This provision may not be amended by the Board of Directors and may only be amended by stockholders holding the voting

power of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the meeting.

2.

To amend Section 4 of Article II of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws, by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

SECTION 4. VACANCIES IN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. In the event a vacancy in the Board of Directors or any director’s office is created by reason of death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause or by reason of any increase in the authorized number of directors, the directors then in office, though less than a majority of the whole authorized number of directors, by the vote of a majority of their number, or a sole remaining director may fill such vacancy for the unexpired term; provided that any vacancy in the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors approved by the stockholders or the removal of a director by the stockholders shall be filled by stockholders at a meeting or special meeting holding a plurality of the voting power of the shares present and entitled to vote at such meeting. This provision may not be amended by the Board of Directors and may only be amended by stockholders holding the voting power of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the meeting.
