THE OFFER

Section 2.01. The Offer. (a) Provided that nothing shall have occurred that, had the Offer referred to below been commenced, would give rise to a right to terminate the Offer pursuant to any of the conditions set forth in Annex I hereto, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof but in no event later than 15 Business Days following the date hereof, Merger Subsidiary shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the 1934 Act) an offer (the “Offer”) to purchase any and all of the outstanding Shares at a price of $0.35 per Share, net to the seller in cash. The Offer shall be subject to the condition that there shall be validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Offer, prior to the expiration date of the Offer and not withdrawn, a number of Shares that, together with the Shares then owned by Parent and/or Merger Subsidiary, represents at least 65% of the Shares outstanding, excluding Restricted Stock (the “Minimum Condition”) and to the other conditions set forth in Annex I hereto. Merger Subsidiary expressly reserves the right to waive any of the conditions to the Offer and to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer; provided that (i) the Minimum Condition may be waived only with the prior consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in the event that a majority of the Shares have been tendered, (ii) any material change to the terms and conditions of the Offer may only be made with the prior consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (iii) no change may be made that changes the form of consideration to be paid, decreases the price per Share or the number of Shares sought in the Offer or imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to those set forth in Annex I. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Company, Merger Subsidiary shall have the right to extend the Offer (i) from time to time if, at the scheduled or extended expiration date of the Offer, any of the conditions to the Offer shall not have been satisfied or waived, until such conditions are satisfied or waived and (ii) for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer or any period required by applicable law and (iii)

6

on one or more occasions for an aggregate period of not more than 10 Business Days beyond the latest expiration date that would otherwise be permitted under clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence, if, on such expiration date, the number of Shares tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer, together with the Shares then owned by Parent, represents more than the Minimum Condition but less than 90% of the outstanding Shares; provided that under no circumstances shall Merger Subsidiary, without the prior consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, extend the Offer to an expiration date more than 50 Business Days beyond the date that the Offer is commenced. Following expiration of the Offer, Merger Subsidiary may, in its sole discretion, provide a subsequent offering period (“Subsequent Offering Period”) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 of the 1934 Act. Subject to the foregoing, including the requirements of Rule 14d-11, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, Merger Subsidiary shall, and Parent shall cause it to, accept for payment and pay for, as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the Offer, all Shares (i) validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and (ii) validly tendered in the Subsequent Offering Period.

(b) As soon as practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer, but no later than 15 Business Days after the public announcement of the terms of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall (i) file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) that shall include the summary term sheet required thereby and, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of letter of transmittal and summary advertisement (collectively, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and Merger Subsidiary agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and the Offer Documents as so corrected to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. The Company and its counsel shall be given an opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents before the Schedule TO is filed with the SEC. In the event that this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Article 11, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall promptly terminate the Offer without accepting any Shares for payment.

Section 2.02. Company Action. (a) The Company hereby consents to the Offer and represents that its board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), at a meeting duly called and held and acting on the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of the Board of Directors comprised of two independent directors (the “Special Committee”), has unanimously (i) determined that this

7

Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, (ii) approved and adopted this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, in accordance with the requirements of the Delaware Law and (iii) subject to Section 7.04(b), resolved to recommend acceptance of the Offer and approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Merger by its stockholders. The Company further represents that Broadview International Limited has delivered to the Board of Directors its written opinion that the consideration to be paid in the Offer and the Merger is fair to the holders of Shares from a financial point of view based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein. The parties acknowledge that Warburg, Pincus Investors, L.P., subject to certain conditions, has agreed to either tender the Shares held by it pursuant to the Offer or to vote in favor of the Merger pursuant to a letter agreement with Symphony Technology II-A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Fund”) dated September 23, 2002, as amended from time to time. The Company shall direct its transfer agent to promptly furnish Parent with a list of its stockholders, mailing labels and any available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Shares and lists of securities positions of Shares held in stock depositories, in each case true and correct insofar as the records of the transfer agent are concerned as of the most recent practicable date, and shall provide to Parent such additional information (including updated lists of stockholders, mailing labels and lists of securities positions) and such other assistance as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the Offer.

(b) On the day that the Offer is commenced or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company shall file with the SEC and disseminate to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws, a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that, subject to Section 7.04(b), shall reflect the recommendations of the Board of Directors referred to above. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. The Company agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. Parent and its counsel shall be given an opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 before it is filed with the SEC.

