ARTICLE VIII

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES

(1) In anticipation that the Corporation and BlueFocus may engage in the same or similar activities or lines of business and have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunities, and in recognition of the benefits to be derived by the Corporation through its contractual, corporate and business relations with BlueFocus (including service of officers and directors of BlueFocus as directors of the Corporation), the provisions of this Article VIII are set forth to regulate and define, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation as they may involve BlueFocus and its officers and directors, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its officers, directors and stockholders in connection therewith.

(2) No contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction between the Corporation and BlueFocus shall be void or voidable solely for the reason that BlueFocus is a party thereto if the material facts as to the contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee thereof that authorizes the contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction, and the Board of Directors or such committee in good faith authorizes the contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction by a committee of one or more disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum. Directors of the Corporation who are also directors or officers of BlueFocus may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee that authorizes the contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction.

(3) To the fullest extent permitted by law, BlueFocus shall have the right to, and shall have no duty not to (i) engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Corporation, (ii) do business with any client or customer of the Corporation and (iii) employ or otherwise engage any officer or employee of the Corporation, and the Corporation shall not be deemed to have an interest or expectancy in any such activities merely because the Corporation engages in the same or similar activities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither BlueFocus nor any officer or director thereof (except as provided in Section (d)


of this Article) shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of any such activities of BlueFocus or of such person’s participation therein. In the event that BlueFocus acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both BlueFocus and the Corporation, BlueFocus shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Corporation, and the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, renounces any interest or expectancy in such corporate opportunity and waives any claim that such corporate opportunity should have been presented to the Corporation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, BlueFocus shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of the Corporation by reason of the fact that BlueFocus pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person or entity or does not present such corporate opportunity to the Corporation.

(4) In the event that a director or officer of the Corporation who is also a director or officer of BlueFocus acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both the Corporation and BlueFocus, such director or officer of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, BlueFocus (i) shall be deemed to have fully satisfied and fulfilled such person’s fiduciary duty to the Corporation and its stockholders with respect to such corporate opportunity, (ii) shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that BlueFocus pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself or direct such corporate opportunity to another person or does not present such corporate opportunity to the Corporation, (iii) shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believes to be in and not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation for the purposes of Article V hereof and the other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation and (iv) shall be deemed not to have breached such person’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders or to have derived an improper personal economic gain therefrom for the purposes of Article V hereof and the other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, if such director or officer acts in good faith in a manner consistent with the following policy:

(a) where a corporate opportunity is offered to a person who is a director but not an officer of the Corporation and who is also a director or officer of BlueFocus, the Corporation shall be entitled to pursue such opportunity only if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director of the Corporation;

(b) where a corporate opportunity is offered to a person who is an officer of both the Corporation and BlueFocus, the Corporation shall be entitled to pursue such opportunity only if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as an officer of the Corporation;

(c) where a corporate opportunity is offered to a person who is an officer of the Corporation and who is also a director but not an officer of BlueFocus, the Corporation shall be entitled to pursue such opportunity unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director of BlueFocus, in which case BlueFocus shall be entitled to pursue such opportunity; and


(d) if an officer or director of the Corporation, who also serves as an officer or director of BlueFocus, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both the Corporation and BlueFocus in any manner not addressed by this Article VIII, Section (4), clauses (a), (b) or (c), such officer or director shall have no duty to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Corporation and shall to the fullest extent permitted by law not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer or director of the Corporation by reason of the fact that BlueFocus pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person or entity or does not present such corporate opportunity to the Corporation, and the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law renounces any interest or expectancy in such business opportunity and waives any claim that such business opportunity constituted a corporate opportunity that should be presented to the Corporation.

The provisions of this Article VIII, Section 4, sub-section (d) are not intended to be an allocation of corporate opportunities between the Corporation and BlueFocus or an exhaustive statement of corporate opportunities which may be available to the Corporation, pursuit of which shall be in accordance with this Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law.

(5) Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article.

(6) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of at least eighty percent (80%) of the votes entitled to be cast thereon shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt any provision as part of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with the purpose and intent of this Article VIII.

ARTICLE IX

STOCKHOLDER ACTION

Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the DGCL) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

Any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided by a Certificate of Designations, from and after the date that BlueFocus ceases to be the beneficial owner of shares representing at least a majority of votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Common Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders may be effected only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by a written consent or consents by stockholders in lieu of such a meeting.


Except as otherwise required by law or provided by a Certificate of Designations, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by (1) the Board of Directors or the Secretary of the Corporation pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of directors then in office or (2) BlueFocus, so long as BlueFocus is the beneficial owner of at least a majority of votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Common Stock. No business other than that stated in the notice of a special meeting of stockholders shall be transacted at such special meeting.
