sufficient  in  law to  support  an  irrevocable  power.  A  proxy  may be  made
irrevocable  regardless  of whether the interest  with which it is coupled is an

proxies  shall be filed with the  Secretary  of the meeting  before  being voted
upon.

in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of
outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be
necessary  to  authorize  or take such  action at a meeting  at which all shares

stockholders,  and its other books and  records,  and to make copies or extracts

person's interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other

distribution  or allotment of any rights,  or entitled to exercise any rights in
respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any
other lawful action,  the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date,

which the meeting is held.

                  (b) The record date for determining  stockholders  entitled to
express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting,  when no prior
action by the Board of  Directors  is  necessary,  shall be the day on which the
first written consent is expressed.

                  (c) The record date for determining stockholders for any other
purpose  shall be at the  close of  business  on the day on which  the  Board of
Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

                  (d) A  determination  of  stockholders  of record  entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment
of the meeting;  provided,  however,  that the Board of Directors  may fix a new
record date for the adjourned meeting.

         Section  5.  Dividends.  The Board of  Directors  may  declare  and pay
dividends upon the outstanding shares of the Corporation,  from time to time and

conditions provided by statute and the Certificate of Incorporation.

         Section 6.  Reserves.  Before  payment of any dividend there may be set
aside  out of the  net  profits  of the  Corporation  such  sum or  sums  as the
directors,  from time to time, in their absolute  discretion,  think proper as a
reserve  fund  to  meet  contingencies,  or  for  equalizing  dividends,  or for
repairing or  maintaining  any property of the  Corporation,  or  for such other

<PAGE>


purpose  as  the  directors  shall  think  conducive  to  the  interests  of the

copy thereof through the mail, or by telegram,  charges prepaid,  to his address
appearing on the books of the Corporation, or supplied by him to the Corporation
for the  purpose of notice.  If the notice is sent by mail or by  telegraph,  it
shall be deemed to have been given to the person entitled thereto when deposited
in the United States mail or with a telegraph  office for  transmission  to such
person. Such notice shall specify the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in
the case of a  special  meeting  of  stockholders,  the  general  nature  of the
business to be transacted.

         Section 4. Waiver Of Notice. Whenever any written notice is required by
statute,  or by the  Certificate  or the  Bylaws  of this  Corporation  a waiver
thereof in writing,  signed by the person or persons  entitled  to such  notice,
whether before or after the time stated therein,  shall be deemed  equivalent to
the  giving  of  such  notice.  Except  in the  case  of a  special  meeting  of
stockholders,  neither the business to be  transacted  at nor the purpose of the
meeting need be specified in the waiver of notice of such meeting. Attendance of
a person either in person or by proxy, at any meeting shall  constitute a waiver
of notice  of such  meeting,  except  where a person  attends a meeting  for the
express  purpose of objecting  to the  transaction  of any business  because the
meeting was not lawfully called or convened.


         Section 5.  Resignations.  Any director or other  officer may resign at

deem advisable and need not be verified by a Certified Public Accountant.


                    ARTICLE XI - INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

         Section 1. (a) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made
a party or is threatened  to be made a party or is involved in any action,  suit
or  proceeding,   whether  civil,  criminal,   administrative  or  investigative
(hereinafter a "proceeding") , by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person
of whom he or she is the legal representative,  is or was a director or officer,
of the  Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the  Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint  venture,  trust or other  enterprise,  including  service with respect to
employee  benefit plans,  whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action
in an  official  capacity as a  director,  officer,  employee or agent or in any
other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be
indemnified  and  held  harmless  by  the  Corporation  to  the  fullest  extent
authorized by the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent
that such amendment  permits the Corporation to provide broader  indemnification
rights  than  said  law  permitted  the  Corporation  to  provide  prior to such
amendment),  against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid
in  settlement)  reasonably  incurred or  suffered by such person in  connection
therewith and such indemnification  shall continue as to a person who has ceased
to be a director,  officer,  employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of
his or her heirs, executors and administrators;  provided, however, that, except
as provided in paragraph (b) hereof,  the  Corporation  shall indemnify any such
person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof)
initiated  by  such  person  only if  such  proceeding  (or  part  thereof)  was
authorized  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Corporation.  The  right  to
indemnification  conferred in this Section  shall be a contract  right and shall
include  the  right  to be paid by the  Corporation  the  expenses  incurred  in
defending  any such  proceeding in advance of its final  disposition:  provided,
however,  that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of
such  expenses  incurred  by a director  or officer in his or her  capacity as a
director or officer  (and not in any other  capacity in which  service was or is
rendered  by such  person  while  a  director  or  officer,  including,  without
limitation,  service  to an  employee  benefit  plan) in  advance  of the  final
disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation
of an  undertaking,  by or on behalf of such  director or officer,  to repay all
amounts so advanced if it shall  ultimately be determined  that such director or
officer is not entitled to be indemnified  under this Section or otherwise.  The
Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to
employees  and agents of the  Corporation  with the same scope and effect as the
foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.


<PAGE>


         (b) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under  paragraph (a) of
this Section is not paid in full by the  Corporation  within thirty days after a
written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time
thereafter  bring suit against the  Corporation  to recover the unpaid amount of
the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled
to be paid also the expense of prosecuting  such claim. It shall be a defense to
any such action  (other than an action  brought to enforce a claim for  expenses
incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final  disposition  where
the  required  undertaking,  if  any  is  required,  has  been  tendered  to the
Corporation)  that the claimant has not met the  standards of conduct which make
it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation law for the Corporation to
indemnify  the claimant for the amount  claimed,  but the burden of proving such
defense  shall be on the  Corporation.  Neither the  failure of the  Corporation
(including  its  Board  of  Directors,   independent   legal  counsel,   or  its
stockholders)  to have made a  determination  prior to the  commencement of such
action  that  indemnification  of the  claimant  is proper in the  circumstances
because he or she has met the  applicable  standard  of conduct set forth in the
Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation
(including  its  Board  of  Directors,   independent   legal  counsel,   or  its
stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard or conduct,
shall be a defense to the action or create a  presumption  that the claimant has
not met the applicable standard or conduct.

         (c)  Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  Notwithstanding  any limitation to the
contrary  contained  in  sub-paragraphs  (a)  and  (b)  of  this  section,   the
Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General
Corporation  Law of the  State  of  Delaware,  as the same  may be  amended  and
supplemented,  indemnify  any and  all  persons  whom it  shall  have  power  to
indemnify  under said  section  from and  against  any and all of the  expenses,
liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by said section,  and the
indemnification  provided for herein shall not be deemed  exclusive of any other
rights to which those  indemnified  may be entitled under any Bylaw,  agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise,  both as to action
in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office,  and  shall  continue  as to a person  who has  ceased  to be  director,
officer,  employee  or agent  and  shall  inure  to the  benefit  of the  heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.

         (d) Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense,
to  protect  itself  and  any  director,  officer,  employee  or  agent  of  the
Corporation or another corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust or other
enterprise  against  any such  expense,  liability  or loss,  whether or not the
Corporation  would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
