                           LITTLE SWITZERLAND, INC.
                           (as of January 26, 2000)


                                   ARTICLE I
                                   ---------

                                 Stockholders
                                 ------------

     SECTION 1.  Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of stockholders shall be
                 --------------
held at the hour, date and place within or without the United States which is
fixed by the Board of Directors, which time, date and place may subsequently be
changed at any time by vote of the Board of Directors.  If no annual meeting has
been held for a period of thirteen months after the Corporation's last annual
meeting of stockholders, a special meeting in lieu thereof may be held, and such
special meeting shall have, for the purposes of these By-Laws or otherwise, all
the force and effect of an annual meeting.  Any and all references hereafter in
these By-Laws to an annual meeting or annual meetings also shall be deemed to
refer to any special meeting(s) in lieu thereof.

     SECTION 2.  Matters to be Considered at Annual 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
annual meeting (a) by, or at the direction of, the Board of Directors or a
designated committee thereof or (b) by any holder of record (both as of the time
notice of such proposal is given by the stockholder as set forth below and as of
the record date for the annual meeting in question) of any shares of capital
stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such annual meeting who complies
with the procedures set forth in this Section.  In addition to any other
applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting by a holder of record of any shares of capital stock entitled to vote at
such annual meeting, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in
writing to the Secretary of the Corporation as set forth in this Section and
such stockholder or his representative must be present at the annual meeting.
To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to, or mailed and
received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation (a) not less
than 75 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the
immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders (the "Anniversary Date") or
(b) in the event that the annual meeting of stockholders is called for a date
more than seven days prior to the Anniversary Date, not later than the close of
business on (i) the 20th day (or if that day is not a business day of the
Corporation, on the
<PAGE>

next succeeding business day) following the first date of public disclosure or
(2) the 75th day prior to such scheduled date of such meeting (or if that day is
not a business day for the Corporation, on the next succeeding business day).
Any public disclosure of the scheduled date of the meeting made by the
Corporation by means of a press release, a report or other document filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, or a letter or report sent to
stockholders of record of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be sufficient
public disclosure of the date of such meeting for purposes of these By-Laws.
A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the
stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description
of the proposal desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons
for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as
they appear on the Corporation's stock transfer books, of the stockholder
proposing such business and of the beneficial owners (if any) of the stock
registered in such stockholder's name and the name and address of other
stockholders known by such stockholder to be supporting such proposal on the
date of the stockholder notice, (c) the class and number of shares of the
Corporation's capital stock which are held of record, beneficially owned or
represented by proxy by the stockholder and by any other stockholders known by
such stockholder to be supporting such proposal on the record date for the
annual meeting in question (if such date shall then have been made publicly
available) and on the date of such stockholder's notice, and (d) any material
interest of the stockholder in such proposal.

     If the Board of Directors, or a designated committee thereof, determines
that any stockholder proposal was not timely made in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, or that the information provided in a stockholder's
notice does not satisfy the informational requirements of this Section in any
material respect, then such proposal shall not be presented for action at the
annual meeting in question.  If neither the Board of Directors nor such
committee makes a determination as to the validity of any stockholder proposal,
the presiding officer of the annual meeting shall determine and declare at the
annual meeting whether the stockholder proposal was made in accordance with the
terms of this Section.  If the presiding officer determines that a stockholder
proposal was made in accordance with the terms of this Section, he shall so
declare at the annual meeting and ballots shall be provided for use at the
meeting with respect to any such proposal.  If the presiding officer determines
that a stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the terms of this
Section, he shall so declare at the annual meeting and any such proposal shall
not be acted upon at the annual meeting.

     The provisions of this By-Law shall not prevent the consideration and
approval or disapproval at the annual meeting of reports of officers, Directors
and committees of the Board of Directors, but in connection with such reports,
no new business shall be acted upon at such annual meeting unless stated, filed
and received as herein provided.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-Law, a stockholder
shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations
thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this By-Law.  Nothing in
this By-Law shall be deemed to affect any rights of

                                       2
<PAGE>

stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy
statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

     SECTION 3.  Special Meetings.  Except as otherwise required by law and
                 ----------------
subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock,
special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by
the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the Directors then in office; provided, however, that if at the
time of such call there is an Interested Stockholder, any such call shall also
require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Continuing Directors then in
office.

