Operations:

Revenues for the first three months of 1998 were $42,200,000 less than the
comparable period of 1997. This was primarily due to a decline of $53,400,000 in
the Other segment's revenues chiefly associated with the sales of Facility
Services New York operations in July 1997 and certain operations of Atlantic
Design Company (ADC), a contract manufacturing business late in 1997 and in
early 1998. The Entertainment segment's revenues were $13,500,000 higher
reflecting increased activity at the World Trade Center and the partial start up
of the American Wilderness Zoo and Aquarium(TM) sites in Arizona and Texas, the
acquisition of the Enchanted Castle in 1997 as well as several sports venues and
convention centers. The Aviation segment's revenues were $20,200,000 lower
primarily reflecting the sale of the Miami and Spanish inflight catering
business and certain other ground services operations in 1997. These reductions
in Aviation's revenues were partially offset by the sale of a 5% interest in the
Hong Kong ground services company. The Energy segment's revenues were
$17,900,000 higher primarily due to the acquisition of Pacific Energy, and a 60%
interest in four cogeneration plants in China in late 1997, increased production
at the Edison Bataan facility, and an increase in construction activity due to
the commencement of retrofit activity at three waste-to-energy plants.

Consolidated operating income for the first three months of 1998 was $500,000
higher than the comparable period of 1997. The Entertainment segment's operating
income was $2,300,000 higher primarily reflecting increased activity at the
World Trade Center facility and the partial start up of the American Wilderness
Zoo and Aquarium(TM) sites in Arizona and Texas. The Aviation segment's
operating income was $1,500,000 higher chiefly associated with increased margins
in ground services and fueling facilities and the gain on the sale of a 5%
interest in the Hong Kong ground services company, partially offset by the gain
on the sale of the Miami inflight catering business and certain ground services
operations in the first quarter of 1997. The Energy segment's operating income
was $3,700,000 higher chiefly associated with increased production at the Edison
Bataan facility, and the acquisition of Pacific Energy and a 60% interest in
four cogeneration plants in China in late 1997. These increases were partially
offset by a decrease of $7,100,000 in the Other segment's operating income
chiefly associated with the sale of the investment in Ogden Universal in the
first quarter of 1997.

The Energy segment has three interest rate swap agreements entered into as
hedges against interest rate exposure on three series of adjustable rate project
debt that resulted in additional debt service costs of $247,000 and $236,000 for
the first three months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Interest income for the first three months of 1998 was $719,000 lower than the
comparable period of 1997 primarily reflecting the repayment of debt by a
customer and reduced cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense was $792,000
higher chiefly associated with interest on notes payable issued in connection
with the acquisition of Pacific Energy in September 1997. Ogden has two interest
rate swap agreements covering notional amounts of $100,000,000 and $4,300,000,
respectively. The first 
<PAGE>

swap agreement expires on December 16, 1998 and was entered into in order to
convert Ogden's fixed rate $100,000,000, 9.25% debentures into variable rate
debt. The second swap agreement expires on November 30, 2000 and was entered
into in order to convert Ogden's $4,300,000 variable rate debt to a fixed rate.
These agreements resulted in additional interest expense of $149,000 and $31,000
for the first three months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Equity in net income of investees and joint ventures for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 was $443,000 lower than the comparable period of 1997 chiefly
associated with reduced activity in two Entertainment joint ventures, and the
sale of Universal Ogden in 1997. These decreases were partially offset by the
acquisition of Pacific Energy joint ventures in September 1997.

The effective income tax rate for the first three months of 1998 was 35.5%
compared with 43% for the comparable period of 1997. This decrease of 7.5% was
chiefly associated with higher foreign earnings in countries with lower income
tax rates, and nonconventional fuel tax credits generated by Pacific Energy.

Capital Investments and Commitments: During the first three months of 1998,
capital investments amounted to $24,185,000, of which $4,889,000, inclusive of
restricted funds transferred from funds held in trust, was for Energy facilities
and $19,296,000 was for normal replacement and growth in Entertainment
($10,231,000), Aviation ($7,612,000), Energy ($1,243,000) operations and Other
($210,000).