Section 2.03. Directors. (a) Effective upon payment for at least 55% of the outstanding Shares pursuant to the Offer, excluding Restricted Stock, Parent shall be entitled to designate the number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Board of Directors that equals the product of (i) the total

8

number of directors on the Board of Directors (giving effect to the election of any additional directors pursuant to this Section) and (ii) the percentage that the number of Shares beneficially owned by Parent and/or Merger Subsidiary (including Shares accepted for payment) bears to the total number of Shares outstanding, and the Company shall take all action necessary to cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors, including increasing the number of directors, and seeking and accepting resignations of incumbent directors. At such time, the Company shall also use its reasonable best efforts to cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the next whole number, on (i) each committee of the Board of Directors other than the Special Committee or any committee of the Board of Directors established to take action under this Agreement and (ii) each board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company (and each committee thereof) that represents the same percentage as such individuals represent on the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until Parent and/or Merger Subsidiary acquires a majority of the outstanding Shares, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that all of the members of the Board of Directors and such committees and boards as of the date hereof who are not employees of the Company shall remain members of the Board of Directors and such committees and boards until the Effective Time.

(b) Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, if Parent’s designees are appointed or elected to the Board of Directors of the Company, until the Effective Time the Board of Directors of the Company shall have at least two (2) directors who are directors on the date hereof and who are not officers, designees, stockholders, affiliates or associates (within the meaning of the federal securities laws) of Parent or the Company or having any other material relationship with the Parent or the Company (one or more of such directors, the “Independent Directors”); provided that if less than two (2) Independent Directors remain, the remaining Independent Director (if any) or if no Independent Directors remain, the other directors, shall designate persons to fill the vacancies who shall not be officers, designees, shareholders, affiliates or associates of Parent or the Company or having any other material relationship with the Parent or the Company, and such persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement; provided further that, upon the payment for 55% of the Shares pursuant to the Offer, the Parent’s designees shall always represent at least a majority of the Board of Directors.

(c) The Company’s obligations to appoint Parent’s designees to the Board of Directors shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the 1934 Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all actions, and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors, as Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 require in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section. Parent shall supply to the Company in writing and be solely responsible for any information with respect to

9

itself and its nominees, officers, directors and affiliates required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1.

(d) Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to Section 2.03(a) and until the Effective Time, the approval of a majority of the directors of the Company then in office who were not designated by Parent, or if there are no such continuing directors, then a majority of the Independent Directors, shall be required to authorize (and such authorization shall constitute the authorization of the Board of Directors and no other action on the part of the Company, including any action by any other director of the Company, shall be required to authorize) any termination of this Agreement by the Company, any amendment of this Agreement requiring action by the Board of Directors, any extension of time for performance of any obligation or action hereunder by Parent or Merger Subsidiary, any waiver of compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein for the benefit of the Company, and the assertion or enforcement of the Company’s rights under this Agreement to object to (i) a failure to consummate the Merger for a failure of a condition contained herein for the benefit of the Company to be satisfied or (ii) a termination of this Agreement under Article 11.

ARTICLE 3

THE MERGER

Section 3.01. The Merger. (a) At the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with Delaware Law, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

(b) As soon as practicable after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all conditions to the Merger, the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall file a certificate of merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and make all other filings or recordings required by Delaware Law in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State or at such later time as is specified in the certificate of merger.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under Delaware Law.

Section 3.02. Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time:

10

(a) except as otherwise provided in Section 3.02(b), Section 3.02(c) or Section 3.04, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive $0.35 in cash or any higher price paid for each Share in the Offer, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”);

(b) each Share held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto;

(c) each Share held by any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding; and

(d) each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 3.03. Surrender and Payment. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent (the “Exchange Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”). Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent, as needed, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares. Such funds shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation pending payment thereof by the Exchange Agent to the holders of the Shares. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time, but no later than 10 Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of Shares at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration payable for each Share represented by a Certificate or for each Uncertificated Share. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be,

11

each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 3.

(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.03(a) (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged such Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such Shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of Shares for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares two years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any governmental authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.03(a) to pay for Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

Section 3.04. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 3.02, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Delaware Law shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal. If, after the

12

Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal, such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive the Merger Consideration. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

Section 3.05. Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each stock option to purchase Shares outstanding under any stock option or compensation plan or arrangement of the Company (“Options”) shall be canceled, and the Company shall pay each holder of any such option at or promptly after the Effective Time for each such option an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of $0.35 per Share over the applicable exercise price of such option by (ii) the number of Shares such holder could have purchased had such holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 3.06. Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding Shares shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of Shares, or stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the cash payable pursuant to the Offer, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 3.07. Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 3 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law. If the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares in respect of which the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 3.08. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 3.

