ARTICLE IV: MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Section 4.1 Annual Meetings
Annual meetings of stockholders may, but are not required to, be held as determined solely by the Board of Directors in its absolute discretion. The failure to call, hold, or conduct an annual meeting shall not impair the validity of any corporate action, limit the powers of the Corporation, or provide any stockholder with a cause of action or remedy. No stockholder shall have standing to compel the scheduling or agenda of any annual meeting absent a mandatory and non-waivable requirement under the DGCL.
Section 4.2 Special Meetings
Special meetings of stockholders may only be called by the Chairman of the Board or pursuant to the unanimous written resolution of the full Board of Directors then in office. Under no circumstances shall any individual stockholder, group of stockholders, class of stockholders, or third-party representative have the right to demand, petition for, or initiate a special meeting of stockholders. This limitation shall be strictly enforced, and any contrary rights are expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 4.3 Notice and Waiver
Notice of stockholder meetings shall be given in accordance with the DGCL, but the Corporation may provide notice electronically, physically, or by any means authorized by applicable law. A stockholder’s attendance at any meeting—whether in person or by proxy—shall constitute an irrevocable waiver of notice and any defect therein, unless the stockholder attends solely to object to improper notice and makes such objection on the record at the outset of the meeting. Written waivers of notice may be delivered in hard copy, email, or any form of electronic transmission.
Section 4.4 Quorum
The holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, unless a different threshold is required by law or these Bylaws. The Chairman of the Board shall have absolute authority to adjourn, postpone, continue, or reconvene any stockholder meeting for any reason, with or without quorum, and may reset the date, time, or format of such meeting in the Chairman’s sole discretion. No stockholder shall have recourse for any such adjournment.
| SECOND AMENDED AND FULLY RESTATED BYLAWS OF UNATION, INC. | 5 | PAGE |
Section 4.5 Voting Rights
Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on all matters submitted to stockholders.

The Corporation expressly denies the application of cumulative voting unless expressly adopted by amendment.
Section 4.6 Action Without Meeting
Any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if written or electronic consents representing not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize such action are delivered in accordance with the DGCL. The Board shall determine the record date for such action, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to provide notice of such consent action to non-participating stockholders unless required by law.

| ● | (b) Compel dividends, distributions, repurchases, or redemptions of any class of stock; |
| ● | (c) Vote on any matter reserved exclusively to the Board or Chairman under these Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation, or applicable law; |
| ● | (d) Propose amendments to, or compel changes in, these Bylaws or the governance structure of the Corporation unless such rights are explicitly granted by the Board or required by DGCL §109 and not otherwise waived to the extent permitted by law. |
Any attempt by stockholders to assert such rights shall be null, void, and without effect.
Section 4.8 Advisory Voting and Non-Binding Communications
The Corporation may, at its sole discretion, seek stockholder input, conduct non-binding surveys, or issue informational notices related to operational matters, proposals, or strategic direction. No such communication—whether written, electronic, or verbal—shall create any fiduciary obligation, voting right, or actionable expectation on the part of any stockholder or group. The Board and Chairman shall have sole authority to determine the relevance, impact, and disposition of any such feedback. Participation in such communications shall not be construed as consent, objection, or waiver of any right under these Bylaws or applicable law.

ARTICLE V: DIRECTORS
Section 5.1 Powers
The business, legal, strategic, and operational affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the authority of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), which shall exercise all lawful powers of the Corporation, whether now or hereafter conferred by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, except as expressly reserved to shareholders by mandatory law. The Board shall have exclusive and plenary authority over governance, compensation, strategic initiatives, capital deployment, major transactions, and corporate oversight, and shall not be subject to shareholder ratification unless specifically required by applicable law.
Section 5.2 Chairman and Founder Protections
The individual designated as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer shall serve as the Lead Executive and Governance Officer of the Corporation and shall exercise final interpretive authority over all matters relating to corporate control, Board composition, executive oversight, and governance interpretation.

| ● | (b) A final and non-appealable judicial determination of legal disqualification under applicable law; |

No vote of shareholders, no derivative action, and no Board resolution—whether direct or implied—shall remove, suspend, override, or impair the Founder’s status as a director or executive officer, unless such action is specifically and unavoidably required under the DGCL and cannot be waived or superseded by private ordering. All such provisions shall be interpreted in favor of the Founder’s continuity, control, and authority.
Section 5.3 Board Composition and Size
The number of directors of the Corporation shall be determined solely by the Chairman from time to time, and may be increased, decreased, or maintained in the Chairman’s sole and absolute discretion.

