Unless otherwise provided by law, the written notice of any
meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the
date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If
mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United
States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the shareholder at such shareholder's
address as it appears on the books of the corporation, or if no such address
appears or is given, at the place where the principal executive office of the
corporation is located, or by publication at least once in a newspaper of
general circulation in the county in which the principal executive office of the
corporation is located.
Section 1.4. Adjournments. Any meeting of shareholders, annual or
special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other
place, and notice need not be given of any such 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 45 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
shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 1.5. Quorum. At each meeting of shareholders, except
where otherwise provided by law or the articles of incorporation or these
by-laws, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of each class of
stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum. For purposes of the foregoing, two or more
classes or series of stock shall be considered a single class if the holders
thereof are entitled to vote together as a single class at the meeting. The
shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is
present may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the
withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, provided that any
action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the
shares required to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum the
shareholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to
time in the manner provided by Section 1.4 of these by-laws until a quorum shall
attend.
Section 1.6. Organization. Meetings of shareholders shall be
presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the absence of the
Chairman of the Board by the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the
absence of the Vice Chairman of the Board by the President, or in the absence of
the President by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by
a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such
designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary, or in the
absence of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of the
meeting, or in their absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person
to act as secretary of the meeting.
Section 1.7. Voting; Proxies. Unless otherwise provided in the
articles of incorporation, each shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such
shareholder which has voting power upon the
2
matter in question. Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of
shareholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such
shareholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after 11
months from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly
executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable, subject
to the provisions of Sections 705(e) and 705(f) of the California Corporations
Code. A shareholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending
the meeting and voting in person or by delivering an instrument in writing
revoking the proxy or by delivering another duly executed proxy bearing a later
date with the Secretary of the Corporation.
Directors shall, except as otherwise required by law or by the
articles of incorporation, be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a
meeting of shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the
election. With respect to other matters, unless otherwise provided by law or by
the articles of incorporation or these by-laws, the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares of all classes of stock present in person or
represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter
shall be the act of the shareholders, provided that (except as otherwise
required by law or by the articles of incorporation) the Board of Directors may
require a larger vote upon any such matter. Where a separate vote by class is
required, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of
each class present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the
act of such class, except as otherwise provided by law or by the articles of
incorporation or these by-laws.
Section 1.8. Inspectors. Voting at meetings of shareholders need
not be conducted by inspectors unless a shareholder present in person or by
proxy and entitled to vote at such meeting so requests. The Board of Directors,
in advance of any shareholders' meeting, may appoint inspectors to act at the
meeting or any adjournment thereof. The number of inspectors shall either be one
or three. If inspectors are not so appointed or if any persons so appointed fail
to appear or refuse to act, the chairman of any shareholders' meeting may, and
on the request of any shareholder or shareholder's proxy entitled to vote
thereat shall, appoint inspectors of election at the meeting.
If appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more
shareholders or proxies, the majority of the shares entitled to vote at that
meeting shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed.
Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and
sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with
strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.
The inspectors shall determine the number of shares outstanding
and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the
existence of a quorum and the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies, and
shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and
questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all
votes, ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper
to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. On request of
the person presiding at the meeting or any shareholder entitled to vote thereat,
the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or
matter determined by them and execute a certificate of any fact found by them.

Section 1.9. Fixing Date for Determination of Shareholders of
Record. In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof,
or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment
of any rights, or 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 shall not be
more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more
than sixty days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed: (1) 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 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; (2) 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 is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent
is expressed; and (3) the record date for determining shareholders for any other
purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts
the resolution relating thereto. 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 unless the Board fixes a new record date for the
adjourned meeting. However, the Board shall fix a new record date if the
adjournment is to a date more than 45 days after the date set for the original
meeting.
Section 1.10. List of Shareholders Entitled to Vote. The
Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten 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.
Such list shall be open to the examination of any shareholder, for any purpose
germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least
ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the
meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the
meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.
The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting
during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any shareholder who is
present.
