(1) This Registration Statement covers the resale by our selling shareholders of up to 2,040,000 shares of common stock previously issued to such selling shareholders.
(2) The offering price has been estimated solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(o). Our common stock is not traded on any national exchange and in accordance with Rule 457; the offering price was determined by the price of the shares that were sold to our shareholders in a private placement memorandum. The price of $0.0166 is a fixed price at which the selling security holders may sell their shares until our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB at which time the shares may be sold at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.
THE REGISTRANT HEREBY AMENDS THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON SUCH DATE OR DATES AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO DELAY ITS EFFECTIVE DATE UNTIL THE REGISTRANT SHALL FILE A FURTHER AMENDMENT WHICH SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL THEREAFTER BECOME EFFECTIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8(a) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE ON SUCH DATE AS THE COMMISSION, ACTING PURSUANT TO SUCH SECTION 8(a), MAY DETERMINE.
The information in this preliminary prospectus is not complete and may be changed. These securities may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission becomes effective.

You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including Risk Factors, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Financial Statements, before making an investment decision. In this Prospectus, the terms Swift Start, Company, we, us and our refer to Swift Start Corp.
Plan
We plan to develop a website that will offer comprehensive online computer programming courses for anyone with any level of computer programming knowledge, from beginners to experts. We will offer courses for all major computer programming languages, such as: C#, .NET, C++, C, Objective C, Java, JavaScript, HTML, ASP, XML, JQuery, PHP, Flash, Python, SQL, PERL, VB.NET, AJAX, CSS and all Microsoft Office Products. Our video courses will be developed and taught by seasoned teachers with extensive experience in the computer programming fields. We plan on initially hiring three teachers to teach the computer programming courses.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an emerging growth company as that term is used in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
|
A requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related MD&A; |
|
Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth companys internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; |
|
Reduced disclosure about the emerging growth companys executive compensation arrangements; and |
|
No non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements. |
We have already taken advantage of these reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus, which are also available to us as a smaller reporting company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided above and therefore our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
For more details regarding this exemption, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies.

The shares of our common stock being offered for resale by the selling security holders are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire amount invested in the common stock. Accordingly, prospective investors should carefully consider, along with other matters referred to herein, the following risk factors in evaluating our business before purchasing any Units. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this process before investing in our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Business
OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM HAS EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
The audited financial statements included in the registration statement have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result if we cease to continue as a going concern. We have incurred significant losses since our inception. We have funded these losses primarily through the sale of securities.
Based on our financial history since inception, in their report on the financial statements for the period from March 20, 2013 (inception) to September 30, 2013, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We are a development stage company that has generated no revenue.
There can be no assurance that we will have adequate capital resources to fund planned operations or that any additional funds will be available to us when needed or at all, or, if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by us. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our operations, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern.
WE HAVE LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND FACE MANY OF THE RISKS AND DIFFICULTIES FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED BY DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY.
The Company was formed on March 20, 2013. Prior to that time, the Company had no operations upon which an evaluation of the Company and its prospects could be based. There can be no assurance that management of the Company will be successful in completing the Companys development of an interactive website and service, implementing the corporate infrastructure to support operations at the levels called for by the Companys business plan, devise a marketing plan to successfully reach students interested in learning in becoming certified in various computer programming languages who will purchase services marketed by the Company or that the Company will generate sufficient revenues to meet its expenses or to achieve or maintain profitability.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO RAISE ENOUGH CAPITAL THROUGH THIS OFFERING TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND YOU COULD LOSE ALL OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
We largely depend on additional capital through this Offering to implement our business plan and support our operations. If the Company is not successful in obtaining subscriptions for this Offering, our management will have to seek other sources for funding. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this Offering. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
If we are unable to raise capital as needed, we are required to reduce the scope of our business development activities, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results, or cease our operations entirely, in which case, you will lose all your investment.
9
If we raise additional capital subsequent to this Offering through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, we may also have to issue securities that may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our Common Stock. In the event we seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or its equivalents, this will result in increased interest expense.
WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO BE A PUBLIC COMPANY TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ABSORB SUCH COSTS.
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect these costs to be approximately $25,000 per year. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. In addition, we may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public company which will negatively affect our business operations.
