NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have
been made for a fair presentation of the financial position of 3DX Technologies
Inc. (the "Company") at June 30,1997 and the results of operations for the
interim periods presented. All such adjustments made have been of a normal and
recurring nature. Because of various factors, results of operations for this
period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1997. Reference is made to the Company's December 31, 1996
audited financial statements, including the notes thereto.
2. RECENT EVENTS
On December 26, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering
(the "Offering") of 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock. In January 1997, the
Company issued and sold 375,000 additional shares of Common Stock in connection
with an option granted to the underwriters of the Offering to purchase
additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments. The Company
received additional net proceeds of approximately $3.8 million upon issuance of
these shares. From the date of the Offering through June 30, 1997, the
aggregate net proceeds of the Offering, which approximated $27.4 million, have
been used (1) to redeem all the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's
Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series B, par value $.01 per share, (2) for capital
and exploration expenditures, (3) to pay dividends accrued prior to conversion
to Common Stock on the Company's Senior Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock,
Series C, par value $.01 per share and (4) for general corporate purposes,
including expenses associated with hiring additional personnel. The Company
plans to use the remaining proceeds to fund future capital and exploration
programs and for general corporate purposes.
On January 21, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with
Esenjay Petroleum Corp., one of the Company's partners, to increase the
Company's working interest in three projects in the Texas Gulf Coast trend and
one project in the Mississippi/Alabama trend in exchange for consideration in
the amount of $1,337,500.
On March 5,1997, the Company, together with Santa Fe Energy Resources,
Inc., one of the Company's partners, was the high bidder on four offshore
blocks offered in the Federal Lease Sale No. 166, Central Gulf of Mexico. One
of these high bids has been awarded to the Company, while the remaining three
high bids are subject to review and approval by the U.S. Minerals Management
Service, and are not final until approval is obtained. The Company has incurred
pre-lease costs of $260,000 and has committed an additional $855,000 for this
acreage.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The Company is a knowledge-based oil and gas exploration company whose
core competence and strategic focus is the utilization of 3-D imaging and other
advanced technologies in the search for commercial quantities of hydrocarbons.
The Company enters into arrangements that enable it to combine its expertise
and exploration capabilities with the operating skills of other oil and gas
companies. The Company participates in carefully selected exploration projects
as a non-operating working interest owner, sharing both risks and rewards with
its partners. The Company commenced operations in January 1993 to take
advantage of perceived opportunities emerging from changes in the domestic oil
and gas industry, including the divestiture of domestic oil and gas properties,
advances in technology and the outsourcing of specialized technical
capabilities. By reducing drilling risk through 3-D imaging and analysis, the
Company seeks to improve the expected return on investment in its oil and gas
projects. As a result of the development of the Company's business and the
utilization of a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering during the three
months and the six months ended June 30, 1997, the period to period comparisons
of the Company's results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and
should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth certain operating information of the

Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1997
Oil and Gas Revenues. Oil and gas revenues increased to $649,706 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 (the "1997 quarter") from $97,365 for the three
months ended June 30,1996 (the "1996 quarter"). This increase was attributable
to higher production levels, partially offset by lower average prices for sales
of oil and gas. Production increased to approximately 312.5 MMcfe in the 1997
quarter, from 35.6 MMcfe in the 1996 quarter. The increased production
resulted from successful wells drilled during the last six months of 1996 and
the first six months of 1997. The average sales price for oil decreased 8% to
$19.56 during the 1997 quarter from $21.23 for the 1996 quarter. The average
sales price for natural gas decreased by 15% to $2.01 per Mcf for the 1997
quarter from $2.38 per Mcf for the 1996 quarter.
Lease Operating Expense. Lease operating expense (including production and ad
valorem taxes) increased to $103,520 for the 1997 quarter from $12,089 for the
1996 quarter. This increase was primarily attributable to the additional costs
of operating the new producing wells drilled during the last six months of 1996
and the first six months of 1997. Lease operating expense per Mcfe decreased
by 3% to $0.33 per Mcfe for the 1997 quarter from $0.34 per Mcfe for the 1996
quarter.
Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depletion of oil and gas
properties for the 1997 quarter increased to $526,592 from $45,000 for the 1996
quarter. The increase in depletion of oil and gas properties, which is
computed using the units of production method, resulted primarily from the
increase in oil and gas production during the 1997 quarter. Depletion of oil
and gas properties per Mcfe for the 1997 quarter also increased 33% to $1.69
over the rate per Mcfe of $1.26 in the corresponding quarter in 1996. The
increase in the rate resulted from greater additions to evaluated oil and gas
property costs than the additions to oil and gas reserves relative to the
existing depletion rate per Mcfe. This was principally the result of the costs
of two unsuccessful wells drilled on an Alabama prospect in the second quarter
of 1997.
Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties. No oil and gas impairment charges were
recorded in the 1997 quarter. Oil and gas impairment charges recorded during
the 1996 quarter totaled $1,090,718, primarily as a result of the evaluation of
prospects which had poor drilling results during the 1996 quarter. The
addition of the total investment in these prospects to evaluated costs resulted
in impairment charges under the Company's full cost accounting policy for oil
and gas activities.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense, net of
costs capitalized to exploration and development projects, increased to
$753,902 for the 1997 quarter from $473,842 for the 1996 quarter. This
increase was attributable to (1) expenses associated with hiring additional
personnel as part of the planned increase in the Company's activities, and (2)
compensation expense recognized in connection with stock options granted during
the twelve months prior to the initial filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of a registration statement relating to the Offering, which expense
is based on the difference between the exercise price of such options and the
initial $11.00 per share Offering price of the Common Stock.
Rental Income. Rental income decreased to $32,694 for the 1997 quarter from
$79,767 for the 1996 quarter. The Company derives rental income pursuant to an
agreement to exchange use of certain of the Company's technical and office
equipment by an independent seismic processing company for a percentage of the
gross fee billings of such seismic processing company. The rental income
recognized by the Company can vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income increased to $241,140
for the 1997 quarter from $71,676 for the 1996 quarter, primarily as a result
of higher interest income on increased cash and cash equivalent balances as a
result of the proceeds of the Offering.
Net Loss. The Company's net loss decreased to $460,474 for the 1997 quarter
from $1,372,840 for the 1996 quarter, primarily as a result of the charge for
the impairment of oil and gas properties in the 1996 quarter with no
corresponding charge in the 1997 quarter, and from the substantial increase in
revenues, offset by a 62% increase in total costs and expenses (excluding
impairment charges), as detailed above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1997
Oil and Gas Revenues. Oil and gas revenues increased to $1,321,976 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 (the "1997 period") from $191,928 for the six months
ended June 30,1996 (the "1996 period"). This increase was primarily
attributable to higher production levels, but the Company also benefited from
higher average prices for sales of oil and gas. Production increased by over
600% to approximately 549.8 MMcfe for the 1997 period, from 75.5 MMcfe for the
1996 period. The increased production resulted from successful wells drilled
during the last six months of 1996 and the first six months of 1997. The
average sales price for oil increased 8% to $21.45 during the 1997 period from
$19.95 for the 1996 period. The average sales price for natural gas increased by
9% to $2.34 per Mcf for the 1997 period from $2.15 per Mcf for the 1996 period.
Lease Operating Expense. Lease operating expense (including production and ad
valorem taxes) increased to $194,604 for the 1997 period from $26,799 for the
1996 period. This increase was primarily attributable to the additional costs
of operating new producing wells drilled during the last six months of 1996 and
the first six months of 1997. Lease operating expense per Mcfe remained
constant at $0.35 per Mcfe for both the 1997 period and the 1996 period.
Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depletion of oil and gas
properties for the 1997 period increased to $802,698 from $90,000 for the 1996
period. The increase in depletion of oil and gas properties resulted from the
increase in oil and gas production during the 1997 period. Depletion of oil
and gas properties per Mcfe for the 1997 quarter also increased 23% to $1.46
over the rate per Mcfe of $1.19 in the corresponding quarter in 1996. The
increase in the rate resulted from greater additions to evaluated oil and gas
property costs than the additions to oil and gas reserves relative to the
existing depletion rate per Mcfe. This was principally the result of the costs
of two unsuccessful wells drilled on an Alabama prospect in the second quarter
of 1997.
Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties. No oil and gas impairment charges were
recorded in the 1997 period. Oil and gas impairment charges recorded during the
1996 period totaled $1,294,636, primarily as a result of the evaluation of
prospects which had poor drilling results during the period. The addition of
the total investment in these prospects to evaluated costs resulted in
