ARTICLE I - STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. Annual Meeting.

An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to
succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business
as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at ten o'clock a.m. or
such other time as is determined by the Board of Directors, on such date (other
than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday) as is determined by the Board of
Directors, which date shall be within thirteen (13) months subsequent to the
later of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders,
and at such place as the Board of Directors shall each year fix.

Section 2. Special Meetings.

Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred
stock of the Corporation, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation
may be called only by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by
a majority of the total number of directors authorized. Special meetings of the
stockholders may be held at such place within or without the State of Delaware
as may be stated in such resolution.

Section 3. Notice of Meetings.

Written notice of the place, date, and time of all meetings of the
stockholders shall be given, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60)
days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder
entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or
required by law (meaning, here and hereinafter, as required from time to time by
the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation).

When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, written notice
need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, date and time thereof
are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided,
however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty (30) days
after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record
date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, date, and
time of the adjourned meeting shall be given in conformity herewith. At any
adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the original meeting.

Section 4. Quorum.

At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of all of
the shares of the stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, unless or except to the
extent that the presence of a larger number may be required by law. Where a
separate vote by a class or classes is required, a majority of the shares of
such class or classes present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute
a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter.

If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the meeting
or the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote who are
present, in person or by proxy, may adjourn the meeting to another place, date,
or time.

Section 5. Organization.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors or, in his or her absence, such
person as the Board of Directors may have designated or, in his or her absence,
the chief executive officer of the Corporation or, in his or her absence, such
person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to
vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall call to order any meeting of
the stockholders and act as chairman of the meeting. In the absence of the
Secretary of the Corporation, the secretary of the meeting shall be such person
as the chairman of the meeting appoints.

Section 6. Conduct of Business.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors or his or her designee or, if
neither the Chairman of the Board nor his or her designee is present at the
meeting, then a person appointed by a majority of the Board of Directors, shall
preside at, and act as chairman of, any meeting of the stockholders. The
chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business
and the procedures at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of
voting and the conduct of discussion as he or she deems to be appropriate.

Section 7. Proxies and Voting.

At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder entitled to vote may
vote in person or by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing filed in
accordance with the procedure established for the meeting.

Each stockholder shall have one (1) vote for every share of stock entitled
to vote which is registered in his or her name on the record date for the
meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law.

All voting, including on the election of directors but excepting where
otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon
demand therefor by a stockholder entitled to vote or his or her proxy, a vote by
ballot shall be taken.

Except as otherwise provided in the terms of any class or series of
preferred stock of the Corporation, all elections shall be determined by a
plurality of the votes cast, and except as otherwise required by law, all other
matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast.

Section 8. Action Without Meeting.

Any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of
stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting
of such 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 (1) signed and dated 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 (2) delivered to the Corporation within sixty (60)
days of the earliest dated consent by delivery to its registered office in the
State of Delaware (in which case delivery shall be by hand or by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested), 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 9. Stock List.

A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing
the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in his
or her name, shall be open to the examination of any such stockholder, for any
purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of
at least ten (10) 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 stock list shall also be kept at the place of the meeting during the
whole time thereof and shall be open to the examination of any such stockholder
who is present. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the
stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by
each of them.

annual meeting or at any special meeting of stockholders. The directors shall be
elected at the annual meeting or at any special meeting of the stockholders,
except as provided in Section 2 of this Article, and each director elected shall
hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified, unless sooner
displaced. Directors need not be stockholders.

Section 2. Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships.

Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred
stock of the Corporation to elect directors, newly created directorships
resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any
vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation,
retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause may be filled
only by a majority vote of the directors then in office, though less than a
quorum, or the sole remaining director. No decrease in the number of authorized
directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any
incumbent director.

Section 3. Resignation and Removal.

at its principal place of business or to the chief executive officer or
