                 (AS AMENDED AND RESTATED THROUGH MARCH 8, 2000)


                                   ARTICLE I.

                                  STOCKHOLDERS

SECTION 1.01. ANNUAL MEETING. The Corporation shall hold an annual meeting of
its stockholders to elect directors and transact any other business within its
powers, either at 10:00 a.m. on the last Thursday of May in each year if not a
legal holiday, or at such other time on such other day falling on or before the
30th day thereafter as shall be set by the Board of Directors. Except as the
Charter or statute provides otherwise, any business may be considered at an
annual meeting without the purpose of the meeting having been specified in the
notice. Failure to hold an annual meeting does not invalidate the Corporation's
existence or affect any otherwise valid corporate acts.

SECTION 1.02. SPECIAL MEETING. At any time in the interval between annual
meetings, a special meeting of the stockholders may be called by the Chairman of
the Board or the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors by vote at
a meeting or in writing (addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation) with or
without a meeting. Subject to the procedures set forth in Section 1.11 and this
Section, special meetings of the stockholders shall be called by the Secretary
at the request of stockholders only on the written request of stockholders
entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the
meeting. A request for a special meeting shall state the purpose of the meeting
and the matters proposed to be acted on at it. The Secretary shall inform the
stockholders who make the request of the reasonably estimated costs of preparing
and mailing a notice of the meeting and, on payment of these costs to the
Corporation, notify each stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting. The
Board of Directors shall have sole power to fix the date and time of the special
meeting.

SECTION 1.03. PLACE OF MEETINGS. Unless the Charter provides otherwise, meetings
of stockholders shall be held at such place as is set from time to time by the
Board of Directors.

SECTION 1.04. NOTICE OF MEETINGS; WAIVER OF NOTICE. Not less than ten nor more
than 90 days before each stockholders' meeting, the Secretary shall give written
notice of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting and
each other stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting. The notice shall state
the time and place of the meeting and, if the meeting is a special meeting or
notice of the purpose is required by statute, the purpose of the meeting. Notice
is given to a stockholder when it is personally delivered to him or her, left at
his or her residence or usual place of business, or mailed to him or her at his
or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation or transmitted to
the stockholder by electronic mail to any electronic mail address of the
stockholder or by any other electronic means. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions, each person who is entitled to notice waives notice if he or she
before or after the meeting signs a waiver of the notice which is filed with the
records of stockholders' meetings, or is present at the meeting in person or by
proxy.

SECTION 1.05. QUORUM; VOTING. Unless any statute or the Charter provides
otherwise, at a meeting of stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of
stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at
the meeting constitutes a quorum, and a majority of all the votes cast at a
meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to approve any matter which
properly comes before the meeting, except that a plurality of all the votes cast
at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to elect a director.

SECTION 1.06. ADJOURNMENTS. Whether or not a quorum is present, a meeting of
stockholders convened on the date for which it was called may be adjourned from
time to time without further notice by a majority vote of the stockholders
present in person or by proxy to a date not more than 120 days after the
original record date. Any business which might have been transacted at the
meeting as originally notified may be deferred and transacted at any such
adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present.

SECTION 1.07. GENERAL RIGHT TO VOTE; PROXIES. Unless the Charter provides for a
greater or lesser number of votes per share or limits or denies voting rights,
each outstanding share of stock, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote on
each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders; however, a share
is not entitled to be voted if any installment payable on it is overdue and
unpaid. In all elections for directors, each share of stock may be voted for as
many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the
share is entitled to be voted. A stockholder may vote the stock the stockholder
owns of record either in person or by proxy. A stockholder may sign a writing
authorizing another person to act as proxy. Signing may be accomplished by the
stockholder or the stockholder's authorized agent signing the writing or causing
the stockholder's signature to be affixed to the writing by any reasonable
means, including facsimile signature. A stockholder may authorize another person
to act as proxy by transmitting, or authorizing the transmission of, an
authorization by a telegram, cablegram, datagram, electronic mail or any other
electronic or telephonic means to the person authorized to act as proxy or to
any other person authorized to receive the proxy authorization on behalf of the
person authorized to act as the proxy, including a proxy solicitation firm or
proxy support service organization. Unless a proxy provides otherwise, it is not
valid more than 11 months after its date. A proxy is revocable by a stockholder
at any time without condition or qualification unless the proxy states that it
is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest. A proxy may be made
irrevocable for so long as it is coupled with an interest. The interest with
which a proxy may be coupled includes an interest in the stock to be voted under
the proxy or another general interest in the Corporation or its assets or
liabilities.

