             8.75% SERIES C CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK


     JP  Realty,  Inc.,  a Maryland corporation, having its principal office in
Baltimore  City,  Maryland  (hereinafter   called  the  "Corporation"),  hereby
certifies to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland that:

     FIRST:  Pursuant to authority expressly  vested  in the Board of Directors
of  the  Corporation  by Article SIXTH of the Charter of the  Corporation,  the
Board of Directors has duly divided and classified 320,000 shares of the Common
Stock, par value $.0001  per  share of the Corporation into a series designated
as "8.75% Series C Cumulative Preferred  Stock,  par value $.0001 per share" of
the Corporation and has provided for the issuance of such series.

     SECOND:  The reclassification increases the number of shares classified as
8.75% Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock from no  shares  immediately prior to
the reclassification to 320,000 shares immediately after the  reclassification.
The reclassification decreases the number of shares classified  as Common Stock
from   117,430,000   shares  immediately  prior  to  the  reclassification   to
117,110,000 shares immediately after the reclassification.

     THIRD:  Subject in  all  cases  to  the ownership limitation provisions of
Article NINTH of the Charter of the Corporation, the following is a description
of the terms of the 8.75 % Series C Cumulative  Preferred  Stock  as set by the
Board  of Directors, including preferences, conversion or other rights,  voting
powers,  restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, or terms or
conditions of redemption:

     Section 1. DESIGNATION   AND   NUMBER.    A  series  of  Preferred  Stock,
designated  the  "8.75% Series C Cumulative Redeemable  Preferred  Stock"  (the
"SERIES C PREFERRED  STOCK")  is  hereby  established.  The number of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock shall be 320,000.

     Section 2. RANK.   The Series C Preferred  Stock  will,  with  respect  to
distributions and rights  upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up
or dissolution of the Corporation,  or  both,  rank  senior  to  all classes or
series of Common Stock (as defined in the Charter) and to all classes or series
of equity securities of the Corporation now or hereafter authorized,  issued or
outstanding,  other  than  any  class  or  series  of  equity securities of the
Corporation expressly designated as ranking on a parity  with  or senior to the
Series  C  Preferred  Stock  as  to distributions and rights upon voluntary  or
involuntary liquidation, winding-up  or  dissolution  of  the Corporation.  For
purposes  of  these Articles Supplementary, the term "PARITY  PREFERRED  STOCK"
shall be used to  refer  to  the 8.95% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Stock, par value $.0001 per share,  the  8.75%  Series  B Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share and any class  or  series of equity
securities   of  the  Corporation  now  or  hereafter  authorized,  issued   or
outstanding expressly  designated  by  the Corporation to rank on a parity with
Series  C  Preferred  Stock  with  respect to  distributions  and  rights  upon
voluntary  or  involuntary  liquidation,   winding-up  or  dissolution  of  the
Corporation or both, as the context may require.   The term "equity securities"
does  not  include  debt securities, which will rank senior  to  the  Series  C
Preferred Stock prior to conversion.

     Section 3. DISTRIBUTIONS.   (a) PAYMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS.  For purposes of
these Articles Supplementary, the  following  terms shall have the meanings set
forth herein: (i) "LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE" shall  mean,  with  respect  to  the
Series  C  Preferred  Stock, $25.00 per share of Series C Preferred Stock, plus
the  amount  of  any accumulated  and  unpaid  Series  C  Priority  Return  (as
hereinafter defined)  with  respect  to such share, whether or not declared, to
the date of payment and (ii) "Series C  PRIORITY  RETURN"  shall mean an amount

