RESOLVED, that, in accordance with Section 1701.70(B)(3) of the Ohio Revised Code, Article Fourth of the Articles be, and it hereby is, amended to eliminate all references therein to the Series A Preferred Shares and to make other appropriate changes that are required by such elimination, such that Article Fourth of the Articles shall provide as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Amendment”);

Exhibit A

FOURTH: The maximum number of shares which the corporation is authorized to have outstanding shall be sixty million (60,000,000) shares, consisting of fifty-eight million (58,000,000) common shares with one cent ($0.01) par value (the “Common Shares”) and two million (2,000,000) preferred shares with one cent ($0.01) par value (the “Preferred Shares”).

The express terms and provisions the Common Shares are as follows:

(a) The rights of the Common Shares shall be subject in all respects to the rights and preferences of the Preferred Shares, in the manner and to the extent provided in this Article Fourth.

(b) The Common Shares shall rank junior to the Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends. Out of the assets of the Corporation available for dividends remaining after there shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment full dividends on all shares ranking prior to the Common Shares with respect to the payment of dividends, and subject to the restrictions or limitations contained in the express terms and provisions of all shares ranking prior to the Common Shares with respect to the payment of dividends, dividends may be declared and paid upon the Common Shares, but only when and as determined by the Board of Directors.

(c) The Common Shares shall rank junior to the Preferred Shares with respect to payment upon dissolution, liquidation or sale of assets of the Corporation. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, after there shall have been paid to or set apart for holders of all shares ranking senior to the Common Shares the full preferential amounts to which they are respectively entitled, the holders of the Common Shares shall be entitled to receive pro rata all of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders.

(d) The holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to one vote for each Common Share held by them respectively.

(e) No present or future holder of Common Shares shall, as such holder, have any preemptive rights in, or preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe to, any shares of the Corporation, or any bonds, debentures, or other securities convertible into any shares of the Corporation.

The Board of Directors shall have the authority by resolution to issue the shares of Preferred Shares from time to time on such terms as it may determine and to divide the Preferred Shares into one or more series and, in connection with the creation of any such series, to determine and fix by the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of shares thereof:

(a) the distinctive designation of such series, the number of shares which shall constitute such series, which number may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) from time to time by action of the Board of Directors, and the stated value thereof, if different from the par value thereof;

(b) the dividend rate, the times of payment of dividends on the shares of such series, whether dividends shall be cumulative, and, if so, from what date or dates, and the preference or relation which such dividends will bear to the dividends payable on any shares of stock of any other class or any other series of this class;

(c) the price or prices at which, and the terms and conditions on which, the shares of such series may be redeemed;

(d) whether or not the shares of such series shall be entitled to the benefit of a retirement or sinking fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of such shares and, if so entitled, the amount of such fund and the terms and provisions relative to the operation thereof;

(e) whether or not the shares of such series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, any other shares of stock of the Corporation or any other securities and, if so convertible or exchangeable, the conversion price or prices, or the rates of exchange and any adjustments thereof, at which such conversion or exchange may be made, and any other terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange;

(f) the rights of the shares of such series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or upon any distribution of the assets of the Corporation;

(g) whether or not the shares of such series shall have priority over or parity with or be junior to the shares of any other class or series in any respect, or shall be entitled to the benefit of limitations restricting (i) the creation of indebtedness of the Corporation, (ii) the issuance of shares of any other class or series having priority over or being on a parity with the shares of such series in any respect, or (iii) the payment of dividends on, the making of other distributions in respect of, or the purchase or redemption of shares of any other class or series on a parity with or ranking junior to the shares of such series as to dividends or assets, and the terms of any such restrictions, or any other restriction with respect to shares of any other class or series on a parity with or ranking junior to the shares of such series in any respect;

(h) whether such series shall have voting rights, in addition to any voting rights provided by law and, if so, the terms of such voting rights, which may be general or limited; and

(i) any other powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by law.

The powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Shares, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. All shares of any one series of Preferred Shares shall be identical in all respects with all other shares of such series, except that shares of any one series issued at different times may differ as to the dates from which dividends thereon shall be cumulative.
