Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The disclosure required by this Item 3.02
is included in Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. Based in part upon the representations
of the applicable officers and directors of Vertical Data Inc. (the “Company”), the offering and issuance of the RSUs (as
defined below), was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Rule 506(b) of
Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and/or Rule 701 promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities laws.
Item
5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
Certain Officers.
Item 5.02(e) _
On
September 16, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company granted an aggregate of 188,222 restricted stock
units (“RSUs”) to certain of its officers and directors as follows: (i) Deven Soni, the Company’s Chairman of
the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer was granted 81,118 RSUs (target grant value of $383,689); (ii) Christopher Creatura,
the Company’s Chief Credit Officer was granted 43,680 RSUs (target grant value of $206,606); (iii) David Hackett, a member of the
Board, was granted 31,712 RSUs (target grant value of $150,000); and (iv) Jaime Leverton, a member of the Board, was granted 31,712 RSUs
(target grant value of $150,000).
The
RSUs were granted under the Vertical Data Inc. 2024 Incentive Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company during
the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), settles solely in shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis and may
not be settled in cash. The RSUs were 100% vested as of the grant date and are not subject to any continued-service requirement, forfeiture
condition or repurchase right by the Company.
The
RSUs were granted at no cash cost to each recipient. The number of RSUs was determined by dividing the target grant value approved by
the Board by $4.73, the 30-calendar-day volume-weighted average price of the common stock as reported by OTC Markets for the period ended
September 15, 2026, rounded to the nearest whole unit.
Item
5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On
September 17, 2026, the Company held its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at which a quorum was
present. At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company in the form
attached as Appendix A to, and as described in, the Definitive Proxy Statement. The Company believes that the adoption of the
Amended and Restated Bylaws is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders as the Amended and Restated Bylaws represent
current best practices and are more appropriate than the Company’s former bylaws for a company whose shares of common stock are
listed on a national securities exchange. The Company has previously, publicly stated that uplisting its shares of common stock to a
national securities exchange from the OTCQB® Venture Market is a primary near-term objective.
On
September 17, 2026, the Company’s stockholders also approved at the Annual Meeting an amendment (the “Certificate
of Amendment”) to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company in substantially the form attached as Appendix B to,
and as described in, the Definitive Proxy Statement. As a result of the approval of the Certificate of Amendment, the Company
filed the Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Certificate
of Amendment”), which will be effective upon the filing and acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.
The Certificate of Amendment provides for an increase to the total number of the Company’s authorized shares by 10,000,000
that were designated entirely as shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation,
as amended by the Certificate of Amendment, provides for an aggregate of 110,000,000 authorized shares with a par value of
$0.0001 per share, consisting of: 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 authorized
shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Certificate of Amendment also includes a provision regarding (i) indemnification
for the Company’s directors, officers, agents, and employees against certain expenses, liabilities, and losses reasonably incurred
in connection with the provision of certain services to the Company; (ii) a provision stating that the Company’s bylaws may
only be altered, amended, or repealed by an affirmative vote of a majority of the directors, and (iii) an update to the corporate purpose
of the Company, which is all lawful activities permitted under Nevada law.
The
foregoing descriptions of the Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Certificate of Amendment are summaries only and are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Certificate of Amendment, copies of which are filed
as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. An amendment
to this Current Report on Form 8-K will be filed to include the copy of the Certificate of Amendment filed with, and accepted by, the
Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

Section
2. Registered Office. The registered office of the Corporation in the State of Nevada shall be that set forth in the Articles
of Incorporation (as defined below), or such other location as may be designated from time to time by the Board in accordance with the

office or registered agent as permitted by applicable law.
Section
3. Other Offices. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places, both within and without the State of Nevada,
as the Board may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.
ARTICLE
II
STOCKHOLDERS
Section
1. Place of Meeting. Meetings of stockholders may be held at such place, either within or without the State of Nevada, as
may be designated by the Board. If no designation is made, the place of the meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation.
Section
2. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other
business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such time and date as shall be designated from time to time by the
Board, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation (the “Chief Executive Officer”) or the chair of the Board of
Directors (the “Chair”) and stated in the Corporation’s notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise restricted
by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation (as may be amended, restated, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the “Articles
of Incorporation”) or applicable law or the rules or regulations of any regulatory authority or national securities exchange,
the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Chair may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled annual meeting of stockholders,
before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders.
Section

