<U><P ALIGN="CENTER">Meeting of Shareholders</P>
</U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 1.	<U>Place of Meetings</U>.  All meetings of
shareholders shall be held at the principal office of the corporation or at such
other place as may be designated by the board of directors or its executive committee
and stated in the notice of the meeting.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 2.	<U>Annual Meetings</U>.  An annual meeting of the
shareholders of the corporation shall be held on such day and at such hour as shall be
fixed by the board of directors and designated in the notice of the meeting.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 3.	<U>Special Meetings</U>.  Special meetings of the
shareholders may be called for any purpose and at any time by the chairman of the board,
the president or by the board of directors or as provided in the certificate of
incorporation.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 4.	<U>Notice of Meetings</U>.  Written notice of the
time, place and purposes of annual and special meetings of shareholders shall be given
to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting at least ten (10) days and not more
than sixty (60) days before the date of such meeting, either personally or by mail,
charges prepaid, addressed to such shareholder at his address appearing on the books
of the corporation.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 5.	<U>Record Date</U>.  The board of directors shall
fix the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote
at any annual or special meeting of shareholders.  Such record date shall not be more
than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 6.	<U>Nominations of Directors and Proposals of
Business To Be Considered</U>.  (a) Nominations of persons for election to the board
of directors of the corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the
shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders (i) pursuant to the
corporation's notice of such annual meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the board
of directors or (iii) by any shareholder of the corporation who was a shareholder of
record at the time of giving of the notice provided for in this Article II,
Section 6 and who is entitled to vote at the meeting, provided that such
shareholder has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Article II,
Section 6.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">		(b)	For nominations or other business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph
(a) of this Article II, Section 6, the shareholder must have given timely
notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the corporation.  To be timely, a
shareholder's notice shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive

offices of the corporation not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90)
days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided,
however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more
than thirty (30) days or delayed by more than sixty (60) days from such anniversary
date, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than
the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close
of business on the later of the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such annual meeting or
the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of
such meeting is first made.  Such shareholder's notice shall set forth (i) as to each
person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a
director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed
in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in
each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") (including, without limitation, such person's name,
address and principal occupation and such person's written consent to being named
in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (ii)
as to any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting,
a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the
reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any financial or other
interest in such business of such shareholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on
whose behalf the proposal is made; and (iii) as to the shareholder giving the notice
and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made
(1) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the corporation's
books, and of such beneficial owner and (2) the class and number of shares of the
corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such
beneficial owner.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">		(c)	Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of
paragraph (b) of this Article II, Section 6 to the contrary, in the event
that the number of directors to be elected to the board of directors of the
corporation is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the
nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased board of directors
made by the corporation at least seventy (70) days prior to the first anniversary
of the preceding year's annual meeting, a shareholder's notice required by this
Article II, Section 6 shall also be considered timely, but only with
respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be
delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not
later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which
such public announcement is first made by the corporation.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">		(d)	Only such persons who are nominated in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this Article II, Section 6 shall be eligible
to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at an annual meeting
of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Article II, Section 6; provided, however, that
the presiding officer of the meeting may elect, for good cause shown, to waive one or
more of the procedures of this Article II, Section 6.  The presiding officer of the
meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business
proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures
set forth in this Article II, Section 6 and, if any proposed nomination or business
is not in compliance with this Article II, Section 6 and the presiding officer elects
not to waive such non-compliance, to declare that such defective proposed business or
nomination shall be disregarded.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">		(e)	For purposes of this Article II, Section 6,
"public announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow
Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a
document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">		(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Article II, Section 6, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with
respect to the matters set forth in this Article II, Section 6.  Nothing
in this Article II, Section 6 shall be deemed to affect any rights of
shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation's proxy statement
pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 7.	<U>Quorum</U>.  Except as otherwise provided in
the certificate of incorporation, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders
of a majority of any class or series voting separately at a meeting and a majority of
any two or more classes voting together as a class at such meeting shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business; if any matter to come before the meeting
requires a vote of less than all the outstanding classes, then the presence in person
or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the class or classes or series having the
right to vote on such matter or matters shall constitute a quorum for the transaction
of such business.  The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which
a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment notwithstanding the
withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 8.	<U>Adjourned Meetings and Notice Thereof</U>. Any
shareholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be
adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares the holders of
which are either present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting, but in
the absence of a quorum no other business may be transacted at such meeting; provided,
however, that if a quorum of any class or series is present and objects to such
adjournment, the meeting shall not be adjourned.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">		When any shareholders' meeting, either annual or special,
is adjourned for more than thirty days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be
given as in the case of an original meeting.  If any such meeting is adjourned for
thirty days or less, however, and the time and place of the adjourned meeting is
announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and the only business
transacted at the adjourned meeting is such as might have been transacted at the
original meeting, no further notice of the adjourned meeting need be given to
shareholders.  If after the adjournment, the board of directors fixes a new record
date for the adjourned meeting, however, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall
be given to each shareholder of record on the new record date.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 9.	<U>Voting</U>.  Shareholders shall vote their
stock in the manner provided in the certificate of incorporation as amended from
time to time.  Shares held by the corporation shall not be voted at any meeting
of shareholders for any purpose.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 10.	<U>Proxies</U>.  Every shareholder entitled
to vote at a meeting of shareholders may authorize another person or persons to
act for him by proxy.  Every proxy shall be executed in writing by the shareholder
or his agent, except that a proxy may be given by a shareholder or his agent by
telegram or cable or by any means of electronic communication which results in a
writing.  No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution
unless a longer time is expressly provided therein.  Unless it states that it is
irrevocable and is coupled with an interest either in the stock itself or in the
corporation, a proxy shall be revocable at will.  A proxy shall not be revoked by
the death or incapacity of the shareholder but the proxy shall continue to be in
force until revoked by the personal representative or guardian of the shareholder.
The presence at a meeting of any shareholder who has given a proxy does not revoke
the proxy unless the shareholder files written notice of the revocation with the
secretary of the meeting prior to the voting of the proxy or votes the shares
subject to the proxy by written ballot.  A person named in a proxy as the attorney
or agent of a shareholder may, if the proxy so provides, substitute another person
to act in his place, including any other person named as an attorney or agent in
the same proxy.  The substitution shall not be effective until an instrument
effecting it is filed with the secretary of the corporation.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 11.	<U>Officers of Meetings</U>.  The chairman
of the board, if present, shall preside at all meetings of shareholders.  In his
absence, the president, if present, shall preside.  In his absence, the vice
president of the corporation who has held that office for the longest period of
those present at the meeting shall preside.  The secretary of the corporation
shall, if present, act as secretary of all meetings of shareholders.  In his
absence, any assistant secretary of the corporation who is present shall act
as secretary of the meeting.  If no assistant secretary is present, a temporary
secretary for that particular meeting shall be elected.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 12.	<U>Order of Business</U>.  The order of
business at all meetings of the shareholders, unless changed by a majority vote
of the shares entitled to vote at such meeting, shall be as follows:  (i) call
to order; (ii) proof of mailing of notice of meeting, proxy and proxy statement;
(iii) report on presence of a quorum; (iv) reading or waiver of minutes of
preceding meeting; (v) election of directors; (vi) vote on other proposals;
(vii) report of officers; and (viii) other business and adjournment.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 13.	<U>Voting List</U>.  The secretary or
any assistant secretary shall produce at each shareholders' meeting a list of
shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.  Such
list shall (a) be arranged alphabetically within each class and series, with the
address of, and the number of shares held by, each shareholder, (b) be subject
to the inspection of any shareholder for reasonable periods during the meeting,
and (c) be prima facie evidence as to persons who are the shareholders entitled
to examine such list or to vote at the meeting.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 14.	<U>Action by Shareholders Without a
Meeting</U>.  In order that the corporation may determine the shareholders
entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting pursuant
to Section 14A:5-6 of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act, any shareholder
of record seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take corporate action
by written consent shall, by written notice to the secretary, request that the
board of directors set a record date.  Upon receipt of such written notice, or
in the absence of such written notice at any time at its election, the board of
directors may, as it deems appropriate and in the best interests of the
corporation, adopt a resolution setting a record date for purposes of determining
the shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a
meeting.  Any record date set by the board of directors pursuant to this Section
14 shall not precede, and shall not be more than ten (10) days after, the date on
which the resolution setting the record date is adopted by the board of directors.