impairment charges under the Company's full cost accounting policy for oil and
gas operations.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense, net of
costs capitalized to exploration and development projects, increased to
$1,350,897 for the 1997 period from $859,374 for the 1996 period. This
increase was attributable to (1) expenses associated with hiring additional
personnel as part of the planned increase in the Company's activities, and (2)
compensation expense recognized in connection with stock options granted during
the twelve months prior to the initial filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of a registration statement relating to the Offering, which expense
is based on the difference between the exercise price of such options and the
initial $11.00 per share Offering price of the Common Stock.
Rental Income. Rental income increased to $117,197 for the 1997 period from
$92,477 for the 1996 period. The Company derives rental income pursuant to an
agreement to exchange use of certain of the Company's technical and office
equipment by an independent seismic processing company for a percentage of the
gross fee billings of such seismic processing company. The rental income
recognized by the Company can vary significantly from period to period.
Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income increased to $408,143
for the 1997 period from $160,423 for the 1996 period, primarily as a result of
higher interest income on increased cash and cash equivalent balances as a
result of the proceeds of the Offering.
Net Loss. The Company's net loss decreased to $500,932 for the 1997 period from
$1,825,979 for the 1996 period, primarily as a result of the charge for the
impairment of oil and gas properties in the 1996 period with no corresponding
charge in the 1997 period, and from the substantial increase in revenues,
offset by a 140% increase in total costs and expenses (excluding impairment
charges), as detailed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 1997, the Company had working capital in the amount of $11.3
million. To date, the Company has funded its oil and gas exploration
activities principally through cash provided by the sale of equity securities.
On December 26, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"Offering") for the sale of 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock. The net proceeds
of the Offering, after associated expenses, approximated $27.4 million,
including proceeds from the sale of 375,000 shares issued to cover the
underwriter's over-allotment. Of such proceeds, approximately $7.5 million was
used to redeem all the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and to pay
dividends accrued on the Series C Preferred Stock. Through June 30, 1997, the
Company has used the net proceeds of the Offering to make capital expenditures
in the amounts of $9.1 million related to its oil and gas exploration and
development activities and $.9 million for the acquisition of technical
equipment used in its oil and gas activities. The Company plans to use the
remaining proceeds of the Offering to fund future capital and exploration
programs and for general corporate purposes.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997
was $10.0 million. Of this total, $9.1 million was used for the acquisition,
exploration and development of oil and gas properties. During the six months
ended June 30, 1996, net cash used in investing activities amounted to $.7
million, primarily as a result of the acquisition, exploration and development
of oil and gas properties in the amount of $1.9 million, offset in part by the
proceeds from securities held to maturity of $1.6 million.
The development of the Company's business has in the past required substantial
oil and gas capital expenditures. To achieve its goals, the Company
anticipates making oil and gas capital expenditures substantially in excess of
historical levels to acquire, explore and develop oil and gas properties.
Capital expenditures for oil and gas exploration and production activities
during the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1997 were $1.9 million and
$9.1 million, respectively. Capital expenditures for the Company's oil and gas
exploration and production activities during the year ended December 31, 1997
were originally budgeted at $14.9 million. However, the Company continues to
identify new opportunities for oil and gas capital investment. As a result,
total spending for 1997 is currently expected to be in excess of $18.0
million. The timing and amount of the Company's capital spending is dependent
on the outcome of exploratory drilling activities.
The Company expects that its available cash and expected cash flows from
operating activities will be sufficient to meet its financial obligations and
fund its planned exploration and drilling activities through December 31, 1997.
The Company's projections are dependent on the following assumptions: (i) there
are no significant declines in oil and gas prices below current levels or
anticipated seasonal lows, (ii) there are no significant declines in oil and gas
production from existing properties other than declines in production currently
anticipated based on engineering estimates of the decline curves associated with
such properties and (iii) the Company is able to discover and produce commercial
quantities of oil and gas and within the time frame the Company has predicted.
To enable it to continue to take advantage of oil and gas exploration and
development opportunities, the Company intends to seek additional financing to
satisfy its capital requirements subsequent to December 31, 1997. The Company
anticipates satisfying its future capital requirements from a combination of
expected cash flow generated from operations, borrowings from financial
institutions (which may be secured by the Company's oil and gas reserves) and
from future public or private offerings of equity and/or debt securities. In
the absence of additional financing, the Company could be required to modify the
implementation and timing of its oil and gas exploration and development program
subsequent to December 31, 1997 since capital expenditures relating thereto
would be limited to cash flow from operating activities. No assurance can be
given that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on terms
which would be acceptable to the Company.
The Company has never utilized commodity swaps for its oil and gas production
and it does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. In addition, the
Company has never entered into any hedging transactions and has no current
intention to do so in the future. The Company currently has no outstanding
long-term debt and is not a party to any debt or collateral-based lending
arrangements. Long-term debt or collateral-based lending arrangements could be
used as a source of liquidity by the Company in the future. Additionally,
although the Company presently has no current commitment or intention to sell
all or any portion of its working interests, such sales could be used as a
source of liquidity by the Company in the future.