WE ARE AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY, AND ANY DECISION ON OUR PART TO COMPLY ONLY WITH CERTAIN REDUCED DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES COULD MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS.
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we expect and fully intend to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to opt in to the extended transition period for complying with the revised accounting standards. We have elected to rely on these exemptions and reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and expect to continue to do so.
Since we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act, this election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
10
Our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act. As a result, we will not be subject to the federal proxy rules and our directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial holders will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act may be suspended automatically if we have fewer than 300 shareholders of record on the first day of our fiscal year. Our common shares are not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and we do not intend to register our common shares under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future, provided that, we will register our common shares under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of our fiscal year, more than either (i) 2000 persons; or (ii) 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors, in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. As a result, although, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we will be required to file annual, quarterly, and current reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, we will not be subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, which, among other things, prohibits companies that have securities registered under the Exchange Act from soliciting proxies or consents from shareholders without furnishing to shareholders and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a proxy statement and form of proxy complying with the proxy rules. In addition, so long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our directors and executive officers and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding common shares will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires executive officers and directs, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Such information about our directors, executive officers, and beneficial holders will only be available through this (and any subsequent) registration statement, and periodic reports we file thereunder. Furthermore, so long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be automatically suspended if, on the first day of any fiscal year (other than a fiscal year in which a registration statement under the Securities Act has gone effective), we have fewer than 300 shareholders of record. This suspension is automatic and does not require any filing with the SEC. In such an event, we may cease providing periodic reports and current or periodic information, including operational and financial information, may not be available with respect to our results of operations.
BECAUSE OUR COMMON STOCK IS NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, OUR REPORTING OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 15(D) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, MAY BE SUSPENDED AUTOMATICALLY IF WE HAVE FEWER THAN 300 SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD ON THE FIRST DAY OF OUR FISCAL YEAR.
Our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, and we do not intend to register our common stock under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future (provided that, we will register our common stock under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of our fiscal year, $10,000,000 in total assets and either more than 2,000 shareholders of record or 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors (as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission), in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act). As long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, our obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be automatically suspended if, on the first day of any fiscal year (other than a fiscal year in which a registration statement under the Securities Act has gone effective), we have fewer than 300 shareholders of record. This suspension is automatic and does not require any filing with the SEC. In such an event, we may cease providing periodic reports and current or periodic information, including operational and financial information, may not be available with respect to our results of operations.
OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS PROVIDE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AT OUR EXPENSE AND LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY WHICH MAY RESULT IN A MAJOR COST TO US AND HURT THE INTERESTS OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS BECAUSE CORPORATE RESOURCES MAY BE EXPENDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS.
The Companys Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of the directors of the Company for monetary damages to the fullest extent possible under the laws of the State of Delaware or other applicable law. These provisions eliminate the liability of directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of any violation of a director of his fiduciary duty of due care. Under Delaware law, however, such provisions do not eliminate the personal liability of a director for (i) breach of the directors duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) payment of dividends or repurchases of stock other than from lawfully available funds, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit. These provisions do not affect a directors liabilities under the federal securities laws or the recovery of damages by third parties.
11
The rules and regulations of the SEC require a public company to prepare and file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, which will require that the Company engage legal, accounting, auditing and other professional services. The engagement of such services is costly. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) requires, among other things, that we design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls and procedures over financial reporting. The costs of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the limited technically qualified personnel we have may make it difficult for us to design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. In the event that we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports or report fraud, which may harm our overall financial condition and result in loss of investor confidence and a decline in our share price.
As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Despite recent reforms made possible by the JOBS Act, compliance with these rules and regulations will nonetheless increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an emerging growth company. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and operating results.
We are working with our legal, independent accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a public company. These areas include corporate governance, corporate control, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas. However, we anticipate that the expenses that will be required in order to adequately prepare for being a public company could be material. We estimate that the aggregate cost of increased legal services; accounting and audit functions; personnel, such as a chief financial officer familiar with the obligations of public company reporting; consultants to design and implement internal controls; and financial printing alone will be a few hundred thousand dollars per year and could be several hundred thousand dollars per year. In addition, if and when we retain independent directors and/or additional members of senior management, we may incur additional expenses related to director compensation and/or premiums for directors and officers liability insurance, the costs of which we cannot estimate at this time. We may also incur additional expenses associated with investor relations and similar functions, the cost of which we also cannot estimate at this time. However, these additional expenses individually, or in the aggregate, may also be material.
