                                    MVD, INC.


     I, the  undersigned,  for the purposes of  incorporating  and  organizing a
corporation  under the  General  Corporation  Law of the State of  Delaware,  do
execute this Certificate of Incorporation and hereby certify the following:

     FIRST. The name of this corporation is MVD, Inc.

     SECOND. The address of this corporation's registered office in the State of
Delaware is 1013 Centre Road, in the city of  Wilmington,  19805,  county of New
Castle. The name of the agent at that address is Corporation Service Company.

     THIRD.  The purpose of this  corporation  is to engage in any lawful act or
activity  for  which  corporations  may be  organized  pursuant  to the  General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

     FOURTH.  The total number of shares of stock which this  corporation  shall
have authority to issue is Fifty-Five  Million  (55,000,000) with a par value of
one mil ($.001) per share. Fifty Million (50,000,000) of those shares are Common
Stock and Five Million  (5,000,000)  of those shares are Preferred  Stock.  Each
share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote, in person or
by proxy, on any matter on which action of the  stockholders of this corporation
is sought.  The holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall have no right to vote
such  shares,  except  (i) as  determined  by the  Board  of  Directors  of this
corporation in accordance with the provisions of Section (3) of ARTICLE FIFTH of
this Certificate of Incorporation, or (ii) as otherwise provided by the Delaware
General  Corporation Law, as amended from time to time. The  stockholders  shall
not possess  cumulative voting rights. The holders of shares of capital stock of
the corporation  shall not be entitled to pre-emptive or preferential  rights to
subscribe to any unissued stock or any other  securities  which the  corporation
may now or hereafter be authorized to issue. The corporation's capital stock may
be issued and sold from time to time for such  consideration  as may be fixed by
the Board of  Directors,  provided that the  consideration  so fixed is not less
than par value.

     FIFTH. The Board of Directors of this corporation  shall be, and hereby is,
authorized  and  empowered,  subject to  limitations  prescribed  by law and the
provisions of Article FOURTH of this  Certificate of  Incorporation,  to provide
for the  issuance of the shares of  Preferred  Stock in series,  and by filing a
certificate  pursuant  to the  applicable  law  of the  State  of  Delaware,  to
establish  from time to time the  number of shares to be  included  in each such
series,  and to fix the  designations,  powers,  preferences  and  rights of


                                       1
<PAGE>

the  shares  of  each  such  series  and  the  qualifications,   limitations  or
restrictions  of each such series.  The authority of the Board of Directors with
respect to each series shall include,  but not be limited to,  determination  of
the following:

     (1) The number of shares that  constitute  such series and the  distinctive
designation of such series;

     (2) The dividend rate on the shares of such series, whether dividends shall
be cumulative,  and, if so, from which date or dates, and the relative rights of
priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of such series;

     (3) Whether such series shall have voting rights, in addition to the voting
rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights;

     (4) Whether such series shall have conversion  privileges,  and, if so, the
terms and  conditions of such  conversion  privileges,  including  provision for
adjustment  of the  conversion  rate,  in such events as the Board of  Directors
shall determine;

     (5) Whether or not the shares of such series shall be  redeemable,  and, if
so, the terms and  conditions  of such  redemption,  including  the date upon or
after which those shares shall be  redeemable,  and the amount per share payable
in the event of redemption, which amount may vary in different circumstances and
at different redemption dates;

     (6) Whether  that series shall have a sinking  fund for the  redemption  or
purchase  of shares of such  series,  and,  if so,  the terms and amount of such
fund;

     (7) The rights of the shares of such  series in the event of  voluntary  or
involuntary liquidation,  dissolution or winding up of this corporation, and the
relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of shares of such series;

     (8) Any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of such series.

     SIXTH.  Each director of this corporation shall not be personally liable to
this  corporation  or its  stockholders  for  monetary  damages  for  breach  of
fiduciary  duty as a director,  except for  liability (i) for any breach of such
director's  duty of loyalty to this  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 Delaware General
Corporation  Law, or (iv) for any transaction  from which such director  derived
any  improper  personal  benefit.   In  the  event  that  the  Delaware  General
Corporation Law is amended to authorize  corporate action further eliminating or
limiting the personal  liability  of  directors  of this  corporation,  then the
liability of each director of this corporation shall be eliminated or limited to
the  fullest  and  most  complete  extent  permitted


                                       2

by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

     Any repeal or  modification  of this  article by the  stockholders  of this
corporation  shall not adversely  affect any right or protection of any director
of this corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

     SEVENTH.  This corporation reserves the right at any time, and from time to
time,  to amend,  alter,  change  or  repeal  any  provision  specified  in this
Certificate of Incorporation, and other provisions authorized by the laws of the
State of  Delaware at any such time then in force may be added or  inserted,  in
the manner now or hereafter  prescribed by law; and all rights,  preferences and
privileges of whatsoever  nature conferred upon  stockholders,  directors or any
other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation in
its present  form or as  hereafter  amended  are  granted  subject to the rights
reserved in this article.

                              Boca Raton, Florida 33432

Directors of this corporation shall be not less than one (1) nor more than eight
(8) as fixed  from time to time by vote of a  majority  of the  entire  Board of
Directors of this corporation;  provided,  however, that the number of directors
shall not be reduced so as to shorten  the term of any  director at that time in
office.

     (b)   Notwithstanding   any  other   provisions  of  this   Certificate  of
Incorporation or the bylaws of this corporation  (and  notwithstanding  the fact
that some  lesser  percentage  may be  specified  by law,  this  Certificate  of
Incorporation  or the bylaws of this  corporation),  any  director or the entire
Board of Directors of this  Corporation may be removed at any time, but only for
cause and only by the affirmative  vote of the holders of  seventy-five  percent
(75%) or more of the  outstanding  shares of capital  stock of this  corporation
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors cast at a meeting of the
stockholders of this corporation  called for that purpose.  Notwithstanding  the

<PAGE>

otherwise  required  by law,  whenever  the holders of any one or more series of
Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one
or more directors of this corporation,  the provisions of this article shall not
apply with  respect to the  director  or  directors  elected by such  holders of
Preferred Stock.

     ELEVENTH. All of the powers of this corporation, insofar as the same may be
lawfully vested by this  Certificate of Incorporation in the Board of Directors,
are  hereby  conferred  upon the  Board of  Directors  of this  corporation.  In
furtherance  and not in limitation of that power,  the Board of Directors  shall

altered, amended or repealed by the stockholders of this corporation,  except by
the vote of the  holders  of not less than two thirds  (2/3) of the  outstanding
shares of stock entitled to vote upon the election of directors.
