--------- ------------------
written notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special,
stating the place, date and hour of the meeting shall be given not less than ten

to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat by delivering a notice
thereof to him personally or by mailing such notice in a postage prepaid
envelope directed to him at his address as it appears on the records of the
Corporation, unless he shall have filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a
written request that notices intended for him be directed to another address, in
which case such notice shall be directed to him at the address designated in
such request. Notice shall not be required to be given to any stockholder who
shall waive such notice in writing, whether prior to or after such meeting, or
who shall attend such meeting in person or by proxy unless such attendance is
for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of such meeting, to the
transactions of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened. Every notice of a special meeting of the stockholders, besides the
time and place of the meeting, shall state briefly the objects or purposes
thereof.
Section 5. List of Stockholders. It shall be the duty of the
--------- --------------------

majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such
other corporation is held by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote

limiting the right of the Corporation to vote its own stock held by it in a
fiduciary capacity. At all meetings of the stockholders, a quorum being
present, all matters shall be decided by majority vote of the shares of stock
entitled to vote held by stockholders present in person or by proxy, except as

each share is entitled.
Section 8. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting
--------- -------
of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a
meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. A
proxy acting for any stockholder shall be duly appointed by an instrument in
writing subscribed by such stockholder. No proxy shall be valid after the
