         Innovative Clinical Solutions, Ltd. (the "Corporation") filed its
original certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware on October 5, 1995 under the name Continuum Care Corporation. A
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, amending and restating the original
Certificate of Incorporation, was filed with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware on December 27, 1995 changing the name of the Corporation to

of the Corporation to Innovative Clinical Solutions, Ltd.

         Provision for the making of this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation is contained in an Order, dated August 25, 2000 (the "Confirmation
Order"), of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in
Case No. 00-- 3027 confirming the Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the
"Plan"). The Confirmation Order empowers and directs the Corporation to execute
such documents and take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions required to
enable the effective implementation of the Plan and the Confirmation Order.

changing the name of the Corporation to Innovative Clinical Solutions, Ltd.
(together, the "Previously Amended Certificate of Incorporation").

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

         FIRST: The name of the corporation is Innovative Clinical
Solutions, Ltd.

         SECOND: The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the
State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, City of Wilmington, County of New
Castle. The name of its registered agent at that address is The Corporation
Trust Company.

         THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or
activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware as set forth in Title 8 of the Delaware Code (the
"GCL").

         FOURTH:

         A. The aggregate number of shares which the Corporation shall have
authority to issue is Forty Million (40,000,000), all of which shares shall be
designated common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"). The
number of shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but, not below
the number of shares thereof then outstanding or the issuance of which is then
authorized under any stock option or similar plan to which the Corporation is a
party) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of
the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon.

         B. Except as otherwise provided by the GCL, the holders of Common Stock
shall exclusively possess all voting power. Each holder of record of issued and
outstanding Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters for
each share so held.

         C. Pursuant to Section 7.05 of the Plan, as confirmed by the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in Case No. 00-- 3027, as
of the Effective Date (as that date is defined in the Plan), any and all of the
authorized Old Common Stock of the Corporation (as defined in the Plan) existing
immediately prior to the Effective Date, whether issued or unissued, including
any right to acquire such Old Common Stock pursuant to any agreement,
arrangement, or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, exchange
rights, warrants, options or other rights, was deemed canceled and of no further
force and effect without any action on the part of the stockholders or Board of
Directors of the Corporation. The holders of such canceled Old Common Stock and
any canceled right to acquire such Old Common stock have no rights arising from
or relating to such Old Common Stock (or the stock certificates representing
such canceled stock) or any right to acquire such Old Common Stock, except the
right to receive the distribution, if any, to be made to holders of such
instruments under the Plan.

         D. To the extent prohibited by Section 1123 of Title 11 of the United
States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), the Corporation will not issue non-voting
equity securities; provided, however, that the foregoing (i) will have no
further force and effect beyond that required under Section 1123 of the
Bankruptcy Code, (ii) will have such force and effect, if any, only for so long
as such Section 1123 is in effect and applicable to the Corporation, and (iii)
may be amended or eliminated in accordance with applicable law as from time to
time in effect.

         FIFTH: 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 business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or
under the direction of the Board of Directors.

         B. The Board of Directors shall have the power to make, alter, amend,
change, add to or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation, subject to the right of
the stockholders to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the By-Laws,
provided that any such action by the stockholders shall require the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of
capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

         C. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be as from time to
time fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the By-Laws of the Corporation.
Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the By-Laws so
provide. The term of office of each director shall expire at the next annual
meeting of stockholders after his or her election. In accordance with the
By-Laws, directors appointed to fill vacancies created by the resignation or
removal of any director shall serve for the remainder of the term of the
director who resigned or was removed. A director may be removed only for cause
by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then
outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors.

         D. No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation
thereof is not permitted under the GCL as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article FIFTH by the stockholders of
the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director
of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with
respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

         E. The Corporation shall indemnify any director who, as the result of
his acting as a director of the Corporation, was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and upon
request shall pay any expense incurred

by any director in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in
advance of the final disposition of such matter, all to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law.

         F. In addition to the powers and authority 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 GCL, this
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and any By-Laws adopted by the
stockholders; provided, however, that no By-Laws hereafter adopted by the
stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have
been valid if such By-Laws had not been adopted.

         G. Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of
Delaware, as the By-Laws may provide. Special meetings of stockholders must be
called by the Secretary upon the request in writing of a stockholder or
stockholders holding of record at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the issued
and outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote at such meeting.

         H. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provisions
contained in the GCL) outside the State of Delaware at such places as may be
designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the By-Laws of the
Corporation.

         I. The By-Laws shall not contain any super-majority voting provisions
regarding any matters as to which the Board of Directors or stockholders shall
vote.

         SIXTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or
repeal any provisions contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribe by statute, and all
rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this
reservation.

         The undersigned Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, hereby
executes this corrected Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation on
this 25th day of September, 2000.
