<PAGE>

        Except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation,
written notice of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten
(10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each
stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the place,
date and hour and purpose or purposes of the meeting. Notice of the time, place
and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, signed by
the person entitled to notice thereof, either before or after such meeting, and
will be waived by any stockholder by his attendance thereat in person or by
proxy, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of
objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business
because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so
waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such
meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given. However, notice
shall not be required to be given to any stockholder to whom (i) notice of two
(2) consecutive annual meetings, and all notices of meetings or of the taking of
action by written consent without a meeting, sent to the stockholder during the
period between the two (2) consecutive annual meetings, or (ii) at least two (2)
payments of dividends or interest on securities, sent by first class mail,
during a twelve (12) month period, have been mailed to such person at his
address as shown on the records of the corporation and have been returned
undeliverable. Any such stockholder shall be bound by the proceedings of any

such stockholder shall deliver to the Secretary a written notice stating his
current address, the applicable notice requirements shall be reinstated as to
that stockholder.

Section 8.  QUORUM.

        At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by
statute, the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in
person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business. Any shares, the voting of which at such meeting has
been enjoined, or which for any reason cannot be lawfully voted at such meeting,
shall not be counted to determine a quorum at such meeting. In the absence of a
quorum any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, by vote
of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other
business shall be transacted at such meeting. Any meeting at which a quorum is
present may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the
withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as
otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, all
action taken by the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at any
meeting at which a quorum is present shall be valid and binding upon the
corporation.

Section 9.  ADJOURNMENT AND NOTICE OF ADJOURNED MEETINGS.

        Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned
from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares, the holders of which
are present either in person or by proxy. When a meeting is adjourned to another
time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and
place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At
the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have
been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than
thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the
adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 10.  VOTING.

        For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at
any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only
persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on
the record date, as provided in Section 12 of these Bylaws, shall be

                                       2
<PAGE>

entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote
or execute consents shall have the right to do so either in person or by an
agent or agents authorized by a written proxy executed by such person or his
duly authorized agent, which proxy shall be filed with the Secretary at or
before the meeting at which it is to be used. An agent so appointed need not be
a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from its date of
creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period. All elections of
Directors shall be by written ballot, unless otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 11.  JOINT OWNERS OF STOCK.

        If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the
names of two (2) or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership,
joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if
two (2) or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same
shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is
furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the
relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall
have the following effect: (i) if only one (1) votes, his act binds all; (ii) if
more than one (1) vote, the act of the majority so voting binds all; or (iii) if
more than one (1) vote, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter,
each faction may vote the securities in question proportionately, or may apply
to the Delaware Court of Chancery for relief as provided in the General
Corporation Law of Delaware, Section 217(b)(3). If the instrument filed with the
Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority
or even-split for the purpose of this subsection (iii) shall be a majority or
even-split in interest.

Section 12.  LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS.

        The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before
every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to
vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address 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 ten (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 specified, at the place where the meeting is
to be held. The list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of meeting
during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is
present.

Section 13.  ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.

        Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any
action required by statute to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the
stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting
of the stockholders, 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 outstanding stock having not less than the
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and
voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by
less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who
have not consented in writing.

so elected shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the
Director whose place shall be vacant and until his successor shall have been
duly elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed

which Directors are to be elected (including any meeting referred to in Section
19 below) to elect the number of Directors then constituting the whole Board.

of the Board of Directors. If no such specification is made, it shall be deemed
effective at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. When one or more Directors
shall resign from the Board, effective at a future date, a majority of the

                                       9
<PAGE>

Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the President or any Vice President and
(i) the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or (ii) the Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary, certifying the number of shares owned by him in the corporation. Any
or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. Where such
certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent other than the corporation or
its employee, or by a registrar other than the corporation or its employee, any
other signature on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer,
transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has
been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer
agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued with the
same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date
of issue. Each certificate shall state upon the face or back thereof, in full or
in summary, all of the designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions on
transfer and relative rights of the shares authorized to be issued.

Section 33.  LOST CERTIFICATES.

        The corporation may issue a new certificate in place of any certificate
or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost,
stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person
claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. The
corporation may require, as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new
certificate or certificates, the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed
certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same
in such manner as it shall require or to give the corporation a surety bond in
such form and amount as it may direct to indemnify it against any claim that may
be made against the corporation (including any expense or liability) with
respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed.

Section 34.  TRANSFERS.

        Stock of the corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed
by law and in these Bylaws or in any agreement with the shareholder making the
transfer. Transfers of stock shall be made on the books only by the person named
in the certificate or by attorney duly authorized, and upon the surrender of a
properly endorsed certificate or certificates, which shall be canceled before a
new certificate shall be issued.