<P ALIGN="CENTER">ARTICLE III</P>

<U><P ALIGN="CENTER">Board of Directors</P>

</U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 1.	<U>Number of Directors</U>.  The board of
directors of the corporation shall be composed of not less than nine (9) nor more
than fifteen (15) until changed by an amendment of the certificate of incorporation
duly adopted by the shareholders of the corporation.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">		The board of directors, following the adoption of these
amended by-laws, shall consist of eleven (11) members and one Director Emeritus.
The number of directors may be increased or decreased within the foregoing
limitations by an amendment to this Section 1 of Article III duly adopted by the
board of directors.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 2.	<U>Term of Office; Classification of
Directors</U>.  The board shall be divided into three classes, which shall be
denominated Classes I, II and III, respectively.  The number of directors in
each class shall be as nearly equal as possible</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">			At each meeting of shareholders, directors shall
be elected to fill the directorships of the Class of directors whose terms have
expired.  Those directors shall hold office until the third successive annual
meeting of shareholders after their election and until their successors shall
have been elected and qualified, so that directors elected at annual meetings of
shareholders shall each be elected for a three year term, and that the term of
one class of directors shall expire at each annual meeting.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 3.	<U>Resignation and Removal</U>.  Any director
may resign at any time.  Any director may be removed with or without cause as
provided in the certificate of incorporation.  A special meeting for the purpose
of removing a director may be called for by the chairman of the board, the president
or the board of directors.  Notice of such meeting shall be given to all the
shareholders of Class A Common Stock in the manner provided by these by-laws for
any annual or special meeting.  A new director to fill the vacancy caused by
resignation or removal may be elected at the special meeting called for the purpose
of removing such director, at any subsequent annual or special meeting of shareholders,
or by the board of directors.  If such director is elected at a special meeting of
shareholders, he shall serve until the term of the removed director would have
expired and thereafter until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 4.	<U>Vacancies</U>.  If any vacancy should occur
in the board of directors for any reason whatsoever, such vacancy may be filled by
a majority of the remaining directors.  Each director so elected shall hold office
until the next succeeding annual or special meeting of the shareholders and
thereafter until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">		A vacancy or vacancies in the board of directors
shall be deemed to exist in the case of the death, resignation or removal of
any director, or if the authorized number of directors be increased, or if the
shareholders fail at any special meeting of the shareholders at which any director
or directors are elected to elect the authorized number of directors to be voted
for at that meeting.  No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall
have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of his term of
office.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">		Subject to the provisions of the certificate of
incorporation, the shareholders may elect a director or directors at any time to
fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the directors.  If the board of
directors accepts the resignation of a director tendered to take effect at a
future time, the board or the shareholders shall have the power to elect a
successor to take office when the resignation is to become effective.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">		If the chairman of the board, the president or the
board of directors shall so direct, the secretary shall promptly call a special
meeting of shareholders to elect a director to fill such vacancy.  Any director
so elected shall hold office for a term which is not inconsistent with Section
2 of Article III of these by-laws, and thereafter until his successor shall have
been elected and qualified.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">		If a vacancy of all directors shall occur, the president
or secretary shall promptly call a special meeting of the shareholders to elect
directors to fill such vacancies.  The persons so elected shall hold office until
the next annual meeting of shareholders and thereafter until their respective
successors shall have been elected and qualified.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 5.	<U>Place of Meeting</U>.  The board of
directors may hold its meetings at such place or places within or without the
State of New Jersey as the board may from time to time determine.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 6.	<U>Regular Meetings</U>.  Regular meetings
of the board of directors shall be held on such day in March or April, June or
July and September or October as shall be determined from time to time by the
board, at 10:00 a.m. or at such other time designated by the board on such day;
provided, however, that should said day fall upon a legal holiday, then any such
meeting shall be held at the same hour and place on the next succeeding day
which is not a legal holiday.  A fourth regular meeting of the board of directors
shall take place immediately following the conclusion of the annual meeting of
shareholders.  At the regular meeting of the board held immediately following the
annual meeting of shareholders, the board of directors shall organize and elect
