MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

SECTION 2.01. Time and Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, on such date and at such time as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors (or the Chairman in the absence of a designation by the Board of Directors).

SECTION 2.02. Annual Meetings; Election of Directors. An annual meeting of stockholders, commencing with the year 2000, shall be held at such date and time as directors may determine to transact such business as may properly be brought before the meeting. Prior to a Termination Event (as defined below), directors shall be nominated and elected at the annual meeting in accordance with Section 3.02 and Section 3.03. After a Termination Event has occurred, directors shall (subject to Section 3.03(c)) be elected by stockholders by ballot at the annual meeting, unless they are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting as permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended ("Delaware Law"). For purposes of these bylaws, a "Termination Event" means the disposition by Roche and its "Affiliates" (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of beneficial ownership of Common Stock of the Corporation which disposition has the effect of causing Parent's Voting Interest (as defined herein) to be less than 40%.

SECTION 2.03. Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders may be called by the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board and shall be called by the Secretary at the request in writing of holders of record of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.

SECTION 2.04. Notice of Meetings and Adjourned Meetings; Waivers of Notice. (a) Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state 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 Delaware Law, such notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. Unless these bylaws otherwise require, when a meeting is adjourned to another time or place (whether or not a quorum is present), 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. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or 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.

(b) A written waiver of any such notice signed by the person entitled thereto, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends the 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. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

SECTION 2.05. Quorum. Unless otherwise provided under the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws and subject to Delaware Law, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy shall adjourn the meeting, 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 notified.

SECTION 2.06. Voting. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation and subject to Delaware Law, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of capital stock of the Corporation held by such stockholder. Any share of capital stock of the Corporation held by the Corporation shall have no voting rights. Unless otherwise provided in Delaware Law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation present, in person or by written proxy, at a meeting of stockholders and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

(b) Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by written proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

SECTION 2.07. Action by Consent. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or any action which may 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 capital 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 to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in 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. Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. 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 and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation as provided in Section 2.07(b).

(b) 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 and Delaware Law to the Corporation, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in 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. Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

SECTION 2.08. Organization. At each meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board, if one shall have been elected, or in his absence or if one shall not have been elected, the director designated by the vote of the majority of the directors present at such meeting, shall act as chairman of the meeting. The Secretary (or in his absence or inability to act, the person whom the chairman of the meeting shall appoint secretary of the meeting) shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

SECTION 2.09. Order of Business; Conduct of Meetings. The order of business at all meetings of stockholders shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting. In addition, the Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with law and such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and to adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations, or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting may determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The chairman of the meeting, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly brought before the meeting and, if such chairman should so determine, declare to the meeting that any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

SECTION 2.10. Inspectors of Election. The Corporation may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a 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 or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors' count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

ARTICLE 3

DIRECTORS

SECTION 3.01. General Powers. Except as otherwise provided in Delaware Law or the certificate of incorporation, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 3.02. Composition of Board of Directors; Terms of Directors. (a) Subject to the other provisions hereof, the number of directors comprising the Board shall be six, and shall include two nominees of Roche Holdings, Inc. ("Roche"), one executive officer of the Corporation nominated by the nominating or proxy committee, and three Independent Directors (as defined herein) nominated by the nominating or proxy committee. The Board shall at all times include at least two Independent Directors, and one executive officer of the Corporation. For purposes of these bylaws, the term "Independent Director" means a director of the Corporation who is not (i) an officer of the Corporation, (ii) an employee, director, principal stockholder or partner of Roche or any affiliate of Roche, or (iii) an employee, director, principal stockholder or partner of an entity (other than the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) that was dependent upon Roche or any affiliate of Roche for more than 10% of its revenues or earnings in its most recent fiscal year. After a Termination Event has occurred, this Section 3.02(a) shall be of no further force or effect, and directors shall be elected as set forth in Section 2.02.

(b) The directors of the Corporation shall be nominated as provided in these bylaws, and shall serve until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and these bylaws. The term of office of each director shall be one year, provided that this shall not prevent any director from serving multiple or successive terms.

SECTION 3.03. Roche's Right to Proportional Representation. (a) Upon the request of Roche at any time by notice to the Corporation (a "Governance Notice"), Roche shall be immediately entitled to representation on the Board such that Roche shall have a number of directors designated by Roche equal to Parent's Voting Interest times the total number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number if Parent's Voting Interest is greater than 50% and rounded down to the next whole number if Parent's Voting Interest is less than or equal to 50%. For purposes of these bylaws, "Parent's Voting Interest" means the percentage of the outstanding common stock, par value $0.02 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Corporation beneficially owned by Roche and its affiliates.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Bylaws, and without limiting the Corporation's obligations pursuant to Section 4.04(g) of the Affiliation Agreement between the Corporation and Roche Holdings, Inc. dated as of July 22, 1999, as amended as of October 22, 1999 (as so amended and as hereafter amended by the Corporation and Roche, the "Affiliation Agreement"), (a) Parent's Voting Interest, (b) the ownership of Roche and/or its affiliates and (c) Roche's total voting power for purpose of Section 3.04(d)(i)(A)
and (B) shall at all times be calculated for purposes of the Bylaws as if the
Corporation had, as of the time of such calculation, purchased all shares that
would, as of such time, have been required to be purchased by the Corporation
pursuant to Section 4.04(g) of the Affiliation Agreement (determined without
regard to the exception at the end of Section 4.04(g)(2) of the Affiliation
Agreement).

