        Section 2.    Annual Meetings.    Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held on such date and at such time set by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting, at which the stockholders shall elect members of the Board, and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

        Section 3.    Special Meetings.    Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board, or by a committee of the Board that has been duly designated by the Board and whose powers and authority, as provided in a resolution of the Board or in the Bylaws of the Corporation, include the power to call such meetings, and shall be called by the president or secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the Board, or at the request in writing of stockholders owning a majority in amount of the entire capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons; provided, however, that if and to the extent that any special meeting of stockholders may be called by any other person or persons specified in any provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or any amendment thereto, or any certificate filed under Section 151(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (or its successor statute as in effect from time to time hereafter), then such special meeting may also be called by the person or persons in the manner, at the times and for the purposes so specified. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

        Section 7.    Voting.    In all matters, the vote of the holders of a majority of the capital stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of applicable law, of the Certificate of Incorporation, or of these Bylaws a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to cast one vote for each share of the capital stock entitled to vote held by such stockholder. The officer of the Corporation presiding at a meeting of stockholders, in his or her discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

        Section 8.    Proxies.    Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize in writing another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy, but no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after eleven months from its date, unless the person executing the proxy specifies therein the period of time for which it is to continue in force.

If the Chairman of the Election Meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, such nomination shall be void.

        Section 4.    Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships.    Any vacancy in the Board caused by death, resignation, removal or otherwise, or through an increase in the number of directors of a class, shall be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors, or by the sole remaining director.

Notice of the time, place and purpose of any such meeting shall be given to the directors by the Secretary, or in case of his or her absence, refusal or inability to act, by any other officer. Any such notice may be given by mail, by telegraph, by telephone, by personal service, or by any thereof as to different directors. If the notice is by mail, then it shall be deposited in a United States Post Office at least four days before the time of the meeting; if by telegraph, by deposit of the message with the telegraph company at least forty-eight hours before the time of the meeting; if by telephone or by personal service, at least forty-eight hours before the time of the meeting.

        Section 8.    Quorum.    At all meetings of the Board a majority of the whole Board shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by applicable law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws. Any meeting of the Board may be adjourned to meet again at a stated day and hour. Even though no quorum is present, as required in this Section, a majority of the directors present at any meeting of the Board, either regular or special, may adjourn from time to time until a quorum be had, but no later than the time fixed for the next regular meeting of the Board. Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given.

        Section 9.    Fees and Compensation.    Each Director and each member of a committee of the Board shall receive such fees and reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of the corporation or in attending meetings as the Board may from time to time determine.

        Section 10.    Meetings by Telephonic Communication.    Members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in a regular or special meeting of such Board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, if the standing resolutions fixing the time and place of a regular meeting or if the notice of the time and place of any regular or special meeting provides for such participation. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

        Section 11.    Committees.    The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee and if the Board has not designated one or more alternates (or if such a designation has been made, in the absence or disqualification of such alternate(s)), the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he, she or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member or alternate. Any such committee, to the extent provided in a resolution of the Board shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution; and, unless a resolution expressly so provides, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of capital stock.

        Section 2.    Waiver of Notice.    Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto.

ARTICLE XV

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

        Section 1.    Right to Indemnification.    Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action or inaction in an official capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Delaware, as the same exist or may hereafter be amended, against all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding; shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

        Section 2.    Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.    If a claim under Section 1 of this Article is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has failed to meet a standard of conduct which makes it permissible under Delaware law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is permissible in the circumstances because he or she has met such standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has failed to meet such standard of conduct.

        Section 3.    Non-Exclusivity of Rights.    The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article shall not

9



be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

        Section 4.    Insurance.    The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability, loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under Delaware law.

        Section 5.    Expenses as a Witness.    To the extent that any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation is by reason of such position, or a position with another entity at the request of the Corporation, a witness in any action, suit or proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified against all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith.

        Section 6.    Indemnity Agreements.    The Corporation may enter into agreements with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation providing for indemnification to the full extent permitted by Delaware law.
