The restated articles of incorporation of the Company authorize 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value. The certificate of incorporation of CMSF Delaware authorizes 100,001,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.000001 per share.  The restated articles of incorporation of the Company and the certificate of incorporation of CMSF Delaware both authorize the board of directors to issue preferred stock with such rights, designations, preferences, powers or other attributes as the board may deem in the corporation’s best interest.
 
The Company has adopted the general strategy of seeking an operating company with plans to engage in a reverse merger.  Such a reverse merger would generally require the Company to issue a significant amount of shares of its capital stock to the buyer.  However, the Company currently has no specific plans, proposal or arrangements to issue any of the newly authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock of CMSF Delaware.  To the extent the additional authorized shares are issued in the future, they will decrease the existing stockholders' percentage equity ownership and, depending upon the price at which they are issued as compared to the price paid by existing stockholders for their shares, could be dilutive to our existing stockholders.  

The increase in our authorized shares of common stock in connection with the Reincorporation could also have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of CMSF Delaware difficult.  For example, additional shares could be issued by CMSF Delaware so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of CMSF Delaware without the approval of CMSF Delaware’s Board of Directors.  Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with CMSF Delaware’s management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove CMSF Delaware’s management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal.  Furthermore, it is possible that CMSF Delaware’s management might use the additional authorized shares of capital stock to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction, favored by a majority of the independent stockholders, which would provide an above-market premium.

Monetary Liability of Directors
 
The restated articles of incorporation of the Company and the certificate of incorporation of CMSF Delaware both provide for the elimination or limitation of personal monetary liability of directors to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of each corporation’s respective state of incorporation.  Delaware law permits liability to be limited to a greater extent than does California law.  See “Comparison Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware—Limitation of Liability” below.
 
Indemnification
 
California.  The indemnification provisions of the Company’s restated articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that the Company has the power to indemnify any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the Company, and that the Company is authorized to provide indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by California law, subject to certain limitations with respect to actions for breach of duty to the Company and its shareholders.  The Company must indemnify its officers and directors in such circumstances. The bylaws of the Company do not prohibit the Company from advancing expenses incurred in defending any proceeding before the final disposition of such proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that the agent is not entitled to indemnification, and the Company may make some advances upon the same undertaking to other agents.
 
Delaware.  CMSF Delaware’s bylaws provide that CMSF Delaware shall indemnify directors and officers in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law for acts as directors or officers of CMSF Delaware, or persons serving as a director, officer or trustee of another enterprise at the request of CMSF Delaware.  They also provide that CMSF Delaware shall advance the expenses of directors and officers of CMSF Delaware or persons serving as directors, officers or trustees of another entity at the request of the board of directors before the final disposition of any action, suit, or proceeding, provided that the indemnitee undertakes to repay the amount advanced if a court ultimately determines that the director or officer (or the director, officer or trustee of such other entity) is not entitled to indemnification.  See “Comparison Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware – Indemnification of Officers and Directors” below.
 
Comparison Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware
 
The principal differences between the General Corporation Law of California and the Delaware General Corporation Law are discussed below.
 
Limitation of Liability
 
California.  California law does not permit the elimination of monetary liability for breaches of a director’s duties to the corporation or its shareholders where such liability is based on: (a) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law; (b) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders, or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director; (c) any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit; (d) acts or omissions that show reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director’s duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders; (e) acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders; (f) contracts or transactions between the corporation and another corporation for which the director is a director or in which the director has a financial interest; or (g) liability for improper distributions, loans or guarantees.
 
Delaware.  In contrast, Delaware law permits limitation of liability where California law would forbid it. Under Delaware law, a corporation may not eliminate or limit a director’s monetary liability for: (a) breaches of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (b) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (c) the unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or (d) transactions from which the director received an improper personal benefit.
 
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
 
Expenses – California.  California law generally permits indemnification of expenses incurred in derivative or third-party actions.  However, with respect to derivative actions: (a) no indemnification may be made when a person is adjudged liable to the corporation in the performance of that person’s duty to the corporation and its shareholders, unless a court determines such person is entitled to indemnity for expenses, and then such indemnification may be made only to the extent that such court shall determine; and (b) no indemnification may be made without court approval in respect of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a pending action, or expenses incurred in defending a pending action that is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval.  Indemnification is permitted by California law only for acts taken in good faith, and which the director or officer believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders, as determined by a majority vote of a disinterested quorum of the directors, independent legal counsel (if a quorum of independent directors is not obtainable), a majority vote of a quorum of the shareholders (excluding shares owned by the indemnified party), or the court handling the action.  California law requires indemnification of expenses when the director or officer has successfully defended an action on the merits.

