HB ACQUISITION CORP.

(a California corporation)

ARTICLE I - SHAREHOLDERS

1. CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES. Each certificate for shares of the
corporation shall set forth thereon the name of the record holder of the shares
represented thereby, the number of shares and the class or series of shares
owned by said holder, the par value, if any, of the shares represented thereby,
and such other statements, as applicable, prescribed by Sections 416-419,
inclusive, and other relevant Sections of the General Corporation Law of the
State of California (the "General Corporation Law") and such other statements,
as applicable, which may be prescribed by the Corporate Securities Law of 1968
of the State of California and any other applicable provision of law. Each such
certificate issued shall be signed in the name of the corporation by the
Chairman of the Board of Directors, if any, or the Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors, if any, the President, if any, or a Vice President, if any, and by
the chief financial officer or a Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer or the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Any or all of the signatures on a
certificate for shares may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or
registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a
certificate for shares shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or
registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation
with the same effect as if such person were an officer, transfer agent or
registrar at the date of issue.

In the event that the corporation shall issue the whole or any
part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the
consideration to be paid therefor, any such certificate for shares shall set
forth thereon the statements prescribed by Section 409 of the General
Corporation Law.

The corporation may issue a new certificate for shares or for any
other security in the place of any other certificate theretofore issued by it,
which is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. As a condition to such
issuance, the corporation may require any such owner of the allegedly lost,
stolen or destroyed certificate or any such owner's legal representative to give
the corporation a bond, or other adequate security, sufficient to indemnify it
against any claim that may be made against it, including any expense or
liability, on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such
certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

2. FRACTIONAL SHARES. Subject to, and in compliance with, the
provisions of Section 407 and any other provisions of the General Corporation
Law the corporation may, but need not, issue fractions of a share originally or
upon transfer. If the corporation does not issue fractions of a share, it shall
in connection with any original issuance of shares arrange for the disposition
of fractional interest by those entitled thereto, or pay in cash the fair value
of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such
fractions are determined, or issue scrip or warrants in registered or bearer
form which shall entitle the holder to receive a certificate for a full share
upon the surrender of such scrip or warrants aggregating a full share. A
certificate for a fractional share shall, but scrip or warrants shall not unless
otherwise provided therein, entitle the holder to exercise voting rights, to
receive dividends thereon and to participate in any of the assets of the
corporation in the event of liquidation. The Board of Directors may cause scrip
or warrants to be issued subject to the condition that they shall become void if
not exchanged for a certificate or certificates representing a full share or
full shares, as the case may be, before a specified date or that any of the
shares for which scrip or warrants are exchangeable may be sold by the
corporation, and any proceeds thereof distributed to the holder of any such
scrip or warrants or any other condition which the Board of Directors may
impose.

3. SHARE TRANSFERS. Upon compliance with any provisions of the
General Corporation Law and/or the Corporate Securities Law of 1968 which may
restrict the transferability of shares, transfers of shares of the corporation
shall be made only on the record of shareholders of the corporation by the
registered holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of
attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the corporation or with a
transfer agent or a registrar, if any, and on surrender of the certificate or
certificates for such shares properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes, if
any, due thereon.

4. RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDERS. In order that the corporation
may determine the shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote or
be 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
other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date,
which shall not be more than sixty days or fewer than ten days prior to the date
of such meeting or more than sixty days prior to any other action.

If the Board of Directors shall not have fixed a record date as
aforesaid, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or
to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the
business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is
waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the

day on which the meeting is held; the record date for determining shareholders
entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when
no prior action by the Board of Directors has been taken, shall be the day on
which the first written consent is given; and the record date for determining
shareholders 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, or the
sixtieth day prior to the date of such other action, whichever is later.

A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of
or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the
meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned
meeting, but the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date if the meeting
is adjourned for more than forty-five days from the date set for the original
meeting.

Except as may be otherwise provided by the General Corporation
Law, shareholders at the close of business on the record date shall be entitled
to notice and to vote or to receive any dividend, distribution or allotment of
rights or to exercise the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any
transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date.

5. MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS. As used in these Bylaws in respect
of the right to notice of a meeting of shareholders or a waiver thereof or to
participate or vote thereat or to assent or consent or dissent in writing in
lieu of a meeting, as the case may be, the term "share" or "shares" or
"shareholder" or "shareholders" refers to an outstanding share or shares and to
a holder or holders of record of outstanding shares when the corporation is
authorized to issue only one class of shares, and said reference is also
intended to include any outstanding share or shares and any holder or holders of
