1.2 Other Offices. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places, both within and without the State of Michigan, as the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

ARTICLE II

SHAREHOLDERS

2.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of the shareholders for the election of the Board of Directors will be held at such place, within or without the State of Michigan, as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors or by means of remote communication in accordance with the provisions of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, as amended (including any successor statute, the “Act”). Meetings of shareholders for any other purpose may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Michigan, as may be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.

2.2 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of shareholders for the election of directors and such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting will be held at such place within or without the state of Michigan and at such date and time as will be designated by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.

2.3 List of Shareholders. At least ten days before each meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of voting shares registered in the name of each, will be prepared by the officer or agent having charge of the share transfer books. Such list will be kept on file at the registered office of the Corporation for a period of ten days prior to such meeting and will be subject to inspection by any shareholder at any time during usual business hours. Such list will be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and will be subject to the inspection of any shareholder who may be present.

2.4 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or the Board of Directors. Business transacted at all special meetings will be confined to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting unless all shareholders entitled to vote are present and consent.

2.5 Notice. Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of any meeting of the shareholders and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, will be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary, or the officer or person calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If mailed, such notice will be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the share transfer books of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

2.6 Quorum. With respect to any matter, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on that matter will be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the shareholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, will have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. If the adjournment is 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 will be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

2.7 Voting. When a quorum is present at any meeting of the Corporation’s shareholders, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on, and voted for or against, any matter will decide any questions brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision will govern and control the decision of such question. The shareholders present in person or by proxy at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. Shareholders of the Corporation will not have the right of cumulative voting for the election of the Board of Directors or for any other purpose.

2.8 Method of Voting. Each outstanding share of the Corporation’s capital share, regardless of class or series, will be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders, except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any class or series are limited or denied by the Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to time. At any meeting of the shareholders, every shareholder having the right to vote will be entitled to vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by such shareholder and bearing a date not more than three years prior to such meeting, unless such instrument provides for a longer period. A telegram, telex, cablegram or similar transmission by the shareholder, or a photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the shareholder, shall be treated as an execution in

2

writing for purposes of the preceding sentence. Each proxy will be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and if, and only so long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Such proxy will be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation prior to or at the time of the meeting. Voting for the Board of Directors will be in accordance with Article III of these Bylaws. Voting on any question or in any election may be by voice vote or show of hands unless the presiding officer orders or any shareholder demands that voting be by written ballot.

2.9 Record Date; Closing Transfer Books. The Board of Directors may fix in advance a record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such record date to be not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to such meeting, or the Board of Directors may close the share transfer books for such purpose for a period of not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to such meeting. In the absence of any action by the Board of Directors, the close of business on the date next preceding the day on which the notice is given will be the record date, or, if notice is waived, the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held will be the record date.

2.10 Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted under the Act to be taken at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the holders of outstanding shares not having 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. A written consent shall bear the date of signature of the shareholder that signs the consent. Written consents are not effective to take corporate action unless within 60 days after the record date for determining shareholders entitled to express consent to or to dissent from a proposal without a meeting, written consents dated not more than 10 days before the record date and signed by a sufficient number of shareholders to take the action are delivered to the Corporation. Delivery shall be to the Corporation’s registered office, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation that has custody of the minutes of the proceedings of its shareholders. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office in Michigan shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt notice of taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to shareholders that would have been entitled to notice of the shareholder meeting if the action had been taken at a meeting that have not consented to the action in writing. An electronic transmission consenting to an action must comply with Section 407(3) of the Act.

2.11 Issuance of Shares. No shareholder of the Corporation will, solely by reason of holding shares of any class, have any preemptive or preferential right to purchase or subscribe for any shares of the Corporation, now or hereafter to be authorized, or any notes, debentures, bonds, or other securities convertible into or carrying warrants, rights, or options to purchase shares of any class, now or hereafter to be authorized, whether or not the issuance of any such shares or such notes, debentures, bonds, or other securities would adversely affect the dividend, voting, or any other rights of such shareholder. The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of, and the Corporation may issue, shares of any class of the Corporation, or any notes, debentures, bonds, or other securities convertible into or carrying warrants, rights, or options to purchase any such shares, without offering any shares of any class to the existing holders of any class of shares of the Corporation.

ARTICLE III

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

3.1 Management. The business and affairs of the Corporation will be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, who may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the shareholders.

3.2 Qualifications; Election; Term. None of the Directors need be a shareholder of the Corporation or a resident of the State of Michigan. The Directors will be elected by plurality vote at the annual meeting of the shareholders, except as hereinafter provided, and each Director will hold office until whichever of the following occurs first: his successor is elected and qualified, his resignation, his removal from office by the shareholders or his death.

3.3 Number. The number of Directors of the Corporation will be at least one. The number of Directors authorized will be fixed as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate, or if no such designation has been made, the number of Directors will be the same as the number of members of the initial Board of Directors as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation. No decrease in the number of Directors will have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent Director.

3.4 Removal. Any Director may be removed either for or without cause at any special meeting of shareholders by the affirmative vote of at least a majority in number of shares of the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote for the election of such Director, provided, that notice of intention to act upon such matter has been given in the notice calling such meeting.

