SIXTH: The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.


SEVENTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the 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 the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver of receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of section 291 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 the 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 the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the 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 the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the Corporation.


EIGHTH: For management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided:


1.  The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation shall be vested in its Board of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the Bylaws. The phrase “whole Board” and the phrase “total number of directors” shall be deemed to have the same meaning, to wit, the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies.  No election of directors need be by written ballot.


2.  After the original or other By-laws of the Corporation have been adopted, amended, or repealed, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of Section 109 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and, after the Corporation has received any payment for any of its stock, the power to adopt, amend, or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation may be exercised by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that any provision for the classification of directors of the Corporation for staggered terms pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d) of Section 141 of the General Corporation law of the State of Delaware shall be set forth in an initial Bylaw or in a Bylaw adopted by the stockholders entitled to vote of the Corporation unless provisions for such classification shall be set forth in this certificate of incorporation.


3.  Whenever the Corporation shall be authorized to issue only one class of stock, each outstanding share shall entitle the holder thereof to notice of, and the right to vote at, any meeting of stockholders. Whenever the Corporation shall be authorized to issue more







than one class of stock, no outstanding share of any class of stock which is denied voting power under the provisions of the certificate of incorporation shall entitle the holder thereof to the right to vote at any meeting of stockholders, except as the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware shall otherwise require; provided, that no share of any such class which is otherwise denied voting power shall entitle the holder thereof to vote upon the increase or decrease in the number of authorized shares of said class.


NINTH: The personal liability of the directors of the Corporation is hereby eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by paragraph (7) of subsection (b) of Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same may be amended and supplemented.


TENTH: The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said Section from and against any and all of the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees and expenses), liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by said Section, and the indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding the position giving rise to the entitlement to indemnification, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, estate, executors and administrators of any such person.


ELEVENTH: From time to time any of the provisions of this certificate of incorporation may be amended, altered or repealed, and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted in the manner and at the time prescribed by said laws, and all rights at any time conferred upon the stockholders of the Corporation by this certificate of incorporation are granted subject to the provisions of this Article ELEVENTH.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has signed this certificate and does hereby affirm the statements contained therein as true under the penalties of perjury this 5th day of August, 1998.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

OF

RIGHTS, PREFERENCES, PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS

OF

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

OF

ION NETWORKS, INC.


The undersigned officer of ION Networks, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the “Company”), does hereby certify:


That, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company by its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Board of Directors, at a duly constituted meeting, adopted the following recitals and resolution, which resolution remains in full force and effect on the date hereof:


WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, provides for a class of stock designated “Preferred Stock”;


WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, provides that the Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series and authorizes the Board of Directors of the Company to fix and determine or alter the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof;


WHEREAS, the Board of Directors, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, has provided for a series of Preferred Stock of the Company consisting of 200,000 shares designated as “Series A Preferred Stock” and has fixed and determined the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof and other matters relating to the Series A Preferred Stock by previously filing a Certificate of Designation of Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series A Preferred Stock; and


WHEREAS, the Corporation wishes to amend and restate such powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock and other matters relating to the Series A Preferred Stock;


NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors does hereby amend and restate the Certificate of Designation of Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series A Preferred Stock as follows:


1.  DIVIDEND PROVISIONS. No dividends shall be paid to the holders of







Series A Preferred Stock.


2.  LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to One Dollar and Eighty Cents ($1.80) (the “Original Series A Issue Price”). If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this paragraph.


3.  REDEMPTION. Neither the Company nor the holders of Series A

Preferred Stock shall have the unilateral right to call or redeem or cause to have called or redeemed any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.


4.  CONVERSION. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):


(a)  RIGHT TO CONVERT.


(i)  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for such stock, shall convert into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Series A Issue Price by the Conversion Price applicable to such share, determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion.


(ii)  The Conversion Price per share for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be eighteen cents ($0.18); provided, however, that the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth below.


(b)  MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. Before any holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, the holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefore, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of







Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Series A Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the persons entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted the Series A Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.


(c)  CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK.  The Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:


(i)  No adjustment of the Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock shall be made in an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except to the limited extent   provided for below, no adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this Section shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.


(ii) In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the applicable Purchase Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.


(iii)  If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the applicable Purchase Date is decreased by a reverse stock split or other combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.


(d)  OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event the Company shall declare a







distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights, then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 4(d), the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which their shares of such series of Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.


(e)  RECAPITALIZATIONS. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in Section 4(c)), provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of such series of Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock held by such holder would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of Section 4(c) with respect to the rights   of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of Section 4(c) (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of such series of Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.


(f)  NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its

Amended Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of Section 4(c) and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock against impairment.


(g)  NO FRACTIONAL SHARES AND CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS.


(i)  No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.


(ii)  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(c), the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms







hereof

and prepare and furnish to each record holder of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written   request at any time of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price for Series A Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock.


(h)  NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of any taking by the

Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall mail to each record holder of Series A Preferred Stock, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.


(i)  RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of   all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to its Amended Certificate of Incorporation.


(j)  NOTICES. Any notice required by the provisions of Section

4(c) to be given to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Company.

5.  VOTING RIGHTS. Except as specifically provided in Section 6, the

Series A Preferred Stock shall not have voting rights.


6.  PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS.


(a)  Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A







Preferred Stock voting separately as a single class:


(i)  alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely such shares of Series A Preferred Stock;


(ii)  increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock;


(iii)  authorize or issue, or obligate itself to issue, any equity security (other than Series A Preferred Stock), including any other security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security, having a preference over, or being on a parity with, the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, liquidation, redemption or voting; or


(iv)  effect any reclassification or recapitalization of the Series A Preferred Stock.


7.  STATUS OF REDEEMED OR CONVERTED STOCK. In the event any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted as provided for herein, the shares so redeemed or converted shall be cancelled and shall not be issuable by the Company.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ION Networks, Inc. has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series A Preferred Stock to be executed by its duly authorized officer this 13th day of September, 2002.
