INFORMATION STATEMENT
 
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
 
This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about October 14, 2008, to the holders of record of the outstanding common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”) of Synthenol, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “ Company ”), as of the close of business on September 24, 2008 (the “ Record Date ”), pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ).  This Information Statement relates to a written consent in lieu of a meeting, dated September 26, 2008, (the “ Written Consent ”) of shareholders of the Company owning at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date (the “ Majority Shareholders ”).  Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this information statement to “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are references to Synthenol, Inc.
 
The Written Consent approved a change in the state of incorporation of the Company from Florida to Nevada by merging the Company with and into a newly formed Nevada subsidiary (the “ Reincorporation ”), pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the “ Plan of Merger ”), in connection with which the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Nevada corporation shall become the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company.
 
The Written Consent constitutes the consent of a majority of the total number of shares of outstanding Common Stock and is sufficient under the Florida Business Corporation Act and the Company’s Bylaws to approve the Reincorporation.  Accordingly, the Reincorporation is not presently being submitted to the Company’s other shareholders for a vote.  The  Reincorporation will become effective on or about October 30, 2008 or as soon thereafter as practicable, following the filing of Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State and Florida Secretary of State.  
 
This is not a notice of a meeting of shareholders and no shareholders’ meeting will be held to consider the matters described herein.  This Information Statement is being furnished to you solely for the purpose of informing shareholders of the matters described herein pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, including Regulation 14C.

GENERAL INFORMATION
 
This Information Statement is being first mailed on or about October 14, 2008, to shareholders of the Company by the board of directors to provide material information regarding corporate actions that have been approved by the Written Consent of the Majority Shareholders.
 
Only one copy of this Information Statement is being delivered to two or more shareholders who share an address unless we have received contrary instruction from one or more of such shareholders.  We will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the Information Statement to a security holder at a shared address to which a single copy of the document was delivered.  If you would like to request additional copies of the Information Statement, or if in the future you would like to receive multiple copies of information statements or proxy statements, or annual reports, or, if you are currently receiving multiple copies of these documents and would, in the future, like to receive only a single copy, please so instruct us by writing to the corporate secretary at the Company’s executive offices at the address specified above.
 
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR YOUR VOTE OR A PROXY STATEMENT, BUT RATHER AN INFORMATION STATEMENT DESIGNED TO INFORM YOU OF CERTAIN ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS.
 
The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company.  We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by them.
 
AUTHORIZATION BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AND THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS
 
Under the Florida Business Corporation Act and the Company’s Bylaws, any action that can be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that will be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted consent to such action in writing.  The approval of the Reincorporation requires the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Each shareholder is entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock on any matter which may properly come before the shareholders.
 
On the Record Date, the Company had 711,018 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding with the holders thereof being entitled to cast one vote per share.
 
On September 24, 2008, our board of directors (“ Board of Directors ”) unanimously adopted resolutions approving the Reincorporation and recommended that our shareholders approve the Plan of Merger as set forth in Appendix A .  In connection with the adoption of these resolutions, our Board of Directors elected to seek the written consent of the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares in order to reduce associated costs and implement the proposals in a timely manner.     
 
Our Board of Directors believes that the change in our state of incorporation is desirable because it will result in the Company being incorporated in a state with a widely recognized body of corporate law and no state income tax.
 
CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
 
On September 26, 2008, Viking Investments Group LLC being the record holders of 366,520 shares of our Common Stock, constituting 51.5% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock approved in writing the Reincorporation.
 
3

 
Accordingly, the Company has obtained all necessary corporate approvals in connection with the adoption of the Reincorporation.  The Company is not seeking written consent from any other shareholders, and the other shareholders will not be given an opportunity to vote with respect to the actions described in this Information Statement.  All necessary corporate approvals have been obtained.  This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purposes of advising shareholders of the action taken by written consent and giving shareholders notice of such actions taken as required by the Exchange Act.
 
The Company will, when permissible following the expiration of the 10 day period mandated by the Florida Business Corporation Act and the 20 day period mandated by Rule 14C, execute the Plan of Merger and file Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada and the Secretary of State of Florida to effect the Reincorporation.  Our Board of Directors has fixed October 30, 2008 as the effective date of the Reincorporation (the “ Effective Date ”).
 
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S CAPITAL STOCK
 
The Company’s authorized capital currently consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock par value $0.01 per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock par value $0.01 per share (“ Preferred Stock ”).  Each share of Common Stock entitles its record holder to one (1) vote per share.  Holders of the Company’s Common Stock do not have cumulative voting, conversion, redemption rights or preemptive rights to acquire additional shares.      
 
At the close of business on the Record Date, the Company had 711,018 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

CHANGES OF CONTROL
 
On August 15, 2008, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with certain of our stockholders (“ Sellers ”), Michael Jackson, in his capacity as the Sellers’ Representative and Viking pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to sell to Viking 366,520 shares of Common Stock (the “ Shares ”) for a purchase price in the aggregate amount of $350,000.  In connection with the sale of the Shares, certain of our debt in the aggregate principal amount of $243,500 held by the Sellers and certain parties were assigned to the Viking by the holders of such debts as reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) on August 21, 2008.  The sale represented a change of control of the Company and the Shares acquired by Viking represented approximately 51.5% of our issued and outstanding capital stock calculated on a fully-diluted basis.
 
