Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 8, 2021, The Healing Company Inc. (the "Company" or "we") entered into share purchase agreements and share restriction agreements with investors and issued a first tranche of our Seed Preferred Shares, $0.001 par value per share (the “Seed Preferred Shares”), in the private placement described under Item 3.02 below. The disclosure set forth in Item 3.02 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

The forms of the share purchase agreements and share restriction agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The summaries of the terms of these documents contained herein are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents, which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On October 8, 2021, we entered into definitive agreements with U.S. accredited investors and non-U.S. persons to issue a first tranche of our Seed Preferred Shares in a private transaction (the “Transaction”). Under the terms of the Transaction, we agreed to sell an aggregate of 325,000 Seed Preferred Shares at $2.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $650,000.00. The Seed Preferred Shares sold in the Transaction will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), because the offer and sale of such securities did and does not involve a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, was made without any form of general solicitation to sophisticated parties, and was made with full access to any information requested by the investors regarding us and the Seed Preferred Shares.

 

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

On October 7, 2021, we filed amended and restated articles of incorporation (the "Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation") establishing the terms, rights, powers, preferences, qualifications and limitations of our Seed Preferred Shares with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

 

In case of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Seed Preferred Shares then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment will be made to the holders of common stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to 1.5 times the Seed original issue price, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon (collectively, the “Seed Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders is insufficient to pay the holders of Seed Preferred Shares the full amount to which they shall are entitled, the holders of shares of Seed Preferred Shares will share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

 

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after the payment in full of all Seed Liquidation Amount required to be paid to the holders of Seed Preferred Shares, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders will be distributed among the holders of Seed Preferred Shares and common stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been converted to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

 

At such date and time as is specified by our board of directors in connection with, but prior to, the closing of the sale of shares of our common stock to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and in connection with such offering the common stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market, (i) all outstanding Seed Preferred Shares will automatically be converted into shares of common stock on a 1:1 (i.e., one share of Seed Preferred Shares for one share of common stock) basis, and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Company.

 

To the fullest extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes and other applicable law, the holders of Seed Preferred Shares will not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the stockholders of the Company for a vote.

 

Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of our Seed Preferred Shares may be waived on behalf of all holders of Seed Preferred Shares by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least 51% of the Seed Preferred Shares then outstanding.

 

The terms of the Seed Preferred Shares are more fully described in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, which are included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein. The summaries of these terms contained herein are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On October 7, 2021, our board of directors and major shareholder approved the adoption of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, which replace our prior articles of incorporation in their entirety. Among other things, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue is 300,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of (a) 290,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share and (b) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, and establish 5,000,000 Seed Preferred Shares as a first series of such preferred stock.

 

A Certificate of Amendment was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on October 7, 2021. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation are included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

On October 7, 2021, our board of directors and major shareholder approved the adoption of our amended and restated bylaws, which have been updated in line with the changes to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, replace our prior bylaws in their entirety and are included as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS

 

Section 2.1 Place of Meetings. Subject to Section 2.2 below, all meetings of stockholders, for any purpose, may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Nevada, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. The place of each such meeting shall be stated in the notice of meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.

 

Section 2.2 Remote Communications. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in any manner permitted by Nevada law. Such means of remote communication include participation by telephone conference or similar method of communication so long as the Corporation has implemented reasonable measures (i) to verify the identity of each person participating through such means as a stockholder and (ii) provide the stockholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to communicate, and to read or hear the proceedings of the meetings in a substantially concurrent manner with such proceedings. Participation in such meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

 

Section 2.3 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on the day and at the time set by the Board of Directors and designated in the notice thereof. A majority of the Board of Directors shall have authority to set the agenda for the annual meeting and to establish the deadline by which requests for the addition of items to the agenda shall be received. A majority of the Board of Directors may grant such requests. At the annual meeting, the stockholders shall elect, by a plurality vote, members of the Board of Directors (each such member, a “Director” and collectively, the “Directors”) and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Directors are elected by written consent of the stockholders in accordance with Section 2.11 of these Bylaws (as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, and in accordance with the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation as then in effect and applicable law, the “Bylaws”) and NRS 78.320, an annual meeting of stockholders shall not be required to be called or held for such year for such purpose, but the Board of Directors may call and notice an annual meeting for any other purpose or purposes.