In addition, being a public company could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors and officers liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.
The increased costs associated with operating as a public company may decrease our net income or increase our net loss, and may cause us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services to offset the effect of such increased costs. Additionally, if these requirements divert our managements attention from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO IMPLEMENT THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT IN A TIMELY MANNER OR WITH ADEQUATE COMPLIANCE, WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO SANCTIONS BY REGULATORY AUTHORITIES.
We cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of our evaluation, testing and remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations. If we are not able to implement the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we may be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC or a stock exchange on which our securities may be listed in the future. Any such action could adversely affect our financial results or investors confidence in us and could cause our stock price to fall. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal controls that are deemed to be material weaknesses, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed in the future, or other regulatory authorities, which would entail expenditure of additional financial and management resources and could materially adversely affect our stock price. Inferior internal controls could also cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on our stock price.
To date, we have not evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, or the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, and we will not be required to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting or disclose the results of such evaluation until the filing of our second annual report. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy in which event an investor could lose his entire investment in our company.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF A PUBLIC MARKET OR THAT OUR COMMON STOCK WILL EVER TRADE ON A RECOGNIZED EXCHANGE. THEREFORE, YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO LIQUIDATE YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.
There is no established public trading market for our Common Stock and there can be no assurance that one will ever develop. Market liquidity will depend on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result, holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our securities should they to sell securities held by them. Consequently, our securities should be purchased only by investors having no need for liquidity in their investment and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period of time.
WE MAY NEVER PAY ANY DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS.
We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future, but will review this policy as circumstances dictate.
THE OFFERING PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK WAS DETERMINED BASED ON THE PRICE OF OUR PRIVATE OFFERING, AND THEREFORE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN INDICATOR OF THE FUTURE MARKET PRICE OF THE SECURITIES. THEREFORE, THE OFFERING PRICE BEARS NO RELATIONSHIP TO OUR ACTUAL VALUE, AND MAY MAKE OUR SHARES DIFFICULT TO SELL.
Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $0.0166 per share for the shares of common stock was determined based on the price of our private offering. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of our company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A PENNY STOCK, WHICH MAY BE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY, SO YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES.
We may be subject now and in the future to the SECs penny stock rules if our shares of Common Stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers confirmation.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our Common Stock. As long as our shares of Common Stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of Common Stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information contained in this report, including in the documents incorporated by reference into this report, includes some statement that are not purely historical and that are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our and their managements expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including our financial condition, results of operations. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words anticipates, believes, continue, could, estimates, expects, intends, may, might, plans, possible, potential, predicts, projects, seeks, should, would and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and the potential effects on the parties and the transaction. There can be no assurance that future developments actually affecting us will be those anticipated. These that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including the following forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the parties control) or other assumptions.
Use of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling security holders. All of the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock will go to the selling security holders as described below in the sections entitled Selling Security Holders and Plan of Distribution. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the common stock for the selling security holders.
Determination of Offering Price
Since our common stock is not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of the shares of common stock was determined by the price of the common stock that was sold to our security holders pursuant to an exemption under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
The offering price of the shares of our common stock does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market.
Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a quotation on the OTCBB concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.
In addition, there is no assurance that our common stock will trade at market prices in excess of the initial offering price as prices for the common stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.
Dilution
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders as provided in the Selling Security Holders section is common stock that is currently issued. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
14
Selling Security Holders
The common shares being offered for resale by the selling security holders consist of 2,040,000 shares of our common stock held by 34 shareholders. Such shareholders include the holders of 2,040,000 shares sold in our private offering pursuant to Regulation S sold through September 2013 at an offering price of $0.0166 per share.
The following table sets forth the names of the selling security holders, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling stockholders as of September 12, 2013 and the number of shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders. The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling stockholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. However, the selling stockholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are the selling stockholders obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus. All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling stockholders.

Plan of Distribution
The selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $0.0166 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTCBB and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Prior to being quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, shareholders may sell their shares in private transactions to other individuals. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a quotation on the OTCBB concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved. However, sales by selling security holder must be made at the fixed price of $0.0166 until a market develops for the stock.
