(a)

REQUEST FOR RECORD DATE. The record date for determining such stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be as fixed by the Board of Directors or as otherwise established under this Article VIII. Any holder of Common Stock of the Corporation seeking to have such stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent without a meeting shall, by written notice addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation, delivered to the Corporation and signed by holders of record at the time such notice is delivered holding shares representing an aggregate of at least twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, request that a record date be fixed for such purpose. The written notice must contain the information set forth in paragraph (b) of this Article VIII. Following delivery of the notice, the Board of Directors shall, by the later of (i) 20 days after delivery of a valid request to set a record date and (ii) 5 days after delivery of any information required by the Corporation to determine the validity of the request for a record date or to determine whether the action to which the request relates may be effected by written consent under paragraph (c) of the Article VIII, determine the validity of the request and whether the request relates to an action that may be taken by written consent and, if appropriate, adopt a resolution fixing the record date for such purpose. The record date for such purpose shall be no more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and shall not precede the date such resolution is adopted. If a notice complying with the second and third sentences of this paragraph (a) has been duly delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation but no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors by the date required by the preceding sentence, the record date shall be the first date on which a signed written consent relating to the action taken or proposed to be taken by written consent is delivered to the Corporation in the matter described in paragraph (f) of this Article VIII; provided that, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required under the provisions of GCL, the record date shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

(b)

The Corporation may require the stockholder(s) submitting such notice to furnish such other information as may be requested by the Corporation to determine the validity of the request for a record date and to determine whether the request relates to an action that may be effected by written consent under this Article VIII. In connection with an action or actions proposed to be taken by written consent in accordance with this Article VIII, the stockholders seeking such action or actions shall further update and supplement the information previously provided to the Corporation in connection therewith, if necessary, as required by paragraph (c) of this Article VIII.

(c)

ACTIONS WHICH MAY BE TAKEN WITH WRITTEN CONSENT. Stockholders are not entitled to act by written consent if (i) the action relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law, (ii) the request for a record date for such action is delivered to the Corporation during the period commencing 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the notice of annual meeting for the immediately preceding annual meeting and ending on the earlier of (x) the date of the next annual meeting and (y) 30 calendar days after the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, (iii) an identical or substantially similar item (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, a “Similar Item”), other than the election or removal of directors, was presented at a meeting of stockholders held not more than 12 months before the request for a record date for such action is delivered to the Corporation, (iv) a Similar Item consisting of the election or removal of directors was presented at a meeting of stockholders held not more than 90 days before the request for a record date was delivered to the Corporation (and, for purposes of this clause, the election or removal of directors shall be deemed a “Similar Item” with respect to all items of business involving the election or removal of directors), (v) a Similar Item is included in the Corporation’s notice as an item of business to be brought before a stockholders meeting that has been called by the time the request for a record date is delivered to the Corporation but not yet held, (vi) such record date request was made in a manner that involved a violation of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or other applicable law, or (vii) sufficient written consents are not delivered to the Corporation prior to the first anniversary of the date of the notice of annual meeting for the immediately preceding annual meeting.

(d)

MANNER OF CONSENT SOLICITATION. In addition to the other requirements set forth in this Article VIII and by applicable law, holders of Common Stock of the Corporation may take action by written consent only if the stockholder or group of stockholders seeking to take action by written consent of stockholders uses best efforts to solicit consents from all holders of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on the matter and in accordance with applicable law.

(e)

DATE OF CONSENT. No written consent purporting to take or authorize the taking of corporate action (each such written consent is referred to in this paragraph and in paragraph (f) as a “Consent”) shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless Consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take such action are delivered to the Corporation in the manner required by paragraph (f) of this Article VIII within 60 days of the first date on which a Consent is so delivered to the Corporation.

(f)

DELIVERY OF CONSENTS. No Consents may be delivered to the Corporation or its registered office in the State of Delaware until 60 days after the delivery of a valid request to set a record date. Consents must be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware or its principal place of business. Delivery must be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. In the event of the delivery to the Corporation of Consents, the Secretary of the Corporation, or such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, shall provide for the safe-keeping of such Consents and any related revocations and shall promptly conduct such ministerial review of the sufficiency of all Consents and any related revocations and of the validity of the action to be taken by written consent as the Secretary of the Corporation, or such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, as the case may be, deems necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, whether the stockholders of a number of shares having the requisite voting power to authorize or take the action specified in Consents have given consent; provided, however, that if the action to which the Consents relate is the election or removal of one or more members of the Board of Directors, the Secretary of the Corporation, or such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, as the case may be, shall promptly designate two persons, who shall not be members of the Board of Directors, to serve as inspectors (“Inspectors”) with respect to such Consent, and such Inspectors shall discharge the functions of the Secretary of the Corporation, or such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, as the case may be, under this Article VIII. If, after such investigation, the Secretary of the Corporation, such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate or the Inspectors, as the case may be, shall determine that the action purported to have been taken is duly authorized by the Consents, that fact shall be certified on the records of the Corporation kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of stockholders and the Consents shall be filed in such records. In conducting the investigation required by this section, the Secretary of the Corporation, such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may

