ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

Franklin        Resources,       Inc.       and        its        majority-owned
subsidiaries    (the    "Company")    derives    its    revenue     from     its
principal     line     of    business    which    is    providing     investment
management,     administration     and     related     services      to      the
Franklin      Templeton      funds,     managed     accounts      and      other
investment     products.     The    Company    has    a     diversified     base
of    assets    under    management   and   a   full   range    of    investment
management     products    and    services    to    meet    the     needs     of
most        individuals       and       institutions.        The       Company's
revenues      are      derived     largely     from     the      amount      and
composition of assets under management.

Since     September     30,     1994,    volatility     has     continued     in
global    bond    and    stock    markets.     The    U.S.    Federal    Reserve
Board    continued    to    raise    short-term    interest    rates    in    an
attempt     to     control     perceived     inflationary     pressures.      In
addition,    a    major   devaluation   of   the   Mexican    peso    and    the
Orange     County,     California     declaration     of     bankruptcy     took
place     during     the     period.     These     events     contributed     to
investor     caution    and    continued    the    slowing     of     investment
in     mutual     funds.      Assets    under    the    Company's     management
declined      during     the     quarter     from     $118.2     billion      at
September    30,    1994   to   $114.7   billion   at    December    31,    1994
as     a    result    of    market    depreciation.     Since    September    30
the     Company    has    experienced    overall    net    sales    while    the
U.S.     mutual     fund    industry    generally    has     experienced     net
redemptions      of     assets     under     management.       Industry      and
Company     expectations     are     for     long-term     growth.      However,
the     current    capital    market    and    industry    environment     could
have     a     negative     impact    on    the     Company's     results     of
operations in the near-term.

I.  Material Changes in Results of Operations (Dollars in
    millions)

Net    income    for    the    quarter   ended    December    31,    1994    was
$63.3    million    an    increase    of   $4.3    million    or    7.3%    from
the     same     quarter    in    1993.     This    increase    was    primarily
attributable     to    a    $474    million    increase    in     the     assets
under the Company's management for the same period.

Material Changes in Results of Operations (continued)

As    shown    in    the    above    table,   the    composition    of    assets
under     management     has     changed    since     December     31,     1993,
continuing    a    trend    of    the   past   two    years.     Fixed    income
funds     represent     49%    of    assets    under    management     as     of
December    31,    1994   down   from   56%   a   year    ago.     Equity    and
income     funds     and     institutional    assets    represent     51%     of
assets    under    management    as   of   December    31,    1994    up    from
44% a year ago.

The     substantial     increase    in    U.S.     interest     rates     during
1994     resulted    in    a    combination    of    both    net     redemptions
and     market     depreciation    in    various     fixed     income     funds.
Assets     under     management     of    the     Company's     fixed     income
funds       declined      12%      from      levels      a       year       ago.
Notwithstanding     this     trend,     assets     under      management      in
the     Company's    money    funds    increased    51%    from     levels     a
year ago.

Assets     under     management     in     the     Company's     equity      and
income    funds    as    of    December   31,   1994    increased    10%    from
December      31,      1993.       Global/international      equity       funds'
assets       under      management      represented      most      of       this
increase, up 17% from levels a year ago.

Institutional     assets     under     management     increased     42%     from
levels      as      of      December     31,      1993.       This      increase
principally    resulted    from    an    increase    in    the     number     of
clients     as     well    as    additional    commitments     from     existing
clients.      The     Company     is     strongly     committed      to      the
institutional     account     area    and    intends     to     continue     the
expansion of the services it provides in this area.

Net income                $63.3   $59.0   $4.3        7%

Increases   in  operating  income  and  net  income   are
primarily  attributable  to  the  increase  in  operating
revenues earned from investment management fees.   Growth
in  operating  income will  continue to be  dependent  on
general  economic growth, the strength of capital markets
and  the  Company's ability to meet market  demands  with
competitive  products and services.   Operating  expenses
will  likely  continue  to increase  with  the  Company's
continued expansion, the increase in competition and  the
Company's  continued commitment to improve  its  products
and  services.  Operating margin decreased for the  three
month  period  due primarily to the general  slowdown  in
sales and to the increase in operating expenses resulting
from   the  Company's  expansion  of  its  products   and
services.

   Total operating revenues  $215.6  $198.6   $17.0      9%

Investment  management fees increased as a result  of  an
increase  in average assets under management  during  the
current reporting period as compared to the corresponding
period in 1993.

