the DGCL or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the case may be, will
be controlling.

New Castle, and the name and address of its registered agent is The Corporation
Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware.

SECTION 1.2. Other Offices. The Corporation may have such other
offices, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of
Directors may designate or as the business of the Corporation may from time to
time require.

ARTICLE II

STOCKHOLDERS

SECTION 2.1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Corporation shall be held on such date as shall be fixed by resolution of
the Board of Directors at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation, or at such other place and/or time as may be fixed
by resolution of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 2.2. Special Meeting. Subject to the rights of the holders of
any series of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Corporation (the
"Preferred Stock") to elect additional directors under specified circumstances,
special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the Board of
Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of
directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies (the
"Whole Board").

SECTION 2.3. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate the
place of meeting for any meeting of the stockholders. If no designation is made
by the Board of Directors, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of
the Corporation.

SECTION 2.4. Notice of Meeting. Written or printed notice, stating the
place, day and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the
meeting is called, shall be prepared and delivered by the Corporation not less
than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, either
personally or by mail, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such
meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited
in the United States mail with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the
stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the stock transfer books of
the Corporation. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law.
Meetings may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote are
present, or if notice is waived by those not present. Any previously scheduled
meeting of the stockholders may be postponed by resolution of the Board of
Directors upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for
such meeting of stockholders.

SECTION 2.5. Quorum and Adjournment. Except as otherwise provided by
law or by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (the "Voting Stock"), represented in person or by proxy

specified business is to be voted on by a class or series voting as a class, the
holders of a majority of the shares of' such class or series shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of such business. The chairman of the meeting or a
majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time
whether or not there is such a quorum. No notice of the time and place of
adjourned meetings need be given except as required by law. The stockholders
present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until
adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less
than a quorum.

SECTION 2.6. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of
stockholders may vote either in person or by a proxy. A stockholder may
authorize another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy by (i)
executing a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for him or her
as proxy (such execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or his or her
authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing
his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means
including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature), or (ii) transmitting or
authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of
electronic transmission (including by telephone) to the person who will be the
holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service
organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder
of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram,
cablegram or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be
submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram,
cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. No
proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the
proxy provides for a longer period. If no date is stated in 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 expressly provided therein
to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an
irrevocable power or unless otherwise made irrevocable by law.

SECTION 2.7. Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.

(A) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. (1) Nominations of persons for
election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of
business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting
of stockholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting delivered
pursuant to Section 2.4 of these By-Laws, (b) by or at the direction of the
Board of Directors, or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled
to vote at the meeting, who complied with the notice procedures set forth in
clauses (2) and (3) of this paragraph (A) and this By-Law and who was a
stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of
the Corporation.

-2-

(2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an
annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (A)(1) of
this By-Law, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to
the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely a stockholder's notice shall be
delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not less than seventy days nor more than ninety days prior to the first
anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in
the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than twenty
days or delayed by more than seventy days from such anniversary date, notice by
the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the ninetieth
day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the
later of the seventieth day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day
following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is
first made. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth: (a) as to each person
whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a
director all information relating to such person that is required to be
disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise
required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (including such person's written
consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a
director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes
to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be
brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the
meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the
beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to
the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such
stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such beneficial
owner and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned
beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (A)(2)
of this By-Law to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be
elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is
no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the
size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least eighty
days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a
stockholder's notice required by this By-Law shall also be considered timely but
only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if
it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the
day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(B) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be
conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before
the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting pursuant to Section
2.4 of these By-Laws. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of
Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors
are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (a) by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) by any stockholder of the
Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complies with the notice
procedures set forth in this By-Law and who is a stockholder of record at the
time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation. Nominations
by stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at
such a special meeting of stockholders if the stockholder's notice required by
paragraph (A)(2) of this By-Law shall be delivered to the Secretary at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the ninetieth
day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on
the later of the seventieth day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day
following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the
special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be
elected at such meeting.

(C) General. (1) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this By-Law shall be eligible to serve as directors and
only such business shall be conducted at a meeting

-3-

of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this By-Law. Except as otherwise provided by law,
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the chairman of the
meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any
business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this By-Law and, if any proposed nomination or
business is not in compliance with this By-Law, to declare that such defective
proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

(2) For purposes of this By-Law, "public announcement" shall mean
disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated
Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the
Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13,
14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-Law, a
stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set
forth in this By-Law. Nothing in this By-Law shall be deemed to affect any
rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's
proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 2.8. Procedure for Election of Directors. Election of directors
at all meetings of the stockholders at which directors are to be elected shall
be by written ballot, and, except as otherwise set forth in any Preferred Stock
Designation (as defined in Article IV of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation) with respect to the right of the holders of any series of
Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, a
majority of the votes cast thereat shall elect. Except as otherwise provided by
law, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, any Preferred Stock Designation,
these By-Laws or any resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, all
matters other than the election of directors submitted to the stockholders at
any meeting shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast with respect
thereto.

