Notwithstanding any other provisions of this [Amended and] Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, this [Amended and] Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation), the affirmative vote of eighty percent (80%) or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the voting stock of the Corporation shall be required to amend, modify or repeal, or to adopt any provisions inconsistent with this Article FOURTH of this [Amended and] Restated Certificate of Incorporation; provided however, that this Article FOURTH may be amended, modified or repealed, and any such new provision may be added, upon the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of the voting stock of the Corporation, if such amendment, modification, repeal or addition shall first have been approved and recommended by a resolution adopted by an affirmative vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the members of the Board of Directors.

FIFTH: Each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation.

In the absence of fraud, the judgment of the directors as to the adequacy of consideration for the issuance of such rights or options and the sufficiency thereof shall be conclusive.

SEVENTH: The following shall apply with respect to indemnification of certain persons by the Corporation and with respect to elimination of certain liability of directors:
