Chagrined after years of paternal abuse, Scott Evil wants to take control of Evil Corp. from his father, Dr. Evil. Dr. Evil passed along just enough shares to Scott and his number two man, Number Two, to guarantee control to Scott Evil and Number Two as long as they vote together. Number Two, perpetually humiliated by Dr. Evils stature-impaired clone, Mini-Me, is ready to align with Scott.

Suppose Scott and Number Two want to hire as CEO A. Powers, Dr. Evils arch-nemesis, who may run the corporation into the ground given his track record of negligent decision-making. Can Scott and Number Two do this?

Alternatively, suppose Scott and Number Two simply want to spite Dr. Evil by granting his enemy, V. Kensington, an exclusive supply contract for all laser maintenance without reviewing the contractual terms. Can Scott and Number Two do this?
