Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article EIGHTH, subparagraph 1, 2, or 3, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with Article EIGHTH, subparagraph 1, 2, or 3, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article EIGHTH, subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3, in respect of any matter occurring before such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision or in respect of any cause of action, suit or claim relating to any such matter which would have given rise to a right of indemnification or right to receive expenses pursuant to this Article EIGHTH, subparagraph 1, 2, or 3, if such provision had not been so amended or repealed or if a provision inconsistent therewith had not been so adopted.

 

5. Limitation on Liability . No director or officer shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any stockholder for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for any matter in respect of which such director or officer (A) shall be liable under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any amendment thereto or successor provision thereto, or (B) shall be liable by reason that, in addition to any and all other requirements for liability, he:

  THIRD: That, effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of the filing of this Certificate of Amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of WebMediaBrands Inc. with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Effective Time"), the FOURTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety as follows:

 

"FOURTH: The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 18,750,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $.01 per share and 4,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $.01 per share.

 The shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and the shares of Common Stock issued and held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time are reclassified into a smaller number of shares such that each two to ten shares of issued Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time is reclassified into one share of Common Stock, the exact ratio within the two-to-ten range to be determined by the board of directors of the Corporation prior to the Effective Time and publicly announced by the Corporation by press release.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, no fractional shares shall be issued and, in lieu thereof, upon surrender after the Effective Time of a certificate which formerly represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the reclassification, following the Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the fraction to which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the fair value of a share of Common Stock , as determined by the board of directors of the Corporation, immediately following the Effective Time.

Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified (as well as the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time), provided, however, that each person of record holding a certificate that represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate, either a new certificate evidencing and representing the number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified or evidence that the Corporation's transfer agent has registered in electronic or "book entry" format" the number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified."

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF , the undersigned has made and signed this Certificate of Amendment this 15th day of August 2012 and affirms the statements contained herein as true under penalties of perjury.
