                                    EXHIBIT A

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED

                          CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

                                       OF

                              DG ACQUISITION CORP.

                                 * * * * * * * *

                                   ARTICLE I

               The name of the corporation (the "Corporation") is:

                              DG Acquisition Corp.

                                   ARTICLE II

     The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of
Delaware is 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, Wilmington, Delaware 19808. The
name of the registered agent of the Corporation at such address is Corporation
Service Company, in the county of New Castle.

                                  ARTICLE III

     The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted by 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 (the
"GCL").

                                   ARTICLE IV

     (a) The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the
Corporation shall have authority to issue is 81,000,000 shares, consisting of
(i) 77,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the
"Class A Common Stock"); (ii) 2,500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par
value $0.0001 per share (the "Class B Common Stock") and (iii) 1,000,000 shares
of Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"),
issuable in one or more series as hereinafter provided. The Class A Common Stock
and the Class B Common Stock shall hereinafter collectively be referred to as
the "Common Stock."

     (b) All shares of Common Stock will be identical in all respects and will
entitle the holders thereof to the same rights and privileges, except as
follows:

          (i) in the event that the Corporation is dissolved and liquidated in
     the circumstances contemplated by paragraph (c) of Article V, the holders
     of Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to receive liquidating
     distributions with respect to their shares of Class B Common Stock; and

                                      -2-



          (ii) upon the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined in
     Article V), all shares of Class B Common Stock, including all outstanding
     shares and all authorized but unissued shares, shall automatically convert,
     on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class A Common Stock. The Corporation
     shall not in any manner subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend,
     reclassification recapitalization or otherwise) or combine (by reverse
     stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) the
     outstanding shares of one class of Common Stock unless the outstanding
     shares of all classes of Common Stock shall be proportionately subdivided
     or combined.

     (c) The Board of Directors is expressly granted authority to issue shares
of Preferred Stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each such series such
voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the
resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the
issue of such series (a "Preferred Stock Designation") and as may be permitted
by the GCL. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased
or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of
the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class,
without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series
thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required to take such action
pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation.

     Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any
Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of Common Stock shall exclusively
possess all voting power and each share of Common Stock shall have one vote. The
holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall vote
together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the
Corporation.

                                   ARTICLE V

     Paragraphs (a) through (e) set forth below shall apply during the period
commencing upon the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation and terminating
upon the consummation of any "Business Combination," and may not be amended
during the "Target Business Acquisition Period." A "Business Combination" shall
mean the acquisition by the Corporation, whether by merger, capital stock
exchange, asset or stock acquisition or other similar type of transaction, of
one or more operating businesses having, collectively, a fair market value equal
to at least 80% of the value of the Trust Fund (as defined below) ("Target
Business"). The "Target Business Acquisition Period" shall mean the period from
the effectiveness of the registration statement filed in connection with the
Corporation's initial public offering ("IPO") up to and including the first to
occur of (a) a Business Combination or (b) the Termination Date (as defined
below).

          (a) Prior to the consummation of any Business Combination, the
     Corporation shall submit such Business Combination to its stockholders for
     approval regardless of whether the Business Combination is of a type which
     normally would require such stockholder approval under the GCL. In the
     event that a majority of the IPO Shares (defined below) cast at the meeting
     to approve the Business Combination are voted for the approval of such
     Business

                                      -3-



     Combination, the Corporation shall be authorized to consummate the Business
     Combination; provided that the Corporation shall not consummate any
     Business Combination if the holders of 20% or more of the IPO Shares
     exercise their conversion rights described in paragraph B below.

          (b) In the event that a Business Combination is approved in accordance
     with the above paragraph (a) and is consummated by the Corporation, any
     stockholder of the Corporation holding shares of Class A Common Stock
     issued in connection with the IPO ("IPO Shares") who voted against the
     Business Combination may, contemporaneously with such vote, demand that the
     Corporation convert such stockholder's IPO Shares into cash. If so
     demanded, the Corporation shall, promptly after consummation of the
     Business Combination, convert such shares into cash at a per share
     conversion price equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the
     amount of funds in the Trust Fund, inclusive of any interest thereon,
     calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the
     Business Combination, by (ii) the total number of IPO Shares. "Trust Fund"
     shall mean the trust account established by the Corporation at the
     consummation of its IPO and into which a certain amount of the net proceeds
     of the IPO is deposited.

          (c) In the event that the Corporation does not consummate a Business
     Combination by the later of (i) 18 months after the consummation of the IPO
     or (ii) 24 months after the consummation of the IPO in the event that
     either a letter of intent, an agreement in principle or a definitive
     agreement to complete a Business Combination was executed but was not
     consummated within such 18 month period (such later date being referred to
     as the "Termination Date"), the officers of the Corporation shall take all
     such action necessary to dissolve and liquidate the Corporation as soon as
     reasonably practicable. In the event that the Corporation is so dissolved
     and liquidated, only the holders of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive
     liquidating distributions and the Corporation shall pay no liquidating
     distributions with respect to any other shares of capital stock of the
     Corporation.

