When a determination of Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
meeting of Stockholders has been made as provided in this Section 2.5, such
determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board fixes a
new record date for the adjourned meeting. Delivery made to the Corporations
registered office in accordance with Section 2.5.2 shall be by hand or by
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

2.6 Notice of Meetings of Stockholders. Except as otherwise
provided in Sections 2.5 and 2.7 hereof, whenever under the provisions of any
statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, Stockholders are
required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, written notice shall be
given stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a
special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.
Unless otherwise provided by any statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or
these By-laws, a copy of the notice of any meeting shall be given, personally
or by mail, not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the
meeting, to each Stockholder entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting.
If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United
States mail, with postage prepaid, directed to the Stockholder at his or her
address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. An affidavit of the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent of the Corporation
that the notice required by this Section 2.6 has been given shall, in the
absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. 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, and at the adjourned meeting any business may
be transacted



---



##### 



6

that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. If,
however, the adjournment is for more than thirty 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.

2.7 Waivers of Notice. Whenever the giving of any notice is
required by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, a
waiver thereof, in writing, signed by the Stockholder or Stockholders entitled
to said notice, whether before or after the event as to which such notice is
required, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance by 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 on the ground that
the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to
be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the
Stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so
required by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws.

2.8 List of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare and make, or
cause to be prepared and made, at least ten days before every meeting of
Stockholders, a complete list of the Stockholders 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,
the Stockholders agent, or attorney, at the Stockholders expense, 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

##### 



7

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. The Corporation shall maintain the Stockholder
list in written form or in another form capable of conversion into written form
within a reasonable time. Upon the willful neglect or refusal of the Directors
to produce such a list at any meeting for the election of Directors, they shall
be ineligible for election to any office at such meeting. The stock ledger
shall be the only evidence as to who are the Stockholders entitled to examine
the stock ledger, the list of Stockholders or the books of the Corporation, or
to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of Stockholders.

2.9 Quorum of Stockholders; Adjournment. Except as otherwise
provided by any statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, the
holders of one-third of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at any
meeting of Stockholders, present in person or represented by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business at such meeting. When
a quorum is once present to organize a meeting of Stockholders, it is not
broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any Stockholders. The holders of a
majority of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy at
any meeting of Stockholders, including an adjourned meeting, whether or not a
quorum is present, may adjourn such meeting to another time and place. Shares
of its own stock 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; provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not



---



##### 



8

limit the right of the Corporation to vote stock,
including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

2.10 Voting; Proxies. Unless otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation, every Stockholder of record shall be entitled at
every meeting of Stockholders to one vote for each share of capital stock
standing in his or her name on the record of Stockholders determined in
accordance with Section 2.5 hereof. If the Certificate of Incorporation
provides for more or less than one vote for any share on any matter, each
reference in the By-laws or the General Corporation Law to a majority or other
proportion of stock shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the
votes of such stock. The provisions of Sections 212 and 217 of the General
Corporation Law shall apply in determining whether any shares of capital stock
may be voted and the persons, if any, entitled to vote such shares; but the
Corporation shall be protected in assuming that the persons in whose names
shares of capital stock stand on the stock ledger of the Corporation are
entitled to vote such shares. Holders of redeemable shares of stock are not
entitled to vote after the notice of redemption is mailed to such holders and a
sum sufficient to redeem the stocks has been deposited with a bank, trust
company, or other financial institution under an irrevocable obligation to pay
the holders the redemption price on surrender of the shares of stock. At any
meeting of Stockholders (at which a quorum was present to organize the
meeting), all matters, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the
Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-laws, shall be decided by a
majority of the votes cast at such meeting by the holders of shares present in
person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, whether or not a
quorum is present when the vote is taken. All elections of Directors shall be by
written ballot unless



---



##### 



9

otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation.
In voting on any other question on which a vote by ballot is required by law or
is demanded by any Stockholder entitled to vote, the voting shall be by ballot.
Each ballot shall be signed by the Stockholder voting or the Stockholders
proxy and shall state the number of shares voted. On all other questions, the
voting may be viva voce. 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
such Stockholder by proxy. The validity and enforceability of any proxy shall
be determined in accordance with Section 212 of the General Corporation Law. A
Stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the
meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the
proxy or by delivering a proxy in accordance with applicable law bearing a
later date to the Secretary.