3.5 Vacancies. Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors and any vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors caused by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of any Directors or otherwise, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or a successor or successors may be chosen at a special meeting of the shareholders called for that purpose. A Director elected to fill a vacancy will be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office or until whichever of the following occurs first: his successor is elected and qualified, his resignation, his removal from office by the shareholders or his death.

3.6 Place of Meetings. Meetings of the Board of Directors, regular or special, may be held at such place within or without the State of Michigan as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Except as may be otherwise expressly provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purposes of, any special meeting need be specified in a notice or waiver of notice.

3.10 Quorum. At all meetings of the Board of Directors the presence of a majority of the number of Directors then in office will be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum will be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the Directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

3.11 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 the Corporation’s Directors or officers are Directors or officers or have a financial interest, will be void or voidable solely for this reason, solely because the Director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof that 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 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 vote of a majority of the disinterested Directors, even though the disinterested Directors be less than a quorum, (ii) the material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the shareholders 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 shareholders. 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 that authorizes the contract or transaction.

3.12 Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the entire Board of Directors, designate committees, each committee to consist of one or more Directors of the Corporation, which committees will have such power and authority and will perform such functions as may be provided in such resolution. Such committee or committees will have such name or names as may be designated by the Board of Directors and will keep regular minutes of their proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required.

3.13 Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors may be taken without such a meeting if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all the members of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be.

5

3.14 Compensation of Directors. Directors will receive such compensation for their services and reimbursement for their expenses as the Board of Directors, by resolution, may establish; provided that nothing herein contained will be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Surplus of the Corporation to the extent so reserved will not be available for the payment of dividends or other distributions by the Corporation.

7.3 Telephone and Similar Meetings. Shareholders, Directors and committee members may participate in and hold meetings by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.

Every person who is or has been a Director or officer of the Corporation or an agent of the Corporation serving on any committee administering the Corporation’s employee benefit plans, or any other agent of the Corporation designated by resolution of the Board of Directors to be entitled to indemnification, including the personal representatives of any such deceased person, of the Corporation, or of any other corporation which he serves or served as such at the request of the Corporation because of the Corporation’s interest, direct or indirect, as owner of shares of capital stock or as a creditor, shall to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by law, be indemnified by the Corporation against any and all liability and reasonable expense (including but not limited to, counsels’ and accountants fees, investigation cost, travel, transcripts, disbursements, settlement amounts, judgments, fines or penalties) paid by or incurred by him in connection with, in settlement of or resulting from any claim, action, suit or

9

proceeding (whether by or in the name of the Corporation or such other corporation, or otherwise), civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any appeals relating, thereto, in which he may be involved or threaten to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of his being or having been a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation or such other corporation, or by reason of any action taken or not taken in the course and scope of his function as such officer or employee or in his capacity as such Director.

The Corporation shall indemnify, insure and save harmless all officers, Directors and advisory committees, past, present and future, and all other persons now or hereafter involved, or deemed to be, in a fiduciary capacity in connection with the Company’s pension plan or other plans governed by, subject to and/or covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; said self-insurance is to indemnify, insure and save harmless all such officers, Directors, advisory committees and other persons from and against all loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorney fees and any other expenses incurred as a result of or arising out of their activity, jointly and/or severally, in connection with such pension plan or other plan covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, pertaining to any such fiduciary liability.

7.8 Advice of Counsel; Indemnification Permitted by Law. The Board of Directors in granting indemnification, may rely upon the written advice of legal counsel that in the latter’s opinion such indemnification is permitted by law.

7.9 Advances of Expenses. The Corporation may advance funds to cover expenses incurred with respect to any claim, action, suit or proceeding of the character, actual or threatened, described in Section 7.7 of these Bylaws, prior to the final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay the amount so advanced if and to the extent it should ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he was not entitled to indemnification under these Bylaws.

7.10 Scope of Indemnification Rights. The intention of Sections 7.7 – 7.9 of these Bylaws is to provide indemnification with the broadest and most inclusive coverage permitted by law (a) at the time of the act or omission to be indemnified against or (b) so permitted at the time of carrying out such indemnification, whichever of (a) and (b) may be the broader or more inclusive, and permitted by law to be applicable. If the indemnification, permitted by law at this present time, or any future time, shall be broader or more inclusive than the provisions contained in this Bylaw, then indemnification shall nevertheless extend to the broadest and most inclusive permitted by the law at any time, and this Bylaw shall be deemed to have been amended accordingly. If any provision or portion of Sections 7.7 – 7.10 shall be found in any action, suit or proceeding to be invalid or ineffective, the validity and effect of the remaining parts shall not be affected.

7.11 Insurance. The Corporation may at the discretion of the Board of Directors purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Corporation and any person whom it has the power to indemnify pursuant to law, the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws or otherwise.

10

7.12 Resignation. Any Director, officer or agent may resign by giving written notice to the Board of Directors, the President or the Secretary. Such resignation will take effect at the time specified therein or immediately if no time is specified therein. Unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation will not be necessary to make it effective.

7.13 Amendment of Bylaws. These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed at any meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors present at such meeting.

7.14 Invalid Provisions. If any part of these Bylaws is held invalid or inoperative for any reason, the remaining parts, so far as possible and reasonable, will be valid and operative.
