         Section 5.   ANNUAL MEETING.

                (a)   The annual meeting of the stockholders of the
         corporation, 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. 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: (i) pursuant to the corporation's notice of







         meeting of stockholders; (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of
         Directors; or (iii) by any stockholder of the corporation who was a
         stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in
         the following paragraph, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and
         who complied with the notice procedures set forth in Section 5. (Del.
         Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 211(b)).

                (b)   At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such
         business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before
         the meeting. For nominations or other business to be properly brought
         before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of
         Section 5(a) of these Bylaws, (i) the stockholder must have given
         timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation,
         (ii) such other business must be a proper matter for stockholder action
         under the General Corporation Law of Delaware, (iii) if the
         stockholder, or the beneficial owner on whose behalf any such proposal
         or nomination is made, has provided the corporation with a Solicitation
         Notice (as defined in this Section 5(b)), such stockholder or
         beneficial owner must, in the case of a proposal, have delivered a
         proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage
         of the corporation's voting shares required under applicable law to
         carry any such proposal, or, in the case of a nomination or
         nominations, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to
         holders of a percentage of the corporation's voting shares reasonably
         believed by such stockholder or beneficial owner to be sufficient to
         elect the nominee or nominees proposed to be nominated by such
         stockholder, and must, in either case, have included in such materials
         the Solicitation Notice, and (iv) if no Solicitation Notice relating
         thereto has been timely provided pursuant to this section, the
         stockholder or beneficial owner proposing such business or nomination
         must not have solicited a number of proxies sufficient to have required
         the delivery of such a Solicitation Notice under this Section 5. 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 ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the
         close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) 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
         advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than
         thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the preceding year's annual
         meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered
         not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth
         (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close
         of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such
         annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which
         public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. 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 proposed 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 "1934 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


                                       2




         conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in
         such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on
         whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder
         giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf
         the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such
         stockholder, as they appear on the corporation's books, and of such
         beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of the
         corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such
         stockholder and such beneficial owner, and (iii) whether either such
         stockholder or beneficial owner intends to deliver a proxy statement
         and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of the proposal, at least
         the percentage of the corporation's voting shares required under
         applicable law to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination
         or nominations, a sufficient number of holders of the corporation's
         voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees (an affirmative
         statement of such intent, a "Solicitation Notice").

                (c)   Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of
         Section 5(b) of these Bylaws to the contrary, in the event that the
         number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the
         Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement naming all
         of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased
         Board of Directors made by the corporation at least one hundred (100)
         days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual
         meeting, a stockholder's notice required by this Section 5 shall also
         be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new
         positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the
         Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not
         later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the
         day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation.

                (d)   Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with
         the procedures set forth in this Section 5 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 Section 5. Except as
         otherwise provided by law, 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 these
         Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance
         with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or
         nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting
         and shall be disregarded.

                (e)   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
         Section 5, in order to include information with respect to a
         stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a
         stockholders' meeting, stockholders must provide notice as required by
         the regulations promulgated under the 1934 Act. Nothing in these Bylaws
         shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request
         inclusion of proposals in the corporation proxy statement pursuant to
         Rule l4a-8 under the 1934 Act.

                (f)   For purposes of this Section 5, "public announcement"
         shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News
         Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a
         document publicly filed by the corporation

                                       3





         with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14
         or 15(d) of the 1934 Act.

         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 of Directors, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer,
         (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 of Directors 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 the Board of Directors
         shall fix.

                (b)   If a special meeting is properly called by any person
         or persons other than the Board of Directors, the request shall be in
         writing, specifying 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 of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, or the
         Secretary of the corporation. No business may be transacted at such
         special meeting otherwise than specified in such notice. The Board of
         Directors shall determine the time and place of such special meeting,
         which shall be held not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than one
         hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the receipt of the request.
         Upon determination of the time and place of the meeting, the officer
         receiving the request shall cause notice to be given to the
         stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of
         Section 7 of these Bylaws. If the notice is not given within sixty (60)
         days after the receipt of the request, the person or persons properly
         requesting the meeting may set the time and place of the meeting and
         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 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. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss.ss. 222, 229)

         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


                                       4





stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be
adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairman of the meeting or 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 or
by applicable stock exchange or Nasdaq rules, or by the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of
directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or
represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote on the
subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise
provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, directors
shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or
represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote on the
election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is
required, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Certificate
of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such
class or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy duly
authorized, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to
that vote on that matter. Except where otherwise provided by statute or by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the
majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of the
outstanding shares of such class or classes or series present in person or
represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting shall be the act of such
class or classes or series. (Del. Code Am., tit. 8, ss. 216)

