Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EARNINGS SUMMARY

     Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $1,590,000, an 
increase of 26.0% over 1995's net income of $1,262,000.  Net income for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $845,000.  This is a 32.2% increase over the 
same period a year ago.

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $4,500,000, 
a 4.8% increase over 1995's net interest income of $4,292,000.  Total interest 
income of $8,548,000 is a 7.0% increase over 1995's total interest income of 
$7,992,000.  Total interest expense of $4,048,000 is a 9.4% increase over 
1995's total interest expense of $4,292,000.

     Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $2,302,000.  
This is a 9.4% increase over 1995's net interest income of $2,104,000.  Total 
interest income was $4,323,000, a 6.3% increase over 1995's total interest 
income of $4,067,000.  Total interest expense of $2,021,000 is a 3.0% increase 
over 1995's total interest expense of $1,963,000.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     No provision to the allowance for loan losses was made during the first 
six months of 1996.  The allowance for loan losses is deemed adequate as 
calculated in accordance with Banking Circular #201 and with respect to SFAS 
114/118.  Loans considered to be impaired according to SFAS 114/118 totalled 
$328,000 at June 30, 1996.  The portion of the allowance for loan losses 
allocated to impaired loans at June 30, 1996 was $63,000.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest income of $616,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was 
an increase of 52.9% from 1995's non-interest income of $403,000.  This 
increase can be attributed to an increase in fiduciary income and fees charged 
for processing merchant credit card deposits.

     Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $316,000, a 
29.5% increase over 1995's non-interest income of $244,000.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Non-interest expense of $2,771,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 
is a decrease of 2.8% from 1995's non-interest expense of $2,850,000.  Non-
interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1996  was $1,371,000, a 3.2% 
decrease over the same period a year ago.  A significant reduction in FDIC 
insurance premiums was the principal cause for these decreases.

INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes on operating earnings increased to $755,000 for the first six 
months of 1996 from $583,000 for the same period a year ago.  Income taxes on 
operating earnings were $845,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared 
to $639,000 in 1995.  The level of income taxes has increased as a result of 
the Company's increased earnings.

DEPOSITS AND BORROWED FUNDS

     Deposits as of June 30, 1996 increased by 4.8% or $6,764,000 from June 30, 
1995.  Demand deposits increased by 17.9% or $1,987,000, NOW deposits decreased 
by 0.9% or $223,000, savings deposits decreased by 2.0% or $672,000, money 
market deposits decreased by 25.5% or $1,699,000 and certificates of deposit 
increased by 11.4% or $7,371,000.  

     Deposits were supplemented by borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank 
and repurchase agreements.  Total borrowed funds increased by 18.9% or 
$8,839,000 from the same period a year ago. 

STOCKHOLDERS' INVESTMENT AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Stockholders' investment as of June 30, 1996 was $20,777,000 compared to 
$18,143,000 for the same period in 1995.  The reason for this increase was the 
strong earnings performance in the year 1995 and the first six months of 1996.

     During 1995, the Company declared cash dividends of 14 cents per share for 
the first quarter and 15 cents per share for the second and third quarters.  
Dividends were increased by one cent in the fourth quarter to 16 cents per 
share.  In addition, the Company declared a one-time special cash dividend of 
10 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 1995.  Dividends were increased one 
cent in the first quarter and again in the second quarter of 1996 to the 
current level of 18 cents per share.

     Leverage capital ratios for the Company were 9.17% and 8.70%, 
respectively, at June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995.  The Bank had a tier one 
risk-based capital ratio of 14.06% and tier two risk-based capital ratio of 
15.31% at June 30, 1996, compared to 13.00% and 14.25%, respectively, at June 
30, 1995.  These were comfortably above the standards to be rated "well-
capitalized" by the regulatory authorities.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

     As of June 30, 1996 the Bank had primary sources of liquidity of 
$42,734,000, or 18.9% of its assets.  It is Management's opinion that this is 
adequate.  In its Asset/Liability policy, the Bank has adopted guidelines for 
liquidity.

     We are not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory 
authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect 
on the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

LOAN POLICIES

     Real estate values:

A.  Residential properties  We loan up to 80% of the appraised value of 
properties without mortgage insurance and up to 95% of the appraised value of 
properties with mortgage insurance.  No further appraisals are done as long as 
the payment history remains satisfactory.  If a loan becomes delinquent, a 
review might be done of the loan.

