                               CODE OF REGULATIONS

                                    ARTICLE I
                                  SHAREHOLDERS

     SECTION 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of shareholders of the
Company for the election of directors, the consideration of reports to be laid
before such meeting, and the transaction of such other business as may properly
be brought before such meeting, shall be held at the principal office of the
Company in Akron, Ohio, at ten o'clock a.m., or at such other time as may be
designated by the Board of Directors, by the Chairman of the Board, or by the
President and specified in the notice of the meeting, on the first Monday of
April in each year, unless the Board of Directors by a resolution adopted on or
before the first day of March of any year, shall fix a different date, which
date may be any day, other than a Sunday or a legal holiday, during the period
beginning April 1 and ending April 15 of such year, in which event the meeting
shall be held on the date set by such resolution.

     SECTION 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders of the
Company may be held on any business day, when called by the Chairman of the
Board, or by the President, or by a Vice President, or by the Board acting at a
meeting, or by a majority of the directors acting without a meeting, or by the
persons who hold twenty-five percent of all shares outstanding and entitled to
vote thereat. Upon request in writing delivered either in person or by
registered mail to the President or the Secretary by any persons entitled to
call a meeting of shareholders, such officer shall forthwith cause to be given
to the shareholders entitled thereto notice of a meeting to be held on a date
not less than seven or more than sixty days after the receipt of such request,
as such officer may fix. If such notice is not given within thirty days after
the delivery or mailing of such request, the persons calling the meeting may fix
the time of the meeting and give notice thereof in the manner provided by law or
as provided in these Regulations, or cause such notice to be given by any
designated representative. Each special meeting shall be called to convene
between nine o'clock a.m. and four o'clock p.m. and shall be held at the
principal office of the Company in Akron, Ohio, unless the same is called by the
directors, acting with or without a meeting, in which case such meeting may be
held at any place either within or without the State of Ohio designated by the
directors and specified in the notice of such meeting.

     SECTION 3. Notice of Meetings. Not less than seven or more than sixty days
before the date fixed for a meeting of shareholders, written notice stating the
time, place, and purposes of such meeting shall be given by or at the direction
of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or any other person or persons
required or permitted by these Regulations to give such notice. The notice shall
be given by personal delivery, by mail, by overnight delivery service or by any
other means of communication authorized by the shareholder to whom notice is
given, to each shareholder entitled to notice of the meeting


                                        2

<PAGE>

who is of record as of the day next preceding the day on which notice is given
or, if a record date therefor is duly fixed, of record as of said date; if
mailed or sent by overnight delivery service, the notice shall be addressed to
the shareholders at their respective addresses as they appear on the records of
the Company. If sent by any other means of communication authorized by the
shareholder, the notice shall be sent to the address furnished by the
shareholder for those transmissions. Notice of the time, place, and purposes of
any meeting of shareholders may be waived in writing, either before or after the
holding of such meeting, by any shareholder, which writing shall be filed with
or entered upon the records of the meeting.

     SECTION 4. Quorum; Adjournment. Except as may be otherwise provided by law
or by the Articles of Incorporation, at any meeting of the shareholders the
holders of shares entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power of
the Company present in per- son or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for such
meeting; provided, however, that no action required by law, the Articles, or
these Regulations to be authorized or taken by a designated proportion of the
shares of the Company may be authorized or taken by a lesser proportion; and
provided, further, that the holders of a majority of the voting shares
represented thereat, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn such
meeting from time to time; if any meeting is adjourned, notice of such
adjournment need not be given if the time and place to which it is adjourned are
fixed and announced at such meeting.

     SECTION 5. Proxies. Persons entitled to vote shares or to act with respect
to shares may vote or act in person or by proxy. The person appointed as proxy
need not be a share- holder.

     SECTION 6. Approval and Ratification of Acts of Officers and Board. Except
as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation or by law, any contract,
act, or transaction, prospective or past, of the Company, or of the Board, or of
the officers may be approved or ratified by the affirmative vote at a meeting of
the shareholders, or by the written consent, with or without a meeting, of the
holders of shares entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power of
the Company, and such approval or ratification shall be as valid and binding as
though affirmatively voted for or consented to by every shareholder of the
Company.