designate or the Inspectors, as the case may be, may, at the expense of the Corporation, retain special legal counsel and any other necessary or appropriate professional advisors as such person or persons may deem necessary or appropriate and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the opinion of such counsel or advisors.

(g)

EFFECTIVENESS OF CONSENT. Notwithstanding anything else in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, no action may be taken by written consent of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation except in accordance with this Article VIII. If the Board of Directors shall determine that any request to fix a record date or to take stockholder action by written consent was not properly made in accordance with, or relates to an action that may not be effected by written consent pursuant to, this Article VIII, or the stockholder or stockholders seeking to take such action do not otherwise comply with this Article VIII, then the Board of Directors shall not be required to fix a record date and any such purported action by written consent shall be null and void to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. No action by written consent without a meeting shall be effective until such date as the Secretary of the Corporation, such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, or the Inspectors, as applicable, certify to the Corporation that the Consents delivered to the Corporation in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Article VIII, represent at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take the corporate action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, in accordance with Delaware law and this Certificate of Incorporation; provided, that prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action shall be given to those holders of capital stock of the Corporation who have not consented in writing to such action.

(h)

CHALLENGE TO VALIDITY OF CONSENT. Nothing contained in this Article VIII shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any Consent or related revocations, whether before or after such certification by the Secretary of the Corporation, such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate or the Inspectors, as the case may be, or to prosecute or defend any litigation with respect thereto.

(i)

BOARD-SOLICITED STOCKHOLDER-ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, (x) none of the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any solicitation of stockholder action by written consent by or at the direction of the Board of Directors and (y) the Board of Directors shall be entitled to solicit stockholder action by written consent in accordance with applicable law.”

3.Article IX of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purposes may be called at any time by (i) the Board of Directors or the President or (ii) the Secretary of the Corporation, following receipt of one or more written demands to call a special meeting of the stockholders from one or more stockholders of record representing ownership of not less than twenty five percent (25%) of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote on the matter or matters to be brought before the proposed special meeting that complies with the procedures for calling a special meeting of the stockholders as set forth in this Article IX and the Bylaws, as applicable.

(a)

NOTICE. A request to the Secretary of the Corporation shall be delivered to him or her at the Corporation’s principal executive offices and signed by each stockholder, or a duly authorized agent of such stockholder, requesting the special meeting and shall set forth:

(i)

a brief description of each matter of business desired to be brought before the special meeting;

(ii)

the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting;

(iii)

the text of any proposal or business to be considered at the special meeting (including the text of any resolutions proposed to be considered and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment); and

(iv)

the information required in Article III, Section 2 of the Bylaws.

(b)

BUSINESS. Business transacted at a special meeting requested by stockholders shall be limited to the matters described in the special meeting request; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Board of Directors from submitting matters to the stockholders at any special meeting requested by stockholders.

(c)

TIME AND DATE. A special meeting requested by stockholders shall be held at such date and time as may be fixed by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date of any such special meeting shall be not more than 90 days after the request to call the special meeting is received by the Secretary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a special meeting requested by stockholders shall not be held if:

(i)

the Board of Directors has called or calls for an annual or special meeting of the stockholders to be held within 90 days after the Secretary receives the request for the special meeting and the Board of Directors determines in good faith that the business of such meeting includes (among any other matters properly brought before the meeting) the business specified in the request;

(ii)

the stated business to be brought before the special meeting is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law;

(iii)

a Similar Item was presented at any meeting of stockholders held within 90 days prior to the receipt by the Secretary of the request for the special meeting (and, for purposes of this Article IX, the election of directors shall be deemed a Similar Item with respect to all items of business involving the election or removal of directors); or

(iv)

the special meeting request was made in a manner that involved a violation of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d)

REVOCATION. A stockholder may revoke a request for a special meeting at any time by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at the Corporation’s principal executive offices, and if, following such revocation, there are unrevoked requests from stockholders holding in the aggregate less than the requisite number of shares entitling the stockholders to request the calling of a special meeting, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may cancel the special meeting.”

