         2. That effective  October 26, 1995,  Section 3.2 of the  Corporation's
Bylaws was amended to read as follows:

                  "The number of directors of the corporation  shall be not less
                  than  seven  (7) nor more  than  nine  (9)  until  changed  by
                  amendment  of the  Articles  of  Incorporation  or by a  Bylaw
                  amending  this Section 3.2 duly adopted by the vote or written
                  consent of holders of a majority  of the  outstanding  shares,
                  provided  that if the minimum  number of directors is five (5)
                  or  more,  any  proposal  to  reduce  the  minimum  number  of
                  directors  to a number less then five (5) cannot be adopted if
                  the votes cast  against  its  adoption  at a  meeting,  or the
                  shares  not  consenting  in the  case  of  action  by  written
                  consent, are equal to more than sixteen and two-thirds percent
                  (16-2/3%)  of the  outstanding  shares  entitled to vote.  The
                  exact  number of  directors  shall be fixed from time to time,
                  within the limits  specified in the Articles of  Incorporation
                  in this Section 3.2, by a resolution  duly adopted by the vote
                  of a majority of the shares entitled to vote  represented at a
                  duly  held  meeting  at which a quorum is  present,  or by the
                  written   consent  of  the   holders  of  a  majority  of  the
                  outstanding  shares  entitled  to  vote,  or by the  Board  of
                  Directors.