Once a market has developed for our common stock, the shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders, who may be deemed to be underwriters, directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the following methods:
- |
ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales, |
- |
transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market where our common stock is trading, market where our common stock is trading, |
- |
through direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents, |
- |
through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed of otherwise), or exchange listed or otherwise), or |
- |
any combination of the foregoing. |
In addition, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales, if short sales were permitted, of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus. None of the selling security holders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker dealers.
We will advise the selling security holders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling security holders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling security holders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling security holders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Brokers, dealers, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). Neither the selling stockholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the selling security holders pursuant to this prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees, and such expenses are estimated to be approximately $32,000.

In addition to the computer programming languages taught, we will also offer special online courses on android and iphone app development for a one-time fee of $299.99.
Target Market
We plan to target the general public as the video lessons will be suitable for all levels of programming, from beginners to advanced programmers.

REPORT OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors of:
Swift Start Corp.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Swift Start Corp. (a Delaware corporation in the development stage) as of September 30, 2013 and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the period from inception (March 20, 2013) through September 30, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Swift Start Corp. as of September 30, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows from inception (March 20, 2013) through September 30, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, and has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. As such, it has incurred an operating loss since inception. Further, as of September 30, 2013, the cash resources of the Company were insufficient to meet its planned business objectives. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plan regarding these matters is also described in Note 6 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SWIFT START CORP
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
F-5
SWIFT START CORP
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
NOTE 1. GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Swift Start Corp (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on March 20, 2013. The Company began limited operations on May 30, 2013, is considered a development stage company and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.
The Company is engaged in the internet based education business.
As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses the retained earnings or deficit accumulated during the development stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
Basis of Accounting
The Companys financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 fiscal year end.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
When required, the Company records a liability for unrecognized tax positions, defined as the aggregate tax effect of differences between positions taken on tax returns and the benefits recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. No tax benefits are recognized for positions that do not meet this threshold. The Company has no uncertain tax positions that require the Company to record a liability. The federal income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they are filed.
The Company recognizes penalties and interest associated with tax matters as part of the income tax provision and includes accrued interest and penalties with the related tax liability in the balance sheet. The Company had no accrued penalties and interest as of September 30, 2013.
Loss per Share
The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing our net income available to common shareholders by the number of common shares during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing our net income loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The Company has not issued any potentially dilutive debt or equity securities.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
F-6
The Company uses the liability method , where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had a deferred tax asset of approximately $6,527 related to net operating losses. A valuation allowance was recorded against the tax asset to reduce the carrying value to zero.
NOTE 4. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Authorized
The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock. All common stock shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.
Issued and Outstanding
On March 20, 2013, the Company issued 7,000,000 shares of common stock to the directors of the Company for services. The stock was valued at par value.
From June 4, 2013 through September 12, 2013, the Company accepted subscriptions to issue 2,040,000 shares of common stock for proceeds of $34,000.
NOTE 5. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
NOTE 6. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has no revenues. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management is planning to raise funds through debt or equity offerings. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
NOTE 7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On March 20, 2013, the Company issued 7,000,000 shares of common stock to the directors of the Company for services. The stock was valued at par value.
NOTE 8 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2013 through the date of this filing.
F-7
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS
The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.
Plan of Operations
We have commenced limited operations and our proposed business plan is not yet fully operational. We are finalizing our business plan and working to obtain our first client but have not yet engaged any clients.
Swift Start Corp. is in the business of providing online courses for computer programming. In November 2013, we plan to begin providing online private lessons before the permanent website is completed. This will allow us to begin to establish a customer base immediately. In the next four to six months, we plan to have the permanent website up and running. In the next twelve months, we hope to have created enough revenue to start a major ad campaign to promote our website and service.
We are a development stage company, and to date, our development efforts have been focused primarily on the development and marketing of our business model. In addition, to date we have limited operating history for investors to evaluate the potential of our business development. As such, we have not built our customer base or our brand name. In addition, our sources of cash are not adequate for the next 12 months of operations. If we are unable to raise additional cash, we will either have to suspend or cease our expansion plans entirely.