<PAGE> 1

equal to 8.75% per annum of the Liquidation Preference per share  of  Series  C
Preferred  Stock,  commencing on the date of issuance of such share of Series C
Preferred Stock, determined  on  the  basis  of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months  (or actual days for any month which is  shorter  than  a  full  monthly
period),  cumulative  to  the  extent not distributed on any Series C Preferred
Stock Distribution Payment Date.   Subject  to  the rights of holders of Parity
Preferred  Stock  as  to  the payment of distributions,  holders  of  Series  C
Preferred Stock shall be entitled  to  receive, when, as and if declared by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation, out  of  funds legally available for the
payment  of  distributions, the Series C Priority Return.   Such  distributions
shall be cumulative,  shall  accrue  from  the original date of issuance of the
Series  C Preferred Stock and will be payable  (A)  quarterly  (such  quarterly
periods for  purposes  of  payment  and  accrual  will be the quarterly periods
ending on the last day of each calendar quarter) in  arrears, on March 31, June
30, September 30 and December 31 of each year commencing  on June 30, 2000 and,
(B)  in  the event of a redemption, on the redemption date (each  a  "SERIES  C
PREFERRED  STOCK  DISTRIBUTION PAYMENT DATE").  If any Series C Preferred Stock
Distribution Payment  Date  is  not  a  Business  Day (as defined herein), then
payment  of  the distribution to be made on such date  shall  be  made  on  the
Business Day immediately  preceding  such Series C Preferred Stock Distribution
Payment Date in each case with the same  force  and  effect  as if made on such
date.   Distributions  on  the  Series  C Preferred Stock will be made  to  the
holders of record of the Series C Preferred  Stock on the relevant record dates
to be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation,  which  record  dates
shall  in  no  event  exceed  15  Business  Days Prior to the relevant Series C
Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date (each a "DISTRIBUTION RECORD DATE").

     The term "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean each  day,  other  than a Saturday or a
Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions in  New York, New York
are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

     (b)   PROHIBITION  ON  DISTRIBUTIONS.   No  distributions  on   Series   C
Preferred  Stock  shall  be  authorized  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the
Corporation  or  paid  or  set apart for payment by the Corporation at any such
time as the terms and provisions  of any agreement of the Corporation including
any agreement relating to indebtedness,  prohibits  such authorization, payment
or  setting apart for payment or provides that such authorization,  payment  or
setting  apart  for  payment  would  constitute  a  breach thereof or a default
thereunder,  or  to  the extent that such authorization  or  payment  shall  be
restricted or prohibited by law.

     (c)   DISTRIBUTIONS  CUMULATIVE.   Distributions on the Series C Preferred
Stock will accrue whether or not the terms  and  provisions of any agreement of
the Corporation, including any agreement relating  to  its indebtedness, at any
time  prohibit  the  current  payment  of  distributions, whether  or  not  the
Corporation has earnings, whether or not there  are funds legally available for
the payment of such distributions and whether or  not  such  distributions  are
authorized  or  declared.   Accrued  but  unpaid  distributions on the Series C
Preferred Stock will accumulate as of the Series C Preferred Stock Distribution
Payment Date on which they first become payable.  Distributions  on  account of
arrears for any past distribution periods may be declared and paid at any time,
without  reference  to  a regular Series C Preferred Stock Distribution Payment
Date to holders of record  of  the  Series C Preferred Stock on the record date
fixed by the Board of Directors which  date  shall not be more than 15 Business
Days prior to the payment date.  Accumulated and  unpaid distributions will not
bear interest.

     (d)   PRIORITY AS TO DISTRIBUTIONS.  (i) So long as any Series C Preferred
Stock  is  outstanding,  no  distribution of cash or other  property  shall  be
authorized, declared, paid or  set  apart for payment on or with respect to any
class or series of Common Stock or any  class  or  series of other stock of the
Corporation ranking junior as to the payment of distributions  or  rights  upon
voluntary   or  involuntary  dissolution,  liquidation  or  winding-up  of  the
Partnership to  the Series C Preferred Stock (such Common Stock or other junior
stock, collectively,  "JUNIOR  STOCK"), nor shall any cash or other property be
set aside for or applied to the  purchase,  redemption or other acquisition for
consideration of any Series C Preferred Stock,  any  Parity  Preferred Stock or
any  Junior Stock, unless, in each case, all distributions accumulated  on  all
Series  C  Preferred  Stock  and  all  classes and series of outstanding Parity
Preferred  Stock have been paid in full.   The  foregoing  sentence  shall  not

<PAGE> 2

prohibit (i)  distributions payable solely in Junior Stock, (ii) the conversion
of Series C Preferred  Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Preferred Stock into stock
of the Corporation ranking  junior  to  the  Series  C  Preferred  Stock  as to
distributions, and (iii) purchase by the Corporation of such Series C Preferred
Stock, Parity Preferred Stock or Junior Stock pursuant to Article NINTH of  the
Charter  to  the extent required to preserve the Corporation's status as a real
estate investment trust.

