either before or after the holding thereof, waives such notice.

     Section 5.  Record Dates.  The Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a

superseding the restrictions and limitations contained in the Articles of
Incorporation or in these By-Laws.

     At any election of Directors, the Board of Directors prior thereto may, or,
if they have not so acted, the Chairman of the meeting may, and upon the request
of the holders of ten per cent (10%) of the stock entitled to vote at such
election shall, appoint two inspectors of election who shall first subscribe an
oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspectors at such
election with strict impartiality and according to the best of their ability,
and shall after the election make a certificate of the result of the vote taken.
No candidate for the office of Director shall be appointed such Inspector.

Directors, the President nor any Vice-President is present, by a chairman to be
elected at the meeting.  The Secretary of the Corporation, if present, shall act
as Secretary of such meetings, or if he is not present, an Assistant Secretary
shall so act, if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present,
then the meeting shall elect its secretary.

of the stockholders, all proxies shall be received and taken in charge of and
all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting, who

that number of Directors named in the Articles of Incorporation, which number
may be increased or decreased as provided in Section 2 of this Article.  Each
director shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation next succeeding his election or until his successor is duly elected
and qualifies.  Directors need not be stockholders.

     Section 2.  Increase or Decrease in Number of Directors.  The Board of
Directors, by the vote of a majority of the entire Board, may increase the
number of Directors to a number not exceeding twenty, and may elect Directors to
fill the vacancies created by any such increase in the number of Directors until
the next annual meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualify;
the Board of Directors, by the vote of a majority of the entire Board, may
likewise decrease the number of Directors to a number not less than three.
Vacancies occurring other than by reason of any such increase shall be filled as
provided by the Maryland General Corporation Law.

     Section 3.  Place of Meeting.  The Directors may hold their meetings, have

as they may from time to time by resolution determine or as shall be specified

not less than one day before such meeting.  No notice need be given to any
Director who attends in person or to any Director who, in writing executed and
filed with the records of the meeting either before or after the holding
thereof, waives such notice.  Such notice or waiver of notice need not state the
purpose or purposes of such meeting.

     Section 6.  Quorum.  One-third of the Directors then in office shall

adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall have been obtained.

specifically provided by statute, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these
By-Laws.

     Section 7.  Executive Committee.  The Board of Directors may, by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board, elect from the Directors an
Executive Committee to consist of such number of Directors as the Board may from
time to time determine.  The Board of Directors by such affirmative vote shall
have power at any time to change the members of such Committee and may fill
vacancies in the Committee by election from the Directors.  When the Board of
Directors is not in session, the Executive Committee shall have and may exercise
any or all of the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the
business and affairs of the Corporation (including the power to authorize the
seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it) except
as provided by law and except the power to increase or decrease the size of, or
fill vacancies on the Board.  The Executive Committee may fix its own rules of
procedure, and may meet, when and as provided by such rules or by resolution of
the Board of Directors, but in every case the presence of a majority shall be
necessary to constitute a quorum.  In the absence of any member of the Executive
Committee the members thereof present at any meeting, whether or not they
constitute a quorum, may appoint a member of the Board of Directors to act in
the place of such absent member.

     Section 8.  Other Committees.  The Board of Directors, by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the entire Board, may appoint other committees which shall
in each case consist of such number of members (not less than two) and shall
have and may exercise such powers as the Board may determine in the resolution
appointing them.  A majority of all members of any such committee may determine
its action, and fix the time and place of its meetings, unless the Board of
Directors shall otherwise provide.  The Board of Directors shall have power at
any time to change the members and powers of any such committee, to fill
vacancies, and to discharge any such committee.

     Section 9.  Informal Action by Directors and Committees.  Any action
required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or
any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if a written consent to
such action is signed by all members of the Board, or of such committee, as the
case may be.

receive such compensation from the Corporation for their services as may from
time to time be voted by the Board of Directors.

action be taken pursuant to Section 9 of this ARTICLE if such action is required
to be taken under Section 15 of said Act by vote cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose.

     Section 12.  Power to Declare Dividends and/or Distributions.  The Board of
Directors, from time to time as it may deem advisable, may declare and pay

the Corporation, as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors out of
any source available for dividends and/or distributions, to the stockholders
according to their respective rights and interests in accordance with the

duties as the Board or the Executive Committee may determine.  The Board of
Directors may fill any vacancy which may occur in any office.  Any two offices,
except those of President and Vice-President, may be held by the same person,
but no officer shall execute, acknowledge or verify any instrument in more than
one capacity, if such instrument is required by law or these By-Laws to be
executed, acknowledged or verified by two or more officers.

     Section 2.  Term of Office.  The term of office of all officers shall be

endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of assignment and transfer, with
such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents
may reasonably require, in the case of shares not represented by certificates,
the same or similar requirements may be imposed by the Board of Directors.

     Section 3.  Stock Ledgers.  The stock ledgers of the Corporation,
containing the name and address of the stockholders and the number of shares
held by them respectively, shall be kept at the principal offices of the
Corporation or, if the Corporation employs a transfer agent, at the offices of
the transfer agent of the Corporation.

may determine the conditions upon which a new certificate of stock of the
Corporation of any class may be issued in place of a certificate which is
alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed; and may, in their discretion,
require the owner of such certificate or his legal representative to give bond,
with sufficient surety to the Corporation and the transfer agent, if any, to
indemnify it and such transfer agent against any and all loss or claims which
may arise by reason of the issue of a new certificate in the place of the one so
lost, stolen or destroyed.