Except as otherwise restricted by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or applicable law or the rules or regulations of

or cancel any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the

Section
4. Notice. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, whether annual or special, a
written notice of the meeting shall be given by the Corporation to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of
the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of such meeting. Such notice shall state the place, if any, date
and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be

Section
5. Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of the stockholders, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned
from time to time for any reason by either the chair of the meeting or by a resolution adopted by the majority of the Board or in accordance
with Section 6 below. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, except as required by law, notice of the adjourned
meeting need not be given if the time, place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and
proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken, if the adjournment is for not more than sixty (60) days later than the date set for the original meeting, and if no new record
date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted
at the original meeting.
Section
6. Quorum. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation, the holders of one-third of the outstanding
shares of each class of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy (regardless
of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any matter), shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction
of business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either the chair of
the meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the
meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in Section 5 hereof, until a quorum shall be present or represented. A quorum,
once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
Section
7. Voting. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of
stockholders shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter
in question. If the Articles of Incorporation provides for more or less than one vote for any share on any matter, every reference in
these Bylaws to a majority or other proportion of stock shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes of such stock.
Section
8. Participation at Stockholder Meetings by Remote Communications. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a
meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance
with NRS 78.320(4) and any applicable part of NRS Chapter 78 or any successor provision. If authorized by the Board in its sole discretion,
and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting
of stockholders may, by means of remote communication, (i) participate in a meeting of stockholders and (ii) be deemed present in person
and vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by remote communication, provided
that (a) the Corporation may implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting
by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (b) the Corporation may implement reasonable measures to provide such
stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders,
including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (c) if
any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or
other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.
Section
9. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders has the right to do so either in person or by one
(1) or more agents authorized by a proxy, which may be in the form of a telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission,
filed with the Secretary of the Corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after six (6) months from its date, unless
the proxy provides for a longer period, which may not exceed seven (7) years. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states
that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.
A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering an instrument
in writing stating that the proxy is revoked or by filing another proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation.
2
Section
10. Procedure for Election of Directors; Required Vote. Election of directors at all meetings of the stockholders at which
directors are to be elected shall be by ballot, and, subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of preferred stock issued by
the Corporation to elect directors under specified circumstances, a plurality of the votes cast thereat shall elect directors. Except
as otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of all classes of stock present in person or represented by proxy at the
meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, provided that (except as otherwise required
by law or by the Articles of Incorporation) the Board of Directors may require a larger vote upon any such matter. Where a separate vote
by class is required, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of each class present in person or represented
by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class, except as otherwise provided by law or by the Articles of Incorporation or these
Bylaws.
Section
11. Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls. The Board of Directors by resolution shall appoint one or more
inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation,
as officers, employees, agents, or representatives, to act at the meetings of stockholders and make a written report thereof. One or
more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been
appointed to act or is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chair of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act
at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging the duties of an inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the
duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of the inspector’s ability. The inspectors shall have the
duties prescribed by law.
Section
12. No Action Without Meeting. No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders
called and noticed in the manner required by these Bylaws. The stockholders may not in any circumstance take action by written consent.
Section
13. Conduct of Meeting. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chair, or, in the absence of the Chair, by
the Chief Executive Officer, or if there be no Chief Executive Officer or in the absence of the Chief Executive Officer, by the president,
or, in the absence of the president, by a chair designated by the Board of Directors. The individual acting as chair of the meeting may
delegate any or all of his or her authority and responsibilities as such to any director or officer of the Corporation present in person
at the meeting. The secretary, or in the absence of the secretary an assistant secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but
in the absence of the secretary and any assistant secretary the chair of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the
meeting. The order of business at each such meeting shall be as determined by the chair of the meeting. The chair of the meeting shall
have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts and things as are necessary
or desirable for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, (i) the establishment of procedures for the maintenance
of order and safety, (ii) limitation on participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized
and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chair of the meeting shall permit, (iii) limitation on the time allotted for consideration
of each agenda item and for questions or comments by meeting participants, (iv) restrictions on entry to such meeting after the time
prescribed for the commencement thereof and (v) the opening and closing of the voting polls.
Section
14. Nomination of Directors. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible
for election as directors. The nomination for election to the Board at a meeting of stockholders may be made (i) pursuant to the notice
of meeting (or supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise by or at the direction of the Board if properly
brought before the meeting of stockholders, or (iii) by any stockholder of record of the Corporation who (a) was a stockholder of record
at the time of giving of notice contemplated in this Section 14, (b) is entitled to vote for the election of directors at such
meeting and (c) has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 14. Clause (iii) of the preceding sentence shall
be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations for election of directors before a meeting of stockholders, and, unless
the Board has determined that directors will be elected at a special meeting of the stockholders, no stockholder may nominate directors
for election at any special meeting of the stockholders. Nominations, other than those made by or on behalf of the Board, shall be made
by notice in writing, which shall include the information contemplated by this Section 14, delivered or mailed by first class
United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary, and (A) with respect to an annual meeting held pursuant to Section 2 hereof,
received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120)
days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that
if the annual meeting is not held within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date, then such nomination shall have been
delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which
the notice of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure (as defined below) of the date of such meeting was made,
whichever occurs first, and (B) with respect to a special meeting of the stockholders held pursuant to Section 3 hereof, at which
the Board has determined that directors will be elected, received by the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which
public disclosure of the date of such meeting was made. Except as otherwise required by the NRS or Section 5 hereof, in no event
shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual or special meeting of the stockholders or the announcement thereof commence a new
time period for the delivery of such notice by a stockholder. For the avoidance of doubt, a stockholder shall not be entitled to make
additional or substitute nominations following the expiration of the time periods set forth in these Bylaws.
3

