The holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to vote upon all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held.

Subject to the prior rights and preferences, if any, applicable to shares of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof, the holders of shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors at any time and from time to time out of any funds of the Corporation legally available therefor.

3. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, after distribution in full of the preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof, the holders of shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of the Common Stock held by them. Liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, as such terms are used in this subparagraph (3), shall not be deemed to be occasioned by or to include any merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Corporation with or into one or more corporations or other entities, any acquisition or exchange of the outstanding shares of one or more classes or series of the Corporation or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or a part of the assets of the Corporation.

B. Preferred Stock

1. Shares of the Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series, the shares of each series to have such voting powers, designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions, as shall be stated and expressed herein or in a resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (or a duly authorized committee thereof). Each such series of Preferred Stock shall be designated so as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (or a duly authorized committee thereof) is hereby expressly authorized, subject to the limitations provided by law, to establish and designate series of the Preferred Stock, to fix the number of shares constituting each series and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of

the shares of each series and the variations of the relative rights and preferences as between series, and to increase and to decrease the number of shares constituting each series, provided that the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may not decrease the number of shares within a series to less than the number of shares within such series that are then issued. The relative powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions may vary between and among series of Preferred Stock in any and all respects so long as all shares of the same series are identical in all respects, except that shares of any such series issued at different times may have different dates from which dividends thereon cumulate. The authority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (or a duly authorized committee thereof) with respect to each series shall include, but shall not be limited to, the authority to determine the following:

(a) The designation of such class or series;

(b) The number of shares initially constituting such class or series;

(c) The rate or rates and the times at which dividends on the shares of such class or series shall be paid, the periods in respect of which dividends are payable, the conditions upon such dividends, the relationship and preferences, if any, of such dividends to dividends payable on any other class or series of shares, whether or not such dividends shall be cumulative, partially cumulative or noncumulative, if such dividends shall be cumulative or partially cumulative, the date or dates from and after which, and the amounts in which, they shall accumulate, whether such dividends shall be share dividends, cash or other dividends or any combination thereof, and if such dividends shall include share dividends, whether such share dividends shall be payable in shares of the same or any other class or series of shares of the Corporation (whether now or hereafter authorized), or any combination thereof and the other terms and conditions, if any, applicable to dividends on shares of such Series;

(d) Whether or not the shares of such series shall be redeemable or subject to repurchase at the option of the Corporation or the holder thereof or upon the happening of a specified event, if such shares shall be redeemable, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including but not limited to the date or dates upon or after which such shares shall be redeemable, the amount per share which shall be payable upon such redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption dates and whether such amount shall be payable in cash, property or rights, including securities of the Corporation or another corporation;

(e) The rights of the holders of shares of such series (which may vary depending upon the circumstances or nature of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up) in the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and the relationship or preference, if any, of such rights to rights of holders of stock of any other class or series. A liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, as such terms are used in this subparagraph (e), shall not be deemed to be occasioned by or to include any merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Corporation with or into one or more corporations or other entities, any acquisition or exchange of the outstanding shares of one or more classes or series of the Corporation or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or a part of the assets of the Corporation;

(f) Whether or not the shares of such series shall have voting powers and, if such shares shall have such voting powers, the terms and conditions thereof, including, but not limited to, the right of the holders of such shares to vote as a separate class either alone or with the holders of shares of one or more other classes or series of stock and the right to have one vote or more (or less) than one vote per share;

(g) Whether or not a sinking fund shall be provided for the redemption of the shares of such series and, if such a sinking fund shall be provided, the terms and conditions thereof;

(k) Any other preferences, limitations and relative rights as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Article Fourth or the limitations provided by law.

2. Except as otherwise provided herein, as required by law or in any resolution of the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) creating any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock an all series thereof who are entitled to vote shall vote together with the holders of shares of Common Stock, and not separately by class.

FIFTH: The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may exercise all such authority and powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or the Certificate of Incorporation directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

A. Number of Directors

The number of directors of the Corporation (exclusive of Directors, if any, entitled to be elected by the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation which may be outstanding, voting separately as a series or class) shall be fixed from time to time by action of not less than two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, but in no event shall be less than three nor more than fifteen.

