| ● | Amend Section 2.14 to provide for any stockholder meeting to be held virtually or via means of remote communication and for the electronic transmission of notices for stockholder meetings (to the extent allowed under applicable law); and |
| ● | Add Section 3.15 to codify certain features concerning (i) the powers, election, qualification and term of directors, (ii) how Board vacancies are filled and (iii) procedures for director resignations and removals. |
