required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

of the sole director.

               Section 8. At all  meetings of the board a majority of the voting
power of all directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business
and the act of a majority of the voting  power of the  directors  present at any
meeting at which there is a quorum  shall be the act of the Board of  Directors,

majority  of the Board of  Directors,  designate  one or more  committees,  each
committee  to consist of one or more of the  directors of the  Corporation.  The
board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee,
who may  replace  any  absent  or  disqualified  member  at any  meeting  of the
committee.

               In the absence or  disqualification  of a member of a  committee,
the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not  disqualified  from

incorporation  or these bylaws,  the Board of Directors shall have the authority
to fix the compensation of directors.  The directors may be paid their expenses,
if any, of  attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid

summarized on the face or back of the certificate  which the  Corporation  shall
issue to  represent  such  class or series of stock;  provided  that,  except as
otherwise provided in section 202 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, in
lieu of the foregoing  requirements,  there may be set forth on the face or back
of the certificate  which the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or
series of stock, 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.

               Section 2. Any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be
facsimile.  In case any officer,  transfer  agent or registrar who has signed or
whose facsimile  signature has been placed upon a certificate  shall have ceased
to be such  officer,  transfer  agent or registrar  before such  certificate  is
issued,  it may be issued by the Corporation  with the same effect as if he were
such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

                                LOST CERTIFICATES

               Section 3. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or
certificates   to  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.  When authorizing such
issue of a new certificate or  certificates,  the Board of Directors may, in its
discretion  and as a condition  precedent to the issuance  thereof,  require the
owner of such lost,  stolen or destroyed  certificate  or  certificates,  or his
legal  representative,  to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require
and/or to give the  Corporation a bond in such sum 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.

                                TRANSFER OF STOCK

               Section 4. Unless  otherwise  restricted by the  certificates  of
incorporation or these bylaws, upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer
agent  of  the  Corporation  of  a  certificate  for  shares  duly  endorsed  or
accompanied  by proper  evidence of  succession,  assignation  or  authority  to
transfer,  it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to
the  person  entitled  thereto,  cancel  the  old  certificate  and  record  the
transaction upon its books.

                               FIXING RECORD DATE

               Section  5. In  order  that the  Corporation  may  determine  the
stockholders  entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of  stockholder or
any adjournment  thereof,  or entitled to express consent to corporate action in
other  distribution  or  allotment  of any rights,  or entitled to exercise  any
rights in respect to any  change,  conversion  or  exchange  of stock or for the
purpose of any other lawful action,  the Board of Directors may fix, in advance,
a record  date,  which  shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10)
days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any
other action. 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.

                             REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS

               Section 6. 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 to hold liable for calls and
assessments  a person  registered  on its books as the owner of shares 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 the
State of Delaware.

                                   ARTICLE VII

               Section 1. Dividends  upon the capital stock of the  Corporation,
subject to the provisions of the  certificate of  incorporation,  if any, may be
declared by the Board of Directors at any regular or special  meeting,  pursuant
to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property,  or in shares of the capital
stock, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation.

               Section 2. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside
out of any funds of the Corporation  available for dividends such sum of sums as
the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion,  deem proper as a
reserve or reserves to meet contingencies,  or for equalizing dividends,  or for
repairing  or  maintaining  any property of the  Corporation,  or for such other
purposes  as  the  directors  shall  think  conducive  to  the  interest  of the
Corporation,  and the  directors  may modify or abolish any such  reserve in the
manner in which it was created.

causing it or a facsimile  thereof to be impressed or affixed or  reproduced  or
otherwise.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