CHANGE IN OUR STATE OF INCORPORATION
FROM FLORIDA TO NEVADA
 
On September 24, 2008, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions, subject to shareholder approval, to change our state of incorporation from Florida to Nevada.  In order to accomplish the change in the state of incorporation, we will merge with and into our wholly-owned corporation which has been incorporated in Nevada specifically for that purpose under the name “SinoCubate, Inc.” (“ SinoCubate ”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Merger, SinoCubate will be the surviving corporation and the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will automatically be converted into shares of SinoCubate common stock at the rate of one share of SinoCubate common stock for each one share of Common Stock.  The form of the Plan of Merger of is attached hereto as Appendix A . Upon completion of the merger, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of SinoCubate will become the governing instruments of the Company and will differ in several respects from the current Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as more thoroughly discussed below.
 
Reasons for the Reincorporation
 
Nevada is a nationally-recognized leader in adopting and implementing comprehensive and flexible corporation laws that are frequently revised and updated to accommodate changing legal and business needs.  In light of the Company’s expected growth plans, our Board of Directors believes that it will be beneficial to the Company and our shareholders to obtain the benefits of Nevada’s corporation laws.  Nevada courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate legal issues and have produced a substantial body of case law construing Nevada corporation laws, with multiple cases concerning areas that Florida courts have not yet considered.  Because the judicial system is based largely on legal precedents, the abundance of Nevada case law should serve to enhance the relative clarity and predictability of many areas of corporation law, and allow our Board of Directors and management to make business decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of such decisions and actions.    
 
Certain Effects of the Change in State of Incorporation
 
The Reincorporation will effect a change in the Company’s legal domicile and, by virtue of the consummation of the merger, name.  The Reincorporation will not result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, management, location of any of offices or facilities, number of employees, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs incident to the Reincorporation, which are immaterial).  Management, including all directors and officers, will remain the same in connection with the Reincorporation and will assume identical positions with SinoCubate.  There will be no substantive change in other direct or indirect interests of the current directors or executive officers as a result of the Reincorporation. Upon the effective time of the Reincorporation, each shareholder’s shares of Common Stock will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock of SinoCubate.
 
7

 
As previously noted, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of SinoCubate will be the governing instruments of the surviving corporation following the merger with the Company, resulting in several changes from the current Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company.  Some of these changes are purely procedural in nature, such as a change in the registered office and agent of the Company from an office and agent in Florida to an office and agent in Nevada.  Some changes, however, will be substantive in nature.  There are also material differences between the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “ FBCA ”) and Nevada corporation laws.  Certain substantive changes to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as well as the material differences between Florida and Nevada law are discussed below. Such summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Florida and Nevada corporate laws and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of SinoCubate, copies of which are included herewith as Appendix B and Appendix C , respectively.  For ease of comparison, the Company’s current Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws are included herewith as Appendix D and Appendix E , respectively.
 
As disclosed in more detail under the heading “Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Nevada Law and Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws” below, certain provisions of SinoCubate’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes may have anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult for or preventing a third party from acquiring control of our Company or changing our Board and management. These provisions may also have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in our Company’s control or in our management.
 
Changes to Articles of Incorporation
 
(a)       Change in Par Value .
 
The Company’s authorized capital on the Record Date consisted of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share.  The total authorized capital of SinoCubate consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share.
 
The shares of common stock authorized under SinoCubate’s Articles of Incorporation will be substantially identical to the shares of Common Stock now authorized under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.  Holders of Common Stock are not entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, and are not entitled under SinoCubate’s Articles of Incorporation, to preemptive rights to subscribe for additional securities that may be issued by SinoCubate in the future.  
 
(b)      Limited Liability of Directors .
 
The Articles of Incorporation of SinoCubate limit the liability of the Company’s directors to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law.  As a result, a director will have no personal liability to the Company or its shareholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (b) the payment of distributions in violation of section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.  The Company’s current Articles of Incorporation do not contain any provision limiting the liability of the Company’s directors under Florida law.  Our Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company to provide such indemnification of our directors and officers  under certain circumstances in order to attract and retain superior candidates for these positions.  We understand, however, that insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Exchange Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to provisions of SinoCubate’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Exchange Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
8

 
(c)       No Restrictions on Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders .
 
The Company has elected not to be governed by the terms and provisions of Sections 78.411 through 78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, regulating corporate takeovers, so the SinoCubate Articles of Incorporation opts out of these provisions.  The application of these sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes would have limited the ability of the Company’s stockholders to approve a transaction that they may deem to be in their interests.  Our Board of Directors has determined that remaining subject to this statute would place unnecessary burdens on the Company in connection with the completion of beneficial business transactions with interested stockholders, and has thus decided to forego the provisions of these sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes.  The FBCA subjects the Company to similar restrictions on transactions with interested shareholders, summarized below under the heading “ Change from Florida Law to Nevada Law, ” and the Company’s current Articles of Incorporation contains a provision expressly electing not to be governed by that statute.
 
