1. BUSINESS SUMMARY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS
JP Realty, Inc. (the "Company") is primarily engaged in the
business of owning, leasing, managing, operating, developing and
redeveloping malls, community centers and other commercial
properties. The tenant base includes primarily national retail
chains and local retail companies. Consequently, the Company's
credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry. The Company's
properties are owned and controlled by the Company through its 83%
general partner interest in Price Development Company, Limited
Partnership ("PDC").
2. SECONDARY OFFERING
On January 28, 1997, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares of
Common Stock in an underwritten public offering at an offering
price of $27.125 per share. Gross proceeds raised were
approximately $40,700 with net proceeds to the Company of $38,600.
The proceeds were used to purchase additional interests in PDC.
PDC used the proceeds and additional operating cash to reduce the
$50,000 credit facility by $39,900.
3. BORROWINGS
In January and February 1997, the Company paid a total of
$39,900 to reduce the $50,000 credit facility resulting in a
balance outstanding as of March 31, 1997 of $4,100 (See Note 2).
On July 30, 1996, Spokane Mall Development Company, a
consolidated partnership, of which PDC is the General Partner,
entered into a $50,000 construction facility. The construction
facility will be used to fund the development and construction of
the Spokane Valley Mall in Spokane, Washington. The construction
loan has a 3 year term with an optional 2 year extension and is
secured by the Spokane Valley Mall and guaranteed by PDC. As of
March 31, 1997, borrowings on the loan were $24,920.
4. SFAS 128 DISCLOSURE
The Company is required to adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), Earnings Per Share as of
December 31, 1997; earlier application is not permitted. SFAS 128
specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure
requirements for earnings per share. The Company does not believe
that the adoption of SFAS 128 will have a material effect on the
Company's method of calculation or display of earning per share
amounts.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
-------------------------------------------------
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------------------
OVERVIEW
The Company completed its initial public offering on January
21, 1994, and conducts all of its business operations through its
83% controlling general partner interest in, Price Development
Company, Limited Partnership ("PDC").
The Company is a fully integrated, self administered and self-
managed REIT primarily engaged in the ownership, leasing,
management, operation, development, redevelopment and acquisition
of retail properties in the Intermountain Region, as well as in
Oregon, Washington and California. The Company's existing
portfolio consists of 44 properties, including 11 enclosed regional
malls, 24 community centers, three freestanding retail properties
and six mixed-use commercial properties. The Company's financial
condition and results of operations was positively impacted by the
Company's April 1996 acquisition of the Grand Teton Mall, as well
as its development activities which added a combined 537,668 square
feet of GLA to the retail portfolio and 24,000 square feet of GLA
to the commercial portfolio. The Company also completed an
additional public offering in January 1997, raising approximately
$40.7 million in gross proceeds through the sale of 1,500,000
shares of its Common Stock.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 TO THREE MONTHS
ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997
increased $1,433 or 8% to $18,375 as compared to $16,942 in 1996.
This increase is primarily attributable to a $1,003 or 8% increase
in minimum rents to $13,207 as compared to $12,204 in 1996.
Additionally, percentage and overage rents increased $85 or 9% to
$1,003 as compared to $918 in 1996.
The April 1996 acquisition of the Grand Teton Mall,
contributed $972 to the minimum rent increase and $48 to the
percentage and overage rent increase.
Recoveries from tenants increased $262 or 7% to $3,879 as
compared to $3,617 in 1996. Property operating expenses, including
operating and maintenance and real estate taxes and insurance
increased $145 or 6% and $1 or 0% respectively. This increase is
mainly due to the 1996 Grand Teton Mall property acquisition.
Grand Teton Mall tenant recoveries and operating expenses were $339
and $415, respectively. Recoveries from tenants as a percentage of
property operating expenses were 72% compared to 71% in 1996.
Depreciation and amortization increased $223 or 8% to $3,067
as compared to $2,844 in 1996. This increase is primarily due to
the acquisition of Grand Teton Mall and the increase in newly
developed GLA.
Interest expense increased $103 or 7% to $1,676 as compared to
$1,573 in 1996. This increase resulted from additional borrowings
used to acquire the Grand Teton Mall in April 1996.
<PAGE> 10
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal uses of its liquidity and capital
resources have historically been for distributions, property
development, expansion and renovation programs and debt repayment.
To maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Company is required to
distribute to its shareholders at least 95% of its "Real Estate
Investment Trust Taxable Income", as defined in the Code. During
the quarter ended March 31, 1997 the Company declared a
distribution of $.435 per share payable April 22, 1997 to the
shareholders of record as of April 4, 1997.
The Company's principal source of liquidity is its cash flow
from operations generated from its real estate investments. As of
March 31, 1997, the Company's cash and restricted cash amounted to
approximately $8.2 million. In addition to its cash and restricted
cash, unused capacity under its Credit Facilities totaled $70.9
million. On January 28, 1997, the Company completed an additional
public offering of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, raising
approximately $40.7 million in gross proceeds. The net proceeds of
approximately $38.8 million were used to pay costs of the offering
and to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities by
approximately $38.6 million. After the use of the proceeds from
the January public offering, the Company has an unused borrowing
capacity under its Credit Facilities of approximately 70.9 million.
The Company expects to meet its short term cash requirements,
including recurring capital expenditures related to maintenance and
improvement of existing properties, through undistributed funds
from operations, cash balances and advances under the Credit
Facilities. Exclusive of construction and development activities,
capital expenditures (both revenue and non-revenue enhancing) for
the existing properties are budgeted in 1997 to be approximately
$4.2 million.
The Company's principal long-term liquidity requirements will
be the repayment of principal on the $95 million mortgage debt,
which matures in 2001 and requires principal payments in an amount
necessary to reduce the debt to $83.1 million as of January 21,
2000, and the retirement of outstanding balances under the Credit
Facilities.
An additional long-term liquidity need of the Company is the
construction of the regional mall in Spokane, Washington. On July
30, 1996, the Company entered into a $50 million construction
facility to meet its development and construction needs regarding
the Spokane project. Completion of the project, which is expected
to contain approximately 750,000 square feet of total GLA, is
anticipated to occur in 1997. The Company estimates the total cost
of this project will be approximately $67 million. The difference
between the estimated cost of the project and the construction
facility has already been incurred by the Company in the form of
land, fees and other development costs. As of March 31, 1997
borrowings on the loan were approximately $24.9 million.
The Company is also planning the development of an enclosed
regional mall in Provo, Utah. The Provo project will also
represent a future long-term liquidity need for the Company. The
Company expects to fund this project through advances under its
Credit Facilities in combination with construction financing. The
availability of financing and the status of other projects will
influence the Company's decision to proceed with, and the pace of,
the proposed Provo project.
The Company is also contemplating the expansion and renovation
of several of its existing properties and additional development
projects and acquisitions as a means to expand its portfolio. The
Company does not expect to generate sufficient funds from
operations to meet such long-term needs and intends to finance
these costs primarily through advances under the Credit Facilities,
together with alternative funding sources.
The Company intends to incur additional borrowings in the
future in a manner consistent with its policy of maintaining a
ratio of debt-to-total market capitalization of less than 50%. The
Company's ratio of debt-to-total market capitalization was
approximately 18% at March 31, 1997.

BY-LAWS
[AS AMENDED THROUGH MARCH, 1997]
ARTICLE I.
STOCKHOLDERS
SECTION 1.01. ANNUAL MEETING. The Corporation shall hold an
annual meeting of its stockholders to elect directors and transact
any other business within its powers, either at 10:00 a.m. on the
fifth Wednesday after March 31st in each year if not a legal
holiday, or at such other time on such other day falling on or
before the 30th day thereafter as shall be set by the Board of
Directors. Except as the Charter or statute provides otherwise,
any business may be considered at an annual meeting without the
purpose of the meeting having been specified in the notice.
Failure to hold an annual meeting does not invalidate the
Corporation's existence or affect any otherwise valid corporate
acts. [AS AMENDED MARCH, 1997]
SECTION 1.02. SPECIAL MEETING. At any time in the interval
between annual meetings, a special meeting of the stockholders may
be called by the Chairman of the Board or the President or by a
majority of the Board of Directors by vote at a meeting or in
writing (addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation) with or
without a meeting. Special meetings of the stockholders shall be
called by the Secretary at the request of stockholders only on the
written request of stockholders entitled to cast at least a
majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting. A
request for a special meeting shall state the purpose of the
meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at it. The
Secretary shall inform the stockholders who make the request of the
reasonably estimated costs of preparing and mailing a notice of the
meeting and, on payment of these costs to the Corporation, notify
each stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting. [AS AMENDED
MARCH, 1997]
SECTION 1.03. PLACE OF MEETINGS. Meetings of stockholders
shall be held at such place in the United States as is set from
time to time by the Board of Directors.
