VECTOR INTERSECT SECURITY ACQUISITION CORP.
BYLAWS
ARTICLE ONE.
OFFICES
1. Registered Office. The registered office of VECTOR INTERSECT
SECURITY ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), shall be
located in the City of Wilmington, State of Delaware.
2. Other Offices. The Corporation may also have offices at such other
places, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") may from time to time
determine or as the business of the Corporation may require.
ARTICLE TWO.
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
1. Place. All annual meetings of stockholders shall be held at such
place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by the
Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed
waiver of notice thereof. Special meetings of stockholders may be held at such
place, within or without the State of Delaware, and at such time as shall be
stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice
thereof.
2. Time of Annual Meeting. Annual meetings of stockholders shall be
held on such date and at such time fixed, from time to time, by the Board of
Directors, provided, that there shall be an annual meeting held every calendar
year at which the stockholders shall elect a board of directors and transact
such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.
3. Call of Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may
be called by the Chairman of the Board, a majority of the directors or by the
Secretary on the written request of the holders of not less than a majority of
all shares entitled to vote at the meeting.
4. Conduct of Meetings. The Chairman of the Board (or in his absence,
the President or such other designee of the Chairman of the Board) shall preside
at the annual and special meetings of stockholders and shall be given full
discretion in establishing the rules and procedures to be followed in conducting
the meetings, except as otherwise provided by law or in these Bylaws.
5. Notice and Waiver of Notice. Written or printed notice stating the
place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the
purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less
than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the day of the meeting,
either personally or by first-class mail, by or at the direction
of the President, the Secretary, or the officer or person calling the meeting,
to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If the notice is
mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United
States mail addressed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the
stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. If a
meeting is adjourned to another time and/or place, and if an announcement of the
adjourned time and/or place is made at the meeting, it shall not be necessary to
give notice of the adjourned meeting unless the Board of Directors, after
adjournment, fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting or if the
adjournment is for more than 30 days. Notice need not be given to any
stockholder who submits a written waiver of notice by him before or after the
time stated therein. Attendance of a person at a meeting of stockholders shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when a stockholder attends
a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting,
to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any
regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written
waiver of notice.
6. Business of Special Meeting. Business transacted at any special
meeting shall be confined to the purposes stated in the notice thereof.
7. Quorum. The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote,
represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at meetings of
stockholders except as otherwise provided in the Corporation's certificate of
incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation"). If, however, a quorum shall
not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the
stockholders present in person or represented by proxy shall have the power to
adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at
the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned
meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be
transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified
and called. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to
transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of some stockholders prior to
adjournment, but in no event shall a quorum consist of the holders of less than
one-third (1/3) of the shares entitled to vote and thus represented at such
meeting.
8. Required Vote. The vote of the holders of a majority of the shares
entitled to vote and represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall
be the act of the Corporation's stockholders, unless the vote of a greater
number is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws.
9. Voting of Shares. Each outstanding share, regardless of class,
shall be entitled to vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of
stockholders, except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any
class are limited or denied by the Certificate of Incorporation or the General
Corporation Law of Delaware.
10. Proxies. A stockholder may vote in person or by proxy executed in
writing by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. No proxy
shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from the date of its
execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Each proxy shall be revocable
unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable, and unless otherwise made
irrevocable by law.
-2-
11. Stockholder List. The officer or agent having charge of the
Corporation's stock transfer books shall make, at least ten (10) days before
each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to
vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order,
with the address of, and the number and class and series, if any, of shares held
by each. Such list, for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, shall
be subject to inspection by any stockholder at any time during the usual
business hours at the place where the meeting is to be held. Such list shall
also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be
subject to the inspection of any stockholder during the whole time of the
meeting. The original stock transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to
who are the stockholders entitled to examine such list or transfer book or to
vote at any such meeting of stockholders.
12. Action Without Meeting. Any action required by the statutes to be
taken at a meeting of stockholders, or any action that may be taken at a meeting
of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting or notice if a consent, or
consents, in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be 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 with respect to the
subject matter thereof, and such consent shall be delivered to the Corporation
by delivery to its registered office, 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 the
Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or certified mail, return
receipt requested. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote
of stockholders taken at such a meeting.
13. Fixing Record Date. For the purpose of determining stockholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any
adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order
to make a determination of stockholders for any other proper purposes, the Board
of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such
determination of stockholders, such date in any case to be not more than sixty
(60) days, and, in case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than ten (10)
days, prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such
determination of stockholders is to be taken. If no record date is fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
stockholders, or stockholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the
date on which the notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the
resolutions of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the
case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of stockholders.
When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
stockholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall
apply to any adjournment thereof, except where the Board of Directors fixes a
new record date for the adjourned meeting.
14. Inspectors and Judges. The Board of Directors in advance of any
meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors of election or judges
