                  SIXTH: The following provisions are inserted for the
management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation,
and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the
Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

         (1) The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or
         under the direction of the Board of Directors.

         (2) The directors shall have concurrent power with the stockholders to
         make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the By-Laws of the
         Corporation.



         (3) The number of directors of the Corporation shall be as from time to
         time fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the By-Laws of the
         Corporation. Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless
         the By-Laws so provide.

         (4) No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of
         its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
         director, except for liability (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
         the director derived an improper personal benefit. Any repeal or
         modification of this Article SIXTH by the stockholders of the
         Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a
         director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or
         modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such
         repeal or modification.

         (5) In addition to the powers and authority hereinbefore or by statute
         expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to
         exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be
         exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the
         provisions of the GCL, this Certificate of Incorporation, and any
         By-Laws adopted by the stockholders; provided, however, that no By-Laws
         hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of
         the directors which would have been valid if such By-Laws had not been
         adopted.

                  SEVENTH: The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and
officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law, as now or
hereafter in effect, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall
inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and personal and legal
representatives; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce
rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify
any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal
representatives) in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by
such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented
to by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred by this
Article SEVENTH shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the
expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in
advance of its final disposition.

                  The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to
time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the
advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to
those conferred in this Article SEVENTH to directors and officers of the
Corporation.

                                       2



                  The rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses
conferred in this Article SEVENTH shall not be exclusive of any other right
which any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Certificate of
Incorporation, the By-Laws of the Corporation, any statute, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

                  Any repeal or modification of this Article SEVENTH by the
stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any rights to
indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a director or officer of
the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect
to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

                  EIGHTH: Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without
the State of Delaware, as the By-Laws may provide. The books of the Corporation
may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the GCL) 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 By-Laws of the Corporation.

                  NINTH: 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 all rights conferred
upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.
