Article 1 - Shareholders ------------------------ 1.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of shareholders shall be held at such place within or without the State of New York as may be designated from time to time by the board of directors or the president or, if not so designated, at the registered office of the corporation. 1.2 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of shareholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may be stated in the nature of meeting shall be held on such date and time as shall be designated from time to time by the board of directors and stated in the notice of meeting. If no annual meeting is held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the board of directors may call a special meeting to be held in lieu of the annual meeting, and any action taken at that special meeting shall have the same effect as if it had been taken at the annual meeting, and in such case all references in these Bylaws to the annual meeting of the shareholders shall be deemed to refer to such special meeting. 1.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of shareholders may be called at any time by the chairman of the board of directors or by the board of directors. A special meeting of shareholders shall be called by the chairman of the board of directors at the request in writing of the holders of not less than one-fourth (1/4) of all the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. Such request of shareholders for a special meeting shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of shareholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting. 1. 4 Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, written notice of each meeting of shareholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notices of all meetings shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting. The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. 1.5 Voting List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each shareholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each shareholder. 1.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of one third (1/3) of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. 1.7 Adjournments. Any meeting of shareholders may be adjourned to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of shareholders may be held under these Bylaws by the shareholders present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, although less than a quorum, or, if no shareholder is present, by any officer entitled to preside at or to act as secretary of such meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. 1.8 Voting and Proxies. Each shareholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote held of record by such shareholder and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. Each shareholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, may vote or express such consent or dissent in person or may authorize another person or persons to vote or act for him or her by written proxy executed by the shareholder or his or her authorized agent and delivered to the secretary of the Corporation. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if it is held by any person or the nominee of any person who is enumerated in Section 609(f) of the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York or successor provision. No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from the date of its execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period. 1.9 Action at a Meeting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the holders of a majority of the stock present or represented and voting on a matter (or if there are two or more classes of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class, the holders of a majority of the stock of that class present or represented and voting on a matter) shall decide any matter to be voted upon the shareholders at the meeting, except when a different vote is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws. Any election by shareholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote at the election. 1.10 Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares 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. ARTICLE 2 - Directors --------------------- 2.1 General Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a board of directors, who may exercise all of the powers of the Corporation except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. In the event of a vacancy on the board of directors, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, may exercise the powers of the full board of directors until the vacancy is filled. 2 2.2 Number; Election and Qualification. The number of directors that shall constitute the whole board of directors shall be determined by resolution of the shareholders or the board of directors, but in no event shall be less than one. The number of directors may be decreased at any time and from time to time either by the shareholders or by a majority of the directors then in office, but only to eliminate vacancies existing by reason of the death, resignation, removal or expiration of the term of one or more directors. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of shareholders by such shareholders as have the right to vote in such election. Directors need not be shareholders of the corporation. 2.3 Enlargement of the Board. The number of directors may be increased at any time and from time to time by the shareholders or by a majority of the directors then in office. 2.4 Tenure. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting and until such time as his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. 2.5 Vacancies. Unless and until filled by the shareholders, any vacancy in the board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office, and a director chosen to fill a position resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor is elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. 2.6 Resignation. Any director may resign by delivering his or her written resignation to the Corporation at its principal office or to the secretary. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event. 2.7 Regular Meeting. Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without notice at such time and place, either within or without the State of New York, as shall be determined from time to time by the board of directors, provided that any director who is absent when such a determination is made shall be given notice of the determination. A regular meeting of the board of directors may be held without notice immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of shareholders. 2.8 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be held at any time and place, within or without the State of New York, designated in a call by the chairman of the Board, president or two or more directors, or by one director in the event that there is only a single director in office. 2.9 Notice of Special Meetings. Notice of any special meeting of directors shall be given to each director by the secretary or one of the directors calling the meeting. Notice shall be duly given to each director (i) by giving notice to such director in person or by telephone at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting, (ii) by sending a telegram or telex, or delivering written 3 notice by hand to his last known business or home address at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting, or (iii) by mailing written notice to his last known business or home address at least 72 hours in advance of the meeting. A notice or waiver of notice of a meeting of the board of directors need not specify the purpose of the meeting. 2.10 Meetings by Telephone Conference Calls. Directors or any members of any committee designated by the directors may participate in a meeting of the board of directors or 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 participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. 2.11 Quorum. A majority of the whole board of directors shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the board of directors. In the event one or more of the directors shall be disqualified to vote at any meeting, then the required quorum shall be reduced by one for each such director so disqualified; provided, however, that in no case shall less than one-third (1/3) of the whole board of directors constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. 2.12 Action at Meeting. At any meeting of the board of directors at which a quorum is present, the vote of a majority of those present shall be sufficient to take any action, unless a different vote is specified by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. 2.13 Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors or of any committee of the board of directors may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the board of directors or committee, as the case may be, consent to the action in writing, and the written consents are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board of directors or committee. 2.14 Removal. Any one or more or all of the directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Any director may be removed for cause by the action of the directors at a special meeting called for that purpose. 2.15 Committees. The board of directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board of directors, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board 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. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members of the committee 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. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the board of directors and subject to the provisions of the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be 4 affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the shareholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the shareholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or amending the Bylaws of the Corporation; and, unless the resolution, Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation expressly so provides, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend, to authorize the issuance of stock or to adopt a certificate of ownership and merger. Each such committee shall keep minutes and make such reports as the board of directors may from time to time request. Except as the board of directors may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the directors or in such rules, its business shall be conducted as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided in these Bylaws for the board of directors. 2.16 Compensation of Directors. Directors may be paid such compensation for their services and such reimbursement for expenses of attendance at meetings as the board of directors may from time to time determine. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations in any other capacity and receiving compensation for such service.

