PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To be held on January 15, 2008

ABOUT THE MEETING

This proxy statement is furnished to stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors of PURE CYCLE CORPORATION (the “Company”) for use at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Meeting”) to be held at 1550 Seventeenth Street, Suite 500, Denver, Colorado 80202, at the offices of Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP on January 15, 2008 at 2 p.m. Mountain Time or at any adjournment thereof.

Proxies were first mailed to stockholders on or about December 14, 2007, and will be solicited primarily by mail. The cost of soliciting proxies is being paid by the Company. In addition to the mailings, the Company’s officers, directors and other regular employees may, without additional compensation, solicit proxies personally or by other appropriate means.

What is the purpose of the Meeting?

At the Meeting, stockholders are asked to act upon the matters outlined above in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and as described in this proxy statement. The matters to be considered are (i) the election of directors, (ii) the proposal to change the state of incorporation of the Company from Delaware to Colorado (the “reincorporation proposal”), (iii) the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2008, and (iv) such other matters as may properly come before the Meeting. Additionally, management will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Who is entitled to vote?

Only stockholders of record as of 5 p.m. Mountain Time on December 6, 2007 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to vote on matters presented at the Meeting. On December 6, 2007, there are 20,206,566 shares of the Company’s 1/3 of $.01 par value common stock (“common stock”) issued and outstanding.

What are my voting rights?

If you were a stockholder on December 6, 2007, you will be entitled to vote all of the shares that you held on that date at the Meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof. Whether you hold shares directly as the stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the Meeting.

Each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will be entitled to one vote on each matter acted upon. There is no cumulative voting.

How do I vote?

If you are the stockholder of record, you may vote your shares by completing, signing and dating the enclosed proxy card and then mailing it to the Company’s transfer agent in the pre-addressed envelope provided. You may also vote your shares by phone by calling the Company’s transfer agent at the number listed on the proxy card. If your shares are held beneficially in street name, you may vote your shares by following the instructions provided by your broker.

Can I change or revoke my vote?

A proxy may be revoked by a stockholder any time prior to the exercise thereof by written notice to the Secretary of the Company, by submission of another proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

Is my vote confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed within the Company or to third parties, except: (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. Occasionally stockholders provide written comments on their proxy cards, which are forwarded to management of the Company.

What is a quorum?

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock constitutes a quorum at the Meeting for the election of directors and for the other proposals. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at Meeting.

A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

How many votes are required to approve the proposals?

•		Election of Directors — The election of directors requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote for the election of directors. This means that the nominees receiving the most votes from those eligible to vote will be elected. You may vote “FOR” all of the nominees or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more of the nominees; however, a “withheld” vote or a broker non-vote (defined above) will have no effect on the outcome of the election.
•		Reincorporation of the Company in Colorado — Approval of proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting. With respect to the reincorporation proposal, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or you may “ABSTAIN.” If you hold your shares through a nominee such as a broker or bank (i.e., in street name), you must provide your broker with instructions on how to vote the street name shares. Under the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), if your broker holds your shares in its name, your broker may not vote your shares on the reincorporation proposal absent instruction from you. Consequently, without your voting instruction on this proposal, a broker non-vote will occur. An abstention, a failure to vote, and a failure to instruct your broker how to vote shares held for you in your broker’s name will each have the same effect as a vote against the reincorporation proposal.
•		Ratification of Auditors and Other Matters — An affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of common stock represented and entitled to vote at the Meeting, is necessary for the approval of proposal 3, the ratification of the appointment of independent auditors, and other matters. For proposal 3 and any other business matters to be voted on, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or you may “ABSTAIN.” For the purpose of determining whether such a proposal has received a majority vote, abstentions will be included in the vote totals. An abstention has the same effect as a negative vote. Broker non-votes will not be included in the vote totals and, therefore, will have no effect on the vote.

If no specification is made, then the shares will be voted “FOR” the directors nominated by the board of directors and “FOR” proposals 2 and 3 and otherwise, in accordance with the recommendations of the board of directors.

Does the Company expect there to be any additional matters presented at the Meeting?

Other than the three items of business described in this proxy, the Company is not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy-holders, Mark W. Harding and Harrison H. Augur, have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matter properly presented for a vote at the Meeting. If for any unforeseen reason any of our director nominees are not available for election at the date of the Meeting, the named proxy-holders will vote your shares for such other candidates as may be nominated by the board.

What if multiple stockholders are at the same address?

The Company adopted a procedure approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), called “householding,” which reduces printing and postage costs. Under this procedure, stockholders of record who have the same address and last name will receive one copy of the annual report and proxy statement unless one or more of these stockholders notify the Company that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. Stockholders who do not participate in householding will continue to receive separate copies of the annual report and proxy statement.

If a stockholder of record residing at such an address wishes to receive a separate document in the future, he or she may contact our transfer agent at Computershare Trust Company, Inc., 350 Indiana St., Suite #800, Golden, CO 80401, telephone (303) 262-0600, or write to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s address set forth above. You also may request a copy of this annual report and proxy material by notifying us at the same address or phone number, and we will undertake to deliver such documents promptly. Stockholders of record receiving multiple copies of the annual report and proxy statement can request householding by contacting us in the same manner. If shares are owned through a bank, broker or other nominee, the holder may request householding by contacting the nominee.

When will the results of the voting being announced?

The Company intends to announce preliminary results at the Meeting and will publish final results in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ending February 28, 2008.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Philosophy

The Company’s executive compensation program is administered by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. The Compensation Committee is composed of Messrs. Middlemas, Augur and Guido, three non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance and compensation levels for the executive officers and determines equity grants under the 2004 Incentive Plan. The executive officers may provide information to the committee regarding their compensation; however, the Compensation Committee makes the final determination on executive compensation. Final compensation determinations, including equity awards, are generally made in August at the end of the Company’s fiscal year end. The following outlines the philosophy and objectives of the Company’s compensation plans.

Q.		What are the objectives of the Company’s Compensation Committee?
A.		The objectives of the Compensation Committee are to correlate executive compensation with the Company’s business objectives and performance and to enable the Company to attract, retain and reward executive officers who contribute to its long-term success.
Q.		What is the Company’s compensation plan designed to do?
A.		The Company’s compensation plan is designed to attract, retain and motivate high quality executive talent critical to the Company’s success. The compensation plan is designed to reward the executive officers of the Company with competitive total pay opportunities through a compensation mix that emphasizes competitive cash and non-cash incentives and merit-based salary increases, while de-emphasizing entitlements and perquisites. The compensation plan is designed to create a mutuality of interest between executives and stockholders through equity ownership programs and to focus the executive’s attention on overall corporate objectives, in addition to the executive’s personal objectives.
Q.		What are the goals of the Compensation Committee?
A.		The goals of the Compensation Committee are to provide a total compensation package that considers the compensation practices of companies with which the Company competes, provides variable compensation that is linked to achievement of financial and individual performance goals, and aligns the interests of the executive officer and employees with those of the stockholders of the Company by providing them with an equity ownership in the Company. Compensation is designed to fall within the central tendency of the range of that paid to comparable executives in corporations of similar size and in like industry.
Q.		What are the basic elements of the executive officers’ pay and how do those fit into the Company’s compensation plan?
A.		Generally each executive officer receives a base cash salary, cash bonus, and long-term equity incentives. The mixture of these cash and non-cash compensation items is designed to provide the executive with a competitive total compensation package while not using an excessive amount of the Company’s cash or overly diluting the equity positions of our stockholders. The compensation plan for the President is described below.
Q.		Does the Company offer any benefit plans to its executive officers?
A.		Each executive officer is eligible for the same benefits available to all Company employees. Currently, this includes participation in a tax-qualified 401(k) plan, health and dental plans.
Q.		Does the Company offer any perquisites to its executive officers?
A.		The Company’s executive officers do not receive any perquisites or personal benefits.