(d)       No Restrictions on Control Share Acquisitions .
 
In its Articles of Incorporation, SinoCubate has elected not to be governed by the terms and provisions of Sections 78.378 through 78.3793, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, restricting certain acquisitions of a controlling interest in a corporation.  Our Board of Directors has determined that remaining subject to this statute would place unnecessary burdens on the Company in connection with the completion of third party financings, and has thus decided to forego the provisions of these sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes.  Though, as currently written, the FBCA subjects companies to similar restrictions on control share acquisitions, summarized below under the heading “ Change from Florida Law to Nevada Law ,” the FBCA expressly allows the Company to continue to remain exempted from the statute because the Company had elected not to be governed by such provisions before the change in the statutes.
 
Changes to Bylaws
 
(a)       Removal of Directors .
 
In accordance with Florida law, the Company’s current Bylaws provide that a director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, at a meeting called expressly for the purpose of removing a director or directors if the number of votes cast for removal exceeds the number of votes cast against removal. SinoCubate’s Bylaws provide that at any meeting of the stockholders, any director or directors may be removed from office, without assignment of any reason, by a majority vote of the shares or class of shares, as the case may be, which elected the director or directors to be removed, provided, however, that if less than all the directors are to be removed, no individual director shall be removed if the number of votes cast against her or his removal would be sufficient, if cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board, to elect one or more directors.
 
(b)      Vacancies Occurring in Board of Directors .
 
Under the Company’s current Bylaws, a vacancy occurring in our Board of Directors may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director or elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum of the shareholders is present.  Under SinoCubate’s Bylaws, when any director or directors are removed, new directors may be elected at the same meeting of the stockholders for the unexpired term of the director or directors removed.  If the stockholders fail to elect persons to fill the unexpired term or terms of the director or directors removed, these unexpired terms shall be considered vacancies on the board to be filled by the remaining directors.  
 
Change from Florida Law to Nevada Law
 
As a result of the reincorporation, the Company will now be governed by Nevada corporation laws.  The following chart summarizes some of the material differences between the FBCA and Nevada corporation laws.  This chart does not address each difference between Florida law and Nevada law, but focuses on some of those

differences which the Company believes are most relevant to the existing shareholders.  This chart is not intended as an exhaustive list of all differences, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Florida and Nevada law.
 
Florida
 
Nevada
Standard of Conduct for Directors
 
Under the FBCA, directors also have a fiduciary relationship to their corporation and its shareholders and, as such, are required to discharge their duties as a director in good faith with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner they reasonably believe to be in the best interests of the corporation. In discharging his or her duties, a director may consider such factors as the director deems relevant, including the long-term prospects and interests of the corporation and its shareholders, and the social, economic, legal, or other effects of any action on the employees, suppliers, customers of the corporation or its subsidiaries, the communities and society in which the corporation or its subsidiaries operate, and the economy of the state and the nation.  
 
In Nevada, a corporation’s directors are held accountable to use “reasonable business judgment” in directing and overseeing the activities of the corporation. They have fiduciary obligations which cannot be breached. Directors can be held accountable to the shareholders if they fail to properly fulfill their duties or otherwise act against the interests of the corporation.
 
In order to fulfill their duties to the corporation and shareholders, directors are bound to use reasonable care and business judgment. Their performance will be based upon what a prudent person would decide under the circumstances. Their decisions do not necessarily need to pan out to be successful, as long as their business judgment was reasonable under the circumstances at the time that the relevant decision was made.  
 
Directors must make all decisions in the best interest of the corporation and not based upon their own self interests or the interests of other parties. Directors generally cannot personally profit to the detriment of the corporation.  In any situation where a director stands to benefit personally, full disclosure of this personal benefit should be made prior to the making of such decisions. Transactions where a director stands to gain personally are not necessarily invalid, but will be specially scrutinized for fairness to the corporation and to determine whether the director’s personal interests were properly disclosed prior to the making of the relevant decision.  
Dividends and other Distributions
 
Under the FBCA, a corporation may make a distribution, unless after giving effect to the distribution: the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business; or the corporation’s assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities. Under the FBCA, a corporation’s redemption of its own common stock is deemed a distribution.  
 
Nevada law prohibits distributions to stockholders when the distributions would (i) render the corporation unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business and (ii) render the corporation’s total assets less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.

Nevada
Limitation of Liability
 
The FBCA generally provides that a director of a corporation is not personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or other person unless the director breached or failed to perform his duties as a director, and such breach or failure: constitutes a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; constitutes a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; and results in an unlawful distribution; in the case of a derivative action or an action by a shareholder, which constitutes conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation or willful misconduct; or in the case of a proceeding other than a derivative action or an action by a shareholder, constitutes recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety or property.  
 