When a loan becomes 90 or more days past due, an in-depth review is made of 
the loan and a determination made as to whether or not a reappraisal is 
required.

Page 10
<PAGE>
B.  Land only properties  We do not have many of these but we do loan up to 65% 
of the appraised value of the property.  They are handled the same way as above 
from booking date on.

C.  Commercial properties  We loan up to 75% of the appraised value and, once 
the loan is closed, the decision to re-appraise a property is subjective and 
depends on a variety of factors, such as:  the payment status of the loan, the 
risk rating of the loan, the amount of time that has passed since the last 
appraisal, changes in the real estate market, availability of financing, 
inventory of competing properties, and changes in condition of the property 
i.e. zoning changes, environmental contamination, etc.

Note:  A certified or licensed appraiser is used for all appraisals.

     At June 30, 1996 and 1995, loans on a non-accrual status totaled $798,000 
and $1,511,000, respectively.  In addition to loans on a non-accrual status at 
June 30, 1996 and 1995, loans past due greater than 90 days totaled $45,000 and 
$100,000 respectively.  The Company continues to accrue interest on these loans 
because it believes collection of the interest is reasonably assured.

INVESTMENTS

     In the first quarter of 1994, the Company adopted SFAS 115, "Accounting 
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  SFAS 115 requires that 
all debt securities be classified into one of three categories:  trading 
securities, securities available for sale and securities held to maturity.  As 
of June 30, 1996 stockholders' equity was reduced by $10,000 due to a net 
unrealized loss in the available-for-sale portfolio.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     No material off-balance sheet risk exists that requires a separate 
liability presentation.

SALE OF LOANS

     In the first quarter of 1996, the Company adopted SFAS 122, "Accounting 
for Mortgage Servicing Rights".  This statement requires mortgage servicing 
rights, whether purchased or originated, to be capitalized and subsequently 
considerd for impairment.  As of June 30, 1996, the Bank had not acquired any 
servicing rights through loan origination or purchase transactions.

No recourse obligations have been incurred in connection with the sale of 
loans.

RISK ELEMENTS

     Any loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, 
substandard, or special mention that have not been disclosed under Item III of 
Industry Guide 3 do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which 
Management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, 
liquidity or capital resources.

     There are no known potential problem loans which are not now disclosed 
pursuant to Item III. C. 1. of Industry Guide 3.  Item III. C. 2. is not 
applicable.

REGULATORY MATTERS

     Procedures for monitoring Bank Loan Administration:

A. Loan reviews are done on a regular basis.

B. An action plan is prepared quarterly on all criticized commercial loans 
greater than $100,000.

C. Delinquent loans are reviewed weekly by the Bank's Collections Officer and 
Senior Loan Officer.

D. A tickler system is utilized to insure timely receipt of current information 
(such as financial statements, appraisals and/or credit memos to the credit 
file).

Note:  Most of the above applies only to commercial loans, but retail loans are 
reviewed periodically, usually around a delinquency.

Procedures for monitoring Bank Other Real Estate Owned:

The O.R.E.O. portfolio is handled by the Collections Officer, with backup
by the Senior Loan Officer.  Most properties are listed with real estate 
brokers for sale.  All properties are appraised periodically for market value, 
and provision is made to the allowance for O.R.E.O. losses if the estimated 
market value after selling costs is lower than the carrying value of the 
property.


OTHER

TERMINATION OF PENSION PLAN

     As of May 31, 1996, the Company ceased benefit accruals for its pension 
plan, which covers substantially all employees. All required documents 
requesting approval for termination of the defined benefit plan were filed with 
the Internal Revenue Service and the Pension Guarantee Corporation on June 18, 
1996. The Company expects to receive final approvals for termination of the 
plan in the fourth quarter of 1996, at which time the assets of the plan will 
be distributed to fulfill the Company's liabilities under the plan. The 
estimated value of the plan assets exceeds the estimated value of plan 
liabilities as of the proposed distribution date.

     The Company is modifying its defined contribution (401k) plan as a 
replacement for the pension plan, and has added an annual compensation-based 
contribution to the plan, in addition to the current employer-matching 
contribution. Neither the termination of the defined benefit plan nor modifying 
of the defined contribution plan is expected to have a material impact on the 
Company's financial statements.