<PAGE> 13
Effects of Inflation and Changes in Price
The Company's results of operations and cash flows are affected by changing oil
and gas prices. If the price of oil and gas increases (decreases), there could
be a corresponding increase (decrease) in the operating costs that the Company
is required to bear for operations, as well as an increase (decrease) in
revenues. Historically, inflation has had a minimal effect on the Company.
Other
In connection with stock options granted within one year prior to the initial
filing of the registration statement relating to the Offering, the Company
recorded deferred compensation expense based on the difference between the
option exercise price and the fair value of the common stock at the date of
grant (using the $11.00 per share Offering price as an estimate of the fair
value). As of June 30, 1997, the Company had unamortized deferred compensation
of $713,683 which will be charged to expense during the next four years.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). Actual results, events and circumstances could
differ materially from those set forth in such statements due to various
factors. Such factors include the possibility that the drilling of wells in
projects in which the Company has a working interest may be delayed or
abandoned, actual rates of production may not reach anticipated levels and
opportunities for the Company to acquire future working interests in additional
projects on terms considered reasonable to the Company may be limited or
unavailable, changing economic, regulatory and competitive conditions, other
technological developments and other risks and uncertainties, including those
set forth herein. The Company's future financial results will depend primarily
on: (i) the Company's ability to continue to source and screen potential
projects; (ii) the Company's ability to discover commercial quantities of
hydrocarbons; (iii) the market price for oil and gas; and (iv) the Company's
ability to fully implement its exploration and development program. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any of these respects or
that the prices of oil and gas prevailing at the time of production will be at
a level allowing for profitable production.

