         Section 1. Place of Meetings. 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

         Section 2. Annual Meeting of Stockholders. 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

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

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

                                       1

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. Voting. 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. Proxies. 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

Directors as provided in Article V, Section 6 hereof. All elections shall be had
and all questions decided by a plurality vote.

required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the

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. Maintenance and Inspection of Stockholder List. 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

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.

         Section 1. The Number of Directors. The number of directors which shall
constitute the whole Board shall be not less than one (1) and not more than five

Board of Directors at any meeting of stockholders by a majority of the stock
represented and entitled to vote thereat.

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

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. Powers. 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

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.

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

confidentiality restrictions reasonably imposed by the Corporation.

         Section 8. Action Without Meeting, unless otherwise restricted by the

of the Board or committee.

         Section 9. Telephonic Meetings. 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.

         Section 10. Committees of Directors. 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

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

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

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 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. Indemnification. 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,

trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including

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
