3.    EARNINGS PER SHARE
      ------------------

      Basic  earnings  per share  amounts  are  computed  based on the  weighted
average  number  of  shares  actually  outstanding.   For  purposes  of  diluted
computations,  the number of shares  that would be issued  from the  exercise of
stock  options  has been  reduced by the number of shares  which could have been
purchased from the proceeds at the average  market price of the Company's  stock
or price of the Company's  stock on the exercise date if options were  exercised
during the period presented.

      The weighted average shares  outstanding for the periods  presented are as
follows (in thousands):

                                               For the twelve weeks ended        For the twenty-four weeks ended
                                               --------------------------        -------------------------------
                                             June 12, 2001     June 13, 2000     June 12, 2001      June 13, 2000
                                             -------------     -------------     -------------      -------------

Basic average shares outstanding                 24,032          26,232             24,033                27,304
Diluted average shares outstanding               24,032(a)       27,148             24,900                27,834


(a)   Basic and diluted  shares  outstanding  are the same for the twelve  weeks
      ended  June 12,  2001,  since  the  diluted  share  computations  would be
      anti-dilutive.

                                      -6-




4.    LONG - TERM REVOLVER
      --------------------

      The Company has entered into a $20 million  revolving  term loan agreement
with a bank,  under which no  borrowings  were  outstanding  at June 12, 2001 or
December  26,  2000.  The loan  commitment  matures in April  2005 and  requires
interest only  payments  through April 2003, at which time the loan will convert
to a term note with  monthly  principal  and  interest  payments  sufficient  to
amortize the loan over its  remaining  term.  The interest  rate is at the daily
prime rate as published  in the Wall Street  Journal.  In addition,  the Company
pays a facility fee of 1/4 of one percent on the unused portion of the facility.

5.    TREASURY STOCK TRANSACTIONS
      ---------------------------

      The Board of Directors has  authorized  the Company to purchase  shares of
the  Company's  common  stock  in the open  market  or in  privately  negotiated
transactions.  Pursuant  to the  authorization,  the Company  purchased  339,187
shares of its common stock during the twenty-four  weeks ended June 12, 2001, at
an average  price of $10.22 per share and  4,134,600  shares of its common stock
during the  twenty-four  weeks ended June 13, 2000, at an average price of $9.22
per share.  The Company is accounting for the purchases  using the  constructive
retirement method of accounting  wherein the aggregate par value of the stock is
charged to the  common  stock  account  and the excess of cost over par value is
charged to paid-in capital.

6.    STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
      ------------------------

      Financial  Accounting  Standard  Board  Interpretation  No.  44 (FIN  44),
"ACCOUNTING  FOR  CERTAIN   TRANSACTIONS   INVOLVING  STOCK   COMPENSATION,   AN
INTERPRETATION  OF APB NO. 25" became  effective  July 1, 2000. FIN 44 requires,
among other things, that stock options,  which have been modified after December
15, 1998 to reduce the  exercise  price,  be accounted  for as  variable.  Under
variable  plan  accounting,  compensation  expense is adjusted for  increases or
decreases in the fair market value of the Company's  common stock based upon the
changes  in the  common  stock  price from the value of $10.125 at July 1, 2000.
Variable plan accounting is applied to the modified awards until the options are
exercised,  forfeited or expire  unexercised.  The Company  repriced  options in
fiscal 1999 and 2000 which are subject to the  accounting  provisions of FIN 44,
and at June 12, 2001, there were options outstanding for approximately 4,715,000
shares affected by this accounting requirement.  Because the market price of the
Company's  common stock exceeded the $10.125  threshold price for the first time
in the  quarter  ended  June 12,  2001,  the  Company  recorded  non-cash  stock
compensation expense of $14,435.

      In each subsequent quarter, the Company will record an additional non-cash
charge or benefit related to the repriced  options then  outstanding  based upon
the change in the  Company's  common stock price as compared to the price at the
beginning of the previous quarter.

7.    STOCK OPTIONS
      -------------

During  the  twenty-four  weeks  ended June 12,  2001,  the  Company  granted to
non-executive  employees and  non-employee  directors  stock options to purchase
300,608 and 20,400  shares of common  stock,  respectively,  at exercise  prices
ranging  from  $8.875 to $9.00 per  share,  the  market  price at date of grant,
pursuant to its 1992 stock option plans.