or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class (or, if applicable, series) of shares of stock of the Corporation
or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class (or, if applicable, series) of shares of stock of the Corporation,
whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of stock of the Corporation
or otherwise (each, a “Derivative Instrument”) directly or indirectly owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder
or any Stockholder Associated Person 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 stock of the Corporation by the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, (d) any proxy,
contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person has a right
to vote any securities of the Corporation, (e) any proportionate interest in shares of stock of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments

voting shares representing at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote generally in the election

shares of stock of the Corporation and each person who has a pecuniary interest in such shares of stock in lieu of the stockholder. In
addition, any nominee proposed by a stockholder shall complete a questionnaire, in a form provided by the Corporation, within ten (10)

a director of the Corporation.

A

information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 14 shall be true and correct (i) as of
the record date for the meeting and (ii) as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, recess,

Subject
to the Articles of Incorporation and applicable law, only persons nominated in accordance with procedures stated in this Section 14
shall be eligible for election as and to serve as a member of the Board of Directors.
The

shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable

such stockholder with respect to the capital stock or any other security or Derivative Instrument of the Corporation.
Section
15. Advance Notice of Business at Meetings. At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted
as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) specified
in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before
the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder. For business
to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must appear at the meeting to present a nomination
or business; if the stockholder does not appear, such nomination shall be disregarded and/or such proposed business shall not be transacted,
notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. Additionally, if such business relates
to the election of directors of the Corporation, the procedures in Section 14 must be complied with. If such business relates
to any other matter, the business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under the NRS and the stockholder must have given timely
notice thereof in writing to the Secretary with the information contemplated by this Section 15. The preceding sentence shall
be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange
Act and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of stockholders. To be timely, (a) with respect
to an annual meeting held pursuant to Section 2 hereof, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received
at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior
to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if the annual
meeting is not held within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date, then for the notice by the stockholder to be timely
it must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which the notice of the meeting was
mailed or public disclosure of the date of such meeting was made, whichever occurs first, and (b) with respect to a special meeting of
the stockholders held pursuant to Section 3 hereof, to the extent that business may be properly brought before such meeting by
a stockholder, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public
disclosure of the date of such meeting was made. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a meeting of the stockholders or
the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the delivery of such notice by a stockholder.

`A
stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before a meeting (i)
a brief description of the proposal desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for making such proposal at the meeting,

Corporation by the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, (vi) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship
pursuant to which such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person has a right to vote any securities of the Corporation, (vii)
any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited
partnership in which such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person is a general partner or beneficially owns an interest in a
general partner, (viii) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated
Person is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of the shares of stock of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments,
and (ix) whether the stockholder intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of the Corporation’s voting
shares representing at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors in the case of a nomination or holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares required under applicable
law to carry the proposal in the case of other business. If the stockholder holds its shares by or through a nominee, the information
contemplated by this Section 15 shall be provided about each person who has sole or shared power to direct the voting or disposition
of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation and each person who has a pecuniary interest in such shares in lieu of the stockholder.
Notwithstanding
anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, subject to the Articles of Incorporation and applicable law, no business shall be conducted
at any meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 15, except that nothing in this Section 15
shall effect any rights, if any, of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant
to applicable provisions of federal law, including the Exchange Act. The chair of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine
and declare to the meeting that a proposal was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section
15, and if he or she should so determine, the chair shall so declare to the meeting and any such proposal not properly brought before
the meeting shall not be transacted, discussed or voted on. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 15, a stockholder
must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Section
16. Rule 14a-19(b). Without limiting the other provisions and requirements of this Article II, unless otherwise required
by law, if any stockholder (a) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act and (b) subsequently fails to comply
with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) and Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act, then the Corporation shall disregard any proxies
or votes solicited for such stockholder’s nominees. Upon request by the Corporation, if any stockholder provides notice pursuant
to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act, such stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than five (5) business days prior
to the applicable meeting, reasonable evidence that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act.
Section
17. List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The Corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10) 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, and the
number of shares registered in the name of, each such stockholder. Such list shall be open to examination by any stockholder for any
purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, and during
the whole time of the meeting, in each case in the manner and to the extent required by the NRS.

DIRECTORS
Section
1. Number and Tenure. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by the Board of Directors, the number
thereof to be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board but at all times shall consist of at least one (1) individual.
Each director shall serve for a term of one year from the date of their election and until their successor is elected and qualified
or until his or her earlier death, retirement, disqualification, resignation or removal. Directors need not be stockholders. No
reduction of the number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of his or her term of
office. No provision of this Section 1 shall restrict the right of the Board of Directors to fill vacancies or the right of
the stockholders to remove directors, each as provided in these Bylaws.
6
Section
2. Resignation or Removal. Any director may at any time resign by delivering to the Board their resignation in writing. Any
director or the entire Board may at any time be removed effective immediately, with or without cause, by the vote, either in person or
represented by proxy, of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the shares of stock issued and outstanding of the class
or classes that elected such director and entitled to vote at a special meeting held for such purpose.
Section
3. Vacancies. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors
may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors elected by the stockholders who vote on such directorship, though
less than a quorum. The directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their respective successors are
duly elected, or until their earlier resignation or removal.
Section
4. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such dates, times, and places as may be designated

Section
5. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chair of the
Board, the President or current directors representing at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors.
Section
6. Notice. Notice of any regular meeting or a special meeting shall be given to each director, either orally, by facsimile
or other means of electronic communication or by hand delivery, addressed to each director at their address as it appears on the records
of the Corporation. If notice be by facsimile or other means of electronic communication, such notice shall be deemed to be adequately
delivered when the notice is transmitted at least twenty-four (24) hours before such meeting. If by telephone or by hand delivery, the
notice shall be given at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time set for the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at,
nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice of such meeting. A meeting
may be held at any time without notice if all the directors are present or if those not present waive notice of the meeting in accordance
with Article VIII of these Bylaws. If the address of any director is incomplete or does not appear upon the records of the Corporation
it will be sufficient to address any notice to such director at the registered office of the Corporation.
Section
7. Quorum. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum
for the transaction of business and, unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote
of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be an act of the Board. If a quorum is not present
at any meeting of the Board, the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice, until a quorum shall be
present. A director present at a meeting shall be counted in determining the presence of a quorum, regardless of whether a contract or
transaction between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which such director
is a director or officer or has a financial interest, is authorized or considered at such meeting.
Section
8. Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof
may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic
communication and such written consent or consents and copies of such communication or communications are filed with the minutes of proceedings
of the Board or committee.
Section
9. Action by Remote Communication. Members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board
or such committee by means of a conference telephone, electronic communications, videoconferencing or other remote communications equipment
or available technology permitted under the NRS 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 such meeting.

Section
10. Committees. The Board may from time to time designate committees of the Board to serve at the pleasure of the Board,
including, but not limited to, an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and governance committee, and shall,
for those committees and any others provided for herein, elect a director or directors to serve as the member or members,
designating, if it desires, other directors as alternate members who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of
the committee. In the absence or disqualification of any member of any committee and any alternate member in their place, the member
or members of the committee present at the meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum,
may by unanimous vote appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of the absent or disqualified member.
For so long as any securities of the Corporation are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, the Board is authorized
to establish and maintain committees of the Board required by the listing standards of such national securities exchange, including,
but not limited to, a standing audit committee, a standing compensation committee and a standing nominating and corporate governance
committee. Each member of each such committee shall be a director who is independent under the rules of such national securities
exchange and who, in the case of the audit committee, also satisfies the additional independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under
the Exchange Act, and who, in the case of the compensation committee, also satisfies the additional independence requirements of
Rule 10C-1 thereunder. If required by the national securities exchange, the audit committee shall consist of not fewer than three
(3) directors, and each of the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee shall consist of not
fewer than two (2) directors. If a member of any such committee ceases to be independent, or a vacancy otherwise causes a committee
to fall below the required size or composition, for reasons outside such member’s reasonable control, the Corporation may rely
on any cure period afforded by the rules of the applicable national securities exchange, and no such committee shall be deemed
improperly constituted during such cure period. As long as any of the securities of the Corporation are listed for trading on a
national securities exchange, the Board shall be authorized to adopt a written charter for each committee of the Board required by
the listing standards of such national securities exchange governing the purpose, membership rules, scope, authority, and
responsibilities of such committee, and each such charter shall be consistent with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder,
and the rules of any national securities exchange on which the securities of the Corporation are then listed.
Section
11. Compensation of Directors. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board
and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude

like compensation for attending committee meetings.
Section

absence of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary and any

a resolution prescribing a date upon which the stockholders of record entitled to give written consent must be determined. The date set
by the Board of Directors must not precede or be more than ten (10) days after the date the resolution setting such date is adopted by
the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors does not adopt a resolution setting a date upon which the stockholders of record entitled
to give written consent must be determined, and:
(i)
no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the NRS, then the date shall be the first date on which a valid written consent
is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation and these Bylaws; or
(ii)
prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the NRS, then the date shall be the close of business on the date that the Board
of Directors adopts the resolution.
In
order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment
of any rights, or to exercise rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or in respect of any other lawful action,
the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted
by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the

