CAPITAL STOCK
4.1 The aggregate number of shares the corporation has authority to issue is 50,000,000 shares, par value of $0.001 per share, consisting of 45,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of undesignated Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the corporation has the authority, without first obtaining approval of the stockholders of the corporation or any class thereof, to establish from the undesignated shares of Preferred Stock, by resolution adopted and filed in the manner provided by law, one or more series of Preferred Stock and to fix the number of shares, the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such class or series.
4.2 The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.
4.3 Unless and except to the extent set forth in a resolution adopted and filed in the manner provided by law establishing one or more series of Preferred Stock, no holder of shares of the corporation of any class or series now or hereafter authorized has any preferential or preemptive right provided under applicable law to subscribe for, purchase or receive any shares of the corporation of any class or series now or hereafter authorized, or any options or warrants for such shares, that may at any time be issued, sold or offered for sale by the Company.
4.4 No holder of shares of the Company of any class now or hereafter authorized will be entitled to cumulative voting.