SECTION 2.9. Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls.

(A) The Board of Directors by resolution may appoint one or more
inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the
Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as officers,
employees, agents or representatives of the Corporation, to act at the meeting
and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as
alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector
or alternate has been appointed to act, or if all inspectors or alternates who
have been appointed are unable to act, at a meeting of stockholders, the
chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the
meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and
sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict
impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.
The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by the DGCL.

(B) The chairman of the meeting shall fix and announce at the meeting
the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter
upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting.

SECTION 2.10. No Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Subject to the
rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional
directors under specified circumstances, any action required or permitted to be
taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or
special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by
any consent in writing by such stockholders.

ARTICLE III

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 3.1. General Powers. The business and affairs of the
Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its Board of
Directors. In addition to the powers and authorities by these By-Laws expressly
conferred upon them, the Board of Directors may exercise all such powers of the
Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by law or by the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by these ByLaws required to be
exercised or done by the stockholders.

SECTION 3.2. Number, Tenure and Qualifications. Subject to the rights
of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under
specified circumstances, the number of directors shall be fixed from time to
time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Whole Board, but shall
consist of not more than nineteen nor less than three directors. The directors,
other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred
Stock, shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally hold
office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with the term
of office of the first class to expire at the 1994 annual meeting of
stockholders, the term of office of the second class to expire at the 1995
annual meeting of stockholders and the term of office of the third class to
expire at the 1996 annual meeting of stockholders. Each director shall hold
office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. At
each annual meeting of stockholders, commencing with the 1994 annual meeting,
(i) directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms then expire shall
be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting
of stockholders after their election, with each director to hold office until
his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, and (ii) if
authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors, directors may be elected
to fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors, regardless of how such vacancy
shall have been created.

SECTION 3.3. Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the Board of
Directors shall be held without other notice than this By-Law immediately after,
and at the same place as, each annual meeting of stockholders. The Board of
Directors may, by resolution, provide the time and place for the holding of
additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution.

SECTION 3.4. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be called at the request of the Chairman of the Board, the
President or a majority of the Board of Directors. The person or persons
authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may fix the place
and time of the meetings.

SECTION 3.5. Notice. Notice of any special meeting shall be given to
each director at his business or residence in writing or by telegram or by
telephone communication. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed adequately
delivered when deposited in the United States mail so addressed, with postage
thereon prepaid, at least five days before such meeting. If by telegram, such
notice shall be deemed adequately delivered when the telegram is delivered to
the telegraph company at least twenty-four hours before such meeting. If by
telephone, the notice shall be given at least twelve hours prior to the time set
for the meeting. 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 of such meeting, except for amendments to these By-Laws, as provided
under Section 7.1 of Article VII hereof. A meeting may be held at any time
without notice if all the directors are present or if those not present waive
notice of the meeting in writing, either before or after such meeting.

-5-

SECTION 3.6. Quorum. A whole number of directors equal to at least a
majority of the Whole Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business, but if at any meeting of the Board of Directors there shall be less
than a quorum present, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the
meeting from time to time without further notice. 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. The directors present at a duly organized meeting may
continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal
of enough directors to leave less than a quorum.

SECTION 3.7. Written Action. Any action required or permitted to be
taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may
be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or any such
committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or
writings are filed with the minutes or proceedings of the Board of Directors or
any such committee.

SECTION 3.8. Participation in Meetings by Conference Telephone. Members
of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of
Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any such
committee, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment
by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other,
and such participation in a meeting will constitute presence in person at the
meeting.

SECTION 3.9. Vacancies. Subject to the rights of the holders of any
series of Preferred Stock, and unless the Board of Directors otherwise
determines, vacancies resulting from death, resignation, retirement,
disqualification, removal from office or other cause, and newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors,
may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining
directors, though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and directors so
chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been
elected expires and until such director's successor shall have been duly elected
and qualified. No decrease in the number of authorized directors constituting
the Whole Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

SECTION 3.10. Removal. Subject to the rights of the holders of any
series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified
circumstances, any director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed
from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least 75 percent of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting
together as a single class.

SECTION 3.11. Appointment of Committees. The Board of Directors may
designate one or more committees, consisting of at least two directors each, to
perform such duties as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The number
of directors composing each such committee and the powers conferred upon each
such committee shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.

In the event that the Board of Directors shall designate a committee
that shall have the power to recommend or approve changes in the compensation of
executives of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation and/or a
committee that shall have the power to recommend nominees for election as
directors of the Corporation, the membership of each such committee shall
consist solely of directors who are "independent directors" as defined in
Section 3.10 of this Article III.

SECTION 3.12. Majority of Independent Directors. Except as otherwise
provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of holders of any series of
Preferred Stock, the majority of persons elected to the Board of Directors shall
consist of persons who are independent directors. For purposes of this Article
III, an "independent director" shall mean a director who: (i) has not been
employed by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation in an

-6-

executive capacity within the past five years; (ii) does not have, and is not
affiliated with a company, firm or institution that has a significant economic
relationship to the Corporation (other than through stock ownership or customary
directors' fees); (iii) does not have a personal services contract with the
Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation; and (iv) is not a familial
relative of any person described in (i) through (iii). Should the death,
resignation, disqualification or removal of any director result in the failure
of the requirement set forth in the preceding sentence to be met, such
requirement shall not apply during the term of the vacancy caused by such death,
resignation, disqualification or removal, and the remaining directors shall
cause any such vacancy to be filled in accordance with Section 3.7 of this
Article III within a reasonable period of time.

The Board of Directors shall have the exclusive right and power to
interpret and apply the provisions of this Article III relating to independent
directors and shall be entitled to rely upon the completeness and accuracy of
directors' responses to written questionnaires circulated for the purpose of
enabling the Board of Directors to make the determinations of independence
required by this Article III.

Information regarding a nominee for director provided by a stockholder
shall include such information as may be necessary to enable the Board of
Directors to make an informed determination as to whether such nominee, if
elected, would be an "independent director" as defined in this Section.

ARTICLE IV

OFFICERS

SECTION 4.1. Elected Officers. The elected officers of the Corporation
shall be a Chairman of the Board, a President, one or more Vice Presidents, a

first occur, except as otherwise provided in an employment contract or under an
employee deferred compensation plan.

or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has 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 or she were such
officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

of some object, and shall have inscribed thereunder the words "Corporate Seal"
and around the margin thereof the words "Aviall, Inc. - Delaware 1993".

SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be
given to any stockholder or director of the Corporation under the provisions of
the DGCL, 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 deemed
equivalent to the giving of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted
at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of the stockholders or the
Board of Directors need be specified in any waiver of notice of such meeting.

SECTION 6.5. Audits. The accounts, books and records of the Corporation
shall be audited upon the conclusion of each fiscal year by an independent
certified public accountant selected by the Board of Directors, and it shall be
the duty of the Board of Directors to cause such audit to be made annually.

SECTION 6.6. Resignations. Any director or any officer, whether elected

resignation on the President or the Secretary, and such resignation shall be
deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the date said notice is

-9-

the President, or the Secretary. No formal action shall be required of the Board
of Directors or the stockholders to make any such resignation effective.

SECTION 6.7. Indemnification and Insurance. (A) Each person who was or
is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any
action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she
or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was a director,
officer or employee of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation or of
a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer or employee or in
any other capacity while serving as a director, officer or employee, shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent
authorized by the DGCL 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 rights than said law
permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all
expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid
in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased
to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of his or
her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as
provided in paragraph (B) of this By-Law with respect to proceedings seeking to
enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such
person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof)
initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was
authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(B) If a claim under paragraph (A) of this By-Law is not paid in full
by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by
the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in
whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of
prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an
action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any
proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking,
if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has
not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for
the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden
of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the
Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or
stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances
because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the
DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not
met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or
create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of
conduct.

(C) Following any "change in control" of the Corporation of the type
required to be reported under Item 1 of Form 8-K promulgated under the Exchange
Act, any determination as to entitlement to indemnification shall be made by
independent legal counsel selected by the claimant, which such independent legal
counsel shall be retained by the Board of Directors on behalf of the
Corporation.

(D) The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred
in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this
By-Law shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or
hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.

-10-

(E) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect
itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would
have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss
under the DGCL.

(F) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by
the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be paid
by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance
of its final disposition, to any agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent
of the provisions of this By-Law with respect to the indemnification and
advancement of expenses of directors, officers and employees of the Corporation.

(G) The right to indemnification conferred in this By-Law shall be a
contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition; provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, the payment of such
expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director
or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by
such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service
to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a
proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so
advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is
not entitled to be indemnified under this By-Law or otherwise.

ARTICLE VII

or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any
particular class or series of the Voting Stock required by law, the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, any Preferred Stock Designation or these By-Laws,
