The principal changes to the Existing Certificate (as so amended and restated, the “Second Amended and Restated Certificate”) are as follows:

Article V.B was amended to eliminate the supermajority vote requirement for the Company’s shareholders to amend, in whole or in part, any provision of the bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”).

Article VI.C was amended to eliminate the supermajority vote requirement for the Company’s shareholders to remove directors for cause. Prior to such amendment, directors of the Company could be removed from office only for cause upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% in voting power of all then-outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon. to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate, the Company’s shareholders may now remove directors of the Company from office at any time for cause by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of all then-outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon; and

	Articles V.A, V.B, VI.B, VI.C, VIII.A, VIII.B, IX (deleted in its entirety) and X.C were amended to eliminate obsolete provisions and make other non-substantive and conforming changes.
