SECTION 1.02. Other Offices.  The Corporation may also have offices at such other places within or without the state of incorporation of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation requires.  ARTICLE II SHAREHOLDERS  SECTION 2.01. Place of Shareholder Meetings.   All meetings of the share­holders of the Corporation shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors and specified in the notice of meeting, in which event the meeting shall be held at the place within or without the state of incorporation as shall be designated in the notice of such meeting.  SECTION 2.02. Annual Shareholders=Meeting.  The Board of Directors may fix the date and time of the annual meeting of the shareholders, but if no such date and time is fixed by the Board, the annual meeting shall be held on a third Tuesday in May, if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday, then on the next succeeding business day, at 10:00 a.m. local time.  Failure to hold an annual meeting shall not invalidate, alter or otherwise affect the validity of subsequent actions.  At the annual meeting, the shareholders then entitled to vote shall elect Directors and shall transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.  SECTION 2.03. Special Shareholder Meetings.    Special meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation as a whole, and meetings of a particular class or series of shareholders of the Corporation may be called for any purpose or purposes for which meetings may lawfully be called at any time by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or by a majority of the Board of Directors, and shall be called after the Corporation's receipt of the request in writing from shareholders owning of record one-fourth of the amount of each class or series of stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.  Every request for a special meeting shall state the specific purposes of the meeting.  The date of the meeting shall be held at such date and time as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall fix, not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days after the receipt of the request, and the Secretary shall give due notice thereof.  If the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall neglect or refuse to fix the time and date of such meeting or shall fail to cause the Secretary to give notice thereof, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so.  SECTION 2.04. Notice of Shareholder Meetings.  Written notice of the place, date and hour of every meeting of the shareholders, whether annual or special, shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting.  Every notice of a special meeting shall state the purposes thereof.  SECTION 2.05. Quorum and Adjourned Shareholder Meetings.  The record holders in the aggregate of a majority of stock issued and outstanding (excluding treasury stock) and entitled to vote at a shareholders meeting and who are present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by law, by the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws.  If the matter presented for action at any meeting of shareholders is one which requires voting by class or series of stock, then holders of a majority of each class or series effected who are present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for such class or series.  If a quorum of one or more classes or series of stock is present, in person or by proxy, shareholders holding that class or series of stock may act for that class or series, even if a quorum is not present for other classes or series.  If such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the shareholders entitled to vote thereat who are present in person or represented by proxy shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting until a quorum shall be present or represented.  At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present in person or by proxy, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.  When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the record owners holding a majority of the stock having voting power, present in person or represented by proxy, shall decide all questions brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by expressed provision of applicable law, the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such expressed provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.  The affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of a class or series of stock, voting as a class, shall constitute action by that class or series, unless applicable law, the Corporation=s Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws expressly provides a different vote, in which case such expressed provision shall control.  Once a meeting is duly organized and a quorum is present, the shareholders who are present in person or represented by proxy may continue to conduct business until adjournment, even after withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum present.  SECTION 2.06. Conduct of Shareholder Meetings.  All annual and special meetings of shareholders shall be conducted in accordance with such rules and procedures as the Board of Directors may determine, subject to the requirements of applicable law, and as to matters not governed by such rules and procedures, the chairman of the meeting shall determine in good faith the procedures to be followed.  The chairman of any annual or special meeting of shareholders shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, unless the Board of Directors or shareholders entitled to vote thereat select a different person to be chairman of the meeting.  The Secretary or other person designated by the chairman of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting.  SECTION 2.07. Voting at by Shareholders.  Unless the Certificate of Incorporation provides otherwise, each shareholder of record shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of stock having voting power and held of record by such shareholder.  No cumulative voting for the election of Directors shall be permitted unless expressly permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation.  No proxy shall be voted more than three years after its date, unless the proxy specifically provides for a longer period and the law permits.  SECTION 2.08. Consent of Shareholders in Lieu of a Meeting.  Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of shareholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by the holders of record of stock (by class or series of stock where voting by class or series of stock is required) having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the taking of such action.  Prompt notice of the taking of action by the shareholders without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those shareholders entitled to vote on the action who did not consent in writing to such action.

The list shall be arranged in alphabetical order showing the address of each shareholder, the number of shares registered in the name of each shareholder and the class or series of stock held.  Such list shall be open to the examination of any shareholder of record for any lawful purpose during ordinary business hours for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting either at the principal executive office of the Corporation or at the place where the meeting is to be held.

ARTICLE VII INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHER AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES  SECTION 7.01. Indemnification of Authorized Representatives in Third Party Proceedings.  To the maximum extent not prohibited by law, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is an authorized representative of the Corporation (which shall mean for purposes of this Article a Director or officer of the Corporation or another person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other business enterprise) and who was or is a party (which shall include for purposes of this Article the giving of testimony or similar involvement) or is threatened to be made a party to any third party proceeding (which shall mean for purposes of this Article, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitration, administrative or investigative other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person was or is an authorized representative of the Corporation, against expenses (which shall include for purposes of this Article attorneys' fees and expenses), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such third party proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal third party proceeding (which could or does lead to a criminal third party proceeding) had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any third party proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, indictment, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that the authorized representative did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal third party proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.  SECTION 7.02. Indemnification of Authorized Representatives in Corporate Proceedings.  The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is an authorized representative of the Corporation and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any corporate proceeding (which shall mean for purposes of this Article any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or investigative proceeding by the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person was or is an authorized representative of the Corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such corporate action, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such authorized representative is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified to the extent such court shall order.  SECTION 7.03. Mandatory Indemnification of Authorized Rep­re­sen­tatives.  To the extent that an authorized representative of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any third party proceeding or corporate proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.  SECTION 7.04. Entitlement to Indemnifica­tion.   Any indemnification under Section 7.01, 7.02 or 7.03 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the authorized representa­tive is proper in the circumstances, because such person has either met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 7.01 or 7.02 or has been successful on the merits or otherwise as set forth in Section 7.03 and that the amount requested has been actually and reasonably incurred.  Such determination shall be made:  (1) By the Board of Directors by a majority of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such third party or corporate proceeding; or  (2) If such a quorum of the Board of Directors is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a majority vote of such a quorum so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or  (3) By the shareholders voting in the aggregate and not by class or series.  SECTION 7.05. Advancing Expenses.  Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending a third party or corporate proceeding shall be paid on behalf of an authorized representative by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such third party or corporate proceeding as authorized in the manner provided in Section 7.04 of this Article upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the authorized representative to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that such person is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article.  The financial ability of such authorized representative to make such repayment shall not be a prerequisite to the making of an advance.  SECTION 7.06. Employee Benefit Plans.  For purposes of this Article, the Corporation shall be deemed to have requested an authorized representative to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of duties to the Corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an authorized representative with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be deemed fines; and action taken or omitted by such person with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of duties for a purpose reasonably believed to be in the interest of the partici­pants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.  SECTION 7.07. Scope.  The indemnification of and advance­ment of expenses to authorized representatives, as authorized by this Article, shall (1) not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity, (2) continue as to a person who has ceased to be an authorized representative, and (3) inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.  SECTION 7.08. Reliance. Each person who shall act as an authorized representative of the Corporation shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance upon rights of indemnification provided by this Article.  SECTION 7.09. Insurance.  The Corporation may but shall not be obligated to purchase and maintain insurance at its expense on behalf of any person who is or was an authorized representative against any liability asserted against such person in such capacity or arising out of such person=s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability.
