The Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 140,000,000, of which 20,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 120,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share.
A.    Preferred Stock. (1) The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series and in such amounts as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, of the Preferred Stock of each series shall be such as are fixed by the Board of Directors, authority so to do being hereby expressly granted, and as are stated and expressed in a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series of Preferred Stock (herein called the “Directors’ Resolution”). The Directors’ Resolution as to any series shall (a) designate the series, (b) fix the dividend rate, if any, of such series, the payment dates for dividends on shares of such series and the date or dates, or the method of determining the date or dates, if any, from which dividends on shares of such series shall be cumulative, (c) fix the amount or amounts payable on shares of such series upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, (d) state the price or prices or rate or rates, and adjustments, if any, at which, the time or times and the terms and conditions upon which, the shares of such series may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation or at the option of the holder or holders of shares of such series or upon the occurrence of a specified event, and state whether such shares may be redeemed for cash, property or rights, including securities of the Corporation or another entity; and such Directors’ Resolution may (i) limit the number of shares of such series that may be issued, (ii) provide for a sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of shares of such series and specify the terms and conditions governing the operations of any such fund, (iii) grant voting rights to the holders of shares of such series, provided that each share shall not have more than one vote per share, (iv) impose conditions or restrictions upon the creation of indebtedness of the Corporation or upon the issuance of additional Preferred Stock or other capital stock ranking on a parity therewith, or prior thereto, with respect to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, (v) impose conditions or restrictions upon the payment of dividends upon, or the making of other distributions to, or the acquisition of, shares ranking junior to the Preferred Stock or to any series thereof with respect to dividends or distributions of assets upon liquidation, (vi) state the time or times, the price or prices or the rate or rates of exchange and other terms, conditions and adjustments upon which shares of any such series may be made convertible into, or exchangeable for, at the option of the holder or

the Corporation or upon the occurrence of a specified event, shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of Preferred Stock or any other class or classes of stock or other securities of the Corporation, and (vii) grant such other special rights and impose such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, to the extent not inconsistent with this Article FOURTH and to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.
(2)    Except as by law expressly provided, or except as may be provided in any Directors’ Resolution, the Preferred Stock shall have no right or power to vote on any question or in any proceeding or to be represented at, or to receive notice of, any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation.
(3)    Preferred Stock that is redeemed, purchased or retired by the Corporation shall assume the status of authorized but unissued Preferred Stock and may thereafter, subject to the provisions of any Directors’ Resolution providing for the issue of any particular series of Preferred Stock, be reissued in the same manner as authorized but unissued Preferred Stock.
B.    Common Stock. All shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation shall be identical and except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in the Directors’ Resolution or Resolutions, if any, adopted by the Board of Directors with respect to any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power, and each share of Common Stock shall have one vote.
FIFTH: The number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be fixed as specified in the Bylaws of the Corporation, but shall not be less than three or more than 15. The directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The initial term for directors in Class I shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 1996; the initial term for directors in Class II shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 1997; and the initial term for directors in Class III shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 1998. Each class of directors shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors.
At the expiration of the initial term of each class of directors, and of each succeeding term of each class, each class of directors shall be elected to serve until the annual meeting of stockholders held three years from such expiration and until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, removal or retirement. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as near as possible to one-third the whole number of directors as so adjusted. Any director elected or appointed to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the remaining term of the class to which such directorship is assigned. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Corporation’s Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Any vacancy in the Board of Directors, whether arising through death, resignation or removal of a director, or through an increase in the number of directors of any class, shall be filled by the majority vote of the remaining directors. The Bylaws may contain any provision regarding classification of the Corporation’s directors not inconsistent with the terms hereof.
A director of the Corporation may be removed only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors, subject to further restrictions on removal, not inconsistent with this Article FIFTH, as may be contained in the Bylaws.
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 Certificate of Incorporation applicable thereto, and such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article FIFTH unless expressly provided by such terms.
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:
A.    The Board of Directors is authorized to alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws of the Corporation.

D.    No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting with prior notice and a vote. No action shall be taken by the stockholders by written consent.
SEVENTH: The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the statutes) 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 Bylaws of the Corporation.
EIGHTH: The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to create and issue, whether or not in connection with the issuance and sale of any of its stock or other securities, rights (the “Rights”) entitling the holders thereof to purchase from the Corporation shares of capital stock or other securities. The times at which and the terms upon which the Rights are to be issued will be determined by the Board of Directors and set forth in the contracts or instruments that evidence the Rights. The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to the Rights shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:
A.    The initial purchase price per share of the capital stock or other securities of the Corporation to be purchased upon exercise of the Rights.
B.    Provisions relating to the times at which and the circumstances under which the Rights may be exercised or sold or otherwise transferred, either together with or separately from, any other securities of the Corporation.

D.    Provisions that deny the holder of a specified percentage of the outstanding securities of the Corporation the right to exercise the Rights and/or cause the Rights held by such holder to become void.
E.    Provisions that permit the Corporation to redeem the Rights.
F.    The appointment of a Rights Agent with respect to the Rights.
NINTH: No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director, provided, however, that this Article NINTH shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director 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) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this Article NINTH 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 facts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is amended 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 General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as so amended.
