ARTICLE I

 

The name of the Corporation is Aquaria, Inc.

The Corporation is authorized to issue only one class of shares, Common Stock, and the total number of shares the Corporation is authorized to issue is 10,000.

ARTICLE IV

 

1. The liability of directors of the Corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Article by the shareholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

All 1,000 shares of Common Stock voted in favor of the amendment and the restatement, thereby exceeding the vote required.
