(k) The Company may complete additional financings in the future in order to develop the business of the Company and fund its ongoing development, and such future financings may have a dilutive effect on current stockholders or securityholders of the Company, including the Subscriber. However, there is no assurance that any future financings will be available, on reasonable terms or at all, and if not so available, could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, performance or prospects.

(l) The Subscriber is responsible for obtaining such legal and tax advice as it considers appropriate in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

The Subscriber also consents to the filing of copies or originals of any of the Subscriber’s documents described herein as may be required to be filed with any stock exchange or securities regulatory authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.3 Industry Specific Acknowledgements and Risks of the Subscriber

The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company is and will continue to be subject to, among other things, the following risks and uncertainties:

(a) Nature of the business model. Since the cultivation, manufacturing, processing, possession, transportation, distribution, and sale of cannabis for medical, adult-use (i.e., recreational) or otherwise, that is not related to research sanctioned by the United States federal government, is prohibited under U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws, it is possible that the Company may be forced to cease certain of the Company’s proposed activities. The United States federal government, through, among others, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), its sub-agency the Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”), and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), have the right to actively investigate, audit and shutdown cannabis growing facilities, processors and retailers. The United States federal government may also attempt to seize Company or shareholder property. Any action taken by the DOJ, the DEA and/or the IRS to impede, seize or shutdown the Company’s future operations will have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

- 15 -

(b) The majority of the Company’s planned business activities, while believed to be compliant with Cannabis Codes, are prohibited under U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws. The Subscriber is cautioned that in the United States, medical and adult-use cannabis industry operations are largely regulated at the state and local levels. Although certain states and territories of the United States authorize medical and/or adult-use cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, processing, possession, transportation, distribution, and sale by operating entities licensed or registered under Cannabis Codes, under U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws, the cultivation, manufacturing, processing, possession, transportation, distribution, and sale of cannabis, for any purpose other than DEA- sanctioned research, and any related drug paraphernalia, is prohibited, and constitute criminal acts under U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws, including the CSA. The Subscriber’s contribution to and involvement in such activities may result in federal civil and/or criminal prosecution, incarceration, penalty and/or forfeiture of his, her or its entire investment.

Violations of any U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions or settlements arising from civil proceedings conducted by either the federal government or private citizens, or criminal charges, including but not limited to disgorgement of profits, cessation of business activities or divestiture. This could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, including the Company’s reputation and ability to conduct business, the Company’s holding (directly or indirectly) of State and/or Local Cannabis Licenses, the Company’s financial position, operating results, profitability or liquidity or the market price of the Share. In addition, it is difficult to estimate the time or resources that would be needed for the investigation of any such matters or its final resolution because, in part, the time and resources that may be needed are dependent on the nature and extent of any information requested by the applicable authorities involved, and such time or resources could be substantial.

In addition, since the cultivation, manufacturing, processing, possession, transportation, distribution, and sale of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia is prohibited under U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws, the Company may be deemed to be aiding-and-abetting criminal activities through the contracts the Company has entered into and the products that the Company distributes. The Company cultivates, manufactures, processes, possesses, transports, distributes, and sells cannabis products through operating facilities and dispensaries, and otherwise, leases intellectual property and/or real property in a number of states. As a result, law enforcement authorities, in their attempt to regulate the illicit distribution of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia, may seek to bring an action or actions against the Company, including, but not limited to, aiding and abetting another’s criminal activities. The federal aiding and abetting statute provides that anyone who “commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.” As a result of such an action, the Company may be forced to cease certain operations and the Subscriber could lose its entire investment. Such an action would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s business and operations.

- 16 -

Cannabis Codes are relatively new and constantly evolving, so there are uncertainties as to how the applicable Cannabis Regulatory Bodies will interpret and administer applicable regulatory requirements. Any determination that the Company fails to comply with Cannabis Codes would require the Company either to significantly change or terminate lines of business, or the business as a whole, which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s business.