Section 2.4 List of Stockholders. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote for the election of Directors of the Corporation, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder, and the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of election during the whole time thereof and be subject to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present.

 

The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided, that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal place of business. 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. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication as permitted under Section 2.2 above, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

 

Section 2.5 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation, may be called by the President and shall be called by the President or Secretary at the request, in writing, of a majority of the Board of Directors, or at the request, in writing, of stockholders entitled to exercise a majority of the voting power of the Corporation. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. If any person(s) other than the Board of Directors calls a special meeting, the request shall:

 

(a) be in writing;

 

(b) specify the time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted; and

 

(c) be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by facsimile transmission to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the President or the Secretary of the Corporation.

Such written notice must be signed by the Corporation’s President, a Vice President, the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary or by such other natural person or persons as the Bylaws may prescribe or permit, or as the Board of Directors may designate. In addition, such written notice shall include the following:

(c) the place where the meeting will be held; and

 

(d) if participation by means of telephone conference or similar methods of communication is going to be permitted for such meeting, the notice shall include a statement to that effect, including instructions as to how a stockholder may so participate.

 

Such written notice shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting. Such written notice shall be delivered in accordance with NRS 78.370 and Article V below.

 

Section 2.7 Limitation on Business. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

 

Section 2.8 Quorum. Stockholders of the Corporation holding at least a majority of the voting power of the Corporation, present in person or represented by proxy, regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation. If, however, a quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

 

Section 2.9 Voting Required for Action. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the Corporation present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or an express agreement in writing, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Voting for directors shall be in accordance with Section 2.3 above.

 

Except as may be otherwise provided in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder that has voting power upon the matter in question. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and, unless otherwise required by Nevada law, need not be conducted by inspectors of election unless so determined by the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes that could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon that are present in person or by proxy at such meeting. If authorized by the Board of Directors, such requirement of a written ballot shall be satisfied by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission (as defined in Section 5.2 below); provided, that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxy holder.

Section 2.10 Proxies. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or in a Certificate of Designation or similar document filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada in accordance with NRS 78.1955, each stockholder shall, at every meeting of the stockholders, be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of stock having voting power held by such stockholder, but, pursuant to NRS 78.355, no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of six months from the date of its execution unless (a) coupled with an interest, or (b) the person executing it specifies therein the length of time for which it is to be continued in force, which in no case shall exceed seven years from the date of its execution.

 

Section 2.11 Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power, except that if any greater proportion of voting power is required for such action at a meeting, then such greater proportion of written consents shall be required. In no instance where action is authorized by written consent need a meeting of stockholders be called or notice given.

 

Unless otherwise prohibited by the NRS, an electronic transmission (as defined in Section 5.2 below) consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxy holder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxy holder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for purposes of this section; provided, that any such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine (a) that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxy holder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxy holder and (b) the date on which such stockholder or proxy holder or authorized person or persons transmitted such electronic transmission.

 

In the event that the Board of Directors shall have instructed the officers of the Corporation (the “Officers”) to solicit the vote or written consent of the stockholders of the Corporation, unless otherwise prohibited by the NRS, an electronic transmission of a stockholder written consent given pursuant to such solicitation may be delivered to the Secretary or the President of the Corporation or to a person designated by the Secretary or the President. The Secretary or the President of the Corporation or a designee of the Secretary or the President shall cause any such written consent by electronic transmission to be reproduced in paper form and inserted into the corporate records.

