The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series in any manner permitted by law and the provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as determined by the Board of Directors and stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuances thereof. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to provide for the issuance of all or any shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix by resolution or resolutions such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions as may be desired or any required by law.

Article V
Directors
The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors consisting of not less than four directors nor more than nine directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. The term of the initial Class I directors shall terminate on the date of the 1995 annual meeting of stockholders; the term of the initial Class II directors shall terminate on the date of the 1996 annual meeting of stockholders; and the term of the initial Class III directors shall terminate on the date of the 1997 annual meeting of stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders beginning in 1995, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional directors of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation from time to time. Election of Directors and other matters voted upon by the stockholders need not be by written ballot except to the extent provided in the By-Laws of the Corporation.
Article VI
Director Liability/Indemnification
The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses reasonably incurred by such person. The Corporation shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
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 director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing sentences shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director of the Corporation existing hereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