SECTION 1.04. NOTICE OF MEETINGS; WAIVER OF NOTICE. Not less
than ten nor more than 90 days before each stockholders' meeting,
the Secretary shall give written notice of the meeting to each
stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting and each other
stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting. The notice shall
state the time and place of the meeting and, if the meeting is a
special meeting or notice of the purpose is required by statute,
the purpose of the meeting. Notice is given to a stockholder when
it is personally delivered to him or her, left at his or her
residence or usual place of business, or mailed to him or her at
his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, each person who is
entitled to notice waives notice if he or she before or after the
meeting signs a waiver of the notice which is filed with the
records of stockholders' meetings, or is present at the meeting in
person or by proxy. [AS AMENDED MARCH, 1997]
SECTION 1.05. QUORUM; VOTING. Unless statute or the Charter
provides otherwise, at a meeting of stockholders the presence in
person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of
all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting constitutes a
quorum, and a majority of all the votes cast at a meeting at which
a quorum is present is sufficient to approve any matter which
properly comes before the meeting, except that a plurality of all
the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is
sufficient to elect a director.
SECTION 1.06. ADJOURNMENTS. Whether or not a quorum is
present, a meeting of stockholders convened on the date for which
it was called may be adjourned from time to time without further
notice by a majority vote of the stockholders present in person or
by proxy to a date not more than 120 days after the original record
date. Any business which might have been transacted at the meeting
as originally notified may be deferred and transacted at any such
adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present.
SECTION 1.07. GENERAL RIGHT TO VOTE; PROXIES. Unless the
Charter provides for a greater or lesser number of votes per share
or limits or denies voting rights, each outstanding share of stock,
regardless of class, is entitled to one vote on each matter
submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. In all elections
for directors, each share of stock may be voted for as many
individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose
election the share is entitled to be voted. A stockholder may vote
the stock the stockholder owns of record either in person or by
proxy. A stockholder may sign a writing authorizing another person
to act as proxy. Signing may be accomplished by the stockholder or
the stockholder's authorized agent signing the writing or causing
the stockholder's signature to be affixed to the writing by any
reasonable means, including facsimile signature. A stockholder may
authorize another person to act as proxy by transmitting, or
authorizing the transmission of, a telegram, cablegram, datagram,
or other means of electronic transmission to the person
<PAGE> 18
authorized to act as proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy
support service organization, or other person authorized by the
person who will act as proxy to receive the transmission. Unless
a proxy provides otherwise, it is not valid more than 11 months
after its date. A proxy is revocable by a stockholder at any time
without condition or qualification unless the proxy states that it
is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest. A proxy
may be made irrevocable for so long as it is coupled with an
interest. The interest with which a proxy may be coupled includes
an interest in the stock to be voted under the proxy or another
general interest in the Corporation or its assets or liabilities.
[AS AMENDED MARCH, 1997]
SECTION 1.08. LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS. At each meeting of
stockholders, a full, true and complete list of all stockholders
entitled to vote at such meeting, showing the number and class of
shares held by each and certified by the transfer agent for such
class or by the Secretary, shall be furnished by the Secretary.
SECTION 1.09. CONDUCT OF BUSINESS AND VOTING. At all
meetings of stockholders, unless the voting is conducted by an
inspector, the proxies and ballots shall be received, and all
questions touching the qualification of voters and the validity of
proxies, the acceptance or rejection of votes and procedures for
the conduct of business not otherwise specified by these By-Laws,
the Charter or law, shall be decided or determined by the chairman
of the meeting. If demanded by stockholders, present in person or
by proxy, entitled to cast 10% in number of votes entitled to be
cast, or if ordered by the chairman, the vote upon any election or
question shall be taken by ballot and, upon like demand or order,
the voting shall be conducted by an inspector, in which event the
proxies and ballots shall be received, and all questions touching
the qualification of voters and the validity of proxies and the
acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided, by such
inspector. Unless so demanded or ordered, no vote need be by
ballot and voting need not be conducted by an inspector. The
stockholders at any meeting may choose an inspector to act at such
meeting, and in default of such election the chairman of the
meeting may appoint an inspector. No candidate for election as a
director at a meeting shall serve as an inspector thereat.
SECTION 1.10. INFORMAL ACTION BY STOCKHOLDERS. Any action
required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders may
be taken without a meeting if there is filed with the records of
stockholders meetings an unanimous written consent which sets forth
the action and is signed by each stockholder entitled to vote on
the matter and a written waiver of any right to dissent signed by
each stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting but not entitled
to vote at it.
