other offices, either within or outside the Commonwealth of Kentucky, as
the business of the Corporation may require from time to time.

shall be at Fourth and Main Streets, Paris, Kentucky.  The address of

ARTICLE II
Shareholders

2.1	Annual Meetings.  The annual meeting of the shareholders
shall be held at such time, place and on such date as the Board of
Directors shall designate and as stated in the notice of the meeting,
said date to be no later than six months following the end of the
Corporation's fiscal year.  The purpose of such meeting shall be the
election of directors and the transaction of such other business as may
properly come before it.  If the election of directors shall not be held
on the day designated for an annual meeting, or at any adjournment
thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a
special meeting of the shareholders to be held as soon thereafter as may
be practicable.  Failure to hold the annual meeting at or within the
designated time, or to elect directors at or within such time, shall not
work any forfeiture or a dissolution of the Corporation, and shall not
otherwise affect valid corporate acts.

2.2	Special meetings.  Special meetings of the shareholders for
any purpose or purposes shall be called by the Chief Executive Officer
at the written request of a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors, or upon the written demand of the holders of not less than
67% of all the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at
such meeting.

2.3	Place of Special Meetings.  The Board of Directors may
designate any place within or outside the Commonwealth of Kentucky as
the place for any special meeting of shareholders called by the Board of
Directors.  If no designation is properly made, or if a special meeting
is otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be at the principal
office of the Corporation in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

2.4	Notice of Annual or Special Meetings.  The Corporation shall
give notice to shareholders of record of the date, time and place of
each annual or special shareholders meeting to be held, and, in case of
a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is
called, no less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the date of
the meeting.  Notice shall be given in written form, delivered
personally or by telegraph, teletype, any other form of wire or wireless
written communication or by mail or private carrier, by or at the
direction of the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary.  If notice is
given by mail, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when
deposited in the United States mail correctly addressed to the
shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of
the Corporation, with postage prepaid.  If notice is given by private
carrier, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered upon delivery of
such notice to a private carrier, in any envelope required by such
private carrier for delivery without charge to the shareholder,
correctly addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on
the stock transfer books of the Corporation.  If notice is given by
telegraph, teletype or any other form of wire or wireless written
communication, notice shall be deemed to be delivered upon proper
transmission of such written communication to the shareholder's address
as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation or through
a wireless communication telephone number for a shareholder's business
or residence address known to the Corporation that the Corporation
reasonably believes will result in the receipt of such written
communication (or all material information as to its contents) by the
shareholder.  An affidavit (a) of mailing of notice of a meeting of
shareholders, executed by the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary or any
transfer agent of the Corporation, (b) of delivery of notice, executed
by any private carrier or any independent company engaged in the
transmission and delivery of telegraphs, and (c) of proper transmission
of notice by teletype or any other form of wire or wireless written
communication, executed by any officer of the Corporation, shall be
prima facie evidence of the giving of such notice.  The notice of every
meeting of the shareholders may be accompanied by a form of proxy
approved by the Board of Directors in favor of such person(s) or
matter(s) as the Board of Directors may determine.

2.5	Advance Notice of Shareholder Business.  At any annual
meeting of the shareholders, only such business shall be conducted, and
only such proposals shall be acted upon, as shall have been properly
brought before the meeting.  To be properly brought before an annual
meeting, business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any
supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) otherwise properly
brought before the meeting by a shareholder in compliance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 2.5.  For business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must
have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the
Corporation.  To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to
or mailed and received at the principal office of the Corporation, not
less than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the scheduled date of the
meeting, regardless of any postponement, deferral or adjournment of that
meeting to a later date; provided, however, that if less than 70 days'
notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or
made to shareholders, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so
received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following
the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was
mailed or such public disclosure was made.  A shareholder's notice to
the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes
to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the
business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons
for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) the name, age,
business address, residence address and principal occupation or
employment of the shareholder proposing such business, (c) the class and
number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the
shareholder and (d) any material interest of the shareholder in such
business.  Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no
business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this section 2.5. The chairman of the
annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the
meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5, and if he should so
determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not
properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

