Section 1. Number of Authorized Shares. The total number of shares of

Hundred Fifty Million (150,000,000) shares. The Corporation shall be authorized
to issue two classes of shares of stock, designated, "Common Stock" and
"Preferred Stock." The Corporation shall be authorized to issue One Hundred
Million (100,000,000) shares of Common Stock, each share to have a par value of
$.001 per share, and Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, each
share to have a par value of $.001 per share.
Section 2. Common Stock. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may

Corporation may reissue shares of Common Stock that are redeemed, purchased, or
otherwise acquired by the Corporation unless otherwise provided by law.
Section 3. Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may
by resolution authorize the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock from time to
time in one or more series. The Corporation may reissue shares of Preferred
Stock that are redeemed, purchased, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation
unless otherwise provided by law. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to
fix or alter the designations, powers and preferences, and relative,
participating, optional or other rights, if any, and qualifications, limitations
or restrictions thereof, including, without limitation, dividend rights (and
whether dividends are cumulative), conversion rights, if any, voting rights
(including the number of votes, if any, per share, as well as the number of
members, if any, of the Board of Directors or the percentage of members, if any,
of the Board of Directors each class or series of Preferred Stock may be
entitled to elect), rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund
provisions, if any), redemption price and liquidation preferences of any wholly
unissued series of Preferred Stock, and the number of shares constituting any
such series and the designation thereof, and to increase or decrease the number

otherwise, as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors from time to
time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefore.
Section 5. Voting Rights. Each share of Common Stock shall entitle the
holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the
stockholders of the Corporation.
ARTICLE VI
Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of
Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept
(subject to any provision contained in Delaware General Corporation Law) 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.
ARTICLE VII
The number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to
time by or in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation or amendment
thereof duly adopted by the Board of Directors or by the stockholders of the
Corporation. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the
Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.
ARTICLE VIII
No action, which has not been previously approved by the Board of
Directors, shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual meeting or a
special meeting of the stockholders. Any action required to be taken at any
annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, or any action
2
which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be
taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent
or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by
the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of
votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at
which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be
delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State
of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the
corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of
stockholders are recorded.
ARTICLE IX
In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute,
the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal
the Bylaws of the Corporation.
ARTICLE X
To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (provided that the effect of any
such amendment shall be prospective only) the "Delaware Law"), a director of the
Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director. The
Corporation shall indemnify, in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted
by the Delaware Law (but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent
that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification
rights than permitted prior thereto), any person (or the estate of any person)
who is or was a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by
or in the right of the Corporation, and whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The Corporation to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware Law, may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any such person against any liability which may be asserted against such person.
The Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other
means (including without limitation a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of
such sums as may become necessary or desirable to effect the indemnification as
provided herein. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law, the
indemnification provided herein shall include expenses as incurred (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, finds and amounts paid in settlement and any such
expenses shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of
such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of the person seeking indemnification to repay such amounts if it is ultimately
determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any other provision of this Article, no advance shall be made by
the Corporation if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board
by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Directors, or (if such a quorum
is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested Directors so
directs) by independent legal counsel to the Corporation, that, based upon the
facts known to the Board or such counsel at the time such determination is made,
3
(a) the party seeking an advance acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his
or her duty to the Corporation or its stockholders, and (b) as a result of such
actions by the party seeking an advance, it is more likely than not that it will
ultimately be determined that such party is not entitled to indemnification
pursuant to the provisions of this Article X. The indemnification provided
herein shall not be deemed to limit the right of the Corporation to indemnify
any other person for any such expenses to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware Law, nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any
person seeking indemnification from the Corporation may be entitled under any
agreement, the Corporation's Bylaws, 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 such office. The Corporation
may, but only to the extent that the Board of Directors may (but shall not be
obligated to) authorize from time to time, grant rights to indemnification and
to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to
the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article X as it applies to the
indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the
Corporation.
The undersigned incorporator hereby acknowledges that the foregoing
certificate of incorporation is her act and deed and that the facts stated
therein are true.