SECTION 1.08. LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS. At each meeting of stockholders, a full,
true and complete list of all stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting,
showing the number and class of shares held by each and certified by the
transfer agent for such class or by the Secretary, shall be furnished by the
Secretary.

SECTION 1.09. CONDUCT OF BUSINESS. Nominations of persons for election to the
Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be considered by the
stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to
the Corporation's notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation (i) who was a stockholder
of record at the time of giving notice(s) provided for in Section 1.11 and
Section 1.12, (ii) who is entitled to vote at the meeting and (iii) who complied
with the notice(s) procedures set forth in Section 1.11 and Section 1.12.
Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal
of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at a special
meeting of stockholders (a) only pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting
and (b), in the case of nominations of persons for election to the Board of
Directors, (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any
stockholder of the Corporation (A) who was a stockholder of record at the time
of giving notice provided for in Section 1.11, (B) who is entitled to vote at
the meeting and (C) who complied with the notice procedures set forth in Section
1.11. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine
whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting
was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.11, Section
1.12 and this Section and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in
compliance with Section 1.11, Section 1.12 and this Section, to declare that
such defective nomination or proposal be disregarded.

SECTION 1.10. CONDUCT OF VOTING. At all meetings of stockholders, unless the
voting is conducted by inspectors, the proxies and ballots shall be received,
and all questions touching the qualification of voters and the validity of
proxies, the acceptance or rejection of votes and procedures for the conduct of
business not otherwise specified by these Bylaws, the Charter or law, shall be
decided or determined by the chairman of the meeting. If demanded by
stockholders, present in person or by proxy, entitled to cast 10% in number of
votes entitled to be cast, or if ordered by the chairman of the meeting, the
vote upon any election or question shall be taken by ballot. Before any meeting
of the stockholders, the Board of Directors may appoint persons to act as
inspectors of election at the meeting and any adjournment thereof. If no
inspectors of election are so appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and on
the request of stockholders, present in person or by proxy, entitled to cast 10%
in number of votes entitled to be cast, shall, appoint inspectors of election at
the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. If
inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of stockholders, the
holders of a majority of shares present in person or by proxy shall determine
whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed. No candidate for election
as a director at a meeting shall serve as an inspector thereat. If any person
appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the chairman
of the meeting may, and upon the request of any stockholder shall, appoint a
person to fill that vacancy. The inspectors shall determine the number of shares
outstanding and the voting power of each,


<PAGE>   3
the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the
authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; receive votes, ballots or
consents; hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in
connection with the right to vote; count and tabulate all votes or consents;
determine when polls shall close; determine the result; and do any other acts
that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all
stockholders. Unless so demanded or ordered, no vote need be by ballot and
voting need not be conducted by inspectors.

SECTION 1.11. ADVANCE NOTICE PROVISIONS FOR ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. Only persons
who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible
for election as directors of the Corporation. Nominations of persons for
election to the Board of Directors may be made at any annual meeting of
stockholders, or at any special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose
of electing directors, (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or
any duly authorized committee thereof) or (b) by any stockholder of the
Corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the
notice provided for in this Section and on the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and (ii) who complies with the
notice procedures set forth in this Section. A stockholder's notice must be
delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation (a) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than
60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first 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 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days
from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not
earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the
close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting or
the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such
meeting is first made; and (b) in the case of a special meeting of stockholders
called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of
business on the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the
special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the special
meeting was made, whichever first occurs. A stockholder's notice to the
Secretary must be in writing and set forth (a) as to each person whom the
stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director, all information
relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in connection with
solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A of
the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (b)
as to the stockholder giving the notice (i) the name and address of such
stockholder as they appear on the Corporation's books and of the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, (ii) the class or series
and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned
beneficially or of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, (iii) a
description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and
each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names)
pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder, (iv) a
representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at
the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice and (v) any other
information relating to such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed
in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with
solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such
notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to be
named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. No person shall be
eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section. If the chairman of the
meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the
foregoing procedures, the chairman of the meeting shall declare to the meeting
that the nomination was defective and such defective nomination shall be
disregarded. No adjournment or postponement of a meeting of stockholders shall
commence a new period for the giving of notice of a stockholder proposal
hereunder.

