incorporation, at all meetings of stockholders, the presence in person or by
proxy of the holders of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to cast
one-third of the votes to which the holders of all outstanding stock in the

the Preferred Stock, and in the absence of such quorum, either of the Preferred
Stock or of the Common Stock, a majority of the holders present, in person or by
proxy, of the class of stock which lacks a quorum, shall have power to adjourn
the meeting for the election of the Directors which they are entitled to elect,
from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until
a quorum shall be present.

may be, shall be determined, or as the time for the determination of the
stockholders entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution or rights or

fill the vacancy caused by the removal of a director, or for any other cause,

is present, at any special meeting called for that purpose or at any regular
meeting of the Board of Directors. Any such vacancy may also be filled by the
stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting held during the existence of such
vacancy, provided that the notice of such meeting shall have mentioned such
vacancy or expected vacancy. In the event that, because of a vacancy or
vacancies, the remaining directors are insufficient in number to constitute a

entitled to vote at a special meeting which shall be called forthwith by the
Board of Directors. If any vacancy shall occur by reason of the death,
resignation or otherwise of a director elected by a class vote and if such
vacancy is to be filled by vote of the stockholders, such vacancy shall be

directors at any time authorized by the by-laws shall be increased by the

 Section
1. Certificates of Stock. Every stockholder of the Corporation shall be entitled
to a certificate or certificates, signed by the President or a Vice President
and the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary and sealed with the seal of the Corporation, certifying the number and
class of shares of the stock of the Corporation owned by him; provided, however,
that where such certificates are signed by a transfer agent or a transfer clerk
and by a registrar, the signature of any President, Vice President, Treasurer,
Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary may be facsimile. In case
any such officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed
upon any such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such
certificate is issued, such certificate may be issued by the Corporation with
the same effect as if such officer had not ceased to be such at the date of its
issue. The seal of the Corporation on the certificate may be a printed or
engraved facsimile thereof. The certificates of shares of the stock of the
Corporation, whether temporary or definitive, shall be in such form as shall be
approved by the Board of Directors. The certificates for shares of stock shall
be consecutively numbered and the names and addresses of all persons owning
shares of capital stock of the corporation, with the number of shares owned by
each and the date or dates of issue of the shares of stock held by each, shall
be entered in books kept for that purpose by the proper officers or agents of
the Corporation.
 
 Section
2. Lost or Destroyed Certificates. Any person claiming that a certificate of
stock has been lost or destroyed shall make an affidavit or affirmation of that
fact, and shall, if required by the Board of Directors, advertise the same in
such manner as the Board of Directors may require, and shall give the
corporation and its transfer agents and registrars, if any, a bond of indemnity,
in an amount and form approved by the Board of Directors and with one or more
sureties satisfactory to the Board of Directors, to indemnify the Corporation
and its transfer agents and registrars, if any, against any liability or expense
which may be incurred by reason of the original certificate remaining
outstanding; whereupon a new certificate may be issued of the same tenor and for
the same number of shares as the one alleged to have been lost or destroyed; but
always subject to the approval of the Board of Directors and, if required by the
Board, a final order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction adjudicating
the right of any such person to receive a new certificate shall be obtained by
such person. A new certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when, in
the judgment of the Board of Directors, it is proper so to do.
 
 Section
3. Transfers of Shares of Stock. Shares of stock shall be transferable on the
books of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by his attorney
thereunto duly authorized but only upon the surrender and cancellation of the
certificate or certificates therefor. Except in cases of lost or destroyed
certificates, and in such cases only after conforming to the requirements of
Section 2 of this Article, no new certificates shall be issued until the former
certificates for the shares represented thereby shall have been surrendered and
cancelled. The corporation, and its transfer agents or clerks and registrars, if
any, shall be entitled to treat the owner of record of any share or shares of
stock as the owner in fact thereof and accordingly shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in, such share or shares
on the part of any other person, whether or not it has actual or other notice
thereof, except as expressly provided by the laws of the State of New
York.

registrar.
