sometimes  hereinafter  collectively  referred to as "Operator"), to Black Stone
Minerals  Company,  L.P.,  a Delaware limited or its permitted designees ("Black
Stone"),  is  delivered  to be effective as of 7:00 a.m., Eastern Time, April 1,
2005  (the  "Effective  Time").

     Operator  and Black Stone contemporaneously herewith have entered into each
of  the  following  conveyances  dated  effective as of January 1, 2005 (i) Term
Royalty  Conveyance  (West  Virginia)  ("West  Virginia  Conveyance"), (ii) Term
Royalty  Conveyance  (Pennsylvania)  ("Pennsylvania  Conveyance"),  (iii)  Term
Royalty  Conveyance (Kentucky) ("Kentucky Conveyance" and together with the West
Virginia  Conveyance  and  the  Pennsylvania  Conveyance  collectively the "Term
Royalty  Conveyance"), and the Term Royalty Agreement dated May 17, 2005 between
Operator and Black Stone (the "Term Royalty Agreement").  In connection with the
Term  Royalty  Conveyance,  Operator has agreed to undertake certain obligations
during  the  term  of  the  Term  Royalty Conveyance with respect to the Subject
Interests and the Development Wells to be drilled on AMI Areas designated in the
Term  Royalty  Conveyance.

                                    ARTICLE I

                                   DEFINITIONS

     All  capitalized  words,  terms,  and  the phrases used in this Development
Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Term  Royalty  Agreement and Term Royalty Conveyance.  Certain other capitalized
words,  terms,  and  phrases  used  in  this  Development  Agreement are defined
elsewhere  in  this  Development  Agreement.

     "Adjusted  Completed  Well  Development  Well Value" means, with respect to
each  Completed  Development  Well,  the  value obtained by multiplying for each
Completed  Development  Well  drilled or caused to be drilled by Operator during
any  Annual  Period  one  (1)  times  the  Working Interest (stated as a decimal
fraction  or  1.00, where Operator holds a 100% Working Interest), that Operator
is  required  to  bear  in  such  Completed  Development  Well.  For

<PAGE>
example,  if  Operator  holds an eighty-five percent (85%) Working Interest in a
Completed  Development  Well,  the  computation  would  be:

                                  1 x .85 = .85

therefore,  such  Completed Development Well would have a .85 Adjusted Completed
Development  Well  Value.

     "Annual  Drilling  Target" means that number of Completed Development Wells
where  (a)  the  cumulative total of all the Adjusted Completed Development Well
Values for all Completed Development Wells drilled by or caused to be drilled by
Operator during the first Annual Period equals not less than sixty (60), (b) the
cumulative  total  of all the Adjusted Completed Development Well Values for all
Completed  Development  Wells drilled during the first two Annual Periods equals
not  less than One Hundred Twenty (120), and (c) the cumulative total of all the
Adjusted  Completed  Development Well Values for all Completed Development Wells
drilled  during  the  first  three Annual Periods equals not less than the Total
Drilling  Commitment.

     SECTION  2.01     DRILLING  PROGRAM.

     (a)     OBLIGATION  TO  DRILL.  In  each  of the first three Annual Periods
during  the  Development Agreement Term, Operator shall, subject to the terms of
this  Article  II,  drill,  or cause to be drilled, at Operator's sole cost, (i)
such  number  of  Completed  Development  Wells that is necessary to achieve the
Annual Drilling Target and (ii) such number of Completed Development Wells as to
achieve  the  Total  Drilling  Commitment  prior  to  the  Drilling  Obligation
Completion  Date; it being understood that so long as Operator is performing its
obligations  hereunder  in  good  faith  and with due diligence the drilling and
testing  operations may extend beyond the last day of an Annual Period for which
such Completed Development Well is being included to meet Operator's obligations
under  this  Section  2.01(a),  and provided further that Operator shall have an
additional ninety (90) day period at the end of each Annual Period  and that the
Drilling  Obligation Completion Date to perform its obligations pursuant to this
Section 2.01(a).  Operator further agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
to  drill  seventy  (70)  Completed  Development  Wells  during the first Annual
Period,  sixty (60) Completed Development Wells during the second Annual Period,
and  fifty  (50)  Completed  Development  Wells  during the third Annual Period.