SECTION 1.12. ADVANCE NOTICE PROVISIONS FOR BUSINESS TO BE TRANSACTED AT ANNUAL
MEETING. No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders,
other than business that is either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or
any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors
(or any duly authorized committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought
before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or
any duly authorized committee thereof) or (c) otherwise properly brought before
the annual meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation (i) who is stockholder
of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section
and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at
such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth
in this Section. A stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and
received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first 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 30 days or delayed by
more


<PAGE>   4
than 60 days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so
delivered not earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and not
later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such
annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement
of the date of such meeting is first made. A stockholder's notice to the
Secretary must in writing and 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 meeting, (ii) the name and address of
such stockholder as they appear on the Corporation's books and of the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (iii) the class or series
and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned
beneficially or of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, (iv) a
description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and
any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the
proposal of such business by such stockholder and any material interest of such
stockholder in such business and (v) a representation that such stockholder
intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such
business before the meeting. No business shall be conducted at the annual
meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.11 or in this Section,
provided, however, that once business has been properly brought before the
annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in Section 1.11 nor
in this Section shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any
such business. If the chairman of an annual meeting determines that business was
not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing
procedures, the chairman of the meeting shall declare to the meeting that the
business was not properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not
be transacted. No adjournment or postponement of a meeting of stockholders shall
commence a new period for the giving of notice of a stockholder proposal
hereunder.

SECTION 1.13. INFORMAL ACTION BY STOCKHOLDERS. Any action required or permitted
to be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting if there
is filed with the records of stockholders meetings an unanimous written consent
which sets forth the action and is signed by each stockholder entitled to vote
on the matter and a written waiver of any right to dissent signed by each
stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting but not entitled to vote at it.

SECTION 1.14. MEETING BY CONFERENCE TELEPHONE. Stockholders may participate in a
meeting by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment
if all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same
time. Participation in a meeting by these means constitutes presence in person
at a meeting.

                                   ARTICLE II.

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 2.01. FUNCTION OF DIRECTORS. The business and affairs of the Corporation
shall be managed under the direction of its Board of Directors. All powers of
the Corporation may be exercised by or under authority of the Board of
Directors, except as conferred on or reserved to the stockholders by statute or
by the Charter or Bylaws.

SECTION 2.02. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. The Corporation shall have at least three
directors; provided that, if there is no stock outstanding, the number of
directors may be less than three but not less than one, and, if there is stock
outstanding and so long as there are less than three stockholders, the number of
directors may be less than three but not less than the number of stockholders.
The Corporation shall have the number of directors provided in the Charter until
changed as herein provided. Two-thirds of the entire Board of Directors may
alter the number of directors set by the Charter to not exceeding 25 nor less
than the minimum number then permitted herein, but the action may not affect the
tenure of office of any director.

SECTION 2.03. ELECTION AND TENURE OF DIRECTORS. The directors shall be divided
into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible. At each successive
annual meeting of stockholders, the holders of stock present in person or by
proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat shall elect members of each
successive class to serve for three year terms and until their successors are
elected and qualify. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or
decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of
directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director
of any class shall, subject to Section 2.05, hold office for a term that shall
coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decrease
in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.

SECTION 2.04. REMOVAL OF DIRECTOR. Any director or the entire Board of Directors
may be removed only in accordance with the provisions of the Charter. For
purposes of the foregoing, "cause," shall mean only (i) conviction of a felony,
(ii) declaration of unsound mind by order of a court, (iii) gross dereliction of
duty, (iv) conviction of any act involving moral turpitude or (v) commission of
an act that constitutes intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law if
such action in either event results both in an improper substantial personal
benefit to the director and in a material injury to the Corporation.

SECTION 2.05. VACANCY ON BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Subject to the rights of the
holders of any class or series of stock separately entitled to elect one or more
directors, the stockholders may elect a successor to fill a vacancy on the Board
of Directors which results from the removal of a director. A director elected by
the stockholders to fill a vacancy which results from the removal of a director
serves for the balance of the term of the removed director. Subject to the
rights of the holders of any class of stock separately entitled to elect one or
more directors, a majority of the remaining directors, whether or not sufficient
to constitute a quorum, may fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors which
results from any cause except an increase in the number of directors, and a
majority of the entire Board of Directors may fill a vacancy which results from
an increase in the number of directors. A director elected by the Board of
Directors to fill a vacancy serves until the next annual meeting of stockholders
and until his or her successor is elected and qualifies.

