     FOURTH:  The preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations
as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of the
various classes of shares shall be as set forth in the Corporation's Articles of
Incorporation and shall be subject to all provisions of the Articles of
Incorporation relating to shares of the Corporation generally, and those set
forth as follows:

     (a) The assets of each Class of a Series shall be invested in the same
     investment portfolio of the Corporation.

     (b) The dividends and distributions of investment income and capital gains
     with respect to each class of shares shall be in such amount as may be
     declared from time to time by the Board of Directors, and the dividends and
     distributions of each class of shares may vary from the dividends and
     distributions of the other classes of shares to reflect differing
     allocations of the expenses of the Corporation among the holders of each
     class and any resultant differences between the net asset value per share
     of each class, to such extent and for such purposes as the Board of
     Directors may deem appropriate.  The allocation of investment income or
     capital gains and expenses and liabilities of the Corporation among the
     classes shall be determined by the Board of Directors in a manner it deems
     appropriate.

     (c) Class A shares of each Series and Class II shares of each Series
     (including fractional shares) may be subject to an initial sales charge
     pursuant to the terms of the issuance of such shares.

     (d) The proceeds of the redemption of Class B shares, Class C shares and
     Class II shares of each Series (including fractional shares) may be reduced
     by the amount of any contingent deferred sales charge payable on such
     redemption pursuant to the terms of the issuance of such shares.

     (e) The holders of Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class
     II shares of each Series shall have (i) exclusive voting rights with
     respect to provisions of any service plan or service and distribution plan
     adopted by the Corporation pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
     Company Act of 1940 (a "Plan") applicable to the respective class of the
     respective Series and (ii) no voting rights with respect to the provisions
     of any Plan applicable to any other class or Series of shares or with
     regard to any other matter submitted to a vote of shareholders which does
     not affect holders of that respective class of the respective Series of
     shares.

     (f)(1) Each Class B share of each Series, other than a share purchased
     through the automatic reinvestment of a dividend or a distribution with
     respect to Class B shares, shall be converted automatically, and without
     any action or choice on the part of the holder thereof, into Class A shares
     of that Series on the date that is the first business day of the month in
     which the sixth anniversary of the issuance of the Class B shares occurs
     (the "Conversion Date").  With respect to Class B shares issued in an
     exchange or series of exchanges for shares of capital stock of another
     investment company or class or series thereof registered under the
     Investment Company Act of 1940 pursuant to an exchange privilege granted by
     the Corporation, the date of issuance of the Class B shares for purposes of
     the immediately preceding sentence shall be the date of issuance of the
     original shares of capital stock.

          (2)  Each Class B share of a Series purchased through the automatic
     reinvestment of a dividend or a distribution with respect to Class B shares
     shall be segregated in a separate sub-account.  Each time any Class B
     shares in a shareholder's Fund account (other than those in the sub-
     account) convert to Class A shares, an equal pro rata portion of the Class
     B shares then in the sub-account shall also convert automatically to Class
     A shares without any action or choice on the part of the holder thereof.
     The portion shall be determined by the ratio that the shareholder's Class B
     shares of a Series converting to Class A shares bears to the shareholder's
     total Class B shares of that Series not acquired through dividends and
     distributions.

          (3) The conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares is subject to
     the continuing availability of an opinion of counsel or a ruling of the
     Internal Revenue Service that payment of

                                       3
<PAGE>

     different dividends on Class A and Class B shares does not result in the
     Corporation's dividends or distributions constituting "preferential
     dividends" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that
     the conversion of shares does not constitute a taxable event under federal
     income tax law.

          (4) The number of Class A shares of a Series into which a share of
     Class B shares is converted pursuant to paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) hereof
     shall equal the number (including for this purpose fractions of shares)
     obtained by dividing the net asset value per share of the Class B shares of
     the Series (for purposes of sales and redemptions thereof on the Conversion
     Date) by the net asset value per share of the Class A shares of the Series
     (for purposes of sales and redemptions thereof on the Conversion Date).

          (5) On the Conversion Date, the Class B shares of a Series converted
     into Class A shares will cease to accrue dividends and will no longer be
     deemed outstanding and the rights of the holders thereof (except the right
     to receive (i) the number of Class A shares into which the Class B shares
     have been converted and (ii) declared but unpaid dividends to the
     Conversion Date) will cease. Certificates representing Class A shares
     resulting from the conversion need not be issued until certificates
     representing Class B shares converted, if issued, have been received by the
     Corporation or its agent duly endorsed for transfer.
