contained in the Company's Ordinance, may declare and pay dividends, either in
the form of cash or stock, to its shareholders according to their rights and
interests in the profits and may fix the time for payment."

As amended Article 100 of the Articles of Association will be amended
to read as follows:

"Upon declaration by the Board of Directors, a dividend may be paid,
wholly or partly, by the distribution of specific assets of the Company or by
distribution of paid up shares, debentures or debenture stock or any other
securities of the Company or of any other companies or in any one or more of
