purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of any meeting of stockholders
shall not be required to be given to any stockholder who shall have waived such

lawfully called or convened. Except as otherwise expressly required by law,
notice of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders need not be given if the
time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken.

         SECTION 2.05 QUORUM. Except in the case of any meeting for the election
of directors summarily ordered as provided by law, the holders of record of a
majority of the shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to be voted thereat,
present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation or any
adjournment thereof. In the absence of a quorum at any meeting or any
adjournment thereof, a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present
in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat or, in the absence therefrom
of all the stockholders, any officer entitled to preside at, or to act as
secretary of, such meeting may adjourn such meeting from time to time. At any
such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

         SECTION 2.06  VOTING.

         (a) Each stockholder shall, at each meeting of the stockholders, be
entitled to vote in person or by proxy each share or fractional share of the
stock of the Corporation having voting rights on the matter in question and
which shall have been held by it and registered in its name on the books of the
Corporation:

                  (i) on the date fixed pursuant to Section 6.05 of these Bylaws
         as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
         notice of and to vote at such meeting, or

                  (ii) if no such record date shall have been so fixed, then (a)
         at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which
         notice of the meeting shall be given or (b) if notice of the meeting
         shall be waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the
         day on which the meeting shall be held.

         (b) Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another
corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of
directors in such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the
Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum
purposes. Persons holding stock of the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity shall
be entitled to vote such stock. Persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled
to vote, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation
such stockholder shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in
which case only the pledgee, or its proxy, may represent such stock and vote
thereon. Stock having voting power standing of record in the names of two or
more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a


<PAGE>

partnership, joint tenants in common, tenants by entirety or otherwise, or with
respect to which two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship, shall
be voted in accordance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware.

         (c) Any such voting rights may be exercised by the stockholder entitled
thereto in person or by its proxy appointed by an instrument in writing,
subscribed by such stockholder or by its attorney thereunto authorized and
delivered to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy
shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date unless said proxy
shall provide for a longer period. The attendance at any meeting of a
stockholder who may theretofore have given a proxy shall not have the effect of
revoking the same unless such stockholder shall in writing so notify the
secretary of the meeting prior to the voting of the proxy. At any meeting of the
stockholders all matters, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation, in these Bylaws or by law, shall be decided by the vote of a
majority of shares represented at a meeting where a quorum is present. The vote
at any meeting of the stockholders on any question need not be by ballot, unless
so directed by the chairman of the meeting. On a vote by ballot each ballot
shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by his proxy, if there be such
proxy, and it shall state the number of shares voted.

         SECTION 2.07 LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS. The Secretary of the Corporation
shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of
stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the
meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each
stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.
Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose
germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least
ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the
meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the
meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.
The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting
during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is
present.

         SECTION 2.08  INSPECTORS OF ELECTIONS.  If at any meeting of the
stockholders a vote by written ballot shall be taken on any question, the
chairman of such meeting may appoint an inspector or inspectors to act with
respect to such vote. Each inspector so appointed shall first subscribe an oath
faithfully to execute the duties of an inspector at such meeting with strict
impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. Such inspectors
shall decide upon the qualification of the voters and shall report the number of
shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on such question, shall
conduct and accept the votes, and, when the voting is completed, shall ascertain
and report the number of shares voted respectively for and against the question.
Reports of inspectors shall be in writing and subscribed and delivered by them
to the Secretary of the Corporation. The inspectors need not be stockholders of
the Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation may be a inspector on any
question other than a vote for or against a proposal in which he or she shall
have a material interest.

if a consent 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 that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at
which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice
of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous
written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in
writing.

such director for any expense incurred by a director on account of his or her
attendance at any meetings of the Board or Committees of the Board. Neither the
payment of such compensation nor the reimbursement of such expenses shall be
construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation or its
subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

                            SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER

         SECTION 6.01 CERTIFICATES FOR STOCK. Every owner of stock of the
Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate or certificates, to be in
such form as the Board shall prescribe, certifying the number and class of
shares of the stock of the Corporation owned by such stockholder. The
certificates representing shares of such stock shall be numbered in the order in
which they shall be issued and shall be signed in the name of the Corporation by
the President and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or by the Chief
Financial Officer or an Assistant Chief Financial Officer. Any or all of the
signatures on the certificates may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer
agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed
upon, any such certificate, shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent
or registrar before such certificate is issued, such certificate may
nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as though the
person who signed such certificate, or whose facsimile signature shall have been
placed thereupon, were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of
issue. A record shall be kept of the respective names of the persons, firms or
corporations owning the stock represented by such certificates, the number and
class of shares represented by such certificates, respectively, and the
respective dates thereof, and in case of cancellation, the respective dates of
cancellation. Every certificate surrendered to the Corporation for exchange or
transfer shall be cancelled, and no new certificate or certificates shall be
issued in exchange for any existing certificate until such existing certificate
shall have been so cancelled, except in cases provided for in Section 6.04.

         SECTION 6.02 TRANSFERS OF STOCK. Transfers of shares of stock of the
Corporation shall be made only on the books of the Corporation by the registered
holder thereof, or by its attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney
duly executed and filed with the Secretary, or with a transfer clerk or a
transfer agent appointed as provided in Section 6.03, and upon surrender of the
certificate or certificates for such shares properly endorsed and the payment of
all taxes thereon. The person in whose name shares of stock stand on the books
of the Corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes as regards
the Corporation. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral
security, and not absolutely, such fact shall be so expressed in the entry of
transfer if, when the certificate or certificates shall be presented to the
Corporation for transfer, both the transferor and the transferee request the
Corporation to do so.

         SECTION 6.03 REGULATIONS. The Board may make such rules and regulations
as it may deem expedient, not inconsistent with these Bylaws, concerning the
issue, transfer and registration of certificates


<PAGE>

for shares of the stock of the Corporation. It may appoint, or authorize any
officer or officers to appoint, one or more transfer clerks or one or more
transfer agents and one or more registrars, and may require all certificates for
stock to bear the signature or signatures of any of them.

         SECTION 6.04 LOST, STOLEN, DESTROYED, AND MUTILATED CERTIFICATES. In
any case of loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any certificate of stock,
another may be issued in its place upon proof of such loss, theft, destruction,
or mutilation and upon the giving of a bond of indemnity to the Corporation by
the stockholder, in such form and in such sum as the Board may direct; provided,
however, that a new certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when,
in the judgment of the Board, it is proper so to do.

         SECTION 6.05 FIXING DATE FOR DETERMINATION OF STOCKHOLDERS OF RECORD.
In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice
of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to
express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to
receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any
rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other change,
conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action,
the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than 60
nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days
prior to any other action. If in any case involving the determination of
stockholders for any purpose other than notice of or voting at a meeting of
stockholders or expressing consent to corporate action without a meeting the
Board shall not fix such a record date, the record date for determining
stockholders for such purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which
the Board shall adopt the resolution relating thereto. A determination of
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall
apply to any adjournment of such meeting; provided, however, that the Board may
fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.


                                   ARTICLE VII
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         SECTION 7.01 ACTION, ETC. OTHER THAN BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE
CORPORATION. The Corporation shall 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 or she 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 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 if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she 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 or her
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order,


<PAGE>

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 or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, that he or she had reasonable cause to believe
that his or her conduct was unlawful.

         SECTION 7.02 ACTIONS, ETC., BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION. The
Corporation shall 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 or she 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 expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or
her duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery 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 the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.

         SECTION 7.03 DETERMINATION OF RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION. Any
indemnification under Section 7.01 or 7.02 (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, officer, employee or agent
is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in Section 7.01 and 7.02. Such determination shall be made
(i) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were
not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not
obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the
stockholders.

         SECTION 7.04 INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST EXPENSES OF SUCCESSFUL PARTY.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article, to the extent that a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to
in Section 7.01 or 7.02, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

         SECTION 7.05 PREPAID EXPENSES. Expenses incurred by an officer or
director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid
by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of


<PAGE>

such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board in the specific case
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to
repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article.
Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such
terms and conditions, if any, as the Board deems appropriate.

         SECTION 7.06 OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. The indemnification provided by
this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification may be entitled under any Bylaws, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his
or her 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.

         SECTION 7.07 INSURANCE. Upon resolution passed by the Board, the
Corporation may 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 or her and incurred by him
or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her
against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

         SECTION 7.08 CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS. For purposes of this Article,
references to "the Corporation" include all constituent corporations absorbed in
a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving corporation, so
that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such a
constituent corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation 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 with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as he or she would if he or she had served the resulting
or surviving corporation in the same capacity.

         SECTION 7.09 OTHER ENTERPRISES, FINES, AND SERVING AT CORPORATION'S
REQUEST. For purposes of this Article, references to "other enterprises" shall
include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise
taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and
references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any
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 or she
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
Article.