Section 35.  FIXING RECORD DATES.

        In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof,
or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment
of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change,
conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action,
the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be
more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such
meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If no record
date is fixed: (i) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of
business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if
notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on
which the meeting is held; (ii) the record date for determining stockholders
entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting,
when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on
which the first written consent is expressed; and (iii) the record date for
determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business
on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating
thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to
vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;
provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the
adjourned meeting.

Section 36.  REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS.

        The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a
person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and
to vote as such owner, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or
other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other
person whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as
otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

                                 ARTICLE VIII.
                       OTHER SECURITIES OF THE CORPORATION

Section 37.  EXECUTION OF OTHER SECURITIES.

        All bonds, debentures and other corporate securities of the corporation,
other than stock certificates, may be signed by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, the President or any Vice President, or such other person as may be
authorized by the Board of Directors, and the corporate seal impressed thereon
or a facsimile of such seal imprinted thereon and attested by the signature of
the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary; provided, however, that where any such
bond, debenture or other corporate security shall be authenticated by the manual
signature of a trustee under an indenture pursuant to which such bond, debenture
or other corporate security shall be issued, the signatures of the persons
signing and attesting the corporate seal on such bond, debenture or other
corporate security may be the imprinted facsimile of the signatures of such
persons. Interest coupons appertaining to any such bond, debenture or other
corporate security, authenticated by a trustee as aforesaid, shall be signed by
the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary or such other person as may be authorized by the Board of Directors,
or bear imprinted thereon the facsimile signature of such person. In case any
officer who shall have signed or attested any bond, debenture or other corporate
security, or whose facsimile signature shall appear thereon or on any such
interest coupon, shall have ceased to be such officer before the bond, debenture
or other corporate security so signed or attested shall have been delivered,
such bond, debenture or other corporate security nevertheless may be adopted by
the corporation and issued and delivered as though the person who signed the
same or whose facsimile signature shall have been used thereon had not ceased to
be such officer of the corporation.

                                  ARTICLE IX.
                                    DIVIDENDS

paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the
provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

                                  ARTICLE XI.
                          INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS,
                             DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES

Section 40.  ACTION OTHER THAN BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION.

        Subject to Section 42 of this Article XI, the corporation shall
indemnify any Director, to the full extent authorized by Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same is now in effect and attached to
these Bylaws, and shall indemnify all other persons, to the full extent of said
Section 145, as it may be amended from time to time, with respect to any civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative action or proceeding, instituted or
threatened by reason of the fact that such person (hereinafter referred to as
"Agent") (i) is or was a director, officer or employee of the corporation or any
predecessor corporation merged into the corporation; or (ii) is or was serving
at the request of the corporation or any such predecessor corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise. Such Agent shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Section 41.  DERIVATIVE ACTIONS.

        To the full extent authorized by law, the corporation shall indemnify
any person who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed
judicial action or suit brought by or in the right of the corporation to procure
a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was an Agent,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation. However, 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 the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of
Chancery or other such court shall deem proper.

Section 42.  DETERMINATION OF RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION.

        Any indemnification under Sections 40 or 41 (unless ordered by a court)
shall be made by the corporation unless a determination is reasonably and
promptly made (i) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested
directors or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if
a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in
a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders, that such person acted in bad
faith and in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal
proceeding, that such person believed or had reasonable cause to believe that
his conduct was unlawful.

Section 43.  INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST EXPENSES OF SUCCESSFUL PARTY.

        Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article, to the extent that
an Agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including the dismissal
of an action without prejudice or the settlement of an action without admission
of liability, in defense of any proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such Agent shall be indemnified against all expenses incurred in
connection therewith.

                                       12
<PAGE>

Section 44.  ADVANCES OF EXPENSES.

        Except as limited by Section 45 of this Article XI, expenses incurred in
defending or investigating any action, suit, proceeding or investigation shall
be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter,
if the Agent shall undertake to repay such amount in the event that it is
ultimately determined, as provided herein, that such person is not entitled to
indemnification. However, no advance shall be made by the corporation if a
determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board of Directors by (i) a
majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or (ii) if such a quorum
is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors
so directs by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that, based upon
the facts known to the Board or counsel at the time such determination is made,
such person acted in bad faith and in a manner that such person did not believe
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with
respect to any criminal proceeding, that such person believed or had reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any advance be made
in instances where the Board or independent legal counsel reasonably determines
that such person deliberately breached his duty to the corporation or its
stockholders.

Section 45. RIGHT OF AGENT TO INDEMNIFICATION UPON APPLICATION; PROCEDURE UPON
            APPLICATION.

