                           CORNERSTONE BRANDS, INC.


     Cornerstone Brands, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by

A.   COMMON STOCK
     ------------

          -------                                                             
of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of

          ------

meetings).  There shall be no cumulative voting.

     The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or

entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the

          -----------                                                          
whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to
receive all assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders, subject to any preferential rights of any then outstanding
Preferred Stock.


B.   PREFERRED STOCK.
     --------------- 

     Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each
of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the
resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation as hereinafter provided.  Any shares of

Preferred Stock shall not be construed to constitute different classes of shares
for the purposes of voting by classes unless expressly provided.

     Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors from time
to time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in connection
with the creation of any such series, by resolution or resolutions providing for

be stated and expressed in such resolutions, all to the full extent now or
hereafter permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware.  Without

or rank equally or be junior to the Preferred Stock of any other series to the
extent permitted by law.  Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of
Incorporation, no vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock
shall be a prerequisite to the designation or issuance of any shares of any
series of the Preferred Stock authorized by and complying with the conditions of
this Certificate of Incorporation, the right to have such vote being expressly
waived by all present and future holders of the capital stock of the
Corporation.

                                      -3-

 
                                   ARTICLE V

     The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal
the By-Laws of the Corporation.


                                  ARTICLE VI

     This Article is inserted for the management of the business and for the
conduct of the affairs of the Corporation.

     1.   Number of Directors.  The number of directors of the Corporation shall
          -------------------                                                   
not be less than three.  The exact number of directors within the limitation
specified in the preceding sentence shall be fixed from time to time pursuant to
a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

     2.   Classes of Directors.  The Board of Directors shall be and is divided
          --------------------                                                 
into three classes:  Class I, Class II and Class III.  No one class shall have
more than one director more than any other class.  If a fraction is contained in
the quotient arrived at by dividing the authorized number of directors by three,
then, if such fraction is one-third, the extra director shall be a member of
Class I, and if such fraction is two-thirds, one of the extra directors shall be
a member of Class I and one of the extra directors shall be a member of Class
II, unless otherwise provided for from time to time by resolution adopted by the
Board of Directors.

     3.   Election of Directors.  Elections of Directors need not be by written
          ---------------------                                                
ballot except as and to the extent provided in the By-Laws of the Company.

     4.   Terms of Office.  Each director shall serve for a term ending on the
          ---------------                                                     
date of the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such
director was elected; provided, that each initial director in Class I shall
                      --------                                             
serve for a term ending on the date of the annual meeting next following the end
of the corporation's fiscal year ending January 30, 1999; each initial director
in Class II shall serve for a term ending on the date of the annual meeting next
following the end of the Corporation's fiscal year ending January 29, 2000; and
each initial director in Class III shall serve for a term ending on the date of
the annual meeting next following the fiscal year ending February 3, 2001; and
provided further, that the term of each director shall continue until the
- --------                                                                 
election and qualification of his/her successor and shall be subject to his/her
earlier death, resignation or removal.

     5.   Allocation of Directors among Classes in the Event of Increases or
          ------------------------------------------------------------------
Decreases in the Number of Directors.  In the event of any increase or decrease
- ------------------------------------                                           
in the authorized number of directors, (i) each director then serving as such
shall 

                                      -4-

 
nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he/she is a member
until the expiration of his/her current term, subject to his/her earlier death,
resignation or removal, and (ii) the newly created or eliminated directorships
resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board of
Directors among the three classes of directors in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2 above.

     6.   Quorum; Action at Meeting.  A majority of the total number of
          -------------------------                                    
directors then in office shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Board
of Directors.  In the event one or more of the directors shall be disqualified
to vote at any meeting, then the required quorum shall be reduced by one for
each such director so disqualified; provided, however, that in no case shall
                                    --------  -------                       
less than one-third of the number of directors fixed pursuant to Section 1 above
constitute a quorum.  If at any meeting of the Board of Directors there shall be
less than such a quorum, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting
from time to time.  Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the
directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be
regarded as the act of the Board of Directors unless a greater number is
required by law, by the By-Laws of the Corporation or by this Certificate of
Incorporation.

