SECOND: The date of filing the original Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware was July 22, 2004.

THIRD: The amendments to the Corporation’s Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, set forth below were duly adopted and approved by the Board of Directors effective as of September 20, 2019 and were approved by the stockholders at a special meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders, duly called and held on October 31, 2019  upon notice in accordance with Section 222 of the DGCL, at which meeting the necessary number of shares as required by statute were voted in favor of the amendments.

FOURTH: The Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, is hereby amended by amending and restating Section 1 of Article IV:

FIFTH: The Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, is hereby amended by amending and restating Section 4 of Article IV:

“4. Reverse Stock Split. Upon the filing and effectiveness (the “Effective Time”) pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law of this Certificate of Amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation, each one hundred twenty (120) 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 $0.001 per share (the “New Common Stock”). The Corporation shall, through its transfer agent, provide a book-entry statement reflecting the number of shares of New Common Stock to which the holder is entitled following a reverse stock split to holders of Old Common Stock.

The Corporation shall not issue fractional shares of New Common Stock. The reverse stock split shall not increase or decrease the amount of stated capital or paid-in surplus of the Corporation, provided that any fractional share that would otherwise be issuable as a result of the reverse stock split shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share of New Common Stock. From and after the Effective