                                   ARTICLE II
                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     SECTION 1. Number; Authority. The Board of Directors shall be composed of
eleven members unless the number of members of the Board of Directors is changed
by action of the shareholders taken in accordance with the laws of the State of
Ohio, the Articles of Incorporation and these Regulations or by a resolution
adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office.
The directors may, from time to time, increase or decrease the number of
directors, provided that the directors shall not increase the number of
directors to more than fifteen persons or decrease the number of


                                        3

<PAGE>

directors to less than nine persons. Any director's office that is created by an
increase in the number of directors pursuant to action taken by the Board of
Directors may be filled by the vote of a majority of the directors then in
office. No reduction in the number of directors by action taken by the
shareholders or the directors shall, of itself, shorten the term or result in
the removal of any incumbent director. Except where the law, the Articles of
Incorporation or these Regulations require action to be authorized or taken by
the shareholders, all of the authority of the Company shall be exercised by the
directors.

     SECTION 2. Election of Directors; Term of Office. At each annual meeting of
shareholders, or at a special meeting called for the purpose of electing
directors, each director shall be elected for a term of one year and shall hold
office until the next annual meeting of shareholders following his or her
election as a director and until his or her successor is elected and qualified,
or until his or her earlier resignation, removal from office or death. At a
meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected, only persons
nominated as candidates shall be eligible for election as directors and the
candidates receiving the greatest number of votes shall be elected.

     SECTION 3. Vacancies; Resignations; Removal of Directors. In the event of
the occurrence of any vacancy or vacancies in the Board, however caused, the
remaining directors, though less than a majority of the whole authorized number
of directors, may, by the vote of a majority of their number, fill any such
vacancy for the unexpired term of the class in which such vacancy occurred. Any
director may resign at any time by oral statement to that effect made at a
meeting of the Board or in a writing to that effect delivered to the Secretary,
such resignation to take effect immediately or at such other time as the
director may specify. All the directors, or all the directors of a particular
class, or any individual director, may be removed from office by the vote of the
holders of shares entitling them to exercise two-thirds of the voting power of
the Company entitled to vote to elect directors in place of the director or
directors to be removed, provided that unless all the directors, or all the
directors of a particular class, are removed, no individual director shall be
removed if the votes of a sufficient number of shares are cast against such
director's removal which, if cumulatively voted at an election of all the
directors, or all of the directors of a particular class, as the case may be,
would be sufficient to elect at least one director; provided further, that, if
shareholders do not have the right to vote cumulatively under the law of Ohio or
the Articles of Incorporation, such directors, class of directors or individual
director may be removed from office by the vote of the holders of shares
entitling them to exercise two-thirds of the voting power of the Company
entitled to vote to elect directors in place of the director or directors to be
removed. In the event of any such removal, a new director may be elected at the
same meeting for the unexpired term of each director removed. Failure to elect a
director to fill the unexpired term of any director so removed from office shall
be deemed to create a vacancy in the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding Article
X of these Regulations, the provisions of this Section 3 of Article II may be
amended, repealed or supplemented only by the shareholders at a meeting held for
such purpose by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares entitling them to
exercise two-thirds of the voting power of the Company on such proposal.


                                        4

     SECTION 4. Meetings. Immediately after each annual meeting of the
shareholders, the newly elected directors shall hold an organization meeting for
the purpose of electing officers and transacting any other business. Notice of
such meeting need not be given. Other meetings of the Board may be held at any
time within or without the State of Ohio in accordance with the bylaws,
resolutions, or other action by the Board. Unless otherwise expressly stated in
the notice thereof, any business may be transacted at any meeting of the Board.

     SECTION 5. Quorum; Adjournment. A quorum of the Board shall consist of a
majority of the directors then in office; provided that a majority of the
directors present at a meeting duly held, whether or not a quorum is present,
may adjourn such meeting from time to time; if any meeting is adjourned, notice
of adjournment need not be given if the time and place to which it is adjourned
are fixed and announced at such meeting. At each meeting of the Board at which a
quorum is present, all questions and business shall be determined by a majority
vote of those present except as in these Regulations otherwise expressly
provided.