Section 1.11. Consent of Shareholders in Lieu of Meeting. Unless
otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, any action required by law
to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation,
or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such
shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a
vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be
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.
Notice of any shareholder approval pursuant to Sections 310, 317, 1201 or 2007
of the California Corporations Code without a meeting by less than unanimous
written consent shall be given at least 10 days before the consummation of the
action authorized by such approval. Prompt notice in the form prescribed in
Section 1.3 of this Article I shall be given of the taking of any other
corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to
those shareholders who have not consented in writing.

affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the
Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided in these by-laws or in the
articles of incorporation. The Board shall consist of not less than two nor more
than three members. The exact number of directors shall be two until changed
within the specified limits by a by-law amending this section, duly adopted by
the Board of Directors or the shareholders. The maximum and minimum number of
directors may be changed only by a duly adopted amendment to the articles of
incorporation or by an amendment to this by-law approved by a majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote. Directors need not be shareholders.
Section 2.2. Election; Term of Office; Resignation; Removal;
Vacancies. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting of
shareholders next succeeding his or her election and until his or her successor
is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. Any
director may resign at any time upon written notice to the Board of Directors or
to the President or the Secretary of the Corporation. Such resignation shall
take effect at the time specified therein, and unless otherwise specified
therein no acceptance of such resignation shall be necessary to make it
effective. Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed without
cause by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an
election of directors; except that, no director may be removed without cause if
the votes cast against his or her removal or not consenting in writing to such
removal would be sufficient to elect such director if voted cumulatively at an
election of the entire Board at which the same total number of votes were cast
(or if action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote were
voted). Directors may also be removed pursuant to or by court order under
Sections 302 or 304 of the California Corporations Code.
A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist (a)
if a director dies, resigns, or is removed by the shareholders or an appropriate
court, as provided in Sections 303 or 304 of the California Corporations Code;
(b) if the Board of Directors declares vacant the office of a director who has
been convicted of a felony or declared of unsound mind by an order of court; (c)
if the authorized number of directors is increased; or (d) if at any
shareholders' meeting at which one or more directors are elected the
shareholders fail to elect the full authorized number of directors to be voted
for at that meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation
or these by-laws and except for a vacancy caused by the removal of a director,
vacancies may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although
less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director.
A vacancy on the Board caused by the removal of a director may be
filled only by the shareholders, except that a vacancy created when the Board
declares the office of a director vacant as provided in clause (b) of the first
paragraph of this section may be filled by the Board of Directors.
5
The shareholders may elect a director at any time to fill a
vacancy not filled by the Board of Directors.
The term of office of a director elected to fill a vacancy shall
run until the next annual meeting of the shareholders, and such a director shall
hold office until a successor is elected and qualified.
Section 2.3. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of
Directors may be held at such places within or without the State of California
and at such times as the Board may from time to time determine, and if so
determined notice thereof need not be given.

Directors may be held at any time or place within or without the State of

Chairman of the Board, if any, by the President or by any two directors. Special
meetings shall be held on four days' notice by mail or 48 hours' notice
delivered personally or by telephone or telegraph. Notice delivered personally
or by telephone may be transmitted to a person at the director's office who can
reasonably be expected to deliver such notice promptly to the director.
Section 2.5. Participation in Meetings by Conference Telephone
Permitted. Unless otherwise restricted by the articles of incorporation or these
by-laws, members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may
participate in a meeting of the Board or of such committee, as the case may be,
by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment so long as
all persons participating in the meeting can hear one another, and participation
in a meeting pursuant to this by-law shall constitute presence in person at such
meeting.
Section 2.6. Quorum; Vote Required for Action. At all meetings of
the Board of Directors one-third of the entire Board shall constitute a quorum
for the transaction of business. Subject to the provisions of Sections 310 and
317(e) of the California Corporations Code, the vote of a majority of the
directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of
the Board unless the articles of incorporation or these by-laws shall require a
vote of a greater number. In case at any meeting of the Board a quorum shall not
be present, the members of the Board present may adjourn the meeting from time
to time until a quorum shall attend.
