represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled
to vote thereat, present in person  or  by  proxy,  shall  have  power to
adjourn  the  meeting  from  time  to  time,  without  notice  other than
announcement  at  the  meeting (except as otherwise provided by statute),
until the requisite amount  of  voting  stock  shall be present.  At such

transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

          4.   At  all  meetings  of  the  stockholders  each stockholder

such meeting.  Except as otherwise expressly provided by statute,  by the
Certificate  of  Incorporation  or  by  these By-Laws, all matters coming
before any meeting of the stockholders shall  be decided by the vote of a
majority  of  the  number  of  shares  of  stock  present  in  person  or
represented  by  proxy at such meeting and entitled to  vote  thereat,  a
quorum being present.

          6.   Notice of each meeting of the stockholders shall be mailed
to each stockholder  entitled  to  vote thereat not less than 10 nor more
than 60 days before the date of the meeting.  Such notice shall state the
place,  date and hour of the meeting  and,  in  the  case  of  a  special
meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

          7.   Subject  to  such  rights  to  call  special  meetings  of
stockholders  under  specified circumstances as may be granted to holders
of  any shares of the Preferred  Stock  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of
Article  Fourth  of the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of
the stockholders may  be  called only by the Chairman of the Board or the
President of the corporation,  or at the request in writing or by vote of
a majority of the Board of Directors,  and not by any other persons.  Any
request for a special meeting made by the  Board of Directors shall state
the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.

          8.   Business  transacted  at  each special  meeting  shall  be
confined to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of such meeting.

          9.   The order of business at each  meeting of the stockholders
shall be determined by the chairman at such meeting.

          10.  At  an  annual  meeting  of  the stockholders,  only  such
business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting
(a)  by  or  at the direction of the Board of Directors  or  (b)  by  any
stockholder of  the  corporation  who complies with the notice procedures
set forth in this Section 10.  For business to be properly brought before
an  annual meeting by a stockholder,  the  stockholder  must  have  given
timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation.  To
be timely,  a  stockholder's  notice  must  be delivered to or mailed and
received at the principal executive offices of  the  corporation not less
than  60  days  nor  more  than  90 days prior to the meeting;  provided,
however, that in the event that less than 70 days' notice or prior public
disclosure of the date of the meeting  is  given or made to stockholders,
notice by the stockholder to be timely must  be  received  not later than
the  close  of  business on the 10th day following the day on which  such
notice of the date  of  the  annual  meeting  was  mailed  or such public
disclosure was made.  A stockholder's notice to the Secretary  shall  set
forth  as  to  each  matter  the stockholder proposes to bring before the
annual meeting (a) a brief description  of  the  business  desired  to be
brought  before  the  annual  meeting and the reasons for conducting such
business at the annual meeting,  (b) the name and address, as they appear
on the corporation's books, of the  stockholder  proposing such business,
(c)  the  class  and  number  of  shares  of  the corporation  which  are
beneficially owned by the stockholder and (d) any  material  interest  of
the  stockholder  in  such business.  Notwithstanding anything in the By-
Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting
except in accordance with  the  procedures  set forth in this Section 10.
The chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the  facts warrant, determine
and declare to the meeting that business was not properly  brought before
the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of the By-Laws,  and if
he  should  so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such
business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.
Notwithstanding   the   foregoing   provisions  of  this  Section  10,  a
stockholder  seeking to have a proposal  included  in  the  corporation's
proxy statement  shall  comply  with  the  requirements of Regulation 14A
under the Security Exchange Act of 1934, as  amended  (including, but not
limited to, Rule 14a-8 or its successor provision).

