2024, by and between the Company and CBC (the “Merger Agreement”).
At

9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits
(d)
Exhibits
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
communication may contain certain forward-looking statements, including but not limited to certain plans, expectations, projections and
statements about the benefits of the proposed Merger, the timing of completion of the Merger, and other statements that are not historical
facts. Such statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical
fact, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified
by words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimate,”
“plan,” “target,” “goal,” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,”
“may,” “might,” “should,” “would,” “could,” or similar variations. The forward-looking
statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Factors
that could cause or contribute to results differing from those in or implied in the forward-looking statements include but are not limited
to the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of CBC or the Company to terminate their
agreement with respect to the Merger; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CBC or the Company; delays
in completing the Merger; the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the Merger on a timely basis or at all; the ability to complete
the Merger and integration of CBC and the Company successfully; costs being greater than anticipated; cost savings being less than anticipated;
changes in economic conditions; the risk that the Merger disrupts the business of CBC, the Company or both; difficulties in retaining
senior management, employees or customers; the impact of bank failures or other adverse developments at other banks on general investor
sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks; and other factors that may affect the future results of CBC and the Company.
Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in CBC’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
and is available in the “Investor Relations” section of CBC’s website, www.californiabankofcommerce, in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 which is on file with the SEC and is available in the “Investor
Relations” section of the Company’s website, www.banksocal.com, and in other documents that CBC and the Company file with
the SEC. Investors may obtain free copies of these documents and other documents filed with the SEC on its website at www.sec.gov.
All
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. Neither CBC nor
the Company assumes any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date
the forward-looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by federal securities
laws. As forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance
on such statements.

ARTICLE
I
OFFICES
Section
1. Principal Offices. The board of directors shall fix the location of the principal executive office of the Corporation at any place
within or outside the State of California. If the principal executive office is located outside this state, and the Corporation has one
or more business offices in this state, the board of directors shall likewise fix and designate a principal business office in the State
of California.
Section
2. Other Offices. The board of directors may at any time establish branch or subordinate offices at any place or places where the
Corporation is qualified to do business.
ARTICLE
II
MEETINGS
OF SHAREHOLDERS
Section
1. Place of Meetings. Meetings of shareholders shall be held at any place within or without the State of California designated by
the board of directors. In the absence of any such designation, shareholders’ meetings shall be held at the principal executive
office of the Corporation. At the sole discretion of the board of directors, and subject to applicable provisions under the California
Corporations Code and any guidelines and procedures that the board of directors may adopt, a meeting of the shareholders may be conducted
in whole or in part by electronic transmission by and to the Corporation, electronic video screen communication, conference telephone,
or other means of remote communication.
Section
2. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated by the board of
directors. The date so designated shall be within fifteen (15) months after the last annual meeting. At each annual meeting directors
shall be elected, and any other proper business may be transacted.
Section
3. Special Meetings. A special meeting of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes whatsoever, may be called at any time by
the board of directors, or by the chair of the board of directors, or by the president, or by one or more shareholders holding shares
in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at any such meeting.
If
a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the board of directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the
time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered
mail or by electronic transmission or other facsimile transmission to the chairperson of the board, the president, or the secretary of
the Corporation. The officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly given to the shareholders entitled to vote, in accordance
with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Article II, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons
calling the meeting, not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request. If the notice is
not given within twenty (20) days after receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the notice. Nothing
contained in this paragraph of this Section 3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of shareholders
called by action of the board of directors may be held.
Section
4. Notice of Shareholders’ Meetings. Written notice stating the place, day, and hour of the meeting, shall be given not less
than ten (10) days (or, if sent by third class mail, thirty (30) days) and not more than sixty (60) days before the meeting. In the case
of an annual meeting, the notice shall state the matters the board of directors intends, at the time the notice is given, to present
to the shareholders for action; provided, however, that unless the notice of the meeting, or the waiver of notice of such meeting,
sets forth the general nature of any proposal to (a) approve or ratify a transaction in which a director has a material financial interest
under Section 310 of the California Corporations Code, (b) amend the articles of incorporation of this Corporation (the “Articles
of Incorporation”) under Section 902 of the California Corporations Code, (c) approve a conversion or reorganization or elect to
wind up and dissolve under Sections 1152, 1201, or 1900 of the California Corporations Code, or (d) effect a plan of distribution upon
liquidation inconsistent with the liquidation rights of the preferred shares under Section 2007 of the California Corporations Code,
no such proposal may be approved at an annual meeting. In the case of a special meeting, the notice shall state the general nature of
the business to be transacted. If directors are to be elected at a meeting, the notice shall include the names of the intended nominees
at the time the notice is given. If remote participation in a meeting is authorized by the board of directors, the notice shall state
the means of electronic transmission by and to the Corporation or electronic video screen communication by which shareholders may participate.
