FIFTH: Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the By-laws of the Corporation shall so provide.
SIXTH: A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
SEVENTH: (a) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter, a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Paragraph (b) of this Article SEVENTH, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article SEVENTH shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director of officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article SEVENTH or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.
(b) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Paragraph (a) of this Article SEVENTH is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard or conduct.
(c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article SEVENTH shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
(d) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
EIGHTH: In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon the Board of Directors by law, the Board of Directors shall have power to make, adopt, alter, amend or repeal from time to time By-laws of the Corporation, subject to the right of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to alter and repeal By-laws made by the Board of Directors and subject to the provisions of any By-law limiting the right of the Board of Directors to make certain modifications to the By-laws.
4. Upon the filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation:
(a) Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the date this Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State shall automatically become and be converted into one one hundred fiftieth (1/150) of a share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”). The par value of the Common Stock shall not be affected by the Reverse Split. No fractional shares shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Split. The Corporation shall pay, with respect to fractional shares, the value of such fractional shares based on the last reported trading price on the principal stock exchange or market on which the Common Stock is traded on the trading day preceding the effective date of the Reverse Split, or there is no trading of such date, the average of the closing bid prices on such date.
(b) Each of the presently outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), will, in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designation creating the Series B Preferred Stock, automatically, without any action on the part of the holder, become and be converted into two shares of Common Stock (determined after giving effect to the Reverse Split), and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series until such stock is once more designated as part of a particular series by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.
5. Set forth as Exhibit A to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation is a Statement of Designations setting forth the rights, preferences, privileges and limitations of a series of Preferred Stock consisting of seven million one hundred thousand (7,100,000) shares and designated as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
6. This Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
7. The capital of the Corporation will not be reduced under or by reason of any amendment herein certified.