     SECTION 6. Committees. The Board may from time to time create or appoint an
Executive Committee, a Finance Committee, a combined Executive and Finance
Committee, and any other committee or committees deemed advisable by the Board
for the proper transaction of the Company's business. Any such committee shall
be composed of not less than three directors (not less than five directors in
the case of an Executive and Finance Committee), each of whom shall serve at the
pleasure of, and be subject at all times to the control and direction of, the
Board. Any such committee shall act only in the intervals between meetings of
the Board and shall have such authority as adheres to the committee by virtue of
the provisions of this section or as may, from time to time, be delegated by the
Board, except that no committee shall have authority to fill vacancies in the
Board or in any committee of the Board. Subject to the aforesaid exceptions, and
in the absence of express delegation of authority by the Board, the Executive
Committee may transact all business and do and perform all things which may or
might be transacted or done by the Board, the Finance Committee shall have the
authority usually and ordinarily possessed by finance committees, and the
combined Executive and Finance Committee shall have the aforesaid authority of
the Executive Committee and of the Finance Committee. Subject to the aforesaid
exceptions with respect to the filling of vacancies in the Board or in any
committee, any person dealing with the Company shall be entitled to rely upon
any act of, or authorization of any act by, such committees, to the same extent
as an act or authorization of the Board. Each committee shall keep full and
complete records of all meetings and actions, which shall be open to inspection
by the directors. Unless otherwise ordered by the Board, any such committee may
prescribe its own rules for calling and holding meetings, and for its own method
of procedure, and may act by a majority of its members at a meeting or without a
meeting by a writing or writings signed by all of its members. The directors may
appoint one or more alternate members of any such committee to take the place of
any absent member or members at any meeting of such committee and, if permitted
by law, to join in any action of such committee authorized or taken without a
meeting; each such alternate shall serve at the pleasure of, and be subject at


                                        5

<PAGE>

all times to the control and direction of, the Board.

     SECTION 7. Bylaws. The Board may adopt bylaws for its own government, not
inconsistent with the Articles of Incorporation or these Regulations.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                    OFFICERS

     SECTION 1. Election and Designation of Officers. The Board, at its
organization meeting, may elect a Chairman of the Board and shall elect a
President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and, in its discretion, at any meeting of
the Board, may elect one or more Vice Presidents, one or more Assistant
Secretaries, one or more Assistant Treasurers, a Comptroller, one or more
Assistant Comptrollers, and such other officers as the Board may deem necessary.
The Chairman of the Board and the President shall be directors, but no one of
the other officers need be a director. Any two or more of such offices may be
held by the same person, but no officer shall execute, acknowledge, or verify
any instrument in more than one capacity, if such instrument is required to be
executed, acknowledged, or verified by two or more officers.

     SECTION 2. Term of Office; Vacancies. The officers of the Company shall
hold office until the next organization meeting of the Board and until their
successors are elected, except in case of resignation, death, or removal. The
Board may remove any officer at any time with or without cause by a two-thirds
vote of the members of the Board then in office. Any vacancy in any office may
be filled by the Board.

     SECTION 3. Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board, if any, shall
preside at all meetings of shareholders and of the Board and shall have such
authority and perform such duties as the Board may determine.

     SECTION 4. President. Except for meetings at which the Chairman of the
Board, if any, presides in accordance with the preceding Section, the President
shall preside at all meetings of shareholders and of the Board. Subject to
directions of the Board, he shall have general executive supervision over the
property, business, and affairs of the Company.

     SECTION 5. Vice Presidents. In case of the absence or disability of the
President, or when circumstances prevent the President from acting, the Vice
Presidents of the Company shall perform all the duties and possess all the
authority of the President, and shall have priority in the performance of such
duties and exercise of such authority in the order of their election by the
Board.