Proof
of notice by mail or electronic transmission may be made by affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or the Corporation’s
transfer agent, and, if made, shall be filed as part of the minutes of the meeting.
Notice
shall be given by personal delivery, by electronic transmission consented to by the shareholder, or by mail, by or at the direction of
the secretary or the officer or person calling the meeting, to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting. If a shareholder has
not provided an address, notice may be given as provided by Section 601 of the California Corporations Code.
Notice
by mail shall be deemed to have been given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at the shareholder’s
address as it appears on the share transfer records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. Notice by electronic transmission
shall be deemed to have been given when:
|
● |
Transmitted
to a facsimile number provided by the shareholder for the purpose of receiving notice. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Transmitted
to an electronic mail address provided by the shareholder for the purpose of receiving notice. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Posted
on an electronic network, with a separate notice to the shareholder of the posting. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Delivered
to by any other form of electronic communication consented to by the shareholder. |
Notice
shall not be given by electronic transmission to a shareholder after either (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver two consecutive
notices to such shareholder by such means or (ii) the inability to deliver such notices to such shareholder becomes known to any person
responsible for giving such notices.
A
shareholder may waive notice of a meeting by providing the secretary, in writing, either before or after the time of the meeting, waiver
of notice, consent to holding the meeting, or approval of the minutes of the meeting. The attendance of a shareholder at a meeting constitutes
waiver of notice, unless the shareholder objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business at the meeting
because the meeting was not lawfully called or objects, at the meeting, to the consideration of any business that was required to be,
but was not, included in the notice of the meeting.
Section
5. The Record Date. For the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of the shareholders,
to give written consent to any action taken without a meeting, to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment
of rights, or to exercise any other rights, the board of directors may fix a date as the record date for any such determination.
A
record date fixed under this Section may not be more than sixty (60) days or less than ten (10) days before the meeting or more than
sixty (60) days before any other action. If any meeting of the shareholders is adjourned for more than forty-five (45) days from the
date set for the original meeting, the board of directors shall fix a new record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice
of and to vote at such adjourned meeting.
If
no record date has been fixed, then (a) the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a shareholders’
meeting shall be the business day before the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is properly waived, the business day before
the day on which the meeting is held, (b) the record date for determining shareholders entitled to give written consent to action taken
without a meeting, where no prior board action was taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given, and (c) the record
date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be the later of (i) the day on which the board of directors adopts the
resolution relating thereto or (ii) the sixtieth (60th) day prior to the date of the action.
Section
6. Quorum. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for
a meeting of the shareholders. Except as otherwise provided by the California Corporations Code or the Articles of Incorporation:
|
● |
The
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the shareholders. |
|
|
|
|
● |
The
shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment
notwithstanding the withdrawal of any number of shareholders that leaves less than a quorum, if any action taken, other than adjournment,
is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum. |
If
a quorum is not present, the meeting may be adjourned by the vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy.
Section
7. Adjourned Meeting and Notice Thereof. Any shareholders’ meeting, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time by
a vote of the majority of the shares present, in person or proxy. If the meeting is adjourned for more than forty-five (45) days, or
if the board of directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder
of record, as of the new record date, entitled to notice of the adjourned meeting. If the meeting is adjourned for not more than forty-five
(45) days, and the board of directors does not fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting, notice need not be given of the adjourned
meeting if the time and place (or the means of electronic transmission or electronic video screen communication, if any, by which shareholders
may participate) of the meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and any business may be transacted at
the adjourned meeting that might have been transacted at the original meeting.
Section
8. Voting. Each outstanding share, regardless of class or series, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote
of the shareholders, except as otherwise provided herein and to the extent that the Articles of Incorporation provide for more or less
than one vote per share or limit or deny voting rights to the holders of the shares of any class or series.