The  decrease in net underwriting commissions was due  to
lower  sales compared to the corresponding period of  the
previous   year.   During  1994,  the  Company   received
approval  from the shareholders of the Franklin Group  of
Funds  to implement a distribution plan pursuant to  Rule
12b-1   of   the   Investment  Company   Act   of   1940.
Simultaneously,  the  Company  eliminated  fees  on  fund
reinvestments.    The   change  has   made   underwriting
commissions  dependent upon absolute sales levels  rather
than  mutual  fund investor dividend reinvestment  rates.
As  a consequence, consistent with industry trends, lower
levels  of mutual funds sales have resulted in a decrease
in underwriting commissions.

The  boards  of  directors of the Franklin and  Templeton
funds  have approved proposals to adopt multiple  classes
of  shares  for  various  existing  funds.   The  Company
intends  to  introduce a new class of shares,  Class  II,
during the third quarter of the fiscal year with the goal
of expanding the distribution of fund shares to a broader
audience   of   investors  who  have  different   pricing
preferences, but who share similar investment objectives.
While the new class of shares will be more expensive  for
the  Company  to  distribute than  existing  shares,  the
Company believes that Class II shares will result  in  an
overall increase in assets under management.

The  increase  in  transfer, trust and  related  fees  is
related   principally  to  an  increase  in   shareholder
accounts.

The  increases in banking/finance, real estate and  other
revenues was due principally to the increase in auto  and
credit card loan portfolios.

                                 8

Increases in operating expenses principally resulted from
the  general expansion of the Company's business and  are
more fully described below.

General and administrative expenses increased during  the
period  due  to  higher employment and  facilities  costs
related to the expansion of the Company's business.

Selling   expenses  increased  mainly  due  to  continued
increases  in media advertising and additional  marketing
initiatives.

     net                    ($0.3)  ($2.4)   $2.1     -88%

The net increase in investment income for the three month
period resulted from an increase in the average level  of
interest and dividend rates on investments.

Interest expense for the three month period declined   as
the Company paid down principal.

   Other                                                $12.8       $36.2   ($23.4)     -65%
Investments securities, available for sale             $176.0      $162.4     $13.6       8%
Banking/finance loans receivable, net                  $470.3      $391.8     $78.5      20%
Banking/finance investment securities                   $11.5       $26.3   ($14.8)     -56%
Stockholders' equity                                   $988.7      $930.8     $57.9       6%

The      decrease      in     fees     receivable     from     the      Franklin
Templeton    Group    resulted    from   lower    fees    related    to    lower
sales    and    a    general    slowdown   in   the    additions    to    assets
under management in the quarter ended December 31, 1994.

The     decrease     in     other    receivables    was    related     primarily
to    the    payment    of    advances   on   deferred   sales    charges    for
Canada based mutual funds.

The     increase    in    investment    securities    available     for     sale
was     the    result    of    increased    investment    of    the    Company's
cash from operating activities.

The      increase     banking/finance     loans     receivable,     net      was
due    primarily    to    increased    investment    in    credit    card    and
dealer      auto      loan     portfolios.      The     Company      anticipates
continued    increases    in    its    investment    in    credit    card    and
dealer     auto     loan     portfolios.      The     Company     intends     to
continue     funding     these     investments    through     operating     cash
flows      and     existing     debt     facilities.      Additionally,      the
Company      is     investigating     the     possibility     of     alternative
funding    sources    such    as    securitization    of    the    auto     loan
portfolio.

The       decrease      in      Banking/finance      investment      securities,
available    for    sale   was   due   to   increased    investment    in    the
loan portfolios referred to above.

Stockholders' equity increased primarily as a result of
net income for the period.

II.  Material Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity
     and Capital Resources (continued)
                                               
                                               
                                         Three months
                                            ended
Selected cash flow items:                December 31
(Dollars in millions)                   1994     1993
                                                        
Cash flows from operating activities     $97.6     $78.5
Cash flows from investing activities   ($88.0)   ($24.8)
Cash flows from financing activities   ($22.1)    ($3.0)

The  increase in cash flows from operating activities was
primarily the result of net income for the period.

The  changes  in cash flows from investing and  financing
activities  during the period were effected primarily  by
the  Company's funding of auto and credit card  loans  of
the banking/finance group, dividends paid on common stock
and purchase of treasury shares.

The  proposed  Class  II shares require  the  Company  to
advance  a  one percent dealer commission which  will  be
recouped substantially during the subsequent twelve month
period  through  a .75% and .65% asset  based  charge  on
equity and fixed income funds, respectively.  The Company
will fund these advances through operating cash flows and
existing debt facilities.

