which, dividends, if any, on Preferred Stock of such series shall be

series to convert the same into or exchange the same for, shares of any
other class or classes or of any series of the same or any other class or
classes of stock of the Corporation and the terms and conditions of such
conversion or exchange;

a class, to elect one or more directors of the Corporation if there shall
have been a default in the payment of dividends on any one or more series
of Preferred Stock or under such circumstances and on such conditions as
the Board of 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 been met and after the
Corporation shall have complied with all the requirements, if any, with
respect to the setting aside of sums as sinking funds or redemption or
purchase accounts (fixed in accordance with the provisions of section (b) of
this Article Fourth), and subject further to any conditions which may be

Fourth, then and not otherwise the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time
by the Board of Directors.
(2) After distribution in full of the preferential amount, if any,
(fixed in accordance with the provisions of section (b) of this Article
Fourth), to be distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock in the event
of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, distribution or sale of assets,
dissolution or winding-up, of the Corporation, the holders of the Common
Stock shall be entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the
Corporation, tangible and intangible, of
whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders ratably in
proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them
respectively.
(3) Except as may otherwise be required by law or by the provisions

securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock of the Corporation of

series, but any such unissued stock, additional authorized issue of shares

adopted pursuant to authority granted in section (b) of 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.
(f) Subject to the provisions of section (e), shares of any series of
Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time as the Board of Directors of
the Corporation shall determine and on such terms and for such consideration
as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors.
(g) Shares of Common Stock may be issued from time to time as the Board
of Directors of the Corporation shall determine and on such terms and for
such consideration as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors.
(h) The authorized amount of shares of Common Stock and of Preferred

stock of the 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 to time by vote of a majority of the whole Board, provided,
however, that the 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 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.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Charter or Act of
Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation (and notwithstanding the
fact that some lesser 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.
(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.
(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.
(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.
Sixth:--The Directors shall choose such officers, agents and servants as may
be provided in the By-Laws as they may from time to time find necessary or
proper.
Seventh:--The Corporation hereby created is hereby given the same powers,
rights and privileges as may be conferred upon corporations organized under
the Act entitled "An Act Providing a General Corporation Law", approved March
10, 1899, as from time to time amended.
Eighth:--This Act shall be deemed and taken to be a private Act.
Ninth:--This Corporation is to have perpetual existence.
Tenth:--The Board of Directors, by resolution passed by a majority of the
whole Board, may designate any of their number to constitute an Executive
Committee, which Committee, to the extent provided in said resolution, or in
the By-Laws of the Company, shall have and may exercise all of the powers of
the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the
Corporation, and shall have power to
authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may
require it.
Eleventh:--The private property of the stockholders shall not be liable for
the payment of corporate debts to any extent whatever.
Twelfth:--The Corporation may transact business in any part of the world.
Thirteenth:--The Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly
authorized to make, alter or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation by a vote
of the majority of the entire Board. The stockholders may make, alter or
repeal any By-Law whether or not adopted by them, provided however, that any
such 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 entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (considered for this purpose as one class).

Delaware at such places as may be from time to time designated by the Board,
