                            (A Delaware Corporation)

                               ARTICLE I - OFFICES

The office of the Corporation shall be located in the City and State designated
in the Articles of Incorporation. The Corporation may also maintain offices at
such other places within or without the United States as the Board of Directors
may, from time to time, determine.

                      ARTICLE II - MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1 - Annual Meetings:

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held within
five months after the close of the fiscal year of the Corporation, for the
purpose of electing directors, and transacting such other business as may
properly come before the meeting.

Section 2 - Special Meetings:

Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the Board of
Directors or by the President, and shall be called by the President or the
Secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the directors or
stockholders entitled to vote or as otherwise required by the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the "Corporation Law"). Such request shall state the purpose or
purposes of the proposed meeting.

Section 3 - Place of Meetings:

All meetings of stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the
Corporation, or at such other places as shall be designated in the notices or
waivers of notice of such meetings.

Section 4 - Notice of Meetings:

(a) Except as otherwise provided by statute, written notice of each meeting of
stockholders, whether annual or special, stating the time when and place where
it is to be held, shall be served either personally or by mail, not less than
ten or more than sixty days before the meeting, upon each stockholder of record
entitled to vote at such meeting, and to any other stockholder of record
entitled to vote at such meeting, and to any other stockholder to whom the
giving of notice may be required by law. Notice of a special meeting shall also
state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and shall
indicate that it is being issued by, or at the direction of, the person or
persons calling the meeting. If, at any meeting, action is proposed to be taken
that would, if taken, entitle stockholders to receive payment for their shares
pursuant to statute, the notice of such meeting shall include a statement of
that purpose and to that effect. If mailed, such notice shall be directed to
each such


<PAGE>


stockholder at his address, as it appears on the records of the stockholders of
the Corporation, unless he shall have previously filed with the Secretary of the
Corporation a written request that notices intended for him be mailed to some
other address, in which case, it shall be mailed to the address designated in
such request.

(b) Notice of any meeting need not be given to any person who may become a
stockholder of record after the mailing of such notice and prior to the meeting,
or to any stockholder who attends such meeting, in person or by proxy, or to any
stockholder who, in person or by proxy, submits a signed waiver of notice either
before or after such meeting. Notice of any adjourned meeting of stockholders
need not be given, unless otherwise required by statute.

(c) The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall
prepare and make, at least ten 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 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 5 - Quorum:

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, or by statute, or in the Certificate of
Incorporation (such Certificate and any amendments thereof being hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Certificate of Incorporation"), at all meetings
of stockholders of the Corporation, the presence at the commencement of such
meetings in person or by proxy of stockholders holding of record a majority of
the total number of shares of the Corporation then issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote, shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for
the transaction of any business. The withdrawal of any stockholder after the
commencement of a meeting shall have no effect on the existence of a quorum,
after a quorum has been established at such meeting.

(b) In case a quorum shall not be present at any meeting, a majority in interest
of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy,
shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other
than announcement at the meeting, until the requisite number of shares entitled
to vote shall be present. At any such adjourned meeting at which the requisite
number of shares entitled to vote shall be represented, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
noticed; but only those stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting as
originally noticed shall be entitled to vote at any adjournment or adjournments
thereof.

Section 6 - Voting:



                                       2
<PAGE>


(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, or by statute or by the Certificate of
Incorporation, any corporate action, to be taken by vote of the stockholders,
shall be authorized by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of stockholders by
the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, or by the statute or by the Certificate
of Incorporation or by any Certificate of Designations, at each meeting of
stockholders, each holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote
thereat, shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock registered in his
name on the books of the Corporation.

(c) Each stockholder entitled to vote or to express consent or dissent without a
meeting, may do so by proxy; provided, however, that the instrument authorizing
such proxy to act shall have been executed in writing by the stockholder
himself, or by his attorney-in-fact thereunto duly authorized in writing. No
proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months from the date of its
execution, unless the person executing it shall have specified therein the
length of time it is to continue in force. Such instrument shall be exhibited to
the Secretary at the meeting and shall be filed with the records of the
Corporation.

Section 7 - Action Without Meeting:

Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, whenever the
vote of stockholders at a meeting thereof is required or permitted to be taken
in connection with any corporate action by any provisions of the Corporation Law
or the Certificate of Incorporation or of these By-Laws, the meeting and vote of
share-holders may be dispensed with, if the majority of the stockholders who
would have been entitled to vote upon the action if such meeting were held,
shall consent in writing to such corporate action being taken. 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.

                        ARTICLE III - BOARD OF DIRECTORS

of the Corporation, who need not be stockholders, shall be elected by a majority
of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders, by the holders of shares,
present in person or by proxy, entitled to vote in the election.

next succeeding his election, and until his successor is elected and qualified,

each director who shall not have been present at the meeting at which such

mailed directly to each director, addressed to him at his residence or usual
place of business, at least two (2) days before the day on which the meeting is
to be held, or shall be sent to him at such place by telegram, radio,
telecopier, facsimile transmission or cable, or shall be delivered to him
personally or given to him orally, not later than the day before the day on
which the meeting is to be held. A notice, or waiver of notice, except as
required by Section 8 of this Article III, need not specify the purpose of the
meeting.

(c) Notice of any special meeting shall not be required to be given to any
director who shall attend such meeting without protesting prior thereto or at
its commencement, the lack of notice to him, or who submits a signed waiver of
notice, whether before or after the meeting. Notice of any adjourned meeting
shall not be required to be given.

Section 5 - Telecommunication Meetings Permitted:

Members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board, may
participate in a

<PAGE>


meeting of such Board or 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 participation in a meeting pursuant to this
By-Law shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

Section 6 - Chairman:

At all meetings of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, if any and
if present, shall preside. If there shall be no Chairman, or he shall be absent,
then the President shall preside, and in his absence, a Chairman chosen by the
directors shall preside.

Section 7 - Quorum and Adjournments:

(a) At all meetings of the Board of Directors, the presence of a majority of the
entire Board shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the

one vote, irrespective of the number of shares of stock, if any, which he may
hold.

(b) Except as otherwise provided by statute, by the Certificate of
Incorporation, or by these By-Laws, the action of a majority of the directors
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the
Board of Directors. Any action authorized, in writing, by all of the directors
entitled to vote thereon and filed with the minutes of the Corporation shall be
the act of the Board of Directors with the same force and effect as if the same
had been passed by unanimous vote at a duly called meeting of the Board.

Section 9 - Vacancies:

Any vacancy in the Board of Directors occurring by reason of an increase in the
number of directors, or by reason of the death, resignation, disqualification,
removal (unless a vacancy created by the removal of a director by the
stockholders shall be filled by the stockholders at the meeting at which the
removal was effected) or inability to act of any director, or otherwise, shall
be filled for the unexpired portion of the term by a majority vote of the

Directors, the President or the Secretary of the Corporation. Unless otherwise

receipt thereof by the Board of Directors or such officer, and the acceptance of
such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

Section 11 - Removal:

Any director may be removed with or without cause at any time by the affirmative
vote of stockholders holding of record in the aggregate at least a majority of
the outstanding shares of the Corporation at a special meeting of the
stockholders called for that purpose, and may be removed for cause by action of
the Board.

Section 12 - Salary:

resolution of the Board of Directors a fixed sum and expenses of attendance, if
any, may be allowed for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the
Board; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to
preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and
receiving compensation therefor.

Section 13 - Contracts:

(a) No contract or other transaction between this Corporation and any other
Corporation shall be impaired, affected or invalidated, nor shall any director
be liable in any way by reason of the fact that any one or more of the directors
of this Corporation is or are interested in, or is a director or officer, or are
directors or officers of such other corporation, provided that such facts are
disclosed or made known to the Board of Directors.

(b) Any director, personally and individually, may be a party to or may be
interested in any contract or transaction of this Corporation, and no director
shall be liable in any way by reason of such interest, provided that the fact of
such interest be disclosed or made known to the Board of Directors, and provided
that the Board of Directors shall authorize, approve or ratify such contract or
transaction by the vote (not counting the vote of any such interested director)
of a majority of a quorum, notwithstanding the presence of any such director at
the meeting at which such action is taken. If there be no disinterested
director, the stockholders of the Company may authorize, approve or ratify such

The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board,
may from time to time



                                       6

designate from among its members an executive committee and such other

respective offices as well as such powers and duties as



                                       7
<PAGE>


may be set forth in these By-Laws, or may from time to time be specifically
conferred or imposed by the Board of Directors. The President shall be the chief
executive officer of the Corporation. The Treasurer shall be the chief financial
officer of the Corporation.

Section 6 - Sureties and Bonds:

In case the Board of Directors shall so require, any officer, employee or agent
of the Corporation shall execute to the Corporation a bond in such sum, and with
such surety or sureties as the Board of Directors may direct, conditioned upon
the faithful performance of his duties to the Corporation, including
responsibility for negligence and for the accounting for all property, funds or
securities of the Corporation which may come into his hands.

Section 7 - Shares of Other Corporations:

Whenever the Corporation is the holder of shares of any other Corporation, any
rights or power of the Corporation as such stockholder (including the
attendance, acting and voting at stockholders' meetings and execution of
waivers, consents, proxies or other instruments) may be exercised on behalf of
the Corporation by the President, any Vice President, or such other person as
the Board of Directors may authorize.

                           ARTICLE V - SHARES OF STOCK

Section 1 - Certificate of Stock:

(a) The certificates representing shares of the Corporation shall be in such
form as shall be adopted by the Board of Directors, and shall be numbered and
registered in the order issued. They shall bear the holder's name and the number
of shares, and shall be signed by (i) the Chairman of the Board or the President
or a Vice President, and (ii) the Secretary or Treasurer, or any Assistant
Secretary or Assistant Treasurer, and shall bear the corporate seal.

(b) No certificate representing shares shall be issued until the full amount of
consideration therefor has been paid, except as otherwise permitted by law.

(c) To the extent permitted by law, the Board of Directors may authorize the
issuance of certificates for fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder
to exercise voting rights, receive dividends and participate in liquidating
distributions, in proportion to the fractional holdings; or it may authorize the
payment in cash of the fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when
those entitled to receive such fractions are determined; or it may authorize the
issuance, subject to such conditions as may be permitted by law, of scrip in
registered or bearer form over the signature of an officer or agent of the
Corporation, exchangeable as therein provided for full shares, but such scrip
shall not entitle the holder to any rights of a stockholder, except as therein
provided.

(d) Any of or all the signatures on a certificate may be facsimile. In case any
officer, transfer



                                       8
<PAGE>


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 2 - Lost or Destroyed Certificates:

The holder of any certificate representing shares of the Corporation shall
immediately notify the Corporation of any loss or destruction of the certificate
representing the same. The Corporation may issue a new certificate in the place
of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost or
destroyed. On production of such evidence of loss or destruction as the Board of
Directors in its discretion may require, the Board of Directors may, in its
discretion, require the owner of the lost or destroyed certificate, or his legal
representatives, to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as the Board may
direct, and with such surety or sureties as may be satisfactory to the Board, to
indemnify the Corporation against any claims, loss, liability or damage it may
suffer on account of the issuance of the new certificate. A new certificate may
be issued without requiring any such evidence or bond when, in the judgment of
the Board of Directors, it is proper to do so.

Section 3 - Transfers of Shares:

(a) Transfers of shares of the Corporation shall be made on the share records of
the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof, in person or by his duly
authorized attorney, upon surrender for cancellation of the certificate or
certificates representing such shares, with an assignment or power of transfer
endorsed thereon or delivered therewith, duly executed, with such proof of the
authenticity of the signature and of authority to transfer and of payment of
transfer taxes as the Corporation or its agents may require.

(b) The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share
or shares as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and, accordingly, shall
not be bound to recognize any legal, equitable or other claim to, or interest
in, such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it
shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise expressly
provided by law.

Section 4 - Record Date:

In lieu of closing the share records of the Corporation, the Board of Directors
may fix, in advance, a date not exceeding sixty days, nor less than ten days, as
the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive notice
of, or to vote at, any meeting of stockholders, or to consent to any proposal
without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to
receive payment of any dividends, or allotment of any rights, or for the purpose
of any other action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the
determination of 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 no notice is given, the day on which the
meeting is held; the record date for determining stockholders for any other
purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on



                                       9
<PAGE>


which the resolution of the directors relating thereto is adopted. When a
determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any
meeting of stockholders has been made as provided for herein, such determination
shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the directors fix a new record
date for the adjourned meeting.

                             ARTICLE VI - DIVIDENDS

Subject to applicable law, dividends may be declared and paid out of any funds
available therefor, as often, in such amounts, and at such time or times as the
Board of Directors may determine.

The board of directors shall present at each annual meeting, and at any special
meeting of the stockholders when called for by vote of the stockholders, a full
and clear statement of the business and condition of the corporation.

                              ARTICLE VII - CHECKS


All checks or demands for money and notes of the corporation shall be signed by
such officer or officers or such other person or persons as the board of
directors may from time to time designate.

                            ARTICLE IX - FISCAL YEAR

The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by the Board of Directors from
time to time, subject to applicable law.

                           ARTICLE X - CORPORATE SEAL

The corporate seal, if any, shall be in such form as shall be approved from time
to time by the Board of Directors.

                             ARTICLE XI - AMENDMENTS

Section 1 - By Stockholders:

All By-Laws of the Corporation shall be subject to alteration or repeal, and new
By-Laws may be made, by the affirmative vote of stockholders holding of record
in the aggregate at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote
in the election of directors at any annual or special meeting of stockholders,
provided that the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting shall have
summarized or set forth in full therein, the proposed amendment.

Section 2 - By Directors:



                                       10
<PAGE>


The Board of Directors shall have power to make, adopt, alter, amend and repeal,
from time to time, By-Laws of the Corporation; provided, however, that the
stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto as in this Article XI
above-provided may alter, amend or repeal By-Laws made by the Board of
Directors, except that the Board of Directors shall have no power to change the
quorum for meetings of stockholders or of the Board of Directors, or to change
any provisions of the By-Laws with respect to the removal of directors or the
filing of vacancies in the Board resulting from the removal by the stockholders.
If any By-Law regulating an impending election of directors is adopted, amended
or repealed by the Board of Directors, there shall be set forth in the notice of
the next meeting of stockholders for the election of directors, the By-Law so
adopted, amended or repealed, together with a concise statement of the changes
made.

                             ARTICLE XII - INDEMNITY

The Corporation shall indemnify to the full extent authorized by law any person
made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, his
testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee or agent of the
Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation or serves or served any other
enterprise as a director, officer or employee or agent at the request of the
Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation.

                      ARTICLE XIII - CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Any conflicts of interest that may arise between the Corporation and the
interests of its officers and directors will be resolved in a fair manner which
will protect the interest of the Corporation pursuant to Delaware law. No
contract or other transaction between the Corporation and any of its directors
or any other entity in which one or more of the Corporation's directors are
directors or officers, or are financially or otherwise interested, will be
invalidated because of such relationship if (i) the fact of such relationship or
interest is disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or committee which
authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or
consent sufficient for the purpose without counting the votes or consents of the
interested director, (ii) the fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed
or known to the stockholders entitled to vote and the stockholders authorize,
approve or ratify the contract or transaction; or (iii) the contract or
transaction is fair and reasonable to the Corporation.