         Section 9.   ADJOURNMENT AND NOTICE OF ADJOURNED MEETINGS. Any meeting
of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time
either by the chairman of the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares
casting votes. 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. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8,
ss. 222 (c))

         Section 10.  VOTING RIGHTS. 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 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. 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 proxy granted in accordance
with Delaware law. 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. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss.ss. 211(e), 212(b))

         Section 11.  JOINT OWNERS OF STOCK. 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)


                                       5





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 Delaware General
Corporation Law, 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 subsection (c) shall be a majority or even-split
in interest. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 217(b))

         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. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8,
ss. 219(a))

         Section 13.  ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.

                (a)   Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of
         Incorporation, 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 in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be 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. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 228)

                (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


                                       6





         consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a
         meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the
         record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents
         signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take action were
         delivered to the corporation as provided in Section 228(c) of the
         Delaware General Corporation Law. If the action which is consented to
         is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any
         section of the Delaware General Corporation Law 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 consent has been given in accordance with
         Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

         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, 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 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 authorized number of
directors of the corporation shall be fixed by the Board of Directors from time
to time. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the
Certificate of Incorporation. If for any cause, the directors shall not have
been elected at an annual meeting, they may be elected as soon thereafter as
convenient. (Del. Code Ann., tit, 8, ss.ss. 141(b), 211(b), (c))



                                       7






         Section 16.  POWERS. The powers of the corporation shall be exercised,
its business conducted and its property controlled by the Board of Directors,
except as may be otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of
Incorporation. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 141(a))

         Section 17.  TERM OF DIRECTORS. Subject to the rights of the holders of
any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified
circumstances, directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders
for a term of one year. Each director shall serve until his successor is duly
elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal. No decrease in
the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the
term of any incumbent director.

         Section 18.  VACANCIES.

                (a)   Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of
         Incorporation, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from
         death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any
         newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number
         of directors shall, unless the Board of Directors determines by
         resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall
         be filled by stockholders, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a
         majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a
         quorum of the Board of Directors. Any director elected in accordance
         with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the
         full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred
         and until such director's successor shall have been elected and
         qualified. A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist
         under this Bylaw in the case of the death, removal or resignation of
         any director. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 223(a), (b)).

                (b)   If at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly
         created directorship, the directors then in office shall constitute
         less than a majority of the whole board (as constituted immediately
         prior to any such increase), the Delaware Court of Chancery may, upon
         application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten
         percent (10%) of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding
         having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an
         election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created
         directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then
         in offices as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by Section
         211 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (Del. Code Ann. tit. 8, ss.
         223(c)).

         Section 19.  RESIGNATION. Any director may resign at any time by
delivering his written resignation to the Secretary, such resignation to specify
whether it will be effective at a particular time, upon receipt by the Secretary
or at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. If no such specification is made,
it shall be deemed effective at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. When one
or more directors shall resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a
future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who
have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote
thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become
effective, and each Director so chosen shall hold office for the unexpired
portion of the term of the Director whose place shall be vacated and until his
successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8,
ss.ss. 141(b), 223(d))



                                       8






         Section 20.  REMOVAL. Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable
law, the Board of Directors or any director may be removed from office at any
time (1) with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
voting power of all then-outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation
entitled to vote at an election of directors or (ii) without cause by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all
then-outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation, entitled to vote at
an election of directors.

         Section 21. MEETINGS.

                (a)   ANNUAL MEETINGS. The annual meeting of the Board of
         Directors shall be held immediately before or after the annual meeting
         of stockholders and at the place where such meeting is held. No notice
         of an annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be necessary and
         such meeting shall be held for the purpose of electing officers and
         transacting such other business as may lawfully come before it.

         required for a regular meeting of the Board of Directors. (Del. Code
         Ann., tit. 8, ss. 141(g))

                (c)   SPECIAL MEETINGS. Unless otherwise restricted by the
         Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the Board of

         Directors, or of any committee thereof, may participate in a meeting 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 in a meeting by such means shall constitute
         presence in person at such meeting. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss.
         141(i))

                (e)   NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Notice of the time and place of
         all meetings of the Board of Directors shall be orally or in writing,

         lawfully called or convened. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 229)

         any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof,
         however called or noticed, or wherever held, shall be as valid as

                                       9





         a quorum be present and if, either before or after the meeting, each
         of the directors not present shall sign a written waiver of notice.
         All such waivers shall be filed with the corporate records or made a
         part of the minutes of the meeting. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 229)

         Section 22.  QUORUM AND VOTING.

