                                  "ARTICLE III

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

                  SECTION 3.02 Number, Qualification, and Term of Office. The
         number of directors shall be ten (10); provided, however, that the
         number of directors may be increased in the event of certain specified
         arrearages in the payment of dividends on the $1.00 Cumulative
         Preferred Stock of the Corporation, such increases to be in the number,
         for the period of time effected in the manner, prescribed in the
         Certificate of Incorporation. Directors need not be stockholders. Each
         of the directors of the Corporation shall hold office until the annual
         meeting of stockholders held next after his election and until his
         successor shall have been duly elected and shall qualify, or until his
         death in office, or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in

                              THE TITAN CORPORATION

                              AMENDMENTS TO BY-LAWS

         On March 22, 2000 the Board of Directors approved the following
amendments to the Bylaws:

                                   ARTICLE II

                            MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

                  SECTION 2.06 Voting.

                  (c) any such voting rights may be exercised by the stockholder
         entitled thereto in person or by his proxy appointed by an instrument
         in writing, telephone, Internet or such other electronic means
         generally used for such purposes, subscribed by such stockholder or by
         his attorney thereunto authorized and delivered to the secretary of the
         meeting; provided, however, that no proxy shall be voted or acted upon
         after three years



         from its date unless said proxy shall provide for a longer period. The
         attendance at any meeting of a stockholder who may theretofore have
         given a proxy shall not have the effect of revoking the same unless he
         shall in writing so notify the secretary of the meeting prior to the
         voting of such proxy. At any meeting of the stockholders all matters,
         except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws or by law, shall be
         decided by the vote of a majority in voting interest of the
         stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat
         and thereon, a quorum being present. The vote at any meeting of the
         stockholders on any question need not be by ballot, unless so directed
         by the chairman of the meeting. On a vote by ballot each ballot shall
         be signed by the stockholder voting or by his proxy, if there be such a
         proxy, and it shall state the number of shares voted.

         Article II of the By-Laws shall remain the same in all other respects.

         On February 17, 2000 the Board of Directors approved the following
amendments to the Bylaws

                  1. Article III, Section 3.02 of the By-Laws is hereby amended
         to read in its entirety as follows:

                                   ARTICLE III

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

                  SECTION 3.02 Number, Qualification, and Term of Office. The
         number of directors shall be nine (9); provided, however, that the
         number of directors may he increased in the event of certain specified
         arrearages in the payment of dividends on the $1.00 Cumulative
         Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation, such increases to be in
         the number, for the period of time effected in the manner, prescribed
         in the Certificate of Incorporation. Directors need not be
         stockholders. Each of the directors of the Corporation shall hold
         office until the annual meeting of stockholders held next after his
         election and until his successor shall have been duly elected and shall
         qualify, or until his death in office, or until he shall resign or
         shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided.

                  2. Article III of the By-Laws shall remain the same in all
         other respects.

                  3. Article VIII of the By-Laws is hereby amended to read in
         its entirety as follows:

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

                  Section 8.01 Indemnification and Insurance. (a) Each person
         who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is
         involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
         administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason
         of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal
         representative is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is
         or was serving

2



         at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or
         agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust
         or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit
         plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation, whether the basis of
         such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a
         director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while
         serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified
         and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized
         by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same
         exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such
         amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the
         Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law
         permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against
         all expense, liability and loss including attorneys' fees, judgments,
         fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid
         in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in
         connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a
         person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and
         shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and
         administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in paragraph
         (c) of this By-Law, the Corporation shall indemnity any such person
         seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part
         thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part
         thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to
         indemnification conferred in this By-Law shall be a contract right and
         shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses
         incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
         disposition, such advances to be paid by the Corporation within 20 days
         after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from
         the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time;
         provided, however, that if the General Corporation Law of the State of
         Delaware requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director
         or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in
         any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person
         while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to
         an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a
         proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an
         undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all
         amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such
         director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this By-Law
         or otherwise.

