{JK00876051.1 }5
(a) Requisite Power and Authority. The Subscriber has all necessary power and authority under all applicable provisions of law to subscribe to the Offering, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its provisions. All actions on the Subscriber’s part required for the lawful subscription to the Offering have been or will be effectively taken on or prior to the date of this Agreement. Upon subscribing to the Offering, this Subscription Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and (ii) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.
(b) Company Information. The Subscriber has had an opportunity to review this Agreement and its exhibits, the Offering Circular, including its exhibits, and the Company’s Financial Statements, and to discuss the Company’s business and financial affairs with directors, officers and management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s operations and facilities, to the extent the Subscriber has desired or requested in writing. The Subscriber has also had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its management team regarding the terms and conditions of this Subscription. The Subscriber acknowledges that except as set forth herein, no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber, or to the Subscriber’s advisors or representatives, by the Company or others with respect to the business or prospects of the Company or its financial condition. The Subscriber shall only rely upon its own judgment and/or its professional advisors in making its investment decision.
(c) Investment Experience. The Subscriber has sufficient experience in financial and business matters to be capable of utilizing such information to evaluate the merits and risks of the Subscriber’s investment in the Securities, and to make an informed decision relating thereto, or alternatively, the Subscriber has utilized the services of a purchaser representative and together they have sufficient experience in financial and business matters that they are capable of utilizing such information to evaluate the merits and risks of the Subscriber’s investment in the Securities, and to make an informed decision relating thereto.
(d) The Subscriber’s Determination of Suitability. The Subscriber has evaluated the risks of an investment in the Securities, including those described in the section of the Offering Circular captioned “Risk Factors”, and has determined that the investment is suitable for the Subscriber. The Subscriber has adequate financial resources for an investment of this character, and the Subscriber understands that the Subscriber could bear a complete loss of the Subscriber’s investment in the Company. Specifically, as required by Regulation A, the Subscriber hereby represents and warrants that the amount of its investment in the Company does not exceed 10% of the greater of its annual income or net worth (for natural persons); or annual revenue or net assets (for non-natural persons).
(e) No Registration. The Subscriber understands that the Securities are being offered pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation A of Section 3(b) of the Securities Act, and that reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the truth and accuracy of the Subscriber's representations and warranties, and those of the other purchasers of the Shares in this Offering. The Subscriber further understands that the Securities are not being registered under the securities laws of any states because a Tier 2 offering under Regulation A preempts such laws. Any future sales or transfers of the Securities are subject to the right of first refusal provisions set forth in Section 5 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as well as applicable federal and state securities laws applicable at the time of any future offer or sale.
(f) Illiquidity and Continued Economic Risk. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that there is no ready public market for the Securities and that there is no guarantee that a
{JK00876051.1 }6
market for their resale will ever develop and exist. The Company has no obligation to list any of the Securities on any market or take any steps (including registration under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with respect to facilitating the trading or resale of the Securities. The Subscriber may have to bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely, and the Subscriber acknowledges that he/she/it is able to bear the economic risk of losing his/ her/its entire investment in the Securities.
(g) Accredited Investor Status or Investment Limits. The Subscriber represents that his/her/its representations and information set forth in the Investor Questionnaire and the signature pages that follow (which are incorporated by reference) are true and complete. The Subscriber represents that to the extent he/she/it has any questions with respect to its status as an accredited investor, or the application of the investment limits, he/she/it has sought independent professional advice.
(h) Stockholder Information. Within five days after receipt of a request from the Company, the Subscriber hereby agrees to provide any further information needed in connection with this Subscription.
(i) Valuation. Because of the number of intangible factors impacting the value of small, privately held companies, the Company has decided not to undergo a formal valuation process at this time. The Subscriber understands that the price of the Shares to be sold in this Offering was set by the Company on the basis of the Company’s internal valuation and no warranties are made as to fair market value. The Subscriber further acknowledges that future offerings of securities of the Company may be made at lower valuations, with the result that the Subscriber’s investment will bear a lower valuation, and the Subscriber’s ownership interests may be diluted.
