of stockholders may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to
notice thereof, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by
any stockholder by his attendance thereat in person or by proxy, except when
the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the

meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice
of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all
respects as if due notice thereof had been given.
SECTION 8. QUORUM. At all meetings of stockholders, except where
otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by
these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the
holder or holders of not less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares
of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be
adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairman of the meeting or by
vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no
other business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present
at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may
continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the
withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as
otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws,
all action taken by the holders of a majority of the votes cast, excluding
abstentions, at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be valid and
binding upon the corporation; provided, however, that directors shall be
elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or
represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of
directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required,
except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such
class or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that
matter and, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the
majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of the votes
cast, including abstentions, by the holders of shares of such class or
classes or series shall be the act of such class or classes or series.
SECTION 9. ADJOURNMENT AND NOTICE OF ADJOURNED MEETINGS. Any meeting of
stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time
either by the chairman of the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the
shares casting votes, excluding abstentions. When a meeting is adjourned to
another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if
the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the
adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact
any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the
adjournment is for more than thirty (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.

same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary
is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the
instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it
is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following
effect: (a) if only one (1) votes, his act binds all; (b) if more than one
(1) votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one
(1) votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each
faction may vote the securities in question proportionally. If the instrument
filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal
interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of subsection (c) shall
be a majority or even-split in interest.
SECTION 12. LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS. The Secretary shall prepare and make,
at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list

signatory officer or officers, or other person or persons, to execute on
behalf of the corporation any corporate instrument or document, or to sign on
behalf of the corporation the corporate name without limitation, or to enter
into contracts on behalf of the corporation, except where otherwise provided
by law or these Bylaws, and such execution or signature shall be binding upon

12
<PAGE>
corporation, and other corporate instruments or documents requiring the
corporate seal, and certificates of shares of stock owned by the corporation,
shall be executed, signed or endorsed by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, or the President or any Vice President, and by the Secretary or
Treasurer or any Assistant Secretary or Assistant Treasurer. All other
instruments and documents requiring the corporate signature, but not
requiring the corporate seal, may be executed as aforesaid or in such other
manner as may be directed by the Board of Directors.
All checks and drafts drawn on banks or other depositaries on funds to the

ARTICLE VII
SHARES OF STOCK
SECTION 34. FORM AND EXECUTION OF CERTIFICATES. Certificates for the
shares of stock of the corporation shall be in such form as is consistent

stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by or
in the name of the corporation by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or
the President or any Vice President and by the Treasurer or Assistant
Treasurer or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, or anyone designated by
the Board of Directors certifying the number of shares owned by him in the
corporation. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be
facsimiles. 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 with the same effect as if he were
such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue. Each
certificate shall state upon the face or back thereof, in full or in summary,
all of the powers, designations, preferences, and rights, and the limitations
or restrictions of the shares authorized to be issued or shall, except as
otherwise required by law, set forth on the face or back 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. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of
uncertificated stock, the corporation shall send to the registered owner
thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth
or stated on certificates pursuant to this section or otherwise required by
law or with respect to
13
<PAGE>
this section 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. Except as otherwise expressly provided by
law, the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing
stock of the same class and series shall be identical.
SECTION 35. LOST CERTIFICATES. A new certificate or certificates shall
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. The corporation may require, as a
condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate or certificates, the
owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his
legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall
require or to give the corporation a surety bond in such form and amount 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 36. TRANSFERS. The corporation shall have power to enter into
and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more

entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any
adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record
date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution
fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record
date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the
date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors,
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. 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.
(b) In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or
allotment of any rights or the stockholders 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 record date shall not precede the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be
not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is
filed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose
shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors
adopts the resolution relating thereto.

SECTION 38. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS. The corporation shall be entitled
to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the
owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and shall

other corporate securities of the corporation, other than stock certificates
(covered in Section 34), may be signed by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, the President or any Vice President, or such other person as may
be authorized by the Board of Directors, and the corporate seal impressed
thereon or a facsimile of such seal imprinted thereon and attested by the
signature of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or the Chief Financial
Officer or Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer; provided, however, that where
any such bond, debenture or other corporate security shall be authenticated
by the manual signature, or where permissible facsimile signature, of a
trustee under an indenture pursuant to which such bond, debenture or other
corporate security shall be issued, the signatures of the persons signing and
attesting the corporate seal on such bond, debenture or other corporate
security may be the imprinted facsimile of the signatures of such persons.
Interest coupons appertaining to any such bond, debenture or other corporate
security, authenticated by a trustee as aforesaid, shall be signed by the
Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the corporation or such other person as
may be authorized by the Board of Directors, or bear imprinted thereon the
facsimile signature of such person. In case any officer who shall have signed
or attested any bond, debenture or other corporate security, or whose
facsimile signature shall appear thereon or on any such interest coupon,
shall have ceased to be such officer before the bond, debenture or other
corporate security so signed or attested shall have been delivered, such
bond, debenture or other corporate security nevertheless may be adopted by
the corporation and issued and delivered as though the person who signed the
same or whose facsimile signature shall have been used thereon had not
ceased to be such officer of the corporation.
ARTICLE IX

contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining
any property of
15

the corporation, or for such other purpose as the Board of Directors shall
think conducive to the interests of the corporation, and the Board of
Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it
was created.

ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 43. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, OTHER
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS.
(a) DIRECTORS OFFICERS. The corporation shall indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Delaware
General Corporation Law; provided, however, that the corporation may modify
the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors
and officers; and, provided, further, that the corporation shall not be
required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any
proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such
indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding
was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (iii) such
indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion,
pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the Delaware General
Corporation Law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under
subsection (d).
(b) EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS. The corporation shall have power
to indemnify its employees and other agents as set forth in the Delaware
General Corporation Law.
(c) EXPENSE. The corporation shall advance to 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, by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director or officer, of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of the corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final
disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all
expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to
repay said mounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is
not entitled to be indemnified under this Bylaw or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant
to paragraph (e) of this Bylaw, no advance shall be made by the corporation
to an officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such
officer is or was a director of the corporation in which event this paragraph
shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and
promptly made (i) by the
16
<PAGE>
Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to the proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable,
or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the
decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate
clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner
that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation.
(d) ENFORCEMENT. Without the necessity of entering into an express
contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and
officers under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be
effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the
corporation and the director or officer. Any right to indemnification or
advances granted by this Bylaw to a director or officer shall be enforceable
by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent
jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in
whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety
(90) days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if
successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense
of prosecuting his claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification,
the corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action
that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct that make it
permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the corporation to
indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by
an officer of the corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the
fact that such officer is or was a director of the corporation) for advances,
the corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action
clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a
manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed in the best
interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that
his conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its
Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have
made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that
indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has
met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General
Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including
its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that
the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a
defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the
applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or officer
to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses
hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or officer is not entitled
to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article XI
or otherwise shall be on the corporation.
(e) NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The rights conferred on any person
by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may
have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaws, 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 office. The corporation is
specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of
its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and
advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Delaware General
Corporation Law.
17
<PAGE>
(f) SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS. The rights conferred on any person by this
Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
(g) INSURANCE. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of
Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or
permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Bylaw.
(h) AMENDMENTS. Any repeal or modification of this Bylaw shall only
be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at
the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is
the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation.
(i) SAVING CLAUSE. If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer to the
full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Bylaw that shall
not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.
(j) CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of this Bylaw, the
following definitions shall apply:
(i) The term "proceeding" shall be broadly construed and
shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation,
prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the
giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative.

shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys' fees,

(iii) The term the "corporation" shall include, in addition
to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (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, officers and employees
or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent or another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the
provisions of this Bylaw with respect to the resulting or surviving
corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent
corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(iv) References to a "director," "executive officer,"
"officer," "employee," or "agent" of the corporation shall include,
without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the
request of the corporation as, respectively, a director, executive
officer,
18
<PAGE>
officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
(v) 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 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 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 Bylaw.

SECTION 44. NOTICES.
(a) NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS. Whenever, under any provisions of these
Bylaws, notice is required to be given to any stockholder, it shall be given
in writing, timely and duly deposited in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, and addressed to his last known post office address as shown by the
stock record of the corporation or its transfer agent.
(b) NOTICE TO DIRECTORS. Any notice required to be given to any
director may be given by the method stated in subsection (a), or by
facsimile, telex or telegram, except that such notice other than one which is
delivered personally shall be sent to such address as such director shall
have filed in writing with the Secretary, or, in the absence of such filing,
to the last known post office address of such director.
(c) AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING. An affidavit of mailing, executed by a duly
authorized and competent employee of the corporation or its transfer agent
appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, specifying the name
and address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, or
director or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given,
and the time and method of giving the same, shall in the absence of fraud, be
prima facie evidence of the facts therein contained.
(d) TIME NOTICES DEEMED GIVEN. All notices given by mail, as above
provided, shall be deemed to have been given as at the time of mailing, and
all notices given by facsimile, telex or telegram shall be deemed to have
been given as of the sending time recorded at time of transmission.

(f) FAILURE TO RECEIVE NOTICE. The period or limitation of time within
which any stockholder may exercise any option or right, or enjoy any
privilege or benefit, or be required to act, or within which any director may
exercise any power or right, or enjoy any privilege, pursuant to any notice
sent him in the manner above provided, shall not be affected or extended in
any manner by the failure of such stockholder or such director to receive
such notice.
(g) NOTICE TO PERSON WITH WHOM COMMUNICATION IS UNLAWFUL. Whenever
notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or of the
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, to any person with
whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person
shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental
authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such
person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to
any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force
and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the
action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a
certificate under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the

notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons
with whom communication is unlawful.

required to be given, under any provision of law or the Certificate of

notice of two consecutive annual meetings, and all notices of meetings or of
the taking of action by written consent without a meeting to such person
during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings, or (ii) all,
and at least two, payments (if sent by first class mail) of dividends or
interest on securities during a twelve-month period, have been mailed
addressed to such person at his address as shown on the records of the
corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice
to such person shall not be required. Any action or meeting which shall be
taken or held without notice to such person shall have the same force and
effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such person shall
deliver to the corporation a written notice setting forth his then current
address, the requirement that notice be given to such person shall be
reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as
to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, the certificate need not state that notice was not
given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to this
paragraph.