(c) Regulatory risks are inherent to the Company. The activities of the Company are subject to regulation by Cannabis Regulatory Bodies. The Company’s business objectives are contingent upon, in part, compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by these Cannabis Regulatory Bodies and obtaining all regulatory approvals, where necessary, in each jurisdiction in which the Company proposes to operate. The Company cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals, or the extent of testing and documentation that may be required by Cannabis Regulatory Bodies. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals would significantly delay the development of markets and products and could have a Material Adverse Effect.

No assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail the Company’s ability to cultivate, manufacture, process, possess, transport, distribute, and sell cannabis. Amendments to current Laws governing the cultivation, manufacturing, or distribution of cannabis, or more stringent implementation thereof could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

Moreover, the Proposed Transaction requires approval from Cannabis Regulatory Bodies in most of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. There is no guaranty that such approvals will be obtained in a timely manner or at all, or that the conditions precedent to such approvals will be on terms satisfactory to the Company. A substantial delay in obtaining satisfactory approvals and consents from the applicable Cannabis Regulatory Bodies could result in the Proposed Transaction not being completed. Moreover, certain costs relating to the Proposed Transaction and the subscription contemplated herein, such as legal, accounting and advisory fees, must be paid by the Company even if the Proposed Transaction is not completed.

(d) Regulatory scrutiny of the Company’s industry may negatively impact its ability to raise additional capital. The Company’s business activities are expected to rely on newly established and developing Laws, including in a number of states. These Laws are rapidly evolving and subject to change with minimal notice. Regulatory changes may adversely affect the Company’s profitability or cause it to cease operations entirely. The cannabis industry may come under the scrutiny or further scrutiny of the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; Securities and Exchange Commission; DOJ; the Financial Industry Regulatory Advisory or other federal, state or other applicable state or non-governmental regulatory authorities or self- regulatory organizations that supervise or regulate the cultivation, manufacturing, processing, possession, transportation, distribution, and sale of cannabis for medical or adult-use purposes in the United States. It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of any new Laws, regulations or initiatives that may be proposed, or whether any proposals will become Law. The regulatory uncertainty surrounding the Company’s industry may adversely affect the business and operations of the Company, including without limitation, the costs to remain compliant with applicable Laws and the impairment of the Company’s business or the ability to raise additional capital, which could reduce, delay or eliminate any return on investment in the Company.

- 17 -

(e) The Company may have difficulty accessing the service of banks and processing credit card payments in the United States, which may make it difficult for the Company to operate. In February 2014, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) bureau of the Treasury Department issued guidance (which is not Law) with respect to financial institutions providing banking services to cannabis businesses, including burdensome due diligence expectations and reporting requirements. This guidance does not provide any safe harbors or legal defenses from examination or regulatory or criminal enforcement actions by the DOJ, FinCEN or other federal regulators. Thus, most banks and other financial institutions are not comfortable providing banking services to cannabis-related businesses, or relying on this guidance, which can be amended or revoked at any time. In addition to the foregoing, banks may refuse to process debit card payments and credit card companies generally refuse to process credit card payments for cannabis-related businesses. As a result, the Company may have limited or no access to banking or other financial services in the United States and may have to operate the Company’s business on an all-cash basis. The inability or limitation in the Company’s ability to open or maintain bank accounts, obtain other banking services and/or accept credit card and debit card payments in the United States may make it difficult for the Company to operate and conduct business as planned.

(f) Federal trademark and patent protection may not be available for the intellectual property of the Company due to the current classification of marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance. As long as marijuana remains illegal under U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws as a Schedule I controlled substance pursuant to the CSA, the benefit of certain federal Laws and protections which may be available to most businesses, such as federal trademark and patent protection regarding the intellectual property of a business, may not be available to the Company. As a result, the Company’s intellectual property may never be adequately or sufficiently protected against the use or misappropriation by third parties. In addition, since the regulatory framework of the cannabis industry is in a constant state of flux, the Company can provide no assurance that it will ever obtain any protection of its intellectual property, whether on a federal, state or local level.

(g) The Company’s contracts may not be legally enforceable in the United States. Because certain of the Company’s contracts involve cannabis and other activities that are not legal under U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws and in certain state jurisdictions, the Company may face difficulties enforcing such contracts in federal and certain state courts.