Section 2.7. Organization. Meetings of the Board of Directors
shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the absence
of the Chairman of the Board by the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or in
the absence of the Vice Chairman of the Board by the President, or in their
absence by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary, or in the absence of
the Secretary an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but
in the absence of the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary the chairman of the
meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.
Section 2.8. Action by Directors Without a Meeting. Unless
otherwise restricted by the articles of incorporation or these by-laws, any
action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors, or any
committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members
6
of the Board or of such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in
writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings
of the Board or committee.
Section 2.9. Compensation of Directors. The Board of Directors
shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors for services in
any capacity.
ARTICLE III
Executive and Other Committees
Section 3.1. Executive and Other Committees of Directors. The
Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board, may
designate from among its members an executive committee and other committees,
each consisting of two or more directors, and each of which, to the extent
provided in the resolution, shall have all the authority of the Board, except
that no such committee shall have authority as to the following matters:
(1) The approval of any action for which the California
Corporations Code also requires the approval of the shareholders or of
the outstanding shares;
(2) The filling of vacancies in the Board or in any committee
thereof;
(3) The fixing of compensation of the directors for serving on
the Board or on any committee thereof;
(4) The amendment or repeal of the by-laws, or the adoption of
new by-laws;
(5) The amendment or repeal of any resolution of the Board which,
by its terms, shall not be so amendable or repealable;
(6) The making of distributions to shareholders, except at a rate
or in a periodic amount or within a price range determined by the Board
of Directors; or
(7) The appointment of other committees of the Board or of their
members.
The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as
alternate members of any such committee, who may replace any absent member or
members at any meeting of such committee.
Unless the Board of Directors otherwise provides, each committee
designated by the Board may adopt, amend and repeal rules for the conduct of its
business. In the absence of a provision by the Board of Directors or a provision
in the rules of such committee to the contrary, each committee shall conduct its
business in the same manner as the Board of Directors conducts its business
pursuant to Article II of these by-laws.
Each such committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of
Directors.

ARTICLE IV
Officers
Section 4.1. Officers; Election. As soon as practicable after the
annual meeting of shareholders in each year, the Board of Directors shall elect
a President, a Secretary and a Chief Financial Officer, and it may, if it so
determines, elect from among its members a Chairman of the Board and a Vice
Chairman of the Board. The Board may also elect one or more Vice Presidents, one
or more Assistant Vice Presidents, one or more Assistant Secretaries, one or
more Assistant Treasurers and such other officers as the Board may deem
desirable or appropriate and may give any of them such further designations or
alternate titles as it considered desirable. Any number of offices may be held

Except as otherwise provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors
electing any officer, each officer shall hold office until the first meeting of
the Board after the annual meeting of shareholders next succeeding his or her
election, and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his
or her earlier resignation or removal. Any officer may resign at any time upon
written notice to the Board or to the President or the Secretary of the
Corporation. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein,
and unless otherwise specified therein no acceptance of such resignation shall
be necessary to make it effective. The Board may remove any officer with or
without cause at any time. Any such removal shall be without prejudice to the
contractual rights of such officer, if any, with the Corporation, but the
election of an officer shall not of itself create contractual rights. Any
vacancy occurring in any office of the Corporation by death, resignation,
removal or otherwise may be filled for the unexpired portion of the term by the
Board at any regular or special meeting.
Section 4.3. Powers and Duties. The officers of the Corporation
shall have such powers and duties in the management of the Corporation as shall
be stated in these by-laws or in a resolution of the Board of Directors which is
not inconsistent with these by-laws and, to the extent not so stated, as
generally pertain to their respective offices, subject to the control of the
Board. The Secretary shall have the duty to record the proceedings of the
meetings of the shareholders, the Board of Directors and any committees in a
book to be kept for that purpose. The Board may require any officer, agent or
employee to give security for the faithful performance of his or her duties.
