Additional voting powers, designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of stock shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation from time to time.
Upon this Certificate of Amendment becoming effective pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), every eight shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Common Stock”), shall automatically be combined and reclassified, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock (the “New Common Stock”).

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 any action on the part of the respective holders thereof, represent that number of whole shares of New Common Stock into which the shares of Old Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified, subject to the elimination of any fractional share interests as described above.”