                  (b) To obtain indemnification under this By-Law, a claimant
         shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including, therein
         or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably
         available to the claimant and is reasonably necessary to determine
         whether and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification.
         Upon written request by a claimant for indemnification pursuant to the
         first sentence of this paragraph (b), a determination, if required by
         applicable law, with respect to the claimant's entitlement thereto
         shall be made as follows: (1) if requested by the claimant, by
         Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (2) if no request is
         made by the claimant for a determination by Independent Counsel, (i) by
         the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
         Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) if a quorum
         of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not
         obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested
         Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to
         the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall

3



         be delivered to the claimant, or (iii) if a quorum of Disinterested
         Directors so directs, by the stockholders of the Corporation. In the
         event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made
         by Independent Counsel at the request of the claimant, the Independent
         Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors unless there shall
         have occurred within two years prior to the date of the commencement of
         the action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is claimed a
         "Change of Control," as defined in the Change of Control Employment
         Agreement dated March 2000 between the Corporation and certain senior
         executives, in which case the Independent Counsel shall be selected by
         the claimant unless the claimant shall request that such selection be
         made by the Board of Directors. If it is so determined that the
         claimant is entitled to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall
         be made within 10 days after such determination.

                  (c) If a claim under paragraph (a) of this By-Law is not paid
         in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim
         pursuant to paragraph (b) of this By-Law has been received by the
         Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against
         the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if
         successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be
         paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense
         to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for
         expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
         disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has
         been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the
         standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the General
         Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the Corporation to
         indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of
         proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure
         of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, Independent
         Counsel or 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 or she has met the applicable
         standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the
         State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the Corporation
         (including its Board of Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders)
         that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct,
         shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the
         claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

                  (d) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to
         paragraph (b) of this By-Law that the claimant is entitled to
         indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination
         in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
         By-Law.

                  (e) The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any
         judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph (c) of this By-Law
         that the procedures and presumptions of this By-Law are not valid,
         binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the
         Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this By-Law.

                  (f) The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses
         incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition
         conferred in this By-Law shall not be exclusive of any other right
         which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute,
         provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, agreement, vote
         of

4



         stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise. No repeal or
         modification of this By-Law shall in any way diminish or adversely
         affect the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of the
         Corporation hereunder in respect of any occurrence or matter arising
         prior to any such repeal or modification.

                  (g) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to
         protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
         Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
         or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or
         not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person
         against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation
         Law of the State of Delaware. To the extent that the Corporation
         maintains any policy or policies providing such insurance, each such
         director or officer, and each such agent or employee to which rights to
         indemnification have been granted as provided in paragraph (h) of this
         By-Law, shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with
         its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage thereunder for
         any such director, officer, employee or agent.

                  (h) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to
         time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and
         rights to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending
         any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any employee or
         agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of
         this By-Law with respect to the indemnification and advancement of
         expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

                  (i) If any provision or provisions of this By-Law shall be
         held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever:
         (1) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
         provisions of this By-Law (including, without limitation, each portion
         if any paragraph of this By-Law containing any such provision held to
         be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be
         invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or
         impaired thereby; and (2) to the fullest extent possible, the
         provisions of this By-Law (including, without limitation, each such
         portion of any paragraph of this By-Law containing any such provision
         held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as
         to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid,
         illegal or unenforceable.

                  Section 8.02 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this By-Law:

                  (a) "Disinterested Director" means a director of the
         Corporation who is not and was not a party to the matter in respect of
         which indemnification is sought by the claimant.

                  (b) "Independent Counsel" means a law firm, a member of a law
         firm, or an independent practitioner, that is experienced in matters of
         corporation law and shall include any person who, under the applicable
         standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would not have a
         conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or the
         claimant in an action to determine the claimant's rights under this
         By-Law.

                  Section 8.03 Written Communication Required. Any notice,
         request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the
         Corporation under this By-Law shall be in writing and either delivered
         in person or sent by telecopy, telex, telegram, overnight mail or
         courier service, or certified or registered mail, postage prepaid,
         return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Corporation and shall

         Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation, such increases to be in
         the number, for the period of time effected in the manner, prescribed
         in the Certificate of Incorporation. Directors need not be
         stockholders. Each of the directors of the Corporation shall hold

         as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
         notice of and to vote at such meeting, or

                  (ii) if no such record date shall have been so fixed, then (a)
         at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which
         notice of the meeting shall be given or (b) if notice of the meeting
         shall be waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the
         day on which the meeting shall be held.

         (b) Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation shall not be
entitled to vote. Persons holding in a fiduciary capacity stock of the
Corporation shall be entitled to vote such stock so held. A person whose stock
is pledged shall be entitled to vote such stock, unless in the transfer by the
pledgor on the books of the Corporation he shall have expressly empowered

2



the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or his proxy, may
represent such stock and vote thereon. Stock having voting power standing of
record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a
partnership, joint tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or
with respect to which two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship,
shall be voted in accordance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware.

         (c) Any such voting rights may be exercised by the stockholder entitled
thereto in person or by his proxy appointed by an instrument in writing,
subscribed by such stockholder or by his attorney thereunto authorized and
delivered to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy
shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date unless said proxy
shall provide for a longer period. The attendance at any meeting of a
stockholder who may theretofore have given a proxy shall not have the effect of
revoking the same unless he shall in writing so notify the secretary of the
meeting prior to the voting of the proxy. At any meeting of the stockholders all
matters, except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws or by law, shall be
decided by the vote of a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present
in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat and thereon, a quorum being
present. The vote at any meeting of the stockholders on any question need not be
by ballot, unless so directed by the chairman of the meeting. On a vote by
ballot each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by his proxy,
if there be such proxy, and it shall state the number of shares voted.

         SECTION 2.07 Judges. If at any meeting of the stockholders a vote by
written ballot shall be taken on any questions, the chairman of such meeting may
appoint a judge or judges to act with respect to such vote. Each judge so
appointed shall first subscribe an oath faithfully to execute the duties of a
judge at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his
ability. Such judges shall decide upon the qualification of the voters and shall
report the number of shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on
such question, shall conduct and accept the votes, and, when the voting is
completed, shall ascertain and report the number of shares voted respectively
for and against the question. Reports of judges shall be in writing and
subscribed and delivered by them to the Secretary of the Corporation. The judges
need not be stockholders of the Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation
may be a judge on any question other than a vote for or against a proposal in
which he shall have a material interest.

         SECTION 2.08 Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.

                  (a) Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

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

3



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

                  (iii) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of
         paragraph (A)(2) of this By-Law to the contrary, in the event that the
         number of Directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the
         Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement by the
         Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the
         size of the increased Board of Directors at least 70 days prior to the
         first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a
         stockholder's notice required by this By-Law shall also be considered
         timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created
         by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the
         principal execution offices of the Corporation not later than the close
         of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public
         announcement is first made by the Corporation.

         (b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be
conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before
the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting. Nominations of
persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting
of stockholders at which directors are to be elected

4



pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of
the Board of Directors at (b) provided that the Board of Directors has
determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder
of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of
notice provided for in this By-Law, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting
and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this By-Law. In the
event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of
electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder
may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such
position(s) as specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting, if the
stockholder's notice required by paragraph (a)(ii) of this By-Law shall be
delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to such special
meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day
prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public
announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the
nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no
event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of a special meeting
commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described
above.

                  (c) General.

                  (i) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the
         procedures set forth in this By-Law shall be eligible to serve as
         director; and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of
         stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in
         accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law. Except as
         otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these
         By-Laws, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to
         determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought
         before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in
         accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law and, if any
         proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this By-Law,
         to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be
         disregarded.

                  (ii) For purposes of the By-Law, "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 with the Securities and
         Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange
         Act.

                  (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-Law,
         a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the
         Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to
         the matters set forth in this By-Law. Nothing in this By-Law shall be
         deemed to affect any rights (1) of stockholders to request inclusion of
         proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8
         under the Exchange Act or (2) of the holders of any series of Preferred
         Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances.