2.6	Closing Transfer Books and Fixing of a Record Date.  The
Board of Directors of the Corporation may close its stock transfer books
for a period not exceeding 70 days, immediately prior to the date of any
meeting of shareholders, or the date for the payment of any dividend or
for the allotment of rights, or the date when any exchange or
reclassification of shares shall be effective; or in lieu thereof, may
fix in advance a date, not exceeding 70 days prior to the date of any
meeting of shareholders, or to the date for the payment of any dividend
or for the allotment of rights, or to the date when any exchange or
reclassification of shares shall be effective, as the record date for
the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at,
such meeting, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any such
dividend or to receive any such allotment of rights, or to exercise
rights in respect of any exchange or reclassification of shares.  The
shareholders of record on such record date shall be the shareholders
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, such meeting, or to receive
payment of such dividend or to receive such allotment of rights, or to
exercise such rights, in the event of an exchange or reclassification of
shares, as the case may be. If the transfer books are not closed and no
record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the date on which notice
of the meeting is mailed, or the date on which the resolution of the
Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted or such other
action is taken, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the record
date for the determination of the shareholders of the Corporation and
the number of shares owned by them for all of the purposes set forth in
the immediately preceding sentence.  When a record date has been
established as provided herein, such record date shall be effective for
any adjournment of the meeting for which such record date was
established, unless the meeting is adjourned (other than by court order)
to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original
meeting, in which case the Board of Directors shall establish a new
record date in accordance with these Bylaws.  If a court orders a
meeting adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for
the original meeting and provides that the original record date continue
in effect, the Board of Directors need not establish a new record date.

2.7	Voting Record.  The officer or agent having charge of the
Corporation's stock transfer books shall make, at least 5 business days
before every meeting of shareholders, a list of the shareholders
entitled to notice of the shareholders' meeting.  The list shall be
arranged by voting group (and within each voting group by class or
series of shares) and show the address of and number of shares held by
each shareholder.  Such shareholders' list shall be available for
inspection by any shareholder, beginning 5 business days before the
meeting for which the list was prepared and continuing through the
meeting, at the Corporation's principal office or at a place identified
in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held.  A
shareholder, his agent or attorney may on written demand inspect and
copy the list during regular business hours and at the shareholder's
expense, during the period it is available for inspection, subject to
the Corporation's ability to refuse to permit such inspection or copying
without a court order.  The Corporation shall make the shareholders'
list available at the meeting, and any shareholder, his agent or
attorney shall be entitled to inspect the list at any time during the
meeting or any adjournment.

2.8	Quorum.  A majority of the outstanding shares of the
Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum of the shareholders for all purposes unless a
greater or lesser quorum shall be provided by law or the Corporation's
Articles of Incorporation and in such case the representation of the
number so required shall constitute a quorum.  Once a share is
represented for any purpose at the meeting, it shall be deemed present
for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any
adjournment of that meeting, unless a new record date is or must be set
for that adjourned meeting.  In the absence of a quorum, the
shareholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from
time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.9 of these Bylaws.

2.9	Adjournments.  Any meeting of shareholders, annual or
special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some
other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting
if the time and place thereof is announced at the meeting at which the
adjournment is taken.  At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may
transact any business which might have been transacted at the original
meeting.  If after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the
adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to
persons who are shareholders as of the new record date.

2.10	Organization.  The Chairman of the Board, or such other
person as may have been designated for the purpose by the Board of
Directors, or if no such designation shall have been made, a chairman
elected by the shareholders present, shall act as chairman of meetings
of shareholders.  The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as
secretary of meetings of shareholders, but in the absence of the
Secretary the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as
secretary of the meeting.

2.11	Voting.  Unless otherwise required by the Kentucky Business
Corporation Act, the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or these
Bylaws, (a) any question brought before any meeting of shareholders
shall be decided by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares
represented and entitled to vote on the matter and (b) each shareholder
represented at a meeting of shareholders shall be entitled to cast one
vote for each share entitled to vote on the matter held by such
shareholder; provided, however, that at each election for directors,
each shareholder entitled to vote shall have the right to cast as many
votes in the aggregate as he shall be entitled to vote under the
Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, multiplied by the number of
directors to be elected at such election, and each shareholder may cast
the whole number of votes for one candidate or distribute such votes in
whole numbers among two or more candidates.  The Board of Directors, in
its discretion, or the chairman presiding at a meeting of shareholders,
in his discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall
be cast by written ballot.

2.12	Proxies.  At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may
vote by a proxy signed by the shareholder or by his duly authorized
attorney-in-fact.  Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the
Corporation before or at the time of the meeting.  No proxy shall be
valid after 11 months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise
expressly provided in the proxy.  A proxy may be revoked in writing at
any time unless the appointment form conspicuously states that it is
irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest.  The
effective time of such revocation shall be the time the Secretary of the
Corporation receives the written notice of revocation.