     The quarterly financial statements in the opinion of Management fairly 
represent all adjustments made to reflect the current financial condition of 
the Company for this interim period just ended.  All such adjustments were of a 
normal recurring nature.

11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.  Only shareholders of record at the close of 
business on March 12, 1996 (the "Voting Record Date") were entitled to vote at 
the Annual Meeting.  On the Voting Record Date, there were 610,634 shares of

Company had no other class of equity securities outstanding. Each share of 
Common Stock was entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting on all matters

PROPOSAL 3: Increase Authorized Common Stock; Change Par Value

     The Company's board of directors, prior to the annual meeting, approved an 
amendment to Article V of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to (a) 
increase the number of shares of common stock of the Company authorized for 
issuance from 1,200,000 to 6,000,000, and (b) change the par value of the 
common stock of the Company from no par value to $.01 par value per share.  A 
copy of the amendment is presented in Exhibit 3.1.

     The purpose of the change in par value is to reduce from $14,135 to $70 
the filing fee that would be payable by the Company to the Secretary of State 
in connection with the proposed increase in authorized shares.  The effect of 
this change will be to cause the sum of $1,519,482.66 (based on the number of 
shares issued and outstanding as of March 12, 1996) to be moved from the Common 
Stock entry on the Company's balance sheet and into the Additional Paid-In 
Capital entry, and to preclude the Company from selling any of its stock for 
less than $.01 per share.  Management believes that neither of these outcomes 
will have a material impact on the Company.

     The purpose of the increase in the number of authorized shares of common 
stock is to provide the Company with the flexibility to issue additional shares 
of stock, including in private or public offerings to raise additional capital 
or through stock dividends or stock splits which may be effected in order to 
restore the trading price of the Company's stock within a range that may be 
more conducive to the maintenance of a market in the shares.  The authorized 
but unissued shares of Common Stock could be used to make more difficult a 
change in control of the Company.  In certain circumstances, such shares could 
be used to dilute the stock ownership of a person or entity seeking to obtain 
control of the Company.  Such shares could also be privately placed with 
purchasers who might side with the Board in opposing a hostile takeover bid.  
No such issuances, however, are presently planned for the near term.

     The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding 
common stock of the company was required in order to effectuate the proposed 
amendment. The board of directors recommended that the shareholders vote for 
the proposed amendment.

PROPOSAL 4: Amendments to Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation

     The Company's board of directors, prior to the annual meeting, approved an 
amendment to the Company's Bylaws deleting Article VI of the Bylaws as well as 
an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation that would add Article 
VIII, as set forth in Exhibit 3.1.  These actions were considered together at 
the annual meeting.  The affirmative vote of the holders of 80% of the 
outstanding shares of Common Stock was necessary in order to effectuate these 
amendments.  The Board of Directors recommended that the shareholders vote for 
these amendments.

     Article VI of the Company's Bylaws, to be deleted from the Bylaws, 
contains provisions designed to deter certain change of control transactions 
involving the Company or the Bank.  As does the proposed new provision of the 
Articles of Incorporation, Article VI requires 80% shareholder approval for 
certain major transactions such as mergers, asset sales, liquidation of the 
Company and certain stock issuances or recapitalizations involving a large 
shareholder of the Company.  However, this Bylaw does not permit the Board of 
Directors, without first obtaining this extremely high level of shareholder 
approval, to enter into many less significant transactions (e.g., the 
acquisition of branches or other assets having a value of as low as 5% of the 
Company's consolidated assets) even where such transactions are favored by the 
board and are not being proposed or forced upon the Company by a large 
stockholder or prospective acquiror.

     The Board believes that this Bylaw is unnecessarily restrictive, and could 
preclude the Company and its shareholders from benefiting from a wide array of 
transactions due to the extreme difficulty and expense associated with 
obtaining the requisite 80% shareholder vote.  Nevertheless, the Board favors 
the continuation of those aspects of the Bylaw that provide added protection 
against change in control and other transactions which are coercively initiated 
by a prospective acquiror, and believes that the amendment described below 
achieves this goal while providing the flexibility that the Bylaw lacks.

