The amendment to the Corporation’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation is as follows:
 
Article III of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation is amended by inserting the following at the end of Article III of the Corporation’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation:

As of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 14, 2013 (the “Effective Time”), every eight (8) shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by each holder, shall automatically be combined into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, without any further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
 
A shareholder who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share interest as a result of the Reverse Stock Split shall, with respect to such fractional share interest, be entitled to receive cash (without interest or deduction) from the Corporation in lieu of such fractional share interest, upon receipt by the Corporation’s transfer agent of such shareholder’s properly completed and duly executed transmittal letter and, where shares are held in certificated form, the surrender of such shareholder’s Old Certificates (as defined below), in an amount equal to the product of (i) the fractional share interest otherwise issuable to such shareholder as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, multiplied by (ii) the volume weighted average price of the Corporation’s Common Stock on the five trading days prior to the Effective Time, as reported by the NASDAQ Global Market.
 
Each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock (the “Old Certificates”), shall thereafter represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock represented by the Old Certificates shall have been combined, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above.”