On  December 8, 1994, the Company announced that  it  had
applied  and  received approval from the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission to purchase $7.1 million in unsecured
Orange  County obligations from two of its  money  market
mutual funds.  The Company purchased these securities  on
a  voluntary  basis  to alleviate any concerns  by  those
funds'   shareholders  and  does   not   anticipate   any
significant losses as a result.  The Company has  limited
additional  exposure to Orange County securities  in  the
assets  under its management and does not anticipate  any
additional  purchases  of Orange County  securities  from
those assets.

At  December 31, 1994, the Company held liquid assets  of
$460.7 million, including $197.9 million in cash and cash
equivalents  as  compared to $488.6  million  and  $210.4
million at September 30, 1994.

annual  meeting of stockholders is not held within  such

prescribed time, an election of directors may be held at

entitled   to   vote   at  the  meeting,   arranged   in

alphabetical  order,  and showing the  address  of  each

the  examination  of any stockholder,  for  any  purpose

germane to the meeting, during ordinary business  hours,

for  a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting,

either  at  a  place  specified in  the  notice  of  the

otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of

Incorporation, may be called by the president and  shall

the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at

any  annual or special meeting of stockholders,  present

in  person  or represented by proxy, shall constitute  a

quorum  at such meeting for the transaction of business,

except  as  otherwise  provided by  statute  or  by  the

Certificate of Incorporation.  If, however, such  quorum

shall  not  be present or represented at any meeting  of

the  stockholders,  the stockholders  entitled  to  vote

thereat,  present  in  person or represented  by  proxy,

shall  have  power to adjourn the meeting from  time  to

time,  without  notice other than  announcement  at  the

meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented.

At  such  adjourned meeting at which a quorum  shall  be

present  or  represented, any business may be transacted

which  might  have  been transacted at  the  meeting  as

originally  notified.  If the adjournment  is  for  more

than  thirty  days,  or if after the adjournment  a  new

record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice

of   the  adjourned  meeting  shall  be  given  to  each

stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.



      Section  9.  Voting.  When a quorum is present  at

any  meeting, the vote of the holders of a  majority  of

the  stock  having  voting power present  in  person  or

represented  by proxy shall decide any question  brought

before  such  meeting, unless the question is  one  upon

which  by  express provision of the General  Corporation

Law  of Delaware or of the Certificate of Incorporation,

a  different vote is required in which case such express

provision shall govern and control the decision of  such

question.



      Unless  otherwise provided in the  Certificate  of

Incorporation, each stockholder shall at  every  meeting

of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or

by  proxy  for  each share of the capital  stock  having

voting  power  held by such stockholder,  but  no  proxy

shall  be  voted  on after three years  from  its  date,

unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

each  stockholder having voting power shall be  entitled

to  exercise the right of cumulative voting if,  and  to

the  extent,  the Certificate of Incorporation  provides

for cumulative voting.



      Section  10.  Stockholder Action Without  Meeting.

Unless   otherwise  provided  in  the   Certificate   of

Incorporation, any action required to be  taken  at  any

annual  or  special  meeting  of  stockholders  of   the

Corporation,  or any action which may be  taken  at  any

annual  or special meeting of such stockholders, may  be

taken  without  a  meeting,  without  prior  notice  and

without  a vote, if a consent in writing, setting  forth

the  action so taken, shall be signed by the holders  of

outstanding  stock  having not  less  than  the  minimum

number of votes that would be necessary to authorize  or

take  such  action  at  a meeting at  which  all  shares

entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.  Prompt

notice  of the taking of the corporate action without  a

writing.

                            

                            
                            
                            
                            

                            

                            

                            

                       ARTICLE III

                            

                   BOARD OF DIRECTORS

                            

      Section 1.  Management.  The management of all  of

the  affairs, property, and interest of the  Corporation

shall be vested in a Board of Directors.  In addition to

the  powers  and  authorities of these By-Laws  and  the

Certificate  of  Incorporation expressly conferred  upon

it,  the Board of Directors may exercise all such powers

of  the  Corporation, and do all such  lawful  acts  and

things,  as  are  not by statute, by the Certificate  of

Incorporation, or by these By-Laws directed or  required

to be exercised or done by the stockholders.



     Section 2.  Qualifications and Number of Directors.

A  director need not be a stockholder, a citizen of  the

United  States, nor a resident of the State of Delaware.

