BOARD OF DIRECTORS; MANAGEMENT OF THE CORPORATION
The following provisions are inserted for the management of the
business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation and for the
purpose of creating, defining, limiting and regulating the powers of the
Corporation and its directors and stockholders:
6.1 Management of Business.
(a) All corporate powers and authority of the Corporation (except as
at the time otherwise provided by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation)
shall be vested in and exercised by or under the direction of the Board of
Directors.
(b) The Board of Directors shall have the power without the assent or
vote of the stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By-Laws of the
Corporation.
6.2 Number. The number of directors shall be at least three, the exact
number of directors to be determined from time to time solely by resolution
adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors.
6.3 Classes. The directors shall be divided into three classes,
designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly
as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting
the entire Board of Directors. Each director shall serve for a term
-3-
ending on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders next following
the annual meeting at which such director was elected, provided that directors
initially designated as Class I directors shall serve for a term ending on the
date of the first annual meeting, directors initially designated as Class II
directors shall serve for a term ending on the second annual meeting, and
directors initially designated as Class III directors shall serve for a term
ending on the date of the third annual meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each director shall hold office until such director's successor shall have been
duly elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, resignation
or removal. In the event of any change in the number of directors, the Board of
Directors shall apportion any newly created directorships among, or reduce the
number of directorships in, such class or classes as shall equalize, as nearly
as possible, the number of directors in each class. In no event will a decrease
in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.
6.4 Voting; Nomination. There shall be no cumulative voting in the
election of directors. Election of directors need not be by written ballot.
Advance notice of nominations for the election of directors shall be given in
the manner and to the extent provided in the By-laws of the Corporation.
6.5 Vacancies. Vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from
death, resignation, removal or otherwise and newly created directorships
resulting from any increase in the number of directors may be filled solely by
a majority of the directors then in office (although less than a quorum) or by
the sole remaining director, and each director so elected shall hold office for
a term that shall coincide with the term of the Class to which such director
shall have been elected.
6.6 Removal. No director may be removed from office by the
stockholders except for cause with the affirmative vote of the holders of not
less than a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding securities of
the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors,
voting together as a single class.
6.7 Liability. A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to
the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law.
Neither the amendment nor repeal of Section 6.7 or 6.8, nor the adoption of any
provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws of the
Corporation, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law, any
modification of law, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of Section 6.7 or 6.8
in respect of any acts or omissions occurring prior to, and shall not adversely
affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing prior
to such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification.
6.8 Indemnification. Each person (and the heirs, executors or
administrators of such person) who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to, or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation
to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law. The right to indemnification
conferred in this Section 6.8 shall also include the right to be paid by the
-4-
Corporation the expenses incurred in connection with any such proceeding in
advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware
Law. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 6.8 shall be a
contract right.
The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide
indemnification to such of the officers, employees and agents of the
Corporation to such extent and to such effect as the Board of Directors shall
determine to be appropriate and authorized by Delaware Law.
The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense,
liability or loss incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out
of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to
indemnify him against such liability under Delaware Law.
The rights and authority conferred in this Section 6.8 shall not be
exclusive of any other right which any person may otherwise have or hereafter
acquire.
6.9 No Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Except as otherwise
provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 of this
Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of holders of any series of
Preferred Stock, no action required to be taken or which may be taken at any
annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation may be taken
without a meeting, and the power of stockholders to consent in writing, without
a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.
ARTICLE VII
AMENDMENT

contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter
prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and with the sole exception of
those rights and powers conferred under the above Sections 6.7 and 6.8, all
rights herein conferred upon stockholders or directors (in the present form of
this Certificate of Incorporation or as hereafter amended) are granted subject
to this reservation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, being the incorporator
hereinbefore named, has executed, signed and acknowledged this certificate of
