         SECTION 2.1. Section 1.5(a) of the Merger Agreement shall be amended
and restated in its entirety, and shall be replaced by the following:

                  "(a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as in
         effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended as of
         the Effective Time so that Article IV of such Certificate of
         Incorporation is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

         FOURTH: The Corporation shall be authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares
         of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. There shall be
         two classes of common stock of the Corporation. The first class of

         par value of $0.01 and shall be designated "Class A Non-Voting Common
         Stock" and the number of shares constituting such class shall be
         15,000,000. Holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one
         vote for each share of such stock held on all matters as to which
         stockholders may be entitled to vote pursuant to the Delaware General
         Corporation Law. Holders of shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock
         shall not have any voting rights, except that the holders of shares of
         Class A Non-Voting Common Stock shall have the right to vote as a class
         to the extent required by the Delaware General Corporation Law. In all
         other respects the rights, powers, preferences and limitations of the
         Common Stock and Class A Non-Voting Common Stock shall be identical.
         The preferred stock shall have a par value of $100.00 and the board of
         directors may authorize the issuance from time to time of the preferred
         stock in one or more classes and/or series and with such powers,
         designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or
         restrictions (which may differ with respect to each such class and/or
         series) as the board may fix by resolution."

                  "As so amended, such Certificate of Incorporation shall be the
         Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until
         thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable
         law."

         SECTION 3.  Representations and Warranties.