         SECTION 2.09 Record Date for Action by Written Consent. 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

5



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 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 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 filed by the Board of Directors within 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 Delaware, its principal
place of business or to any 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 applicable 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 date on which the Board of Directors adopts the
resolution taking such prior action.

         SECTION 2.10 Inspectors of Written Consent. In the event of the
delivery, in the manner provided by Section 2.09, to the Corporation of the
requisite written consent or consents to take corporate action and/or any
related revocation or revocations, the Corporation shall engage nationally
recognized independent inspectors of elections for the purpose of promptly
performing a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and revocations.
For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no action
by written consent without a meeting shall be effective until such date as the
independent inspectors certify to the Corporation that the consents delivered to
the Corporation in accordance with Section 2.09 represent at least the minimum
number of votes that would be necessary to take the corporate action. Nothing
contained in this paragraph shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply
that the Board of Directors or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest
the validity of any consent or revocation thereof, whether before or after such
certification by the independent inspectors, or to take any other actions
(including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any
litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive relief in such
litigation.)

         SECTION 2.11 Effectiveness of Written Consent. 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 60 days of the date the earliest dated written consent
was received in accordance with Section 2.09, a written consent or consents
signed by a sufficient number of holders to take such action are delivered to
the Corporation in the manner prescribed in Section 2.09.

         SECTION 3.02 Number, Qualification, and Term of Office. The number of
directors shall be seven (7); provided, however, that the number of directors
may be increased in the event of certain specified arrearages in the payment of
dividends on the $1.00 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of the
Corporation, such increases to be in the number, for the period of time effected
in the manner, prescribed in the Certificate of Incorporation. Directors need
not be stockholders. Each of the directors of the Corporation shall hold office
until the annual meeting of stockholders held next after his election and until
his successor shall have been duly elected and shall qualify, or until his death
in office, or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner
hereinafter provided.

         SECTION 3.03 Election of Directors. At each meeting of the stockholders
for the election of directors at which a quorum is present the persons receiving
the greatest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall
be the directors.

         SECTION 3.04 Resignations. Any director of the Corporation may resign
at any time by giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board or to the
Secretary of the Corporation. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time
specified therein, or, if the time be not specified, it shall take effect
immediately upon its receipt; and, unless otherwise specified therein, the
acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

         SECTION 3.05 Vacancies. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate
of Incorporation, any vacancy in the Board, whether because of death,
resignation, disqualification, an increase in the number of directors, or any
other cause, may be filled by vote of the majority of the remaining directors,
although less than a quorum, except in the case of a vacancy caused by removal,
in which event a successor must be elected by the stockholders of the
Corporation at a special meeting called for that purpose. Each director so
chosen to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next annual meeting of
stockholders and until his successor shall have been elected and shall qualify,
or until his death in office, or until he shall resign or shall have been
removed in the manner hereinafter provided.

         SECTION 3.06 Place of Meeting, etc. The Board may hold any of its
meetings at such place or places within or without the State of Delaware as the
Board may from time to time by resolution designate or as shall be designated by
the person or persons calling the meeting or in the notice or a waiver of notice
of any such meeting.

         SECTION 3.07 First Meeting. As soon as practicable after each annual
election of directors, the Board shall meet for the purpose of organization, the
election of officers of the Corporation, and the transaction of other business.
Notice of such first meeting shall be given in the manner hereinafter provided
in Section 3.09 unless as therein provided such notice shall not be required.

7



         SECTION 3.08 Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board may be
held at such times as the Board shall from time to time by resolution determine.
There shall be not less than four such regular meetings held in each calendar
year. If any day fixed for a regular meeting shall be a legal holiday at the
place where the meeting is to be held, then the meeting shall be held at the
same hour and place on the next succeeding business day not a legal holiday.
Except as provided by law, notice of regular meetings need not be given.

         SECTION 3.09 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board shall be
held whenever called by the Chairman of the Board or the President or any two of
the directors. Except as otherwise provided by law or by these Bylaws, notice of
the time and place of each such special meeting shall be mailed to each
director, addressed to him at his residence or usual place of business, at least
five (5) days before the day on which the meeting is to be held, or shall be
sent to him at such place by telegraph or cable or be delivered personally not
less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time at which the meeting is to be
held. Except where otherwise required by law or by these Bylaws, notice of the
purpose of a special meeting need not be given. Notice of any meeting of the
Board shall not be required to be given to any director who shall have waived
such notice and such notice shall be deemed to have been waived by any director
who is present at such meeting.