Compensation of the Company’s President

The current compensation program for the Company’s President consists of the following:

Base Salary—The Compensation Committee reviewed and approved a salary for the President during the year ending August 31, 2007. His base salary was established by the Compensation Committee based upon competitive compensation data for similarly sized public companies, job responsibilities, level of experience, individual performance and contribution to the business throughout his career with the Company. In making base salary decisions, the committee exercised its discretion and judgment based upon these factors. No specific formula was applied to determine the weight of each factor. While the committee reviewed competitive compensation data, it did not benchmark Mr. Harding’s compensation to that of any other company. Base salary for fiscal year 2007 was unchanged from fiscal 2006; however, Mr. Harding was granted a $50,000 increase in his base salary effective September 1, 2007.

Incentive Bonus—The Compensation Committee approved the President’s bonus. The Compensation Committee’s goal in granting incentive bonuses is to tie a portion of the President’s compensation to the performance of the Company and to the President’s individual contribution to the Company. Mr. Harding’s 2007 bonus was determined by the Compensation Committee based on the performance of Mr. Harding in completing the July 2007 registered equity offering, his continued commitment to the success of the Company and his efforts in marketing the Company to the investing public. Additionally, Mr. Harding’s bonus in 2007 was granted to allow him to exercise his remaining stock options before they expired.

Long-Term Stock Incentives—The Compensation Committee provides the Company’s President with long-term equity incentive compensation through grants of stock options and restricted stock. The goal of the long-term stock incentives is to align the interests of the President with those of the Company’s stockholders and to provide the President with a long-term incentive to manage the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. It is the belief of the Compensation Committee that stock options and restricted stock grants directly motivate an executive to maximize long-term stockholder value. The philosophy of administering the long-term stock incentive plan is to tie the number of stock options and restricted stock awarded to each employee in the plan to the performance of the Company and to the individual contribution of each employee in the plan.

In August 2007, Mr. Harding was granted 34,189 shares of restricted common stock. The amount of restricted stock granted was based on the number of mature shares Mr. Harding utilized to exercise his remaining options. This restricted stock grant was done to maintain Mr. Harding’s level of equity interest in the Company. Further details of the restricted stock are presented in the tables below.

Mr. Harding was not granted any stock options during the year ended August 31, 2007.

Discussion with Respect to Qualifying Compensation for Deductibility

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a limit on tax deductions for annual compensation (other than performance-based compensation) in excess of one million dollars paid by a corporation to its chief executive officer and its other four most highly compensated executive officers. The Company has not established a policy with regard to Section 162(m) of the Code, because the Company does not currently anticipate paying cash compensation in excess of one million dollars per annum to any employee. The Compensation Committee will continue to assess the impact of Section 162(m) on its compensation practices and determine what further action, if any, is appropriate.

Compensation Tables

The following tables set forth information required by Item 402 of Regulation S-K. The Company’s President, Mr. Harding, is the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of the Company. Therefore, all tables contained in this section relate solely to Mr. Harding.

(1)		This represents the fair value of the 34,189 shares of restricted stock granted to the named executive officer on August 27, 2007. The restricted stock is subject to forfeiture if Mr. Harding ceases to be an employee of the Company. The forfeiture restriction lapses with respect to one half of the shares on the first anniversary date of the grant and with respect to the remaining one half on the second anniversary date of the grant. Pursuant to SFAS 123(R), the Company will recognize compensation expense on this grant based on the grant date fair value of the stock. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock was based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The grant date fair value will be amortized to compensation expense over the vesting term of two years, which is the period during which the forfeiture provisions lapse.

Compensation Committee Report¹

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management, and based on the Committee’s review and discussion with management, has recommended to the full board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting.

Respectfully submitted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee of the board of directors is comprised of three directors and operates under a written charter adopted by the board of directors. The charter is reassessed and updated at least annually, or as needed, in accordance with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ. Each of the members of the Audit Committee is a non-employee director and is independent as defined by NASDAQ standards for independence.

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and financial reporting process. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s primary responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes and recommend to the board of directors the selection of the Company’s independent auditors. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed with management the Company’s audited financial statements and discussed not only the acceptability but also the quality of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of the significant judgments and estimates, critical accounting policies and the clarity of disclosures in the audited financial statements prior to issuance.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended August 31, 2007 with GHP Horwath P.C. (“GHP”) and discussed not only the acceptability but also the quality of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of the significant judgments and estimates, critical accounting policies and the clarity of disclosures in the audited financial statements prior to issuance. The Audit Committee meets with GHP, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examination and their evaluation of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The Audit Committee discussed with GHP matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees) to the extent applicable. GHP provided the Audit Committee the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee discussed GHP’s independence with GHP.

Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee recommended to the board of directors that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Agreements with Related Parties

Comprehensive Amendment Agreement No. 1 (“CAA”) — In July 2007, the Company acquired the rights to approximately $10.5 million of CAA interests in exchange for cash payments of approximately $2.6 million, which was raised in the registered equity offering in July 2007. Of the $10.5 million of CAA interests acquired, Mr. Middlemas (by reason of his role as partner of Apex Investment Fund II, L.P.) and Mr. Augur held approximately $7.2 million and $200,000, respectively. Because Mr. Middlemas and Mr. Augur are deemed related parties, the gains of approximately $706,000 and $18,000 recorded on these purchases, respectively, were recorded as capital contributions.

Tap Participation Fee Payments — On August 31, 2006, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Arkansas River Agreement”) with HP A&M, the Company purchased approximately 60,000 acre feet of water rights in the Arkansas River and other assets. As consideration for these assets, the Company issued HP A&M 3,000,000 shares of its common stock. The Company also granted HP A&M the right to receive ten percent (10%) of gross proceeds, or the equivalent thereof, from the sale of the next 40,000 water taps (the “Tap Participation Fee”), which was valued at approximately $45.6 million at the acquisition date. The Tap Participation Fee is due and payable once the Company sells a water tap and receives the consideration due for such water tap. Although the Company did not sell any water taps during the year ended August 31, 2007, the Company did sell 509 Lower Arkansas Water Management Association shares (“LAWMA shares”) in its second fiscal quarter. Pure Cycle received a credit towards the Tap Participation Fee from the sale of the LAWMA shares of approximately $849,700 or 505 taps. See Note 3 — Water, Water Systems and Service Agreements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2007, for more information on the LAWMA shares. As a result of the acquisition, HP A&M owns 14.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. As a member and manager of HP A&M, our director, Mr. Campbell, is also deemed to own 14.8% of the common stock. Each of Mr. Campbell and HP A&M is deemed a related party.

Review and Approval of Related Party Transactions

It is our policy as set forth in writing in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that actual or apparent conflicts of interest are to be avoided if possible and must be disclosed to the board of directors. Pursuant to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, any transaction involving a related party must be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. Additionally, the Audit Committee Charter requires the Audit Committee to review any transaction involving the Company and a related party at least once a year or upon any significant change in the transaction or relationship. The Code also provides non-exclusive examples of conduct which would involve a potential conflict of interest and requires any material transaction involving a potential conflict of interest to be approved in advance by the board.