SECTION 1.11. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS. For any stockholder proposal
to be presented in connection with an annual meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation, including any proposal relating to
the nomination of a director to be elected to the Board of
Directors of the Corporation, the stockholders must have given
timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the
Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be
delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of
the Corporation not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior
to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting;
provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual
meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60
days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be
timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 90th day prior to
such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the
later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day
following the day on which public announcement of the date of such
meeting is first made. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth
(a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for
election or reelection as a director all information relating to
such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of
proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in
each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (including such
person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as
a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (b) as to any
other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the
meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought
before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the
meeting and any material interest in such business of such
stockholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf
the proposal is made; and (c) as to the stockholder giving the
notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the
nomination or proposal is made, (i) the name and address of such
stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such
beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number of shares of stock
of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by
such stockholders and such beneficial owner. [AS AMENDED MARCH,
1997]
ARTICLE II.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
SECTION 2.01. FUNCTION OF DIRECTORS. The business and
affairs of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of
its Board of Directors. All powers of the Corporation may be
exercised by or under authority of the Board of Directors, except
as conferred on or reserved to the stockholders by statute or by
the Charter or By-Laws.
<PAGE> 19
SECTION 2.02. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. The Corporation shall
have at least three directors; provided that, if there is no stock
outstanding, the number of Directors may be less than three but not
less than one, and, if there is stock outstanding and so long as
there are less than three stockholders, the number of Directors may
be less than three but not less than the number of stockholders.
The Corporation shall have the number of directors provided in the
Charter until changed as herein provided. Except as the Charter
provides otherwise, a majority of the entire Board of Directors may
alter the number of directors set by the Charter to not exceeding
15 nor less than the minimum number then permitted herein, but the
action may not affect the tenure of office of any director.
SECTION 2.03. ELECTION AND TENURE OF DIRECTORS. Subject to
the rights of holders of Price Group Stock, at each annual meeting
the stockholders shall elect directors to hold office until the
next annual meeting and until their successors are elected and
qualify.
SECTION 2.04. REMOVAL OF DIRECTOR. Any director or the
entire Board of Directors may be removed only in accordance with
the provisions of the Charter.
SECTION 2.05. VACANCY ON BOARD. Subject to the rights of
holders of Price Group Stock, the stockholders may elect a
successor to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors which results
from the removal of a director. A director elected by the
stockholders to fill a vacancy which results from the removal of a
director serves for the balance of the term of the removed
director. Subject to the rights of holders of Price Group Stock,
a majority of the remaining directors, whether or not sufficient to
constitute a quorum, may fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors
which results from any cause except an increase in the number of
directors and a majority of the entire Board of Directors may fill
a vacancy which results from an increase in the number of
directors. A director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a
vacancy serves until the next annual meeting of stockholders and
until his or her successor is elected and qualifies. [AS AMENDED
MARCH, 1997]
SECTION 2.06. REGULAR MEETINGS. After each meeting of
stockholders at which directors shall have been elected, the Board
of Directors shall meet as soon as practicable for the purpose of
organization and the transaction of other business. In the event
that no other time and place are specified by resolution of the
Board, the President or the Chairman, with notice in accordance
with Section 2.08, the Board of Directors shall meet immediately
following the close of, and at the place of, such stockholders'
meeting. Any other regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall
be held on such date and at any place as may be designated from
time to time by the Board of Directors.
SECTION 2.07. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the
Board of Directors may be called at any time by the Chairman of the
Board or the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors
by vote at a meeting, or in writing with or without a meeting. A
special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held on such
date and at any place as may be designated from time to time by the
Board of Directors. In the absence of designation such meeting
shall be held at such place as may be designated in the call.
SECTION 2.08. NOTICE OF MEETING. Except as provided in
Section 2.06, the Secretary shall give notice to each director of
each regular and special meeting of the Board of Directors. The
notice shall state the time and place of the meeting. Notice is
given to a director when it is delivered personally to him or her,
left at his or her residence or usual place of business, or sent by
telegraph, facsimile transmission or telephone, at least 24 hours
before the time of the meeting or, in the alternative by mail to
his or her address as it shall appear on the records of the
Corporation, at least 72 hours before the time of the meeting.