SECTION 2.06. REGULAR MEETINGS. After each meeting of stockholders at which
directors shall have been elected, the Board of Directors shall meet as soon
thereafter as practicable for the purpose of organization and the transaction of
other business. In the event that no other time and place are specified by
resolution of the Board of Directors or announced by the President or the
Chairman of the Board at such stockholders meeting, the Board of Directors shall
meet immediately following the close of, and at the place of, such stockholders
meeting. Any other regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held on
such date and time and at such place as may be designated from time to time by
the Board of Directors. No notice of such meeting following a stockholders
meeting or any other regular meeting shall be necessary if held as hereinabove
provided.

SECTION 2.07. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may
be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board or the President or by a
majority of the Board of Directors by vote at a meeting, or in writing


<PAGE>   6
with or without a meeting. A special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be
held on such date and at any place as may be designated from time to time by the
Board of Directors. In the absence of designation such meeting shall be held at
such place as may be designated in the call.

SECTION 2.08. NOTICE OF MEETING. Except as provided in Section 2.06, the
Secretary shall give notice to each director of each regular and special meeting
of the Board of Directors. The notice shall state the time and place of the
meeting. Notice is given to a director when it is delivered personally to him or
her, left at his or her residence or usual place of business, or sent by
telegraph, facsimile transmission or telephone, at least 24 hours before the
time of the meeting or, in the alternative by mail to his or her address as it
shall appear on the records of the Corporation, at least 72 hours before the
time of the meeting. Unless these Bylaws or a resolution of the Board of
Directors provides otherwise, the notice need not state the business to be
transacted at or the purposes of any regular or special meeting of the Board of
Directors. No notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors need be given to
any director who attends except where a director attends a meeting for the
express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the
meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or to any director who, in writing
executed and filed with the records of the meeting either before or after the
holding thereof, waives such notice. Any meeting of the Board of Directors,
regular or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or
some other place, and no notice need be given of any such adjourned meeting
other than by announcement.

SECTION 2.09. QUORUM; ACTION BY DIRECTORS. A majority of the entire Board of
Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the
absence of a quorum, the directors present by majority vote and without notice
other than by announcement may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a
quorum shall attend. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be
present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the
meeting as originally notified. Unless statute or the Charter or Bylaws requires
a greater proportion, the action of a majority of the directors present at a
meeting at which a quorum is present is action of the Board of Directors. Any
action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors
may be taken without a meeting, if an unanimous written consent which sets forth
the action is signed by each member of the Board of Directors and filed with the
minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 2.10. MEETING BY CONFERENCE TELEPHONE. Members of the Board of Directors
may participate in a meeting by means of a conference telephone or similar
communications equipment if all persons participating in the meeting can hear
each other at the same time. Participation in a meeting by these means
constitutes presence in person at a meeting.

SECTION 2.11. COMPENSATION. By resolution of the Board of Directors a fixed sum
and expenses, if any, for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the
Board of Directors or of committees thereof, and other compensation for their
services as such or on committees of the Board of Directors, may be paid to
directors. Directors who are full-time employees of the Corporation need not be
paid for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or committees thereof
for which fees are paid to other directors. A director who serves the
Corporation in any other capacity also may receive compensation for such other
services, pursuant to a resolution of the directors.

SECTION 2.12. RESIGNATION. Any director may resign at any time by sending a
written notice of such resignation to the home office of the Corporation
addressed to the Chairman of the Board or the President. Unless otherwise
specified therein such resignation shall take effect upon receipt thereof by the
Chairman of the Board or the President.

SECTION 2.13. PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT. A director of the Corporation who is
present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on any corporate
matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless
his or her dissent or abstention shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting
or unless he or she shall file his or her written dissent to such action with
the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof
or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to the Secretary of the
Corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to
dissent shall not apply to a director who votes in favor of such action or fails
to make his dissent known at the meeting.


<PAGE>   7
SECTION 2.14. ADVISORY DIRECTORS. The Board of Directors may by resolution
appoint advisory directors to the Board of Directors, who may also serve as
directors emeriti, and shall have such authority and receive such compensation
and reimbursement as the Board of Directors shall provide. Advisory directors or
directors emeriti shall not have the authority to participate by vote in the
transaction of business.


                                  ARTICLE III.

