corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this
corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable
jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary
way of this corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the
application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this corporation under
the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the
application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed
for this corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the

EIGHTH: For the management of the business and for the conduct of the
affairs of the corporation, and in further definition, limitation, and
regulation of the powers of the corporation and of its directors and of its
stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided:
1. The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs
of the corporation shall be vested in its Board of Directors. The
number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of
Directors shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the
Bylaws. The phrase "whole Board" and the phrase "total number of
directors" shall be deemed to have the same meaning, to wit, the
total number of directors which the corporation would have if
there were to be no vacancies. No election of directors need be
made by written ballot.
2. After the original or other Bylaws of the corporation have
been adopted, amended, or repealed, as the case may be, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 109 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and, after the
corporation has received any payment for any of its stock, the
power to adopt, amend, or repeal,

Directors of the corporation, provided, however, that any
provision for the classification of directors of the corporation
for staggered terms pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d)
of Section 141 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware shall be set forth in an initial Bylaw or in a Bylaw
adopted by the stockholders entitled to vote of the corporation
unless provision for such classification shall be set forth in
this certificate of incorporation.
3. Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to issue only one
class of stock, each outstanding share shall entitle the holder
thereof to notice of, and the right to vote at, any meeting of
stockholders. Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to
issue more than one class of stock, no outstanding share of any
class of stock which is denied voting power under the provisions
of the certificate of incorporation shall entitle the holder
thereof to the right to vote at any meeting of stockholders
except as the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of
Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware shall otherwise require; provided, that no share of any
such class which is otherwise denied voting power shall entitle
the holder thereof to vote upon the increase or decrease in the
number of authorized shares of said class.
NINTH: The personal liability of the directors of the corporation is
hereby eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of paragraph
(7) of subsection (b) of Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware, as the same may be amended and supplemented.
TENTH: The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the
provisions of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all
persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said section from and
against any and all expenses, liabilities, or other matters referred to in or
covered by said section, and the indemnification provided for herein shall not
be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be
entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or
5
otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.
ELEVENTH: From time to time any of the provisions of this certificate of
incorporation may be amended, altered, or repealed, and other provisions
