certificates.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;Section&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board of Directors may direct that a new certificate of stock or
uncertificated shares be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the corporation
alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such
issue of a new certificate or uncertificated shares, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion
and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or
destroyed certificate or certificates, or the legal representative of the owner, to advertise the
same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the corporation a bond in such sum as it may
direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the
certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed or the issuance of such new certificate
or uncertificated shares.&#148;

entirety as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;Section&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a
certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or
authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate or
uncertificated shares to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the

owner of uncertificated shares or by such person&#146;s attorney lawfully constituted in writing, such
uncertificated shares shall be cancelled, new equivalent uncertificated shares or certificated
shares shall be issued to the person entitled thereto and the transaction shall be recorded upon
the books of the corporation.&#148;

the Corporation&#146;s Bylaws were duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on December
