                                    OFFICES

     Section 1. The registered office shall be in the City of Dover, County of
New Castle, State of Delaware.

     Section 2. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both
within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from
time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

                                   ARTICLE II

                            MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

     Section 1. Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place within or
outside the State of Delaware designated by the Board of Directors. In the
absence of any such designation, stockholders' meetings shall be held at the
principal executive office of the Corporation.

     Section 2. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year on a
date and a time designated by the Board of Directors. At each annual meeting
directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be transacted.

     Section 3. A majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote at any meeting of stockholders, the holders of which are present in person
or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business except as otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of
Incorporation, or by these By-Laws. A quorum, once established, shall not be
broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum and the
votes present may continue to transact business until adjournment. If, however,
such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the
stockholders, a majority of the voting stock represented in person or by proxy
may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without


                                       1
<PAGE>   5
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 notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty
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 thereat.

     Section 4. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the
holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or
represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting,
unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes, or
the Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-Laws, a different vote is
required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the
decision of such question.

     Section 5. At each meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder having
the right to vote may vote in person or may authorize another person or persons
to act for him by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by
such stockholder and bearing a date not more than three years prior to said
meeting, unless said instrument provides for a longer period. All proxies must
be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation at the beginning of each meeting
in order to be counted in any vote at the meeting. Each stockholder shall have
one vote for each share of stock having voting power, registered in his name on
the books of the Corporation on the record date set by the Board of Directors
as provided in Article V, Section 6 hereof. All elections shall be had and all
questions decided by a plurality vote.

     Section 6. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose, or
purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of
Incorporation, may be called by the President and shall be called by the
President or the Secretary at the request in writing of


                                       2
<PAGE>   6
a majority of the Board of Directors, or at the request in writing of
stockholders owning a majority in amount of the entire capital stock of the
Corporation, issued and outstanding, and entitled to vote. Such request shall
state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at
any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in
the notice.

     Section 7. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any
action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which
notice shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of
a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. The
written notice of any meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to
vote at such meeting not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date
of the meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States
mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears
on the records of the Corporation.

     Section 8. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the
Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of
stockholders, 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 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, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting
is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place
of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any
stockholder who is present.


                                       3

     Section 9. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation,
any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual
or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting,
without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent 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. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action
without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to
those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

                                 ARTICLE III

                                  DIRECTORS

     Section 1. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board
shall be not less than one (1) and not more than five (5). The exact number of
directors shall be determined by resolution of the Board, and the initial
number of directors shall be one (1). The directors need not be stockholders.
The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders,
except as provided in Section 2 of this Article, and each director elected
shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified; provided,
however, that unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation
or by law, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, either
with or without cause, from the Board of Directors at any meeting of
stockholders by a majority of the stock represented and entitled to vote
thereat.

     Section 2. Vacancies on the Board of Directors by reason of death,
resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office, or otherwise,
and newly created directorships


                                       4
<PAGE>   8
resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled
by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or
by a sole remaining director. The directors so chosen shall hold office until
the next annual election of directors and until their successors are duly
elected and shall qualify, unless sooner replaced by a vote of the
shareholders. If there are no directors in office, then an election of
directors may be held in the manner provided by statute. If, at the time of
filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in
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 of
the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote
for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such
vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by
the directors then in office.

     Section 3. The property and business of the Corporation shall be managed
by or under the direction of its Board of Directors. In addition to the powers
and authorities by these By-Laws expressly conferred upon them, the Board 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 by the stockholders.

     Section 4. The directors may hold their meetings and have one or more
offices, and keep the books of the Corporation outside of the State of
Delaware.

     Section 5. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without
notice at such time and place as shall from time to time be determined by the
Board.

     Section 6. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the
President on forty-eight hours' notice to each director, either personally or
by mail or by


                                       5
<PAGE>   9
telegram; special meetings shall be called by the President or the Secretary in
like manner and on like notice on the written request of two directors.

     Section 7. At all meetings of the Board of Directors a majority of the
authorized number of directors shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute
a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the
directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum, shall be the act
of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by
statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws. 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. If only one
director is authorized, such sole director shall constitute a quorum. At any
meeting, a director shall have the right to be accompanied by counsel provided
that such counsel shall agree to any confidentiality restrictions reasonably
imposed by the Corporation.

     Section 8. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation
or these By-Laws, 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 members of the Board 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 or committee.

     Section 9. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation
or these By-Laws, 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 any committee, by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the
meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.


                                       6
<PAGE>   10
     Section 10. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority
of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each such committee to
consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board may
designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may
replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In
the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or
members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting,
whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another
member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such
absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in
the resolution of the Board of Directors, 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, and may authorize the seal of the
Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such
committee shall have the power or authority in reference to amending the
Certificate of Incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation,
recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the
stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution,
or amending the By-Laws of the Corporation; and, unless the resolution or the
Certificate of Incorporation expressly so provide, no such committee shall have
the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of
stock.

     Section 11. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and
report the same to the Board of Directors when required.

     Section 12. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of
Incorporation or these By-Laws, the Board of Directors shall have the authority
to fix the compensation of directors. The directors may be paid their expenses,
if any, of attendance at each meeting of


                                       7
<PAGE>   11
the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each
meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director. No such
payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other
capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing
committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

     Section 13. The Corporation shall indemnify every person who is or was a
party or is or was threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or,
while a director or officer or employee of the Corporation, is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or
trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including counsel fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the full
extent permitted by applicable law.

                                   ARTICLE IV

an Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation, certifying the number of shares
represented by the certificate owned by such stockholder in the Corporation.

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.

     Section 3. If the Corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one
class of stock or more than one series of any class, the powers, designations,
preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of

summarized on the face or back of the certificate which the Corporation shall
issue to represent such class or series of stock, provided that, except as
otherwise provided in Section 202 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware,
in lieu of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face or
back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent such
class or series of stock, a statement that the

<PAGE>   16
Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the
powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or
other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

     Section 4. 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.

     Section 5. Upon surrender to the Corporation, or the transfer agent of the
Corporation, of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper

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

shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such
meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to another action. 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.

     Section 7. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record
of any share or shares of stock as the holder in fact thereof and accordingly
shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim or interest in
such share on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have
express or other notice thereof, save as expressly provided by the laws of the
State of Delaware.

reserve fund to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for

impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.

     Section 6. Whenever, under the provisions of the statutes or of the
Certificate of Incorporation or of these By-Laws, notice is required to be
given to any director or stockholder, it shall not be construed to mean
personal notice, but such notice may be given in writing, by mail, addressed to

the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice shall be deemed
to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United States

and at any special meeting of the stockholders when called for by vote of the
stockholders, a full and clear statement of the business and condition of the
Corporation.
