ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT

 

ANNEX A

 

The Articles of Incorporation are hereby amended by revising Article IV to amend and restate the first paragraph under Article IV in its entirety as follows:

 

Capitalization: The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the corporation shall have authority to issue is 910,000,000 shares of capital stock, such total of shares consisting of: (i) 900,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series, from time to time, with each such series to have such designation, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in an amendment to these Articles of Incorporation providing for the issue of such series. The board of directors of the Corporation is hereby expressly vested with authority to amend the Articles of Incorporation, without shareholder action or approval, to: (a) create one or more series of Preferred Stock, fix the number of shares of each such series (within the total number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock available for designation as a part of such series), and designate and determine, in whole or part, the preferences, limitations, and relative rights of each series of Preferred Stock; (b) alter or revoke the preferences, limitations and relative rights granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock; or (c) increase or decrease the number of shares constituting any series of Preferred Stock (the number of shares of which was originally fixed by the board of directors) either before or after the issuance of shares of the series, provided that the number may not be decreased below the number of shares of such series then outstanding, or increased above the total number of authorized shares of the Preferred Stock available for designation as a part of such series. Without limiting the foregoing, the authority of the board of directors with respect to each such series shall include, but not be limited to, the determination or fixing of the following:

 

(i) The distinctive designation and number of shares comprising such series, which number may (except where otherwise provided by the board of directors in creating such series) be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) from time to time by like action of the board of directors;

 

(ii) The dividend rate of such series, the conditions and times upon which such dividends shall be payable, the relation which such dividends shall bear to the dividends payable on any other class or classes of stock or series thereof, or on the other series of the same class, and whether dividends shall be cumulative or noncumulative;

 

(iii) Whether or not the shares of such series will be redeemable and it so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the times, prices and other terms and provisions upon which the shares of the series may be redeemed;

 

(iv) Whether or not the shares of the series shall be subject to the operation of retirement or sinking fund provisions to be applied to the purchase or redemption of such shares and, if such retirement or sinking fund be established, the annual amount thereof and the terms and provisions relative to the operation thereof;

 

(v) Whether or not the shares of the series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class or classes, with or without par value, or of any other series of the same class and, if provision is made for conversion or exchange, the times, prices, rates, adjustments and other terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange;

 

(vi) Whether or not the shares of the series shall have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and, if so, subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, the terms of such voting rights;

 

(vii) The rights of the shares of the series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or upon distribution of assets of the corporation;

 

(viii) Any other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series, as the board of directors may deem advisable.
