Article I.
STOCKHOLDERS
1. CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING STOCK.
Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a
certificate signed by, or in the name of, the corporation by the Chairman or
Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, if any, or by the President or a
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
owned by him in the corporation. If such certificate is countersigned by a
transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee or by a registrar
other than the corporation or its employee, any other signature on the
certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or
registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a
certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar
before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the
same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date
of issue.
3
Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one
class of stock or more than one series of any class of stock, and whenever the
corporation shall issue any shares of its stock as partly paid stock, the
certificates representing shares of any such class or series or of any such
partly paid stock shall set forth thereon the statements prescribed by the
General Corporation Law. Any restrictions on the transfer or registration of
transfer of any shares of stock of any class or series shall be noted
conspicuously on the certificate representing such shares.
The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in place of any
certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or
destroyed, and the Board of Directors may require the owner of any lost, stolen,
or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the corporation a
bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation 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 any such new certificate.
2. FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS.
The corporation may, but shall not be required to, issue fractions
of a share.
2
4
3. STOCK TRANSFERS.
Upon compliance with provisions restricting the transfer or
registration of transfer of shares of stock, if any, transfers or registration
of transfer of shares of stock of the corporation shall be made only on the
stock ledger of the corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by his
attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with
the Secretary of corporation or with a transfer agent or a registrar, if any,
and on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares of stock
properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes due thereon.
4. RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDERS.
In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any
adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record
date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date
is adopted by the board of directors, and which record date shall not be more
than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record
date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall
be at the close of General on the day next preceding the day on which notice is
given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of General on the day next
preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A
3
5
determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a
meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;
providing, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for
the adjourned meeting.
In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment
of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of
any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other
lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date
shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is
adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such
action. If no record date has been fixed, the record date for determining
stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of General on the day on
which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
5. MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS.
As used herein in respect of the right to notice of a meeting of
stockholders or a waiver thereof or to participate or vote thereat or to consent
or dissent in writing in lieu of a meeting, as the case may be, the term "share"
or "shares" or "share of stock" or "shares of stock" or "stockholder" or
"stockholders" refers to an outstanding share or shares of stock
4
6
and to a holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock when the
corporation is authorized to issue only one class of shares of stock, and said
reference is also intended to include any outstanding share or shares of stock
and any holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock of any class
upon which or upon whom the Certificate of Incorporation confers such rights
where there are two or more classes or series of shares of stock or upon which
or upon whom the General Corporation Law confers such rights notwithstanding
that the Certificate of Incorporation may provide for more than one class or
series of shares of stock, one or more of which are limited or denied such
rights thereunder; provided, however, that no such right shall vest in the event
of an increase or a decrease in the authorized number of shares of stock of any
class or series which is otherwise denied voting rights under the provisions of
the Certificate of Incorporation, including any Preferred Stock which is denied
voting rights under the provisions of the resolution or resolutions adopted by
the Board of Directors with respect to the issuance thereof.
6. STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS.
TIME. The annual meeting shall be held on the date and at the time
fixed, from time to time, by the directors. A special meeting shall be held on
the date and at the time fixed by the directors.
5
7
PLACE. Annual meetings and special meetings shall be held at such
place, within or without the State of Delaware, as the directors may, from time
to time, fix. Whenever the directors shall fail to fix such place, the meeting
shall be held at the registered office of the corporation in the State of
Delaware.
CALL. Annual meetings and special meetings may be called by the
directors or by any officer instructed by the directors to call the meeting.
NOTICE OR WAIVER OF NOTICE. Written notice of all meetings shall be
given, stating the place, date, and hour of the meeting. The notice of an annual
meeting shall state that the meeting is called for the election of directors and
for the transaction of other General which may properly come before the meeting,
and shall (if any other action which could be taken at a special meeting is to
be taken at such annual meeting), state such other action or actions as are
known at the time of such notice. The notice of a special meeting shall in all
instances state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If any
action is proposed to be taken which would, if taken, entitle stockholders to
receive payment for their shares of stock, the notice shall include a statement
of that purpose and to that effect. Except as otherwise provided by the General
Corporation Law, a copy of the notice of any meeting shall be given, personally
or by mail, not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date of
the meeting, unless the lapse of the
6
8
prescribed period of time shall have been waived, and directed to each
stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation.
Notice by mail shall be deemed to be given when deposited, with postage thereon
prepaid, in the United States mail. If a meeting is adjourned to another time,
not more than thirty days hence, and/or to another place, and if an announcement
of the adjourned time and place is made at the meeting, it shall not be
necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting unless the directors, after
adjournment, fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. 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
the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the
beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any General because the meeting
is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the General 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.
STOCKHOLDER LIST. There shall be prepared and made, at least ten
days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders,
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
7
9
germane to the meeting, during ordinary General hours, for a period of at least
ten days prior to the meeting either at a place within the city where the
meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the
meeting, or if not so specified, at the place 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 thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is
present. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the
stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this
section or the books of the corporation, or to vote at any meeting of
stockholders.
CONDUCT OF MEETING. Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided
over by one of the following officers in the order of seniority and if present
and acting: the Chairman of the Board, if any, the Vice-Chairman of the Board,
if any, the President, a Vice President, a chairman for the meeting chosen by
the Board of Directors, or, if none of the foregoing is in office and present
and acting, by a chairman to be chosen by the stockholders. The Secretary of the
corporation, or, in his absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary
of every meeting, but if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is
present the Chairman for the meeting shall appoint a secretary of the meeting.
PROXY REPRESENTATION. Every stockholder may authorize another person
or persons to act for him by proxy in all matters in which a stockholder is
entitled to participate, whether by
8
10
waiving notice of any meeting, voting or participating at a meeting, or
expressing consent or dissent without a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by
the stockholder or by his attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be voted or acted
upon after three years from its date unless such proxy provides for a longer
period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is
irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest
sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made
irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an
interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally.
INSPECTORS AND JUDGES. The 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
an 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 appointment made by the person
presiding thereat. Each inspector or judge, if any, before entering upon the
discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the
duties of inspector or judge at such meeting with strict impartiality and
according to the best of his ability. The inspectors or judges, if any, shall
determine the number of shares
9
11
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 or consents, hear and determine all
challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and
tabulate all votes, ballots or 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.
QUORUM. Except as the General Corporation Law or these By-Laws may
otherwise provide, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock
entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders for the
transaction of any General. The stockholders present may adjourn the meeting
despite the absence of a quorum. When a quorum is once present to organize a
meeting, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any shareholders.
VOTING. Each stockholder entitled to vote in accordance with the
terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and of these By-Laws, or, with respect
to the issuance of Preferred Stock, in accordance with the terms of a resolution
or resolutions of the Board of Directors, shall be entitled to one vote, in
person or by
10
12
proxy, for each share of stock entitled to vote held by such stockholder. In the
election of directors, a plurality of the votes present at the meeting shall
elect. Any other action shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast
except where the Certificate of Incorporation or the General Corporation Law
prescribes a different percentage of votes and/or a different exercise of voting
power. Voting by ballot shall not be required for corporate action except as
otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law.
7. STOCKHOLDER ACTION WITHOUT MEETINGS.
Any action required to be taken, or any action which may be taken,
at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a
meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in
writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of
the 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. Prompt notice of the
taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written
consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing
and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office
in Delaware, its principal place of General, or an officer or agent of the
corporation having custody of the book in which
11
13
proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a
corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested.

States, or a resident of the State of Delaware. The initial Board of Directors

as hereinafter provided for special meetings of the Board of Directors, or at
such time and place as shall be fixed by the consent in writing of all of the
directors.

specify the purpose of the meeting. Any requirement of furnishing a notice shall
be waived by any director who signs a written waiver of such notice before or
after the time stated therein.
Attendance of a director at a meeting of the Board shall constitute
a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the director attends a meeting

transaction of any General because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened.

director may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of a conference
telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all directors
participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a

majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum is present, may
adjourn a meeting to another time and place. Except as herein otherwise
provided, and except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, the
act of the Board shall be the act by vote of a majority of the directors present
at a meeting, a quorum being
15
17
present. The quorum and voting provisions herein stated shall not be construed

the extent provided in the resolution of the Board, shall have and may exercise
the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the General and
affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be
affixed to all
16
18
papers which may require it. In the absence or disqualification of any member of
any such committee or committees, the member or members thereof present at any
meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a
quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act
at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.
7. ACTION IN WRITING.

INDEMNITY
Any person who was or is a party or 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 or she is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
(including employee benefit plans) (hereinafter an "indemnitee"), shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent
authorized by the General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter
be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such
amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification than
permitted prior thereto), against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by such indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or
21
23
proceeding, if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
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 such conduct was unlawful. The termination of the
proceeding, whether by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of
nolo contendere 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 or she
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 such conduct was unlawful.
Any person 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 or
she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise (including employee benefit plans) shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the General
Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the
case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the
corporation to provide broader
22
24
indemnification than permitted prior thereto), against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit 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 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 in
which such suit or action was brought, shall determine upon application, that
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which such Court shall deem proper.
All reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of the indemnitee
in connection with any suit, action or proceeding, shall be advanced to the
indemnitee by the corporation.
The rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses
conferred in this section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any
person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the certificate of
incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this section
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee
or agent and shall inure to the
23
25
benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