Description of Proposed Amendment to Articles of Incorporation
     It was proposed that the Articles of Incorporation be amended to include 
provisions which govern any proposed "Business Combination" (defined generally 
to include certain sales, exchanges, leases, mortgages, pledges, transfers or 
other dispositions of assets, mergers or consolidations, adoptions or plans or 
proposals for liquidation or dissolution or certain issuances and 
reclassifications of securities of the Company) between the Company or certain 
of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and an Interested Stockholder, affiliate 
or associate thereof, on the other hand, as well as additional provisions 
governing selected "Control Transactions" involving changes in control of the 
Company or its subsidiary, irrespective of whether an Interested Stockholder is 
involved.  An "Interested Stockholder" is defined generally to include any 
individual, entity or group, other than the Company and its subsidiaries or 
their employee benefit plans, which is the beneficial owner of ten percent 
(10%) or more of the Common Stock outstanding.

Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders
     As amended, the Articles of Incorporation will require the prior 
affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of all 
outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote in order for the Company or any of 
its subsidiaries to engage, directly or indirectly, in any Business Combination 
with an Interested Stockholder.  This requirement does not apply, however, to 
any Business Combination which is approved by a majority of the Continuing 

Page 19
<PAGE>
Directors (defined generally as those directors who are not affiliates, 
associates or representatives of the Interested Stockholder and who were 
elected prior to the time that an Interested Stockholder became an Interested 
Stockholder, and any successor of a Continuing Director who is not an 
affiliate, associate or representative of the Interested Stockholder and is 
recommended or elected to succeed the Continuing Director by a majority of 
Continuing Directors).  In the event that this latter condition is met, the 
Business Combination would require only the shareholder vote required by law, 
the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, or otherwise.  (The provisions 
described below under "Control Transactions", however, nonetheless require the 
affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting 
shares of the Company for certain mergers, substantial asset sales or stock 
issuances, and for the liquidation of the Company or a Subsidiary, irrespective 
of whether an Interested Stockholder is involved or the board of directors 
approves such transaction.)

     In addition, in the event that a Business Combination with an Interested 
Stockholder does occur without the approval of a majority of the Continuing 
Directors, each stockholder must be offered by the Interested Stockholder the 
opportunity to exchange such stockholder's shares of Common Stock for 
consideration not less in value than the highest price paid by the Interested 
Stockholder in acquiring any of its holdings in the Company, and no stockholder 
will receive consideration different in form or proportion from that received 
by any other stockholder in connection with the Business Combination.

Control Transactions
     As amended, the Articles of Incorporation will require the prior approval 
of a majority of the Company's directors and of the holders of at least 
sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of all outstanding shares of stock 
entitled to vote, in order for the Company or any of its subsidiaries to 
engage, directly or indirectly, in any Control Transaction (defined generally 
to include sales of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a 
subsidiary, liquidation, dissolution or mergers as a result of which the 
stockholders of the Company or such subsidiary own less than sixty percent 
(60%) of the stock of the surviving entity, or stock issuances resulting in a 
person or group acting together owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the 
stock of the Company or a subsidiary).  Unlike the Business Combination 
provision described above, the approval of a Control Transaction by the 
Company's directors does not eliminate the need to obtain the stated higher 
level of shareholder approval.  Because the definitions of Control Transaction 
and Business Combination overlap in several areas, in a Control Transaction 
that happens to involve an Interested Stockholder, the approval of a majority 
of the Continuing Directors would result only in the waiver of the 80% 
shareholder vote otherwise required for Business Combinations; however, such a 
transaction would also require the approval of a majority of all the directors 
and of the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the 
Company's outstanding stock, insofar as such requirements are not waivable 
under the Control Transaction provisions.

Purpose and Effect of Proposed Amendment
      The purpose of the Business Combination provision described above is to 
restrict certain "self-dealing" transactions by a stockholder who could 
otherwise be able, unilaterally, to cause a Business Combination to be 
effectuated, and to give greater assurance to the stockholders that they will 
receive fair and equitable treatment in the event of certain Business 
Combinations involving the Company or a subsidiary and an Interested 
Stockholder.  The purpose of the Control Transaction provision described above 

Page 20
<PAGE>
is to alter the approval standards otherwise applicable to such transactions, 
which ordinarily require only board approval (in the case of stock issuances) 
or board approval together with the approval of the holders of a bare majority 
(50.1%) of the Common Stock of the Company, in order to require that certain 
transactions that could undermine the Bank's identity and function as a 
community bank serving the mid-coastal region of Maine be taken only with the 
approval of a more substantial majority of its owners.  For example, a merger 
with another bank resulting in the Company's stockholders collectively owning a 
minority interest in the combined entity would necessitate a 66 2/3% 
shareholder vote, due to the overall change in control associated with the 
transaction, whereas a merger in which the Company were to acquire a smaller 
bank and the Company's shareholders were to own collectively 75% of the stock 
of the combined entity would require only the approval of the holders of a 
majority of the Company's stock, on the basis that overall control would not 
shift in the transaction.

