2.Section 3 of Article V of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“Section 3.  Classes of Directors; Term of Office. (a) Except as provided in Section 3(b), the Board shall be and is divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, designated: Class I, Class II and Class III. In case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of directors, the number of directors in each class shall be apportioned as nearly equal as possible. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

 

(b) The terms of the directors shall be as follows: (i) at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in fiscal 2017, the Directors whose terms expire at that meeting or such directors’ successors shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in fiscal 2020; (ii) at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in fiscal 2018, the directors whose terms expire at that meeting or such directors’ successors shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in fiscal 2019; (iii) at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in fiscal 2019, the directors whose terms expire at that meeting or such directors’ successors shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in fiscal 2020; and (iv) at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in fiscal 2020 and at each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter, all directors shall be elected to hold office for a one year term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders.
