                                PC HOLDCO, INC.

by the Corporation is as follows:

     To engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be
organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

     FOURTH.  The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the

(i) 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share ("Common
Stock"), and (ii) 7,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share
("Preferred Stock"), which may be issued from time to time in one or more series
as set forth in Part B of this Article FOURTH.

     The following is a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges
and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in
respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation.

A.   COMMON STOCK.
     ------------

     1.   General.  The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders
          -------
of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of
the Preferred Stock of any series as may be designated by the Board of Directors
upon any issuance of the Preferred Stock of any series.

     2.   Voting.  The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for
          ------
each share held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of
meetings).  There shall be no cumulative voting.
<PAGE>

     The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or
decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware.

     3.   Dividends.  Dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock
          ---------
from funds lawfully available therefor as and when determined by the Board of
Directors and subject to any preferential dividend rights of any then
outstanding Preferred Stock.

     4.   Liquidation.  Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation,
          -----------
whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to
receive all assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders, subject to any preferential rights of any then outstanding
Preferred Stock.

B.   PREFERRED STOCK.
     ---------------

     Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each
of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the
resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation as hereinafter provided by the affirmative
vote of all of the directors then in office.  Any shares of Preferred Stock
which may be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Corporation may be reissued
except as otherwise provided by law.  Different series of Preferred Stock shall
not be construed to constitute different classes of shares for the purposes of
voting by classes unless expressly provided.

     Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors from time
to time to, by the affirmative vote of all of the directors then in office, to
issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in connection with the
creation of any such series, by resolution or resolutions providing for the
issue of the shares thereof, to determine and fix such voting powers, full or
limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative
participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations
or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights,
conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall
be stated and expressed in such resolutions, all to the full extent now or
hereafter permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the resolutions providing for issuance of any
series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank
equally or be junior to the Preferred Stock of any other series to the extent
permitted by law.  Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of
Incorporation, no vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock
shall be a prerequisite to the designation or issuance of any shares of any
series of the Preferred Stock authorized by and complying with the conditions of
this Certificate of Incorporation, the

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

right to have such vote being expressly waived by all present and future holders
of the capital stock of the Corporation.

     FIFTH. The Corporation shall have a perpetual existence.

     SIXTH. In furtherance of and not in limitation of powers conferred by
statute, it is further provided:

          1.   Election of directors need not be by written ballot.

          2.   The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to alter, amend or
repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation or adopt new bylaws by the affirmative vote
of all of the directors then in office.

     SEVENTH. Except to the extent that the General Corporation Law of Delaware
prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches
of fiduciary duty, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to
the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such
liability.  No amendment to or repeal of this provision shall apply to or have
any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the
Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director
occurring prior to such amendment.

     EIGHTH.

     1.   Actions, Suits and Proceedings Other than by or in the Right of the
          -------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporation.  The Corporation shall indemnify each person who was or is a party
-----------
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), by
reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or
officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the
request of the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a
similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being
referred to hereafter as an "Indemnitee"), or by reason of any action alleged to
have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit
or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a
plea of nolo contendere
        ---------------

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person
did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in,
or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article,
except as set forth in Section 7 below, the Corporation shall not indemnify an
Indemnitee seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Article, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee to
the extent such Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in
the event the Corporation makes any indemnification payments to an Indemnitee
and such Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance,
such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to the
Corporation to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.

     2.   Actions or Suits by or in the Right of the Corporation.  The
          ------------------------------------------------------
Corporation shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or
officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the
request of the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a
similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of any
action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all
expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, to the extent permitted by law,
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his
behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal
therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but
in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses (including attorneys' fees)
which the Court of Chancery of Delaware shall deem proper.

     3.   Indemnification for Expenses of Successful Party.  Notwithstanding the
          ------------------------------------------------
other provisions of this Article, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such action, suit or
proceeding, he shall be indemnified against all expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection
therewith.  Without limiting the foregoing, if any action, suit or proceeding is
disposed of,

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without
(i) the disposition being adverse to the Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that
the Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo
                                                                        ----
contendere by the Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that the Indemnitee did not
----------
act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal
proceeding, an adjudication that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful, the Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes
hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto.

     4.   Notification and Defense of Claim.  As a condition precedent to his
          ---------------------------------
right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee must notify the Corporation in writing
as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation
involving him for which indemnity will or could be sought.  With respect to any
action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation is so
notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own
expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.  After notice from the
Corporation to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the
Corporation shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such claim,
other than as provided below in this Section 4.  The Indemnitee shall have the
right to employ his own counsel in connection with such claim, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its
assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee
unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by
the Corporation, (ii) counsel to the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue
between the Corporation and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such
action or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to
assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses
of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except
as otherwise expressly provided by this Article.  The Corporation shall not be
entitled, without the consent of the Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any
claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for
the Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause
(ii) above.

     5.   Advance of Expenses.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6 below, in
          -------------------
the event that the Corporation does not assume the defense pursuant to Section 4
of this Article of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the
Corporation receives notice under this Article, any expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall be paid
by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter; provided,
                                                                       --------
however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in advance
-------
of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced
in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article.
Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of
the Indemnitee to make such repayment.

     6.   Procedure for Indemnification.  In order to obtain indemnification or
          -----------------------------
advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 1, 2, 3 or 5 of this Article, the
Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including in such
request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the
Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent
the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses.  Any
such indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be made promptly, and in
any event within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request
of the Indemnitee, unless with respect to requests under Section 1, 2 or 5 the
Corporation determines within such 60-day period that the Indemnitee did not
meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2, as the case
may be.  Such determination shall be made in each instance by (a) a majority
vote of the directors of the Corporation consisting of persons who are not at
that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question ("disinterested
directors"), whether or not a quorum, (b) a majority vote of a quorum of the
outstanding shares of stock of all classes entitled to vote for directors,
voting as a single class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not
at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question, (c)
independent legal counsel (who may, to the extent permitted by law, be regular
legal counsel to the Corporation), or (d) a court of competent jurisdiction.

     7.   Remedies.  The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this
          --------
Article shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent
jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or if
no disposition thereof is made within the 60-day period referred to above in
Section 6.  Unless otherwise required by law, the burden of proving that the
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under
this Article shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the
Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the
Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6 that the Indemnitee has
not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or
create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of
conduct.  The Indemnitee's expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in
connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole
or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

     8.   Subsequent Amendment.  No amendment, termination or repeal of this
          --------------------
Article or of the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware
or any

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

other applicable laws shall affect or diminish in any way the rights of any
Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to any
action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any
actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such
amendment, termination or repeal.

     9.   Other Rights.  The indemnification and advancement of expenses
          ------------
provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which an Indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement or vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official
capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding office for the
Corporation, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a
director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs,
executors and administrators of the Indemnitee.  Nothing contained in this
Article shall be deemed to prohibit, and the Corporation is specifically
authorized to enter into, agreements with officers and directors providing
indemnification rights and procedures different from those set forth in this
Article.  In addition, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time
to time by its Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to other
employees or agents of the Corporation or other persons serving the Corporation
and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those set forth
in this Article.

     10.  Partial Indemnification.  If an Indemnitee is entitled under any
          -----------------------
provision of this Article to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a
portion of the expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines or amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in
connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation and any appeal
therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall
nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to
which the Indemnitee is entitled.

     11.  Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at
          ---------
its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) against any expense,
liability or loss incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his
status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify
such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General
Corporation Law of Delaware.

     12.  Merger or Consolidation.  If the Corporation is merged into or
          -----------------------
consolidated with another corporation and the Corporation is not the surviving
corporation, the surviving corporation shall assume the obligations of the
Corporation under this Article with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation arising out of or relating to any

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the date of such merger or
consolidation.

     13.  Savings Clause.  If this Article or any portion hereof shall be
          --------------
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to any expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil,
criminal or administrative, including an action by or in the right of the
Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this
Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law.

     14.  Definitions.  Terms used herein and defined in Section 145(h) and
          -----------
Section 145(i) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall have the
respective meanings assigned to such terms in such Section 145(h) and Section
145(i).

     15.  Subsequent Legislation.  If the General Corporation Law of Delaware is
          ----------------------
amended after adoption of this Article to expand further the indemnification
permitted to Indemnitees, then the Corporation shall indemnify such persons to
the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as so
amended.

     NINTH. This Article is inserted for the management of the business and for
the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation.

     1.   Number of Directors.  The number of directors of the Corporation shall
          -------------------
not be less than one.  The exact number of directors within the limitations
specified in the preceding sentence shall be fixed from time to time by, or in
the manner provided in, the Corporation's Bylaws.

     2.   Election of Directors.  Elections of directors need not be by written
          ---------------------
ballot except as and to the extent provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

     3.   Quorum; Action at Meeting.  A majority of the total number of the
          -------------------------
whole Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business. In the event one or more of the directors shall be disqualified to
vote at any meeting, then the required quorum shall be reduced by one for each
director so disqualified; provided, however, that in no case shall less than
one-third (1/3) of the number of directors fixed pursuant to Section 1 above
constitute a quorum.  If at any meeting of the Board of Directors there shall be
less than such a quorum, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting
from time to time without further notice other than announcement at the meeting,
until a quorum shall be present.  At any meeting of the Board of Directors at
which a quorum is present, the vote of a majority of those present shall be
sufficient to take any action, unless a

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

different vote is specified by law, by the Bylaws of the Corporation or by this
Certificate of Incorporation.

     4.   Removal.  Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law
          -------
of Delaware, any one or more or all of the directors of the Corporation may be
removed with or without cause by the holders of a majority of the shares then
entitled to vote at an election of directors, except that the directors elected
by the holders of a particular class or series of stock may be removed without
cause only by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
such class or series.

     5.   Vacancies.  Any vacancy in the Board of Directors, however occurring,
          ---------
including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of the board, may be filled by
vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum,
or by a sole remaining director.  A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be
elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office, and a director
chosen to fill a position resulting from an increase in the number of directors
shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his
successor is elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or
removal.

     6.   Stockholder Nominations and Introduction of Business, Etc.  Advance
          ----------------------------------------------------------
notice of stockholder nominations for election of directors and other business
to be brought by stockholders before a meeting of stockholders shall be given in
the manner provided by the Bylaws of the Corporation.

     TENTH.   Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the
Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the
Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable
jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary
way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof, or on the
application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the
provisions of Section 291 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or on the
application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed
for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware order a meeting of the creditors or class of
creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the
Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as such court
directs.  If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the
creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of
stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or
arrangement and to any promise or arrangement, such compromise or arrangement
and such reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which application
has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on
all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case
may be, and also on the Corporation.

                                      -9-

     ELEVENTH. The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or
repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the
manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute and this Certificate of
Incorporation, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted
subject to this reservation.

     TWELFTH. Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as it may
be amended from time to time, shall apply to the Corporation.

                             ------------------------

     1.1       Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at
               -----------------
such place within or without the State of Delaware as may be designated from
time to time by the Chairman of the Board (or, if there be no Chairman of the
Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board, or if there be no Chairman and no Vice
Chairman of the Board, the Board of Directors) or, if not so designated, at the
registered office of the corporation.

     1.2       Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of stockholders for the
               --------------
election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may
properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on a date to be fixed by
the Chairman of the Board (or, if there be no Chairman of the Board, the Vice
Chairman of the Board, or if there be no Chairman and no Vice Chairman of the
Board, the Board of Directors) (which date shall not be a legal holiday in the
place where the meeting is to be held) at the time and place to be fixed by the
Chairman of the Board (or, if there be no Chairman of the Board, the Vice
Chairman of the Board, or if there be no Chairman and no Vice Chairman of the
Board, the Board of Directors) and stated in the notice of the meeting. If no
annual meeting is held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Chairman
of the Board, Vice Chairman of the Board or the Board of Directors shall cause
the meeting to be held as soon thereafter as convenient. If no annual meeting is
held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, a special meeting may be held
in lieu of the annual meeting, and any action taken at that special meeting
shall have the same effect as if it had been taken at the annual meeting, and in
such case all references in these Bylaws to the annual meeting of the
stockholders shall be deemed to refer to such special meeting.

     1.3       Special Meetings.  Special meetings of stockholders may be
               ----------------
called at any time by the Chairman of the Board (or, if there be no Chairman of
the Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board), by the Board of Directors or by the
holders of forty percent (40%) or more of the shares of the capital stock of the
corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at such meeting.
Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to
matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

given not less than

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder
entitled to vote at such meeting. The notices of all meetings shall state the
place, date and hour of the meeting. The notice of a special meeting shall
state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If

stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.
Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose
germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least
10 days prior to the meeting, at a place within the city where the meeting is to
be held.  The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the
meeting during the whole time of the meeting, and may be inspected by any
stockholder who is present.

     1.6       Quorum.  Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of
               ------
Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the shares of the
capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at
the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business.

     1.7       Adjournments.  Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned to
               ------------
any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be
held under these Bylaws by the stockholders present or represented at the
meeting and entitled to vote, although less than a quorum, or, if no stockholder
is present, by any officer entitled to preside at or to act as Secretary of such
meeting. It shall not be necessary to notify any stockholder of any adjournment
of less than 30 days if the time and place of the adjourned meeting are
announced at the meeting at which adjournment is taken, unless after the
adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the
adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have
been transacted at the original meeting.

     1.8       Voting and Proxies.  Each stockholder shall have one vote for
               ------------------
each share of stock entitled to vote held of record by such stockholder and a
proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided
in the Certificate of Incorporation.  Each stockholder of record entitled to
vote at a meeting of stockholders, or to express consent or dissent to corporate
action in writing without a meeting, may vote or express such consent or dissent
in person or may authorize another person or persons to vote or act for her/him
by written proxy executed by the stockholder or

                                      -2-

her/his authorized agent and delivered to the Secretary of the corporation. No
such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from the date of its
execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period.

     1.9       Action at Meeting.  When a quorum is present at any meeting, the
               -----------------
holders of shares of stock representing a majority of the votes cast on a matter
(or if there are two or more classes of stock entitled to vote as separate
classes, then in the case of each such class, the holders of shares of stock of
that class representing a majority of the votes cast on a matter) shall decide
any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders at such meeting, except when a
different vote is required by express provision of law, the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws.  When a quorum is present at any meeting, any
election by stockholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast on
the election.

     1.10      Action without Meeting.  Any action required or permitted to be
               ----------------------
taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation may be
taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent
in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is 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 on such action were present and voted. Prompt notice of the
taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written
consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

     1.11      Nomination of Directors.  Only persons who are nominated in
               -----------------------
accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as
directors. Nomination for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation
at a meeting of stockholders may be made by the Board of Directors or by any
stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at
such meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section
1.11. Such nominations, other than those made by or on behalf of the Board of
Directors or by or on behalf of the holders of forty percent (40%) or more of
the shares of the capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote with respect to the election of directors, shall be made by
notice in writing delivered or mailed by first class United States mail, postage
prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation, and received not less than 60 days
nor more than 90 days prior to such meeting; provided, however, that if less
than 70 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is
given or made to stockholders, such nomination shall have been mailed or
delivered to the Secretary not later than the close of business on the 10th day
following the date on which the notice of the meeting was mailed or public
disclosure was made, whichever occurs first. Such notice shall set forth (a) as
to each proposed nominee (i) the name, age, business address and, if known,
residence address of each such nominee, (ii) the principal occupation or

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

Corporation which are beneficially owned by each such nominee, and (iv) any
other information concerning the nominee that must be disclosed as to nominees
in proxy solicitations pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (including such person's written consent to be named as
a nominee and to serve as a director if elected); (b) as to the stockholder or
stockholders giving the notice (i) the name and address, as they appear on the
Corporation's books, of such stockholder or stockholders, and (ii) the class and
number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such
stockholder or stockholders; and (c) as to the beneficial owner or owners, if
any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, (i) the name and address of such
person or persons and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation
which are beneficially owned by such person or persons.

     The officer presiding at a meeting of stockholders may, if the facts
warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in
accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if s/he should so determine, s/he
shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be
disregarded.

     Nothing in the foregoing provision shall obligate the Corporation or the
Board of Directors to include in any proxy statement or other stockholder
communication distributed on behalf of the Corporation or the Board of Directors
information with respect to any nominee for directors submitted by a
stockholder.

     1.12      Notice of Business at Meetings.  At a meeting of the
               ------------------------------
stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been (a)
specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (b) brought
before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the
holders of forty percent (40%) or more of the shares of the capital stock of the
corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote with respect to such
matter, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder.
For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder
who holds or stockholders who hold less than forty percent (40%) of the shares
of capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote
with respect to such matter, if such business relates to the election of
directors of the Corporation, the procedures in Section 1.11 must be complied
with. For business to be properly brought before a special meeting by a
stockholder who holds or stockholders who hold less than forty percent (40%) of
the shares of capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote with respect to such matter, and for business other than the
election of directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a
stockholder who holds or stockholders who hold less than forty percent (40%) of
the shares of capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote with respect to such matter, such stockholder or stockholders
must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the
Corporation. To be timely,

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 60 days nor more
than 90 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that if less than 70 days'
notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to
stockholders, notice by the stockholder or stockholders to be timely must be
delivered or mailed to the Secretary not later than the close of business on the
10th day following the date on which the notice of the meeting was mailed or
public disclosure was made, whichever occurs first. A stockholder's notice to
the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to
bring before the meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be
brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the
meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of
the stockholder or stockholders proposing such business, and the name and
address of the beneficial owner or owners, if any, on whose behalf the proposal
is made, (c) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are
beneficially owned by such stockholder or stockholders and such person or
persons, if any, and (d) any material interest of the stockholder or
stockholders, and such person or persons, if any, in such business.
Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be
conducted at any meeting of stockholders except in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 1.12 and except that any stockholder
proposal which complies with Rule 14a-8 of the proxy rules (or any successor
provision) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and is to be included in the Corporation's proxy statement for an annual meeting
of stockholders shall be deemed to comply with the requirements of this Section
1.12.

     The officer presiding at a meeting of stockholders 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 10,
and if s/he should so determine, s/he shall do declare to the meeting that any
such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

               --------------

exercise all of the powers of the corporation except as otherwise provided by

of Directors, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, may
exercise the powers of the full Board until the vacancy is filled.

     2.2       Number; Election and Qualification.  The number of directors

be less than one nor more

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

than seven. The number of directors may be decreased at any time and from time
to time either by the stockholders or by a majority of the directors then in
office, but only to eliminate vacancies existing by reason of the death,
resignation, removal or expiration of the term of one or more directors. The
directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders by such
stockholders as have the right to vote on such election. Directors need not be
stockholders of the corporation.

     2.3       Enlargement of the Board.  Subject to Section 2.2, the number of
               ------------------------
directors may be increased at any time and from time to time by the stockholders
or by a majority of the directors then in office.

     2.4       Tenure.  Each director shall hold office until the next annual
               ------
meeting and until her/his successor is elected and qualified, or until her/his
earlier death, resignation or removal.

     2.5       Vacancies.  Unless and until filled by the stockholders, any
               ---------
vacancy in the Board of Directors, however occurring, including a vacancy
resulting from an enlargement of the Board, may be filled by vote of a majority
of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole
remaining director. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for
the unexpired term of her/his predecessor in office, and a director chosen to
fill a position resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold
office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until her/his successor
is elected and qualified, or until her/his earlier death, resignation or
removal.

     2.6       Resignation.  Any director may resign by delivering her/his
