OMEGA (KANSAS), INC.

a Kansas Corporation

PREAMBLE

        These bylaws are subject to, and governed by, the Kansas General Corporation Code (the "Code") and the articles of incorporation of Omega (Kansas), Inc. (the "Corporation"). In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of these bylaws and the mandatory provisions of the Code or the provisions of the articles of incorporation of the Corporation, such provisions of the Code or the articles of incorporation of the Corporation, as the case may be, will be controlling.

ARTICLE ONE:
OFFICES

        1.01    Registered Office and Agent.    The registered office and registered agent of the Corporation shall be as designated from time to time by the appropriate filing by the Corporation in the office of the Secretary of State of Kansas.

        1.02    Other Offices.    The Corporation may also have offices at such other places, both within and without the State of Kansas, as the board of directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

ARTICLE TWO:
SHAREHOLDERS

        2.01    Annual Meetings.    An annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation shall be held during each calendar year on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the board of directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, if not a legal holiday in the place where the meeting is to be held, and, if a legal holiday in such place, then on the next business day following, at the time specified in the notice of the meeting. At such meeting, the shareholders shall elect directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

        2.02    Special Meetings.    A special meeting of the shareholders may be called at any time by the president, the board of directors, or the holders of not less than ten percent of all shares entitled to vote at such meeting. Only business within the purpose or purposes described in the notice of special meeting may be conducted at such special meeting.

        2.03    Place of Meetings.    The annual meeting of shareholders may be held at any place within or without the State of Kansas designated by the board of directors. Special meetings of shareholders may be held at any place within or without the State of Kansas designated by the person or persons calling such special meeting as provided in Section 2.02 above. Meetings of shareholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation unless another place is designated for meetings in the manner provided herein.

        2.04    Notice.    Except as otherwise provided by law, written or printed notice stating the place, day, and hour of each meeting of the shareholders and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting by or at the direction of the president, the secretary, or the person calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

        2.05    Voting List.    At least ten days before each meeting of shareholders, the secretary shall prepare a complete list of shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, including the address of each shareholder and the number of voting shares held by each shareholder. For a period of ten days prior to such meeting, such list shall be kept on file at the registered office or

principal place of business of the Corporation and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder during usual business hours. Such list shall be produced at such meeting, and at all times during such meeting shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder. The original share transfer records shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list.

        2.06    Voting of Shares.    Shares of the Corporation's own stock owned by the Corporation or by another domestic or foreign corporation or other entity, if a majority of the voting stock or voting interest of the other corporation or other entity is owned or controlled by the Corporation, shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time. This shall not be construed as limiting the right of the Corporation or any domestic or foreign corporation or other entity to vote stock, including its own stock, held or controlled by it in a fiduciary capacity or with respect to which it otherwise exercises voting power in a fiduciary capacity. Shares standing in the name of another domestic or foreign corporation of any type or kind may be voted by such officer, agent, or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may authorize or, in the absence of such authorization, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator may be voted by such person, either in person or by proxy, without transfer of such shares into such person's name so long as such shares form a part of the estate served by such person and are in the possession of such estate. Shares held by a trustee may be voted by the trustee, either in person or by proxy, only after the shares have been transferred into the trustee's name as trustee. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without transfer of such shares into the receiver's name if authority to do so is contained in the court order by which such receiver was appointed. A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until they have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter, the pledgee shall be entitled to vote such shares.

        2.07    Quorum; Withdrawal of Quorum.    A quorum shall be present at a meeting of shareholders if the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy, except as otherwise provided by law or the articles of incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of shareholders, the shareholders represented in person or by proxy at such meeting may adjourn the meeting until such time and to such place as may be determined by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy at that meeting. Once a quorum is present at a meeting of shareholders, the shareholders represented in person or by proxy at the meeting may conduct such business as may be properly brought before the meeting until it is adjourned, and the subsequent withdrawal from the meeting of any shareholder or the refusal of any shareholder represented in person or by proxy to vote shall not affect the presence of a quorum at the meeting.

        2.08    Vote Required.    Directors of the Corporation shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Corporation at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present. Except as otherwise provided by law, the articles of incorporation, or these bylaws, with respect to any matter, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Corporation's shares entitled to vote on and that voted for or against or expressly abstained with respect to that matter at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the shareholders.

        2.09    Method of Voting; Proxies.    Every shareholder of record shall be entitled at every meeting of shareholders to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote, for every share standing in such shareholder's name on the original share transfer records of the Corporation except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any class or classes are increased, limited, or denied by the articles of incorporation. Such share transfer records shall be prima facie evidence as to the identity of shareholders entitled to vote. At any meeting of shareholders, every shareholder having the right to vote may vote either in person or by a proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by such

2

shareholder's duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Each such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the Corporation before, or at the time of, the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. If no date is stated on a proxy, such proxy shall be presumed to have been executed on the date of the meeting at which it is to be voted. Each proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest.

        2.10    Closing of Transfer Records; Record Date.    For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive a distribution (other than a distribution involving a purchase or redemption by the Corporation of any of its own shares) or a share dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose (other than determining shareholders entitled to consent to action by shareholders proposed to be taken without a meeting of shareholders), the board of directors may provide that the share transfer records of the Corporation shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed in any event sixty days. If the share transfer records are closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of shareholders, such records shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the share transfer records, the board of directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than sixty days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. If the share transfer records are not closed and if no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of shareholders or entitled to receive a distribution (other than a distribution involving a purchase or redemption by the Corporation of any of its own shares) or a share dividend, the date on which the notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the board of directors declaring such distribution or share dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section 2.10, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof except where the determination has been made through the closing of the share transfer records and the stated period of closing has expired.

        2.11    Officers Duties at Meetings.    The president shall preside at, and the secretary shall prepare minutes of, each meeting of shareholders, and in the absence of either such officer, such officer's duties shall be performed by some person or persons elected by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy.

        2.12    Action Without Meeting.    Any action that may be taken, or that is required by law or the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation to be taken, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders, 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, shall have been signed by the holder or holders of shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which the holders of all shares entitled to vote on the action were present and voted. The signed consent or consents of shareholders shall be placed in the minute books of the Corporation. The record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to consent to any action pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be determined in accordance with Article 17-6501 of the Code.

ARTICLE THREE:
DIRECTORS

        3.01    Management.    The powers of the Corporation shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of, the board of directors.

3

        3.02    Number; Election; Term; Qualification.    The number of directors that shall constitute the board of directors shall be not less than one. The first board of directors shall consist of the number of directors named in the articles of incorporation. Thereafter, the number of directors that shall constitute the entire board of directors shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors at any meeting thereof or by the shareholders at any meeting thereof, but shall never be less than one. At each annual meeting of shareholders, directors shall be elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. No director need be a shareholder, a resident of the State of Kansas, or a citizen of the United States.

        3.03    Changes in Number.    No decrease in the number of directors constituting the entire board of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors may be filled by (a) the shareholders at any annual or special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose or (b) the board of directors for a term of office continuing only until the next election of one or more directors by the shareholders; provided that the board of directors may not fill more than two such directorships during the period between any two successive annual meetings of shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any class or series of shares are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the articles of incorporation, any newly created directorship(s) of such class or series to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of such directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors elected by such class or series then in office or by a sole remaining director so elected or by the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of such class or series, and such directorship(s) shall not in any case be filled by the vote of the remaining directors or by the holders of the outstanding shares of the Corporation as a whole unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation.

        3.04    Removal.    At any meeting of shareholders called expressly for that purpose, any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote on the election of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any class or series of shares are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the articles of incorporation, only the holders of shares of that class or series shall be entitled to vote for or against the removal of any director elected by the holders of shares of that class or series.

        3.05    Vacancies.    Any vacancy occurring in the initial board of directors before the issuance of shares may be filled by the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the incorporators or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the board of directors. Any vacancy occurring in the board of directors after the issuance of shares may be filled by (a) the shareholders at any annual or special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose or (b) the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the board of directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected to serve for the unexpired term of such director's predecessor in office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any class or series of shares are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the articles of incorporation, any vacancies in such directorship(s) may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors elected by such class or series then in office or by a sole remaining director so elected or by the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of such class or series, and such directorship(s) shall not in any case be filled by the vote of the remaining directors or the holders of the outstanding shares of the Corporation as a whole unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation.

        3.06    Place of Meetings.    Except as otherwise set forth in these bylaws, the board of directors may hold its meetings in such place or places within or without the State of Kansas as the person or persons calling the meeting in accordance with these bylaws may determine.

4

        3.07    First Meeting.    Each newly elected board of directors may hold its first meeting for the purpose of organization and the transaction of business, if a quorum is present, immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of shareholders, and notice of such meeting shall not be necessary.

        3.08    Regular Meetings.    Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without notice at such times and places as may be designated from time to time by resolution of the board of directors and communicated to all directors.

        3.09    Special Meetings; Notice.    Special meetings of the board of directors shall be held whenever called by the president or by any director. The person calling any special meeting shall cause notice of such special meeting, including therein the time and place of such special meeting, to be given to each director at least two days before such special meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any special meeting of the board of directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of any special meeting.

        3.10    Quorum; Majority Vote.    At all meetings of the board of directors, a majority of the number of directors fixed in the manner provided in these bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than an announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. The act of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is in attendance shall be the act of the board of directors, unless the act of a greater number is required by law, the articles of incorporation, or these bylaws.

        3.11    Procedure; Minutes.    At meetings of the board of directors, business shall be transacted in such order as the board of directors may determine from time to time. The board of directors shall appoint at each meeting a person to preside at the meeting and a person to act as secretary of the meeting. The secretary of the meeting shall prepare minutes of the meeting, which shall be delivered to the secretary of the Corporation for placement in the minute books of the Corporation.

        3.12    Presumption of Assent.    A director of the Corporation who is present at any meeting of the board of directors at which action on any matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action unless such director's dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless such director shall file a written dissent to such action with the person acting as secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward any dissent by certified or registered mail to the secretary of the Corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.

        3.13    Compensation.    Directors, in their capacity as directors, may receive, by resolution of the board of directors, a fixed sum and expenses of attendance, if any, for attending meetings of the board of directors or a stated salary. No director shall be precluded from serving the Corporation in any other capacity or receiving compensation therefor.

        3.14    Action Without Meeting.    Any action that may be taken, or that is required by law, the articles of incorporation, or these bylaws to be taken, at a meeting of the board of directors or any committee may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall have been signed by all of the members of the board of directors or committee, as the case may be, in accordance with Article 17-6302 of the Code, and such consent shall have the same force and effect, as of the date stated therein, as a unanimous vote of such members of the board of directors or committee, as the case may be, and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Kansas or in any certificate or other document delivered to any person. The consent may be in one or more counterparts so long as each director or committee member signs one of the counterparts. The signed consent shall be placed in the minute books of the Corporation.

The number of committee members may be increased or decreased from time to time by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire board of directors. Each committee member shall serve as such until the earliest of (a) the expiration of such member's term as director, (b) such member's resignation as a committee member or as a director, or (c) such member's removal, as a committee member or as a director.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no committee shall have the authority of the board of directors in reference to:

        4.07    Quorum; Majority Vote.    At meetings of any committee, a majority of the number of members designated by the board of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

ARTICLE FIVE:
GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO MEETINGS

        5.01    Notice.    Whenever by law, the articles of incorporation, or these bylaws, notice is required to be given to any committee member, director, or shareholder and no provision is made as to how such notice shall be given, it shall be construed to mean that any such notice may be given (a) in person, (b) in writing, by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such committee member, director, or shareholder at such person's address as it appears on the books of the Corporation or, in the case of a shareholder, the share transfer records of the Corporation, or (c) by any other method permitted by law. Any notice required or permitted to be given by mail shall be deemed to be delivered and given at the time when the same is deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed as aforesaid.

        5.02    Waiver of Notice.    Whenever by law, the articles of incorporation, or these bylaws, any notice is required to be given to any committee member, shareholder, or director of the Corporation, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time notice should have been given, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance of a committee member, shareholder, or director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such person attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

        5.03    Telephone and Similar Meetings.    Shareholders, directors, or committee members may participate in and hold a meeting by means of a conference telephone or similar communications

7

equipment by means of which persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.

The board of directors shall elect a president and secretary at its first meeting at which a quorum shall be present after the annual meeting of shareholders or whenever a vacancy exists. The board of directors then, or from time to time, may also elect or appoint one or more other officers or agents as it shall deem advisable. Each officer and agent shall hold office for the term for which such person is elected or appointed and until such person's successor has been elected or appointed and qualified. Any person may hold any number of offices. No officer or agent need be a shareholder, a director, a resident of the State of Kansas, or a citizen of the United States.

        6.02    Removal.    Any officer or agent elected or appointed by the board of directors may be removed by the board of directors whenever in its judgment the best interest of the Corporation will be served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Election or appointment of an officer or agent shall not of itself create contract rights.

        6.03    Vacancies.    Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Corporation may be filled by the board of directors.

        6.04    Authority.    Officers shall have such authority and perform such duties in the management of the Corporation as are provided in these bylaws or as may be determined by resolution of the board of directors not inconsistent with these bylaws.

The president may, without limitation, agree upon and execute all division and transfer orders, bonds, contracts, and other obligations in the name of the Corporation.

        6.08    Vice Presidents.    Each vice president shall have such powers and duties as may be prescribed by the board of directors or as may be delegated from time to time by the president and (in the order as designated by the board of directors, or in the absence of such designation, as determined by the

8

length of time each has held the office of vice president continuously) shall exercise the powers of the president during that officer's absence or inability to act. As between the Corporation and third parties, any action taken by a vice president in the performance of the duties of the president shall be conclusive evidence of the absence or inability to act of the president at the time such action was taken.

The assistant treasurers (in the order as designated by the board of directors or, in the absence of such designation, as determined by the length of time each has held the office of assistant treasurer continuously) shall exercise the powers of the treasurer during that officer's absence or inability to act. As between the Corporation and third parties, any action taken by an assistant treasurer in the performance of the duties of the treasurer shall be conclusive evidence of the absence or inability to act of the treasurer at the time such action was taken.

        6.11    Secretary.    The secretary shall maintain minutes of all meetings of the board of directors, of any committee, and of the shareholders or consents in lieu of such minutes in the Corporation's minute books, and shall cause notice of such meetings to be given when requested by any person authorized to call such meetings. The secretary may sign with the president, in the name of the Corporation, all contracts of the Corporation and affix the seal of the Corporation thereto. The secretary shall have charge of the certificate books, share transfer records, stock ledgers, and such other stock books and papers as the board of directors may direct, all of which shall at all reasonable times be open to inspection by any director at the office of the Corporation during business hours. The secretary shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the board of directors or as may be delegated from time to time by the president.

        6.12    Assistant Secretaries.    Each assistant secretary shall have such powers and duties as may be prescribed by the board of directors or as may be delegated from time to time by the president. The assistant secretaries (in the order designated by the board of directors or, in the absence of such designation, as determined by the length of time each has held the office of assistant secretary continuously) shall exercise the powers of the secretary during that officer's absence or inability to act. As between the Corporation and third parties, any action taken by an assistant secretary in the performance of the duties of the secretary shall be conclusive evidence of the absence or inability to act of the secretary at the time such action was taken.

9

        7.02    Certificates for Certificated Shares.    The certificates representing certificated shares of stock of the Corporation shall be in such form as shall be approved by the board of directors in conformity with law.
