                         (Amended as of October 7, 1997)

             Section 3.02 was amended to add a new paragraph (e) which reads
   in its entirety as follows:

             (e)  Vice Chairman of the Board.  The Board of Directors
        may elect a director as Vice Chairman of the Board.  Whenever
        the Chairman is unable to perform his duties for whatever
        reason, or whenever the Chairman requests that the Vice Chairman
        perform such duties on behalf of the Chairman, the Vice Chairman
        shall have full authority to preside at all meetings of the
        shareholders and of the Board of Directors, call meetings of the
        shareholders and the Board of Directors, act as Chairman of the
        Executive Committee, advise and counsel the President and Chief
        Executive Officer, and assume such other duties as the Chairman
        is responsible to perform or as may be assigned to the Vice
        Chairman by the Chairman or the Board of Directors.  The Vice
        Chairman shall be neither an officer nor an employee of the
        corporation (by virtue of his election and service as Vice
        Chairman of the Board) and may use the title Vice Chairman or
        Vice Chairman of the Board interchangeably.