           (ii) So  long  as distributions have not been paid in full (or a sum
sufficient for such full payment  is  not  irrevocably  deposited  in trust for
payment)  upon  the Series C Preferred Stock, all distributions authorized  and
declared  on the Series  C  Preferred  Stock  and  all  classes  or  series  of
outstanding  Parity  Preferred  Stock  with  respect  to distributions shall be
authorized  and  declared  so that the amount of distributions  authorized  and
declared per share of Series C Preferred Stock and such other classes or series
of Parity Preferred Stock shall  in all cases bear to each other the same ratio
that accrued distributions per share  on  the Series C Preferred Stock and such
other classes or series of Parity Preferred  Stock (which shall not include any
accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions  for prior distribution periods
if  such  class  or series of Parity Preferred Stock  do  not  have  cumulative
distribution rights) bear to each other.

     (e)   If, for  any  taxable  year,  the Corporation elects to designate as
"capital gain distributions" (as defined in Section 857 of the Internal Revenue
Code  of  1986,  as amended, or any successor  revenue  code  or  section  (the
"CODE")) any portion  (the  "CAPITAL  GAINS AMOUNT") of the total distributions
(as determined for federal income tax purposes  paid  or made available for the
year  to holders of all classes of capital stock (the "TOTAL  DISTRIBUTIONS")),
then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders
of Series  C  Preferred  Stock  shall  be in the same proportion that the Total
Distributions paid or made available to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock
for the year bears to the Total Distributions.

     (f)   NO FURTHER RIGHTS.  Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be
entitled  to any distributions, whether payable  in  cash,  other  property  or
otherwise, in excess of the full cumulative distributions described herein.

     Section 4. LIQUIDATION    PREFERENCE.    (a)    PAYMENT   OF   LIQUIDATING
DISTRIBUTIONS.  Subject to the rights of holders of Parity Preferred Stock with
respect to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the Corporation and  subject  to equity securities ranking senior
to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect  to  rights  upon any voluntary or
involuntary  liquidation,  dissolution  or  winding-up of the Corporation,  the
holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be  entitled  to  receive  out of the
assets  of  the  Corporation legally available for distribution or the proceeds
thereof, after payment  or  provision  for  debts  and other liabilities of the
Corporation, but before any payment or distributions  of  the  assets  shall be
made  to holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of shares of  the
Corporation that ranks junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to rights upon
liquidation,  dissolution  or winding-up of the Corporation, an amount equal to
the Liquidation Preference per share of Series C Preferred Stock.  If upon such
voluntary or involuntary liquidation,  dissolution  or  winding-up,  there  are
insufficient  assets to permit full payment of liquidating distributions to the
holders of Series C Preferred Stock and any Parity Preferred Stock as to rights
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, all payments of
liquidating distributions  on  the  Series  C  Preferred  Stock and such Parity
Preferred  Stock shall be made so that the payments on the Series  C  Preferred
Stock and such Parity Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the
same ratio that  the respective rights of the Series C Preferred Stock and such
other Parity Preferred  Stock  (which  shall  not  include  any accumulation in
respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods  if  such Parity
Preferred Stock does not have cumulative distribution rights) upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation bear to each other.

     (b)   NOTICE.   Written  notice  of  any  such  voluntary  or  involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, stating the  payment
date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in
such  circumstances  shall  be  payable,  shall be given by (i) fax and (ii) by

<PAGE> 3

first class mail, postage prepaid, not less  than  30 and not more than 60 days
prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of the Series C
Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such  holders  as the same shall
appear on the share transfer records of the Corporation.

     (c)   NO  FURTHER  RIGHTS.   After  payment  of  the  full amount  of  the
liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders  of  Series C
Preferred  Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets  of
the Corporation.

     (d)   CONSOLIDATION,  MERGER OR CERTAIN OTHER TRANSACTIONS.  The voluntary
sale, conveyance, lease, exchange  or  transfer  (for  cash,  shares  of stock,
securities  or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property
or assets of  the  Corporation  to,  or  the  consolidation  or merger or other
business combination of the Corporation with or into, any corporation, trust or
other  entity (or of any corporation, trust or other entity with  or  into  the
Corporation)  or a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to constitute a
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation.