     However, these provisions may make more difficult or discourage a merger 
or acquisition of control of the Company, including a transaction offering 
financial terms deemed attractive by a majority in interest of the Company's 
stockholders, since a Business Combination with an Interested Stockholder which 
is not approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors will require the 
approval of the holders of eighty percent (80%) of all outstanding shares of 
stock entitled to vote, and a Control Transaction must receive the approval of 
a majority of the Company's directors and of the holders of sixty-six and 
two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to 
vote.  In addition, to the extent that these provisions discourage or impede 
takeovers that would result in the change of the Company's management, such 
changes may be less likely to occur.

Amendments
     Under Maine law, unless otherwise provided in the articles of 
incorporation and upon the adoption of a resolution by the board of directors, 
stockholders may amend the articles of incorporation by the affirmative vote of 
the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote.  
It is proposed to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, however, 
to alter this quantum of vote, and require the affirmative vote of the holders 
of not less than eighty percent (80%) of all outstanding shares of stock 
entitled to vote, for any amendment or provision affecting the provisions 
described above relating to certain "Business Combinations" with an Interested 
Stockholder.  However, the special provisions described in this paragraph will 
not apply to, and special votes shall not be required for, any amendment to the 
Business Combination provisions which has been recommended by the Board of 
Directors, if a majority of the directors then in office are Continuing 
Directors.  The Control Transaction provisions may be amended only by a vote of 
the holders of at least 66 2/3% of all outstanding shares entitled to vote, 
irrespective of whether the Board of Directors recommends such an amendment.  
The special votes required for amendments to these provisions of the Articles 
of Incorporation are designed to prevent any stockholder from circumventing 
such provisions by amending the Articles of Incorporation.

     The affirmative vote of 80% of the holders of the outstanding common stock 
of the company was required in order to effectuate the proposed amendments.  
The board of directors recommended that the shareholders vote for the proposed 
amendment. The results of the shareholder voting had 535,626 shares in favor of 
Proposal 4, 18,478 shares against, and 56,640 shares not voting. The proposal 
passed with an affirmative vote of more than 80% of the outstanding common 
stock of the company.

PROPOSAL 5: Appointment of Auditors

     The Board of Directors appointed Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker as 
independent auditors of the Company and its subsidiary for the year ended 
December 31, 1995. In the opinion of the Board of Directors, the reputation, 
qualifications and experience of the firm make its reappointment appropriate 
for 1996. It was the desire of the Board of Directors that the selection of 
Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker as independent auditors be ratified by 
shareholders at the Annual Meeting.

     The results of the shareholder voting had 571,106 shares in favor, 400 
shares against, and 39,238 shares not voting.

Article EIGHTH to the Articles of Incorporation of
First National Lincoln Corporation

of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the corporation or otherwise, except as 
otherwise expressly provided in Paragraph (b) of this Article EIGHTH, the 
corporation shall not engage, directly or indirectly, in any Business 
Combination (as hereinafter defined) with an Interested Stockholder (as 
hereinafter defined) without the affirmative vote of not less than eighty 
percent (80%) of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all 
outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote.  Such affirmative vote shall be 
required notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be required, or that a

otherwise provided in Paragraph (b) of this Article EIGHTH:  (i) the notice of

applicable to any particular Business Combination, and such Business 
Combination shall require only such affirmative vote, if any, as is required by 
law, the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the corporation, or 
otherwise, if such Business Combination shall have been approved by a majority 
(whether such approval is made prior to or subsequent to the acquisition of

convertible into Common Stock or into equity securities of any Subsidiary, that 
is beneficially owned by any Interested Stockholder or any Affiliate or

     (vii)  The term "Continuing Director" means any member of the Board of 
Directors, while such person is a member of the Board of Directors, who is not 
an Affiliate or Associate or representative of the Interested Stockholder and

Market Value (as hereinafter defined) in excess of five percent (5%) of the 
book value of the total consolidated assets of the corporation and its

any such exchange, the highest closing bid quotation with respect to a share of 
such stock, during the 30-day period preceding the date in question, on the 
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System or 
any similar system then in use, or if no such quotations are available, the 
fair market value on the date in question of a share of such stock as 
determined by a majority of the Continuing Directors in good faith; and (C) in 
the case of property other than cash or stock, the fair market value of such 
property on the date in question as determined in good faith by a majority of 
the Continuing Directors.