The number of directors constituting the whole Board  of

Directors  shall  be  at least three.   Subject  to  the

foregoing limitation, the exact number of directors  may

be fixed from time to time by the affirmative vote of  a

majority of the directors (or by the affirmative vote of

a  majority  of  interest  of the  stockholders),  at  a

special  meeting called for that purpose,  and  by  like

vote  the  additional directors may be  chosen  at  such

meeting,  to hold office until the next annual  election

and until their successors are elected and qualify.  The

directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of  the

stockholders,  except  as  otherwise  provided  in  this

Article,  and  each director elected shall  hold  office

until his successor is elected and qualified.



     Section 3.  Election and Term.  Vacancies and newly

created directorships resulting from any increase in the

authorized  number  of directors  may  be  filled  by  a

majority  of  the directors then in office, though  less

than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and  the

directors  so  chosen shall hold office until  the  next

annual  election  and  until their successors  are  duly

elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced.   If

there  are  no directors in office, then an election  of

directors may be held in the manner provided by statute.

If,  at the time of filling any vacancy or newly created

directorship,  the  directors  then  in   office   shall

constitute less than a majority of the whole  board  (as

constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the

Delaware Court of Chancery may, upon application of  any

stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten percent

of   the  total  number  of  the  shares  at  the   time

outstanding having the right to vote for such directors,

summarily order an election to be held to fill any  such

vacancies or newly created directorships, or to  replace

the directors chosen by the directors then in office.



      Section  4.   Meetings of the Board of  Directors.

The  Board  of  Directors of the  Corporation  may  hold

meetings,  both  regular and special, either  within  or

without the State of Delaware.



      Section 5.  Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of

the  Board  of Directors may be held without  notice  at

such  time and at such place as shall from time to  time

be determined by the Board of Directors.



      Section 6.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of

the  Board of Directors may be called at any time by the

president, or in his absence, by any vice president,  or

by any one of the directors in office, to be held at the

principal  executive office of the  Corporation,  or  at

such  other place or places, within or without the State

of  Delaware,  as the directors may from  time  to  time

designate.



      Section 7.  Notice.  Notice of any special meeting

of  the Board of Directors may be served personally upon

each  director or mailed, cabled, or telegraphed to him,

not  less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the  hour

set  for the meeting, at his address appearing upon  the

books  of  the  Corporation.  Such notice  may  also  be

telephoned,  provided  that such  director  so  notified

shall  actually  be reached by telephone.   Neither  the

business  to  be transacted at, nor the purpose  of  any

regular  or  special meeting of the Board of  Directors,

need  be  specified in the notice or a waiver of notice,

if any, of such meeting.



      Section 8.  Quorum.  At all meetings of the  Board

of  Directors,  a  majority of the directors  in  office

(provided, that such majority shall constitute at  least

one-third of the whole of the Board of Directors)  shall

constitute a quorum for the transaction of business  and

the  act of a majority of the directors present  at  any

meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the  act  of

the  Board  of  Directors, except as  may  be  otherwise

specifically  provided by statute or by the  Certificate

of  Incorporation.  If a quorum shall not be present  at

any  meeting  of the Board of Directors,  the  directors

present  thereat may adjourn the meeting  from  time  to

time,  without  notice other than  announcement  at  the

meeting, until a quorum shall be present.



      Section  9.   Action Without  a  Meeting.   Unless

otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation

or these By-Laws, any action required or permitted to be

taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any

committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all

members  of the Board or committee, as the case may  be,

consent  thereto in writing, and the writing or writings

are  filed with the minutes of proceedings of the  Board

or committee.



      Section  10.   Meetings By  Telephone  or  Similar

Equipment.    Unless   otherwise   restricted   by   the

Certificate  of Incorporation or these By-Laws,  members

of  the  Board of Directors, or any committee designated

by  the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting

of the Board of Directors, or any committee, by means of

conference telephone or similar communications equipment

by  means  of  which  all persons participating  in  the

meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a

meeting  shall  constitute presence  in  person  at  the

meeting.



      Section 11.  Chairman of the Meeting  The chairman

of Board of Directors, if any and if present and acting,

shall  preside  at all meetings.  Otherwise,  the  vice-

chairman,  if  any  and if present and  acting,  or  the

president, if present and acting, or any director chosen

by the Board of Directors, shall preside.



     Section 12.  Committees of Directors.  The Board of

Directors may, whenever its number consists of three  or

more,  by  resolution passed by a majority of the  whole

Board  of  Directors, designate one or more  committees,

each  committee  to  consist  of  one  or  more  of  the

directors  of the Corporation.  The Board may  designate

one  or  more  directors  as alternate  members  of  any

committee,  who  may replace any absent or  disqualified

member at any meeting of the committee.



