Article III, Section 2 was amended to clarify that the Company’s Board of Directors currently has seven members.

In addition, Article VIII was amended to
add a new Section 10, which provides that the Delaware Court of Chancery (or an alternative state or federal court located in Delaware
under certain circumstances where the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction) will be the exclusive forum for adjudication
of certain actions and proceedings brought after the Effective Date. These certain actions and proceedings include derivative actions,
