Section 2.04Quorum.  Adjourned Meetings.  The holders of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any annual or special meeting.  If a quorum is not present at a meeting, those present shall adjourn to such day as they shall agree upon by majority vote.  Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  At adjourned meetings at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.  If a quorum is present, the stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

Section 2.05Organization.  At each meeting of the stockholders, the Chairman of the Board or in his absence the President or in his absence the chairman chosen by a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present in person or proxy and entitled to vote

shall act as chairman; and the Secretary of the Corporation or in his absence an Assistant Secretary or in his absence any person whom the chairman of the meeting shall appoint shall act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 2.07Voting.  Each stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders should have one vote in person or by proxy for each share of stock having voting rights held by him and registered in his name on the books of the Corporation.  Upon the request of any stockholder, the vote upon any question before a meeting shall be by written ballot, and all elections of directors shall be by written ballot.  All questions at a meeting shall be decided by a majority vote of the number of shares entitled to vote represented at the meeting at the time of the vote except where otherwise required by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.  For the election of directors, the persons receiving the largest number of votes (up to and including the number of directors to be elected) shall be directors.

Section 2.08Inspectors of Election.  At each meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of such meeting may appoint two inspectors of election.  Each inspector of election so appointed shall first subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute the duties of an inspector of election at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.  Such inspectors of election, if any, shall take charge of the ballots at such meeting and after the balloting thereat on any question shall count the ballots cast thereon and shall make a report in writing to the Secretary of such meeting of the results thereof.  An inspector of election need not be a stockholder of the Corporation, and any officer or employee of the Corporation may be an inspector of election on any question other than a vote for or against his election to any position with the corporation or on any other question in which he may be directly interested.

Section 2.09Notices of Meetings and Consents.  Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or by statute, a written notice of each annual and special meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of such meeting to each stockholder of record of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting by delivering such notice of meeting to him personally or depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to him at the post office address shown upon the records of the Corporation.  Service of notice is complete upon mailing.  Every notice of a meeting of stockholders shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

Section 2.11Waiver of Notice.  Notice of any annual or special meeting may be waived either before, at or after such meeting in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to the notice.  Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transacting of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 2.12Written Action.  Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the actions so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be required to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.  Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

Section 5.01Shares of Stock.  The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be represented by a certificate, provided that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of the stock of the Corporation shall be uncertificated shares.  Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation.  Notwithstanding the adoption of any such resolution providing for uncertificated shares, every holder of stock of the Corporation theretofore represented by certificates and, upon request, every holder of uncertificated shares, shall be entitled to a certificate, to be in such form as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors, certifying the number of shares in the Corporation owned by such holder.  The certificates for such shares shall be numbered in the order in which they shall be issued and shall be signed in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.  Every certificate surrendered to the Corporation for exchange or transfer shall be cancelled, and no new certificate or certificates shall be issued in exchange for any existing certificate until such certificate shall have been so cancelled, except in cases provided for in Section 5.04.

Section 5.04Loss of Certificates.  Any stockholder claiming a certificate for stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed shall make an affidavit of that fact in such form as the Board of Directors may require and shall, if the Board of Directors so requires, give the Corporation a bond of indemnity in form, in an amount, and with one or more sureties satisfactory to the Board of Directors, to indemnify the Corporation against any claims

7

which may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of the certificate or issuance of such new certificate.  The Corporation may then issue (a) a new certificate or certificates of stock or (b) uncertificated shares, for the same number of shares represented by the certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
