Directors may determine.
(c) (1) After the requirements with respect to preferential
dividends on the Preferred Stock (fixed in accordance with the
provisions of section (b) of this Article FOURTH), if any, shall have

winding-up, of the Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock

this Article FOURTH and the consent, by class or series vote or
otherwise, of the holders of such of the series of Preferred Stock as
are from time to time outstanding shall not be required for the 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.
7

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

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 in number as the then total number of directors
constituting the whole Board permits, with the term of office of one
class expiring each year. At the annual meeting of stockholders in
1982, directors of the first class shall be elected to hold office for a
term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting, directors of the
second 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.

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.
(d) Nominations for the election of directors may be made by the Board
of Directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote for the election of
directors. Such nominations shall be made by notice in writing,
delivered or mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid,
to the Secretary of the 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.

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.
(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.

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