4.Article XII of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may be repealed, altered, amended or rescinded, in whole or in part, or a new Certificate of Incorporation may be adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office with the consent of stockholders of the Corporation holding a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all outstanding securities which by their terms may be voted on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Corporation generally.”

5.These amendments were duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

6.All other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation shall remain in full force and effect.

(g)REACQUIRED SHARES. Any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock redeemed or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof.

(h)LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP.

(i)In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment to holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference plus accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock.

(ii)If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to such holders of the sums which such holders are entitled to receive in such case, then all of the assets available for distribution to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be distributed among and paid to such holders ratably in proportion to the amounts that would be payable to such holders if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full.

(iii)Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person nor the sale or other distribution to another Person of all or substantially all the assets, property or business of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation for purposes of this Section 4.3(h).

(i) PREFERRED SHARE EXCHANGE.

Effective upon the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock in an underwritten public offering of the Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by the Corporation (without giving effect to the closing of the sale of any such shares pursuant to any over-allotment option granted in connection with such offering), each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock of the Corporation will be automatically reclassified, changed and converted into shares of the Common Stock at a conversion price (the "CONVERSION PRICE") equal to the price to the public of a share of Common Stock in such public offering as set forth in the underwriting agreement for such public offering. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion in exchange for each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be equal to the Liquidation Preference of such share divided by the Conversion Price; provided, however, that in lieu of issuing any fractional shares resulting from such conversions, a holder who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share shall be entitled to receive in lieu thereof an amount in cash equal to the product of such fractional share multiplied by the Conversion Price, which amount shall be payable together with the delivery to such holder of the new certificate or certificates to be issued to such holder pursuant to the following paragraph. Any accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of conversion also will be paid to the holder

in cash no later than the delivery of such certificate or certificates. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Each holder of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be entitled to receive, in exchange for the certificate or certificates representing the outstanding shares so converted registered in such holder's name, a new certificate or certificates representing such shares as so converted registered in such holder's name; provided, however, that the failure of any such holder to so exchange such holder's certificate or certificates shall in no way affect the conversion of such holder's shares as aforesaid, and upon such conversion such holder shall be deemed to have become the record holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable to such holder upon such conversion. Once converted, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued pursuant to Section 4.2 as part of a new series of Preferred Stock.

The term of the initial Class I directors shall terminate on the date of the 2003 annual meeting of stockholders; the term of the initial Class II directors shall terminate on the date of the 2004 annual meeting of stockholders and the term of the initial Class III directors shall terminate on the date of the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders beginning in 2003, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify for office, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors, however resulting, may be filled only by an affirmative vote of the majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by an affirmative vote of the sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold

office for a term that shall coincide with the term of the class to which such director shall have been elected.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 4.2 applicable thereto, and such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article V unless expressly provided by such terms.

ARTICLE VI

Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any or all of the directors of the Corporation may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities of the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, considered for purposes of this Article VI as one class.

ARTICLE VII

Elections of directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders shall be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall otherwise provide.

ARTICLE VIII

Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken only upon the vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly noticed and called, as provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation, and may not be taken by a written consent of the stockholders pursuant to the GCL.

ARTICLE IX

Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors or the President. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may not be called by any other person or persons.

ARTICLE X

The officers of the Corporation shall be chosen in such manner, shall hold their offices for such terms and shall carry out such duties as are determined solely by the Board of Directors, subject to the right of the Board of Directors to remove any officer or officers at any time with or without cause.

ARTICLE XI

The Corporation shall indemnify to the full extent authorized or permitted by law any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action or proceeding (whether civil or criminal or otherwise) by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or by reason of the fact that such director or officer, at the request of the Corporation, is or was serving any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in any capacity. Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to indemnification to which employees other than directors and officers may be entitled by law. No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such a director as a director. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a director shall be liable to the extent provided by applicable law (i) for any breach of the director'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) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this Article XI 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.

ARTICLE XII

The provisions set forth in Article II, Section 2 (except for the first paragraph thereof) and Section 3; Article III, Section 1 (except for the first paragraph thereof); and Article IX, Section 1 of the Bylaws of the Corporation or any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may be repealed, altered, amended or rescinded, in whole or in part, or a new Certificate of Incorporation may be adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office with the consent of stockholders of the Corporation holding at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all outstanding securities which by their terms may be voted on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Corporation generally.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned officer of the Corporation has executed this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation on behalf of the Corporation this ___ day of ____________, 2002.
