Section 2. Annual meetings of shareholders shall be held on a regular business day of the month of March or April at the offices of the Corporation or at such other date, time and place of which shall be established by the Board of Directors, at which they shall elect by a plurality vote a Board of Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. Section 3. Notice of the annual meeting shall be given by mailing, no more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days prior thereto, a written notice stating the time and place thereof, directed to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting at his address as the same appears upon the records of the Corporation. Section 4. The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make and certify a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at a shareholders' meeting or any adjournment thereof. Such list shall be arranged alphabetically within each class, series, or group of shareholders maintained by the Corporation, showing the address of, and the number of shares held by, each shareholder. Such list shall be produced at the time and place of the meeting; be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting; and be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list or to vote at any such meetings. Section 5. Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, may be called by the Chairman of the Board or the president, and shall be called by the president or secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors, or at the request in writing of shareholders owning a majority in amount of the entire capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Section 6. Written or telegraphic notice of a special meeting of shareholders, stating the time, place and object thereof, shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat, not more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date fixed for the meeting. Section 7. Business transacted at any special meeting of shareholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice. Section 8. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the shareholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If the adjourned meeting 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 shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. Section 9. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present, in person or represented by proxy, shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the Certificate of Incorporation a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Section 10. Each shareholder shall, at every meeting of the shareholders, be entitled to that number of votes in person or by proxy as provided in the certificate of incorporation for each share of capital stock having voting power held by such shareholder. Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Every proxy shall be executed in writing by the shareholder or his agent, except that a proxy may be given by a shareholder or his agent by telegram or cable or by any means of electronic communication which results in a writing. No proxy shall be valid for more than 11 months, unless a longer time is expressly provided therein. Unless it is irrevocable as provided below in this Article II, Section 10, a proxy shall be revocable at will. The grant of a later proxy revokes any earlier proxy unless the earlier proxy is irrevocable. A proxy shall not be revoked by the death or incapacity of a shareholder but such 2 proxy shall continue in force until revoked by the personal representative or guardian of the shareholder. The presence at any meeting of any shareholder who has given a proxy does not revoke the proxy unless the shareholder files written notice of the revocation with the secretary of the meeting prior to the voting of the proxy or votes the shares subsequent to the proxy by written ballot. A proxy which states that it is irrevocable is irrevocable if coupled with an interest either in the stock itself or in the Corporation and, in particular and without limitation, if it is held by any of the following or a nominee of any of the following: (a) a pledgee; (b) a person who has purchased or agreed to purchase the shares; (c) a creditor of the Corporation who has extended credit or has agreed to continue to extend credit to the Corporation if the proxy is given in consideration of the extension or continuation; (d) a person who has agreed to perform services as an employee of the Corporation if the proxy is given in consideration of the agreement; or (e) a person designated pursuant to the terms of an agreement as to voting between two or more shareholders. An irrevocable proxy becomes revocable when the interest which supports the proxy has terminated. Unless noted conspicuously on the share certificate, an otherwise irrevocable proxy may be revoked by a person who becomes the holder of the shares without actual knowledge of the restriction. A person named in a proxy as the attorney or agent of a shareholder may, if the proxy so provides, substitute another person to act in his place, including any other person named as an attorney or agent in the same proxy. The substitution shall not be effective until an instrument effecting it is filed with the secretary of the Corporation. Section 11. Whenever the vote of shareholder at a meeting thereof is required or permitted to be taken in connection with any corporate action by any provision of the statutes or of the Certificate of Incorporation, the meeting and the vote of shareholders may be dispensed with if all the shareholders who would have been entitled to vote upon the action if such meeting were held shall consent in writing to such corporate action being taken, and in the case of any action to be taken pursuant to Chapter 10 of Title 14A of the Revised Statutes of the State of New Jersey, the Corporation provides to all other shareholders the advanced notification required by N.J.S.A. 14A:5-6(2)(b). Subject to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 14A:5-6(2), whenever the vote of shareholders at a meeting thereof is required or permitted to be taken in connection with any corporate action by any provision of the statutes or of the Certificate of Incorporation, other than the election of directors, the meeting and vote of shareholders may be dispensed with and the action may be taken without a meeting upon the written consent of shareholders who would have been entitled to cast the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize such action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting. Section 12. At each meeting of shareholders, the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors or in his or her absence the President of the Company or in his or her absence any Vice President of the Company or in his or her absence a chairman chosen by the vote of a majority in interest of the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereat, shall act as chairman. The Secretary or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary or in the absence of the Secretary and all Assistant Secretaries a person whom the chairman of the meeting shall appoint shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep a record of the proceedings thereof. The Board 3 of Directors of the Corporation shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of shareholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations, the chairman shall have the 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 shareholders of record of the Corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies, and such other persons as the chairman shall permit, restrictions on entry at 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. The chairman shall have absolute authority over matters of procedure and there shall be no appeal from the ruling of the chairman. The chairman may rule that a resolution, nomination or motion not be submitted to the shareholders for a vote unless seconded by a shareholder or a proxy for a shareholder. The chairman may require that any person who is neither a bona fide shareholder nor a proxy for a bona fide shareholder leave the meeting, and upon the refusal of a shareholder to comply with a procedural ruling of the chairman which the chairman deems necessary for the proper conduct of the meeting, may require that such shareholder leave the meeting. The chairman may, on his own motion, summarily adjourn any meeting for any period he deems necessary if he rules that orderly procedures cannot be maintained at the meeting. Unless, and to the extent, determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of shareholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure. Section 13. To be properly brought before an annual meeting of shareholders, business must be either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation not later than 90 days prior to the meeting anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting. A shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the shareholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the shareholder and (iv) any material interest of the shareholder in such business. Notwithstanding anything in the By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13 of Article II and any other applicable requirements, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Section 13 of Article II shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any shareholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting. The chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13 of 4 Article II and any other applicable requirements and if he should so determine, which determination shall be conclusive, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted. ARTICLE III DIRECTORS Section 1. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board shall be the number, not less than three nor more than fifteen, fixed from time to time by a majority vote of the whole Board of Directors; provided, no decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Each director shall serve for the term of the class for which elected or until such time as a successor shall have been duly elected and shall have qualified. Directors need not be shareholders. Section 2. Nominations for the election of directors may be made by the Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors or by any shareholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally. However, any shareholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally may nominate one or more persons for election as directors generally may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at a meeting only if written notice of such shareholder's intent to make such nomination or nominations has been given either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of shareholders, 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting; and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to shareholders. Each such notice shall set forth: (a) the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder; (d) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (e) the signed consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation if so elected. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee or shareholder proposing a nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation or to properly complete any proxy or information statements used for the solicitation of proxies in connection with the meeting at which directors are to be elected. The presiding officer of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure. Section 3. Whenever any vacancy shall occur in the Board of Directors by death, resignation or otherwise, it shall be filled by a majority vote of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, but any such director so elected shall hold office only until the next succeeding annual meeting of 5 shareholders. At such annual meeting, such director or a successor to such director shall be elected and qualified in the class to which such director is assigned to hold office for the term or remainder of the term of such class. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by statute. Section 4. The business of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws directed or required to be exercised or done by the shareholders. Section 5. The removal of one or more directors for cause or without cause shall be governed by N.J.S.A. 14A:6-6 or any successor provisions thereto. MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Section 6.

At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the directors in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation.

ARTICLE VI INDEMNIFICATION Section 1. The Corporation shall indemnify a corporate agent against his expenses and liabilities actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any proceeding involving the corporate agent by reason of his being or having been such a corporate agent, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, if (a) such corporate agent 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 (b) with respect to any criminal proceeding, such corporate agent had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that such corporate agent did not meet the applicable standards of conduct set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) herein. Section 2. The Corporation shall indemnify a corporate agent against his liabilities and expenses, actually or reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense, in any proceeding, by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor which involves the corporate agent by reason of his being or having been such corporate agent, 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. However, in such proceeding no indemnification shall be provided in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such corporate agent shall have been adjudged liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the New Jersey Superior Court or the court in 10 which such proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, such corporate agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses or liabilities as the New Jersey Superior Court or such other court shall deem proper. Section 3. The Corporation shall indemnify a corporate agent against expenses (including attorneys fees) to the extent that such corporate agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in any proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein. Section 4. Any indemnification under Section 1 of this Article and, unless ordered by a court, under Section 2 of this Article, may be made by the Corporation only as authorized in a specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the corporate agent met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to or otherwise involved in the proceeding or (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, event if obtainable and such quorum of the Board of Directors by a majority vote of the disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, such counsel to be designated by the Board of Directors or (c) by the shareholders. Section 5. Expenses incurred by a corporate agent in connection with a proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding, as authorized by the Board of Directors, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the corporate agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified as provided in this Article. Section 6. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to the other sections of this Article shall not exclude any other rights to which a corporate agent may be entitled under the certificate of incorporation, a bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, or otherwise; provided that no indemnification shall be made to or on behalf of a corporate agent if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the corporate agent establishes that his acts or omissions (a) were in breach of his duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its Shareholders, (b) were not in good faith or involved a knowing violation of law or (c) resulted in receipt by the corporate agent of an improper personal benefit. Section 7. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any corporate agent against any expenses incurred in any proceeding and any liabilities asserted against him by reason of his being or having been a corporate agent, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such expenses and liabilities under the provisions of this section.

Every holder of stock in the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of, the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board or president or executive vice-president, a senior vice-president or a vice-president and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by him in the Corporation. Section 2. Where a certificate is countersigned (a) by a transfer agent other than the Corporation or its employee or (b) by a registrar other than the Corporation or its employee, any other signature on the certificate, including the signatures of the officers of the Corporation, may be facsimiles. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a 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. Any person claiming a certificate or certificates of stock of the Corporation to be lost, stolen or destroyed shall provide notice of that fact to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation. Any two (2) officers of the Corporation, other than an assistant secretary or an assistant treasurer, may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of and of the same tenor and for the same number of shares as the certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation and alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate or certificates of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, such officers may, in their 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 give the Corporation a bond or indemnity in form and amount and with one or more sureties satisfactory to such officers as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate or certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. The Board of Directors may at any time authorize the issuance of a new certificate or certificates to replace a certificate or certificates alleged to be lost, stolen or destroyed upon such other lawful terms and conditions as the Board of Directors shall prescribe. TRANSFER OF STOCK Section 4. Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence or succession, assignment 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.

A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders 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.