At March 31, 1998, capital commitments amounted to $115,200,000 which included
$75,700,000 for normal replacement, modernization, and growth in Entertainment
($48,600,000), Aviation ($4,000,000), Energy ($15,600,000), and corporate and
other ($7,500,000) operations. Also included was $39,500,000 for Energy's
coal-fired power project in The Philippines reflecting $20,100,000 for the
remaining mandatory equity contributions, $5,700,000 for contingent equity
contributions, and $13,700,000 for a standby letter of credit in support of debt
service reserve requirements. Funding for the remaining mandatory equity
contribution is being provided through a bank credit facility, which must be
repaid in December 2001. The Corporation also has a $21,000,000 contingent
equity contribution in an Aviation joint venture in Argentina and a $11,400,000
contingent equity contribution in an entertainment venture. In addition,
compliance with standards and guidelines under the Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990 will require further Energy capital expenditures currently estimated at
$40,000,000 by December 2000 subject to the final time schedules determined by
the individual states in which the Company's waste-to-energy facilities are
located.

Ogden and certain of its subsidiaries have issued or are party to performance
bonds and guarantees and related contractual obligations undertaken mainly
pursuant to agreements to construct and operate certain waste-to-energy,
entertainment, and other facilities. In the normal course of business, they are
involved in legal proceedings in which damages and other remedies are sought. In
connection with certain contractual arrangements, Ogden has agreed to provide
two vendors with specified amounts of 
<PAGE>

business over a three and a half-year period. If these amounts are not provided,
the corporation may be liable for prorated damages of up to approximately
$5,700,000. Management does not expect that these contractual obligations, legal
proceedings, or any other contingent obligations incurred in the normal course
of business will have a material adverse effect on Ogden's Consolidated
Financial Statements.

During 1994, a subsidiary of Ogden entered into a 30-year facility management
contract, pursuant to which it agreed to advance funds to a customer and, if
necessary, to assist the customers' refinancing of senior secured debt incurred
in connection with the construction of the facility. During 1997, Ogden
purchased the customers senior secured debt in the amount of $95,000,000, using
borrowed funds, which senior secured debt was subsequently sold and the borrowed
funds repaid. Ogden is obligated to repurchase such senior secured debt in the
amount of $97,050,000 on December 30, 2002 if the debt is not refinanced prior
to that time. Ogden's repurchase obligation is collateralized by bank letters of
credit. Ogden is also required to repurchase the outstanding amount of certain
subordinated secured debt of such customer on December 30, 2002. At March 31,
1998, the amount outstanding was $51,565,000. In addition, the Corporation has
guaranteed indebtedness of $20,683,000 of an affiliate and principal tenant of
this customer, which indebtedness is due in September 1998. Ogden also has
guaranteed borrowings of a customer amounting to approximately $14,400,000 as
well as $20,300,000 of borrowings of joint ventures in which Ogden has an equity
interest. Management does not expect that these arrangements will have a
material adverse effect on Ogden's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity/Cash Flow: Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter
of 1998 was $86,359,000 higher than the comparable period of 1997, primarily
reflecting the collection in 1997 of $41,700,000 relating to certain legal
settlements, and an increase in other assets of $27,300,000 primarily reflecting
increased contract acquisition costs, goodwill and prepaid insurance. Net cash
used in investing activities increased $46,300,000 chiefly associated with
additional investments and advances in joint ventures primarily in Argentina,
the Philippines and Peru, and lower proceeds on the sale of businesses. Net cash
used in financing activities was $5,100,000 lower chiefly associated with a
reduction of $6,700,000 in funds held in trust in the Energy group, an increase
in other debt of $6,700,000 and an increase in proceeds of $3,500,000 from the
exercise of stock options. These increases were partially offset by the purchase
of treasury shares of $9,300,000 and increased payment of debt of $2,200,000.

Exclusive of changes in Energy facility construction activities and the
contracts discussed herein, the Corporation's other types of contracts are not
expected to have a material effect on liquidity. Debt service associated with
project debt, which is an explicit component of a client community's obligation
under its service agreement, is paid as it is billed and collected. Cash
required for investing and financing activities is expected to be satisfied from
operating activities; available funds, including short-term investments;
proceeds from the sale of noncore businesses; proceeds from the sale of 
<PAGE>

debt or equity securities; and the Corporation's unused credit facilities to the
extent needed.

At March 31, 1998, the Corporation had $108,980,000 in cash and cash equivalents
and unused revolving credit lines of $206,200,000.

In January 1998, Ogden's Board of Directors reauthorized the purchase of shares
of the Corporation's common stock in an amount up to $100,000,000. Through May
11, 1998, 513,400 shares of common stock were purchased for $14,557,946.

On May 4, 1998, the Corporation signed a definitive agreement to sell its
Aviation catering business to S.C. International Services for $84,800,000. The
transaction is subject to customary government and regulatory approvals.