 

Section 2.12 Closing of Transfer Books/Record Date. The Board of Directors may close the stock transfer books of the Corporation for a period not exceeding sixty (60) days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders or the date for payment of any dividend or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect or for a period not exceeding sixty (60) days in connection with obtaining the consent of stockholders for any purpose. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a record date, not more than sixty (60) days or less than ten (10) days before the date of any meeting of stockholders, or the date for the payment of any dividend, or the date for the allotment of rights, or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect, or a date in connection with obtaining such consent, as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting, and any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend, or to any such allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or to give such consent, and in such case, such stockholders and only such stockholders as shall be stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to such notice of, and to vote at, such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or to receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such allotment of rights or to exercise such rights, or to give such consent, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Corporation after any such record date fixed as aforesaid.

Section 2.13 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 to hold liable for calls and assessments the person registered on its books as the owner of the shares. The Corporation 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 Nevada.

 

ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS

 

Section 3.1 Management of Business. The business of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

 

Section 3.2 Number; Election. The number of Directors that shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors, unless the Articles of Incorporation fix the number; provided, however, that the number of Directors shall be at least one (1) and no more than nine (9). The Directors shall either be elected by written consent in accordance with Section 2.11 above and NRS 78.320, or at the annual meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Sections 3.3 and 3.4 below. Each Director so elected shall hold office until such Director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such Director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Directors need not be stockholders, unless required by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If, for any reason, Directors are not elected pursuant to NRS 78.320 or at the annual meeting of the stockholders, they may be elected at a special meeting of the stockholders called and held for that purpose.

 

Section 3.3 Resignation and Vacancies. Any Director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation. A resignation is effective when the resignation is delivered unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. A resignation that is conditioned upon the Director failing to receive a specified vote for reelection as a Director may provide that it is irrevocable.

 

Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the NRS, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors may be filled by a majority of the Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, and the Directors so chosen shall hold office until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced.

 

 
5

 

 

Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws:

 

(a) Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a majority of the Directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director.

 

(b) Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more Directors by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the Directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining Director so elected.

 

If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the Corporation should have no Directors in office, then any Officer or any stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws for the sole purpose of electing Directors.

 

If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the Directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole Board of Directors (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), a court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the State of Nevada may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the voting stock at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such Directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the Directors chosen by the Directors then in office as aforesaid.

 

A Director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of such Director’s predecessor in office and until such Director’s successor is elected and qualified, or until such Director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

 

Section 3.4 Removal by Stockholders. Any Director or one or more of the incumbent Directors of the Corporation may be removed from office by a vote of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote, in which event the vacancy or vacancies so created shall be filled in accordance with Section 3.3.

 

Section 3.5 Meetings. The Board of Directors may hold meetings, both regular and special, at such locations, either within or without the State of Nevada, as the Board of Directors may determine its sole discretion.

 

Section 3.6 Annual and Regular Meetings. The first meeting of each newly-elected Board of Directors may be held immediately following, and at the time and place as, the annual meeting of stockholders or, if not so held, at such time and place as shall be fixed by such newly-elected Board of Directors. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as from time to time shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

 

 
6

 

 

Section 3.7 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called at any time by either (a) the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, (b) the President, (c) the Secretary or (d) any two (2) directors, in each case, on twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to each Director. Such notice of the time and place of any special meeting shall be:

 

(i) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone;

 

(ii) sent by U.S. first-class mail, postage prepaid;

 

(iii) sent by facsimile; or

 

(iv) sent by electronic mail,

 

in each case, directed to each Director at such Director’s address, telephone number, facsimile number or electronic mail address, as the case may be, as shown on the Corporation’s records.

 

If the notice is (x) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone, (y) sent by facsimile or (z) sent by electronic mail, it shall be delivered or sent at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is sent by U.S. mail, it shall be deposited in the U.S. mail at least four (4) days before the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice may be communicated to the Director. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting (if the meeting is to be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office) nor the purpose of the meeting.

 

Section 3.8 Quorum and Voting. A majority of the Directors then in office, at a meeting duly assembled, shall constitute a quorum of the Board of Directors for the transaction of business, and the act of the Directors constituting a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these Bylaws. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the Directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. If the Articles of Incorporation provide that one or more Directors shall have more or less than one vote per Director on any matter, every reference in these Bylaws to a majority or other proportion of Directors shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of the Directors.

