general nature of the business to be transacted and that no other business may
be transacted. Notice shall be delivered personally, by mail or other means
addressed to the stockholder at the address of such stockholder appearing on the

corporation for the purpose of notice or as otherwise provided by law.

          (b) Adjourned Meetings.  Notice of an adjourned meeting need not be

stockholders on the record date are entitled to notice and to vote, to receive
the dividend, distribution or allotment of rights or to exercise rights, as the
case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of shares on the books of the
corporation occurring after the record date.  Except as otherwise provided by
law, the corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any
shares as the holder in fact of such shares and shall not be bound to recognize

incorporation.  If, however, such

                                       2
<PAGE>

quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders,
the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by
proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice
other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or
represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or
represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at
the meeting as originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than 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.

     9.   Required Vote.  When a quorum is present at any meeting, except with
          -------------
respect to the election of directors, the vote of the holders of a majority of
the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall
decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon
which by express provision of statute or of the certificate of incorporation, a
different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern
and control the decision of such question.

     10.  Proxies and Voting.  At any meeting of the  stockholders, every
          ------------------
stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy authorized by an
instrument in writing filed in accordance with the procedure established for the
meeting.  Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each
stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote

held by such stockholder, but no proxy shall be voted on after three years from
its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

     11.  Notice of Stockholder Business.  At an annual or special meeting of
          ------------------------------
the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been
properly brought before the meeting.  To be properly brought before a meeting,
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) properly
brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or
(c) properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder and if, and only
if, the notice of a special meeting provides for business to be brought before
the meeting by stockholders, properly brought before the special meeting by a
stockholder.  For business to be properly brought before a meeting by a
stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to
the Secretary of the corporation.  To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal offices of the corporation
no later than (i) in the case of an annual meeting, ninety (90) days before the
anticipated date of the next annual meeting, under the assumption that the next
annual meeting will occur on the same calendar day as the day of the most recent
annual meeting, and (ii) in the case of a special meeting, ten (10) days prior
to date of such meeting.  A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set

business at the annual or special meeting, (2) the name and address, as they
appear on the corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing such business,
(3) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially
owned by the stockholder, and (4) any material interest of the stockholder in
such business.  Notwithstanding anything in the Bylaws to the contrary, no
business shall be conducted at an annual or special meeting except in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this Section 11.  The chairman of an annual or
special meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the
meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 11, and if he should so
determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly
brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

     12.  Lost Stock Certificates.  The corporation may cause a new stock
          -----------------------
certificate to be issued in place of any certificate previously issued by the
corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.  The corporation
may, at its discretion and as a condition precedent to such issuance, require
the owner of such certificate to deliver an affidavit stating that such
certificate was lost, stolen or destroyed or to give the corporation a bond or
other security sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made
against it, including any expense or liability, on account of the alleged loss,
theft or destruction or the issuance of a new certificate.

classes of stock or series thereof are entitled, pursuant to the certificate of
incorporation, to elect one or more directors, vacancies and newly created
directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of
the directors elected by such class or classes or series then in office, or by a

to fix the compensation of directors.  The directors may be paid their expenses,
if any, of attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid
a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors or a stated
salary as director.  No such payment shall preclude any director from serving
the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for
attending committee meetings.

     20.  Committees.  The board of directors may, by resolution passed by a