ARTICLE I
STOCKHOLDERS
SECTION 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Corporation for the purpose of electing Directors and for the transaction
of such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting shall be
held on such date, at such time and at such place within or without the State
of Delaware as may be designated by the Board of Directors or if no date and
time are so fixed, on the second Tuesday in May of each year at the office of
the Corporation at 10:00 a.m.
SECTION 2. Special Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by statute
or in the Corporation's Fourth Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as such
certificate of incorporation may be from time to time hereafter modified,
amended or supplemented (the "Restated Certificate"), a special meeting of the
stockholders of the Corporation may be called at any time by the Board of
Directors or the President. Any special meeting of the stockholders shall be
held on such date, at such time and at such place within or without the State
of Delaware as the Board of Directors or the officer calling the meeting may
designate.
SECTION 3. Notice of Meetings. Written notice of each meeting
of the stockholders, which shall state the place, date and hour of the
meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which it
is called, shall be given, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days
before the date of such meeting, either personally or by mail, to each
stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be
deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, directed to the stockholder at the address of such stockholder as it
appears on the records of the Corporation. Whenever notice is required to be
given, a written waiver thereof signed by the stockholder entitled thereto,
whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to
notice. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the
express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened. 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. 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.
If, at any meeting of stockholders, action is proposed to be taken which would,
if taken, entitle stockholders to perfect appraisal rights with respect to
their shares of the Corporation's capital stock, the notice of meeting shall
include a statement to that effect and such notice shall comply with the
requirements specified in Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware.
SECTION 4. Quorum. At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders
of a majority in number of the total outstanding shares of stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or represented
by proxy, shall constitute a quorum of the
<PAGE> 2
stockholders for all purposes, unless the representation of a larger number of
shares shall be required by law, by the Restated Certificate or by these
By-Laws, in which case the representation of the number of shares so required
shall constitute a quorum; provided that at any meeting of the stockholders at
which the holders of any class of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to
vote separately as a class, the holders of a majority in number of the total
outstanding shares of such class, present in person or represented by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum for purposes of such class vote unless the
representation of a larger number of shares of such class shall be required by
law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws.
SECTION 5. Adjourned Meetings. Whether or not a quorum shall be
present in person or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the
holders of a majority in number of the shares of stock of the Corporation
present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at such meeting
may adjourn from time to time; provided, however, that if the holders of any
class of stock of the Corporation are entitled to vote separately as a class
upon any matter at such meeting, any adjournment of the meeting in respect of
action by such class upon such matter shall be determined by the holders of a
majority of the shares of such class present in person or represented by proxy
and entitled to vote at such meeting. At the adjourned meeting the
stockholders, or the holders of any class of stock entitled to vote separately
as a class, as the case may be, may transact any business which might have been
transacted by them 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 adjourned meeting.
SECTION 6. Organization. At each meeting of the stockholders, the
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or in the Chairman's
absence or inability to act, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or
in such officer's absence or inability to act, a Vice President shall call all
meetings of the stockholders to order, and shall act as chairman of such
meetings. In the absence each of the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and
each of the Vice Presidents, the holders of a majority in number of the shares
of stock of the Corporation present in person or represented by proxy and
entitled to vote at such meeting shall elect a Chairman. The Secretary of the
Corporation shall act as Secretary of all meetings of the stockholders; but in
the absence of the Secretary, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any
person to act as secretary of the meeting.
SECTION 7. Voting. Except as otherwise provided in the Restated
Certificate or by law, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each
share of the capital stock of the Corporation registered in the name of such
stockholder upon the books of the Corporation.
Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to
express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may
authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Any such proxy
shall be delivered to the secretary of such meeting at or prior to the time
designated in the order of business for so delivering such proxies. Except as
otherwise provided by law, every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of
the stockholder executing it. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after
three years from its date unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
Unless required by statute or determined by the chairman of the meeting to be
advisable, the vote on any matter need not be by ballot. On a vote by ballot,
each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting or by such stockholder's
proxy if there can be such proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted.
Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Restated Certificate,
Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of
stockholders by the stockholders entitled to vote in the election and, whenever
any corporate action other than the election of Directors is to be taken, it
shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of
stockholders
<PAGE> 3
by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon.
Shares of the capital stock of the Corporation belonging to the
Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to
vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly
or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be
counted for quorum purposes.
SECTION 8. List of Stockholders. It shall be the duty of the
Secretary of the Corporation to prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before
every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote
at such 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, 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,
for the ten (10) days next preceding the meeting, to the examination of any
stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business
hours, and shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting
during the whole time thereof and subject to the inspection of any stockholder
who may be present.
SECTION 9. Inspectors. The Board of Directors, in advance of any
meeting of stockholders, shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at such
meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereon. The
Board of Directors may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to
replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able
to act at the meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall
appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector before
entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath
faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict
impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors shall
ascertain the number of shares of each kind, class or series of stock
outstanding and the voting power of each, determine the number of shares of
stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and
effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and
determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to
vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result,
and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to
all stockholders. On request of the chairman of the meeting or any stockholder
