      Section 1.2.  Other  Offices.  The  corporation  may also have offices and
places of business at such places within or without the State of Delaware as the
Board of  Directors  may from  time to time  determine  or the  business  of the

      Section 1.3.  Registered Agent. The corporation shall have and maintain in
the  State of  Delaware  a  registered  agent,  which  agent  may be  either  an
individual  resident in the State of Delaware whose business office is identical

      Section 2.2. Lost  Certificates.  The Board of Directors may direct that a
new share certificate be issued in place of any certificate  theretofore  issued
by the  corporation  which has been  mutilated  or which is alleged to have been
lost, stolen or destroyed,  upon presentation of each such mutilated certificate
or the making by the person  claiming  any such  certificate  to have been lost,
stolen or destroyed of an affidavit as to the fact and circumstance of the loss,
theft or destruction  thereof, or complying with such other procedures as may be
established by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, in its discretion
and as a condition precedent to the issuance of any new certificate, may require
the owner of any certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed,  or
his legal  representative,  to furnish the corporation  with a bond, in such sum
and with such  surety or sureties as it may  direct,  as  indemnity  against any
claim that may be made against the  corporation  on account of the alleged loss,
theft  or  destruction  of  such   certificate  or  the  issuance  of  such  new
certificate.

      Section 2.3.  Fractions of Shares.  The corporation  may, but shall not be

fractions of a share,  it shall (1) arrange for the  disposition  of  fractional
interests by those entitled thereto, (2) pay in cash the fair value of fractions
of a share as of the time when those  entitled  to receive  such  fractions  are
determined,  or (3) issue scrip or warrants in  registered  or bearer form which
shall  entitle  the  holder to receive a  certificate  for a full share upon the
surrender of such scrip or warrants  aggregating a full share. A certificate for
a fractional  share  shall,  but scrip or warrants  shall not unless,  otherwise
provided  therein,  entitle the holder to  exercise  voting  rights,  to receive
dividends thereon, and to participate in any of the assets of the corporation in
the event of liquidation.  The Board of Directors may cause scrip or warrants to
be issued subject to the conditions that they shall become void if not exchanged
for certificates representing full shares before a specified date, or subject to
the conditions that the shares for which scrip or warrants are  exchangeable may
be sold by the corporation and the proceeds  thereof  distributed to the holders
of scrip or  warrants,  or  subject  to any other  conditions  with the Board of
Directors may impose.

      Section 2.4. Stock Transfers.  Upon compliance with provisions restricting
the transfer or registration  of transfer of shares of stock, if any,  transfers
or registration of transfers of shares of stock of the corporation shall be made
only on the stock ledger of the corporation by the registered holder thereof, or
by his attorney  thereunto  authorized  by power of attorney  duly  executed and
filed  with the  Secretary  of the  corporation  or with a  transfer  agent or a
registrar,  if any, and on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such
shares of stock properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes due thereon.

      Section 2.5. Record Date. For the purpose of determining the  stockholders
entitled  to  notice  of or to  vote  at  any  meeting  of  stockholders  or any
adjournment  thereof,  or to  express  consent  to  corporate  action in writing
without a meeting,  or  entitled  to receive  payment of any  dividend  or other
distribution or the 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 sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days
before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty(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
