certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate
is issued, the certificate may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such officer,
transfer agent or registrar were still acting as such at the date of issue.
Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates
: The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any
certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen
or destroyed upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to
be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issuance of a new certificate or certificates,
the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance, require
the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or their legal representative,
to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in
such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the
Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
Limitations on Transfer of Stock
: The Corporation’s stock has been issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), including but not limited to Rule 506(b) or Rule
506(c) of Regulation D, and constitutes “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act. Such stock may not be transferred or resold except (i) pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) pursuant to an available exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the availability of
which must be established to the satisfaction of the Corporation, which may require a legal
opinion or other documentation.
7.5 Transfer of Stock As Applicable: Transfers of stock shall comply with all applicable
federal and state securities laws, including but not limited to Regulation D requirements
where applicable. The Corporation shall not be required to recognize any transfer
unless it has received (i) appropriate documentation demonstrating compliance with
applicable securities laws, (ii) shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper
evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, and (iii) any other
documentation reasonably required by the Corporation. Upon authorization of a valid
transfer of shares, the Corporation shall issue new shares to the person entitled thereto,
cancel the old certificate (if any), and record the transaction in its books.
Fixing a Record Date
: In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at
any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate
action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change,
conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any oth er lawful action, the Board of
Directors may fix a record date which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10)
days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. A
determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
Subvert Inc., PBC | Bylaws | 15
stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board
of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
Right of First Refusal
: No stockholder may sell, assign, pledge, or in any manner transfer any of the shares of
common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Corporation or any right or interest therein, whether
voluntarily or by operation of law, or by gift or otherwise (each, a “Transfer”), except by a
Transfer which meets the requirements hereinafter stated in this bylaw:
7.7.1 If the stockholder receives from anyone a bona fide offer acceptable to the stockholder
to purchase any of such stockholder’s shares of Common Stock of the Corporation,
then the stockholder shall first give written notice thereof to the Corporation. The
notice must name the proposed transferee and state the number of shares to be
transferred, the price per share and all other terms of the offer.
7.7.2 For forty-five (45) days following receipt of such notice, the Corporation or its assigns
have the option to purchase all or any lesser part of the shares specified in the notice at
the price and upon the terms stated in such bona fide offer. In the event the
Corporation elects to purchase all the shares, it shall give written notice to the selling
stockholder of its election and settlement for said shares will be made as provided
below in subsection (c).
7.7.3 In the event the Corporation elects to acquire any of the shares of the selling
stockholder as specified in said selling stockholder’s notice, an officer of the
Corporation shall so notify the selling stockholder and settlement thereof will be made
in cash within thirty (30) days after the Corporation receives said selling stockholder’s
notice; except that, if the terms of payment in said selling stockholder’s notice were
other than cash against delivery, the Corporation shall pay for said shares on the same
terms as stated in said selling stockholder’s notice.
7.7.4 In the event the Corporation does not elect to acquire all of the shares specified in the
selling stockholder’s notice, said selling stockholder may, within the sixty (60) day
period following the expiration of the option rights granted to the Corporation, sell to
the original bona fide offeror the shares specified in said selling stockholder’s notice
which were not acquired by the Corporation, in accordance with the provisions of
subsection 7.7.3 of this bylaw, but said sale may not be on terms more favorable to the
purchaser than those contained in the bona fide offer stated in said selling
stockholder’s notice. All shares so sold by said selling stockholder will continue to be
subject to the provisions of this bylaw in the same manner as before said Transfer.
7.7.5 Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the following transactions
are exempt from the provisions of this bylaw and do not constitute a Transfer:
7.7.5.1 An individual stockholder’s Transfer of any or all of his, her, or their
shares of Common Stock of the Corporation either during such
stockholder’s lifetime or on death to such stockholder’s immediate
family or a trust that is primarily for the benefit of such stockholder or
his, her, or their immediate family or both. “Immediate family” means
a spouse, lineal descendent, parent, or sibling (including half siblings)
of the stockholder making such Transfer. A trust is considered to be
Subvert Inc., PBC | Bylaws | 16
primarily for the benefit of such stockholder or his, her, or their
immediate family, or both, only if the beneficial interest of any other
person is so remote as to be negligible.
7.7.5.2 A stockholder’s bona fide pledge or mortgage of any shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation with a commercial lending institution, but any
subsequent Transfer of said shares by said institution shall be conducted
in the manner stated in this bylaw.
7.7.5.3 A stockholder’s Transfer of any or all of such stockholder’s shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation to any other stockholder of the
Corporation.
7.7.5.4 A stockholder’s Transfer of any or all of such stockholder’s shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation to a person who, at the time of such
transfer, is an officer or director of the Corporation.
7.7.5.5 A corporate stockholder’s Transfer of any or all of its shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation pursuant to and in accordance with
the terms of any merger, consolidation, reclassification of shares or
capital reorganization of the corporate stockholder, or pursuant to a sale
of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of a corporate
stockholder.
7.7.5.6 A corporate stockholder’s Transfer of any or all of its shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation to any or all of its stockholders.
7.7.5.7 A Transfer by a stockholder which is a limited or general partnership of
any or all of its shares of Common Stock of the Corporation to any or
all of its partners.
7.7.5.8 A Transfer by a stockholder which is a limited liability company of any
or all of its shares of Common Stock of the Corporation to any or all of
its members.
In any such case, the transferee, assignee, or other recipient receives and
holds such stock subject to the provisions of this Section, and there may be no further
Transfer of such stock except in accord with this Section.
7.7.6 The provisions of this Section may be waived with respect to any Transfer either by
the Corporation, upon 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 Corporation (excluding the votes represented by those shares to be
sold by the selling stockholder). This Section may be amended or repealed either by
an authorized action of the Board of Directors or by the stockholders, upon the express
written consent of the owners of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation.
7.7.7 Any sale or Transfer, or purported sale or Transfer, of securities of the Corporation by
stockholders will also be subject to any contractual restrictions to which the
stockholder or such securities are bound.
Subvert Inc., PBC | Bylaws | 17
7.7.8 Any sale or Transfer, or purported sale or Transfer, of securities of the Corporation by
stockholders is null and void unless the terms, conditions, and provisions of this bylaw
are observed and followed.
7.7.9 Whenever the Corporation has the right to purchase Common Stock under this right of
first refusal, the Corporation may assign the right to exercise all or a part of the
Corporation’s right of first refusal.
7.7.10 The certificates representing shares of Common Stock of the Corporation will bear on
their face the following legend so long as the right of first refusal remains in effect:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTION, AS PROVIDED IN THE BYLAWS OF
THE COMPANY.”
Registered Stockholders