entitled to vote thereat, the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any
challenge, question or matter determined by them and shall execute a
certificate of any fact found by them. No Director or candidate for the office
of Director shall act as an inspector of an election of Directors. Inspectors
need not be stockholders.
SECTION 10. Business Brought Before a Meeting. At an annual meeting
of stockholders, only such business shall be conducted, and only such proposals
shall be acted upon, as shall have been properly brought before the meeting of
stockholders. To be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders,
business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement
thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) brought
before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c)
otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder who was a
stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice provided for in this
section, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the
notice procedures set forth in this Section 10. For business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have
given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and
such business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be
timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by
the Corporation's Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation, not less than eighty (80) days prior to the first anniversary of
the preceding year's annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in
the event that the
- 3 -
<PAGE> 4
date of the annual meeting of stockholders is changed by more than thirty (30)
days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be
so received no later than the close of business on the tenth (10) day following
the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed. A stockholder's
notice to the Corporation's Secretary shall set forth (a) as to each person
whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a
Director, all information relating to such person that is required to be
disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Directors in an election
contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and
Rule 14a-11 thereunder (including such person's written consent to being named
in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected);
(b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the
meeting, a brief description of the business sought to be brought before the
meeting; (c) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books,
of the stockholder proposing such nominee or business and any other
stockholders known by such stockholder to be supporting such nominee or
proposal; (d) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which, on the
date of such stockholder's notice, are beneficially owned by such stockholder
and by any other stockholders known by such stockholder to be supporting such
nominee or proposal; and (e) any material interest of the stockholder in such
business. Notwithstanding anything in these By-laws to the contrary, no
business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders except in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 10. The chairman of
the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the
meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 10; and if the chairman should so
determine, the chairman shall so declare at the meeting and any such business
not properly brought before such meeting shall not be transacted.
ARTICLE II
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
SECTION 1. General Powers. The business and affairs of the
Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors may exercise all such authority and powers of the
Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute, the
Restated Certificate or these By-laws directed or required to be done by the
stockholders.
SECTION 2. Number and Qualifications. The Board of Directors
shall consist of not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Directors.
Directors need not be stockholders. The Board of Directors, by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors, may increase the number of
Directors to a number not exceeding nine (9). Vacancies occurring by reason of
any such increase shall be filled in accordance with Section 4 of this Article
II. The Board of Directors, by the vote of a majority of the entire Board of
Directors, may decrease the number of Directors to a number not less than three
(3) but any such decrease shall not affect the term of office of any Director.
SECTION 3. Classes, Election and Term of Office. The Board of
Directors shall be divided into three classes serving staggered three-year
terms. Except for Directors elected to fill vacancies, all Directors shall be
elected at the annual meeting of stockholders and shall be nominated in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of this Article. Directors elected
to fill vacancies shall be appointed and elected in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4 of this Article. At each meeting of stockholders for
the election of Directors at which a quorum is present, the persons receiving
the greatest number of votes, up to the number of Directors to be elected,
shall be the Directors. Each Director shall hold office until his successor is
elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation by written notice to
the Secretary of the
- 4 -
<PAGE> 5
Corporation, or until his removal from office.
SECTION 4. Removal, Vacancies and Additional Directors. The
stockholders may, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority
of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation's capital stock
entitled to vote with respect to the election of Directors, at any special
meeting the notice of which shall state that it is called for that purpose,
remove, with or without cause, any Director and fill the vacancy in accordance
with these By-laws; provided, however, that whenever any Director shall have
been elected by the holders of any class of stock of the Corporation voting
separately as a class pursuant to statute or the provisions of the Restated
Certificate, such Director may be removed and the vacancy filled only by the
holders of that class of stock voting separately as a class. Vacancies caused
by any removal, or any vacancy caused by the death or resignation of any
Director or for any other reason, and any newly created Directorship resulting
from any increase in the authorized number of Directors, shall be filled by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, although less
than a quorum, and if there shall be no Directors then in office, such vacancy
or newly created Directorship shall be filled by holders of at least a majority
of the shares of the Corporation's capital stock entitled to vote with respect
to the election of Directors, and any Director so elected to fill such vacancy
or any newly created directorship shall hold office for a term that shall
expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders following such appointment
or until the earlier resignation or removal of the Director.
When one (1) or more Directors shall resign from the Board of
Directors effective at a future date, a majority of the Directors then in
office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such
vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or
resignations shall become effective, and each Director so chosen shall hold
office until the first annual meeting of stockholders following such
appointment or until the earlier resignation or removal of the Director.
SECTION 5. Nominations.
(a) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in these By-laws shall be eligible to serve as Directors.
Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the
Corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders (i) by or at the direction
of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was
a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice provided for in
these By-laws, who is entitled to vote for the election of Directors at the
meeting and who shall have complied with the notice procedures set forth in
Article I, Section 10. At the request of the Board of Directors, any person
nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a Director shall furnish to
the Secretary of the Corporation that information required to be set forth in a
stockholder's notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee.
(b) No person shall be eligible to serve as a Director of the
Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in
these By-laws. The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant,
determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in
accordance with the procedures prescribed by these By-laws, and if the chairman
should so declare, the defective nomination shall be disregarded. A
stockholder seeking to nominate a person to serve as a Director must also
comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to the nomination and election
of Directors matters set forth in this Section 5.
SECTION 6. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may hold its

