time to time in one or more series.  The Board of Directors is
authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred
Stock and to determine the designation of any such series.  The

rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or
imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and,
within the limits and restrictions in any resolution or
resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the
number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease

however, that this Article SIXTH (a) will have no further force
and effect beyond that required under Section 1123 of the
Bankruptcy Code; (b) will have such force and effect, if any,

authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability
of a director, then the liability of a director of the
Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the GCL, as so amended.  Any repeal or modification
of this Article SEVENTH by the stockholders of the Corporation
shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director
of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or
modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring
prior to such repeal or modification.  The provisions of this
Article SEVENTH shall not be deemed to limit or preclude
indemnification of a director by the Corporation for any
liability of a director that has not been eliminated or limited
