                               MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

      2.1 PLACE OF MEETINGS. Annual or special meetings of the stockholders for
the election of directors or for any other purpose shall be held at such time
and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated

      2.4 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS AND NOMINATIONS.

            (a) NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS. Only persons who are nominated in
      accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible to serve as
      directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors
      of the Corporation at a meeting of stockholders may be made (i) by or at
      the direction of the Board of Directors, or (ii) by any stockholder of the
      Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors at the meeting
      who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(a).
      Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the
      Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to
      the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice
      must be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary of the
      Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less
      than ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the
      previous year's annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if
      no annual meeting of stockholders was held in the previous year or if the
      date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty (30) days prior
      to, or delayed by more than sixty (60) days after, such anniversary date,
      notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and
      received, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day
      following the day on which the date of such meeting has been first
      "publicly disclosed" (in the manner provided in the last sentence of this
      Section 2.4(a) by the Corporation). Any stockholder's notice pursuant to
      this Section 2.4(a) shall set forth (i) as to each person whom the
      stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election 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 (including such person's
      written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to
      serving as director if elected); and (ii) as to the stockholder giving
      notice (A) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's
      books, of such stockholder and (B) the class and number of shares of the
      Corporation which are beneficially owned by such stockholder. At the
      request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of
      Directors for election as a director 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 the nominee. No person shall be
      eligible to serve as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in
      accordance with the procedures set forth herein. The Chairman of the
      meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting
      that a nomination was not properly brought before the meeting and in
      accordance with the provisions of these Amended and Restated Bylaws (these
      "Bylaws"), and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so
      declare to the meeting and any such nomination not properly brought before
      the meeting shall be disregarded. For purposes of these Bylaws, "publicly
      disclosed" or "public disclosure" 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.



                                      -2-
<PAGE>

            (b) NOTICE OF BUSINESS. Except as set forth in Section 2.4(a), at
      any meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as
      shall have been brought before the meeting (a) by or at the direction of
      the Board of Directors or (b) by any stockholder of the Corporation who
      shall be entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies with the notice
      procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(b). For business to be properly
      brought before a stockholder meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder
      must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the
      Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to, or
      mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation
      not less than 50 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the
      event that less than 55 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the
      date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the
      stockholder to be timely must be received no later than the close of
      business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of
      the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. A
      stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter
      the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting (a) a brief
      description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and
      the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, (b) the name and
      address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of the stockholder
      proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the
      Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (d) any
      material interest of the stockholder in such business. Notwithstanding
      anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted
      at a stockholder meeting except (i) in accordance with the procedures set
      forth in this Section 2.4(b) or (ii) with respect to nominations of
      persons for election as directors of the Corporation, in accordance with
      the provisions of Section 2.4(a) hereof. The Chairman of the meeting
      shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that
      business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance
      with the provisions of these Bylaws, and if he or she should so determine,
      he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not
      properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4(b), a
      stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
      thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section.

      2.5 REGISTERED HOLDERS OF SHARES; CLOSING OF SHARE TRANSFER RECORDS; AND
RECORD DATE.

            (a) REGISTERED HOLDERS AS OWNERS. Unless otherwise provided under
      Delaware law, the Corporation may regard the person in whose name any
      shares issued by the Corporation are registered in the stock transfer
      records of the Corporation at any particular time (including, without
      limitation, as of a record date fixed pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
      Section 2.5) as the owner of those shares at that time for purposes of
      voting those shares, receiving distributions thereon or notices in respect
      thereof, transferring those shares, exercising rights of dissent with
      respect to those shares, entering into agreements with respect to those
      shares, or giving proxies with respect to those shares; and neither the
      Corporation nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall
      be liable for regarding that person as the owner of those shares at that
      time for those purposes, regardless of whether that person possesses a
      certificate for those shares.



                                      -3-
<PAGE>


            (b) RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining stockholders of the
      Corporation entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
      stockholders of the Corporation or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to
      receive a distribution by the Corporation (other than a distribution
      involving a purchase or redemption by the Corporation of any of its own
      shares) or a share dividend, or in order to make a determination of
      stockholders of the Corporation for any other proper purpose, the Board of
      Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such
      determination of stockholders of the Corporation, such date in any case to
      be not more than 60 days and, in the case of a meeting of stockholders,
      not less than 10 days, prior to the date on which the particular action
      requiring such determination of stockholders of the Corporation is to be
      taken. The Board of Directors shall not close the books of the Corporation
      against transfers of shares during the whole or any part of such period.

If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the
stockholders of the Corporation, the record date for determining stockholders of
the Corporation entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the
close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given,
or, if in accordance with Section 7.2 of these Bylaws notice is waived, at the
close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is
held.

      2.6 QUORUM. Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of
Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the capital stock issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders of the
Corporation for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not
be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation,
the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting, present in
person or represented by proxy, shall have the 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 such adjourned meeting at which a
quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which
might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If the
adjournment is for more than 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 entitled to vote at the meeting.

      2.7 VOTING BY STOCKHOLDERS.

            (a) VOTING ON MATTERS OTHER THAN THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. With
      respect to any matters as to which no other voting requirement is
      specified by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws,
      the affirmative vote required for stockholder action shall be that of a
      majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the
      meeting (as counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum
      at the meeting). In the case of a matter submitted for a vote of the
      stockholders of the Corporation as to which a stockholder approval
      requirement is


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

      applicable under the stockholder approval policy of any stock exchange or
      quotation system on which the capital stock of the Corporation is traded
      or quoted, the requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
      amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any provision of the Internal Revenue
      Code, in each case for which no higher voting requirement is specified by
      the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the vote
      required for approval shall be the requisite vote specified in such
      stockholder approval policy, the Exchange Act or Internal Revenue Code
      provision, as the case may be (or the highest such requirement if more
      than one is applicable). For the approval of the appointment of
      independent public accountants (if submitted for a vote of the
      stockholders of the Corporation), the vote required for approval shall be
      a majority of the votes cast on the matter.

            (b) VOTING IN THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. Unless otherwise provided
      in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws in accordance with the
      DGCL, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the
      holders of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled
      to vote in the election of directors at a meeting of stockholders at which
      a quorum is present.

            (c) OTHER. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the officer
      of the Corporation presiding at a meeting of stockholders of the
      Corporation, in his or her discretion, may require that any votes cast at
      such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

      2.8 PROXIES. Each stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote at a
meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may authorize another person or
persons to act for him or her by proxy. Proxies for use at any meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation shall be filed with the Secretary, or such other
officer as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution,
before or at the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and taken
charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of
the meeting who shall decide all questions relating to the qualification of
voters, the validity of the proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes,
unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of
the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such
questions.

      2.9 NO STOCKHOLDER ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. From and after the first date
as of which the Corporation has a class or series of capital stock registered
under the Exchange Act, no action required to be taken or that may be taken at
any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation may be
taken without a meeting, and the power of the stockholders of the Corporation of
the Corporation to consent in writing to the taking of any action by written
consent without a meeting is specifically denied, except for action by unanimous
written consent, which is expressly allowed.

                                  ARTICLE III

                                    DIRECTORS

      3.1 DUTIES AND POWERS. The business, affairs and property of the
Corporation shall be managed by or under the directorship of the Board of
Directors, which may exercise all


                                      -5-

<PAGE>

such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not
by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws authorized or required
to be exercised or done by the stockholders of the Corporation.

      3.2 NUMBER AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. The number of directors of the
Corporation shall be determined in the manner provided in the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation. Directors shall be elected for one (1) year or
other terms as specified in the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, and
each director elected shall hold office during the term for which he or she is
elected and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, subject,
however, to his or her prior death, resignation, retirement or removal for cause
from office.

      3.3 VACANCIES. Any vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors and newly
created directorships shall be filled in the manner provided in the
Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation.

      3.4 RESIGNATIONS. Any director of the Corporation may resign at any time
upon written notice to the Corporation. To be effective, such notice of
resignation need not be formally accepted by the Board of Directors. A director
of the Corporation need not be a stockholder of the Corporation or a resident of
the State of Delaware.

      3.5 CHAIRMAN. The Board of Directors may elect from among its members a
Chairman (such Chairman may also be the Executive Chairman) who shall preside
over all meetings of the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Corporation.
In his absence or inability to act, the Executive Chairman shall preside over
the meetings of the Board of Directors and the stockholders. The Chairman shall
also perform such other duties and may exercise such other powers as from time
to time may be assigned to him or her by the Board of Directors.

      3.6 MEETINGS. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may hold meetings,
both regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware.
Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such
time and at such place as may from time to time be determined by the Board of
Directors. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the
Chairman, if there be one, or by the President or by any two or more directors
of the Corporation. Notice thereof stating the place, date and hour of the
meeting shall be given to each director either by mail not less than 48 hours
before the date of the meeting, by telephone, telegram or facsimile on 24 hours'
notice or on such shorter notice as the person or persons calling such meeting
may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances. Unless otherwise
required by law, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of,
any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in
the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

      3.7 QUORUM. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law, the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at all meetings of the Board of
Directors, a majority of the entire Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum
for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors
present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board


                                      -6-
<PAGE>

of Directors. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of
Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to
time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum
shall be present.

      3.8 ACTIONS WITHOUT A MEETING. Unless otherwise provided by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted
to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof
may be taken without a meeting, if all the members of the Board of Directors or
committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or
writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or
committee.

      3.9 TELEPHONIC MEETINGS. Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board of Directors, or any
committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of
the Board of Directors or such committee by means of a conference telephone or
similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in
the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this
Section 3.9 shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

      3.10 COMMITTEES. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a
majority of the entire Board of Directors, designate one or more committees,
each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation.
The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors of the Corporation as
alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified
member at any meeting of any such committee. In the absence or disqualification
of a member of a committee, and in the absence of a designation by the Board of
Directors of an alternate member to replace the absent or disqualified member,
the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from
voting, whether or not they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another
member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in place of any absent or
disqualified member. Any committee, to the extent allowed by law and provided in
the resolution establishing such committee, shall have and may exercise all the
powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business
and affairs of the Corporation. Each committee shall keep regular minutes and
report to the Board of Directors when required.

      5.2 SIGNATURES. Where a certificate is countersigned by (i) a transfer
agent other than the Corporation or its employee or (ii) 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 by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she
were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

      5.3 LOST CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate
to be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation
alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the delivery to the
Secretary of the Corporation of an affidavit of the fact by the person claiming
the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such
issue of a new certificate, 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 his or her legal representative, to
advertise the same in such manner as the Board of Directors 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.

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

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 law.

of Directors from time to time, in its absolute discretion, deems proper as a
reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for
repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for any proper
purpose, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

      6.1 GENERAL. The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless an
Indemnitee (as this and all other capitalized words used in this Article VI not
previously defined in these Bylaws are defined in Section 6.9 hereof) from and
against any and all judgments, penalties, fines (including excise taxes),
amounts paid in settlement and, subject to Section 6.2, Expenses (including all
interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in
respect of such judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement or
Expenses) arising out of any event or occurrence related to the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Corporation. The Corporation
may, but shall not be required to, indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnitee
from and against any and all judgments, penalties, fines (including excise
taxes), amounts paid in settlement and, subject to Section 6.2, Expenses
(including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in
connection with or in respect of such judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid
in settlement or Expenses) arising out of any event or occurrence related to the
fact that Indemnitee is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or is or
was serving in another Corporate Status.

      6.2 EXPENSES. If Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her serving as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, a party to and is
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, the Corporation shall
indemnify such person against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
such person or on his or her behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is
not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or
otherwise, as to any Matter in such Proceeding, the Corporation shall indemnify
Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person
or on his or her behalf relating to such Matter. The termination of any Matter
in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to
be a successful result as to such Matter. If Indemnitee is, by reason of any
Corporate Status other than his or her serving as a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation, a party to and is successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in any Proceeding, the Corporation may, but shall not be required to,
indemnify such person against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
such person or on his or her behalf in connection therewith. To the extent that
the Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a witness in any
Proceeding, the Corporation may, but shall not be required to, indemnify such
person against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person or
on his or her behalf in connection therewith.


                                      -12-
<PAGE>

      6.3 ADVANCES. In the event of any threatened or pending Proceeding in
which Indemnitee is a party or is involved and that may give rise to a right of
indemnification under this Article VI, following written request to the
Corporation by Indemnitee, the Corporation may, but shall not be required to,
pay to Indemnitee amounts to cover Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in
such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon the receipt by the
Corporation of (i) a written undertaking executed by or on behalf of Indemnitee
providing that Indemnitee will repay the advance if it shall ultimately be
determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation
as provided in these Bylaws and (ii) satisfactory evidence as to the amount of
such Expenses.

      6.4 REQUEST FOR INDEMNIFICATION. To request indemnification, Indemnitee
shall submit to the Secretary of the Corporation a written claim or request.
Such written claim or request shall contain sufficient information to reasonably
inform the Corporation about the nature and extent of the indemnification or
advance sought by Indemnitee. The Secretary of the Corporation shall promptly
advise the Board of Directors of such request.

      6.5 NONEXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. This Article VI shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled to
under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any
agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors of the
Corporation, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VI
or any provision hereof shall be effective as to any Indemnitee for acts, events
and circumstances that occurred, in whole or in part, before such amendment,
alteration or repeal. The provisions of this Article VI shall continue as to an
Indemnitee whose Corporate Status has ceased for any reason and shall inure to
the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Neither the
provisions of this Article VI nor those of any agreement to which the
Corporation is a party shall be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any
person who is not specified in this Article VI as having the potential to
receive indemnification or is not a party to any such agreement, but whom the
Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the
DGCL.

      6.6 INSURANCE AND SUBROGATION. To the extent the Corporation maintains an
insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors or
officers of the Corporation, an Indemnitee who is a director or officer of the
Corporation shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its
or their terms to the maximum extent of coverage available for any such director
or officer under such policy or policies. In the event of any payment hereunder,
the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all the
rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take
all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such
documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce
such rights. The Corporation shall not be liable under this Article VI to make
any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if, and to the extent
that, Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any
insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

      6.7 SEVERABILITY. If any provision or provisions of this Article VI shall
be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the
validity, legality and


                                      -13-

<PAGE>

enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby; and, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this
Article VI shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by
the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

      6.8 CERTAIN PERSONS NOT ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Article VI, no person shall be entitled to
indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Article VI with respect to
any Proceeding, or any Matter therein, brought or made by such person against
the Corporation.
