TRUE AND OFFICIAL
BY-LAWS
OF
THE JAM

I. THE COMMISSIONER

The JAM shall be governed by a Commissioner. The Commissioner presently is, and has been since the origin of The JAM, Mike Campoli (hereinafter referred to as "Campoli" or the "Commissioner"). The Commissioner shall serve in said capacity for as long as he deems such service to be necessary or desirable, in his sole discretion. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, any and all decisions relating to The JAM rest in the exclusive discretion of the Commissioner.

II. THE JAM COMMITTEE

A committee of up to a maximum of seven (7) members (the "JAM Committee") may be established by the Commissioner to assist him in the governance and functioning of The JAM. The Commissioner shall serve on, and be the head of, the JAM Committee. The Commissioner shall appoint or remove any and all of the members of the JAM Committee (the "Committee Members"), at any time and from time to time, in his sole and exclusive discretion. Such Committee Members shall serve on the JAM Committee until their removal, resignation, incapacity or death.

As of the date hereof, the JAM Committee is composed of six members. These members are:

Mike Campoli
Chris Spellman
Chris Crowley
Rob Andrusco
Mike Fornabaio
Chris Blakely

III. JAM SUB-COMMITTEES

The Commissioner may, at any time and from time to time, in his sole and exclusive discretion, for the overall benefit and furtherance of The JAM, establish sub-committees to coordinate and administer activities within specific and specialized jurisdictions relating to The JAM (the "Sub-Committees"). Each Sub-Committee will be administered by a chairman (the "Chairman"), who shall be appointed by the Commissioner and shall serve at the discretion of the Commissioner. An individual may serve as Chairman of more than one Sub-Committee. Each Chairman shall keep the Commissioner informed of any and all developments relating to his or her respective Sub-Committee on a regular basis. To facilitate the operations of the Sub-Committees, each Chairman may appoint an appropriate number of assistants to aid in the furtherance of the objectives of the Sub-Committee.

As of the date hereof, there are four Sub-Committees. These Sub-Committees, and their Chairmen, are:

IV. THE MOST VALUABLE JAMMER COMMITTEE

The Most Valuable JAMmer Committee (the "MVJ Committee") shall meet immediately following the conclusion of each JAM to select the Most Valuable JAMmer (the "MVJ") from that particular JAM. In selecting the MVJ, the MVJ Committee shall examine all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, each candidate's statistical performance in The JAM, their tangible and intangible contributions to The JAM, and their overall JAM spirit.

The MVJ Committee shall be composed of all active members of the JAM Committee and all previous Most Valuable JAMmers. Only those members of the MVJ Committee who were present for the majority of The JAM are entitled to vote for the MVJ. Each member of the MVJ Committee eligible to vote for the MVJ has a total of one vote, regardless of the number of times that they have been named MVJ. To be named Most Valuable JAMmer, a candidate must receive a majority of the votes of the members of the MVJ Committee who are then present and eligible to vote.

The members of the MVJ Committee as of the date hereof are:

Mike Campoli
Chris Spellman
Chris Crowley
Rob Andrusco
Mike Fornabaio
Chris Blakely

Sue Smith
George McShane

V. JAM BANS

To promote and protect the interests and greater good of The JAM, the Commissioner may, at any time and from time to time, in his sole and exclusive discretion, ban any individual whom he deems to have threatened or disparaged The JAM, or engaged in any conduct that he deems to be detrimental to The JAM, from The JAM itself or from any and all JAM-related activities (a "JAM Ban"). A JAM Ban may be temporary or permanent, depending upon the severity of the offense and the totality of the facts and circumstances of the particular situation.

Once a JAM Ban has been imposed, that person (the "Appellant") has the right to appeal the decision of the Commissioner and seek to remove the JAM Ban. All appeals are heard by the Commissioner, who shall render a decision based upon his own judgment and the advice and assistance of the other Committee Members. To appeal a JAM Ban, the Appellant must be represented by a Committee Member. Such representation must be coordinated through the Chairman of the Justice Committee, who shall be present at the hearing of the appeal, and must be approved by either the Chairman of the Justice Committee, by three Committee Members, or by the Commissioner. The appeal shall be heard by the Commissioner at a date and time mutually acceptable to the Commissioner, the Chairman of the Justice Committee and the Appellant within thirty (30) calendar days of notice to the Commissioner of the appeal; provided, however, that if a JAM Ban be imposed within thirty (30) calendar days of the scheduled date of The JAM, the appellant may petition the Commissioner for an expedited hearing of his appeal. Should such an expedited hearing be granted, it shall take place no later than the calendar day immediately prior to the scheduled date of The JAM, unless circumstances dictate otherwise. All notices and petitions to the Commissioner must be evidenced by a writing, signed by the Appellant or by the Committee Member representing the Appellant at the hearing of the appeal, and shall be delivered to the Commissioner in person by either a Committee Member or by the appellant.

If, for any reason, a JAM Ban be imposed on the chairman of the Justice Committee, and said Chairman chooses to appeal the JAM Ban, then said Chairman must coordinate his appeal through the then senior Committee Member other than the Commissioner.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the event that a JAM Ban be imposed upon a Committee Member, said JAM Ban may be removed by the vote of a majority of those serving as Committee Members at that time, including the banned member, at a meeting of The JAM Committee. For purposes hereof, said meeting may be conducted by telephonic conference.

VI. MISCELLANEOUS

These True and Official By-Laws of The JAM may be amended or repealed at any time, and from time to time, by the unilateral action of the Commissioner, in his sole and exclusive discretion.

These By-Laws shall be effective as of this fourteenth day of June, 2001.
