TABLE OF CONTENTS

ACTION NO. 1: THE REINCORPORATION

Purpose of the Reincorporation

The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders to reincorporate and reorganize in the State of Delaware.

The State of Delaware is recognized for adopting comprehensive modern and flexible corporate laws, which are periodically revised to respond to the changing legal and business needs of corporations. For this reason, many major corporations have initially incorporated in Delaware or have changed their corporate domiciles to Delaware in a manner similar to that adopted by our Board and a majority of our shareholders. Consequently, the Delaware judiciary has become particularly familiar with corporate law matters and a substantial body of court decisions has developed construing Delaware law. Delaware corporate law, accordingly, has been, and is likely to continue to be, interpreted in many significant judicial decisions, a fact which may provide greater clarity and predictability with respect to our corporate legal affairs and the activities of our directors.

Mechanics of the Reincorporation

The Reincorporation will be accomplished as follows: (i) we will form a new Delaware corporation, which will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, IT&E Delaware, (ii) we will merge with and into IT&E Delaware pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Reincorporation Agreement”) attached hereto as Appendix “A”, and (iii) following the merger, IT&E Delaware will be the surviving entity. Pursuant to the Reincorporation Agreement, each outstanding share of our common stock will automatically convert into one (1) share of common stock of IT&E Delaware.

IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR SHAREHOLDERS TO EXCHANGE THEIR EXISTING STOCK CERTIFICATES FOR STOCK CERTIFICATES OF IT&E DELAWARE.

Shareholders may, however, exchange their certificates through our transfer agent, Holladay Stock Transfer, Inc., if they so choose. Shares of common stock of IT&E Delaware will continue to trade on the over the counter bulletin board.

Timing of the Reincorporation

Pursuant to a covenant in the Securities Purchase Agreement we have agreed to effect, and intend to effect, the Reincorporation on the date that is twenty one (21) days after the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to our shareholders.

Consequences of the Reincorporation

The Reincorporation will result in a change in our legal domicile from Nevada to Delaware and certain other changes described in this Information Statement. The Reincorporation by itself will not result in any change in our business, management, fiscal year, assets or liabilities. The following discussion provides an overview of how the Reincorporation, by itself, will affect certain matters.

Name

Effective upon the Reincorporation, our name will change from “IT&E International Group” to “IT&E International, Inc.”

2

Authorized Capital Stock

Effective upon the Reincorporation, IT&E Delaware will have 660,000,000 authorized shares of capital stock, 650,000,000 of which will be common stock and 10,000,000 of which will be preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges as determined by the Board from time to time.

Board of Directors

Following the Reincorporation, our Board will continue to consist of the directors holding office prior to the Reincorporation, subject to Action No. 6 described below.

Shareholder Rights

Following the Reincorporation, the rights of our shareholders will be governed by the Certificate of Incorporation of IT&E Delaware, the Bylaws of IT&E Delaware and Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). These changes will result in certain differences in the rights of our shareholders after the Reincorporation is complete. Please see the section of this Information Statement entitled “Differences in Shareholder Rights” for a discussion of some of these differences.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The Reincorporation is intended to be tax free to us and our shareholders under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, it is expected that no gain or loss will be recognized by you solely as a result of the Reincorporation, and no gain or loss will be recognized by us or the newly formed Delaware entity. Each former holder of shares of our common stock will have the same tax basis in the newly formed Delaware entity’s common stock received by such holder pursuant to the Reincorporation as such holder has in the shares of our common stock held by such holder at the effective time of the Reincorporation. Each stockholder’s holding period with respect to the newly formed Delaware entity’s common stock will include the period during which such holder held the shares of our common stock, so long as the latter were held by such holder as a capital asset at the effective time of the Reincorporation. We have not obtained, and do not intend to obtain, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax consequences of the Reincorporation.

Accounting Consequences

There will be no material accounting consequences for us resulting from the Reincorporation.

Differences in Shareholder Rights

Bylaws

The bylaws of IT&E Delaware are substantially similar to our existing Amended and Restated Bylaws except that under the NRS, a director may be removed with or without cause only with the affirmative vote of sixty six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of our outstanding voting stock and our existing Amended and Restated Bylaws reflect this aspect of the NRS. In contrast the DGCL allows for the removal of a director, with or without cause, with the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock, and the IT&E Delaware bylaws reflect this aspect of the DGCL. A majority of our outstanding stock is held by a small number of shareholders which means that a relatively small group of shareholders acting together could vote to remove a director under the IT&E Delaware bylaws where such an action would have been more difficult pursuant to the super majority voting provision of the NRS and our existing Amended and Restated Bylaws discussed above. The IT&E Delaware bylaws are attached hereto as Appendix “B”.

3

Certificate of Incorporation

In general, the Certificate of Incorporation of IT&E Delaware differs from our existing Articles of Incorporation in the following manner. Our existing Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 2,820,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share  The IT&E Delaware Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 660,000,000 shares of capital stock total, par value $.001 per share, of which 650,000,000 are common stock and 10,000,000 of which are preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges as determined by the Board from time to time, and eliminates reference to the old Series A Preferred Stock, all of which has been converted to common stock.

The rights, preferences and privileges of the common stock of the IT&E Delaware are substantially similar to the rights, preferences and privileges of our common stock, subject to the differences between the NRS and the DGCL described below.

Nevada Revised Statues and Delaware Corporation Law

The following is a summary comparison of certain provisions of the NRS and the DGCL. It does not purport to be anything other than a summary and you are encouraged to review the NRS and DGCL for a complete understanding of their respective provisions.

The NRS and DGCL both have provisions and limitations regarding directors’ liability. The NRS and DGCL permit a corporation to include in its articles of incorporation or certificate of incorporation, as the case may be, a provision that eliminates or limits the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director. Both the IT&E International Articles of Incorporation and the IT&E Delaware Certificate of Incorporation include such a provision. However, under DGCL this provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) for declaration of unlawful dividends or illegal redemptions or stock repurchases; or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Under the NRS, this limitation of liability is not effective for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law. While these provisions provide directors with protection from awards for monetary damages for breaches of their duty of care, it does not eliminate that duty. Accordingly, these provisions have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies like an injunction or rescission based on a director’s breach of his duty of care. These provisions apply to an officer only if he/she is also a director and is acting in the capacity as a director, and does not apply to officers who are not directors.

Both the NRS and DGCL generally permit a corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a third-party action, other than a derivative action, and against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of a derivative action, provided that there is a determination that the individual acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. That determination must be made, in the case of an individual who is a director or officer, at the time of the determination:  (i) by a majority of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; (ii) by independent legal counsel, regardless of whether a quorum of disinterested directors exists; or (iii) by a majority vote of the shareholders, at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Both the NRS and DGCL require indemnification of directors and officers for expenses relating to a successful defense on the merits or otherwise of a derivative or third-party action. Also, both NRS and DGCL permit a corporation to advance expenses relating to the defense of any proceeding to directors and officers contingent upon those individuals’ commitment to repay any advances unless it is determined ultimately that those individuals are entitled to be indemnified.

