which, dividends, if any, on Preferred Stock of such series shall be

series to convert the same into or exchange the same for, shares of
<PAGE>
any other class or classes or of any series of the same or any other
class or classes of stock of the Corporation and the terms and
conditions of such conversion or exchange;

Corporation if there shall have been a default in the payment of
dividends on any one or more series of Preferred Stock or under such
circumstances and on such conditions as the Board of Directors may
determine.
(c) (1) After the requirements with respect to preferential dividends on the
Preferred Stock (fixed in accordance with the provisions of section (b) of
this Article Fourth), if any, shall have been met and after the Corporation
shall have complied with all the requirements, if any, with respect to the
setting aside of sums as sinking funds or redemption or purchase accounts
(fixed in accordance with the provisions of section (b) of this Article
Fourth), and subject further to any conditions which may be fixed in

such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of
Directors.
(2) After distribution in full of the preferential amount, if any,
(fixed in accordance with the provisions of section (b) of this
Article Fourth), to be distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock
in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, distribution or
sale of assets, dissolution or winding-up, of the Corporation, the
holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all of the
remaining assets of the Corporation, tangible and intangible, of
whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders ratably in
proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them
respectively.
(3) Except as may otherwise be required by law or by the provisions

series, or bonds, certificates of indebtedness, debentures or other
securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock of the Corporation of
any class or series, or carrying any right to purchase stock of any class or
series, but any such unissued stock, additional authorized issue of shares of

consent, by class or series vote or otherwise, of the holders of such of the
series of Preferred Stock as are from time to time outstanding shall not be
required for the issuance by the Board of Directors of any other series of
Preferred Stock whether or not the powers, preferences and rights of such
other series shall be fixed by the Board of Directors as senior to, or on a
parity with, the powers, preferences and rights of such outstanding series,
or any of them; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may provide in
the resolution or resolutions as to any series of Preferred Stock adopted
pursuant to section (b) of this Article Fourth that the consent of the
holders of a majority (or such greater proportion as shall be therein fixed)
of the outstanding shares of such series voting thereon shall be required for
the issuance of any or all other series of Preferred Stock.
(f) Subject to the provisions of section (e), shares of any series of
Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time as the Board of Directors of

as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors.
(g) Shares of Common Stock may be issued from time to time as the Board of
Directors of the Corporation shall determine and on such terms and for such

may, without a class or series vote, be increased or decreased from time to
time by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote thereon.

and managed by a Board of Directors. The number of directors constituting the
<PAGE>
entire Board shall be not less than five nor more than twenty-five as fixed
from time to time by vote of a majority of the whole Board, provided,
however, that the number of directors shall not be reduced so as to shorten
the term of any director at the time in office, and provided further, that
the number of directors constituting the whole Board shall be twenty-four
until otherwise fixed by a majority of the whole Board.
(b) The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, as nearly
equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the whole
Board permits, with the term of office of one class expiring each year. At
the annual meeting of stockholders in 1982, directors of the first class
shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the next succeeding
annual meeting, directors of the second class shall be elected to hold office
for a term expiring at the second succeeding annual meeting and directors of
the third class shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the
third succeeding annual meeting. Any vacancies in the Board of Directors for
any reason, and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase
in the directors, may be filled by the Board of Directors, acting by a
majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, and
any directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election of
directors. At such election, the stockholders shall elect a successor to such
director to hold office until the next election of the class for which such
director shall have been chosen and until his successor shall be elected and
qualified. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of
any incumbent director.

Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation (and notwithstanding the fact
that some lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Charter or Act of
Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation), any director or the entire

vote generally in the election of directors (considered for this purpose as
one class) cast at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.
(d) Nominations for the election of directors may be made by the Board of
Directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote for the election of
directors. Such nominations shall be made by notice in writing, delivered or
mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary
of the Corporation not less than 14 days nor more than 50 days prior to any
meeting of the stockholders called for the election of directors; provided,
however, that if less than 21 days' notice of the meeting is given to
stockholders, such written notice shall be delivered or mailed, as
prescribed, to the Secretary of the Corporation not later than the close of
the seventh day following the day on which notice of the meeting was mailed
to stockholders. Notice of nominations which are proposed by the Board of
Directors shall be given by the Chairman on behalf of the Board.
(e) Each notice under subsection (d) shall set forth (i) the name, age,
business address and, if known, residence address of each nominee proposed in
<PAGE>
such notice, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of such nominee and
(iii) the number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are beneficially
owned by each such nominee.
(f) The Chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine and
declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the
foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to
the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
(g) No action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual or
special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a
meeting, and the power of stockholders to consent in writing, without a
meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.
Sixth: - The Directors shall choose such officers, agents and servants as may
be provided in the By-Laws as they may from time to time find necessary or
proper.

rights and privileges as may be conferred upon corporations organized under
the Act entitled "An Act Providing a General Corporation Law", approved March
10, 1899, as from time to time amended.
Eighth: - This Act shall be deemed and taken to be a private Act.
Ninth: - This Corporation is to have perpetual existence.
Tenth: - The Board of Directors, by resolution passed by a majority of the
whole Board, may designate any of their number to constitute an Executive
Committee, which Committee, to the extent provided in said resolution, or in
the By-Laws of the Company, shall have and may exercise all of the powers of
the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the
Corporation, and shall have power to authorize the seal of the Corporation to
be affixed to all papers which may require it.
Eleventh: - The private property of the stockholders shall not be liable
for the payment of corporate debts to any extent whatever.
Twelfth: - The Corporation may transact business in any part of the world.
Thirteenth: - The Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly
authorized to make, alter or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation by a vote
of the majority of the entire Board. The stockholders may make, alter or

such additional By-Laws, alterations or repeal may be adopted only by the

shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (considered for this purpose as one class).
