The Corporation’s ability to provide such opportunity is not subject to the Redemption Limitation.”
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Amendment to be duly executed in its name and on its behalf by an authorized officer as of this 21st day of November, 2022.