2.11 Voting Procedures and Inspectors of Election at Meetings of
Stockholders. The Board, in advance of any meeting of Stockholders, may
appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report
thereof. The Board may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors
to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has
been appointed or is able to act at a meeting, the person presiding at the
meeting may appoint, and on the request of any Stockholder entitled to vote
thereat shall appoint, one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each
inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take
and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict
impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors
shall (a) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, (b) determine
the shares represented at the



---



##### 



10

meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots,
(c) count all votes and ballots, (d) determine and retain for a reasonable
period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination
by the inspectors, and (e) certify their determination of the number of shares
represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. The
inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the
inspectors in the performance of their duties. Unless otherwise provided by
the Board, the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for
each matter upon which the Stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be
determined by the person presiding at the meeting and shall be announced at the
meeting. No ballot, proxies or votes, or any revocation thereof or change
thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls
unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware upon application by a
Stockholder shall determine otherwise.

2.12 Organization. At each meeting of Stockholders, the
President, or in the absence of the President, the Chairman, or if there is no
Chairman or if there be one and the Chairman is absent, a Vice President, and
in case more than one Vice President shall be present, that Vice President
designated by the Board (or in the absence of any such designation, the most
senior Vice President, based on age, present), shall act as chairman of the
meeting. The Secretary, or in his or her absence, one of the Assistant
Secretaries, shall act as secretary of the meeting. In case none of the
officers above designated to act as chairman or secretary of the meeting,
respectively, shall be present, a chairman or a secretary of the meeting, as
the case may be, shall be chosen by a
majority of the votes cast at such meeting by the holders of shares of
capital stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at
the meeting.

##### 



11

2.13 Order of Business. The order of business at all meetings of
Stockholders shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting, but the
order of business to be followed at any meeting at which a quorum is present
may be changed by a majority of the votes cast at such meeting by the holders
of shares of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy and
entitled to vote at the meeting.

2.14 Written Consent of Stockholders Without a Meeting. Unless
otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required by
the General Corporation Law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of
stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a
vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such
action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present
and voted and shall be delivered (by hand or by certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested) to the Corporation by delivery to its registered
office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer
or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of
meetings of stockholders are recorded. Every written consent shall bear the
date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent and no written
consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein
unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner
required by this Section 2.14, written consents signed by a sufficient number
of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation as aforesaid.
Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by
less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those Stockholders who
have not consented in writing.

ARTICLE 3

Directors

3.1 General Powers. Except as otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall
be managed by or under the direction of the Board. The Board may adopt such
rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the Certificate of Incorporation
or these By-laws or applicable laws, as it may deem proper for the conduct of
its meetings and the management of the Corporation. In addition to the powers
expressly conferred by these By-laws, the Board may exercise all powers and
perform all acts that are not required, by these By-laws or the Certificate of
Incorporation or by statute, to be exercised and performed by the Stockholders.

of one or more members. The number of Directors shall be fixed initially by

qualified or until the Directors death, resignation or removal.

statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, be elected by a plurality of
the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders by the holders of shares entitled

resulting from an increase in the number of Directors and vacancies occurring
in the Board for any other

reason, including the removal of Directors without
cause, may be filled by the affirmative votes of a majority of the entire
Board, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director, or may be
elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of capital
stock entitled to vote in the election at a special meeting of stockholders
called for that purpose. A Director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected
to hold office until a successor is elected and qualified, or until the
Directors earlier death, resignation or removal.

3.5 Resignation. Any Director may resign at any time by written
notice to the Corporation. Such resignation shall take effect at the time
therein specified, and, unless otherwise specified in such resignation, the
acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

3.6 Removal. Subject to the provisions of Section 141(k) of the
General Corporation Law, any or all of the Directors may be removed with or
without cause by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled
to vote at an election of Directors.

3.7 Compensation. Each Director, in consideration of his or her
service as such, shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation such amount
per annum or such fees for attendance at Directors meetings, or both, as the
Board may from time to time determine, together with reimbursement for the
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, incurred by such Director in
connection with the performance of his or
her duties. Each Director who shall serve as a member of any committee of
Directors in consideration of serving as such shall be entitled to such
additional amount per annum or such fees for attendance at committee meetings,
or both, as the Board may from time to



---



##### 



14

time determine, together with
reimbursement for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, incurred by
such Director in the performance of his or her duties. Nothing contained in
this Section 3.7 shall preclude any Director from serving the Corporation or
its subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving proper compensation
therefor.

3.8 Times and Places of Meetings. The Board may hold meetings,
both regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware. The
times and places for holding meetings of the Board may be fixed from time to
time by resolution of the Board or (unless contrary to a resolution of the
Board) in the notice of the meeting.

3.9 Annual Meetings. On the day when and at the place where the
annual meeting of stockholders for the election of Directors is held, and as
soon as practicable thereafter, the Board may hold its annual meeting, without
notice of such meeting, for the purposes of organization, the election of
officers and the transaction of other business. The annual meeting of the
Board may be held at any other time and place specified in a notice given as
provided in Section 3.11 hereof for special meetings of the Board or in a
waiver of notice thereof.

