the Board of Directors;
(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

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;

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

series, or bonds, certificates of indebtedness, debentures
or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for

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

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.

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.

of the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of
the business and affairs of the Corporation, and shall have

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).