A
shareholder entitled to vote on any matter may vote part of such shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining
shares or, other than in elections of directors, vote the remaining shares against the proposal. If a shareholder fails to specify the
number of shares the shareholder is voting affirmatively, the shareholder will be deemed to have affirmatively voted all shares the shareholder
is entitled to vote.
In
any election of directors, each shareholder entitled to vote shall, subject to the satisfaction of all statutory conditions precedent
to the exercise of such rights, have the right to cumulate the number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied
by the number of votes to which such shareholder’s shares are entitled, and distribute those votes among one or more candidates.
This right may be exercised by giving written notice of intent to cumulate those votes to any officer of the Corporation before the meeting
or to the presiding officer at the meeting at any time before the election of directors.
The
directors receiving the highest number of votes of the shares entitled to vote in the election, up to the number of director positions
to be filled, shall be elected.
Section
9. Waiver of Notice or Consent by Absent Shareholders. The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, however called or noticed,
are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy,
and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written
waiver of notice, or a consent to the holding of such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. The waiver, notice, or consent
need not specify the business transacted or purpose of the meeting, except as required by Section 601 of the California Corporations
Code. All such waivers, consents, or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
Section
10. Shareholder Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at an annual or special
meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the action
so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize
or take such action at a meeting at which all shares are entitled to vote thereon were present and voted; provided, however, that
unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been solicited in writing, notice shall be given (in the same manner as
notice of meetings is to be given and within the time limits prescribed by law) of such action to all shareholders entitled to vote who
did not consent in writing to such action; and provided further, that directors may be elected by written consent only if such
consent is unanimously given by all shareholders entitled to vote, except that action taken by shareholders to fill one or more vacancies
on the board other than a vacancy created by the removal of a director, may be taken by written consent of a majority of the outstanding
shares entitled to vote.
Section
11. Proxies. A shareholder may vote either in person or by written proxy executed by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney
in fact and filed with the secretary of the Corporation. A proxy is not valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date
of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A proxy continues in full force and effect until revoked, either by a written
revocation delivered to the Corporation, by a subsequent proxy presented to the meeting, or by attending a meeting of the shareholders
and voting the shares in person. A proxy is revocable unless the proxy states that it is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an
interest. A proxy is not revoked by the death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing the proxy unless the Corporation receives written
notice of such death or incapacity before the vote by proxy is counted.
Any
shareholder soliciting proxies from other shareholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the
exclusive use of the board of directors.
Section
12. Inspectors of Election. Before any meeting of shareholders, the board of directors may appoint any persons other than nominees
for office to act as inspectors of election at the meeting or its adjournment. If no inspectors of election are appointed, the chair

Section
13. Shareholder Proposals. At any meeting of shareholders, business will only be conducted if it is brought before the meeting (1)
by or at the direction of the board of directors, (2) in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange
Act”), or (3) by a shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting who complies with the requirements set forth in this
Section.
For
business (other than director nominations, which are governed by the following Section 14 of this Article II) to be properly brought
before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder or shareholders of record intending to propose the business (the “proposing
shareholder”) must have given written notice of the proposing shareholder’s proposal either by personal delivery or by United
States mail to the secretary of the Corporation no earlier than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days and no later than ninety (90)
calendar days before the date such annual meeting is to be held. If the current year’s annual meeting is called for a date that
is not within thirty (30) days of the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting, notice must be received not later than
ten (10) calendar days following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made. In no event will
an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of shareholders begin a new time period for giving a proposing shareholder’s
notice as provided above.
For
business to be properly brought before a special meeting of shareholders, the notice of the meeting sent by or at the direction of the
person calling the meeting must set forth the nature of the business to be considered. A shareholder or shareholders making a written
request for a special meeting pursuant to Section 3 of Article II shall provide the information required for notice of a shareholder
proposal under this Section simultaneously with the written request for the meeting submitted to the secretary or within ten (10) calendar
days after delivery of the written request for the meeting to the secretary.
A
proposing shareholder’s notice of a proposal shall include as to each matter the proposing shareholder proposes to bring before
either an annual or special meeting:
(a)
the name and address of the proposing shareholder and the classes and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation held and beneficially
owned (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the proposing shareholder and (ii) if different, the name an address of the
proposing shareholder, as they appear in the Corporation’s books, of the shareholder proposing such business;
(b)
a brief description of the business and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; and
(c)
the material interests of the proposing shareholder in such business.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions, unless brought under Rule 14a-9 under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting,
as required by law, or as otherwise determined by the board of directors, if the proposing shareholder or a qualified representative
of the proposing shareholder does not appear at the meeting of shareholders to present its proposal (including
virtually in the case of a meeting conducted solely by electronic transmission by and to the Corporation, electronic video screen communication,
conference telephone, or other means of remote communication), the proposal shall be disregarded, and no vote on such shareholder
proposal shall occur, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation.
