See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Page 4 5 OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies These Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to instructions for the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has reflected all adjustments which it believes are necessary to present fairly Oceaneering's financial position at September 30, 2000 and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Oceaneering's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. In November 2000, Oceaneering changed its fiscal year from March 31 to December 31. 2. Shareholders' Equity Shareholders' Equity consisted of the following:
September 30, March 31, 2000 2000 ------------- --------- (in thousands) Common Stock, par value $0.25; 90,000,000 shares authorized; 24,017,046 shares issued $ 6,004 $ 6,004 Additional paid-in capital 78,445 77,972 Treasury stock; 1,045,511 and 1,197,705 shares, at average cost (14,010) (16,050) Retained earnings 147,308 140,493 Accumulated other elements of comprehensive income (17,432) (12,719) --------- --------- Total shareholders' equity $ 200,315 $ 195,700 ========= =========
3. Income Taxes Cash taxes paid were $3.3 million and $5.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Oceaneering also received a cash tax refund of $4.4 million during the first half of the current fiscal year. 4. Earnings Per Share Oceaneering has computed earnings per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Standard Number ("SFAS") 128, "Earnings Per Share." 5. Business Segment Information Oceaneering supplies a comprehensive range of technical services and specialty products to a variety of industries. Oceaneering's Offshore Oil and Gas business consists of four business segments: Remotely Operated Vehicles ("ROVs"), Subsea Products, Mobile Offshore Production Systems and Other Services. Oceaneering's Advanced Technologies business is a separate segment that provides project management, engineering services and equipment for applications outside the oil and gas industry. Page 5 6 There are no differences in the basis of segmentation or in the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss from those used in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. The previously reported information for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 included certain Advanced Technologies activities in the Offshore Oil and Gas segments. That information is restated below. The following summarizes certain financial data by business segment:

(1) The periods ended September 30, 2000 contain a $2.5 million impairment loss related to an out-of- service tanker held for possible conversion into production service. This tanker is not of the size prevalently in demand in the current market, and there have been few opportunities to bid this vessel. Therefore, it has been written down to its estimated market value. The impairment loss is reflected in the Cost of Services line in the Consolidated Statements of Income. 6. Comprehensive Income Effective April 1, 1998, Oceaneering adopted SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all nonowner changes in equity. The amounts of comprehensive income for each of the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, -------------------- -------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ------- ------- ------- ------- (in thousands) Net Income per Consolidated Statements of Income $ 4,112 $ 4,116 $ 6,815 $ 9,150 Foreign Currency Translation Gains (Losses) (2,516) 1,837 (4,713) 523 ------- ------- ------- ------- Comprehensive Income $ 1,596 $ 5,953 $ 2,102 $ 9,673 ======= ======= ======= =======

