Section 5. At each meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder having the right to vote may vote in person or may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy appointed by such stockholder by such means as is permitted by law. All proxies must be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation at the beginning of each meeting in order to be counted in any vote at the meeting.

The officer or agent who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, as required by applicable law. The list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. The stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine such list or to vote at any meetings of stockholders.

Section 10. No action shall be taken by stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and stockholders may not act by written consent.

The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. If inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more stockholders or proxies, the holders of a majority of shares or their proxies present at the meeting shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed.

The Secretary, or, in his absence, any person appointed by the Chairman, shall act as secretary of all meetings of the stockholders.

Section 13. The order of business at all meetings of stockholders shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting.

Section 14. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of the stockholders except in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set forth in this Section 14; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 14 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with said procedures.

At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (1) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (2) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (3) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days prior to the date of the anniversary of the annual meeting of the Corporation's stockholders held in the prior year, except that if no annu al meeting was held in the prior year or the date of the upcoming annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the date of the prior year's annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the last to occur of (a) the tenth day (or, if such day is not a business day, on the next business day) following the day on which a public announcement of the date of the upcoming annual meeting is made and (b) the ninetieth (90^th) day (or, if such day is not a business day, on the next business day) before the date of the upcoming annual meeting. Any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the original meeting whereby the meeting will reconvene within 30 days from the original date shall be deemed for purposes of notice to be a continuation of the original meeting and no business may be brought before any such reconvened meeting unless timely notice of such business was given to the Secretary of the Corporation for the meeting as originall y scheduled. A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and their reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such business.

The Chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

Section 15. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set forth in this Section 15 shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation.

Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders only (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (2) by any stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice of procedures set forth in this Section 15. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (a) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than 90 days prior to the date of the anniversary of the annual meeting of the Corporation's stockholders held in the prior year, except that if no annual meeting was held in the prior year or the date of the upcoming annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the date of the prior year's annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the last to occur of (i) the tenth day (or, if such day is not a business day, on the next business day) following the day on which a public announcement of the date of the upcoming annual meeting is made and (ii) the ninetieth (90^th) day (or, if such day is not a business day, on the next business day) before the date of the upcoming annual meeting; or (b) in the case of a special meeting called by the Board of Directors (or by a committee of the Board) for the purpose of electing directors, not more than 10 days following the earlier of the date of notice of such special meeting or the date on which a public announcement of such meeting is made. Any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the original meeting whereby the meeting will reconvene within 30 days from the original date shall be deemed for purposes of notice to be a continuation of the original meeting and no nominations by a shareholder of persons to be elected directors of the Corporation may be made at any such reconvened meeting other than pursuant to a notice that was timely for the meeting on the date originally scheduled. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth: (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor regulation thereto (including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice (A) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of such stockholder, and (B) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially ow ned by such stockholder. At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a director shall furnish to the Secretary of the Corporation that information required to be set forth in a stockholder's notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee.

The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by this Section 15, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

ARTICLE III

Directors

Section 1. The Board of Directors shall consist of a minimum of four (4) and a maximum of ten (10) directors. The number of directors shall be fixed from time to time within the minimum and the maximum number established by the then elected Board of Directors. The number of directors until changed by the Board shall be seven (7). The maximum number of directors may not be increased by the Board of Directors to exceed ten (10) without the affirmative vote of 75% of the members of the entire Board. The directors need not be stockholders. No officer of the Corporation may serve on a board of directors of any company having a present or retired employee on the Corporation's Board of Directors. No person associated with an organization whose services are contracted by the Corporation shall serve on the Corporation's Board of Directors, provided however that this prohibition may be waived by a majority of the members of the whole Board if the Board in its judgment determines that such waiver would be in the best interest of the Corporation.