B. Classes

Subject to the rights, if any, of any series of preferred Stock then outstanding, the directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The number of directors in each class shall be the whole number contained in the quotient arrived at by dividing the authorized number of directors by three, and if a fraction is also contained in such quotient then if such fraction is one-third (1/3) the extra director shall be a member of Class III and if the fraction is two-thirds (2/3) one of the extra directors shall be a member of Class III and the other shall be a member of Class II. Directors shall serve for staggered terms of three years each, except that initially the Class I directors will serve until the Corporation’s 1998 annual meeting of stockholders, the Class II directors will serve until the Corporation’s 1999 annual meeting and the Class III directors will serve until the Corporation’s 2000 annual meeting. At each annual meeting of stockholders following the first annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. All directors shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders for the year in which their term expires and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

C. Vacancies

Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification or removal may be filled only by a majority vote of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been elected expires and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

D. Removal

Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed only for cause and only by the vote of the holders of a majority of the securities of the Corporation then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

SIXTH: Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

SEVENTH: Advance notice of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

EIGHTH: Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may only be taken upon the vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly called and may not be taken by written consent of the stockholders, unless such consent is unanimous.

 

5


NINTH: Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called at any time only by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of the Board of Directors then in office or by stockholders possessing at least 25% of the voting power of all issued and outstanding voting stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

TENTH: The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation by a majority vote of the directors then in office. Any Bylaws made by the directors under the powers conferred hereby may be amended or repealed by the directors or by the stockholders as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything contained in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the Bylaws shall not be amended or repealed by the stockholders without the affirmative vote of the holders of a least two-thirds (2/3) of all issued and outstanding voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors voting together as a single class.

ELEVENTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the 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 the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the 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 the Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stock holders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the Corporation.

TWELFTH: No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) of a director under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, (iv) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) of an officer in any action by or in the right of the Corporation. In addition to the circumstances in which a director or officer of the Corporation is not personally liable as set forth in the preceding sentence, a director or officer of the Corporation shall not be liable to the fullest extent permitted by any amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law hereafter enacted that further limits the liability of a director or officer, as applicable. No amendment to or repeal of this provision shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director or officer of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director or officer occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

THIRTEENTH: The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding (as hereinafter defined) by reason of the fact that he or she (i) is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or (ii) while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Such right shall be a contract right and as such shall inure to the benefit of any director or officer who is elected and accepts the position of director or officer of the Corporation or elects to continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation while this Article Thirteenth is in effect. Any repeal or amendment of this Article Thirteenth shall be prospective only and shall not limit the rights of any such director or officer or the obligations of the Corporation with respect to any claim arising from or related to the services of such director or officer in any of the foregoing capacities prior to any such repeal or amendment to this Article Thirteenth. Such right shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that such indemnification or advancement of costs of defense is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to have made its determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of, or advancement of costs of defense to, the claimant is permissible in the circumstances nor any actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Director or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that such indemnification or advance is not permissible. Such right shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by any such director or officer in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended; provided, however, that any such director or officer seeking payment of expenses presents to the Corporation a written undertaking to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under this Article Thirteenth or otherwise. The rights conferred above shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, bylaw, resolution of stockholders or directors, agreement, or otherwise.

The Corporation may also indemnify any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

7


Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for proceedings to enforce any director’s or officer’s rights to indemnification or any director’s or officer’s rights to advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer, or advance expenses of any director or officer, (or such director’s or officer’s heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board or any duly authorized committee thereof. As used herein, the term “proceeding” means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit, or proceeding, or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit, or proceeding.

FOURTEENTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, add, alter, change, repeal or adopt any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. In addition to any affirmative vote required by applicable law or any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or specified in any agreement, and in addition to any voting rights granted to or held by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all issued and outstanding voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors shall be required to amend, add, alter, change, repeal or adopt any provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation except for Articles First, Second, Third and the first part of Article Fourth through and including part A thereof.