         SECTION 3.10 Quorum and Manner of Acting. Except as otherwise provided
in these Bylaws, or by law, the presence of four (4) members of the Board (but
in any event not less than one-third of the number of directors then authorized)
shall be required to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any
meeting of the Board, and all matters shall be decided at any such meeting, a
quorum being present, by the affirmative votes of a majority of the directors
present. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of directors present at any
meeting may adjourn the same from time to time until a quorum shall be present.
Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given. The directors shall act only
as a Board, and the individual directors shall have no power as such.

         SECTION 3.11 Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be
taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken
without a meeting if prior to such action a written consent thereto is signed by
all members of the Board or of such committee, as the case may be, and such
written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or
committee.

         SECTION 3.12 Removal of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation, any director may be removed at any time, either
with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the stockholders having a
majority of the voting power of the Corporation, given at a special meeting of
the stockholders called for the purpose; and the vacancy in the Board caused by
any such removal may be filled at such meeting or otherwise as provided in
Section 3.05.

         SECTION 3.13 Compensation. The directors shall receive only such
compensation for their services as may be allowed by a resolution of the Board
either as an annual fee or as compensation for his attendance at each meeting of
the Board or of such committee. The Board may also provide that the Corporation
shall reimburse each such director or member of such committee for any expense
incurred by him on account of his attendance at any such meeting.

8



Neither the payment of such compensation nor the reimbursement of such expenses
shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation or its
subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

         SECTION 3.14 Executive Committee. The Board may, in its discretion, by
resolution adopted by a majority of the whole Board, designate an Executive
Committee consisting of three directors of the Corporation, which Committee
shall have and may exercise, when the Board is not in session, the powers of the
Board in management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and shall
have power to authorize the issuance of the stock of the Corporation and to
authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may
require it. Each member of the Executive Committee may designate another member
of the Board to act as his alternate at any meeting of the Executive Committee.
The Board shall name the Chairman of the Executive Committee and shall have the
power at any time to change the membership of the Executive Committee, to fill
all vacancies in it and to dissolve it. The Executive Committee may make rules
for the conduct of its business and may appoint such committees and assistants
as it shall from time to time deem necessary. Two members of said Committee
shall constitute a quorum, and any action taken by the Executive Committee shall
require the approval of at least two of the members thereof. The Executive
Committee shall keep written minutes of its transactions and report such minutes
to the Board at the next regular meeting of the Board.

         SECTION 3.15 Other Committees. The Board may in its discretion appoint
other committees which shall have and may exercise such powers in the management
of the business and affairs of the Corporation as may be granted by resolutions
of the Board. Any such committee shall consist of two or more directors of the
Corporation, and a majority of any such committee may determine its action and
fix the time and place of its meetings unless the Board shall provide otherwise.
The Board shall have power at any time to fill vacancies in, to change the
membership of and to dissolve any such committee. The Board may designate one or
more directors as alternate members of any committee who may replace any absent
or disqualified member of any meeting of the committee.


                                   ARTICLE IV

the Corporation shall be an officer of the Corporation. He shall preside at all
meetings of the Board and of the stockholders at which he is present, and shall
exercise and perform such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to
him by the Board.

         SECTION 4.08 The President. The President shall be the chief executive
officer of the Corporation and shall have, subject to the control of the Board,

in such sum and with such surety or sureties as the Board shall determine.

         SECTION 4.12 The Controller. The Controller shall, subject the
direction of a designated Vice President, establish, coordinate and administer

         SECTION 4.13 Compensation. The compensation of the officers of the
Corporation shall be fixed from time to time by the Board. None of such officers
shall be prevented from receiving such compensation by reason of the fact that
he is also a director of the Corporation. Nothing contained herein shall
preclude any officer from serving the Corporation, or any subsidiary
corporation, in any other capacity and receiving proper compensation therefor.

