4. Paragraph A of Article VI of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

A. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither a director of the Corporation nor an officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, if the DGCL is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of a director or officer, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this paragraph, nor the adoption of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this paragraph, shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or adoption of such an inconsistent provision.”

 

For avoidance of doubt, Article VI shall otherwise remain unchanged.
