Total revenues increased 32.0% to $37.2 million for the thirteen weeks
ended April 2, 1995 from $28.1 million for the same period last year.
Company-owned restaurant sales increased 35.4% to $33.9 million for the thirteen
weeks ended April 2, 1995 from $25.0 million for the same period last year due
primarily to a 21.4% growth in store operating weeks of full-service Pizzeria
Uno units and the acquisition of three Bay Street Grill restaurants.
Comparable-store sales for Pizzeria Uno full-service units for the thirteen
weeks ended April 2, 1995 were 5.8% above the same period last year.
Consumer product sales increased 3.2% to $2,244,700 for the thirteen
weeks
7
<PAGE> 8
ended April 2, 1995 from $2,174,700 for the same period last year. Sales growth
within the core New England region for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995
continued, especially of private label products, and test shipments of frozen
products outside of the New England market also continued.
Franchise income, which includes royalty income and initial franchise
fees, increased 8.7% to $1,033,400 for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995
from $951,000 for the same period last year. Royalty income increased 10.1% to
$1,008,400 from $916,000 for the same period last year due in part to
increases in franchise restaurant sales for the thirteen weeks ended April 2,
1995 and two new openings since the comparable period last year. Initial
franchise fees amounted to $25,000 for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995
compared to $35,000 for the same period last year.
Cost of food and beverages increased to 25.9% of restaurant and
consumer product sales for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995 from 25.4% for
the same period last year. This percentage cost increase reflected primarily
changes in sales mix toward a larger percentage of higher-cost non-pizza menu
items.
Labor and benefits increased as a percentage of restaurant and consumer
product sales to 31.6% for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995 compared to
31.1% for the same period last year due to initial periods of labor inefficiency
in connection with accelerated unit growth.
Occupancy costs declined as a percentage of restaurant and consumer
product sales from 16.4% for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995 to 14.6% for
the same period last year, due to the operating leverage provided by the
increase in comparable store sales as well as the Company's ownership of an
increasing number of fee owned properties.
Other operating costs declined as a percentage of restaurant and
consumer product sales to 8.3% for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995 from
9.3% for the same period last year, principally due to lower advertising
expenditures.
General and administrative costs as a percentage of total revenues for
the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995 remained relatively unchanged from the
same period last year.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased as a percentage of
restaurant and consumer product sales to 7.2% for the thirteen weeks ended April
2, 1995 from 6.8% for the same period last year due to an increase in
pre-opening amortization expense associated with the increased rate of unit
growth recently.
Operating income for the for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995
improved 43.9% to $2,555,000 from $1,775,000 for the same period last year, as
the operating margin for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995 increased to
6.9% from 6.3% for the same period last year.
Other expense of $583,000 for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995
increased from $292,000 for the same period last year, due principally to
higher interest costs relating to the increased level of debt used to fund the
Company's accelerated expansion plan and its ownership of an increasing number
of restaurant properties.
The effective income tax rate declined to 37.0% for the 13 weeks ended
April 2, 1995 from 40.5% in the comparable period in 1994. The effective income
tax
8
<PAGE> 9
rate for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 1995 was lower primarily due to the effect
of the FICA tip tax credit, which became effective on January 1, 1994 and
generally lower state income taxes.
Net income increased 40.9% for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 1995
to $1,243,000 from $882,000 for the same period last year based on
the factors noted above.

</TABLE>
Total revenue increased 31.0% to $73.1 million for the 26 weeks ended
April 2, 1995 from $55.8 million in the comparable period in 1994. Company-owned
restaurant sales increased 33.6% to $66.8 million for the 26 weeks ended April
2, 1995 due primarily to a 19.8% increase in operating weeks of full-service
Pizzeria Uno restaurants resulting from the addition of 14 restaurants during
the past four quarters, as well as the purchase of three Bay Street Grill
restaurants in December 1994. The increase in restaurant sales was also due to a
6.6% increase in comparable store sales for the 26 weeks ended April 2, 1995.
Consumer product sales increased 11.7% to $4.4 million for the 26 weeks
ended April 2, 1995 from $3.9 million in the comparable period in 1994 due to
higher sales of Pizzeria Uno brand and private label refrigerated pizza, as well
as increased shipments of frozen pizza for tests by customers outside New
England.
Franchise income increased 3.7% to $2.0 million for the 26 weeks ended
April 2, 1995 from $1.9 million in the comparable period in 1994. Royalty income
increased 7.8% to $2.0 for the 26 weeks ended April 2, 1995 generally due to an
increase in franchise restaurant sales. Initial franchise fees totaled $55,000
for the
9
<PAGE> 10
26 weeks ended April 2, 1995 compared to $125,000 in the comparable period in
1994.
Cost of food and beverages as a percentage of restaurant and consumer
product sales increased to 25.9% for the 26 weeks ended April 2, 1995 from 25.5%
in the comparable period in 1994. This percentage cost increase primarily
reflected changes in sales mix toward a larger percentage of higher-cost
non-pizza menu items.
Labor and benefits as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product
sales decreased slightly to 31.1% for the 26 weeks ended April 2, 1995 from
31.2% in the comparable period in 1994, principally due to the leverage of
higher comparable store sales.
Occupancy costs as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales
declined to 14.9% for the 26 weeks ended April 2, 1995 from 16.1% in the
comparable period in 1994, primarily due to an increased number of owned
restaurant properties and the operating leverage provided by the increase in
comparable store sales noted above.
Other operating costs declined as a percentage of restaurant and consumer
product sales to 8.7% for the 26 weeks ended April 2, 1995 from 9.4% in the
comparable period in 1994. The primary reasons for this improvement were lower
advertising expenses as a percentage of restaurant and consumer product sales
and the operating leverage provided by the increase in comparable store sales.
General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of total
revenues to 7.7% for the 26 weeks ended April 2, 1995 from 7.9% in the
comparable period in 1994 as a result of allocating certain fixed expenses over
a larger revenue base.
Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of restaurant and
consumer product sales increased slightly to 6.8% for the 26 weeks ended April
2, 1995 from 6.7% in the comparable period in 1994, principally due to increased
amortization of pre-opening costs associated with the higher rate of unit
growth.
Operating income increased 50.9% to $5.3 million for the 26 weeks ended
April 2, 1995 compared to $3.5 million in the comparable period in 1994. The
operating profit margin improved to 7.3% from 6.3%, primarily as a result of the
increase in Company-owned restaurants and comparable store sales.
Other expense increased to $954,000 or 1.3% as a percentage of total
revenues for the 26 weeks ended April 2, 1995 from $277,000 or .5% of total
revenues in the comparable period in 1994. This increase was due to higher
interest expense associated with the increased level of debt used to fund the
Company's accelerated expansion plan and its ownership of an increasing number
of restaurant properties. In addition, other expense in the comparable period in
1994 was favorably affected by a $312,000 gain on the sale of a restaurant to a
franchisee.
The effective income tax rate declined to 37.0% for the 26 weeks ended
April 2, 1995 from 40.5% in the comparable period in 1994. The effective income
tax rate for the 26 weeks ended April 2, 1995 was lower primarily due to the
effect of the FICA tip tax credit, which became effective on January 1, 1994 and
generally lower state income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The following table presents a summary of the Company's cash flows for the
26 weeks ended April 2, 1995.
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 5,930
Net cash used in investing activities (22,932)
Net cash provided by financing activities 16,255
--------
Increase (Decrease) in cash and cash equivalents (747)
========
</TABLE>
Historically, the Company has leased most of its restaurant locations and
pursued a strategy of controlled growth, financing its expansion principally
from operating cash flow, equity offerings and from the sale of senior,
unsecured notes and short-term borrowing under revolving lines of credit. During
the 26 week period ended April 2, 1995, the Company's investment in property,
equipment and leasehold improvements was $22.6 million.
The Company currently plans to open approximately 38 restaurants during
fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1996, 11 of which were open as of May 5, 1995. The
Company expects that the average cash investment required to open a full-service
Pizzeria Uno restaurant, excluding land and pre-opening costs, will be
approximately $1.5 million. For the balance of fiscal 1995, the Company has
planned $19.0 million in additional capital expenditures primarily for the
development of new restaurants.
As of April 2, 1995, the Company had outstanding indebtedness of $30.0
million under its unsecured, revolving line of credit, $6.7 million of senior,
unsecured notes and $847,000 in capital lease obligations. In December 1994, the
Company obtained a $50.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility to replace
its then existing $20.0 million revolving credit facility. The new revolving
credit facility will convert to a three year term loan in December 1997.
Advances under the revolving credit facility will accrue interest at the
lender's prime rate, or alternatively, 125 basis points above LIBOR. The Company
anticipates using the revolving credit facility in the future for repayment of
all or a portion of the $6.7 million of principal outstanding under its senior,
unsecured notes, for the development of additional restaurants, and for working
capital.
The Company believes that existing cash balances, cash generated from
operations and borrowings under its revolving line of credit will be sufficient
to satisfy the Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements
through fiscal 1995.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Inflation has not been a major factor in the Company's business for the
last several years. The Company believes it has historically been able to pass
on increased costs through menu price increases, but there can be no assurance
that it will be able to do so in the future. Future increases in local area
construction costs could adversely affect the Company's ability to expand.
SEASONALITY
The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with revenues and, to a
greater degree, operating income being lower in its first and second quarters
than its other quarters due to the Company's reduced winter volumes.

particular class of outstanding Voting Stock shall be in cash or
in the same form as the Related Person has paid for shares of

period, the Related Person has paid for shares of any class of
Voting Stock with varying forms of consideration, the form of

holders of each class of Voting Stock in such Business
Combination shall be at least equal to the higher of the
following (it being intended that the requirements of this
paragraph 2(ii) shall be met with respect to every such class of
Voting Stock outstanding, whether or not the Related Person has
previously acquired any shares of that particular class of Voting
Stock):

<PAGE> 8

Announcement Date; or

preferential amount per share to which the holders of shares
of such class of Voting Stock are entitled in the event of
any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation.

prior to the consummation of such Business Combination:
(a) except as approved by a majority of the Continuing
Directors, there shall have been no failure to declare and
pay at the regular date therefor any full quarterly
dividends (whether or not cumulative) on any outstanding

of dividends paid on the common stock (except as necessary

approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors, and (II)
an increase in such annual rate of dividends as necessary to
reflect any reclassification (including any reverse stock
split, recapitalization, reorganization or any similar
transaction which has the effect of reducing the number of
outstanding shares of the common stock), unless the failure
so to increase such annual rate of dividends is approved by
a majority of the Continuing Directors;
(c) such Related Person shall not have become the beneficial
owner of any newly issued shares of Voting Stock directly or
indirectly from the Corporation except as part of the
transaction which results in such Related Person becoming a
Related Person.

Related Person shall not have received the benefit, directly or

Person's capacity as a stockholder of the Corporation), of any
loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance
or any tax credits or other tax advantages provided by the
Corporation, whether in anticipation of or in connection with
such Business Combination or otherwise.

Combination and complying with the requirements of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (or any subsequent
provisions replacing such Act, rules or regulations) shall be
mailed to all stockholders of the Corporation at least 30 days
prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (whether
or not such proxy or information statement is required to be
mailed pursuant to the Exchange Act or subsequent provisions).
Such proxy or information statement shall contain on the front
thereof, prominently displayed, any recommendation as to the
advisability or inadvisability of the Business Combination which
the Continuing Directors, or any of them, may have furnished in
writing to the Board of Directors and/or shall contain an opinion
by an investment banking firm, selected by a majority of the
Continuing Directors, as to the fairness (or unfairness) of the
Business Combination to the stockholders of the Corporation, other
than the Related Person.
c) A majority of the total number of Continuing Directors shall have
the power and duty to determine, on the basis of information known to them after
reasonable inquiry, all facts necessary to determine compliance with this
Article Tenth including, without limitation, (1) whether a person is a Related
Person, (2) the number of shares of Voting Stock beneficially owned by any
person, (3) whether the applicable conditions set forth in paragraph (2) of
Section (b) have been met with respect to any Business Combination, and (4)
whether the assets which are the subject of any Business Combination or the
consideration received for the issuance or transfer of securities by the
Corporation or any Subsidiary in any Business Combination have an aggregate fair
market value in excess of 10% of the Corporation's total stockholders' equity as

51% of all Voting Stock voting together as a single class shall be required to
amend or repeal this Article Tenth, or to adopt any provision inconsistent

or right for less than two years prior to the date of such purchase, at a price
in excess of the Fair Market Value shall, except as hereinafter provided,
require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares
of Voting Stock, voting as a single class, excluding any votes cast with respect
to shares of Voting Stock beneficially owned by such Related Person. Such
affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be
required, or that a lesser percentage may be specified by law or any agreement
with any national securities exchange, or otherwise, but no such affirmative
vote shall be required with respect to any purchase or other acquisition of
securities made as part of (i) a tender or exchange offer by the Corporation to
purchase securities of the same class made on the same terms to all holders of
such securities and complying with the applicable requirements of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any successor rule or
regulation, (ii) pursuant to an open-market purchase program conducted in
accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or any successor rule or
regulation, or (iii) which is approved by a majority of the Continuing
Directors.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate of
Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
60% of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock,
voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, change, amend,
repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article Eleventh.

liquidation to elect additional Directors under specific circumstances, the
number of Directors shall initially be seven (7) and thereafter may be changed
from time to time exclusively by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution
adopted by a majority of the Continuing Directors or by the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least 60% of the shares of Voting Stock then outstanding. At
the annual meeting
-8-
<PAGE> 11
of stockholders held in 1988, the Directors, other than those who may be elected
by the holder of any class or series of stock having a preference over the
Voting Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, shall be divided into three
classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with the term of office of the
first class to expire at the 1989 annual meeting of stockholders, the term of
office of the second class to expire at the 1990 annual meeting of stockholders
and the term of office of the third class to expire at the 1991 annual meeting
of stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders following such initial
classification and election, the successors of those Directors whose terms
expire at that meeting shall be elected by a plurality vote of all votes cast at
such meeting for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual
meeting of stockholders after their election, unless by reason of any
intervening changes in the authorized number of Directors, the Board shall
designate one or more of the then expired directorships as directorships of
another class in order more nearly to achieve equality of number of Directors
among the classes.
2. If the number of Directors changes, any increase or decrease in
Directors shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain all classes
as equal in number as possible, and any additional Director elected to any class
shall hold office for a term which shall coincide with the terms of the other
Directors in such class and until his successor is duly elected and qualified.
(b) Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies
Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions
of this Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of
any class or series of stock having a preference over the Voting Stock as to
dividends or upon liquidation to elect Directors under specified circumstances,
newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of
Directors pursuant to Article Twelfth Section (a)(1) and any vacancies on the
Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal
or other cause shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
Continuing Directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board
of Directors. Any Director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence
shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of Directors
in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such
Director's successor shall have been elected and qualified. No decrease in the
number of Directors shall shorten the term of an incumbent Director.
(c) Removal
Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having
a preference over the Voting Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to
elect additional Directors under specified circumstances, any Director may be
removed from office
-9-
<PAGE> 12
only with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 60% of the
combined voting power of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together
as a single class or upon the vote of a majority of the Continuing Directors.
(d) Amendment, Repeal or Alteration
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
60% of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock,
voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, change, amend,
repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article Twelfth.
THIRTEENTH
The Board of Directors of the Corporation, when evaluating any offer of
another Person to (i) purchase or exchange any securities or property for any
outstanding equity securities of the Corporation, (ii) merge or consolidate the
Corporation with another corporation, or (iii) purchase or otherwise acquire all
or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Corporation, shall in
connection with the exercise of its judgment in determining what is in the best
interests of the Corporation and its stockholders, give due consideration not
only to the price or other consideration being offered, but also to all other
relevant factors, including but without limitation, the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the other Person; the possible effects on the
business of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and on the employees,
customers, suppliers and creditors of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and

located. In evaluating any such offer, the Board of Directors shall be deemed

the best interests of the Corporation.

ARTICLE I.
Stockholders
Section 1.1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the
stockholders of the corporation shall be held on such date, at such time and
place within or without the State of Delaware as may be designated in the notice
of meeting. If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall fall on a legal
holiday, the meeting shall be held on the next succeeding day not a legal
holiday. If the annual meeting is omitted on the day herein provided, a special
meeting may be held in place thereof, and any business transacted at such
special meeting in lieu of annual meeting shall have the same effect as if
transacted or held at the annual meeting.
Section 1.2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the
stockholders may be called at any time by the president or by the Board of
Directors. Special meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such time,
date and place within or outside of the State of Delaware as may be designated
in the notice of such meeting.
Section 1.3. Notice of Meeting. A written notice stating the
place, date, and hour of each meeting of the stockholders, and, in the case of a
special meeting, the purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given to
each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, and to each stockholder who,
under the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, is entitled to such
notice, by delivering such notice to such person or leaving it at their
residence or usual place of business, or by mailing it, postage prepaid, and
addressed to such stockholder at his address as it appears upon the books of the
corporation, at least ten (10) days and not more than sixty (60) before the
meeting. Such notice shall be given by the secretary, an assistant secretary,
or any other officer or person designated either by the secretary or by the
person or persons calling the meeting.
The requirement of notice to any stockholder may be waived by a
written waiver of notice, executed before or after the meeting by the
stockholder or his attorney thereunto duly authorized, and filed with the
records of the meeting, or if communication with such stockholder is unlawful,
or by attendance at the meeting without protesting prior thereto or at its
commencement the lack of notice. A waiver of notice of any regular or special
meeting of the stockholders need not specify the purposes of the meeting.
-1-
<PAGE> 5
If a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not
be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place are announced at the
meeting at which the adjournment is taken, except that if the adjournment is for
more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed
for the ad adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to
each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 1.4. Quorum. The holders of a majority in interest of all
stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting shall constitute a
quorum. Any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the
votes properly cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present.
Section 1.5. Voting and Proxies. Stockholders shall have one vote
for each share of stock entitled to vote owned by them of record according to
the books of the corporation, unless otherwise provided by law or by the
Certificate of Incorporation. Stockholders may vote either in person or by
written proxy, but no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from
its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Proxies shall be filed
with the secretary of the meeting, or of any adjournment thereof. Except as
otherwise limited therein, proxies shall entitle the persons authorized thereby
to vote at any adjournment of such meeting. A proxy purporting to be executed
by or on behalf of a stockholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or
prior to its exercise and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the
challenger. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name of two or more
persons shall be valid if executed by one of them unless at or prior to exercise
of the proxy the corporation receives a specific written notice to the contrary
from any one of them.
Section 1.6. Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present at any
meeting, a plurality of the votes properly cast for election to any office shall
elect to such office, and a majority of the votes properly cast upon any
question other than election to an office shall decide such question, except
where a larger vote is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or
these by-laws. No ballot shall be required for any election unless requested
by a stockholder present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote in
the election.
Section 1.7. Action Without Meeting. Any action required or
permitted to be taken at any meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a
meeting if the minimum number of stockholders necessary to authorize or take
such action and entitled to vote on the matter consent to the action in writing
and the consents are filed with the records of the meetings of stockholders.
Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote at a meeting.
Section 1.8. Voting of Shares of Certain Holders. Shares of stock
of the corporation standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or
foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent, or proxy as the by-laws of such
corporation may prescribe, or, in
-2-
<PAGE> 6
the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors of such corporation may
determine.
Shares of stock of the corporation standing in the name of a
deceased person, a minor ward or an incompetent person, may be voted by his
administrator, executor, court-appointed guardian or conservator without a
transfer of such shares into the name of such administrator, executor, court
appointed guardian or conservator. Shares of capital stock of the corporation
standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him.
Shares of stock of the corporation standing in the name of a
receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control
of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into
his name if authority so to do be contained in an appropriate order of the court
by which such receiver was appointed.
A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote
such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee,
and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.
Shares of its own stock belonging to this corporation shall not be
voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in
determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time, but shares
of its own stock held by the corporation in a fiduciary capacity may be voted
and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares.
Section 1.9. Stockholder Lists. The secretary (or the
corporation's transfer agent or other person authorized by these By-laws or by
law) shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of
stockholders, a complete list of the stock holders 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.
ARTICLE II.
Board of Directors
Section 2.1. Powers. Except as reserved to the stockholders by
law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-laws, the business of
the corporation shall be managed under the direction of the Board of Directors,
who shall have and may exercise
-3-
<PAGE> 7
all of the powers of the corporation. In particular, and without limiting the
foregoing, the Board of Directors shall have the power to issue or reserve for
issuance from time to time the whole or any part of the capital stock of the
corporation which may be authorized from time to time to such person, for such
consideration and upon such terms and conditions as they shall determine,
including the granting of options, warrants or conversion or other rights to
stock.
Section 2.2. Number of Directors; Qualifications. The number of
Directors on the Board of Directors shall be determined as provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation. No Director need be a
stockholder.
Section 2.3. Nomination of Directors.
(a) Nominations for the election of Directors may be made by
the Board of Directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote for the election
of Directors. Nominations by stockholders shall be made by notice in writing,
delivered or mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the
secretary of the corporation not less than 14 days nor more than 50 days prior
to any meeting of the stockholders called for the election of Directors;
provided, however, that if less than 21 days' notice of the meeting is given to
stockholders, such written notice shall be delivered or mailed, as prescribed,
to the secretary of the corporation not later than the close of the seventh day
following the day on which notice of the meeting was mailed to stock holders.
(b) Each notice under subsection (a) shall set forth (i) the
name, age, business address and, if known, residence address of each nominee
proposed in such notice, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of each
such nominee, and (iii) the number of shares of stock of the corporation which
are beneficially owned by each such nominee.
(c) The chairman of the meeting of stockholders may, if the
facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not
made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine,
he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be
disregarded.
Section 2.4. Election of Directors. The initial Board of Directors
shall be elected by the incorporator(s) at the first meeting thereof and
thereafter by the stockholders at their annual meeting or at any special
meeting the notice of which specifies the election of Directors as an item of
business for such meeting.
The Directors of the corporation shall be divided into three
classes; Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist as nearly
as may be possible, of one-third of the whole number of the Board of Directors.
In the election of Directors at the 1988 Annual Meeting of the stockholders, the
Class I
-4-
<PAGE> 8
Directors shall be elected to hold office for a term to expire at the first
annual meeting of the stockholders thereafter; the Class II Directors shall be
elected to hold office for a term to expire at the second annual meeting of the
stockholders thereafter; and the Class III Directors shall be elected to hold
office for a term to expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders
thereafter; and in the case of each class, until their respective successors are
duly elected and qualified. At each annual election held after the 1988 annual
meeting of the stockholders, the Directors elected to succeed those whose terms
expire shall be identified as being the same class as the Directors they succeed
and shall be elected to hold office for a term to expire at the third annual
meeting of the stockholders after their election, and until their respective
successors are duly elected and qualified. If the number of Directors changes,
any increase or decrease in Directors shall be apportioned among the classes so
as to maintain all classes as equal in number as possible, and any additional
Director elected to any class shall hold office for a term which shall coincide
with the terms of the other Directors in such class and until his successor is
duly elected and qualified.
Section 2.5. Vacancies; Reduction of the Board. Any vacancy in the
Board of Directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from the
enlargement of the Board of Directors, shall be filled as provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation.
Section 2.6. Enlargement of the Board. The Board of Directors may
be enlarged as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation.
Section 2.7. Tenure and Resignation. Except as otherwise provided
by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-laws, Directors shall
hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders at which their term expires
and thereafter until their successors are chosen and qualified. Any Director
may resign by delivering or mailing postage prepaid a written resignation to the
corporation at its principal office or to the president, secretary or assistant
secretary, if any. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it
is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some
other event.
Section 2.8. Removal. A Director, whether elected by the
stockholders or Directors, may be removed from office in the manner provided by
the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation.
Section 2.9. Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors
may be held without call or notice at such times and such places within or
without the State of Delaware as the Board may, from time to time, determine,
provided that notice of the first regular meeting following any such
determination shall be given to Directors absent from such determination. A
regular
-5-
<PAGE> 9
meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held without notice immediately
after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of the stockholders or the
special meeting of the stockholders held in place of such annual meeting, unless
a quorum of the Directors is not then present. Special meetings of the Board of
Directors may be held at any time and at any place designated in the call of the
meeting when called by the president, treasurer, or one or more Directors.
Members of the Board of Directors or any committee elected thereby may
participate in a meeting of such board or committee by means of a conference
telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time, and
participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
Section 2.10. Notice of Meeting. It shall be sufficient notice to
a Director to send notice by mail at least seventy-two (72) hours before the
meeting addressed to such person at his usual or last known business or
residence address or to give notice to such person in person or by telephone at
least twenty-four (24) hours before the meeting. Notice shall be given by the
secretary, assistant secretary, if any, or by the officer or Directors calling
the meeting. The requirement of notice to any Director may be waived by a
written waiver of notice, executed by such person before or after the meeting or
meetings, and filed with the records of the meeting, or by attendance at the
meeting without protesting prior thereto or at its commencement the lack of
notice. A notice or waiver of notice of a Directors' meeting need not specify
the purposes of the meeting.
Section 2.11. Agenda. Any lawful business may be transacted at a
meeting of the Board of Directors, notwithstanding the fact that the nature of
the business may not have been specified in the notice or waiver of notice of
the meeting.
Section 2.12. Quorum. At any meeting of the Board of Directors, a
majority of the Directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business. Any meeting may be adjourned by a majority of the
votes cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present, and the
meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.
Section 2.13. Action at Meeting. Any motion adopted by vote of the
majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present
shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except where a different vote is
required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-laws. The
assent in writing of any Director to any vote or action of the Directors taken
at any meeting, whether or not a quorum was present and whether or not the
Director had or waived notice of the meeting, shall have the same effect as if
the Director so assenting was present at such meeting and voted in favor of such
vote or action.
-6-
<PAGE> 10
Section 2.14. Action Without Meeting. Any action by the Directors
may be taken without a meeting if all of the Directors consent to the action in
writing and the consents are filed with the records of the Directors' meetings.
Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote of the Directors at a
meeting.
Section 2.15. Committees. The Board of Directors may, by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, appoint an
executive committee or other committees consisting of one or more Directors and
may by vote delegate to any such committee some or all of their powers except
those which by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws they may
not delegate. Unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise provide, any such
committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise
provided by the Board of Directors or such rules, its meetings shall be called,
notice given or waived, its business conducted or its action taken as nearly as
may be in the same manner as is provided in these By-laws with respect to
meetings or for the conduct of business or the taking of actions by the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors shall have power at any time to fill
vacancies in, change the membership of, or discharge any such committee at any
time. The Board of Directors shall have power to rescind any action of any
committee, but no such rescission shall have retroactive effect.

Section 3.6. Resignation. Any officer may resign by delivering or

Section 3.10. Vice-President(s). The vice-president(s), if any,
shall have such powers and perform such duties as the Board of Directors may
from time to time determine.
Section 3.11. Treasurer and Assistant Treasurers. The treasurer,

Section 3.12. Secretary and Assistant Secretaries. The secretary

notify the stockholders and Directors, when required by law or by these By-laws,
of their respective meetings, and shall perform such other duties as the

have the custody and charge of the corporate seal, and shall affix the seal of
the corporation to all instruments requiring such seal, and shall certify under
the corporate seal the proceedings of the Directors and of the stockholders,
when required. In the absence of the secretary at any such meeting, a temporary

aforesaid books.
Assistant secretaries, if any, shall have such powers and perform
such duties as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.
Section 3.13. Other Powers and Duties. Subject to these By-laws

ARTICLE IV.
Capital Stock
Section 4.1. Stock Certificates. Each stockholder shall be
entitled to a certificate representing the number of shares of the capital stock
of the corporation owned by such person in such form as shall, in conformity to
law, be prescribed from time to time by the Board of Directors. Each
certificate shall be signed by the president or vice-president and secretary or
assistant secretary or such other officers designated by the Board of Directors
from time to time as permitted by law, shall bear the seal of the corporation,
and shall express on its face its number, date of issue, class, the number of
shares for which, and the name of the person to whom, it is issued. The
corporate seal and any or all of the signatures of corporation officers may be
facsimile if the stock certificate is manually counter-signed by an authorized
person on behalf of a transfer agent or registrar other than the corporation or
its employee.
-9-
<PAGE> 13
If an officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose
facsimile signature has been placed on, a certificate shall have ceased to be
such before the 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
time of its issue.
Section 4.2. Transfer of Shares. Title to a certificate of stock
and to the shares represented thereby shall be transferred only on the books of
the corporation by delivery to the corporation or its transfer agent of the
certificate properly endorsed, or by delivery of the certificate accompanied by
a written assignment of the same, or a properly executed written power of
attorney to sell, assign or transfer the same or the shares represented thereby.
Upon surrender of a certificate for the shares being transferred, a new
certificate or certificates shall be issued according to the interests of the
parties.
Section 4.3. Record Holders. Except as otherwise may be required
by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-laws, the corporation
shall be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as
the owner of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and
the right to vote with respect thereto, regardless of any transfer, pledge or
other disposition of such stock, until the shares have been transferred on the
books of the corporation in accordance with the requirements of these By-laws.
It shall be the duty of each stockholder to notify the corporation
of his post office address.
Section 4.4. Record Date. In order that the corporation may
determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of or to vote at any
meeting of stockholders or any adjournments 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 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 sixty days prior to any
other action. In such case only stockholders of record on such record date
shall be so entitled notwithstanding any transfer of stock on the books of the
corporation after the record date.
If no record date is fixed: (i) the record date for determining
stockholders entitled to receive 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; (ii) the record
date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate
action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of
Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which
-10-
<PAGE> 14
the first written consent is expressed; and (iii) 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.
Section 4.5. Transfer Agent and Registrar for Shares of
Corporation. The Board of Directors may appoint a transfer agent and a
registrar of the certificates of stock of the corporation. Any transfer agent so
appointed shall maintain, among other records, a stockholders' ledger, setting
forth the names and ad dresses of the holders of all issued shares of stock of
the corporation, the number of shares held by each, the certificate numbers
representing such shares, and the date of issue of the certificates representing
such shares. Any registrar so appointed shall maintain, among other records, a
share register, setting forth the total number of shares of each class of shares
which the corporation is authorized to issue and the total number of shares
actually issued. The stockholders' ledger and the share register are hereby
identified as the stock transfer books of the corporation; but as between the
stockholders' ledger and the share register, the names and addresses of
stockholders, as they appear on the stockholders' ledger maintained by the
transfer agent shall be the official list of stockholders of record of the
corporation. The name and address of each stockholder of record, as they appear
upon the stockholders' ledger, shall be conclusive evidence of who are the
stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meetings of stockholders, to
vote at such meetings, to examine a complete list of the stockholders entitled
to vote at meetings, and to own, enjoy and exercise any other property or rights
deriving from such shares against the corporation. Stockholders, but not the
corporation, its Directors, officers, agents or attorneys, shall be responsible
for notifying the transfer agent, in writing, of any changes in their names or
addresses from time to time, and failure to do so will relieve the corporation,
its other stockholders, Directors, officers, agents and attorneys, and its
transfer agent and registrar, of liability for failure to direct notices or
other documents, or pay over or transfer dividends or other property or rights,
to a name or address other than the name and address appearing in the
stockholders' ledger maintained by the transfer agent.
Section 4.6. Loss of Certificates. In case of the loss,
destruction or mutilation of a certificate of stock, a replacement certificate
may be issued in place thereof upon such terms as the Board of Directors may
prescribe, including, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, a
requirement of bond and indemnity to the corporation.
Section 4.7. Restrictions on Transfer. Every certificate for shares
of stock which are subject to any restriction on transfer, whether pursuant to
the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-laws or any agreement to which the
corporation is a party, shall have the fact of the restriction noted
conspicuously on the certificate and shall also set forth on the face or back
either the full text of the restriction or a statement that the corporation will
-11-
<PAGE> 15
furnish a copy to the holder of such certificate upon written request and
without charge.
Section 4.8. Miscellaneous. The amount and classes of the capital
stock and the par value, if any, of the shares, shall be as fixed in the
Certificate of Incorporation. At all times when there are two or more classes
of stock, the several classes of stock shall conform to the description and the
terms and have the respective preferences, voting powers, restrictions and
qualifications set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and these By-laws.
Every certificate issued when the corporation is authorized to issue more than
one class or series of stock shall set forth on its face or back either (i) the
full text of the preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special and
relative rights of the shares of each class and series authorized to be issued,
or (ii) a statement of the existence of such preferences, powers, qualifications
and rights, and a statement that the corporation will furnish a copy thereof to
the holder of such certificate upon written request and without charge.
ARTICLE V.
Dividends
Section 5.1. Declaration of Dividends. Except as otherwise
required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors
may, in its discretion, declare what, if any, dividends shall be paid from the
surplus or from the net profits of the corporation upon the stock of the
corporation; provided, however, that no dividend shall be declared or paid the
payment of which would diminish the amount of the paid-in capital of the
corporation. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, in shares of the
corporation's stock, or in any combination thereof. Dividends shall be payable
upon such dates as the Board of Directors may designate.
Section 5.2. Reserves. Before the payment of any dividend and
before making any distribution of profits, the Board of Directors, from time to
time and in its absolute discretion, shall have power to set aside out of the
surplus or net profits of the corporation such sum or sums as the Board of
Directors deems proper and sufficient as a reserve fund to meet contingencies
or for such other purpose as the Board of Directors shall deem to be in the best
interests of the corporation, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish
any such reserve.
ARTICLE VI.
Powers of Officers to Contract
With the Corporation
Any and all of the Directors and officers of the corporation,
notwithstanding their official relations to it, may enter into and perform any
contract or agreement of any nature between the
-12-
<PAGE> 16
corporation and themselves, or any and all of the individuals from time to time
constituting the Board of Directors of the corporation, or any firm or
corporation in which any such Director may be interested, directly or
indirectly, whether such individual, firm or corporation thus contracting with
the corporation shall thereby derive personal or corporate profits or benefits
or otherwise; provided, that (i) the material facts of such interest are
disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or committee thereof which
authorizes such contract or agreement; (ii) if the material facts as to such
person's relationship or interest are disclosed or are known to the stockholders
entitled to vote thereon, and the contract is specifically approved in good
faith by a vote or the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or agreement is fair
as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by
the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders. Any Director
of the corporation who is interested in any transaction as aforesaid may
nevertheless be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting
of the Board of Directors which shall authorize or ratify any such transaction.
This Article shall not be construed to invalidate any contract or other
transaction which would otherwise be valid under the common or statutory law
applicable thereto.
ARTICLE VII.
Indemnification
Section 7.1. Definitions. For purpose of this Article VII:
(a) "Covered Person" means an individual: (i) who is a
present or former Director, officer, agent or employee of the corporation or who
serves or served another corporation, partner ship, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise in one of those capacities or as
trustee, partner or fiduciary at the request of the corporation; and (ii) who
by reason of his position was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to a
Proceeding. It shall also include such person's heirs, executors and
administrators.
(b) "Proceeding" includes any threatened, pending, or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
or investigative, and any claim which could be the subject of such a proceeding.
(c) "Disinterested Director" means a Director who is not a
real party in interest to the Proceeding in question.
(d) "Expenses" means liabilities, including but not limited
to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises or as fines or

-13-
<PAGE> 17
Section 7.2. Actions in Name of the Corporation or Stock holder.
The corporation shall indemnify any Covered Person against all Expenses incurred
in connection with the defense or disposition of any Proceeding by or in the
name of the corporation or any stockholder in his capacity as such if the
Covered Person acted in good faith, and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such
Covered Person has been adjudicated liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his duty to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that,
the court deciding the action determines that such Covered Person is entitled to
indemnification.
Such indemnification may be provided in connection with a Proceeding
in which it is claimed that an officer or Director received an improper personal
benefit by reason of his position, regardless of whether the claim involves his
service in such capacity, subject to the foregoing limitations and to the
additional limitation that it shall not have been finally determined that an
improper personal benefit was received by the Director or officer.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, if any
Covered Person has been wholly successful on the merits in the defense of any
Proceeding by or in the name of the corporation or any stockholder in his
capacity as such, such Covered Person shall be indemnified by the corporation
against all Expenses incurred by him in connection therewith.
Section 7.3. Other Actions. The corporation shall indemnify any
Covered Person against any Expenses incurred in connection with the defense or
disposition of any Proceeding other than a proceeding of the type described in
Section 7.2 if the Covered Person acted in good faith, in a manner he 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 conduct was unlawful.
Section 7.4. Determination of Indemnification. Any indemnification
hereunder, other than advancement of attorney's fees or costs of defense under
Section 7.5, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper
in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in Sections 7.2 or 7.3 hereunder.
Such determination shall be made:
(a) By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of Disinterested Directors, or
-14-
<PAGE> 18
(b) 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
(c) By the stockholders, by the vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding stock at the time entitled
to vote for directors, voting as a single class,
exclusive of any stock owned by any director or officer
who is a real party in interest to the Proceeding in
question.
Section 7.5. Advances of Attorney's Fees and Other Costs. The
corporation shall advance attorney's fees or other Expenses reasonably incurred
by a Covered Person in defending a Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by
or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay the amount advanced if it shall
ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation for such fees and Expenses under Delaware law. Any ultimate
determination of dispute concerning indemnification shall be made by the
Delaware Court of Chancery. The corporation shall advance all fees incurred by
a Covered Person in connection with any Proceeding within twenty (20) days after
receipt by the corporation of evidence of the incurring of such costs. Any
advances and undertakings to repay hereunder shall be unsecured and interest
free. Advances hereunder shall not require approval of the Board of Directors,
stockholders, or any other person or body.
Section 7.6. Presumptions upon Termination of Proceeding. The
termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or
upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that a person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, did not
have reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful.
Section 7.7. Indemnification Not Exclusive. The right of
indemnification provided by this Article VII shall not be exclusive of or
affect any other rights to which such Covered Person may be entitled by law,
under the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation, under any
indemnification agreement with the corporation or otherwise.
Section 7.8. Indemnification Agreements. The corporation shall
have the express authority to enter into such agreements as the Board of
Directors deems appropriate for the indemnification of present or future
directors and officers of the corporation in connection with their service to,
or status with, the corporation or any other corporation, entity or enterprise
with whom such person is serving at the express written request of the
corporation.
-15-
<PAGE> 19
Section 7.9. Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on its behalf and on behalf of any Covered Person against any
liability asserted against such Covered Person and incurred by him in any
capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the
provisions of this Article VII.
Section 7.10. Employee Benefit Plans. If the corporation or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates sponsors any employee benefit plan, and any
Covered Person undertakes or incurs any responsibility as a fiduciary with
respect thereto then, for purposes of indemnification of such Covered Person
under this Article VII, (i) such Covered Person shall be deemed not to have
failed to have acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that his action
was in the best interests of the corporation if he acted in good faith and in
the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the
participants or beneficiaries of said plan, and (ii) "Expenses" shall be deemed
to include any taxes or penalties assessed on such Covered Person with respect
to said plan under applicable law.
ARTICLE VIII.

Section 8.6. Evidence of Authority. A certificate by the secretary
or any assistant secretary as to any action taken by the stockholders, Directors
or any officer or representative of the corporation shall, as to all persons who
rely thereon in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such action. The exercise
of any power which by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these
By-laws, or under any vote of the stockholders or the Board of Directors, may be
exercised by an officer of the corporation only in the event of absence of
another officer or any other contingency shall bind the corporation in favor of
anyone relying thereon in good faith, whether or not such absence or contingency
existed.

corporation, or at an office of the corporation, or at an office of its
transfer agent or of the secretary or of the assistant secretary, if any. Said
copies and records need not all be kept in the same office. They shall be

purpose but not to secure a list of stockholders for the purpose of selling said
list or copies thereof or for using the same for a purpose other than in the
interest of the applicant, as a stockholder, relative to the affairs of the
corporation.
Section 8.8. Charitable Contributions. The Board of Directors
from time to time may authorize contributions to be made by the corporation in
such amounts as it may determine to be reason able to corporations, trusts,
funds or foundations organized and operated exclusively for charitable,
scientific or educational purposes, no part of the net earning of which inures
to the private benefit of any stockholder or individual.
