SECOND: The terms and provisions of this Certificate of Amendment have been duly adopted in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL. The following two paragraphs are hereby added to precede the first paragraph of Article IV of the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Certificate”):

 

“Contingent and effective as of 12:01a.m. Eastern Time on September 23, 2022 (the “Effective Time”), each thirty (30) shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issued and outstanding 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, of the Company (the “Reverse Split”). No fractional share shall be issued in connection with the foregoing combination of the shares pursuant to the Reverse Split. The Company will pay in each case the fair value of such fractional shares, without interest and as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company when those entitled to receive such fractional shares are determined.

 

The Reverse Split shall occur automatically without any further action by the holders of Common Stock, and whether or not the certificates representing such shares have been surrendered to the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable as a result of the Reverse Split unless the existing certificates evidencing the applicable shares of stock prior to the Reverse Split are either delivered to the Company, or the holder notifies the Company that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.”