     (b)     MEANING  OF "DRILL."  For purposes of this Section 2.01, to "drill"
means  to  commence the actual drilling of a Development Well, and thereafter to
drill that Development Well diligently to the target depth (or target depths, in

producing Gas horizons and then to test that Development Well for the production
of  Gas.

     (c)     ADDITIONAL  DEVELOPMENT WELLS.  Any number of Completed Development
Wells  drilled  which result in the Annual Drilling Target being exceeded in any
Annual  Period may be carried forward and applied against Operator's obligation,
if  any,  under  Section  2.01(a)  for  the  subsequent  Annual  Period.

                                        5
<PAGE>
     SECTION  2.02     OBLIGATION  TO  COMPLETE  AND  EQUIP.  Operator shall, at
Operator's  sole  cost,  attempt  to  complete  each  Development  Well  in  all
formations  which,  in  Operator's  opinion  exercised  in  accordance  with the
Reasonably  Prudent  Operator  Standard,  are capable of producing in commercial
quantities.  Operator  acknowledges  that  the  Term  Royalty  Interest would be
adversely  affected  if  Operator  fails  to  attempt to complete each Completed
Development  Well  in  all  formations  reasonably  expected  to  be  capable of
producing  in  commercial  quantities  and,  therefore,  expressly  covenants to
protect  the  Term  Royalty Interest as it relates to each Completed Development
Well  from any and all drainage that might occur should Operator not complete in
all  such formations.  Operator shall equip for production each Development Well
that  is  successfully  completed  and,  when  it is equipped and connected to a
gathering  line or pipeline, shall commence production.  Operator shall plug and
abandon  all  Development  Wells  that  are  unsuccessful.

     SECTION 2.03     UNDRILLABLE LOCATIONS/FAILURE TO REACH DEEP FORMATIONS/DRY
HOLE.  If  Operator  fails,  in  the exercise of the Reasonably Prudent Operator
Standard, to reach the Big Lime formation or deeper due to geological subsurface
conditions,  impenetrable  substances  or  drills a dry hole, such drill site or
well  shall  not be counted as a Completed Development Well nor toward the Total
Drilling  Commitment  hereunder.  Nothing  herein shall be construed to grant to
Black  Stone,  an interest in any wells drilled on the Subject Development Lands
after  the  Total  Drilling  Commitment  has  been  achieved.

     SECTION  2.04     TERMINATION.  After  the  drilling obligations in Section
2.01(a)  have  been  satisfied  in addition to all other obligations of Operator
under  this  Agreement, Black Stone shall, on request, execute, acknowledge, and
deliver  to  Operator  a  recordable instrument that terminates this Development
Agreement.

     SECTION  2.05  COSTS  AND  EXPENSES  OF  DEVELOPMENT  WELLS  AND  COMPLETED
DEVELOPMENT  WELLS.  All costs associated with or paid or incurred in connection
with  the  drilling,  testing,  completing,  equipping for production, operating
and/or  plugging  and  abandoning  of  the  Development  Wells  and  Completed
Development  Wells  shall  be  borne  solely  by  Operator, but Operator may use
reasonable amounts of Subject Gas in such operations without any duty to account
to  Black  Stone  under  any  of  the  Term  Royalty  Interests  or Term Royalty
Conveyance,  and Operator shall hold harmless and indemnify Black Stone from and
against any and all such cost, risk, liability or obligation (including, without
limitation,  court  costs  and reasonable attorneys' fees) that are attributable
thereto,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  any  liability  resulting from the
condition  thereof under any federal, state, or local statute, regulation, rule,
ordinance  or  order  relating  to  the  environment  or  health  and  safety.

     SECTION  2.06  SURVIVAL  OF OBLIGATION. Operator's obligation under Section
2.01(a)  shall  survive,  even  if  (i)  any of the Term Royalty Interest in the
Subject  Development  Lands  is  Transferred  or released in whole or in part by
Black  Stone or (ii) notwithstanding Sections 11.01 through 11.04 of each of the
Term  Royalty  Conveyance,  Operator Transfers, mortgages or pledges the Subject
Development  Lands  or  Subject  Interests.

