                                  ARTICLE III

one or more Vice Presidents (any one or more of whom may be designated
Executive Vice President or Senior Vice President), a Treasurer, a Secretary
and, if the Board of Directors so elects, a Chairman of the Board and such
other officers as the Board of Directors may from time to time elect or
appoint.  Each officer shall hold office until his successor shall be duly
elected and shall qualify or until his death or until he shall resign or shall
have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided.  Any number of offices
may be held by the same person, unless the Certificate of Incorporation
provides otherwise.  Except for the Chairman of the Board, if any, no officer

Board of Directors may be removed, either with or without cause, by the vote of

notice for such meeting shall specify that the matter of any such proposed
removal will be considered at the meeting but such removal shall be without
prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed.  Election

have all the powers of and be subject to all the restrictions upon the
President.  In the absence of a designation by the Board of Directors of a Vice
President to perform the duties of the President, or in the event of his
absence or inability or refusal to act, the Vice President who is present and

of the chief executive officer and the Board of Directors; and he shall, if
required by the Board of Directors, give such bond for the faithful discharge
of his duties in such form as the Board of Directors may require.

         SECTION 10.      Each Assistant Treasurer shall have the usual powers
and duties pertaining to his office, together with such other powers and duties
as designated in these bylaws and as from time to time may be assigned to him
