The aggregate number of shares of stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is 600,000,000 registered shares of capital stock, each with a par value of US$0.001 per share, of which (i) 500,000,000 shares shall be registered shares of common stock, par value US$0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”), and (ii) 100,000,000 shares shall be registered shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of US$0.001 (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series or classes. The Board of Directors is vested with authority, with respect to any series or class of Preferred Shares, to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations and the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon of each such class or series, including, without limitation, (1) the designation of the series or class; (2) the number of shares in the series or class, which the Board of Directors may, except where otherwise provided in the Preferred Shares designation, to the extent permitted by applicable law, increase or decrease, but not below the number of shares then outstanding; (3) whether dividends, if any, will be cumulative or non-cumulative and the dividend rate of the series or class; (4) the dates at which dividends, if any, will be payable; (5) the redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series or class; (6) the terms and amounts of any sinking fund provided for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series or class; (7) the amounts payable on shares of the series or class in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation; (8) whether the shares of the series or class will be convertible into shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of the Corporation or any other entity, and, if so, the specification of the other class or series or other security, the conversion price or prices or rate or rates, any rate adjustments, the date or dates as of which the shares will be convertible and all other terms and conditions upon which the conversion may be made; (9) conditions or restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or class or of any other class or series of the Preferred Shares; (10) the voting rights, if any, of the holders of the series or class; and (11) the rights to elect and remove one or more directors of the Corporation.

Except as provided in the BCA, any action required or permitted by the BCA to be taken at a meeting of shareholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares 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. An electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a shareholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a shareholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written and signed for the purposes of this Article K, provided that any such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (a) that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the shareholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the shareholder or proxyholder and (b) the date on which such shareholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such electronic transmission.