Page 6 7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. All statements in this Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, statements regarding our business strategy, plans for future operations and industry conditions, are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those we refer to under the heading "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, because of the inherent limitations in the forecasting process, as well as the relatively volatile nature of the industries in which we operate, we can give no assurance that those expectations will prove to be correct. Accordingly, evaluation of our future prospects must be made with caution when relying on forward-looking information. Material Changes in Financial Condition We consider our liquidity and capital resources adequate to support our operations and capital commitments. At September 30, 2000, we had working capital of $62 million, including $6 million of unrestricted cash and we had $57.5 million available under committed credit facilities. Our capital expenditures were $72 million during the six months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $27 million during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Capital expenditures in the current fiscal year consisted of ongoing costs related to the conversion of a jackup drilling rig to a mobile offshore production unit, additions to our fleet of ROVs and multiservice vessel construction. Prior fiscal year expenditures consisted of additions to our fleet of ROVs, multiservice vessel construction and subsea products facilities expansion. Commitments for capital expenditures at September 30, 2000 were approximately $30 million of remaining costs for the conversion of a jackup drilling rig to a mobile offshore production unit. This unit will be used for a three-year contract in Western Australia. Operations are anticipated to begin during the second quarter of calendar year 2001. Results of Operations Effective with the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2000, we increased our reporting segments from three to five to assist the investment community in better understanding our company. The segments are contained within two businesses - services and products provided to the offshore oil and gas industry ("Offshore Oil and Gas") and all other services and products ("Advanced Technologies"). Our segments within the Offshore Oil and Gas business are Remotely Operated Vehicles ("ROVs"), Subsea Products, Mobile Offshore Production Systems and Other Services. We report our Advanced Technologies business as one segment. The previously reported information for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 included certain Advanced Technologies activities in the Offshore Oil and Gas segments. That information is restated in the following discussion. Consolidated revenue and margin information is as follows:
For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended ------------------------------------ -------------------------- Sept. 30, Sept. 30, June 30, Sept. 30, Sept. 30, 2000 1999 2000 2000 1999 -------- --------- -------- --------- --------- (in thousands) Revenues $100,464 $100,405 $104,039 $204,503 $199,265 Gross margin 18,373 17,455 15,373 33,746 35,982 Gross margin % 18% 17% 15% 17% 18% Operating margin % 8% 8% 5% 7% 8%
We generate a material amount of our consolidated revenue from contracts for marine services in the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea, which are usually more active from April through November compared to the rest of the year. However, our exit from the diving sector in the North Sea in early 1998 and the substantial number of multiyear ROV contracts that we entered into since calendar year 1997 have reduced the seasonality of our ROV and Other Services operations. Revenues in our Mobile Offshore Production Systems, Subsea Products and Advanced Technologies segments are generally not seasonal. Our Offshore Oil and Gas business results are influenced by the level of capital spending by oil and gas companies in the offshore sector. While crude oil and natural gas prices were higher than those during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, capital spending levels have not yet increased as we had anticipated at the start of our fiscal year. The fixed costs associated with our underutilized assets have impacted our profit margins, particularly our umbilical manufacturing facilities in our Subsea Products segment and our multiservice vessels in our Other Services segment. Our bidding activity is up, but projects are planned for execution in calendar year 2001. Our Subsea Page 7 8 Products segment operating income improved in the current quarter, primarily from results in Brazil. Our current year Advanced Technologies segment results are anticipated to be lower than those achieved in the prior fiscal year as our cable venture is expected to be about break-even in its first year of operation and this segment's other operations are expected to be comparable to last fiscal year. OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS. The table below sets forth our revenues and gross margins for our Offshore Oil and Gas business for the periods indicated.
For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended ------------------------------------ ------------------------ Sept. 30, Sept. 30, June 30, Sept. 30, Sept. 30, 2000 1999 2000 2000 1999 --------- --------- -------- --------- --------- (in thousands) ROVs Revenues $ 27,634 $ 23,446 $ 25,362 $ 52,996 $ 46,316 Gross margin 7,003 5,715 5,777 12,780 11,388 Gross margin % 25% 24% 23% 24% 25% Work class utilization % 71% 64% 63% 67% 64% Subsea Products Revenues $ 21,057 $ 13,872 $ 22,502 $ 43,559 $ 31,082 Gross margin 2,519 1,449 2,344 4,863 4,273 Gross margin % 12% 10% 10% 11% 14% Mobile Offshore Production Systems Revenues $ 5,281 $ 5,715 $ 5,980 $ 11,261 $ 13,084 Gross margin 2,168 1,348 1,331 3,499 4,431 Gross margin % 41% 24% 22% 31% 34% Other Services Revenues $ 20,851 $ 26,449 $ 22,535 $ 43,386 $ 45,779 Gross margin 2,249 4,622 1,235 3,484 6,531 Gross margin % 11% 17% 5% 8% 14% Total Offshore Oil and Gas Revenues $ 74,823 $ 69,482 $ 76,379 $151,202 $136,261 Gross margin 13,939 13,134 10,687 24,626 26,623 Gross margin % 19% 19% 14% 16% 20%
Our ROV revenues and gross margin were higher than those achieved during the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year due to a higher number of ROVs available. The gross margin percentages were fairly consistent for the periods presented. Our Subsea Products revenues were higher than those in the corresponding periods of the prior year due to increased umbilical sales from our plant in Brazil and from increased sales of subsea specialty hardware. Profitability was down in the six months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the six months ended September 30, 1999 as a result of competitive pricing and a large steel tube umbilical order in our U.K. plant which had a lower-than-average profit margin due to higher subcontractor content. Recurring Mobile Offshore Production Systems revenues and profits were lower than the prior year as we completed a major modification project for the floating production and offloading system Zafiro Producer during the last fiscal year. During the quarter, we determined that the near-term outlook for the use of semisubmersibles in mobile offshore production systems service was going to remain weak, and that we could realize greater value for our two semisubmersible rigs through sales to those who would use them in exploration operations. The results of the quarter include a gain of $3.7 million on the sale of the semisubmersible Ocean Zephyr II. In addition, we wrote down the carrying value of our out-of-service tanker, the Ocean Venture, by $2.5 million as our assessment of the market it was targeted for, conversion into production service, had changed. This tanker is not of the size prevalently in demand in the current market and there have been few opportunities to bid this vessel. Therefore, we wrote this vessel down to its estimated market value. Page 8 9 Other Services revenues were lower than the corresponding periods of the prior year due to lower activity levels in all areas. At the end of the quarter, we exchanged our diving-related assets in Asia, Australia and the Middle East for ROVs. There was no material effect on the current quarter's results from the transaction. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES. Revenue and gross margin information is as follows:
For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended ---------------------------------- ------------------------ Sept. 30, Sept. 30, June 30, Sept. 30, Sept. 30, 2000 1999 2000 2000 1999 --------- --------- -------- --------- --------- (in thousands) Revenues $25,641 $30,923 $27,660 $53,301 $63,004 Gross margin 4,434 4,321 4,686 9,120 9,359 Gross margin % 17% 14% 17% 17% 15%
Our Advanced Technologies segment revenues were lower as our telecommunications activities were put into an unconsolidated joint venture. The results of this venture are reported as other income. During the September 1999 quarter, our telecommunications operations reported a loss due to difficulties encountered during a cable burial job. The job loss reduced gross margin and gross margin percentage for the prior fiscal year. Results from other activities in this segment were at comparable levels to the prior fiscal year. OTHER. Our telecommunications joint venture started its first revenue-producing activities during the first quarter of the current fiscal year and operated at approximately a break-even level. Interest expense for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000 increased compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year as we had higher debt levels and higher interest rates. This debt had been incurred to fund the acquisition of additional equipment and expansion of our subsea products production capacity. Interest expense of $1,950,000 and $3,562,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000 was net of capitalized interest of $938,000 and $1,731,000 in those periods. The provisions for income taxes were related to U.S. income taxes which we provided at estimated annual effective rates using assumptions as to earnings and other factors which would affect the tax calculation for the remainder of the fiscal year, and to the operations of foreign branches and subsidiaries which were subject to local income and withholding taxes. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

