Stock are as follows:
The
Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series at such time or times and
for such consideration or considerations as the Corporation’s Board of
Directors may determine. Each series of Preferred Stock shall be so
designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other
series and classes. Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate
of Incorporation, different series of Preferred Stock shall not be construed to
constitute different classes of shares for the purpose of voting by
classes.
The Board
of Directors is expressly authorized to provide for the issuance of all or

designations, preferences, voting powers (or no voting powers), relative,
participating, optional or other special rights and privileges and such

the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors to create
such series, and a certificate of said resolution or resolutions shall be filed
in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware. The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to
each such series shall include, without limitation of the foregoing, the right
to provide that the shares of each such series may: (i) have such
distinctive designation and consist of such number of shares; (ii) be
subject to redemption at such time or times and at such price or prices;
(iii) be entitled to the benefit of a retirement or sinking fund for the
redemption of such series on such terms and in such amounts; (iv) be
entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative) at
such rates, on such conditions, and at such times, and payable in preference to,
or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes or
any other series of stock; (v) be entitled to such rights upon the
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs,
or upon any distribution of the assets of the Corporation in preference to, or
in such relation to, any other class or classes or any other series of stock;
(vi) be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or
classes or any other series of stock at such price or prices or at such rates of
exchange and with such adjustments, if any; (vii) be entitled to the
benefit of such conditions, limitations or restrictions, if any, on the creation
of indebtedness, the issuance of additional shares of such series or shares of
any other series of Preferred Stock, the amendment of this Certification of
Incorporation or the Corporation’s By-Laws, the payment of dividends or the
making of other distributions on, or the purchase, redemption or other
acquisition by the Corporation of, any other class or classes or series of
stock, or any other corporate action; or (viii) be entitled to such other
preferences, powers, qualifications, rights and privileges, all as the Board of
Directors may deem advisable and as are not inconsistent with law and the
provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation.
1. Relative Rights of Preferred
Stock and Common Stock. All preferences, voting powers,
relative, participating, optional or other special rights and privileges, and
qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of the Common Stock are

to any shares of the Preferred Stock.

Certificate of Incorporation, each holder of Common Stock shall have one vote in
respect of each share of stock held by him of record on the books of the

of Directors, out of the assets of the Corporation which are by law available
therefor, dividends payable either in cash, in property or in shares of capital
stock.
4. Dissolution, Liquidation or
Winding Up. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the affairs 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, holders of Common Stock shall be entitled, unless otherwise
provided by law or this Certificate of Incorporation, to receive all of the
remaining assets of the Corporation of whatever kind available for distribution
to stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock
held by them respectively.
FIFTH. The Corporation is to
have perpetual existence.
SIXTH. In furtherance and not
in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of
Delaware:
|
A.
|
The
Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly authorized to adopt,
amend or repeal the By-Laws of the
Corporation.
|
|
B.
|
Elections
of directors need not be by written ballot unless the By-Laws of the
Corporation shall so provide.
|
|
C.
|
The
books of the Corporation may be kept at such place within or without the
State of Delaware as the By-Laws of the Corporation may provide or as may

|
SEVENTH. 1. Elimination of Personal
Liability. The Corporation eliminates
the personal liability of each member of its Board of Directors to the
Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, provided, however, that, to the extent provided by
applicable law, the foregoing shall not eliminate the liability of a director
(i) for any breach of such 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) under
Section 174 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or (iv) for any
transaction from which such director derived an improper personal
benefit.
If the
Delaware General Corporation Law is amended in the future to authorize corporate
action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then
the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to
the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so
amended from time to time.
Any repeal or modification of this
Article SEVENTH shall not increase the personal liability of any director of
this Corporation for any act or occurrence taking place prior to such
repeal or modification, or otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of
a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or
modification.
2. (a) Right to
Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
director, officer or employee of the Corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
including service with respect to employee benefit plans (hereinafter an
“indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an
official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other
capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent
that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification
rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such
amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees,
judgments, fines, taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably
incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith. Such
indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except
as provided in paragraph (b) hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce
rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee
in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee
only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred
in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid
by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in
advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”);
provided, however, that, if the
Delaware General Corporation Law so requires, an advancement of expenses
incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and
not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such
indemnitee, including without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan)
shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on
behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall
ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no
further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
for such expenses under this Section or otherwise (hereinafter an
“undertaking”).
(b) Right of Indemnitee to Bring
Suit. If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section is
not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty days after a written claim
has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for
advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty
days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful
in whole or in part in any such suit or in a suit brought by the Corporation to
recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the
indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or
defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee
to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by
the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall
be a defense that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct
set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, and (ii) any suit by the
Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an
undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a
final adjudication that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither
the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent
legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper
in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met
such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the
indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case
of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such
suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right
hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant
to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified or to such advancement of expenses under this Section
or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
(c) Non-Exclusivity of
Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the
advancement of expenses conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any
other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute,
this Certificate of Incorporation, By-Law, contract or agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
(d) Insurance. The
Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense,
liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to
indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware
General Corporation Law.
(e) Indemnification of Employees
or Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the
extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to
indemnification and to the advancement of expenses, to any agent of the
Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section with respect
to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors, and officers of
the Corporation.
EIGHTH. The Corporation
reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained in this
Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by
statute or otherwise as provided or subject to the rights granted
herein.
NINTH. Whenever a compromise
or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any
class of them and/or between this 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 this Corporation or of any creditor or
stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed
for this 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 this 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 this 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 stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the
case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of
this Corporation as 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 this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this
Corporation.