We annually require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions. Our board of directors and outside legal counsel review all transactions and relationships disclosed in the directors’ and officers’ questionnaire, and the board makes a formal determination regarding each director’s independence. If a director is determined to no longer be independent, such director, if he or she serves on any of the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, or the Compensation Committee, will be removed from such committee prior to (or otherwise will not participate in) any future meeting of the committee. If the transaction presents a conflict of interest, the board of directors will determine the appropriate response.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION AS DIRECTORS OF THE SEVEN PERSONS NOMINATED.

CHANGE OF THE COMPANY’S STATE OF INCORPORATION
FROM DELAWARE TO COLORADO
(Proposal No. 2)

General

The board of directors has unanimously approved and recommends that the stockholders approve the change of the Company’s state of incorporation from Delaware to Colorado. In order to change the Company’s state of incorporation, the Company has formed a wholly owned subsidiary in Colorado named Pure Cycle Water Corporation (“Pure Cycle Colorado”). The Company will change its state of incorporation, i.e. reincorporate, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 30, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between the Company and Pure Cycle Colorado. The Merger Agreement is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

No Change in Business, Jobs, Physical Location, Etc.

After the merger, the Company will be a Colorado corporation. The reincorporation merger will not result in any change in the Company’s name, headquarters, business, jobs, management, location of any of the Company’s offices or facilities, number of employees, taxes payable to the State of Colorado, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs incident to the reincorporation merger). Company management, including all directors and officers, will remain the same in connection with the reincorporation merger and will assume identical positions with Pure Cycle Colorado. Upon the effective time of the reincorporation merger, your shares of the Company’s common stock will be automatically converted into an equal number of shares of common stock in Pure Cycle Colorado, and such shares will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “PCYO.”

Reasons for the Reincorporation

A principle reason for the proposed reincorporation is to save the Company money. Delaware charges an annual franchise tax on the Company which has been as high as $165,000 per year. Colorado does not have a franchise tax. Reincorporating in Colorado will enable the Company to devote more resources to activities directly related to growing the business.

In addition, all of the Company’s business activities and assets are located in Colorado. While Delaware courts have a reputation for their expertise in business law, the Company’s water rights are subject to laws unique to Colorado and the Colorado courts are better positioned to evaluate the decisions the Company makes with respect to its water rights and its water service activities.

It should be noted that in some instances shareholders of a Colorado corporation have greater rights and hence more protection under Colorado law than under Delaware law. After considering the advantages and disadvantages of the reincorporation proposal, the board of directors concluded that the benefits of being incorporated in Colorado outweighed the benefits of remaining in Delaware, including the continuing expense of Delaware’s annual franchise tax.

Pure Cycle Colorado

Pure Cycle Colorado, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated under the Colorado Business Corporation Act (“CBCA” or “Colorado law”) under the name “Pure Cycle Water Corporation” exclusively for the purpose of merging with the Company to change its state of incorporation. The address and phone number of Pure Cycle Colorado’s principal office are the same as those of the Company. Prior to the reincorporation merger, Pure Cycle Colorado will have no material assets or liabilities and will not have carried on any business.

Upon completion of the reincorporation merger, your rights as a shareholder of the Company will be governed by Colorado law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Pure Cycle Colorado (the “Colorado Articles of Incorporation” and the “Colorado Bylaws,” respectively). The Colorado Articles and Colorado Bylaws were modeled on the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws currently in effect (the “Delaware Certificate of Incorporation” and the “Delaware Bylaws,” respectively). The Colorado Articles of Incorporation and the Colorado Bylaws are attached to this proxy statement as Appendices B and C, respectively. There are some differences between the Colorado Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the most significant of which are described below under the heading “Comparison of Stockholder Rights Before and After the Reincorporation.”

The Merger Agreement

The Merger Agreement provides that the Company will merge with and into Pure Cycle Colorado, with Pure Cycle Colorado being the surviving corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Pure Cycle Colorado will change its name to Pure Cycle Corporation and it will own all assets and liabilities of the Company, including obligations under its outstanding contracts. The Company’s existing board of directors and officers will become the board of directors and officers of Pure Cycle Colorado for identical terms of office.

At the effective time of the reincorporation merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will automatically be converted into one share of one-third of $.01 par value common stock of Pure Cycle Colorado (“Colorado Common Stock”), and each outstanding share of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred stock will automatically be converted into one share of $.001 par value Series B convertible preferred stock of Pure Cycle Colorado (the “Colorado Series B Preferred Stock”). You will not have to exchange your existing stock certificates of the Company for stock certificates of Pure Cycle Colorado. However, after consummation of the reincorporation merger, any stockholder desiring a new form of stock certificate (which will replace the word “Delaware” with “Colorado”) may submit the existing stock certificate to our transfer agent for cancellation and obtain a new certificate.

Pursuant to the reincorporation merger, the Company’s 2004 Incentive Plan will remain in effect. Each award of shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2004 Incentive Plan will be converted into an award of shares of Colorado Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the reincorporation, and each outstanding option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2004 Incentive Plan will be converted into an option to purchase the same number of shares of Colorado Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the reincorporation. Options and rights granted under the 2004 Incentive Plan in the future will be for shares of Colorado Common Stock.

The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of Pure Cycle Colorado (consisting of our President, Mr. Harding) and subsequently was adopted by the Company, as the sole stockholder of Pure Cycle Colorado. Approval of the reincorporation proposal (which constitutes approval of the Merger Agreement) requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the proposal.

A vote in favor of the reincorporation proposal is a vote to approve the Merger Agreement and therefore the reincorporation merger. A vote in favor of the reincorporation proposal is also effectively a vote in favor of the Colorado Articles of Incorporation and the Colorado Bylaws.

Effective Time

If the reincorporation proposal is approved, the reincorporation merger, and consequently the reincorporation will become effective at the time set forth in each of the Statement of Merger to be filed with the Secretary of State of Colorado in accordance with Section 7-111-104.5 of the CBCA and the Certificate of Ownership and Merger to be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware in accordance with Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL” or “Delaware law”). The Company anticipates filing these documents shortly after the Meeting. However, the Merger Agreement may be terminated and abandoned by action of the board of directors of the Company at any time prior to the effective time of the reincorporation merger, whether before or after the approval by holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, if the board of directors determines for any reason, in its sole judgment and discretion, that the consummation of the reincorporation merger would be inadvisable or not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Effect of Not Obtaining the Required Vote for Approval

If the reincorporation proposal fails to obtain the requisite vote for approval, the reincorporation merger will not be consummated and the Company will continue to be incorporated in Delaware.

Comparison of Stockholder Rights Before and After the Reincorporation

Because of differences between Delaware law and Colorado law, as well as differences between the Company’s governing documents before and after the reincorporation, the reincorporation will effect some changes in the rights of the Company’s stockholders. Summarized below are the most significant differences between the rights of the stockholders of the Company before and after the reincorporation. The summary below is not an exhaustive list of all differences or a complete description of the differences described, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL, the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation, the Delaware Bylaws, the CBCA, the Colorado Articles of Incorporation, and the Colorado Bylaws.