HUFF -------------------------- John R. Huff Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer 9 10 EXHIBIT A CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS of SERIES B JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK of OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC. Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware We, John R. Huff, President and Chief Executive Officer, and George R. Haubenreich, Jr., Secretary, of Oceaneering International, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in accordance with the provisions of Section 103 thereof, DO HEREBY CERTIFY: That pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the said Corporation, the said Board of Directors on November 20, 1992, adopted the following resolution creating a series of 900,000 shares of Preferred Stock designated as "Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock": RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, a series of Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Corporation be and hereby is created, and that the designation and number of shares thereof and the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are as follows: 1. Designation and Amount. There shall be a series of Preferred Stock that shall be designated as "Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock," and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 900,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock to less than the number of shares then issued and outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation. A-1 11 2. Dividends and Distributions. (A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the 15th day of October, January, April and July in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, the Adjustment Number (as defined below) times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and the Adjustment Number times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock, par value $.25 per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The "Adjustment Number" shall initially be 100. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after November 20, 1992 (the "Rights Declaration Date") (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. (B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1.00 per share on the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. (C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which A-2 12 events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof. 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights: (A) Each share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to a number of votes equal to the Adjustment Number on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. (B) Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. (C)(i) If at any time dividends on any Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to six quarterly dividends thereon, the occurrence of such contingency shall mark the beginning of a period (herein called a "default period") that shall extend until such time when all accrued and unpaid dividends for all previous quarterly dividend periods and for the current quarterly dividend period on all shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment. During each default period, all holders of Preferred Stock (including holders of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock) upon which these or like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (the "Voting Preferred Stock") with dividends in arrears in an amount equal to six quarterly dividends thereon, voting as a class, irrespective of series, shall have the right to elect two Directors. (ii) During any default period, such voting right of the holders of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock may be exercised initially at a special meeting called pursuant to subparagraph (iii) of this Section 3(C) or at any annual meeting of stockholders, and thereafter at annual meetings of stockholders, provided that neither such voting right nor the right of the holders of any other series of Voting Preferred Stock, if any, to increase, in certain cases, the authorized number of Directors shall be exercised unless the holders of ten percent in number of shares of Voting Preferred Stock outstanding shall be present in person or by proxy. The absence of a quorum of the holders of Common Stock shall not affect the exercise by the holders of Voting Preferred Stock of such voting right. At any meeting at which the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall exercise such voting right initially during an existing default period, they shall have the right, voting as a class, to elect Directors to fill such vacancies, if any, in the Board of Directors as may then exist up to two Directors or, if such right is exercised at an annual meeting, to elect two Directors. If the number that may be so elected at any special meeting does not amount to the required number, the holders of the Voting Preferred Stock shall have the right to make such increase in the number of Directors as shall be necessary to permit the election by them of the required number. After the holders of the Voting A-3 13 Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect Directors in any default period and during the continuance of such period, the number of Directors shall not be increased or decreased except by vote of the holders of Voting Preferred Stock as herein provided or pursuant to the rights of any equity securities ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock. (iii) Unless the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall, during an existing default period, have previously exercised their right to elect Directors, the Board of Directors may order, or any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent of the total number of shares of Voting Preferred Stock outstanding, irrespective of series, may request, the calling of a special meeting of the holders of Voting Preferred Stock, which meeting shall thereupon be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President, a Vice President or the Secretary of the Corporation. Notice of such meeting and of any annual meeting at which holders of Voting Preferred Stock are entitled to vote pursuant to this paragraph (C)(iii) shall be given to each holder of record of Voting Preferred Stock by mailing a copy of such notice to him at his last address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. Such meeting shall be called for a time not earlier than 20 days and not later than 60 days after such order or request or, in default of the calling of such meeting within 60 days after such order or request, such meeting may be called on similar notice by any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent of the total number of shares of Voting Preferred Stock outstanding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (C)(iii), no such special meeting shall be called during the period within 60 days immediately preceding the date fixed for the next annual meeting of the stockholders. (iv) In any default period, the holders of Common Stock, and other classes of stock of the Corporation if applicable, shall continue to be entitled to elect the whole number of Directors until the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect two Directors voting as a class, after the exercise of which right (x) the Directors so elected by the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall continue in office until their successors shall have been elected by such holders or until the expiration of the default period, and (y) any vacancy in the Board of Directors may (except as provided in paragraph (C)(ii) of this Section 3) be filled by vote of a majority of the remaining Directors theretofore elected by the holders of the class of stock which elected the Director whose office shall have become vacant. References in this paragraph (C) to Directors elected by the holders of a particular class of stock shall include Directors elected by such Directors to fill vacancies as provided in clause (y) of the foregoing sentence. (v) Immediately upon the expiration of a default period, (x) the right of the holders of Voting Preferred Stock as a class to elect Directors shall cease, (y) the term of any Directors elected by the holders of Voting Preferred Stock as a class shall terminate and (z) the number of Directors shall be such number as may be provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws irrespective of any increase made pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (C)(ii) of this Section 3 (such number being subject, however, to change thereafter in any manner provided by law or in the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws). Any vacancies in the Board of Directors effected by the provisions of clauses (y) and (z) in the preceding sentence may be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors. A-4 14 (D) Except as set forth herein, holders of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action. 4. Certain Restrictions. (A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not (i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock; (ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (both as to dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock; or (iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes. (B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner. A-5 15 5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein. 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. (A) Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the "Series B Liquidation Preference"). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall have received an amount per share (the "Common Adjustment") equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series B Liquidation Preference by (ii) the Adjustment Number. Following the payment of the full amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively, holders of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock and holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to 1 with respect to such Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively. (B) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series B Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of Preferred Stock, if any, that rank on a parity with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock. 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination, or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share equal to the Adjustment Number times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. 8. Redemption. (A) The Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock in whole at any time and in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the Adjustment Number times the current per share market price (as such term is hereinafter defined) of the Common Stock on the date of the mailing of the notice of redemption, together with unpaid accumulated dividends to the date of such redemption. The A-6 16 "current per share market price" on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the closing price per share of such Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days (as such term is hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such date; provided, however, that in the event that the current per share market price of the Common Stock is determined during a period following the announcement of (A) a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock other than a regular quarterly cash dividend or (B) any subdivision, combination or reclassification of such Common Stock and the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification, shall not have occurred prior to the commencement of such ten Trading Day period, then, and in each such case, the current per share market price shall be properly adjusted to take into account ex-dividend trading. The closing price for each day shall be the last sales price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted sales price or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System or such other self-regulatory organization or registered securities information processor (as such terms are used under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that then reports information concerning the Common Stock or, if on any such date the Common Stock is not quoted by any such entity, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Common Stock selected by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. If on any such date no such market maker is making a market in the Common Stock, the fair value of the Common Stock on such date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be used. The term "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of business or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday on which banking institutions in the State of New York are not authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. (B) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding shares of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed shall be determined by the Board of Directors and the shares to be redeemed shall be determined by lot or pro rata as may be determined by the Board of Directors or by any other method that may be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion to be equitable. (C) Notice of any such redemption shall be given by mailing to the holders of the shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock to be redeemed a notice of such redemption, first class postage prepaid, not later than the fifteenth day and not earlier than the sixtieth day before the date fixed for redemption, at their last address as the same shall appear upon the books of the Corporation. Each such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where A-7 17 certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the close of business on such redemption date. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the stockholder received such notice, and failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice, to any holder of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock that are to be redeemed. On or after the date fixed for redemption as stated in such notice, each holder of the shares called for redemption shall surrender the certificate evidencing such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the redemption price. If fewer than all the shares represented by any such surrendered certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. (D) The shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall not be subject to the operation of any purchase, retirement or sinking fund. 9. Ranking. The Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise. 10. Amendment. At any time that any shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority or more of the outstanding shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class. 11. Fractional Shares. Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share that shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock.