     In the absence or disqualification of a member of a

committee, the member or members thereof present at  any

meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not

he  or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint

another member of the Board of Directors to act  at  the

meeting  in the place of any such absent or disqualified

member.



      Any such committee, to the extent provided in  the

resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may

exercise  all the powers and authority of the  Board  of

Directors in the management of the business and  affairs

of  the  Corporation, and may authorize the seal of  the

Corporation  to  be  affixed to  all  papers  which  may

require  it; but no such committee shall have the  power

or authority in reference to amending the Certificate of

Incorporation,  (except that a  committee  may,  to  the

extent  authorized  in  the  resolution  or  resolutions

providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted by

the Board of Directors as provided in Section 151(a)  of

the  General Corporation Law of Delaware fix any of  the

preferences  or  rights  to  such  shares  relating   to

dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution  of

assets of the Corporation or the conversion into, or the

exchange  of such shares for, shares of any other  class

or  classes or any other series of the same or any other

class  or  classes of stock of the Corporation) adopting

an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to

the stockholders the sale, lease, or exchange of all  or

substantially  all  of  the Corporation's  property  and

assets,  recommending to the stockholders a  dissolution

of  the  Corporation or revocation of a dissolution,  or

amending the By-Laws of the Corporation; and, unless the

resolution or the Certificate of Incorporation expressly

so  provide, no such committee shall have the  power  or

authority  to  declare a dividend or  to  authorize  the

issuance of stock or to adopt a certificate of ownership

and merger.



      Such committee or committees shall have such  name

or  names  as  may be determined from time  to  time  by

resolution  adopted  by the Board  of  Directors.   Each

committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and

report the same to the Board of Directors when required.



      Section  13.   Compensation of Directors.   Unless

otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation

or  these By-Laws, the Board of Directors shall have the

authority  to  fix the compensation of  directors.   The

directors  may  be  paid  their  expenses,  if  any,  of

attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and

may  be  paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting

of  the  Board  of  Directors  or  a  stated  salary  as

director.   No such payment shall preclude any  director

from  serving the Corporation in any other capacity  and

receiving compensation therefor.  Members of special  or

standing committees may be allowed like compensation for

attending committee meetings.



       Section   14.   Removal  of  Directors.    Unless

otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation

or   By-Laws,  any  director  or  the  entire  Board  of

Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by  the

holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote  at  an

election of directors.

the  provisions  of  the  General  Corporation  Law   of

Delaware,  of  the Certificate of Incorporation,  or  of

these  By-Laws, notice is required to be  given  to  any

mean  personal notice, but such notice may be  given  in

stockholder, at his address as it appears on the records

of  the  Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid,  and

such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when

General  Corporation Law of Delaware, of the Certificate

of  Incorporation, or of these By-Laws, a waiver thereof

in  writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to

assistant  treasurers  in the order  determined  by  the

Board   of   Directors  (or  if   there   be   no   such

determination,  then  in the order  of  their  election)

shall,  in the absence of the treasurer or in the  event

of  his  inability or refusal to act, perform the duties

and  exercise  the  powers of the  treasurer  and  shall

perform such other duties and have such other powers  as

the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe.



      Section 11.  Substitutes.  In case any officer  of

the Corporation, and any person herein authorized to act

in  his place, is absent or unable to act, the Board  of

Directors  may from time to time delegate the powers  or

duties  of  such officer to any other officer, director,

or other person whom it may select.

                       ARTICLE VI

                            
                          STOCK

                            

     Section 1.  Certificates for Shares.  The shares of

the Corporation shall be represented by a certificate or

may be uncertificated.  Certificates shall be signed by,

or  in  the name of the Corporation by, the chairman  or

vice  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  of   the

president  or a vice president and the treasurer  or  an

assistant  treasurer, or the secretary or  an  assistant

secretary  of  the Corporation, or other combination  of

officers  of  the Corporation as may be determined  from

time to time by the Board of Directors.



      Upon  the  face or back of each stock  certificate

issued to represent any partly paid shares, or upon  the

books  and  records of the Corporation in  the  case  of

uncertificated partly paid shares, shall  be  set  forth

the  total  amount  of  the  consideration  to  be  paid

therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated.