                                      -7-





8.    RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
      ------------------------------------

      In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Statements  Board (FASB) issued
Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 133  "ACCOUNTING  FOR
DERIVATIVE  INSTRUMENTS  AND  HEDGING  ACTIVITIES,"  which the  Company  adopted
effective December 27, 2000. The statement requires the Company to recognize all
derivatives  on the balance  sheet at fair  value.  Derivatives  not  considered
hedges must be adjusted  to fair value  through  income.  If a  derivative  is a
hedge,  depending  on the nature of the hedge,  changes in the fair value of the
derivative  will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged
asset,  liability or firm commitment  through  earnings,  or recognized in other
comprehensive  income  until the hedged  item is  recognized  in  earnings.  The
ineffective  portion of a derivative's  change in fair value will be immediately
recognized in earnings.  The  Company's  adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have a
significant effect on its results of operations or financial position.

9.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT
      ----------------

In July 2001,  the Board of Directors  declared  the  Company's  quarterly  cash
dividend of $.125 per share payable July 27, 2001 to  stockholders  of record on
July 13, 2001.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

      The following  discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction  with
the  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  including the notes thereto
included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

      During 1998, the Company  completed the  construction  of twelve Lone Star
Steakhouse & Saloon ("Lone Star") restaurants. The Company opened one restaurant
in 1999,  one in 2000 and four to date in fiscal  2001.  The Company  intends to
open the remaining six restaurants during fiscal 2001.

      The Company  has seven sites  available  for future  development,  five of
which  are owned and two of which are  under  lease.  There  were 245  operating
domestic  Lone Star  restaurants  as of June 12, 2001.  In  addition,  licensees
operate  three Lone Star  restaurants  in  California,  one in Guam,  and one in
Canada.

      The Company currently  operates five Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House
("Del Frisco's") restaurants,  including the New York City and Las Vegas, Nevada
restaurants which opened in 2000. A licensee operates a Del Frisco's in Orlando,
Florida.

      The   Company   currently   operates   fifteen    Sullivan's    Steakhouse
("Sullivan's")  restaurants,  including  the  Sullivan's  restaurant  opened  in
Tucson, Arizona in November 2000.

      Internationally,  the Company currently  operates 26 Lone Star restaurants
in Australia.  The Company closed nine  restaurants in Australia during 2000 and
an additional five restaurants in January 2001.

LONE STAR STEAKHOUSE & SALOON, INC.

TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JUNE 12, 2001 COMPARED TO TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JUNE 13, 2000
                          (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)

      Net sales  increased  $1,882 (1.4%) to $136,069 for the twelve weeks ended
June 12, 2001 compared to $134,187 for the twelve weeks ended June 13, 2000. The
increase was  principally  attributable  to the additional  sales of $4,112 from
five new domestic Lone Star restaurants,  one new Sullivan's  restaurant and one
new Del Frisco's restaurant opened since June 2000. In addition, increased sales
are  attributed  to the  fact  that the  Company  has  expanded  the  number  of
Sullivan's  restaurants opened on Sundays during fiscal 2001. The increases were
partially  offset  by the  impact  of  the  14  Australian  Lone  Star's  closed
subsequent  to August 2000.  Same store sales  increased  0.1% compared with the
comparable prior year period.

      Costs of sales, primarily food and beverages, decreased as a percentage of
sales to 35.0% from 35.2% due primarily to a small increase in menu prices and a
change in the menu mix in the upscale restaurants.

      Restaurant  operating  expenses  for the twelve  weeks ended June 12, 2001
increased  $3,665 from $62,662 in 2000, to $66,327 and increased as a percentage
of net sales from 46.7% to 48.7%. The increase in restaurant  operating expenses
is attributable  to increases in labor,  advertising,  utility rates,  primarily
natural  gas,  and  certain   insurance  costs.  The  increases  in  labor  were
attributable primarily to costs associated with adding and training new managers
and  retaining  existing  personnel.  In addition,  labor costs and  pre-opening
expenses increased due to new store openings.

      Depreciation  and  amortization  decreased  $182 in the twelve weeks ended
June 12, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. The decrease is  attributable
primarily to the restaurants closed since August 2000.

      General and  administrative  expenses  increased $871 compared to the same
period in 2000.  The  increases  in general  and  administrative  expenses  were
attributable  primarily to increases in professional fees, travel expenses,  and
recruiting costs.