To the extent any such Returns have not been filed, without regard to whether the failure to so file has been disclosed in Schedule 5.15, (i) if such Returns had been truly, completely and properly filed, such Returns would not have reflected, in the aggregate, a material Tax liability with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) the failure to file such Returns will not

22

result, and has not resulted, in the aggregate, in a material Tax liability with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has paid (or has had paid on its behalf) or has withheld and remitted to the appropriate Taxing Authority all Taxes due and payable, or, where payment is not yet due, has established (or has had established on its behalf and for its sole benefit and recourse) in accordance with GAAP an adequate accrual for all Taxes through the end of the last period for which the Company and its Subsidiaries ordinarily record items on their respective books.

(c) Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.15, the income and franchise Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries filed in all jurisdictions within the United States and the United Kingdom for all taxable years ending on or prior to April 30, 2000 have been examined and closed or are Returns with respect to which the applicable period for assessment under applicable law, after giving effect to extensions or waivers, has expired.

(d) There is no claim, audit, action, suit, proceeding or investigation now pending or to the Knowledge of the Company threatened against or with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries in respect of any Tax or Tax Asset.

(e) During the five-year period ending on the date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries was a distributing corporation or a controlled corporation in a transaction intended to be governed by Section 355 of the Code.

(f) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries owns an interest in real property in any jurisdiction in which a Tax is imposed, or the value of the interest is reassessed, on the transfer of an interest in real property and which treats the transfer of an interest in an entity that owns an interest in real property as a transfer of the interest in real property.

(g) Schedule 5.15 contains a list of all jurisdictions (whether foreign or domestic) in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries currently files Tax Returns.

(h) “Tax” means (i) any tax, governmental fee or other like assessment or charge of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, withholding on amounts paid to or by any Person), together with any interest, penalty, addition to tax or additional amount imposed by any governmental authority (a “Taxing Authority”) responsible for the imposition of any such tax (domestic or foreign), and any liability for any of the foregoing as transferee, (ii) in the case of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, liability for the payment of any amount of the type described in clause (i) as a result of being or having been before the Effective Time a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group, or a party to any agreement or arrangement, as a result of which liability of the

23

Company or any of its Subsidiaries to a Taxing Authority is determined or taken into account with reference to the activities of any other Person, and (i) liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the payment of any amount as a result of being party to any Tax Sharing Agreement or with respect to the payment of any amount imposed on any person of the type described in (i) or (ii) as a result of any existing express or implied agreement or arrangement (including, but not limited to, an indemnification agreement or arrangement). “Tax Return” means any report, return, document, declaration or other information or filing required to be supplied to any Taxing Authority with respect to Taxes, including information returns, any documents with respect to or accompanying payments of estimated Taxes, or with respect to or accompanying requests for the extension of time in which to file any such report, return, document, declaration or other information.

Section 5.16. Employee Benefit Plans. (a) Schedule 5.16 contains a correct and complete list identifying each material “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, each material employment, severance or similar contract, plan, arrangement or policy and each other material plan or arrangement (written or oral) providing for compensation, bonuses, profit-sharing, stock option or other stock related rights or other forms of incentive or loans, deferred compensation, vacation benefits, insurance (including any self-insured arrangements), health or medical benefits, employee assistance program, disability or sick leave benefits, workers’ compensation, supplemental unemployment benefits, severance benefits and post-employment or retirement benefits (including compensation, pension, health, medical or life insurance benefits) which is maintained, administered or contributed to by the Company or any Affiliate and covers any current or former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or with respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any liability, other than those plans and agreements filed as part of the Company SEC Documents. Except for those plans included in the Company SEC Documents, copies of such contracts, plans, arrangements and policies (and, if applicable, related trust or funding agreements or insurance policies) and all amendments thereto and written interpretations thereof have been furnished to Parent together with the most recent annual report (Form 5500 including, if applicable, Schedule B thereto) and tax return prepared in connection with any such plan or trust. Such contracts, plans, arrangements and policies are referred to collectively herein as the “Employee Plans.”

24

(d) Each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter, or has pending or has time remaining in which to file, an application for such determination from the Internal Revenue Service, and the Company is not aware of any reason why any such determination letter should be revoked or not be issued. Each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified or registered under the laws of any Non-U.S. jurisdiction is so qualified or registered.

ANNEX II

AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF

INCORPORATION

OF

INDUSTRI-MATEMATIK INTERNATIONAL CORP.

* * * * *

FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Industri-Matematik International Corp.

SECOND: The name and address of its registered agent and registered office in the State of Delaware is Industri-Matematik International Corp., Suite 748, One Commerce Center, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware 19801.

