Additional information regarding the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles and Amended and Restated Bylaws, including the terms thereof, is set forth in the proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”) , which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Any amendments to or repeal of this Article shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of this corporation for or with respect to an act or omission of such director occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

 

ARTICLE 8. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

8.1 Right to Indemnification. Any individual who is, was, or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in (including without limitation as a witness) any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation or that, while a director or officer, he or she is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of a proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation, to the full extent permissible by applicable law as then in effect, against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities (including without limitation any obligation to pay any judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or expense incurred with respect to the proceeding, including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by the indemnitee in connection with the proceeding, and the indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer of the corporation or a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Except as provided in Section 8.4 with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall indemnify the indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part of a proceeding) initiated by the indemnitee only if a proceeding (or part of a proceeding) was authorized or ratified by the board of directors.

 

8.2 Restrictions on Indemnification. The corporation shall not indemnify any director from or on account of: (a) any act or omission of the director finally adjudged to be intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (b) any conduct of the director finally adjudged to be in violation of Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.300 (as may hereafter be amended or supplemented relating to distributions of the corporation; or (c) any transaction with respect to which it is finally adjudged that the director personally received a benefit in money, property, or services, to which the director was not legally entitled.

 

2

 

 

8.3 Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in this paragraph shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the corporation for the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that the payment of an advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of a written undertaking, by or on behalf of the director or officer, in the form of a general unlimited obligation 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 paragraph or otherwise.

 

8.4 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim made on the corporation for indemnification under Section 8.1 or 8.3 is not paid in full by the corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, to the extent successful in whole or in part, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of bring such suit. An indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Article upon submission of a written claim to the corporation or, in an action brought to enforce a claim for an advancement of expenses, where the required undertaking has been tendered to the corporation; and thereafter the corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome the presumption that the claimant is not so entitled. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the filing of such petition that indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses to the claimant is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that the claimant is not entitled to indemnification or to the reimbursement or advancement of expenses, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant is not so entitled.

 

8.5 Nonexclusivity of Rights. Except as set forth in Section 8.4 herein, the right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any individual may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Notwithstanding any amendment or repeal of this Article, or of any amendment or repeal of any of the procedures that may be established by the board of directors pursuant to this Article, any indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the provisions of these Articles of Incorporation and those procedures with respect to any acts or omissions of the indemnitee occurring prior to the amendment or repeal.

 

8.6 Insurance, Contracts and Funding. The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability, or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such individual against such expense, liability, or loss under the Nevada Revised Statutes. Without further shareholder action, the corporation may enter into contracts with any director or officer of the corporation in furtherance of the provisions of this Article and may create a trust fund, grant a security interest, or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided in this Article.

 

3

 

 

8.7 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. From time to time by action of its board of directors, the corporation may provide to employees and agents of the corporation indemnification and payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding to the same extent provided to officers of the corporation by the provisions of this Article or pursuant to rights granted in or provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes.

 

ARTICLE 9. AUTHORITY TO AMEND ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 

The corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any of the provisions contained in these Articles of Incorporation in any manner now or hereafter permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes or by these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, and the rights of the shareholders of this corporation are granted subject to this reservation.

 

ARTICLE 10. SHAREHOLDER VOTING REQUIREMENT

FOR CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

 

To be adopted by the shareholders, an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, a plan of merger or share exchange with any other corporation, the sale, lease, exchange, or other disposition, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, by this corporation of all, or substantially all, of the corporation’s assets other than in the usual and regular course of business, or dissolution of the corporation must be approved by a majority of the votes in each voting group entitled to be cast on such mater. This Article is intended to reduce the voting requirements otherwise prescribed by the Nevada Revised Statutes with respect to the foregoing matters.

 

ARTICLE 11. SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

 

Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of shareholders of the corporation may be taken without a meeting or a vote if either: (a) the action is taken by written consent of all shareholders entitled to vote on the action; or (b) so long as the corporation is not a public company, the action is taken by written consent of shareholders holding of record, or otherwise entitled to vote, in the aggregate 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 on the action were present and voted. To the extent the Nevada Revised Statutes requires prior notice of any such action to be given to nonconsenting or nonvoting shareholders, such notice shall be given before the date on which the action becomes effective. The notice shall be in the form of a record and shall contain or be accompanied by the same material that, under the Nevada Revised Statutes, would have been required to be delivered to nonconsenting or nonvoting shareholders in a notice of meeting at which the proposed action would have been submitted for shareholder action. Such notice shall be provided in the same manner as the Bylaws or these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation require or permit other notices to shareholders to be provided.

ARTICLE II

DIRECTORS - MANAGEMENT

 

Section 1. Powers, Standard of Care.

 

1.1 Powers. Subject to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (hereinafter the “Code”), and subject to any limitations in the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation relating to action required to be approved by the Shareholders, as that term is defined in the Code, or by the outstanding shares, as that term is defined in the Code, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may delegate the management of the day-to-day operation of the business of the Corporation to a management company or other persons, provided that the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed, and all corporate powers shall be exercised, under the ultimate direction of the Board.

 

1.2 Standard of Care; Liability.

 

1.2.1 Each Director shall exercise such powers and otherwise perform such duties, in good faith, in the matters such Director believes to be in the best interests of the Corporation, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, using ordinary prudence, as a person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

 

1.2.2 In performing the duties of a Director, a Director shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in which case prepared or presented by:

 

1

 

 

(1) One or more officers or employees of the Corporation whom the Director believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented,

 

(2) Counsel, independent accountants, or other persons as to which the Director believes to be within such person’s professional or expert competence, or

 

(3) A Committee of the Board upon which the Director does not serve, as to matters within its designated authority, which committee the Director believes to merit confidence, so long as in any such case the Director acts in good faith, after reasonable inquiry when the need therefore is indicated by the circumstances and without knowledge that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted.

 

Section 2. Number and Qualification of Directors. The authorized number of Directors of the Corporation shall be not less than one nor more than 11 until changed by a duly adopted amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or by an amendment to the Bylaws. The exact number of directors may be fixed within the limits specified by resolution adopted by the vote of the majority of directors in office; but no reduction of the number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of his or her term.

 

Section 3. Election and Term of Office of Directors.

 

3.1 Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the Shareholders to hold office until the next annual meeting. If any such annual meeting of Shareholders is not held or the Directors are not elected thereat, the Directors may be elected at any special meeting of Shareholders held for that purpose. Each Director, including a Director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until a successor has been elected and qualified.

 

3.2 Except as may otherwise be provided herein, or in the Articles of Incorporation by way of cumulative voting rights, the members of the Board of Directors of this Corporation, who need not be shareholders, shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders, by the holders of shares of stock present in person or by proxy, entitled to vote in the election.

 

Section 4. Vacancies.

 

4.1 A vacancy or vacancies on the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist in the event of the death, resignation, or removal of any Director, or if the Board of Directors by resolution declares vacant the office of a Director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court or convicted of a felony, or if the authorized number of directors be increased, or if the shareholders fail, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders at which any director or directors are elected, to elect the full authorized number of directors to be voted for at the meeting.

 

4.2 Vacancies on the Board of Directors, except for a vacancy created by the removal of a Director, may be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director. Each Director so elected shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the Shareholders or until a successor has been otherwise elected and qualified.

 

2

 

 

4.3 The Shareholders may elect a Director or Directors to fill a vacancy or vacancies only if there are no Directors in office.

 

4.4 Any Director may resign, effective upon giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary, or the Board of Directors, unless the notice specifies a later time for that resignation to become effective. When one or more directors give notice of his or her or their resignation from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, the Board may fill the vacancy or vacancies to take effect when the resignation or resignations become effective, each Director so appointed to hold office during the remainder of the term of office of the resigning Director(s).

 

4.5 No reduction of the authorized number of Directors shall have the effect of removing any Director before that Director’s term of office expires.

 

Section 5. Removal of Directors.

 

5.1 The entire Board of Directors, or any individual Director, may be removed from office as provided by Section 78.335 of the Code at any special meeting of Shareholders called for such purpose by vote of the holders of two-thirds of the voting power entitling them to elect directors in place of those to be removed, subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 of Article II.

 

5.2 No Director may be removed (unless the entire Board is removed) when the votes cast against removal or not consenting in writing to such removal would be sufficient to elect such Director if voted cumulatively at an election at 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 the Director’s most recent election were then being elected; and when by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation the holders of the shares of any class or series voting as a class or series are entitled to elect one or more Directors, any Director so elected may be removed only by the applicable vote of the holders of the shares of that class or series.

 

Section 6. Place of Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at any place within or outside the state that has been designated from time to time by resolution of the Board. In the absence of such resolution, regular meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation. Special meetings of the Board shall be held at any place within or outside the state that has been designated in the notice of the meeting, or, if not stated in the notice or there is no notice, at the principal executive office of the Corporation. Any meeting, regular or special, may be held by conference telephone or similar communication equipment, so long as all Directors participating in such meeting can hear one another, and all such Directors shall be deemed to have been present in person at such meeting.

 

3

 

 

Section 7. Annual Meetings. Immediately following each annual meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Directors shall hold a regular meeting for the purpose of organization, the election of officers, and the transaction of other business. Notice of this meeting shall not be required.

Section 8. Other Regular Meetings.

 

8.1 Other regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held without call at such time as shall from time to time be fixed by the Board of Directors. Such regular meetings may be held without notice, provided the time and place of such meetings has been fixed by the Board of Directors, and further provided the notice of any change in the time of such meeting shall be given to all the Directors. Notice of a change in the determination of the time shall be given to each Director in the same manner as notice for such special meetings of the Board of Directors.

 

8.2 If said day falls upon a holiday, such meetings shall be held on the next succeeding business day thereafter.

 

Section 9. Special Meetings/Notices.

 

9.1 Special meetings of the Board of Directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board or the President or any one-third or more of the Directors in office.

In case such notice is mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four days prior to the time of holding the meeting. In case such notice is delivered personally, or by telephone or other recognized delivery service, it shall be delivered personally or by telephone or to the other recognized delivery service at least 48 hours prior to the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be communicated to either the Director or to a person at the office of the Director who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate same to the Director. The notice need not specify the purpose of the meeting, nor the place, if the meeting is to be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation.

 

Section 10. Waiver of Notice.

 

10.1 The transactions of any meeting of the Board of Directors, however called, noticed, or wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after the regular call and notice if a quorum is present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the Directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. Waivers of notice or consent need not specify the purposes of the meeting. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made part of the minutes of the meeting.

 

10.2 Notice of a meeting shall also be deemed given to any Director who attends the meeting without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice to such Director.

 

4

 

 

Section 11. Quorums. Presence of a majority of the authorized number of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except to adjourn as provided in Section 12 of this Article II. Members of the Board may participate in a meeting through use of conference telephone, video conference, or similar communications equipment, so long as all members participating in such meeting can hear one another. Participation in a meeting as permitted by the preceding sentence constitutes presence in person at such meeting. Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the Directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum was present shall be regarded as the act of the Board of Directors, unless a greater number is required by law or the Articles of Incorporation. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of Directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

 

Section 12. Adjournment. A majority of the Directors present, whether or not constituting a quorum, may adjourn any meeting to another time and place.

 

Section 13. Notice of Adjournment.
