STOCKHOLDERS
------------
Section 1.1 Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of stockholders shall
---------------
be held for the election of directors at such date, time and place, either
within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by resolution of
the Board of Directors from time to time. Any other proper business may be
transacted at the annual meeting.
Section 1.2 Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any
----------------
purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, or by a
committee of the Board of Directors that has been duly designated by the Board
of Directors and whose powers and authority, as expressly provided in a
resolution of the Board of Directors, include the power to call such meetings,
but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons.
Section 1.3 Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or
------------------
permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall
be given that shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the
case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is
called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or
these by-laws, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than
ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder
entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be
given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the
stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation.
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 which
might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for
more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed
for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to
each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 1.5 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the
------
certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, at each meeting of stockholders
the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority in voting power
of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be
necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the
stockholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to
time in the manner provided in Section 1.4 of these by-laws until a quorum shall
attend. Shares
2
of its own stock belonging to the corporation or to another corporation, if a
majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such
other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, shall
neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the corporation or any
subsidiary of the corporation to vote stock, including, but not limited to, its
own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.
Section 1.6 Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided
------------
over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the Vice
Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the President, or in his
absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a
chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the
meeting, but in his absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person
to act as secretary of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall announce
at the meeting of stockholders the date and time of the opening and the closing
of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote.
Section 1.7 Voting; Proxies. Except as otherwise provided by the
---------------
certificate of incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting
of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by
him which has voting power upon 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 such proxy shall be voted or acted upon
after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and
only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an
irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable
by attending the 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 of the corporation. Voting
at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot. At all meetings of
stockholders for the election of directors, directors shall be elected 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. All other
elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by law, the certificate
of incorporation or these by-laws, be decided by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock which are present
in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and 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 of
directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date
upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of
Directors, and which record date: (a) in the case of determination of
stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment
thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty nor
less than ten days before the date of such meeting; (b) in the case of
determination of stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in
writing without a meeting, shall not be more than ten days from the date upon
which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of
3
Directors; and (c) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than sixty
days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed: (i) the record date
for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
stockholders shall 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, when no prior action of the Board of
Directors is required by law, shall be 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, or, if prior action by the
Board of Directors is required by law, shall be at the close of business on the
day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior
action; and (iii) the record date for determining stockholders for any other
purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of
Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of
stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however,
that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
Section 1.9 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The Secretary
-------------------------------------
shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders,
a complete list of 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, 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. Upon the willful
neglect or refusal of the directors to produce such a list at any meeting for
the election of directors, they shall be ineligible for election to any office
at such meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be
the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock
ledger, the list of stockholders or the books of the corporation, or to vote in
person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 1.10 Action by Consent of Stockholders. Unless otherwise
---------------------------------
restricted by the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted
to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken
without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or
consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the
holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes
that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which
all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be
delivered (by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested)
to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of
Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the
corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of
stockholders are recorded. 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 1.11 Inspectors of Election. The corporation may, and shall if
----------------------
required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more
inspectors of election,
4
who may be employees of the corporation, to act at the meeting or any
adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The corporation may
designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector
who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated is
able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting
shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector,
before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an
oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and
according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so
appointed or designated shall (a) ascertain the number of shares of capital
stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share,
(b) determine the shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the
meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (c) count all votes and
ballots, (d) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the
disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and
(e) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the
corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors' count of all votes
and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information
as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies
and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the
inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No
person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector
at such election. If required by law, the date and time of the opening and the
closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a
meeting shall be announced at the meeting. To the extent required by law, no
ballot, proxies or votes, nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, shall
be accepted by the inspector or inspectors after the closing of the polls unless
the Court of Chancery upon application by a stockholder shall determine
otherwise.
Section 1.12 Conduct of Meetings. The Board of Directors of the
-------------------
corporation may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct
of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the
extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of
Directors, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and
authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such
acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper
conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted
by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may
include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda
or order of business for the meeting; (b) rules and procedures for maintaining
order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (c) limitations on
attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the
corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons
as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (d) restrictions on entry to the
meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (e) limitations
on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the
extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting,
meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the
rules of parliamentary procedure.

otherwise.

---------------------
any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director,

--------------
notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed
equivalent to 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
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any
regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a
committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

the corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other
organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or
officers, or have a financial interest, shall 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 of Directors or committee thereof which
authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are
counted for such purpose, if: (a) the material facts as to his relationship or
interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the
Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or 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 (b) the
11
material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or
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 the stockholders; or (c) the contract or transaction is fair as to
the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the
Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders. Common or
interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a
meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes the
contract or transaction.
Section 7.5 Form of Records. Any records maintained by the corporation
---------------
in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of

amended or repealed or new by-laws may be adopted by the stockholders or by the
Board of Directors, when such power is conferred upon the Board of Directors by
the Certificate of Incorporation, at any regular meeting of the stockholders or
of the Board of Directors or at any special meeting of the stockholders or of
the Board of Directors if notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or
adoption of new by-laws be contained in the notice of such special meeting. If

Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation it shall not divest or limit the
power of the stockholders to adopt, amend or repeal by-laws.