ARTICLE V
Forms of Certificates; Loss
and Transfer of Shares
Section 5.1. Forms of Certificates. Every holder of stock in the
Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by or in the name of
the Corporation by (1) either the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of

Financial Officer or a Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary, of the Corporation, certifying the number of shares
owned
8
by such holder in the Corporation. If such certificate is manually signed by one
officer or manually countersigned by a transfer agent or by a registrar, any
other signature on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer,
transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been
placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent
or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the
Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer
agent or registrar at the date of issue.
Section 5.2. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Stock Certificates;
Issuance of New Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new certificate of
stock in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have
been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the
lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner's legal representative, to
give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that
may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of
any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.
ARTICLE VI
Records and Reports
Section 6.1. Shareholder Records. The Corporation shall keep at
its principal executive office or at the office of its transfer agent or
registrar, as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors, a record of
the names and addresses of all shareholders and the number and class of shares
held by each shareholder.
A shareholder or shareholders holding at least five percent in
the aggregate of the outstanding voting shares of the Corporation may:
(a) Inspect and copy the record of shareholders' names and
addresses and shareholdings during usual business hours, on five days' prior
written demand on the corporation, or (b) obtain from the Corporation's transfer
agent, on written demand and tender of the transfer agent's usual charges for
this service, a list of the names and addresses of shareholders who are entitled
to vote for the election of directors, and their shareholdings, as of the most
recent record date for which a list has been compiled or as of a specified date
later than the date of demand. This list shall be made available within five
days after (i) the date of demand, or (ii) the specified later date as of which
the list is to be compiled. The record of shareholders shall also be open to
inspection on the written demand of any shareholder or holder of a voting trust
certificate, at any time during usual business hours, for a purpose reasonably
related to the holder's interests as a shareholder or holder of a voting trust
certificate. Any inspection and copying under this section may be made in person
or by an agent or attorney of the shareholder or holder of a voting trust
certificate making the demand.
Section 6.2. By-laws. The Corporation shall keep at its principal
executive office, or if its principal executive office is not in the State of
California, at its principal business office in this state, the original or a
copy of the bylaws as amended to date, which shall be open to inspection by the
shareholders at all reasonable times during office hours. If the principal
9
executive office of the Corporation is outside the State of California and the
Corporation has no principal business office in this state, the secretary shall,
upon the written request of any shareholder, furnish to that shareholder a copy
of the bylaws as amended to date.
Section 6.3. Minutes and Accounting Records. The minutes of
proceedings of the shareholders, the Board of Directors, and committees of the
Board, and the accounting books and records shall be kept at the principal
executive office of the Corporation, or at such other place or places as
designated by the Board of Directors. The minutes shall be kept in written form,
and the accounting books and records shall be kept either in written form or in
a form capable of being converted into written form. The minutes and accounting
books and records shall be open to inspection on the written demand of any
shareholder or holder of a voting trust certificate at any reasonable time
during usual business hours, for a purpose reasonably related to the holder's
interests as a shareholder or holder of a voting trust certificate. The
inspection may be made in person or by an agent or attorney, and shall include
the right to copy and make extracts. These rights of inspection shall extend to
the records of each subsidiary of the corporation.
Section 6.4. Inspection by Directors. Every director shall have
the absolute right at any reasonable time to inspect all books, records, and
documents of every kind and the physical properties of the corporation and each
of its subsidiary corporations. This inspection by a director may be made in
person or by an agent or attorney and the right of inspection includes the right
to copy and make extracts of documents.
Section 6.5. Annual Report to Shareholders. Inasmuch as, and for
as long as, there are fewer than 100 shareholders, the requirement of an annual
report to shareholders referred to in Section 1501 of the California
Corporations Code is expressly waived. However, nothing in this provision shall
be interpreted as prohibiting the Board of Directors from issuing annual or
other periodic reports to the shareholders, as the Board considers appropriate.