on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, to vote as such owner, to hold
liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares

share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or
other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

Indemnification
Section 1. of Directors, Executive Officers, Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents.
8.6.1 Directors and Executive Officers: The Corporation will indemnify its directors and
executive officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other
applicable law; provided, however, that the Corporation may modify the extent of such
indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and executive officers and,
provided, further, that the Corporation will not be required to indemnify any director or
executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the
proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, (iii) such
indemnification is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the
powers vested in the Corporation under the DGCL or any other applicable law or (iv)
such indemnification is required to be made under subsection 8.6.4 of this Section.
8.6.2 Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents: The Corporation will have power to
indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or any
other applicable law. The Board of Directors will have the power to delegate the
determination of whether indemnification will be given to any such person except
executive officers to such officers or other persons as the Board of Directors determines.
8.6.3 Expenses: The Corporation will advance to any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a director or executive officer of the Corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or executive officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final
disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred
by any director or executive officer in connection with such proceeding, provided,
however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director
or officer in his, her, or their capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other
capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without
limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) will be made only upon delivery to the
Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts
so advanced if it is ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is
no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such
expenses under this Section or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to subsection
8.6.5 of this Section, no advance will be made by the Corporation to an executive officer
of the Corporation (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a
director of the Corporation, in which event this paragraph will not apply) in any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a
Subvert Inc., PBC | Bylaws | 19
determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if not a quorum, or
(ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority of such directors, even
though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so
direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the
decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and
convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not
believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.
8.6.4 Enforcement: Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to
indemnification and advances to directors and executive officers under this Section will
be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided
for in a contract between the Corporation and the director or executive officer. Any right
to indemnification or advances granted by this Section to a director or executive officer
will be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of
competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in
whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within 90 days of request
therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, will
be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any
claim for indemnification, the Corporation will be entitled to raise as a defense to any
such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it
permissible under the DGCL or any other applicable law for the Corporation to
indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an
executive officer of the Corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such executive
officer is or was a director of the Corporation) for advances, the Corporation will be
entitled to raise as a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that
such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his,
her, or their conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its
Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its 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, she, or they have met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal
counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, will be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met
the applicable standard of conduct.
8.6.5 NonExclusivity of Rights: The rights conferred on any person by this Section are not
exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any
applicable statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his, her, or
their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The
Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of
its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to
the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law.
Subvert Inc., PBC | Bylaws | 20
8.6.6 Survival of Rights: The rights conferred on any person by this Section will continue as to
a person who has ceased to be a director or executive officer and will inure to the benefit
of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
8.6.7 Insurance: To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, or any other applicable law, the
Corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on
behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Section.
8.6.8 Amendments: Any repeal or modification of this Section is only prospective and does
not affect the rights under this bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of
any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the
Corporation.
8.6.9 Saving Clause: If this Section or any portion hereof is invalidated on any ground by any
court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation will nevertheless indemnify each
director and executive officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion
of this bylaw that has not been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If this
Section is invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another
jurisdiction, then the Corporation will indemnify each director and executive officer to
the full extent under applicable law.
8.6.10 Certain Definitions: For the purposes of this Section, the following definitions apply:
8.6.10.1 The term “proceeding” is to be broadly construed and includes, without
limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement,
arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative.
8.6.10.2 The term “expenses” is to be broadly construed and includes, without
limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in
settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind
incurred in connection with any proceeding.
8.6.10.3 The term the “corporation” includes, in addition to the resulting corporation,
any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent)
absorbed in a consolidation or merger that, if its separate existence had
continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors,
officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, stands in the same position under the provisions of this
Section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he, she or they
would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate
existence had continued.
8.6.10.4 References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or
“agent” of the Corporation include, without limitation, situations where such
person is serving at the request of the Corporation as, respectively, a director,
Subvert Inc., PBC | Bylaws | 21
executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
8.6.10.5 References to “other enterprises” include employee benefit plans; references
to “fines” include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an
employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the
Corporation” include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Corporation that imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director,
officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its
participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a
manner he, she or they reasonably believed to be in the interest of the
participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan is deemed to have
acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as
referred to in this Section.

stockholders or by the Board of Directors, when such power is conferred upon the Board of
Directors by the certificate of incorporation at any regular meeting of the stockholders or of the

notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new bylaws be contained in the
notice of such special meeting. If the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws is conferred upon
the Board of Directors by the certificate of incorporation, it shall not divest or limit the power of
the stockholders to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.

reasonable terms. The loan, guarantee or other assistance may be with or without interest and

common law or under any statute.
