Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed
and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than

except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II, Section
2. The officer of the Corporation presiding at an annual meeting shall, if the

be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a
majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders entitled to vote
thereat, present in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting from
time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a
quorum shall be present or represented by proxy. 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. If the
adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new
record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned
meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 5. Voting. Unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of
Incorporation, the rules or regulations of The Nasdaq National Market or any
stock exchange applicable to the
-2-
Corporation or these Bylaws, any question (other than the election of directors)
brought before any meeting of stockholders shall be decided by the vote of the
holders of a majority of the stock represented and entitled to vote thereat. At
all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the
votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. Each stockholder represented at a
meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to cast one vote for each share of the
capital stock entitled to vote thereat held by such stockholder, unless
otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation. Such votes may be cast
in person or by proxy but no proxy shall be voted after three years from its
date, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. The Board of Directors, in
its discretion, or the officer of the Corporation presiding at a meeting of
stockholders, in his discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting
shall be cast by written ballot.
Section 6. List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The officer of the
Corporation who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare
and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a

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 (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 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 of the Corporation who is
present.
Section 7. Stock Ledger. The stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the
only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock
ledger, the list required by Section 6 of this Article II or the books of the
Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 8. Adjournment. Any meeting of the stockholders, including one at

entitled to vote at an election of directors. Unless otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships
resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or from any
other cause may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office,

the Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive Officer or the President or Chief
Operating Officer or a majority of the entire Board of Directors. Notice thereof
stating the place, date and hour of the meeting shall be given to each director
either by mail not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the date of the

the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at all meetings of the Board
of Directors or any committee thereof, a majority of the entire Board of
Directors or such committee, as the case may be, shall 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 of
Directors or such committee, as the case may be. If a quorum shall not be
present at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof, a
majority of the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to
time until a quorum shall be present.
Section 6. Actions of Board of Directors. Unless otherwise provided by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted
to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof
may be taken without a meeting, if all the members of the Board of Directors or
committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or
writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or
committee.
Section 7. Meetings by Means of Conference Telephone. Unless otherwise
provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the
Board of Directors of the Corporation, or any committee designated by the Board
of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such
committee by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment
by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other,
and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Article III, Section 7 shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.
Section 8. Committees. The Board of Directors may designate one or more
committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the
Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as
alternate members of any committee, who may replace any disqualified member at
any meeting of any such committee. In the disqualification of a member of a
committee, and in the absence of a designation by the Board of Directors of an
alternate member to replace the disqualified member, the member or members
thereof present at any meeting
-5-
and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum,
may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the
meeting in the place of any disqualified member. Any committee, to the extent
allowed by law and provided in the resolution establishing such committee, shall
have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in
the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation. Each committee
shall keep regular minutes and report to the Board of Directors when required.
Section 9. Compensation. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any,
of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed
amount (in cash or other form of consideration) for attendance at each meeting
of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall
preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and
receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may
be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.
Section 10. Interested Directors. No contract or transaction between the
Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between 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 (i) the material facts as to his or their
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 (ii) the material facts as to
his or their 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 (iii) 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.