		Delaware		Colorado
Removal of Directors		Under Delaware law, directors may be removed by stockholders with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote for the election of directors.		The Colorado Articles of Incorporation are identical to Delaware with respect to the removal of directors by the shareholders without cause. However, under Colorado law, a lesser vote is required to remove directors with cause. Directors may be removed with cause if the number of votes cast in favor of removal exceeds the number of votes cast against removal.
Vacancies on the Board of Directors		Under Delaware law and the Delaware Bylaws, vacancies on the board of directors of the Company may be filled by the remaining directors or, if there are no remaining directors, by the stockholders.		Under Colorado law, because the Colorado Articles of Incorporation do not provide otherwise, any vacancies on the board of directors may be filled either by the remaining directors or the shareholders.

		Delaware		Colorado
Stockholders’ Power to Call Special Meetings		The Delaware Bylaws provide that a special meeting of shareholders must be called upon the request of holders of not less than 20% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The board of directors has the right to amend or remove this provision.		The Colorado Bylaws provide that a special meeting of shareholders must be called upon the request of holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Pure Cycle Colorado. This provision is required by Colorado law.
Notice of Stockholder Nominations for Directors and Business to be Brought Before Meetings		The Delaware Bylaws provide that no business may be brought before the annual meeting of stockholders, including the nomination or election of persons to the board of directors, by a stockholder unless the stockholder satisfies certain advance notice requirements.		The Colorado Bylaws contain identical provisions regarding advance notice of shareholder nominations of directors or notice of business to be brought before the annual meeting of shareholders, except that the Colorado Bylaws include a provision that the shareholder must be eligible to submit a proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In order to be eligible under Rule 14a-8 to submit a proposal, a shareholder must have continuously held at least $2000 in market value, or 1%, of the securities entitled to be voted on the proposal at the meeting for at least one year prior to the date of submitting the proposal.
Indemnification		The Delaware Certificate of Incorporation provides for mandatory indemnification of officers and directors of the Company, provided they satisfy certain standards of conduct identified by the DGCL. Under Delaware law, a person seeking indemnification is generally required to have acted in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.		The Colorado Articles of Incorporation provide for mandatory indemnification of the officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law. Under Colorado law, a person seeking indemnification is generally required to have acted in a manner he or she reasonably believed to have been in the best interests of the corporation. In addition, Colorado law requires us to give shareholders, with or before the next shareholders’ meeting, a notice of all indemnification of, or advancement of expenses to, directors in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation.
Amendment to the (Certificate) Articles of Incorporation		Under the DGCL, a proposed amendment to the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation may not be submitted to a vote of stockholders without the prior approval of the board of directors.		Pursuant to the CBCA, amendments to the Colorado Articles, other than ministerial amendments authorized by the directors without shareholder action, may be proposed either by the board of directors or by the holders of shares representing at least 10% of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the amendment.

		Delaware		Colorado
Business Combination Statute		Section 203 of the DGCL provides for a three-year moratorium on certain business combination transactions with “interested stockholders” (generally, persons who beneficially own 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock).		The CBCA does not contain any business combination provisions.
Examination of Books and Records		Under Delaware law, any record holder of the Company may, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose, inspect certain records of the Company during usual business hours, provided the demand is made for a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder.		Under Colorado law, any record or beneficial shareholder of a corporation may, upon properly submitted demand, inspect the articles and bylaws of the corporation, and the past three (3) years of (i) minutes of shareholder actions and meetings, (ii) communications with shareholders, and (iii) financial statements. In addition, if a shareholder either (i) has been a shareholder for at least three (3) months or (ii) is a shareholder of at least 5% of all outstanding shares of any class of shares, such shareholder may inspect the list of shareholders and certain other corporate records, including excerpts of minutes of the meetings of the board of directors, provided that the demand is made in good faith for a proper purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a shareholder.
Dissenters’ (Appraisal) Rights		Delaware law provides appraisal rights only in the case of a stockholder objecting to certain mergers or consolidations. Thus, under the DGCL, stockholders have no appraisal rights in a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of a corporation’s assets. Appraisal rights in Delaware are available to record holders only. Appraisal rights are not applicable to the Merger.		Under Colorado law, shareholders are entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights in the event of certain mergers, share exchanges, and sales, leases, exchanges or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the property of the corporation. Shareholders also may dissent in the case of a reverse stock split that reduces the number of shares owned to a fraction of a share or to scrip if such scrip is to be acquired for cash or voided. Dissenters’ rights in Colorado are available to both record holders and beneficial holders. Appraisal rights are not applicable to the Merger.
Franchise Tax		The DGCL requires corporations to pay franchise tax annually (the current maximum is $165,000 per year).		There is no franchise tax in Colorado.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation Merger

The following discussion addresses the material federal income tax consequences of the reincorporation merger that are applicable to holders of shares of the Company’s common stock. The discussion does not address all federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular holder of shares of the Company’s common stock, or any foreign, state or local tax considerations. Accordingly, holders of the Company’s common stock are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific federal, foreign, state and local tax consequences to them as a result of the reincorporation merger.

The following discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable Treasury Regulations, judicial authority and administrative rulings and practice, all as of the date hereof. The Company has not and will not request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the tax consequences of the reincorporation merger.

We believe that the reincorporation merger and the resulting reincorporation of the Company from Delaware to Colorado will constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Accordingly, for federal income tax purposes, (i) no gain or loss will be recognized by the holders of shares of the Company’s common stock or Series B convertible preferred stock upon consummation of the reincorporation merger, (ii) the aggregate tax basis of shares of Colorado Common Stock and Colorado Series B Preferred Stock received in the reincorporation merger will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of shares of the Company’s common stock and Series B convertible preferred stock exchanged in the reincorporation merger and (iii) the holding period of the shares of Colorado Common Stock and Colorado Series B Preferred Stock received in the reincorporation merger will include the period for which shares of the Company’s common stock and Series B convertible preferred stock were held.

Accounting Treatment of the Reincorporation Merger

The historical financial statements of the Company, previously reported to the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, among others, as of and for all periods through the date of this proxy statement, will continue to be treated as the Company’s financial statements following the merger.

Regulatory Approval

To the Company’s knowledge, the only required regulatory or governmental approval or filing necessary to consummate the reincorporation merger will be the filing of the Statement of Merger with the Secretary of State of Colorado and the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE REINCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY IN COLORADO.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
(Proposal No. 3)

Action is to be taken by the stockholders at the Meeting with respect to the ratification and approval of the selection by the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors of GHP Horwath, P.C. (“GHP”) to be the independent auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2008. In the event of a negative vote on such ratification, the Audit Committee of the board of directors will reconsider its selection. A representative of GHP is expected to be present at the Meeting. The GHP representative will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Change in Auditors — On December 15, 2006, the Company replaced Anton Collins Mitchell LLP (“ACM”) as its independent registered public accountant. The decision to replace ACM was approved by the Audit Committee of the board of directors. ACM did not, for either of the fiscal years ended August 31, 2006 or 2005, or to the date of the change of auditors, produce a report on the Company’s financial statements which contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion. ACM’s reports were not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

For either of the two fiscal years ended August 31, 2006 and 2005, and to the date of the change in auditors, there were no reportable events as described in Regulation S-K 229.304(a)(1)(v). During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2006 and 2005, and the subsequent interim period through December 15, 2006 (the date of the change in auditors), there were (i) no disagreements with ACM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to ACM’s satisfaction, would have caused ACM to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreement in connection with its reports on the financial statements of the Company except as described below, and (ii) no reportable events as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