                 CONTRACTS, CHECKS, DRAFTS, BANK ACCOUNTS, ETC.

SECTION 5.01 Execution of Contracts. The Board of Directors, except as in these
Bylaws otherwise provided, may authorize any officer or officers, agent or
agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and
on behalf of the Corporation, and such

authority may be general or confined to specific instances; but absent any
limitation imposed by the Board of Directors or by these Bylaws, the officers of
this Corporation shall have all the usual powers and may exercise the authority
incident to their respective offices and relating to the conduct of the business
and affairs of the Corporation in the ordinary course.

         SECTION 5.02 Checks, Drafts, Etc. All checks, drafts or other orders

in such banks, trust companies or other depositories as the Board may select, or
as may be selected by any officer or officers, assistant or assistants, agent or
agents, or attorney or attorneys of the Corporation to whom such power shall
have been delegated by the Board. For the purpose of deposit and for the purpose
of collection for the account of the Corporation, the Chairman of the Board, the
President, any Vice President, the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer (or any
other officer or officers, assistant or assistants, agent or agents, or attorney
or attorneys of the Corporation who shall from time to time be determined by the
Board) may endorse, assign and deliver checks, drafts and other orders for the
payment of money which are payable to the order of the Corporation.

         SECTION 5.04 General and Special Bank Accounts. The Board may from time

provisions of these Bylaws, as it may deem expedient.

right to vote or consent in respect of such stock or other securities at
meetings of the holders of such stock or other securities or to consent in
writing, in the name of the Corporation, to any action by such other
corporation. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board, the Chairman
of the Board may instruct the person or persons so appointed as to the manner of
exercising such right to vote or giving such consent, and may execute or cause

                                   ARTICLE VI

                            SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER

         SECTION 6.01 Certificates for Stock. Every owner of stock of the
Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate or certificates, to be in
such form as the Board shall prescribe, certifying the number and class of
shares of stock of the Corporation owned by him. The certificates representing
shares of such stock shall be numbered in the order in which they shall be
issued and shall be signed in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman of the
Board or the Vice Chairman of the Board of the President or a Vice President,
and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or by the Treasurer or an
Assistant Treasurer; provided, however, that if any such certificate is
countersigned by a transfer agent other than the Corporation or its employee, or
by a registrar other than the Corporation or its employee, if the Board shall by
resolution so authorize, the signatures of such Chairman of the Board or Vice
Chairman of the Board or President or vice President and of such Secretary or
Assistant Secretary or Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer may be facsimiles. In
case any officer or assistant of the Corporation who shall have signed, or whose
facsimile signature shall have been placed upon, any such certificate, shall
thereafter have ceased to hold such office, such certificate may nevertheless be
issued by the Corporation with the same effect as though the person who signed
such certificate, or whose facsimile signature shall have been paced thereupon,
were such officer or assistant at the date of issue. A record shall be kept of
the respective names of the persons, firms or corporations owning stock
represented by such certificates, respectively, and the respective dates
thereof, and in case of cancellation, the respective dates of cancellation.
Every certificate surrendered to the Corporation for exchange or transfer shall
be cancelled, and no new certificate or certificates shall be issued in exchange
for any existing certificate until such existing certificate shall have been so
cancelled, except in cases provided for in Section 6.04.

         SECTION 6.02 Transfers of Stock. Transfers of shares of the stock of
the Corporation shall be made only on the books of the Corporation by the
registered holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of
attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary, or with a transfer clerk or
a transfer agent appointed as provided in Section 6.03, and upon surrender of
the certificate or certificates for such shares properly endorsed and the
payment of all taxes thereon. The person in whose name shares of stock stand on
the books of the Corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes
as regards the Corporation. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for
collateral security, and not absolutely, such fact shall be so expressed in the
entry of transfer if, when the certificate or certificates shall be presented to
the Corporation for transfer, both the transferor and the transferee request the
Corporation to do so.