(j) Domicile. The Subscriber maintains its domicile (and is not a transient or temporary resident) at the address provided at the end of this Agreement, which shall promptly be updated by the Subscriber in the future upon any change thereof.
(k) Foreign Subscribers. If the Subscriber is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the Subscriber hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Securities. The Subscriber’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Subscriber’s jurisdiction.
6. Indemnity. The representations, warranties and covenants made by the Subscriber herein shall survive the acceptance by the Company of his/her/its Subscription. The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its respective officers, directors and affiliates, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (the “Indemnitee”) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, including attorneys’ fees on appeal) and expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any false representation or warranty, or breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Subscriber herein or in any other document furnished by the Subscriber to any of the Indemnitees in connection with this Offering.
{JK00876051.1 }7
7. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Jurisdiction. This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. If any dispute or controversy occurs between the Subscriber and the Company relating to the interpretation, implementation, application, or validity of this Agreement, each party to the dispute or controversy agrees to first attempt a resolution thereof in a non-binding mediation hearing at which individuals with decision-making authority shall attend. The location of the hearing shall be in Denver, CO, and the choice of mediator shall be mutually agreeable.

AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS OF FEEL THE WORLD, INC. (the “Corporation”)
| 1. |
Meetings of holders OF CLASS A VOTING COMMON STOCK 1.1 Place of Meetings |
All meetings of the holders of Class A Voting Common Stock (the “Class A stockholders”) shall be held at such place as may be fixed from time to time by the President (“Authorized Person”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held by means of remote communication.
1.2 Annual Meetings
Unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting, the Corporation shall hold annual meetings of the Class A stockholders on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Authorized Person. At the annual meetings, the Class A stockholders shall elect a Board of Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. If a written consent electing directors is less than unanimous, such action by written consent may be in lieu of holding an annual meeting only if all of the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are vacant and are filled by such action.
1.3 Special Meetings
Special meetings of the Class A stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by the Authorized Person.
1.4 Notice of Meetings
Notice of any meeting of the Class A stockholders, stating the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which such stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and (if it is a special meeting) the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given to each Class A stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting (except to the extent that such notice is waived or is not required as provided in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the ‘Delaware General Corporation Law’) or these Bylaws). Such notice shall be given in accordance with, and shall be deemed effective as set forth in, Sections 222 and 232 (or any successor section or sections) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
1.5 Waivers of Notice
Whenever the giving of any notice is required by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws (as they may be amended and/or restated in the future), a waiver
{JK00876051.1 }16
thereof, in writing and delivered to the Corporation, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver thereof by electronic transmission by the person or persons entitled to said notice, delivered to the Corporation, whether before or after the event as to which such notice is required, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a Class A stockholder at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when such stockholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting.
1.6 Business at Special Meetings
Business transacted at any special meeting of Class A stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice (except to the extent that such notice is waived or is not required as provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law or these Bylaws).
1.7 List of Class A Stockholders
After the record date for a meeting of the Class A stockholders has been fixed, at least ten days before such meeting, the officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall make a list of all of the Class A stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each such stockholder (but not the electronic mail address or other electronic contact information, unless the Board of Directors so directs) and the number of shares registered in the name of each such stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any Class A stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting: (1) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (2) during ordinary business hours, at the principle place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then such list shall also, for the duration of the meeting, be produced and kept open to the examination of any Class A stockholder who is present at the time and place of the meeting. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then such list shall also be open to the examination of any Class A stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.
1.8 Quorum at Meetings
Class A stockholders may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum exists with respect to that matter. Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting, and who are present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Class A stockholders for the transaction of business. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series 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. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting (other than solely to object (1) to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, or (2) (if it is a special meeting) to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice), it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for the adjourned meeting. The holders of a majority of the voting shares represented at a meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn such meeting from time to time.