      Non-cash  stock  compensation  expense for the twelve weeks ended June 12,
2001 was $14,435. Financial Accounting Standard Board Interpretation No. 44 (FIN
44),  "ACCOUNTING  FOR CERTAIN  TRANSACTIONS  INVOLVING STOCK  COMPENSATION,  AN
INTERPRETATION  OF APB NO. 25" became  effective  July 1, 2000. FIN 44 requires,
among other things, that stock options,  which have been modified after December
15, 1998 to reduce the  exercise  price,  be accounted  for as  variable.  Under
variable  plan  accounting,  compensation  expense is adjusted for  increases or
decreases in the fair market value of the Company's  common stock based upon the
changes  in the  common  stock  price from the value of $10.125 at July 1, 2000.
Variable plan accounting is applied to the modified awards until the options are
exercised,  forfeited or expire  unexercised.  The Company  repriced  options in
fiscal 1999 and 2000 which are subject to the  accounting  provisions of FIN 44,
and at June 12, 2001, there were options outstanding for approximately 4,715,000
shares affected by this accounting requirement.  Because the market price of the
Company's  common stock exceeded the $10.125  threshold price for the first time
in the  quarter  ended  June 12,  2001,  the  Company  recorded  non-cash  stock
compensation expense of $14,435.

                                      -11-


      In each subsequent quarter, the Company will record an additional non-cash
charge or benefit related to the repriced  options then  outstanding  based upon
the change in the  Company's  common stock price as compared to the price at the
beginning of the previous quarter.

      Other  income,  net,  for the twelve  weeks  ended June 12, 2001 was $628,
compared  to $393 in 2000.  The  increase is  attributable  to a gain on sale of
assets of $224.

      The  effective  income tax rates for the twelve  weeks ended June 12, 2001
and the twelve weeks ended June 13, 2000 were 33.5% and 35.4%, respectively. The
change in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the impact of FICA
Tip and other tax credits.

LONE STAR STEAKHOUSE & SALOON, INC.

TWENTY-FOUR  WEEKS ENDED JUNE 12, 2001 COMPARED TO TWENTY-FOUR  WEEKS ENDED JUNE
13, 2000
                          (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)

      Net sales increased  $6,379 (2.3%) to $279,821 for the  twenty-four  weeks
ended June 12, 2001  compared to $273,442 for the  twenty-four  weeks ended June
13, 2000. The increase was principally  attributable to the additional  sales of
$7,595  from  five  new  domestic  Lone  Star  restaurants,  one new  Sullivan's
restaurant  and one new Del  Frisco's  restaurant  opened  since June  2000.  In
addition,  increased  sales  are  attributed  to the fact that the  Company  has
expanded the number of Sullivan's  restaurants  opened on Sundays  during fiscal
2001.  The increases  were  partially  offset by the impact of the 14 Australian
Lone Star's closed  subsequent to August 2000.  Same store sales  increased 1.2%
compared with the comparable prior year period.

      Costs of sales, primarily food and beverages, increased as a percentage of
sales to 34.8%  from  34.7%  due  primarily  to a higher  mix of sales  from Del
Frisco's and  Sullivan's  which tend to have  slightly  higher food and beverage
costs.  The cost of sales  increase was offset  partially by a small increase in
menu prices initiated primarily in the second quarter.

      Restaurant  operating  expenses for the  twenty-four  weeks ended June 12,
2001  increased  $8,460 from  $125,772 in 2000,  to $134,232 and  increased as a
percentage  of net  sales  from  46.0% to  48.0%.  The  increase  in  restaurant
operating   expenses  is  attributable  to  increases  in  labor,   advertising,
maintenance of buildings and equipment,  certain  insurance  costs and increased
utility rates,  primarily  natural gas. The increases in labor were attributable
to increased  hourly labor costs  created by a continuing  tight labor market as
well as costs  associated  with adding and training  new managers and  retaining
existing personnel. In addition,  labor costs increased as a result of new store
openings.  The increases in restaurant  operating expenses were partially offset
by a decrease in pre-opening expenses.

      Depreciation  and  amortization  decreased $278 in the  twenty-four  weeks
ended  June 12,  2001  compared  to the same  period in 2000.  The  decrease  is
attributable primarily to the restaurants closed since August 2000.