         SECTION 6.03 Regulations. The Board may make such rules and regulations
as it may deem expedient, not inconsistent with these Bylaws, concerning the
issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of the stock of the
Corporation. It may appoint, or authorize any officer or officers to appoint,
one or more transfer clerks or one or more transfer agents and one or more
registrars, and may require all certificates for stock to bear the signature or
signatures of any of them.

13



         SECTION 6.04 Lost, Stolen, Destroyed, and Mutilated Certificates. In
any case of loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any certificate of stock,
another may be issued in its place upon proof of such loss, theft, destruction,
or mutilation and upon the giving of a bond of indemnity to the Corporation in
such form and in such sum as the Board may direct; provided, however, that a new
certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of
the Board, it is proper so to do.

         SECTION 6.05 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.
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 other
change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful
action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more
than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60
days prior to any other action. If in any case involving the determination of
stockholders for any purpose other than notice of or voting at a meeting of
stockholders the Board shall not fix such a record date, the record date for
determining stockholders for such purpose shall be the close of business on the
day on which the Board shall adopt the resolution relating thereto. A
determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting; provided, however,
that the Board may fix a new record for date for the adjourned meeting.


                                  ARTICLE VII

                            DIVIDENDS, SURPLUS, ETC.

         SECTION 7.01 Dividends. Subject to the provisions of law, of the
Certificate of Incorporation and of these Bylaws, the Board may declare and pay
dividends upon the shares of its stock either (a) out of its surplus as defined
in and computed in accordance with the provisions of law or (b) in case it shall
not have any such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which
the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year, whenever and in such
amounts as, in the opinion of the Board, the condition of the affairs of the
Corporation shall render it advisable.

         SECTION 7.02 Surplus, Reserves. Before payment of any dividend, the
Board may in its discretion use or apply any of such surplus or such net profits
as a reserve fund to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for
repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for such other
purposes as the Board shall think conducive to the best interests of the
Corporation, and the Board may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner
in which it was created. All such surplus or such net profits, until actually
declared in dividends, or used and applied as aforesaid, shall be deemed to have
been so set aside by the Board for one or more of said purposes.

14



                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         SECTION 8.01 Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Corporation
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify 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 (including without limitation an action by or in the right of the
Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful. The right of indemnity provided herein shall not be
exclusive, and the Corporation may provide indemnification to any person, by
agreement or otherwise, on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors
may approve. Any agreement for indemnification of any director, officer,
employee or other person may provide indemnification rights which are broader or
otherwise different from those set forth herein.

         SECTION 8.02 Other Rights and Remedies. The indemnification provided by
this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification may be entitled under any 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 such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.

         SECTION 8.03 Insurance. Upon resolution passed by the Board, the
Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is
or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any
such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under
the provisions of this Article.

         SECTION 8.04 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article, (1)
references to "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

15



its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent or 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 Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he
would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate
existence had continued; (2) references to "other enterprises" shall include
employee benefit plans; (3) references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes
assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; (4) 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 (5) 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 manner "not opposed to the best interests of
the Corporation" as referred to in this Article.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 9.01 Seal. The Board shall provide a corporate seal, which
shall be in the form of a circle and shall bear the name of the Corporation and
words and figures showing that it was incorporated in the State of Delaware in
the year 1969.

         SECTION 9.02 Waiver of Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given
by these Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation or by law, the person
entitled to said notice may waive such notice in writing, either before or after
the time stated herein, and such waiver shall be deemed equivalent to notice.

         SECTION 9.03 Amendments. These Bylaws, or any of them, may be altered,
amended or repealed, and new Bylaws may be made, (i) by the Board, by vote of a
majority of the number of directors then in office as directors, acting at any
annual or regular meeting of the Board, without previous notice, or at any
special meeting of the Board, provided that notice of such proposed amendment,
modification, repeal or adoption of new Bylaws is given in the notice of such
special meeting, or (ii) by the stockholders, at any annual meeting of
stockholders, without previous notice, or at any special meeting of
stockholders, provided that notice of such proposed amendment, modification,
repeal or adoption is given in the notice of special meeting. Any Bylaws made or
altered by the stockholders may be altered by the Board or may be altered or
repealed by the stockholders.