                (a)   Unless the Certificate of Incorporation requires a
         greater number and except with respect to indemnification questions
         arising under Section 43 hereof, for which a quorum shall be one-third
         of the exact number of directors fixed from time to time, a quorum of
         the Board of Directors shall consist of a majority of the exact number
         of directors fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors in
         accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, at

         Section 23.  ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Unless otherwise restricted by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted
to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof

director from serving the corporation in any other capacity as an officer,
agent, employee, or otherwise and receiving compensation therefor. (Del. Code
Ann., tit. 8, ss. 141(h))

         Section 25.  COMMITTEES.

                (a)   EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The Board of Directors may
         appoint an Executive Committee to consist of one (1) or more members of
         the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee, to the extent
         permitted by law and provided in the resolution of the Board of
         Directors 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
         affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall
         have the power or authority in reference to (i) approving or adopting,
         or recommending to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly
         required

                                       10






         by the Delaware General Corporation Law to be submitted to
         stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopting, amending or repealing any
         bylaw of the corporation. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 141(c))

                (b)   OTHER COMMITTEES. The Board of Directors may, 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 the Board of Directors and shall have
         such powers and perform such duties as may be prescribed by the
         resolution or resolutions creating such committees, but in no event
         shall any such committee have the powers denied to the Executive
         Committee in these Bylaws. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 141(c))

                (c)   TERM. Each member of a committee of the Board of
         Directors shall serve a term on the committee coexistent with such
         member's term on the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors,
         subject to any requirements of any outstanding series of Preferred
         Stock, the provisions of subsections (a) or (b) of this Bylaw 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, ss. 141(c))

                (d)   MEETINGS. Unless the Board of Directors shall
         otherwise provide, regular meetings of the Executive Committee or any
         other committee appointed pursuant to this Section 25 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 constitute a quorum for the
         transaction of business, and the act of a majority of those present at
         any


                                       11






         meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such
         committee. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss.ss. 141(c), 229)

         Section 26.  ORGANIZATION. At every meeting of the directors, 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, (if a director) or, in the absence of any such person, a chairman of
the meeting chosen by a majority of the directors present, shall preside over
the meeting. The Secretary, or in his absence, any Assistant Secretary directed

required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to this section or
otherwise required by law or with respect to this section a statement that the
corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the
powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other
special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Except as
otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders
of certificates representing stock of the same class and series shall be
identical. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 158)

         Section 35.  LOST CERTIFICATES. A new certificate or certificates shall
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
an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be
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 agree to indemnify the corporation 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. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 167)

         Section 36.  TRANSFERS.

         Corporation Law. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 160 (a))

         Section 37.  FIXING RECORD DATES.

                (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 record date shall, subject to applicable
         law, 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 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. Any
         stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or
         take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to
         the Secretary, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date. The
         Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten (10)
         days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a
         resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by
         the Board of Directors within ten (10) days of the date on which such a
         request is received, 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
         applicable 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
         the 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.


                                       16





                (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. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 213)

         Section 38.  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.
(Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss.ss. 213(a), 219)

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.

         Section 40.  DECLARATION OF DIVIDENDS. Dividends upon the capital stock
of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation and applicable law, if any, may be declared by the Board of

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 43.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, OTHER
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS.

                (a)   DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. The corporation
         shall indemnify its directors and executive officers (for the purposes
         of this Article XI, "executive officers" shall have the meaning defined
         in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the 1934 Act) to the fullest extent not
         prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other
         applicable law; provided, however, that the corporation may modify 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 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, (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 or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is
         required to be made under subsection (d).

                                       18






                (b)   OTHER OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS. The
         corporation shall have power to indemnify other officers, employees and
         other agents as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law or
         any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power
         to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given
         to any such person except executive officers to such officers or other
         persons as the Board of Directors shall determine.

                (c)   EXPENSES. The corporation shall advance to any person
         who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
         threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
         civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact
         that he is or was a director or executive officer, of the corporation,
         or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or
         executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
         trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the
         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 to an executive
officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such executive
officer is or was a director of the corporation, in which event this paragraph
shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly
made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (ii) 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. In
         connection with any claim for indemnification, 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 or any other applicable law for the
         corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In
         connection with any claim by an executive officer of the corporation
         (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
         administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such



                                       19





         executive officer is or was a director of the corporation) for
         advances, the corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to
         any such action clear and convincing evidence 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, or with respect
         to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without
         reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful. 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 or any other applicable 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. In any suit brought by a director or executive
         officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of
         expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or
         executive officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such
         advancement of expenses, under this Article XI or otherwise shall be on
         the corporation.