          (d) A holder of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions
     from the Trust Fund only in the event of a liquidation of the Corporation
     or in the event such holder demands conversion of its shares in accordance
     with paragraph (b), above. In no other circumstances shall a holder of IPO
     Shares have any right or interest of any kind in or to the Trust Fund.

                                   ARTICLE VI

     The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class A, Class
B and Class C. The number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as
possible. The directors of the Corporation on the date hereof shall determine
their class. To the extent any additional directors are elected or appointed
prior to the Corporation's first annual meeting of stockholders, the directors
of the Corporation shall determine the class of such additional directors. The
directors in Class A shall be elected for a term expiring at the first annual
meeting of stockholders, the directors in Class B shall be elected for a term
expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders and the directors in Class
C shall be elected for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of
stockholders. Commencing at the first annual meeting of stockholders, and at
each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter, directors elected to succeed
those directors whose terms expire in connection with such annual meeting of
stockholders shall be elected for a

                                      -4-



term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders
after their election. Except as the GCL may otherwise require, in the interim
between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders
called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors
and the filling of any vacancy in connection therewith, newly created
directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled
vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by
the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less
than a quorum (as defined in the Corporation's Bylaws), or by the sole remaining
director. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their
respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected
and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death,
resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full
term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such
vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

                                  ARTICLE VII

     The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business
and for 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) Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the by-laws of
     the Corporation so provide.

          (b) The Board of Directors shall have the power, without the assent or
     vote of the stockholders, to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal
     the by-laws of the Corporation as provided in the by-laws of the
     Corporation.

          (c) The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act
     for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or
     at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering
     any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or
     be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the
     Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and
     entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be
     there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and binding upon
     the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been
     approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or
     not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of
     directors' interests, or for any other reason.

          (d) In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by
     statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered
     to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be
     exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to the
     provisions of the statutes of the State of Delaware, of this Amended and
     Restated Certificate of Incorporation and to any by-laws from time to time
     made by the stockholders; provided, however, that no by-law so made shall
     invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if
     such by-law had not been made.

          (e) The stockholders of the Corporation entitled to take action on any
     matter may not consent in writing to the taking of any such action without
     a meeting of stockholders duly

                                      -5-



     called and held in accordance with law, this Amended and Restated
     Certificate of incorporation and the Bylaws of the Corporation.

          (f) The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors
     and the transaction of such other matters as may be brought before such
     meeting in accordance with this Amended and Restated Certificate of
     Incorporation shall be held on such date and at such time and place in each
     year as may be determined by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of
     a majority of the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise required by law,
     special meetings of stockholders may be called only at the direction of the
     Board of Directors by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a
     majority of the entire Board of Directors or by the Chairman, the Vice
     Chairman or the Chief Executive officer (or a Co-Chief Executive Officer,
     if such an officer has been appointed by the Board of Directors.). Annual
     and special meetings of stockholders shall not be called or held otherwise
     than as herein provided.

          (g) The provisions of paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) of this Article VII
     may not be amended, altered, changed or repealed in any respect unless such
     amendment, alteration, change or repeal is approved by the affirmative vote
     of holders of not more than seventy-five (75%) of the voting power of the
     outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting
     together as a single class.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

     (a) 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, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the GCL or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the GCL 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 GCL, as so amended.

     (b) The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the
GCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may
indemnify pursuant thereto.

     (c) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending any civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which
such person may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the
Corporation (in the case of any action, suit or proceeding against a director of
the Corporation), or may be paid by the Corporation, as authorized by the Board
of Directors (in the case of any action, suit or proceeding against an officer,
trustee, employee or agent of the Corporation), in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by
or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII.

                                      -6-


     (d) The indemnification and other rights set forth in this Article VIII
shall not be exclusive of any provisions with respect thereto in the by-laws of
the Corporation or any other contract or agreement between the Corporation and
any officer, director, employee or agent of the Corporation.

     (e) Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article VIII, nor the adoption
of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this
Article VIII, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VIII in
respect of any matter occurring before such amendment, repeal or adoption of an
inconsistent provision or in respect of any cause of action, suit or claim
relating to any such matter which would have given rise to a right of
indemnification or right to the reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this
Article VIII if such provision had not been so amended or repealed or if a
provision inconsistent therewith had not been so adopted.

                                   ARTICLE IX

     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 Section 291 of
the GCL or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or
receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 279 of the GCL 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 a 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.