          11.  Only  persons  who  are nominated in accordance  with  the
procedures set forth in the By-Laws  shall  be  eligible  for election as
directors.  Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors
of the corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders  (a) by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) by any stockholder  of the
corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting
who  complies  with  the  notice procedures set forth in this Section 11.
Such nominations, other than  those  made  by  or at the direction of the
Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to
the Secretary of the corporation.  To be timely,  a  stockholder's notice
shall  be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal  executive
offices  of  the  corporation not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days
prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than
70 days' notice or  prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is
given or made to stockholders,  notice  by  the  stockholder to be timely
must be so received not later than the close of business  on the 10th day
following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting or such
public  disclosure was made.  Such stockholder's notice shall  set  forth
(a) as to  each  person  whom  the  stockholder  proposed to nominate for
election  or reelection as a director all information  relating  to  such
person that  is  required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for
election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to
Regulation 14A under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of 1934, as amended
(including  such  person's written consent to being named  in  the  proxy
statement as a nominee  and to serving as a director if elected); and (b)
as to the stockholder giving the notice (i) the name and address, as they
appear on the corporation's books, of such stockholder and (ii) the class
and number of shares of the  corporation  which are beneficially owned by
such stockholder.  At the request of the Board  of  directors  any person
nominated  by  the  Board  of  Directors for election as a director shall
furnish to the Secretary of the  corporation that information required to
be set forth in a stockholder's notice  of  nomination  which pertains to
the nominee.  No person shall be eligible for election as  a  director of
the  corporation  unless nominated in accordance with the procedures  set
forth in the By-Laws.   The  chairman  of the meeting shall, if the facts
warrant, determine and declare to the meeting  that  a nomination was not
made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the  By-Laws, and if
he  should  so  determine,  he  shall so declare to the meeting  and  the
defective nomination shall be disregarded.

          12.  Any action required  or  permitted  to  be  taken  by  the
stockholders  of the corporation must be effected at a duly called annual
or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent
in writing by such holders.


                            ARTICLE V

Directors

          1.   The  business  and  affairs  of  the  corporation shall be
managed  under the direction of a Board of Directors which  may  exercise
all such powers  and  authority  for  and on behalf of the corporation as
shall be permitted by law, the Certificate  of Incorporation or these By-
Laws.

          2.   The directors may hold their meetings and have one or more
offices,  and, subject to the laws of the State  of  Delaware,  keep  the
stock ledger and other books and records of the corporation, outside said
State, at such place or places as they may from time to time determine.

          3.   Subject to such rights to elect additional directors under
specified circumstances as may be granted to holders of any shares of the
Preferred Stock  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  Article Fourth of the
Certificate of Incorporation, the number of directors  of the corporation
shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors  but shall not
be less than three.  The directors, other those who may be elected by the
holders  of  any class or series of Preferred Stock, shall be classified,
with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three
classes, as nearly  equal  in  number  as  possible, as determined by the
Board  of  Directors,  one  class to hold office  initially  for  a  term
expiring at the annual meeting  of  stockholders  to  be  held  in  1987,
another  class to hold office initially for a term expiring at the annual
meeting of  stockholders  to  be  held in 1988, and another class to hold
office  initially  for  a  term  expiring   at   the  annual  meeting  of
stockholders to be held in 1989, with the members  of  each class to hold
office until their successors are elected and qualified.   At each annual
meeting  of stockholders, the successors of the class of directors  whose
term expires  at  that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term
expiring at the annual  meeting  of  stockholders  held in the third year
following the year of their election.

          4.   Subject to such rights to elect directors  under specified
circumstances as may be granted to holders of any shares of the Preferred
Stock pursuant to the provisions of Article Fourth of the Certificate  of
Incorporation, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in
the  number  of  directors  and  any  vacancies on the Board of Directors
resulting  from death, resignation, disqualification,  removal  or  other
reason shall  be  filled  solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of
the Board of Directors.  Any  director  elected  in  accordance  with the
preceding  sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full  term
of the class  of  directors  in which the new directorship was created or
the vacancy occurred and until  such director's successor shall have been
elected  and  qualified.   No  decrease   in   the  number  of  directors
constituting  the  Board  of  Directors shall shorten  the  term  of  any
incumbent director.

          5.   Any director may  resign  at  any  time  by giving written
notice of his resignation to the Board of Directors, the  Chairman of the
Board  or  the  President.   Any such resignation shall take effect  upon
receipt thereof by the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the President,
as the case may be, or at such  later  date  as may be specified therein.
Any such notice to the Board shall be addressed  to  it  in  care  of the
Secretary.


                            ARTICLE VI

Directors,  the  Board  may designate an Executive  Committee,  an  Audit
Committee, a Corporate Personnel  Committee, a Nominating Committee and a
Public Policy Committee, and may designate  one or more other committees,
each  such  committee  to  consist  of  one  or  more  directors  of  the
corporation.  The Executive Committee shall have and may exercise all the
powers and authority of the Board in the management  of  the business and
affairs  of  the  corporation (except as otherwise expressly  limited  by
statute) and may authorize  the  seal of the corporation to be affixed to
all papers which may require it.   The  Audit  Committee,  the  Corporate
Personnel   Committee,   the  Nominating  Committee,  the  Public  Policy
Committee and each such other committee shall have such of the powers and
authority  of  the  Board as  may  be  provided  from  time  to  time  in
resolutions adopted by  a  majority  of  the whole Board.  Each committee
shall report its proceedings to the Board when required.


