SECOND: The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 1811 Silverside Road, Wilmington, DE 19810, New Castle County; and the name of the registered agent of the Corporation in the State of Delaware at such address is Vcorp Services LLC.  The Corporation shall have the authority to designate other registered offices and registered agents both in the State of Delaware and in other jurisdictions.

 

THIRD:  The nature of the business and the purposes to be conducted and promoted by the Corporation shall be to engage in any lawful business, to promote any lawful purpose, and to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

FOURTH:  The capital stock of the Corporation shall be as follows:

 

1. Classes of Stock. The Corporation is authorized to issue one class of shares of capital stock to be designated as common stock (“Common Stock”). The number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued is one hundred million (100,000,000), par value $0.001 per share.

 

2. Rights of the Common Stock.  Except as otherwise provided by law or by the resolution or resolutions, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other purposes.  Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder with respect to all matters on which holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote.  Subject to the Delaware General Corporation Law, dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) in its discretion shall determine.  Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to receive the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them.

 

3. Rights and Options.  The Corporation has the authority to create and issue rights, warrants, options and other convertible securities entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of any class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock or other securities of the Corporation, and such rights, warrants, options and other convertible securities shall be evidenced by instrument(s) approved by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors is empowered to set the exercise price, duration, times for exercise and other terms and conditions of such rights, warrants, options or other convertible securities; providedhowever, that the consideration to be received for any shares of capital stock subject thereto may not be less than the par value thereof.

 

4. Effective as of 4:30 P.M. eastern time, on April 19, 2017 (the “Effective Time”), 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 Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time are reclassified into a smaller number of shares such that each eight (8) shares of issued Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time are reclassified into one (1) share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, no fractional shares shall be issued and, in lieu thereof, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the reclassification shall be entitled to a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market on the last trading day prior to the Effective Time, or if such price is not available, the average of the last bid and asked prices of the Common Stock on such day or other price determined by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

 

 

 

 

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 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 (as well as the right to receive a whole share in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock), 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, 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 (including the right to receive a whole share in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock).

SEVENTH:

 

1. The Corporation may, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said section from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities, costs, fees or other matters referred to in or covered by said section, and the indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, insurance, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
