other electronic transmission, in the manner provided in Section 232 of the

2.5 Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominees and Other Stockholder
------------------------------------------------------------
Proposals.
---------
Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 2.5 shall be eligible for election as directors.
Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation
may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or by any stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the
election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set
forth in this Section 2.5. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in
writing to the secretary of the Corporation. Stockholders may bring other
business before the annual meeting, provided that timely notice is provided to
the secretary of the Corporation in accordance with this section, and provided
further that such business is a proper matter for stockholder action under the
General Corporation Law of Delaware. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall
be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the
anniversary date of the prior year's meeting; provided, however, that in the
event that (i) the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days prior to or
more than 60 days after such anniversary date, and (ii) less than 60 days notice
or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to
stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not
later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such
notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made.

any other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed
in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required,
in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (including, without limitation, such person's written consent to being name
in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected);
(b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the
meeting, a brief description of such business, the reasons for conducting such
business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such
stockholder and the beneficial owner,

giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal
is made (i) the name and address of the stockholder, as they appear on the
Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number
of shares of the Corporation which are owned of record by such stockholder and
beneficially by such beneficial owner. At the request of the Board of Directors
any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a director shall
furnish to the secretary of the Corporation that information required to be set
forth in a stockholder's notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee. No
person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless
nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.5. The
chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to
the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures
prescribed by the Bylaws, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall
so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
2.6 Quorum.
------
The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of
business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of
Incorporation. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any
meeting of the stockholders, then either (a) the chairman of the meeting or (b)
the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by
proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice
other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or
represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or
represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at
the meeting as originally noticed.
2.7 Adjourned Meeting; Notice.
-------------------------
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these
Bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if
the time and place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communications, if
any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present and vote
at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment
is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business
that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is
for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed
for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to
each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting, specifying the
place, if any, date and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote
communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to
be present and vote at such adjourned meeting.

(a) The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these
Bylaws, subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors
and joint owners of stock and to voting trusts and other voting agreements).
(b) Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of
capital stock held by such stockholder.
2.10 Waiver of Notice.
----------------
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware or of the Certificate of Incorporation or
these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice,
or waiver by electronic mail or other electronic transmission by such person,
whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to
notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice
of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any
business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the
business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting
of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so
required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.
2.11 Record Date for Stockholder Notice; Voting.
------------------------------------------
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 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
change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful
action, the Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors does not
so fix a record date:
(a) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice
of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on
the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is
waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the
meeting is held.
(b) The record date for determining stockholders for any other
purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of
Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
-5-
<PAGE>
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.
2.12 Proxies.
-------
Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may
authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by a written
proxy, signed by the stockholder and filed with the secretary of the
Corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years
from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be
deemed signed if the stockholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether by
manual signature, typewriting, electronic or telegraphic transmission or
otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder's attorney-in-fact. The
revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be
governed by the provisions of Section 212(e) of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware.

-------------------
The number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors
shall be six.
Thereafter, this number may be changed by a resolution of the Board of

reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of
removing any director before such director's term of office expires.
3.3 Election, Qualification and Term of Office of Directors.
-------------------------------------------------------
Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these Bylaws, and unless
otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors shall be

her earlier resignation or removal.
Unless otherwise specified in the Certificate of Incorporation,
elections of directors need not be by written ballot.
3.4 Resignation and Vacancies.
-------------------------
Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the
attention of the secretary of the Corporation. When one or more directors so
resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date, a majority of the
directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power
to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such
resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen
shall hold office as provided in this section in the filling of other vacancies.
Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to
the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock that may then be
outstanding, a vacancy created by the removal of a director by the vote of the
stockholders or by court order may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a
quorum is present (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute a majority
of the quorum. Each director so elected shall hold office until the next annual
meeting of the stockholders and until a successor has been elected and
qualified.
Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these
Bylaws:
(a) Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any
increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the
stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a
majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a
sole remaining director.
(b) Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series
thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of such
class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the directors elected
by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole
remaining director so elected.
If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the
Corporation should have no directors in office, then any officer or any
stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder,
or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate
of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with
the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, or may apply
to the Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election as provided
in Section 211 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
-7-
<PAGE>
If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created
directorship, the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of
the whole Board of Directors (as constituted immediately prior to any such
increase), then the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder
or stockholders holding at least 10% of the total number of the shares at the
time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an
election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships,
or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid,
which election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware as far as applicable.
3.5 Place of Meetings; Meetings by Telephone.
----------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of the Corporation may hold meetings, both
regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware. Unless
otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws,
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 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 the
meeting.
3.6 Regular Meetings.
----------------
Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice
at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the
Board of Directors.
3.7 Special Meetings; Notice.
------------------------
Special meetings of the board of directors for any purpose or purposes
may be called at any time by the chairman of the board, the president, any vice
president, the secretary or any two (2) directors.
Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered
personally or by telephone to each director or sent by first-class mail or
telegram, charges prepaid, addressed to each director at that director's address
as it is shown on the records of the Corporation. If the notice is mailed, it
shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four (4) days before the
time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is delivered personally or by
telephone, telecopy, telegram, telex or other similar means of communication, it
shall be delivered at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time of the
holding of the meeting, or on such shorter notice as the person or persons
calling such meeting may deem necessary and appropriate in the circumstances.
Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be communicated either to
the director or to a person at the office of the director who the person giving
the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the director.
The notice need not specify the purpose of the place of the meeting, if the
meeting is to be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation.
3.8 Quorum.
------
-8-
<PAGE>
At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the
authorized number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at
which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as
may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the Certificate of
Incorporation. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board of
Directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time
to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum
is present.
A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to
transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action
taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that
meeting.
3.9 Waiver of Notice.
----------------
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware or of the Certificate of Incorporation or
these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice,
or waiver by electronic mail or other electronic transmission by such person,
whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to
notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice
of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any
business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the
business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting
of the directors, or members of a committee of directors, need be specified in
any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws.
3.10 Board Action by Written Consent Without a 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 of Directors or 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 committee. Written consents
representing actions taken by the board or committee may be executed by telex,
telecopy or other facsimile transmission, or by electronic mail or other
electronic transmission, and such facsimile or electronic transmission shall be
valid and binding to the same extent as if it were an original. If the minutes
of the board or committee are maintained in paper form, consents obtained by
electronic transmission shall be reduced to written form and filed with such
minutes.
3.11 Fees and Compensation of Directors.
----------------------------------
Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or
these Bylaws, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the
compensation of directors. No such compensation shall preclude any director
from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation
therefor.
-9-
<PAGE>
3.12 Approval of Loans to Officers.
-----------------------------
The Corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or
otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the Corporation or of its
subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the
Corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the directors, such
loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the
Corporation. The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without
interest and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of
Directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of
stock of the Corporation. Nothing in this Section 3.2 contained shall be deemed
to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the Corporation
at common law or under any statute.
3.13 Removal of Directors.
--------------------
Unless otherwise restricted by statute, by the Certificate of
Incorporation or by these Bylaws, any director or the entire Board of Directors
may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the
shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided, however,
that if the stockholders of the Corporation are entitled to cumulative voting,
if less than the entire Board of Directors is to be removed, no director may be
removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient
to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of
Directors.
No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the
effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of such director's term
of office.
3.14 Chairman of the Board of Directors.
----------------------------------
The Corporation may also have, at the discretion of the Board of
Directors, a Chairman of the Board of Directors who shall not be considered an

action in another capacity while holding such office, to the extent that such

authorized shall sign or endorse those instruments.
8.2 Execution of Corporate Contracts and Instruments.
------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws,
may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any
contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the
Corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.
Unless so authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors or within the agency
power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or
authority to bind the Corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its
credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.
8.3 Stock Certificates; Partly Paid Shares.
--------------------------------------
The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates,
provided that the Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide by
resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of
its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply
to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to
the
-17-
<PAGE>
Corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the Board of
Directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates and upon request
every holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate
signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by the chairman or vice-chairman of
the Board of Directors, or the chief executive officer or the president or vice-
president, and by the chief financial officer or an assistant treasurer, or the
secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation representing the number
of shares registered in certificate form. 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
has 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 or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of
issue.
The Corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as
partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be
paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to
represent any such partly paid shares, upon the books and records of the
Corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount
of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be
stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the
Corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class,
but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid
thereon.
8.4 Special Designation on Certificates.
-----------------------------------
If the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock
or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the
preferences, and the 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 shall be set forth in full or
summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the Corporation shall
issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, 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 that 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, the designations,
the preferences, and the 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.

any certificate previously issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or
destroyed certificate, or the owner's legal representative, to give the
Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made
against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such
certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules
of construction, and definitions in the Delaware General Corporation Law shall
govern the construction of these Bylaws. Without limiting the generality of
this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number
includes the singular, and the term "person" includes both a corporation and a
natural person.
8.7 Dividends.
---------
The directors of the Corporation, subject to any restrictions
contained in (a) the General Corporation Law of Delaware or (b) the Certificate
of Incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital
stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the
Corporation's capital stock.
The directors of the Corporation may set apart out of any of the funds
of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper
purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not
be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the
Corporation, and meeting contingencies.

Board of Directors and may be changed by the Board of Directors.

Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the
Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper

duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled
thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction in its books.

-------------------------
The Corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any
agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of
the Corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the Corporation

express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of
Delaware.
ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS
----------
The Bylaws of the Corporation may be adopted, amended or repealed by
the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however, that the Corporation may,
in its Certificate of Incorporation, confer the power to adopt, amend or repeal
Bylaws upon the directors. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon
the directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor limit their
power to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws.