-ii- 4 AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS OF OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC. The Board of Directors of Oceaneering International, Inc. (the "Corporation") by resolution has duly adopted these Amended and Restated Bylaws (these "Bylaws") to govern the Corporation's internal affairs. ARTICLE I STOCKHOLDERS Section 1.1 Annual Meetings. The Corporation will hold an annual meeting of the holders of its capital stock (each, a "Stockholder") for the election of directors of the Corporation (each, a "Director") at such date, time and place as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board") by resolution may designate from time to time. The Corporation may transact any other business at an annual meeting which has properly come before that meeting in accordance with Section 1.11. Section 1.2 Special Meetings. Any of the following may call special meetings of Stockholders for any purpose or purposes at any time and designate the date, time and place of any such meeting: (i) the Board pursuant to a resolution that a majority of the total number of Directors the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies (the "Whole Board") has duly adopted; (ii) any committee of the Board (each, a "Board Committee") the Board has duly designated and empowered to call special meetings;(iii) the chairman of the Board (the "Chairman"); and (iv) the CEO (as hereinafter defined). Except as the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation (as amended from time to time and including each certificate of designation, if any, respecting any class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation which has been executed, acknowledged and filed in accordance with applicable law, the "Certificate of Incorporation") or applicable law otherwise provides, no other Person or Persons may call a special meeting of Stockholders. Section 1.3 Notice of Meetings. By or at the direction of the Chairman or the secretary of the Corporation (the "Secretary") whenever Stockholders are to take any action at a meeting, the Corporation will give a written notice of that meeting to the Stockholders entitled to vote at that meeting which states the place, date and hour of that meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which that meeting is called. Unless the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable law otherwise provides, the Corporation will give the written notice of any meeting of Stockholders not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of that meeting. If mailed to any Stockholder, any such notice will be deemed given (whether or not delivered) when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to that Stockholder at his address as it appears in the stock records of the Corporation. -1- 5 Section 1.4 Adjournments. Any meeting of Stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business it might have transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, the Corporation will give, in accordance with Section 1.3, notice of the adjourned meeting to each Stockholder of record and entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. Section 1.5 Quorum. Except as the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable law otherwise provides: (i) at each meeting of Stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting could cast will be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum; and (ii) the holders of stock so present and entitled to vote at any duly convened meeting at which the necessary quorum has been ascertained may continue to transact business until that meeting adjourns notwithstanding any withdrawal from that meeting of shares of stock counted in determining the existence of that quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting or the Stockholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner Section 1.4 provides until a quorum attends. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity (each, an "Entity"), if the Corporation, directly or indirectly, holds a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors (or the equivalent) of that other Entity, will be neither entitled to vote nor counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing will not limit the right of the Corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, it holds in a fiduciary capacity. Section 1.6 Organization. The Chairman will chair and preside over any meeting of Stockholders at which he is present. The Board will designate the chairman and presiding officer over any meeting of Stockholders from which the Chairman is absent. The Secretary will act as secretary of meetings of Stockholders, but in his absence from any such meeting the chairman of that meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of that meeting. The chairman of any meeting of Stockholders will announce at that meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter on which the Stockholders will vote at that meeting. Section 1.7 Voting; Proxies. (a) Except as the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, each Stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of Stockholders will be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock of the Corporation he holds which has voting power on the matter in question. Each Stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of Stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy, but no proxy will be voted or acted on after three years from its date, unless that proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy will be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only so long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A Stockholder may revoke any proxy he has given for a meeting which is not irrevocable by attending that meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by delivering a proxy in accordance with applicable law bearing a later date to the Secretary. Proxies for use at any meeting of Stockholders must be filed, before or at the time of -2- 6 that meeting, with the Secretary or such other person as the Board by resolution may designate from time to time. (b) The secretary of any meeting of Stockholders will take charge of and canvass all ballots delivered at that meeting and will decide all questions relating to the qualification of voters, the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes at that meeting, unless the chairman has appointed an inspector or inspectors to decide those questions. Voting at meetings of Stockholders: (i) need not be by written ballot unless the Board, in its discretion, by resolution so requires or, in the case of any such meeting, the chairman of that meeting, in his discretion, so requires; and (ii) unless applicable law otherwise requires, need not be conducted by inspectors of election unless so determined by the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon which are present in person or by proxy at that meeting could cast. (c) At all meetings of Stockholders at which a quorum is present for the election of Directors, a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of Directors will be sufficient to elect, except as the Certificate of Incorporation may otherwise provide. In the case of any question to which the stockholder approval policy of any national securities exchange or quotation system on which capital stock of the Corporation is traded or quoted on the Corporation's application, the requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the rules and regulations thereunder (the "Code") applies, in each case for which question the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the "DGCL"), does not specify a higher voting requirement, that question will be decided by the requisite vote that stockholder approval policy, Exchange Act requirement or Code provision, as the case may be, specifies (or the highest requisite vote if more than one applies). A majority of the votes cast on the question whether to approve the appointment of independent public accountants (if that question is submitted for a vote of Stockholders) will be sufficient to approve. All other elections and questions which have properly come before any meeting will, unless the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable law otherwise provides, be decided by the vote of the holders of shares of stock of the Corporation present in person or by proxy at that meeting and having a majority of the votes entitled to vote thereon. Section 1.8 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 to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, 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 by resolution may fix a record date, which record date: (i) must not precede the date on which the Board adopts that resolution; (ii) in the case of a determination of Stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of Stockholders or adjournment thereof, will, unless applicable law otherwise requires, not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of that meeting; (iii) in the case of a determination of Stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, will not be more than 10 days from the date on which the Board adopts the resolution fixing the record date; and (iv) in the case -3- 7 of any other action, will not be more than 60 days prior to that other action. If the Board does not fix a record date: (i) the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders will 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) the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting will be (A) if applicable law does not require a prior action by the Board, the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law; and (B) if applicable law requires prior action by the Board, at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking that prior action; and (iii) the record date for determining Stockholders for any other purpose will be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of Stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders will apply to any adjournment of that meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. Section 1.9 List of Stockholders Entitled To Vote. The Secretary will prepare and make, at least 10 days before each meeting of Stockholders, a list of the Stockholders entitled to vote at that meeting which complies with the requirements of Section 219 of the DGCL as in effect at that time. Such list shall be open to examination by any Stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present at the meeting. Section 1.10 Election of Directors. (a) Subject to such rights of the holders of any class or series of the Corporation's capital stock as the Certificate of Incorporation may prescribe, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures this Section 1.10 sets forth will be eligible for election by Stockholders as Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at any meeting of Stockholders at which Directors are to be elected: (i) by or at the direction of the Board or any Board Committee the Board has duly designated and empowered to nominate persons for election as Directors; or (ii) by any Stockholder who (A) is a Stockholder of record at the time that Stockholder gives the notice this Section 1.10 specifies below, (B) will be entitled to vote at that meeting in the election of the Director for which that Stockholder is making the nomination and (C) complies with this Section 1.10. (b) For a Stockholder to bring any nomination of a person for election as a Director properly before any meeting of Stockholders, that Stockholder must have given timely notice of that nomination (a "Nomination Notice") in proper written form to the Secretary. To be timely, a Stockholder's Nomination Notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation: (i) if it relates to an election at any annual meeting of Stockholders, not later than the close of business on the 120th day and not earlier than the 180th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that, if the date of the pending annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after that anniversary date, that Nomination Notice will be timely if it is so delivered not later than the last to occur of the close of business on (A) the 120th day prior to the pending annual meeting or (B) the -4- 8 10th day following the day on which the Corporation first makes a public announcement of the date of the pending annual meeting; and (ii) if it relates to any special meeting of Stockholders, not earlier than 180 days prior to that special meeting and not later than the last to occur of the close of business on (A) the 120th day prior to that special meeting or (B) the 10th day following the day on which the Corporation first makes a public announcement of the date of that special meeting. The public disclosure of an adjournment of any annual or special meeting will not in any event commence a new time period for the giving of any Nomination Notice. (c) To be in proper written form, any Nomination Notice of a Stockholder must: (i) set forth (A) as to each person whom that Stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a Director, (1) the name, age and business address of that person, (2) the principal occupation or employment of that person, (3) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which that person owns beneficially or of record and (4) all other information, if any, relating to that person which Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder would require the Corporation or that Stockholder to disclose in a proxy statement or any other filing in connection with solicitations of proxies for an election of directors and (B) as to that Stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, of capital stock of the Corporation on whose behalf the nomination is being made, (1) the name and address of that Stockholder as they appear in the stock records of the Corporation and the name and address of that beneficial owner, (2) the class or series and the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which that Stockholder and that beneficial owner each owns beneficially or of record, (3) a description of all arrangements and understandings between that Stockholder or that beneficial owner and each proposed nominee of that Stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by that Stockholder, (4) a representation by that Stockholder that he intends to appear in person or by proxy at that meeting to nominate the person(s) named in that Nomination Notice and (5) all other information, if any, relating to that Stockholder and that beneficial owner which Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder would require the Corporation or that Stockholder to disclose in a proxy statement or any other filing in connection with solicitations of proxies for an election of directors; and (ii) be accompanied by a written consent of each person that Stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a Director to be named as such a nominee and to serve as a Director if elected. (d) Except as the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable law otherwise provides, the chairman of any meeting of Stockholders at which Directors are to be elected will have the power and duty to determine whether nominations of persons for election as Directors have been made in accordance with the procedures this Section 1.10 sets forth and, if that chairman determines that any such nomination has not been made in compliance with these procedures, to declare to that meeting that such nomination is defective and will be disregarded. (e) Notwithstanding anything in Section 1.10(b) to the contrary, if the number of Directors to be elected at an annual meeting of Stockholders is increased and the Corporation has not made a public announcement at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, which announcement (i) names all the nominees for Director of the Board or any duly designated and empowered Board Committee or (ii) specifies the size of the increased Board, a Stockholder's Nomination Notice will be timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions that increase creates, if that Nomination Notice is delivered to, or mailed and received at, -5- 9 the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which the Corporation first makes that public announcement. (f) For purposes of Section 1.11 and this Section 1.10, "public announcement" means disclosure in a press release the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or any comparable national news service in the United States reports or in a document the Corporation publicly files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the Exchange Act. (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, a Stockholder also must comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters this Section 1.10 sets forth. Section 1.11 Other Stockholder Business. (a) At any annual meeting the Corporation holds pursuant to Section 1.1, the Stockholders will transact only such business, in addition to the election of Directors, as has been properly brought before that meeting. Except as the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, to be brought properly before any annual meeting, business other than the election of Directors ("Other Business") must be (i) business the notice of that meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board specifies, (ii) business otherwise properly brought before that meeting by or at the direction of the Board and (iii) business (A) properly brought before that meeting by a Stockholder who (1) is a Stockholder of record at the time that Stockholder gives the notice this Section 1.11 specifies below, (2) will be entitled to vote on that business at that meeting and (3) complies with this Section 1.11, (B) that is a proper subject for Stockholder action and (C) is properly introduced at that meeting. (b) For a Stockholder to bring any Other Business properly before any annual meeting of Stockholders, that Stockholder must have given timely notice thereof (a "Business Notice") in proper written form to the Secretary.