(h) There is uncertainty surrounding the policies of the United States federal government. As a result of the conflict of Laws that currently exists between U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws and the Cannabis Codes, investments in cannabis business in the United States are subject to inconsistent Laws. The response to this inconsistency was addressed in August 2013 when then Deputy Attorney General, James Cole, authored the Cole Memorandum (the “Memorandum”). The Memorandum was addressed to all U.S. Attorneys acknowledging that, notwithstanding the designation of cannabis as a controlled substance at the federal level in the United States, several U.S. states enacted Cannabis Codes for medical and adult-use purposes. The Memorandum outlined certain priorities for the DOJ relating to the prosecution of cannabis offenses. In particular, the Memorandum noted that in jurisdictions that enacted Cannabis Codes and that have also implemented strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems to control the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis, conduct in compliance with those Cannabis Codes is less likely to be a priority at the federal level. In light of limited investigative and prosecutorial resources, the Memorandum concluded that the DOJ should be focused on addressing only the most significant threats related to cannabis. Cannabis Codes had been enacted were not characterized as a high priority.

- 18 -

On January 4, 2018, then U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum to U.S. Attorneys which rescinded the Memorandum. With the Memorandum rescinded, U.S. federal prosecutors can exercise their discretion, without regard to the priorities enumerated in the Memorandum, in determining whether to prosecute cannabis-related operations that are compliant with Cannabis Codes but that violate U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws.

On March 11, 2021, Merrick Garland was appointed as U.S. Attorney General. At his confirmation hearing, he said, “It does not seem to me a useful use of limited resources that we have, to be pursuing prosecutions in states that have legalized and that are regulating the use of marijuana, either medically or otherwise”. He has not yet reissued the Cole Memorandum, however, or issued substitute guidance. In the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act (the “Act”), Congress included the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment which prohibits the Department of Justice from spending funds authorized under the Act to interfere with the implementation of state Laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical cannabis until September 30, 2023.

Multiple legislative and executive administrative reforms related to cannabis and cannabis-related banking and taxation are currently being considered by the federal government in the United States. Examples include President Biden’s mandate for administrative review of rescheduling cannabis to a lower schedule on the CSA; the States Reform Act; the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act; the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement Act; the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act; and the Capital Lending and Investment for Marijuana Businesses (CLIMB) Act; H.R. 9702 to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow deductions and credits relating to expenditures in connection with marijuana sales conducted in compliance with state Law. There can be no assurance that the administrative review of cannabis will result in rescheduling of cannabis under the CSA, or that any of the above pieces of legislation will be reintroduced in the 118th Congress or ultimately become Law in the United States.

(i) Due to the classification of marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA, banks and other financial institutions which service the cannabis industry are at risk of violating certain financial Laws, including anti-money laundering statutes. Because the cultivation, manufacturing, processing, possession, transportation, distribution, and sale of cannabis is prohibited under the CSA, banks and other financial institutions providing services to cannabis-related businesses risk violation of federal anti-money laundering statutes (18 U.S.C. §§ 1956 and 1957), the unlicensed money-remitter statute (18 U.S.C. § 1960) and the Bank Secrecy Act. These statutes can impose criminal liability for engaging in certain financial and monetary transactions with the proceeds of a “specified unlawful activity” such as distributing controlled substances which are illegal under federal Law, including cannabis, and for failing to identify or report financial transactions that involve the proceeds of cannabis- related violations of the CSA. The Company may also be exposed to the foregoing risks. In the event that any of the Company’s investments, or any proceeds thereof, any dividends or distributions therefrom, or any profits or revenues accruing from such investments in the United States were found to be in violation of money laundering legislation or otherwise, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds of crime under one or more of the statutes noted above or any other applicable legislation.

- 19 -

(j) Third-party service providers to the Company may withdraw or suspend their service under threat of prosecution. Since under U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws the cultivation, manufacturing, processing, possession, transportation, distribution, and sale of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia is prohibited, and any such acts are criminal acts under U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws, companies that provide goods and/or services to companies engaged in cannabis-related activities may, under threat of federal civil and/or criminal prosecution, suspend or withdraw their services. Any suspension of service and inability to procure goods or services from an alternative source, even on a temporary basis, that causes interruptions in the Company’s operations could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s business.

