THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
BYLAWS
OF
MASTEC, INC.

Amended and Restated as of December 12, 2007

ARTICLE I

SHAREHOLDERS

     Section 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation shall be held, either within or without the State of Florida on the third Monday in May of each year, or on such other date as the Board of Directors may determine, and at such place and at such time as the Board of Directors may determine and designate in the notice of the meeting. The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held for the election of directors of the Corporation and for any other proper business as may properly come before the meeting.

     Section 2. Special Meeting. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Board of Directors or by the Chairman or the President. Additionally, a special meeting of the shareholders shall be called by the President or by the Secretary upon the written request of the holders of record of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of stock of the Corporation, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, unless the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation require a greater or lesser percentage. A special meeting of the shareholders may be held at such times and at such place either within or without the State of Florida as may be designated in the notice of the special meeting. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed special meeting.

     Section 3. Notice of Meetings. Except as may be provided by statute, written notice of an annual or special meeting of shareholders stating the time, place, date and purpose of every meeting of shareholders shall be delivered personally, by first-class mail, or by electronic means not less than ten days nor more than sixty days prior to the date of the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at his/her address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation with postage thereon prepaid or at such other address as shall be furnished in writing by him/her to the Corporation for such purpose. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law or by these Bylaws. Attendance of a person at a meeting of shareholders in person or by proxy constitutes a waiver of notice of the meeting except where the shareholder, at the beginning of the meeting, objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting.

     Section 4. Quorum. The holders of record of at least a majority of the shares of the stock of the Corporation, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall, except as otherwise provided by law or by the Articles of Incorporation, constitute a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders. When a quorum has been established, all shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of shareholders may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. If, however, such quorum shall not be initially

present at any meeting of shareholders, a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall nevertheless have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time and to another place, without notice other than announcement at the meeting of the date, place and time the meeting will be reconvened, until a quorum shall be present or represented. 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 called. 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 shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.

     Section 5. Organization of Meetings. Meetings of the shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if there be one, or if he/she is not present, by the President, or if he/she is not present, by a chairman to be chosen at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, or in his/her absence an Assistant Secretary, shall act as Secretary of the meeting, if present. Otherwise, the Chairman of the meeting shall designate a recording secretary.

     Section 6. Voting. At each meeting of shareholders, except as otherwise provided by law or the Articles of Incorporation, every shareholder shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of stock entitled to vote held by such shareholder. Except as otherwise expressly required by the Articles of Incorporation, elections of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting and, except as otherwise provided by statute or the Articles of Incorporation, all other action shall be authorized if the holders of the majority of shares present and voting at the meeting approve such action. Each proxy to vote a share of stock shall be in writing and signed by the shareholder of record or by his/her duly authorized agent or representative. A proxy is not valid after the expiration of 11 months after its date unless the person executing it specifies therein the time period for which the proxy is to continue in force. Unless prohibited by law, a proxy otherwise validly granted by telegram or electronic means shall be deemed to have been signed by the granting shareholder. The presiding officer of the meeting shall inspect the election and decide all questions regarding the qualification of voters, the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes. At all elections of directors, the voting shall be by ballot or in such other manner as may be determined by the shareholders present in person or by proxy entitled to vote at such election. A complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at each such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order and voting group, with the address of each, and the number, class and series of shares registered in the name of each shareholder, shall be prepared by the Secretary or the transfer agent and shall be open to the examination of any shareholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting or such shorter time as exists between the record date and the meeting and continuing through 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 at the office of the Corporation’s transfer agent or registrar. 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 shareholder who is present.

     Section 7. Inspectors of Election. The Board of Directors in advance of any meeting of shareholders may appoint one or more Inspectors of Election to act at the meeting or any

adjournment thereof. If Inspectors of Election are not so appointed, the Chairman of the meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder entitled to vote shall, appoint one or more Inspectors of Election. Each Inspector of Election, before entering upon the discharge of his/her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of Inspector of Election at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his/her ability. If appointed, Inspectors of Election shall take charge of the polls and, when the vote is completed, shall make a certificate of the result of the vote taken and of such other facts as may be required by law.