Unless these By-Laws or a resolution of the Board of Directors
provides otherwise, the notice need not state the business to be
transacted at or the purposes of any regular or special meeting of
the Board of Directors. No notice of any meeting of the Board of
Directors need be given to any director who attends except where a
director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to
the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened, or to any director who, in writing executed and
filed with the records of the meeting either before or after the
holding thereof, waives such notice. Any meeting of the Board of
Directors, regular or special, may adjourn from time to time to
reconvene at the same or some other place, and no notice need be
given of any such adjourned meeting other than by announcement.
[AS AMENDED MARCH, 1997]
SECTION 2.09. QUORUM; ACTION BY DIRECTORS. A majority of the
entire Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, the directors
present by majority vote and without notice other than by
announcement may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a
quorum shall attend. At any such adjourned meeting at which a
quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might
have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. Unless
statute or the Charter or By-Laws requires a greater proportion,
the action of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at
which a quorum is present is action of the Board of Directors.
<PAGE> 20
Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the
Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, if an unanimous
written consent which sets forth the action is signed by each
member of the Board and filed with the minutes of proceedings of
the Board. [AS AMENDED MARCH, 1997]
SECTION 2.10. MEETING BY CONFERENCE TELEPHONE. Members of
the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting by means of a
conference telephone or similar communications equipment if all
persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the
same time. Participation in a meeting by these means constitutes
presence in person at a meeting.
SECTION 2.11. COMPENSATION. By resolution of the Board of
Directors a fixed sum and expenses, if any, for attendance at each
regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors or of
committees thereof, and other compensation for their services as
such or on committees of the Board of Directors, may be paid to
directors. Directors who are full-time employees of the
Corporation need not be paid for attendance at meetings of the
board or committees thereof for which fees are paid to other
directors. A director who serves the Corporation in any other
capacity also may receive compensation for such other services,
pursuant to a resolution of the directors.
SECTION 2.12. ADVISORY DIRECTORS. The Board of Directors may
by resolution appoint advisory directors to the Board, who may also
serve as directors emeriti, and shall have such authority and
receive such compensation and reimbursement as the Board of
Directors shall provide. Advisory directors or directors emeriti
shall not have the authority to participate by vote in the
transaction of business.
ARTICLE III.
COMMITTEES
SECTION 3.01. COMMITTEES. The Board of Directors may appoint
from among its members an Executive Committee, an Audit Committee,
an Executive Compensation Committee and other committees composed
of one or more directors and delegate to these committees any of
the powers of the Board of Directors, except the power to authorize
dividends on stock, elect directors, issue stock other than as
provided in the next sentence, recommend to the stockholders any
action which requires stockholder approval, amend these By-Laws, or
approve any merger or share exchange which does not require
stockholder approval. The entire Audit Committee shall be
directors who are independent of management. The entire Executive
Compensation Committee shall be directors who are "disinterested
persons" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If the Board of Directors has
given general authorization for the issuance of stock providing for
or establishing a method or procedure for determining the maximum
number of shares to be issued, a committee of the Board, in
accordance with that general authorization or any stock option or
other plan or program adopted by the Board of Directors, may
authorize or fix the terms of stock subject to classification or
reclassification and the terms on which any stock may be issued,
including all terms and conditions required or permitted to be
established or authorized by the Board of Directors. [AS AMENDED
MARCH, 1997]
SECTION 3.02. COMMITTEE PROCEDURE. Each committee may fix
rules of procedure for its business. A majority of the members of
a committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business and the act of a majority of those present at a meeting at
which a quorum is present shall be the act of the committee. The
members of a committee present at any meeting, whether or not they
constitute a quorum, may appoint a director to act in the place of
an absent member. Any action required or permitted to be taken at
a meeting of a committee may be taken without a meeting, if an
unanimous written consent which sets forth the action is signed by
each member of the committee and filed with the minutes of the
committee. The members of a committee may conduct any meeting
thereof by conference telephone in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2.10.