2.13	Voting of Shares by Certain Holders.

(a)	Shares standing in the name of another corporation may
be voted by that corporation's president or by proxy appointed by him or
by such other person as the board of directors of such other corporation
may determine.

(b)	Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or
conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a
transfer of such shares into his name.  Shares standing in the name of a
trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee
shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such
shares into his name.

(c)	Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted
by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver
may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his name
if authority so to do is contained in an appropriate order of the court
by which such receiver was appointed.

(d)	Where shares are held jointly by two or more
fiduciaries, unless the Secretary of the Corporation is given written
notice to the contrary by any of such fiduciaries, the vote of one or
more of such fiduciaries shall be presumed to be the vote of all such
fiduciaries.  Where shares are held jointly by two or more fiduciaries
and written notice is given to the Secretary of the Corporation that the
vote of one or more of such fiduciaries may not be presumed to be the
vote of all such fiduciaries, the vote of the majority of such
fiduciaries (or both in the case of two fiduciaries) shall control the
manner of voting or the giving of a proxy unless the instrument or order
appointing the fiduciaries otherwise directs.  Where, in any case,
fiduciaries are equally divided upon the manner of voting shares jointly
held by them, any court of competent jurisdiction may, upon petition
filed by any of the fiduciaries, or by any beneficiary, appoint an
additional person to act with the fiduciaries in determining the manner
in which the shares shall be voted upon the particular questions as to
which the fiduciaries are divided.

(e)	A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be
entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into
the name of the pledgee, and thereafter, the pledgee shall be entitled to
vote the shares so transferred.

(f)	Neither treasury shares of its own stock held by the
Corporation, nor shares held by another corporation if a majority of the
shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other
corporation is held by the Corporation, shall be voted at any meeting or
counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any
given time.

(g)	The Secretary or any shareholder may demand written
proof that the person asserting the right to vote shares pursuant to this
Section 2.13 holds the position he claims to hold and has been properly
authorized to vote the shares he represents.  Such proof, if demanded,
shall be presented prior to the voting of such shares by such person.

2.14	Inspectors of Elections.  The Board of Directors or the
chairman of the meeting may appoint two or more inspectors to tally and
certify each vote required to be tallied and certified by them as
provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors appointing them or
in their appointment by the chairman of the meeting, and to perform such
other acts or duties as may be requested by the chairman of the meeting
or required by law.  On request of the chairman of the meeting or as
otherwise required by law, the inspectors shall make and execute a
written report to the chairman of the meeting certifying any facts found
by them and matters determined by them.  The report shall be prima facie
evidence of the facts stated and of the vote certified by the
inspectors.

2.15	Attendance at Meeting as Waiver.  Attendance by a
shareholder at a meeting of shareholders (a) waives objection to lack of
notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the
beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting
business at the meeting; and (b) waives objection to consideration of a
particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or
purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects
to considering the matter when it is presented.

ARTICLE III
Directors

3.1	General Powers.  The business affairs of the Corporation
shall be managed by its Board of Directors.

3.2	Number, Tenure and Qualifications.  The number of directors
of the Corporation shall be not less than five (5) and no more than
fifteen (15), and within this range shall be fixed by resolution adopted
by a majority of the Board of Directors from time to time.  Each
director shall hold office for the term for which he was elected and
until his successor shall be elected and qualified, whichever period is
longer, or until his death or until he shall resign or shall have been
removed in the manner hereinafter provided.

3.3	Removal and Resignations.  Subject to the rights of the
holders of any class or series of Preferred Shares then outstanding, at
a meeting of shareholders called expressly for the purpose of removing
one or more directors, any director or the entire Board of Directors may
be removed, with cause, by a vote of the holders of not less than 67% of
the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.  Whenever
the holders of the shares of any class or series are entitled to elect
one or more directors by the provisions of the Articles of
Incorporation, the provisions of this Section shall apply, in respect to
the removal of a director or directors so elected, to the vote of the
holders of the outstanding shares of that class or series and not to the
vote of the outstanding shares as a whole.  Any member of the Board of
Directors may resign from the Board of Directors at any time by giving
written notice to the Chairman of the Board or President of the
Corporation.  Any such resignation shall take effect at the time
specified therein or, if no time is specified, upon receipt thereof; and
unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation
shall not be necessary to make it effective.

