2001 (the "Effective Date"), each Forty (40) shares of the Corporation's  common

fractional share interests as described  below.  Each holder of a certificate or
certificates,   which  immediately  prior  to  the  Effective  Date  represented
outstanding shares of Old Common Stock (the "Old  Certificates,"  whether one or
more),  will be entitled to receive,  upon surrender of such Old Certificates to
the  Corporation's  exchange agent appointed by the  Corporation  (the "Exchange
Agent") for cancellation, a certificate or certificates (the "New Certificates,"
whether one or more)  representing  the number of whole shares of the New Common
Stock  into  which and for which the  shares of the Old  Common  Stock  formerly
represented by such Old Certificates so surrendered are  reclassified  under the

certificates  or scrip  representing  fractional  share  interests in New Common
Stock will be issued,  and no such  fractional  share  interest will entitle the
holder  thereof to vote, or to any rights of a shareholder  of the  Corporation.

In the event that the  Corporation's  exchange agent determines that a holder of
Old  Certificates  has not  tendered  all his  certificates  for  exchange,  the
exchange agent shall carry forward any fractional  share until all  certificates
of that holder have been  presented  for exchange and converted to whole shares,
rounded up to the nearest whole share. If any New Certificate is to be issued in
a name other than that in which the Old  Certificates  surrendered  for exchange
are issued,  the Old Certificates so surrendered  shall be properly endorsed and
otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the person or persons requesting such
exchange  shall  affix  any  requisite  stock  transfer  tax  stamps  to the Old
Certificates  so  surrendered,  provide funds for their purchase or establish to
the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such taxes are not payable.
