to prevent the loss or secure the reinstatement of any license or franchise from
any governmental agency held by the Corporation or any Subsidiary to conduct any
portion of the business of the Corporation, or any Subsidiary, which license or
franchise is conditioned upon some or all of the holders of the Corporation's
stock of any class or series possessing prescribed qualifications. The terms and
conditions of such redemption shall be as follows:

          (a)  the redemption price of the shares to be redeemed pursuant to
this Article XIII shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares or such
other redemption price as required by pertinent state or federal law pursuant to
which the redemption is required;

          (b)  the redemption price of such shares may be paid in cash,
Redemption Securities or any combination thereof;

          (c)  if less than all the shares held by Disqualified Holders are to
be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected in such manner as shall
be determined by the Board of Directors, which may include selection first of
the most recently purchased shares thereof, selection by lot or selection in any
other manner determined by the Board of Directors;

          (d)  at least 30 days' written notice of the Redemption Date shall be
given to the record holders of the shares selected to be redeemed (unless waived
in writing by any such holder); provided, however, that the Redemption Date may
be the date on which 

                                      -1-
         

 
written notice shall be given to record holders if the cash or Redemption
Securities necessary to effect the redemption shall have been deposited in trust
for the benefit of such record holders and subject to immediate withdrawal by
them upon surrender of the stock certificates fur their shares to be redeemed;

          (e)  from and after the Redemption Date or such earlier date as
mandated by pertinent state or federal law, any and all rights of whatever
nature, which may be held by the owners of shares selected for redemption
(including without limitation any rights to vote or participate in dividends

     For purposes of this Article XIII:

          (i)  "Disqualified Holder" shall mean any holder of shares of stock of
the Corporation of any class (or classes) or series whose holding of such stock,
either individually or when taken together with the holding of shares of stock
of the Corporation of any class (or classes) or series by any other holders, may

its fiduciary duties, in the loss of, or the failure to secure a license or
franchise or the reinstatement of, any license or franchise from any
governmental agency held by the Corporation or any Subsidiary to conduct any
portion of the business of the Corporation or any Subsidiary.

          (ii) "Fair Market Value" of a share of the Corporation's stock of any
class or series shall mean the average Closing Price for such a share for the 45
most recent days on which shares of stock of such class or series shall have
been traded preceding the day on which notice of redemption shall be given
pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Article XIII; provided, however, that if
shares of stock of such class or series are not traded on any securities
exchange or in the over-the-counter market, "Fair Market Value" shall be
determined by the Board of Directors in good faith; and provided, further,
however, that Fair Market Value of a share held by any stockholder who purchased
any stock of the class (or classes) or series subject to redemption within 120
days of a Redemption Date need not (unless otherwise determined by the Board of
Directors) exceed the purchase price paid by him for any stock of such class of
the Corporation.  "Closing Price" on any day means the reported closing sales
price or, in case no such sale takes place, the average of the reported closing
bid and asked prices on the Composite Tape for the New York Stock Exchange-
Listed Stocks, or, if stock of the class or series in question is not quoted on
such Composite Tape, on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if such stock is not
listed on such Exchange, on the principal United States securities exchange
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on which such stock is
listed, or, if such stock is not listed on any such exchange, the closing sales
price, or for such stock on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Automated Quotations System or any system then in use, or if no such prices or
quotations are available, the fair market value on the day in question as
determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

 
          (iii) "Redemption Date" shall mean the date fixed by the Board of
Directors for the redemption of any shares of stock of the Corporation pursuant
to this of Article XIII.

          (iv)  "Redemption Securities" shall mean any debt or equity securities
of the Corporation, any Subsidiary or any other corporation, or any combination
thereof, having such terms and conditions as shall be approved by the Board of
Directors and which, together with cash, if any, to be paid as part of the
redemption price, which has a value, at the time notice of redemption is given
pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Article XIII, at least equal to the Fair
Market Value of the shares to be redeemed pursuant to this Article XIII
(assuming, in the case of Redemption Securities to be publicly traded, such
Redemption Securities were fully distributed and subject only to normal trading
activity).

          (v)   "Subsidiary" shall mean any entity more than 50% of whose
outstanding capitalization entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors or other similar governing body is owned by the Corporation, by one or
more subsidiaries of the Corporation, or by the Corporation and one or more of
its subsidiaries.

     THIRD:  The manner, if not set forth in such amendment, in which any
exchange, reclassification, or cancellation of issued shares provided for in the
amendment shall be effected, is as follows:

     None.

     FOURTH:  The manner in which such amendment effects a change in the amount
of stated capital, and the amount of stated capital as changed by such
amendment, are as follows:

     None.