Under Nevada law, unless the articles of incorporation provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its shareholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or office unless it is proven that: (a) His act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and (b) His breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.  
 
Indemnification
 
Florida law allows indemnification if a person had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; a transaction from which the person derived an improper personal benefit; in the case of a director, an unlawful distribution to shareholders; or willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or a shareholder.
 
Under Florida law, unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, notwithstanding the failure of a corporation to provide indemnification, and despite any contrary determination of the board or of the shareholders in the specific case, a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation who is or was a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification or advancement of expenses, or both, to the court conducting the proceeding, to the circuit court, or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application, the court, after giving any notice that it considers necessary, may order indemnification and advancement of expenses, including expenses incurred in seeking court-ordered indemnification or advancement of expenses, if it determines that:
 
 
 
In suits that are not brought by or in the right of the corporation, Nevada law permits a corporation to indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents for attorney’s fees and other expenses, judgments and amounts paid in settlement. The person seeking indemnity may recover as long as he acted in good faith and believed his actions were either in the best interests of or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Similarly, the person seeking indemnification must not have had any reason to believe his conduct was unlawful.  
 
In derivative suits, a corporation may indemnify its agents for expenses that the person actually and reasonably incurred. A corporation may not indemnify a person if the person was adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless a court otherwise orders.  
 
No corporation may indemnify a party unless it makes a determination that indemnification is proper. The corporation through its stockholders, directors or independent counsel must only determine that the indemnification is proper.
 
Nevada law does not require employees to give the undertaking. Nevada precludes liability limitation for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct and for paying dividends or repurchasing stock out of other than lawfully available funds.

(1) the indemnitee is entitled to mandatory indemnification, in which case the court shall also order the corporation to pay the director reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining court-ordered indemnification or advancement of expenses;
 
(2) the indemnitee is entitled to further indemnification or advancement of expenses, or both, by virtue of the corporation’s exercise of its power; or
 
(3) the indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses, or both, in view of all the relevant circumstances, regardless of whether such person met the required standard of conduct.  
   
 
Amendment to Articles of Incorporation
 
The FBCA generally requires approval by a majority of directors and by holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any amendment to a Florida corporation’s articles of incorporation.  In addition, the amendment must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the amendment by any class or series of shares with respect to which the amendment would create dissenters’ rights.  The board of directors must recommend the amendment to the shareholders, unless the board of directors determines that because of conflict of interest or other special circumstances it should make no recommendation and the shareholders with the amendment.  
 
Nevada law requires the approval of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares entitled to vote (with, in each case, each stockholder being entitled to one vote for each share so held) to approve proposed amendments to a corporation’s charter.  
 
Nevada law does not require stockholder approval for the board of directors of a corporation to fix the voting powers, designation, preferences, limitations, restrictions and rights of a class of stock provided that the corporation’s charter documents grant such power to its board of directors. The holders of the outstanding shares of a particular class are entitled to vote as a class on a proposed amendment if the amendment would alter or change the power, preferences or special rights of one or more series of any class so to affect them adversely.  
 
Corporate Opportunity
 
The FBCA provides that a contract or other transaction between a Florida corporation and any of its directors or any entity in which one of its directors or officers holds a position of office or a financial interest will not be void because of such relationship or interest or because that director was present at the meeting of directors which authorized that transaction if: the fact of the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the board and the transaction is authorized by a majority of the disinterested directors.  
 
A director breaches her duty of loyalty to the corporation if the director takes a business opportunity that is within the scope of the corporation’s potential business for himself or presents it to another party without first giving the corporation an opportunity to fairly consider the business opportunity. All such opportunities should be presented first to the corporation and fully considered.

However, a contract or other transaction is not void or voidable solely because the contract or transaction is between a Nevada corporation and its director if the fact of financial interest is known to the board of directors or committee, and the board or committee authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction in good faith by a vote sufficient for the purpose without counting the vote of the interested director, and the contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation at the time it is authorized.  
 
Expiration of Proxies
 
The FBCA provides that proxies may be valid for 11 months unless a longer period is provided in the proxy.  
 
Nevada law provides that proxies may not be valid for more than 6 months, unless the proxy is coupled with an interest or the shareholder specifies that the proxy is to continue in force for a longer period.  
 
Interested Shareholder Combinations
 
 Section 607.0901 of the FBCA (also referred to as the Florida Affiliated Transactions Act) generally requires approval by a majority of disinterested directors or two-thirds of shareholders in specified transactions between a corporation and holders of more than 10% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation (or their affiliates).  Florida law also permits the board of directors evaluating a tender offer or other business combination to consider all relevant factors including, without limitation, social, legal, economic or other effects on employees, customers, suppliers, and other constituencies, possible impact on the local community, and impact on the Florida and national economies.  The statute generally permits companies to elect not to be governed by its provisions.  However the Company’s current Articles of Incorporation does not contain a provision expressly electing not to be governed by this statute.
 
Section 78.438 of the Nevada Revised Statutes prohibits a Nevada corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder (any entity or person beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by any of these entities or persons) for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless prior to that date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder.  Section 78.439 provides that business combinations after the three year period following the date that the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder may also be prohibited unless approved by the corporation's directors or other stockholders or unless the price and terms of the transaction meet the criteria set forth in the statute.  In its Articles of Incorporation, SinoCubate opts out of these provisions and so they are not applicable to the Company.
 
Control Share Acquisitions
 
Section 607.0902 of the FBCA (also referred to as the Florida Control Share Act) generally provides that shares acquired in a "control share acquisition" will not possess any voting rights unless such voting rights are approved by a majority of the corporation's disinterested shareholders.  A "control-share acquisition" is an acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any person having
 
Sections 78.378 through 78.3793 of the Nevada Revised Statutes limit the voting rights of certain acquired shares in a corporation. The provisions generally apply to any acquisition of outstanding voting securities of a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of which are Nevada residents, and conducts business in Nevada (an “issuing corporation”) resulting in ownership of
 
 
13

 
 
Florida
 
Nevada
ownership of, or the power to direct the exercise of voting power with respect to, issued and outstanding "control shares" of a publicly held Florida corporation. "Control Shares" are shares which, except for the Florida Control Share Act, would have voting power that, when added to all other shares owned by a person or in respect to which such person may exercise or direct the exercise of voting power, would entitle such person, immediately after acquisition of such shares, directly or indirectly, alone or as a part of a group, to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power in the election of directors within any of the following ranges: (a) at least 20% but less than 331/3% of all voting power; (b) at least 331/3% but less than a majority of all voting power; or (c) a majority or more of all  voting power.
 
one of the following categories of an issuing corporation's then outstanding voting securities: (i) 20% or more but less than 23%; (ii) 23% or more but less than 50%; or (iii) 50% or more.  The securities acquired in such acquisition are denied voting rights unless a majority of the security holders approve the granting of such voting rights.  Unless an issuing corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws then in effect provide otherwise: (i) voting securities acquired are also redeemable in part or in whole by an issuing corporation at the average price paid for the securities within 30 days if the acquiring person has not given a timely information statement to an issuing corporation or if the stockholders vote not to grant voting rights to the acquiring person's securities, and (ii) if outstanding securities and the security holders grant voting rights to such acquiring person, then any security holder who voted against granting voting rights to the acquiring person may demand the purchase from an issuing corporation, for fair value, all or any portion of his securities. In its Articles of Incorporation, SinoCubate opts out of these provisions and so they are not applicable to the Company.
 
 
Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Nevada Law and SinoCubate’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
 
The SEC’s Release No. 34-15230 requires disclosure and discussion of the effects of any stockholder proposal that may be used as an anti-takeover device.  Certain provisions of Nevada’s corporation law and SinoCubate’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal that a stockholder might consider favorable, including a proposal that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders. These provisions are summarized in the following paragraphs.
 
Limitation of Director Liability .  SinoCubate’s Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of our directors (in their capacity as directors but not in their capacity as officers) to us or our stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.  Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (a) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law; or (b) under Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which relates to unlawful payments of dividends.
 
Indemnification Arrangements .  Our bylaws provide that our directors and officers be indemnified and provide for the advancement to them of expenses in connection with actual or threatened proceedings and claims arising out of their status as such to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes.  We expect to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that provide them with rights to indemnification and expense advancement to the fullest extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes.
 
Accounting Treatment
 
The Reincorporation would be accounted for as a reverse merger under which, for accounting purposes, the Company would be considered the acquiror and the surviving corporation, SinoCubate, would be treated as the
 
14

 
successor to the Company’s historical operations. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements would be treated as the financial statements of the surviving corporation.
 
Anticipated Federal Tax Consequences
 
The Company has not requested and will not request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, nor has the Company requested or received a tax opinion from an attorney, as to the various tax consequences of the Reincorporation in the State of Nevada.  The Company is structuring the Reincorporation in an effort to obtain the following consequences:
 
(a)        
the Reincorporation of the Company in the State of Nevada to be accomplished by a merger between the Company and SinoCubate, will constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986;
 
(b)        
no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes will be recognized by shareholders of the Company on receipt by them of the common stock of SinoCubate in exchange for shares of the Company’s Common Stock;
 
(c)        
the basis of the SinoCubate common stock received by shareholders of the Company in exchange for their shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Reincorporation in the State of Nevada will be the same as the basis for the Company’s Common Stock; and
 
(d)        
the holding period for the SinoCubate common stock for capital gains treatment received in exchange for the Company’s Common Stock will include the period during which the Company’s Common Stock exchanged therefor is held.
 
This discussion should not be considered as tax or investment advice, and the tax consequences of the Reincorporation may not be the same for all shareholders.  It should be noted that the foregoing positions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, which may challenge the tax-free nature of the Reincorporation in the state of Nevada.  A successful challenge by the Internal Revenue Service could result in taxable income to the Company, SinoCubate, and our shareholders, as well as other adverse tax consequences. ACCORDINGLY, EACH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF THE REINCORPORATION.  
 
Exchange of Stock Certificates
 
Following effectiveness of the Reincorporation in Nevada, all stock certificates which represented shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall represent ownership of SinoCubate common stock.  We will print new stock certificates and we will obtain a new CUSIP number for our common stock that reflects the name change and change in our state of incorporation, although shareholders will not be required to tender their old stock certificates for transfer.  However, to eliminate confusion in transactions in the Company’s securities in the over-the-counter market, management urges shareholders to surrender their old certificates in exchange for new certificates issued in the new name of the Company and has adopted a policy to facilitate this process.  Each shareholder will be entitled to submit his or her old stock certificates (any certificates issued prior to the effective date of the change in the Company’s state of incorporation) to the transfer agent of the Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., 1981 East Murray Holladay Road, Suite 100, P.O. Box 17136, Salt Lake City, UT 84117, Tel:  (801) 272-9294 and to be issued in exchange therefor, new common stock certificates representing the number of shares of SinoCubate common stock of which each shareholder is the record owner after giving effect to the Reincorporation, and for a period of 30 days after the Effective Date, the Company will pay on one occasion only for such issuance.  The Company will not pay for issuing stock certificates in the name of a person other than the name appearing on the old certificate or for the issuance of new stock certificates in excess of the number of old certificates submitted by a shareholder. SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S).

DISSENTER’S RIGHTS
 
Under Florida law, holders of our Common Stock are not entitled to dissenter’s rights of appraisal with respect to the adoption of the Plan and our proposed Reincorporation.

ARTICLE IV.
 
EFFECT OF MERGER
 
4.1     Effect of Merger on Constituent Entities .   At the Effective Time of the Merger, the Constituent Entities shall become a single corporation, which shall be SinoCubate, and the separate existence of the Company shall cease except to the extent provided by the laws of the States of Florida and Nevada. SinoCubate shall thereupon and thereafter possess all the rights, privileges, immunities and franchises, of both a public and private nature, of each of the Constituent Entities; and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due on whatever account, including subscriptions to shares, and all other choices in action, and all and every other interest of, or belonging to, or due to each of the Constituent Entities, shall be taken and deemed to be vested in SinoCubate without further act or deed; and the title to all real estate, or any interest therein, vested in either of the Constituent Entities shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the Merger. SinoCubate shall thenceforth be responsible and liable for all of the liabilities and obligations of each of the Constituent Entities and any existing claim, action or proceeding pending by or against either of the Constituent Entities may be prosecuted to judgment as if the Merger had not occurred, or the Surviving Entity may be substituted in such claim, action or proceeding, and neither the rights of creditors nor any liens upon the property of either of the Constituent Entities shall be impaired by the Merger.
 
4.2     Effect of Merger on Capital Stock .  At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Constituent Entities or the shareholders:
 
            (a)       each share of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of SinoCubate common stock (“ SinoCubate Common Stock ”), with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares of Common Stock so converted, and all shares of such Common Stock shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist.
 
            (b)       all outstanding and unexercised portions of all option, warrant and security exercisable or convertible by its terms into Common Stock (including convertible promissory notes), whether vested or unvested, which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “ Company Stock Option ”) shall be assumed by SinoCubate and shall be deemed to constitute an option, warrant or convertible security, as the case may be, to acquire the same number of shares of SinoCubate Common Stock as the holder of such Company Stock Option would have been entitled to receive had such holder exercised or converted such Company Stock Option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time (not taking into account whether such Company Stock Option was in fact exercisable or convertible at such time), at the same exercise price per share, and shall, to the extent permitted by law and otherwise reasonably practicable, have the same term, exercisability, vesting schedule, status and all other material terms and conditions (continuous employment with the Company will be credited to an optionee for purposes of determining the vesting of the number of shares of the Common Stock subject to exercise under an assumed option at the Effective Time). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, SinoCubate shall deliver to each holder of a Company Stock Option an option, warrant or convertible security, as the case may be, in SinoCubate, and shall take all steps to ensure that a sufficient number of shares of SinoCubate Common Stock is reserved for the
 
3

 
exercise of such Company Stock Options for each share of SinoCubate Common Stock so reserved as of the Effective Time.
 
            (c)       No fractional shares of the Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger.
 
            (d)       Each share of SinoCubate Common Stock owned by the Company shall no longer be outstanding and shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist.
 
4.3     Certificates .   At and after the Effective Time, all of the outstanding certificates that immediately prior thereto represented shares of Common Stock, options, warrants or other securities of the Company (other than shares held by Dissenting Shareholders as defined below), shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence ownership of and to represent the shares of the respective SinoCubate Common Stock, options, warrants or other securities of SinoCubate, as the case may be, into which the shares represented by such certificates have been converted as herein provided and shall be so registered on the books and records of SinoCubate or its transfer agent. The registered owner of any such outstanding certificate shall, until such certificate shall have been surrendered for transfer or otherwise accounted for to SinoCubate or its transfer agent, have and be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to, and to receive any dividends and other distributions upon, the shares of Common Stock, options, warrants or other securities of SinoCubate, as the case may be, evidenced by such outstanding certificate, as above provided.

Section 1. Annual Meetings.

(a)
The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, commencing with the year 2008  shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation in the State of Nevada or at any other place within or without the State of Nevada as may be determined by the Board of Directors and as may be designated in the notice of that meeting.

The business to be transacted at the meeting shall be the election of directors and such other business as properly brought before the meeting.

(b)
If the election of directors shall not be held on the day herein designated for any annual meeting, or at any adjournment of that meeting, the Board of Directors shall call a special meeting of the stockholders as soon as possible thereafter.

At this meeting the election of directors shall take place, and the election and any other business transacted shall have the same force and effect as at an annual meeting duly called and held.
 
(c)
No change in the time or place for a meeting for the election of directors shall be made within 20 days preceding the day on which the election is to be held.  Written notice of any change shall be given each stockholder at least 20 days before the election is held, either in person or by letter mailed to the stockholder at the address last shown on the books of the Corporation.

In the event the annual meeting is not held at the time prescribed in Article II, Section I(a) above, and if the Board of Directors shall not call a special meeting as pre­scribed in Article II, Section l(b) above within three months after the date prescribed for the annual meeting, then any stockholder may call that meeting, and at that meeting the stockholders may elect the directors and transact other business with the same force and effect as at an annual meeting duly called and held.

Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the President or by the holders of at least 33  percent (%) of the stock entitled to vote at that meeting.

(c)
If the Stock Transfer Books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of the stockholders of record, the date of which notice of the meeting is mailed, or on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring a dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for the determination of stockholders.

Section 3.  Removal.

(b)
When any director or directors are removed, new directors may be elected at the same meeting of the stockholders for the unexpired term of the director or directors removed.  If the stockholders fail to elect persons to fill the unexpired term or terms of the director or directors removed, these unexpired terms shall be considered vacancies on the board to be filled by the remaining directors.

ARTICLE TWO
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Section 1. Place.  All annual meetings of shareholders shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Florida, as may be designated by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. Special meetings of shareholders may be held at such place, within or without the State of Florida, and at such time as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.

Section 2. Time of Annual Meeting.  Annual meetings of shareholders shall be held on such date and at such time fixed, from time to time, by the Board of Directors, provided, that there shall be an annual meeting held every calendar year at which the shareholders shall elect a board of directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 3. Call of Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders shall be held if called in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles of Incorporation") for the call of a special meeting of shareholders.

Section 4. Conduct of Meetings. The Chairman of the Board of Directors (or in his absence, the President, or in his absence, such other designee of the Chairman of the Board of Directors) shall preside at the annual and special meetings of shareholders and shall be given full discretion in establishing the rules and procedures to be followed in conducting the meetings, except as otherwise provided by law or in these Bylaws.

Section 5. Notice and Waiver of Notice.  Except as otherwise provided by law, written or printed notice stating the place, date and time of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by first-class mail or other legally sufficient means, by or at the direction of the Chairman of the
 

 
Board, President, or the persons calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If the notice is mailed at least thirty (30) days before the date of the meeting, it may be done by a class of United States mail other than first class. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at the address appearing on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. If a meeting is adjourned to another time and/or place, and if an announcement of the adjourned time and/or place is made at the meeting, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting unless the Board of Directors, after adjournment, fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any shareholder, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether signed before, during or after the time of the meeting stated therein, and delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records, shall constitute an effective waiver of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the shareholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of (a) lack of or defective notice of such meeting, unless the person objects at the beginning to the holding of the meeting or the transacting of any business at the meeting, or (b) lack of or defective notice of a particular matter at a meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the person objects to considering such matter when it is presented.

Section 6. Business and Nominations for Annual and Special Meetings.  Business transacted at any special meeting shall be confined to the purposes stated in the notice thereof. At any annual meeting of shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth in the Articles of Incorporation. Only such per-sons who are nominated for election as directors of the Corporation in accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth in the Articles of Incorporation shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation.

Section 7. Quorum.  Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or applicable law, shares representing a majority of the votes pertaining to outstanding shares which are entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitute a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. If less than a quorum of shares are represented at a meeting, the holders of a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time. After a quorum has been established at any shareholders' meeting, the subsequent withdrawal of shareholders, so as to reduce the number of shares entitled to vote at the meeting below the number required for a quorum, shall not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting or any adjournment thereof Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.
 
Section 8. Voting Rights Per Share.  Each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders, except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any class are limited or denied by or pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation or the Florida Business Corporation Act.

Section 9. Voting of Shares.  A shareholder may vote at any meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by the officer, agent or proxy designated by the bylaws of such corporate shareholder or, in the absence of any applicable bylaw, by such person or persons as the board of directors of the corporate shareholder may designate. In the absence of any such designation, or, in case of conflicting designation by the corporate shareholder, the chairman of the board, the president, any vice president, the secretary and the treasurer of the corporate shareholder, in that order, shall be presumed to be fully authorized to vote such shares. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, personal representative, or conservator may be voted by such person, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by such person, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by such person without a transfer of such shares into his name or the name of his nominee. Shares held by or under the control of a receiver, a trustee in bankruptcy proceedings, or an assignee for the benefit of creditors may be voted by such person without the transfer thereof into his name. If shares stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary of the Corporation is given notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, then acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one votes, in person or by proxy, his act binds all; (b) if more than one vote, in person or by proxy, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one vote, in person or by proxy, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction is entitled to vote the share or shares in question proportionally; or (d) if the instrument or order so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interest, a majority or a vote evenly split for purposes hereof shall be a majority or a vote evenly split in interest The principles of this paragraph shall apply, insofar as possible, to execution of proxies, waivers, consents, or objections and for the purpose of ascertaining the presence of a quorum.

Section 10. Proxies.  Any shareholder of the Corporation, other person entitled to vote on behalf of a shareholder pursuant to law, or attorney-in-fact for such persons may vote the shareholder's shares in person or by proxy. Any shareholder of the Corporation may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for such person by signing an appointment form, either personally or by his attorney-in-fact. An executed telegram or cablegram appearing to have  been transmitted by such person, or a photographic, photostatic, or equivalent reproduction of an appointment form, shall be deemed a sufficient appointment form. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary of the Corporation (the "Secretary") or such other officer or agent which is authorized to tabulate votes, and shall be valid for up to 11 months, unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment form. The death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing a proxy does not affect the right of the Corporation to accept the proxy's authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy authority under the appointment is exercised. An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless the appointment form conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest.

Section 11. Shareholder List.  After fixing a record date for a meeting of shareholders, the Corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of all its shareholders who are entitled to notice of the meeting, arranged by voting group with the address of, and the number and class and series, if any, of shares held by each. The shareholders' list must be available for inspection by any shareholder for a period of ten (10) days prior to the meeting or such shorter time as exists between the record date and the meeting and continuing through the meeting at the Corporation's principal office, at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held, or at the office of the Corporation's transfer agent or registrar. Any shareholder of the Corporation or such person's agent or attorney is entitled on written demand to inspect the shareholders' list (subject to the requirements of law), during regular business hours and at his expense, during the period it is available for inspection. The Corporation shall make the shareholders' list available at the meeting of shareholders, and any shareholder or agent or attorney of such shareholder is entitled to inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment The shareholders' list is prima facie evidence of the identity of shareholders entitled to examine the shareholders' list or to vote at a meeting of shareholders.

Section 12. Action Without Meeting.  Any action required or permitted by law to be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting or notice if a consent, or consents, in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be dated and 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 voting groups and shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted with respect to the subject matter thereof, and such consent shall be delivered to the Corporation, within the period required by Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, by delivery to its principal office in the State of Florida, its principal place of business, the Secretary or another officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded. Within ten (10) days after obtaining such authorization by written consent, notice must be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing or who are not entitled to vote on the action, in accordance with the requirements of Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporation Act.

Section 13. Fixing Record Date.  For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in  order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purposes, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than seventy (70) days, and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten (10) days, before the meeting or action requiring such determination of shareholders. If no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders or the determination of shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date before the day on which the first notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolutions of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall  apply to any adjournment thereof, except where the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 14. Inspectors and Judges.  The Board of Directors in advance of any meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors of election or judges of the vote, as the case may be, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If any inspector or inspectors, or judge or judges, are not appointed, the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors or judges. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector or judge fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by the Board of Directors in advance of the meeting, or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. The inspectors or judges, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots and consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate votes, ballots and consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.

Notice by mail shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be received.

Section 1. Issue of Certificates.  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 of the Board or a Vice Chairman of the Board, or the Chief Executive Officer, President or Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, representing the number of shares registered in certificate form.

Alternatively, each certificate may state conspicuously on its front or back that the Corporation will furnish the shareholder a full statement of this information on request and without charge. Every certificate representing shares that are restricted as to the sale, disposition, or transfer of such shares shall also indicate that such shares are restricted as to transfer, and there shall be set forth or fairly summarized upon the certificate, or the certificate shall indicate that the Corporation will furnish to any shareholder upon request and without charge, a full statement of such restrictions. If, the Corporation issues any shares that are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or not registered or qualified under the applicable state securities laws, the transfer of any such shares shall be restricted substantially in accordance with the following legend:

"THESE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. THEY MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR PLEDGED WITHOUT (1) REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE LAW, OR (2) AT HOLDERS EXPENSE, AN OPINION (SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION) OF COUNSEL (SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION) THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."

In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon such certificate shall have 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.

Section 4. Lost Certificates.  The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

Section 7. Redemption of Control Shares.  As provided by the Florida  Business Corporation Act, if a person acquiring control shares of the Corporation does not file an acquiring person statement with the Corporation, the Corporation may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, redeem the control shares at the fair value thereof at any time during the 60-day period after the last acquisition of such control shares.