of the vote, as the case may be, to act at the meeting or any adjournment
thereof. If any inspector or inspectors, or judge or judges, are not appointed,
the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more
inspectors or judges. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector or
judge fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by the Board of
Directors in advance of the
-3-
meeting, or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. The inspectors or
judges, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock outstanding and
the voting power of each, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the
existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive
votes, ballots and consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions
arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate votes, ballots
and consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct
the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. On request of the person
presiding at the meeting, the inspector or inspectors or judge or judges, if
any, shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter
determined by him or them, and execute a certificate of any fact found by him or
them.
ARTICLE THREE.
DIRECTORS
1. Number, Election and Term. The number of directors of the
Corporation shall be fixed from time to time, within the limits specified by the
Certificate of Incorporation, by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided,
however, no director's term shall be shortened by reason of a resolution
reducing the number of directors. The directors shall be elected at the annual
meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article,
and each director elected shall hold office for the term for which he is elected
and until his successor is elected and qualified. Directors need not be
residents of the State of Delaware, stockholders of the Corporation or citizens
of the United States. Unless provided otherwise by law, any director may be
removed at any time, with or without cause, at a special meeting of the
stockholders called for that purpose.
2. Vacancies. A director may resign at any time by giving written
notice to the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board. Such resignation
shall take effect at the date of receipt of such notice or at any later time
specified therein; and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of
such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any vacancy
occurring in the Board of Directors and any directorship to be filled by reason
of an increase in the size of the Board of Directors shall be filled by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the current directors though less than a
quorum of the Board of Directors, or may be filled by an election at an annual
or special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose. A director
elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his
predecessor in office, or until the next election of one or more directors by
stockholders if the vacancy is caused by an increase in the number of directors.
3. Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be
managed by its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the
Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by
the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be
exercised and done by the stockholders.
4. Place of Meetings. Meetings of the Board of Directors, regular or
special, may be held either within or without the State of Delaware.
5. Annual Meeting. The first meeting of each newly elected Board of
Directors shall be held, without call or notice, immediately following each
annual meeting of stockholders.
-4-
6. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may
also be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to
time be determined by the Board of Directors.
7. Special Meetings and Notice. Special meetings of the Board of
Directors may be called by the President and shall be called by the Secretary on
the written request of any two directors. Written notice of special meetings of
the Board of Directors shall be given to each director at least twenty-four (24)
hours before the meeting. Except as required by statute, neither the business to
be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the
Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such
meeting. Notices to directors shall be in writing and delivered personally or
mailed to the directors at their addresses appearing on the books of the
Corporation. Notice by mail shall be deemed to be given at the time when the
same shall be received. Notice to directors may also be given by telegram, and
shall be deemed delivered when the same shall be deposited at a telegraph office
for transmission and all appropriate fees therefor have been paid. Whenever any
notice is required to be given to any director, a waiver thereof in writing
signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after
the time stated therein, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice.
Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of
such meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any
business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
8. Quorum and Required Vote. A majority of the directors shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of the majority
of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the
act of the Board of Directors, unless a greater number is required by the
Certificate of Incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of
the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting
from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until
a quorum shall be present. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be
present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the
meeting as originally notified and called.
9. Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be
taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof may be taken
without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action taken, is
signed by all of the members of the Board of Directors or the committee, as the
case may be, and such consent shall have the same force and effect as a
unanimous vote at a meeting.
10. Telephone Meetings. Directors and committee members may
participate in and hold 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. Participation in such a meetings shall constitute
presence in person at the meeting, except where a person participates in the
meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business
on the ground the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
11. Committees. The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a
majority of the whole Board of Directors, may designate from among its members
an executive committee and one or more other committees, each of which, to the
extent provided in such resolution, shall have and may exercise all of the
authority of the Board of Directors in the
-5-
business and affairs of the Corporation except where the action of the full
Board of Directors is required by statute. Vacancies in the membership of a
committee shall be filled by the Board of Directors at a regular or special
meeting of the Board of Directors. The executive committee shall keep regular
minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors when
required. The designation of any such committee and the delegation thereto of
authority shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any member
thereof, of any responsibility imposed upon it or him by law.
12. Compensation of Directors. The directors may be paid their
expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and
may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors
or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from
serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation
therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like
compensation for attending committee meetings.
13. Chairman of the Board. The Board of Directors may, in its
discretion, choose a chairman of the board who shall preside at meetings of the
stockholders and of the directors and shall be an ex officio member of all
standing committees. The Chairman of the Board shall have such other powers and
shall perform such other duties as shall be designated by the Board of
Directors. The Chairman of the Board shall be a member of the Board of Directors
but no other officers of the Corporation need be a director. The Chairman of the
Board shall serve until his successor is chosen and qualified, but he may be
removed at any time by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of
Directors.
ARTICLE FOUR.

5. Term. The officers of the Corporation shall hold office until their
successors are chosen and qualified. Any officer or agent elected or appointed

with or without cause, by the Board of Directors whenever in its judgment the
best interests 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.
Any officers or agents appointed by the President of the Corporation pursuant to
Section 3 of this Article Four may also be removed from such officer positions
by the Chief Executive Officer, with or without cause. Any vacancy occurring in

6. President. The President shall be the Chief Executive Officer of
the Corporation, shall have general and active management of the business of the
Corporation and shall see that all orders and resolutions of the Board of
Directors are carried into effect. In the absence of the Chairman of the Board

Board of Directors.
7. Vice Presidents. The Vice Presidents in the order of their
seniority (including Executive Vice Presidents), unless otherwise determined by
the Board of Directors, shall, in the absence or disability of the President,

such other duties and have such other powers as the Board of Directors shall
prescribe or as the President may from time to time delegate.
8. Secretary. The Secretary shall attend all meetings of the Board of
Directors and all meetings of the stockholders and record all the proceedings of
the meetings of the stockholders and of the Board of Directors in a book to be

the stockholders and special meetings of the Board of Directors, and shall
perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors or

the seal of the Corporation and, when authorized by the Board of Directors,
affix the same to any instrument requiring it.
9. Treasurer. The Treasurer shall have the custody of corporate funds
and securities and shall keep full and accurate accounts of receipts and

and of the financial condition of the Corporation.
-7-
ARTICLE FIVE.
CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES
1. Issue of Certificates. The shares of the Corporation shall be
represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors of the
Corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or
all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such
resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such
certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of
such a resolution by the Board of Directors, every holder of stock represented
by certificates (and upon request every holder of uncertificated shares) shall
be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation
by the chairman or vice-chairman of the Board of Directors, or the President or
Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, representing the number of shares
registered in certificate form.
2. Legends for Preferences and Restrictions on Transfer. 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 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 by 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.
A written restriction on the transfer or registration of transfer of a
security of the Corporation, if permitted by law and noted conspicuously on the
certificate representing the security may be enforced against the holder of the
restricted security or any successor or transferee of the holder including an
executor, administrator, trustee, guardian or other fiduciary entrusted with
like responsibility for the person or estate of the holder. Unless noted
conspicuously on the certificate representing the security, a restriction, even
though permitted by law, is ineffective except against a person with actual
knowledge of the restriction. If the Corporation issues any shares that are not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and registered or
qualified under the applicable state securities laws, the transfer of any such
shares shall be restricted substantially in accordance with the following
legend:
"THESE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. THEY MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE,
SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR PLEDGED WITHOUT (1) REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933 AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE LAW, OR (2) AT HOLDER'S EXPENSE, AN
OPINION (SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION) OF COUNSEL (SATISFACTORY TO THE
CORPORATION) THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."
-8-
3. Facsimile Signatures. Any and all 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 such certificate shall have
ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate
is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he
were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of the issue.
4. Lost Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new certificate of
stock in place of any certificate therefore issued by it, alleged to have been
lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the
lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative to give the
Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made
against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such
certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.
5. Transfer of Shares. Upon surrender to the Corporation or the
transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or
accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to
transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to
the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the
transaction upon its books.
6. Registered Stockholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to
recognize the exclusive rights 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 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 the State of
Delaware.
ARTICLE SIX.
