     Section  1.     Place  of  Meetings.     Meetings  of  stockholders for all
                     -------------------
purposes  may be held at such time and place, either within or without the State
of  Delaware,  as  shall  be  stated  in  the notice of the meeting or in a duly
executed  waiver  of  notice  thereof.

     Section 2.     Annual Meeting.     An annual meeting of stockholders of the
                    --------------
Corporation  shall  be  held each calendar year on such date and at such time as
shall  be  designated  from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in
the  notice  of  the  meeting  or  in  a  duly executed waiver of notice of such
meeting.  At  such  meeting, the stockholders shall elect directors and transact
such  other  business  as  may  properly  be  brought  before  the  meeting.

                     -----------------

                                        1
<PAGE>
     Section  4.     Notice.     Written  or  printed  notice stating the place,
                     ------
date, and hour of each meeting of the stockholders and, in the case of a special
meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given
not  less  than  ten  (10)  nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the
meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the Chairman of
the  Board,  the  Secretary,  or  the  person(s)  calling  the  meeting, to each
stockholder  of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If such notice is to be
sent  by  mail,  it  shall  be directed to such stockholder at his address as it
appears  on  the records of the Corporation, unless he shall have filed with the
Secretary  of the Corporation a written request that notices to him be mailed to
some  other  address,  in  which  case it shall be directed to him at such other
address. Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall not be required to be given
to any stockholder who shall attend such meeting in person or by proxy and shall
not, at the beginning of such meeting, object to the transaction of any business
because  the  meeting  is  not lawfully called or convened, or who shall, either
before  or  after the meeting, submit a signed waiver of notice, in person or by
proxy.

     Section  5.     Voting List.     At least ten (10) days before each meeting
                     -----------
of  stockholders,  the  Secretary  or  other  officer of the Corporation who has
charge  of  the  Corporation's  stock ledger, either directly or through another
officer  appointed  by him or through a transfer agent appointed by the Board of
Directors, shall prepare a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at
the  meeting,  arranged  in  alphabetical  order and showing the address of each
stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name 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  a  duly  executed  waiver  of  notice of such meeting or, if not so
specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. Such list shall also be
produced  and kept at the time and place of the meeting at all times during such
meeting  and  may  be  inspected  by  any  stockholder  who  is  present.

     Section  6.     Quorum.     The  holders  of  a majority of the outstanding
                     ------
shares  entitled to vote on a matter, present in person or represented by proxy,
shall  constitute  a  quorum at any meeting of stockholders, except as otherwise
provided  by  statute,  the  Certificate  of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If a
quorum  shall  not  be  present at any meeting of stockholders, the stockholders
entitled  to  vote  thereat  who  are  present, in person or by proxy, or, if no
stockholder  entitled  to  vote  is present, any officer of the Corporation, may
adjourn  the  meeting  from time to time until a quorum shall be present. When a
meeting  is  adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the
adjourned  meeting  if  the time and place are announced at the meeting at which
the  adjournment  is  taken. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be
present,  any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the
original meeting had a quorum been present; provided that, 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 adjourned meeting.

     Section  7.     Required  Vote;  Withdrawal Of Quorum.     When a quorum is
                     -------------------------------------
present  at  any  meeting, the vote of the holders of at least a majority of the
outstanding  shares  entitled  to  vote  who are present, in person or by proxy,
shall decide any question brought before the meeting, unless the question is one

                                        2
<PAGE>
on  which,  by express provision of statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or
these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision
shall  govern and control the decision of the question. The stockholders present
at  a  duly  constituted  meeting  may  continue  to  transact  business  until
adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less
than  a  quorum.

     Section  8.     Method  of Voting; Proxies.     (a) Each outstanding share,
                     --------------------------
regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a
vote  at  a meeting of stockholders, except to the extent that the voting rights
of  the  shares  of  any  class  or  classes  are  limited, denied, increased or
decreased  by  the  Certificate  of  Incorporation.

          (b)     Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders
or  to  express  consent  or  dissent  to  corporate action in writing without a
meeting  may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy, but no
such  proxy  shall  be  voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date,
unless  the  proxy  provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be filed with
the  Secretary  of  the  Corporation  prior  to  or  at the time of the meeting.

          (c)     Without  limiting  the  manner  in  which  a  stockholder  may
authorize  another  person  or  persons  to  act  for  him  as proxy pursuant to
subsection  (b) of this section, the following shall constitute a valid means by
which  a  stockholder  may  grant  such  authority:

               (i)     A stockholder may execute a writing  authorizing  another
          person  or  persons  to  act  for  him  as  proxy.  Execution may  be
          accomplished  by  the  stockholder  or  by  an  authorized  officer,
          director, employee or agent of the stockholder  signing  such  writing
          or causing such stockholder's signature to be affixed  to such writing
          by  any  reasonable means including, but not limited to, by  facsimile
          signature.

               (ii)     A  stockholder may authorize another person  or  persons
          to  act  for  him  as  proxy  by  transmitting  or  authorizing  the
          transmission of a telegram, cablegram,  or  other  means of electronic
          transmission to the person who will be the  holder  of the proxy or to
          a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization  or like
          agent duly authorized by the person  who  will  be  the  holder of the
          proxy  to  receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram,
          cablegram  or other means of electronic  transmission must  either set
          forth  or  be  submitted  with  information  from  which  it  can  be
          determined  that  the  telegram,  cablegram  or  other  electronic
          transmission was authorized by the  stockholder. If it  is  determined
          that  such  telegrams,  cablegrams  or other  electronic transmissions
          are  valid, the inspectors or, if there are no  inspectors, such other
          persons making that determination shall specify the  information  upon
          which they  relied.

          (d)     Any  copy,  facsimile  telecommunication  or  other  reliable
reproduction  of  the writing or transmission created pursuant to subsection (c)
of  this  section  may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or
transmission  for  any  and  all  purposes  for  which  the  original writing or

                                        3
<PAGE>
transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication
or  other  reproduction  shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original
writing  or  transmission.

          (e)     A  duly  executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that
it  is  irrevocable  and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest
sufficient  in  law  to  support  an  irrevocable  power.

     Section  9.     Record  Date.     (a)  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, the Board of Directors may fix a record
date,  which  record  date  shall not precede the date upon which the resolution
fixing  the  record  date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record
date  shall  not  be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the
date  of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, 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. 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.

          (b)     In  order  that the Corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled  to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board
of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date
upon  which  the  resolution  fixing  the record date is adopted by the Board of
Directors,  and  which  date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date
upon  which  the  resolution  fixing  the record date is adopted by the Board of
Directors.  If  no  record  date  has  been fixed by the Board of Directors, the
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  statute or these Bylaws, shall be the first date on which a signed
written  consent  setting  forth  the  action  taken  or proposed to be taken is
delivered  to  the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware,
its  principal  place  of  business,  or  an officer or agent of the Corporation
having  custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are
recorded.  Such  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 statute or
these  Bylaws,  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 day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking
such  prior  action.

          (c)     In  order  that the Corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled  to  receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment
of  any rights or the stockholders 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 a record date, which record date
shall  not  precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is
adopted,  and  which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to
such  action.  If  no  record  date  is  fixed,  the record date for determining
stockholders  for  any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day
on  which  the  Board  of  Directors  adopts  the  resolution  relating thereto.

<PAGE>
     Section  10.     Action  Without  Meeting.     (a)  Any  action required or
                      ------------------------
permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation may be
taken  without  a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent
or  consents  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. Such consent
or  consents  shall  be delivered to the Corporation at its registered office in
Delaware,  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.  Such  delivery  shall  be  by  hand or by certified or
registered  mail,  return  receipt  requested.

          (b)     Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each
stockholder  who signs the written consent, and no consent shall be effective to
take  the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of
the  earliest  dated consent delivered in the manner required by this section to
the  Corporation, written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders
to  take  action are delivered to the Corporation in the manner required by this
section.

     Section  11.     Inspectors  of  Elections.  (a)  The Corporation shall, in
                      -------------------------
advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at
the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one
or  more  persons  as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to
act.  If  no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders,
the  person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act
at  the  meeting.  Each  inspector,  before  entering  upon the discharge of his
duties,  shall  take  and  sign  an  oath  faithfully  to  execute the duties of
inspector  with  strict  impartiality  and according to the best of his ability.

          (b)     The  inspectors  shall  (i)  ascertain  the  number  of shares
outstanding  and the voting power of each, (ii) determine the shares represented
at  a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and
ballots,  (iv)  determine  and  retain  for  a reasonable period a record of the
disposition  of  any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and
(v)  certify  their  determination  of  the  number of shares represented at the
meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or
retain  other  persons  or  entities  to assist them in the performance of their
duties.

          (c)     The  date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls
for  each  matter  upon  which  the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be
announced  at  the  meeting.  No  ballot,  proxies or votes, nor any revocations
thereof  or  changes  thereto,  shall  be  accepted  by the inspectors after the
closing of the polls unless the Delaware Court of Chancery upon application by a
stockholder  shall  determine  otherwise.

          (d)     In  determining  the  validity  and  counting  of  proxies and
ballots,  the  inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any

                                        5
<PAGE>
envelopes  submitted  with those proxies, any information provided in accordance
with   212(c)(2)  of  the  General  Corporation Law of Delaware, ballots and the
regular  books  and  records  of the Corporation, except that the inspectors may
consider  other  reliable  information  for  the  limited purpose of reconciling
proxies  and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees
or  similar  persons  which  represent  more votes than the holder of a proxy is
authorized  by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds
of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited
purpose  permitted  herein,  the  inspectors  at  the  time  they  make  their
certification  pursuant  to  subsection (b)(v) of this section shall specify the
precise information considered by them including the person or persons from whom
they  obtained  the information, when the information was obtained, the means by
which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors' belief that
such  information  is  accurate  and  reliable.

                                  ARTICLE III.

                                    DIRECTORS
                                    ---------

     Section  1.     Management.     The business and affairs of the Corporation
                     ----------
shall  be  managed by its Board of Directors who may exercise all such powers of
the  Corporation  and  do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute,
the  Certificate  of  Incorporation  or  these Bylaws directed or required to be
exercised or done by the stockholders. The Board of Directors shall keep regular
minutes  of  its  proceedings.

     Section  2.     Number;  Election.     The Board of Directors shall consist
                     -----------------
of  no  less  than  three  nor  more  than  eleven  directors,  who  need not be
stockholders  or  residents  of  the  State  of Delaware. The directors shall be
elected  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  stockholders,  except as hereinafter