The public disclosure of an adjournment of any annual meeting will not in any event commence a new time period for the giving of any Business Notice. (c) To be in proper written form, any Business Notice of a Stockholder must set forth: (i) as to each matter of Other Business that Stockholder proposes to bring before an annual meeting, (A) a brief description of that Other Business, (B) the reasons for conducting that Other Business at an annual meeting and (C) each material interest in that Other Business of that Stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, of capital stock of the Corporation on whose behalf that proposal is being made; and (ii) as to that Stockholder and each such beneficial owner, (A) the name and address of that Stockholder as they appear on the Corporation's books and the name and address of that beneficial owner, (B) the class or series and the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which that Stockholder and that beneficial owner each owns beneficially or of record, -6- 10 (C) a description of all arrangements and understandings between that Stockholder or that beneficial owner and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with that Other Business and (D) a representation by that Stockholder that he intends to appear in person or by proxy at that meeting to bring that Other Business before that meeting. (d) Except as applicable law otherwise provides, the chairman of any annual meeting of Stockholders will have the power and duty to determine whether proposals by Stockholders of any Other Business to be brought before that meeting have been made in accordance with the procedures this Section 1.11 sets forth and, if that chairman determines that any such proposal has not been made in compliance with these procedures, to declare to that meeting that such proposal is defective and will be disregarded. (e) At any special meeting the Corporation holds pursuant to Section 1.2, the Stockholders will transact only such business as (i) the notice given of that meeting pursuant to Section 1.3 sets forth and (ii) constitutes matters incident to the conduct of that meeting as the chairman of that meeting determines to be appropriate. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, a Stockholder also must comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters this Section 1.11 sets forth. Section 1.12 Approval or Ratification of Acts or Contracts by Stockholders. The Board in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of Stockholders, or at any special meeting of Stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that the holders of shares of stock of the Corporation present in person or by proxy at that meeting and having a majority of the votes entitled to vote on that approval or ratification approve or ratify will (provided that a quorum is present) be as valid and as binding on the Corporation and on all Stockholders as if every Stockholder had approved or ratified it. Section 1.13 Action By Consent of Stockholders. Unless the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, Stockholders may, without a meeting, prior notice or a vote, take any action they must or may take at any annual or special meeting, if the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present sign a written consent to that action which sets forth that action and cause the delivery of that consent to the Corporation (i) at its registered office in the State of Delaware or its principal place of business or (ii) to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the books in which the Corporation records minutes of proceedings or other actions of Stockholders. Any such delivery made to the Corporation's registered office in the State of Delaware must be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Stockholders may execute any consent pursuant to this Section 1.13 in counterparts, all of which together will constitute a single consent. Every written consent pursuant to this Section 1.13 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 earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner this Section 1.13 requires, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the -7- 11 Corporation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.13. The Corporation will give prompt notice of the taking pursuant to this Section 1.13 of any action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those Stockholders who have not consented to that action in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for that meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation as this Section 1.13 provides. Section 1.14 Conduct of Meetings. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of Stockholders as it deems appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with those rules and regulations, if any, the chairman of any meeting of Stockholders will have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of that chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of that meeting. Those rules, regulations or procedures may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to Stockholders of record, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting may determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Except to the extent the Board or the chairman of any meeting otherwise prescribes, no rules or parliamentary procedure will govern any meeting of Stockholders.

Section 2.4 Telephonic Meetings.

Section 2.5 Organization. The Chairman will chair and preside over meetings of the Board at which he is present. A majority of the Directors present at any meeting of the Board from which the Chairman is absent will designate one of their number as chairman and presiding officer over that meeting.

To call a special meeting of the Board, the Chairman or a majority of the Board must give a timely written notice to each Director of the time and place of, and the general nature of the business the Board will transact at, all special meetings of the Board. To change the time or place of any regular meeting of the Board, the Chairman or a majority of the Board must give a timely written notice to each Director of that change. To be timely, any notice this Section 2.7 requires must be delivered to each Director personally or by mail, telegraph, telecopier or similar communication at least two days before the meeting to which it relates; provided, however, that notice of any meeting of the Board need not be given to any Director who waives the requirement of that notice in writing (whether after that meeting or otherwise) or is present at that meeting. Section 2.8 Quorum; Vote Required for Action. At all meetings of the Board, the presence in person of a majority of the total number of Directors then in office will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the participation by a Director in any meeting of the Board will constitute that Director's presence in person at that meeting unless that Director expressly limits that participation to objecting to the transaction of any business at that meeting on the ground that the meeting has not been called or convened in accordance with applicable law or these Bylaws. Except in cases in which the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws otherwise provide, the vote of a majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be the act of the Board. -9- 13 Section 2.9 Informal Action by Directors. Unless the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws otherwise provides, the Board may, without a meeting, prior notice or a vote, take any action it must or may take at any meeting, if all members of the Board consent thereto in writing, and the written consents are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board the Secretary maintains. Section 2.10 Director Compensation. The Directors shall be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board and or any Board Committee, and nonmanagement Directors shall be paid such sums, retainers and fees for attending and performing services in connection with meetings of the Board or any Board Committee as the Board may fix from time to time by resolution. No such payment will preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity or from receiving compensation therefor.

