expressly prohibited. Election of directors need not be by written ballot, except and to the
extent the bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.
SEVENTH. The Board of Directors is authorized to make, adopt, amend, alter, or repeal bylaws

and to alter and repeal bylaws made by the Board of Directors.
EIGHTH. The Corporation expressly elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the General

NINTH. Any 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 (whether or not by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, incorporator, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, incorporator, employee, partner,
trustee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise
(including an employee benefit plan), shall be indemnified by the Corporation to the full extent
then permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same
may be amended and supplemented from time to time, against expenses (including counsel fees and
disbursements), judgments, fines (including excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an
employee benefit plan), and amounts paid in settlement incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit, or proceeding. Such right of indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim
asserted is based on matters which antedate the adoption of this Article Ninth. Such right of
indemnification, if any, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
incorporator, employee, partner, trustee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and
personal representatives of such a person. The indemnification provided by this Article Ninth
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which may be provided now or in the future under
any provision currently in effect or hereafter adopted of the bylaws, by any agreement, by vote of
stockholders, by resolution of disinterested directors, by provision of law, or otherwise.

TENTH. To the fullest extent permitted by Paragraph (7) of Subsection (b) of Section 102 of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, no director of the Corporation shall be
liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, provided that this provision does not eliminate the liability of the director
(i) for any breach of the directors 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 an improper personal benefit. For
purposes of the prior sentence, the term damages shall, to the extent permitted by law, include
without limitation, any judgment, fine, amount paid in settlement, penalty, punitive damages,
excise, or other tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or expense of any nature
(including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements). Each person who serves as a
director of the Corporation while this Article Tenth is in effect shall be deemed to be doing so in
reliance on the provisions of this Article Tenth, and neither the amendment or repeal of this
Article Tenth, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent
with this Article Tenth, shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of
any director or the Corporation for, arising out of, based upon, or in connection with any acts or
omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, or adoption of an
inconsistent provision. The provisions of this Article Tenth are cumulative and shall be in
addition to and independent of any and all other limitations of the liabilities of directors of the
Corporation, as such, whether such limitations or eliminations arise under or are created by any
law, rule, regulations, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, the undersigned, for the purpose of forming a corporation under the
laws of the State of Delaware, do make, file, and record this Certificate, and do certify that the
facts herein stated are true, and I have accordingly hereunto set my hand this