(k) FDA regulation of medical-use cannabis and the possible registration of facilities where cannabis is cultivated, manufactured, and/or distributed could negatively affect the medical-use cannabis industry, which would directly affect the Company’s financial condition. Should the federal government legalize cannabis for medical or adult-use use, it is possible that the FDA, would seek to regulate it under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Additionally, the FDA may issue rules and regulations including, but not limited to, good manufacturing practice, related to the cultivation, manufacturing, processing, possession, transportation, distribution, advertising and sale of cannabis. Clinical trials may be needed to demonstrate efficacy and safety to support medical claims. It is also possible that the FDA would require that facilities where cannabis is cultivated, manufactured, processed, possessed, transported, distributed, and/or sold to register with the FDA and comply with certain federally prescribed regulations. In the event that some or all of these regulations are imposed, it is unknown what the impact would be on the cannabis industry, including what costs, requirements and possible prohibitions may be enforced. If the Company is unable to comply with the regulations or registration as prescribed by the FDA it may have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

(l) The Company is likely subject to Section 280E of the Code because of its business activities and the resulting disallowance of tax deductions could cause it to incur more than anticipated U.S. federal income tax. Under Section 280E of the Code (“Section 280E”), “no deduction or credit shall be allowed for any amount paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business if such trade or business (or the activities which comprise such trade or business) consists of trafficking in controlled substances (within the meaning of schedules I and II of the CSA) which is prohibited by Federal law or the law of any State in which such trade or business is conducted.” Cannabis is classified under schedule I of the CSA. Consequently, this provision has been applied by the IRS to cannabis operations, prohibiting them from deducting ordinary business expenses directly associated with the sale of cannabis. Section 280E therefore has a significant impact on the retail side of cannabis operations, but a lesser impact on cultivation and manufacturing operations. A result of Section 280E is that the effective tax rate on cannabis businesses may be extraordinarily high, and an otherwise profitable business may, in fact, operate at a loss, after taking into account its income tax expenses.

- 20 -

(m) The Company’s operations in the United States may become the subject of heightened scrutiny by regulators and other authorities. The Company may be subject to significant direct and indirect interaction with public officials as a result of such heightened scrutiny. There can be no assurance that this heightened scrutiny will not in turn lead to the imposition of certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to operate or invest in the United States or any other jurisdiction. Government policy changes or public opinion may also result in a significant influence over the regulation of the cannabis industry. A negative shift in the public’s perception of medical-use and/or adult-use cannabis in the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction could affect future legislation or regulation. Among other things, such a shift could cause state jurisdictions to abandon initiatives or proposals to regulate medical and/or adult-use cannabis, thereby limiting the number of new state jurisdictions into which the Company could expand. Any inability to fully implement the Company’s expansion strategy may have a Material Adverse Effect.

(n) Subscriber’s investment in the Company may itself be illegal under federal Law; changes in federal enforcement affecting the cannabis industry may cause adverse effects on the Company’s business. Overall, an investor’s contribution to and involvement in the Company’s activities may result in federal civil and/or criminal prosecution, including forfeiture of his, her or its entire investment.

The Company is materially complying with state-regulated cannabis programs, regardless of its legal status under federal Law, and Subscriber’s investment has been designed to be compliant with all applicable state Laws and regulations to which the Company are subject; however, under federal Law, such investments may be considered illegal under the CSA (particularly 21 U.S.C. § 854) or other indirect criminal liability theories such as aiding and abetting or conspiracy. Additionally, financial transactions involving proceeds generated by cannabis-related conduct can form the basis for prosecution under the federal money laundering statutes (18 U.S.C. § 1956), the unlicensed money transmitter statute and the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act. If the federal government were to reverse its long-standing hands-off approach to the state legal cannabis markets and start more broadly enforcing federal Laws regarding cannabis, investors or the Company itself could also face criminal liability; in the event that investors or the Company faces enforcement it would likely be unable to execute its business plan, and its business and financial results would be adversely affected.