Any officer may resign by delivering his written resignation to the Corporation at its principal office or to the president or secretary.

Any officer may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by vote of a majority of the entire number of directors then in office. Except as the board of directors may otherwise determine, no officer who resigns or is removed shall have any right to any compensation as an officer for any period following his resignation or removal, or any right to damages on account of such removal, whether his compensation be by the month or by the year or otherwise, unless such compensation is expressly provided in a duly authorized written agreement with the Corporation. 3.6 Vacancies. The board of directors may fill any vacancy occurring in any office for any reason and may, in its discretion, leave unfilled for such period as it may determine any offices other than those of president, treasurer and secretary.

Every holder of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, in such form as may be prescribed by law and by the board of directors, certifying the number and class of shares owned by him in the Corporation. Each such certificate shall be signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by the chairman or vice chairman, if any, of the board of directors, or the president or a vice president, and the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation.

The board of directors may fix in advance a date as a record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or to express consent (or dissent) to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action. Such record date shall not be more than 60 days prior to any other action to which such record date relates. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day before the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day before the day on which the meeting is held. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the date on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating to such purpose. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders 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. ARTICLE 5 - Indemnification --------------------------- The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York and the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended and supplemented from time to time.

The Corporation's obligation to provide indemnification under this Article shall be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the corporation or any other person.

If the notice is sent by first class mail or by telegraph, it shall be deemed to have been given to the person entitled thereto when deposited in the United States mail or with a telegraph office for transmission to such person. Such notice shall specify the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting of the shareholders, the general nature of the business to be transacted. 6.4 Waiver of Notice.

Except as the directors may otherwise designate, the president or treasurer may waive notice of, and act as, or appoint any person or persons to act as, proxy or attorney-in-fact for this Corporation (with or without power of substitution) at any meeting of shareholders of any other corporation or organization, the securities of which may be held by this Corporation. 6.6 Evidence of Authority. A certificate by the secretary, or an assistant secretary, or a temporary secretary, as to any action taken by the shareholders, directors, a committee or any officer or representative of the Corporation shall as to all persons who rely on the certificate in good faith be conclusive evidence of such action. 6.7 Certificate Incorporation. All references in these Bylaws to the Certificate of Incorporation shall be deemed to refer to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended and in effect from time to time. 6.8 Transactions with Interested Parties. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of the directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of the directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors that authorizes the contract or transaction or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: 10 (1) The material facts as to his relationship or interest as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorized the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; (2) The material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the shareholders; or (3) The contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors, a committee of the board of directors, or the shareholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee that authorizes the contract or transaction. 6.9 Severability. Any determination that any provision of these Bylaws is for any reason inapplicable, illegal or ineffective shall not affect or invalidate any other provision of these Bylaws. 6.10 Pronouns. All pronouns used in these Bylaws shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person or persons may require.

These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed or new Bylaws may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at any regular meeting of shareholders, or at any special meeting of shareholders, provided notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new Bylaws shall have been stated in the notice of such special meeting. 11 ADOPTED as of the 27th day of November, 2001. /s/ Jack Schwartzberg -------------------------- President ATTEST: /s/ Shraga David Aranoff - ---------------------------------- Secretary 12
