                     (FORM OF STOCK CERTIFICATE - BACK SIDE)

         The  Corporation  is  authorized to issue more than one class of stock,
including a class of preferred  stock which may be issued in one or more series.
The  Corporation  will  furnish to any  stockholder,  upon  written  request and
without charge, a full statement of the designations,  preferences,  limitations
and  relative  rights of the shares of each class  authorized  to be issued and,
with respect to the issuance of any preferred stock to be issued in series,  the
relative rights,  preferences and limitations  between the shares of each series
so far as the rights, preferences and limitations have been fixed and determined
and the  authority of the Board of Directors to fix and  determine  the relative
rights, preferences and limitations of subsequent series.

         The  Certificate  of  Incorporation  of  the  Corporation   includes  a
provision which generally prohibits any person (including an individual, company
or group acting in concert) from  directly or indirectly  offering to acquire or
acquiring  the  beneficial  ownership  of more  than 10% of any  class of equity
securities of the Corporation.  In the event that stock is acquired in violation
of this  10%  limitation,  the  excess  shares  will no  longer  be  counted  in
determining  the total number of  outstanding  shares for purposes of any matter
involving  stockholder  action and the Board of Directors of the Corporation may
cause such excess shares to be transferred to an independent trustee for sale in
the open market or  otherwise,  with the expenses of such sale to be paid out of
the proceeds of the sale.

         The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation contains provisions
that the affirmative  vote of at least 80% of the Voting Shares (as defined) may
be required to approve certain business combinations and other actions.