1.9 Voting and Proxies
{JK00876051.1 }17
Unless otherwise provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law or in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the other provisions of these Bylaws, each Class A stockholder shall be entitled to one vote on each matter, in person or by proxy, for each share of the Corporation’s capital stock that has voting power and that is held by such stockholder. No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed appointment of proxy shall be irrevocable if the appointment form 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. If authorized by the Board of Directors, and subject to such guidelines as the Board of Directors may adopt, Class A stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting may, by means of remote communication, participate in the meeting and be deemed present in person and vote at such meeting whether such meeting is held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (1) the Corporation implements reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a Class A stockholder or proxyholder, (2) the Corporation implements reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the Class A stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (3) if any Class A stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action is maintained by the Corporation.
1.10 Required Vote
When a quorum is present at any meeting of Class A stockholders, all matters shall be determined, adopted and approved by the affirmative vote (which need not be by ballot) of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote with respect to the matter, unless the proposed action is one upon which, by express provision of statutes or of the Certificate of Incorporation, a different vote is specified and required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control with respect to that vote on that matter. Where a separate vote by a class or classes is required, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or classes present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares held by Class A stockholders who are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.
1.11 Action Without a Meeting
Any action required or permitted to be taken at a Class A stockholders’ meeting may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if the action is taken by persons who would be entitled to vote at a meeting and who hold shares having voting power equal to not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote were present and voted. The action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by the Class A stockholders entitled to take action without a meeting, and delivered to the Corporation in the manner prescribed by the Delaware General Corporation Law for inclusion in the minute books. No consent shall be effective to take the corporate action specified unless the number of consents required to take such action are delivered to the Corporation within sixty days of the delivery of the earliest-dated consent. An electronic transmission consenting to such action and transmitted by a Class A stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this Section 1.11, provided that any such
{JK00876051.1 }18
electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine (1) that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the Class A stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for such stockholder or proxyholder and (2) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such electronic transmission. The date on which such electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with Section 228(d)(1) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Written notice of the action taken shall be given in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law to all Class A stockholders who do not participate in taking the action who would have been entitled to notice if such action had been taken at a meeting having a record date on the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.
2. Directors
2.1 Powers
The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation, subject to any limitation set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation or as otherwise may be provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The first Board of Directors shall consist of one director. Thereafter, the number of directors may be increased or decreased as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.

2.3 Nomination of Directors
The Board of Directors shall nominate candidates to stand for election as directors; and other candidates also may be nominated by any Class A stockholder, provided such other nomination(s) are submitted in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting of the Class A stockholders at which such directors are to be elected, together with the identity of the nominator and the number of shares of the Corporation’s Class A stock owned, directly or indirectly, by the nominator. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the Class A stockholders, except as provided in Section 1.2 and Section 2.4 hereof, and each director elected shall hold office until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until the director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Directors need not be stockholders of the Corporation.

Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the Class A stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although fewer than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the Certificate
{JK00876051.1 }19
of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected. Each director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of directors of the class to which such director was appointed, and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, or until the director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. In the event that one or more directors resign from the Board, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of directors, and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, or until the director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to approving or adopting, or recommending to the Class A stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the Delaware General Corporation Law to be submitted to such stockholders for approval or adopting, amending or repealing any bylaw of the Corporation; and unless the resolution designating the committee, these Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation expressly so provide, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend, to authorize the issuance of stock, or to adopt a certificate of ownership and merger pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

4.3.1 Actions by Stockholders |
Only holders of Class A common stock shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. However, the Corporation may hold meetings of all stockholders, from time to time, for any reason as determined by the Board of Directors. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting, (and for Class A stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting), the Board of Directors 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 of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty days nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining those stockholders entitled to notice of and/or to vote at a meeting shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which 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. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of and/or to vote at a meeting shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining Class A stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in the manner prescribed by Section 213(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the record date for determining Class A stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
4.3.2 Payments
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 the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
4.4 Stockholders of Record
The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, to receive notifications, to vote if the person is the owner of Class A stock, and to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. The Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise may be provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL |
|
5.1 Unless and until the Board of Directors determines otherwise, no stockholder shall |
sell, assign, pledge, or in any manner transfer any of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation
{JK00876051.1 }25
or any right or interest therein, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, or by gift or otherwise, except by a transfer which meets the requirements hereinafter set forth in this bylaw: 5.1.1. If the stockholder enters into a bona fide and unconditional (except for customary closing conditions and a condition related to the non-exercise or waiver of this right of first refusal) agreement with a prospective transferee able to purchase shares of the Corporation’s stock, then the stockholder shall first give written notice thereof to the Corporation. The notice shall name the proposed transferee and state the number of shares to be transferred, the proposed consideration, and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed transfer.
5.1.2. For thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, the Corporation shall have the option to purchase the shares specified in the notice at the price and upon the terms set forth in such notice. If the Corporation elects to exercise its rights to purchase the shares specified in the notice, the Corporation together with its assignees, if any, must purchase all of the shares specified in the notice. In the event of a gift, property settlement or other transfer in which the proposed transferee is not paying the full price for the shares, and that is not otherwise exempted from the provisions of this Section 5.1. , the price shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the stock at such time as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. In the event the Corporation and its assignees, if any, elect to purchase the shares, it shall give written notice to the transferring stockholder of its election and settlement for said shares shall be made as provided below in
Section 5.1.4.
5.1.3. The Corporation may assign its rights hereunder.
5.1.4. In the event the Corporation and/or its assignee(s) elect to acquire the shares of the transferring stockholder as specified in said transferring stockholder’s notice, the Secretary of the Corporation shall so notify the transferring stockholder and settlement thereof shall be made in cash within sixty (60) days after the Secretary of the Corporation receives said transferring stockholder’s notice; provided that if the terms of payment set forth in said transferring stockholder’s notice were other than cash against delivery, the Corporation and/or its assignee(s) shall pay for said shares on the same terms and conditions set forth in said transferring stockholder’s notice.
5.1.5. In the event the Corporation and/or its assignees(s) do not elect to acquire the shares specified in the transferring stockholder’s notice, said transferring stockholder may, within the ninety-day period following the expiration of the option rights granted to the Corporation and/or its assignees(s) herein, transfer the shares specified in said transferring stockholder’s notice which were not acquired by the Corporation and/or its assignees(s) as specified in said transferring stockholder’s notice. All shares so sold by said transferring stockholder shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this bylaw in the same manner as before said transfer.
5.1.6. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the following transactions shall be exempt from the provisions of this bylaw: (a) A stockholder’s transfer of any or all shares held either during such stockholder’s lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to such stockholder’s immediate family or to any custodian or trustee for the account of such stockholder or such stockholder’s immediate family or to any limited partnership of which the stockholder, members of such stockholder’s immediate family or any trust for the account of such stockholder or such stockholder’s immediate family will be the general of limited partner(s) of such partnership. “Immediate family” as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant, father, mother, brother, or sister of the stockholder (whether by birth, adoption or marriage) making such transfer.
{JK00876051.1 }26
(b) A stockholder’s transfer of any or all of such stockholder’s shares to
the Corporation.
In any such case, the transferee, assignee, or other recipient shall receive and hold such stock subject to the provisions of this bylaw, and there shall be no further transfer of such stock except in accord with this bylaw.
5.1.7. The provisions of this bylaw may be waived with respect to any transfer either by the Corporation, upon duly authorized action of its Board of Directors, or by the stockholders, upon the express written consent of the owners of a majority of the voting power of the Class A stockholders of the Corporation (excluding the votes represented by those shares to be transferred by the transferring stockholder). This bylaw may be amended or repealed either by a duly authorized action of the Board of Directors or by the Class A stockholders, upon the express written consent of the owners of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation.
5.1.8. Any sale or transfer, or purported sale or transfer, of securities of the Corporation shall be null and void unless the terms, conditions, and provisions of this bylaw are strictly observed and followed.
5.1.9. The foregoing right of first refusal shall terminate on either of the following dates, whichever shall first occur: (a) Upon the effective date of a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors; or (b) Upon the date securities of the Corporation are first offered to the public pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with, and declared effective by, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
5.1.10. The certificates representing shares of stock of the Corporation shall bear the following legend so long as the foregoing right of first refusal remains in effect:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTION IN FAVOR OF THE CORPORATION AND/OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S), AS PROVIDED IN THE BYLAWS OF THE CORPORATION.”
