EXHIBIT 4.4

SAVVIS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Issuer”), does hereby certify that the Board of Directors duly adopted the following resolutions, and these resolutions were approved by the holders of the requisite number of outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to action by written consent in accordance with Sections 228 and 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

RESOLVED, that this Certificate of Designations, as set forth below, amends and restates in its entirety the Issuer’s original Certificate of Designations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 6, 2004.

The series will be designated as the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” and the number of shares constituting such series will be eleven million (11,000,000) shares.

The Holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available therefore, dividends at the same rate and at the same time as dividends are paid with respect to the Common Stock (treating each share of Preferred Stock as being equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible).

3.1 The Preferred Stock will, with respect to distributions upon a Liquidation Event, rank: (a) senior to all classes of Junior Securities; (b) on a parity with Parity Securities; and (c) junior to each class of Senior Securities.

3.2 The Issuer is entitled to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to authorize one or more additional series of preferred stock, file certificates of designation, and issue without restriction from time to time, any series of Junior Securities, Parity Securities or Senior Securities.

(a) Upon any Liquidation Event, Holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid, out of assets of the Issuer available for distribution, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference per share as of the date of the Liquidation Event, before

any distribution is made on any Junior Securities, including, without limitation, the Common Stock or (ii) the amount to which Holders of Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled had the Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock in accordance with Section 5 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event. Payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be made in cash.

(b) If, upon any Liquidation Event, the amounts payable with respect to the Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preference of all other Parity Securities are not paid in full, the Holders of the Preferred Stock and the Parity Securities will share pro rata in proportion to the full distribution to which each is entitled. After the payment of the full Liquidation Preference, such Holders shall not be entitled to any additional distribution of assets of the Issuer.

(a) Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically convert on the Effective Date into ten (10) shares of Common Stock. Not later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, the Issuer shall give each Holder of shares of Preferred Stock written notice that the Effective Date has occurred.

(b) Immediately prior to the close of business on any Effective Date, each Holder of Preferred Stock whose shares of Preferred Stock have been converted in whole or in part pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be deemed to be the Holder of record of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock notwithstanding that the share register of the Issuer shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such Person.

(c) On the Effective Date, all rights with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock so converted (other than the right to receive the notice referred to in 5.1(a) above) will terminate, except the rights of Holders thereof to: (i) receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock have been converted upon surrender of certificates representing such shares of Preferred Stock; and (ii) exercise the rights to which they are entitled as Holders of Common Stock.

(d) If the Effective Date shall not be a Business Day, then the applicable conversion right shall be deemed exercised on the next Business Day.

5.2 From and after the Effective Date, the Issuer shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized unissued shares of Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

5.3 The issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the converting Holder of shares of Preferred Stock for such certificates or for any tax in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby, and such certificates shall be issued or delivered

in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holders of the shares of Preferred Stock converted; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of the shares of Preferred Stock converted, and the Issuer shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificate unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance or delivery thereof shall have paid to the Issuer the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuer that such tax has been paid.

5.4 Stock Splits and Combinations. In case the Issuer shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date (i) subdivide or split the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iii) issue by reclassification of the shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Issuer, then, and in each such case, the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock shall be convertible shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any shares of Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer which such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above, had such shares of Preferred Stock been surrendered for conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subparagraph (a) shall become effective at the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

5.5 Fundamental Changes. In case of any Fundamental Change, the Holder of each share of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Change shall have the right upon any subsequent conversion to receive the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash and assets that such Holder would have received if such share had been converted immediately prior thereto. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5.5 with respect to the rights of the Holders of Preferred Stock after the Fundamental Change to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 shall be applicable after that event in a manner as nearly equivalent as practicable as before the Fundamental Change..

(a) Without the consent of any Holder of the Preferred Stock, subject to the requirements of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Issuer may amend or supplement this Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency.

(b) This Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations may be amended by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.
