be disqualified  by his office from dealing or contracting  with the Corporation
either as a vendor,  purchaser or otherwise  nor in the absence of fraud shall a
director  of the  Corporation  be liable to account to the  Corporation  for any
profit  realized  by him from or through  any  transaction  or  contract  of the
Corporation  by  reason of the fact that he, or any firm of which he is a member
or any  corporation  of which he is an  officer,  director or  stockholder,  was
interested in such  transaction or contract if such  transaction or contract has
been  authorized,  approved or  ratified  in the manner  provided in the General
Corporation  Law of Delaware  for  authorization,  approval or  ratification  of
transactions  or  contracts  between  the  Corporation  and  one or  more of its
directors or officers,  or between the  Corporation  and any other  corporation,
partnership,  association,  or other  organization  in which  one or more of its

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 ss.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 ss.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 Corporation  shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section
145 of the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law, as amended from time to time and
supplemented,  indemnify  any and  all  persons  whom it  shall  have  power  to
indemnify  under  said  section  from and  against  any and all of the  expense,
liabilities,  or other matters  referred to in or covered by said sections,  and
the  indemnification  provided for herein  shall not be deemed  exclusive of any
other  rights to which  those  indemnified  may be  entitled  under any  By-Law,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as
to action in his or her  official  capacity  and as to acts in another  capacity
while holding such office,  and shall  continue as to a person who has ceased to
be a director,  officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

      TENTH: The directors 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 General  Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware,  or (iv) for any transaction  from which the director derived
any improper  personal  benefit.  Any repeal or  modification  of the  foregoing
sentence 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.

      ELEVENTH:  The Corporation  reserves the right to amend,  alter, change or
repeal any provision  contained in this  Certificate  of  Incorporation,  in the
manner now or hereafter  prescribed by statute,  and all rights  conferred  upon
