made and entered into as of this 30 day of August, 2004, by and among MTI
Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the entities

                                   BACKGROUND

      A. The Company and the Investors are parties to that certain Investor
Rights Agreement, dated as of June 17, 2004 (the "Investor Rights Agreement"),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to file the Shelf Registration Statement
(as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) with the Securities and Exchange
Commission by July 17, 2004.

      B. The Company and the Investors desire to amend the Investor Rights
Agreement to extend the deadline for filing the Shelf Registration Statement to
August 30, 2004.

                                    AGREEMENT

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set
forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

1. Amended and Restated Section 2.3. Section 2.3 of the Investor Rights
Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

      "2.3 Shelf Registration. The Company shall prepare and file with the
      Commission a Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as practicable after
      the date hereof (and in any event by no later than August 30, 2004), and
      shall take such steps as are necessary to enable the Shelf Registration to
      be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as practicable
      thereafter (and in any event by no later than September 30, 2004, or, if
      the Shelf Registration Statement (including any of the documents
      incorporated by reference therein) is the subject of a complete or partial
      review by the Commission, in any event by no later than November 30,
      2004). The Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if
      the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable
      Shares on Form S-3, in which case such Shelf Registration Statement shall
      be on such other form as the Company is eligible to use). The Company
      shall notify each Investor in writing promptly (in any event within one
      Trading Day) after receiving notification from the Commission that the
      Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective."

2. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Amendment shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
Delaware.

adjournment is for more than thirty days, or unless after the adjournment a new
record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, in which event a notice of the
adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote
at the meeting.

            (d) Notice of the time, place and purpose of any meeting of
stockholders may be waived in writing, either before or after such meeting, and
to the extent permitted by law, will be waived by any stockholder by his
attendance thereat, in person or by proxy. Any stockholder so waiving notice of
such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all
respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

            (e) Unless and until voted, every proxy shall be revocable at the
pleasure of the person who executed it or of his legal representatives or
assigns, except in those cases where an irrevocable proxy permitted by statute
has been given.

      Section 5. Quorum and Voting.

            (a) At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided
by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, the presence, in
person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business. Shares, the voting of which at said meeting have been
enjoined, or which for any reason cannot be lawfully voted at such meeting,
shall not be counted to determine a quorum at said meeting. In the absence of a
quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, by vote
of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other
business shall be transacted at such meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which
a quorum is present or represented any business may be transacted which might
have been transacted at the original meeting. The stockholders present at a duly
called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to
transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

            (b) Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, all action taken by the holders of a majority of
the voting power represented at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall
be valid and binding upon the corporation.

            (c) Where a separate vote by a class or classes is required, a
majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes, present in person
or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with
respect to that vote on that matter and the affirmative vote of

                                       2
<PAGE>

the majority of shares of such class or classes present in person or represented
by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class.

      Section 6. Voting Rights.

            (a) Except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names
shares entitled to vote stand on the stock records of the corporation on the
record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting
shall be entitled to vote at such meeting. Shares standing in the names of two
or more persons shall be voted or represented in accordance with the
determination of the majority of such persons, or, if only one of such persons
is present in person or represented by proxy, such person shall have the right
to vote such shares and such shares shall be deemed to be represented for the
purpose of determining a quorum.

            (b) Every person entitled to vote or execute consents shall have the
right to do so either in person or by an agent or agents authorized by a written
proxy executed by such person or his duly authorized agent, which proxy shall be
filed with the Secretary of the corporation at or before the meeting at which it
is to be used. Said proxy so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall
be voted on after three years from its date unless the proxy provides for a
longer period.

            (c) Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize
another person or persons to act for him as proxy pursuant to subsection (b) of
this section, the following shall constitute a valid means by which a
stockholder may grant such authority:

                  (1) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another
person or persons to act for him as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the
stockholder or his authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such
writing or causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any
reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

                  (2) A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to
act for him 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 any such
telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission must either set
forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the
telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the
stockholder. Such authorization can be established by the signature of the
stockholder on the proxy, either in writing or by a signature stamp or facsimile
signature, or by a number or symbol from which the identity of the stockholder
can be determined, or by any other procedure deemed appropriate by the
inspectors or other persons making the determination as to due authorization. If
it is determined that such telegrams, cablegrams or other electronic
transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such
other persons making that determination shall specify the information upon which
they relied.

            (d) Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable
reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to subsection (c)
of this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or
transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or
transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication
or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original
writing or transmission.

      Section 7. Voting Procedures and Inspectors of Elections.

            (a) The corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of
stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors 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. If no inspector
or alternate 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 duties, shall take and sign
an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality
and according to the best of his ability.

            (b) The inspectors shall (i) ascertain the number of shares
outstanding and the voting power of each, (ii) determine the shares represented
at a 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 represented at the
meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or
retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of
the duties of the inspectors.

            (c) 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 the meeting. No ballot, proxies or votes, nor any revocations
thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the Inspectors after the
closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery upon application by a
stockholder shall determine otherwise.

            (d) In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots,
the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes
submitted with those proxies, any information provided in accordance with
Section 212(c)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, ballots and the
regular books and records of the corporation, except that the inspectors may
consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling
proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees
or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is
authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds
of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited
purpose permitted herein, the inspectors at the time they make their
certification pursuant to subsection (b)(v) of this section shall specify the
precise information considered by them including the person or persons from whom
they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by
which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors' belief that
such information is accurate and reliable.

      Section 8. List of Stockholders. 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
said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of and the
number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be
open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the
meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior
to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be
held and which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not
specified, at the place where said meeting is to be held, and the list shall be
produced and kept at the time and place of meeting during the whole time
thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

                                       4

      Section 9. Stockholder Proposals at Annual Meetings. 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 specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement
thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, otherwise
properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder. In
addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, 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, not less than 30 days nor
more than 60 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event
that less than 40 days notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the
meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely
must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day
following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was
mailed or such public disclosure was made. A stockholder's notice to the
Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the 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 record address of the stockholder
proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the corporation
which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (iv) any material interest
of the stockholder in such business.

      Notwithstanding anything in the Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall
be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 9, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall
be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly
brought before the annual meeting in accordance with said procedure.

      The Chairman of an 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 Section 9, and if he should so
determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly
brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

      Section 10. Nominations of Persons for Election to the Board of Directors.
In addition to any other applicable requirements, only persons who are nominated
in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as
directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the
corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the direction of
the Board of Directors, by any nominating committee or person appointed by the
Board of Directors or by any stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote for
the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures
set forth in this Section 10. Such nominations, other than those made by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice
in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's
notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive
offices of the corporation not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to
the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 40 days notice
or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to
stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not
later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such
notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made.
Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the
stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, (i)
the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the
principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class and number of
shares of the corporation which are

                                       5
<PAGE>

beneficially owned by the person, and (iv) any other information relating to the
person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for
election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14a under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice, (i) the name and
record address of the stockholder, and (ii) the class and number of shares of
the corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder. The corporation
may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may
reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such
proposed nominee to serve as a director of the corporation. No person shall be
eligible for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in
accordance with the procedures set forth herein. These provisions shall not
apply to nomination of any persons entitled to be separately elected by holders
of preferred stock.

      The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and
declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the
foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the
meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

      Section 11. Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation, any action required by statute 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
or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are 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. To be effective, a
written consent must be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its
registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or
agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of
meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a corporation's
registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of
each stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective
to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty days of
the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Section to
the corporation, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to
take action are delivered to the corporation in accordance with this Section.
Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less
than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not
consented in writing.

                                  ARTICLE III

                                    Directors

      Section 1. Number and Term of Office.

            (a) The number of directors constituting the entire Board of
Directors shall not be less than five (5) nor more than nine (9) as fixed from
time to time by vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors, provided,
however, that the number of directors shall not be reduced so as to shorten the
term of any director at the time in office, and provided further, that the
number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors shall be eight
(8) until otherwise fixed by a majority of the entire Board.

            (b) The directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of
shareholders but, if any such annual meeting is not held or the directors are
not elected thereat, the directors may be

                                       6
<PAGE>

elected at any special meeting of shareholders held for that purpose. All
directors shall hold office until their respective successors are elected,
subject to the General Corporation Law and the provisions of these Bylaws with
respect to vacancies on the Board. Directors need not be stockholders. Except as
otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, whenever the
holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right,
voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the Corporation,
the terms of the director or directors elected by such holders shall expire at
the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. Subject to the foregoing, at
each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to the class of directors
whose terms shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for a term
expiring at the succeeding annual meeting. If for any cause, the successors to
the class of directors whose terms shall then expire shall not have been elected
at an annual meeting, they may be elected as soon thereafter as convenient at a
special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose in the manner
provided in these Bylaws.

      Section 2. Powers. The powers of the corporation shall be exercised, its
business conducted and its property controlled by or under the direction of the
Board of Directors.

      Section 3. Vacancies. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting
from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a
majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a
sole remaining director, and each director so elected shall hold office until
the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen,
and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. A vacancy in
the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist under this section in the case
of the death, removal or resignation of any director, or if the stockholders
fail at any meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected
(including any meeting referred to in Section 4 below) to elect the number of
directors then constituting the whole Board.

      Section 4. Resignations and Removals.

            (a) Any director may resign at any time by delivering his written
resignation to the Secretary, such resignation to specify whether it will be
effective at a particular time, upon receipt by the Secretary or at the pleasure
of the Board of Directors. If no such specification is made it shall be deemed
effective at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. When one or more directors
shall resign from the Board, effective at a future date, a majority of the
directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power
to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such
resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen
shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the director whose
place shall be vacated and until his successor shall have been duly elected and
qualified.

            (b) At a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose in
the manner hereinabove provided, the Board of Directors, or any individual
director, may be removed from office, with or without cause, and a new director
or directors elected by a vote of stockholders holding a majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event this corporation is or becomes subject to the laws
of any jurisdiction imposing different or greater thresholds for the removal of
directors without cause and the election of replacement directors, a vote of the
stockholders complying with such different or higher standard shall be required
to remove and replace a director to the extent necessary to comply with such
laws.

      Section 5. Meetings.

            (a) The annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held
immediately after the annual stockholders' meeting and at the place where such
meeting is held or at the place announced by the Chairman at such meeting. No
notice of an annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be necessary and
such meeting shall be held for the purpose of electing officers and transacting
such other business as may lawfully come before it.

            (b) Except as hereinafter otherwise provided, regular meetings of
the Board of Directors shall be held in the office of the corporation required
to be maintained pursuant to Section 2 of Article I hereof. Regular meetings of
the Board of Directors may also be held at any place within or without the State
of Delaware which has been designated by resolutions of the Board of Directors
or the written consent of all directors.

            (c) Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at any
time and place within or without the State of Delaware whenever called by the
Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer,
President, or by a majority of the directors then in office.

            (d) Written notice of the time and place of all regular and special
meetings of the Board of Directors shall be delivered personally to each
director or sent by telegram or facsimile transmission at least 48 hours before
the start of the meeting, or sent by first class mail at least 120 hours before
the start of the meeting. Notice of any meeting may be waived in writing at any
time before or after the meeting and will be waived by any director by
attendance thereat.

      Section 6. Quorum and Voting.

            (a) A quorum of the Board of Directors shall consist of a majority
of the exact number of directors fixed from time to time in accordance with
Section I of Article III of these Bylaws, but not less than one; provided,
however, at any meeting whether a quorum be present or otherwise, a majority of
the directors present may adjourn from time to time until the time fixed for the
next regular meeting of the Board of Directors, without notice other than by
announcement at the meeting.

            (b) At each meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present all
questions and business shall be determined by a vote of a majority of the
directors present, unless a different vote be required by law, the Certificate
of Incorporation, or these Bylaws.

            (c) Any member of the Board of Directors, or of any committee
thereof, may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or
similar communication equipment by means of which all persons participating in
the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such means
shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

            (d) The transactions of any meeting of the Board of Directors, or
any committee thereof, however called or noticed, or wherever held, shall be as
valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a
quorum be present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the
directors not present shall sign a written waiver of notice, or a consent to
holding such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers,
consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part
of the minutes of the meeting.

                                       8
<PAGE>

      Section 7. Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted
to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof
may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or of such
committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and such writing or
writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

      Section 8. Fees and Compensation. Directors and members of committees may
receive such compensation, if any, for their services, and such reimbursement
for expenses, as may be fixed or determined by resolution of the Board of
Directors.

      Section 9. Committees.

            (a) Executive Committee: The Board of Directors may, by resolution
passed by a majority of the whole Board, appoint an Executive Committee of not
less than one member, each of whom shall be a director. The Executive Committee,
to the extent permitted by law, shall have and may exercise when the Board of
Directors is not in session all powers of the Board in the management of the
business and affairs of the corporation, including, without limitation, the
power and authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock,
except such committee shall not have the power or authority to amend the
Certificate of Incorporation, to adopt an agreement or merger or consolidation,
to recommend to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or
substantially all of the corporation's property and assets, to recommend to the
stockholders of the Corporation a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation
of a dissolution, or to amend these Bylaws.

            (b) Other Committees: The Board of Directors may, by resolution
passed by a majority of the whole Board, from time to time appoint such other
committees as may be permitted by law. Such other committees appointed by the
Board of Directors shall have such powers and perform such duties as may be
prescribed by the resolution or resolutions creating such committee, but in no
event shall any such committee have the powers denied to the Executive Committee
in these Bylaws.

            (c) Term: The members of all committees of the Board of Directors
shall serve a term coexistent with that of the Board of Directors which shall
have appointed such committee. The Board, subject to the provisions of
subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 9, may at any time increase or decrease
the number of members of a committee or terminate the existence of a committee;
provided, that no committee shall consist of less than one member. The
membership of a committee member shall terminate on the date of his death or
voluntary resignation, but the Board may at any time for any reason remove any
individual committee member and the Board may fill any committee vacancy created
by death, resignation, removal or increase in the number of members of the
committee. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as
alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified
member at any meeting of the committee, and, in addition, in the absence or
disqualification of any member of a committee, the member or members thereof
present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or
they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of
Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified
member.

            (d) Meetings: Unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise provide,
regular meetings of the Executive Committee or any other committee appointed
pursuant to this Section 9 shall be held at such times and places as are
determined by the Board of Directors, or by any such

                                       9
<PAGE>

committee, and when notice thereof has been given to each member of such
committee, no further notice of such regular meetings need be given thereafter;
special meetings of any such committee may be held at the principal office of
the corporation required to be maintained pursuant to Section 2 of Article I
hereof; or at any place which has been designated from time to time by
resolution of such committee or by written consent of all members thereof, and
may be called by any director who is a member of such committee, upon written
notice to the members of such committee of the time and place of such special
meeting given in the manner provided for the giving of written notice to members
of the Board of Directors of the time and place of special meetings of the Board
of Directors. Notice of any special meeting of any committee may be waived in
writing at any time after the meeting and will be waived by any director by
attendance thereat. A majority of the authorized number of members of any such
committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act
of a majority of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall
be the act of such committee.

      Section 10. Duties of the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Chairman
of the Board of Directors shall, when present, preside at all meetings of the
shareholders and the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board of Directors
shall perform such other duties and have such other powers as the Board of
Directors shall designate from time to time.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    Officers

      Section 1. Officers Designated. The officers of the corporation shall be a
President, and one or more Vice-Presidents, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. The
order of the seniority of the Vice Presidents shall be in the order of their
nomination, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors or the President may also appoint one or more assistant secretaries,
assistant treasurers, and such other officers and agents with such powers and
duties as it or he shall deem necessary. The Board of Directors may assign such
additional titles to one or more of the officers as they shall deem appropriate.
Any one person may hold any number of offices of the corporation at any one time
unless specifically prohibited therefrom by law. The salaries and other
compensation of the officers of the corporation shall be fixed by or in the
manner designated by the Board of Directors.

      Section 2. Tenure and Duties of Officers.

            (a) General: All officers shall hold office at the pleasure of the
Board of Directors and until their successors shall have been duly elected and
qualified, unless sooner removed. Any officer elected or appointed by the Board
of Directors may be removed at any time by the Board of Directors. If the office
of any officer becomes vacant for any reason, the vacancy may be filled by the
Board of Directors. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be construed as creating any
kind of contractual right to employment with the corporation.

            (b) Duties of President: The President shall be the chief executive
officer of the corporation and shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders
and at all meetings of the Board of Directors, unless the Chairman of the Board
of Directors has been appointed and is present. The President shall perform such

                     Execution of Corporate Instruments, and
                  Voting of Securities Owned by the Corporation

      Section 1. Execution of Corporate Instruments.

            (a) The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, determine the
method and designate the signatory officer or officers, or other person or
persons, to execute any corporate instrument or document, or to sign the
corporate name without limitation, except where otherwise provided by law, and
such execution or signature shall be binding upon the corporation.

            (b) Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Board of
Directors or otherwise required by law, formal contracts of the corporation,
promissory notes, deeds of trust, mortgages and other evidences of indebtedness
of the corporation, and other corporate instruments or documents requiring the
corporate seal, and certificates of shares of stock owned by the corporation,
shall be executed, signed or endorsed by the Chairman of the Board (if there be
such an officer appointed) or by the President; such documents may also be
executed by any Vice-President and by the Secretary or Treasurer or any
Assistant Secretary or Assistant Treasurer. All other instruments and documents
requiring the corporate signature, but not requiring the corporate seal, may be
executed as aforesaid or in such other manner as may be directed by the Board of
Directors.

                                       11
<PAGE>

            (c) All checks and drafts drawn on banks or other depositaries on
funds to the credit of the corporation, or in special accounts of the
corporation, shall be signed by such person or persons as the Board of Directors
shall authorize so to do.

      Section 2. Voting of Securities Owned by Corporation. All stock and other
securities of other corporations owned or held by the corporation for itself, or
for other parties in any capacity, shall be voted, and all proxies with respect
thereto shall be executed, by the person authorized so to do by resolution of
the Board of Directors or, in the absence of such authorization, by the Chairman
of the Board (if there be such an officer appointed), or by the President, or by
any Vice-President.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                Shares of Stock

      Section 1. Form and Execution of Certificates. Certificates for the shares
of stock of the corporation shall be in such form as is consistent with the
Certificate of incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock in the
corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of
the corporation by, the Chairman of the Board (if there be such an officer
appointed), or by the President or any Vice-President and by the Treasurer or
Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, certifying the
number of shares owned by him in the corporation. Any or all of the signatures
on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or
registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a
certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar
before such certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if
he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue. If the
corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more
than one series of any class, the powers, designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock
or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such
preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face
or back of the certificate which the corporation shall issue to represent such
class or series of stock, provided that, except as otherwise provided in section
202 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, in lieu of the foregoing
requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate
which the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, a
statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder
who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series
thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences
and/or rights.

      Section 2. Lost Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct a new
certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or
certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming
the certificate of stock to be lost or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of
a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion
and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such
lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to
indemnify the corporation in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the
corporation a surety bond in such form and amount as it may direct as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the
certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

                                       12
<PAGE>

      Section 3. Transfers. Transfers of record of shares of stock of the
corporation shall be made only upon its books by the holders thereof, in person
or by attorney duly authorized, and upon the surrender of a certificate or
certificates for a like number of shares, properly endorsed.

      Section 4. Fixing Record Dates.

            (a) In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any
adjournment thereof, 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 shall not be more
than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record
date is fixed by the Board of Directors, 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 day next
preceding the date on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders
of record entitled 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.

            (b) In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, 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 date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon
which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of
Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the
record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action
in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is
required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall be the first date on
which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be
taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in
Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the
corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of
stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a corporation's registered office
shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by
the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for determining
stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a
meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of
Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

            (c) In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment
of any rights or the stockholders 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, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such
action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders
for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the
Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

      Section 5. Registered Stockholders. The corporation shall be entitled to
recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner
of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and shall not be
bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in

                                       13
<PAGE>

such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall
have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws
of Delaware.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                       Other Securities of the Corporation

      All bonds, debentures and other corporate securities of the corporation,
other than stock certificates, may be signed by the Chairman of the Board (if
there be such an officer appointed), or the President or any Vice-President or
such other person as may be authorized by the Board of Directors and the
corporate seal impressed thereon or a facsimile of such seal imprinted thereon
and attested by the signature of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or the
Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer; provided, however, that where any such
bond, debenture or other corporate security shall be authenticated by the manual
signature of a trustee under an indenture pursuant to which such bond, debenture
or other corporate security shall be issued, the signature of the persons
signing and attesting the corporate seal on such bond, debenture or other
corporate security may be the imprinted facsimile of the signatures of such
persons. Interest coupons appertaining to any such bond, debenture or other
corporate security, authenticated by a trustee as aforesaid, shall be signed by
the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the corporation, or such other person
as may be authorized by the Board of Directors, or bear imprinted thereon the
facsimile signature of such person. In case any officer who shall have signed or
attested any bond, debenture or other corporate security, or whose facsimile
signature shall appear thereon or before the bond, debenture or other corporate
security so signed or attested shall have been delivered, such bond, debenture
or other corporate security nevertheless may be adopted by the corporation and
issued and delivered as though the person who signed the same or whose facsimile
signature shall have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer of the
corporation.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                 Corporate Seal

      The corporate seal shall consist of a die bearing the name of the
corporation and the state and date of its incorporation. Said seal may be used
by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or
otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                               Indemnification of
                   Officers, Directors, Employees and Agents

      Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (as a party, witness, or
otherwise), in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative
(hereinafter a "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom
he 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, or other enterprise, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of the Proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, or
agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer,

                                       14
<PAGE>

employee, or agent (hereafter an "Agent"), shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or
interpreted (but, in the case of any such amendment or interpretation, only to
the extent that such amendment or interpretation permits the corporation to
provide broader indemnification rights than were permitted prior thereto)
against all expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in
settlement, and any interest, assessments, or other charges imposed thereon, and
any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes imposed on any Agent as a result of
the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Article) reasonably
incurred or suffered by such person in connection with investigating, defending,
being a witness in, or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing for
any of the foregoing in, any Proceeding (hereinafter "Expenses"); provided,
however, that except as to actions to enforce indemnification rights pursuant to
Section 3 of this Article, the corporation shall indemnify any Agent seeking
indemnification in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by
such person only if the Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board
of Directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this
Article shall be a contract right.

      Section 2. Authority to Advance Expenses. Expenses incurred by an officer
or director (acting in his capacity as such) in defending a Proceeding shall be
paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding,
provided, however, that such Expenses shall be advanced only upon delivery to
the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to
repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled
to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article or otherwise.
Expenses incurred by other Agents of the corporation (or by the directors or
officers not acting in their capacity as such, including service with respect to
employee benefit plans) may be advanced upon such terms and conditions as the
Board of Directors deems appropriate. Any obligation to reimburse the
corporation for Expense advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be
charged thereon.

      Section 3. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 or
2 of this Article is not paid in full by the corporation within 60 days after a
written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time
thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of
the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled
to be paid also the expense (including attorneys' fees) of prosecuting such
claim. The burden of proof of such proceeding shall be on the claimant to
establish that he is entitled to be indemnified under this Article. It shall be
a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim
for expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the corporation)
that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible
under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the
claimant for the amount claimed. The burden of proving such a defense shall be
on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board
of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of
the claimant is proper under the circumstances because he has met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an
actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant had not met
such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create
a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

      Section 4. Provisions Nonexclusive. The rights conferred on any person by
this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such person may
have or hereafter acquire under any

                                       15
<PAGE>

statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in an
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office. To the extent that any provision of the Certificate, agreement, or vote
of the stockholders or disinterested directors is inconsistent with these
bylaws, the provision, agreement, or vote shall take precedence.

      Section 5. Authority to Insure. The corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance to protect itself and any Agent against any Expense, whether or not
the corporation would have the power to indemnify the Agent against such Expense
under applicable law or the provisions of this Article.

      Section 6. Survival of Rights. The rights provided by this Article shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be an Agent and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

      Section 7. Settlement of Claims. The corporation shall not be liable to
indemnify any Agent under this Article (a) for any amounts paid in settlement of
any action or claim effected without the corporation's written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (b) for any judicial award if the
corporation was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense,
to participate in the defense of such action.

      Section 8. Effect of Amendment. Any amendment, repeal, or modification of
this Article shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any Agent
existing at the time of such amendment, repeal, or modification.

      Section 9. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Article, the
corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of the Agent, who shall execute all papers required and shall
do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the
execution of such documents necessary to enable the corporation effectively to
bring suit to enforce such rights.

      Section 10. No Duplication of Payments. The corporation shall not be
liable under this Article to make any payment in connection with any claim made
against the Agent to the extent the Agent has otherwise actually received
payment (under any insurance policy, agreement, vote, or otherwise) of the
amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                     Notices

      Whenever, under any provisions of these Bylaws, notice is required to be
given to any stockholder, the same shall be given in writing, timely and duly
deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to his last
known post office address as shown by the stock record of the corporation or its
transfer agent. Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by
the method hereinabove stated, or by telegram or other means of electronic
transmission, except that such notice other than one which is delivered
personally, shall be sent to such address or (in the case of facsimile
telecommunication) facsimile telephone number as such director shall have filed
in writing with the Secretary of the corporation, or, in the absence of such
filing, to the last known post office address of such director. If no address of
a stockholder or director be known, such notice may

                                       16
<PAGE>

be sent to the office of the corporation required to be maintained pursuant to
Section 2 of Article I hereof. An affidavit of mailing, executed by a duly
authorized and competent employee of the corporation or its transfer agent
appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, specifying the name and
address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, director
or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and the time
and method of giving the same, shall be conclusive evidence of the statements
therein contained. All notices given by mail, as above provided, shall be deemed
to have been given as at the time of mailing and all notices given by telegram
or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been given as
at the sending time recorded by the telegraph company or other electronic
transmission equipment operator transmitting the same. It shall not be necessary
that the same method of giving be employed in respect of all directors, but one
permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other
permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others.
The period or limitation of time within which any stockholder may exercise any
option or right, or enjoy any privilege or benefit, or be required to act, or
within which any director may exercise any power or right, or enjoy any
privilege, pursuant to any notice sent him in the manner above provided, shall
not be affected or extended in any manner by the failure of such a stockholder
or such director to receive such notice. Whenever any notice is required to be
given under the provisions of the statutes or of the Certificate of
Incorporation, or of these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the
person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time
stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. Whenever notice is required
to be given, under any provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation
or Bylaws of the corporation, to any person with whom communication is unlawful,
the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall
be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or
permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be
taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is
unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly
given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to
require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice
is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice
except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                   Amendments

      These Bylaws may be repealed, altered or amended or new Bylaws adopted by
written consent of stockholders in the manner authorized by Section 8 of Article
II, or at any meeting of the stockholders, either annual or special, by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the stock entitled to vote at such meeting.
The Board of Directors shall also have the authority to repeal, alter or amend
these Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws (including, without limitation, the amendment
of any Bylaws setting forth the number of directors who shall constitute the
whole Board of Directors) by unanimous written consent or at any annual,
regular, or special meeting by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole
number of directors, subject to the power of the stockholders to change or
repeal such Bylaws and provided that the Board of Directors shall not make or
alter any Bylaws fixing the qualifications, classifications, or term of office
of directors.