3.4	Annual and Regular Meetings.  An annual meeting of the Board
of Directors shall be held without other notice than this Bylaw for
organization, the election of officers and the transaction of such other
business as may properly come before the meeting within 30 days after
each annual election of directors.  The Board of Directors may provide
by resolution the time and place, either within or outside the
Commonwealth of Kentucky for the holding of regular meetings without
other notice than such resolution.

3.5	Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Board of
Directors may be called by, or at the request of, the Chairman of the
Board or by any two directors.  All special meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation
unless some other place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting.

3.6	Notice.  Notice of any special meeting shall be given at
least 36 hours prior thereto, either in person or by telephone, or in
written form delivered personally or by telegraph, teletype, any other
form of wire or wireless written communication or by mail or private
carrier, to each director at such business address (and business wire or
wireless communication telephone number, if any) as he shall register
with the Secretary of the Corporation.  If mailed, such notice shall be
deemed to be delivered at the earliest of the following:  (a) when
received, (b) five days after its deposit in the United States mail, as
evidenced by the postmark, if mailed postpaid and correctly addressed,
or (c) on the date shown on the return receipt, if sent by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, and the receipt is signed by
or on behalf of the director.  If notice is given by a private carrier,
such notice shall be deemed to be delivered upon delivery of such notice
to a private carrier, in any envelope required by such private carrier
for delivery without charge to the director, correctly addressed to the
director at his business address.  If notice is given by telegraph,
teletype or any other form of wire or wireless written communication,
notice shall be deemed to be delivered when receipt of such written
communication is confirmed (whether by telephone or otherwise) by any
person present at the director's business address to which such written
communication has been transmitted.  Any director may waive notice of
any meeting.  The attendance of a director at any meeting shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director
at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon the director's
arrival) objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the
meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at
the meeting.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose
of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be
specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

3.7	Quorum.  A majority of the total number of directors as
constituted from time to time shall be necessary and sufficient to
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of
the Board of Directors.  In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the
directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a
quorum is present and the meeting may be held as adjourned without
further notice.

3.8	Organization.  Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be
presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence
the Vice-chairman, if any, or in the absence of the Chairman of the
Board and Vice Chairman, if any, the President, or in his absence by a
chairman chosen at the meeting.  The Secretary shall act as secretary of
the meeting, but in his absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint
any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

3.9	Manner of Acting.  The act of the majority of the directors
present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of
the Board of Directors, unless otherwise required by the Articles of
Incorporation.

3.10	Participation by Telephonic Means.  Members of the Board of
Directors, or of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may
participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by means of
conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of
which all persons participating in the meeting can hear and speak to
each other at the same time, and participation in a meeting pursuant to
this provision shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
3.11	Increase or Decrease to Number of Directors; Vacancies.
Subject to Section 3.2, the Board of Directors may increase or decrease
by 30% or less the number of directors last elected by the shareholders
of the Corporation.  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series
of Preferred Shares then outstanding, newly created directorships
resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any
vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation,
retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall
be filled by a majority of the remaining directors then in office, and
directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next
annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor shall have been
duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation or removal.
No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

3.12	Compensation.  Directors may be paid their expenses, if any,
of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors, and may be paid
a stated salary as director, a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting
of the Board of Directors or some combination thereof.  No such payment
shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other
capacity and receiving compensation therefore.  Members of special or
standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending
committee meetings.

3.13	Action by Written Consent.  Any action required or permitted
to be taken by the Board of Directors at a meeting may be taken without
a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by all of the directors.

3.14	Nominations of Director Candidates.  Only persons who are
nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section
3.14 shall be eligible for election as directors.  Nominations of
persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be
made at a meeting of shareholders by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or by any shareholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for
the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice
procedures set forth in this Section 3.14.  Such nominations, other than
those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be
made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the
Corporation.  To be timely, a shareholder's notice shall be delivered to
or mailed and received at the principal office of the Corporation not
less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting; provided,
however, that in the event that less than 70 days' notice or prior
public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to
shareholders, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received
not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day
on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such
public disclosure was made.  Such shareholders' notice shall set forth
(a) as to each director whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for
election or re-election as a director, (i) the name, age, business
address and residence address of such person, (ii) the principal
occupation or employment of such person, (iii) the class and number of
shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such person
and (iv) any other information relating to such person that is required
to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors,
or as otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including, without
limitation, such persons' written consent to being named in the proxy
statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and (b)
as to the shareholder giving the notice, (i) the name and address, as
they appear on the Corporation's stock transfer books, of such
shareholder and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation
which are beneficially owned by such shareholder.  At the request of the
Board of Directors any person nominated by the Board of Directors for
election as a director shall furnish to the Secretary of the Corporation
that information required to be set forth in a shareholder's notice of
nomination which pertains to the nominee.  No person shall be eligible
for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.14. The
chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and
declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with
the procedures prescribed by the Bylaws, and if he should so determine,
he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be
disregarded.

ARTICLE IV
Committees

4.1	Committees.  The Board of Directors may, by resolution
passed by a majority of the full Board of Directors, designate one or
more committees, each committee to consist of two or more of the
directors of the Corporation.  The Board of Directors may designate one
or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace
any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.  In
the absence or disqualification of a member of the committee, and in the
absence of a designation by the Board of Directors of an alternate
member to replace the absent or disqualified member, the members thereof
present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not
they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the
Board of Directors to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or
disqualified member.  Any such committee, to the extent permitted by law
and to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors,
shall have and may exercise all of the powers and authority of the Board
of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the
Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed
to all papers which may require it.  Each committee shall keep regular
minutes and report to the Board of Directors when required.

4.2	Committee Rules.  Unless the Board of Directors otherwise
provides, each committee designated by the Board of Directors may make,
alter and repeal rules for the conduct of its business.  In the absence
of such rules, each committee shall conduct its business in the same
manner as the Board of Directors conducts its business pursuant to
Article III of these Bylaws.

ARTICLE V
Officers

5.1	Classes.  The officers of the Corporation shall be chosen by
the Board of Directors and shall be a President (who shall be the Chief
Executive Officer of the Corporation unless the Board of Directors shall
expressly designate the Chairman of the Board, if any, as such), a
Secretary and a Treasurer.  Further, the Board of Directors may elect or
appoint a Chairman of the Board, a Vice Chairman, one or more Vice
Presidents (whose titles may be modified by words such as "Executive,"
"Senior,"  "Finance," "Operations" or words of similar ranking or
descriptive import), a Controller, Assistant Secretaries, Assistant
Treasurers and such other officers and assistants to offices as it from
time to time deems necessary.  Any two or more offices may be held by
the same person.  The Chairman of the Board, if any, the Vice-Chairman,
if any, and the President shall be directors of the Corporation.

5.2	Election and Term of Office.  The officers of the
Corporation shall be elected by the Board of Directors at its annual
meeting held after the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  If the election
of officers is not held at any such meeting, such election shall be held
as soon thereafter as is practicable.  Vacancies may be filled or new
offices created and filled at any meeting of the Board of Directors.
Each officer shall hold office until his successor is duly elected or
until his death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in
the manner hereinafter provided.

5.3	Removal and Resignations.  Any officer or agent elected or
appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed by the Board of
Directors whenever, in its judgment, the best interests of the
Corporation would be served thereby, but such removal shall be without
prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed.
Election or appointment of an officer or agent shall not of itself
create contract rights.  Any officer of the Corporation may resign at
any time by giving written notice to the President or Secretary of the
Corporation.  Any such resignation shall take effect at the time
specified therein or, if no time is specified, upon receipt thereof; and
unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation
shall not be necessary to make it effective.

5.4	Vacancies.  A vacancy in any office because of death,
resignation, removal, disqualification or otherwise may be filled by the
Board of Directors for the unexpired portion of the term.

5.5	Chairman of the Board of Directors.  The Chairman of the
Board of Directors shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders and
of the Board of Directors, subject to Sections 2.10 and 3.8 of these
Bylaws.  The Chairman of the Board (if expressly designated as Chief
Executive Officer) shall have general supervision over the entire
business of the Corporation.  Except where by law the signature of the
President is required, the Chairman of the Board (provided he is the
Chief Executive Officer) shall possess the same power as the President
to sign all contracts, certificates and other instruments of the

for transfer and payment of all necessary transfer taxes; or, in the
case of uncertificated shares of stock, upon receipt of proper transfer
instructions from the registered holder of the shares or by such
person's attorney lawfully constituted in writing, and upon payment of
any necessary transfer taxes and compliance with appropriate procedures
for transferring shares in uncertificated form; provided, however, that

precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost,

directors or officers of the Corporation may be entitled under any
statute, provision in the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation,
agreement or action of the Board of Directors or shareholders of the

ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation, and shall inure
to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a
person.

employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, employee, or
agent of another domestic or foreign corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted
against him and incurred by him in such capacity or arising out of his

Corporation Act.