 

Section 3.9 Consent Without a Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed or approved by electronic transmission by all members of the Board of Directors or of such committee, as the case may be, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

Section 3.10 Telephonic Meetings. Members of the Board of Directors or any committee designated by the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or committee by means of a telephone conference or similar methods of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in such meeting by such means constitutes presence in person at such meeting.

 

Section 3.11 Committees; Subcommittees. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors, by resolution or as set forth in these Bylaws, may designate one or more committees, which, to the extent provided in such resolution or in these Bylaws, shall have and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation. Each committee must include at least one (1) Director. Subject to the preceding sentence, and unless the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws otherwise provide, the Board of Directors may appoint natural persons who are not Directors to serve on any committee. Each committee must have the name or names as may be designated in these Bylaws or as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. Any such committee may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (a) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter (other than the election or removal of directors) expressly required by statute to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (b) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Corporation.

 

Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors as and when required.

 

Meetings and actions of committees shall be governed by, and held and taken in accordance with, the provisions of these Bylaws with such changes in the context of those bylaws as are necessary to substitute the committee and its members for the Board of Directors and its members. However:

 

(i) the time of regular meetings of committees may be determined either by resolution of the Board of Directors or by resolution of the committee;

ARTICLE V
NOTICES

 

Section 5.1 General. Except as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any notice or other communication may be given or sent by any method of delivery permitted by Nevada law. Notice to Directors may be given by facsimile or by other form of electronic transmission, including electronic mail, to an address as it appears on the Corporation’s records if (i) the sending of notice by such other media may be verified or confirmed; and (ii) contains or is accompanied by information from which the recipient can determine the date of the transmission. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

 

Section 5.2 Notice to Stockholders by Electronic Transmission. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders pursuant to the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:

 

(a) the stockholder is unable to receive by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent; and

 

 
11

 

 

(b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.

 

However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

 

An “electronic transmission” means any form or process of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper or another tangible medium that (i) is suitable for the retention, retrieval and reproduction of information by the recipient, and (ii) is retrievable and reproducible in paper form by the recipient through an automated process used in conventional commercial practice unless the sender and recipient have consented in writing to the use of the form of electronic transmission that cannot be directly reproduced in paper form, but is otherwise retrievable in perceivable form.

 

Section 5.3 Effectiveness of Notice. Except as otherwise provided by the NRS or applicable federal law, any notice or other communication, if in a comprehensible form, is effective at the earliest of the following:

 

(a) If in physical form, when it is left at the stockholder’s address as it appears on the Corporation’s records, or the Director’s residence or usual place of business;

 

(b) If mailed by U.S. mail postage prepaid and correctly addressed to a stockholder, upon deposit in the U.S. mail;

 

(c) If mailed by U.S. mail postage prepaid and correctly addressed to a Director, upon deposit in the U.S. mail, the earliest of: (i) if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, the date shown on the return receipt signed by or on behalf of the addressee; or (ii) five (5) days after it is deposited in the U.S. mail; and

 

(d) if an electronic transmission, unless otherwise agreed between the Corporation and a Director or stockholder, when: (i) it enters an information processing system that the recipient has designated or uses for the purpose of receiving electronic transmissions or information of the type sent; and (ii) it is in a form ordinarily capable of being processed by that system.

 

An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by a form of transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

 

Section 5.4 Notice to Person with Whom Communication is Unlawful. Whenever notice is required to be given under the provisions of the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. 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 or other document, 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.

 

 
12

 

 

Section 5.5 Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. Whenever all persons entitled to vote at any meeting, whether of Directors or stockholders, consent, either by:

 

(a) a writing on the records of the meeting or filed with the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation;

 

(b) presence at such meeting and oral consent entered on the minutes; or

 

(c) taking part in the deliberations at such meeting without objection,

 

then the doings of such meeting shall be as valid as if had at a meeting regularly called and noticed. At such meeting, any business may be transacted which is not excepted from the written consent or to the consideration of which no objection for want of notice is made at the time.

 

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS,
EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS

 

Section 6.1 Indemnity for Claims Not in the Name of Corporation. The Corporation must indemnify, to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law, 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 (“Proceeding”), except an action by or in the right of the Corporation (which is governed by Section 6.2 below), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director or Officer 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, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be required if it is proven his or her act, or failure to act, constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a Director or Officer, and his or her breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, making him or her liable pursuant to NRS 78.138.

 

The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

 
13

 

 

Section 6.2 Indemnity for Claims in the Name of Corporation. The Corporation must indemnify, to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law, any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director or Officer 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, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit unless it is proven his or her act, or failure to act, constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a Director or Officer, and his or her breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, making him or her liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; provided, however, that he or she acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

 

Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

Section 6.3 Indemnification of Employees and Agents. To the extent determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion and as otherwise authorized or required under Nevada law, the Articles of Incorporation and these Bylaws, the Corporation shall have the power (but not the obligation) to indemnify its employees and agents to the extent not prohibited by the NRS or other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate to such person or persons it deems appropriate the determination of whether employees or agents shall be indemnified.

 

Section 6.4 Success on Merits. To the extent that a Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify such person against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or in connection with such defense.

 

Section 6.5 Advancement of Expenses. Expenses incurred in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount, unless it is ultimately determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VI and/or Nevada law.

 

Section 6.6 Limitation on Indemnification. Subject to the requirements in Section 6.4 and Nevada law, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any person pursuant to this Article VI in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):

 

 
14

 

 

(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;

 

(b) for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

 

(c) for any reimbursement of the Corporation by such person of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by such person from the sale of securities of the Corporation, as required in each case under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Corporation pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Corporation of profits arising from the purchase and sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

 

(d) initiated by such person, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by such person against the Corporation or its Directors, Officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of Directors authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Corporation provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under applicable law or (iii) otherwise required by applicable law; or

 

(e) if prohibited by applicable law.

 

Section 6.7 Indemnity Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any Bylaw, written agreement, vote of stockholders or Directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The rights to indemnity hereunder shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, Officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

 

Section 6.8 Insurance Indemnification. The Corporation shall have the power, to the extent determined by the Board of Directors, to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by such person in such capacity or arising out of that person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify that person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI. No financial arrangement made pursuant to this Section 6.8 may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to the advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.

 

 
15

 

 

Section 6.9 Conflicts. No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Article VI, except where such indemnification or advance is mandated by law or the order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, in any circumstance where it appears: (a) that it would be inconsistent with a provision of the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of the action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or (b) that it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.

 

Section 6.10 Right to Bring Suit. If a claim under this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety (90) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation (either because the claim is denied or because no determination is made), the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. 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 NRS for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the claim. 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 permissible in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct, if any, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to such action or create a presumption for the purposes of such action that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

Section 6.11 Indemnity Agreements. The Board of Directors is authorized to enter into a written contract with any Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person who 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, including employee benefit plans, or any person who was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the Corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation, providing for indemnification rights equivalent to or, if the Board of Directors so determines and to the extent permitted by Nevada law, greater than, those provided for in this Article VI.

 

Section 6.12 Survival. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article VI shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

Section 6.13 Repeal or Modification. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article VI shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any indemnification or limitations on the personal liability of a Director or an Officer of the Corporation for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification. Further, neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VI, nor the adoption of any provision of the Articles of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VI, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VI in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim accruing or arising or that, but for this Article VI, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE VII
CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

 

Section 7.1 Certificates. Unless the Board of Directors authorizes the issuance of uncertificated shares of some or all of the shares of any or all if the Corporation’s classes or series of stock as permitted under NRS 78.235(4), every holder of stock in the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate signed in the name of the Corporation by the President and either (a) the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or (b) the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, certifying the number of shares owned by such holder in the Corporation. When such certificate is signed (i) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent or (ii) by a transfer clerk acting on behalf of the Corporation and registrar, the signature of any such President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary may be by facsimile. In case any Officer or Officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on, any such certificate or certificates, shall cease to be such Officer or Officers of the Corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the Corporation and be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon, had not ceased to be such Officer or Officers of the Corporation.

 

The Corporation may place in escrow shares issued for a contract for future services or benefits or a promissory note, or make any other arrangements to restrict the transfer of the shares. The Corporation may credit distributions made for the shares against their purchase price, until the services are performed, the benefits are received or the promissory note is paid. If the services are not performed, the benefits are not received or the promissory note is not paid, the shares escrowed or restricted and the distributions credited may be cancelled in whole or in part. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of the Corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the Corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

 

Section 7.2 Special Designation on Certificates. If the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

 

Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to these Bylaws or applicable law a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated stock and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing stock of the same class and series shall be identical.

 

 
17

 

 

Section 7.3 Lost Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issuance of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or such owner’s legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and to give the Corporation a bond or other security sufficient (as determined by the Corporation) to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

 

Section 7.4 Transfers of Stock. Transfers of record of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be made only upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by an attorney duly authorized, and, if such stock is certificated, upon the surrender of a certificate or certificates for a like number of shares, properly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer. Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.

Annex A

 

Terms of the Purchased Shares

 

PREFERRED STOCK.

 

Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to consist of such number of shares and to have such terms, rights, powers and preferences, and the qualifications and limitations with respect thereto, as stated or expressed herein. The first series of Preferred Stock shall be designated “Seed Preferred Shares” and shall consist of 5,000,000 shares, which Preferred Stock shall be entitled and subject to the following rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “sections” or “subsections” in this Annex refer to sections and subsections of this Annex.

 

1. Dividends. The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in the Articles of Incorporation) the holders of the Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the dividend payable on each outstanding share of Common Stock.

 

2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.

 

2.1 Preferential Payments to Holders of Seed Preferred Shares. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Seed Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to 1.5 times the Seed Original Issue Price, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon (collectively, the “Seed Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of Seed Preferred Shares the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 2.1, the holders of shares of Seed Preferred Shares shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

 

2.2 Distribution of Remaining Assets. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment in full of all Seed Liquidation Amount required to be paid to the holders of Seed Preferred Shares, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Seed Preferred Shares and Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

 

3. Voting. To the fullest extent permitted under the NRS and other applicable law, the holders of Seed Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for a vote, including, without limitation, any voting right otherwise afforded to the holders of Seed Preferred Shares under NRS 78.2055, NRS 78.207 or NRS 78.390, which are hereby expressly denied.

 

4. Mandatory Conversion.

 

4.1 Trigger Events. At such date and time as is specified by the Board in connection with, but prior to, the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in connection with such offering the Common Stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market, (i) all outstanding Seed Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock on a 1:1 (i.e., 1 share of Seed Preferred Shares for 1 share of Common Stock) basis, and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation.

 

 
12

 

 

4.2 Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of shares of Seed Preferred Shares shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Seed Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 4. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Seed Preferred Shares in certificated form shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Seed Preferred Shares converted pursuant to Subsection 4.1, including the rights, if any, to receive notices (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Subsection 4.2. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and, if applicable, the surrender of any certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Seed Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a notice of issuance of uncertificated shares and may, upon written request, issue and deliver a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, and (b) pay any declared but unpaid dividends on the Seed Preferred Shares converted.

 

4.3 Effect of Mandatory Conversion. All Seed Preferred Shares shall, from and after the Mandatory Conversion Time, no longer be deemed to be outstanding and, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates for such shares on or prior to such time, all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and payment of any declared but unpaid dividends. Such converted Seed Preferred Shares shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.

 

5. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any Seed Preferred Shares that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any rights granted to the holders of Seed Preferred Shares following redemption.