Any statements in this communication, which may be considered to be "forward
looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties . The factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by any
such statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed or identified
from time to time in the Corporation's public filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and more generally, general economic conditions, including
changes in interest rates and the performance of the financial markets; changes
in domestic and foreign laws, regulations, and taxes; changes in competition and
pricing environments; and regional or general changes in asset valuations.

                         PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

            Ogden Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") are parties
to various legal proceedings involving matters arising in the ordinary course of
business. The Company does not believe that there are any pending legal
proceedings for damages against the Company, other than ordinary routine
litigation incidental to its business, the outcome of which would have a
material adverse effect on the Company on a consolidated basis.

(a)         Environmental Matters

            The Company conducts regular inquiries of its subsidiaries regarding
litigation and environmental violations which include determining the nature,
amount and likelihood of liability for any such claims, potential claims or
threatened litigation.

            In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may become
involved in Federal, state, and local proceedings relating to the laws
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment and the protection of
the environment. These include proceedings for the issuance, amendment, or
renewal of the licenses and permits pursuant to which a Company subsidiary
operates. Such proceedings also include actions brought by individuals or local
governmental authorities seeking to overrule governmental decisions on matters
relating to the subsidiaries' operations in which the subsidiary may be, but is
not necessarily, a party. Most proceedings brought against the Company by
governmental authorities or private parties under these laws relate to alleged
technical violations of regulations, licenses, or permits pursuant to which a
subsidiary operates. The Company believes that such proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

            The Company's operations are subject to various Federal, state and
local environmental laws and regulations, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean
Water Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Although the
Company operations are occasionally subject to proceedings and orders pertaining
to emissions into the environment and other environmental violations, the
Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with existing
environmental laws and regulations.

            In connection with certain previously divested operations, the
Company may be identified, along with other entities, as being among potentially
responsible parties responsible for contribution for costs associated with the
correction and remediation of environmental conditions at various hazardous
waste disposal sites subject to CERCLA. In certain instances the Company may be
exposed to joint and several liability for remedial action or damages. The
Company's ultimate liability in connection with such environmental claims will
depend on many factors, including its volumetric share of waste, the total cost
of remediation, the financial viability of other companies that also sent waste
to a given site and its contractual arrangement with the purchaser of such
operations.


                                      II-1
<PAGE>

            The potential costs related to such matters and the possible impact
on future operations are uncertain due in part to the complexity of government
laws and regulations and their interpretations, the varying costs and
effectiveness of cleanup technologies, the uncertain level of insurance or other
types of recovery, and the questionable level of the Company's responsibility.
Although the ultimate outcome and expense of environmental remediation is
uncertain, the Company believes that required remediation and continuing
compliance with environmental laws will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.

                                OGDEN CORPORATION

                       (As amended through April 8, 1998)

      Section 1. In addition to its principal office in the State of Delaware,
Ogden Corporation (the "Corporation") may also have offices at such other places
within or without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors shall from
time to time determine.

      Section 2. Meetings of the stockholders and meetings of the Board of
Directors may be held at any place or places within or without the State of
Delaware.

      Section 3. The Annual Meeting of Stockholders shall be held on such date
and at such time and place as may be fixed by the Board and stated in the notice
of the meeting, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of
any such other business as is properly brought before the meeting in accordance
with these By-laws. To be properly brought before an Annual Meeting occurring
subsequent to the Annual Meeting held in 1988, business must be either (I)
specified in the notice of Annual Meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by
or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the
Annual Meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (iii) otherwise properly
brought before the Annual Meeting by a stockholder. In addition to any other
applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an Annual
Meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof
in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's
notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation, not less than 50 days nor more than 75 days prior to
the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 65 days' notice
or prior public disclosure of the date of the Annual Meeting is given or made to
stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not
later than the close of business on the fifteenth day following the day on which
such notice of the date of the Annual Meeting was mailed or such public
disclosure was made, whichever first occurs. A stockholder's notice to the
Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring
before the Annual Meeting (I) a brief description of the business desired to be
brought before the Annual Meeting and the reasons for conducting such business
at the Annual Meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the stockholder
proposing such business, (iii) the class, series and number of shares of the
Corporation's stock which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (iv)
any material interest of the stockholder in such business. Notwithstanding
anything in the By-laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the
Annual Meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Section 3, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3 shall be deemed to
preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly 


                                        1

brought before the Annual Meeting. The Chairman of an Annual Meeting shall, if
the facts warrant, determine and declare to the Annual Meeting that business was
not properly brought before the Annual Meeting in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 3, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the
Annual Meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting
shall not be transacted. Written notice of the Annual Meeting stating the place,
date and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting
is called shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting
not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting.