     Section 8. Action by Consent. Unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders, or any other action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Within 10 days after obtaining such authorization by written consent, notice shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing. The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action and, if the action is of a type for which dissenters’ rights are provided for by statute, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of shareholders dissenting therefrom to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with further provisions of such statute regarding the rights of dissenting shareholders.

     Section 9. Notice of Shareholder Business and Nominations.

     (a) Annual Meeting of Shareholders. (1) The proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders, other than nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors, may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders: (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof or (iii) by any shareholder of the Corporation who was a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 9, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 9 and the shareholder proposal requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8 (of the Proxy Rules promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934).

     (2) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made for an annual meeting of shareholders: (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, or (ii) by or at the direction of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The shareholders shall have the right to recommend persons for nomination by submitting such recommendation, in written form, to the Corporation’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Such recommendation shall be delivered to or mailed to and received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 120 calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the date that the Corporation’s proxy statement was released to shareholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders, except that if no annual meeting of shareholders was held in the preceding year or if the date of the annual meeting of shareholders has been changed by more than 30 calendar days from the date contemplated at the time of the preceding year’s proxy statement, the notice shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 150 calendar days prior to the date of the contemplated annual meeting or the date that is 10 calendar days after the

date of the first public announcement or other notification to shareholders of the date of the contemplated annual meeting, whichever first occurs. Such written recommendations shall include: (i) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the shareholder recommending such person; (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by such shareholder; (iv) the dates upon which the shareholder acquired such shares; (v) documentary support for any claim of beneficial ownership. Additionally, such recommendation shall include, as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to recommend to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for nomination to election or reelection as director, all information relating to such person that is required by Rule 14a-4 (of the Proxy Rules promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934) to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected, and evidence satisfactory to the Corporation that such nominee has no interests that would limit their ability to fulfill their duties of office. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall review such recommendations and make nominations that the committee feels are in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders. Nothing herein shall require the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to nominate the persons recommended.

     (3) For business, other than nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors, to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 9(a)(1), the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must be a proper matter for shareholder action. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed to and received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 120 calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the date that the Corporation’s proxy statement was released to shareholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders, except that if no annual meeting of shareholders was held in the preceding year or if the date of the annual meeting of shareholders has been changed by more than 30 calendar days from the date contemplated at the time of the preceding year’s proxy statement, the notice shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 150 calendar days prior to the date of the contemplated annual meeting or the date that is 10 calendar days after the date of the first public announcement or other notification to shareholders of the date of the contemplated annual meeting, whichever first occurs. A shareholder’s written notice shall set forth with respect to any proposal such shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting; (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the shareholder proposing such business; (iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by such shareholder; (iv) the dates upon which the shareholder acquired such shares; (v) documentary support for any claim of beneficial ownership; (vi) any material interest of such shareholder in such business; and (vii) a statement in support of the matter and, for proposals sought to be included in the Corporation’s proxy statement, any other information required by Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 14a-8. In addition, if the shareholder intends to solicit proxies from the shareholders of the Corporation, such shareholder shall notify the Corporation of this intent

in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 14a-4 and Rule 14a-8, as applicable.

     (b) Special Meetings of Shareholders. (1) For business to be properly brought before a special meeting of shareholders called by a shareholder, other than nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors which are at the direction of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the shareholder must give timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation at least 120 calendar days prior to the date of the special meeting.