     SECTION 4.  Matters to be Considered at Special Meetings.  Only those
                 --------------------------------------------
matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or
acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, unless
otherwise provided by law.

     SECTION 5.  Notice of Meetings; Adjournments.  A written notice of all
                 --------------------------------
annual meetings of stockholders stating the hour, date and place of such annual
meetings shall be given by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary (or other
person authorized by these By-Laws or by law) not less than 10 days nor more
than 60 days before the meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat
and to each stockholder who, by law or under the Certificate of Incorporation or
under these By-Laws, is entitled to such notice, by delivering such notice to
him or by mailing it, postage prepaid, addressed to such stockholder at the
address of such stockholder as it appears on the Corporation's stock transfer
books.  Such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when hand delivered to such
address or deposited in the mail so addressed, with postage prepaid.

     Notice of all special meetings of stockholders shall be given in the same
manner as provided for annual meetings of the stockholders, except that the
written notice of all special meetings shall state the purpose or purposes for
which the meeting has been called.

     Notice of an annual or special meeting of stockholders need not be given to
a stockholder if a written waiver of notice is executed before or after such
meeting by such stockholder or such stockholder's authorized attorney, if
communication with such stockholder is unlawful, or if such stockholder attends
such meeting, unless such attendance was for the express purpose of objecting at
the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the
meeting was not lawfully called or convened.  Neither the business to be
transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of stockholders
need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

     The Board of Directors may postpone and reschedule any previously scheduled
annual or special meeting of stockholders and any record date with respect
thereto, regardless of whether any notice or public disclosure with respect to
any such meeting has been sent or made pursuant to Section 2 of this Article I
or Section 3 of Article II hereof or otherwise.  When any meeting is convened,
the presiding officer may adjourn the meeting if (a) no quorum is present

                                       3
<PAGE>

for the transaction of business, (b) the Board of Directors determines that
adjournment is necessary or appropriate to enable the stockholders to consider
fully information which the Board of Directors determines has not been made
sufficiently or timely available to stockholders, or (c) the Board of Directors
determines that adjournment is otherwise in the best interests of the
Corporation. When any annual or special meeting of stockholders is adjourned to
another hour, date or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting
other than an announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken of
the hour, date and place to which the meeting is adjourned; provided, however,
that if the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a
new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned
meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat
and each stockholder who, by law or under the Certificate of Incorporation or
these By-Laws, is entitled to such notice.

     SECTION 6.  Quorum.  The holders of a majority in interest of all stock
                 ------
issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum at any annual or special meeting of stockholders; but
if less than a quorum is present at a meeting, a majority in interest of the
stockholders present or the presiding officer may adjourn the meeting from time
to time, and the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice, except
as provided in Section 5 of this Article I.  At such adjourned meeting at which
a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.  The stockholders present at a
duly constituted meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a
quorum.

     SECTION 7.  Voting and Proxies.  Stockholders shall have one vote for each
                 ------------------
share of stock entitled to vote owned by them of record according to the books
of the Corporation, unless otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of
Incorporation.  Stockholders may vote either in person or by written proxy, but
no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless
the proxy provides for a longer period.  Proxies shall be filed with the
Secretary of the meeting before being voted.  Except as otherwise limited
therein or as otherwise provided by law, proxies shall entitle the persons
authorized thereby to vote at any adjournment of such meeting, but they shall
not be valid after final adjournment of such meeting.  A proxy with respect to
stock held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by or
on behalf of any one of them unless at or prior to the exercise of the proxy the
Corporation receives a specific written notice to the contrary from any one of
them.  A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a stockholder shall
be deemed valid, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the
challenger.

     SECTION 8.  Action at Meeting.  When a quorum is present, any matter before
                 -----------------
any annual or special meeting of stockholders shall be decided by vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares of stock voting on such matter, except where
a larger vote is required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by
these By-Laws.  Any election by stockholders shall be determined by a plurality
of the votes cast, except where a larger vote is required by law, by the
Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws.  The Corporation shall not
directly or

                                       4
<PAGE>

indirectly vote any shares of its own stock; provided, however, that the
Corporation may vote shares which it holds in a fiduciary capacity to the extent
permitted by law.

