                           THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
                          CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
                                       OF
                              ECLIPSYS CORPORATION

        Eclipsys Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under and by
virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
"Corporation"), does hereby certify as follows:

        1.     The Corporation, originally known as Integrated Healthcare
Solutions, Inc., filed its original Certificate of Incorporation with the
Secretary of the State of Delaware on December 22, 1995, which was amended and
restated by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed on
January 24, 1997 (pursuant to which the Corporation's name was changed to
"Eclipsys Corporation") and the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation filed on February 3, 1998 and was further amended by a Certificate
of Amendment filed on June 8, 1998 and a Second Certificate of Amendment filed
on June 8, 1998.

        2.     At a duly called meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation at which a quorum was present at all times, a resolution was duly
adopted, pursuant to Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, setting forth a Third Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation and declaring said Third Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation advisable. The stockholders of the Corporation duly
approved said proposed Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
by written consent in accordance with Sections 228, 242 and 245 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and in accordance with the provisions

notice of such consent has been given to all stockholders who have not consented
in writing to said amendment and restatement. The resolution setting forth the
Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is as follows:

        THIRD.  The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or
promoted by the Corporation is as follows:

        To engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be
organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

<PAGE>   2

        FOURTH.  The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the
Corporation shall have authority to issue is 210,000,000 shares, consisting of
(i) 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Class A
Common Stock"), (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, $.01 par value
per share (the "Class B Common Stock" and, together with the Class A Common
Stock, the "Common Stock") and (iii) 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.01
par value per share ("Preferred Stock").

        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.  The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of
the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of
the holders of the Preferred Stock of any series as may be designated by the
Board of Directors upon any issuance of the Preferred Stock of any series.

                 2.    Voting.  Except as expressly provided by law, or unless
provided otherwise in this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, (a) all voting rights shall be vested in the holders of the Class
A Common Stock and (b) the holders of the Class B Common Stock shall not be
entitled or permitted to vote on any matters required or permitted to be voted
upon by the stockholders of the Corporation. At each meeting of stockholders of
the Corporation, each holder of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one
vote for each such share on each matter to come before the meeting, except as
otherwise provided in this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation or by law. There shall be no cumulative voting.

        The number of authorized shares of 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, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware.

<PAGE>   3

       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. With respect to payment of dividends, the Class A
Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock shall rank pari passu with each other.

       4.    Liquidation.  Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Common Stock will be
entitled to receive all assets of the Corporation available for distribution to
its stockholders, subject to any preferential rights of any then outstanding
Preferred Stock. With respect to the distribution of assets upon the dissolution
or liquidation of the Corporation, the Class A Common Stock and the Class B
Common Stock shall rank pari passu with each other.

       5.    Conversion.

                 (a)     Any holder of Class B Common Stock shall have the
right, at its option, at any time and from time to time, to convert, subject to
the terms and provisions of this paragraph 5, any or all of such holder's shares
of Class B Common Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A
Common Stock at the rate (subject to adjustment as provided below) of one share
of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock surrendered for
conversion; provided, however, that if the holder in any such conversion is
subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (12 U.S.C. Section
1841, et seq.) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively and
including any successor provisions, the "BHCA Act"), such conversion may be made
only if (i) the BHCA Act would not prohibit such holder from holding such shares
of Class A Common Stock and (ii) such shares of Class A Common Stock to be
received upon such conversion will be distributed or sold (v) in connection with
any public equity offering registered under the Securities Act, (w) in a
"broker's transaction" (as defined in Rule 144(g) under the Securities Act)
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar rule then in
effect, (x) to a Person or group (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) of
Persons if, after such distribution or sale, such Person or group of Persons
would not, in the aggregate, own, control or have the right to acquire more than
2% of the outstanding securities of the Corporation entitled to vote on the
election of directors of the Corporation, (y) to a Person or group (within the
meaning of the Exchange Act) of Persons if, prior to or concurrently with such
sale, such persons or group of Persons had control of the Corporation or (z) in
any other manner permitted under the BHCA Act; and provided further, that if the
holder converts any shares of the Class B Common Stock as provided in clauses
(i) and (ii) above and any distribution or sale of the Class A Common Stock
fails to occur for any reason, such holder may convert the Class A Common Stock
into the Class B Common Stock converted in anticipation of such distribution or
sale.