for the purpose of organization, the election of officers and the transaction
of other business as soon as practicable after each annual meeting of the
stockholders, on the same day and at the same place where such annual meeting

Delaware, which shall be specified in a notice thereof given as hereinafter
provided in Section 10 of this Article II.

Unless otherwise indicated in the notice thereof, any and all business other
than an amendment of these By-Laws may be transacted at any special meeting,
and an amendment of these By-Laws may be acted upon if the notice of the
meeting shall have stated that the amendment of these By-Laws is one (1) of the
purposes of the meeting. At any meeting at which every Director shall be
present, even though without any notice, any business may be transacted,
including the amendment of these By-Laws. A written waiver of notice, signed
by the Director entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated
therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance by a Director at a
meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the
Director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the
beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the
meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
SECTION 11. Quorum. Subject to the provisions of Section 4 of this
Article II, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors in office (but
in no case less than one-third of the total number of Directors) shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the vote of the
majority of the Directors present at any meeting of the Board of Directors at
which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. If at
any meeting of the Board of Directors there is less than a quorum present, a
majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time. Notice of
the time and place of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to the
Directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment and, unless such
time and place were announced at the meeting at which the adjournment was
taken, to the other Directors. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is
present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the
meeting as originally called. The Directors shall act only as a board and the
individual Directors shall have no power as such.
SECTION 12. Organization. At all meetings of the Board of Directors,
a chairman shall be elected from the Directors present to preside at such
meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as Secretary of all
meetings of the Directors; but in the absence of the Secretary, the Chairman
may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

each committee to consist of one (1) or more of the Directors of the
Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one (1) or more Directors as
alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified
member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of
a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting
and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members
constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of
Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified
member. Any such committee, to the extent provided by resolution passed by a
majority of the whole Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the
powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the
business and the affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the
Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; except that no
such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to amending the
Restated Certificate, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation,
recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the
stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution,
or an amendment to these By-Laws; and unless such resolution, these By-Laws, or
the Restated Certificate expressly so provides, no such committee shall have
the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of
stock. Each committee shall keep written minutes of its proceedings and shall
report such minutes to the Board of Directors when required.
SECTION 14. Conference Telephone Meetings. Unless otherwise
restricted by the Restated Certificate or by these By-Laws, the members of the
Board of Directors or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in
a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be, by
means of 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 such participation shall constitute presence in person at such
meeting.

thereto in writing and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of
proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be.

ARTICLE IV
STOCK-SEAL-FISCAL YEAR
SECTION 1. Certificates For Shares of Stock. The certificates for

Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or a Vice President
and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer, and shall not be valid unless so signed. Any or all of the

In case any officer or officers who shall have signed any such
certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the
Corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such

certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though
the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates had not
ceased to be such officer or officers of the Corporation.
All certificates for shares of stock shall be consecutively numbered
as the same are issued. The name of the person owning the shares represented
thereby with the number of such shares and the date of issue thereof shall be

Except as hereinafter provided, all certificates surrendered to the
Corporation for transfer shall be cancelled, and no new certificates shall be

to vote as such owner, and the Corporation may hold any such stockholder of
record liable for calls and assessments and the Corporation shall not be bound
to recognize any equitable or legal claim to or interest in any such share or
shares on the part of any other person whether or not it shall have express or

(1) or more transfer agents and one (1) or more registrars and may require all
certificates for shares of stock to bear the signature or signatures of any of
them.

the stockholders entitled to (i) notice of or to vote at any meeting of
stockholders or any adjournment thereof, (ii) express consent to corporate
action in writing without a meeting, (iii) receive payment of any dividend or
other distribution or allotment of any rights, (iv) exercise any rights in

necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed;
and 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. 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.
SECTION 6. Dividends. Subject to the provisions of the Restated