As discussed in Item 9 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2007, certain of the properties acquired from HP A&M pursuant to the Arkansas River Agreement, entered into on August 31, 2006, are subject to outstanding promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) which are secured by deeds of trust on the properties. The Company did not assume the Promissory Notes and they remain the obligation of HP A&M. The Promissory Notes had principal and accrued interest totaling approximately $13.9 million and $14.6 at August 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Because the Company would lose a portion of the land and water rights acquired from HP A&M if any defaults on such Promissory Notes are not cured, the Company originally recorded the outstanding balance of the Promissory Notes as a liability on its August 31, 2006 balance sheet. In December 2006, the Company was informed by ACM of their intent to not stand for re-election. At the time, it was ACM’s position that for periods commencing after August 31, 2006, the acquisition date, interest accrued on the Promissory Notes should be treated as an expense paid by a principal shareholder in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 79, Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities by Principal Stockholder(s), whereby the Company would record interest expense, which would have been approximately $950,000 in fiscal 2007, with a corresponding increase to additional paid in capital. Since the Company did not concur with this position, the Company requested the Staff of the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) to review its proposed treatment of the Promissory Notes. As described in the Company’s First Amendment to its August 31, 2006 Form 10-K, following the consultations with the Staff, the Company removed the liability related to the Promissory Notes from its August 31, 2006 balance sheet. Further information can be obtained from the First Amendment to the August 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on April 16, 2007.

ACM’s report on effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2006, identified a material weakness in that the Company’s closing process failed to identify all necessary accounting adjustments for certain transactions.

On December 15, 2006, the Company engaged its new independent registered public accountant, GHP. The decision to engage GHP was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board. Since its appointment, the Company has not consulted with GHP on matters of the type contemplated by Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K. GHP reported that the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

GHP has no direct or indirect financial interest in the Company and does not have any connection with the Company in the capacity of promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee. Neither the Company, nor any officer, director or associate of the Company has any interest in GHP.

Fees — For the fiscal years ended August 31, the Company was billed the following audit, audit-related, tax and other fees by GHP and ACM. The Audit Committee approved 100% of these fees in accordance with the Audit Committee Charter. The audit related fees related to the internal control audits pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the registered equity offering in July 2007 and the consultations with the Staff of the SEC.

		Fiscal year ended August 31,
		2007				2006
Audit Fees		$	55,000			$	52,000
Audit Related Fees		$	146,300			$	20,000
Tax		$	—			$	—
All Other Fees		$	—			$	—

Pre-Approval Policy — The Audit Committee has established a pre-approval policy in its Charter. In accordance with the policy, the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit, non-audit and internal control related services provided by the independent auditors prior to the engagement of the independent auditors with respect to such services.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN UNDER THE PROXY

C. Series B Preferred Stock.

(i) Number of Shares and Designation. 432,514 shares of the preferred stock, $.001 par value, of the Corporation are hereby constituted as a series of preferred stock of the Corporation designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).

(ii) Liquidation.

1. Liquidation Value. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any other equity securities of the Corporation, the amount of $1.00 per share less an amount equal to all dividends paid thereon (the “Liquidation Value”).

2. Notice of Liquidation. The Corporation will mail written notice of any distribution in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, not less than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of Series B Preferred Stock. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or any part of its assets, nor the reduction of the capital stock of the Corporation, will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section (ii).

(iii) Dividends.

1. General Obligations. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cash dividends when and as declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for such purpose in a total amount of $1.00 per share, and no more. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall earn and accrue a dividend if and when the Corporation receives proceeds from (i) the retirement of the Rangeview Bonds whether for cash or for new bonds or other debt obligations of the District or (ii) the marketing, sale or other distribution of the Rangeview Water Right or the water underlying such right in an amount greater than $35,000,000 plus PPI (a “Qualifying Sale”). Such dividend shall be paid when and as declared by the board of directors and upon completion of any Qualifying Rangeview Sale unless payment is prohibited by Colorado law. No dividends shall be paid on common stock unless all dividends accrued on the Series B Preferred Stock have been paid.

2. Distribution of Partial Dividend Payment. If at any time less than the total amount of dividends have accrued with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, any payment of such dividends declared by the board of directors will be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock based upon the number of shares held by such holders, respectively.

(iv) Optional Redemption.

1. Redemption. The Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Corporation at its option on any date set by the board of directors, in whole or in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Value.

2. As Alternative to Dividend. In lieu of payment of a dividend accruing from a Qualifying Rangeview Sale, the board of directors may alternatively cause the Corporation to redeem shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, on any date set by the board of directors, in whole or in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Value. If the Corporation elects to redeem shares of Series B Preferred Stock in lieu of paying an accrued dividend, the Corporation must redeem the full number of shares purchasable with the aggregate dividend accrued.

3. Limitation on Use Rangeview Assets. The Series B Preferred Stock may not be redeemed utilizing the Rangeview Assets or proceeds therefrom unless it would be permissible under Section (iii)(3) hereof to use such assets to pay a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock.

4. Notice of Redemption. Notice of any proposed redemption of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be sent to the holders of record of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, at least 20, but not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption (herein referred to as the “Redemption Date”). Each such notice shall specify (i) the Redemption Date, (ii) the Redemption Price, (iii) the place for payment and for delivering the stock certificate(s) and transfer instrument(s) in order to collect the Redemption Price, and (iv) the number of shares to be redeemed. If less than all the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall redeem (or offer to redeem) the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis. In order to facilitate the redemption of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the board of directors may fix a record date for determination of holders of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, which date shall not be more than 60 (nor less than 10) days prior to the Redemption Date with respect thereto.

5. Return of Stock Certificates. The holder of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are redeemed shall not be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price for such shares until such holder shall cause to be delivered to the place specified in the notice given with respect to such redemption (i) the certificate(s) representing such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and (ii) transfer instrument(s) satisfactory to the Corporation and sufficient to transfer such shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Corporation free of any adverse interest. No interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price of any share of Series B Preferred Stock after its Redemption Date.

6. Extinguishment of Rights. At the close of business on the Redemption Date for any share of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, such share shall (provided the Redemption Price of such share has been paid or properly provided for) be deemed to cease to be outstanding and all rights of any person other than the Corporation in such share shall be extinguished on the Redemption Date for such share except for the right to receive the Redemption Price, without interest, for such share in accordance with the provisions of this Section (iv), subject to applicable escheat laws.

7. Open Market Purchases. The Corporation shall have the right to purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the public market at such prices as may then be available in the public market for such shares and shall have the right at any time to acquire any Series B Preferred Stock from the owner of such shares on such terms as may be agreeable to such owner. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be acquired by the Corporation from any shareholder pursuant to this Section (iv)(7) without offering any other shareholder an equal opportunity to sell his or her stock to the Corporation, and no purchase by the Corporation from any shareholder pursuant to this Section (iv)(7) shall be deemed to create any right on the part of any shareholder to sell any shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or any other stock) to the Corporation. The purchase by the Corporation of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section (iv)(7) shall not be deemed for any purpose to be a redemption. Such shares shall not be entitled to receive dividends while held by the Corporation.

8. Limitations on Redemption Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section (iv), and subject to the provisions of Section (iii) hereof, if a dividend upon any shares of Series B Preferred Stock is past due, the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, except pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

9. Mandatory Redemption. No holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have any right to require the Corporation to redeem any or all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

(v) Voting.

