consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the
holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes

were delivered to the corporation as provided in this Section.

provided in Section 2 of this Article, and each director shall hold office until
his successor is elected and qualified. Directors need not be stockholders.

as shall be specified in a written waiver signed by all of the directors.

If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the board of directors, the
directors present

thereat may adjourn the meeting, without notice other than announcement at the
meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

         Section 9. Consent in Writing. 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 of directors or of
the committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing
or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board of directors
or of the board committee.

         Section 10. Participation in Meetings by Telephone. Unless otherwise
restricted by the certificate of incorporation, members of the board of
directors or any committee designated by the board of directors may participate
in a meeting of the board of directors or of any board committee by means of
conference telephone or similar communications equipment which permit all
persons participating in the meeting to hear each other. Such participation in a
meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

exercise all the powers and authority of the board of directors in the
management of the business and affairs of the corporation to the extent provided
in the resolution of the board of directors creating such committee. However, no
such committee shall have the power or authority to (1) approve or adopt, or

statute or the certificate of incorporation to be submitted to the stockholders
for approval or (2) adopt, amend, or repeal these bylaws.

         Section 12. Committee Minutes. Each committee designated by the board

or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall 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.
