Second. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended by adding the following after the second paragraph of Article FOURTH:

“Upon the filing and effectiveness (the “ Effective Time ”) pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law of this Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, each fifteen (15) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the “ Old Common Stock ”) either issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation in treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the respective holders thereof, be combined and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ New Common Stock ”).