                (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 applicable 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 or any other applicable 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, or any other applicable 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


                                       20





         applicable portion of this Bylaw that shall not have been invalidated,
         or by any other applicable law. If this Section 43 shall be invalid due
         to the application of the indemnification provisions of another
         jurisdiction, then the corporation shall indemnify each director and
         executive officer to the full extent under 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 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," "executive officer,"
                "officer," "employee," or "agent" of the corporation shall
                include, without limitation, situations where such person is
                serving at the request of the corporation as, respectively, a
                director, executive officer, 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


                                       21




                manner "not opposed to the best interests of the
                corporation" as referred to in this Bylaw.


                                  ARTICLE XII

                                     NOTICES

         Section 44.  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. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 222)

                (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 overnight delivery service, 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)   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 in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence
         of the facts therein contained. (Del. Code Ann., tit. 8, ss. 222)

                (d)   TIME NOTICES DEEMED GIVEN. All notices given by mail
         or by overnight delivery service, 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.

                (e)   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.

                (f)   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.


                                       22




                (g)   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.

                (h)   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, (Del. Code Ann, tit. 8, ss. 230).


                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                   AMENDMENTS

         Section 45.  AMENDMENTS. Subject to paragraph (h) of Section 43 of the
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), (Del Code Ann., tit. 8, ss.ss. 109(a),
122(6)).



                                       23







                                  ARTICLE XIV

                             RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

         Section 46.  RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. No stockholder shall sell, assign,
pledge, or in any manner transfer any of the shares of common 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 desires to sell or otherwise
         transfer any of his shares of common 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 proposed consideration, and all other terms and
         conditions of the proposed transfer.

                (b)   For thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice,
         the corporation shall have the option to purchase all (but not less
         than all) of the shares specified in the notice at the price and upon
         the terms set forth in such notice; provided, however, that, with the
         consent of the stockholder, the corporation shall have the option to
         purchase a lesser portion of the shares specified in said notice at the
         price and upon the terms set forth therein. In the event of a gift,
         property settlement or other transfer in which the proposed transferee
         is not paying the full price for the shares, and that is not otherwise
         exempted from the provisions of this Section 46, the price shall be
         deemed to be the fair market value of the stock at such time as
         determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. In the event the
         corporation elects to purchase all of the shares or, with consent of
         the stockholder, a lesser portion of the shares, it shall give written
         notice to the transferring stockholder of its election and settlement
         for said shares shall be made as provided below in paragraph (d).

                (c)   The corporation may assign its rights hereunder.

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

                (e)   In the event the corporation and/or its assignees(s)
         do not elect to acquire all of the shares specified in the transferring
         stockholder's notice, said transferring stockholder may, within the
         sixty-day period following the expiration of the option rights granted
         to the corporation and/or its assignees(s) herein, transfer the shares
         specified in said transferring stockholder's notice which were not
         acquired by the corporation and/or its assignees(s) as specified in
         said transferring stockholder's notice. All shares so sold by


                                       24





         said transferring 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 or to any
                custodian or trustee for the account of such stockholder or such
                stockholder's immediate family or to any limited partnership of
                which the stockholder, members of such stockholder's immediate
                family or any trust for the account of such stockholder or such
                stockholder's immediate family will be the general of limited
                partner(s) of such partnership. "Immediate family" as used
                herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant, father, mother,
                brother, or sister of the stockholder making such transfer.

                      (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 bylaw.

                      (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 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 or former
                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 accord with this bylaw.

                (g)   The provisions of this bylaw 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 transferred by the transferring stockholder). This bylaw may be
         amended or repealed


                                       25





         either by a duly authorized action of the 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.

                (h)   Any sale or transfer, or purported sale or transfer,
         of shares of common stock 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 August 16, 2010; or

                 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 common 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/OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S), AS PROVIDED IN THE BYLAWS OF THE
                CORPORATION."

guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee

         Section 48.  ANNUAL REPORT.

                (a)   Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this
         Bylaw, 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 CGCL,
         additional information as required by Section 1501(b) of the CGCL shall
         also be contained in such report, provided that if the corporation has
         a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, 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.