     SECTION 6. Secretary. The Secretary shall keep the minutes of meetings of
the shareholders and of the Board. He shall keep such books as may be required
by the Board, and shall give notices of shareholders' meetings and of Board
meetings required by law, or by these Regulations, or otherwise.

     SECTION 7. Treasurer. The Treasurer shall receive and have in charge all
money,


                                        6

<PAGE>

bills, notes, bonds, stocks in other corporations, and similar property
belonging to the Company, and shall do with the same as may be ordered by the
Board. He shall keep accurate financial accounts and hold the same open for the
inspection and examination of the directors.

     SECTION 8. Comptroller. The Comptroller shall exercise a general check upon
the disbursement of funds of the Company and shall have general charge and
supervision of the preparation of financial reports.

     SECTION 9. Other Officers. The Assistant Secretaries, Assistant Treasurers,
and Assistant Comptrollers, if any, in addition to such authority and duties as
the Board may determine, shall have such authority and perform such duties as
may be directed by their respective principal officers.

     SECTION 10. Authority and Duties. The officers shall have such authority
and perform such duties, in addition to those specifically set forth in these
Regulations, as the Board may determine. The Board is authorized to delegate the
duties of any officer to any other officer and generally to control the action
of the officers and to require the performance of duties in addition to those
mentioned herein.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                  COMPENSATION

     The Board, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors in
office, and irrespective of any personal interest of any of them, shall have
authority to establish reasonable compensation, which may include pension,
disability and death benefits, for services to the Company by directors and
officers, or to delegate such authority to one or more officers or directors.

                                    ARTICLE V
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

     The Company shall indemnify each person who is or was director, officer or
employee of the Company, or of any other corporation which he served as such at
the request of the Company, against any and all liability and reasonable expense
that may be incurred by him in connection with or resulting from any claim,
action, suit, or proceeding (whether brought by or in the right of the Company
or such other corporation or otherwise), civil or criminal, or in connection
with an appeal relating thereto, in which he may become involved, as a party or
otherwise, by reason of his being or having been a director, officer, or
employee of the Company or of such other corporation, or by reason of any past
or future action taken or not taken in his capacity as such director, officer,
or employee, whether or not he continues to be such at the time such liability
or expense is


                                        7

<PAGE>

incurred, provided such person acted, in good faith, in what he reasonably
believed to be the best interests of the Company or such other corporation, as
the case may be, and, in addition, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. As used in this
Article, the terms "liability" and "expense" shall include, but shall not be
limited to, counsel fees and disbursements and amounts of judgments, fines, or
penalties against, and amounts paid in settlement by, a director, officer, or
employee, other than amounts paid to the Company itself or to such other
corporation served at the Company's request. The termination of any claim,
action, suit, or proceeding, civil or criminal, by judgment, settlement (whether
with or without court approval) or conviction or upon a plea of guilty or of
nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that a
director, officer, or employee did not meet the standards of conduct set forth
in the first sentence of this Article. Any such director, officer, or employee
referred to in this Article who has been wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, with respect to any claim, action, suit, or proceeding of the
character described herein shall be entitled to indemnification as of right.
Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any indemnification hereunder
shall be made at the discretion of the Company, but only if (1) the Board,
acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to (or who have
been wholly successful with respect to) such claim, action, suit, or proceeding,
shall find that the director, officer, or employee has met the standards of
conduct set forth in the first sentence of this Article, or (2) independent
legal counsel (who may be the regular counsel of the Company) shall deliver to
it their written advice that, in their opinion, such director, officer, or
employee has met such standards. Expense incurred with respect to any such
claim, action, suit, or proceeding may be advanced by the Company prior to the
final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
recipient to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he
is entitled to indemnification under this Article. The rights of indemnification
provided in this Article shall be in addition to any rights to which any person
concerned may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law, and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of any such
person.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                  RECORD DATES

     For any lawful purpose, including, without limitation, the determination of
the shareholders who are entitled to:

          (1) receive notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders,

          (2) receive payment of any dividend or distribution,

          (3) receive or exercise rights of purchase of or subscription for, or
exchange or conversion of, shares or other securities, subject to contract
rights with respect thereto, or