Expenses – Delaware.  Delaware law generally permits indemnification of expenses incurred in the defense or settlement of derivative or third-party actions, provided that a determination is made that the person seeking indemnification acted in good faith and in a manner the director or officer reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. In contrast, as noted above, California law requires belief that the act is in the corporation’s interests, not merely neutral to its interests.  Delaware law further permits indemnification for judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (other than in a derivative action) if the person is not successful in the defense of such action, provided there is a determination that the person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation.  The determinations referred to above (unless ordered by a court) must be made by: (a) a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum; (b) a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum; (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) the shareholders.  Without court approval, however, no indemnification may be made in respect of any derivative action in which such person is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties to the corporation.  Delaware law requires indemnification of expenses when the individual being indemnified has successfully defended any action, claim, issue, or matter therein, whether on the merits or otherwise.  In contrast, California law requires indemnification only when the individual has successfully defended the action on the merits.  Delaware law contains no prohibition similar to California law’s ban on indemnification when directors or officers acted, or failed to act, with “reckless disregard.”
 
Expenses – Advance.  Both California and Delaware permit a corporation to pay in advance expenses incurred by an officer, director, employee or agent in defending an action, provided such person undertakes to repay the advanced amounts if he or she is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification.  The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of CMSF Delaware provide that CMSF Delaware shall indemnify directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, and that CSMF Delaware shall pay all expenses incurred in defending an action in advance of the final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such amounts if it is determined by a court that such person was not entitled to indemnification.
 
Non-Exclusivity.  Delaware law provides that the statutory indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights under the certificate of incorporation, any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.  California law similarly permits indemnification in excess of the statutory minimum.  The bylaws of both the Company and CMSF Delaware provide that the rights to indemnification conferred thereby are not exclusive of any other rights that the indemnitee may have or acquire under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise.
 
Insurance.  Both California and Delaware law permit corporations to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation (or person who is serving in such capacity with another enterprise at the request of the corporation), whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify such person against the liability covered by the insurance policy.
 
Cumulative Voting
 
California.  California law permits any shareholder to cumulate his or her votes in the election of directors upon proper notice of the intention to do so.  California law provides that if any shareholder has given notice of his or her intention to cumulate votes for the election of directors, all other shareholders of the corporation are also entitled to cumulate their votes at such election.
 
Delaware.  Under Delaware law, cumulative voting is not mandatory, and cumulative voting rights must be specifically provided for in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation if shareholders are to be entitled to cumulative voting rights.  The certificate of incorporation of CMSF Delaware does not provide for cumulative voting.  In the absence of cumulative voting, and in the absence of any other specification in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the shareholders meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.  The Board believes that it is the general practice of companies incorporated in Delaware not to provide for cumulative voting because cumulative voting has the effect of giving disproportionate power to minority shareholders over and at the expense of the interests of the majority of shareholders.  Therefore, the absence of cumulative voting may make CMSF Delaware a more attractive acquisition target for an operating company.
 
Shareholder Voting
 
Amendment of Charter.  Under California and Delaware law, the provisions of a corporation’s charter document may be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on such an amendment.  California law permits the board of directors to amend the corporation’s articles of incorporation after shares have been issued without a vote of shareholders in certain circumstances, including to adopt an amendment effecting a stock split where a corporation has only one class of shares. Delaware law contains no comparable provision.

Merger of Subsidiary – Delaware.  Delaware law does not require the vote of the stockholders of a Delaware parent corporation whose subsidiary is involved in a merger with another corporation unless the parent corporation itself is a “constituent corporation” in the merger.

Merger of Subsidiary – California.  Under California law, the vote of the shareholders of a California parent corporation is required in certain circumstances when the California corporation’s subsidiary merges with another corporation.  Those circumstances include the situation in which shares of the California parent corporation are issued to the shareholders of the acquired company and the shareholders of the California parent corporation immediately prior to the merger own less than five-sixths of the California parent corporation’s shares immediately following the merger.  If the Company remained incorporated under the laws of the State of California, this provision of California law could potentially have a significant negative impact on an operating company’s determination regarding whether to engage in a reverse merger with the Company.