(b) The Board by resolution may change the membership of any Board Committee at any time and fill vacancies on any of those committees. A majority of the members of any Board Committee will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by that committee unless the Board by resolution requires a greater number for that purpose. The Board by resolution may elect a chairman of any Board Committee. The election or appointment of any Director to a Board Committee will not create any contract rights of that Director, and the Board's removal of any member of any Board Committee will not prejudice any contract rights that member otherwise may have. (c) Pursuant to Section 3.1(a), the Board may designate an executive committee (the "Executive Committee") to exercise, subject to applicable provisions of law, all the powers of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation when the Board is not in session, including the powers to (i) declare dividends and (ii) authorize the issuance by the Corporation of any class or series of its capital stock.

The CEO also will perform such other duties and may exercise such other powers as generally pertain to his office or these Bylaws or the Board by resolution assigns to him from time to time. Section 4.3 Powers and Duties of Other Officers. The other officers of the Corporation will have such powers and duties in the management of the Corporation as the Board by resolution may prescribe and, except to the extent so prescribed, as generally pertain to their respective offices, subject to the control of the Board.

Section 4.4 Term of Office, etc. Each officer will hold office until the first meeting of the Board after the annual meeting of Stockholders next succeeding his election, and until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal. No officer of the Corporation will have any contractual right against the Corporation for compensation by reason of -11- 15 his election or appointment as an officer of the Corporation beyond the date of his service as such, except as a written employment or other contract otherwise may provide. The Board may remove any officer with or without cause at any time, but any such removal will not prejudice the contractual rights of that officer, if any, against the Corporation. The Board by resolution may fill any vacancy occurring in any office of the Corporation by death, resignation, removal or otherwise for the unexpired portion of the term of that office at any time. ARTICLE V CAPITAL STOCK Section 5.1 Certificates.

The Chairman, the president or any vice president of the Corporation and the Secretary or any assistant secretary of the Corporation may sign certificates evidencing certificated shares. Any of or all the signatures and the Corporation's seal on each such certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before the Corporation issues that certificate, the Corporation may issue that certificate with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of that issue. Section 5.2 Transfer of Shares. The Corporation may act as its own transfer agent and registrar for shares of its capital stock or use the services of such one or more transfer agents and registrars as the Board by resolution may appoint from time to time.

Section 5.3 Ownership of Shares. The Corporation will be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of its capital stock as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, will not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it has express or other notice thereof, except as the applicable laws of the State of Delaware otherwise provide. Section 5.4 Regulations Regarding Certificates. The Board will have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration or the replacement of certificates for shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Section 5.5 Lost or Destroyed Certificates. The Board may determine the conditions on which a new certificate of stock may be issued in place of a certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and may, in its discretion, require the owner of the allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or his legal representative to give bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Corporation and each transfer agent and registrar against any and all losses or claims that may -12- 16 arise by reason of the issue of a new certificate in the place of the one allegedly so lost, stolen or destroyed. ARTICLE VI INDEMNIFICATION Section 6.1 General. The Corporation will, to the fullest extent applicable law as it presently exists permits, and to such greater extent as applicable law hereafter may permit, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all judgments, penalties, fines (including excise taxes), amounts paid in settlement and, subject to Section 6.2, Expenses whatsoever arising out of any event or occurrence by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was a Director or an officer of the Corporation. The Corporation may, but need not, indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee from and against any and all judgments, penalties, fines (including excise taxes), amounts paid in settlement and, subject to Section 6.2, Expenses whatsoever arising out of any event or occurrence by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving in another Corporate Status (other than as a Director or an officer of the Corporation) at the written request of the Corporation. Section 6.2 Expenses. If any Indemnitee is, by reason of his serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, the Corporation will indemnify him against all his Expenses in connection therewith. If that Indemnitee is not wholly successful in that Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to any Matter in that Proceeding, the Corporation will indemnify him against all his Expenses relating to that Matter. The termination of any Matter against which any Indemnitee is defending himself by dismissal of that Matter with or without prejudice will constitute success of that Indemnitee with respect to that Matter. If any Indemnitee is, by reason of any Corporate Status other than his serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, the Corporation may, but need not, indemnify him against all his Expenses in connection therewith. If any Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding, the Corporation may, but need not, indemnify him against all his Expenses in connection therewith. Section 6.3 Advances. In the event of any threatened or pending Proceeding in which any Indemnitee is a party or is involved and that may give rise to a right of that Indemnitee to indemnification under this Article VI, following written request to the Corporation by that Indemnitee, the Corporation promptly will pay to that Indemnitee amounts to cover his Expenses in connection with that Proceeding in advance of its final disposition on the receipt by the Corporation of (i) a written undertaking of that Indemnitee executed by or on behalf of that Indemnitee to repay the advance if it ultimately is determined pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI or by final judgment or other final adjudication under the provisions of any applicable law that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation pursuant to these Bylaws and (ii) satisfactory evidence as to the amount of those Expenses. Section 6.4 Request for Indemnification. To request indemnification, any Indemnitee must submit to the Secretary a written claim or request therefor which contains sufficient -13- 17 information to reasonably inform the Corporation about the nature and extent of the indemnification or advance sought by that Indemnitee. The Secretary will promptly advise the Board of each such request. Section 6.5 Nonexclusivity of Rights. The rights of indemnification and advancement of Expenses this Article VI provides are not exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of Stockholders or a resolution of Directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VI or any provision hereof will be effective as to any Indemnitee for acts, events and circumstances that occurred, in whole or in part, before that amendment, alteration or repeal. The provisions of this Article VI will continue as to any Indemnitee whose Corporate Status has ceased for any reason and will inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators. Neither the provisions of this Article VI nor those of any agreement to which the Corporation is a party will preclude the indemnification of any person whom this Article VI does not specify as having the right to receive indemnification or is not a party to any such agreement, but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL. Section 6.6 Insurance and Subrogation. The Corporation will not be liable under this Article VI to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder to or for the benefit of any Indemnitee if, but only to the extent that, that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract or agreement or otherwise. In the event of any payment hereunder to or for the benefit of any Indemnitee, the Corporation will be subrogated to the extent of that payment to all the rights of recovery of that Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action the Corporation reasonably requests to secure those rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce those rights. Section 6.7 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article VI shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VI will be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable. Section 6.8 Certain Actions Where Indemnification Is Not Provided. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, no person will be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Article VI with respect to any Proceeding, or any Matter therein, brought or made by that person against the Corporation; provided, however, if any Indemnitee seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Article VI, that Indemnitee will be entitled to recover from the Corporation, and will be indemnified by the Corporation against, all his Expenses in that judicial adjudication or arbitration, but only if he prevails therein; and if it is determined in that judicial adjudication or arbitration that he is entitled to receive part of, but not all, the indemnification or advancement of expenses sought, his Expenses in connection with that judicial adjudication or arbitration will be appropriately prorated between those in respect of which this Section 6.8 entitles him to indemnification and those he must bear. -14- 18 Section 6.9 Definitions. For purposes of this Article VI: "Corporate Status" describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, provided that person is or was serving in that capacity at the written request of the Corporation. For purposes of these Bylaws, "serving at the written request of the Corporation" includes any service by an Indemnitee (at the written request of the Corporation) which imposes duties on or involves services by that Indemnitee with respect to any employee benefit plan or its participants or beneficiaries. "Expenses" of any person include all the following that are actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of that person: all reasonable attorneys' fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding.