ARTICLE
XII
INDEMNIFICATION
AND INSURANCE; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Section
1. Indemnification and Insurance.
(A)
Indemnification and Insurance of Indemnitees.
(i)
Each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of
Nevada against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties,
and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding; provided
that such Indemnitee either is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 (which provision of the NRS is also addressed in Section 4 of this Article
XII) or acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Corporation and, with respect to any Proceeding that is criminal in nature, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent
does not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a
manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or that, with respect
to any criminal proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The Corporation shall not
indemnify an Indemnitee for any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction,
after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Corporation or for any amounts paid in settlement to the Corporation,
unless and only to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines
upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such amounts as the court deems proper. Except as so ordered by a court and for advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section, indemnification
may not be made to or on behalf of an Indemnitee if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause of action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in these Bylaws, no director or officer may be indemnified for expenses incurred in defending any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit or proceeding (including without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, that such director or officer incurred in his or her capacity as a stockholder.
12
(ii)
Indemnification pursuant to this Section shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, agent or employee
of the Corporation or member, manager or managing member of a predecessor limited liability company or affiliate of such limited liability
company or a director, officer, employee, partner, member, manager or fiduciary of, or to serve in any other capacity for, another corporation
or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise and shall inure to the benefit of his or her
heirs, executors and administrators.
(iii)
The expenses of Indemnitees must be paid by the Corporation or through insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or through
other financial arrangements made by the Corporation, as such expenses are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding,
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. To the extent that an Indemnitee is successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify
him or her against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.
(B)
To obtain indemnification under this Bylaw, a claimant shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith
such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the claimant and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to
what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by a claimant for indemnification pursuant to the first
sentence of this paragraph (B), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to the claimant’s entitlement thereto
shall be made as follows: (1) if requested by the claimant, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (2) if no request is
made by the claimant for a determination by Independent Counsel, (i) by the Board by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (as
hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by majority vote of
the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no Disinterested Directors or the Disinterested Directors
so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the claimant, or (iv) if a
quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by the stockholders of the Corporation. If it is so determined that the claimant is entitled
to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall be made within 10 days after such determination.
(C)
If a claim under paragraph (A) of this Bylaw is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim pursuant to
paragraph (B) of this Bylaw has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation
to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the
expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses
incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been
tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the laws of the State
of Nevada for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the
Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Disinterested Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) to have
made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because
he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the laws of the State of Nevada, nor an actual determination by the Corporation
(including the Disinterested Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
(D)
If a determination shall have been made pursuant to paragraph (B) of this Bylaw that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the
Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph (C) of this Bylaw.
13
(E)
The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph (C) of this Bylaw that the
procedures and presumptions of this Bylaw are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the Corporation
is bound by all the provisions of this Bylaw.
(F)
The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred
in this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of
the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification
of this Bylaw shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation
hereunder in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.
(G)
The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and rights
to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any employee
or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Bylaw with respect to the indemnification and advancement
of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.
(H)
If any provision or provisions of this Bylaw shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (1) the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Bylaw (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph
of this Bylaw containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (2) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this
Bylaw (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Bylaw containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable.
(I)
For purposes of this Bylaw:
(i)
“Disinterested Director” means a director of the Corporation who is not and was not a party to the matter in respect
of which indemnification is sought by the claimant.
(ii)
“Indemnitee” means each director, officer, agent or employee of the Corporation who was or is a party to, or is threatened
to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding (as defined below), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was
a director, officer, agent or employee of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
manager, agent or employee of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company,
trust, or other enterprise.
(iii)
“Independent Counsel” means a law firm, a member of a law firm, or an independent practitioner, selected by the Disinterested
Directors, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and shall include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional
conduct then prevailing, would not have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or the claimant in an action to
determine the claimant’s rights under this Bylaw.
(iv)
“Proceeding” means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding (including, without limitation,
an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.
(J)
Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the Corporation under this Bylaw shall be in writing
and either delivered in person or sent by electronic mail, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be effective only upon receipt by the Secretary.
Section
2. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any Indemnitee
for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as a director,
officer or employee, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation has the authority to indemnify him or
her against such liability and expenses.
14
Section
3. Amendment. The provisions of this Article XII relating to indemnification shall constitute a contract between the
Corporation and each of its directors and officers which may be modified as to any director or officer only with that person’s
consent or as specifically provided in this Section 3. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws relating to their amendment
generally, any repeal or amendment of this Article XII which is adverse to any director or officer shall apply to such director
or officer only on a prospective basis, and shall not limit the rights of an Indemnitee to indemnification with respect to any action
or failure to act occurring prior to the time of such repeal or amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws (including,
without limitation, Article X), no repeal or amendment of these Bylaws shall affect any or all of this Article XII so as
to limit or reduce the indemnification in any manner unless adopted by (i) the unanimous vote of the directors of the Corporation then
serving, or (ii) by the stockholders as set forth in Article X; provided that no such amendment shall have a retroactive effect
inconsistent with the preceding sentence.
Section
4. Limitation of Liability.
The
liability of the directors and officers of the Corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by
the NRS, including without limitation NRS 78.138, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If the NRS is hereafter amended to
further eliminate or limit the liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation shall
be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS as so amended, automatically and without further action, upon the
effective date of such amendment. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 4, nor the adoption of any provision of these
Bylaws inconsistent with this Section 4, shall adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation existing
at the time of such amendment, modification, repeal or adoption with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior thereto.
ARTICLE
XIII
CHANGES
IN NEVADA LAW
References
in these Bylaws to the laws of the State of Nevada or the NRS or to any provision thereof shall be to such law as it existed on the date
these Bylaws were adopted or as such law thereafter may be changed; provided that (i) in the case of any change which expands the liability
of directors or officers or limits the indemnification rights or the rights to advancement of expenses which the Corporation may provide
in Article XII, the rights to limited liability, to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in the Articles
of Incorporation and/or these Bylaws shall continue as theretofore to the extent permitted by law; and (ii) if such change permits the
Corporation, without the requirement of any further action by stockholders or directors, to limit further the liability of directors
or limit the liability of officers or to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than the Corporation
was permitted to provide prior to such change, then liability thereupon shall be so limited and the rights to indemnification and the
advancement of expenses shall be so broadened to the extent permitted by law.