     Section 5. OPTIONAL  REDEMPTION.   (a)  RIGHT OF OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.  The
Series C Preferred Stock may not be redeemed prior to May 1, 2005.  On or after
such  date,  the  Corporation  shall have the right  to  redeem  the  Series  C
Preferred Stock, in whole (but not in part), at any time, upon not less than 30
nor more than 60 days' written notice,  at a redemption price, payable in cash,
equal to the Liquidation Preference
(the "SERIES C REDEMPTION PRICE").

     (b)   LIMITATION ON REDEMPTION.  The  redemption  price  of  the  Series C
Preferred  Stock (other than the portion thereof consisting of accumulated  but
unpaid distributions) will be payable solely out of the sale proceeds of equity
securities of the Corporation and from no other source.

     (c)   PROCEDURES  FOR  REDEMPTION.   (i)  Notice  of  redemption  will  be
(i) faxed, and (ii) mailed by the Corporation, postage prepaid not less than 30
nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective
holders  of  record  of  the  Series  C Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their
respective addresses as they appear on the transfer records of the Corporation.
No failure to give or defect in such notice  shall  affect  the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any Series C Preferred Stock except as to the
holder  to  whom  such notice was defective or not given.  In addition  to  any
information required  by  law  or  by the applicable rules of any exchange upon
which the Series C Preferred Stock may  be  listed or admitted to trading, each
such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date,  (ii)  the  redemption price,
(iii) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed, (iv) the
place  or  places  where  such  shares  of Series C Preferred Stock are  to  be
surrendered for payment of the redemption  price, (v) that distributions on the
Series  C  Preferred Stock to be redeemed will  cease  to  accumulate  on  such
redemption date  and  (vi)  that  payment  of  the  redemption  price  and  any
accumulated  and  unpaid  distributions  will  be  made  upon  presentation and
surrender of such Series C Preferred Stock.  If fewer than all of the shares of
Series  C  Preferred  Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed,  the  notice
mailed to such holder shall  also  specify  the  number  of  shares of Series C
Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed.

           (ii) If the Corporation gives a notice of redemption  in  respect of
Series  C  Preferred  Stock  (which  notice will be irrevocable) then, by 12:00
noon, New York City time, on the redemption  date, the Corporation will deposit
irrevocably  in trust for the benefit of the Series  C  Preferred  Stock  being
redeemed funds  sufficient to pay the applicable Series C Redemption Price, and
will  give  irrevocable  instructions  and  authority  to  pay  such  Series  C
Redemption Price  to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock upon surrender
of the certificate  evidencing  the Series C Preferred Stock by such holders at
the place designated in the notice  of  redemption.   On  and after the date of
redemption,  distributions will cease to accumulate on the Series  C  Preferred
Stock called for  redemption,  unless  the  Corporation defaults in the payment
thereof.  If any date fixed for redemption of Series C Preferred Stock is not a
Business Day, then payment of the redemption price payable on such date will be
made  on  the  next  succeeding day that is a Business  Day  (and  without  any

<PAGE> 4

interest or other payment  in  respect  of any such delay) except that, if such
Business Day falls in the next calendar year,  such payment will be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect
as  if made on such date fixed for redemption.  If  payment  of  the  Series  C
Redemption  Price  or any accumulated or unpaid distributions in respect of the
Series C Preferred Stock  is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the
Corporation, distributions  on  such  Series C Preferred Stock will continue to
accumulate from the original redemption  date  to the date of payment, in which
case the actual payment date will be considered  the  date fixed for redemption
for purposes of calculating the applicable Series C Redemption Price.

     (d)   STATUS  OF REDEEMED OR REPURCHASED STOCK.  Any  Series  C  Preferred
Stock that shall at  any  time  have  been redeemed or repurchased shall, after
such redemption, have the status of authorized  but unissued Series C Preferred
Stock, until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular class
or series by the Board of Directors.

     Section 6. VOTING  RIGHTS.   (a)   GENERAL.   Holders   of  the  Series  C
Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as set forth below.

