Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On November 9, 2023, as part of its periodic review
of corporate governance matters and in connection with the universal proxy rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Cryoport, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted an amendment and restatement of the
Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (as so amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), effective as
h, in order to, among other things:
| · | update the procedural and disclosure requirements
for the nomination for directors, including, among other things, requiring that any stockholder seeking to nominate director(s) at a stockholder’s
meeting provide the Company with certain representations, information and evidence regarding compliance with Rule 14a-19 under the Securities
Exchange Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); |
| · | implement a requirement that any stockholder
directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, with the white proxy card
being reserved for exclusive use by the Board; and |
| · | clarify that if a stockholder submitting a director
nomination fails to comply with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, then such nominee proposed by such stockholder will be ineligible
for election and any votes in respect of such nominee will be disregarded. |
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated
Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amended and Restated
Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

BYLAWS

CRYPORT, INC.
(as amended and restated as of November 9, 2023)
ARTICLE I
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1. Annual Meeting.
(a)
An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the purpose of the election of directors to succeed those whose terms may expire in
such year and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place within or
without the State of Nevada or solely by means of remote communication, on such date, and at such time as may be designated by the Board
of Directors each year.
(b)
Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be transacted by the stockholders
may only be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (i) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of such meeting, (ii) by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors, or (iii) by any stockholder of record of the corporation at the time of the giving of the notice
required in Section 1(c) who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section
1. The foregoing clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or propose business (other than business
included in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such
act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)), at an annual meeting of stockholders.
(c) For
nominations or business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder of record pursuant to clause (iii) of
Section 1(b), (i) the stockholder of record must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation,
(ii) the stockholder of record must provide to the Secretary of the corporation any updates, supplements or additional information
to such notice at the times and in the forms specified in this Section 1, (iii) any such business must be a proper matter for
stockholder action under the Nevada Revised Statutes and (iv) the stockholder of record and the beneficial owner or owners, if any,
on whose behalf any such proposal or nomination is made, must have acted in accordance with the representations and undertakings set
forth in the Solicitation Statement (as defined in Section 1(d)(iii)(D)). To be timely, a notice by a stockholder of record must be
received by the Secretary of the corporation at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than 90 or more than 120
days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however,
that, subject to the last sentence of this Section 1(c), if the meeting is convened more than 60 days prior to or delayed by more
than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding
year, notice by the stockholder of record to be timely must be so received not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day
prior to the date of the annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90th day before such annual
meeting or (ii) if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such
annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.
Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the
Board of Directors is increased and there has been no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or indicating the
increase in the size of the Board of Directors made by the corporation at least 10 days before the last day, a stockholder of record
may deliver a notice of nomination in accordance with the preceding sentence. A notice by a stockholder of record required by this
Section 1 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase in the
number of directors, if it shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than
the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation. In no
event shall an adjournment, or postponement of an annual meeting for which notice has been given, commence a new time period for the
giving of a notice by a stockholder of record.
(d)
Such notice by a stockholder of record shall set forth:
(i)
If such notice pertains to the nomination of directors, as to each person whom the stockholder of record proposes to nominate for
election or reelection as a director: (A) all information relating to such person as would be required to be disclosed in solicitations
of proxies for the election of such nominees as directors in a contested election (even if a contested election is not involved), or would
otherwise be required in connection with such solicitation, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (or any successor
provision or law) or applicable law; (B) such person’s written consent to (x) being named as a nominee of such stockholder of record,
(y) being named in the corporation’s form of proxy pursuant to Rule 14-19 under the Exchange Act and (z) serving as a director of
the corporation if elected; (C) a description of all direct and indirect compensation or other material monetary agreements, arrangements
and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among such stockholder of record and
beneficial owner or owners, if any, and their respective affiliates and associates, or other persons acting in concert therewith, on the
one hand, and each proposed nominee and his or her respective affiliates and associates or other persons acting in concert therewith,
on the other hand, including without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated
under Regulation S-K if the stockholder of record making the nomination and any beneficial owner or owners, if any, or other person on
whose behalf the nomination is made, or any affiliate or associate thereof or other person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant”
for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant; and (D) a completed and signed questionnaire,
representation or agreement as may be required by the corporation pursuant to Section 3 of Article II of these bylaws. For purposes of
these bylaws, a person shall be deemed to be acting in concert with another person if such person knowingly acts toward a common goal
relating to the management, governance or control of the corporation in parallel with such other person where (A) each person is conscious
of the other person’s conduct or intent and this awareness is an element in their decision-making process and (B) at least one additional
factor suggests that persons intend to act in parallel, which additional factors may include attending meetings, conducting discussions
or making or soliciting invitations to act in parallel.
(ii) As
to any business that the stockholder of record proposes to bring before the meeting: a brief description of such business, the
reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, any material interest in such business of such stockholder of record and the
beneficial owner or owners, if any, or other persons on whose behalf the proposal is made or acting in concert therewith and a
description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder of record and beneficial owner or owners, if
any, and any other such person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such
stockholder of record.
(iii)
As to (1) the stockholder of record giving the notice and (2) the beneficial owner or owners, if any, or other persons on whose
behalf the nomination or proposal is made or acting in concert therewith (each, a “party”):
| (A) |
| the name and address of each such party; |
| (B) |
| (1) the class, series, and number of shares of the corporation that are owned, directly or indirectly,
beneficially and of record by each such party, (2) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right
with an exercise or conversion privilege or providing for a settlement payment or mechanism based on the price of any class or series
of shares of the corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the corporation,
whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the corporation
