as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, no director of the
Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders
for or with respect to any acts or omissions in the performance of his or her
duties as a director of the Corporation. Any amendment or repeal of this Article
VII will not eliminate or reduce the affect of any right or protection of a
director of the Corporation existing immediately prior to such amendment or
repeal.

                    ARTICLE VIII. SPECIAL VOTING REQUIREMENTS

         The following actions, when submitted to the stockholders of the
Corporation for their consideration, shall require the affirmative vote of at
least 66-2/3% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation: amendment of