1. General. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law. In connection with any right to vote, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock will have one vote for each such share held. Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Corporation or any entity controlled by the Corporation shall not have voting rights hereunder and shall not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum.

2. Default Voting Rights. Whenever dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall have accrued pursuant to Section (iii)(1), but have not been declared by the board of directors, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote with the holders of the common stock at any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation held during the period such dividends remain in arrears. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have one vote when voting with the common stock. The right of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to vote with the common stock shall terminate when all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or set apart for payment. Cumulative voting shall not be permitted in the election of directors or otherwise.

3. Class Voting Rights. So long as the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66-2/3% (or such higher percentage, if any, as may then be required by applicable law) of all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock voting separately as a class, (i) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation, so as to affect adversely the relative rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Series B Preferred Stock or (ii) create, authorize, issue, or increase the amount of any class or series of stock, or any security convertible into stock of such class or series, ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend or liquidation rights. A class vote on the part of the Series B Preferred Stock shall, without limitation, specifically not be deemed to be required (except as otherwise required by law or resolution of the board of directors) in connection with: (a) the authorization, issuance or increase in the authorized amount of any shares of any other class or series of stock which ranks junior to, or on a parity with, the Series B Preferred Stock in respect of the payment of dividends and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; or (b) the authorization, issuance or increase in the amount of any notes, commercial paper, bonds, mortgages, debentures or other obligations of the Corporation.

ARTICLE II

SHAREHOLDERS

2.1 Annual Meetings.

The annual meeting of shareholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed, from time to time, by a resolution of the board of directors. Each such annual meeting shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Colorado, as shall be determined by the board of directors. The day, time, and place of each annual meeting shall be specified in the notice of such annual meeting. Any annual meeting of shareholders may be adjourned from day to day, time to time, and place to place until its business is completed.

2.2 Special Meetings.

Except as otherwise required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”), special meetings of shareholders may be called by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president, or the board of directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire board of directors or a sole remaining director. The Corporation shall also hold a special shareholders’ meeting if it receives one or more written demands for the meeting, signed and dated by the holders of shares representing at least ten (10%) percent of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the meeting. A written request for a meeting delivered by shareholders shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting, shall be delivered to the secretary, and shall comply with the requirements set forth in the third paragraph of Section 2.10 of these bylaws. The term “entire board of directors,” as used in these bylaws, means the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies. Only business within the purpose or purposes described in the notice of the meeting may be conducted at a special shareholders’ meeting.

2.3 Shareholder Action.

Any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders of the Corporation shall be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such shareholders, or without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if the requisite shareholders entitled to vote execute a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken.

No action taken by written consent shall be effective unless, within sixty days after the date the Corporation first receives a writing describing and consenting to the action and signed by a shareholder, the Corporation has received writings that describe and consent to the action, signed by shareholders holding at least the number of shares necessary to authorize or take the action (disregarding any consent that has been revoked as provided below). Action taken pursuant to this Section shall be effective as of the date the last writing necessary to effect the action is received by the Corporation, unless all of the writings necessary to effect the action specify another date, which may be before or after the date the writings are received by the Corporation. Such action shall have the same effect as action taken at a meeting of shareholders and may be described as such in any document. Any shareholder who has signed a writing describing and consenting to an action taken pursuant to this Section may revoke such consent by a writing signed by the shareholder describing the action and stating that the shareholder’s prior consent thereto is revoked, if such writing is received by the Corporation before the effectiveness of the action.

If written action is taken with less than unanimous consent of all shareholders entitled to vote upon the action, the Corporation or shareholders taking the action shall, upon receipt by the Corporation of all writings necessary to effect the action, give notice of the action to all shareholders who were entitled to vote upon the action but who have not consented to the action as herein provided. The notice shall contain or be accompanied by the same material, if any, that would have been required under the Act to be given to shareholders in or with notice of the meeting at which the action would have been submitted to the shareholders.

2.4 Notice of Meeting.

Except as otherwise required by statute or the Articles of Incorporation, written notice stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, except that if the number of authorized shares is to be increased, at least thirty days’ notice shall be given, either personally or by mail, prepaid telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, cablegram, overnight courier or radiogram, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the shareholder’s address as it appears on the stock records of the Corporation. If given personally or otherwise than by mail, such notice shall be deemed to be given when either handed to the shareholder or delivered to the shareholder’s address as it appears on the stock records of the Corporation.

2.5 Waiver of Notice.

Attendance of a shareholder of the Corporation, either in person or by proxy, at any meeting, whether annual or special, shall constitute a waiver (i) of lack of notice or defective notice of such meeting, except where a shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to the holding of the meeting or transacting business at the meeting because of lack of notice or defective notice and (ii) of objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented. A written waiver of notice of any such meeting waiver, signed by the shareholder or shareholders entitled to such notice, whether before, at or after the time for notice or the time of the meeting, shall be equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purposes of, any meeting need be specified in any written waiver of notice. Waivers shall be delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records, but such delivery and filing shall not be conditions of the effectiveness of the waiver.

2.6 Voting List.

After fixing a record date for a shareholders’ meeting, the secretary shall prepare a complete list of the shareholders entitled to be given notice of the meeting. The list shall be arranged by voting groups, and within each voting group by class or series of shares, shall be alphabetical within each class or series, and shall show the address of and the number of shares of each such class and series that are registered in the name of each shareholder. Such list shall be available for inspection by any shareholder beginning at the earlier of ten (10) days before the meeting for which the list was prepared or two (2) business days after the notice is given and continuing through the meeting, and any adjournment thereof, during ordinary business hours either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting or, if not so specified, at the principal office of the Corporation. The list shall be produced and kept at the place of the meeting during the whole time of the meeting and may be inspected by any shareholder or an agent or attorney of the shareholder at any time during the meeting or any adjournment.

2.7 Quorum.

Except as otherwise required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of not less than a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting of the shareholders, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. If a quorum exists, action on a matter other than the election of directors by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast within the voting group opposing the action, unless a greater number of affirmative votes is required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation. Cumulative voting shall not be permitted in the election of directors or otherwise. At each election for directors, each shareholder entitled to vote at such election has the right to vote all of the shareholder’s votes for as many persons as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the shareholder has a right to vote. In an election of directors, that

number of candidates equaling the number of directors to be elected, having the highest number of votes cast in favor of their election, are elected to the board of directors. Once a share is present for any purpose at a meeting, including the purpose of determining that a quorum exists, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of the meeting, unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or unless a new record date is or shall be set for that adjourned meeting. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice if the time and place are announced at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (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 shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

2.8 Record Date.

In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting or at any adjournment of a meeting of shareholders; entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights; 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, in advance, 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. The record date shall not be fixed more than seventy (70) days before the date of the proposed action. If no record date is fixed: (i) the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting shall be the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived by all shareholders, at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (ii) the record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating to such other purpose. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders 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, and the board of directors shall set a new record date if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

Notwithstanding the above, the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting or entitled to be given notice of action so taken shall be the date a writing upon which the action is taken is first received by the Corporation. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to demand a special meeting shall be the date of the earliest of any of the demands pursuant to which the meeting is called, or the date that is sixty (60) days before the date the first of such demands is received by the corporation, whichever is later.

2.9 Procedure.

The order of business and all other matters of procedure at every meeting of the shareholders may be determined by the presiding officer.

