Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL), adopted resolutions amending its Certificate of Incorporation as follows:
Paragraph A of Article Fourth of the Corporations Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to add the
following at the end of said Paragraph A, which shall read in its entirety as follows:
Effective at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the
date this Certificate of Amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the Effective Time), each twenty-five (25) shares of the
Corporations Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (Old Common Stock) shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the Corporation or the
respective holders thereof, be combined and reclassified into one (1) share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Corporation (New Common Stock). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, no
fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be issued in the reclassification and, in lieu thereof, upon receipt after the Effective Time by the exchange agent selected by the Corporation of a properly completed and duly executed transmittal letter
and, where shares are held in certificated form, the surrender of the stock certificate(s) formerly representing shares of Old Common Stock, any stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of New Common Stock as a result of the
foregoing combination and reclassification of the Old Common Stock (such combination and reclassification, the Reverse Stock Split), following the Effective Time (after taking into account all fractional shares of New Common
Stock otherwise issuable to such stockholder), shall be entitled to receive a cash payment (without interest) equal to the fractional share of New Common Stock to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing sales
price of a share of the Corporations Common Stock (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split) as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market on the date this Certificate of Amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. 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 Corporation or 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 combined and
reclassified (as well as the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of New Common Stock as set forth above); provided, however, that each holder of record of a certificate that represented shares of Old Common Stock shall receive,
upon surrender of such certificate, a new certificate representing the number of whole shares of New Common Stock into which the shares of Old Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been combined and reclassified, as well as any
cash in lieu of fractional shares of New Common Stock to which such holder may be entitled as set forth above.
FOURTH: Thereafter, pursuant
to a resolution by the Board, this Certificate of Amendment was submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for their approval in accordance with the provisions of Section 211 and 242 of the DGCL. Accordingly, said proposed amendment has
been adopted in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL.
