remaining  directors in office,  though less than a quorum,  by a majority vote,
may appoint any qualified person to fill such vacancy, who shall hold office for
the unexpired term and until his successor  shall be duly chosen.  If the office
of any  director  becomes  vacant  and there  are no  remaining  directors,  the
stockholders,  by the  affirmative  vote of the holders of a majority of all the
shares of stock  outstanding  and entitled to vote, at a special  meeting called

meeting for the purpose of organization  and the  transaction of business,  if a
quorum be present, immediately after the annual meeting of the stockholders;  or
the time and place of such meeting may be fixed by consent of all the directors.

     Except as otherwise provided herein,  regular meetings of the directors may
be held without notice at such places and times as shall be determined from time
to time by resolution of the directors.

Corporation,  the  removal  of any  member  of the  Executive  Committee  or the
alteration or repeal of this provision.

     Special  meetings of the board may be called by the  Chairman of the Board,
if any,  President or by the Secretary on the written request of any director on
at least two days' notice to each  director  (except that notice to any director

places as may be determined by the directors,  or as shall be stated in the call
of the meeting.

meeting  can  hear  each  other,  and  such  participation  in a  meeting  shall
constitute presence in person at the meeting.

     SECTION 7. QUORUM.  A majority of the directors  shall  constitute a quorum
for the  transaction of business.  If at any meeting of the board there shall be
less than a quorum present,  a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting
form time to time until a quorum is obtained, and no further notice thereof need
be given other than by  announcement at the meeting which shall be so adjourned.
The vote of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum
is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors  unless the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws shall require the vote of a greater number.

     SECTION 8. COMPENSATION.  Directors shall not receive any stated salary for
their  services as directors or as members of  committees,  but by resolution of
the board a fixed fee and expenses of attendance  may be allowed for  attendance
at each meeting.  Nothing  herein  contained  shall be construed to preclude any
director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity as an officer, agent
or otherwise, and receiving compensation therefor.

     SECTION 9. ACTION WITHOUT  MEETING.  Any action required or permitted to be
taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any  committee  thereof may
