(2) The rate and times at which, and the terms and conditions on
which, dividends, if any, on Preferred Stock of such series shall be paid, the
extent of the preference or relation, if any, of such dividends to the

class of stock and whether such dividends shall be cumulative or non-
cumulative;
(3) The right, if any, of the holders of Preferred Stock of such
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;
(4) Whether or not Preferred Stock of such series shall be subject
to redemption, and the redemption price or prices and the time or times at

series of Preferred Stock or all series of Preferred Stock as 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 fixed in accordance with the
provisions of section (b) of this Article 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
of such resolution or resolutions as may be adopted by the Board of Directors
pursuant to section (b) of this Article Fourth, each holder of Common Stock

matters voted upon by the stockholders.

options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of any class or series
of stock or of other securities of the Corporation shall have any preemptive
right to purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock of any class or series
or any additional shares of any class or series to be issued by reason of
any increase of the authorized capital stock of the Corporation of any class
or series, or bonds, certificates of indebtedness, debentures or other
securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock of the Corporation of
any class or series, or carrying any right to purchase stock of any class or
series, but any such unissued stock, additional authorized issue of shares
of any class or series of stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for stock, or carrying any right to purchase stock, may be
issued and disposed of pursuant to resolution of the Board of Directors to
such persons, firms, corporations or associations, whether such holders or

(e) The relative powers, preferences and rights of each series of Preferred
Stock in relation to the relative powers, preferences and rights of each
other series of Preferred Stock shall, in each case, be as fixed from time
to time by the Board of
Directors in the resolution or resolutions 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
may, without a class or series vote, be increased or decreased from time to
time by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the 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, agent 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).

of the State of Delaware at such places as may be from time to time