3.10 Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board may be held
without notice at such times and at such places as shall from time to time be
determined by the Board.

3.11 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board may be

mutilated certificate, or his or her legal representatives, to make proof
satisfactory to the Board of such loss, destruction, theft or mutilation and to
advertise such fact in such manner as the Board may require, and to give the
Corporation and its transfer agents and registrars, or such of them as the
Board may require, a bond in such form, in such sums and with such surety or
sureties as the Board may direct, to indemnify the Corporation and its transfer
agents and registrars against any claim that may be made against any of them on
account of the continued existence of any such certificate so alleged to have

holder, including an executor, administrator, trustee, guardian or other
fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of the
holder. Unless noted conspicuously on the certificate representing such
capital stock, a restriction, even though permitted by Section 202 of the

parties to an agreement or voted in favor of the restriction.

the Corporation shall indemnify any person who is or was made, or threatened to
be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding (a Proceeding), whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of
the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that
such person, or a person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or
was a Director or officer of the Corporation, or, at the request of the
Corporation, is or was serving as a director or officer of any other
corporation or in a capacity with comparable authority or responsibilities for
any partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (an Other Entity),
against judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid in settlement
and costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys fees, disbursements and
other charges). Persons who are not directors or officers of the Corporation
(or otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to the preceding sentence)
may be similarly indemnified in respect of service to the Corporation or to an
Other Entity at the request of the Corporation to the extent the Board at any
time specifies that such persons are entitled to the benefits of this Article
8.

8.2 Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation shall, from time to
time, reimburse or advance to any Director or officer or other person entitled
to indemnification hereunder the funds necessary for payment of expenses,
including attorneys fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any
Proceeding, in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding;
provided, however, that, if required

29

by the General Corporation
Law, such expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Director or officer or other
person may be paid in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding only
upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such
Director or officer (or other person indemnified hereunder), to repay any such
amount so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial
decision from which there is no further right of appeal that such Director,
officer or other person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

8.3 Rights Not Exclusive. The rights to indemnification and
reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
this Article 8 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a
person seeking indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses may
have or hereafter be
entitled under any statute, the Certificate of Incorporation, these
By-laws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or
otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action
in another capacity while holding such office.

8.4 Continuation of Benefits. The rights to indemnification and
reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
this Article 8 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director or

of the executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.

8.5 Insurance. The Corporation shall have power to 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 director, officer, employee or agent of an Other Entity,

against such person and incurred by such person
in any such capacity, or arising out of such persons status as such, whether

such liability under the provisions of this Article 8, the Certificate of
Incorporation or under section 145 of the General Corporation Law or any other
provision of law.

8.6 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Article 8 shall be a
contract between the Corporation, on the one hand, and each Director and
officer who serves in such capacity at any time while this Article 8 is in
effect and any other person entitled to indemnification hereunder, on the other
hand, pursuant to which the Corporation and each such Director, officer or
other person intend to be, and shall be legally bound. No repeal or
modification of this Article 8 shall affect any rights or
obligations with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore
existing or thereafter arising or any proceeding theretofore or thereafter
brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.

8.7 Procedural Rights. The rights to indemnification and
reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
this Article 8 shall be enforceable by any person entitled to such
indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses in any court of
competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that such indemnification or
reimbursement or advancement of expenses is not appropriate shall be on the
Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of
Directors, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that such
indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is proper in the



---



##### 



31

circumstances nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its
Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) that
such person is not entitled to such indemnification or reimbursement or
advancement of expenses shall constitute a defense to the action or create a
presumption that such person is not so entitled. Such a person shall also be
indemnified for any expenses incurred in connection with successfully
establishing his or her right to such indemnification or reimbursement or
advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding.

8.8 Service Deemed at Corporations Request. Any Director or
officer of the Corporation serving in any capacity (a) another corporation of
which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of its
directors is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation or (b) any
employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any
corporation referred to in clause (a) shall be deemed to be doing so at
the request of the Corporation.

indemnified or to reimbursement or advancement of expenses as a matter of right
pursuant to this Article 8 may elect to have the right to indemnification or
reimbursement or advancement of expenses interpreted on the basis of the
applicable law in effect at the time of the occurrence of the event or events
giving rise to the applicable Proceeding, to the extent permitted by law, or on
the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time such indemnification or
reimbursement or advancement of expenses is sought. Such election shall be
made, by a notice in writing to the Corporation, at the time indemnification or
reimbursement or advancement of expenses is sought; provided,
however, that if no such notice is given, the right to indemnification
or reimbursement or advancement of



---

expenses shall be determined by the law in
effect at the time indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses
is sought.