(o) The Company, its officers, investors or other stakeholders may be required to disclose personal information to government or regulatory entities; failing to do so could negatively impact the Company’s business, financial conditions or results of operations. The Company operates U.S. state-licensed cannabis businesses. Acquiring even a minimal or indirect interest in a U.S. state-licensed cannabis business can trigger requirements to disclose officers’, investors’ and other stakeholders’ personal information. While these requirements vary by jurisdiction, some require interest holders to apply for regulatory approval and to provide tax returns, compensation agreements, fingerprints for background checks, criminal history records and other documents and information. Some states require disclosures of directors, officers and holders of more than a specified percentage of equity of the applicant. While some states include exceptions for investments in publicly traded entities, not all states do so, and some such exceptions are confined to companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange. If these regulations apply to the Company, investors, officers and other stakeholders are required to comply with such regulations or face the possibility that any relevant cannabis license indirectly held by the Company could be revoked or cancelled by the state licensing authority.

FIFTH.              In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware:

4

A.           Subject to any additional vote required by this Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws, the board of directors of the Corporation is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation.

B.           Subject to any additional vote required by this Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be determined in the manner set forth in the bylaws of the Corporation.

C.           Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

D.           The books of the Corporation may be kept at such place within or without the State of Delaware as the bylaws of the Corporation may provide or as may be designated from time to time by the board of directors of the Corporation.

E.           Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the bylaws of the Corporation may provide.

SIXTH.             Each director shall be entitled to cast one (1) vote on all matters and resolutions presented to the board of directors. In the event that the requisite affirmative vote on any matter or resolution presented to the board of directors cannot otherwise be obtained by directors entitled to cast one (1) vote, the duly elected chairperson (excluding any temporary chairperson or member of the board acting as chairperson in the absence of the elected chairperson) of the board shall thereupon instead be entitled to cast two (2) votes on such matter or resolution.

SEVENTH.      Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the Corporation.

EIGHTH.          To the fullest extent permitted by law, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the General Corporation Law or any other law of the State of Delaware is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article Eighth to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law as so amended.

5

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Eighth by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to, such repeal or modification.

NINTH.             The following indemnification provisions shall apply to the persons enumerated below.

A.           Right to Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an “Indemnified Person”) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section C of this Article Ninth, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified Person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnified Person only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnified Person was authorized in advance by the board of directors.

B.           Prepayment of Expenses of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnified Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article Ninth or otherwise.

C.           Claims by Directors and Officers. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article Ninth is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnified Person has been received by the Corporation, the Indemnified Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

6

D.           Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or, while an employee or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorney’s fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding. The ultimate determination of entitlement to indemnification of persons who are non-director or officer employees or agents shall be made in such manner as is determined by the board of directors in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person if the Proceeding was not authorized in advance by the board of directors.

E.            Advancement of Expenses of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may pay the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by an employee or agent in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the board of directors.

F.            Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Article Ninth shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, other provision of this Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

G.           Other Indemnification. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.

H.           Insurance. The board of directors may, to the full extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, authorize an appropriate officer or officers to purchase and maintain at the Corporation’s expense insurance: (a) to indemnify the Corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors, officers and employees under the provisions of this Article Ninth; and (b) to indemnify or insure directors, officers and employees against liability in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Corporation under the provisions of this Article Ninth.

I.            Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Ninth shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. The rights provided hereunder shall inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person and such person’s heirs, executors and administrators.

Section 1.         Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders may be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as determined by the board of directors (the “Board”) or the chief executive officer, or if not so designated, at the registered office of Curaleaf, Inc. (the “Corporation”). The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication.

Section 2.         Annual Meeting. Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held on the second Tuesday in August in each year following the first fiscal year end of the Corporation if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday, then on the next secular day following, at 10:00 a.m., or at such other date and time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board or the chief executive officer, at which meeting the holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote shall elect the members of the Board in accordance with the shareholders agreement entered into by the stockholders of the Corporation (as amended and in effect, the “Shareholders Agreement”) and shall transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. If no date for the annual meeting is established or said meeting is not held on the date established as provided above, a special meeting in lieu thereof may be held or there may be action by written consent of the stockholders on matters to be voted on at the annual meeting, and such special meeting or written consent shall have for the purposes of these third amended and restated bylaws (as amended and in effect, these “Bylaws”) or otherwise all the force and effect of an annual meeting.

Section 3.         Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (as so amended and in effect, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), be called by the Board or the chief executive officer or secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the Board. The notice of meeting shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

Section 4.         Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, written notice of each meeting of stockholders, annual or special, stating the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten or more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, in the manner set forth in Article IV of these Bylaws, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and to each other stockholder who, under the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or the Shareholders Agreement is entitled to such notice.

Section 5.        Voting List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section shall require the Corporation 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 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) 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 (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. 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 inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, 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 6.        Quorum. Holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or the Shareholders Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if proper notice of a stockholders’ meeting is given, and a quorum of stockholders is not present, a second stockholders’ meeting may be held on 48 hours written notice to transact the business specified in the original notice; provided, that, such other meeting is either (i) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment for lack of a quorum is taken, or (ii) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxy holders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication. If there is only one stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, the quorum for such meeting shall be such stockholder, present in person or represented by proxy, and such stockholder may constitute the meeting.

Section 7.         Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned from time to time to any other time and to any other place, if any, at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Bylaws, which time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting shall be announced at the meeting, by holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, though less than a quorum, or, if no stockholder is present or represented by proxy, by any officer entitled to preside at or to act as secretary of such meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of the Corporation in the manner set forth in Section 4 of this Article I and in Article IV of these Bylaws.

When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote on the question shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or the Shareholders Agreement, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Section 9.         Voting and Proxies. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock having voting power held of record by such stockholder. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

Section 10.      Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or the Shareholders Agreement, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting shall be given to the other stockholders of the Corporation, including those stockholders who were not entitled to vote on the matter.

An electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the 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 proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (B) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such electronic transmission. The date on which such electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on delivery, consents given by electronic transmission may be otherwise delivered to the principal place of business of the Corporation or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded if, to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the Board of the Corporation.

For purposes of this section the term “entire board” shall mean the number of directors last fixed by the stockholders or directors, as the case may be, in accordance with law, these Bylaws and the Shareholders Agreement; provided, however, that if less than all the number so fixed of directors were elected, the “entire board” shall mean the greatest number of directors so elected to hold office at any one time pursuant to such authorization. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, a majority of the directors present at such meeting may adjourn the meeting, subject to providing at least twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to the remaining directors of the time and place of such adjourned meeting. At ‎such reconvened meeting, the quorum shall be at least two (2) directors, subject to applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Shareholders Agreement; provided that only matters contained in the original notice of meeting delivered pursuant ‎to these Bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware shall be transacted at such adjourned meeting.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board or of any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or of any committee, as the case may be, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

Section 12.      Committees. The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, any decision regarding the hiring, termination of employment or material change in the responsibilities of any executive officer, or amending the Bylaws of the Corporation; or to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock.

Whenever, under the provisions of law, or of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, written notice is required to be given to any director or stockholder, such notice may be given by mail, addressed to such director or stockholder, at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United States mail. Unless written notice by mail is required by law, written notice may also be given by telegram, cable, telecopy, commercial delivery service, telex, other electronic transmission or similar means, addressed to such director or stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, in which case such notice shall be deemed to be given when delivered into the control of the persons charged with effecting such transmission, the transmission charge to be paid by the Corporation or the person sending such notice and not by the addressee. Oral notice or other in-hand delivery (in person or by telephone) shall be deemed given at the time it is actually given.

Section 2.        Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting needs to be specified in any written waiver or any waiver by electronic transmission.

Section 3.         Electronic Notice.

(a)      Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of law, the Certificate 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 (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (2) 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; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

(b)      Notice given pursuant to subsection (a) of this section shall be deemed given: (1) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (2) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (3) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (4) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. 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 electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

(c)      For purposes of these Bylaws, (1) “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process, (2) “electronic mail” means an electronic transmission directed to a unique electronic mail address (which electronic mail shall be deemed to include any files attached thereto and any information hyperlinked to a website if such electronic mail includes the contact information of an officer or agent of the Corporation who is available to assist with accessing such files and information), and (3) “electronic mail address” means a destination, commonly expressed as a string of characters, consisting of a unique user name or mailbox (commonly referred to as the “local part” of the address) and a reference to an internet domain (commonly referred to as the “domain part” of the address), whether or not displayed, to which electronic mail can be sent or delivered.

ARticle v.
INDEMNIFICATION

The following indemnification provisions shall apply to the persons enumerated below.

Section 1.        Right to Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an “Indemnified Person”) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Article V, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified Person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnified Person only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnified Person was authorized in advance by the Board.

Section 2.        Prepayment of Expenses of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnified Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article V or otherwise.

Section 3.        Claims by Directors and Officers. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article V is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnified Person has been received by the Corporation, the Indemnified Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

Section 4.        Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or, while an employee or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorney’s fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding. The ultimate determination of entitlement to indemnification of persons who are non-director or officer employees or agents shall be made in such manner as is determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person if the Proceeding was not authorized in advance by the Board.

11

Section 5.         Advancement of Expenses of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may pay the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by an employee or agent in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Board.

Section 6.         Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Certificate of Incorporation, other provisions of these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 7.        Other Indemnification. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.

Section 8.         Insurance. The Board may, to the full extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, authorize an appropriate officer or officers to purchase and maintain at the Corporation’s expense insurance: (a) to indemnify the Corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors, officers and employees under the provisions of this Article V; and (b) to indemnify or insure directors, officers and employees against liability in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Corporation under the provisions of this Article V.

Section 9.         Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article V shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. The rights provided hereunder shall inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person and such person’s heirs, executors and administrators.

ARTICLE VI.
CAPITAL STOCK

Section 1.         Register of Stockholders. A record shall be kept of the respective names of the persons or entities owning the stock of the Corporation, the number of shares held by such persons or entities, and the respective dates of issuance, and in the case of cancellation, the respective dates of cancellation.

Section 2.        Certificates of Stock; Uncertificated Shares. Shares of stock of the Corporation may be certificated or uncertificated, as provided under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Certificates for the shares of stock, if any, shall be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock in the Corporation represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by or in the name of the Corporation by, the chairman or vice-chairman of the Board, or the president or a vice-president and the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by him in the Corporation. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

12

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 the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or 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.

The Corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate (if any) 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 3.        Lost Certificates. The Board may direct a new certificate or certificate, or uncertificated stock, to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, or such uncertificated stock, the Board 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 his legal representative, to give reasonable evidence of such loss, theft or destruction, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated stock.

Section 4.        Transfer of Stock. Any transfer of shares of the stock of the Corporation shall be made in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and the Shareholders Agreement. Transfers of shares of the stock of the Corporation shall be made by, in the case of certificated shares of stock, surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares properly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, in which case the Corporation shall issue to the person entitled thereto a new certificate or uncertificated stock, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. Transfers of uncertificated stock shall be made in compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring stock in uncertificated form, which shall include receipt of appropriate evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer.

13

Section 5.         Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty days nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action to which such record date relates. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day before the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day before the day on which the meeting is held. The record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating to such purpose.

Section 6.         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 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 Delaware.

Section 7.         Regulations. The Board may make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient, not inconsistent with these Bylaws and the Shareholders Agreement, concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares of stock of the Corporation. The Board may appoint or authorize any officer or officers to appoint one or more transfer clerks, any of whom may be employees of the Corporation, or one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars, and may require all certificates for stock to bear the signature or signatures of any of them; provided, however, that the signature of any transfer clerk, transfer agent, or registrar may be facsimile. In case any transfer clerk, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such transfer clerk, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such transfer clerk, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.

Any records maintained by the Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account, and minute books, may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device, or method provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time. The Corporation shall so convert any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect such records pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. When records are kept in such manner, a clearly legible paper form produced from or by means of the information storage device or method shall be admissible in evidence, and accepted for all other purposes, to the same extent as an original paper record of the same information would have been, provided the paper form accurately portrays the record.