Merger.  Both California and Delaware law generally require that the holders of a majority of the shares of the constituent corporations in a statutory merger approve the merger. However, Delaware law does not require a vote of stockholders of the surviving corporation in a merger (unless the corporation provides otherwise in its certificate of incorporation) if (i) the merger agreement does not amend the corporation’s existing certificate of incorporation; (ii) each share of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately before the effective date of the merger is an identical outstanding share after the merger; and (iii) either no shares of common stock of the surviving corporation and no shares, securities, or obligations convertible into such stock are to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger, or the authorized unissued shares or shares of common stock of the surviving corporation to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger plus those initially issuable upon conversion of any other shares, securities, or obligations to be issued or delivered under such plan do not exceed 20% of the shares of common stock of such corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger.

Merger – California.  California law contains a similar exception to its voting requirements for reorganizations where shareholders or the corporation itself, or both, immediately prior to the reorganization will own immediately after the reorganization equity securities constituting more than five-sixths of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring corporation or its parent entity.
 
Merger – California.  California law further provides that, in the case of a cash and certain other mergers of a California corporation with another corporation, where the latter corporation or certain of its affiliates own shares having more than 50% but less than 90% of the voting power of that first corporation, the merger must be approved by all of the first corporation’s shareholders.  This provision of California law may have the effect of making a “cash-out” merger by a majority shareholder more difficult to accomplish.
 
Size of the Board of Directors
 
California.  Under California law, changes in the number of directors or, if a range in the number of directors is set forth in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, that range, must in general be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares.  The board of directors, however, may fix the exact number of directors within a stated range if authorized in the articles of incorporation or bylaws.

Delaware.  Delaware law allows the number of directors to be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the corporation’s bylaws, unless the number is fixed in the certificate of incorporation (in which case an amendment to the certificate of incorporation would be required to change the number of directors).
 
CMSF Delaware.  The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of CMSF Delaware provide that the number of directors are to be determined from time to time by the board of directors, by a resolution adopted by a majority of the directors then in office.  The ability of the board of directors under Delaware law and under CMSF Delaware’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws to alter the size of the board of directors without shareholder approval would enable CMSF Delaware to respond quickly to a potential opportunity to attract the services of a qualified director or to eliminate a vacancy for which a suitable candidate is not available.
 
Power to Call Special Shareholders’ Meetings
 
General – California and Delaware.  Under California law, a special meeting of shareholders may be called by: (a) the board of directors, (b) the chairman of the board of directors, (c) the president of the company, (d) the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at such meeting, or (e) such additional persons as are authorized by the articles of incorporation or the bylaws.  In contrast, Delaware law provides that special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the board of directors or such other person or persons as may be authorized in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws.
 
CMSF Delaware.  The bylaws of CMSF Delaware provide that special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time only by: (a) holders of shares entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at that meeting, (b) the board of directors, (c) the chairman of the board of directors, (d) the chief executive officer or, in the absence of a chief executive officer, the president.  Thus, shareholders’ ability to call special meetings will not be affected by the Reincorporation.

Removal of Directors
 
California.  Under California law, any or all directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote; however, no individual director may be removed (unless the entire board is removed) if the number of votes cast against such removal, or not consenting in writing to removal, would be sufficient to elect the director under cumulative voting.  Further, if the articles of a corporation entitle shareholders of a class or series, voting as a class or series, to elect one or more directors, any director so elected may be removed only by the applicable vote of the shareholders of that class or series.

Delaware.  Under Delaware law, any director of a corporation that does not have a classified board may be removed from office by the vote of shareholders representing at least a majority of the voting power of the corporation or the class or series of stock entitled to elect such director, unless the certificate of incorporation provides for cumulative voting.  If a Delaware corporation has a classified board of directors, then directors may be removed only for cause, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.  Further, if the certificate of incorporation provides for cumulative voting, a director may not be removed without cause if the votes cast against such director’s removal would be sufficient to elect such director if cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board of directors or, if there are classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which such director is part.
 
CMSF Delaware.  The certificate of incorporation of CMSF Delaware currently does not provide for cumulative voting or a classified board of directors.  Therefore, directors may be removed, with or without cause, by shareholders holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.
 
Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors
 
California.  Under California law, unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise, any vacancy on the board of directors not created by removal of a director may be filled by the board of directors.  If the number of directors remaining is less than a quorum, such vacancy may be filled by the unanimous written consent of the directors then in office, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors at a meeting held pursuant to notice or waivers of notice, or by a sole remaining director.  Unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws otherwise provide, a vacancy created by removal of a director may be filled only by approval of the shareholders.  The Company’s current bylaws permit a majority of the remaining directors to fill any vacancies not created by removal of a director through shareholder action or court order and allow shareholders to fill any vacancy on the board of directors not filled by the directors.
 
Delaware.  Under Delaware law, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, any vacancy on the board of directors, including one created by removal of a director or an increase in the number of authorized directors, may be filled by the majority of the remaining directors, even if such number constitutes less than a quorum.  The bylaws of CMSF Delaware provide, in accordance with Delaware law, that any vacancy in the board of directors may be filled by the majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum.  Delaware law would thus enable the board of directors of CMSF Delaware to respond quickly to opportunities to attract the services of qualified directors.
 
Dividends and Repurchases of Shares
 
California.  Under California law, a corporation may not make any distributions (including dividends, whether in cash or other property, and repurchases of its shares) unless, immediately prior to the proposed distribution, the corporation’s retained earnings equal or exceed the amount of the proposed distribution or, immediately after giving effect to such distribution, the corporation’s assets (exclusive of goodwill, capitalized research and development expenses, and deferred charges) would be at least equal to 125% of its liabilities (not including deferred taxes, deferred income, and other deferred credits) and the corporation’s current assets would be at least equal to its current liabilities (or 125% of its current liabilities if the average pre-tax and pre-interest expense earnings for the preceding two fiscal years were less than the average interest expense for such years).  California also prohibits any distribution if the corporation or subsidiary making the distribution is or would be likely to be unable to meet its liabilities.
 
Delaware.  Delaware law permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of surplus (the excess of a corporation’s net assets over the aggregate amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding equity securities of the corporation) or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared or for the preceding fiscal year as long as the amount of capital of the corporation following the declaration and payment of the dividend is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding shares of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets.  In addition, Delaware law generally permits a corporation to redeem or repurchase its shares only if (a) the capital of the corporation is not impaired and (b) such redemption or repurchase would not cause an impairment.
 
Inspection of Shareholder List, Books and Records
 
California.  California law allows any shareholder to inspect the shareholder list, the accounting books and records, and the minutes of board and shareholder proceedings for a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a shareholder.  In addition, California law provides for an absolute right to inspect and copy the corporation’s shareholder list by persons who hold an aggregate of 5% or more of a corporation’s voting shares or who hold 1% or more of such shares and have filed a Schedule 14A with the SEC.
 
Delaware.  Like California law, Delaware law permits any shareholder of record to inspect a list of shareholders and the corporation’s other books and records for any proper purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a shareholder, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose of such inspection and completion of certain other procedures.  Delaware law, however, contains no provision comparable to the absolute right of inspection provided by California law to certain shareholders, as described above.
 
Inspection Rights of Foreign Corporations – California.  Lack of access to shareholder records may impair a shareholder’s ability to coordinate opposition to management proposals, including proposals with respect to a change in control of the Company.  California law, however, provides that California provisions concerning the inspection of shareholder lists apply not only to California corporations but also to corporations organized under the laws of other states that have their principal executive offices in California or customarily hold meetings of the board of directors in California, and that the California provisions concerning accounting books and records and the minutes of board and shareholder proceedings apply to any such foreign corporation that has its principal executive offices in California.  Therefore, for so long as CMSF Delaware continues to have its principal executive offices in California and to hold board of directors meetings in California, and to the extent such provisions applicable to foreign corporations are enforceable, CMSF Delaware will need to comply with California law concerning shareholder inspections.
 
Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights
 
General.  Under both California and Delaware law, a shareholder of a corporation participating in certain major corporate transactions may, under varying circumstances, be entitled to appraisal or dissenters’ rights pursuant to which such shareholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair market value (in California) or the fair value (in Delaware) of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration he or she would otherwise receive in the transaction.
 
California.  Under California law, appraisal rights are generally not available to shareholders of a corporation whose shares are listed on a national securities exchange, unless holders of at least 5% of the class of outstanding shares claim the right, or the corporation or any law restricts the transfer of such shares. Appraisal rights are also unavailable to shareholders of a California corporation if the shareholders, the corporation, or both, as constituted immediately prior to the transaction, will own immediately after the transaction equity securities consisting of more than 83.33% of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring corporation or its parent entity.  (Accordingly, appraisal rights are not available with respect to the Reincorporation.)  Subject to the foregoing exception for more than 83.33% continuing ownership, California generally affords appraisal rights in sales of substantially all of a corporation’s assets in a non-cash transaction. Under California law, fair market value is measured as of the day before the first announcement of the terms of a merger, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in stock value resulting from the proposed transaction.
 
Delaware.  Under Delaware law, appraisal rights are generally not available to shareholders: (a) with respect to a merger or consolidation by a corporation with shares either listed on a national securities exchange (such as the New York Stock Exchange) or held of record by more than 2,000 holders, if such shareholders receive only shares of the surviving corporation or shares that are either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares; or (b) of a corporation surviving a merger if no vote of the shareholders of the surviving corporation is required to approve the merger under Delaware law.  Delaware law also does not provide appraisal rights in connection with the sale of assets.  Delaware law provides that fair value is determined exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation.
 
Dissolution
 
California.  Under California law, shareholders holding 50% or more of the total voting power may authorize a corporation’s dissolution, with or without the approval of the corporation’s board of directors, and this right may not be modified or eliminated by the articles of incorporation.  Shareholders who have not voted in favor of dissolution may prevent the dissolution by purchasing for cash at fair market value the shares of the parties attempting to initiate the dissolution.

Delaware.  Under Delaware law, dissolution must be approved by the board of directors and shareholders holding a majority of the voting power or, if not approved by the board of directors, the dissolution must be unanimously approved by the shareholders entitled to vote.  Thus, dissolution of the Company may be more difficult after the Reincorporation.

Application of the General Corporation Law of California to Delaware Corporations
 
Under Section 2115 of the General Corporation Law of California, foreign corporations (i.e., corporations not organized under California law) are placed in a special category if they have characteristics of ownership and operation indicating that they have certain significant business contacts with California and more than one half of their voting securities are held of record by persons having addresses in California.  So long as a Delaware or other foreign corporation is in this category, and it does not qualify for one of the statutory exemptions, it is subject to a number of key provisions of the California General Corporation Law applicable to corporations incorporated in California.  Among the more important provisions are those relating to the election and removal of directors, cumulative voting, prohibition of classified boards of directors in privately held corporations unless certain requirements are met, standards of liability and indemnification of directors, distributions, dividends and repurchases of shares, shareholder meetings, approval of certain corporate transactions, dissenters’ and appraisal rights, and inspection of corporate records.  See “Comparison Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware” above.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
The following is a discussion of the material federal income tax consequences to holders of Common Stock who receive CMSF Delaware common stock in exchange for their shares of Common Stock as a result of the Reincorporation.  This discussion is based on existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), existing Treasury regulations and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change.  Any such change, which may or may not be retroactive, could alter the tax consequences as described herein.
 
This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to address all the federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to particular shareholders of the Company in light of their particular circumstances or who are subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws.  Factors that could alter the tax consequences of the Reincorporation to you include: if you are a dealer in securities, a financial institution, mutual fund, regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, insurance company, or tax-exempt entity; if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax; if you hold your Common Stock as part of an integrated investment such as a hedge or as part of a hedging, straddle or other risk reduction strategy; if you are a non-U.S. person; if you do not hold your shares of CMSF Delaware common stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the IRC (generally, property held for investment); or if you acquired your shares of the Common Stock in connection with stock option plans or in other compensatory transactions.  In addition, no state, local, or foreign tax consequences are addressed herein.  IN VIEW OF THE VARYING NATURE OF SUCH TAX CONSEQUENCES, SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE REINCORPORATION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS.
 
The Company has not requested a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel with respect to the federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation under the IRC.  The Company believes, however, that: (a) the Reincorporation will constitute a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the IRC; (b) no gain or loss will be recognized by holders of Common Stock upon receipt of common stock of CMSF Delaware pursuant to the Reincorporation; (c) the aggregate tax basis of the common stock of CMSF Delaware received by each shareholder will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Common Stock held by such shareholder as a capital asset at the time of the Reincorporation; and (d) the holding period of the common stock of CMSF Delaware received by each shareholder of the Company will include the period for which such shareholder held the Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor.
 
Accounting Consequences

We believe that there will be no material accounting consequences for us resulting from the Reincorporation.

Regulatory Approval

To our knowledge, the only required regulatory or governmental approval or filings necessary in connection with the consummation of the Reincorporation would be (i) the filings of the Certificates of Merger with the Secretaries of State of the States of California and Delaware and (ii) the necessary securities filings with the SEC and the Secretaries of State of the States of California and Texas.

No Dissenters’ Rights

The General Corporation Law of California does not grant our shareholders dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal upon the consummation of the Reincorporation.

CMSF CORP., a Delaware corporation

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors and shareholders of CMSF-California have approved the Merger.

AGREEMENT OF MERGER

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE II
 
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
 
2.1 PLACE OF MEETINGS
 
Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place, within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the Board of Directors.  In the absence of any such designation, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the principal office of the corporation.
 
2.2 ANNUAL MEETING
 
The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated by the Board of Directors.  However, if such day falls on a legal holiday, then the meeting shall be held at the same time and place on the next succeeding business day.  At the meeting, directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be transacted.
 
2.3 SPECIAL MEETING
 
A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president (in the absence of a chief executive officer) or by one or more stockholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than ten percent of the votes at that meeting.
 
If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the Board of Directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or other facsimile transmission or by electronic transmission (including by e-mail or over the World Wide Web in any electronic format), to the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president (in the absence of a chief executive officer), or the secretary of the corporation.  No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in such notice.  The officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of this Article II, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request.  Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 2.3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.
 
2.4 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS
 
All notices of meetings with stockholders shall be in writing and shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 2.5 of these Bylaws not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting.  The notice shall specify the place, date, and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.
 
2.5 MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE
 
Written notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation.  An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
 
2.6 QUORUM
 
The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation.  If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairman of the meeting or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented.  At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.
 
2.7 ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE
 
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these Bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.  If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
 
2.8 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS
 
The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of business.
 
2.9 VOTING
 
The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 of these Bylaws, subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock and to voting trusts and other voting agreements).
 
Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder and stockholders shall not be entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of directors or with respect to any matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders.
 
2.10 WAIVER OF NOTICE
 
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL or of the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice.  Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws.
 
 
 
 
 
2.11 STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING
 
Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required by this chapter to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of a corporation, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
 
Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.  If the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any section of the DGCL if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting thereof, then the certificate filed under such section shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any vote of stockholders, that written notice and written consent have been given as provided in Section 228 of the DGCL.
 
2.12 RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDER NOTICE; VOTING; GIVING CONSENTS
 
In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.
 
If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date:
 
   (a)  The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next
          processing
 
  A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
 
2.13 PROXIES
 
Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by a written proxy, signed by the stockholder and filed with the secretary of the corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.  A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder’s attorney-in-fact.  The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212(e) of the DGCL.
 
2.14 LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE
 
The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of a corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.  Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.  The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.
 
ARTICLE III
 
DIRECTORS
 
3.1 POWERS
 
Subject to the provisions of the DGCL and any limitations in the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.
 
3.2 NUMBER OF DIRECTORS
 
The Board of Directors shall consist of one or more members, the number thereof to be determined from time to time pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors.  Directors need not be stockholders.  No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office expires.
 
3.3 ELECTION, QUALIFICATION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS
 
Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these Bylaws, directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to hold office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.  Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, wherein other qualifications for directors may be prescribed.  Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.
 
Elections of directors need not be by written ballot.
 
3.4 RESIGNATION AND VACANCIES
 
Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the attention of the Secretary of the corporation.  When one or more directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date, unless otherwise prohibited by contract, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in this section in the filling of other vacancies.
 
Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws:
 
              (a) Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
 
              (b) Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected.
          
If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the corporation should have no directors in office, then any officer or any stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, or may apply to the Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election as provided in Section 211 of the DGCL.
 
If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole Board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), then the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten (10) percent of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the DGCL as far as applicable.

3.8 QUORUM
 
At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the authorized number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation.  If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

3.9 WAIVER OF NOTICE
 
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL or of the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice.  Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the directors, or members of a committee of directors, need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws.

The corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by a director or officer of the corporation entitled to indemnification hereunder in defending any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Section 6.1 in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer of the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should ultimately be determined that the director of officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 6.1 or otherwise.
 
The rights conferred on any person by this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of the stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
 
Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.  Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.  The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

8.3 STOCK CERTIFICATES; PARTLY PAID SHARES
 
The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors of the corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares.  Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation.  Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the Board of Directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates and upon request every holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the chairman or vice-chairman of the Board of Directors, or the president or vice-president, and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary of such corporation representing the number of shares registered in certificate form.  Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile.  In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
 
The corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor.  Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, upon the books and records of the corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated.  Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.
 
8.5 LOST CERTIFICATES

The directors of the corporation may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, and meeting contingencies.

Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction in its books.
 
8.11 STOCK TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
 
The corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of the corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL.
 
8.12 REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS
 
The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner, shall be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments the person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.
 
ARTICLE IX
 
AMENDMENTS
 
The Bylaws of the corporation may be adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however, that the corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, confer the power to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws upon the directors.  The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws.