                 (b)     Such conversion right shall be exercised by the
surrender to the Corporation of the shares of the applicable Common Stock to be
converted in the manner provided above at any time during usual business hours
at its principal place of business, accompanied by written notice that the
holder elects to convert such shares of Common Stock and specifying the name or
names (with address) in which a certificate or certificates for shares of such
Common Stock are to be issued and (if so required by the Corporation) by a
written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to
the Corporation duly

<PAGE>   4

executed by the holder or its duly authorized legal representative and transfer
tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant to paragraph 5(d). Such
written notice shall also include the representation and warranty of the
converting holder to the Corporation, on which the Corporation shall be entitled
to conclusively rely, to the effect either (i) that such holder is not subject
to the BHCA Act with respect to such conversion or (ii) that such conversion
will be made in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding paragraph
5(a). As promptly as practicable after the surrender, as herein provided, of any
shares of Common Stock for conversion pursuant to paragraph 5(a), the
Corporation shall deliver to or upon the written order of the holder of such
shares of Common Stock so surrendered a certificate or certificates representing
the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Common Stock into
which such shares of Common Stock may be or have been converted in accordance
with the provisions of this paragraph 5. Such conversion shall be deemed to have
been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date that such
shares of Common Stock shall have been surrendered in satisfactory form for
conversion, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon conversion of such shares of Common Stock shall be
treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such
shares of Common Stock at such appropriate time.

                (c)    So long as shares of each of the Class A Common Stock
and the Class B Common Stock are outstanding or authorized or reserved for
issuance, the Corporation shall not effect any stock split, stock dividend,
reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or consolidation of the Class
A Common Stock or the Class B Common Stock, unless the Corporation shall also
contemporaneously effect a stock split, stock dividend, reclassification,
reorganization or consolidation on the same terms with respect to the other
class of Common Stock. The Corporation will not, by amendment of this Third
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, share exchange, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Corporation, including, without limitation, the adjustments
required under this paragraph 5, and will at all times in good faith assist in
the carrying out of all the provisions of this paragraph 5 and in the taking of
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
conversion rights of the holders of Common Stock against dilution or other
impairment.

                (d)    The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other
taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of
Common Stock on conversion of shares of the Class A Common Stock or the Class B
Common Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not
be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by
any holders in connection with any such conversion.

                (e)    The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock, free of preemptive rights, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the shares of Common Stock, such number of its
shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as shall from time to
time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of each
class into the other class; and if at any time the number of authorized but
unissued shares of each class shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all then outstanding shares of the other class,

<PAGE>   5

the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its
counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A
Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation,
engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any
necessary amendment to this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation.

                (f)     In case of any recapitalization, reorganization or
reclassification of the Capital Stock of the Corporation, any merger or
consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, any acquisition of
shares of the Capital Stock of the Corporation in a share exchange, or the sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, each share of
Class B Common Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares
of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which a holder of
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such
share of Class B Common Stock would have been entitled upon the record date of
(or date of, if no record date is fixed) such recapitalization, reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale, lease or other
disposition and, in any case, appropriate adjustment (as determined by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the
provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests thereafter
of the holders of such Class B Common Stock to the end that the provisions set
forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as equivalent as is
practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or the securities or property
(including cash) thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the shares of
Class B Common Stock.

            6.    Definitions.

        As used in paragraph 5 above, the following terms shall have the
following meanings (with terms defined in the singular having comparable
meanings when used in the plural and vice versa), unless the context otherwise
requires:

            "Capital Stock" means, with respect to any Person, any and all
shares, interests, participation, rights in, or other equivalents (however
designated and whether voting or non-voting) of, such Person's capital stock and
any and all rights, warrants or options exchangeable for or convertible into
such capital stock (but excluding any debt security that is exchangeable for or
convertible into such capital stock).

            "Commission" means the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
similar agency then having jurisdiction to enforce the Securities Act.

            "Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

            "Person" means any individual, firm, corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association,
joint venture, joint stock company, governmental body or other entity of any
kind.

<PAGE>   6

               "Securities Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

        B.     PREFERRED STOCK.

        Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series,
each of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the
resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation as hereinafter provided. Any shares of
Preferred Stock which may be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Corporation
may be reissued except as otherwise provided by law. Different series of
Preferred Stock shall not be construed to constitute different classes of shares
for the purposes of voting by classes unless expressly provided.

        Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors from
time to time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in
connection with the creation of any such series, by resolution or resolutions
providing for the issue of the shares thereof, to determine and fix such voting
powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences
and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without
limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges
and liquidation preferences, as shall be stated and expressed in such
resolutions, all to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the General
Corporation Law of Delaware. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the resolutions providing for the issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may
provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to the
Preferred Stock of any other series to the extent permitted by law. Except as
otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, no vote of the holders
of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the
designation or issuance of any shares of any series of the Preferred Stock
authorized by and complying with the conditions of this Certificate of
Incorporation, the right to have such vote being expressly waived by all present
and future holders of the capital stock of the Corporation.

        FIFTH. The Corporation shall have a perpetual existence.

        SIXTH. In furtherance of and not in limitation of powers conferred by
statute, it is further provided:

                1.      Election of directors need not be by written ballot.

                2.      The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt,
amend or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation.

        SEVENTH. 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

<PAGE>   7

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 a 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.

        EIGHTH. Except to the extent that the General Corporation Law of
Delaware prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for
breaches of fiduciary duty, no director of the Corporation shall be personally
liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law
imposing such liability. No amendment to or repeal of this provision shall apply
to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of
the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director
occurring prior to such amendment. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law,
the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of
the Corporation, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be
specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five
percent (75%) of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote shall be required to amend or repeal, or to
adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article EIGHTH.

        NINTH.

                   1. Actions, Suits and Proceedings Other than by or in the
Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify each person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), by
reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or
officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the
request of the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a
similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being
referred to hereafter as an "Indemnitee"), or by reason of any action alleged to
have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit
or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article,

<PAGE>   8

except as set forth in Section 7 below, the Corporation shall not indemnify an
Indemnitee seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Article, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee to
the extent such Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in
the event the Corporation makes any indemnification payments to an Indemnitee
and such Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance,
such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to the
Corporation to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.

               2. Actions or Suits by or in the Right of the Corporation. The
Corporation shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or
officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the
request of the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a
similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of any
action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all
expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, to the extent permitted by law,
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his
behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal
therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but
in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses (including attorneys' fees)
which the Court of Chancery of Delaware shall deem proper.

             3. Indemnification for Expenses of Successful Party.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article, to the extent that an
Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article, or
in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such
action, suit or proceeding, he shall be indemnified against all expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his
behalf in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, if any action,
suit or proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a
disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to the
Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that the Indemnitee was liable to the
Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the Indemnitee, (iv)
an adjudication that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication
that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful,
the Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly
successful with respect thereto.

                 4. Notification and Defense of Claim. As a condition precedent
to his right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee must notify the Corporation in
writing as soon as practicable

<PAGE>   9

of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving him for which
indemnity will or could be sought. With respect to any action, suit, proceeding
or investigation of which the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation will
be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the
defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to
the Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to the Indemnitee of its
election so to assume such defense, the Corporation shall not be liable to the
Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection with such claim, other than as provided below in this
Section 4. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel in
connection with such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred
after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall
be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the
Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to the
Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of
interest or position on any significant issue between the Corporation and the
Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action or (iii) the Corporation
shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in
each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be
at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by
this Article. The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of the
Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the
Corporation or as to which counsel for the Indemnitee shall have reasonably made
the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above.

               5.     Advance of Expenses.  Subject to the provisions of Section
6 below, in the event that the Corporation does not assume the defense pursuant
to Section 4 of this Article of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of
which the Corporation receives notice under this Article, any expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall
be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter;
provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by an Indemnitee
in advance of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts
so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that the
Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in
this Article. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the
financial ability of the Indemnitee to make such repayment.

               6.     Procedure for Indemnification.  In order to obtain
indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 1, 2, 3 or 5 of
this Article, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request,
including in such request such documentation and information as is reasonably
available to the Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and
to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of
expenses. Any such indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be made
promptly, and in any event within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of
the written request of the Indemnitee, unless with respect to requests under
Section 1, 2 or 5 the Corporation determines within such 60-day period that the
Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section
1 or 2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made in each instance by
(a) a majority vote of the directors of the Corporation consisting of persons
who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question
("disinterested directors"),

<PAGE>   10

whether or not a quorum, (b) a majority vote of a committee of disinterested
directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not
a quorum, (c) a majority vote of a quorum of the outstanding shares of stock of
all classes entitled to vote for directors, voting as a single class, which
quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not at that time parties to the
action, suit or proceeding in question, (d) independent legal counsel (who may,
to the extent permitted by law, be regular legal counsel to the Corporation), or
(e) a court of competent jurisdiction.

               7.     Remedies.  The right to indemnification or advances as
granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of
competent jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in
part, or if no disposition thereof is made within the 60-day period referred to
above in Section 6. Unless otherwise required by law, the burden of proving that
the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses
under this Article shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the
Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the
Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6 that the Indemnitee has
not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or
create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of
conduct. The Indemnitee's expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in
connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole
or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

               8.     Subsequent Amendment.  No amendment, termination or repeal
of this Article or of the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware or any other applicable laws shall affect or diminish in any way the
rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with
respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or
relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final
adoption of such amendment, termination or repeal.

               9.     Other Rights.  The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which an Indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses
may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement or vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding office
for the Corporation, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be
a director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs,
executors and administrators of the Indemnitee. Nothing contained in this
Article shall be deemed to prohibit, and the Corporation is specifically
authorized to enter into, agreements with officers and directors providing
indemnification rights and procedures different from those set forth in this
Article. In addition, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to
time by its Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to other employees
or agents of the Corporation or other persons serving the Corporation and such
rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those set forth in this
Article.

              10.    Partial Indemnification.  If an Indemnitee is entitled
under any provision of this Article to indemnification by the Corporation for
some or a portion of the expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
or amounts paid in settlement actually and

<PAGE>   11

reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with any action, suit,
proceeding or investigation and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the
total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the
Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which the Indemnitee is
entitled.

               11.    Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) against any
expense, liability or loss incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out
of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to
indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General
Corporation Law of Delaware.

               12.    Merger or Consolidation.  If the Corporation is merged
into or consolidated with another corporation and the Corporation is not the
surviving corporation, the surviving corporation shall assume the obligations of
the Corporation under this Article with respect to any action, suit, proceeding
or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or
facts occurring prior to the date of such merger or consolidation.

               13.    Savings Clause.  If this Article or any portion hereof
shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then
the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to any expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil,
criminal or administrative, including an action by or in the right of the
Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this
Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law.

               14.    Definitions.  Terms used herein and defined in Section
145(h) and Section 145(i) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall have
the respective meanings assigned to such terms in such Section 145(h) and
Section 145(i).

               15.    Subsequent Legislation.  If the General Corporation Law of
Delaware is amended after adoption of this Article to expand further the
indemnification permitted to Indemnitees, then the Corporation shall indemnify
such persons to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of
Delaware, as so amended.