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 as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (“Delaware Law”).

FOURTH: The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 90,000,000, consisting of 75,00,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

The Board of Directors is hereby empowered to authorize by resolution or resolutions from time to time the issuance of one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, with respect to each such class or series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting each such class or series, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such class or series to the extent permitted by the Delaware Law, as amended from time to time.

FIFTH: Each holder of Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately

or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to Delaware Law.

SIXTH: The Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation.

SEVENTH: Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the Corporation so provide.

EIGHTH: (1) To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

(2) The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation or serves or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being referred to hereafter as an “Indemnitee”) or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE EIGHTH, except as set forth in Section (8) below, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(3) Actions or Suits by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorney’s fees) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which the Court of Chancery of Delaware or such other court shall deem proper.

(4) Indemnification for Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this ARTICLE EIGHTH, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections (2) and (3) of this ARTICLE EIGHTH, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such action, suit or proceeding, he shall be indemnified against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, if any action, suit or proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to the Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that the Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, the Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto.

(5) Notification and Defense of Claim. As a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee must notify the Corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving him for which indemnity will or could be sought. With respect to any action, suit,

proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the Corporation shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such claim, other than as provided below in this Section (5). The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel in connection with such claim, but the ss and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the Corporation and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this ARTICLE EIGHTH. The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of the Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for the Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above.

(6) Advance of Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Section (7) below, in the event that the Corporation does not assume the defense pursuant to Section (5) of this ARTICLE EIGHTH of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation receives notice under this ARTICLE EIGHTH, any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter, provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this ARTICLE EIGHTH. Such undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of such person to make such repayment.

(7) Procedure for Indemnification. In order to obtain indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to Section (2), (3), (4) or (6) of this ARTICLE EIGHTH, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including in such request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses. Any such indemnification or advancement of expenses

shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of the Indemnitee, unless with respect to requests under Section (2), (3) or (6) the Corporation determines within such 60-day period that the Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section (2) or (3), as the case may be. Such determination shall be made in each instance by (a) a majority vote of a quorum of directors of the Corporation consisting of persons who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question (“disinterested directors”), (b) if no such quorum is obtainable, a majority vote of a committee of two or more disinterested directors, (c) a majority vote of a quorum of the outstanding shares of stock of all classes entitled to vote for directors, voting as a single class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question, (d) independent legal counsel (who may be regular legal counsel to the Corporation), or (e) a court of competent jurisdiction.

(8) Remedies. The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this ARTICLE EIGHTH shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or if no disposition thereof is made within the 60-day period referred to above in Section (7). Unless otherwise required by law, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this ARTICLE EIGHTH shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation pursuant to Section (7) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The Indemnitee’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

(9) Subsequent Amendment. No amendment, termination or repeal of ARTICLE EIGHTH or of the relevant provisions of the Delaware Law or any other applicable laws shall affect or diminish in any way the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such amendment, termination or repeal.

(10) Other Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this ARTICLE EIGHTH shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his

official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding office for the Corporation, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee. Nothing contained in this ARTICLE EIGHTH shall be deemed to prohibit, and the Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into, agreements with officers and directors providing indemnification rights and procedures different from those set forth in this ARTICLE EIGHTH. In addition, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by its Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to other employees or agents of the Corporation or other persons serving the Corporation and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those set forth in this ARTICLE EIGHTH.

(11) Partial Indemnification. If an Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this ARTICLE EIGHTH to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which the Indemnitee is entitled.

(12) Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and 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 (including any employee benefit plan) against any expense, liability or loss incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware Law.

(13) Merger or Consolidation. If the Corporation is merged into or consolidated with another corporation and the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, the surviving corporation shall assume the obligations of the Corporation under this ARTICLE EIGHTH with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the date of such merger or consolidation.

(14) Savings Clause. If this ARTICLE EIGHTH or any portion thereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to any expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this

ARTICLE EIGHTH that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(15) Definition. Terms used herein and defined in Section 145(h) and Section 145(i) of the Delaware Law shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in such Section 145(h) and Section 145(i).

(16) Subsequent Legislation. If the Delaware Law is amended after adoption of this ARTICLE EIGHTH to expand further the indemnification permitted to Indemnitees, then the Corporation shall indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law, as so amended.

NINTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend this Certificate of Incorporation in any manner permitted by Delaware Law and, with the sole exception of those rights and powers conferred under the above ARTICLE EIGHTH, all rights and powers conferred herein on stockholders, directors and officers, if any, are subject to this reserved power.
