purpose or purposes prescribed in the notice of the meeting may be called at any
time by the Board of Directors (by action taken by a majority of the total
number of directors) or by the President of the Corporation. A special meeting
of the stockholders shall also be called by the President of the Corporation
upon the written request, stating the date, time, place and purpose or purposes
of the meeting, of stockholders who together own of record a majority of the
outstanding stock of all classes entitled to vote at such meeting.

      Section 4. Action Without Meeting by Stockholders. Any action required to
be taken or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders
of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and
without a vote, if a consent or consents 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. Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by
less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who
have not consented in writing.



      Section 5. Notice of Meeting. Written notice of every meeting of
stockholders, stating the place, date and hour where it is to be held, and, in

President of the Corporation by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, to each
stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting not less than
ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for such meeting,
except as may otherwise be provided in these Bylaws, the Certificate of
Incorporation or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware from time
to time in effect. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to have been given
when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each
stockholder at his, her or its address as it appears on the books of the

notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, date and time
thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken;
provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty
(30) days after the date of the meeting for which notice was originally given,
or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of

represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of any
business. In the absence of a quorum, a majority in interest of the stockholders
present who are entitled at any time to vote or the chairman of the meeting may
adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present. The
stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact
business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of the holders of a
sufficient number of shares entitled to vote at the meeting to leave less than a
quorum then present at the meeting.

      Section 7. Record Date. 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, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in
respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of
any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the
record date for any such determination of stockholders, which date, unless
otherwise provided by law, 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 such action. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the
record date for determining stockholders (i) 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; (ii) entitled to express consent to the corporate action in writing
without a meeting when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary,
shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed; and (iii) for
any other purpose, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the
Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. When a determination
of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as
provided in this Section 7, such determination shall apply to

                                       2


any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors, in its discretion,
determines to fix a new record date with respect to the adjourned meeting.

      Section 8. Voting of Shares; Proxies. Except as otherwise provided by law
or by the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder of record having the
right to vote shall be entitled at every meeting of the stockholders of the
Corporation to one vote for each share of stock having voting power and standing
in the name of such stockholder on the books of the Corporation and such votes
may be cast either in person or by written proxy. Every proxy must be executed
in writing by the stockholder or by his, her or its duly authorized attorney.
Each proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the
time of the meeting. All voting, except on the election of directors and where
otherwise required by law, may be by voice vote; provided, however, that upon
demand therefor by a stockholder entitled to vote or by his, her or its proxy, a
stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by ballots, each of
which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other
information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting.
Every vote taken by ballots shall be counted by an inspector or inspectors
appointed by the chairman of the meeting.

      Section 9. Vote Required. At any meeting duly called and held for the
election of directors at which a quorum is present, directors shall be elected
by a plurality of the votes cast, and except as otherwise required by law or the
Certificate of Incorporation, all other matters shall be determined by a
majority of the votes cast at such meeting by the holders of outstanding shares
of stock of all classes of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon who
are present in person or by proxy and who cast their votes with respect to such
matter.

      Section 10. Waiver of Notice. Except as otherwise required by law or the
Certificate of Incorporation, any stockholder may at any time waive any or all
notice to him, her or it of any meeting of stockholders by delivering to the
Corporation a writing to that effect signed by him, her or it either before or
after the meeting, and the presence of any stockholder in person or by proxy at
a meeting of stockholders shall constitute waiver by him, her or it of notice of
the meeting, except when the person 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.

committee of the Board by delivering to the Corporation a writing to that effect

new certificate or certificates under such circumstances, the Board of Directors
(or any transfer agent of the Corporation authorized to do so by resolution of