        Any indemnification under Sections 41, 42 or 43 or advance under Section
44 of this Article XI shall be made promptly, and in any event within ninety
days, upon the written request of the Agent, unless with respect to applications
under Sections 41, 42 or 44, a determination is reasonably and promptly made
that such Agent acted in a manner set forth in such Sections as to justify the
corporation's not indemnifying or making an advance to the Agent. Such a
determination shall be made by (i) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of
a quorum of disinterested directors; or (ii) if no quorum of disinterested
directors is obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested
directors so directs by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The
right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article XI shall be
enforceable by the Agent in any court of competent jurisdiction if the Board or
independent legal counsel denies the claim, in whole or in part, or if no
disposition of such claim is made within ninety days. The Agent's expenses
incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to
indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be
indemnified by the corporation.

Section 46.  OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

        The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Agent seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, court order or
otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office, since it is the policy of the
corporation that indemnification of Agents shall be made to the fullest extent
permitted by law. The indemnification provided by this Article shall continue as
to a person who has ceased to be an Agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. In the event of any
changes, after the date of these Bylaws, in any applicable law, statute or rule
which expand the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify an Agent, other
than a Director, such changes shall be, ipso facto, within the provisions of
this Article. In the event of any changes in any applicable law, statute or rule
which narrow the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify an Agent, such
changes, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be
applied to this Article, shall have no effect on this Article or the rights and
obligations of the corporation or its Agents hereunder.

Section 47.  INSURANCE.

                                       13
<PAGE>

        Upon resolution passed by the Board, the corporation may purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an Agent against any
liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or
arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this
Article.

Section 48.  INDEMNITY FUND.

        Upon resolution passed by the Board, the corporation may establish a
trust or other designated account, grant a security interest or use other means
(including, without limitation, a letter of credit), to ensure the payment of
certain of its obligations arising under this Article and/or agreements which
may be entered into between the corporation and its officers and directors from
time to time.

Section 49.  PREDECESSOR CORPORATION.

        For the purposes of this Article, references to "the corporation"
include all predecessor corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger as
well as the resulting or surviving corporation, so that any person who is or was
a director or officer of such a predecessor corporation or is or was serving at
the request of such predecessor corporation as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall stand
in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the
resulting or surviving corporation as he would had he served the resulting or
surviving corporation in the same capacity.

Section 50. OTHER ENTERPRISES, FINES, AND SERVING AT CORPORATION'S REQUEST.

        For purposes of this Article, references to "other enterprise" in
Section 40 and 49 shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines"
shall include any excise taxes assessed against a person with respect to any
employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the
corporation" shall include any service as a director or officer of the
corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or
officer with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants, or
beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this
Article.

Section 51.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OTHER PERSONS.

        The provisions of this Article XI shall not be deemed to preclude the
indemnification of any person who is not an Agent (as defined in Section 40),
but whom the corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the
provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or otherwise.
The corporation may, in its sole discretion, indemnify an employee, trustee or
other agent as permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware. The corporation shall indemnify an employee, trustee or other agent
where required by law.

Section 52.  SAVINGS CLAUSE.

        If this Article or any portion thereof shall be invalidated on any
ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall
nevertheless indemnify each Agent against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in each settlement with respect to any action,
suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative,
and whether internal or external, including a grand jury proceeding and an
action or suit brought by or in the right of the corporation, to the

                                       14
<PAGE>

full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not
have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.

Section 53.  NOTICES.

        (a) NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS. Whenever, under any provisions of these
Bylaws, notice is required to be given to any stockholder, it shall be given in
writing, timely and duly deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
and addressed to his last known post office address as shown by the stock record
of the corporation or its transfer agent.

        (b) NOTICE TO DIRECTORS. Any notice required to be given to any Director

address as such Director shall have filed in writing with the Secretary, or, in
the absence of such filing to the last known post office address of such
Director.

        (c) ADDRESS UNKNOWN. If no address of a stockholder or Director be
known, notice may be sent to such place as the Board of Directors shall
determine.

        (d) AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING. An affidavit of mailing, executed by the
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the corporation or its transfer agent
appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, specifying the name and
address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, or
Director or Directors, to whom any notice or notices was or were given, and the
time and method of giving the same, shall be conclusive evidence of the
statements therein contained.

        (e) TIME NOTICES DEEMED GIVEN. All notices given by mail, as above
provided, shall be deemed to have been given as at the time of mailing and all
notices given by telegram shall be deemed to have been given as at the sending
time recorded by the telegraph company transmitting the notices.

        (f) METHODS OF NOTICE. It shall not be necessary that the same method of
giving notice be employed in respect of all Directors, but one permissible
method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible
method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others.

Incorporation, to repeal, alter or amend these Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws,
subject to the power of the stockholders to change or repeal such Bylaws.
