ARTICLES
OF INCORPORATION
OF
XXXXXXXX
ACQUISITION COMPANY, INC.
ARTICLE
II
Business
The
purpose and nature of the business, objectives, or purposes to be transacted,
promoted, or carried on by the Company shall be as follows:
1. To
engage in any lawful activity.
2. To
do all and everything necessary, suitable, and proper to accomplish the
foregoing, and to engage in any and every activity and business enterprise which
the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) may, from time to
time, deem reasonably necessary, providing the same shall not be inconsistent
with the NRS.
ARTICLE
III
Capital
Stock
1. Authorized
Stock. The total number of shares of stock which the Company
shall have authority to issue is 1,000, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”). The Common Stock shall be subject to the express terms of
any preferred stock and any series thereof which may hereafter be authorized and
issued by the Company (the “Preferred Stock”). Each share of the
Common Stock shall be equal to each other share of the Common
Stock. The holders of shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to
one vote for each such share upon all questions presented to the
stockholders.
2. Voting
Rights. Except as may be provided in these Articles of
Incorporation or in a Preferred Stock Designation with respect to the Preferred
Stock, or as may be required by applicable law, the Common Stock shall have the
exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other
purposes, and holders of shares of the Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to
receive notice of any meeting of stockholders at which they are not entitled to
vote. At each election for directors, every stockholder entitled to
vote at such election shall have the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the
number of shares owned by him for as many persons as there are directors to be
elected and for whose election he has a right to vote. It is
expressly prohibited for any stockholder to cumulate his votes in any election
of directors.
3. Denial of Preemptive
Rights. No stockholder of the Company shall, by reason of his
holding shares of any class, have any preemptive or preferential right to
purchase or subscribe to any shares of any class of the Company, now or
hereafter to be authorized, or any notes, debentures, bonds, or other securities
convertible into or carrying options or warrants to purchase shares of any
class, now or hereafter to be authorized, whether or not the issuance of any
such shares, or such notes, debentures, bonds or other securities would
adversely affect dividend or voting rights of such stockholder, other than such
rights, if any, as the Board of Directors in its discretion may fix; and the
Board of Directors may issue shares of any class of the Company, or any notes,
debentures, bonds, or other securities convertible into or carrying options or
warrants to purchase shares of any class, without offering any such shares of
any class, either in whole or in part, to the existing stockholders of any
class.
4. Record
Date. The Board of Directors may prescribe a period not
exceeding 60 days before any meeting of the stockholders during which no
transfer of stock on the books of the Company may be made, or may fix, in
advance, a record date not more than 60 or less than 10 days before the date of
any such meeting as the date as of which stockholders entitled to notice of and
to vote at such meetings must be determined. Only stockholders of
record on that date are entitled to notice or to vote at such a
meeting. If a record date is not fixed, the record date is at the
close of business on the day before the day on which notice is given or, if
notice is waived, at the close of business on the day before the meeting is
held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of
or to vote at a meeting of stockholders applies to an adjournment of the meeting
unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned
meeting. The Board of Directors must fix a new record date if the
meeting is adjourned to a date more than 60 days later than the date set for the
original meeting.

IV
Election
of Directors
1. Number. The
business and affairs of the Company shall be conducted and managed by, or under
the direction of, the Board of Directors. The total number of
directors constituting the entire Board of Directors shall be fixed and may be
altered from time to time by or pursuant to a resolution passed by the
stockholders of the Company or the Board of Directors, but shall not be less
than one.
2. Vacancies. Except
as otherwise provided for herein, newly created directorships resulting from any
increase in the authorized number of directors, and any vacancies on the Board
of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or
other cause, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board
of Directors. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding
sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the newly
created directorship or for the directorship in which the vacancy occurred, and
until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified,
subject to his earlier death, disqualification, resignation or
removal. Subject to the provisions of these Articles of
Incorporation, no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
3. Removal of
Directors. Except as otherwise provided in any Preferred Stock
Designation, any director may be removed from office only by the affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority or more of the combined voting power of the
then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote at a
meeting of stockholders called for that purpose, voting together as a single
class.
ARTICLE
V
Meetings
of Stockholders
Meetings
of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meetings”) may be held within
or without the State of Nevada, as the Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) may
provide. Special Stockholder Meetings may be called only by (a) the
Chairman of the Board, (b) the Chief Executive Officer, (c) the President, (d)
the Secretary, (e) the Treasurer, (f) the holders of at least 10 percent of all
of the shares entitled to vote at the proposed special meeting, or (g) the Board
of Directors pursuant to a duly adopted resolution. Special
Stockholder Meetings may not be called by any other person or persons or in any
other manner. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot

ARTICLE
VI
Limitation
of Liability
Except as
otherwise provided in the NRS, a director or officer of the Company shall not be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for damages as a result of
any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer; provided,
however, that this Article shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a
director or officer (a) if it is proven that his act or failure to act
constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties and such breach involved
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (b) under
Section 78.300 of the NRS.
If the
NRS is amended after the date of filing of these Articles of Incorporation to
authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating the personal
liability of a director, then the liability of the directors of the Company
shall be limited or eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, as so
amended, or a similar successor provision. Any repeal or modification
of this Article by the stockholders of the Company or otherwise shall not
adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company existing
at the time of such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE
VII
Indemnification
1. Discretionary
Indemnification. (a) The Company may indemnify any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (i) is not
liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the NRS; or (ii) acted 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 criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable
pursuant to Section 78.138 of the NRS or 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, or that, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
(b) The
Company may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’
fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of the action or suit if he: (i) is not liable pursuant to Section
78.138 of the NRS; or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or
matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent
jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the
Company or for amounts paid in settlement to the Company, unless and only to the
extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of
competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as the courts deem proper.
2. Determination of
Discretionary Indemnification. Any discretionary
indemnification pursuant to Section 1 of this Article VII, unless ordered by a
court or advanced pursuant to this Section 2, may be made by the Company only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances. The determination must be made:
(a) By
the stockholders; or
(b) By
the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; or
(c) If
a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the
action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion; or
(d) If
a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or
proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion.
The
expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the Company as they are incurred in
advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount
if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is
not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
- 3
-
3. Mandatory
Indemnification. To the extent that a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 of this
Article VII, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Company
shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
4. Non-Exclusivity. The
indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court
pursuant to this Article VII:
(a) Does
not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in
his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office,
except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 1 of
this Article VII, or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to Section 2
of this Article VII may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer
if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material
to the cause of action.
(b) Continues
for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and
inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any such
person.
5. Insurance. The
Company may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements
on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him and liability
and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or
agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company has the
authority to indemnify him against such liability expenses.

may regard the person in whose name any shares are registered in the stock
transfer records of the Company at any particular time (including, without
limitation, as of a record date fixed pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this
Paragraph 2.5) as the owner of such shares at that time for purposes of voting,
receiving distributions thereon or notices in respect thereof, transferring such
shares, exercising rights of dissent with respect to such shares, entering into
agreements with respect to such shares, or giving proxies with respect to such
shares; and neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors, employees or
agents shall be liable for regarding that person as the owner of such shares at
that time for those purposes, regardless of whether that person possesses a
certificate for such shares.
1
(b) Record
Date. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof,
or entitled to receive a distribution by the Company (other than a distribution
involving a purchase or redemption by the Company of any of its own shares) or a
share dividend, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any
other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the
record date for any such determination of stockholders, such date in any case to
be not more than 60 days and, in the case of a meeting of stockholders, not less
than 10 days, prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such
determination of stockholders is to be taken. The Board of Directors
shall not close the books of the Company against transfers of shares during the
whole or any part of such period.
If the
Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the
stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of
or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next
preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Paragraph
7.3 of these Bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next
preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
2.6. Quorum of Stockholders;
Adjournment. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of
Incorporation, a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders, and the stockholders
present at any duly convened meeting may continue to do business until
adjournment notwithstanding any withdrawal from the meeting of holders of shares
counted in determining the existence of a quorum. Unless otherwise
provided in the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any meeting of the
stockholders may be adjourned from time to time by the chairman of the meeting
or the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock, present in
person or represented by proxy, whether or not a quorum is present, without
notice other than by announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is
taken, and at any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present any
action may be taken that could have been taken at the meeting originally called;
provided that if the
adjournment is for more than 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 adjourned
meeting.
2.7. Voting by
Stockholders.
(a) Voting on Matters Other than
the Election of Directors. With respect to any matters as to
which no other voting requirement is specified by the NRS, the Articles of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, and, subject to the rights of the holders of any
series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specific circumstances, the
affirmative vote required for stockholder action shall be that of a majority of
the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting (as counted
for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum at the
meeting).
(b) Voting in the Election of
Directors. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of
Incorporation or these Bylaws in accordance with the NRS, directors shall be
elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors at a
meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present.
(c) Consents in Lieu of
Meeting. Any action that is required or permitted to be taken
by the stockholders of the Company at any annual or special meeting of
stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a
written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of
the voting power, except that if a different proportion of voting power is
required for such an action at a meeting, then that proportion of written
consents is required. In no instance where action is authorized by
written consent need a meeting of stockholders be called or notice
given.
2
(d) Telephone
Meetings. Stockholders may participate in a meeting of
stockholders by means of a telephone conference or similar methods of
communication by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each
other. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this subsection constitutes
presence in person at the meeting.
(e)
Other. The
Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the officer of the Company presiding
at a meeting of stockholders of the Company, in his discretion, may require that
any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.
2.8. Business to be Conducted at
Annual or Special Stockholder Meetings. At any annual or special meeting
of stockholders, only such business shall be conducted, and only such proposals
shall be acted upon, as shall have been disclosed in the notice delivered to the
stockholders with respect to such meeting.
2.9. Proxies. Each
stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another
person or persons to act for him by proxy. Proxies for use at any
meeting of stockholders shall be filed with the Secretary, or such other officer
as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution, before
or at the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and
taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary
of the meeting who shall decide all questions relating to the qualification of
voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes,
unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of
the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such
questions.
2.10. Approval or Ratification of
Acts or Contracts by Stockholders. The Board of Directors in
its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at
any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the
stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and
any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the
stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of
the Company entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting
(provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the
Company and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by
every stockholder of the Company.
2.11. Inspectors of
Election. The Company shall, in advance of any meeting of
stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may be employees
of the Company, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a
written report thereof. The Company may designate one or more persons
as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If
no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of
stockholders, the chairman or the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint
one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before
entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath to
execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and
according to the best of his ability.
The
inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall: (a) ascertain the
number of shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding and the voting
power of each such share; (b) determine the shares of capital stock of the
Company represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; (c)
count all votes and ballots; (d) determine and retain for a reasonable period a
record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the
inspectors; and (e) certify their determination of the number of shares of the
capital stock of the Company represented at the meeting and such inspectors’
count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall
specify such other information as may be required by law. In
determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting
of stockholders of the Company, the inspectors may consider such information as
is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an
office at an election may serve as an inspector at such
election.