Limited Operating History
We have generated no independent financial history and have not previously demonstrated that we will be able to expand our business. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2013 we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
28
Basis of Presentation and Organization
Swift Start Corp. (Swift Start or the Company) is a Delaware corporation in the development stage and has not commenced operations. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 20, 2013. The Company plans to develop a website that will offer comprehensive online computer programming courses for anyone with any level of computer programming knowledge, from beginners to experts. The website will offer courses for all major computer programming languages, such as: #, .NET, C++, C, Objective C, Java, JavaScript, HTML, ASP, XML, JQuery, PHP, Flash, Python, SQL, PERL, VB.NET, AJAX, and CSS Microsoft Office Products. The video courses will be developed and taught by seasoned teachers with extensive experience in the computer programming fields.
Development Stage
As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the development stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in the development stage and has yet to realize revenues from operations. Once the Company has commenced operations, it will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.
Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the period from March 20, 2013 to September 30, 2013.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result, the Company has applied a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. The guidance only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States. All of the Companys tax years since inception remain subject to examination by Federal and state jurisdictions.
The Company classifies penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. As of September 30, 2013, the carrying value of loans from the CEO approximated fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.
Estimates
The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses for the period from March 20, 2013 (inception) through September 30, 2013 . Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management .
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

Expenses
Expenses for the period from March 20, 2013 (inception) to September 30, 2013 totaled $19,197. The majority of the expenses incurred during the period consisted of corporate filings and start-up costs.
Net Loss
As a result of the factors described above, our net loss for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 was $19,197.
30
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We have been funding our operations through the sale of our common stock.
Our primary uses of cash have been for salaries and fees paid to third parties for the development of our products. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business and establishing brand portfolios. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:
|
¨ |
An increase in working capital requirements to finance additional product development, |
|
¨ |
Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows, |
|
¨ |
Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for existing and new brands as the company expands within existing markets or enters new markets, |
|
¨ |
The cost of being a public company, and |
|
¨ |
Capital expenditures to add additional technology. |
Our net revenues are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. At September 30, 2013, we had a cash balance of $15,503 and working capital of $15,503. Since inception, we have raised $34,000. We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. We may be required to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of our operations. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations, without further financing, for up to 12 months. Other than working capital, we presently have no other alternative source of working capital. We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. We do not anticipate we will be profitable in 2013. Therefore our future operations will be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.
We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly.
31
Our business plan within 12 months is outlined below:
In November 2013, we plan to begin providing online private lessons before the permanent website is completed. This will allow us to begin to establish a customer base immediately before our website is completed.
In the next four to six months, we plan to have our permanent website, www.swiftstart.net, up and running and fully operational. We will advertise our business on the Internet and in major newspapers. We also intend to hire two or three customer service agents who will act as sales representatives to answer phone call inquiries as well as consult clients on the different membership plans we offer.
In the next seven to nine months, we plan to upgrade our website by adding a social networking component, including live chat rooms for members to ask and answer each others questions, as well as provide insight on their progress in the courses they are taking.
In the next twelve months, we hope to have created enough revenue to initiate a nationwide advertising campaign to promote our website and service.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any contractual obligations at this time.

Item 12A. Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification of Securities Act Liabilities
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware corporate law and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person 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 registered, 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 it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his/her position, if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he/she is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him/her against all expenses incurred, including attorneys fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is theretofore unenforceable.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 20, 2013. In connection with incorporation, we issued 7,000,000 shares of common stock to our founder for services rendered. These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act) and were issued as founders shares. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a public offering as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a public offering. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.
In September 2013, we sold through a Regulation S offering a total of 2,040,000 shares of common stock to 34 investors, at a price per share of $0.0166 for an aggregate offering price of $34,000. The Common Stock issued in this offering was issued in a transaction not involving a public offering in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933.
Please note that all shares purchased in the Regulation S offering completed in September 2013 were restricted in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, each of these shareholders are located outside the United States and each of the sales occurred outside the United States.

Item 17. Undertakings
(A) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
i. To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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 registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(5) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

ARTICLE I
STOCKHOLDERS
1. CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING STOCK. Certificates representing stock in
the corporation shall be signed by, or in the name of, the corporation by the Chairperson or Vice-
Chairperson of the Board of Directors, if any, or by the Chief Executive Officer or a Vice-Chief
Executive Officer and by the Chief Financial Officer or an Assistant Financial Officer or the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation. Any or all the signatures on any such
certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or
whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate 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 such person were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.
Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock
or more than one series of any class of stock, and whenever the corporation shall issue any shares of
its stock as partly paid stock, the certificates representing shares of any such class or series or of any
such partly paid stock shall set forth thereon the statements prescribed by the General Corporation
Law. Any restrictions on the transfer or registration of transfer of any shares of stock of any class
or series shall be noted conspicuously on the certificate representing such shares.
The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in place
of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, and the
Board of Directors may require the owner of the lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, or such
owner's legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation
against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of
any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate or uncertificated shares.
2. UNCERTIFICATED SHARES. Subject to any conditions imposed by the
General Corporation Law, 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 the stock of the corporation shall be
uncertificated shares. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of any uncertificated
shares, the corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof any written notice prescribed by
the General Corporation Law.
3. FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS. The corporation may, but shall not be
required to, issue fractions of a share. If the corporation does not issue fractions of a share, it shall
(1) arrange for the disposition of fractional interests by those entitled thereto, (2) pay in cash the fair
value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such fractions are
determined, or (3) issue scrip or warrants in registered form (either represented by a certificate or
uncertificated) or bearer form (represented by a certificate) which shall entitle the holder to receive
a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrants aggregating a full share. A certificate for a
fractional share or an uncertificated fractional share shall, but scrip or warrants shall not unless
otherwise provided therein, entitle the holder to exercise voting rights, to receive dividends thereon,
and to participate in any of the assets of the corporation in the event of liquidation. The Board of
Directors may cause scrip or warrants to be issued subject to the conditions that they shall become
void if not exchanged for certificates representing the full shares or uncertificated full shares before
a specified date, or subject to the conditions that the shares for which scrip or warrants are
exchangeable may be sold by the corporation and the proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of
scrip or warrants, or subject to any other conditions which the Board of Directors may impose.
4. STOCK TRANSFERS. Upon compliance with provisions restricting the transfer
or registration of transfer of shares of stock, if any, transfers or registration of transfers of shares of
stock of the corporation shall be made only on the stock ledger of the corporation by the registered
holder thereof, or by the registered holder's attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly
executed and filed with the Secretary of the corporation or with a transfer agent or a registrar, if any,
and, in the case of shares represented by certificates, on surrender of the certificate or certificates for
such shares of stock properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes due thereon.
5. RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDERS. In order that the corporation may
determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any
adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not
precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of
Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date
of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for
determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the
close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived,
at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A
determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders
shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may
fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. In order that the corporation may determine the
stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of
Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be
more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the
Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for
determining the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting,
when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the General Corporation Law, shall be
the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be
taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its principal place of business or an officer or
agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of
stockholders are recorded. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior
action by the Board of Directors is required by the General Corporation Law, the record date for
determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall
be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking
such prior action. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive
payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled
to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock, or for the purpose
of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not
precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date
shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for
determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which
the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
6. MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS. As used herein in respect of the right to
notice of a meeting of stockholders or a waiver thereof or to participate or vote thereat or to consent
or dissent in writing in lieu of a meeting, as the case may be, the term "share" or "shares" or "share
of stock" or "shares of stock" or "stockholder" or "stockholders" refers to an outstanding share or
shares of stock and to a holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock when the
corporation is authorized to issue only one class of shares of stock, and said reference is also
intended to include any outstanding share or shares of stock and any holder or holders of record of
outstanding shares of stock of any class upon which or upon whom the certificate of incorporation
confers such rights where there are two or more classes or series of shares of stock or upon which
or upon whom the General Corporation Law confers such rights notwithstanding that the certificate
of incorporation may provide for more than one class or series of shares of stock, one or more of
which are limited or denied such rights thereunder; provided, however, that no such right shall vest
in the event of an increase or a decrease in the authorized number of shares of stock of any class or
series which is otherwise denied voting rights under the provisions of the certificate of
incorporation, except as any provision of law may otherwise require.
7. STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS.
- TIME. The annual meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed, from
time to time, by the directors, provided, that the first annual meeting shall be held on a date within
thirteen months after the organization of the corporation, and each successive annual meeting shall
be held on a date within thirteen months after the date of the preceding annual meeting. A special
meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed by the directors.