                           ARTICLE VII

Compensation of Directors

          The  directors  shall  receive  such   compensation  for  their
services as may be authorized by resolution of the  Board  of  Directors,
which compensation may include an annual fee and a fixed sum and expenses
for  attendance  at  regular  or  special  meetings  of  the Board or any
committee  thereof.   Nothing  herein  contained  shall  be construed  to
preclude any director from serving the corporation in any  other capacity
and receiving compensation therefor.


                           ARTICLE VIII

Secretary  on like notice on the request  in  writing  of  any  director.
Except as may  be  otherwise  specifically  provided  by  statute, by the
Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws, the purpose or purposes
of any such special meeting need not be stated in such notice.

          3.   At all meetings of the Board of Directors the  presence of
a  majority  of  the  total  number  of directors shall be necessary  and
sufficient to constitute a quorum for  the  transaction of business, and,
except  as  otherwise  provided  by  statute,  by  the   Certificate   of
Incorporation  or  by these By-Laws, if a quorum shall be present the act
of a majority of the directors present shall be the act of the Board.

          4.   Any action  required  or  permitted  to  be  taken  at any
meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors or of any committee thereof may be
taken  without  a  meeting if all  the  members  of  the  Board  or  such
committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing and the writing
or writings are filed  with  the  minutes  of proceedings of the Board or
committee.  Any director may participate in a meeting of the Board, or of
any committee designated by the Board, by means of a conference telephone
or  similar  communications  equipment  by means  of  which  all  persons
participating in the meeting can hear each  other, and participation in a

Incorporation  or  by these By-Laws it is provided that notice  shall  be
given  to any director  or  stockholder,  such  provision  shall  not  be
construed  to  require  personal  notice, but such notice may be given in
writing, by mail, by depositing the  same  in  the  United  States  mail,
postage  prepaid, directed to such stockholder or director at his address
as it appears  on the records of the corporation, or, in default of other
address, to such  director  or  stockholder at the General Post Office in
the City of Wilmington, Delaware,  and  such notice shall be deemed to be
given  at  the time when the same shall be  thus  deposited.   Notice  of
special meetings  of  the  Board  of  Directors  may also be given to any

cable office.

          2.   Whenever  by  statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation
or by these By-Laws a notice is  required  to  be given, a written waiver
thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after
the  time  stated  therein,  shall  be  deemed  equivalent   to   notice.
Attendance  of  any  stockholder or director at any meeting thereof shall
constitute a waiver of  notice  of  such  meeting  by such stockholder or
director, as the case may be, except as otherwise provided by statute.

Indemnification of Corporate Personnel

          The corporation shall indemnify  any  person  who  is  or was a
director,  officer,  employee  or agent of the corporation, or is or  was
serving  at  the  request  of the corporation  as  a  director,  officer,
employee or agent of another  corporation,  partnership,  joint  venture,
trust   or   other   enterprise   as   provided  in  the  Certificate  of
Incorporation.  Expenses incurred by such  a  director, officer, employee
or  agent  in defending a civil or criminal action,  suit  or  proceeding
shall be paid  by  the  corporation  as  provided  in  the Certificate of
Incorporation.  The corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain
insurance  on  behalf of any such persons against any liability  asserted
against him or her  and  incurred  by him or her in any such capacity, or
arising out of his or her status as  such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under
the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.   The indemnification
provisions  of  this  Article  XXIV and the Certificate of  Incorporation
shall not be deemed exclusive of  any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification  may  be  entitled  under  any  applicable  law,  by-law,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

          The provisions of this Article XXIV and Article ELEVENTH of the
Certificate of Incorporation shall be deemed to be a contract between the
corporation  and  each  person  who serves  as  such  director,  officer,
employee or agent of the corporation  in  any  such  capacity at any time
while  this  Article  XXIV  and  Article  ELEVENTH of the Certificate  of
Incorporation are in effect.  No repeal or modification of the provisions
of  this  Article  XXIV  and  Article  ELEVENTH  of  the  Certificate  of
Incorporation  nor,  to  the  fullest  extent  permitted   by   law,  any
modification of law shall adversely affect any right or protection  of  a
director,  officer, employee or agent of the corporation then existing at
the time of  such repeal or modification.  The provisions of this Article
XXIV  of  the By-Laws  of  the  corporation  have  been  adopted  by  the
stockholders of the corporation.
