                                  STOCKHOLDERS


Section 1. Annual Meeting.

        An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to
succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business
as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, on such
date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall each year fix.

Section 2. Special Meetings.

        Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred
stock of the Corporation, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation
may be called only by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by
a majority of the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if
there were no vacancies on the Board of Directors (hereinafter the "Whole
Board").

Section 3. Notice of Meetings.

        Written notice of the place, date, and time of all meetings of the
stockholders shall be given, not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the
date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at
such meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law (meaning,
here and hereinafter, as required from time to time by the Delaware General
Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation).

        When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, written
notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, date and time
thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken;
provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than 30
days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new
record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place,
date and time of the adjourned meeting shall be given in conformity herewith. At
any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the original meeting.

Section 4. Quorum.

        At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of at least one-third of
all of the shares of the stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in
person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, unless or except
to the extent that the presence of a larger number may be

required by law. Where a separate vote by a class or classes is required, a
majority of the shares of such class or classes, present in person or
represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with
respect to that vote on that matter.

        If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the
meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote who
are present, in person or by proxy, may adjourn the meeting to another place,
date or time.

        If a notice of any adjourned special meeting of stockholders is sent to
all stockholders entitled to vote thereat, stating that it will be held with
those present constituting a quorum, then except as otherwise required by law,
those present at such adjourned meeting shall constitute a quorum, and all
matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast at such meeting.

Section 5. Organization.

        Such person as the Board of Directors may have designated or, in the
absence of such a person, the President of the Corporation or, in his or her
absence, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares
entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall call to order any
meeting of the stockholders and act as chairman of the meeting. In the absence
of the Secretary of the Corporation, the secretary of the meeting shall be such
person as the chairman appoints.

Section 6. Conduct of Business.

           (a) The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the
order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of
the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in
order.

           (b) At any annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business
shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting (i) by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of the
Corporation who is entitled to vote with respect thereto and who complies with
the notice procedures set forth in this Section 6(b). For business to be
properly brought before an annual 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 or mailed to and received
at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days
prior to the 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 20 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such anniversary date,
notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered by the close of
business on the later of (i) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or (ii)
the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure (which may be made by
or through (a) a press release, (b) in a publicly available filing at the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission, (c) a mailed notice or (d) otherwise)
of the date of the annual meeting is first made. A stockholder's notice to the
Secretary shall set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring
before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be
brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business
at the annual


                                       2

meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books,
of the stockholder who proposed such business, (iii) the class and number of
shares of the Corporation's capital stock that are beneficially owned by such
stockholder and (iv) any material interest of such stockholder in such business.
Notwithstanding anything in these By-laws to the contrary, no business shall be
brought before or conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6(b). The officer of the Corporation or other person
presiding over the annual meeting shall, if the facts so warrant, determine and
declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(b) and, if he or she should
so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business so
determined to be not properly brought before the meeting shall not be
transacted.

        At any special meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be
conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction
of the Board of Directors.

        (c) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set
forth in these By-laws shall be eligible for election as directors. Nominations
of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made
at a meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected only (i) by or
at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of the
Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting who
complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 6(c). Such
nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors, shall be made by timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the
Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered or mailed
to and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less
than 90 days prior to the date of the meeting; provided, however, that in the
event that less than 100 days' public disclosure of the date of the meeting is
given to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so
received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the
earlier of (i) the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting is mailed
or (ii) the day on which public disclosure of the date of the meeting is first
made. For the purpose of the prior sentence, the term "public disclosure" shall
include disclosure in (a) a press release, (b) a publicly available filing with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, (c) a mailed notice to
shareholders or (d) otherwise.

        Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (i) as to each person whom
such 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 a director if elected); and (ii) as to
the stockholder giving the notice: (x) the name and address, as they appear on
the Corporation's books, of such stockholder and (y) the class and number of
shares of the Corporation's capital stock that 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
for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6(c). The officer


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

of the Corporation or other person presiding at the meeting shall, if the facts
so warrant, determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with such
provisions and, if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to
the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

Section 7. Proxies and Voting.

        At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder entitled to vote
may vote in person or by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing (or as
otherwise permitted under applicable law) by the stockholder or his duly
authorized attorney-in-fact filed in accordance with the procedure established
for the meeting. Proxies solicited on behalf of the management shall be voted as
directed by the stockholder or in the absence of such direction, as determined
by a majority of the Board of Directors. No proxy shall be valid after eleven
months from the date of its execution except for a proxy coupled with an
interest.

        Each stockholder shall have one vote for every share of stock entitled
to vote which is registered in his or her name on the record date for the
meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or in the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation or as required by law.

        All voting, including on the election of directors but excepting where
otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon
demand therefore by a stockholder entitled to vote or his or her proxy, a stock
vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by ballot, each of which
shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other
information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting.
Every vote taken by ballot shall be counted by an inspector or inspectors
appointed by the chairman of the meeting.

        All elections shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, and
except as otherwise required by law or as provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation, all other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes
cast.

Section 8. Stock List.

        The officer who has charge of the stock transfer books of the
Corporation shall prepare and make, in the time and manner required by
applicable law, a list of stockholders entitled to vote and shall make such list
available for such purposes, at such places, at such times and to such persons
as required by applicable law. The stock transfer books shall be the only
evidence as to the identity of the stockholders entitled to examine the stock
transfer books or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 9. Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting.

        Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred
stock of the Corporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by the
stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or
special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by
any consent in writing by such stockholders.