      Section 4. (Deleted. Related to voting rights of a class of Preferred
Stock no longer authorized or issued).

      Section 5. Unless otherwise prescribed by law or by the Certificate of
Incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or
purposes, may be held upon call of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the
Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or a majority of the Board of Directors.
Special meetings of stockholders may not be called by any other person or
persons. Written notice of a special meeting stating the place, date and hour of
the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be
given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten nor
more than sixty days before the date of the meeting.

      Section 6. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following
procedures shall be eligible for election as directors at any meeting of
stockholders occurring subsequent to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in
1988. No individual can be nominated for election as a director who, at the time
of such election, is age 72 or older (amended April 8, 1998). Nominations of
persons for election to Board of Directors of the Corporation at the Annual
Meeting may be made at such meeting by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors, by any committee or persons appointed by the Board or by any
stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at
the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 6.
Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board,
shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the
Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed
and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than
50 days or more than 75 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in
the event that less than 65 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date
of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be
timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the fifteenth
day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed
or such public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs. Such stockholder's
notice to the Secretary shall set forth (I) as to each person whom the
stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, (a)
the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (b) the
principal occupation or employment of the person, (c) the class, series and

and (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice (a) the name and record address
of the stockholder and (b) the class, series and number of shares of capital
stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder. The
Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish his written consent to
serve if elected and such other information as may reasonably be required by the
Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a
director of the Corporation. No person shall be eligible for election as a
director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures
set forth herein. The Chairman of the meeting shall, 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.

      Section 7. The holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation
having voting power present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum, but
less than a quorum shall have power to adjourn any meeting from time to time
without notice. Except as aforesaid, except as provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation, and except as otherwise provided by law, a majority of a quorum
at any meeting of stockholders shall have power to act.

      Section 8. At every meeting of stockholders each stockholder entitled to
vote thereat may vote and otherwise act in person or by proxy; but no proxy
shall be voted upon more than three (3) years after its date unless such proxy
provides for a longer period.

      Section 9. At least ten days before each election of directors a complete
list, arranged in alphabetical order, of the stockholders entitled to vote at
the election shall be prepared and filed in the office where the election is to
be held and shall, during the usual hours of business, for said ten days, and
during the election, be open to the examination of any stockholder.

      Section 10. The Board of Directors may, before any meeting of stockholders
for the election of directors, appoint two inspectors of election to serve at
such election. If they fail to make such an appointment or if their appointees,
or either of them, fail to appear at such meeting, the Chairman of the meeting
may appoint inspectors or any inspector of election to act at that election.

      Section 11. Certificates of stock shall be of such form and device as the
Board of Directors may elect and shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, the President or a Vice President and the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, but where any such
certificate is signed by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent or
transfer clerk acting on behalf of the Corporation or by a registrar, the
signatures of any such officers of the Corporation may be facsimiles, engraved
or printed.

      Section 12. The stock of the Corporation shall be transferable or
assignable only on the books of the Corporation by the holders in person, or by
attorney, on the surrender of the certificates therefor. The Board of Directors
may appoint one or more transfer agents and registrars of the stock.

      Section 13. The Board of Directors shall have the power to close the stock
transfer books of the Corporation for a period not exceeding fifty (50) days
preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders, or the date for payment of
any dividend, or the date for the allotment of rights, or the date when any
change or conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect or for a
period of not exceeding fifty days in connection with obtaining the consents of
stockholders for any purpose. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books as
aforesaid, the Board of Directors is hereby authorized to fix in advance a date,
not exceeding fifty (50) days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders
or the date for the payment of any dividend or the date for the allotment of
rights, or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of capital stock
shall go into effect, or a date in connection with obtaining such consent, as a
record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of and
to vote at, any such meeting and adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive
payment of any such dividend, or to any such allotment of rights, or to exercise
the rights in respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of capital
stock, or to give such consent, and in such case such stockholders and only such
stockholders as shall be stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be
entitled to such notice of, and to vote at, such meeting and any adjournment
thereof or to receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such allotment of
rights, or to exercise such rights, or to give such consent, as the case may be,
notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Corporation after
any such record date.

      Section 14. The number of directors from time to time of the Corporation
shall be not less than twelve (12) nor more than eighteen (18) as shall be fixed
from time to time by the Board of Directors (amended April 8, 1998).