The
foregoing provisions of this Section do not relieve any shareholder of any obligation to comply with all applicable requirements of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Section
14. Shareholder Nominations. At any meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected, a proposed nominee (other than
a nominee nominated by the board of directors or by a person or committee authorized by the board of directors) shall only be eligible
for election to the board of directors if nominated by a shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting who complies with the
requirements and procedures set forth in this Section.
For
a director nomination(s) to be properly brought before any meeting of shareholders at which one or more directors are to be elected,
the shareholder or shareholders of record intending to nominate a candidate or candidates (the “nominating shareholder”)
must have given written notice of the nominating shareholder’s nomination(s) either by personal delivery or by United States mail
to the secretary of the Corporation no earlier than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days and no later than ninety (90) calendar days
before the date such annual meeting is to be held. If the current year’s annual meeting is called for a date that is not within
thirty (30) days of the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting, notice must be received not later than ten (10) calendar
days following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made. In no event will an adjournment
or postponement of an annual meeting of shareholders begin a new time period for giving a proposing shareholder’s notice as provided
above. A shareholder or shareholders making a written request for a special meeting pursuant to Section 3 of Article II shall provide
the information required for notice of any director nomination(s) under this Section simultaneously with the written request for the
meeting submitted to the secretary.
A
nominating shareholder’s notice of a director nomination shall include:
(a)
The name and address of the nominating shareholder and the classes and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation held and
beneficially owned (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the nominating shareholder; and (ii) if different, the name and
address of the proposing shareholder, as they appear in the Corporation’s books; and
(b)
(i) the full name, age and date of birth of each candidate; (ii) the business and residence address and telephone numbers of each candidate;
(iii) the education background and business/occupational experience of each candidate including a list of positions held for at least
the preceding five (5) years; (iv) the class and number of shares of the Corporation beneficially owned by the candidate; and (v) a signed
representation by each such candidate that the candidate will timely provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation
for the purpose of preparing its disclosures in regard to the solicitation of proxies for the election of directors.
If
a nominating shareholder will solicit proxies for a nominee or nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees in accordance with
Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, the nominating shareholder’s notice must additionally provide: (i) all other information required
by Rule 14a-19; (ii) a written representation and undertaking that such shareholder intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form
of proxy to holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors in accordance with Rule 14a-19, and that a statement to such effect will be included in such shareholder’s proxy statement;
(iii) a written representation and undertaking that such shareholder will comply with all requirements of the Exchange Act and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, including but not limited to Rule 14a-19 and all other requirements of Regulation 14A (as such rule and regulations
may be amended or interpreted from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including through
any SEC staff interpretations related thereto); and (iv) each proposed director nominee’s written consent to being named in the
Company’s proxy statement for the applicable meeting and the associated proxy card. In addition, such nominating shareholder shall
provide the Corporation a written certification within ten (10) days prior to the meeting for the election of directors (or any adjournment,
postponement or rescheduling thereof) with reasonable documentary evidence that such nominating shareholder has complied with the representations
and undertakings made pursuant to the foregoing subsections (ii) and (iii).
In
addition to the foregoing, upon the Corporation’s request, any nominee proposed by a shareholder must promptly (but in any event
within ten (10) days of the Corporation’s request) complete and return a director questionnaire to be provided by the Corporation.
A
nominating shareholder shall promptly provide notice to the Corporation of any changes to any of the information submitted to the Corporation
pursuant to this Section.
The
name of each such candidate for director must be placed in nomination at the annual meeting by the nominating shareholder or a qualified
representative of the nominating shareholder present in person and the nominating shareholder’s candidate(s) must be present in
person at the meeting for the election of directors, provided that a nominating shareholder, qualified representative or candidate
may appear virtually in the case of a meeting conducted solely by electronic transmission by and to the Corporation, electronic video
screen communication, conference telephone, or other means of remote communication.