2.10 Advance Notice of Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations.

Shareholders may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at the annual meeting of shareholders or propose business to be brought before the annual meeting of shareholders, or both, only if (i) such business is a proper matter for shareholder action under applicable Colorado law, (ii) the shareholder has given timely notice in proper written form of such shareholder’s intent to make such nomination or nominations or to propose such business, and (iii) the shareholder is eligible to submit a proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or §7-107-102 of the Act.

However, if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after the Anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, then notice by the shareholder to be timely must be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the 15th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

To be in proper form a shareholder’s notice to the secretary shall be in writing and shall set forth (i) the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination(s) or propose the business and, as the case may be, of the person or persons to be nominated or of the business to be proposed, (ii) a representation as to the number of shares held of record by such shareholder, that the shareholder intends to vote such stock at such meeting and, in the case of nomination of a director or directors, intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice, (iii) in the case of nomination of a director or directors, a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee or any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder, (iv) such other information regarding each nominee or each matter of business to be proposed by such shareholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to Regulation 14A promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, had the nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, or the matter been proposed, or intended to be proposed, by the board of directors of the Corporation and (v) in the case of nomination of a director or directors, the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation if so elected.

The Chairman of a meeting of shareholders may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person or the proposal of any business not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this section. Nothing in this section shall affect any rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Nothing in this section shall affect any rights of shareholders, if any, to have any nominee included in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

The chairman, if present, shall preside at all meetings of shareholders and of the board and shall perform all duties incident to the office of chairman of the board and all such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to the chairman by the board or by these bylaws.

3.3 Election and Terms.

A director shall hold office until the annual shareholders’ meeting for the year in which the director’s term expires and thereafter until a successor shall be elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

3.4 Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies.

Except as otherwise fixed pursuant to the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the board of directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled by (i) the board of directors, (ii) the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office or a sole remaining director, even though less than a quorum of the board of directors, or (iii) by the shareholders at the next annual meeting or at a special meeting called for that purpose. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the new directorship which was created or the unexpired term of the director’s predecessor in office in which the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.

3.5 Regular Meetings.

The first meeting of each newly elected board of directors elected at the annual meeting of shareholders shall be held immediately after and at the same place as, the annual meeting of the shareholders, provided a quorum is present, and no notice of such meeting shall be necessary in order to legally constitute the meeting. Regular meetings of the board of directors shall be held at such times and places as the board of directors may from time to time determine.

3.6 Special Meetings.

Special meetings of the board of directors may be called at any time, at any place and for any purpose by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president or by a majority of the entire board of directors.

3.7 Notice of Meetings.

Notice of regular meetings of the board of directors need not be given. Notice of every special meeting of the board of directors shall be given to each director at his usual place of business or at such other address as shall have been furnished by him for such purpose. Such notice shall be properly and timely given if it is: (i) deposited in the United States mail not later than the third calendar day preceding the date of the meeting or (ii) personally delivered, telegraphed, sent by facsimile transmission or communicated by telephone at least twenty-four hours before the time of the meeting. Such notice need not include a statement of the business to be transacted at, or the purpose of, any such meeting.

3.8 Waiver.

Attendance of a director at a regular or special meeting of the board of directors shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director 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, and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting. A written waiver of notice signed by a director or directors entitled to such notice, whether before, at, or after the time for notice or the time of the meeting, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice. Such waiver shall be delivered to the secretary for filing with the corporate records, but such delivery and filing shall not be conditions of the effectiveness of the waiver.

3.9 Quorum and Voting.

Except as may be otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or in these bylaws, the presence of a majority of the total number of directors then in office immediately before the meeting begins shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors, and the affirmative act of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be deemed the act of the board of directors. Less than a quorum may adjourn any meeting of the board of directors from time to time without notice. A director who is present at the meeting of the board of directors when corporate action is taken is deemed to have assented to all action taken at the

meeting unless: (i) the director objects at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon his/her arrival, to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to any action taken at the meeting; (ii) the director contemporaneously requests that the director’s dissent or abstention as to any specific action taken be entered in the minutes of the meeting; or (iii) the director causes written notice of the his/her dissent or abstention as to any specific action to be received by the presiding officer of the meeting before the adjournment of the meeting or by the secretary (or, if the director is the secretary, by another director) promptly after adjournment of the meeting. The right of dissent or abstention as to a specific action in not available to a director who votes in favor or the action taken.

3.10 Participation in Meetings by Telephone.

Members of the board of directors, or of any committee thereof, may participate in any meeting of such board or committee by means of conference telephone or other means of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

3.11 Powers.

The business, property and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its board of directors, which shall have and may exercise all the powers of the Corporation to do all such lawful acts and things as are not by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these bylaws, directed or required to be exercised or done by the shareholders.

3.12 Compensation of Directors.

Directors shall receive such compensation for their services as shall be determined by a majority of the entire board of directors, provided that directors who are serving the Corporation as officers or employees and who receive compensation for their services as such officers or employees shall not receive any salary or other compensation for their services as directors.

3.13 Action Without a Meeting.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if written consent thereto is signed by all members of the board of directors or such committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee. Any such consent may be signed in counterparts and shall be effective on the date of the last signature thereon unless otherwise provided therein or unless, before such time as the last director signs, any director has revoked his/her consent by a writing received by the secretary of the corporation. Action taken pursuant to written consent has the same effect as action taken at a meeting of directors and may be described as such in any document.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES

6.1 Definitions. As used in this Article VI:

(a) “Corporation” includes any domestic or foreign entity that is a predecessor of the Corporation by reason of a merger or other transaction in which the predecessor’s existence ceased upon consummation of the transaction.

(b) “Director” means an individual who is or was a director of the Corporation or an individual who, while a director of the Corporation, is or was serving at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, partner, manager, member, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of, or in any similar managerial or fiduciary position of, another domestic or foreign entity or of an employee benefit plan. A director is considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the Corporation’s request if his or her duties to the Corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, the director to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan. “Director” includes, unless the context requires otherwise, the estate or personal representative of a director.

(c) “Expenses” includes counsel fees.

(d) “Liability” means the obligation incurred with respect to a proceeding to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses.

(e) “Official capacity” means, when used with respect to a director, the office of director in the Corporation and, when used with respect to a person other than a director as contemplated in Section 6.7, the office in the Corporation held by the officer or the employment, fiduciary or agency relationship undertaken by the employee, fiduciary or agent on behalf of the Corporation. “Official capacity” does not include service for any other domestic or foreign entity or employee benefit plan.

(f) “Party” includes a person who was, is or is threatened to be made, a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding.

(g) “Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal.

6.2 Authority to Indemnify Directors.

(a) Except as provided in Section 6.2(d), the Corporation shall indemnify a person made a party to a proceeding because the person is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:

(i) The person conducted himself or herself in good faith; and

(ii) The person reasonably believed:

(A) In the case of conduct in an official capacity with the Corporation, that his or her conduct was in the Corporation’s best interests; and

(B) In all other cases, that such conduct was at least not opposed to the Corporation’s best interests; and

(iii) In the case of any criminal proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

(b) A director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose the director reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement of Section 6.2(a)(ii)(B). A director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose that the director did not reasonably believe to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed not to satisfy the requirements of Section 6.2(a)(i).

(c) The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the standard of conduct described in this Section 6.2.

(d) Except to the extent authorized by a court as provided in the Act, the Corporation may not indemnify a director under this Section 6.2:

(i) In connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the Corporation; or

(ii) In connection with any other proceeding charging that the director derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving action in an official capacity, in which proceeding the director was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she derived an improper personal benefit.