      Section 15. Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at times
fixed by resolutions of the Board or upon call of the Chairman of the Board, the
President, the Executive Vice President or any two directors and may be held
outside of the State of Delaware. The Secretary or officer performing his duties
shall give reasonable notice (which shall not be less than two (2) days) of all
meetings of directors, provided that a meeting may be held without notice
immediately after the annual election, and notice need not be given of regular
meetings held at times fixed by resolution of the Board. Meetings may be held at
any time without notice if all the directors are present or if those not present
waive notice either before or after the meeting. Notice by mail or telegraph to
the usual business or residence address of the directors not less than the time
above specified before the meeting shall be sufficient. One-third of the
directors shall constitute a quorum.

      Section 16. The Board of Directors shall have power to authorize the
payment of compensation to the directors for services to the Corporation,
including fees for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors, of the
Executive Committee and of other committees and to determine the amount of such
compensation and fees.

      Section 16-A. (a) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding,


                                       4
<PAGE>

whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

                        (b) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action
or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court shall deem
proper.

                        (c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or
agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b), or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith.

                        (d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b)
(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized
in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director,
officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b). Such
determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of
a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a
quorum of disinterested directors so


                                       5
<PAGE>

directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the
stockholders.

                        (e) Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the
final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay
such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in these By-laws.

                        (f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided by this Section 16-A of the By-laws shall not be deemed exclusive of
any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of
expenses may be entitled under any other by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee
or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.

                        (g) The Corporation shall have power to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of
his status as such whether or not the Corporation would have the power to
indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of these By-laws.

                        (h) Any amendment to this Section 16-A shall not apply
to any liability of a director, officer, employee or agent arising out of a
transaction or omission occurring prior to the adoption of such amendment, but
any such liability based on a transaction or omission occurring prior to the
adoption of such amendment shall be governed by Section 16-A of the By-laws, as
in effect at the time of such transaction or omission.

      Section 17. The Board of Directors, as soon as may be practicable after
the election of directors in each year, shall: (i) appoint one of their number
as Chairman of the Board, (ii) appoint one or more of their number as President,
each of whom shall also act as the President of one of the Corporation's
operating areas, and (iii) appoint one or more Vice Presidents and a Secretary
and may appoint from time to time such other officers, including a Treasurer, as
they may deem proper. The Chairman of the Board shall be the presiding officer
of the Corporation and shall preside at meetings of the Board of Directors and
of the shareholders. He shall have such other powers and duties as may from time
to time be conferred upon him by the Board of Directors.

      Section 18. The Chairman of the Board shall preside at all meetings of the
Boar and of the Stockholders and shall have such powers and duties as the Board
may assign to him. The President shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation and, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, shall preside at
all meetings of the Board and stockholders. The President


                                       6
<PAGE>

shall be the officer of the Corporation who has general and active
responsibility for the management of the business of the Corporation, and shall
be responsible for implementing all orders and resolutions of the Board of
Directors. The President shall have such other powers and duties as presidents
of corporations usually have or as the Board assigns to him. The other officers
of the Corporation shall have such powers and duties as usually pertain to their
offices, except as modified by the Board of Directors, and shall also have such
powers and duties as may from time to time be conferred upon them by the Board
of Directors.

      Section 19. The term of office of all officers shall be until the next
election of directors and until their respective successors are chosen and
qualified, or until they shall die or resign, but any officer may be removed
from office, without cause, at any time by the Board of Directors. Vacancies in
any office may be filled by the Board at any meeting.

      Section 20. The Board of Directors may establish a Management Committee,
an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Governance Committee, a
Technology Committee and such other committees of the Board as it may determine,
and delegate to said committees such powers and duties as it may determine by
resolution of the Board to the extent provided in the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware (amended April 8, 1998).

      Section 21. The Board of Directors may select such depositaries as they
shall deem proper for the funds of the Corporation. All checks and drafts
against such deposited funds shall be signed and countersigned by persons to be
specified by the Board of Directors.

      Section 22. The corporate seal of the Corporation shall be in such form as
the Board of Directors shall prescribe.

      Section 23. Either the Board of Directors or the stockholders may alter or
amend these By-laws at any meeting duly held as above provided, the notice of
which includes notice of the proposed alteration or amendment.

(A) Antidulitive


Note:

      Basic earnings per common share was computed by dividing net income,
reduced by preferred stock dividend requirements, by the weighted average of the
number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.

      Diluted earnings per common share was computed on the assumption that all
convertible debentures, convertible preferred stock, and stock options converted
at the exercised during each period, or outstanding at the end of each period
were converted at the beginning of each period or the date of issuance or grant,
if dilutive. This computation provides for the elimination of related
convertible debenture interest and preferred dividends.