No
person nominated by a shareholder shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with
the procedures set forth in these Bylaws. Further, if a nominating shareholder provides notice under these Bylaws or pursuant to Rule
14a-19 and subsequently fails to comply with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws or the applicable requirements of Rule 14a-19,
then the Corporation shall disregard any proxies solicited or votes cast for such shareholder’s nominee(s). The board of directors
(and any other person or committee authorized by the board of directors) shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination
was made in accordance with the procedures and other requirements set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination was not made
in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded, in each case, acting in good faith; provided
that, if any determination must be made at a meeting of the shareholders, the chair of the meeting shall have the power and duty,
acting in good faith, to make such determination, unless otherwise determined by the board of directors. Any determination adopted in
good faith by the board of directors (or any other person or committee authorized by the board of directors) or the chair of the meeting,
as the case may be, shall be binding on all persons, including the Corporation and its shareholders (including any beneficial owners).
Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions, unless otherwise required by law or otherwise determined by the board of directors, if (1) the nominating shareholder
or a qualified representative of the nominating shareholder does not appear at the meeting of shareholders (including
virtually in the case of a meeting conducted solely by electronic transmission by and to
the Corporation, electronic video screen communication, conference telephone, or other means of remote communication) to present
its nomination(s) or (2) the election of a nominating shareholder’s nominee would cause the Corporation to be in violation of the
Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or any applicable state or federal law, rule, regulation, or stock exchange listing standard,
then such nomination or nominations shall be disregarded, and no vote on such shareholder nominee(s) shall occur, notwithstanding that
proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation.
The
foregoing provisions of this Section do not relieve any shareholder of any obligation to comply with all applicable requirements of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act.
This
Section or a summary of this Section shall be set forth in either the notice or related proxy statement concerning any shareholders’
meeting at which the election of directors is to be considered.
Section
15. Conduct of Shareholder Meetings. The board of directors may adopt by resolution such rules, regulations, and procedures for the
conduct of any meeting of shareholders as it deems appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with rules, regulations, and procedures
adopted by the board of directors, the chair of the meeting shall have the right to prescribe such rules, regulations, and procedures
and to do all such acts, as, in the judgment of such chair, are necessary, appropriate, or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting.
Such rules, regulations, or procedures, whether adopted by the board of directors or the chair of the meeting, may include, without limitation,

Appoint
and remove, at the pleasure of the board, all officers, managers, management companies, agents, and employees of the Corporation,
prescribe their duties in addition to those prescribed in these Bylaws, supervise them, fix their compensation, and require from

comply with the requirements of law. To the extent permitted by law, the requirements that an annual report be sent to shareholders
and the time limits for sending such reports are hereby waived; the directors, nevertheless, shall have the authority to cause such
report to be sent to shareholders. |
Section
2. Number of DirectorsThe authorized number of directors shall be not less than seven (7) nor more than thirteen (13) (which in no
case shall be greater than two times the stated minimum minus one). The exact number of authorized directors shall be fixed, within the
limits specified above, by a resolution amending such exact number, duly adopted by the board of directors or by the shareholders. No
reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office
expires.
Section
3. Election and Term of Office of Directors. At the first annual meeting of the shareholders and at each annual meeting thereafter,
the shareholders entitled to vote in the election of directors shall elect directors, each of whom shall hold office until the next annual
meeting of the shareholders or until the director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal. Despite the expiration
of a director’s term, the director shall continue to serve until the director’s successor is elected and qualified.
Section
4. Resignation. A director may resign by providing written notice to the chair of the board, the president, the secretary, or the
board of directors. The resignation shall be effective upon the later of the date of receipt of the notice or the effective date specified
in the notice.
Section
5. Removal. The board of directors may declare vacant the office of a director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order
of court or convicted of a felony, or otherwise in a manner provided by law.
Any
or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time with or without cause by a vote of the shareholders entitled to elect
them. If one or more directors are so removed at a meeting of shareholders, the shareholders may elect new directors at the same meeting.
If less than the entire board of directors is removed, no director may be removed by the shareholders if the votes cast against removal
would be sufficient to elect the director if cumulatively voted at an election of all of the directors (as of the date of the director’s
most recent election) at which the same total number of votes were cast. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have
the effect of removing any director before his term of office expires.
Section
6. Vacancies. A vacancy on the board of directors occurs upon of any of the following events: (a) the death, resignation, or removal
of any director; (b) the removal or declaration of vacancy by the board of directors of a director who has been declared of unsound mind
by an order of court or convicted of a felony; (c) the authorized number of directors is increased; or (d) at any meeting of the shareholders
at which directors are elected, the shareholders fail to elect the full authorized number of directors to be elected at the meeting.
Vacancies
in the board of directors, other than vacancies created by removal of a director, may be filled by the board of directors in accordance
with Section 305 of the California Corporations Code. The shareholders may, at any time and in accordance with Section 305 of the California
Corporations Code, elect a director to fill any vacancy not filled by the directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold
office until the next annual meeting and until the director’s successor is elected and qualified (or until the director’s
earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal). If any resignation of a director will take effect at a future time, a successor
may be elected to take office when the resignation becomes effective. A reduction of the authorized number of directors does not remove
any director prior to the expiration of the director’s term of office.
Section
7. Meetings of Directors. A regular meeting of the newly-elected board of directors shall be held without other notice immediately
following and at the place of each annual meeting of shareholders, at which meeting the board shall elect officers and transact any other
business as shall come before the meeting. Regular meetings of the board of directors shall be held at such other times and places as
may from time to time be fixed by resolution of the board of directors and, unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, regular
meetings may be held without notice of the date, time, place, or purpose of the meeting.
Meetings
of the board of directors, including special meetings, may be called by the chair of the board, the president, the secretary, or any
two directors.
Notice
of the time and place of special meetings shall be given to each director. If notice is mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States
mail, addressed to the director at the address shown on the records of the Corporation, at least four days before the time of the meeting.

meeting. If no place is stated in the notice, meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation unless another
place has been designated by a resolution duly adopted by the board of dire.
Section
8. Electronic Participation. Members of the board of directors may participate in a meeting through conference telephone, electronic
video screen communication, or electronic transmission by and to the Corporation. Participation in a meeting by conference telephone
or electronic video screen communication constitutes presence in person if all participating directors can hear one another. Participation
by electronic transmission by and to the Corporation (other than conference telephone or electronic video screen communication) constitutes
presence in person if each participating director can communicate concurrently with all other participating directors and each director
has the means to participate in all matters before the board, including the ability to propose or object to a specific action proposed
to be taken.
Section
9. Quorum. A majority of the authorized number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except to
adjourn as hereinafter provided. Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the directors present at a meeting duly held at
which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the board of directors, subject to the provisions of Section 310 of the Corporations
Code of California (approval of contracts or transactions which a director has a direct or indirect material financial interest), Section
311 (appointment of committees), and Section 317(e) (indemnification of directors). A meeting at which a quorum is initially present
may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority
of the required quorum for such meeting.
Section
10. Waiver of Notice. The transactions of any meeting of the board of directors, however called and noticed or wherever held, shall
be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum be present and if, either before or after
the meeting, each of the directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the
minutes thereof The waiver of notice or consent need not specify the purpose of the meeting. All such waiver, consents and approvals
shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Notice of a meeting shall also be deemed given
to any director who attends the meeting without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice to such director.
Section
11. Adjournment. A majority of the directors present, whether or not constituting a quorum, may adjourn any meeting to another time
and place.
Section
12. Notice of Adjournment. Notice of the time and place of holding an adjourned meeting need not be given, unless the meeting is
adjourned for more than twenty-four (24) hours, in which case notice of such time and place shall be given prior to the time of the adjourned
meeting, in the manner specified in Section 8 of this Article III, to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment.
Section
13. Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors may be taken without a meeting,
if all members of the board shall individually or collectively consent in writing to such action. Such action by written consent shall
have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the board of directors. Such written consent or consents shall be filed with the
minutes of the proceedings of the board.
Section
14. Fees and Compensation of Directors. Directors and members of committees may receive such compensation, if any, for their services,
and such reimbursement of expenses, as may be fixed or determined by resolution of the board of directors. Nothing herein contained shall
be construed to preclude any director from servicing the Corporation in any other capacity as an office, agent, employee, or otherwise,
and receiving compensation for such services.
Section
15. Committees of Directors. The board of directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors, may
designate one or more committees, each consisting of two or more directors, to serve at the pleasure of the board of directors and to
exercise the authority of the board of directors to the extent provided in the resolution establishing the committee and as permitted
by the provisions of the California Corporations Code.

that are not historical facts. Such statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. All statements other than

Factors
that could cause or contribute to results differing from those in or implied in the forward-looking statements include but are not limited
