of notice thereof.

Section 2. The Annual Meeting of Stockholders shall be held on such
date and at such time as may be fixed by the Board and stated in the notice
thereof, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of only
such other business as is properly brought before the meeting in accordance with
these Bylaws.
SPECIAL MEETING
Section 3. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of
preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, of the corporation (the "Preferred
Stock") to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, special
meetings of the stockholders shall be called by the Board. Special meetings
shall be held at such date and at such time as the Board may designate.

Section 4. Written notice of each meeting of stockholders, stating the
place, date and hour of the meeting, and the purpose or purposes thereof, shall
be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of such
meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat.
QUORUM
Section 5. Unless otherwise provided by statute, the holders of shares
of stock entitled to cast a majority of votes at a meeting, present either in
person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at such meeting. The Secretary of
the corporation or in his absence an Assistant Secretary or an appointee of the
presiding officer of the meeting, shall act as the Secretary of the meeting.

person or by proxy, for each share held of record on the record date fixed as
provided in Section 4 of Article V of these Bylaws for determining the
stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting. At all meetings of stockholders
for the election of directors a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient
to elect. All other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the rules or
regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the corporation, or applicable
law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the corporation or its
securities, be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in
voting power of the shares of stock of the corporation which are present in
person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon.
Elections of directors need not be by written ballot; provided,
however, that by resolution duly adopted, a vote by written ballot may be
required.

Section 7. 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 revoking the proxy or by
delivering a proxy in accordance with applicable law bearing a later date to the
Secretary of the corporation. In order to be exercised at a meeting of
stockholders, proxies shall be delivered to the Secretary of the corporation or
his representative at or before the time of such meeting.

opened and closed, the proxies and ballots shall be received and be taken in
charge and all questions touching the qualification of voters and the validity
of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided by three
Inspectors, two of whom shall have power to make a decision. Such Inspectors
shall be appointed by the Board before the meeting, or in default thereof by the
presiding officer at the meeting, and shall be sworn to the faithful performance
of their duties. If any of the Inspectors previously appointed shall fail to
attend or refuse or be unable to serve, substitutes shall be appointed by the
presiding officer.

with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, 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 or prescribed by
the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i)