      General and administrative  expenses decreased $1,313 compared to the same
period in 2000.  The  decreases  in general  and  administrative  expenses  were
attributable  primarily  to  decreases in software  consulting  and  development
costs,  and field  supervision  costs  including  salaries and travel related to
those restaurants  closed since August 2000. The decreases were partially offset
by an increase in recruiting costs.

      Non-cash stock  compensation  expense for the twenty-four weeks ended June
12,  2001  was  $14,435.  See  Note 6 to the  Notes  To  Condensed  Consolidated
Financial Statements included elsewhere herein for additional information.

      Other  income,  net,  for the  twenty-four  weeks  ended June 12, 2001 was
$2,327, compared to $809 in 2000. The increase is attributable to a gain on sale
of assets of $1,605.

      The effective  income tax rates for the  twenty-four  weeks ended June 12,
2001 and the  twenty-four  weeks  ended  June 13,  2000 were  31.0%  and  35.4%,
respectively.  The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily  attributable
to the impact of FICA Tip and other tax credits.

                                      -13-




IMPACT OF INFLATION

      The  primary  inflationary  factors  affecting  the  Company's  operations
include food and labor costs. A number of the Company's restaurant personnel are
paid at the federal and state established minimum wage levels and,  accordingly,
changes in such wage levels affect the Company's labor costs. However, since the
majority of personnel are tipped employees,  minimum wage changes generally have
little  effect on overall  labor  costs.  Recently  the Company has  experienced
significant increases in utility costs,  particularly natural gas. Historically,
as food, labor, and most recently, utility costs have increased, the Company has
been able to offset these  increases  through menu price increases and economies
of scale; however,  there may be delays in the implementation of such menu price
increases or in effecting  timely  economies  of scale,  as well as  competitive
pressures which may limit the Company's ability to recover any cost increases in
its  entirety.  To date,  inflation  has not had a material  impact on operating
margins.

                   (a)  Each   stockholder   shall  at  every   meeting  of  the
            stockholders be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock
            held by him.

                   (b)  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.

                   (c) Directors shall be elected by a plurality vote.

                   (d) Each matter,  other than election of directors,  properly
            presented to any meeting shall be decided by a majority of the votes
            cast on the matter.

                                      -2-





                   (e)  Election of  directors  and the vote on any other matter
            presented to a meeting shall be by written ballot only if so ordered
            by the chairman of the meeting or if so requested by any stockholder
            present or represented  by proxy at the meeting  entitled to vote in
            such election or on such matter, as the case may be.

            SECTION 1.7 Adjourned  Meetings.  A meeting of  stockholders  may be
adjourned to another time or place as provided in Section 1.4 or 1.6(d).  Unless
the Board of Directors  fixes a new record date,  stockholders  of record for an
adjourned  meeting shall be as originally  determined for the meeting from which
the  adjournment  was taken.  If the adjournment is for more than 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  of record
entitled to vote. At the adjourned  meeting any business may be transacted  that
might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

            SECTION 1.8 Consent of Stockholders  in Lieu of Meeting.  Any action
that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders  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 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. Notice of taking of such action
shall be given  promptly to each  stockholders  that would have been entitled to
vote thereon at a meeting of  stockholders  and that did not consent  thereto in
writing.

            SECTION 1.9 List of Stockholders  Entitled to Vote. At least 10 days
before  every  meeting  of  stockholders  a  complete  list of the  stockholders
entitled to vote at the meeting,  arranged in alphabetical order and showing the
address of each  stockholder and the number of shares  registered in the name of
each stockholder,  shall be prepared and 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 10 days prior to the meeting,  at a place within
the city where the meeting is to be held.  Such list shall be produced  and kept
at the time and place of the  meeting  during the whole time  thereof and may be
inspected by any stockholder who is present.

            SECTION  1.10 Fixing of Record Date.  In order that the  Corporation
may determine the  stockholders  entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting
of stockholders or any adjournment  thereof,  or to express consent to corporate

                                      -3-



action in  writing  without a meeting,  or  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 change, conversion or exchange of stock or
for the purpose of any other lawful  action,  the Board of Directors may fix, in
advance,  a record  date,  which  shall not be more than 60 or less than 10 days
before  the date of such  meeting,  nor  more  than 60 days  prior to any  other
action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders
entitled  to notice of or to vote at a meeting of  stockholders  shall be at the
close of business on the day next  preceding  the day on which  notice is given,
or, if notice is waived,  at the close of business on the day next preceding day
on which the  meeting is held;  the  record  date for  determining  stockholders
entitled to express  consent to corporate  action in writing  without a meeting,
when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on
which the first written consent is expressed;  and the record date 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.


