Definitions
Unless the context requires otherwise, the general
provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the NRS shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular,
and the term “person” includes a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise and a natural person.
ARTICLE X - EXCLUSIVE FORUM
Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection
of an alternative forum, the Nevada Court (as defined below) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, administrative or investigative (i) brought
derivatively on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, stockholder, officer or other employee or fiduciary of the Corporation to the Corporation or the
Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) constituting internal action (as defined in NRS 78.046), including any such action asserting a claim against the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of Title 7 of the NRS, the Articles of
Incorporation or these bylaws, any agreement entered into pursuant to NRS 78.365 or as to which the NRS confers jurisdiction on the district court of the State of Nevada, (iv) to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the
Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws or (v) asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (v) above, any claim as to which such court determines that there is an indispensable party not
subject to the jurisdiction of such court (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of such court within 10 days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum
other than such court, or for which such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction. “Nevada Court” shall mean the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in Clark County, Nevada; provided that, if the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in Clark County, Nevada, does not have jurisdiction over any such action, suit or proceeding, then the Second Judicial District
Court of the State of Nevada in Washoe County, Nevada, shall be the sole and exclusive forum therefor; provided further that, if neither such court has jurisdiction over any such action, suit or
proceeding, then any federal district court located within the State of Nevada shall be the sole and exclusive forum therefor; and provided further that, if
none of the foregoing courts has jurisdiction over such action, suit, or proceeding, then any state district court of the State of Nevada which has such jurisdiction shall be the sole and exclusive forum therefor.
Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection
of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
against any person in connection with any offering of the Corporation’s securities, including, without limitation and for the avoidance of doubt, any auditor, underwriter, expert, control person or other defendant.
Any person or entity purchasing, holding or otherwise
acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article X. This provision shall be enforceable by any party to a complaint covered by the provisions of this
Article X. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Article X shall apply to any action brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the 1934 Act or any successor thereto.
ARTICLE XI - INAPPLICABILITY OF
ACQUISITION OF CONTROLLING INTEREST STATUTES
Notwithstanding any other provision in these bylaws to the
contrary, and in accordance with the provisions of NRS 78.378, the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive (or any successor statutes thereto), relating to acquisitions of controlling interests in the Corporation, do not apply to the
Corporation or to any acquisition of any shares of any class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock.
ARTICLE XII - DEEMED NOTICE AND CONSENT
To the fullest extent permitted by law, each and every
person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest (of any nature whatsoever) in any shares of the capital stock or other securities of the Corporation shall be deemed, by reason of and from and after the time of such purchase or
other acquisition, to have notice of and to have consented to all of the provisions of (a) these bylaws (including, without limitation, Article X and this Article XII), (b) the Articles of Incorporation and (c) any amendment to these bylaws or
the Articles of Incorporation enacted or adopted in accordance with these bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation and applicable law.