     (2) Such shareholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth with respect to any proposal such shareholder proposes to bring before the special meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the special meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting; (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the shareholder proposing such business; (iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by such shareholder; (iv) the dates upon which the shareholder acquired such shares; (v) documentary support for any claim of beneficial ownership; (vi) any material interest of such shareholder in such business; and (vii) a statement in support of the matter and, for proposals sought to be included in the Corporation’s proxy statement, any other information required by Rule 14a-8. In the event the shareholder desires to recommend one or more persons for nomination for election to the Board of Directors at the special meeting, the shareholder shall deliver such recommendations, in writing, to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at least 120 calendar days prior to the date of the special meeting. The recommendations shall be received by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (care of the Secretary). Such written recommendations shall include, as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to recommend to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for nomination to election or reelection as director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected, and evidence satisfactory to the Corporation that such nominee has no interests that would limit their ability to fulfill their duties of office. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall review such recommendations and make nominations that the committee feels are in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders. Nothing herein shall require the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to nominate the persons recommended.

     (c) Compliance with this Section 9. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual or special meeting of shareholders except business brought before such meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article I, Section 9; provided, however, that, once business has been properly brought before such meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Article I, Section 9 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any shareholder of any such business. If the chairman of such meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the

foregoing procedures, the chairman shall declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not be considered or transacted.

ARTICLE II

DIRECTORS

     Section 1. Number, Quorum, Term, Vacancies, Removal. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the shareholders. The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall consist of at least six and not more that twelve persons, the actual number to be determined by a resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board or by a vote of the holders of record of at least a majority of the shares of stock of the Corporation, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the shareholders, except as provided in this Section of this Article, and each director elected shall hold office for the term elected and until his/her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his/her death, resignation or removal. The Board of Directors may elect a Director to be the Chairman of the Board, who shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors and of the shareholders, and shall have and perform such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him/her by the Board of Directors. Directors need not be shareholders of the Corporation.

     A majority of the members of the Board of Directors then holding office (but not less than one-third of the total number of directors nor less than two directors) shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. At all meetings of a committee of the Board a majority of the directors then members of the committee in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The act of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors or the committee, unless the vote of a larger number is specifically required by statute, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws. If at any meeting of the Board or a committee, there shall be less than a quorum present, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time and to another place without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

     The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes which shall be denominated Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively, and whose members shall be as nearly equal in number as may be possible, to serve for the following terms and until their successors shall have been elected and shall have been qualified and unless sooner displaced or removed: Class I to serve until the Annual Meeting of the Corporation’s Shareholders in 2002; Class II to serve until the Annual Meeting of the Corporation’s Shareholders in 2003; and Class III to serve until the Annual Meeting of the Corporation’s Shareholders in 2004. Thereafter, at each subsequent Annual Meeting of Shareholders the successors to the Class of directors whose term shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding Annual Meeting.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled, voting separately as a

Class, to elect directors, the terms of all directors elected by such holders shall expire at the next succeeding Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

     Whenever any vacancy shall have occurred in the Board of Directors by reason of death, resignation, an increase in the number of directors or otherwise, the vacancy shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum of the Board, or by the shareholders (except as otherwise provided by law or the Articles of Incorporation), and the person so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until his/her successor is duly elected and has qualified or until his/her death, resignation or removal.

     At a meeting of shareholders, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, solely with cause and provided the notice of the meeting states that one of the purposes of the meeting is the removal of the director or directors. A director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove him/her constitutes at least a majority of the votes of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. “Cause” shall mean the failure of a director to substantially perform such director’s duties to the Corporation (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness) or the willful engaging by a director in gross misconduct injurious to the Corporation.

     Section 2. Meetings, Notice. Regular or special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such place either within or without the State of Florida, as may from time to time be fixed by resolution of the Board, or as may be specified in the notice of meeting. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such times as may from time to time be fixed by resolution of the Board and, unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, regular meetings of the Board may be held without notice of the date, time, place or purpose of the meeting. Special meetings may be held at any time upon the call of two directors, the Chairman of the Board, if one be elected, or the President, by oral, telegraphic or other forms of written or electronic notice, duly served on or sent or mailed to each director (including via electronic means) not less than twenty-four hours before such meeting. The notice need not specify the business to be transacted or the purpose of the special meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board or committee by means of 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 Section shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not be given to any director who signs a waiver of notice either before or after the meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of the meeting except where a director states, at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival at the meeting, any objection to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