4

Under the DGCL, any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote in an election of directors unless provided otherwise by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Under the NRS, any director may be removed by the vote of shareholders representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power entitled to vote.

Under the DGCL, the board of directors can amend the bylaws of a corporation only if the right to do so is expressly conferred upon the board of directors in its certificate of incorporation. In contrast, under NRS the directors are free to amend the bylaws. The IT&E Delaware bylaws include such a provision allowing the Board to amend the bylaws.

Under the NRS and DGCL, unless the articles of incorporation or certificate of incorporation, as the case may be, of a corporation otherwise provide, amendments of the articles of incorporation or certificate of incorporation, as the case may be, generally require the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on the amendment, and if the amendment would increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of any class or series or the par value of shares of that class or series or would adversely affect the rights, powers or preferences of that class or series, a majority of the outstanding stock of that class or series also would be required to approve the amendment.

The NRS provides that any merger, consolidation or share exchange of a Nevada corporation, as well as the sale, lease, exchange or disposal of all or substantially all of its assets not in the ordinary course of business, generally must be recommended by the board of directors and approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the corporation entitled to vote on such matters, unless the articles of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the NRS, the vote of the shareholders of a corporation surviving a merger is not required if:  (i) the articles of incorporation of the surviving domestic corporation will not differ from its articles before the merger; (ii) each shareholder of the surviving domestic corporation whose shares were outstanding immediately before the effective date of the merger will hold the same number of shares, with identical designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights immediately after the merger; (iii) the number of voting shares outstanding immediately after the merger, plus the number of voting shares issued as a result of the merger, either by the conversion of securities issued pursuant to the merger or the exercise of rights and warrants issued pursuant to the merger, will not exceed by more than twenty percent (20%) the total number of voting shares of the surviving domestic corporation outstanding immediately before the merger; and (iv) the number of participating shares outstanding immediately after the merger, plus the number of participating shares issuable as a result of the merger, either by the conversion of securities issued pursuant to the merger or the exercise of rights and warrants issued pursuant to the merger, will not exceed by more than twenty percent (20%) the total number of participating shares outstanding immediately before the merger. The DGCL contains similar provisions.

The NRS generally restricts the ability of a company to engage in business combinations with an “interested shareholder” (generally any holder of ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding voting stock of a company) during the three (3) years following the date such shareholder became an interested shareholder, subject to certain limited exceptions. The DGCL contains similar provisions, with the exception that an “interested stockholder” under the DGCL shall generally mean any holder of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding voting stock of a company. As permitted by the DGCL, the New Certificate will expressly elect not to be governed by this provision of the DGCL.

Under the NRS and DGCL, a special meeting of shareholders can be called by the corporation’s board of directors or by any person or persons as may be authorized by the corporation’s articles of incorporation or certificate of incorporation, as applicable, or bylaws. Under each of the bylaws of IT&E International and the bylaws of IT&E Delaware special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by the president or by the Board of Directors, and shall be called by the President at the request of the holders of not less than twenty five percent (25%) of all the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting.

5

Both the NRS and the DGCL permit corporate action without a meeting of shareholders upon the written consent of the holders of that number of shares necessary to authorize the proposed corporate action being taken, unless the articles of incorporation or the certificate of incorporation, as applicable, or bylaws expressly provide otherwise. Our existing bylaws and IT&E Delaware’s bylaws expressly allow our shareholders to act by written consent.

Neither the NRS nor the DGCL provide that shareholders have the right to cumulate votes in an election of directors, unless expressly set forth in the articles of incorporation or certificate of incorporation, as the case may be. Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor the Certificate of Incorporation of IT&E Delaware allow for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Under both the NRS and DGCL, any shareholder with a proper purpose may inspect and copy the books, records and shareholder lists of the corporation.

Appraisal Rights

You will be entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal with respect to the Reincorporation provided that you follow the procedures more specifically outlined in the section of this Information Statement below, entitled “Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal.” For further information and a description of the procedures to be followed in order to demand appraisal, please refer such section below.

ACTION NO. 2: APPROVE IT&E DELAWARE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Our Board and shareholders have approved the Certificate of Incorporation attached to this Information Statement as Appendix “C” (the “New Certificate”).

The New Certificate: (i) increases the number of authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 shares to 650,000,000 shares, (ii) eliminates reference to the existing Series A Preferred Stock, and (iii) authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges to be designated by the Board from time to time.

Our existing Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) currently authorize 250,000,000 shares of common stock and 2,820,000 shares of preferred stock, all of which is designated as Series A Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2005, we had 60,448,875 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. We have the following shares currently reserved for issuance: (i) 25,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance in connection with our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (subject to the expiration of the waiting period prescribed by Rule 14-2 of the Exchange Act which takes place on the date that is twenty (20) days after we mail this Information Statement to our shareholders); and (ii) 84,066,832 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.

Elimination of Existing Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

In order to facilitate an equity financing, the holders of a majority of our Series A Preferred Stock consented and agreed to convert all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at a conversion ratio of one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock to ten (10) shares of common stock. On November 4, 2005, we converted 2,820,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 28,200,000 shares of common stock upon receipt of notice of such conversion from the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock. In connection with the conversion of the Series A Preferred, our New Certificate will not contain any reference to the rights, preferences and privileges of our existing Series A Preferred Stock.

Increase in Authorized Common Stock and Authorization of Blank Check Preferred Stock

Our Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock and to authorize the issuance of preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges to be determined by our Board. The increase in our authorized common stock and preferred stock contemplated by this Action No. 2 will allow us to issue the 16,500 shares of Series D Preferred Stock described in Action No. 4 below. We currently intend to issue 11,500 shares of Series D Preferred Stock as described in Action No. 4 and to reserve up to 5,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for issuance upon the exercise of the ComVest Option described in Action No. 4. In addition, we intend to reserve an additional 235,714,215 shares of common stock that will become issuable upon conversion of all such shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

Any remaining shares of authorized but unissued and unreserved common or preferred stock may be issued to new investors in capital raising transactions or in connection with potential acquisitions. However, other than issuing up to 16,500 shares of Series D Preferred Stock described in Action No. 4 below and reserving a sufficient number of shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of such Series D Preferred Stock into common stock, we have no current plans for the issuance of any remaining authorized but unissued and unreserved common or preferred stock. In addition, we have not currently identified any such acquisition candidate to whom we would issue any such remaining authorized but unissued and unreserved common or preferred stock.

As discussed above and assuming all of the authorized shares of Series D Preferred Stock are issued, such Series D Preferred Stock will initially be convertible into 235,714,215 shares of common stock. After

7

such conversion to common stock, the holders of all of our Series D Preferred Stock would then hold approximately 79.69% of our outstanding common stock.

In addition, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote on all matters presented to the holders of the common stock. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock will entitle the holder thereof to cast that number of votes that such holder would be entitled to cast had such holder converted its Series D Preferred Stock into shares of common stock as of the date immediately prior to the record date for determining our shareholders eligible to vote on any such matter. Therefore, the holders of our Series D Preferred Stock would initially be entitled to 235,714,215 votes or 79.69% of the voting power when voting together with the common stock as a single class.

Be advised that the issuance of such preferred stock will dilute our existing shareholders and that our Board does not intend to solicit further approval from our shareholders prior to designating the rights, preferences or privileges of any such preferred stock, including, without limitation, rights as to dividends, conversion, voting, liquidation preference or redemption, which in each case may be superior to the rights of our common stock, or prior to the issuance of any such shares of preferred stock.

Effectiveness

We will file the New Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the date that is twenty one (21) days after the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to our stockholders. Upon the filing of the New Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the New Certificate will become effective and will become our governing charter document.

ACTION NO. 3: APPROVE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Our Board has determined it is in our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders to effect a reverse stock split at any time prior to November 9, 2006 based upon an exchange ratio not to exceed twenty five (25) shares to one (1) share (the “Reverse Split”).

Consequences of the Reverse Split

The effect of such Reverse Split may increase the trading price of our common stock and could therefore create greater investor interest in our common stock and possibly enhance the marketability of our common stock to the financial market. In addition, the reduction in the number of outstanding shares, together with the increased number of authorized shares, as discussed above, will provide us with additional authorized but unissued shares which could be used for future acquisitions or mergers or to otherwise carry out our business objectives. We do not currently have any specific plans for the issuance of the additional shares of common stock that will be made available as a result of the Reverse Split.

Although the Reverse Split may increase the market price of our common stock, the actual effect of the Reverse Split on the market price cannot be predicted. The market price of the common stock may not rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares outstanding as a result of the Reverse Split. Further, there is no assurance that the Reverse Split will lead to a sustained increase in the market price of the common stock. The market price of the common stock may also change as a result of other unrelated factors, including our operating performance and other factors related to our business as well as general market conditions. The Reverse Split will affect all of the holders of our stock uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in us or proportionate voting power, except for minor changes that will result from the rounding of fractional shares, as discussed below.

To help you understand how the Reverse Split will affect: (i) our outstanding common stock, (ii) the shares of common stock we have reserved for issuance upon exercise of warrants and options or conversion of preferred stock, and (iii) our authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock, we have summarized four potential Reverse Split scenarios below. The following scenarios assume that our New Certificate will have been filed at the time of the Reverse Split and that at the time of the Reverse Split, we will have: (i) 60,448,875 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, (ii) 451,923,872 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options and the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, and (iii) 137,627,253 shares of authorized common stock unreserved and unissued.

If the Board were to effect the Reverse Split at a ratio of five (5) to one (1), immediately after the effective date of such Reverse Split, we would have 12,017,275 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 90,384,774 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options and the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, and 547,597,951 shares of authorized but unreserved and unissued common stock.

If the Board were to effect the Reverse Split at a ratio of ten (10) to (1), immediately after the effective date of such Reverse Split, we would have 6,008,638 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 45,192,387 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options and the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, and 598,798,975 shares of authorized but unreserved and unissued common stock.

If the Board were to effect the Reverse Split at a ratio of twenty (20) to one (1), immediately after the effective date of such Reverse Split, we would have 3,004,319 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 22,596,194 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options and the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, and 624,399,487 shares of authorized but unreserved and unissued common stock.

9

If the Board were to effect the Reverse Split at a ratio of twenty five (25) to one (1), immediately after the effective date of such Reverse Split, we would have 2,403,455 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 18,076,955 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options and the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, and 629,519,590 shares of authorized but unreserved and unissued common stock.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares that is not evenly divisible by the Reverse Split ratio selected by the Board will receive one (1) additional share of the IT&E Delaware common stock in lieu of such fractional share.

Registered and Beneficial Stockholders

Upon a Reverse Split, we intend to treat stockholders holding our common stock in “street name,” through a bank, broker, or other nominee, in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders holding our common stock in “street name.” However, these banks, brokers, or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Split. If you hold your shares with a bank, broker or other nominee, and if you have any questions in this regard, we encourage you to contact your nominee.

Accounting Matters

The Reverse Split will not affect the par value of our common stock. As a result, as of the effective time of the Reverse Split, the stated capital attributable to the common stock on our balance sheet will be reduced proportionately based on the Reverse Split ratio selected by our Board, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per-share net income or loss and net book value of our common stock will be restated because there will be fewer shares of our common stock outstanding.

Procedure for Effecting the Reverse Split

If the Board decides to implement the Reverse Split at any time after the date the New Certificate is filed but prior to November 9, 2006, we will promptly file a Certificate of Amendment to our New Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in the form attached hereto as Appendix “D” to amend the New Certificate with a provision effecting the Reverse Split. If our Board determines the Reverse Split ratio and decides to implement the Reverse Split prior to the date on which the New Certificate is filed, we will include a provision in the New Certificate that will effect the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split will become effective at the discretion of our Board (the “Reverse Split Effective Date”), however no later than November 9, 2006. The Reverse Split will take place on the Reverse Split Effective Date without any further action on the part of shareholders. Beginning on the Effective Date, each certificate representing pre-Reverse Split shares will be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of post-Reverse Split shares.

IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR SHAREHOLDERS TO EXCHANGE THEIR EXISTING STOCK CERTIFICATES FOR STOCK CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF STOCK EACH HOLDER IS ENTITLED TO RECEIVE AS A RESULT OF THE REVERSE SPLIT.

10

No Appraisal Rights

Under the DGCL, our stockholders will not be entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Reverse Split. Furthermore, we do not intend to independently provide stockholders with any such rights.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split

The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split, does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the possible federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split and is included for general information only. Further, it does not address any state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences. Also, it does not address the tax consequences to holders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, nonresident alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities. The discussion is based on the provisions of the United States federal income tax as of the date hereof, which is subject to change retroactively as well as prospectively. This summary also assumes that the pre-Reverse Split shares were, and the post-Reverse Split shares will be, held as a “capital asset,” as defined in the Code (i.e., generally, property held for investment). The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder. Each stockholder is urged to consult with such stockholder’s own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the Reverse Split. As used herein, the term United States holder means a stockholder that is, for federal income tax purposes: a citizen or resident of the United States; a corporation or other entity taxed as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia; an estate the income of which is subject to federal income tax regardless of its source; or a trust if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

No gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon such stockholder’s exchange of pre-Reverse Split shares for post-Reverse Split shares pursuant to the Reverse Split. The aggregate tax basis of the post-Reverse Split shares received in the Reverse Split will be the same as the stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the pre-Reverse Split shares exchanged therefore. The stockholder’s holding period for the post-Reverse Split shares will include the period during which the stockholder held the pre-Reverse Split shares surrendered in the Reverse Split.

Our view regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Split is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts.

ACCORDINGLY, WE URGE EACH STOCKHOLDER TO CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF THE REVERSE SPLIT.

ACTION NO. 4: CREATION OF SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK

In connection with our recent private placement which resulted in gross proceeds to us of approximately $11,500,000 (the “Private Placement”), our Board and shareholders have approved the creation of a Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and have adopted the Certificate of Designations attached to this Information Statement as Appendix “E” (the “Certificate of Designations”). The Certificate of Designations sets forth the rights, preferences and privileges of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”). For a summary of such rights, preferences and privileges, please see the table at the end of this Action No. 4 below. Pursuant to a covenant in the Securities Purchase Agreement (defined below) we have agreed to file, and intend to file, the Certificate of Designations on the date that is twenty one (21) days after the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to our shareholders.

In connection with the Private Placement, our Board has authorized the issuance of up to 16,500 shares of such Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock, when issued as described below, will be senior in rights, preferences and privileges to the shares of our common stock as set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Please see the subsection below entitled, “How the Issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock will Affect our Existing Shareholders,” for more information related to the preferences and privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock.

In addition, we have attached hereto as Appendix “F” certain of our historical financial statements, together with certain historical financial statements of Millennix, Inc. and certain pro forma financial information related to both companies which are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference and are a part of this Information Statement. These financial statements may include information that is material to you with regard to the actions described in this Information Statement.

Background of the Private Financing

For approximately twelve months prior to the closing of the Private Placement, we had been exploring various financing alternatives in order to enable us to fund our growth and acquisition strategy. We originally intended to identify one or more lenders and to enter into a loan or credit facility to finance such growth and acquisition strategy; however, we were unable to identify a lender who would lend us funds on terms that were acceptable to us.

In July, 2005, we were first introduced to ComVest Investment Partners II, LLC (“ComVest”) by our existing lender, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. We had no prior relationship with ComVest. Between July, 2005, and November, 2005, ComVest undertook a due diligence investigation of our Company, its operations and financial condition. Once ComVest had completed its due diligence investigation, it proposed a potential preferred stock financing based on its valuation of our Company. Thereafter, we negotiated the terms of their proposal, including ComVest’s proposed valuation, at arms-length. The agreed upon valuation resulted in an effective price per share of $0.07, notwithstanding that the price per share of our common stock on the date of the first closing, November 9, 2005, was $0.17 per share. In addition, ComVest’s proposal included a provision whereby we would also issue to the new investors warrants to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the new preferred stock at an exercise price equal to $0.10 per share, notwithstanding that the price per share of our common stock on November 9, 2005 was $0.17 per share. The exercise price of $0.10 per share was intended to be thirty percent greater than the effective price per share of the new preferred stock, or $0.07, which was based on ComVest’s valuation of our Company.

In addition, ComVest’s proposal required that we (i) repay all of our outstanding debt and terminate any existing security agreement with any lender such that the holders of our newly created preferred stock would be senior to all of our other outstanding securities with respect to liquidation preference, and

12

(ii) consummate the acquisition of the Millennix assets concurrently with the closing of the preferred stock financing. ComVest’s proposal also required that the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock be entitled to elect five (5) of our seven (7) directors, which required that one (1) of our existing directors resign from our Board.

Our Board considered ComVest’s proposal together with all other factors it deemed relevant to the decision, including, without limitation, the Company’s growth and acquisition strategy, financial position, financing alternatives and the substantial dilution that would result to our existing shareholders and determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to proceed with an equity financing along the lines proposed by ComVest because it enabled us to enter into a relationship with an investor whose interests were more aligned with the interests of our shareholders in general and provided us with greater access to capital to further our acquisition strategy; provided, however, that because we did not yet have sufficient shares of preferred stock authorized to complete such a preferred stock financing, we proposed to issue and sell convertible notes that would automatically convert into such newly created preferred stock at such time as this preferred stock was duly authorized by our shareholders. In addition, it was determined that Anthony Allocca would resign from our board to create five (5) vacancies on our Board and that Mr. Allocca would continue on in his capacity as one of our officers.

Approximately one week prior to the initial closing, ComVest introduced us to each of the other two new investors, Mr. McCall and Mr. Dontzin. We had no prior relationship with either of such individuals. Two entities affiliated with Mr. McCall are also investors in ComVest with an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 1.8%. Mr. Dontzin is also an investor in ComVest with an ownership interest of approximately 0.9%.  Neither Mr. McCall nor Mr. Dontzin have any management role with ComVest.

The Private Placement and the Issuance of our Series D Preferred Stock

On November 9, 2005, we issued and sold senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “Senior Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $7,000,000 to certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”) and warrants to purchase an additional 49,999,985 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 9, 2005 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). On December 22, 2005, we held a second closing at which we issued an additional Senior Note in the aggregate principal amount of $4,500,000 and a warrant to purchase an additional 32,142,847 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The Senior Notes automatically convert into a number of shares of our Series D Preferred Stock equal to the total outstanding principal amount under all issued and outstanding Senior Notes divided by $1,000 upon the filing of the Certificate of Designations. The shares of Series D Preferred Stock will be issued to the Purchasers as follows:  (i) ComVest will receive 10,300 shares; (ii) Charles McCall will receive 1,000 shares; and (iii) Matthew Dontzin will receive 200 shares.

In addition, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we granted ComVest the right to invest up to an additional $5,000,000 (the “ComVest Option”) at any time prior to May 9, 2006. If ComVest chooses to exercise the ComVest Option prior to the filing of the Certificate of Designations, ComVest will receive an additional Senior Note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 and if ComVest chooses to exercise the ComVest Option in full after the Certificate of Designations has been filed, ComVest will be issued 5,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. If ComVest exercises the ComVest Option, it will also be issued an additional warrant to purchase 35,714,275 of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.

How the Issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock Will Affect our Existing Shareholders

As noted above, the Series D Preferred Stock, when issued, will be senior in rights, preferences and privileges to the shares of our outstanding common stock. In particular, the holders of our Series D

13

Preferred Stock will (i) have a liquidation preference in the event of a “liquidation event” (defined below), (ii) have certain voting rights with respect to the election of directors and other material transactions, and (iii) have effective voting control of all outstanding capital stock.

The Liquidation Preference

With respect to our Series D Preferred Stock, a liquidation preference means that upon a “liquidation event,” the holders of our Series D Preferred Stock will receive $1,000 per share of Series D Preferred Stock then held by such holder from the proceeds of such “liquidation event” before the holders of our common stock receive any of the proceeds from such “liquidation event.”  For example, if a “liquidation event” were to occur immediately after the filing of the Certificate of Designations, and assuming all 16,500 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were then outstanding, the holders of our Series D Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive an aggregate of $16,500,000 from the proceeds of such “liquidation event” before the holders of our common stock were to receive any of the proceeds from such “liquidation event.”  Therefore, if the value of our assets were approximately the same on the date of such “liquidation event” as they are on the date of this Information Statement, the holders of our common stock would not be entitled to receive any proceeds from such “liquidation event.”  Further, assuming the value of our assets was in excess of $16,500,000 at the time of such “liquidation event,” our common stockholders would have to share any such remaining proceeds in excess of $16,500,000 with the holders of our Series D Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis and as if such shares of Series D Preferred Stock had converted into common stock immediately prior to such “liquidation event.”  For purposes of our Series D Preferred Stock, a “liquidation event” means (i) our liquidation, dissolution or winding up; (ii) our involvement in a bankruptcy action or our admission of our inability to pay our debts as they become due; (iii) a merger or consolidation where our existing shareholders do not retain more than 50% of our voting power or interest; (iv) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets; or (v) the acquisition of 50% or more of our voting power or interest by a single person or group.

Rights with Respect to the Election of Directors and Protective Provisions

The holders of Series D Preferred Stock will also have the right to elect a five (5) out of seven (7) members of our Board. Our common stockholders will have the right to elect the remaining two (2) directors. Additionally, we may not, once the shares of Series D Preferred Stock are issued, without the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, take certain actions, including, without limitation: (i) altering, amending or repealing the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock; (ii) altering, amending or repealing our certificate of incorporation or bylaws in a manner that would adversely affect the voting power or any other rights, preferences or privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock; (iii) creating any securities senior in rights, preferences or privileges to the Series D Preferred Stock; and (iv) creating any securities equal in rights, preferences or privileges to the Series D Preferred Stock.

Effective Voting Control

The holders of our Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote on all matters presented to the holders of our common stock on an as-if-converted to common stock basis. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock will initially be convertible into 14,285.71 shares of our common stock.  As a result, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock will initially be entitled to 235,714,215 votes, or 79.69% of the voting power, when voting together with the common stock as a single class on any action to be voted upon by the holders of our capital stock.

Use of Proceeds from the Private Financing

Repayment of the Laurus Note

We used approximately $5,000,000 of the proceeds received in the Private Placement and the sale of the Senior Notes to repay Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) all outstanding amounts owed under a Secured Convertible Term Note dated October 18, 2004 (the “Laurus Note”). We had intended to use the proceeds of the Laurus Note, which bore interest at rate equal to the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus 2.5%, for working capital and potential acquisitions. While we could have used such proceeds to consummate the Millennix acquisition described below, our Board determined that repaying the Laurus Note and entering into the Private Placement was in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders because it enabled us to enter into a relationship with an investor whose interests were more aligned with the interests of our shareholders in general and provided us with greater access to capital to further our acquisition strategy.

Acquisition of Millennix, Inc.

Additionally, approximately $1,200,000 of the proceeds received in the sale of the Senior Notes was used to acquire substantially all of the assets of Millennix, Inc. (“Millennix”). Of such amount, approximately $78,000 represents a loan repaid on behalf of Millennix to The Bank of New York pursuant to a Promissory Note dated March 29, 2002, which bore interest at the prime rate, as publicly announced from time to time by The Bank of New York, plus 1%. In addition to the cash portion of the purchase price for the assets of Millennix, we also issued 10,416,667 shares of our common stock to Dr. Gene Resnick, the sole shareholder of Millennix, and assumed certain debts of Millennix in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $800,000.

We are also obligated to pay a possible additional $1,400,000 in cash (“Millennix Earnout”), contingent upon the achievement of certain earnout milestones. We currently contemplate that we will pay the Millennix Earnout using our available working capital, some of which may, but will not necessarily, include proceeds received from the sale of the Senior Notes.

Millennix provides comprehensive clinical research services for Phase I through Phase IV clinical trials, with a focus in oncology and other complex medical conditions. Millennix also assists its clients with strategic and regulatory planning, as well as protocol development, investigator qualification and recruitment, study implementation and management, and data management. Millennix’s clients include large pharmaceutical companies and smaller pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. As such, the primary component of the assets we acquired from Millennix was the various service agreements Millennix has entered into with its various clients related to the conduct of their respective clinical trials and the Millennix expertise and personnel. We had no relationship with Millennix prior to the acquisition of the Millennix assets.

We intend to operate Millennix as a division of our Company. Our Millennix division will continue to be located in Purchase, New York. We have hired each of the employees of Millennix who was an employee of Millennix immediately prior to the acquisition. In addition, we intend to integrate our sales operations as well as our internal control systems and certain other information technology. To date, we have not encountered any material difficulty in integrating such aspects of the two companies; however, the integration process is still at a very early stage.

Remaining Proceeds from the Private Placement

The remaining proceeds received from the sale of the Senior Notes, including those received in connection with the exercise of the ComVest Option, if any, shall be used as working capital and for potential future acquisitions. At this time, however, we have not identified any such potential future

15

acquisition candidates for which we would use such funds. We expect the funds received in the Private Placement to be sufficient to fund our operations through at least December 31, 2006.

Summary of the Terms of the Series D Preferred Stock

The following is a summary of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock.

ACTION NO. 5: APPROVE AMENDMENT TO COMPANY’S 2005 EQUITY INVENTIVE PLAN

Our Board has adopted, and the shareholders have approved, an amendment to the IT&E International Group 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), under which employees, consultants and directors may receive grants of stock options, restricted stock awards and stock bonuses (collectively, “Stock Awards”) to increase the maximum number of shares that have been reserved for issuance under the Plan from 7,500,000 to 25,000,000. The principal features of the Plan are summarized below. Such summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix “G” to this Information Statement.

Terms and Conditions of the Plan

We believe that our ability to award incentive compensation based on equity in us is critical to our success in remaining competitive and attracting, motivating and retaining key personnel. The efforts and skill of our employees and other personnel who provide services to us generate much of the growth and success of our business. We believe that a broad-based equity incentive program will help us to be highly successful in motivating and rewarding the efforts of our employees and other valuable personnel. By giving our employees, consultants and directors an opportunity to share in the growth of our equity, we will be aligning their interests with those of our shareholders. Our employees, consultants and directors understand that their stake in our Company will have value only if, working together, we create value for our shareholders. We anticipate that awards under the Plan will generally vest over a period of four years with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remainder of the options vesting in equal monthly installments over the remaining three years, giving the recipient an additional incentive to provide services over a number of years and build on past performance. However, individual vesting schedules will be determined at the discretion of our Board. We believe that, if approved, the Plan will continue to help us to build a team of high achievers who have demonstrated long-term dedication and productivity and who, in turn, help us to attract like-minded individuals to our Company.

Number of Shares

Under the Plan, as amended, 25,000,000 new shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under awards. Any shares that are represented by Stock Awards under the Plan that expire or otherwise terminate without being exercised in full will again be available for awards under the Plan.

The Plan imposes the following additional maximum limitations:

·       The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Stock Awards, together with the total number of shares of common stock provided for under any other stock bonus or similar plan, may not exceed the applicable limitations set forth in Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations.

·       The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant) of common stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by any participant during any calendar year under all our equity compensation plans and those of our affiliates (including the Plan) may not exceed $100,000.

The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan are subject to adjustment to reflect certain potential subsequent changes to our capital structure, such as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations.

Administration

The Plan will be administered by our Board, unless the Board decides to delegate administration of the Plan to a committee of the Board. Any such delegation may be made only to the extent permitted by

18

our bylaws and applicable laws and regulations. The Board will have full power to administer the Plan and the decisions of the Board will be final and binding upon all participants.

Eligibility

The selection of the participants in the Plan will generally be determined by the Board. Employees, including those who are our officers, or directors or officers or directors of our subsidiaries and affiliates, are eligible to be selected to receive awards under the Plan. In addition, non-employee service providers, including directors, and employees of unaffiliated entities that provide bona fide services to us as a consultant are eligible to be selected to receive awards under the Plan. Members of the Board are eligible for and are expected to receive grants of awards under the Plan for their services as directors.

Types of Awards

The Plan allows for the grant of stock options, restricted stock awards and stock bonuses. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Board will determine the terms and conditions of awards, including the times when awards vest or become payable and the effect of certain events such as termination of employment. Each grant of a Stock Award will be evidenced by an award agreement.

Stock Options.   The Board may grant either incentive stock options intended to qualify as such under Section 422 of the Code, or options not intended to so qualify (“nonstatutory options”). All incentive stock options granted under the Plan must generally have an exercise price that is at least equal to the fair market value of our underlying common stock on the grant date. All nonstatutory options granted under the Plan must generally have an exercise price that is at least equal to eighty five percent (85%) of the fair market value of our underlying common stock on the grant date. The closing price per share of our common stock as of November 9, 2005, as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board, was $0.17. No stock option granted under the Plan may have a term longer than ten (10) years. All or part of any option award may be subject to conditions and restrictions, which the Board will specify. The exercise price of stock options may be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, (i) in cash; (ii) by tendering shares of our common stock that have been held by the optionee for at least six (6) months; (iii) or, pursuant to a “cashless exercise” program developed under Regulation T promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board.

Restricted Stock Awards.   The Board may grant awards of restricted common stock for a purchase price of not less than eighty five percent (85%) of the fair market value of our common stock on the date such award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated. All or part of any restricted stock award may be subject to conditions and restrictions, which the Board will specify.

Stock Bonus Awards.   The Board may grant stock bonus awards, which are awards of our common stock in consideration for past services actually rendered to us or a parent or subsidiary. All or part of any stock bonus award may be subject to conditions and restrictions, which the Board will specify.

Change of Control

The Board may determine, in its discretion, whether an award issued under the Plan will become vested or exercisable, either in whole or in part, upon a change in control (as defined in the Plan). Any rights which a participant may have upon a change in control will be set forth in the applicable award agreement.

Transferability of Awards

Awards granted under the Plan are not transferable, other than by will or pursuant to state intestate laws, unless the Board otherwise approves a transfer.

19

Amendment; Term and Termination

The Board may alter or amend the Plan or any Stock Award in any manner at any time. However, no amendment to the Plan will be effective unless approved by our shareholders, to the extent such approval is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan will terminate on the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by our shareholders, whichever is earlier.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following summary is intended only as a general guide to the United States federal income tax consequences under current law of incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options, which are authorized for grant under the Plan. It does not attempt to describe all possible federal or other tax consequences of participation in the Plan, tax consequences of all of the types of awards which may be granted under the Plan, or tax consequences based on particular circumstances. The tax consequences may vary if options are granted outside the United States.

Incentive Stock Options

An option holder recognizes no taxable income for regular income tax purposes as a result of the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option qualifying under Section 422 of the Code. Option holders who dispose of the shares acquired under an incentive stock option after two years following the date the option was granted and after one year following the exercise of the option will normally recognize a capital gain or loss upon a sale of the shares equal to the difference, if any, between the sale price and the purchase price of the shares. If an option holder satisfies such holding periods upon a sale of the shares, we will not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes. If an option holder disposes of shares within two years after the date of grant or within one year after the date of exercise (a “disqualifying disposition”), the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date and the option exercise price (not to exceed the gain realized on the sale if the disposition is a transaction with respect to which a loss, if sustained, would be recognized) will be taxed as ordinary income at the time of disposition. Any gain in excess of that amount will be a capital gain. If a loss is recognized, there will be no ordinary income, and such loss will be a capital loss. Any ordinary income recognized by the option holder upon the disqualifying disposition of the shares generally will result in a deduction by us for federal income tax purposes.

Nonstatutory Stock Options

Options not designated or qualifying as incentive stock options will be non-qualified stock options having no special tax status. An optionee generally recognizes no taxable income as the result of the grant of such an option. Upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the optionee normally recognizes ordinary income in the amount of the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date. If the optionee is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of stock acquired by the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the exercise date, will be taxed as a capital gain or loss. No tax deduction is available to us with respect to the grant of a non-qualified stock option or the sale of the stock acquired pursuant to such grant. We generally should be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee as a result of the exercise of a non-qualified stock option.

20

Other Considerations

The Code allows publicly-held corporations to deduct compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to the corporation’s chief executive officer and its four other most highly compensated executive officers in office at the end of the tax year if the compensation is payable solely based on the attainment of one or more performance goals and certain statutory requirements are satisfied. We intend for compensation arising from grants of awards under the Plan which are based on performance goals to be deductible by us as performance-based compensation not subject to the $1,000,000 limitation on deductibility.

Awards under the Plan

Options granted under the Plan will be granted at the discretion of the Board, and, accordingly, are not yet determinable. Benefits under the Plan will depend on a number of factors, including the fair market value of our common stock on future dates, and actual Company performance against performance goals established with respect to performance awards, if any. Consequently, other than the options described below, it is not possible to determine the benefits that might be received by participants under the Plan.

As of December 31, 2005, we have previously granted options to purchase 17,475,473 shares of common stock under the Plan, to certain persons as follows:

No options have been exercised and no restricted stock awards or stock bonus awards have been granted.

IT&E Delaware will adopt and assume IT&E International Group’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and each outstanding option granted pursuant thereto at the effective time of the Reincorporation.

21

ACTION NO. 6: APPOINT DIRECTORS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

On November 9, 2005, Anthony Allocca resigned as a member of our Board, leaving five (5) vacancies on the Board. Mr. Allocca’s resignation was voluntary and was necessary in order to enable the holders of our Series D Preferred Stock to ultimately designate five (5) of the seven (7) members of our Board. Mr. Allocca’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with us or any of our policies and he continues on as one of our officers and employees.

The sitting members of our Board appointed Michael Falk and Cecilio Rodriguez to the Board to fill two (2) existing vacancies on our Board. A majority of our shareholders then ratified the appointment of Mr. Falk and Mr. Rodriguez to our Board. In addition, a majority of our shareholders appointed Robert D. Tucker to fill one (1) of the additional existing vacancies on our Board, subject only to the expiration of the applicable waiting period prescribed by Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act. At the expiration of such waiting period, Mr. Tucker’s appointment will become effective and we will have two (2) remaining vacancies on our Board. The two (2) remaining vacancies will be filled by designees of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock at such time as such holders identify such candidates.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, our Board held five (5) meetings. During the 2005 fiscal year, no director attended fewer than seventy five percent (75%) of the number of meetings of the Board held during the period such director served on the Board.

On October 31, 2005, our Board established an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee.

Our Board has not established a nominating committee. Each member of our Board participates in the consideration of nominees for our Board. Our Board does not have a formal policy with respect to consideration of director candidates recommended by our security holders, but will consider such candidates. Our Board feels that it is appropriate not to have such a formal policy because of the small size of our Board and Company. Any shareholder may make recommendations to our Board for membership on the Board by sending a written statement of the qualifications of the recommended individual to: IT&E International Group, Chief Executive Officer, 505 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite 200, Solana Beach, California 92075. Such recommendations should be received no later than sixty (60) days prior to the annual meeting for which the shareholder wishes his or her recommendation to be considered. The Board will evaluate candidates recommended by shareholders on the same basis as it evaluates other candidates.

In evaluating potential candidates for membership on our Board, our Board may consider such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include judgment, skill, diversity, integrity, experience with businesses and other organizations of comparable size, the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other Board members and the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees of the Board. While the Board has not established any specific minimum qualifications for director nominees, the Board believes that demonstrated leadership, as well as significant years of service, in an area of endeavor such as business, law, public service, related industry or academia, is a desirable qualification for service as a member of our Board.

Audit Committee

Our Board has established an Audit Committee and has adopted an Audit Committee Charter which is attached hereto as Appendix “H”. The Audit Committee advises and makes recommendations to the Board concerning our internal controls, our independent auditors and other matters relating to our financial activities and reporting. The Audit Committee is comprised of Cecilio Rodriguez and Peter

24

Sollenne. Mr. Rodriguez is our Audit Committee financial expert. Mr. Rodriguez is not “independent” pursuant to the definition of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers’ listing standards because Mr. Rodriguez is an affiliate of ComVest and ComVest Advisors LLC both of which have received advisory or other compensatory fees in connection with the sale of the Senior Notes and financial advisory services provided to us, respectively. Mr. Sollenne is also not “independent” pursuant to the definition of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers’ listing standards based on Mr. Sollenne’s position as one of our executive officers.

Compensation Committee

Our Board has established a Compensation Committee and has adopted a Compensation Committee Charter. The Compensation Committees advises and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the compensation of directors, officers and senior management. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Michael Falk, Robert D. Tucker and Kelly Alberts. Mr. Tucker is the chair of the Compensation Committee.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and holders of more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and our other equity securities. Directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent (10%) shareholders are required by Commission regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, we believe that all reporting requirements under Section 16(a) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 were met in a timely manner by our directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners, except for the following: (i) Gene Resnick, M.D. was late in filing reports on Form 3 and Form 4 for transactions that occurred on November 9, 2005; (ii) Kelly Alberts was late in filing a report on Form 4 for transactions that occurred on April 29, 2005, September 26, 2005, October 31, 2005 and November 9, 2005; (iii) Anthony Allocca was late in filing a report on Form 4 for transactions that occurred on April 29, 2005, September 26, 2005, October 31, 2005 and November 9, 2005; (iv) Peter Sollenne was late in filing a report on Form 4 for transactions that occurred on April 29, 2005, September 26, 2005, October 31, 2005, November 1, 2005 and November 9, 2005; (v) David Vandertie was late in filing a report on Form 4 for transactions that occurred on April 29, 2005, September 26, 2005 and November 9, 2005; and (vi) ComVest was late in filing a report on Form 4 for transactions that occurred on December 22, 2005.

Indemnification

Our New Certificate and bylaws include provisions that allow us to indemnify our directors and officers for actions taken in such capacity, if the actions were taken in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in our best interests and, in a criminal proceeding, the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A director or officer who is successful in defending a claim will be indemnified for all expenses incurred in connection with his defense.

In addition, we may enter into indemnification agreements with certain of our officers and directors that require us to indemnify such persons against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), witness fees, damages, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was or at any time becomes a director, an officer or an employee of our or any of its affiliated enterprises, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interest and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

We also maintain directors and officers insurance providing indemnification for certain of our directors, officers, affiliates, partners or employees for certain liabilities.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of ours pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

29

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours  in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Change in Control of Company

At the second closing, ComVest was also issued a warrant to purchase up to 32,142,847 shares of our common stock which is immediately exercisable for a period of four (4) years at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. Subsequent to the second closing, ComVest beneficially owned approximately 78.5% of our outstanding common stock, excluding the ComVest Option.

Further, we granted ComVest an option to purchase an additional Senior Note or shares of Series D Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 which may be exercised at any time prior to May 9, 2006. If ComVest acquires a Senior Note pursuant to the ComVest Option, the Senior Note will be automatically convertible into 5,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock upon the filing of the Certificate of Designations with the relevant Secretary of State. If ComVest exercises the ComVest Option, ComVest will also be issued a warrant to purchase up to 35,714,275 shares of our common stock which will be immediately exercisable for a period of four (4) years at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.

DISSENTERS’ RIGHT OF APPRAISAL

Holders of the common stock of IT&E International that follow the appropriate procedures will be entitled to dissent from the consummation of the Reincorporation and receive payment of the fair value of their shares under Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the Nevada General Corporation Law. The following discussion summarizes the material applicable provisions of the Nevada dissenters’ rights statute. You are urged to read the full text of the Nevada dissenters’ rights statute, which is reprinted in its entirety and attached as Appendix “I” to this Information Statement. A person having a beneficial interest in shares of IT&E International’s common stock that are held of record in the name of another person, such as a bank, broker or other nominee, must act promptly to cause the record holder to follow the steps summarized below properly and in a timely manner if such person wishes to perfect any dissenters’ rights such person may have. This discussion and Appendix I should be reviewed carefully by you if you wish to exercise statutory dissenters rights or wish to preserve the right to do so, because failure to strictly comply with any of the procedural requirements of the Nevada dissenters’ rights statute may result in a termination or waiver of dissenters’ rights under the Nevada dissenters’ rights statute.

Under the Nevada dissenters’ rights statute, you have the right to dissent from the Reincorporation and demand payment of the fair value of your shares of IT&E International common stock. If you elect to dissent, you must file with IT&E International a written notice of dissent stating that you intend to demand payment for your shares of IT&E International common stock if the Reincorporation is consummated. Such written notice of dissent must be filed with IT&E International within twenty (20) days after receipt of this Information Statement. If you fail to comply with this notice requirement, you will not be entitled to dissenters’ rights. The “fair value” of the shares as used in the Nevada dissenters’ rights statute is the value of the shares immediately before the effectuation of the proposed Reincorporation, including an appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the Reincorporation unless exclusion would be inequitable.

Within ten (10) days after the effective time of the Reincorporation, IT&E International will give written notice of the effective time of the Reincorporation by certified mail to each shareholder who filed a written notice of dissent. The notice must also state where demand for payment must be sent and where share certificates shall be deposited, among other information. Within thirty (30) days following the date such notice is delivered, the dissenting shareholder must make a written demand on IT&E International for payment of the fair value of his, her or its shares and deposit his, her or its share certificates in accordance with the notice.

Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of demand for the fair value of the dissenters’ shares, IT&E International will pay each dissenter who complied with the required procedures the amount it estimates to be the fair value of the dissenters’ shares, plus accrued interest. Additionally, IT&E International shall mail to each dissenting shareholder a statement as to how fair value was calculated, a statement as to how interest was calculated, a statement of the dissenters’ right to demand payment of fair value under Nevada law, and a copy of the relevant provisions of Nevada law. A dissenting shareholder, within thirty (30) days following receipt of payment for the shares, may send IT&E International a notice containing such shareholder’s own estimate of fair value and accrued interest, and demand payment for that amount less the amount received pursuant to IT&E International’s payment of fair value to such shareholder.

35

If a demand for payment remains unsettled, IT&E International shall petition the court to determine fair value and accrued interest. If IT&E International fails to commence an action within sixty (60) days following the receipt of the shareholder’s demand, IT&E International shall pay to the shareholder the amount demanded by the shareholder in the shareholder’s notice containing the shareholder’s estimate of fair value and accrued interest.

All dissenting shareholders, whether residents of Nevada or not, must be made parties to the action and the court shall render judgment for the fair value of their shares. Each party must be served with the petition. The judgment shall include payment for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of such shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount already paid. If the court finds that the demand of any dissenting shareholder for payment was arbitrary, vexatious or otherwise not in good faith, the court may assess costs, including reasonable fees of counsel and experts, against such shareholder.

The registered owner on the books and records of the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent of any shares of stock represented by such outstanding certificate shall, until such certificate shall have been surrendered for transfer or conversion or otherwise accounted for to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, have and be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to and to receive dividends and other distributions upon the shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation represented by such outstanding certificate as provided above.

If any certificate for shares of the Surviving Corporation’s common stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, that such transfer otherwise be proper and comply with applicable securities laws and that the person requesting such transfer pay to IT&E Delaware or the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of issuance of such new certificate in a name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered or established to the satisfaction of IT&E Delaware that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d)   Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5 shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was

B-2

made, or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded.

(e)   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholders’ meeting, stockholders must provide notice as required by the regulations promulgated under the 1934 Act.

(b)   If a special meeting is properly called by any person or persons other than the Board of Directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by telegraphic or other facsimile transmission to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Secretary of the corporation. No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in such notice. The Board of Directors shall determine the time and place of such special meeting, which shall be held not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the receipt of the request. Upon determination of the time and place of the meeting, the officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of these Bylaws. Nothing contained in this paragraph (b) shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

Section 7.   Notice of Meetings   Except as otherwise provided by law, notice, given in writing or by electronic transmission, of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the place, if any, date and hour, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at any such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the corporation. Notice of the time, place, if any, and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof or by electronic transmission by such person, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by his attendance thereat in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, except when the stockholder 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. Any

B-3

stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, §§ 222, 229, 232)

Section 8.   Quorum   At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairman of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute, or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of shares of such class or classes or series present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or classes or series. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, § 216)

Section 9.   Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings   Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the chairman of the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 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 stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, § 222(c))

Section 10.   Voting Rights   For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 12 of these Bylaws, shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote or execute consents shall have the right to do so either in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with Delaware law. An agent so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from its date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, §§ 211(e), 212(b))

Section 11.   Joint Owners of Stock   If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two (2) or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if two (2) or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the

B-4

contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect:  (a) if only one (1) votes, his act binds all; (b) if more than one (1) votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one (1) votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for relief as provided in the DGCL, Section 217(b). If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of subsection (c) shall be a majority or even-split in interest. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, § 217(b))

Section 12.   List of Stockholders   The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.

In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. The list shall be open to examination of any stockholder during the time of the meeting as provided by law. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, § 219)

Section 13.   Action Without Meeting

(a)   Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required by statute to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, or by electronic transmission setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, § 228)

Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist under this Bylaw in the case of the death, removal or resignation of any director. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, § 223(a), (b))

(b)   At any time or times that the corporation is subject to §2115(b) of the CGCL, if, after the filling of any vacancy, the directors then in office who have been elected by stockholders shall constitute less than a majority of the directors then in office, then:

(b)   During such time or times that the corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on such removal; provided, however, that unless the entire Board is removed, no individual director may be removed when the votes cast against such director’s removal, or not consenting in writing to such removal, would be sufficient to elect that director if voted cumulatively at an election which the same total number of votes were cast (or, if such action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted) and the entire number of directors authorized at the time of such director’s most recent election were then being elected.

If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law,

B-14

the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

(c)   In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, § 213)

Section 38.   Registered Stockholders   The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and 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 shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

FISCAL YEAR

Section 42.   Fiscal Year   The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 43.   Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Other Agents.

(a)   Directors and Officers   The corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law; provided, however, that the corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and officers; and, provided, further, that the corporation shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under subsection (d).

(b)   Employees and Other Agents   The corporation shall have power to indemnify its employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person to such officers or other persons as the Board of Directors shall determine.

(c)   Expenses   The corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding, provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 43 or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Bylaw, no advance shall be made by the corporation to an officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the corporation, in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made  (i) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not

B-16

parties to the proceeding, even if not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

(d)   Enforcement   Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and officers under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the corporation and the director or officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Bylaw to a director or officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL or any other applicable law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an officer of the corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the corporation) for advances, the corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article XI or otherwise shall be on the corporation.

(e)   Non-Exclusivity of Rights   The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law.

(f)   Survival of Rights   The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(g)   Insurance   To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, or any other applicable law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Bylaw.

B-17

(h)   Amendments   Any repeal or modification of this Bylaw shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation.

(i)   Saving Clause   If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Bylaw that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If this Section 43 shall be invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the corporation shall indemnify each director and officer to the full extent under applicable law.

(j)   Certain Definitions   For the purposes of this Bylaw, the following definitions shall apply:

(i)    The term “proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

(ii)   The term “expenses” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding.

(iii)  The term the “corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Bylaw with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(iv)  References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or “agent” of the corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

(v)    References to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this Bylaw.

B-18

required by law, written notice to stockholders for purposes other than stockholder meetings may be sent by United States mail or nationally recognized overnight courier, or by facsimile, telegraph or telex or by electronic mail or other electronic means. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, §§ 222, 232)

(b)   Notice to Directors   Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by the method stated in subsection (a), or as provided for in Section 21 of these Bylaws.

(Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, § 222)

(d)   Methods of Notice   It shall not be necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all recipients of notice, but one permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others.

Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist under this Bylaw in the case of the death, removal, or resignation of any director.

ARTICLE VIII

(A)  Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liability, loss, judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, upon a plea of nolo contendere or equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect of any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

(B)  Undertaking. Such indemnity shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any such person so indemnified pursuant to this Article VIII. The right to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be a contract right and shall include, with respect to directors and officers, the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its disposition; provided however, that, if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, pay such expenses incurred by employees and agents of the Corporation upon such terms as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. Such indemnification and advancement of expenses shall be in addition to any other rights to which those seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise.