          (4) participate in the execution of written consents, waivers, or
releases, the Board may fix a record date which shall not be a date earlier than
the date on which the


                                        8

<PAGE>

record date is fixed and, in the cases provided for in clauses (1), (2), and
(3) above, shall not be more than sixty days preceding the date of the meeting
of shareholders, or the date fixed for the payment of any dividend or
distribution, or the date fixed for the receipt or the exercise of rights, as
the case may be. The record date for the purpose of the determination of the
shareholders who are entitled to receive notice of or to vote at a meeting of
shareholders shall continue to be the record date for all adjournments of such
meeting, unless the Board or the persons who shall have fixed the original
record date shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article, fix
another date, and in case a new record date is so fixed, notice thereof and of
the date to which the meeting shall have been adjourned shall be given to
shareholders of record as of such date in accordance with the same requirements
as those applying to a meeting newly called. The Board may close the share
transfer books against transfers of shares during the whole or any part of the
period provided for in this Article, including the date of the meeting of
shareholders and the period ending with the date, if any, to which adjourned.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                             EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS

     Except as otherwise provided in these Regulations, or by specific or
general resolutions of the Board, all documents evidencing conveyances by or
contracts or other obligations of the Company shall be signed by the Chairman of
the Board, if any, the President, or a Vice President, and attested by the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                             CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES

     SECTION 1. Form of Certificates and Signatures. Each holder of shares is
entitled to one or more certificates, signed by the Chairman of the Board or the
President or a Vice President and by the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, the
Treasurer, or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company, which shall certify the
number and class of shares held by him in the Company, but no certificate for
shares shall be executed or delivered until such shares are fully paid. When
such a certificate is countersigned by an incorporated transfer agent or
registrar, the signature of any of said officers of the Company may be
facsimile, engraved, stamped, or printed. Although any officer of the Company
whose manual or facsimile signature is affixed to such a certificate so
countersigned ceases to be such officer before the certificate is delivered,
such certificate nevertheless shall be effective in all respects when delivered.

     SECTION 2. Transfer of Shares. Shares of the Company shall be transferable
upon the books of the Company by the holders thereof, in person, or by a duly
authorized attorney, upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like
number of shares of the same class or series, with duly executed assignment and
power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, and with such proof of
the authenticity of the signatures to such assignment and power of transfer as
the Company or its agents may reasonably require.


                                        9

<PAGE>

     SECTION 3. Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificates. The Company may issue a
new certificate for shares in place of any certificate theretofore issued by it
and alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, and the Board may, in its
discretion, require the owner, or his legal representatives, to give the Company
a bond containing such terms as the Board may require to protect the Company or
any person injured by the execution and delivery of a new certificate.

     SECTION 4. Transfer Agents and Registrars. The Board may appoint, or revoke
the appointment of, transfer agents and registrars and may require all
certificates for shares to bear the signatures of such transfer agents and
registrars, or any of them. The Board shall have authority to make all such
rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer,
and registration of certificates for shares of the Company.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                    AUTHORITY TO TRANSFER AND VOTE SECURITIES

     The Chairman of the Board, the President, and a Vice President of the
Company are each authorized to sign the name of the Company and to perform all
acts necessary to effect a transfer of any shares, bonds, other evidences of
indebtedness or obligations, subscription rights, warrants, and other securities
of another corporation owned by the Company and to issue the necessary powers of
attorney for the same; and each such officer is authorized, on behalf of the
Company, to vote such securities, to appoint proxies with respect thereto, and
to execute consents, waivers, and releases with respect thereto, or to cause any
such action to be taken.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                   AMENDMENTS

     The Regulations of the Company may be amended or new Regulations may be
adopted by the shareholders, at a meeting held for such purpose by the
affirmative vote of the holders of shares entitling them to exercise a majority
of the voting power of the Company on such proposal or, without a meeting, by
the written consent of the holders of shares entitling them to exercise
two-thirds of the voting power on such proposal.


                                       10
