PLITT THEATRES, INC., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify:
FIRST: That the Board of Directors of said corporation, at a meeting duly held, adopted the following resolutions, proposing and declaring advisable the following amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of said corporation, and directing that said amendment be submitted for approval by the shareholders of this corporation:
(1)
RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation be amended as follows:
1. Article FOURTH is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“FOURTH: The corporation shall have authority to issue 15,167 shares consisting of 10,000 shares having a par value of $.10 each (hereby designated as Series 1 Common Stock), 5,000 shares having a par value of $.10 each (hereby designated as Series 2 Common Stock) and 167 shares having a par value of $.10 each (hereby designated as Series 3 Common Stock).

If, upon a Distribution Event, the assets available for distribution, if distributed ratably among the holders of Common Stock would be insufficient to permit the payment to the Series 1 shareholders of the entire Preference Amount, then the assets to be distributed shall be distributed among the holders of the Series 1 and Series 3 Common Stock as follows: The Series 1 Shareholders shall be entitled to receive a portion of the assets available for distribution equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock held by the Series 1 shareholders and the Series 2 shareholders and the denominator of which is the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and Series 3 shareholders shall be entitled to receive a portion of the assets equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Series 3 shares outstanding, and the denominator of which is the total outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation.