     SECTION 9.  Action by Consent.  Any action required or permitted to be
                 -----------------
taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly
constituted annual or special meeting of such holders or by a consent in writing
signed by the holders of all of the outstanding shares authorized to vote at
such meeting.

     SECTION 10.  Stockholder Lists.  The Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
                 ------------------
(or the Corporation's transfer agent or other person authorized by these By-Laws
or by law) shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every annual or
special 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, for
any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period
of at least 10 days prior to the meeting, 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.  The list shall also be produced and kept at the hour, date and place of
the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any
stockholder who is present.

     SECTION 11.  Presiding Officer.  The Chairman of the Board, if one is
                 ------------------
elected, or if not elected or in his absence, such other person who is chosen by
the Board of Directors, shall preside at all annual or special meetings of
stockholders and shall have the power, among other things, to adjourn such
meeting at any time and from time to time, subject to Sections 5 and 6 of this
Article I.  The order of business and all other matters of procedure at any
meeting of the stockholders shall be determined by the presiding officer.

     SECTION 12.  Voting Procedures and Inspectors of Elections.  The
                  ---------------------------------------------
Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or
more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof.  The
Corporation 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
a meeting of stockholders, the presiding officer shall appoint one or more
inspectors to act at the meeting.  Any inspector may, but need not, be an
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation.  Each inspector, before entering
upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to
execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the
best of his ability.  The inspectors shall perform such duties as are required
by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, including
the counting of all votes and ballots.  The inspectors may appoint or retain
other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the
duties of the inspectors.  The presiding officer may review all determinations
made by the inspector(s), and in so doing the presiding officer shall be
entitled to exercise his sole judgment and discretion and he shall not be bound
by any determinations made by the inspector(s).  All determinations by the

                                       5
<PAGE>

inspector(s) and, if applicable, the presiding officer shall be subject to
further review by any court of competent jurisdiction.


                                  ARTICLE II
                                  ----------

                                   Directors
                                   ---------

     SECTION 1.  Powers.  All the power of the Corporation shall be exercised by
                 ------
or under the direction of the Board of Directors except as otherwise provided by
the Certificate of Incorporation or required by law.  In the event of a vacancy
in the Board of Directors, the remaining Directors, except as otherwise provided
by law, may exercise the powers of the full Board until the vacancy is filled.

     SECTION 2.  Number and Terms.  Except as otherwise fixed pursuant to the
                 ----------------
provisions of Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation relating to the
rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock to elect
Directors, the number of Directors of the Corporation shall be fixed by
resolution duly adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors.  The
Directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any class or
series of preferred stock, shall be classified, with respect to the time for
which they severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number
as possible as determined by the Board of Directors, with one class to be
elected annually.

     The initial Directors of the Corporation shall hold office as follows:  the
first class of Directors shall hold office initially for a term expiring at the
annual meeting of stockholders to be held in l992, the second class of Directors
shall hold office initially for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
stockholders to be held in l993, and the third class of Directors shall hold
office initially for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be
held in l994, with the members of each class to hold office until their
respective successors are duly elected and qualified.  At each annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Corporation, Directors elected to succeed those whose
terms are expiring at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term
expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following
the year of their election and until their respective successors are duly
elected and qualified.

     SECTION 3.  Director Nominations.  Nominations of candidates for election
                 --------------------
as Directors of the Corporation at any annual meeting of stockholders may be
made (a) by, or at the direction of, a majority of the Board of Directors or a
designated committee thereof, or (b) by any holder of record (both as of the
time notice of such nomination is given by the stockholder as set forth below
and as of the record date for the annual meeting in question) of any shares of
the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such annual meeting who
complies with the procedures set forth in this Section.  Any stockholder who
seeks to make such a nomination, or his representative, must be present in
person at the annual meeting.

                                       6
<PAGE>

Only persons nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Section shall be eligible for election as Directors at an annual meeting of
stockholders.

