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

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

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)

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

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

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

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.

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
-8-
12
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.

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

of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and shall have power