Section 2. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III. The number of directors in each class shall be the whole number contained in the quotient arrived at by dividing the authorized number of directors by three, and if a fraction is also contained in such quotient then if such fraction is one-third (1/3), the extra director shall be a member of Class III, and if the fraction is two-thirds (2/3), one of the extra directors shall be a member of Class III and the other a member of Class II. Each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected; provided, however, that the directors initially appointed to Class I shall serve for a term ending on the date of the first annual meeting next following September 30, 1990, the directors initially appointed to Class II shall serve for a term ending on the date of the second annual meeting next following September 30, 1990, and the directors initially appointed to Class III shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting next following September 30, 1990. One class of the directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the stockholders. If any such annual meeting is not held or the directors are not elected thereat, the directors may be elected at any special meeting of stockholders held for that purpose. The election of directors shall be by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors at each meeting of the stockholders at which a quorum is present. All directors shall hold office until their respective successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Section 3. A director who is also an employee of the Corporation shall cease to be qualified to serve as a director, and such director's term of office as a director shall automatically terminate, (a) upon any diminution in such director's duties or responsibilities as an officer, (b) at the time such director leaves the employ of the Corporation for any reason or (c) on such director's 70th birthday. Subject to the succeeding sentences, a director who is not also an employee of the Corporation shall cease to be qualified to serve as a director, and such director's term of office as a director shall automatically terminate on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders following his 70th birthday. The requirements of the second sentence of this section shall not apply to a director who is 71 years old and serving on the Corporation's Board of Directors as of December 4, 2003; such person shall be eligible to continue to serve until the end of the three-year term in which he is currently serving and shall also be eligible to be nominated for election to an additional three-year term at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2004 and to serve until the end of the three-year term for which he is elected. Any director may be removed for cause by the holders of a majority of the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors; stockholders may not remove any director without cause. The Board of Directors may not remove any director for or without cause, and no recommendation by the Board of Directors that a director be removed for cause may be made to the Stockholders except by the affirmative vote of not less than 75% of the members of the whole Board.

Section 4. Except as otherwise provided by statute or the Certificate of Incorporation, in the case of any increase in the number of directors, the newly created directorship or directorships resulting from such increase shall be apportioned by the board of directors to such class or classes as shall, so far as possible, bring the number of directors in the respective classes into conformity with the formula in Section 2 hereof as applied to the new authorized number of directors, and, unless such position is to be filled by a vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting, the additional director or directors to fill such newly created directorship or directorships shall be elected by a majority vote of the directors then in office. In the case of any vacancy in the Board of Directors, however created, the vacancy or vacancies shall be filled by majority vote of the directors then in office. In the event one or more directors shall resign, effective at a future date, such vacancy or vacancies shall be filled as provided herein. Directors so chosen or elected shall hold office for the remaining term of the directorship to which appointed. Any director elected or chosen as provided herein shall serve for the unexpired term of office or until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

In the event of any decrease in the authorized number of directors, (a) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he is a member until the expiration of his current term, or his prior death, resignation or removal, and (b) the newly eliminated directorships resulting from such decrease shall be apportioned by the board of directors to such class or classes as shall, so far as possible, bring the number of directors in the respective classes into conformity with the formula in Section 2 hereof as applied to the new authorized number of directors.

Section 5. The property and business of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authorities by these Bylaws expressly conferred upon them, the Board may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

Special meetings shall be called by the President or the Secretary in like manner and on like notice on the written request of any two directors unless the Board consists of only one director, in which case special meetings shall be called by the President or Secretary in like manner and on like notice on the written request of the sole director.

Section 9. At all meetings of the Board of Directors a majority of the authorized number of directors shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum, shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. If only one director is authorized, such sole director shall constitute a quorum. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for such meeting.

Section 10. Unless otherwise restricted by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

If no alternate members have been appointed, the committee member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any absent or disqualified member. The Board of Directors shall, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one member of each committee as chairman of such committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers an d authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, but no such committee shall have the power or authority to authorize an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, adopt an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommend to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets, recommend to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or amend the Bylaws of the Corporation; and, unless the resolution or the Certificate of Incorporation expressly so provide, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock.

No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.