(e) Indemnification permitted under this Section 6.2 in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

6.3 Mandatory Indemnification of Directors.

The Corporation shall indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is or was a director, against reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding.

6.4 Advance of Expenses to Directors.

(a) The Corporation shall pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding, within ten (10) days after receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements reasonably evidencing the expenses incurred, if:

(i) The director furnishes to the Corporation a written affirmation of the director’s good faith belief that the director has met the standard of conduct described in Section 6.2.

(ii) The director furnishes to the Corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on the director’s behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that the director did not meet the standard of conduct; and

(iii) A determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this Article VI.

(b) The undertaking required by Section 6.4(a)(ii) shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

(c) Determinations and authorizations of payments under this Section 6.4 shall be made in the manner specified in Section 6.6.

6.5 Court-Ordered Indemnification of Directors. Notwithstanding a determination that the director did not meet the standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.2(a) or the fact that the director was adjudged liable in the circumstances described in Section 6.2(d), a director who is or was a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that the director is entitled to indemnification hereunder, nor an actual determination by the Corporation that the director is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, shall be a defense to the action or create any presumption that such person is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

6.6 Determination and Authorization of Indemnification of Directors.

(a) Except to the extent authorized by a court as provided in the Act, the Corporation shall not indemnify a director under Section 6.2 unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because the director has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.2. The Corporation shall not advance expenses to a director under Section 6.4 unless authorized in the specific case after the written affirmation and undertaking required by Section 6.4(a)(i) and 6.4(a)(ii) are received and the determination required by Section 6.4(a)(iii) has been made.

(b) The determinations required by Section 6.6(a) shall be made:

(i) By the board of directors by a majority vote of those present at a meeting at which a quorum is present, and only those directors not parties to the proceeding shall be counted in satisfying the quorum; or

(ii) If a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the board of directors designated by the board of directors, which committee shall consist of two or more directors not parties to the proceeding; except that directors who are parties to the proceeding may participate in the designation of directors for the committee.

(c) If a quorum cannot be obtained as contemplated in Section 6.6(b)(i), and a committee cannot be established under Section 6.6(b)(ii), or even if a quorum is obtained or a committee is designated, if a majority of the directors constituting such quorum or such committee so directs, the determination required to be made by Section 6.6(a) shall be made:

(i) By independent legal counsel selected by a vote of the board of directors or the committee in the manner specified in Section 6.6(b)(i) or 6.6(b)(ii), or, if a quorum of the full board cannot be obtained and a committee cannot be established, by independent legal counsel selected by a majority vote of the full board of directors; or

(ii) By the shareholders.

(d) Authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible; except that, if the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is required or permissible is made by independent legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made by the body that selected such counsel.

(e) Any indemnification requested by a director under Section 6.2 shall be made no later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the written request of such person unless a determination is made within said forty-five (45) day period by the persons authorized pursuant to Section 6.6 that such director is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

6.7 Indemnification of Officers, Employees, Fiduciaries, and Agents.

(a) The Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an officer to the same extent as a director.

(b) The Corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation to the same extent as to a director.

(c) The Corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary or agent who is not a director to a greater extent than is provided in these bylaws, if not inconsistent with public policy, and if provided for by general or specific action of its board of directors or shareholders or by contract.

6.8 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, manager, member, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of another domestic or foreign entity or of an employee benefit plan, against liability asserted against or incurred by the person in that capacity or arising from his or her status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent, whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify the person against the same liability under Section 6.2, 6.3, or 6.7. Any such insurance may be procured from any insurance company designated by the board of directors, whether such insurance company is formed under the laws of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction of the United States or elsewhere, including any insurance company in which the Corporation has an equity or any other interest through stock ownership or otherwise.

6.9 Notice to Shareholders of Indemnification of Director. If the Corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to a director under this Article VI in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, the Corporation shall give written notice of the indemnification or advance to the shareholders with or before the notice of the next shareholders meeting. If the next shareholder action is taken without a meeting at the instigation of the board of directors, such notice shall be given to the shareholders at or before the time the first shareholder signs a writing consenting to such action.

6.10 Settlements. Costs, charges or expenses of investigating or defending a proceeding for which indemnity will be sought hereunder may be incurred without the Corporation’s consent, provided that no settlement of any such proceeding may be made without the Corporation’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6.11 Subrogation.

In the event of payment under these bylaws, the indemnifying party or parties shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnified person therefor and such indemnified person shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the indemnifying party or parties to effectively bring suit to enforce such rights.

6.12 Presumptions.

In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that such person is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI, and the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.

6.13 Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advancement of Expenses.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these bylaws, no person shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under these bylaws with respect to any proceeding brought by such person, unless the bringing of such proceeding or making of such claim shall have been approved by the board of directors.

6.14 Contract.

The foregoing provisions of this Article VI shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director and officer who serves in such capacity at any time while this bylaw is in effect, and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.

The foregoing rights of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any director or officer may be entitled apart from the provisions of this Article VI.

6.15 Surviving Corporation.

The board of directors may provide by resolution that references to “the Corporation” in this Article shall include, in addition to this Corporation, all constituent corporations absorbed in a merger with this Corporation so that any person who was a director or officer of such a constituent corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, partner, manager, member, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to this Corporation as such person would if such person had served this Corporation in the same capacity or is or was so serving such other entity at the request of this Corporation, as the case may be.

ARTICLE VII

CAPITAL STOCK

7.1 Certificates.

Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, or shall be uncertificated shares that may be evidenced by a book-entry system, or a combination of both.

Each certificate shall be signed by or in the name of the Corporation by (i) the chief executive officer, the president, or any executive vice president or vice president and (ii) the secretary or an assistant secretary. Any or all the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. The rights and obligations of shareholders are not affected by the fact that their shares are not represented by certificates. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of shares without certificates, the Corporation shall send to the shareholder a written statement of the information required on certificates by the Act.

7.2 Facsimile Signatures.

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 he, she or it was such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.

7.3 Registered Shareholders.

The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock of the Corporation as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it has actual or other notice thereof, except as provided by law.

7.4 Cancellation of Certificates.

All certificates surrendered to the Corporation shall be canceled and, except in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, no new certificates shall be issued until the former certificate or certificates for the same number of shares of the same class of stock have been surrendered and canceled.

7.5 Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificates.

The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate or certificates to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. In its discretion, and as a condition precedent to the issuance of any such new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may require that the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or such person’s legal representative, give the Corporation and its transfer agent or agents, registrar or registrars a bond in such form and amount as the board of directors may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation and its transfer agent or agents, registrar or registrars on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

7.6 Transfer of Shares.

Certificated shares of stock shall be transferable on the books of the Corporation by the holder thereof, in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be transferred, properly endorsed, with such proof or guarantee of the authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably require. Uncertificated shares shall be transferable on the books of the Corporation upon the written instruction from the registered owner of such uncertificated shares or from a duly authorized attorney with such proof or guarantee of the authenticity of such instructions as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably require.

7.7 Transfer Agents and Registrars.

The Corporation may have one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars of its stock, whose respective duties the board of directors may, from time to time, define. No certificate of stock shall be valid until countersigned by a transfer agent, if the Corporation shall have a transfer agent, or until registered by the registrar, if the Corporation shall have a registrar. The duties of transfer agent and registrar may be combined.