     SECTION  2.07  ADDITIONAL  LEASES.  In the event that Operator acquires any
additional  leases  ("Additional Lease") other than the Subject Interests in the
AMI  Areas  prior to Operator's satisfaction of Operator's drilling requirements
in  Section  2.01,  Operator  and  Black  Stone  shall execute, acknowledge, and
deliver  an  instrument  that  amends  this  Development  Agreement so that such
Additional  Lease  will be part of the Subject Interests and Subject Development
Lands  hereunder.

<PAGE>
     SECTION  2.08     TITLE DUE DILIGENCE.  Prior to commencing the drilling of
any  Development  Well,  Operator will perform such title due diligence and such
title  curative work as would be performed by an oil and gas operator drilling a
well  and  acting  in  accordance with the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard.

     SECTION  2.09     WELLS.  Prior  to the satisfaction of Operator's drilling
requirements in Section 2.01, Operator shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates
not  to,  nor  permit  any  other  Person  to,  drill  any  well  on the Subject
Development  Lands  in  the  AMI  Areas  that  will  not  be  a Development Well
hereunder; provided however that any Development Well that does not constitute a
Completed Development Well shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 2.09,
so  long  as  such  Development Well is drilled in compliance with Section 2.13.

     SECTION  2.10     BLACK  STONE  NOT  LIABLE.  Black  Stone  shall  not  be
personally  liable or responsible under this Development Agreement for any cost,
risk,  liability,  or  obligation  associated  in  any way with the ownership or
operation of the Subject Lands, the Subject Interests, the Wells, or the Subject
Gas,  or  the  plugging  and  abandoning  of  any Wells, and Operator shall hold
harmless and indemnify Black Stone from and against any and all such cost, risk,
liability  or  obligation  (including,  without  limitation,  court  costs  and
reasonable  attorneys'  fees)  that are attributable thereto, including, but not
limited  to,  any  liability  resulting  from  the  condition  thereof under any
federal,  state, or local statute, regulation, rule, ordinance or order relating
to  the  environment  or  health  and  safety.

     SECTION  2.11     STANDARDS  OF  CONDUCT.  Except as otherwise specifically

shall  (a)  operate  and  maintain  the Subject Interests and Wells and (b) make
elections  under  each  applicable  lease,  operating agreement, unit agreement,
contract  for  development, and other similar instrument or agreement (including
elections concerning abandonment of any Well or release of any Subject Interest)
in  good  faith  and in accordance with the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard
and  consistent  with  Assignor's  prior  practice.

     SECTION  2.12     ABANDONMENT  OF  PROPERTIES.  Nothing in this Development
Agreement,  other  than the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard, shall obligate
Operator  to  continue to operate any Well or to operate or maintain in force or
attempt  to  maintain  in  force  any Subject Interest when such Well or Subject
Interest  ceases  to  produce,  or  Operator  determines,  in  good faith and in
accordance  with  the  terms  hereof,  that such Well or Subject Interest is not
capable  of  producing  Gas  in  paying quantities.  The expiration of a Subject
Interest  in  accordance  with the terms and conditions applicable thereto shall
not  be considered to be a voluntary surrender or abandonment thereof.  Any Well
abandoned  by  Operator  hereunder shall be plugged and abandoned, at Operator's
sole  risk  and expense, in accordance with all applicable federal, state and/or
local  laws,  statutes,  rules  and  regulations.

     SECTION  2.13     NO DRAINAGE.  At no time during the Development Agreement
Term,  shall Operator or any of its Affiliates drill, or permit any other person
to  drill,  any  Gas well within one thousand two hundred fifty feet (1,250') of
any  Well  where such Gas well would produce oil or gas from the same formations
or  horizons  as  any  Well  situated  within  said  distance.

with  any  of  its  obligations,  express  or  implied,  under the terms of this
Development  Agreement,  by  reason  of  Force Majeure or any other reason, then
while  so  prevented,  Operator's  obligation  to comply with therewith shall be
suspended and Operator shall not be liable for damages for failure to so comply;
provided,  however,  this  Development  Agreement shall be extended while and so
long  as  Operator  is  prevented by any such cause from complying with the such
obligations,  and  the time while Operator is so prevented shall be added to the
Development  Agreement  Term. No event of Force Majeure or any other cause shall
excuse  Operator's obligation to make payments of Term Royalty Proceeds to Black
Stone.