     Nominations, other than those made by, or at the direction of, the Board of
Directors or a designated committee thereof shall be made pursuant to timely
notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation as set forth in this
Section.  To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to, or mailed
and received, at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (a) not less
than 75 days nor more than 120 days prior to the Anniversary Date or (b) in the
event that the annual meeting of stockholders is called for a date more than
seven days prior to the Anniversary Date, not later than the close of business
on (i) the 20th day (or if that day is not a business day for the Corporation,
on the next succeeding business day) following the first date on which the date
of such meeting was publicly disclosed or (ii) if such date of public disclosure
occurs more than 75 days prior to such scheduled date of such meeting, then the
later of (1) the 20th day (or if that day is not a business day for the
Corporation, on the next succeeding business day) following the first date of
public disclosure of the date of such meeting or (2) the 75th day prior to such
scheduled date of such meeting (or if that day is not a business day for the
Corporation, on the next succeeding business day).  Any public disclosure of the
scheduled date of the meeting made by the Corporation by means of a press
release, a report or other document filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, or a letter or report sent to stockholders of record of the
Corporation, shall be deemed to be sufficient public disclosure of the date of
such meeting for purposes of these By-Laws.  Such stockholder's notice shall set
forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for
election or re-election as a director (i) the name, age, business address and
residence address of such person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of
such person during the past five years, (iii) the class and number of shares of
the Corporation's capital stock which are beneficially owned by such person on
the date of such stockholder notice, (iv) a description of any of the following
events that has occurred within the last five years and that is material to the
evaluation of the ability or integrity of such proposed nominee: (1) a petition
under Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency laws was filed by or
against such person, (2) such person was convicted in a criminal proceeding or
was a named subject of a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and
other minor offenses), (3) such person was found by any court of competent
jurisdiction to have violated any Federal or state securities law or Federal
commodities law, which judgment or finding has not been subsequently reversed,
suspended or vacated, or (4) such person was the subject of any order, judgment
or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of
competent jurisdiction or of any Federal or state governmental or quasi-
governmental agency, authority or commission enjoining him or otherwise limiting
him from engaging in any type of business practice or in any activity in
connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity, (v) the
consent of each nominee to serve as a Director if so elected, and (vi) a
representation that such person qualifies as a nominee for election as a
Director of the Corporation under Section 17 of this Article II, and (b) as to
the stockholder giving the notice (i) the name and address, as they appear on
the Corporation's stock transfer books, of such stockholder and of the
beneficial owners (if any) of the stock registered in such stockholder's name
and the name and address of other stockholders known by such stockholder to be

                                       7
<PAGE>

supporting such nominees, (ii) the class and number of shares of the
Corporation's capital stock which are beneficially owned by such stockholder and
such beneficial owners (if any) on the date of such stockholder notice and by
any other stockholders known by such stockholder to be supporting such nominees
on the date of such stockholder notice, (iii) a representation that the
stockholder or his representative intends to appear in person at the meeting to
nominate the person or persons specified in the notice, (iv) a description of
all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each nominee and
any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which
the nomination or nominations are to be made by such stockholders; provided,
that nothing in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section shall require the
stockholder giving such notice to provide to the Corporation copies of such
stockholder's preliminary or definitive proxy, proxy statement, or other
soliciting material filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. At the
request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by, or at the direction
of, the Board of Directors for election as a Director at an annual meeting 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 such nominee.

     No person shall be elected by the stockholders as a Director of the
Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Section.  Election of Directors at the annual meeting need not be by written
ballot, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors or presiding officer
at such annual meeting.  If written ballots are to be used, ballots bearing the
names of all the persons who have been nominated for election as Directors at
the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section
shall be provided for use at the annual meeting.

     If the Board of Directors, or a designated committee thereof, determines
that any stockholder nomination was not timely made in accordance with the terms
of this Section or that the information provided in a stockholder's notice does
not satisfy the informational requirements of this Section in any material
respect, then such nomination shall not be considered at the annual meeting in
question.  If neither the Board of Directors nor such committee makes a
determination as to the validity of any nominations by a stockholder as set
forth above, the presiding officer of the annual meeting shall determine and
declare at the annual meeting whether a nomination was made in accordance with
the terms of this Section.  If the presiding officer determines that a
nomination was made in accordance with the terms of this Section, he shall so
declare at the annual meeting and ballots shall be provided for use at the
meeting with respect to such nomination.  If the presiding officer determines
that a nomination was not made in accordance with the terms of this Section, he
shall so declare at the annual meeting and such nomination shall be disregarded.