     (x)  The term "Control Transaction" shall mean:

     (A)  any merger or consolidation of this corporation or any Subsidiary as 
a result of which (i) this corporation no longer is the beneficial owner of a 
majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of such Subsidiary, or (ii) 
the stockholders of this corporation immediately preceding such merger or 
consolidation are not, collectively, the beneficial owners (in proportion to 
their respective beneficial ownership of Common Stock immediately preceding 
such merger or consolidation (excluding only the effect of the exercise of 
statutory dissenters' rights or the payment of cash in lieu of fractional 
shares)) of at least sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of common 
stock of the surviving corporation immediately following the consummation of 
such merger or consolidation; or 

     (B)  any sale or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of 
transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of this corporation or 
any Subsidiary; or

     (C)  the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or 
dissolution of, or similar transaction involving, the corporation or any 
Subsidiary; or

     (D)  the issuance to any person, in one transaction or a series of 
transactions, of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, of 
the corporation or any Subsidiary as a result of which such person would be (or

(25%) or more of the outstanding common stock of the corporation or any 
Subsidiary; or

     (E)  any agreement, contract or other arrangement providing for any one or 
more of the actions specified in the foregoing clauses (A) to (D).

     (d)  The Board of Directors shall have the power and duty to determine for 
the purposes of this Article EIGHTH, on the basis of information known to them 
after reasonable inquiry, (A) whether a person is an Interested Stockholder, 
(B) the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities beneficially owned 
by any person, (C) whether a person is an Affiliate or Associate of another and 
(D) whether the assets that are the subject of any Business Combination have, 
or the consideration to be received for the issuance or transfer of securities 
by this corporation or any Subsidiary in any Business Combination has, an 
aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of the amount set forth in Subparagraph 
(ix)(B) of Paragraph (c) of this Article EIGHTH, or whether the assets that are 
the subject of any possible Control Transaction constitute all or substantially 
all of the assets of the corporation or any Subsidiary.  Any such determination 
made in good faith shall be binding and conclusive on all parties.

Page 27
<PAGE>
     (e)  Nothing contained in this Article EIGHTH shall be construed to 
relieve any Interested Stockholder from any fiduciary obligation imposed by 
law.

     (f)  In addition to any affirmative vote required by law, these Articles 
of Incorporation, the bylaws of the corporation or otherwise, except as 
otherwise expressly provided in this Paragraph (f), the corporation shall not 
engage, directly or indirectly, in any Control Transaction (as defined in 
Paragraph (c) of this Article EIGHTH) without the approval of at least a 
majority of the directors of the corporation and the affirmative vote of not 
less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the votes entitled to 
be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote.  
Such approval and affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the fact 
that no vote or approval may be required, or that a lesser percentage vote or 
approval may be specified by law or otherwise.

(g)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or 
the Bylaws of the corporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser 
percentage or separate class vote may be specified by law, the Articles of 
Incorporation or the Bylaws of the corporation), the affirmative vote of the 
holders of not less than (i) eighty percent (80%) of the votes entitled to be 
cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be required 
to amend or repeal, or adopt any provisions inconsistent with Paragraphs (a) 
through (e) of this Article EIGHTH, and (ii) sixty-six and two-thirds percent 
(66 2/3%) of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all outstanding 
shares of Common Stock shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any 
provisions inconsistent with Paragraph (f) of this Article EIGHTH; provided, 
however, that, with respect to Paragraphs (a) through (e) of this Article 
EIGHTH such special voting requirements shall not apply to, and such special 
votes shall not be required for, any amendment, repeal or adoption recommended 
by the Board if a majority of the Directors then in office are persons who 
would be eligible to serve as Continuing Directors.
