to the Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must otherwise be a
proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall
be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor
earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day
prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting (PROVIDED,

thirty (30) days before or more than seventy (70) days after such anniversary
date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close
of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual
meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth
(90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the
day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by
the Corporation). In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or
postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a
stockholder's notice as described above. Such stockholder's notice shall set
forth: (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for
election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person

consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a
director if elected); (ii) as to any other business that the stockholder
proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business
desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such
business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such
stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is

beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends to (a)
deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the
percentage of the Corporation's outstanding capital stock required to approve or
adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (b) otherwise solicit proxies
from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination. The Corporation may
require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may
reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to
serve as a director of the Corporation.

          (3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph
(a)(2) of this Section 9 to the contrary, in the event that the number of
directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation at an
annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the
Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of
the increased Board at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first
anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice
required by this Section 9 shall also be considered timely, but only with
respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall
be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day
following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the
Corporation.

stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the
Corporation's notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the
Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to
be elected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (1) by or at the
direction of the Board or (2) PROVIDED that the Board has determined that the

Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time the notice provided for
in this Section 9 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who shall be
entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election and who complies with the
notice procedures set forth in this Section 9. In the event the Corporation
calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more
directors to the Board, any such stockholder entitled to vote in such election
of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election
to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting, if the
stockholder's notice required by paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 9 shall be
delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day
prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the
later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting, or the tenth
(10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the
date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be
elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an


                                       4
<PAGE>


adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period for
the giving of a stockholder's notice as described above.

stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set
forth in this Section 9. Nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to affect any

specified circumstances.

by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the
stockholders.

          Section 4. PLACE OF DIRECTORS' MEETINGS. The directors may hold their

like notice on the written request of two directors unless the Board consists of
only one director; in which case special meetings shall be called by the
President or Secretary in like manner or on like notice on the written request
of the sole director.

          Section 7. QUORUM. At all meetings of the Board of Directors a
majority of the authorized number of directors shall be necessary and sufficient
to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a
majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum,

specifically provided by statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by
these Bylaws. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of
Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to

          Section 8. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Unless otherwise restricted by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted
to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof
may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the

with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

          Section 9. TELEPHONIC MEETINGS. Unless otherwise restricted by the

<PAGE>


committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of
the Board of Directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or
similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in
the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.

          Section 10. COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS. The Board of Directors may, by
resolution passed by a majority of the Board, designate one or more committees,
each such committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the
Corporation. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members
of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any
meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a
committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not
disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may
unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the
meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such
committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors,
shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of

preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and
receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may
be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

                                   ARTICLE V
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

          (a) The Corporation shall to the fullest extent permitted by law
indemnify 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 (other than an action by or in
the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director
or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the written request of
the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid

                                       9
<PAGE>


in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding 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.

          (b) The Corporation shall to the fullest extent permitted by law
indemnify any person 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 a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
written request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit 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 except that no such 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 or the court in which such action or suit
was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court
of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

          (c) To the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation shall
be successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), or in defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith.

          (d) Any indemnification under paragraphs (a) and (b) (unless ordered
by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is
proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b). Such determination shall be made
(1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit
or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (2) by a committee of such
directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a
quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

          (e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or
director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the
final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if
it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Corporation as

                                       10
<PAGE>


authorized in this Article V. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred
by other employees or agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if
any, as the Board deems appropriate.

          (f) The Board of Directors may authorize the Corporation to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any
liability asserted against him and 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 him against such liability under the provisions of this
Article V.

          (g) For the purposes of this Article V, references to "the
Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation or entity,
any constituent corporation or entity (including any constituent of a
constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate
existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its
directors or officers, employee or agent, so that any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation or entity,
or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation or entity as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under
the provisions of this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving
corporation or entity as he would have with respect to such constituent
corporation or entity if its separate existence had continued.

          (h) For purposes of this section, references to "other enterprises"
shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any
excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and
references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include service
as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent
with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and
a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan
shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of
the Corporation" as referred to in this section.

          (i) In addition to the foregoing, the Corporation shall, to the
broadest and maximum extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists from
time to time (but, in case of any amendment to or change in Delaware law, only
to the extent that such amendment or change permits the Corporation to provide
broader rights of indemnification than is permitted to the Corporation prior to
such amendment or change), 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 by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. In addition,
the Corporation shall, to the broadest and maximum extent permitted by Delaware
law, as the same may exist from time to time (but, in case of any amendment to
or change in Delaware law, only to the

                                       11
<PAGE>


extent that such amendment or change permits the Corporation to provide broader
rights of payment of expenses incurred in advance of the final disposition of an
action, suit or proceeding than is permitted to the Corporation prior to such
amendment or change), pay to such person any and all expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in defending or settling any such action, suit or
proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or
officer, to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by a final
judgment or other final adjudication that he is not entitled to be indemnified
by the Corporation as authorized in this Section (i). The first sentence of this
Section (i) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not indemnify
any such person with respect to any of the following matters: (i) remuneration
paid to such person if it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final
adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law; or (ii) any
accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by such person of the
Corporation's securities within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any
federal, state or local statutory law; or (iii) actions brought about or
contributed to by the dishonesty of such person, if a final judgment or other
final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that acts of active and
deliberate dishonesty were committed or attempted by such person with actual
dishonest purpose and intent and were material to the adjudication; or (iv)
actions based on or attributable to such person having gained any personal
profit or advantage to which he was not entitled, in the fact gained such
personal profit or other advantage to which he was not entitled; or (v) any
matter in respect of which a final decision by a court with competent
jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification is unlawful; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall perform its obligations under the second
sentence of this Section (i) on behalf of such person until such time as it
shall be ultimately determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication
that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by
the first sentence of this Section by virtue of any of the preceding clauses
(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v).

          (j) The indemnification provided by this Article V shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under
any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

          (k) If any part of this Article V shall be found, in any action, suit
or proceeding or appeal therefrom or in any other circumstances or as to any
particular officer, director, employee or agent to be unenforceable, ineffective
or invalid for any reason, the enforceability, effect and validity of the
remaining parts or of such parts in other circumstances shall not be affected,
except as otherwise required by applicable law.

          (l) The foregoing provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to
constitute an agreement between the Corporation and each of the persons entitled
to indemnification hereunder, for as long as such provisions remain in effect.
Any amendment to the foregoing provisions of this Article V which limits or
otherwise adversely affects the scope of indemnification or rights of any such
persons hereunder shall, as to such persons, apply only to claims arising, or
causes of action based on actions or events occurring, after such amendment

                                       12
<PAGE>


and delivery of notice of such amendment is given to the person or persons whose
rights hereunder are adversely affected, such amendment shall have no effect on
such rights of such persons hereunder. Any person entitled to indemnification
under the foregoing provisions of this Article V shall, as to any act or
omission occurring prior to the date of receipt of such notice, be entitled to
indemnification to the same extent as had such provisions continued as Bylaws of
the Corporation without such amendment.


                                   ARTICLE VI

number of shares represented by the certificate owned by such stockholder in the
Corporation.

          Section 2. SIGNATURES ON CERTIFICATES. Any or all of the signatures on
the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or
registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a
certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar
before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the
same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date
of issue.

          Section 3. STATEMENT OF STOCK RIGHTS, PREFERENCES, PRIVILEGES. If the
Corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more
than one series of any class, the powers, designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock
or series thereof and the qualification, limitations or restrictions of such
preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face
or back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent such
class or series of stock, PROVIDED that, except as otherwise provided in Section
202 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, in lieu of the foregoing
requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate
which the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, a
statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder
who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series
thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences
and/or rights.

          Section 4. LOST CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors may direct a new
certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or
certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost,
stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person
claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When
authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of
Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance
thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or
certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in

                                       13
<PAGE>


such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such
sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the
Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed.

          Section 5. TRANSFERS OF STOCK. Upon surrender to the Corporation, or

transaction upon its books.

determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
the stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of
any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to

for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a
record date which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days
before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other
action. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to
vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the
adjourned meeting. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board
of Directors may fix a record date which shall not be more than ten (10) days
after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by
the Board of Directors.

          Section 7. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS. The Corporation shall be entitled
to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the holder in
fact thereof and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or
other claim or interest in such share on the part of any other person, whether
or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, save as expressly provided
by the laws of the State of Delaware.

                                  ARTICLE VII

their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve fund to meet contingencies,

Corporation, or for such other purpose as the directors shall think conducive to
the interests of the Corporation, and the directors may abolish any such
reserve.