     Section 3. Committees. The Board of Directors shall create and maintain, as standing committees of the Board of Directors, an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, with such duties and functions as set forth in the respective charters and as below described. Additionally, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, by resolution adopted by a majority of the whole Board, designate from among its members one or more other committees which shall consist of two or

more directors. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any such committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Each committee shall have and may exercise such powers as shall be conferred or authorized by the resolution creating the committee and the charter governing such committee; provided, however, such a committee shall not have the power or authority to:

     (a) approve or recommend to shareholders actions or proposals required by statute to be approved by the shareholders,

     (b) fill vacancies on the Board of Directors or any committee thereof,

     (c) adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation,

     (d) authorize or approve the reacquisition of shares unless pursuant to a general formula or method specified by the Board of Directors, or

     (e) authorize or approve the issuance or sale or contract for the sale of shares, or determine the designation and relative rights, preferences and limitations of a voting group, except that the Board of Directors may authorize a committee (or a senior executive officer of the Corporation) to do so within limits specifically prescribed by the Board of Directors.

     A majority of any such committee may determine its action, keep regular minutes of its meetings and fix the time and place of its meetings, unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise provide. Except as set forth in the committee charter, the Board shall have power at any time to change the membership of any such committee, to fill vacancies in it, or to dissolve it.

     The standing committees of the Board of Directors shall have the functions and duties as set forth beside their names and as further set forth in the resolutions creating the committee or in the respective charters:

Audit Committee: The Audit Committee shall assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to: (i) the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Corporation to the public or any governmental body; (ii) the Corporation’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) the Corporation’s systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting and legal compliance; (iv) the qualifications and independence of the Corporation’s independent auditors; (v) the performance of the Corporation’s internal audit function and independent auditors; (vi) the Corporation’s auditing, accounting, and financial reporting processes generally; (vii) produce the report of the Audit Committee annually for inclusion in the proxy statement; and (viii) the performance of such other functions as the Board may assign from time to time.

Compensation Committee: The Compensation Committee shall assist the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to the compensation of the Corporation’s executives. The Committee shall also be responsible for producing the annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in the Corporation’s annual proxy statement, as well as carrying out any other functions as the Board may assign from time to time.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall assist the Board in (i) identifying and attracting highly qualified individuals to serve as directors of the Corporation; (ii) selecting director

nominees for the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation; (iii) developing and maintaining a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Corporation; (iv) implementing and enforcing a Code of Conduct and Ethics applicable to all employees and consultants; and (v) the performance of such other functions as the Board may assign from time to time.

     Section 4. Action by Consent. Unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation, 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 prior to or after such action, a written consent or consents thereto is signed by all members of the Board, or of such committee as the case may be, and such written consent or consents is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee. Such consents shall have the same effect as a vote of the Board or committee for all purposes.

     Section 5. Compensation. The Board of Directors may determine, from time to time, the amount of compensation which shall be paid to its members. The Board of Directors shall also have power, in its discretion, to allow a fixed sum and expenses for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board, or of any committee of the Board; in addition, the Board of Directors shall also have power, in its discretion, to provide for and pay to directors rendering services to the Corporation not ordinarily rendered by directors, as such, special compensation appropriate to the value of such services, as determined by the Board from time to time.

     Section 6. Resignation. A director may resign by written notice to the Corporation. The resignation is effective upon its delivery to the Corporation or a subsequent time as set forth in the notice of resignation.

ARTICLE III

OFFICERS

     Section 1. Title and Election. The Board of Directors at each annual meeting of directors shall elect such officers as the Board shall deem necessary, including a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, one or more Vice Presidents (one or more of whom may be designated Executive Vice President or Senior Vice President), Assistant Vice Presidents, Assistant Secretaries and Assistant Treasurers, who shall exercise such powers and perform such duties as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Any number of offices may be held by the same person, unless the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws otherwise provide. The Board of Directors may designate any such officer as the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer or Chief Financial Officer, as from time to time shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

     Section 2. Term of Office. The officers shall hold office until their resignation or removal or until their successors are chosen and qualify.