                                   COMMITTEES

SECTION 3.01. COMMITTEES. The Board of Directors may appoint from among its
members an Executive Committee and other committees composed of one or more
directors and delegate to these committees any of the powers of the Board of
Directors, except the power to authorize dividends on stock, elect directors,
issue stock other than as provided in the next sentence, recommend to the
stockholders any action which requires stockholder approval, amend these Bylaws,
or approve any merger or share exchange which does not require stockholder
approval. If the Board of Directors has given general authorization for the
issuance of stock providing for or establishing a method or procedure for
determining the maximum number of shares to be issued, a committee of the Board
of Directors, in accordance with that general authorization or any stock option
or other plan or program adopted by the Board of Directors, may authorize or fix
the terms of stock subject to classification or reclassification and the terms
on which any stock may be issued, including all terms and conditions required or
permitted to be established or authorized by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 3.02. COMMITTEE PROCEDURE. Each committee may fix rules of procedure for
its business. A majority of the members of a committee shall constitute a quorum
for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of those present at a
meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the committee. The
members of a committee present at any meeting, whether or not they constitute a
quorum, may appoint a director to act in the place of an absent member. Any
action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of a committee may be
taken without a meeting, if an unanimous written consent which sets forth the
action is signed by each member of the committee and filed with the minutes of
the committee. The members of a committee may conduct any meeting thereof by
conference telephone in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10.

SECTION 3.03. EMERGENCY. In the event of a state of disaster of sufficient
severity to prevent the conduct and management of the affairs and business of
the Corporation by its directors and officers as contemplated by the Charter and
these Bylaws, any two or more available members of the then incumbent Executive
Committee shall constitute a quorum of that Committee for the full conduct and
management of the affairs and business of the Corporation in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01. In the event of the unavailability, at such time, of
a minimum of two members of the then incumbent Executive Committee, the
available directors shall elect an Executive Committee consisting of any two
members of the Board of Directors, whether or not they be officers of the
Corporation, which two members shall constitute the Executive Committee for the
full conduct and management of the affairs of the Corporation in accordance with
the foregoing provisions of this Section. This Section shall be subject to
implementation by resolution of the Board of Directors passed from time to time
for that purpose, and any provisions of these Bylaws (other than this Section)
and any resolutions which are contrary to the provisions of this Section or to
the provisions of any such implementary resolutions shall be suspended until it
shall be determined by any interim Executive Committee acting under this Section
that it shall be to the advantage of the Corporation to resume the conduct and
management of its affairs and business under all the other provisions of these
Bylaws.


                                   ARTICLE IV.

                                    OFFICERS

SECTION 4.01. EXECUTIVE AND OTHER OFFICERS. The Corporation shall have a
President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. It may also have a Chairman of the
Board. The Board of Directors shall designate who shall serve as chief executive
officer, who shall have general supervision of the business and affairs of the
Corporation, and may designate a chief operating officer, who shall have
supervision of the operations of the Corporation. In the absence


<PAGE>   8
of any designation the Chairman of the Board, if there be one, shall serve as
chief executive officer and the President shall serve as chief operating
officer. In the absence of the Chairman of the Board, or if there be none, the
President shall be the chief executive officer. The same person may hold both
offices, and two or more persons may share an office. The Corporation may also
have one or more Vice-Presidents, assistant officers, and subordinate officers
as may be established by the Board of Directors. A person may hold more than one
office in the Corporation except that no person may serve concurrently as both
President and Vice-President of the Corporation. The Chairman of the Board shall
be a director, and the other officers may be directors.

SECTION 4.02. CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. The Chairman of the Board, if one be
elected, shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors and of the

duties as are from time to time assigned to them by the Board of Directors, the

SECTION 4.08. ELECTION, TENURE AND REMOVAL OF OFFICERS. The Board of Directors
shall elect the officers of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may from
time to time authorize any committee or officer to appoint assistant and
subordinate officers. Election or appointment of an officer, employee or agent
shall not of itself create contract rights. All officers shall be appointed to
hold their offices, respectively, during the pleasure of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors (or, as to any assistant or subordinate officer, any
committee or officer authorized by the Board of Directors) may remove an officer
at any time. The removal of an officer does not prejudice any of his or her

a vacancy which occurs in any office for the unexpired portion of the term.

SECTION 4.09. COMPENSATION. The Board of Directors shall have power to fix the
salaries and other compensation and remuneration, of whatever kind, of all
officers of the Corporation. No officer shall be prevented from receiving such
salary by reason of the fact that he or she is also a director of the
Corporation. The Board of Directors may authorize any committee or officer, upon
whom the power of appointing assistant and subordinate officers may have been
conferred, to fix the salaries, compensation and remuneration of such assistant
and subordinate officers.


                                   ARTICLE V.

