amended and in effect (the "Operating Agreement"), of ValTek, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the "Company"). In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms hereof and the terms of the Operating Agreement, the terms of
the Operating Agreement shall control.
B. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms used and not defined in these
Bylaws have the meanings ascribed to them in the Operating Agreement.
ARTICLE I

SECTION 1. PLACE OF MEETINGS AND MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE.
Meetings of Members shall be held at any place designated by the
Board of Managers. In the absence of any such designation, meetings of Members

another, and all Members participating by telephone or similar communication
equipment shall be deemed to be present in person at the meeting.
SECTION 2. CALL OF MEETINGS.
Meetings of the Members may be called at any time by the Board of

authority of the Members as provided herein or in the Operating Agreement or

of Managers to be necessary or desirable.
<Page>
SECTION 3. NOTICE OF MEETINGS OF MEMBERS.
All notices of meetings of Members shall be sent or otherwise
given in accordance with Section 4 of this Article I not less then five nor more
than 60 days before the date of the meeting. The notice shall specify the place,
date and hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be
transacted.
SECTION 4. MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE.
Notice of any meeting of Members shall be given personally or by
telephone to each Member or sent by first class mail, by telegram or telecopy
(or similar electronic means) or by a nationally recognized overnight courier,
charges prepaid, addressed to the Member at the address of that Member appearing
on the books of the Company or given by the Member to the Company for the
purpose of notice. Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when
delivered either personally or by telephone, or at the time when deposited in
the mail or with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or when sent by
telegram or telecopy (or similar electronic means).
SECTION 5. ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE.
Any meeting of Members, whether or not a quorum is present, may be
adjourned from time to time by the vote of a Majority in Interest of Members
represented at that meeting, either in person or by proxy. When any meeting of
Members is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the
adjourned meeting, unless a new record date of the adjourned meeting is fixed or
unless the adjournment is for more than 30 days from the date set for the
original meeting, in which case the Board of Managers shall set a new record
date and shall give notice in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3 and 4
of this Article I. At any adjourned meeting, the Company may transact any
business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.
SECTION 6. QUORUM; VOTING.
At any meeting of the Members, a Majority in Interest of Members
present, in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for all purposes,
unless or except to the extent that the presence of Members holding a higher
aggregate Percentage Interest is required by the Operating Agreement or
applicable law. Except as otherwise required by the Operating Agreement, these
Bylaws or applicable law, all matters shall be determined by a Majority in
Interest of Members.
SECTION 7. WAIVER OF NOTICE BY CONSENT OF ABSENT MEMBERS.
The transactions of a meeting of Members, however called and
noticed and wherever held, shall be as valid as though taken at a meeting duly
held after regular call and notice if a quorum is present either in person or by
proxy and if either before or after the meeting, each person entitled to vote
who was not present in person or by proxy signs a written waiver of notice or a
consent to a holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes. The waiver of
notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the
purpose of any meeting of Members. Attendance by a person at a
2
<Page>
meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of that meeting, except when
the person objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any
business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and except that
attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the
consideration of matters not included in the notice of the meeting if that
objection is expressly made at the beginning of the meeting.
SECTION 8. MEMBER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING.
(a) Any action that may be taken at any meeting of Members may
be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing
setting forth the action so taken is signed by a Majority in Interest of Members
(or Members holding such higher aggregate Percentage Interest as is required to
authorize or take such action under the terms of the Operating Agreement, these
Bylaws or applicable law). Any such written consent may be executed and given by
telecopy or similar electronic means. Such consents shall be filed with the
Secretary of the Company and shall be maintained in the Company's records.
SECTION 9. RECORD DATE FOR MEMBER NOTICE, VOTING AND GIVING CONSENTS.
(a) For purposes of determining the Members entitled to vote or
act at any meeting or adjournment thereof, the Board of Managers may fix in
advance a record date which shall not be greater than 60 days nor fewer than
five days before the date of any such meeting. If the Board of Managers does
not so fix a record date, the record date for determining Members entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members shall be at the close of business
on the business day immediately preceding the day on which notice is given, or
if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding
the day on which the meeting is held.
(b) The record date for determining the Members entitled to give
consent to action in writing without a meeting, (a) when no prior action of the
Board of Managers has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written
consent is given, or (b) when prior action of the Board of Managers has been
taken, shall be such date as determined for that purpose by the Board of
Managers, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution
fixing it is adopted by the Board of Managers and shall not be more than 20 days
after the date of such resolution.
(c) Only Members of record on the record date as herein
determined shall have any right to vote or to act at any meeting or give consent
to any action relating to such record date, provided that no Member who
transfers all or part of such Member's Interest after a record date (and no
transferee of such Interest) shall have the right to vote or act with respect to
the transferred Interest as regards the matter for which the record date was
set.
SECTION 10. PROXIES.
Every Member entitled to vote or act on any matter at a meeting of
Members shall have the right to do so either in person or by proxy, provided
that an instrument authorizing such a proxy to act is executed by the Member in
writing and
3
<Page>
dated not more than 11 months before the meeting, unless the instrument
specifically provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be deemed executed by a
Member if the Member's name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature,
typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the Member or the
Member's attorney-in-fact. A valid proxy that does not state that it is
irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the
person executing it before the vote pursuant to that proxy by a writing
delivered to the Company stating that the proxy is revoked, by a subsequent
proxy executed by, or by attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the
person executing that proxy or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of
the maker of that proxy is received by the Company before the vote pursuant to
that proxy is counted. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a
Member shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise and
the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. Except to the
extent inconsistent with the provisions hereof, the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, and judicial construction thereof by the Courts of the
State of Delaware, shall be applicable to proxies granted by any Member.