or otherwise (a “Derivative Instrument”) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by each such party, and any other direct
or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the corporation,
(3) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which any party, either directly or acting in concert
with another person or persons, has a right to vote, directly or indirectly, any shares of any security of the corporation, (4) any short
interest or other borrowing arrangement in any security of the corporation held by each such party (for purposes of this Section 1(d),
a person shall be deemed to have a short interest in a security if such person directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement,
understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value
of the subject security), (5) any rights to dividends on the shares of the corporation owned beneficially directly or indirectly by each
such party that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the corporation, (6) any proportionate interest in shares of
the corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which any party is a general
partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner and (7) any performance-related fees (other than
an asset-based fee) that each such party is directly or indirectly entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares
of the corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held
by members of each such party’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information set forth in this paragraph shall
be supplemented by such stockholder or such beneficial owner or other person,
as the case may be, not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date); |
| (C) |
| any other information relating to each such party that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement
or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election
of directors in a contested election (even if a contested election is not involved), or would otherwise be required in connection with
such a solicitation, in each case pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act (whether or not such party intends to deliver a proxy statement
or conduct its own proxy solicitation); and |
| (D) |
| a representation and undertaking as to whether each such party intends, or is part of a group that intends,
to (A) deliver a proxy statement or form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a proposal, at least the percentage of voting power of
all of the shares of capital stock of the corporation required under applicable law to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination
or nominations for election as directors, at least the percentage of voting power of all of the shares of capital stock of the corporation
reasonably believed by the stockholder of record or beneficial owner or owners, as the case may be, to be sufficient to elect the persons
proposed to be nominated by the stockholder of record (which representation and undertaking must include a statement as to whether such
party intends to solicit the requisite percentage of the voting power of the corporation’s stock under Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange
Act); or (B) otherwise solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination (such representation and undertaking,
a “Solicitation Statement”). |
(iv) A
stockholder of record providing notice of a nomination of director or other business proposed to be brought before a meeting shall
further update and supplement such notice, (1) if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such
notice pursuant to this Section 1 shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is 10
business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling, postponement or other delay thereof, and (2) to provide any
additional information that the corporation may reasonably request. Any such update and supplement or additional information must be
received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation (A) in the case of a request for additional
information, promptly following a request therefor, which response must be received by the Secretary not later than such reasonable
time as is specified in any such request from the corporation; or (B) in the case of any other update or supplement of any
information, not later than five business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement
required to be made as of the record date), and not later than five business days prior to the date for the meeting, if practicable
(or, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to), or any adjournment, rescheduling, postponement or other delay
thereof (in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment
or postponement thereof). No later than five business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling, postponement or
other delay thereof, a stockholder nominating individuals for election as a director will provide the corporation with reasonable
evidence that such stockholder has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act. The failure to timely provide such
update, supplement, evidence or additional information shall result in the nomination or proposal no longer being eligible for
consideration at the meeting. If the stockholder fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act
(including because the stockholder fails to provide the corporation with all information or notices required by Rule 14a-19 under
the Exchange Act), then the director nominees proposed by such stockholder shall be ineligible for election at the meeting and any
votes or proxies in respect of such nomination shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that such proxies may have been received by the
corporation and counted for the purposes of determining quorum. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement,
or provide additional information or evidence, as set forth in these bylaws shall not limit the corporation’s rights with
respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines pursuant to these bylaws or
enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice pursuant to these bylaws to amend or update any
nomination or to submit any new nomination. No disclosure pursuant to these bylaws will be required with respect to the ordinary
course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is the stockholder submitting
a notice pursuant to Sections 1(c) and 1(d) hereof solely because such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other
nominee has been directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner.
(e)
A person shall not be eligible for election or re-election as a director at an annual meeting unless (i) the person is nominated
by a stockholder of record in accordance with Section 1(b)(iii); or (ii) the person is nominated by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof. Only such business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders as shall
have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section. The chair of the meeting shall have
the power and the duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting has been made in accordance
with the procedures set forth in these bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these bylaws, to declare
that such proposed business or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded.
(f)
For purposes of these bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national
news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(g)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this Section 1. Nothing in this Section
1 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant
to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
Section 2. Special Meetings.
(a)
Special meetings of the stockholders, other than those required by statute, may only be called by (i) the Board of Directors, (ii)
the Chairman of the Board, (iii) the Chief Executive Officer of the corporation or (iv) holders of more than seventy-five percent (75%)
of the outstanding shares of the corporation then entitled to vote. If any person(s) calls a special meeting pursuant to clause (iv),
the request shall:
(i)
be in writing and be delivered in person or by registered mail to the Secretary of the corporation;
(ii)
specify in reasonable detail the valid purpose(s) of and the business proposed to be conducted at the special meeting;
(iii)
specify the valid reasons for conducting such business at a special meeting;
(iv)
suggest a date for the special meeting, which date shall be no fewer than ninety (90) and no more than one hundred twenty (120)
days after the date on which the request is delivered to the Secretary of the corporation; and
(v)
satisfy the notice requirements for nominations or business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder of
record as set forth in Section 1(d) of Article I.
(b)
If the Board of Directors determines that a stockholder’s request for a special meeting complies with the corporation’s
articles of incorporation and these bylaws and the reasons and purposes are valid, the Board of Directors shall call and send notice of
a special meeting for the purpose set forth in such request. The Board of Directors shall determine the date for such special meeting
and the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting; provided, however, that the date of any such special
meeting shall be not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the request to call the special meeting is received by the Secretary
unless a later date is required in order to allow the corporation to file the information required under Regulation 14A promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Business transacted at a special meeting requested by stockholders shall be limited to
the purpose(s) stated in the request, unless the Board of Directors submits additional matters to stockholders at any special meeting
requested by stockholders.
(c)
Given the expense and resource commitment of holding a special meeting, in making the decision to call a special meeting in response
to stockholder requests, the Board of Directors shall have discretion as to the call and purposes of a meeting and may refuse to call
a special meeting if the meeting request (i) relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under
applicable law, (ii) for a purpose identical or similar to a purpose for which a previous special or annual meeting was held in the previous
120 days, (iii) if an annual meeting is to be held within 120 days the date on which the request is delivered to the Secretary of the
corporation, or (iv) if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, the purpose of the proposed meeting does not present a
time sensitive issue that must be addressed before the next scheduled annual meeting.
(d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this Section 2. Nothing in this Section
2 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant
to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
Section 3. Notice of Meetings.
(a) Notice of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, place, if any, date, and time of all meetings of the stockholders,
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 meeting, shall be given in writing, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date on which the meeting is to be held,
to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law (meaning, here and hereinafter,
as required from time to time by the Nevada Revised Statutes or the corporation’s articles of incorporation). Such written notice
shall be delivered in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes 78.370 and Article VI below.
(b)
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place,
if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in
person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the
date of any adjourned meeting is more than 30 days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date
is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the place, if any, date, and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communications,
if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, shall be given
in conformity herewith. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
Section 4. Quorum.
(a) At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the shares of the stock entitled to
vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy, regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters, shall constitute
a quorum for all purposes, unless or except to the extent that the presence of a larger number may be required by law. Where a separate
vote by a class or classes or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series present
in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter.
(b) If
a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chair of the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another place, if any, date, or time
without notice other than announcement at the meeting. 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 meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for
more than 30 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 record entitled to vote at the meeting. A holder of stock shall be treated as being
present at a meeting if the holder of such stock is (i) present in person at the meeting or (ii) represented at the meeting by a
valid proxy executed in writing (or in such other manner permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes) by the stockholder, or by such
person’s duly authorized attorney in fact.
Section 5. Presiding Officers of the Meeting.
The Chairman of the Board
or, in his or her absence, the Chief Executive Officer of the corporation or, in his or her absence, such person as may be chosen by the
Board of Directors, or if there are not remaining directors serving, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the
voting power of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall call to order any meeting of
the stockholders and act as chair of the meeting. In the absence of the Secretary of the corporation, the secretary of the meeting shall
be such person as the chair of the meeting appoints.
Section 6. Conduct of Business.
The chair of any meeting of
stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the matters to be voted
upon by the stockholders, the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in order. The chair shall have the
power to adjourn the meeting to another place, if any, date and time. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each
matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting. No ballots, proxies or votes, nor any revocations
thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors or the chair of the meeting after the closing of the polls unless a court
of law shall determine otherwise.
Section 7. Proxies and Voting.
(a)
At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy authorized by an instrument
in writing or by an electronic transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting. Any copy,
facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission authorized pursuant to this paragraph
may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or
transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction
of the entire original writing or transmission.
(b)
The corporation may, and to the extent required by law, shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors
to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The corporation may designate one or more alternate inspectors to replace any
inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting
may, and to the extent required by law, shall, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon
the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality
and according to the best of his or her ability. Every vote taken by ballots shall be counted by a duly appointed inspector or inspectors.
(c)
When a quorum is present at a meeting, all elections of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, and except
as otherwise required by law, all other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively. In determining
the number of votes cast, shares abstaining from voting or not voted on a matter (including elections) will not be treated as votes cast.
The provisions of this Section 7(c) will govern with respect to all votes of stockholders except as otherwise provided for in these bylaws
or in the corporation’s articles of incorporation or by some specific statutory provision, regulation or rule superseding the provisions
contained in these bylaws or the corporation’s articles of incorporation.
(d)
Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white,
which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board of Directors.
Section 8. Stockholder List.
A complete list of stockholders
entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each
such stockholder and the number of shares registered in his or her name, shall be open to the examination of any such stockholder for
a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting in the manner provided by law. The stock list shall also be open to the examination
of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting as provided by law. This list shall presumptively determine the identity of the
stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.
Section 9. Action by Written
Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the corporation (if the corporation has more than one
stockholder at such time) must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation and may not be
effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
Article II
Board of Directors
Section 1. Number, Election and Term of
Directors.
Unless otherwise provided
in the Articles of Incorporation, the authorized number of directors shall be not less than 1 (minimum number) nor more than 9 (maximum
number). The number of directors shall always be within the limits specified above, and as determined by resolution adopted by the Board
of Directors. Neither the maximum nor minimum number of directors can be changed, nor can a fixed number be substituted for the maximum
and minimum numbers, except by a duly adopted amendment to the corporations’ articles of incorporation duly approved by a majority
of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until removed.
However, if his/her term expires, he shall continue to serve until his/her successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until there

