record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action
in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is
required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written
consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to

its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation
having custody of the book in which proceedings of stockholders meetings are
recorded, to the attention of the secretary of the corporation. Delivery shall
be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no
record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the
board of directors is required by applicable law, the record date for
determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the
board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

office shall constitute less than a majority of the whole board (as constituted
immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery may, upon
application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten percent

such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors
chosen by the directors then in office.

         Section 3. The business of the corporation shall be managed by its
board of directors which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do
all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the certificate of
incorporation or by these by-laws directed or required to be exercised or done

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 1. INDEMNIFICATION IN ACTIONS OTHER THAN IN AN ACTION BY OR IN
THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION. To the full extent permitted by Delaware law from
time to time in effect and subject to the provisions of Section 3 of this
Article, the corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, 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. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which 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
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

         Section 2. INDEMNIFICATION IN ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE
CORPORATION. To the full extent permitted by Delaware law from time to time in
effect and subject to the provisions of Section 3 of this Article, the
corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit 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 a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, 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 and 

                                       11

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 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 the circumstances
of the case such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

         Section 3. DETERMINATION OF CONDUCT. Any indemnification under Sections
1 and 2 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 director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
said Sections 1 and 2. Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority of the
directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though
less than a quorum, or (2) if there are no such directors, or if such directors
so direct, by independent legal counsel (compensated by the corporation) in a
written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

         Section 4. RIGHT TO PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. To the extent that a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
Sections 1 and 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys= fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

         Section 5. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES IN ADVANCE. Expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, or threat
thereof, may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of
such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this Article. Such expenses (including attorneys= fees) incurred
by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if
any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

         Section 6. NON-EXCLUSIVITY. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office. The term corporation as used in this Article shall include the
Michigan predecessor of the corporation.

         Section 7. INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise 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 


                                       12
<PAGE>   13

corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under
the provisions of this Article or of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law.

         Section 8. RIGHTS TO CONTINUE. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article shall, unless
otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has
ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

         Section 9. CONDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION FOR CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, (i) no director,
officer, employee or agent shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
Article in connection with any action, suit or proceeding initiated by such
person unless the board of directors has authorized or consented to the
initiation of such action, suit or proceeding, and (ii) in the event that the
corporation has entered into an indemnification agreement with a director or
officer, approved by the board of directors, and the terms of any provision of
such agreement conflict with any terms set forth in this Article VI, the
provision set forth in such agreement shall govern..


                                   ARTICLE VII

                              CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

         Section 1. Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled
to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by, the
chairman or vice-chairman of the board of directors or the president or a
vice-president and the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or
an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares owned
by him in the corporation.

         Certificates may be issued for partly paid shares and in such case upon
the face or back of the certificates issued to represent any such partly paid
shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor, and the
amount paid thereon shall be specified.

         Section 2. Where a certificate is countersigned (1) by a transfer agent
other than the corporation or its employee, or (2) by a registrar other than the
corporation or its employee, any other signature on the certificate may be
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 by the corporation with the same effect as if he were
such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

                                LOST CERTIFICATES

         Section 3. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or
certificates to be issued 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. When authorizing such
issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require 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
and/or to give the corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the
certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.


                               TRANSFERS OF STOCK

         Section 4. Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of
the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by
proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be

thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.

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. A
determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at the
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.

                             REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS

         Section 6. 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 to hold liable for calls and
assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, 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.