     SECTION  2.15 FORCE MAJEURE. "Force Majeure" means any of the following, to
the  extent  they are not caused solely by the breach by Operator of its duty to
perform  certain obligations under this Development Agreement in accordance with

                                OTHER PROVISIONS

     SECTION  3.01     SUCCESSORS  AND  ASSIGNS.  Subject to the limitations and
restrictions  on the assignment or delegation by the Parties of their rights and
interests under this Development Agreement, this Development Agreement binds and
inures  to the benefit of Operator, Black Stone and their respective successors,
assigns,  and  legal  representatives.

     SECTION  3.02  GOVERNING  LAW. Insofar as permitted by otherwise applicable
Legal  Requirements,  this  Development  Agreement  shall be construed under and
governed  by the laws of the State of West Virginia (excluding choice of law and
conflict  of law rules); provided, however, that, with respect to any portion of
the Subject Interests located outside of the State of West Virginia, the laws of
the  place  in  which  such  Subject  Interests is located in, shall apply where
mandatorily  required  by  the  laws  of  such  State.

     SECTION 3.03     CONSTRUCTION OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.  In construing this
Development  Agreement,  the  following  principles  shall  be  followed:

     (a)     no  consideration  shall  be given to the captions of the articles,
sections,  subsections,  or  clauses,  which  are  inserted  for  convenience in
locating  the  provisions of this Development Agreement and not as an aid in its
construction;

     (b)     no consideration shall be given to the fact or presumption that one
Party  had  a  greater  or  lesser  hand in drafting this Development Agreement;

     (c)     the  word  "includes"  and its syntactical variants mean "includes,
but  is  not  limited  to"  and  corresponding  syntactical variant expressions;

     (d)     a  defined term has its defined meaning throughout this Development
Agreement,  regardless  of  whether it appears before or after the place in this
Development  Agreement  where  it  is  defined;

     (e)     the plural shall be deemed to include the singular, and vice versa;
and

     (f)     each  exhibit,  attachment,  and  schedule  to  this  Development
Agreement  is a part of this Development Agreement, but if there is any conflict
or  inconsistency  between  the  main body of this Development Agreement and any
exhibit,  attachment,  or  schedule,  the  provisions  of  the main body of this
Development  Agreement  shall  prevail.

     SECTION 3.04     NO WAIVER.  Failure of either Party to require performance
of  any  provision of this Development Agreement shall not affect either Party's
right to require full performance thereof at any time thereafter, and the waiver
by  either  Party  of  a  breach  of any provision hereof shall not constitute a
waiver  of  a similar breach in the future or of any other breach or nullify the
effectiveness  of  such  provision.

     SECTION  3.05     RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES.  This Development Agreement does
not  create a partnership, mining partnership, joint venture, or relationship of
trust  or  agency  between  the  Parties.

Development  Agreement.

     SECTION 3.07     THE 7:00 A.M. CONVENTION.  Except as otherwise provided in
this Development Agreement, each calendar day, month, quarter, and year shall be

the  next day or on first day of the next month, quarter, or year, respectively.

more  than  one county, the description of such Subject Development Lands may be
included  in  any  one or more counterparts prepared for recordation in separate
counties,  but  the  inclusion of the same property description in more than one
counterpart  of  this  Development  Agreement  shall  not be construed as having
effected  any cumulative, multiple, or overlapping interest in the Subject Lands
in  question.

     SECTION 3.09 BINDING EFFECT.  This Development Agreement shall constitute a
covenant  running with and constituting a burden on the land and leases included
within the AMI Areas.  In addition, in the event of a foreclosure by Black Stone

EXHIBIT 10.1

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                          CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
                                       OF
                               EMRISE CORPORATION
                             A DELAWARE CORPORATION

         The undersigned, Carmine T. Oliva, hereby certifies that:

         ONE: He is the duly elected and acting Chief Executive Officer of
EMRISE CORPORATION (hereinafter, the "corporation").

         TWO: The corporation's present name is EMRISE CORPORATION. The name
under which the original certificate of incorporation of the corporation was
filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on July 14, 1989 is CXR CORP.

         THREE: This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been
duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 245 and 242 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by the directors and
stockholders of the corporation.

         FIVE: The certificate of incorporation of the corporation shall be
amended and restated to read in full as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

         The name of the corporation is EMRISE CORPORATION.

                                   ARTICLE II

         The address of the corporation's registered office in the State of
Delaware is Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, in the City of
Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware. The name of the registered
agent of the corporation at such location is The Corporation Trust Company.

                                   ARTICLE III

         The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted by
the corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which
corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.

                                   ARTICLE IV

         The corporation is authorized to issue one class of capital stock to be
designated "Common Stock" and another class of capital stock to be designated
"Preferred Stock." The total number of shares of Common Stock that the
corporation is authorized to issue is one hundred fifty million (150,000,000),
with a par value of $.0033 per share. The total number of shares of Preferred
Stock that the corporation is authorized to issue is ten million (10,000,000),
with a par value of $.01 per share.

<PAGE>

         Except as otherwise provided by law, the shares of stock of the
corporation, regardless of class, may be issued by the corporation from time to
time in such amounts, for such consideration and for such corporate purposes as
the board of directors may from time to time determine. A description of the
different classes and series of the corporation's capital stock and a statement
of the designations and the relative rights, preferences and limitations of the
shares of each class and series of capital stock are as follows:

         COMMON STOCK. Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware or in this Article IV (or in any certificate of
designation establishing a series of Preferred Stock), the holders of Common
Stock shall exclusively posses all voting power of the corporation. Each share
of Common Stock shall be equal in all respects to every other share of Common
Stock. Each holder of record of issued and outstanding Common Stock shall be
entitled to one (1) vote on all matters for each share so held. Subject to the
rights and preferences, if any, of the holders of Preferred Stock, each issued
and outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the record holder thereof to
receive dividends and distributions out of funds legally available therefor,
when, as and if declared by the board of directors, in such amounts and at such
times, if any, as the board of directors shall determine, ratably in proportion
to the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such record holder. Upon
any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
corporation, after there shall have been paid to or set aside for the holders of
any class of capital stock having preference over the Common Stock in such
circumstances the full preferential amounts to which they are respectively
entitled, the holders of the Common Stock, and of any class or series of capital
stock entitled to participate in whole or in part therewith as to the
distribution of assets, shall be entitled, after payment or provision for the
payment of all debts and liabilities of the corporation, to receive the
remaining assets of the corporation available for distribution, in cash or in
kind, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by each
such holder.

         PREFERRED STOCK. The board of directors is authorized by resolution or
resolutions, from time to time adopted, to provide for the issuance of Preferred
Stock in one or more series and to fix and state the voting powers,
designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special
rights of the shares of each series and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions thereof, including, but not limited to, determination of one or
more of the following:

         (i) the distinctive designations of each such series and the number of
shares which shall constitute such series, which number may be increased (except
where otherwise provided by the board of directors in creating such series) or
decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) from
time to time by the board of directors;

         (ii) the annual rate or amount of dividends payable on shares of such
series, whether such dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative, the
conditions upon which and the dates when such dividends shall be payable, the
date from which dividends on cumulative series shall accrue and be cumulative on
all shares of such series issued prior to the payment date for the first
dividend of such series, the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of
dividends on the shares of that series, and the participating or other special
rights, if any, with respect to such dividends;

<PAGE>

         (iii) whether such series will have any voting rights in addition to
those prescribed by law and, if so, the terms and conditions of the exercise of
such voting rights;

         (iv) whether the shares of such series will be redeemable or callable
and, if so, the prices at which, and the terms and conditions on which, such
shares may be redeemed or called, which prices may vary under different
conditions and at different redemption or call dates;

         (v) the amount or amounts payable upon the shares of such series in the
event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
corporation, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of shares
of such series;

         (vi) whether the shares of such series shall be entitled to the benefit
of a sinking or retirement fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of
such shares, and if so entitled, the amount of such fund and the manner of its
application, including the price or prices at which such shares may be redeemed
or purchased through the application of such fund;

         (vii) whether the shares of such series shall be convertible into, or
exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of
the same or any other class or classes of capital stock of the corporation, and
if so convertible or exchangeable, the conversion price or prices, or the rate
or rates of exchange, and the adjustments thereof, if any, at which such
conversion or exchange may be made, and any other terms of such conversion or
exchange;

         (viii) whether the shares of such series that are redeemed or converted
shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and
whether such shares may be reissued as shares of the same or any other series of
stock;

         (ix) the conditions and restrictions, if any, on the payment of
dividends or on the making of other distributions on, or the purchase,
redemption or other acquisition by the corporation, or any subsidiary thereof,
of, the Common Stock or any other class (or other series of the same class)
ranking junior to the shares of such series as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the corporation; and

         (x) the conditions and restrictions, if any, on the creation of
indebtedness of the corporation, or any subsidiary thereof, or on the issue of
any additional stock ranking on parity with or prior to the shares of such
series as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
corporation.

         All shares within each series of Preferred Stock shall be alike in
every particular, except with respect to the dates from which dividends, if any,
shall commence to accrue.

<PAGE>

                                    ARTICLE V

         The corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal
any provision contained in this certificate of incorporation, and to merge, sell
its assets and take other corporate action to the extent and in the manner now
or hereafter permitted or prescribed by law, and all rights conferred upon the
stockholders herein are granted pursuant to this reservation.

                                   ARTICLE VI

         The corporation shall, to the fullest extent to which it is empowered
to do so and under the circumstances permitted by the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware or any other applicable laws, as they may from time to
time be in effect, indemnify any person who was made or is threatened to be made
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the specific request of the corporation as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including,
without limitation, any employee benefit plan), against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts incurred by him or her in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and may take such steps as may
be deemed appropriate by the board of directors, including purchasing and
maintain insurance, entering into contracts (including, without limitation,
contracts of indemnification between the corporation and its directors and
officers), creating a trust fund, granting security interests or using other
means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment
of such amounts as may be necessary to effect such indemnification.

                                   ARTICLE VII

         To the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware as the same exists or as it may hereafter by amended, 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; provided, that in no event will the liability of any director of this
corporation be eliminated or otherwise limited (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derived any improper personal benefit. If the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware is amended 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 General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as so
amended.

         Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph, or the adoption
of any provision of this certificate of incorporation inconsistent with the
foregoing paragraph, shall not eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect
any right or protection of a director of the corporation existing at the time of
such repeal or modification in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of
action, suit or proceeding that, but for the foregoing paragraph, would accrue
or arise, prior to such repeal, modification or adoption of an inconsistent
provision.

<PAGE>

                                  ARTICLE VIII

         (a) Classification of Board of Directors. The board of directors shall
be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as the then total
number of directors constituting the entire board of directors permits with the
term of office of one class expiring each year. At the annual meeting of
stockholders in 1990 directors of the first class shall elected to hold office
for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting, directors of the
second class shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the second
succeeding annual meeting and directors of the third class shall be elected to
hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting. Any
vacancies in the board of directors for any reason, and any directorships
resulting from any increase in the number of directors, may be filled only by
the board of directors, acting by a majority of the directors then in office,
although less than a quorum, and any directors so chosen shall hold office until
the next election of the class for which such directors shall have been chosen
and until their successors shall be elected and qualified.

         (b) Removal for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the corporation (and
notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law,
this certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the corporation), any
director, or the entire board of directors of the corporation may be removed at
any time, but only for cause.

         (c) Amendment or Repeal. The provisions set forth in this Article VIII
may not be repealed or amended in any respect, unless such action is approved by
the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 67 percent of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the corporation.

                                   ARTICLE IX

         Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the
corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such
holders and may not be effected by a consent in writing by any such holders.
This Article IX may not be repealed or amended in any respect, unless such
action is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than
sixty-seven percent (67%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
corporation.

                                    ARTICLE X

         The corporation is to have perpetual existence.

                                   ARTICLE XI

         Meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be held within or
without the State of Delaware, as the bylaws may provide. The books of the
corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the bylaws)
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 bylaws of the corporation.

<PAGE>

                                   ARTICLE XII

         In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by
statute, the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or
repeal the bylaws of the corporation unless and to the extent the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware shall provide otherwise.

         Advance notice of new business and stockholder nominations for the
election of directors shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in
the bylaws of the corporation. Elections of directors need not be by written
ballot unless the bylaws of the corporation shall so provide.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation on this 6th day of May, 2005.
