ARTICLE I
STOCKHOLDERS
SECTION 1.01. ANNUAL MEETING. The Board of Directors by resolution shall
designate the time, place and date (which shall be, in the case of the first
annual meeting, not more than 13 months after the organization of the
Corporation and, in the case of all other annual meetings, not more than 13
months after the date of the last annual meeting) of the annual meeting of the
stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of such other
business as may come before it.
SECTION 1.02. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the stockholders, for
any purpose or purposes, may be called at any time by the Chairman, the
Vice-Chairman, the President, any Vice-President, the Treasurer or the Secretary
or by resolution
<Page>
of the Board of Directors and shall be called by the Secretary upon receipt by
the Secretary of a request to the Corporation in writing signed by the holders
of at least 35% of the Common Stock of the Corporation then outstanding. Special
meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, within or without the
State of Delaware, as shall be fixed by the person or persons calling the
meeting and stated in the notice or waiver of notice of the meeting.
SECTION 1.03. NOTICE OF MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS. Whenever stockholders are
required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, written notice of the
meeting shall be given (unless that notice shall be waived or unless the meeting
is to be dispensed with in accordance with the provisions of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) which shall state the place, date and
hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or
purposes for which the meeting is called. The written notice of any meeting
shall be given, personally or by mail, not less than ten nor more than sixty
days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such
meeting. If mailed, such notice is given when deposited in the United States
mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears
on the records of the Corporation.
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be
given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at
the meeting at which the
-2-
<Page>
adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any
business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the
adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new
record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned
meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the
meeting.
SECTION 1.04. QUORUM. At all meetings of the stockholders, the holders of
one-third of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat,
present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
any business.
When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it is not broken by
the subsequent withdrawal of any stockholders.
The stockholders present may adjourn the meeting despite the absence of a
quorum and at any such adjourned meeting at which the requisite amount of voting
stock shall be represented, the Corporation may transact any business which
might have been transacted at the original meeting had a quorum been there
present.
SECTION 1.05. METHOD OF VOTING. The vote upon any question before the
meeting need not be by ballot. All elections and all other questions shall be
decided by a plurality of the votes cast, at a meeting at which a quorum is
present, except as
-3-
<Page>
expressly provided otherwise by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware or the Certificate of Incorporation.
SECTION 1.06. VOTING RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS AND PROXIES. Each stockholder
of record entitled to vote in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware,
the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, shall at every meeting of the
stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of
stock entitled to vote standing in his name on the books of the Corporation, but
no proxy shall be voted on after three years from its date, unless the proxy
provides for a longer period.
SECTION 1.07. OWNERSHIP OF ITS OWN STOCK. Shares of its own capital stock
belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the
shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation
is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled
to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes. Nothing in this section shall be
construed as limiting the right of any corporation to vote stock, including but
not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.
SECTION 1.08. VOTING BY FIDUCIARIES AND PLEDGORS. Persons holding stock in
a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the shares so held. Persons whose
stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless in the transfer by the
pledgor on the books of the Corporation he has expressly empowered the pledgee
-4-
<Page>
to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent
such stock and vote thereon.
If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the
names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership,
joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if
two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same
shares, unless the Secretary of the Corporation is given written notice to the
contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them
or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect
to voting shall have the following effect:
(1) If only one votes, his act binds all;
(2) If more than one vote, the act of the majority so voting binds all;
(3) If more than one vote, but the vote is evenly split on any particular
matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or any
person voting the shares, or a beneficiary, if any, may apply to the Court of
Chancery or such other court as may have jurisdiction to appoint an additional
person to act with the persons so voting the shares, which shall then be voted
as determined by a majority of such persons and the person appointed by the
Court. If the instrument so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal
interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of this subsection shall be
a majority or even-split in interest.

SECTION 1.09. FIXING DATE FOR DETERMINATION OF STOCKHOLDERS OF RECORD. In
order to determine the stockholders (i) entitled to notice of or to vote at any
meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or (ii) entitled to express
consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or (iii) entitled to
receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any
rights, or (iv) entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change,
conversion or exchange of stock, or (v) for the purpose of any other lawful
action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall
not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting,
nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed
by the Board of Directors, the record date shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
SECTION 1.10. LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS. The officer who has charge of the stock
ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every
meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to
vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of
each 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 ten days prior to the meeting, either at a
-6-
<Page>
place within the city where the meeting is to be held (which place shall be
specified in the notice of the meeting or, if not so specified, at the place
where said meeting is to be held), and the list shall be produced and kept at
the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be
inspected by any stockholder who may be present. Upon the willful neglect or
refusal of the directors to produce such a list at any meeting for the election
of directors, they shall be ineligible for election to any office at such
meeting.
SECTION 1.11. STOCKHOLDER'S RIGHT OF INSPECTION. Stockholders of record, in
person or by attorney or other agent, shall have the right, upon written demand
under oath stating the purpose thereof, during the usual hours for business to
inspect for any proper purpose the Corporation's stock ledger, a list of its
stockholders, and its other books and records, and to make copies or extracts
therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such
person's interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other
agent shall be the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under
oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which
authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder.
The demand under oath shall be directed to the Corporation at its registered
office in this State or at its principal place of business.
The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders
entitled to examine the stock ledger, the
-7-
<Page>
list required by Section 1.10 or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in
person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders.
ARTICLE II
DIRECTORS
SECTION 2.01. MANAGEMENT OF BUSINESS. The business of the Corporation shall
be managed by its Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors, in addition to the powers and authority expressly
conferred upon it herein, by statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation or otherwise, is hereby empowered to exercise all such powers as may
be exercised by the Corporation, except as expressly provided otherwise by the
statutes of the State of Delaware, by the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation or by these By-Laws.
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Board of
Directors, by resolution or resolutions, may create and issue, whether or not in
connection with the issue and sale of any shares of stock or other securities of
the Corporation, rights or options entitling the holders thereof to purchase
from the Corporation any shares of its capital stock of any class or classes or
any other securities of the Corporation, such rights or options to be evidenced
by or in such instrument or instruments as shall be approved by the Board of
Directors. The terms upon which, including the time or times, which may be
limited or unlimited in duration, at or within which, and the price or prices at
which, any such rights or options may be
-8-
<Page>
issued and any such shares or other securities may be purchased from the
Corporation upon the exercise of any such right or option shall be such as shall
be fixed and stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors providing for the creation and issue of such rights or options, and,
in every case, set forth or incorporated by reference in the instrument or
instruments evidencing such rights or options. In the absence of actual fraud in
the transaction, the judgment of the directors as to the consideration for the
issuance of such rights or options and the sufficiency thereof shall be
conclusive. In case the shares of stock of the Corporation to be issued upon the
exercise of such rights or options shall be shares having a par value, the price
or prices so to be received therefor shall not be less than the par value
thereof. In case the shares of stock so to be issued shall be shares of stock
without par value, the consideration therefor shall be determined in the manner
provided in Section 153 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
SECTION 2.02. QUALIFICATIONS AND NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. Directors need not be
stockholders. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board
shall be seven, but this number may be increased and subsequently again from

case shall the number be less than five or more than nine.

any time by giving written notice to the Corporation. Such resignation shall

otherwise provided therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be
necessary to make it effective.
SECTION 2.05. VACANCIES AND NEWLY CREATED DIRECTORSHIPS. Vacancies and
newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number
of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though
less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen
shall hold office until their successors shall be elected and qualified, or
until their earlier resignation or removal, provided, however, that the
stockholders removing any director may at the same meeting fill the vacancy
caused by such removal, and provided further that if the directors fail to fill
any such vacancy, the stockholders may at any special meeting called for such
purpose, by written consent or otherwise, fill such vacancy. When one or more
directors
-10-
<Page>
shall resign from the Board, effective at a future date, a majority of the
directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power
to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such
resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen
shall hold office as herein provided in the filling of other vacancies.
SECTION 2.06. QUORUM OF DIRECTORS. At all meetings of the Board of
Directors, five or more directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at
which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as
provided in Section 2.05 hereof.
A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum is present,
may adjourn any meeting of the directors to another time and place. Notice of
any adjournment need not be given if such time and place are announced at the
meeting.

Special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held upon notice to the
directors or waiver thereof.

the
-15-
<Page>
officers of the Corporation may be facsimiles. In case any officer who has

Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, of the Certificate of Incorporation of
the Corporation, or of these By-Laws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the
person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time
stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. 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.
Attendance of a person at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a
waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the 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.
Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given under the provisions
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, of the Certificate of
Incorporation of the

Corporation, or of these By-Laws, to any person with whom communication is made

such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to
apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give
such notice to such person; and any action or meeting which shall be taken or
held without notice to any such person or without giving or without applying for
a license or permit to give any such notice to any such person with whom
communication is made unlawful as aforesaid, shall have the same force and
effect as if such notice had been given as provided under the provisions of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or under the provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or of these By-Laws. In the
event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing
of a certificate under any of the other sections of this title, the certificate

guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the Corporation.
The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest, and may
be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of Directors shall
approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the
Corporation. Nothing in this Section contained shall be deemed to deny, limit or
restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the Corporation at common law or
under any other statute.
SECTION 6.07. AMENDMENT OF BY-LAWS. These By-Laws may be altered, amended
or repealed at any meeting of the Board of Directors.