If at any time and for as long as, the number of shareholders
shall exceed 100 the Board of Directors shall cause an annual report to be sent
to the shareholders not later than 120 days after the close of the fiscal year
adopted by the Corporation. This report shall be sent at least 15 days (if third
class mail is used, 35 days) before the annual meeting of shareholders to be
held during the next fiscal year and in the manner specified for giving notice
to shareholders in these bylaws. The annual report shall contain a balance sheet
as of the end of the fiscal year and an income statement and a statement of
changes in financial position for the fiscal year prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis and
accompanied by any report of independent accountants, or, if there is no such
report, the certificate of an authorized officer of the Corporation that the
statements were prepared without audit from the Corporation's books and records.
Section 6.6. Financial Statements. The Corporation shall keep a
copy of each annual financial statement, quarterly or other periodic income
statement, and accompanying balance sheets prepared by the Corporation on file
in the corporation's principal executive office for 12 months; these documents
shall be exhibited at all reasonable times, or copies provided, to any
shareholder on demand.
10
If no annual report for the last fiscal year has been sent to
shareholders, on written request of any shareholder made more than 120 days
after the close of the fiscal year the Corporation shall deliver or mail to the
shareholder, within 30 days after receipt of the request, a balance sheet as of
the end of that fiscal year and an income statement and statement of changes in
financial condition for that fiscal year.
A shareholder or shareholders holding five percent or more of
the outstanding shares of any class of stock of the Corporation may request in
writing an income statement for the most recent three-month, six-month, or
nine-month period (ending more than 30 days before the date of the request) of
the current fiscal year, and a balance sheet of the corporation as of the end of
that period. If such documents are not already prepared, the Chief Financial
Officer shall cause them to be prepared and shall deliver the documents
personally or mail them to the requesting shareholders within 30 days after
receipt of the request. A balance sheet, income statement, and statement of
changes in financial position for the last fiscal year shall also be included,
unless the Corporation has sent the shareholders an annual report for the last
fiscal year.
Quarterly income statements and balance sheets referred to in
this section shall be accompanied by the report, if any, of independent
accountants engaged by the Corporation or the certificate of an authorized
corporate officer stating that the financial statements were prepared without
audit from the Corporation's records.
Section 6.7. Form of Records. Any records maintained by the
Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger,
books of account and minute books, may be kept on, or be in the form of, punch
cards, magnetic tape, photographs, microphotographs or any other information
storage device, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly
legible form within a reasonable time. The Corporation shall so convert any
records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect the same.
ARTICLE VII
Miscellaneous
Section 7.1. Principal Executive or Business Offices. The Board
of Directors shall fix the location of the principal executive office of the
Corporation at any place either within or without the State of California. If
the principal executive office is located outside California and the Corporation
has one or more business offices in California, the Board shall designate one of
these offices as the Corporation's principal business office in California.
Section 7.2. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation
shall be determined by the Board of Directors.
Section 7.3. Seal. The Corporation may have a corporate seal
which shall have the name of the Corporation inscribed thereon and shall be in
such form as may be approved
11
from time to time by the Board of Directors. The corporate seal may be used by
causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other
manner reproduced.
Section 7.4. Waiver of Notice of Meetings of Shareholders,
Directors and Committees. Whenever notice is required to be given by law or
under any provision of the articles of incorporation or these by-laws, a written
waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after
the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a
person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except
when the person attends a meeting for the sole and express purpose of objecting,
at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the
grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the
business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting
of the shareholders, the Board of Directors, or members of a committee of the
Board need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by
the articles of incorporation or these by-laws.

transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or
officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership,
association or other organization in which one or more of its 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 committee
thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or
her or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (1) the material facts as
to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are
disclosed or are known to the Board or the committee, and the Board or committee
in good faith authorizes, approves or ratifies 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, provided that the contract or
transaction is just and reasonable as to the Corporation at the time it was
authorized, approved or ratified; or (2) the material facts as to his or her
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
with the shares owned by the interested director or officer not being entitled
to vote thereon; 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,
a committee thereof or the shareholders. Common or interested directors may be
counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board or of