- PLACE. Annual meetings and special meetings may be held at such place, either
within or without the State of Delaware, as the directors may, from time to time, fix. Whenever the
directors shall fail to fix such place, the meeting shall be held at the registered office of the
corporation in the State of Delaware. The board of directors may also, in its sole discretion,
determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means
of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation
Law. If a meeting by remote communication is authorized by the board of directors in its sole
discretion, and subject to guidelines and procedures as the board of directors may adopt,
stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means
of remote communication participate in a meeting of stockholders and be deemed present in person
and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or
solely by means of remote communication, provided that (a) the corporation shall implement
reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting
by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (b) the corporation shall
implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable
opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders,
including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently
with such proceedings, and (c) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the
meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be
maintained by the corporation.
- CALL. Annual meetings and special meetings may be called by the directors or by
any officer instructed by the directors to call the meeting.
- NOTICE OR WAIVER OF NOTICE. Written notice of all meetings shall be
given, which shall state the place, if any, date, and hour of the meeting, the means of remote
communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in
person and vote at such meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for
which the meeting is called. The notice of an annual meeting shall state that the meeting is called
for the election of directors and for the transaction of other business which may properly come
before the meeting, and shall (if any other action which could be taken at a special meeting is to be
taken at such annual meeting) state the purpose or purposes. The notice of any meeting shall also
include, or be accompanied by, any additional statements, information, or documents prescribed by
the General Corporation Law. Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, the
written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before
the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, notice is
given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such
stockholder = s address as it appears on the records of the corporation. If a meeting is adjourned to
another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any,
thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders
may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the
meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact
any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. 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
meeting. Whenever notice is required to be given under the Delaware General Corporation Law,
certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a written waiver signed by the person entitled to notice, or a
waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time
stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting of
stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder
attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the
business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders
need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so
required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
- STOCKHOLDER LIST. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the
corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a
complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and
showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each
stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane
to the meeting for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting on a reasonably accessible
electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided
with the notice of the meeting or during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of
the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an
electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is
available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list
shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and
may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of
remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during
the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information
required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. The stock ledger shall
be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list
required by this section or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any
meeting of stockholders.
- CONDUCT OF MEETING. Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over
by one of the following officers in the order of seniority and if present and acting - the Chairperson
of the Board, if any, the Vice-Chairperson of the Board, if any, the Chief Executive Officer, a Vice-
Chief Executive Officer, or, if none of the foregoing is in office and present and acting, by a
chairperson to be chosen by the stockholders. The Secretary of the corporation, or in such
Secretary's absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of every meeting, but if neither the
Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint a
secretary of the meeting.
- PROXY REPRESENTATION. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of
stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may
authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be
voted or acted upon after 3 years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A
stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder
as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder = s authorized
officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person = s signature to be
affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile
signature. A stockholder may also authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder
as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of
electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation
firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the
holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or
other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from
which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was
authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that such telegrams, cablegrams or other
electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons
making the determination shall specify the information upon which they relied. Any copy,
facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created
pursuant to Section 212(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law may be substituted or used in
lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or
transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other
reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. A duly
executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is
coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made
irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock
itself or an interest in the corporation generally.
- INSPECTORS. The directors, in advance of any meeting, may, but need not,
appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If an
inspector or inspectors are not appointed, the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not,
appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector fails to
appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the directors in advance of the
meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, if any, before entering
upon the discharge of duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties
of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector's
ability. The inspectors, 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, or consents, hear and determine all
challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes,
ballots, or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or
vote with fairness to all stockholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting, the
inspector or inspectors, if any, shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question, or matter
determined by such inspector or inspectors and execute a certificate of any fact found by such
inspector or inspectors. Except as may otherwise be required by subsection (e) of Section 231 of
the General Corporation Law, the provisions of that Section shall not apply to the corporation.
- QUORUM. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock shall
constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders for the transaction of any business. The
stockholders present may adjourn the meeting despite the absence of a quorum.
- VOTING. Each share of stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote.
Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by
proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Any other action shall be
authorized by a majority of the votes cast except where the General Corporation Law prescribes a
different percentage of votes and/or a different exercise of voting power, and except as may be
otherwise prescribed by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and these Bylaws. In the
election of directors, and for any other action, voting need not be by ballot.