                                   ARTICLE TWO

                                    DIRECTORS

            SECTION 2.1 Number.  The number of directors  that shall  constitute
the whole  Board of  Directors  shall  initially  be four,  which  number may be
changed  from time to time as  determined  by  action of the Board of  Directors
taken by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Whole Board of Directors.

            SECTION 2.2  Election and Term of  Director.  The  directors of this
Corporation  shall be divided into three classes,  with respect to the time that
they  severally  hold office,  as nearly  equal in number as possible,  with the
initial  term of office of the first  class of  directors  to expire at the 2001
annual meeting of stockholders  of the  Corporation  and until their  respective
successors are elected and  qualified,  the initial term of office of the second
class of directors to expire at the 2002 annual meeting of  stockholders  of the
Corporation and until their respective  successors are elected and qualified and
the initial term of office of the third class of directors to expire at the 2003
annual meeting of stockholders  of the  Corporation  and until their  respective
successors  are  elected  and  qualified.  Directors  elected to  succeed  those
directors  whose  terms have  thereupon  expired  shall be elected for a term of
office to expire at the third  succeeding  annual meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation  after their  election  and until their  respective  successors  are
elected and qualified.

                                      -4-




            SECTION 2.3 Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies.

            (a) If the number of directors is changed,  any increase or decrease
shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain or attain, if possible,
the  equality of the number of  directors  in each class,  but in no case will a
decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent  director.
If such equality is not possible,  the increase or decrease shall be apportioned
among the classes in such a way that the  difference  in the number of directors
in any two classes shall not exceed one.

            (b)  Vacancies and newly created  directorships  resulting  from any
increase in the authorized  number of directors may be filled only by a majority
of the directors then in office,  although less than a quorum, and a director so
chosen  shall hold office,  subject to Sections  2.4 and 2.5, for the  unexpired
portion of the term of the class in which such  director was chosen to serve and
until his successor is elected and qualified.

            SECTION 2.4 Resignation.  Any director of the Corporation may resign
at any  time by  giving  written  notice  of such  resignation  to the  Board of
Directors,  the  President  or  the  Secretary  of  the  Corporation.  Any  such
resignation  shall take effect at the time  specified  therein or, if no time be
specified,  upon  receipt  thereof  by  the  Board  of  Directors  or one of the
above-named  officers;  and, unless  specified  therein,  the acceptance of such
resignation  shall  not be  necessary  to make it  effective.  When  one or more
directors shall resign from the Board of Directors effective at a future date, a
majority of the directors then in office,  including those who have so resigned,
shall have power to fill such  vacancy or  vacancies,  the vote  thereon to take
effect when such resignation or resignations  shall become  effective,  and each
director so chosen shall hold office as provided in these By-Laws in the filling
of other vacancies.

            SECTION 2.5 Remova1.  Unless  these  By-Laws or the  Certificate  of
Incorporation otherwise provides,  where the Board of Directors is classified as
provided in Section 141(d) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, any director
or the entire Board of Directors may be removed by stockholders  only for cause,
and the  affirmative  vote of the holders of outstanding  stock  representing at
least  eighty  percent  (80%) in the amount of the entire  capital  stock of the
Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors, or the
affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Whole Board, shall be required to
effect such removal.

                                      -5-





            SECTION 2.6 Regular and Annual Meetings, Notice. Regular meetings of
the Board of Directors  Shall be held at such time and at such place,  within or
without the State of Delaware,  as the Board of Directors  may from time to time
prescribe.  No notice need be given of any  regular  meeting,  and a notice,  if
given,  need not  specify  the  purposes  thereof.  A  meeting  of the  Board of
Directors  may be held without  notice  immediately  after an annual  meeting of
stockholders at the same place as that at which such meeting was held.