     7.   Removal.  If and for so long as the Board of Directors is classified
          -------                                                             
pursuant to Section 141(d) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware,
stockholders may effect the removal of a director or the entire Board of
Directors only for cause, unless this Certificate of Incorporation provides
otherwise.

     8.   Vacancies.  Unless and until filled by the stockholders, any vacancy
          ---------                                                           
in the Board of Directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from
an enlargement of the Board, may be filled by a vote of a majority of the
directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining
director.  A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected to hold office
until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been
chosen, subject to the election and qualification of his/her successor and to
his/her earlier death, resignation or removal.

     9.   Stockholder Nominations and Introduction of Business, Etc.  Advance
          ----------------------------------------------------------         
notice of stockholder nominations for election of directors and other business
to be brought by stockholders before a meeting of stockholders shall be given in
the manner provided by the By-Laws of the Corporation.
 
     10.  Amendments.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, this
          ----------                                                    
Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation, and
notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the
votes which all of the stockholders would be entitled to cast at an annual
election of directors or class of directors shall be required to amend or
repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article VI.

                                      -5-

 
                                  ARTICLE VII

     Except to the extent that the General Corporation Law of Delaware prohibits
the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of
fiduciary duty, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the
Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such
liability.  No amendment to or repeal of this provision shall apply to or have
any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the
Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director
occurring prior to such amendment.


                                 ARTICLE VIII

     1.   Actions, Suits and Proceedings Other than by or in the Right of the
          -------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporation.  The Corporation shall indemnify each person who was or is a party
- -----------                                                                    
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), by
reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or
officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the
request of the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a
similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being
referred to hereafter as an "Indemnitee"), or by reason of any action alleged to
have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit
or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
        ---------------                                                  
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article, except as set forth in Section 7
below, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee seeking indemnification
in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee
unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, the
Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee is
reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in the event the Corporation
makes any indemnification payments to an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee is
subsequently 

                                      -6-

 
reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, such Indemnitee shall promptly refund
such indemnification payments to the Corporation to the extent of such insurance
reimbursement.

     2.   Actions or Suits by or in the Right of the Corporation.  The
          ------------------------------------------------------      
Corporation shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or
officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the
request of the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a
similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of any
action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all
expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, to the extent permitted by law,
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his
behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal
therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but
in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses (including attorneys' fees)
which the Court of Chancery of Delaware shall deem proper.

     3.   Indemnification for Expenses of Successful Party.  Notwithstanding the
          ------------------------------------------------                      
other provisions of this Article, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such action, suit or
proceeding, he shall be indemnified against all expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection
therewith.  Without limiting the foregoing, if any action, suit or proceeding is
disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without
prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to the Indemnitee, (ii) an
adjudication that the Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of
guilty or nolo contendere by the Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that the
          ---------------                                                 
Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (v) with
respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication that the Indemnitee had
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, the Indemnitee shall be
considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect
thereto.

       4. Notification and Defense of Claim.  As a condition precedent to his
          ---------------------------------                                  
right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee must notify the Corporation in writing
as soon as 

                                      -7-

 
practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving him for
which indemnity will or could be sought. With respect to any action, suit,
proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation is so notified, the
Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to
assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to the
Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the Corporation shall not
be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such claim, other than as provided
below in this Section 4. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own
counsel in connection with such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense
thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of
counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel
to the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict
of interest or position on any significant issue between the Corporation and the
Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action or (iii) the Corporation
shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in
each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be
at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by
this Article. The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of the
Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the
Corporation or as to which counsel for the Indemnitee shall have reasonably made
the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above.

