registered in the name of each Shareholder. The Corporation

Shareholder for any purpose germane to the meetings either
at a place within the city where the meeting will take place
or at the place designated in the notice of the meeting. The
Secretary shall produce and keep the list at the meeting
during the entire duration of the meeting, and any
Shareholder who is present may inspect the list at the
meeting. The list shall constitute presumptive proof of the

determination of Shareholders entitled to vote at any
meeting of Shareholders pursuant to this Section shall apply
to any adjournment thereof.

  3.11. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date.
        ------------------------------------------------------
For the purpose of determining Shareholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at any meeting of Shareholders or any
adjournment thereof, or Shareholders entitled to receive
payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination
of Shareholders for any other proper purposes the Board or a
committee of the Board may provide that the Corporation
shall close the stock transfer books for a stated period not

transfer books for the purpose of determining Shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
Shareholders, the Corporation shall close such books a
minimum of 10 days and a maximum of 60 days immediately
preceding such meeting.

     In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board
or a committee of the Board may fix in advance a date as the
record date for any such determination of Shareholders.
However, the Board shall not fix such date, in any case,
more than 60 days prior to the date of the particular
action.

<PAGE>  4

     If the Board or a committee of the Board does not
close the stock transfer books and does not fix a record
date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders, the date
of the mailing of notice of the date on which the Board
adopts the resolution declaring a dividend, as the case may
be, shall be the record date for such determination of
Shareholders.

  3.12. Voting of Shares. Each Shareholder shall have one
        -----------------
vote for every share of stock having voting rights
registered in his name on the record date for the meeting.
The Corporation shall not have the right to vote treasury
stock of the Corporation, nor shall another corporation have
the right to vote its stock of the Corporation if the
Corporation holds, directly or indirectly, a majority of the
shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such
other corporation. Persons holding stock of the Corporation
in a fiduciary capacity shall have the right to vote such
stock. Persons who have pledged their stock of the
Corporation shall have the right to vote such stock unless
in the transfer on the books of the Corporation the pledgor
expressly empowered the pledgee to vote such stock. In that
event, only the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent such
stock and vote thereon.

     A plurality of the votes cast shall determine all
elections of directors and, except when the law or the
Certificate of Incorporation requires otherwise, a majority
of the votes cast shall determine all other matters.

     The Shareholders may vote by voice vote on all
matters.  However, upon demand by a Shareholder entitled to
vote, or his proxy, the Shareholders shall vote by ballot.
In that event, each ballot shall state the name of the
Shareholder or proxy voting the number of shares voted and
such other information as the Corporation may require under
the procedure established for the meeting.

  3.13. Judges. At any meeting in which the Shareholders vote
        --------
by ballot, the chairman may appoint a judge or judges. Each
judge shall subscribe an oath to execute the duties of a
judge at such meeting faithfully, with strict impartiality,
and according to the best of his ability. The judge or
judges shall decide the qualification of the voters and
shall report the number of shares represented at the meeting
and entitled to vote on any question, shall conduct and
accept the votes, and, when the Shareholders have completed
voting, ascertain and report the number of shares voted
respectively for and against the question. The judge or
judges shall prepare a subscribed, written report and shall
deliver the report to the Secretary of the Corporation. A
judge need not be a Shareholder of the Corporation, and any
officer of the Corporation may be a judge on any question
other than a vote for or against a proposal in which he has
a material interest.

<PAGE>  5

  3.14. Proxies. A Shareholder may exercise any voting rights
        ---------
in person or by his proxy appointed by an instrument in
writing, which he or his authorized attorney-in-fact has
subscribed and which the proxy has delivered to the
secretary of the meeting.

     A proxy is not valid after the expiration of three
years after the date of its execution, unless the person
executing it specifies thereon the length of time for which
it is to continue in force(which length may exceed three
years) or limits its use to a particular meeting.

     The attendance at any meeting of a Shareholder who
previously has given a proxy shall not have the effect of
revoking the same unless he notifies the Secretary in
writing prior to the voting of the proxy.

  3.15. Consent of Shareholders in Lieu of Meeting. The
        -------------------------------------------
Shareholders may take any action which they could take at
any annual or special meeting without a meeting, prior
notice and a vote if the holders of outstanding stock having
not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to
authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all
shares entitled to vote were present and voted sign, a
consent in writing, setting forth the action taken.

     The Secretary or an Assistant Secretary shall give
prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action without
a meeting by less than unanimous consent to the Shareholders
who have not consented in writing.

disqualification or any other cause in the manner which
these Bylaws prescribe for the regular appointment to such
office.

                  ARTICLE VIII

    CONTRACTS, LOANS, DRAFTS, DEPOSITS AND ACCOUNTS
    ------------------------------------------------

  8.01. Contracts. The Board may authorize any officer or
        ----------
officers, agent or agents, to enter into any contract or
execute and deliver any instrument in the name and on behalf
of the certificates in the name of the Corporation. Any or
all certificates may contain facsimile signatures. In case
any officer, transfer agent, or registrar, who has signed a
certificate, or whose facsimile signature appears on a
certificate, ceases to serve as such officer, transfer
agent, or registrar before the Corporation issues the
certificate, the Corporation may issue the certificate with
the same effect as though the person who signed such
certificate, or whose facsimile signature appears on the
certificate, was such officer, transfer agent, or registrar
at the date of issue. The Secretary, transfer agent, or
registrar of the Corporation shall keep a record in the
stock transfer books of the Corporation of the names of the
persons, firms or corporations owning the stock represented
by the certificates, the number and class of shares
represented by the certificates and the dates thereof and,
in the case of cancellation, the dates of cancellation. The
Secretary, transfer agent, or registrar of the Corporation
shall cancel every certificate surrendered to the
Corporation for exchange or transfer. Except in the case of
a lost, destroyed or mutilated certificate, the Secretary,
transfer agent, or registrar of the Corporation shall not
issue a new certificate in exchange for an existing
certificate until he has cancelled the existing certificate.

  8.02. Transfer of Shares. The holder of record of shares of
        -------------------
the Corporation's stock, or his attorney-in-fact authorized
by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the
Secretary, transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation,
may transfer his shares only on the stock transfer books of
the Corporation. Such person shall furnish to the Secretary,
transfer agent, or registrar of the corporation

<PAGE>  12

proper evidence of his authority to make the transfer and
shall properly endorse and surrender for cancellation his
existing certificate or certificates for such shares.
Whenever the holder of record of shares of the Corporation's
stock makes a transfer of shares for collateral security,
the Secretary, transfer agent, or registrar of the
Corporation shall state such fact in the entry of transfer
if the transferor and the transferee request.

  8.03. Lost, Stolen, Destroyed and Mutilated Certificates.
        ----------------------------------------------------
The Board may direct the Secretary, transfer agent, or
registrar of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to
any holder of record of shares of the Corporation's stock
claiming that he has lost such certificate, or that someone
has stolen, destroyed or mutilated such certificate, upon
the receipt of an affidavit from such holder to such fact.
When authorizing the issue of a new certificate, the
Board, in its discretion, may require as a condition
precedent to the issuance that the owner of such certificate
give the Corporation a bond of indemnity in such form and
amount as the Board may direct.

  8.04. Regulations. The Board may make such rules and
        -------------
Regulations, not inconsistent with these Bylaws, as it deems
expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of
certificates for shares of the stock of the Corporation. The
Board may appoint or authorize any officer or officers to
appoint one or more transfer agent, or one or more
registrar, and may require all certificates for stock to
bear the signature or signatures of any of them.

  8.05. Holder of Record. The Corporation may treat as
        ----------------
absolute owners of shares the person in whose name the
shares stand of record as if that person had full
competency, capacity and authority to exercise all rights of
ownership, despite any knowledge or notice to the contrary
or any description indicating a representative pledge or
other fiduciary relation, or any reference to any other
instrument or to the rights of any other person appearing
upon its record or upon the share certificate. However, the
Corporation shall treat any person furnishing proof of his
appointment as a fiduciary as if he were the holder of
record of the shares.

  8.06. Treasury Shares. Treasury shares of the Corporation
        ----------------
shall consist of shares which the Corporation has issued and
thereafter acquired but not cancelled. Treasury shares shall
not carry voting or dividend rights.

<PAGE>  13

  9.01. Actions Other Than By or In the Right of the Corpora-
        -----------------------------------------------------
tion. The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation)
by reason of the fact that he is or was a shareholder,
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as
a member of any committee or similar body, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he
acted in good faith and 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. The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or
upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not
create, of itself, a presumption that the 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, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.

  9.02. Actions By or In the Right of the Corporation.
        -----------------------------------------------
The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of
the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason
of the fact that he is or was a shareholder, director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a shareholder,
director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, or as a member of any committee or similar body,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interest of the Corporation, except that
the Corporation shall make no indemnification in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall
have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct
in the performance of his duty to the Corporation unless and
only to the extent that the court in which such action or
suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the
court shall deem proper.

  9.03. Determination of Right of Indemnification.
        -------------------------------------------
The Corporation shall not indemnify any person under Section
9.01 or Section 9.02, in the absence of a court order,
unless authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that the director, officer, employee or agent

<PAGE>  14

has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
Section 9.01 or Section 9.02. One of the following shall
make the determination: (a) the Board, by a majority vote of
a quorum of directors not a party to the actions, suit or
proceeding; (b) absent a quorum or at the direction of a
quorum of disinterested directors, independent legal
counsel, by a written opinion; or (c) the Shareholders.

  9.04. Indemnification Against Expenses of Successful Party.
        -----------------------------------------------------
 Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 9, to
the extent that a shareholder, director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any actions, suit or
proceeding referred to in Section 9.01 or Section 9.02 of
these Bylaws, or in defense of any claims, issue or matter
therein the Corporation shall indemnify him against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) which he actually and reasonably
has incurred in connection therewith.

  9.05. Advance of Expenses. If the Corporation ultimately
        ----------------------
determines that the Corporation should not indemnify any
person pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9, the
Corporation nevertheless may pay his expenses incurred in
defending an action or proceeding in advance of the final
disposition of such action or proceeding upon specific
authorization by the Board and upon his delivery to the
Board of an undertaking to repay such amount.

  9.06. Other Rights and Remedies. The indemnification
        -------------------------
provided by this Article 9 shall not be deemed exclusive and
is declared expressly to be nonexclusive of any other rights
to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under
any bylaws, agreements, vote of Shareholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to actions in
his official capacity and as to actions in another capacity
while holding such office. In addition, the indemnification
provided by this Article 9 shall continue as to any person
who has ceased to be a directors, officers, employee or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of such a person.

  9.07. Insurance. Upon resolution passed by the Board, the
        ----------
Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a shareholder, director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as
a member of any committee of similar body, against any
liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any
such 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
9.

<PAGE>  15

  9.08. Constituent Corporations. For the purposes of this
        --------------------------
Article 9, references to "the Corporation" 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 of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise or as a member of any committee or similar
body, shall stand in the same position under the provisions
of this Article 9 with respect to the resulting or surviving
corporation as he would have with respect to such
constituent corporation if its existence had continued.

  9.09. Other Insurance. The Corporation shall reduce the
        ----------------
amount of the indemnification of any person pursuant to the
provisions of this Article IX by the amount which such
person collects as indemnification (a) under any policy of
insurance which the Corporation purchased and maintained on
his behalf or (b) from another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

  9.10. Public Policy . Nothing contained in this Article XI,
        ---------------
or elsewhere in these Bylaws, shall operate to indemnify any
director or officer if such indemnification is contrary to
law, either as a matter of public policy, or under the
provisions of the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
any other applicable state of Federal law.

                   ARTICLE X

                   NOTICES
                   --------

  10.01. General. Whenever these Bylaws require notice to any
        ---------
Shareholder, director, officer or agent, such notice does
not mean personal notice. A person may give effective notice
under these Bylaws in every case by depositing a writing in
a post office or letter box in a postpaid, sealed wrapper,
or by dispatching a prepaid telegram addressed to such
Shareholder, director, officer or agent at his address on
the books of the Corporation. Unless these Bylaws expressly
provide to the contrary, the time when the person sends
notice shall constitute the time of the giving of notice.

  10.02. Waiver of Notice. Whenever the law or these Bylaws
        ------------------
require notice, the person entitled to said notice may waive
such notice in writing, either before or after the time
stated therein.

authorize, the Corporation may use such facsimile signatures
of any officer or officers, agents or agent, of the
Corporation as the Board or a committee of the Board may
authorize.

  11.02. Corporate Seal. The Board may provide for a suitable
         ----------------

committee of the Board so directs.

         -------------
fix and change the fiscal year of the Corporation.
