“3.  Reverse Split.  Effective at 6:01 p.m., eastern time, on August 13, 2010 (the “Effective Time”), each five shares of Common Stock held of record as of the Effective Time or held in the Corporation’s treasury as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Old Common Stock”) shall be automatically reclassified and converted, without further action on the part of the holder thereof, into one share of Common Stock.  No fractional share of Common Stock shall be issued to any holder of record of Old Common Stock upon such reclassification and conversion.  From and after the Effective Time, such holder shall have no further interest as a stockholder in respect of any such fractional share and, in lieu thereof, the aggregate of all fractional shares otherwise issuable to the holders of record of Old Common Stock shall be issued to Computershare, the transfer agent, as agent for the accounts of all holders of record of Old Common Stock otherwise entitled to have a fraction of a share issued to them.  The sale of all of the fractional interests will be effected by the transfer agent as soon as practicable after the Effective Time on the basis of the prevailing market prices of the Common Stock at the time of sale.  After such sale and upon the surrender of the stockholders’ stock certificates, the transfer agent will pay to such holders of record their pro rata share of the net proceeds derived from the sale of the fractional interests.

 

Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Old Common Stock shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Old Common Stock represented by such certificate shall

Nothing contained in this Section 3 is intended to amend or modify Sections 1 or 2 of this Article Fourth.”

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this certificate to be duly executed by its Chief Financial Officer, Vice President and Assistant Secretary this 11th day of August, 2010.
