     SECTION 1. Number of Directors. The number of directors which shall
constitute the whole Board of Directors may be increased or decreased (provided
such decrease does not shorten the term of any incumbent director) from time to

elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

     SECTION 2. Election and Term. Except as provided in Section 3 of this

     SECTION 3. Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Vacancies and newly
created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of
directors may be filled by a majority of the directors, although less than a

giving written notice thereof to the board of directors. Any such resignation
will take effect as of its date unless some other date is specified therein, in

     SECTION 1. Regular Meetings. Upon the adjournment of the annual meeting of
stockholders, the board of directors will meet as soon as practicable to appoint
the members of such committees of the board of directors as the board may deem
necessary or advisable, to elect officers for the ensuing year, and to transact
such other business as may properly come before the board of directors at such
meeting. No notice of such meeting will be necessary to the newly elected
directors in order legally to constitute the meeting provided a quorum will be
present. Regular meetings may be held at such other times as shall be designated
by the board of directors without notice to the directors.

will be held whenever called by the chairman of the board, president, chairman

     SECTION 3. Quorum and Voting. At all meetings of the board of directors
(except in the case of a meeting convened for the purpose specified in Article
III, Section 3 of these bylaws) a majority of the directors will be necessary
and sufficient to 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 will be the act of the board of directors. If a quorum will not be
present at any such meeting 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 will be present.

     SECTION 4. Telephone Meetings. At any meeting of the board of directors, a

be taken by the board of directors may be taken without a meeting if a consent
in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all of the members
of the board.

     SECTION 6. Attendance Fees. Directors will not receive any stated salary,
as such, for their services, but by resolution of the board of directors a fixed
sum and expenses of attendance may be allowed for attendance at each regular or
special meeting of the board; however, this provision will not preclude any
director from serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving
compensation therefor.

                                   ARTICLE V.

     SECTION 4. Meetings. Regular meetings of each committee may be held without
the giving of notice if a day of the week, a time, and a place will have been

committee must be present either in person or by telephone, radio, television,
or similar means of communication, at each meeting of such committee in order to
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The act of a majority of
the members so present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be the act
of such committee. The members of each committee will act only as a committee,
and will have no power or authority, as such, by virtue of their membership on
the committee.

     SECTION 6. Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to
be taken by any committee may be taken without a meeting if a consent in
writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all of the members of

action considered, and the number of votes cast for and against the adoption of
the action considered. All action by each committee will be reported to the

Company's business and affairs since the last meeting of the board.

     SECTION 8. Removal. Any member of any committee may be removed from such
committee, either with or without cause, at any time, by resolution adopted by a

board of directors in the manner prescribed by these bylaws for the original
appointment of the members of such committee.

the best interests of

<PAGE>

the corporation will be served thereby, but such removal will be without
prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Election or

by vote of a majority of the directors for the unexpired portion of the term.

     SECTION 4. Salaries. The salaries of all officers of the corporation will

     SECTION 1. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than
those by or in the Right of the Company. Subject to Section 3 of this Article
VIII, the Company 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 an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another Company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's 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 such person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.

     SECTION 2. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the
Right of the Company. Subject to Section 3 of this Article VIII, the Company
shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or


                                       9

<PAGE>

completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or
officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another Company, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Company; 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 Company 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. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this
Article VIII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Such
determination shall be made with respect to a person who is a director or
officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the
directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though
less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by
majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if
there are no such directors or if such directors so direct, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders. To the extent,
however, that a director or officer of the Company has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described
above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization
in the specific case.

     SECTION 4. Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses incurred by a director or
officer in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or
proceeding may be required by the Board of Directors to be paid (upon such terms
and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate) by the
Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to
repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Article VIII.

     SECTION 5. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
to, this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
any by-law, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent
jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in a person's official capacity and
as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy
of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 1 and 2
of this Article VIII shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The
provisions of this Article VIII shall not be


                                       10

deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in
Section 1 of Section 2 of this Article VIII but whom the Company has the power
or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.

     SECTION 6. Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such
person and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's
status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the
obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions
of this Article VIII.

                                   ARTICLE IX.

     SECTION 1. Contracts, etc. The board of directors or any committee
thereunto duly authorized may authorize any officer or officers, agent or
agents, to enter into any contract or to execute and deliver in the name and on
behalf of the Company any contract or other instruments, except certificates
representing shares of stock of the Company, and such authority may be general
or may be confined to specific instances.

     SECTION 2. Checks, Drafts, etc. All checks, drafts or other orders for the
payment of money, notes, acceptances or other evidence of indebtedness issued by
or in the name of the Company will be signed by such officer or officers, agent
or agents of the Company and in such manner as will be determined from time to
time by resolution of the board of directors. Unless otherwise provided by
resolution of the board, endorsements for deposits to the credit of the Company
in any of its duly authorized depositories may be made by a hand-stamped legend
in the name of the Company or by written endorsement of an officer with
countersignature.

     SECTION 3. Loans. No loans will be contracted on behalf of the Company
unless authorized by the board of directors, but when so authorized, unless a
particular officer or agent is directed to negotiate the same, may be
negotiated, up to the amount so authorized, by the chairman of the board or the
president or a vice-president or the treasurer; and such officers are hereby
severally authorized to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of the
Company, notes or other evidences of indebtedness countersigned by the chairman
of the board or the president or a vice-president for the amount of such loans
and to give security for the payment of any and all loans, advances, and
indebtedness by hypothecating, pledging or transferring any part or all of the
property of the Company, real or personal, at any time owned by the Company.

     SECTION 4. Sale or Transfer of Securities Held by the Company. Stock
certificates, bonds or other securities at any time owned by the Company may be
held on behalf of the Company or sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of
pursuant to authorization by the board of directors, or of any committee
thereunto duly authorized, and, when so authorized to be sold, transferred, or
otherwise disposed of, may be transferred from the name of the Company by the
signature of the chairman of the board or the president or a vice president and
the treasurer or the assistant treasurer or the secretary or the assistant
secretary.

directors, the fiscal year of the Company will be the calendar year.

     SECTION 2. Methods of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given
in writing to any stockholder or director pursuant to any statute, the
Certificate of Incorporation, or these bylaws, it will not be construed to
require personal or actual notice, and such notice will be deemed for all
purposes to have been sufficiently given at the time the same is deposited in
the United States mail with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the
stockholder or director at such address as appears on the books of the Company.
Whenever any notice may be or is required to be given by telegram to any
director, it will be deemed for all purposes to have been sufficiently given at
the time the same is filed with the telegraph or cable office, properly
addressed.

     SECTION 3. Waiver of Notice. The giving of any notice of the time, place,
or purpose of holding any meeting of stockholders or directors and any
requirement as to publication thereof, whether statutory or otherwise, will be
waived by the attendance at such meeting by any person entitled to receive such
notice and may be waived by such person by an instrument in writing executed and
filed with the records of the meeting, either before or after the holding
thereof.