over the Common Stock with respect to payments in liquidation shall be entitled, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation available

Persons (with “Person” defined as any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, unincorporated
association or other entity), or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not be considered to be a

Section
3.1 Indemnification and Insurance; Limitation of Liability
(A)
Indemnification and Insurance of Indemnitees.
(i)
Each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of
Nevada against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties,
and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding; provided
that such Indemnitee either is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 (which provision of the NRS is also addressed in Section 3.2 of this
Certificate of Amendment) or acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any Proceeding that is criminal in nature, had no reasonable cause to believe that
his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent does not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did
not act in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation,
or that, with respect to any criminal proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The
Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee for any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee has been adjudged by a court
of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Corporation or for any amounts paid in settlement
to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction
determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for such amounts as the court deems proper. Except as so ordered by a court and for advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section
3.1, indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of an Indemnitee if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or
omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause of action. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in these Articles of Incorporation, no director or officer may be indemnified for expenses incurred
in defending any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding (including without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding
by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that such director or officer incurred
in his or her capacity as a stockholder.
(ii)
Indemnification pursuant to this Section 3 shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, agent
or employee of the Corporation or member, manager or managing member of a predecessor limited liability company or affiliate of such
limited liability company or a director, officer, employee, partner, member, manager or fiduciary of, or to serve in any other capacity
for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise and shall inure to
the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.
(iii)
The expenses of Indemnitees must be paid by the Corporation or through insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or through
other financial arrangements made by the Corporation, as such expenses are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding,
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. To the extent that an Indemnitee is successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify
him or her against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.
A-2
(B)
To obtain indemnification under this Section 3, a claimant shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein
or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the claimant and is reasonably necessary to determine whether
and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by a claimant for indemnification pursuant to the
first sentence of this paragraph (B), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to the claimant’s entitlement
thereto shall be made as follows: (1) if requested by the claimant, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (2) if no request
is made by the claimant for a determination by Independent Counsel, (i) by the Board by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors
(as hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by majority vote
of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no Disinterested Directors or the Disinterested
Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the claimant, or
(iv) if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by the stockholders of the Corporation. If it is so determined that the claimant
is entitled to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall be made within 10 days after such determination.
(C)
If a claim under paragraph (A) of this Section 3 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim pursuant
to paragraph (B) of this Section 3 has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against
the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be
paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a
claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is
required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under
the laws of the State of Nevada for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such
defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Disinterested Directors, Independent Counsel
or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper
in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the laws of the State of Nevada, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation (including the Disinterested Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not
met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable
standard of conduct.
(D)
If a determination shall have been made pursuant to paragraph (B) of this Section 3 that the claimant is entitled to indemnification,
the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph (C) of this Section
3.
(E)
The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph (C) of this Section 3
that the procedures and presumptions of this Section 3 are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding
