                                   ARTICLE I.

                                     OFFICES

         Section 1. Registered Office. The registered office of the corporation
in the State of Delaware shall be in the City of Dover, County of Kent.

         Section 2. Other Offices. The corporation shall also have and maintain
an office or principal place of business in Richmond, Virginia, or at such place
as may be fixed by the Board of Directors, and may also have offices at such
other places, both within and without the State of Delaware, as the Board of
Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the corporation may
require.

                                 CORPORATE SEAL

         Section 3. Corporate Seal. The corporate seal shall consist of a die

                                  ARTICLE III.

                             STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS

         Section 4. Place of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders of the
corporation shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of
Delaware, as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors, or,
if not so designated, then at the office of the corporation required to be
maintained pursuant to Section 2 hereof.

         Section 5. Annual Meeting.

         (a)      The annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation,
commencing with the year 1995, for the purpose of election of Directors and for
such other business as may lawfully come before it, shall be held on such date
and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the Board of
Directors.

         (b)      At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business
shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be
properly brought



before an annual meeting, business must be: (A) specified in the notice of
meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors, (B) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors, or (C) otherwise properly brought before
the meeting by a stockholder. For business to be properly brought before an
annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice
thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a
stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the
principal executive offices of the corporation not less than one hundred twenty
(120) calendar days in advance of the anniversary of the date of the
corporation's proxy statement released to stockholders in connection with the
previous year's annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the
event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the
annual meeting has been changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date
contemplated at the time of the previous year's proxy statement, notice by the
stockholder to be timely must be so received a reasonable time before the
solicitation is made. A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as
to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (i)
a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual
meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii)
the name and address, as they appear on the corporation's books, of the
stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the
corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, (iv) any material
interest of the stockholder in such business and (v) any other information that
is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in his capacity as a proponent
to a stockholder proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to include
information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and
form of proxy for a stockholder's meeting, stockholders must provide notice as
required by the regulations promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no
business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this paragraph (b). The chairman of the annual meeting
shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that business
was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph (b), and, if he should so determine, he shall so
declare at the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the
meeting shall not be transacted.

         (c)      Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this paragraph (c) shall be eligible for election as
Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the
corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the direction of
the Board of Directors or by any stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote
in the election of Directors at the meeting who complies with the notice
procedures set forth in this paragraph (c). Such nominations, other than those
made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to
timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the corporation in accordance with
the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 5. Timely notice shall also be
given of any stockholder's intention to cumulate votes in the election of
directors at a meeting. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (i) as to each
person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or
re-election as a Director: (A) the name, age, business address and residence
address of such person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of such
person, (C) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are
beneficially owned by such person, (D) a description of all arrangements or
understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other person or
persons (naming such person

                                        2



or persons) pursuant to which the nominations are to be made by the stockholder,
and (E) any other 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 (including without limitation such person's written
consent to being named in the proxy statement, if any, as a nominee and to
serving as a Director if elected); and (ii) as to such stockholder giving
notice, the information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section 5 and whether such stockholder intends to request cumulative voting
in the election of Directors at the meeting. At the request of the Board of
Directors, any person nominated by a stockholder for election as a Director
shall furnish to the Secretary of the corporation that information required to
be set forth in the stockholder's notice of nomination which pertains to the
nominee. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the
corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
paragraph (c). The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant,
determine and declare at the meeting that a nomination was not made in
accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws, and if he should so
determine, he shall so declare at the meeting and the defective nomination shall
be disregarded.

         Section 6. Special Meetings.

         (a)      Special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be
called, for any purpose or purposes, by (i) the Chairman of the Board, (ii) the
President, (iii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a
majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist
any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such
resolution is presented to the Board for adoption) or (iv) by the holders of
shares entitled to cast not less than ten percent (10%) of the votes at the
meeting, and shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as they
or he shall fix; provided, however, that following registration of any of the
classes of equity securities of the corporation pursuant to the provisions of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, special meetings of the
stockholders may only be called by the Board of Directors pursuant to a
resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized Directors.

         (b)      If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other
than the Board of Directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the
time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be
transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by
telegraphic or other facsimile transmission to the Chairman of the Board, the
President, any Vice President, or the Secretary of the corporation. No business
may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in such
notice. The officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly
given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 7 of these Bylaws, that a meeting will be held not less than thirty-five
(35) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request. If the
notice is not given within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the request,
the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the notice. Nothing
contained in this paragraph (b) shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or
affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board
of Directors may be held.

         Section 7. Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law or
the Certificate of Incorporation, written notice of each meeting of stockholders
shall be given not

                                        3



less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting
to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the
place, date and hour and purpose or purposes of the meeting. Notice of the time,
place and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing,
signed by the person entitled to notice thereof, either before or after such
meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by his attendance thereat in
person or by proxy, 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. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by
the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had
been given.

         Section 8. Quorum. At all meetings of stockholders, except where
otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by
these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Any shares, the voting of
which at said meeting has been enjoined, or which for any reason cannot be
lawfully voted at such meeting, shall not be counted to determine a quorum at
such meeting. In the absence of a quorum any meeting of stockholders may be
adjourned, from time to time, by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares
represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting.
The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum
is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding
the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as
otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, all
action taken by the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at any
meeting at which a quorum is present shall be valid and binding upon the
corporation; provided, however, that Directors shall be elected by a plurality
of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the
meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Directors. Where a separate vote
by a class or classes is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such
class or classes, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a
quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter and the
affirmative vote of the majority (plurality, in the case of the election of
Directors) of shares of such class or classes present in person or represented
by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class.

         Section 9. Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of
stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time by
the vote of a majority of the shares represented thereat. 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
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 (30) 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 10. Voting Rights.

         (a)      For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to
vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law,
only persons in whose names

                                        4



shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on the record date, as
provided in Section 12 of these Bylaws, shall be entitled to vote at any meeting
of stockholders. Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote
for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder. Every person entitled
to vote or execute consents shall have the right to do so either in person or by
an agent or agents authorized by a written proxy executed by such person or his
duly authorized agent, which proxy shall be filed with the Secretary at or
before the meeting at which it is to be used. An agent so appointed need not be
a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from its date of
creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period. All elections of
Directors shall be by written ballot, unless otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation.

         (b)      Every stockholder shall have such cumulative voting rights as
are set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.

         Section 11. Beneficial Owners of Stock.

         (a)      If shares or other securities having voting power stand of
record in the names of two (2) or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of
a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or
otherwise, or if two (2) or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship
respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary 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: (a) if only one (1) votes, his act
binds all; (b) if more than one (1) votes, the act of the majority so voting
binds all; (c) if more than one (1) votes, but the vote is evenly split on any
particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question
proportionally, or may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for relief as
provided in the General Corporation Law of Delaware, Section 217(b). If the
instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in
unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of this subsection
(c) shall be a majority or even-split in interest. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, (S)
217(b))

         (b)      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 to vote thereon, in which
case only the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent such stock and vote thereon.

         Section 12. List of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare and make,
at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of
the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical
order, 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 (10) 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
specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall be
produced and kept at the time and place of meeting during the whole time
thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

                                        5



         Section 13. Action without Meeting.

         (a)      Any action required by statute to be taken at any annual or
special meeting of the stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any
annual or special meeting of the 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, are 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.

         (b)      Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each
stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent shall be effective to
take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of
the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner herein
required, written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take
action are delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in
the State of Delaware, 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 a corporation's registered office
shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

         (c)      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. If the action which is consented
to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any section
of the General corporation Law of Delaware if such action had been voted on by
stockholders at a meeting thereof, then the certificate filed under such section
shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any
vote of stockholders, that written notice and written consent have been given as
provided in Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

         (d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such action by written
consent may be taken following the effectiveness of the registration of any
class of securities of the corporation under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.

         Section 14. Organization.

         (a)      At every meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, or, if a Chairman has not been appointed or is absent, the President,
or, if the President is absent, the most senior Vice President present, or in
the absence of any such officer, a chairman of the meeting chosen by a majority
in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy,
shall act as chairman. The Secretary, or, in his absence, an Assistant Secretary
directed to do so by the President, shall act as secretary of the meeting.

         (b)      The Board of Directors of the corporation shall be entitled to
make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it
shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and
regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall
have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures
and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are

                                        6



necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting,
including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for
the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the
safety of those present, limitations on participation in such meeting to
stockholders of record of the corporation and their duly authorized and
constituted proxies, and such other persons as the chairman shall permit,
restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement
thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by
participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for
balloting on matters which are to be voted on by ballot. Unless, and to the
extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting,
meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with
rules of parliamentary procedure.

                                  ARTICLE IV.

                                   DIRECTORS

         Section 15. Number and Term of Office. The Board of Directors shall
consist of one or more members, the number thereof to be determined from time to
time by resolution of the Board of Directors. Except as provided in Section 17,
the Directors shall be elected by the stockholders at their annual meeting in

unexpired portion of the term of the Director whose place shall be vacant and
until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. A vacancy in the
Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist under this Section 17 in the case of

or more Directors shall resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a
future date, a

                                        7

the Director whose place shall be vacated and until his successor shall have

present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the Directors not

meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. 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 any written waiver of notice or consent unless
so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. All such
waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made
a part of the minutes of the meeting.

writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or
committee.

         Section 23. Fees and Compensation. Directors shall be entitled to such

of Directors. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any

is not in session all powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the
business and affairs of the corporation, including, without limitation, the

                                        9



power and authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock,
except such committee shall not have the power or authority to amend the

         (b)      Other Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution
passed by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, from time to time appoint
such other committees as may be permitted by law. Such other committees
appointed by the Board of Directors shall consist of one (1) or more members of

may be prescribed by the resolution or resolutions creating such committees, but
in no event shall such committee have the powers denied to the Executive
Committee in these Bylaws.

         (c)      Term. The members of all committees of the Board of Directors
shall serve a term coexistent with that of the Board of Directors which shall
have appointed such committee. The Board of Directors, subject to the provisions
of subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 24, may at any time increase or
decrease the number of members of a committee or terminate the existence of a
committee. The membership of a committee member shall terminate on the date of
his death or voluntary resignation from the committee or from the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time for any reason remove any
individual committee member and the Board of Directors may fill any committee
vacancy created by death, resignation, removal or increase in the number of
members of the committee. The Board of Directors may designate one or more
Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or
disqualified member at any meeting of the committee, and, in addition, in the
absence or disqualification of any member of a committee, 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. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, (S) 141(c))

         (d)      Meetings. Unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise <BR>
provide, regular meetings of the Executive Committee or any other committee
appointed pursuant to this Section 24 shall be held at such times and places as
are determined by the Board of Directors, or by any such committee, and when
notice thereof has been given to each member of such committee, no further
notice of such regular meetings need be given thereafter. Special meetings of
any such committee may be held at any place which has been determined from time
to time by such committee, and may be called by any Director who is a member of
such committee, upon written notice to the members of such committee of the time
and place of such special meeting given in the manner provided for the giving of
written notice to members of the Board of Directors of the time and place of
special meetings of the Board of Directors. Notice of any special meeting of any
committee may be waived in writing at any time before or after the meeting and
will be waived by any Director by attendance thereat, except when the Director
attends such special 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. A majority of the authorized number of
members of any such committee shall

                                       10



constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority
of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of
such committee.

Chairman of the Board of Directors, or, if a Chairman has not been appointed or
is absent, the President, or if the President is absent, the most senior Vice

chosen by a majority of the Directors present, shall preside over the meeting.
The Secretary, or in his absence, an Assistant Secretary directed to do so by
the President, shall act as secretary of the meeting.

                  VOTING OF SECURITIES OWNED BY THE CORPORATION

         Section 31. Execution of Corporate Instruments. The Board of Directors
may, in its discretion, determine the method and designate the signatory officer
or officers, or other person or persons, to execute on behalf of the corporation
any corporate instrument or document, or to sign on behalf of the corporation

the corporation, except where otherwise provided by law or these Bylaws, and

                                 SHARES OF STOCK

         Section 33. Form and Execution of Certificates. Certificates for the

the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. 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 of the Board of Directors, or the President

in the corporation. Where 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 with the same effect as if he were such officer,
transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue. Each certificate shall state

preferences, limitations, restrictions on transfer and relative rights of the
shares authorized to be issued.

be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the
corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of

lost, stolen, or destroyed. The corporation may require, as a condition
precedent to the issuance of a new certificate or certificates, the owner of
such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal
representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require or to
give the corporation a surety bond in such form and amount as it may direct as
indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with
respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed.

         Section 35. Transfers.

         (a)      Transfers of record of shares of stock of the corporation
shall be made only upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by
attorney duly authorized, and upon the surrender of a properly endorsed
certificate or certificates for a like number of shares.

         (b)      The corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any
agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of
the corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation
of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not
prohibited by the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

         (a)      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, in advance, 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

                                       14



record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before
the date of such meeting. If no record date is 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 business on the day next
preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close
of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A
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; provided,
however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned
meeting.

         (b)      In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board
of Directors may fix, in advance, 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 date shall not be more than ten (10) days
after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by
the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of
Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to
corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board
of Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed
written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is
delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State
of Delaware, 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 a Corporation's registered office
shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by
the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for determining
stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a
meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of
Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

         (c)      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, in advance, 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 (60)
days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for
determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business
on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating
thereto.

         Section 37. Registered Stockholders. The corporation shall be entitled
to recognize the exclusive right 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 Delaware.

                                       15



                                 ARTICLE VIII.

                       OTHER SECURITIES OF THE CORPORATION

         Section 38. Execution of Other Securities. All bonds, debentures and
other corporate securities of the corporation, other than stock certificates
(covered in Section 33), may be signed by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, the President or any Vice President, or such other person as may be
authorized by the Board of Directors, and the corporate seal impressed thereon
or a facsimile of such seal imprinted thereon and attested by the signature of
the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or the Chief Financial Officer or
Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer; provided, however, that where any such
bond, debenture or other corporate security shall be authenticated by the manual
signature of a trustee under an indenture pursuant to which such bond, debenture
or other corporate security shall be issued, the signatures of the persons
signing and attesting the corporate seal on such bond, debenture or other
corporate security may be the imprinted facsimile of the signatures of such
persons. Interest coupons appertaining to any such bond, debenture or other
corporate security, authenticated by a trustee as aforesaid, shall be signed by
the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the corporation or such other person
as may be authorized by the Board of Directors, or bear imprinted thereon the
facsimile signature of such person. In case any officer who shall have signed or
attested any bond, debenture or other corporate security, or whose facsimile
signature shall appear thereon or on any such interest coupon, shall have ceased
to be such officer before the bond, debenture or other corporate security so
signed or attested shall have been delivered, such bond, debenture or other
corporate security nevertheless may be adopted by the corporation and issued and
delivered as though the person who signed the same or whose facsimile signature
shall have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer of the
corporation.

                                   ARTICLE IX.

                                    DIVIDENDS

of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of

at any regular or special meeting. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property,
or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the Certificate
of Incorporation.

         Section 40. Dividend Reserve. Before payment of any dividend, there may
be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such
sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time, in their absolute
discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for
equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the
corporation, or for such other purpose as the Board of Directors shall think
conducive to the interests of the corporation, and the Board of Directors may
modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

          Section 42. Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and
Other Agents.

         (a)      Directors and Executive Officers. The corporation shall
indemnify its Directors and executive officers to the fullest extent not
prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law; provided, however, that the
corporation may limit the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts
with its Directors and executive officers; and, provided, further, that the
corporation shall not be required to indemnify any Director or executive officer
in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person or
any proceeding by such person against the corporation or its Directors,
officers, employees or other agents unless (i) such indemnification is expressly
required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of
Directors of the corporation or (iii) such indemnification is provided by the
corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the
corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

         (b)      Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents. The corporation
shall have power to indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents as
set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law.

                  (1)      For purposes of any determination under this Bylaw, a
Director or executive officer shall be deemed to have 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, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have
had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful, if his action
is based on information, opinions, reports and statements, including financial
statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by:

                           (i)      one or more officers or employees of the
corporation whom the Director or executive officer believed to be reliable and
competent in the matters presented;

                           (ii)     counsel, independent accountants or other
persons as to matters which the Director or executive officer believed to be
within such person's professional competence; and

                           (iii)    with respect to a Director, a committee of
the Board upon which such Director does not serve, as to matters within such
Committee's designated authority, which committee the Director believes to merit
confidence; so long as, in each case, the Director or executive officer acts
without knowledge that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted.

                                       17



                  (2)      The termination of any proceeding 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 reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that
he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

                  (3)      The provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be
deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a
person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth by
the Delaware General Corporation Law.

         (c)      Expenses. The corporation shall advance, prior to the final
disposition of any proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses
incurred by any Director or executive officer in connection with such proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said
amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled
to be indemnified under this Bylaw or otherwise.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Bylaw, no advance shall be made by the corporation if a
determination is reasonably and promptly made (1) by the Board of Directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to the
proceeding, or (2) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, that the facts known to the decision making party at the time
such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person
acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

         (d)      Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express
contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to Directors and executive
officers under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be
effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the
corporation and the Director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification
or advances granted by this Bylaw to a Director or executive officer shall be
enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of
competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is
denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within
ninety (90) days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action,
if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense
of prosecuting his claim. The corporation shall be entitled to raise as a
defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of
conduct that make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for
the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the
failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal
counsel or its 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 has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by
the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or
its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant
has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

                                       18



         (e)      Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person
by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may
have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically
authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its Directors,
officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the
fullest extent not prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

         (f)      Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this
Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer,
employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of such a person.

         (g)      Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of
Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted
to be indemnified pursuant to this Bylaw.

         (h)      Amendments. Any repeal or modification of this Bylaw shall
only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect
at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is
the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation.

         (i)      Saving Clause. If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Director and executive officer to
the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Bylaw that
shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.

         (j)      Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Bylaw, the
following definitions shall apply:

                  (1)      The term "proceeding" shall be broadly construed and
shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution,
defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in,
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative.

                  (2)      The term "expenses" shall be broadly construed and
shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys' fees, witness fees,
fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses
of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding.

                  (3)      The term the "corporation" shall include, in addition
to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any
constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if
its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to
indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in

                                       19



the same position under the provisions of this Bylaw with respect to the
resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such
constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

                  (4)      References to a "director," "officer," "employee," or
"agent" of the corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where
such person is serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise.

                  (5)      References to "other enterprises" shall include
employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes
assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to
"serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on,
or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect
to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person
who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the
interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall
be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation" as referred to in this Bylaw.

                                  ARTICLE XII.

                                     NOTICES

         Section 43. Notices.

         (a)      Notice to Stockholders. Whenever, under any provisions of
these Bylaws, notice is required to be given to any stockholder, it shall be
given in writing, timely and duly deposited in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, and addressed to his last known post office address as shown by the
stock record of the corporation or its transfer agent.

         (b)      Notice to Directors. Any notice required to be given to any
Director may be given by the method stated in subsection (a), or by facsimile,
telex or telegram, except that such notice other than one which is delivered
personally shall be sent to such address as such Director shall have filed in
writing with the Secretary, or, in the absence of such filing, to the last known
post office address of such Director.

         (c)      Address Unknown. If no address of a stockholder or Director be
known, notice may be sent to the office of the corporation required to be
maintained pursuant to Section 2 hereof.

         (d)      Affidavit of Mailing. An affidavit of mailing, executed by a
duly authorized and competent employee of the corporation or its transfer agent
appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, specifying the name and
address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, or
Director or Directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and
the time and method of giving the same, shall be conclusive evidence of the
statements therein contained.

                                       20



         (e)      Time Notices Deemed Given. All notices given by mail, as above
provided, shall be deemed to have been given as at the time of mailing and all
notices given by facsimile, telex or telegram shall be deemed to have been given
as of the sending time recorded at time of transmission.

         (f)      Methods of Notice. It shall not be necessary that the same
method of giving notice be employed in respect of all Directors, but one
permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other
permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others.

         (g)      Failure to Receive Notice. The period or limitation of time
within which any stockholder may exercise any option or right, or enjoy any
privilege or benefit, or be required to act, or within which any Director may
exercise any power or right, or enjoy any privilege, pursuant to any notice sent
him in the manner above provided, shall not be affected or extended in any
manner by the failure of such stockholder or such Director to receive such
notice.

         (h)      Notice to Person with Whom Communication Is Unlawful. Whenever
notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or of the Certificate
of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, to any person with whom
communication is unlawful, the giving of 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. Any action or
meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom
communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice
had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is
such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate shall state, if such is the
fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to
receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

         (i)      Notice to Person with Undeliverable Address. Whenever notice
is required to be given, under any provision of law or the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, to any stockholder to whom (i)
notice of two consecutive annual meetings, and all notices of meetings or of the
taking of action by written consent without a meeting to such person during the
period between such two consecutive annual meetings, or (ii) all, and at least
two, payments (if sent by first class mail) of dividends or interest on
securities during a twelve month period, have been mailed addressed to such
person at his address as shown on the records of the Corporation and have been
returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be
required. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to
such person shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly
given. If any such person shall deliver to the corporation a written notice
setting forth his then current address, the requirement that notice be given to
such person shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the
corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any
provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate need not
state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be
given pursuant to this paragraph.

                                       21



                                 ARTICLE XIII.

                                   AMENDMENTS

         Section 44. Amendments. Except as otherwise set forth in paragraph (i)
of Section 42 of these Bylaws, these Bylaws may be amended or repealed and new
Bylaws adopted by the stockholders entitled to vote. The Board of Directors
shall also have the power, if such power is conferred upon the Board of
Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation, to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws
(including, without limitation, the amendment of any Bylaw setting forth the
number of Directors who shall constitute the whole Board of Directors).

                                  ARTICLE XIV.

                             RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

         Section 45. Right of First Refusal. No stockholder shall sell, assign,
pledge, or in any manner transfer any of the shares of stock of the corporation
or any right or interest therein, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, or
by gift or otherwise, except by a transfer which meets the requirements
hereinafter set forth in this Bylaw:

         (a)      If the stockholder receives from anyone a bona fide offer
acceptable to the stockholder to purchase any of his shares of stock, then the
stockholder shall first give written notice thereof to the corporation. The
notice shall name the proposed transferee and state the number of shares to be
transferred, the price per share and all other terms and conditions of the
offer.

         (b)      For fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice, the
corporation shall have the option to purchase all or any lesser part of the
shares specified in the notice at the price and upon the terms set forth in such
bona fide offer. In the event the corporation elects to purchase all the shares,
it shall give written notice to the selling stockholder of its election and
settlement for said shares shall be made as provided below in paragraph (d).

         (c)      In the event the corporation does not elect to acquire all of
the shares specified in the selling stockholder's notice, the Secretary of the
corporation shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of said selling
stockholder's notice, give written notice thereof to the stockholders of the
corporation other than the selling stockholder. Said written notice shall state
the number of shares that the corporation has elected to purchase and the number
of shares remaining available for purchase (which shall be the same as the
number contained in said selling stockholder's notice, less any such shares that
the corporation has elected to purchase). Each of the other stockholders shall
have the option to purchase that proportion of the shares available for purchase
as the number of shares owned by each of said other stockholders bears to the
total issued and outstanding shares of the corporation, excepting those shares
owned by the selling stockholder. A stockholder electing to exercise such option
shall, within ten (10) days after mailing of the corporation's notice, give
notice to the corporation specifying the number of shares such stockholder will
purchase. Within such ten-day period, each of said other stockholders shall give
written notice stating how many additional shares such stockholder will purchase
if additional shares are made available. Failure to respond in writing within
said ten-

                                       22



day period to the notice given by the Secretary of the corporation shall be
deemed a rejection of such stockholder's right to acquire a proportionate part
of the shares of the selling stockholder. In the event one or more stockholders
do not elect to acquire the shares available to them, said shares shall be
allocated on a pro rata basis to the stockholders who requested shares in
addition to their pro rata allotment.

         (d)      In the event the corporation and/or stockholders, other than
the selling stockholder, elect to acquire any of the shares of the selling
stockholder as specified in said selling stockholder's notice, the Secretary of
the corporation shall so notify the selling stockholder and settlement thereof
shall be made in cash within thirty (30) days after the Secretary of the
corporation receives said selling stockholder's notice; provided that if the
terms of payment set forth in said selling stockholder's notice were other than
cash against delivery, the corporation and/or its other stockholders shall pay
for said shares on the same terms and conditions set forth in said selling
stockholder's notice.

         (e)      In the event the corporation and/or its other stockholders do
not elect to acquire all of the shares specified in the selling stockholder's
notice, said selling stockholder may, within the sixty-day period following the
expiration of the option rights granted to the corporation and other
stockholders herein, sell elsewhere the shares specified in said selling
stockholder's notice which were not acquired by the corporation and/or its other
stockholders, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this bylaw,
provided that said sale shall not be on terms and conditions more favorable to
the purchaser than those contained in the bona fide offer set forth in said
selling stockholder's notice. All shares so sold by said selling stockholder
shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this Bylaw in the same manner
as before said transfer.

         (f)      Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the
following transactions shall be exempt from the provisions of this Bylaw:

                  (1)      A stockholder's transfer of any or all shares held
either during such stockholder's lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to
such stockholder's immediate family. "Immediate family" as used herein shall
mean spouse, lineal descendant, father, mother, brother, or sister of the
stockholder making such transfer and shall include any trust established
primarily for the benefit of the stockholder or his immediate family.

                  (2)      A stockholder's bona fide pledge or mortgage of any
shares with a commercial lending institution, provided that any subsequent
transfer of said shares by said institution shall be conducted in the manner set
forth in this Section 45.

                  (3)      A stockholder's transfer of any or all of such
stockholder's shares to the corporation or to any other stockholder of the
corporation.

                  (4)      A stockholder's transfer of any or all of such
stockholder's shares to a person who, at the time of such transfer, is an
officer or director of the corporation.

                  (5)      A corporate stockholder's transfer of any or all of
its shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of any merger,
consolidation, reclassification of

                                       23



shares or capital reorganization of the corporate stockholder, or pursuant to a
sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of a corporate
stockholder.

                  (6)      A corporate stockholder's transfer of any or all of
its shares to any or all of its stockholders.

                  (7)      A transfer by a stockholder which is a limited or
general partnership to any or all of its partners.

         In any such case, the transferee, assignee, or other recipient shall
receive and hold such stock subject to the provisions of this Bylaw, and there
shall be no further transfer of such stock except in accordance with this Bylaw.

         (g)      The provisions of this Section 45 may be waived with respect
to any transfer either by the corporation, upon duly authorized action of its
Board of Directors, or by the stockholders, upon the express written consent of
the owners of a majority of the voting power of the corporation (excluding the
votes represented by those shares to be sold by the selling stockholder). This
Section 45 may be amended or repealed either by a duly authorized action of the
Board of Directors or by the stockholders, upon the express vote or written
consent of the owners of a majority of the voting power of the corporation.

         (h)      Any sale or transfer, or purported sale or transfer, of
securities of the corporation shall be null and void unless the terms,
conditions, and provisions of this Bylaw are strictly observed and followed.

         (i)      The foregoing right of first refusal shall terminate on either
of the following dates, whichever shall first occur:

                  (1)      On April 18, 2004; or

                  (2)      Upon the date securities of the corporation are first
offered to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and
declared effective by, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

         (j)      The certificates representing shares of stock of the
corporation shall bear on their face the following legend so long as the
foregoing right of first refusal remains in effect:

     "The shares represented by this certificate are subject to a right of first
     refusal option in favor of the corporation and its other stockholders, as
     provided in the bylaws of the corporation."

         (k)      The provisions of this article shall not apply to the sale,
assignment, pledge, or transfer in any manner of any of the shares of the Series
C Preferred Stock of the corporation (or any shares of capital stock issued upon
the conversion thereof).

                                       24



                                  ARTICLE XV.

                                LOANS TO OFFICERS

         Section 46. Loans to Officers. The corporation may lend money to, or
guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee
of the corporation or of its subsidiaries, including any officer or employee who
is a Director of the corporation or its subsidiaries, whenever, in the judgment
of the Board of Directors, such loan, guarantee or assistance may reasonably be
expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guarantee 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 46 shall be deemed
to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation
at common law or under any statute.

                                  ARTICLE XVI.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         Section 47. Annual Report.

         (a)      Subject to the provisions of Section 47(b) below, the Board of
Directors shall cause an annual report to be sent to each stockholder of the
corporation not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of the
corporation's fiscal year. Such report shall include a balance sheet as of the
end of such fiscal year and an income statement and statement of changes in
financial position for such fiscal year, accompanied by any report thereon of
independent accounts or, if there is no such report, the certificate of an
authorized officer of the corporation that such statements were prepared without
audit from the books and records of the corporation. When there are more than
100 stockholders of record of the corporation's shares, as determined by Section
605 of the California Corporations Code, additional information as required by
Section 1501(b) of the California Corporations Code shall also be contained in
such report, provided that if the corporation has a class of securities
registered under Section 12 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of
1934, that Act shall take precedence. Such report shall be sent to stockholders
at least fifteen (15) days prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders
after the end of the fiscal year to which it relates.

         (b)      If and so long as there are fewer than 100 holders of record
of the corporation's shares, the requirement of sending of an annual report to
the stockholders of the corporation is hereby expressly waived.

                                       25