"Matter" is a claim, a material issue or a substantial request for relief. "Proceeding" includes any action, suit, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, hearing or any other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, investigative or mediative, any appeal in any such action, suit, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, hearing or other proceeding and any inquiry or investigation that could lead to any such action, suit, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, hearing or other proceeding, except one (i) initiated by an Indemnitee to enforce his rights under this Article VI or (ii) pending on or before the date of adoption of these Bylaws. Section 6.10 Notices. Promptly after receipt by any Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of a Proceeding in respect of which he contemplates seeking any indemnification or advance or reimbursement of Expenses pursuant to this Article VI, that Indemnitee must notify the Corporation of the commencement of that Proceeding; provided, however, that (i) any delay in so notifying the Corporation will not constitute a waiver or release by that Indemnitee of any rights hereunder and (ii) any omission by Indemnitee to so notify the Corporation will not relieve the Corporation from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Article VI. Any communication required or permitted to the Corporation must be addressed to the Secretary at the Corporation's principal executive offices, and any such communication to any Indemnitee must be addressed to that Indemnitee's address as shown in the Corporation's records, unless he specifies otherwise, and must be personally delivered or delivered by overnight mail delivery. Any such notice will be effective upon receipt. -15- 19 Section 6.11 Contractual Rights. The right to be indemnified or to the advancement or reimbursement of Expenses (i) is a contract right based on good and valuable consideration pursuant to which any Indemnitee may sue as if these provisions were set forth in a separate written contract between that Indemnitee and the Corporation, (ii) is and is intended to be retroactive and will be available as to events occurring prior to the adoption of these provisions and (iii) will continue after any rescission or restrictive modification of these provisions as to events occurring prior thereto. Section 6.12 Maintenance of Insurance. The Board may from time to time authorize the Corporation to 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, employee benefit plan 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 that liability under the provisions of these Bylaws. ARTICLE VII MISCELLANEOUS Section 7.1 Offices. The Corporation's registered office shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware. The Corporation may have such other offices within and without the State of Delaware as have heretofore been established or may hereafter be established by or with the authority of the Board.

Section 7.4 Interested Directors; Quorum. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its Directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other Entity in which one or more of its Directors or officers are directors or officers (or hold equivalent offices or positions), or have a financial interest, will be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the Director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board or Board Committee which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are counted for that purpose, if: (i) the material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board or the Board Committee, and the Board or Board Committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested Directors, even though the disinterested Directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or -16- 20 transaction are disclosed or are known to the Stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of those Stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board, a Board Committee or the Stockholders. Common or interested Directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board or of a Board Committee which authorizes the contract or transaction. Section 7.5 Form of Records. Any records the Corporation maintains in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account, and minute books, may be kept on, or be in the form of, punch cards, magnetic tape, photographs, microphotographs or any other information storage device, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible form within a reasonable time. Section 7.6 Bylaw Amendments. The Board has the power to adopt, amend and repeal from time to time the Bylaws of the Corporation, subject to the right of Stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to amend or repeal those Bylaws as adopted or amended by the Board. Bylaws of the Corporation may be adopted, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66.7%of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of all classes of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors, voting together as a single class, at any annual meeting, or at any special meeting if notice of the proposed amendment is contained in the notice of that special meeting, or by the Board as specified in the preceding sentence. Section 7.7 Notices; Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any Stockholder, Director or member of any Board Committee under the provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, that notice will be deemed to be sufficient if given (i) by telegraphic, facsimile, cable or wireless transmission or (ii) by deposit of the same in the United States mail, with postage paid thereon, addressed to the person entitled thereto at his address as it appears in the records of the Corporation, and that notice will be deemed to have been given on the day of such transmission or mailing, as the case may be.
