         The following is a statement of the designations and the powers,
privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation.

A.       COMMON STOCK.

         1. General. All shares of Common Stock will be identical and will
entitle the holders thereof to the same rights, powers and privileges. The
rights, powers and privileges of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to
and qualified by the rights of holders of the Preferred Stock.

         2. Voting. Except as otherwise required by law or this Sixth Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each holder of Common Stock shall
have one vote in respect of each share of stock held of record by such holder on
the books of the Corporation for the election of directors and on all matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. Except as otherwise
required by law or provided herein, holders of Common Stock shall vote together
with holders of the Preferred Stock as a single class, subject to any special or
preferential voting rights of any then outstanding Preferred Stock. There shall
be no cumulative voting.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the holders of Common Stock shall vote
together with the holders of Preferred Stock as a single class with respect to
any proposed amendment hereto that would increase the number of authorized
shares of Common Stock, and the holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to
a separate class vote with respect thereto.

         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.

         4. Liquidation. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each
issued and outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to
receive an equal
<PAGE>   3
                                       3

portion of the net assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the
holders of Common Stock, subject to any preferential rights of any then
outstanding Preferred Stock.

B.       PREFERRED STOCK.

         The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series at such time or
times and for such consideration or considerations as the Board of Directors of
the Corporation may determine. Each series shall be so designated as to
distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes.
Except as otherwise provided in this Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, different series of Preferred Stock shall not be construed to
constitute different classes of shares for the purpose of voting by classes.

C.       UNDESIGNATED PREFERRED STOCK

         The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to provide for the
issuance of all or any shares of the undesignated Preferred Stock in one or more
series, each with such designations, preferences, voting powers (or special,
preferential or no voting powers), relative, participating, optional or other
special rights and privileges and such qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted
by the Board of Directors to create such series, and a certificate of said
resolution or resolutions (a "Certificate of Designation") shall be filed in
accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The
authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each such series shall
include, without limitation of the foregoing, the right to provide that the
shares of each such series may be: (i) subject to redemption at such time or
times and at such price or prices; (ii) entitled to receive dividends (which may
be cumulative or non-cumulative) at such rates, on such conditions, and at such
times, and payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends
payable on any other class or classes or any other series; (iii) entitled to
such rights upon the dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of,
the Corporation; (iv) convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other
class or classes of stock, or of any other series of the same or any other class
or classes of stock of the Corporation at such price or prices or at such rates
of exchange and with such adjustments, if any; (v) entitled to the benefit of
such limitations, if any, on the issuance of additional shares of such series or
shares of any other series of Preferred Stock; or (vi) entitled to such other
preferences, powers, qualifications, rights and privileges, all as the Board of
Directors may deem advisable and as are not inconsistent with law and the
provisions of this Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

         FIFTH. The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.

         SIXTH. The following provisions are included for the management of the
business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further

                  1. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be

The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors
shall be determined by resolution of a majority of the Board of Directors, but
in no event shall the number of directors be less than three. The directors

the Corporation.

                  2. Any one or more or all of the directors may be removed,
with or without cause, only by the holders of at least seventy-five percent
(75%) of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

                  3. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly
authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation, subject to
any limitation thereof contained in the by-laws. The stockholders shall also
have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation;
provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or
series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Sixth Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least seventy-five percent (75%) 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, shall
be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the by-laws of the
Corporation.

                  4. Stockholders of the Corporation may not take any action by
written consent in lieu of a meeting.

                  5. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for election of
directors and other business to be brought by stockholders before a meeting of
stockholders shall be given in the manner provided in the by-laws of the
Corporation.

                  6. Special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time
only by the President, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Board of
Directors (if any) or a majority of the Board of Directors. Business transacted
at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to
the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

                  7. The books of the Corporation may be kept at such place
within or without the State of Delaware as the by-laws of the Corporation may
provide or as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation.

         SEVENTH. The Corporation eliminates the personal liability of each
member of its Board of Directors to the Corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided, however,
that, to the extent provided by applicable law, the foregoing shall not
eliminate the liability of a director (i) for any breach of such director's duty
of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for
<PAGE>   5
                                       5

acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of Title 8 of the Delaware
Code or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper
personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this provision shall apply to or
have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director for or
with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such
amendment or repeal.

         EIGHTH. 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
the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the
application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed
for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the
Delaware Code, 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 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.

         NINTH. The Board of Directors of the Corporation, when evaluating any
offer of another party (a) to make a tender or exchange offer for any equity
security of the Corporation or (b) to effect a business combination, shall, in
connection with the exercise of its judgment in determining what is in the best
interests of the Corporation as whole, be authorized to give due consideration
to any such factors as the Board of Directors determines to be relevant,
including, without limitation:

                  (i) the interests of the Corporation's stockholders, including
the possibility that these interests might be best served by the continued
independence of the Corporation;

                  (ii) whether the proposed transaction might violate federal or
state laws;

                  (iii) not only the consideration being offered in the proposed
transaction, in relation to the then current market price for the outstanding
capital stock of the Corporation, but also to the market price for the capital
stock of the Corporation over a period of years, the estimated price that might
be achieved in a negotiated sale of the Corporation as a whole or in part or
through orderly liquidation, the premiums over
<PAGE>   6
                                       6

market price for the securities of other corporations in similar transactions,
current political, economic and other factors bearing on securities prices and
the Corporation's financial condition and future prospects; and

                  (iv) the social, legal and economic effects upon employees,
suppliers, customers, creditors and others having similar relationships with the
Corporation, upon the communities in which the Corporation conducts its business
and upon the economy of the state, region and nation.

In connection with any such evaluation, the Board of Directors is authorized to
conduct such investigations and engage in such legal proceedings as the Board of
Directors may determine.

         TENTH. The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any
provision contained in this Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware and
all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation;