               Section  6.  The   Corporation   shall,  to  the  fullest  extent
authorized under the laws of the State of Delaware, as those laws may be amended
to be  made,  a party to an  action  or  proceeding,  whether  criminal,  civil,
administrative  or  investigative,   by  reason  of  being  a  director  of  the
Corporation or a predecessor  corporation or, at the  Corporation's  request,  a
director  or  officer  of  another  Corporation;  provided,  however,  that  the
Corporation  shall  indemnify  any such agent in  connection  with a  proceeding
initiated by such agent only if such  proceeding  was authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. The indemnification provided for in this Section 6
shall:  (i)  not be  deemed  exclusive  of  any  other  rights  to  which  those
indemnified  may be entitled under any bylaw,  agreement or vote of stockholders
or  disinterested  directors or otherwise,  both as to action in their  official
capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding such office,  (ii)
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,  and (iii) inure to the
benefit  of the  heirs,  executors  and  administrators  of such a  person.  The
Corporation's  obligation to provide  indemnification under this Section 6 shall
be offset to the extent of any other source of  indemnification or any otherwise
applicable  insurance  coverage under a policy  maintained by the Corporation or
any other person.

                                      -12-




               Expenses incurred by a director of the Corporation in defending a
civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director of the Corporation (or was serving at the  Corporation's  request
as a  director  or  officer  of  another  corporation)  shall  be  paid  by  the
Corporation  in  advance  of the  final  disposition  of  such  action,  suit or
proceeding  upon receipt of an  undertaking  by or on behalf of such director to
repay such amount if it shall  ultimately be determined  that he is not entitled
to be indemnified by the  Corporation as authorized by relevant  sections of the
General  Corporation  Law  of  Delaware.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the
Corporation  shall not be required to advance such expenses to an agent who is a
party to an action,  suit or proceeding  brought by the Corporation and approved
by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation which alleges willful
misappropriation  of corporate assets by such agent,  disclosure of confidential
information in violation of such agent's fiduciary or contractual obligations to
the Corporation or any other willful and deliberate  breach in bad faith of such
agent's duty to the Corporation or its stockholders.

               The foregoing  provisions of this Section 6 shall be deemed to be
a contract between the Corporation and each director who serves in such capacity
at any time  while  this  bylaw is in  effect,  and any  repeal or  modification
thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to
any  state  of  facts  then  or  theretofore  existing  or any  action,  suit or
proceeding  theretofore or thereafter brought based in whole or in part upon any
such state of facts.

               The Board of  Directors  in its  discretion  shall  have power on
behalf of the Corporation to indemnify any person, other than a director, made a
party to any  action,  suit or  proceeding  by reason  of the fact that he,  his
testator or interstate, is or was an officer or employee of the Corporation.

               To assure  indemnification under this Section 6 of all directors,
officers and employees who are determined by the  Corporation or otherwise to be
or to have been  "fiduciaries"  of any employee  benefit plan of the Corporation
which may exist from time to time, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware  shall,  for the purposes of this Section 6, be interpreted as follows:
an "other  enterprise" shall be deemed to include such an employee benefit plan,
including without  limitation,  any plan of the Corporation which is governed by
the Act of Congress entitled "Employee  Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,"
as amended from time to time; the Corporation  shall be deemed to have requested
a person to serve an employee  benefit plan where the performance by such person
of his duties to the Corporation  also imposes duties on, or otherwise  involves
services by, such person to the plan or  participants  or  beneficiaries  of the
plan; excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan
pursuant to such Act of Congress shall be deemed "fines."

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                   AMENDMENTS

               Section 1. These  bylaws may be  altered,  amended or repealed or
new bylaws may be adopted by the  stockholders as provided in the certificate of
incorporation  or by the Board of Directors,  when such power is conferred  upon
the Board of  Directors  by the  certificate  of  incorporation,  at any regular
meeting  of the  stockholders  or of the Board of  Directors  or at any  special
meeting  of the  stockholders  or of the  Board of  Directors  if notice of such
alteration,  amendment,  repeal or  adoption of new bylaws be  contained  in the
notice of such special meeting. If the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws is
conferred  upon the Board of Directors by the  certificate of  incorporation  it
shall  not  divest or limit the  power of the  stockholders  to adopt,  amend or
repeal bylaws as provided in the certificate of incorporation.