     Section 3. Resignation and Removal of Officers. An officer may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Corporation and such resignation is effective when the notice is delivered, unless the notice specifies a later effective date and time. Acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any officer elected by the Board of

Directors may be removed, either with or without cause, at any time, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors.

     Section 4. Vacancies. Any vacancy in office resulting for any reason, whether death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or otherwise, may be filled by the Board of Directors or by any officer authorized by the Board of Directors or these Bylaws to appoint such officer.

     Section 5. Powers and Duties. Each officer has the authority and shall perform the duties set forth below or, to the extent consistent with these Bylaws, the duties prescribed by the Board of Directors or by direction of an officer authorized by the Board of Directors to prescribe the duties of officers.

     (a) Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board, if one be elected, shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors and of the shareholders and shall perform such other duties as may from time to time be assigned by the Board of Directors.

     (b) President. The President shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, and, in the absence of the Chairman, shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors and of the shareholders. The President shall exercise the powers and perform the duties that are customary for the Chief Executive Officer and, subject to the control of the Board of Directors, shall have general management and control of the affairs and business of the Corporation. The President shall have the power to make and execute contracts on behalf of the Corporation and to delegate such power to others. The President also shall have such powers and perform such duties as are specifically imposed or directed by these Bylaws and as may be assigned by the Board of Directors.

     (c) Vice Presidents. If chose, the Vice Presidents, in the order of their seniority, shall perform such duties as Vice Presidents customarily perform and shall perform such other duties and shall exercise such other powers as the President or the Board of Directors may from time to time designate. The Vice President, in the absence or disability of or at the direction of the President, shall perform the duties and exercise the powers of the President.

The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or

its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful.

     Section 2. Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he/she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof. Such indemnification shall be authorized if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this Section in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

     Section 3. Successful Defense. To the extent that a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he/she shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection therewith.

     Section 4. Specific Authorization. Any indemnification under Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article (unless pursuant to a determination by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he/she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in said Sections 1 and 2. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such proceeding; (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which directors who are parties may participate) consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; or (3) by independent legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors prescribed in paragraph (1) of this Section or the committee prescribed in paragraph (2) of this Section or, if a quorum of the directors cannot be obtained for paragraph 1 and the committee cannot be designated under paragraph 2, selected by majority vote of the full Board of Directors (in which directors who are parties may participate); or (4) by the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of shareholders who were not parties to such proceeding or, if no such quorum is obtainable, by a majority vote of shareholders who were not parties to such proceeding.

Expenses incurred by any person who may have a right of indemnification under this Article in defending a civil or criminal proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if he/she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification by the Corporation pursuant to this Article. Expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be paid in advance upon such terms or conditions that the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

     Section 6. Right of Indemnity Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement or expenses provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive, and the Corporation may make any other or further indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, under any bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his/her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified.

In case any officer or officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the Corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates shall have been delivered by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the Corporation and be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures’ shall have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers.

     (d) If the shares being issued are of different classes of shares or different series within a class, the designations, relative rights, preferences, and limitations applicable to each class of shares and the variations in rights, preferences, and limitations determined for each series within a class (and the authority of the Board of Directors to determine variations for future series) shall be summarized on the front or back of each certificate.

Following such surrender, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to cancel the old certificate, issue a new certificate or uncertificated shares to the person entitled thereto and record the transaction upon the books of the Corporation. (b) In the case of uncertificated shares, upon the receipt by the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner or duly authorized agent, transferee or legal representative thereof, such uncertificated shares shall be cancelled, issuance of new equivalent uncertificated shares or certificated shares shall be made to the person entitled thereto and the transaction shall be recorded upon the books of the Corporation.

The Board may in its discretion, before the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares, require the owner of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate, or the legal representative of the owner, to make an affidavit or affirmation setting forth such facts as to the loss, destruction or mutilation as it deems necessary, and to give the Corporation a bond in such reasonable sum as it directs to indemnify the Corporation.