     (b)   RIGHT TO ELECT DIRECTORS.  (i) If at any time distributions shall be
in  arrears  with  respect  to  six  (6)  prior quarterly distribution  periods
(including quarterly periods on the Series  C  Preferred  Units  prior  to  the
exchange  into Series C Preferred Stock), whether or not consecutive, and shall
not have been paid in full
(a "PREFERRED  DISTRIBUTION  DEFAULT"), the authorized number of members of the
Board of Directors shall automatically  be  increased by two and the holders of
record of such Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class with
the holders of each class or series of Parity  Preferred  Stock upon which like
voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, will be entitled to fill
the vacancies so created by electing two additional directors  to  serve on the
Corporation's Board of Directors (the "PREFERRED STOCK DIRECTORS") at a special
meeting  called in accordance with Section 6(b)(ii) at the next annual  meeting
of stockholders,  and  at  each  subsequent  annual  meeting of stockholders or
special meeting held in place thereof, until all such  distributions in arrears
and distributions for the current quarterly period on the  Series  C  Preferred
Stock and each such class or series of Parity Preferred Stock have been paid in
full.

           (ii) At any time when such voting rights shall have vested, a proper
officer  of  the  Corporation may, and, upon written request (addressed to  the
Secretary at the principal  office  of the Corporation) of holders of record of
at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, shall, call
or cause to be called a special meeting  of  the  holders of Series C Preferred
Stock  and  all the series of Parity Preferred Stock  upon  which  like  voting
rights have been  conferred  and  are  exercisable  (collectively,  the "PARITY
SECURITIES") by notice in accordance with the By-laws of the Corporation  for a
special  meeting  of  the  Stockholders or as required by law to such holders a
notice of such special meeting  to  be held not less than ten and not more than
45 days after the date such notice is  given.   The record date for determining
holders of the Parity Securities entitled to notice  of  and  to  vote  at such
special  meeting  will  be  the  close  of  business  on the third Business Day
preceding the day on which such notice is mailed.  At any such special meeting,
all of the holders of the Parity Securities, by plurality vote, voting together
as  a  single  class  without regard to series will be entitled  to  elect  two
directors on the basis  of  one  vote  per  $25.00 of liquidation preference to
which such Parity Securities are entitled by  their terms (excluding amounts in
respect of accumulated and unpaid dividends) and  not cumulatively.  The holder
or holders of one-third of the Parity Securities then  outstanding,  present in
person  or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the election of the Preferred
Stock Directors except as otherwise provided by law.  Notice of all meetings at
which holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote will be
given to  such  holders  at  their  addresses  as  they  appear in the transfer
records.   At  any  such  meeting or adjournment thereof in the  absence  of  a
quorum, subject to the provisions  of  any  applicable  law,  a majority of the
holders of the Parity Securities present in person or by proxy  shall  have the
power to adjourn the meeting for the election of the Preferred Stock Directors,
without  notice  other  than an announcement at the meeting, until a quorum  is
present.  If a Preferred  Distribution Default shall terminate after the notice

<PAGE> 5

of a special meeting has been  given  but  before such special meeting has been
held,  the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable  after  such  termination,
mail or  cause to be mailed notice of such termination to holders of the Series
C Preferred  Stock  that  would  have  been  entitled  to  vote at such special
meeting.

           (iii) If and when all accumulated distributions and the distribution
for the current distribution period on the Series C Preferred  Stock shall have
been paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is irrevocably deposited
in  trust  for  payment, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock  shall  be
divested of the voting  rights  set  forth  in  SECTION 6(B) herein (subject to
revesting in the event of each and every Preferred  Distribution  Default) and,
if  all  distributions  in  arrears  and  the  distributions  for  the  current
distribution period have been paid in full or set aside for payment in full  on
all  other  classes  or series of Parity Preferred Stock upon which like voting
rights have been conferred  and  are  exercisable,  the term and office of each
Preferred  Stock  Director  so elected shall terminate.   Any  Preferred  Stock
Director may be removed at any  time  with or without cause by the vote of, and
shall not be removed otherwise than by  the vote of, the holders of record of a
majority of the outstanding Series C Preferred  Stock when they have the voting
rights set forth in SECTION 6(B) (voting separately  as a single class with all
other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights
have been conferred and are exercisable).  So long as  a Preferred Distribution
Default shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Stock Director
may be filled by written consent of the Preferred Stock  Director  remaining in
office, or if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record  of  a
majority  of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock when they have the voting
rights set  forth in SECTION 6(B) (voting separately as a single class with all
other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights
have been conferred  and are exercisable).  The Preferred Stock Directors shall
each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter.

     (c)   CERTAIN VOTING  RIGHTS.   So long as any Series C Preferred Stock or
Series C Preferred Units exchangeable  into  Series  C  Preferred  Stock remain
outstanding,  the  Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote  of  the
holders of at least  two-thirds  of the Series C Preferred Stock outstanding at
the time
(i) designate or create, or increase  the  authorized  or issued amount of, any
class or series of shares ranking prior to the Series C  Preferred  Stock  with
respect to payment of distributions or rights upon liquidation, dissolution  or
winding-up or reclassify any authorized shares of the Corporation into any such
shares,  or  create, authorize or issue any obligations or security convertible
into or evidencing  the  right  to  purchase any such shares, (ii) designate or
create, or increase the authorized or  issued  amount  of, any Parity Preferred
Stock  or  reclassify any authorized shares of the Corporation  into  any  such
shares, or create,  authorize  or issue any obligations or security convertible
into or evidencing the right to  purchase  any  such  shares,  but  only to the
extent   such  Parity  Preferred  Stock  is  issued  to  an  affiliate  of  the
Corporation,  or  (iii)  either (A) consolidate, merge into or with, or convey,
transfer or lease its assets  substantially  as an entirety, to any corporation
or  other  entity,  or  (B)  amend,  alter  or repeal  the  provisions  of  the
Corporation's  Charter  (including these Articles  Supplementary)  or  By-laws,
whether  by  merger, consolidation  or  otherwise,  in  each  case  that  would
materially and  adversely  affect  the  powers,  special  rights,  preferences,
privileges  or  voting  power  of  the  Series C Preferred Stock or the holders
thereof; provided, however, that with respect  to  the  occurrence of a merger,
consolidation  or  a  sale or lease of all of the Corporation's  assets  as  an
entirety, so long as (a) the Corporation is the surviving entity and the Series
C Preferred Stock remains  outstanding  with  the  terms  thereof unchanged, or
(b)  the  resulting, surviving or transferee entity is a corporation  organized
under the laws  of  any  state and substitutes the Series C Preferred Stock for
other preferred stock having  substantially  the  same terms and same rights as
the Series C Preferred Stock, including with respect  to  distributions, voting
rights  and  rights  upon  liquidation,  dissolution  or winding-up,  then  the
occurrence  of any such event shall not be deemed to materially  and  adversely
affect such rights,  privileges or voting powers of the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock; and provided,  further,  that  any  increase  in the amount of
authorized  Preferred Stock or the creation or issuance of any other  class  or
series of Preferred Stock, or any increase in an amount of authorized shares of
each class or  series,  in  each case ranking either (a) junior to the Series C
Preferred Stock with respect  to  payment of distributions and the distribution
of assets upon liquidation, dissolution  or winding-up, or (b) on a parity with

<PAGE> 6

the Series C Preferred Stock with respect  to  payment  of distributions or the
distribution  of  assets  upon  liquidation, dissolution or winding-up  to  the
extent such Preferred Stock is not  issued  to an affiliate of the Corporation,
shall  not  be  deemed  to  materially  and  adversely   affect   such  rights,
preferences, privileges or voting powers.

     Section 7. NO  CONVERSION  RIGHTS.  The holders of the Series C  Preferred
Stock shall not have any rights to convert such shares into shares of any other
class or series of stock or into  any  other securities of, or interest in, the
Corporation.

     Section 8. NO SINKING FUND.  No sinking  fund shall be established for the
retirement or redemption of Series C Preferred Stock.

     Section 9. NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.  No holder  of  the  Series  C  Preferred
Stock  of the Corporation shall, as such holder, have any preemptive rights  to
purchase  or subscribe for additional shares of stock of the Corporation or any
other security of the Corporation which it may issue or sell.

     FOURTH:  These  Articles  Supplementary have been approved by the Board of
Directors in the manner and by the vote required by law.

     FIFTH: The terms of the Series  C  Preferred  Stock  set  forth in Article
THIRD  hereof  (with  any appropriate changes in paragraph designations)  shall
