A. COMMON STOCK.
     1. General. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock.
     2. Voting. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held at all meetings of stockholders. There shall be no cumulative voting.
     Except as otherwise provided in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the sum of the number of shares thereof then outstanding and the number of shares required to be reserved under Subsection B below) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.
     3. Dividends. Dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock from funds lawfully available therefor as and when determined by the Board of Directors and subject to any preferential dividend rights of any then outstanding Preferred Stock.

          Any of the shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth in this Article Five, the Board of Directors or a Committee of the Board of Directors, to the extent permitted by law and the bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”), by resolution or resolutions, is authorized to create or provide for any such series, and to fix the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including, without limitation, the authority to fix or alter the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, exchange rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking and purchase fund provisions), the redemption price or prices, the dissolution preferences and the rights in respect to any distribution of assets of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting any such series, and the designation thereof, or any of them and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series so created, subsequent to the issue of that series but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.
          There shall be no limitation or restriction on any variation between any of the different series of Preferred Stock as to the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof; and the several series of Preferred Stock may, except as hereinafter otherwise expressly provided in this Article Five, vary in any and all respects as fixed and determined by the resolution or resolutions of the

3



 

Board of Directors or by Committee of the Board of Directors, providing for the issuance of the various series; provided, however, that all shares of any one series of Preferred Stock shall have the same designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions.
     Except as otherwise required by law, or as otherwise fixed by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors with respect to one or more series of Preferred Stock, the entire voting power and all voting rights shall be vested exclusively in the Common Stock, and each stockholder of the Corporation who at the time possesses voting power for any purpose shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation.
ARTICLE SIX

          2. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board is expressly authorized to authorize and cause to be executed mortgages and liens upon the real and personal property of the Corporation.
          3. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board is expressly authorized to set apart out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends, a reserve or reserves for any purpose and to reduce any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.
B. BOARD ELECTION AND MEMBERSHIP.
          1. The election of directors need not be by written ballot and no director of the Corporation need be a stockholder of the Corporation unless the Bylaws shall so provide.
          2. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws.
          3. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three (3) classes, as nearly equal in size as possible, designated Class A, Class B and Class C, respectively. Directors shall initially be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the date hereof, the term of office of the Class A directors shall expire and Class A directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the date hereof, the term of office of the Class B directors shall expire and Class B directors shall be elected for a full term of three years.

          4.

          5. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
ARTICLE SEVEN
Limitation on Liability
          No Director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or to any stockholder for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that this provision shall not limit the liability of a director (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) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
          If the DGCL or any other statute of the State of Delaware hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors of the Corporation, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the statutes of the State of Delaware, as so amended, and such elimination or limitation of liability shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the limitation on the liability of a director provided by the foregoing provisions of this Article Seven.
          Any repeal or amendment of this Article Seven shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or amendment.

          The Corporation may, if so requested by a director or officer, advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon the receipt of an undertaking by and on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.