vote of the directors then in office, whether or not such directors number less than a quorum (and not by stockholders), and directors

Stock
Section 1. Certificates of Stock; Uncertificated

The shares of stock at the corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors may provide,
by resolution, that some or all classes or series of its stock may be uncertificated shares.
(b)
Each holder of stock represented by certificates, and upon request, every holder of uncertificated shares, shall be entitled to
a certificate signed by, or in the name of the corporation by, the Chief Executive Officer or the President, and by the Secretary, an
Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, certifying the number of shares owned by him or her. Any or all of the signatures
on the certificate may be by facsimile in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes 78.235(2). In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar
who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar
before such certificate is issued, such certificate may nonetheless be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person
were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
Section 2. Transfers of Stock.
Transfers of stock shall be
made only upon the transfer books of the corporation kept at an office of the corporation or by transfer agents designated to transfer
shares of the stock of the corporation. Except where a certificate is issued in accordance with Section 4 of Article V of these bylaws,
an outstanding certificate for the number of shares involved, if one has been issued, shall be surrendered for cancellation before a new
certificate, if any, is issued therefor.
Section 3. Record Date.
(a) In
order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or to
receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or 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 of Directors may, except as otherwise
required by law, fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is
adopted and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of any meeting of stockholders, nor
more than 60 days prior to the time for such other action as hereinbefore described; provided, however, that if no record date is
fixed by the Board of Directors, 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 next preceding the day on which the first notice is given or, if notice is
waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held, and, for determining stockholders
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of rights or to exercise any rights of change,
conversion or exchange of stock or for any other purpose, the record date shall be at the close of business on the day on which the
Board of Directors adopts a resolution relating thereto.