officers.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 7.	<U>Special Meetings</U>.  Special meetings
of the board of directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time
by the chairman of the board, the president, or by any three (3) directors.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 8.	<U>Notice of Meetings</U>.  Notice of the
place of each regular meeting of the board, and notice of the time and place of
each  special meeting of the board, shall be given in writing to each director
either by hand delivery, facsimile transmission, mail or national courier service
such as Federal Express, to the address or facsimile number, as the case may be,
of such director as shown upon the records of the corporation.  If such notice is
delivered by hand or by facsimile transmission, it shall be delivered or
transmitted, as the case may be, at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the
time of the holding of the meeting.  If such notice is delivered by mail or
national courier service, it shall be sent either by overnight mail or national

the overnight mail or national courier service at least two days prior to the
time of the holding of the meeting, or by airmail, in which case it shall be
deposited in the United States Mails at least one week prior to the time of the
holding of the meeting.  Such hand delivery, facsimile transmission, mailing or
national courier service delivery, as above provided, shall be due, legal and
personal notice to such director.  </P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 9.	<U>Waiver of Notice and Consent</U>.  The
transactions of any meeting of the board, however called and noticed or wherever
held, shall be as valid as though such meeting had been duly held after a regular
call and notice, if a quorum be present and if, before or after the meeting, each
of the directors not present signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the
holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof.  All such waivers,
consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of
the minutes of the meeting.  </P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 10.	<U>Action without Meeting</U>.  Any action
required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors by law or these
by-laws may be taken without a meeting, if, prior or subsequent to such action,
all members of the board shall individually or collectively consent in writing
to such action.  Each such written consent or consents shall be filed with the
minutes of the proceedings of the board.  Such action by written consent shall
have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of such directors, for all
purposes.  </P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 11.	<U>Quorum</U>.  A majority of the entire
board of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  </P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 12.	<U>Voting</U>.  Every act or decision done
or made by a majority of the directors present at a meeting duly held at which a
quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the board of directors.  In
determining the presence of a quorum and the result of a vote taken by the board,
no distinction shall be made among the directors with respect to the class or
classes or series of shareholders which elected them.  </P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 13.	<U>Presiding Officer</U>.  The chairman of
the board shall preside at all meetings of the board at which he is present.  In
the absence of the chairman of the board, the president shall preside.  If the
secretary of the corporation or any assistant secretary is present, he shall
record the minutes of the meeting, and if neither of them is present the board
shall designate a secretary to record the minutes of the meeting.  </P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 14.	<U>Adjournment</U>.  A quorum of the
directors may adjourn any directors' meeting to meet again at a time and place
fixed in the resolutions adjourning such meeting, and no notice of the time and
place of the adjourned meeting need be given if the period of adjournment does
not exceed ten days in any one adjournment.  A meeting of directors at which less
than a quorum is present may also be adjourned until the next regular meeting of
the board.  </P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 15.	<U>Directors Emeritus</U>.  The title of
director emeritus may be conferred by the board of directors upon any former
director of the corporation or of a corporation acquired by the corporation who,
in the judgment of the board, has brought credit and distinction to this corporation,
or such acquired corporation, through long and faithful service.  The title hereby
created is honorary only and does not carry with it the powers, duties or obligations
of a director of this corporation or any other power, duty or obligation.  The title
may be conferred upon as many persons as the board deems appropriate.  A director
emeritus shall not be deemed a director or member of the board of directors but may
attend meetings of the board and, upon invitation of the chairman, may take part in
the deliberative proceedings of the board, but may not vote.  </P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">	Section 16.	<U>Fees and Compensation</U>.  Directors
shall receive for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the board a
fixed sum and expenses of attendance, if any, and an annual fee for service as a
director, such as may be allowed by resolution of the board.  The board of directors
may, if it so desires, fix one fee for directors who are officers or employees of
the corporation (or who are receiving retirement benefits from it or a subsidiary
or under a pension trust of a subsidiary) and a higher fee for other directors.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving
the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.  </P>