               16.    Amendments to Article.  Notwithstanding any other
provisions of law, this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
or the By-Laws of the Corporation, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser
percentage may be specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares of capital stock of the
Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote shall be required to
amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article
NINTH.

        TENTH.  The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or
repeal any provision contained in this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, in the

<PAGE>   12

manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute and this Third Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and all rights conferred upon
stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

        ELEVENTH.  This Article is inserted for the management of the business
and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation.

               1.     Number of Directors.  The number of directors of the
Corporation shall not be less than three. The exact number of directors within
the limitations specified in the preceding sentence shall be fixed from time to
time by, or in the manner provided in, the Corporation's By-Laws.

               2.     Classes of Directors.  The Board of Directors shall be and
is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. No one class
shall have more than one director more than any other class. If a fraction is
contained in the quotient arrived at by dividing the designated number of
directors by three, then, if such fraction is one-third, the extra director
shall be a member of Class I, and if such fraction is two-thirds, one of the
extra directors shall be a member of Class I and one of the extra directors
shall be a member of Class II, unless otherwise provided from time to time by
resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The initial members of each class
immediately following the filing of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation shall be determined by resolution adopted by the Board of
Directors.

               3.     Election of Directors.  Elections of directors need not be
by written ballot except as and to the extent provided in the By-Laws of the
Corporation.

               4.     Terms of Office.  Each director shall serve for a term
ending on the date of the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at
which such director was elected; provided, that each initial director in Class I
shall serve for a term ending on the date of the annual meeting in 1999; each
initial director in Class II shall serve for a term ending on the date of the
annual meeting in 2000; and each initial director in Class III shall serve for a
term ending on the date of the annual meeting in the year 2001; and provided
further, that the term of each director shall be subject to the election and
qualification of his successor and to his earlier death, resignation or removal.

               5.     Allocation of Directors Among Classes in the Event of
Increases or Decreases in the Number of Directors. In the event of any increase
or decrease in the authorized number of directors, (i) each director then
serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which
he is a member and (ii) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting
from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board of Directors
among the three classes of directors so as to ensure that no one class has more
than one director more than any other class. To the extent possible, consistent
with the foregoing rule, any newly created directorships shall be added to those
classes whose terms of office are to expire at the latest dates following such
allocation, and any newly eliminated directorships shall be subtracted from
those classes whose terms of offices are to expire at the earliest dates
following such allocation, unless otherwise provided from time to time by
resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

<PAGE>   13

               6.     Quorum; Action at Meeting.  A majority of the directors at
any time in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In
the event one or more of the directors shall be disqualified to vote at any
meeting, then the required quorum shall be reduced by one for each director so
disqualified, provided that in no case shall less than one-third of the number
of directors fixed pursuant to Section 1 above constitute a quorum. If at any
meeting of the Board of Directors there shall be less than such a quorum, a
majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time. Every act
or decision done or made by a majority of the directors present at a meeting
duly held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board
of Directors unless a greater number is required by law, by the ByLaws of the
Corporation or by this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

               7.     Removal.  Directors of the Corporation may be removed only
for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five
percent (75%) of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote.

               8.     Vacancies.  Any vacancy in the Board of Directors, however
occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of the board, shall
be filled only by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although
less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A director elected to fill
a vacancy shall be elected to hold office until the next election of the class
for which such director shall have been chosen, subject to the election and
qualification of his successor and to his earlier death, resignation or removal.

               9.     Stockholder Nominations and Introduction of Business, Etc.
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 by the By-Laws of the Corporation.

               10.    Amendments to Article.  Notwithstanding any other
provisions of law, this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
or the By-Laws of the Corporation, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser
percentage may be specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares of capital stock of the
Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote shall be required to
amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article
ELEVENTH.

        TWELFTH.  Stockholders of the Corporation may not take any action by
written consent in lieu of a meeting. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws
of the Corporation, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be
specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five
percent (75%) of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote shall be required to amend or repeal, or to
adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article TWELFTH.

        THIRTEENTH.  Special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time
by only the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or the Board of
Directors. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be
limited to matters relating to the purpose or

<PAGE>   14

purposes stated in the notice of meeting. Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws
of the Corporation, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be
specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five
percent (75%) of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote shall be required to amend or repeal, or to
adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article THIRTEENTH.


        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused its corporate seal to be
affixed hereto and this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
to be signed by its President this 12th day of August, 1998.

                           CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS

                                       OF

                  SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK

                                       OF

                              ECLIPSYS CORPORATION

                         ------------------------------



        Eclipsys Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the
laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), hereby
certifies that the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation at a meeting duly called and held on July 26, 2000:

        RESOLVED: That pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (hereinafter called the "Board") in
accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
the Board hereby creates a series of Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share
(the "Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation and hereby states the designation
and number of shares, and fixes the relative rights, preferences and limitations
thereof as follows:

        Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock:

        Section 1.    Designation and Amount.  The shares of such series shall
be designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Series A
Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred
Stock shall be ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND (100,000). Such number of shares may be
increased or decreased by resolution of the Board prior to issuance; provided,
that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of
shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or
warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the
Corporation convertible into Series A Preferred Stock.

        Section 2.    Dividends and Distributions.

                      (A)    Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares
of any series of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking prior and
superior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of the
common stock, par value $.01 per share and the non-voting common stock, $.01 par
value per share (collectively, the "Common Stock"), of the Corporation, and of
any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared
by the Board out of funds of the

<PAGE>   16

Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, quarterly dividends
payable in cash on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Corporation in
each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after
the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred
Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater
of (a) $10 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth,
1,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 1,000
times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends
or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock
or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification
or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of
Series A Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare
or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or
effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in
shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b)
of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such
event. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any
dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock payable in shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by
payment of a dividend in shares of Series A Preferred Stock) into a greater or
lesser number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then in each such case the
amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled
immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the first sentence of this
Section 2(A) shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after such
event.

                      (B)    The Corporation shall declare a dividend or
distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of
this Section immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the
Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock) and the
Corporation shall pay such dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred
Stock before the dividend or distribution declared on the Common Stock is paid
or set apart; provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have
been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a
dividend of $10 per share on the Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be
payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

                      (C)    Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative
on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date next preceding the

<PAGE>   17

date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior
to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case
dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such
shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a
date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall
begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.
Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of
such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated
pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time
outstanding. The Board may fix a record date for the determination of holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or
distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

        Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall have the following voting rights:

                      (A)    Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter
set forth, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder
thereof to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of
the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay
any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a
subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares
of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then
in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be
adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and
the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event. In the event the Corporation shall
at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock payable
in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Series
A Preferred Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to
such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after such
event.

                      (B)    Except as otherwise provided herein, in the
Certificate of Incorporation or by law, the holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital
stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one
class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

<PAGE>   18

                      (C)    (i)    If at any time dividends on any Series A
Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to six quarterly
dividends thereon, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a
separate series from all other series of Preferred Stock and classes of capital
stock, shall be entitled to elect two members of the Board in addition to any
Directors elected by any other series, class or classes of securities and the
authorized number of Directors will automatically be increased by two. Promptly
thereafter, the Board of the Corporation shall, as soon as may be practicable,
call a special meeting of holders of Series A Preferred Stock for the purpose of
electing such members of the Board. Such special meeting shall in any event be
held within 45 days of the occurrence of such arrearage.

                             (ii)   During any period when the holders of Series
A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate series, shall be entitled and shall have
exercised their right to elect two Directors, then, and during such time as such
right continues, (a) the then authorized number of Directors shall be increased
by two, and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate
series, shall be entitled to elect the additional Directors so provided for, and
(b) each such additional Director shall not be a member of any existing class of
the Board, but shall serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders for the
election of Directors, or until his successor shall be elected and shall
qualify, or until his right to hold such office terminates pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 3(C).

                             (iii)  A Director elected pursuant to the terms
hereof may be removed with or without cause by the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock entitled to vote in an election of such Director.

                             (iv)   If, during any interval between annual
meetings of stockholders for the election of Directors and while the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect two Directors, there is no
such Director in office by reason of resignation, death or removal, then,
promptly thereafter, the Board shall call a special meeting of the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock for the purpose of filling such vacancy and such
vacancy shall be filled at such special meeting. Such special meeting shall in
any event be held within 45 days of the occurrence of such vacancy.

                             (v)    At such time as the arrearage is fully
cured, and all dividends accumulated and unpaid on any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock outstanding are paid, and, in addition thereto, at least one
regular dividend has been paid subsequent to curing such arrearage, the term of
office of any Director elected pursuant to this Section 3(C), or his successor,
shall automatically terminate, and the authorized number of Directors shall
automatically decrease by two, the rights of the holders of the shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock to vote as provided in this Section 3(C) shall cease,
subject to renewal from time to time upon the same terms and conditions, and the
holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have only the limited
voting rights elsewhere herein set forth.

                      (D)    Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise
provided by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special
voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they
are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for
taking any corporate action.

<PAGE>   19

        Section 4.    Certain Restrictions.

                      (A)    Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or
distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2
are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and
distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock
outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

                             (i)    declare or pay dividends, or make any other
distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock;

                             (ii)   declare or pay dividends, or make any other
distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A
Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock
and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in
proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then
entitled;

                             (iii)  redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for
consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock,
provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise
acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of
the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution,
liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; or

                             (iv)   redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for
consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock
ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance with
a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board)
to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board, after consideration
of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and
preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith
will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or
classes.

                      (B)    The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of
the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of
stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of
this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in
such manner.

        Section 5.  Reacquired Shares.  Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock
purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever
shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such
shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of
Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock
subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the
Certificate of Incorporation, or in any other Certificate of Designations
creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise
required by law.

        Section 6.    Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

                      (A)    Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (1) to the holders of shares of
stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received $1,000 per share, plus
an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon,
whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, provided that the holders
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an aggregate
amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth,
equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders
of shares of Common Stock, or (2) to the holders of shares of stock ranking on a
parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up)
with the Series A Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the
Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock in proportion to the total
amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

                      (B)    Neither the consolidation, merger or other business
combination of the Corporation with or into any other corporation nor the sale,
lease, exchange or conveyance of all or any part of the property, assets or
business of the Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation for purposes of this Section 6.

                      (C)    In the event the Corporation shall at any time
declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common
Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a
dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of
Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event
under the proviso in clause (1) of paragraph (A) of this Section 6 shall be
adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and
the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event. In the event the Corporation shall
at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock payable
in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Series
A Preferred Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event
under the proviso in clause (1) of paragraph (A) of this Section 6 shall be
adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were outstanding immediately
prior to such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after such event.

        Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in case the Corporation shall enter into any
consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of
Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into

<PAGE>   21

other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case
each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly
exchanged or changed into an amount per share, subject to the provision for
adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount of
stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case
may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or
exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any
dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a
subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares
of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then
in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to
the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted
by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event. In the event the Corporation shall
at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock payable
in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Series
A Preferred Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in the first
sentence of this Section 7 with respect to the exchange or change of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator
of which is the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding
immediately after such event.

        Section 8.    No Redemption.  The shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall not be redeemable.

        Section 9.    Rank.  The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank, with
respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, junior to
all series of any other class of the Preferred Stock issued either before or
after the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, unless the terms of any such
series shall provide otherwise.

        Section 10.   Amendment.  At such time as any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially
alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A
Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class.

        Section 11.   Fractional Shares.  Series A Preferred Stock may be issued
in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such
holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends,
participate in distributions and have the benefit of all other rights of holders
of Series A Preferred Stock.
