8.7           Severability.  If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

8.8           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein.

 

8.9           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

8.10           Interpretation.  Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, (a) references to the plural include the singular, the singular the plural, the part the whole, (b) references to any gender include all genders, (c) “including” has the inclusive meaning frequently identified with the phrase “but not limited to” and (d) references to “hereunder” or “herein” relate to this Agreement.

 

8.11           Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

8.12           Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any Other Investor under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.  Each Investor has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.  For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Investor and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through ___________ (“___”).  The Company has elected to provide all Investors with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Investors.

8.13           Fees and Expenses.  Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

OF

Pursuant to Section 7-106-102 of the

General Corporation Law of the State of Colorado

 

The undersigned duly authorized officer of Stratex Oil & Gas Holdings, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Colorado (the “Company”), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”), pursuant to Sections 7-106-102 and 1-108-202 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Colorado on June 20, 2012:

 

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors hereby provides for the issuance of a series of preferred stock, and hereby fixes the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, the shares of preferred stock, in addition to any set forth in the Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation that are applicable to such shares, as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1

 

DESIGNATION AND RANK

 

1.1   Designation. This resolution shall provide for a single series of preferred stock, the designation of which shall be Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The number of authorized shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock is 100 shares. The Series A Preferred Stock will have the relative rights and preferences to all other classes and series of the capital stock of the Company as set forth herein.

 

ARTICLE 2

 

DIVIDEND RIGHTS

ARTICLE 5

 

REDEMPTION RIGHTS

 

The Company shall not be obligated nor entitled to redeem any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

ARTICLE 6

 

VOTING RIGHTS

 

6.1   General. Subject to Section 6.2, Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have One Million (1,000,000) times that number of votes on all matters submitted to the stockholders that each share of common stock (rounded to the nearest whole number) is entitled to vote at each meeting of stockholders of the Company (and written actions of stockholders in lieu of meetings) with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class, except as may otherwise be required under the General Corporation Law of the State of Colorado (the “GCL”).

 

6.2   Stockholder Approvals. So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares of the Company is required by the GCL or its Amended Certificate of Incorporation and in addition to any other vote that may be required by the GCL, without the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a special meeting called for that purpose, the Company will not:

 

(a)           authorize or issue any equity security having any preference over the Series A Preferred Stock; or

 

(b)           amend, alter or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, any Certificate of Designations or Bylaws if such action would adversely alter or change in any material respect the rights, preferences or privileges of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

  

  

  

 

ARTICLE 7

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

7.1   Headings of Sections. The headings of the various Sections hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

 

7.2   Severability of Provisions. If any right, preference or limitation of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth herein is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other rights, preferences and limitations set forth in this resolution that can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no right, preference or limitation herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other such right, preference or limitation unless so expressed herein.

 

  

  

  

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Certificate of Designations to be signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.