            SECTION 2.7 Special Meetings, Notice. A special meeting of the Board
of Directors may be called at any time by the Board of Directors,  its Chairman,
the Executive Committee,  the President or any person acting in the place of the
President  and  shall  be  called  by any one of them or by the  Secretary  upon
receipt  of a  written  request  to do so  specifying  the  matter  or  matters,
appropriate  for  action at such a  meeting,  proposed  to be  presented  at the
meeting and signed by at least two directors.  Any such meeting shall be held at
such time and at such place,  within or without the State of Delaware,  as shall
be determined by the body or person calling such meeting. Notice of such meeting
stating the time and place  thereof  shall be given (a) by deposit of the notice
in the United  States mail,  first  class,  postage  prepaid,  at least two days
before the day fixed for the meeting  addressed to each  director at his address
as it appears  on the  Corporation's  records  or at such  other  address as the
director may have furnished the Corporation for that purpose, or (b) by delivery
of the notice similarly  addressed for dispatch by telegraph,  cable or radio or
by delivery of notice by telephone or in person,  in each case at least 24 hours
before the time fixed for the meeting.

            SECTION 2.8 Chairman of the Board;  Presiding  Officer and Secretary
at Meetings. The Board of Directors may elect one of its members to serve at its
pleasure as Chairman of the Board.  Each meeting of the Board of Directors shall
be  presided  over by the  Chairman  of the Board or in his absence by the Chief
Executive Officer or the President,  if a director,  or if neither is present by
such member of the Board of  Directors  as shall be chosen at the  meeting.  The
Secretary,  or in his absence an Assistant Secretary,  shall act as secretary of
the meeting,  or if no such officer is present, a secretary of the meeting shall
be designated by the person presiding over the meeting.

            SECTION 2.9 Quorum. A majority of the Whole Board of Directors shall
constitute a quorum for the  transaction  of  business,  but in the absence of a
quorum a majority of those  present  (or if only one be present,  then that one)
may adjourn the meeting,  without notice other than announcement at the meeting,
until such time as a quorum is  present.


                                      -6-



Except as otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws,
the vote of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum
is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors.

            SECTION 2.10 Meeting by Telephone. Members of the Board of Directors
or any committee  thereof may  participate in meetings of the Board of Directors
or of such 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 such participation  shall constitute  presence in person at such
meeting.

            SECTION 2.11 Action Without Meeting.  Unless otherwise restricted by
the Certificate 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 all  members of the Board of  Directors  or of such
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
of such committee.

            SECTION 2.12 Executive and Other Committees.  The Board of Directors
may,  by  resolution  passed  by a  majority  of the Whole  Board of  Directors,
designate an Executive  Committee  and one or more other  committees,  each such
committee to consist of one or more directors as the Board of Directors may from
time to time  determine.  Any such  committee,  to the extent  provided  in such
resolution  or  resolutions,  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,  including  the power to authorize  the seal of the
Corporation  to be  affixed  to all  papers  that  may  require  it but no  such
committee  shall have such power of  authority  in  reference  to  amending  the
Certificate of Incorporation,  adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation,
recommending  to  the  stockholders  the  sale,  lease  or  exchange  of  all or
substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets,  recommending to the
stockholders a dissolution of the  Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution,
or amending the By-Laws;  and unless the resolution  shall expressly so provide,
no such committee  shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend or to
authorize the issuance of stock. In the absence or  disqualification of a member
of a  committee,  the member or members  thereof  present at any meeting 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 place of any such absent or disqualified  member. Each such committee
other than the  Executive  Committee  shall have such name as may be  determined
from time to time by the Board of Directors.


                                      -7-



            SECTION 2.13 Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominees for Director and
Other Stockholder Proposals.

            (a) The matters to be  considered  and brought  before any annual or
      special meeting of  stockholders  of the  Corporation  shall be limited to
      only such matters,  including the nomination and election of directors, as
      shall be brought  properly  before  such  meeting in  compliance  with the
      procedures set forth in this Section 2.13.