      If  the  Corporation shall be authorized to  issue

more than one class of stock or more than one series  of

any  class,  the  powers, designations, preferences  and

relative,  participating,  optional,  or  other  special

rights or each class of stock or series thereof and  the

qualification,  limitations,  or  restrictions  of  such

preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full  or

summarized on the face or back of the certificate  which

the  Corporation shall issue to represent such class  or

series  of  stock,  provided that, except  as  otherwise

provided  in Section 202 of the General Corporation  Law

of  Delaware.   In  lieu of the foregoing  requirements,

there  may  be  set forth on the face  or  back  of  the

certificate  which  the  Corporation  shall   issue   to

represent  such  class or series of stock,  a  statement

that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each

stockholder  who  so requests the powers,  designations,

preferences,  and relative, participating, optional,  or

other  special rights of each class of stock  or  series

thereof   and   the   qualifications,  limitations,   or

restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.



      Within  a  reasonable time after the  issuance  or

transfer of uncertificated stock, the Corporation  shall

send  to  the registered owner thereof a written  notice

containing the information required to be set  forth  or

stated  on  certificates pursuant to Sections 151,  156,

202(a)  or  218(a)  of the General  Corporation  Law  of

Delaware  or  a  statement  that  the  Corporation  will

furnish  without  charge  to  each  stockholder  who  so

requests  the  powers,  designations,  preferences,  and

relative  participating,  optional,  or  other   special

rights of each class of stock or series thereof and  the

qualifications,  limitations, or  restrictions  of  such

preferences and/or rights.



      Section 2.  Facsimile Signatures.  Any of  or  all

the  signatures on a certificate may be  facsimile.   In

case  any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who  has

signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon

a  certificate  shall have ceased to  be  such  officer,

transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate  is

issued,  it  may be issued by the Corporation  with  the

same  effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent,

or registrar at the date of issue.



      Section  3.   Lost  Certificates.   The  Board  of

Directors  may direct a new certificate or  certificates

or  uncertificated shares to be issued in place  of  any

certificate  or certificates theretofore issued  by  the

Corporation  alleged  to  have  been  lost,  stolen,  or

destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that  fact

by  the person claiming the certificate of stock  to  be

lost, stolen, or destroyed.  When authorizing such issue

of  a  new certificate or certificates or uncertificated

shares,  the  Board of Directors may, in its  discretion

and  as  a  condition precedent to the issuance thereof,

require  the  owner of such lost, stolen,  or  destroyed

certificate    or    certificates,    or    his    legal

representative, to advertise the same in such manner  as

it  shall require and/or to give the Corporation a  bond

in  such  sum as it may direct as indemnity against  any

claim  that  may  be made against the  Corporation  with

respect  to  the certificate alleged to have been  lost,

stolen, or destroyed.



      Section 4.  Transfer of Stock.  Upon surrender  to

the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation

of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied

by   proper  evidence  of  succession,  assignation,  or

authority  to  transfer, it shall be  the  duty  of  the

Corporation  to issue a new certificate  to  the  person

entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record

the  transaction upon its books.  Upon receipt of proper

transfer  instructions  from  the  registered  owner  of

uncertificated shares, such uncertificated shares  shall

be    cancelled   and   issuance   of   new   equivalent

uncertificated  shares or certificated shares  shall  be

made  to the person entitled thereto and the transaction

shall be recorded upon the books of the Corporation.



     Section 5.  Fixing Record Dates.  In order that the

Corporation  may determine the stockholders entitled  to

notice  of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders  or

any  adjournment  thereof,  or  to  express  consent  to

corporate  action  in  writing  without  a  meeting,  or

entitled  to  receive payment of any dividend  or  other

distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled  to

exercise   any   rights  in  respect  to   any   change,

conversion, or exchange of stock or for the  purpose  of

any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix,

in  advance, a record date, which shall not be more than

sixty  nor  less than ten days before the date  of  such

meeting,  nor  more than sixty days prior to  any  other

action.   A  determination  of  stockholders  of  record

entitled  to  notice  of or to  vote  at  a  meeting  of

stockholders  shall  apply to  any  adjournment  of  the

meeting;  provided, however, that the Board of Directors

may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.



       Section   6.    Registered   Stockholders.    The

Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive

right  of a person registered on its books as the  owner

of  shares  to  receive dividends, and to vote  as  such

owner,  and  to hold liable for calls and assessments  a

person  registered on its books as the owner of  shares,

and  shall  not be bound to recognize any  equitable  or

other  claim to or interest in such share or  shares  on

the  part  of any other person, whether or not it  shall

have   express  or  other  notice  thereof,  except   as

otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.