All directors shall serve at the pleasure of the Chairman and may serve indefinitely, regardless of tenure or shareholder vote, subject only to the removal provisions in Section 5.5.

Section 5.4 Appointment and Vacancies
All directors, whether for new seats or to fill vacancies, shall be appointed solely by the Chairman, or in the Chairman’s absence or incapacity, by majority vote of the remaining directors.

Vacancies resulting from resignation, removal, death, or otherwise shall not empower shareholders to act.
Section 5.5 Removal and Resignation
A director may be removed, with or without cause, only by unanimous vote of the other directors then in office, excluding the director subject to removal. Under no circumstance shall shareholders have the right to remove any director unless expressly permitted under DGCL §141(k) and not otherwise limited or waived by these Bylaws, and only to the narrowest extent such removal cannot be lawfully overridden. Any director may voluntarily resign by delivering written notice to the Chairman.
Section 5.6 Meetings
Board meetings may be held at such time, place, or via electronic or virtual means as designated by the Chairman. Regular meetings shall not require notice.

Attendance at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice, except when a director attends for the sole purpose of objecting to the legality of the meeting.
Section 5.7 Quorum and Voting
A quorum shall consist of a majority of the directors then in office. Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, all Board actions shall be authorized by a majority vote of those present.

Section 5.8 Action Without Meeting
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board may be taken without a meeting if all directors consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission. Such written consents shall be filed with the corporate records and shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting.
Section 5.9 Compensation and Reimbursement
Each director shall be entitled to receive compensation, expense reimbursement, and other benefits as may be approved by the Chairman or by resolution of the Board. Such compensation shall not be contingent upon shareholder approval or shareholder-related services and shall be deemed independent of any equity position held.

Such indemnification shall include, without limitation, the payment or reimbursement of all liabilities, damages, claims, losses, judgments, penalties, settlements, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with any actual or threatened action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or claim—whether civil, criminal, administrative, or otherwise—arising out of service as a director of the Corporation or in any capacity at the request of the Corporation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for any act or omission in their capacity as a director, including any alleged breach of fiduciary duty, except to the extent such limitation is expressly prohibited by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any successor provision. Acts taken in good faith reliance on corporate records, officer certifications, legal counsel, or the best interests of the Corporation shall be presumed protected. These protections shall apply during and after service as a director and shall inure to the benefit of each director’s heirs, executors, legal representatives, and assigns. Indemnification rights shall be cumulative with any rights under contract, insurance, statute, or otherwise, and shall not be deemed exclusive or diminished by any other provision.
Section 5.11 No Creditor Rights
No creditor, shareholder, derivative claimant, or external party shall have the right to inspect, seize, attach, encumber, influence, or impair a director’s seat, vote, authority, compensation, or indemnification. The sole and exclusive remedy available to any such claimant shall be a charging order strictly limited to distributions actually payable, as further restricted in Article XIV. No director shall be compelled to disclose or divest any governance role, fiduciary discretion, or equity-based compensation as a result of third-party action, debt collection, or legal process.
ARTICLE VI: COMMITTEES
Section 6.1 Creation and Authority
The Board of Directors may, but shall not be required to, establish one or more standing or special committees composed solely of directors.

No implied or residual authority shall be presumed. All committee actions shall be subject to review, override, or rescission by the Board or Chairman at any time.

| ● | (c) Any other liabilities that may not be waived under Delaware law. |
Any repeal or modification of this Section shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
Section 8.4 Non-Exclusivity of Rights
The rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Article shall not be exclusive of, and shall not limit, any other rights to which any person may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, a Board resolution, vote of shareholders, contract, insurance policy, or any applicable law. These rights shall apply in addition to, and not in substitution for, any broader rights provided elsewhere.
Section 8.5 Insurance
The Corporation may purchase, maintain, or reimburse the cost of insurance on behalf of any person described in Section 8.1 against any liability asserted or incurred in any capacity arising out of their role or connection with the Corporation, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person under applicable law. The Corporation shall not be obligated to obtain such insurance but may do so at its discretion, including policies covering past or former officers and directors.
Section 8.6 Survival and Benefit
The indemnification and liability protections provided herein shall continue for any person who has ceased to serve in their respective capacity and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, legal representatives, and estate.

Section 8.7 Subrogation and Cooperation Obligations
If any indemnified person receives payment, recovery, or reimbursement from a third-party source (including insurers or co-defendants), they shall promptly reimburse the Corporation for any indemnification advances previously paid to the extent of such recovery.
Each indemnified person shall fully cooperate with the Corporation, its legal counsel, and any insurer in the defense, settlement, or resolution of any claim. Failure to cooperate may suspend or limit ongoing indemnification rights.
Section 8.8 Creditor Limitations and Charging Order Exclusive Remedy
No external creditor, legal claimant, judgment holder, or third party shall acquire, access, attach, or assert any right to the equity interests, corporate seats, voting rights, or decision-making authority of any person protected under this Article. The sole and exclusive remedy available to any such claimant shall be a charging order against net economic distributions (if any) lawfully payable to the indemnified person, as further limited by Article XV.
No legal, equitable, or statutory process shall impair the independence, discretion, or status of any indemnified person within the Corporation.
ARTICLE IX: RECORDS AND SHAREHOLDER ACCESS
Section 9.1 Maintenance and Control of Records
The Corporation shall maintain accurate and complete books and records of account, including minutes of meetings, stockholder registries, resolutions, consents, financial reports, contracts, and corporate instruments, in physical, electronic, or hybrid form, as permitted by the DGCL.

Section 9.2 Stockholder Inspection Rights Limited to DGCL §220
No stockholder shall have any right to inspect, copy, extract, obtain, or otherwise access the Corporation’s records, communications, internal data, trade secrets, strategies, technical infrastructure, algorithms, financial models, or Board materials—except to the minimum extent expressly and non-waivably required by DGCL §220.

| ● | (a) A notarized affidavit stating a legally recognized and proper purpose; |
| ● | (b) A precise identification of each document or record sought; |
| SECOND AMENDED AND FULLY RESTATED BYLAWS OF UNATION, INC. | 16 | PAGE |
| ● | (c) Written evidence of continuous beneficial ownership of voting shares; and |
| ● | (d) A signed certification of confidentiality, non-disclosure, and non-transfer under penalty of disqualification from further access. |
Failure to meet all four conditions shall constitute grounds for denial.
Section 9.3 Improper Purpose or Bad Faith Use
Any request for records or information that, in the sole judgment of the Chairman or a majority of the Board, is deemed speculative, abusive, hostile, duplicative, coordinated with third-party interests, or made in anticipation of litigation or reputational harm, may be summarily denied without obligation to provide further justification. If a stockholder misuses or disseminates any corporate information—whether obtained through legal access or otherwise—the Corporation may immediately revoke all future governance and information rights of such holder and may seek equitable, injunctive, or monetary relief in any appropriate forum.
Section 9.4 Mandatory Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
The Corporation may condition any document inspection, access, or disclosure on the execution of a legally binding non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The NDA may include:

| ● | (b) Acknowledgment of proprietary and confidential status; |
| ● | (c) Liquidated damages clauses; and |
| ● | (d) Consent to injunctive enforcement in the event of breach. |
Any violation of an NDA shall result in immediate revocation of rights, permanent disqualification from further access, and enforcement of all available remedies under law or equity.
Section 9.5 Director Rights to Information
Each duly seated director shall have the absolute right to inspect all books, records, contracts, communications, and systems of the Corporation, as necessary to fulfill their fiduciary duties.

Section 9.6 Legal and Regulatory Access
The Corporation shall comply with all lawful subpoenas, government audits, securities filings, or regulatory inspections as required by applicable law. No stockholder may initiate, facilitate, or represent the Corporation in any such legal or regulatory process without the written consent of the Chairman, and no third-party access shall be granted based on stockholder status alone.

| ● | (a) The Certificate of Incorporation; |
| ● | (b) The applicable Board resolution or stock designation; or |

Such shares shall entitle the holder solely to the economic benefits (e.g., dividends, redemptions, sale proceeds) explicitly provided.
Section 10.3 Uncertificated Shares and Issuance Format
The Corporation may issue shares of any class in uncertificated form unless a shareholder submits a written request for a physical certificate and the Board approves such issuance. Any such certificate shall conform to DGCL requirements and may be subject to restrictive legends as determined by the Corporation.
Section 10.4 Transfer Restrictions and Approval Requirement
No shares of any class shall be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of—whether voluntarily or by operation of law—unless all of the following conditions are satisfied:

Section 10.5 Right of First Refusal (ROFR)
Before any shareholder may transfer shares to a third party, the Corporation (or its designee) shall have the first right to purchase such shares on the same terms. The procedures, timelines, notice requirements, valuation mechanisms, and waiver process shall be as set forth in the Corporation’s shareholder agreements, offering documents, or internal policies. Failure to strictly comply with such ROFR procedures shall invalidate any proposed transfer.
Section 10.6 Record Ownership Requirement for Right
Only stockholders of record shall have the right to:
| ● | (a) Vote on corporate matters (if applicable to their class); |
| ● | (b) Receive dividends, distributions, or liquidation proceeds; |
| ● | (c) Be recognized for legal, fiduciary, or corporate status. |
Beneficial holders, brokers, custodians, or nominee accounts shall not be deemed stockholders for any purpose, unless and until properly registered as holders of record in the Corporation’s official ledger.

If a stock certificate is lost, destroyed, stolen, or mutilated, the Corporation may issue a replacement certificate or convert the shares into uncertificated form, subject to:
| ● | (a) An affidavit of loss or destruction; |
| ● | (b) An indemnity or bond as required by the Board; and |
| ● | (c) Payment of any applicable administrative or legal fees. |
The Corporation may deny replacement if fraud or bad faith is suspected.
Section 10.8 Discretionary Dividends
No shareholder or class of stock shall have any guaranteed right to dividends. Dividends may be declared and paid only at the sole discretion of the Board, subject to DGCL solvency requirements. The timing, form, amount, and class eligibility of any dividend shall be determined exclusively by Board resolution and shall not create any continuing entitlement or precedent.
| SECOND AMENDED AND FULLY RESTATED BYLAWS OF UNATION, INC. | 19 | PAGE |
ARTICLE XI: AMENDMENTS
Section 11.1 Exclusive Authority
These Bylaws may be adopted, amended, restated, or repealed solely by (a) written directive of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, or (b) unanimous written consent of the full Board of Directors then in office. No shareholder vote, proposal, consent, or petition—whether direct or derivative—shall be valid, effective, or required for any modification to these Bylaws, except where expressly mandated by a non-waivable provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL). Any purported shareholder action to modify these Bylaws without such authority shall be null, void, and of no legal effect.
Section 11.2 Scope of Amendments
Amendments may address any subject or provision contained within these Bylaws, including but not limited to: capital structure; stock classes; officer and director powers; indemnity and fiduciary protections; governance authority; shareholder rights; voting procedures; information access; equity compensation; or dispute resolution frameworks. No prior notice, shareholder approval, fairness opinion, or external validation shall be required as a condition to enactment of any amendment.
Section 11.3 Non-Retroactivity and Protection of Founder Rights
No amendment, repeal, restatement, or interpretive revision of these Bylaws shall have retroactive or prospective effect that diminishes, restricts, overrides, or eliminates any right, protection, power, designation, equity award, compensation, appointment authority, fiduciary shield, or governance status previously granted to the Founder, the Chairman, or any then-serving officer or director, unless such person provides prior written consent.
This provision includes, without limitation, protections related to:
| ● | (a) Indemnification and advancement of expenses; |
| ● | (b) Control over governance, capital structure, or Board composition; |
| ● | (c) Strategic discretion, appointment or removal powers, and equity compensation; |
| ● | (d) Any status or designation granted by prior board resolution, contract, or these Bylaws. |
Any attempt to circumvent this protection through indirect or procedural means—including through reclassification, internal restructuring, board expansion, proxy coordination, derivative action, or litigation—shall be deemed a violation of these Bylaws and shall be void ab initio. All such rights are deemed irrevocable and contractually binding unless explicitly waived in writing by the Founder. No provision of these Bylaws shall be construed to permit erosion of Founder authority by implication or omission. Courts and arbitrators shall be directed to interpret this Section liberally in favor of preserving all such protections.
| SECOND AMENDED AND FULLY RESTATED BYLAWS OF UNATION, INC. | 20 | PAGE |
Section 11.4 – Effective Date and Recordkeeping
Unless otherwise specified in the amending resolution or instrument, all amendments shall take effect immediately upon execution by the authorized parties. A copy of the most current version of the Bylaws, including any amendments or restatements, shall be maintained in the Corporation’s permanent governance records and shall automatically supersede all prior versions. The Corporation shall not be required to distribute amended Bylaws to shareholders unless specifically directed by the Chairman or required by law.
ARTICLE XII: ADVANCED CORPORATE PROTECTIONS
Section 12.1 Founder and Chairman Authority
The Founder, serving as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, shall retain exclusive, irrevocable, and overriding authority with respect to all matters of corporate governance, succession planning, equity structuring, fiduciary appointments, capital allocation, and strategic control. No board resolution, shareholder action, third-party agreement, or legal proceeding shall diminish, override, or impair this authority without the Founder’s prior written consent. This power shall be construed liberally and expansively, and any ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of continued Founder control.
Section 12.2 Merger, Acquisition, and Exit Controls
No merger, acquisition, asset sale, recapitalization, public offering, strategic exit, or liquidity event shall be valid or binding unless specifically authorized in writing by the Founder and Chairman. No stockholder, regardless of class, voting power, or economic interest, shall have the ability to initiate, compel, or ratify any such transaction without the express consent of the Founder. Any transaction commenced without such authorization shall be deemed unauthorized and void ab initio.
Section 12.3 Buyer Vetting and Governance Filter
All proposed acquirers, institutional investors, underwriters, or controlling stakeholders shall be subject to comprehensive strategic, legal, and reputational vetting by the Chairman and any internal advisory body of his choosing. The Corporation shall reject, without obligation or explanation, any proposal, term sheet, investment, or inquiry that does not align with long-term fiduciary alignment, value preservation, or cultural mission as determined solely by the Chairman.
Section 12.4 Founder Compensation and Recognition
The Founder may be awarded compensation, equity, warrants, or deferred economic consideration for prior or ongoing labor, capital infusion, strategic development, risk assumption, or intellectual property contributions. These awards shall not be subject to dilution, parity claims, clawbacks, fairness opinions, or valuation thresholds unless expressly agreed in writing by the Founder. The Board shall not require third-party approval or fairness review for such grants.
| SECOND AMENDED AND FULLY RESTATED BYLAWS OF UNATION, INC. | 21 | PAGE |
Section 12.5 Tax-Deferred Compensation Instruments
The Corporation may issue to the Founder or executive officers equity instruments—such as options, warrants, or restricted shares—structured to defer taxation until a liquidity or realization event, including but not limited to IPO, acquisition, sale of control, or change of ownership. Strike prices may be as low as $0.01 or otherwise nominal. Such instruments may be issued retroactively or in anticipation of future contributions, and shall not require parity treatment with any other class of equity holders.
Section 12.6 Executive Protection from Personal Liability
No officer, director, or fiduciary acting in good faith shall bear any personal liability for any act, omission, or business judgment made in the scope of corporate service. The Corporation shall indemnify and defend such individuals to the fullest extent permitted by law, regardless of the success of any underlying action, and shall advance legal expenses immediately upon demand. The Corporation shall bear the burden of proving bad faith in any dispute regarding the denial of such protections.
Section 12.7 Charging Order as Sole Creditor Remedy
No judgment creditor, lienholder, garnishing party, or claimant shall acquire the right to assume, encumber, vote, transfer, inspect, control, or liquidate any equity, office, or governance rights held by any executive, director, or shareholder. The exclusive remedy for such third parties shall be a charging order against economic distributions, if and when declared at the discretion of the Corporation. No managerial authority, access rights, or participation powers shall attach to such remedy. Any other judgment, claim, or proposed enforcement mechanism shall be deemed invalid and unenforceable under these Bylaws and Delaware law.
Section 12.8 Binding Effect and Survivability
The protections set forth in this Article shall apply retroactively and prospectively to all current and former officers, directors, and shareholders, and shall be binding upon all heirs, successors, assigns, transferees, legal representatives, and custodians. These provisions shall survive any merger, acquisition, recapitalization, liquidation, death, dissolution, resignation, or regulatory event affecting the Corporation or its leadership. Any court, arbitrator, or enforcement body shall be required to interpret this Article in favor of continued enforceability and maximum protection of the Corporation’s leadership structure.
ARTICLE XIII: CAPITAL STRUCTURE & OFFERING FRAMEWORK
Section 13.1 Class B Revenue-Backed Shares
The Corporation may authorize and issue a distinct equity instrument known as Class B Revenue-Backed Shares (“Class B Shares”), which shall entitle holders to receive a defined share of the Corporation’s gross revenues until a predetermined return threshold is satisfied. Key terms include, but are not limited to:
| ● | (a) An issuance price of $2.00 per share; |
| SECOND AMENDED AND FULLY RESTATED BYLAWS OF UNATION, INC. | 22 | PAGE |
| ● | (b) An 8% participation right in gross revenue, paid monthly or quarterly, as determined by the Corporation; |
| ● | (c) A maximum return cap equal to 150% of each shareholder’s original investment; |
| ● | (d) Automatic conversion into Class A Common Stock upon achievement of the return cap, subject to the Board’s discretion on conversion timing and structure; |
| ● | (e) No governance, voting, fiduciary, or inspection rights unless specifically granted by written agreement. |
Class B Shares are hereby designated as non-governing, contract-defined financial instruments, and shall be construed narrowly and exclusively in accordance with their revenue and conversion entitlements.
Section 13.2 Governance and Economic Terms
Class B Shares shall not carry voting rights, Board participation, proxy rights, inspection access, or standing in derivative or fiduciary claims. Their sole enforceable rights shall be:
| ● | (a) A pro-rata share of the revenue participation pool as determined by the Corporation; |
| ● | (b) Right to convert to Class A Common Stock upon satisfaction of the 150% return; |
| ● | (c) Temporary economic priority over common and preferred equity classes solely for the purpose of revenue payouts under the program. |
No other rights shall be implied or inferred. Class B holders shall not be treated as equity partners for any purpose beyond the four corners of their designated terms.
Section 13.3 Transition to Regulation A+ Offering
Following the partial or full close of the Class B offering, the Corporation may initiate a Tier 2 Regulation A+ public offering of common equity. The Reg A+ round shall:
| ● | (a) Be priced independently and may carry different rights than Class B Shares; |
| ● | (b) Offer voting Class A Common Stock to the public, subject to compliance with SEC regulations; |
| ● | (c) Commence only after the Corporation determines that revenue-backed obligations have been substantially met or fully integrated into the public offering structure. |
The Board retains full discretion to structure the Reg A+ in a manner that complements or subsumes prior offering rounds. No shareholder or investor shall have standing to challenge the timing, pricing, conversion mechanics, or sequencing of the Reg A+ offering. All prior instruments shall be interpreted in harmony with the new structure, subject to the Corporation’s overarching authority.
| SECOND AMENDED AND FULLY RESTATED BYLAWS OF UNATION, INC. | 23 | PAGE |
Section 13.4 Investor Communications and Access
Class B shareholders shall receive performance updates, investor summaries, and SEC-required notices specifically related to their economic interest. However, such holders shall have no right to receive:
| ● | (a) Board resolutions or minutes; |
| ● | (b) Internal strategy memoranda or forward-looking plans; |
| ● | (c) Legal, contractual, or privileged communications. |
All disclosures shall be limited to required financial, regulatory, and revenue reports, and shall not create any fiduciary or governance obligations.
Section 13.5 Offering Modifications and Board Discretion
The Chairman and Board of Directors shall have broad and absolute authority to:
| ● | (a) Modify, restructure, extend, suspend, delay, cancel, or terminate any offering or class of shares; |
| ● | (b) Amend payment schedules, conversion mechanics, or offering terms for future rounds; |
| ● | (c) Layer or sequence multiple offering types (including equity, debt, revenue-backed, or hybrid securities); |
| ● | (d) Consolidate, exchange, roll up, or reclassify securities into a new framework, provided that no contractual right to an already-earned economic payout is impaired without the affected holder’s consent. |
All other modifications may be made without shareholder approval.
Section 13.6 Securities Compliance and Enforcement Jurisdiction
All securities offerings, including the Class B Shares, the Regulation A+ Offering, or any future equity programs, shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable SEC regulations, state securities laws, and federal exemptions, including Regulation D, Regulation A, or Rule 506(c), as applicable. All disputes, claims, or proceedings relating to any offering, shareholder rights, or capital structuring shall be governed by the exclusive dispute resolution and venue provisions set forth in Article XIV.
Section 13.7 Capital Engineering Rights and Strategic Flexibility
To maximize value, scalability, and optionality, the Corporation reserves the unrestricted right to financially engineer its capital structure through any lawful combination of:
| ● | (a) Revenue-backed equity; |
| ● | (b) Preferred or convertible instruments; |
| ● | (c) Common stock tranches; |
| ● | (d) Warrants, options, or synthetic equity; |
| ● | (e) Debt offerings with equity-linked conversion; |
| SECOND AMENDED AND FULLY RESTATED BYLAWS OF UNATION, INC. | 24 | PAGE |
| ● | (f) Future Class A hybrid instruments or successor share classes. |
The Chairman and Board shall have sole and exclusive discretion to determine the sequencing, terms, and mechanics of any such structure, with the goal of optimizing shareholder value, strategic control, and long-term exit potential. No shareholder or investor shall have preemptive, veto, or parity rights with respect to any such structuring unless expressly granted by contract.
ARTICLE XIV: DISPUTE RESOLUTION & LEGAL ENFORCEMENT
Section 14.1 Binding Arbitration
All claims, disputes, or controversies—whether contractual, statutory, tort-based, or equitable in nature—arising between or involving the Corporation and any shareholder, director, officer, agent, employee, vendor, or investor shall be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be conducted in St. Petersburg, Florida, before a single neutral arbitrator agreed upon by the parties or appointed by the AAA. The proceedings shall be confidential, and discovery shall be limited in scope as the arbitrator deems just. The prevailing party shall be entitled to full recovery of its reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees, arbitration costs, and enforcement expenses.
Section 14.2 Exclusive Venue and Jurisdiction
If, for any reason, binding arbitration is determined to be inapplicable, unenforceable, or inoperative as to any claim, party, or proceeding, then the sole and exclusive venue and jurisdiction for all disputes shall lie in the state and federal courts physically located in Pinellas County, City of St. Petersburg, Florida. Each party to these Bylaws—including shareholders, transferees, officers, directors, fiduciaries, agents, and investors—irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts, and knowingly, voluntarily, and unconditionally waives any objection based on venue, forum non conveniens, or convenience of any alternative jurisdiction. No action, lawsuit, petition, or legal proceeding may be initiated, transferred, or maintained in any court, tribunal, or jurisdiction other than those specified herein, regardless of the party’s domicile, entity status, class of equity held, or location of contractual performance. Any violation of this clause shall be grounds for immediate dismissal, fee-shifting, and injunctive relief.
Section 14.3 Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Actions
Each party to these Bylaws—and each person holding or receiving shares governed by them—irrevocably waives the right to a jury trial in any legal, administrative, or regulatory proceeding involving the Corporation. No party shall initiate, join, or support any class action, collective action, mass arbitration, representative action, or derivative suit against the Corporation or any of its officers, directors, fiduciaries, affiliates, or successors. Any such filing shall be deemed void ab initio, without standing, and subject to immediate dismissal. The Corporation may seek injunctive relief, sanctions, and recovery of enforcement costs in response.
| SECOND AMENDED AND FULLY RESTATED BYLAWS OF UNATION, INC. | 25 | PAGE |
Section 14.4 Charging Order as Sole Creditor Remedy
The sole and exclusive remedy available to any creditor, judgment holder, or legal claimant of any shareholder, officer, or director shall be a charging order limited to that person’s right to receive economic distributions, if and when declared by the Corporation. No such party shall acquire any rights to inspect records, vote shares, exercise governance authority, compel distributions, or interfere in the management or operations of the Corporation. Any other remedy, whether legal or equitable, is hereby expressly waived.
Section 14.5 Fiduciary and Voting Limitations
Class B Shareholders, Preferred Shareholders, passive investors, or holders of economic-only interests shall have no implied, residual, or enforceable rights to vote, inspect, challenge, access books, or participate in corporate governance. These limitations apply regardless of share percentage held, investment amount, class designation, or transfer history, and may not be expanded by court interpretation or statute without express approval of the Board and Chairman.
Section 14.6 Enforcement, Injunctive Relief, and Survival
All provisions of this Article shall be enforceable by injunction, specific performance, expedited motion practice, and, where appropriate, permanent disqualification of any violating party’s rights. These protections and limitations shall remain binding upon all parties, successors, assigns, heirs, transferees, and custodians, regardless of any change in ownership, domicile, designation, or control. They shall survive the death, resignation, removal, dissolution, merger, or liquidation of any party or the Corporation itself, and shall be construed liberally to effectuate their protective intent.
Section 14.7 Declaratory Enforcement and Preemptive Defense Rights
The Corporation shall have the right, but not the obligation, to initiate preemptive legal action—including motions for declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, or dismissal with prejudice—against any party threatening to initiate or participate in a legal, regulatory, or administrative action in violation of these Bylaws. Such preemptive action may be filed in any authorized forum under Section 14.2 and shall seek immediate enforcement of:
| ● | (a) The exclusive dispute resolution provisions herein; |
| ● | (b) Waivers of derivative standing, class action rights, or fiduciary claims; and |
| ● | (c) The charging order limitations imposed by Section 14.4. |
The Corporation shall not be required to wait for an actual breach or filing to seek relief. The mere threat, coordination, or solicitation of a disallowed action shall trigger this right.
| SECOND AMENDED AND FULLY RESTATED BYLAWS OF UNATION, INC. | 26 | PAGE |
Any such relief may include:
| ● | (a) A permanent bar to future legal action by the violating party; |
| ● | (b) Recovery of all legal fees, costs, and administrative expenses; and |
| ● | (c) Temporary or permanent suspension of economic participation rights until full compliance is restored. |
This Section shall apply to all shareholders, transferees, advisors, legal representatives, and any third party acting in concert with them. Courts and arbitrators shall be instructed to interpret this clause broadly and in favor of swift enforcement.
ARTICLE XV: Absolute Waiver of Coordinated, Class, and Derivative Litigation Rights
Section 15.1 – Individual Enforcement Required
To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim, complaint, cause of action, demand, or proceeding brought by or on behalf of any stockholder or beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation (whether directly, derivatively, or through legal proxy, nominee, custodian, or agent) must be brought solely in such holder’s individual and personal capacity, and not as a plaintiff, class representative, member, participant, or beneficiary of any purported class action, collective action, derivative suit, representative proceeding, or group claim of any kind. The Corporation does not consent to, and explicitly denies and disclaims, any right of any stockholder to initiate, support, join, or maintain any coordinated or representative action on behalf of any group of equity holders or in the name or right of the Corporation, whether under common law, statute, fiduciary doctrine, or otherwise. All stockholders acknowledge that this limitation is a material condition of share ownership and shall be deemed to run with the shares, binding all subsequent transferees, successors, heirs, or assignees of such shares regardless of transfer form or notice.
Section 15.2 – Waiver of Derivative Claims
Except to the minimum extent expressly and non-waivably required by the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), all stockholders irrevocably waive any right to bring, join, maintain, or enforce any derivative action, double-derivative action, or demand litigation in the name or right of the Corporation, including any such claim brought under the guise of breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, misappropriation, insider dealing, or corporate mismanagement.
No derivative action may proceed without:
| ● | (a) the advance written consent of the Chairman of the Board, and |
| ● | (b) a unanimous resolution of the full Board of Directors then in office affirming such consent. |
No legal fiction, alter ego doctrine, or procedural loophole shall revive or expand any waived derivative right under this Article. This waiver shall apply regardless of the equity percentage held, class designation, or financial harm alleged.
| SECOND AMENDED AND FULLY RESTATED BYLAWS OF UNATION, INC. | 27 | PAGE |
Section 15.3 – Mandatory Venue and Arbitration Election
All disputes, demands, or causes of action brought by or on behalf of any stockholder—whether involving claims of governance misconduct, disclosure failures, officer liability, shareholder oppression, or capital structuring—shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located within the State of Delaware, unless the Corporation elects, in its sole and exclusive discretion, to resolve such disputes by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) pursuant to its Commercial Rules. Arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis only, and shall not permit any form of consolidation, joinder, or representative proceeding. The Corporation may enforce this election retroactively or prospectively, and all current and future stockholders shall be deemed to have knowingly and voluntarily consented to this forum selection, regardless of domicile, investment status, or transfer history.
Section 15.4 – Waiver of Jury Trial
To the fullest extent permitted by law, each stockholder irrevocably waives any and all rights to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding, arbitration, or legal forum arising out of or relating to the Corporation, its directors, officers, shareholders, governance practices, disclosures, fiduciary obligations, or these Bylaws. Any party seeking to enforce this waiver shall be entitled to immediate dismissal, sanctions, and reimbursement of all enforcement costs.
Section 15.5 – Severability and Enforceability
If any portion of this Article XV is held to be invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable as applied to any person or circumstance, such provision shall be severed to the minimum extent necessary and all remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This Article shall be construed broadly and liberally in favor of (a) preserving the Corporation’s right to define its internal governance, and (b) enforcing private ordering under Delaware law, in accordance with DGCL §102(b)(1), §109(b), and all applicable case law recognizing the enforceability of corporate self-limitation and stockholder waivers. All courts, arbitrators, and enforcement authorities shall interpret this Article as a clear and intentional waiver of representative litigation and derivative rights, adopted with full authority by the Corporation and binding on all equity holders without exception.