(a) The
powers of the Company shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the
business and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the direction of, the
Board of Directors. Each director shall hold office for the full term
for which such director is elected and until such director’s successor shall
have been duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death or resignation
or removal in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation or these
Bylaws.
(b) Within
the limits specified in the Articles of Incorporation, and subject to the rights
of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under
specific circumstances, the number of directors that shall constitute the whole
Board of Directors shall be fixed by, and may be increased or decreased from
time to time by, the affirmative vote of a majority of the stockholders of the
Company or a majority of the members at any time constituting the Board of
Directors. Except as provided in the Articles of Incorporation, and
subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect
directors under specific circumstances, newly created directorships resulting
from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board of
Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other
cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining
directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of
Directors. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding
sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of
directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and
until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or until
his earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number
of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any
incumbent director.

Directors to the extent permitted by the NRS, including, without limitation, the
power and authority to declare a dividend, to authorize the issuance of stock or

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.

Directors of any such request.
6.3. Extension of
Rights. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VI
or any provision hereof shall be effective as to any Indemnitee for acts, events

alteration or repeal. The provisions of this Article VI shall
continue as to an Indemnitee whose Corporate Status has ceased for any reason
and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and
administrators. Neither the provisions of this Article VI nor those
of any agreement to which the Company is a party shall be deemed to preclude the
indemnification of any person who is not specified in this Article VI as having
the right to receive indemnification or is not a party to any such agreement,
but whom the Company has the power or obligation to indemnify under the
provisions of the NRS.
6.4. Insurance and
Subrogation. The Company shall not be liable under the
Articles of Incorporation or this Article VI to make any payment of amounts

hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all
the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required

impaired thereby; and, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this
Article VI shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by
the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
6.6. Notices. Promptly
after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action,
suit or proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if he anticipates or contemplates
making a claim for expenses or an advance pursuant to the terms of the Articles
of Incorporation and this Article VI, notify the Company of the commencement of
such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that any
delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver or release by
the Indemnitee of rights hereunder and that any omission by the Indemnitee to so
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability that it may
have to the Indemnitee otherwise than under the Articles of Incorporation or
this Article VI. Any communication required or permitted to the
Company shall be addressed to the Secretary and any such communication to the
Indemnitee shall be addressed to the Indemnitee’s address as shown on the
Company’s records unless he specifies otherwise and shall be personally
delivered or delivered by overnight mail delivery. Any such notice
shall be effective upon receipt.
6.7. Contractual
Rights. The right to be indemnified or to the advancement or

consideration, pursuant to which the Indemnitee may xxx as if these provisions

Company, (b) is and is intended to be retroactive and shall be available as to
events occurring prior to the adoption of these provisions, and (c) shall
