OF

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT

OF

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

 

NVC International Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to Section 103(f) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, hereby certifies that:

 

1.                                       The Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation of NVC International Inc. which was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 28, 1994, is an inaccurate record of the corporate action therein referred to.

 

2.                                       Said Certificate of Amendment is incorrect in that it inadvertently omitted from the second sentence of the new paragraph added to the end of Article 1 of the Certificate of Incorporation the words “, and shall receive,” and the words “obtained by multiplying $0.5755 by the number.”

 

3.                                       Said Certificate of Amendment is incorrect in that it inadvertently included in the third sentence of the new paragraph added to the end of Article 4 of the Certificate of Incorporation typographical errors in the words “Twenty Thousand” and in the words “Old common Stock.”

 

4.                                       The second and third sentences of the new paragraph added to the end of Article 4 of the Certificate of Incorporation are corrected to read as follows:

 

“Stockholders who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, own a number of shares of Old Common Stock which is not evenly divisible by twenty thousand (20,000) shall, with respect

 



 

to such fractional interest, be entitled to receive, and shall receive, from the Corporation in lieu of fractions of shares of New Common Stock an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying $0.5755 by the number of shares of Old Common Stock held by such stockholder which is not evenly divisible by twenty thousand (20,000). Each certificate that theretofore represented shares of Old Common Stock shall thereafter represent that number of shares of New Common Stock into which the shares of old Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified; provided, however, that each person holding of record a stock certificate or certificates that represented shares of Old Common Stock shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate or certificates, a new certificate or certificates evidencing and representing the number of shares of New Common Stock to which such person is entitled.”

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, NVC International Inc., has caused this Certificate of Correction to be signed by Charles Julian Wills, its President, this 24th day of October, 1994.