(b) Upon receipt of a Governance Notice, the Board and the Corporation shall immediately take or cause to be taken all action not previously taken to cause the numbers of directors constituting the Board to be increased, and to cause the Board to fill the vacancies created by any such increase by electing Roche's nominees for such vacancies, as necessary in order to achieve the proportionality required by Section 3.03(a). Any directors elected to fill a vacancy shall serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders.

(c) After a Termination Event has occurred, Sections 3.03(a) and 3.03(b) shall be of no further force or effect, and Roche shall thereafter be entitled to nominate a number of directors (and their successors) which is proportional to Parent's Voting Interest, rounded down to the next whole number, until and unless Parent's Voting Interest is less than 5%. Both prior to and after a Termination Event, Roche may designate an affiliate of Roche to make nominations of directors and committee members on its behalf.

SECTION 3.04. Committees. (a) The Board shall designate a nominating or proxy committee, an executive committee, an audit committee and a compensation committee. No action by any such committee shall be valid unless taken at a meeting for which adequate notice has been duly given to or waived by the members of such committee. Such notice shall include a description of the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting and no other business may be transacted at such meeting. Any committee member unable to participate in person at any meeting shall be given the opportunity to participate by telephone.

(b) Any such committee, to the extent provided by resolution of the 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 affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to the following matter: (i) approving or adopting, or recommending to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by Delaware Law to be submitted to the stockholders for approval or (ii) adopting, amending or repealing any bylaw of the Corporation. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required. The Corporation shall be governed by the provisions of Section 141(c)(2) of Delaware Law, as amended effective July 1, 1996.

(c) Each committee of the Board (other than any special committee or committee of Independent Directors that may be constituted for purposes of making any determination provided for by agreement between the Corporation and Roche) shall at all times include at least one director designated by Roche (and, following a Governance Notice, no less than a proportional number of directors designated by Roche). Any director designated by Roche to serve on any committee may designate as his or her alternate another director designated by Roche.

(d) The nominating or proxy committee shall at all times have three members. At any time that Roche owns 80% or more of the total voting power of the Corporation stock (within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the nominating or proxy committee shall include two nominees of Roche and one Independent Director. At any time that Roche owns less than 80% of the total voting power, the nominating or proxy committee shall include (i) a number of nominees of Roche that is equal to the product of (A) the percentage owned by Roche of the total voting power and (B) three, rounded up to the next whole number if Roche's total voting power is greater than 50% and rounded down to the next whole number if Roche's total voting power is less than or equal to 50%, provided that (X) Roche shall at no time have more than two nominees, and (Y) if Roche's ownership of less than 80% of the total voting power is the result of a breach by the Corporation of any obligation under any agreement with Roche, the nominating or proxy committee shall include two nominees of Roche, and (ii) a number of Independent Directors equal to three minus the number of nominees of Roche determined pursuant to the preceding clause (i).

(e) After a Termination Event has occurred, Sections 3.04(c) and 3.04(d) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

SECTION 3.05. Nomination of Directors. The nominating or proxy committee shall require, for the nomination of any person not designated by Roche, the approval of a majority of the nominating or proxy committee.

SECTION 3.06. Quorum and Manner of Acting. Unless the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws require a greater number, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place (whether or not a quorum is present), 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. At the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors the directors present thereat shall adjourn the meeting, from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

SECTION 3.07. Time and Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors shall hold its meetings at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and at such time as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors (or the Chairman in the absence of a determination by the Board of Directors).

SECTION 3.08. Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors shall meet for the purpose of organization, the election of officers and the transaction of other business, as soon as practicable after each annual meeting of stockholders, on the same day and at the same place where such annual meeting shall be held. Notice of such meeting need not be given. In the event such annual meeting is not so held, the annual meeting of the Board of Directors may be held at such place either within or without the State of Delaware, on such date and at such time as shall be specified in a notice thereof given as hereinafter provided in Section 3.10 herein or in a waiver of notice thereof signed by any director who chooses to waive the requirement of notice.

Notice of special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be given to each director at least three days before the date of the meeting in such manner as is determined by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 3.11. Action by Consent. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

SECTION 3.12. Telephonic Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, 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, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

SECTION 3.13. Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board of Directors or to the Secretary of the Corporation. The resignation of any director shall take effect upon receipt of notice thereof or at such later time as shall be specified in such notice; and unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

SECTION 3.14. Vacancies. Except as otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof (or any particular holder or holders) are entitled to elect one or more directors by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof (or particular holder or holders) then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected. Each director so chosen shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in accordance with Delaware Law.

SECTION 3.15. Removal. Directors may be removed only as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation.