                                DIVISIONAL TITLES

SECTION 5.01. CONFERRING DIVISIONAL TITLES. The Board of Directors may from time
to time confer upon any employee of a division of the Corporation the title of
President, Vice President, Treasurer or Controller of such division or any other
title or titles deemed appropriate, or may authorize the Chairman of the Board
or the President to do so. Any such titles so conferred may be discontinued and
withdrawn at any time by the Board of Directors, or by the Chairman of the Board
or the President if so authorized by the Board of Directors. Any employee of a
division designated by such a divisional title shall have the powers and duties
with respect to such division as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors,
the Chairman of the Board or the President.

SECTION 5.02. EFFECT OF DIVISIONAL TITLES. The conferring of divisional titles
shall not create an office of the Corporation under Article IV unless

                                   ARTICLE VI.

                                      STOCK

SECTION 6.01. CERTIFICATES FOR STOCK. The Board of Directors may determine to
issue certificated or uncertificated shares of capital stock and other
securities of the Corporation. For certificated stock, each stockholder is
entitled to certificates which represent and certify the shares of stock he or
she holds in the Corporation. Each stock certificate shall include on its face
the name of the Corporation, the name of the stockholder or other person to whom
it is issued, and the class of stock and number of shares it represents. It
shall also include on its face or back (a) a statement of any restrictions on
transferability and a statement of the designations and any preferences,
conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of the stock
of each class which the Corporation is authorized to issue, of the differences
in the relative rights and preferences between the shares of each series of a
preferred or special class in series which the Corporation is authorized to
issue, to the extent they have been set, and of the authority of the Board of
Directors to set the relative rights and preferences of subsequent series of a
preferred or special class of stock or (b) a statement


<PAGE>   10
which provides in substance that the Corporation will furnish a full statement
of such information to any stockholder on request and without charge. Such
request may be made to the Secretary or to its transfer agent. Except as
provided in the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code - Investment Securities, the
fact that a stock certificate does not contain or refer to a restriction on
transferability that is adopted after the date of issuance does not mean that
the restriction is invalid or unenforceable. Upon the issuance of uncertificated
shares of capital stock, the Corporation shall send the stockholder a written
statement of the same information required above on the certificate and by the
Maryland Uniform Commercial Code - Investment Securities. It shall be in such
form, not inconsistent with law or with the Charter, as shall be approved by the
Board of Directors or any officer or officers designated for such purpose by
resolution of the Board of Directors. Each stock certificate shall be signed by
the Chairman of the Board, the President, or a Vice-President, and countersigned
by the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer, or an Assistant
Treasurer. Each certificate may be sealed with the actual corporate seal or a
facsimile of it or in any other form and the signatures may be either manual or
facsimile signatures. A certificate is valid and may be issued whether or not an
officer who signed it is still an officer when it is issued. A certificate may
not be issued until the stock represented by it is fully paid.

SECTION 6.02. TRANSFERS. The Board of Directors shall have power and authority
to make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the
issue, transfer and registration of certificates of stock; and may appoint
transfer agents and registrars thereof. The duties of transfer agent and
registrar may be combined.

SECTION 6.03. RECORD DATES OR CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS. The Board of Directors
may, and shall have the sole power to, set a record date or direct that the
stock transfer books be closed for a stated period for the purpose of making any
proper determination with respect to stockholders, including which stockholders
are entitled to request a special meeting of stockholders, notice of a meeting
of stockholders, vote at a meeting of stockholders, receive a dividend, or be
allotted other rights. The record date may not be prior to the close of business
on the day the record date is fixed nor, subject to Section 1.06, more than 90
days before the date on which the action requiring the determination will be
taken; the transfer books may not be closed for a period longer than 20 days;
and, in the case of a meeting of stockholders, the record date or the closing of
the transfer books shall be at least ten days before the date of the meeting.
Any shares of the Corporation's own stock acquired by the Corporation between
the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at
a meeting of stockholders and the time of the meeting may be voted at the
meeting by the holder of record as of the record date and shall be counted in
determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at the
meeting.

SECTION 6.04. STOCK LEDGER. The Corporation shall maintain a stock ledger which
contains the name and address of each stockholder and the number of shares of
stock of each class which the stockholder holds. The stock ledger may be in
written form or in any other form which can be converted within a reasonable
time into written form for visual inspection. The original or a duplicate of the
stock ledger shall be kept at the offices of a transfer agent for the particular
class of stock, or, if none, at the principal office in the State of Maryland or
the principal executive offices of the Corporation.

SECTION 6.05. CERTIFICATION OF BENEFICIAL OWNERS. The Board of Directors may
adopt by resolution a procedure by which a stockholder of the Corporation may
certify in writing to the Corporation that any shares of stock registered in the
name of the stockholder are held for the account of a specified person other
than the stockholder. The resolution shall set forth the class of stockholders
who may certify; the purpose for which the certification may be made; the form
of certification and the information to be contained in it; if the certification
is with respect to a record date or closing of the stock transfer books, the
time after the record date or closing of the stock transfer books within which
the certification must be received by the Corporation; and any other provisions
with respect to the procedure which the Board of Directors considers necessary
or desirable. On receipt of a certification which complies with the procedure
adopted by the Board of Directors in accordance with this Section, the person
specified in the certification is, for the purpose set forth in the
certification, the holder of record of the specified stock in place of the
stockholder who makes the certification.

SECTION 6.06. LOST STOCK CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors may determine the
conditions for issuing a new stock certificate in place of one which is alleged
to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, or the Board of Directors may delegate
such power to any officer or officers of the Corporation. In their discretion,
the Board of Directors or


<PAGE>   11
such officer or officers may require the owner of the certificate to give bond,
with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Corporation against any loss or claim
arising as a result of the issuance of a new certificate. In their discretion,
the Board of Directors or such officer or officers may refuse to issue such new
certificate save upon the order of some court having jurisdiction in the
premises.

SECTION 6.07. EXEMPTION FROM CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITION STATUTE. The provisions
of Sections 3-701 to 3-709 of the Maryland General Corporation Law shall not
apply to any share of the capital stock of the Corporation. Such shares of
capital stock are exempted from such Sections to the fullest extent permitted by
Maryland law.


                                  ARTICLE VII.

                                     FINANCE

SECTION 7.01. CHECKS, DRAFTS, ETC. All checks, drafts and orders for the payment
of money, notes and other evidences of indebtedness, issued in the name of the
Corporation, shall, unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of
Directors, be signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President, a
Vice-President, an Assistant Vice-President, the Treasurer, an Assistant
Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.

SECTION 7.02. ANNUAL STATEMENT OF AFFAIRS. The President or chief accounting
officer shall prepare annually a full and correct statement of the affairs of
the Corporation, to include a balance sheet and a financial statement of
operations for the preceding fiscal year. The statement of affairs shall be
submitted at the annual meeting of the stockholders and, within 20 days after
the meeting, placed on file at the Corporation's principal office.

SECTION 7.03. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be the 12
calendar months period ending December 31 in each year, unless otherwise
provided by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 7.04. DIVIDENDS. If declared by the Board of Directors at any meeting
thereof, the Corporation may pay dividends on its shares in cash, property, or
in shares of the capital stock of the Corporation, unless such dividend is
contrary to law or to a restriction contained in the Charter.

SECTION 7.06. LOANS. No loans shall be contracted on behalf of the Corporation
and no evidence of indebtedness shall be issued in its name unless authorized by
the Board of Directors. Such authority may be general or confined to specific
instances.

SECTION 7.07. DEPOSITS. All funds of the Corporation not otherwise employed
shall be deposited from time to time to the credit of the Corporation in any of
its duly authorized depositories as the Board of Directors may select.


                                  ARTICLE VIII.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 8.01. PROCEDURE. Any indemnification, or payment of expenses in advance
of the final disposition of any proceeding, shall be made promptly, and in any
event within 60 days, upon the written request of the director or officer
entitled to seek indemnification (the "Indemnified Party"). The right to
indemnification and advances hereunder shall be enforceable by the Indemnified
Party in any court of competent jurisdiction, if (i) the Corporation denies such
request, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition thereof is made within 60
days. The Indemnified Party's costs and expenses incurred in connection with
successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in
part, in any such action shall also be reimbursed by the Corporation. It shall
be a defense to any action for advance for expenses that (a) a determination has
been made that the facts then known to those making the determination would
preclude indemnification or (b) the Corporation has not received both (i) an
undertaking as required by law to repay such advances in the event it shall
ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met and (ii)
a written affirmation by the Indemnified Party of such Indemnified Party's good
faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the
Corporation has been met.


<PAGE>   12
SECTION 8.02. EXCLUSIVITY, ETC. The indemnification and advance of expenses
provided by the Charter and these Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advance of expenses
may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), or any agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or other provision that is consistent
with law, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding office or while employed by or acting as agent
for the Corporation, shall continue in respect of all events occurring while a
person was a director or officer after such person has ceased to be a director
or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and
administrators of such person. The Corporation shall not be liable for any
payment under this Bylaw in connection with a claim made by a director or
officer to the extent such director or officer has otherwise actually received
payment under insurance policy, agreement, vote or otherwise, of the amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. All rights to indemnification and advance of
expenses under the Charter of the Corporation and hereunder shall be deemed to
be a contract between the Corporation and each director or officer of the
Corporation who serves or served in such capacity at any time while this Bylaw
is in effect. Nothing herein shall prevent the amendment of this Bylaw, provided
that no such amendment shall diminish the rights of any person hereunder with
respect to events occurring or claims made before its adoption or as to claims
made after its adoption in respect of events occurring before its adoption. Any
repeal or modification of this Bylaw shall not in any way diminish any rights to
indemnification or advance of expenses of such director or officer or the
obligations of the Corporation arising hereunder with respect to events
occurring, or claims made, while this Bylaw or any provision hereof is in force.

SECTION 8.03. SEVERABILITY; DEFINITIONS. The invalidity or unenforceability of
any provision of this Article VIII shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision hereof. The phrase "this Bylaw" in this
Article VIII means this Article VIII in its entirety.


                                   ARTICLE IX.

                                SUNDRY PROVISIONS

SECTION 9.01. BOOKS AND RECORDS. The Corporation shall keep correct and complete
books and records of its accounts and transactions and minutes of the
proceedings of its stockholders and Board of Directors and of any executive or
other committee when exercising any of the powers of the Board of Directors. The
books and records of the Corporation may be in written form or in any other form
which can be converted within a reasonable time into written form for visual
inspection. Minutes shall be recorded in written form but may be maintained in
the form of a reproduction. The original or a certified copy of these Bylaws
shall be kept at the principal office of the Corporation.

SECTION 9.02. CORPORATE SEAL. The Board of Directors shall provide a suitable
seal, bearing the name of the Corporation, which shall be in the charge of the
Secretary. The Board of Directors may authorize one or more duplicate seals and
provide for the custody thereof. If the Corporation is required to place its
corporate seal to a document, it is sufficient to meet the requirement of any
law, rule, or regulation relating to a corporate seal to place the word "(seal)"
adjacent to the signature of the person authorized to sign the document on
behalf of the Corporation.

SECTION 9.03. BONDS. The Board of Directors may require any officer, agent or
employee of the Corporation to give a bond to the Corporation, conditioned upon

SECTION 9.04. VOTING STOCK IN OTHER CORPORATIONS. Stock of other corporations or
associations, registered in the name of the Corporation, may be voted by the
President, a Vice-President, or a proxy appointed by either of them. The Board
of Directors, however, may by resolution appoint some other person to vote such
shares, in which case such person shall be entitled to vote such shares upon the
production of a certified copy of such resolution.

SECTION 9.05. MAIL. Any notice or other document which is required by these
Bylaws to be mailed shall be deposited in the United States mails, postage
prepaid.


<PAGE>   13
SECTION 9.06. CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, and except as otherwise prescribed by the Charter or these Bylaws, the
Board of Directors may authorize any officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation to enter into any contract or execute and deliver any instrument in
the name of and on behalf of the Corporation. Such authority may be general or
confined to specific instances. A person who holds more than one office in the
Corporation may not act in more than one capacity to execute, acknowledge, or
verify an instrument required by law to be executed, acknowledged, or verified
by more than one officer.

SECTION 9.07. RELIANCE. Each director and officer of the Corporation shall, in
the performance of his or her duties with respect to the Corporation, be
entitled to rely on any information, opinion report or statement, including
financial statement or other financial data, prepared or presented by an officer
or employee of the Corporation whom the director or officer reasonably believes
to be reliable and competent in the matters presented, by a lawyer, certified
public accountant or other person as to a matter which the director or officer
reasonably believes to be within the person's professional or expert competence
or by a committee of the Board of Directors on which the director does not
serve, as to a matter within its designated authority, if the director believes
the committee to merit confidence.

SECTION 9.08. AMENDMENTS. In accordance with the Charter, these Bylaws may be
repealed, altered, amended or rescinded and new bylaws may be adopted (a) by the
stockholders of the Corporation (considered for this purpose as one class) by
the affirmative vote of not less than 80% of all the votes entitled to be cast
by the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation generally in the
election of directors which are cast on the matter at any meeting of the
stockholders called for that purpose (provided that notice of such proposal is
included in the notice of such meeting) or (b) by the Board of Directors by the
affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the Board of Directors at a
meeting held in accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws.