SECTION 3.03. EMERGENCY. In the event of a state of disaster
of sufficient severity to prevent the conduct and management of the
affairs and business of the Corporation by its directors and
officers as contemplated by the Charter and these By-Laws, any two
or more available members of the then incumbent Executive Committee
shall constitute a quorum of that Committee for the full conduct
and management of the affairs and business of the Corporation in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01. In the event of
the unavailability, at such time, of a minimum of two members of
the then incumbent Executive Committee, the available directors
shall elect an Executive Committee consisting of any two members of
the Board of Directors, whether or not they be officers of the
Corporation, which two members shall constitute the Executive
Committee for the full conduct and management of the affairs of the
Corporation in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Section. This Section shall be subject to implementation by
resolution of the Board of Directors passed from time to time for
that purpose, and any provisions of these By-Laws (other than this
Section) and any resolutions which
<PAGE> 21
are contrary to the provisions of this Section or to the provisions
of any such implementary resolutions shall be suspended until it
shall be determined by any interim Executive Committee acting under
this Section that it shall be to the advantage of the Corporation
to resume the conduct and management of its affairs and business
under all the other provisions of these By-Laws. [AS AMENDED
MARCH, 1997]

The Board of Directors may from time to time authorize any
committee or officer to appoint assistant and subordinate officers.

to hold their offices, respectively, during the pleasure of the
Board. The Board of Directors (or, as to any assistant or
subordinate officer, any committee or officer authorized by the
Board) may remove an officer at any time. The removal of an

Board of Directors (or, as to any assistant or subordinate officer,
any committee or officer authorized by the Board) may fill a
vacancy which occurs in any office for the unexpired portion of the
term. [AS AMENDED MARCH, 1997]
SECTION 4.09. COMPENSATION. The Board of Directors shall
have power to fix the salaries and other compensation and

The Board of Directors may authorize any committee or officer, upon
whom the power of appointing assistant and subordinate officers may
have been conferred, to fix the salaries, compensation and
remuneration of such assistant and subordinate officers. [AS

SECTION 6.05. CERTIFICATION OF BENEFICIAL OWNERS. The Board
of Directors may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a

which the Board considers necessary or desirable. On receipt of a

stockholder who makes the certification.

In their discretion, the Board of Directors or such officer or
officers may require the owner of the certificate to give bond,
with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Corporation against any
loss or claim arising as a result of the issuance of a new
certificate. In their discretion, the Board of Directors or such
officer or officers may refuse to issue such new certificate save
upon the order of some court having jurisdiction in the premises.

INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 8.01. PROCEDURE. Any indemnification, or payment of
expenses in advance of the final disposition of any proceeding,
shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days, upon the
written request of the director or officer entitled to seek
indemnification (the "Indemnified Party"). The right to
indemnification and advances hereunder shall be enforceable by the
Indemnified Party in any court of competent jurisdiction, if (i)
the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or (ii)
no disposition thereof is made within 60 days. The Indemnified
Party's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully
establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in
part, in any such action shall also be reimbursed by the
Corporation. It shall be a defense to any action for advance for
expenses that (a) a determination has been made that the facts then
known to those making the determination would preclude
indemnification or (b) the Corporation has not received both (i) an
undertaking as required by law to repay such advances in the event
it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has
not been met and (ii) a written affirmation by the Indemnified
Party of such Indemnified Party's good faith belief that the
standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the
Corporation has been met. [AS AMENDED MARCH, 1997]
SECTION 8.02. EXCLUSIVITY, ETC. The indemnification and
advance of expenses provided by the Charter and these By-Laws shall
not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person
seeking indemnification or advance of expenses may be entitled
under any law (common or statutory), or any agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or other provision that is
consistent with law, both as to action in his or her official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office
or while employed by or acting as agent for the Corporation, shall
continue in respect of all events occurring while a person was a
director or officer after such person has ceased to be a director
or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs,
executors and administrators of such person. The Corporation shall
not be liable for any payment under this By-Law in connection with
a claim made by a director or officer to the extent such director
or officer has otherwise actually received payment under insurance
policy, agreement, vote or otherwise, of the amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder. All rights to indemnification and advance
of expenses under the Charter of the Corporation and hereunder
shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each
director or officer of the Corporation who serves or served in such
capacity at any time while this By-Law is in effect. Nothing
herein shall prevent the amendment of this By-Law, provided that no
such amendment shall diminish the rights of any person hereunder
with respect to events occurring or claims made before its adoption
or as to claims made after its adoption in respect of events
occurring before its adoption. Any repeal or modification of this
By-Law shall not in any way diminish any rights to indemnification
or
<PAGE> 25
advance of expenses of such director or officer or the obligations
of the Corporation arising hereunder with respect to events
occurring, or claims made, while this By-Law or any provision
hereof is in force. [AS AMENDED MARCH, 1997]
SECTION 8.03. SEVERABILITY; DEFINITIONS. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this Article VIII shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
hereof. The phrase "this By-Law" in this Article VIII means this
Article VIII in its entirety.
