         The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more
series. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to provide for the issuance
of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and, by filing a certificate
pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (hereinafter referred to

shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers,
preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications,
limitations and restrictions thereof. The authority of the Board of Directors
with respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to, determination
of the following:

                  (a) The designation of the series, which may be by
distinguishing number, letter or title.

                  (b) The number of shares of the series, which number the Board
of Directors may thereafter (except where otherwise provided in the Preferred
Stock Designation) increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares
thereof then outstanding).

                  (c) The amounts payable on, and the preferences, if any, of
shares of the series in respect of dividends, and whether such dividends, if
any, shall be cumulative or noncumulative.

                  (d) Dates at which dividends, if any, shall be payable.

shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,

price or prices or rate or rates, any adjustments thereof, the date or dates at

                                      -2-

                  (j) The voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the
series.

         The Common Stock shall be subject to the express terms of the Preferred
Stock and any series thereof. Except as may otherwise be provided in this
restated certificate of incorporation, in a Preferred Stock Designation or by
applicable law, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one
vote for each such share upon all questions presented to the stockholders, the
Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of
directors and for all other purposes, and holders of Preferred Stock shall not
be entitled to vote at or receive notice of any meeting of stockholders.

         Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock
pursuant to the terms of this restated certificate of incorporation or any
resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series of stock
adopted by the Board of Directors, the number of authorized shares of Preferred
Stock or Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of
shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

         FIFTH: The authorized number of members of the Board of Directors will
         -----
be fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the entire Board of Directors but in no event may the number be less
than three.

         The Directors shall be divided into three classes, each consisting of
one-third of such directors, as nearly as may be, designated Class I, Class II
and Class III. Class I directors shall initially serve until the 2000 meeting of
stockholders; Class II directors shall initially serve until the 2001 meeting of
stockholders; and Class III directors shall initially serve until the 2002
meeting of stockholders. Commencing with the stockholders' meeting in 2000, and
at each succeeding annual stockholders' meeting, successors to the class of
directors whose term expires at such annual stockholders' meeting shall be
elected for a three-year term. If the number of such directors is changed, an
increase or decrease in such directors shall be apportioned among the classes so
as to maintain the number of directors comprising each class as nearly equal as
possible, and any additional directors of any class shall hold office for a term
which shall coincide with the remaining term of such class. A director shall
hold office until the annual stockholders' meeting for the year in which his
term expires and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify,
subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or
removal from office.

         Except as otherwise required by law, any vacancy on the board of
directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any other
vacancy occurring in the board of directors shall only be filled by a majority
of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole
remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an
increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that
of his or her predecessor. A director may be removed only for cause by the
stockholders.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more
series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting
separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special
meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and
other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this
restated certificate of incorporation applicable thereto and such directors so
elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article Fifth, in
each case unless expressly provided by such terms. During any period when the
holders of any series of Preferred Stock have the right to elect additional
directors as provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article Fourth
hereof, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which
such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of
directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such specified
number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said
provisions, and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until such
director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such
director's right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions,
whichever occurs earlier, subject to his earlier death, disqualification,
resignation or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors
in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders
of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors
are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms
of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such stock,
or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation,
disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith
terminate and the total and authorized number of directors of the Corporation
shall be reduced accordingly.

         SIXTH: Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State
         -----
of Delaware as the By-laws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept
(subject to any provision contained in the statutes) outside the State of
Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the
Board of Directors or in the By-laws of the Corporation. The election of
directors need not be by written ballot unless the By-laws so provide.

         SEVENTH:  The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized and
         -------
empowered from time to time in its discretion to make, alter, amend or repeal
By-laws of the Corporation.

         EIGHTH: A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the
         ------
Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or
limitation thereof is not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any
amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely
affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder in
respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment,
modification or repeal.

         NINTH:
         -----

         1. Right to Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify and hold
harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently
exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an "Covered Person") who was or
is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a
person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or
officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation,
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee, manager or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, limited
liability company, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity,
including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability
and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred
by such Covered Person. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as
otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Article Ninth, the Corporation shall be
required to indemnify an Covered Person in connection with a Proceeding (or part
thereof) commenced by such Covered Person only if the commencement of such
Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Covered Person was authorized by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, the Corporation shall not be required to advance expenses to an
Covered Person who is a party to an action, suit or proceeding brought by the
Corporation and approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation which alleges willful misappropriation of corporate assets by such
Covered Person, disclosure of confidential information in violation of such
Covered Person's fiduciary or contractual obligations to the Corporation or any
other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of such Covered Person's duty
to the Corporation or its stockholders.

         2. Prepayment of Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1 of
this Article Ninth, the Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred by an Covered Person in defending any Proceeding in advance of
its final disposition, provided, however, that to the extent required by law,
                       --------  -------
such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding
shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay
all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Covered
Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article Ninth or otherwise.

         3. Claims. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses
under this Article Ninth is not paid in full within sixty days after a written
claim therefor by the Covered Person has been received by the Corporation, the
Covered Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if
successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of
prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden
of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested
indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

         4. Nonexclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any Covered Person
by this Article Ninth shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such
Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of
this restated certificate of incorporation, the Corporation's by-laws or any
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

         5. Other Sources. The Corporation's obligation, if any, to indemnify or
to advance expenses to any Covered Person who was or is serving at its request
as a director, officer, employee, manager or agent of another corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, enterprise or
nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount such Covered Person may collect
as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, enterprise or
non-profit enterprise.

         6. Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing
provisions of this Article Ninth shall not adversely affect any right or
protection hereunder of any Covered Person in respect of any act or omission
occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

         7. Other Indemnification and Prepayment of Expenses. This Article Ninth
shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner
permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than
Covered Persons when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.

         TENTH: No action required to be taken or which may be taken at any
         -----
annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken
without a meeting; and the power of the stockholders to consent in writing,
without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.

         ELEVENTH: Except as otherwise required by law, the provisions of
         --------
Articles Fifth and Tenth and the provisions of this Article Eleventh may not be
amended in any respect unless such amendment is approved by the affirmative vote
of the holders of two thirds in voting power of the outstanding stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote generally.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ITXC Corp. has caused this certificate to be signed
by Edward B. Jordan, its Executive Vice President, on the 1ST day of October,
