THIRD: Article VII of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to read in its entirety as set forth below:

“ARTICLE VII

LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR AND OFFICER LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director or officer of this corporation shall not be personally liable to this corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer. No amendment to, or modification or repeal of, this Article VII shall adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of this corporation existing hereunder with respect to any state of facts existing or act or omission occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article VII, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal. If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is amended after this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of the State of Delaware to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of this corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as so amended. All references in this Article VII to an “officer” shall mean only a person who, at the time of an act or omission as to which liability is asserted, falls within the meaning of the term “officer,” as defined in Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.”

FOURTH: Pursuant to resolutions adopted at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation approving the proposed amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, declaring the amendment to be advisable and calling a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation for consideration thereof, the special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation was duly called and held, upon notice in accordance with Section 222 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, at which meeting the necessary number of shares as required by statute were voted in favor of the amendment.
