issuance by the Board of Directors of any other series of Preferred Stock
whether or not the powers, preferences and rights of such other series shall be
fixed by the Board of Directors as senior to, or on a parity with, the powers,
preferences and rights of such outstanding series, or any of them; provided,
however, that the Board of Directors may provide in the resolution or
resolutions as to any series of Preferred Stock adopted pursuant to section (b)
of this Article Fourth that the consent of the holders of a majority (or such
greater proportion as shall be therein fixed) of the outstanding shares of such
series voting thereon shall be required for the issuance of any or all other
series of Preferred Stock.

(f) Subject to the provisions of section (e), shares of any series of Preferred

Corporation entitled to vote thereon.

Fifth: - (a) The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be conducted and
managed by a Board of Directors. The number of directors constituting the entire
Board shall be not less than five nor more than twenty-five as fixed from time

number of directors shall not be reduced so as to shorten the term of any
director at the time in office, and provided further, that the number of
directors constituting the whole Board shall be twenty-four until otherwise
fixed by a majority of the whole Board.

(b) The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal

class shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the second
succeeding annual meeting and directors of the third class shall be elected to
hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting. Any
vacancies in the Board of Directors for any reason, and any newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the directors, may be filled by the
Board of Directors, acting by a majority of the directors then in office,
although less than a quorum, and any directors so chosen shall hold office until
the next annual election of directors. At such election, the stockholders shall
elect a successor to such director to hold office until the next election of the
class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his successor
shall be elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of directors shall
shorten the term of any incumbent director.

percentage may be specified by law, this Charter or Act of Incorporation or the
By-Laws of the Corporation), any director or the entire Board of Directors of
the Corporation may be removed at any time without cause, but only by the
affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares
of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors (considered for this purpose as one class) cast at a meeting of the
stockholders called for that purpose.

Corporation not less than 14 days nor more than 50 days prior to any meeting of
the stockholders called for the election of directors; provided, however, that
if less than 21 days' notice of the meeting is given to stockholders, such
written notice shall be delivered or mailed, as prescribed, to the Secretary of
the Corporation not later than the close of the seventh day following the day on
which notice of the meeting was mailed to stockholders. Notice of nominations
which are proposed by the Board of Directors shall be given by the Chairman on
behalf of the Board.

(e) Each notice under subsection (d) shall set forth (i) the name, age, business
address and, if known, residence address of each nominee proposed in such
notice, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of such nominee and (iii)
the number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by
each such nominee.

                                       12


(f) The Chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine and declare
to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing
procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and
the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

(g) No action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual or
special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a
meeting, and the power of stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting,
to the taking of any action is specifically denied.

provided in the By-Laws as they may from time to time find necessary or proper.

additional By-Laws, alterations or repeal may be adopted only by the affirmative
vote of the holders of two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Corporation

                                       13