Notices

it appears on the records of the corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders
pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation
under any provision of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form
of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder
by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:
(a)
the stockholder is unable to receive by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance
with such consent; and
(b) such
inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible
for the giving of notice.
However, the inadvertent failure
to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.
An “electronic transmission”
means any form or process of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper or another tangible medium that (i)
is suitable for the retention, retrieval and reproduction of information by the recipient, and (ii) is retrievable and reproducible in
paper form by the recipient through an automated process used in conventional commercial practice unless the sender and recipient have
consented in writing to the use of the form of electronic transmission that cannot be directly reproduced in paper form, but is otherwise
retrievable in perceivable form.
Section 2. Waivers.
A written waiver of any notice,
signed by a stockholder or director, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether given before or after the time of the
event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to the notice required to be given to such person. Neither the business
nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in such a waiver. Attendance at any meeting shall constitute waiver of notice except
attendance for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of business because the meeting is
not lawfully called or convened.
Article VII

such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the corporation by any of its officers or employees, or committees of
the Board of Directors so designated, or by any other person as to matters which such director or committee member reasonably

excluded, and the day of the event shall be included.
Section 6. Dispute Resolution.
To the fullest extent permitted
by law, and unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any
or all actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, administrative or investigative or that asserts any claim or counterclaim (each,

Section 8. Reserves.
Before payment of any dividend,
there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends, such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time
to time, in its absolute discretion, thinks proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for
repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or for such other purpose as the Board of Directors shall think conducive to
the interest of the corporation, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

the context in which used, words in the singular number shall include the plural, words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine
and neuter, and vice versa.
Article VIII
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Section 1. Right to Indemnification.
Each person who was or is
made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she (or a person for whom he
or she is a representative) is or was a director or an officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
in any position or capacity for any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (hereinafter
an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity or in any other capacity
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, as the same exists or may hereafter
be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights than such law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and
loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) incurred or suffered
by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article VIII with respect
to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding
(or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the
corporation.
Section 2. Right to Advancement of Expenses.
In addition to the right
to indemnification conferred in Section 1 of this Article VIII, the corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by
applicable law, pay the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending any such proceeding in
advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, an advancement of
expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service
was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon
delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to
repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right
to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses
under this Section 2 or otherwise.
Section 3. Right of Indemnitee to Bring
Suit.
If a claim under Section 1
or 2 of this Article VIII is not paid in full by the corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the corporation,
except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the indemnitee may
at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, if successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses
pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such
suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee
to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit brought by the corporation to recover
an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a
final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Neither the failure of the corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent
legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee
is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Nevada Revised Statutes,
nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors,
independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption
that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense
to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder,
or brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that
the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VIII or otherwise shall be on
the corporation.
Section 4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights.
The rights to indemnification
and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have
or hereafter acquire under any statute, the corporation’s articles of incorporation, these bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders
or directors, or otherwise.
Section 5. Insurance.
The corporation may maintain
insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Section 6. Indemnification of Employees
and Agents of the Corporation.
The corporation may, to the
extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, grant rights to indemnification
and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article
VIII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the corporation.
Section 7. Nature of Rights.
The rights conferred upon
indemnitees in this Article VIII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.
Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VIII that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or his or her successors shall
be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged
occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.
Article IX
Amendments
The Board of Directors may
amend or repeal these bylaws unless:
(a) the
corporation’s articles of incorporation or the Nevada Revised Statutes reserve this power exclusively to the stockholders, in whole
or part; or
(b) the stockholders, in adopting, amending, or repealing a particular bylaw, provide expressly that the Board of Directors may not
amend or repeal that bylaw; or
(c)
the bylaw either establishes, amends or deletes a “supermajority” stockholder quorum or voting requirement.
A “supermajority”
quorum is a requirement that more than a majority of the votes of the voting group be present to constitute a quorum; and a “supermajority”
voting requirement is any requirement that requires the vote of more than a majority of the affirmative votes of a voting group at a meeting.
The stockholders, but only
if specifically authorized to do so by the corporation’s articles of incorporation, may adopt, amend, or delete a bylaw which fixes
a “supermajority” quorum or “supermajority” voting requirement. The adoption or amendment of a bylaw that adds,
changes, or deletes a “supermajority” quorum or voting requirement for stockholders must meet the same quorum requirement
and be adopted by the same vote required to take action under the quorum and voting requirement then in effect or proposed to be adopted,
whichever is greater.
A bylaw that fixes a supermajority
quorum or voting requirement for stockholders may not be adopted, amended, or repealed by the Board of Directors.