     SECTION 4.  Qualification.  No Director need be a stockholder of the
                 -------------
Corporation.  Unless waived by a vote of the Board of Directors, no individual
may be elected as a Director of the Corporation if he has reached the age of
72 years at the time of election.

     SECTION 5.  Vacancies.  Except as otherwise fixed pursuant to the
                 ---------
provisions of Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation relating to the
rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock to elect
Directors, any vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors, including any
vacancy created by reason of an increase in the number of Directors or resulting
from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes, shall be
filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors
then in office, even if less than a quorum of the Board of Directors; provided,
however, that, if there is an Interested Stockholder at the time of such vote,
the filling of such vacancy shall also require the affirmative vote of a
majority of the Continuing Directors then in office.  Any Director appointed in
accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of
the full term of the class of Directors in which the new directorship was
created or the vacancy occurred and until such Director's successor shall have
been duly elected and qualified.  When the number of Directors is increased or
decreased, the Board of Directors shall determine the class or classes to which
the increased or decreased number of Directors shall be apportioned; provided,
however, that no decrease in the number of Directors shall shorten the term of
any incumbent Director.  In the event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors,
the remaining Directors, except as otherwise provided by law, may exercise the
powers of the full Board of Directors until the vacancy is filled.

     SECTION 6.  Removal.  Subject to the rights of any class or series of
                 -------
preferred stock to elect Directors, any Director (including persons elected by
Directors to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors) may be removed from
office only with cause and by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the
total votes eligible to be cast by stockholders at a duly constituted meeting of
stockholders called expressly for such purpose.  A Director may not be removed
from office without cause.  At least 30 days prior to any meeting of
stockholders at which it is proposed that any Director be removed from office,
written notice shall be sent to the Director whose removal will be considered at
the meeting.

     SECTION 7.  Resignation.  A Director may resign at any time by giving
                 -----------
written notice to the Chairman of the Board, if one is elected, the President or
the Secretary.  A resignation shall be effective upon receipt, unless the
resignation otherwise provides.

     SECTION 8.  Regular Meetings.  The regular annual meeting of the Board of
                 ----------------
Directors shall be held, without other notice than this By-Law, on the same date
and at the same place as the annual meeting of stockholders following the close
of such meeting of stockholders.  Other regular meetings of the Board of
Directors may be held at such hour, date and place as the Board of Directors may
by resolution from time to time determine without other notice than such
resolution.

     SECTION 9.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors
                 ----------------
may be called, orally or in writing, by or at the request of any two Directors.
The person calling any such special meeting of the Board of Directors may fix
the hour, date and place thereof.

notice of the meeting.  The attendance of a Director at a meeting shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Director attends a
meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business
because such meeting is not lawfully called or convened.  Except as otherwise
required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws,

Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such
meeting.

     SECTION 13.  Action by Consent.  Any action required or permitted to be

consent shall be filed with the records of

                  -----------------------
meetings of the Board of Directors by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all Directors participating in the

                  ----------
the Directors then in office, may elect from its number one or more committees,

thereto some or all of its powers except those which by law, by the Certificate
of Incorporation or by these By-Laws may not be delegated.  Except as the Board
of Directors may otherwise determine, any such committee may make rules for the
conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors
or in such rules, its business shall be conducted so far as possible in the same
manner as is provided by these By-Laws for the Board of Directors.  All members
of such committees shall hold such offices at the pleasure of the Board of
Directors.  The Board of Directors may abolish any such committee at any time.
Any committee to which the Board of Directors delegates any of its powers or
duties shall keep records of its meetings and shall report its action to the
Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors shall have power to rescind any
action of any committee, but no such rescission shall have retroactive effect.
With approval of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer may appoint
such other committees consisting of such Directors as the Chief Executive
Officer shall select.  Any recommendations of such committees appointed by the
Chief Executive Officer shall be submitted to the Board of Directors.

     SECTION 16.  Compensation of Directors.  Directors shall receive such
                  -------------------------

prescribe.

