                                  CAPITAL STOCK

         The total number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation shall
have authority to issue is sixty-five million (65,000,000) shares, of which (i)
sixty million (60,000,000) shares shall be a class designated as common stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), and (ii) five million (5,000,000)
shares shall be a class designated as undesignated preferred stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Undesignated Preferred Stock").

         The number of authorized shares of the class of Undesignated Preferred
Stock may from time to time be increased or decreased (but not below the number
of shares outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote, without a vote of the
holders of the Undesignated Preferred Stock (except as otherwise provided in any
certificate of designations of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock).

         The powers, preferences and rights of, and the qualifications,
limitations and restrictions upon, each class or series of stock shall be
determined in accordance with, or as set forth below in, this Article IV.

                                 A. COMMON STOCK

         Subject to all the rights, powers and preferences of the Undesignated
Preferred Stock and except as provided by law or in this Article IV (or in any
certificate of designations of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock):

               (a) the holders of the Common Stock shall have the exclusive
right to vote for the election of directors of the Corporation (the "Directors")
and on all other matters requiring stockholder action, each outstanding share
entitling the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to
the stockholders of the Corporation for their vote; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that,
except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not
be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate (or on any amendment to
a certificate of designations of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock)
that alters or changes the powers, preferences, rights or other terms of one or
more outstanding series of Undesignated Preferred Stock if the holders of such
affected series are entitled to vote, either separately or together as a class
with the holders of one or more other such series, on such amendment pursuant to
this Certificate (or pursuant to a certificate of designations of any series of
Undesignated Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL;

               (b) dividends may be declared and paid or set apart for payment
upon the Common Stock out of any assets or funds of the Corporation legally
available for the payment of dividends, but only when and as declared by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") or any
authorized committee thereof; and

                                       2
<PAGE>


               (c) upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, the net assets of the Corporation shall be
distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock.

                         B. UNDESIGNATED PREFERRED STOCK

         The Board of Directors or any authorized committee thereof is expressly
authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to provide for the issuance
of the shares of Undesignated Preferred Stock in one or more series of such
stock, and by filing a certificate pursuant to applicable law of the State of
Delaware, to establish or change from time to time the number of shares of each
such series, and to fix the designations, powers, including voting powers, full
or limited, or no voting powers, preferences and the relative, participating,
optional or other special rights of the shares of each series and any
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof.

                                    ARTICLE V

                               STOCKHOLDER ACTION

         1. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Except as otherwise provided herein, any
action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation
at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation must be
effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not
be taken or effected by a written consent of stockholders in lieu thereof.

         2. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Except as otherwise required by statute and
subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Undesignated
Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be
called only by the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution approved
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office. Only
those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered
or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                    DIRECTORS

         1. GENERAL. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be
managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors except as otherwise
provided herein or required by law.

         2. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. Election of Directors need not be by written
ballot unless the By-laws of the Corporation (the "By-laws") shall so provide.

                                       3

         3. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS; TERM OF OFFICE. The number of Directors of the
Corporation shall be fixed solely and exclusively by resolution duly adopted
from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Directors, other than those who
may be elected by the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock,
shall be classified, with respect to the term for which they severally hold
office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as reasonably possible.
The initial Class I Directors of the Corporation shall be A. Roland Thomas,
Charles D. Yie and Robert P. Schechter; the initial Class II Directors of the
Corporation shall be Julian H. Beale and Marc J. L. Dulude; and the initial
Class III Directors of the Corporation shall be Roger Brooks and Richard A.
Charpie. The initial Class I Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the
annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2000, the initial Class II
Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders
to be held in 2001, and the initial Class III Directors shall serve for a term
expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2002. At each
annual meeting of stockholders, Directors elected to succeed those Directors
whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third
succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Directors elected to each class shall hold office until their
successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or
removal.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever, pursuant to the provisions of
Article IV of this Certificate, the holders of any one or more series of
Undesignated Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a series
or together with holders of other such 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 Certificate and any certificate of designations applicable
thereto.

         4. VACANCIES. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any
series of Undesignated Preferred Stock to elect Directors and to fill vacancies
in the Board of Directors relating thereto, any and all vacancies in the Board
of Directors, however occurring, including, without limitation, by reason of an
increase in size of the Board of Directors, or the death, resignation,
disqualification or removal of a Director, shall be filled solely and
exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors
then in office, even if less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and not by
the stockholders. Any Director appointed in accordance with the preceding
sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of
Directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and
until such Director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or
until his or her earlier resignation or removal. Subject to the rights, if any,
of the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock to elect Directors,
when the number of Directors is increased or decreased, the Board of Directors
shall, subject to Article VI.3 hereof, determine the class or classes to which
the increased or decreased number of Directors shall be apportioned; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no decrease in the number of Directors shall shorten the term of
any incumbent Director. In the event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, the
remaining Directors, except as otherwise provided by law, shall exercise the
powers of the full Board of Directors until the vacancy is filled.

                                       4

         5. REMOVAL. Subject to the rights, if any, of any series of
Undesignated Preferred Stock to elect Directors and to remove any Director whom
the holders of any such stock have the right to elect, any Director (including
persons elected by Directors to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors) may be
removed from office (i) only with cause and (ii) only by the affirmative vote of
the holders of 75% or more of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of
Directors. At least forty-five (45) days prior to any meeting of stockholders at
which it is proposed that any Director be removed from office, written notice of
such proposed removal and the alleged grounds thereof shall be sent to the
Director whose removal will be considered at the meeting.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                             LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

         A Director 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 (a) for any breach of the Director's
duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (d) for any transaction
from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is
amended after the effective date of this Certificate to authorize corporate
action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of Directors, then
the liability of a Director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to
the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

         Any repeal or modification of this Article VII by either of (i) the
stockholders of the Corporation or (ii) an amendment to the DGCL, shall not
adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or
modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring before such repeal
or modification of a person serving as a Director at the time of such repeal or
modification.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                              AMENDMENT OF BY-LAWS

         1. AMENDMENT BY DIRECTORS. Except as otherwise provided by law, the
By-laws of the Corporation may be amended or repealed by the Board of Directors
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office.

         2. AMENDMENT BY STOCKHOLDERS. The By-laws of the Corporation may be
amended or repealed at any annual meeting of stockholders, or special meeting of
stockholders called for such purpose as provided in the By-laws, by the
affirmative vote of at least 75% of the shares present in person or represented
by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal,
voting together as a single class; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Board of

                                       5
<PAGE>

Directors recommends that stockholders approve such amendment or repeal at such
meeting of stockholders, such amendment or repeal shall only require the
affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or represented
by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal,
voting together as a single class.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                    AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

         The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal this Certificate
in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute and this Certificate, and
all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this
reservation. Whenever any vote of the holders of voting stock is required to
amend or repeal any provision of this Certificate, and in addition to any other
vote of holders of voting stock that is required by this Certificate or by law,
such amendment or repeal shall require the affirmative vote of the majority of
the outstanding shares entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal, and the
affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of each class
entitled to vote thereon as a class, at a duly constituted meeting of
stockholders called expressly for such purpose; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
affirmative vote of not less than 75% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote
on such amendment or repeal, and the affirmative vote of not less than 75% of
the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, shall
be required to amend or repeal any provision of Article V, Article VI, Article
VII or Article IX of this Certificate.