8. STOCKHOLDER ACTION WITHOUT MEETINGS. Except as any provision
of the General Corporation Law may otherwise require, any action required by the General
Corporation Law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or any action which
may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting,
without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of
votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares
entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. A telegram, cablegram or other electronic
transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or
by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be
written, signed and dated for the purposes of this section, provided that any such telegram,
cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which
the corporation can determine that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was
transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the
stockholder or proxyholder and the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized
person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on
which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the
date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other
electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in
paper form and until such paper shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its principal
place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which the
proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded, to the extent and in the manner provided by
resolution of the board of directors of the corporation..
Any copy, facsimile or other reliable
reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for
any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy,
facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.
Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous
written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Action
taken pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to the provisions of Section 228 of the General
Corporation Law.
ARTICLE II
DIRECTORS
1. FUNCTIONS AND DEFINITION. The business and affairs of the corporation
shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors of the corporation. The Board
of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of the members thereof. The use of the
phrase "whole board" herein refers to the total number of directors which the corporation would
have if there were no vacancies.
2. QUALIFICATIONS AND NUMBER. A director need not be a stockholder, a
citizen of the United States, or a resident of the State of Delaware. The initial Board of Directors
shall consist of two (2) persons. Thereafter the number of directors constituting the whole board
shall be at least one. Subject to the foregoing limitation and except for the first Board of Directors,
such number may be fixed from time to time by action of the stockholders or of the directors. The
number of directors may be increased or decreased by action of the stockholders or of the directors.
3. ELECTION AND TERM. The first Board of Directors, unless the members
thereof shall have been named in the certificate of incorporation, shall be elected by the
incorporator or incorporators and shall hold office until their successors are elected and qualified or
until their earlier resignation or removal. Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in
writing or by electronic transmission to the corporation. Thereafter, directors who are elected at an
annual meeting of stockholders, and directors who are elected in the interim to fill vacancies and
newly created directorships, shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until
their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Except as the
General Corporation Law may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of
stockholders or of special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or for the
removal of one or more directors and for the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly
created directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies
resulting from the removal of directors for cause or without cause, may be filled by the vote of a
majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole
remaining director.
4. MEETINGS.
- TIME. Meetings shall be held at such time as the Board shall fix, except that the
first meeting of a newly elected Board shall be held as soon after its election as the directors may
conveniently assemble.
- PLACE. Meetings shall be held at such place within or without the State of
Delaware as shall be fixed by the Board.
- CALL. No call shall be required for regular meetings for which the time and place
have been fixed. Special meetings may be called by or at the direction of the Chairperson of the
Board, if any, the Vice-Chairperson of the Board, if any, of the Chief Executive Officer, or of a
majority of the directors in office.
- NOTICE OR ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE WAIVER. No notice shall be
required for regular meetings for which the time and place have been fixed. Written, oral, or any
other mode of notice of the time and place shall be given for special meetings in sufficient time for
the convenient assembly of the directors thereat. Whenever notice is required to be given under the
Delaware General Corporation Law, certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a written waiver signed
by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to
notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice.
Attendance of any such person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting,
except when such person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of
the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special
meeting of the directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice.
- QUORUM AND ACTION. A majority of the whole Board shall constitute a
quorum except when a vacancy or vacancies prevents such majority, whereupon a majority of the
directors in office shall constitute a quorum, provided, that such majority shall constitute at least
one-third of the whole Board. A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum is
present, may adjourn a meeting to another time and place. Except as herein otherwise provided,
and except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, the vote of the majority of the
directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board. The
quorum and voting provisions herein stated shall not be construed as conflicting with any
provisions of the General Corporation Law and these Bylaws which govern a meeting of directors
held to fill vacancies and newly created directorships in the Board or action of disinterested
directors.
Any member or members of the Board of Directors or of any committee designated
by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board, or any such committee, as the case may be,
by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all
persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.
- CHAIRPERSON OF THE MEETING. The Chairperson of the Board, if any and
if present and acting, shall preside at all meetings. Otherwise, the Vice-Chairperson of the Board, if
any and if present and acting, or the Chief Executive Officer, if present and acting, or any other
director chosen by the Board, shall preside.
5. REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS. Except as may otherwise be provided by the
General Corporation Law, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or
without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of