     5.   Advance of Expenses.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6 below, in
          -------------------                                                   
the event that the Corporation does not assume the defense pursuant to Section 4
of this Article of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the
Corporation receives notice under this Article, any expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall be paid
by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter; provided,
                                                                       -------- 
however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in advance
- -------                                                                        
of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced
in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article.
Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of
the Indemnitee to make such repayment.

     6.   Procedure for Indemnification.  In order to obtain indemnification or
          -----------------------------                                        
advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 1, 2, 3 or 5 of this Article, the
Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including in such
request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the
Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent
the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses.  Any
such 

                                      -8-

 
indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be made promptly, and in any
event within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of
the Indemnitee, unless with respect to requests under Section 1, 2 or 5 the
Corporation determines within such 60-day period that the Indemnitee did not
meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2, as the case
may be. Such determination shall be made in each instance by (a) a majority vote
of the directors of the Corporation consisting of persons who are not at that
time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question ("disinterested
directors"), whether or not a quorum, (b) a majority vote of a quorum of the
outstanding shares of stock of all classes entitled to vote for directors,
voting as a single class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not
at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question, (c)
independent legal counsel (who may, to the extent permitted by law, be regular
legal counsel to the Corporation), or (d) a court of competent jurisdiction.

     7.   Remedies.  The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this
          --------                                                              
Article shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent
jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or if
no disposition thereof is made within the 60-day period referred to above in
Section 6.  Unless otherwise required by law, the burden of proving that the
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under
this Article shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the
Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the
Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6 that the Indemnitee has
not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or
create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of
conduct.  The Indemnitee's expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in
connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole
or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

     8.   Subsequent Amendment.  No amendment, termination or repeal of this
          --------------------                                              
Article or of the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware
or any other applicable laws shall affect or diminish in any way the rights of
any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to
any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any
actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such
amendment, termination or repeal.

          ------------                                                  
provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which an Indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement or vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official
capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding office for the
Corporation, and shall 

                                      -9-

 
continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer, and
shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and administrators of
the Indemnitee. Nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to prohibit,
and the Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into, agreements with
officers and directors providing indemnification rights and procedures different
from those set forth in this Article. In addition, the Corporation may, to the
extent authorized from time to time by its Board of Directors, grant
indemnification rights to other employees or agents of the Corporation or other
persons serving the Corporation and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater
or less than, those set forth in this Article.

          -----------------------                                         
provision of this Article to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a
portion of the expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines or amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in
connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation and any appeal
therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall
nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to
which the Indemnitee is entitled.

     11.  Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at
          ---------                                                          
its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) against any expense,
liability or loss incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his
status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify
such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General
Corporation Law of Delaware.

     12.  Merger or Consolidation.  If the Corporation is merged into or
          -----------------------                                       
consolidated with another corporation and the Corporation is not the surviving
corporation, the surviving corporation shall assume the obligations of the
Corporation under this Article with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts
occurring prior to the date of such merger or consolidation.

     13.  Savings Clause.  If this Article or any portion hereof shall be
          --------------                                                 
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to any expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil,
criminal or administrative, including an action by or in the right of the
Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this
Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law.

                                      -10-

 
     14.  Definitions.  Terms used herein and defined in Section 145(h) and
          -----------                                                      
Section 145(i) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall have the
respective meanings assigned to such terms in such Section 145(h) and Section

amended after adoption of this Article to expand further the indemnification
permitted to Indemnitees, then the Corporation shall indemnify such persons to

amended.


                                  ARTICLE IX

     Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special
meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting,
without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth
the action so taken, is signed by the holders of all of the outstanding shares
of stock that would be entitled to vote thereon at a meeting of stockholders.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, this Certificate of Incorporation or
the By-Laws of the Corporation, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser
percentage may be specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes which all of the stockholders
would be entitled to cast at an annual election of directors or class of
directors shall be required to amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision
inconsistent with, this ARTICLE IX.


                                   ARTICLE X

     Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as it may be
amended from time to time, shall apply to the Corporation.

provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or
hereafter prescribed by statute and this Certificate of Incorporation, and all
rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this