            (b) For any matter to be properly  brought before any annual meeting
      of stockholders,  the matter must be (i) specified in the notice of annual
      meeting  given by or at the  direction  of the  Board of  Directors,  (ii)
      otherwise  brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the
      Board of  Directors  or (iii)  brought  before the  annual  meeting in the
      manner  specified in this Section 2.13(b) (x) by a stockholder  that holds
      of record stock of the Corporation  entitled to vote at the annual meeting
      on such matter  (including  any election of a director) or (y) by a person
      (a "Nominee  Holder")  that holds such stock  through a nominee or "street
      name"  holder  of  record  of  such  stock  and  can  demonstrate  to  the
      Corporation  such  indirect   ownership  of,  and  such  Nominee  Holder's
      entitlement to vote,  such stock on such matter.  In addition to any other
      requirements  under applicable law, the certificate of  incorporation  and
      these By-Laws, persons nominated by stockholders for election as directors
      of the  Corporation  and any  other  proposals  by  stockholders  shall be
      properly  brought before an annual meeting of stockholders  only if notice
      of any such matter to be  presented  by a  stockholder  at such meeting (a
      "Stockholder   Notice")  shall  be  delivered  to  the  Secretary  of  the
      Corporation at the principal  executive office of the Corporation not less
      than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first  anniversary date of the
      annual meeting for the preceding year; provided, however, that if and only
      if the annual  meeting is not  scheduled  to be held  within a period that
      commences 30 days before and ends 30 days after such  anniversary date (an
      annual  meeting date  outside  such period being  referred to herein as an
      "Other  Meeting  Date"),  such  Stockholder  Notice  shall be given in the
      manner  provided  herein by the later of (i) the close of  business on the
      date 90 days  prior  to such  Other  Meeting  Date or (ii)  the  close  of
      business on the tenth day  following  the date on which such Other Meeting
      Date is first publicly announced or disclosed. Any stockholder desiring to
      nominate  any person or  persons  (as the case may be) for  election  as a

                                      -8-





      director  or  directors  of  the  Corporation  at  an  annual  meeting  of
      stockholders  shall  deliver,  as  part  of  such  Stockholder  Notice,  a
      statement in writing setting forth the name of the person or persons to be
      nominated,  the  number  and class of all shares of each class of stock of
      the Corporation  owned of record and beneficially by each such person,  as
      reported to such  stockholder by such person,  the  information  regarding
      each such person  required by  paragraphs  (a), (e) and (f) of Item 401 of
      Regulation  S-K adopted by the Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  each
      such person's  signed consent to serve as a director of the Corporation if
      elected,  such stockholder's name and address, the number and class of all
      shares  of each  class of stock of the  Corporation  owned of  record  and
      beneficially  by such  stockholder  and, in the case of a Nominee  Holder,
      evidence  establishing such Nominee Holder's  indirect  ownership of stock
      and  entitlement  to vote such stock for the  election of directors at the
      annual  meeting.  Any  stockholder  who gives a Stockholder  Notice of any
      matter  (other  than a  nomination  for  director)  proposed to be brought
      before an annual meeting of  stockholders  shall deliver,  as part of such
      Stockholder  Notice,  the text of the proposal to be presented and a brief
      written statement of the reasons why such stockholder  favors the proposal
      and setting  forth such  stockholder's  name and  address,  the number and
      class of all  shares of each  class of stock of the  Corporation  owned of
      record and beneficially by such stockholder, any material interest of such
      stockholder  in the matter  proposed  (other  than as a  stockholder),  if
      applicable,  and, in the case of a Nominee Holder,  evidence  establishing
      such Nominee Holder's indirect  ownership of stock and entitlement to vote
      such stock on the matter proposed at the annual meeting.  As used in these
      By-Laws,  shares  "beneficially  owned"  shall mean all shares  which such
      person is deemed to  beneficially  own  pursuant  to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5
      under the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 (the  "Exchange  Act").  If a
      stockholder  is entitled to vote only for a specific  class or category of
      directors at a meeting (annual or special),  such  stockholder's  right to
      nominate one or more individuals for election as a director at the meeting
      shall be limited to such class or category of directors.

            Notwithstanding  any provision of this Section 2.13 to the contrary,
      in the event  that the number of  directors  to be elected to the Board of
      Directors of the Corporation at the next annual meeting of stockholders is
      increased  by virtue of an increase in the size of the Board of  Directors

                                      -9-



      and either all of the nominees for director at the next annual  meeting of
      stockholders  or the  size of the  increased  Board  of  Directors  is not
      publicly announced or disclosed by the Corporation at least 100 days prior
      to the  first  anniversary  of the  preceding  year's  annual  meeting,  a
      Stockholder  Notice shall also be considered  timely  hereunder,  but only
      with respect to nominees to stand for election at the next annual  meeting
      as the result of any new positions  created by such increase,  if it shall
      be  delivered  to the  Secretary  of  the  Corporation  at  the  principal
      executive  office of the  Corporation not later than the close of business
      on the tenth day following the first day on which all such nominees or the
      size  of the  increased  Board  of  Directors  shall  have  been  publicly
      announced or disclosed.

