               (A) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

                   (1)  Nominations of persons for election to the Board of
Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by
the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant
to the Corporation's notice of meeting pursuant to Section 2.4 of these By-Laws,
(b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the
Nominating Committee or otherwise or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation
who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in
this By-Law, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the
notice procedures set forth in this By-Law.

                   (2)  For nominations or other business to be properly brought
before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph
(A)(1) of this By-Law, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in
writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must
otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a
stockholder's notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal
executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the
90th calendar day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th calendar
day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting;
provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more
than 30 calendar days before or more than 60 calendar days after such
anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered
not earlier than the close of business on the 120th calendar day prior to such
annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th
calendar day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th calendar day following the
calendar day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first
made by the Corporation. In no event shall the public announcement of an
adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a
stockholder's notice as described above. Such stockholder's notice shall set
forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for
election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person
that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of
directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case
pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act") and Rule 14a-11 thereunder (including such person's written
consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a
director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes
to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be
brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the
meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the
beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and as to the
stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf
the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder,
as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii)
the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially
and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.

                                      -3-



               (3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph
(A)(2) of this By-Law to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors
to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and
there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees
for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least
100 calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual
meeting, a stockholder's notice required by this By-Law shall also be considered
timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such
increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th
calendar day following the day on which such public announcement is first made
by the Corporation.

         (B)   Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be
conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before
the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting under Section 2.4 of
these By-Laws. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may
be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be
elected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (a) by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors, (b) provided that the Board of Directors
has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any
stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of
giving of notice provided for in this By-Law, who shall be entitled to vote at
the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this
By-Law. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for
the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any
stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election
to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting pursuant
to such clause (b), if the stockholder's notice required by paragraph (A)(2) of
this By-Law shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th
calendar day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of
business on the later of the 90th calendar day prior to such special meeting or
the 10th calendar day following the day on which public announcement is first
made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the
Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public
announcement of an adjournment of a special meeting commence a new time period
for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described above.

         (C)   General.

               (1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this By-Law shall be eligible to serve as directors
and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall
have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth
in this By-Law. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of
Incorporation or these By-Laws, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power
and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be
brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law and, if any proposed
nomination or

                                      -4-



business is not in compliance with this By-Law, to declare that such defective
proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

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

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

Stock Designation, or these By-Laws, in all matters other than the election of
directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares
present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on
the matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

            Section 2.9. Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls.
The Board of Directors by resolution shall appoint, or shall authorize an
officer of the Corporation to appoint, one or more inspectors, which inspector

representatives, to act at the meetings of stockholders and make a written

the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each
inspector, before discharging such person's duties, shall take and sign an oath
faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and
according to the best of such person's ability. The inspector(s) shall have the
duties prescribed by law. The Chairman of the meeting shall fix and announce at
the meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for

originally elected for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of
stockholders, and another class to be originally elected for a term expiring at
the third annual meeting of stockholders, with each class to hold office until

of stockholders, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms then
expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding

Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal
or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board

Corporation. Any such committee may to the extent permitted by law exercise such
powers and shall have such responsibilities as shall be specified in the

committees may include:

               (b) Nominating Governance Committee. The Board of Directors may

of Directors regarding the Corporation's compensation program.

               (e) A majority of any committee may determine its action and fix
the time and place of its meetings, unless otherwise provided herein or the
Board shall otherwise provide. Notice of such meetings shall be given to each
member of the committee in the manner provided for in Section 3.5 of these
By-Laws. The Board shall have power at any time to change the powers,

permitted by law. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Board from
appointing one or more committees consisting in whole or in part of persons who
are not directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that no such committee
shall have or may exercise any authority of the Board.

               Section 3.11. Removal. Subject to the rights of any class or
series of stock having the right under a Preferred Stock Designation to elect

               Section 5.1.  Stock Certificates and Transfers. The interest of
each stockholder of the Corporation shall be evidenced by certificates for
shares of stock in such form as the appropriate officers of the Corporation may
from time to time prescribe. The shares of the stock of the Corporation shall be
transferred on the books of the Corporation by the holder thereof in person or
by such person's attorney, upon surrender for cancellation of certificates for
at least the same number of shares, with an assignment and power of transfer
endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof of the
authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably
require. 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 (if there be such an officer appointed), or by the Chief Executive
Officer, the President or any Vice-President and by the Treasurer or assistant
treasurer or the Secretary or assistant secretary. Any or all of the signatures
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 has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before
such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same
effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of
issue. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions regarding share certificates,
the proper officers of the Corporation may provide that some or all of any or
all classes or series of the Corporation's common or any preferred shares may be
uncertificated shares.

               Section 5.2.  Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. No
certificate for shares of stock in the Corporation shall be issued in place of
any certificate alleged to have been lost, destroyed or stolen, except on
production of such evidence of such loss, destruction or theft and on delivery

secured by such surety, as the Board of Directors or any financial officer may
in its or such person's discretion require.

be given to any stockholder or director of the Corporation under the provisions
of the DGCL or these By-Laws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person
or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated
therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Neither the
business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting
of the stockholders or the Board of Directors or committee thereof need be
specified in any waiver of notice of such meeting.

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

               Section 6.6. Resignations. Any director or any officer, whether
elected or appointed, may resign at any time by giving written notice of such
resignation to the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary, and such
resignation shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the
date said notice is received by the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary, or
at such later time as is specified therein. No formal action shall be required
of the Board of Directors or the stockholders to make any such resignation
effective.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                            Contracts, Proxies, Etc.

               Section 7.1. Contracts. Except as otherwise required by law, the
Certificate of Incorporation, a Preferred Stock Designation, or these By-Laws,
any contracts or other instruments may be executed and delivered in the name and
on the behalf of the Corporation by such officer or officers of the Corporation
as the Board of Directors may from time to time direct. Such authority may be
general or confined to specific instances as the Board may determine. The Chief
Executive Officer, the President or any Senior Vice President, Executive Vice
President or Vice President may execute bonds, contracts, deeds, leases and
other instruments to be made or executed for or on behalf of the Corporation.
Subject to any restrictions imposed by the Board of Directors, the Chief
Executive Officer or the President, any Senior Vice President, Executive Vice
President or Vice President of the Corporation may delegate contractual powers
to others under such person's jurisdiction, it being understood, however, that
any such delegation of power shall not relieve such officer of responsibility
with respect to the exercise of such delegated power.

                                      -13-



               Section 7.2. Proxies. Unless otherwise provided by resolution
adopted by the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or
any Senior Vice President, Executive Vice President or Vice President may from
time to time appoint an attorney or attorneys or agent or agents of the
Corporation, in the name and on behalf of the Corporation, to cast the votes
which the Corporation may be entitled to cast as the holder of stock or other
securities in any other Corporation, any of whose stock or other securities may
be held by the Corporation, at meetings of the holders of the stock or other
securities of such other Corporation, or to consent in writing, in the name of
the Corporation as such holder, to any action by such other Corporation, and may
instruct the person or persons so appointed as to the manner of casting such
votes or giving such consent, and may execute or cause to be executed in the
name and on behalf of the Corporation and under its corporate seal or otherwise,
all such written proxies or other instruments as he may deem necessary or proper
in the premises.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of