Article V, each Officer of the Corporation shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the General
Corporation Law of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended
(but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment
permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law
permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against any and
all Expenses incurred by such Officer in connection with any Proceeding in which
such Officer is involved as a result of serving or having served (a) as an
Officer or employee of the Corporation, (b) as a director, officer or employee
of any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, or (c) in any capacity with

Proceeding initiated by such Officer only if such Proceeding was authorized by
the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

                 ---------------------
of this Article V, each Non-Officer Employee of the Corporation may, in the
discretion of the Board of Directors, be indemnified by the Corporation to the
fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as the

only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide
broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to

Non-Officer Employee in connection with any Proceeding in which such Non-Officer
Employee is involved as a result of serving or having served (a) as a Non-
Officer Employee of the Corporation, (b) as a director, officer or employee of
any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, or (c) in any capacity with any

entity at the request or direction of the Corporation, including service with
respect to employee or other benefit plans, and shall continue as to a Non-
Officer Employee who has ceased to be a Non-Officer Employee and shall inure to

Section 2(c) or 3(c) above unless the following two conditions are met: (a) such
service was requested or directed in each specific case by vote of the Board of
Directors prior to the occurrence of the event to which the indemnification
relates, and (b) the Corporation maintains insurance coverage for the type of
indemnification sought. In no event shall the Corporation be liable for
indemnification under Section 2(c) or 3(c) above for any amount in excess of the
proceeds of insurance received with respect to such coverage as the Corporation
in its discretion may elect to carry. The Corporation may but shall not be
required to maintain insurance coverage with respect to indemnification under
Section 2(c) or 3(c) above. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
4 but subject to Section 5 of this Article V, the Board of Directors may provide
an Officer or Non-Officer Employee with indemnification under Section 2(c) or
3(c) above as to a specific Proceeding even if one or both of the two conditions
specified in this Section 4 have not been met and even if the amount of the
indemnification exceeds the amount of the proceeds of any insurance which the
Corporation may have elected to carry, provided that the Board of Directors in
its discretion determines it to be in the best interests of the Corporation to
do so.

     SECTION 5.  Good Faith.  No indemnification shall be provided to an Officer
                 ----------
or to a Non-Officer Employee with respect to a matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudicated in any Proceeding not to have acted in good faith in
the reasonable belief that the action of such person was in the best interests
of the Corporation.  In the event that a Proceeding is compromised or settled so
as to impose any liability or obligation upon an Officer or Non-Officer
Employee, no indemnification shall be provided to said Officer or Non-Officer
Employee with respect to a matter if there be a determination that with respect
to such matter such person did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief
that the action of such person was in the best interests of the Corporation.
The determination shall be made by a majority vote of those Directors who are
not involved in such Proceeding.  However, if more than half of the Directors
are involved in such Proceeding, the determination shall be made by a majority
vote of a committee of three disinterested Directors chosen by the disinterested
Directors at a regular or special meeting.  If there are fewer than three
disinterested Directors, the determination shall be based upon the opinion of
the Corporation's regular outside counsel.

Board of Directors or by the committee pursuant to the procedure specified in
Section 5 of this Article V, any indemnification provided for under this Article
V shall include payment by the Corporation of Expenses incurred in defending a
Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking by the Officer or Non-Officer Employee seeking indemnification
to repay such payment if such Officer or Non-Officer Employee shall be
adjudicated or determined not to be entitled to indemnification under this
Article V.

     SECTION 7.  Contractual Nature of Rights.  The foregoing provisions of this
                 ----------------------------
Article V shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each
Officer and Non-Officer Employee who serves in such capacity at any time while
this Article V is in effect, and any

                                       17
<PAGE>

repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then
existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any
action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought based in whole or
in part upon any such state of facts.

     SECTION 8.  Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The right to indemnification and
                 -------------------------
the payment of expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its
final disposition conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any
other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute,
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

     SECTION 9.  Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its
                 ---------
expense, to protect itself and any Officer or Non-Officer Employee against any
liability of any character asserted against or incurred by the Corporation or
any such Officer or Non-Officer Employee, or arising out of any such status,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person
against such liability under the General Corporation Law of Delaware or the
provisions of this Article V.
