SECOND: Immediately upon the effectiveness of this Amendment to the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Effective Time”), each one thousand (1,000) shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation as treasury stock shall be converted into one (1) share of the Corporation’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, as constituted following the Effective Time.
THIRD: To accomplish the foregoing Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the following paragraph is added immediately after the first paragraph of ARTICLE FOURTH of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation as follows:
“Effective as of the effectiveness of the amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation amending and restating this first paragraph to ARTICLE FOURTH (this “Amendment”) and without regard to any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each one (1) share of Common Stock, either issued or outstanding or held by the Corporation as treasury stock, immediately prior to the time this Amendment becomes effective shall be and is hereby automatically reclassified and changed (without any further act) into one one-thousandth (1/1,000th) of a fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock without increasing or decreasing the amount of stated capital or paid-in surplus of the Corporation, provided that no fractional shares shall be issued to any stockholder of record of fewer than 1,000 shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the time this Amendment becomes effective, and that instead of issuing such fractional shares to such holders, the Corporation’s transfer agent shall aggregate all such fractional shares and sell them as soon as practicable after the effective time of this Amendment at the then prevailing prices on the open market, on behalf of those stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share. After the transfer agent’s completion of such sale, stockholders shall receive a cash payment from the transfer agent in an amount equal to their respective pro rata shares of the total net proceeds of that sale.”