 

6. Waiver. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Seed Preferred Shares set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Seed Preferred Shares by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Seed Preferred Shares then outstanding.

 

7. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Annex to be given to a holder of Seed Preferred Shares shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the NRS, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Purchase Agreement and issue the Preferred Stock, Company has required that the Purchaser enter into this Agreement to set forth certain restrictions on the Preferred Stock to be received by it.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and the restrictions herein shall apply to any and all shares of Preferred Stock issued to Purchaser in connection with the Transaction on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Shares”).

 

2. Trading Restrictions. Purchaser’s Restricted Shares shall be restricted as follows:

 

(a) Purchaser’s Restricted Shares shall at all times be subject to all applicable trading restrictions promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time and all applicable laws.

 

(b) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it may not, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, grant any option for the sale of, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, hedge, short or otherwise encumber or dispose of (“Transfer”) any of the Restricted Shares until one year has elapsed from the date that Company filed “Form 10 information” with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer a shell company (“First Possible Transfer Date”).

3. Administration of Trading Restrictions. This Agreement shall be administered as follows:

 

(a) At all times during which Purchaser shall own Restricted Shares, there shall be a Trading Restriction Administrator, through which all trades by Purchaser must be made. The Trading Restriction Administrator shall be selected by Company and at all times when no Trading Restriction Administrator is selected, the Company shall act as Trading Restriction Administrator.

In the event the Trading Restriction Administrator becomes unavailable or unwilling to continue in such capacity, or in the event Company determines to select a different Trading Restriction Administrator, the Trading Restriction Administrator may resign from, or may be discharged from, its duties or obligations hereunder by delivering a resignation to Company and Purchaser, not less than 30 days prior to the date when such resignation shall take effect, during which time Company shall appoint a successor Trading Restriction Administrator.

 

(b) Whenever Purchaser desires to Transfer any Restricted Shares, Purchaser shall make a request in writing to the Trading Restriction Administrator, in accordance with the instructions contained in Exhibit B attached hereto, not later than 9:00 a.m., Pacific time, on the Business Day before the proposed date for such Transfer, specifying the number of Restricted Shares requested to be Transferred and the proposed date for such Transfer.

 

(c) Upon any request by Purchaser pursuant to Section 3(b), the Trading Restriction Administrator, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, shall determine whether such Transfer is permissible pursuant to Section 2, taking in account the request for such Transfer and all other requests by the other Sellers for such proposed date or during such week, as applicable.

 

(d) If the proposed Transfer would not exceed the limits imposed by Section 2, as determined by the Trading Restriction Administrator in accordance with Section 3(c), the Trading Restriction Administrator shall promptly notify Company and Purchaser, not later than 1:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the Business Day before the proposed date for such Transfer, that such Transfer is permissible under Section 2, and Company shall take such appropriate steps as are necessary to facilitate such Transfer on the stock records of Company or with the Company’s Transfer Agent.

 

(e) If the proposed Transfer would exceed the limits imposed by Section 2, as determined by the Trading Restriction Administrator in accordance with Section 3(c), the Trading Restriction Administrator shall calculate the number of Restricted Shares that may be Transferred by Purchaser in accordance with the restrictions set forth in Section 2 (the “Adjusted Amount”). Subject to Company’s waiver of the restrictions set forth in Section 2 in accordance with Section 3(f), the Trading Restriction Administrator shall promptly notify Company and Purchaser, not later than 1:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the Business Day before the proposed date for such Transfer, that such Transfer is only permissible if adjusted pursuant to this Section 3(e), specifying the Adjusted Amount.

(f) No waiver by Company of the limits imposed by Section 2 is effective unless delivered in writing to the Trading Restriction Administrator before the Final Rejection Time.

(iii) To Purchaser’s knowledge, no consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with any governmental authority or third person is required to be obtained by Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser or the performance of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

 

(f) Legends. Purchaser understands and agrees that the certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares, or any other securities issued in respect of the Restricted Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear the following legends or legends substantially similar:
