***Article I  Stockholders' Meeting***

       **1. Place of Meeting.** Meetings of the stockholders  shall be held at the registered office of the Corporation in Delaware, or at  such other place within or without the State of Delaware as may be designated  by the Board of Directors or the stockholders.       **2. Annual Meeting.** The annual meeting of  the stockholders shall be held on such date and at such time and place as the  Board of Directors may designate. The date, place and time of the annual meeting  shall be stated in the notice of such meeting delivered to or mailed to stockholders.  At such annual meeting the stockholders shall elect directors, in accordance  with the requirements of the Certificate of Incorporation, and transact such  other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.      ** 3. Quorum.** The holders of stock representing  a majority of the voting power of all shares of stock issued and outstanding  and entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, shall be requisite for  and shall constitute a quorum of all meetings of the stockholders, except as  otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By  laws. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the stockholders, the  stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote shall, by the  vote of holders of stock representing a majority of the voting power of all  shares present at the meeting, have the power to adjourn the meeting from time  to time in the manner provided in paragraph 4 of Article I of these By laws  until a quorum shall be present.**     4. Adjournments. **Any meeting of stockholders,  annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or  some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting  if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment  is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business  which might have been transacted at the original meeting. 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 at the meeting.       **5. Voting; Proxies.**At each meeting of  the stockholders of the Corporation, every stockholder having the right to vote  may authorize another person to act for him or her by proxy. Such authorization  must be in writing and executed by the stockholder or his or her authorized  officer, director, employee, or agent. To the extent permitted by law, a stockholder  may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy by transmitting  or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic  transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy  solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized  by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission  provided that the telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission either sets  forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that  the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the  stockholder.

A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable  if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled  with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder  may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting  in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing  a subsequent duly executed proxy with the Secretary of the Corporation. The  vote for directors shall be by ballot. Unless a greater number of affirmative  votes is required by the Certificate of Incorporation, these by laws, the rules  or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or as otherwise  required by law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation,  if a quorum exists at any meeting of stockholders, stockholders shall have approved  any matter, other than the election of directors, if the votes cast by stockholders  present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote  on the matter in favor of such matter exceed the votes cast by such stockholders  against such matter. A nominee for director shall be elected to the Board of  Directors if the votes cast for such nominee's election exceed the votes cast  against such nominee's election; provided, however, that directors shall be  elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of stockholders for  which (i) the Secretary of the Corporation receives a notice that a stockholder  has nominated a person for election to the Board of Directors in compliance  with the advance notice requirements for stockholder nominees for director set  forth in Article II, Section 13 of these By-laws and (ii) such nomination has  not been withdrawn by such stockholder on or prior to the day next preceding  the date the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting  to the stockholders. If directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes  cast, stockholders shall not be permitted to vote against a nominee.

       **6. Notice.** Written notice of an annual  or special meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat,  not less than ten nor more than sixty days prior to the meeting. If mailed,  such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the mail, postage  pre paid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on  the records of the Corporation.

       **7. Inspectors of Election.** The Corporation  shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors  of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation  may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector  who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated  is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting  shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector,  before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign  an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality  and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors  so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital  stock of the

2

Corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine  the shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and  the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv)  determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of  any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify  their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation  represented at the meeting and such inspectors' count of all votes and ballots.  Such certification shall specify such other information as may be required by  law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at  any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the inspectors may consider  such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate  for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

       **8. Stock List.** At least ten days before  every meeting of the stockholders a complete list of the stockholders entitled  to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the post office  address of each, and the number of shares held by each, shall be prepared by  the Secretary. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder  for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours 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 for said ten days, and shall be produced and  kept at the time and place of meeting during the whole time thereof and subject  to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present. The original or duplicate  stock ledger shall be provided at the time and place of each meeting and shall  be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the  list of stockholders or to vote in person or by proxy at such meeting.

       **9. Special Meetings.** Special meetings of  the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called by the Chair of the  Board, and shall be called by the Chair of the Board or the Secretary at the  request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors. Such request shall  state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at  all special meetings shall be confined to the objects stated in the notice of  special meeting.

      ** 10. Organization.**Meetings of stockholders  shall be presided over by the Chair of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence  by a Chair designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation  by a Chair chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the  meeting, but in his or her absence the Chair of the meeting may appoint any  person to act as secretary of the meeting.

       **11. Conduct of Meetings**. The date and time  of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders  will vote at a meeting shall be announced at such meeting by the person presiding  over the meeting. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may adopt by resolution  such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it  shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and  regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chair of any meeting of  stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations  and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chair, are  appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or  procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chair  of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (1) the establishment  of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (2) rules and procedures  for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (3) limitations  on attendance at or participation in the meeting, to stockholders of record  of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other  persons as the chair shall permit; (4) restrictions on entry to the meeting

after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, and (5) limitations on the  time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless, and to the extent  determined by the Board of Directors or the chair of the meeting, meetings of  stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary  procedure.

      ** 12. Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders  of Record.** In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders  entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment  thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution  or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of  any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other  lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date  shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date  is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date: (1) in the case  of determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders  or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more  than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting; and (2) in  the case of any other action, shall not be more than sixty days prior to such  other action. If no record date is fixed: (1)(a) the record date for determining  stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall  be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice  is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the date next  preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (1)(b) the record date for  determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business  on the day on which the of Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating,  thereto. 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.

       **13. Notice of Stockholder Proposal**. At  an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted  as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought  before an annual meeting business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting  (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors,  (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of  the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting  by a stockholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting  by a stockholder (other than the nomination of a person for election as a director,  which is governed by paragraph 13 of Article II of these by-laws), the stockholder  must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation.  To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received  at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (1) 60 days in advance  of such meeting if such meeting is to be held on a day which is within 30 days  preceding the anniversary of the previous year's annual meeting or 90 days in  advance of such meeting if such meeting is to be held on or after the anniversary  of the previous year's annual meeting; and (2) with respect to any other annual  meeting of stockholders, the close of business on the tenth day following the  date of public disclosure of the date of such meeting. (For purposes of this  paragraph 13 of Article I of these By laws, public disclosure shall be deemed  to include a disclosure made in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News  Services, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document  filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant  to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).  A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the  stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) 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, 

4

----

(b) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of the  stockholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the  Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (d) any material  interest of the stockholder in such business. Notwithstanding anything in the  by-laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting  except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph 13 of Article  I. The chair of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and  declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting  in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph 13 of Article I, and if  he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and  any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

***Article II  Directors.***

       **1. Number; Election; Term.** The number of  directors which shall constitute the whole Board shall not be less than ten,  nor more than twenty-four, the exact number within said limits to be fixed from  time to time solely by resolution of the Board, acting by the vote of not less  than a majority of the directors then in office. A majority of the directors  shall consist of persons who are not employees of the Corporation or of any  subsidiary of the Corporation. Should the death, resignation or other removal  of any non employee director result in the failure of the requirement set forth  in the preceding sentence to be met, such requirement shall not apply during  the time of the vacancy caused by the death, resignation or removal of any such  non employee director. The remaining directors of the Corporation shall cause  any such vacancy to be filled in accordance with these By laws within a reasonable  period of time. At the annual meeting directors shall be elected in accordance  with the requirements of these By-laws and the Certificate of Incorporation.     **  2.

Vacancies**. Subject to the rights of  the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, if  the office of any director becomes vacant for any reason or any new directorship  is created by any increase in the authorized number of directors, a majority  of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, may choose a successor  or successors or fill the newly created directorship. Any director so chosen  shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director  shall have been chosen and until his successor shall be elected and qualified.      ** 4. Organizational Meeting.** The Board of  Directors shall meet for the purpose of organization, the election of officers  and the transaction of other business, after each annual election of directors  on the day and at the place of the next regular meeting of the Board. Notice  of such meeting need not be given. Such meeting may be held at any other time  or place which shall be specified in a notice given as hereinafter provided  for special meetings of the Board of Directors or in a consent and waiver of  notice thereof signed by all of the directors.       **5.

Quorum**. At all meetings of the Board  the presence of one third of the total number of directors determined by resolution  pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Article II to constitute the Board of Directors  shall 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 shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except  as may be otherwise specifically provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation  or by these By laws.       **8. Executive Committee.** There shall be  an Executive Committee of three or more directors elected by a majority of the  Board. The Committee shall be composed of the Chief Executive Officer, the President,  and such other directors as the Board shall elect. The Board, by resolution,  may designate one or more directors as alternate members of the Committee, who  may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the Committee.  In the absence or disqualification of a member of the Committee, the member  or members present at any meeting of the Committee and not disqualified from  voting, whether or not he, she or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously  appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any  such absent or disqualified member. The ratio of inside directors to outside  directors serving on the Committee shall, to the extent feasible, be as near  as possible to the ratio of inside directors to outside directors serving on  the full Board. A quorum shall be a majority of the members of the Committee.  Regular meetings of the Committee shall be held without notice at such time  and place as shall from time to time be determined by the Committee; special  meetings of the Committee may be called pursuant to the rules determined by  the Committee. The Committee shall generally perform such duties and exercise  such powers as may be directed or delegated by the Board of Directors from time  to time. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Committee shall have authority  to exercise all the powers of the Board while the Board is not in session. The  act of a majority of the Committee members present at any meeting at which there  is a quorum shall be the act of the Committee except as may be otherwise specifically  provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By laws. The  Committee shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same  to the Board at its next regular meeting.      ** 9. Additional Committees.**The Board of  Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate  one or more additional committees, each committee to consist of one or more  of the directors of the Corporation. In the event that the Board shall designate  a committee that shall have the power to recommend changes in the compensation  of senior management of the Corporation and/or a committee that shall have the  power to recommend nominees for election as directors of the Corporation, the  membership of such committees shall consist solely of directors who are not  employees of the Corporation or of any subsidiary of the Corporation. The Board  may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any such additional  committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting  of the committee. Any such committee shall have such powers as are granted to  it by the resolution of the Board or by subsequent resolutions passed by a majority  of the whole

6

----

Board. Nothing herein shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to  appoint other committees consisting in whole or in part of persons who are not  directors of the Corporation to carry out such functions as the Board may designate.  Unless otherwise provided for in any resolution of the Board of Directors designating  a committee pursuant to this paragraph 9 of Article II: (i) a quorum for the  transaction of business of such committee shall be fifty percent or more of  the authorized number of members of such committee; and (ii) the act of a majority  of the members of such committee present at any meeting of such committee at  which there is a quorum shall be the act of the committee (except as otherwise  specifically provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By  laws).       **10. Presence at Meeting.** Members of the  Board of Directors or any committee designated by such Board may participate  in the meeting of said Board or committee by means of conference telephone or  similar communications equipment by means of which all persons in the meeting  can hear each other and participate. The ability to participate in a meeting  in the above manner shall constitute presence at said meeting for purposes of  a quorum and any action thereat.

       **11. Action Without Meetings.** Any action  required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or  any committee designated by such Board may be taken without a meeting, if all  members of the Board or committee consent thereto in writing and the writing  or writings are filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board or committee.       **12. Eligibility to Make Nominations.** Nominations  of candidates for election as directors at any meeting of stockholders called  for election of directors (an "Election Meeting") may be made (1)  by any stockholder entitled to vote at such Election Meeting only in accordance  with the procedures established by paragraph 13 of this Article II, or (2) by  the Board of Directors. In order to be eligible for election as a director,  any director nominee must first be nominated in accordance with the provisions  of these By-laws.       **13. Procedure for Nominations by Stockholders.**  Any stockholder entitled to vote for the election of a director at an Election  Meeting may nominate one or more persons for such election only if written notice  of such stockholder's intent to make such nomination is delivered to or mailed  and received by the Secretary of the Corporation. Such notice must be received  by the Secretary not later than the following dates: (1) with respect to an  annual meeting of stockholders, 60 days in advance of such meeting if such meeting  is to be held on a day which is within 30 days preceding the anniversary of  the previous year's annual meeting or 90 days in advance of such meeting if  such meeting is to be held on or after the anniversary of the previous year's  annual meeting; and (2) with respect to any other annual meeting of stockholders  or a special meeting of stockholders, the close of business on the tenth day  following the date of public disclosure of the date of such meeting. (For purposes  of this paragraph 13 of Article II of these By laws, public disclosure shall  be deemed to include a disclosure made in a press release reported by the Dow  Jones News Services, Associated Press or a comparable national news service  or in a document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant  to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.)

   **  14. Compliance with Procedures.** If the  Chair of the Election Meeting determines that a nomination of any candidate  for election as a director was not made in accordance with the applicable provisions  of these By-laws, such nomination shall be void, provided, however, that nothing  in these By laws shall be deemed to limit any class voting rights upon the occurrence  of dividend arrearages provided to holders of Preferred Stock.

       **2. Lost Certificates.** The Board of Directors  or any officer of the Corporation to whom the Board of Directors has delegated  authority may authorize any transfer agent of the Corporation to issue, and  any registrar of the Corporation to register, at any time and from time to time  unless otherwise directed, a new certificate or certificates of stock in the  place of a certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation,  alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon receipt by the transfer agent of  evidence of such loss or destruction, which may be the affidavit of the applicant;  a bond indemnifying the Corporation and any transfer agent and registrar of  the class of stock involved against claims that may be made against it or them  on account of the lost or destroyed certificate or the issuance of a new certificate,  of such kind and in such amount as the Board of Directors shall have authorized  the transfer agent to accept generally or as the Board of Directors or an authorized  officer shall approve in particular cases; and any other documents or instruments  that the Board of Directors or an authorized officer may require from time to  time to protect adequately the interest of the Corporation. A new certificate  may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the directors,  it is proper to do so.

       **3. Transfers of Stock.** Transfers of stock  shall be made upon the books of the Corporation: (1) upon presentation of the  certificates by the registered holder in person or by duly authorized attorney,  or upon presentation of proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority  to transfer the stock, and upon surrender of the appropriate certificate(s),  or (2) in the case of uncertificated shares, upon receipt of proper transfer  instructions from the registered owner of such uncertificated shares, or from  a duly authorized attorney or from an individual presenting proper evidence  of succession, assignment or authority to transfer the stock.

Right to Indemnification.** The Corporation  shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable  law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or  is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any  action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative  (a "proceeding") by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person  for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer,  employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of  the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation  or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, nonprofit entity, or other enterprise,  including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability  and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred  by such person. The Corporation shall be required to indemnify a person in connection  with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by

10

----

such person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the  Board of Directors of the Corporation.

     **2. Prepayment of Expenses.**  The Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred  by an officer or director of the Corporation in defending any proceeding in  advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that the payment of such  expenses shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or  officer to repay all amounts advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that  the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified. Payment of such expenses  incurred by other employees and agents of the Corporation may be made by the  Board of Directors in its discretion upon such terms and conditions, if any,  as it deems appropriate.

       **3. Claims.** If a claim for indemnification  or payment of expenses (including attorneys' fees) under this Article is not  paid in full within sixty days after a written claim therefor has been received  by the Corporation the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of  such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid  the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall  have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested  indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

      ** 4. Nonexclusivity of Rights**. The right  conferred on any person by this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other  rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision  of the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders  or disinterested directors or otherwise.
