the Preferred Stock of any series as may be designated by the Board of Directors
upon any issuance of the Preferred Stock of any series.

     2. Voting. The holders of the Common Stock shall have voting rights at all
meetings of stockholders, each such holder being entitled to one vote for each
share thereof held by such holder; provided, however, that, except as otherwise
required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any
amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (which, as used herein, shall

Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding
series

<PAGE>

of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either
separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such
series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation. There
shall be no cumulative voting.

     The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or
decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the

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 which may be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Corporation
may be reissued except as otherwise provided by law.

     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 adopting a resolution or resolutions
providing for the issuance of the shares thereof and by filing a certificate of
designations relating thereto in accordance with the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, to determine and fix the number of shares of such series
and such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such
designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special

resolutions, all to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the resolutions providing for issuance of any series of Preferred
Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be
junior to any other series of Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law.

     The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or
decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the capital
stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class,
irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware.

     FIFTH: Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation reserves the
right to amend, alter, change or repeal any 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 reservation.

     SIXTH: In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it
by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and subject to the
terms of any series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors shall have the
power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By-laws of the Corporation by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at any regular or
special meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present. The
stockholders may not adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By-laws of the
Corporation, or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith, unless such action
is approved, in addition to any other vote required by this Certificate of
Incorporation, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five
percent (75%) of the votes that all the stockholders would be entitled to cast
in any annual election of directors or class of directors. 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 the stockholders would be entitled to cast
in any annual election of directors or class of directors shall be required to
amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article
SIXTH.

     SEVENTH: Except to the extent that the General Corporation Law of the State
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 or repeal. If the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware is amended to permit further elimination or
limitation of the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a
director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as so amended.

     EIGHTH: The Corporation shall provide indemnification as follows:

     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 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 or she 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, partner, employee 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), liabilities, losses, judgments, fines, excise taxes
and penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably


                                       -3-

<PAGE>

incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a
manner which Indemnitee 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 or her 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 Indemnitee did not act in good
faith and in a manner which Indemnitee 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 or her
conduct was unlawful.

     2. Actions or Suits by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation
shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to or 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 Indemnitee 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, partner, employee 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 or on behalf of
Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal
therefrom, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this Section 2
in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless, and only to the extent, that
the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses (including attorneys'
fees) which the Court of Chancery of Delaware or such other court shall deem
proper.

     3. Indemnification for Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Article EIGHTH, 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 EIGHTH, or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such action, suit
or proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee
in connection therewith.

     4. Notification and Defense of Claim. As a condition precedent to an
Indemnitee's right to be indemnified, such Indemnitee must notify the
Corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation involving such Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee. After notice
from the Corporation to Indemnitee of its


                                       -4-

<PAGE>

election so to assume such defense, the Corporation shall not be liable to
Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee
in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, other than as
provided below in this Section 4. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his
or her own counsel in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, 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 Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has
been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to Indemnitee shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any
significant issue between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of the
defense of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation or (iii) the
Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of
such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, in each of which cases the fees
and expenses of counsel for Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the
Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Article EIGHTH. The
Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume
the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to
which counsel for Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided
for in clause (ii) above. The Corporation shall not be required to indemnify
Indemnitee under this Article EIGHTH for any amounts paid in settlement of any
action, suit, proceeding or investigation effected without its written consent.
The Corporation shall not settle any action, suit, proceeding or investigation
in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without
Indemnitee's written consent. Neither the Corporation nor Indemnitee will
unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed settlement.

     5. Advance of Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of this
Article EIGHTH, in the event of any threatened or pending action, suit,
proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation receives notice under this
Article EIGHTH, any expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by or on
behalf of Indemnitee in defending an 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 or on behalf of Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of
such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall
ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Corporation as authorized in this Article EIGHTH; and provided further that
no such advancement of expenses shall be made under this Article EIGHTH if it is
determined (in the manner described in Section 6) that (i) Indemnitee did not
act in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, or (ii) with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference
to the financial ability of Indemnitee to make such repayment.

     6. Procedure for Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. In order to
obtain indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 1, 2, 3 or
5 of this Article EIGHTH, an Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a
written request. Any such advancement of expenses shall be made promptly, and in
any event within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request
of Indemnitee, unless (i) the Corporation has assumed the defense pursuant to
Section 4 of this Article EIGHTH (and none of the circumstances


                                       -5-

<PAGE>

described in Section 4 of this Article EIGHTH that would nonetheless entitle the
Indemnitee to indemnification for the fees and expenses of separate counsel have
occurred) or (ii) the Corporation determines within such 60-day period that
Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section
1, 2 or 5 of this Article EIGHTH, as the case may be. Any such indemnification,
unless ordered by a court, shall be made with respect to requests under Section
1 or 2 only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination by the
Corporation that the indemnification of Indemnitee is proper because Indemnitee
has met 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 (a) by 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) by a committee of disinterested
directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not
a quorum, (c) if there are no disinterested directors, or if the disinterested
directors so direct, by independent legal counsel (who may, to the extent
permitted by law, be regular legal counsel to the Corporation) in a written
opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of the Corporation.

     7. Remedies. The right to indemnification or advancement of expenses as
granted by this Article EIGHTH shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court
of competent jurisdiction. 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 Indemnitee has met the applicable standard
of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6
of this Article EIGHTH that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that
Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Indemnitee's expenses
(including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred in connection with successfully
establishing Indemnitee's right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any
such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in any suit brought by Indemnitee to enforce a right to
indemnification hereunder it shall be a defense that the Indemnitee has not met
any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware.

     8. Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article
EIGHTH, except as set forth in Section 7 of this Article EIGHTH, the Corporation
shall not indemnify an Indemnitee pursuant to this Article EIGHTH in connection
with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee unless the
initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article EIGHTH, 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
reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, such Indemnitee shall promptly refund
indemnification payments to the Corporation to the extent of such insurance
reimbursement.

     9. Subsequent Amendment. No amendment, termination or repeal of this
Article EIGHTH or of the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware or any other applicable laws shall adversely affect or
diminish in any way the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the
provisions hereof with respect to any action, suit,


                                       -6-

<PAGE>

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.

     10. Other Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by this Article EIGHTH 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 Indemnitee's
official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding office
for the Corporation, and shall 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 Indemnitee. Nothing contained in this Article
EIGHTH 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 EIGHTH. 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 EIGHTH.

     11. Partial Indemnification. If an Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Article EIGHTH 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 or on behalf of
Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee for the portion of such
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in
settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.

     12. 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 or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or
her 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 the State of Delaware.

     13. Savings Clause. If this Article EIGHTH 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 EIGHTH that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.

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