            (c) Except as provided in the  immediately  following  sentence,  no
      matter shall be properly  brought before a special meeting of stockholders
      unless such matter shall have been brought before the meeting  pursuant to
      the  Corporation's  notice of such meeting.  In the event the  Corporation
      calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or
      more directors to the Board of Directors, any stockholder entitled to vote
      for the election of such director(s) at such meeting may nominate a person
      or persons (as the case may be) for  election to such  position(s)  as are
      specified in the  Corporation's  notice of such  meeting,  but only if the
      Stockholder  Notice  required by Section 2.13(b) hereof shall be delivered
      to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal  executive  office of
      the  Corporation  not later  than the close of  business  on the tenth day
      following  the  first  day on which the date of the  special  meeting  and
      either the names of all nominees  proposed by the Board of Directors to be
      elected at such  meeting or the number of  directors  to be elected  shall
      have been publicly announced or disclosed.

            (d) For purposes of this  Section  2.13, a matter shall be deemed to
      have been "publicly announced or disclosed" if such matter is disclosed in
      a press  release  reported by the Dow Jones News Service,  the  Associated
      Press or a  comparable  national  news  service or in a document  publicly
      filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

            (e) In no event  shall the  adjournment  of an annual  meeting  or a
      special meeting,  or any announcement  thereof,  commence a new period for
      the giving of notice as provided in this Section  2.13.  This Section 2.13

                                      -10-



      shall not apply to (i) any  stockholder  proposal  made  pursuant  to Rule
      14a-8 under the  Exchange Act or (ii) any  nomination  of a director in an
      election  in which  only the  holders of one or more  series of  Preferred
      Stock  of  the  Corporation  issued  pursuant  to  Article  FOURTH  of the
      certificate  of  incorporation  are  entitled  to vote  (unless  otherwise
      provided in the terms of such stock).

            (f) The  chairman  of any  meeting of  stockholders,  in addition to
      making any other  determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of
      the meeting,  shall have the power and duty to determine whether notice of
      nominees  and other  matters  proposed to be brought  before a meeting has
      been duly given in the manner provided in this Section 2.13 and, if not so
      given,  shall  direct and declare at the meeting  that such  nominees  and
      other matters shall not be considered.

            SECTION  2.14  Independent  Directors.  A  majority  of the Board of
Directors  shall be  comprised  of  Independent  Directors.  For the  purpose of
Section 2.14, the term "Independent Director" shall mean a director who: (i) has
not been employed by the  Corporation in an executive  capacity  within the last
five  years;  (ii) is not,  and is not  affiliated  with a  company  that is, an
advisor or consultant to the Corporation,  or a significant customer or supplier
of the company;  (iii) has no personal services contract(s) with the Corporation
or  the  Corporation's  senior  management;   (iv)  is  not  affiliated  with  a
not-for-profit   entity  that  receives   significant   contributions  from  the
Corporation;  (v)  within  the  last  five  years,  has  not  had  any  business
relationship  with the  Corporation  that the  Corporation  has been required to
disclose under the Securities and Exchange  Commission  disclosure  regulations;
(vi) is not employed by a public  company at which an  executive  officer of the
Corporation serves as a director;  (vii) has not had a relationship described in
(i) through (vi) above with any affiliate of the Corporation;  and (viii) is not
a member of the  immediate  family of any person  described in (i) through (vii)
above.

                                 ARTICLE 3.THREE

                                    OFFICERS

            SECTION  3.1  Election;   Disqualification.   The  officers  of  the
Corporation  shall  be  a  Chairman  of  the  Board,  Chief  Executive  Officer,
President,  one or more Vice  Presidents,  a Secretary and a Treasurer,  each of

by  reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal

or agent,  shall be  indemnified  and held  harmless by the  Corporation  to the
fullest extent  authorized by the Delaware  General  Corporation Law as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only
to the extent that such amendment  permits the  Corporation  to provide  broader
indemnification  rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior
