            5. Dividends and Dividend Periods.

            A. The holders of Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock

of the Corporation, out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative cash
preferential dividends at the Dividend Rates per annum, on the dates, for the
periods and otherwise in the manner provided in this Section 5. Such

full for all previous Dividend Periods before the declaration, payment or
setting apart of any funds or assets for payment of any dividends on, or the
making of, or the setting apart of, any funds or assets for any distribution
with respect to, any class of Junior Stock, and before any purchase, redemption
or other acquisition of any class of Junior Stock or the setting apart of any
funds or assets for such purchase, redemption or acquisition. Each Share of
Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank on a parity with each share of
Other Outstanding Preferred Stock and with each other Share of Variable
Cumulative Preferred Stock, irrespective of Series, with respect to the
preferential dividends at the respective rate fixed for such Share, and no
preferential dividend shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any
Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock of any Series for any current
Dividend Period if dividends on any other Shares of Variable Cumulative
Preferred Stock or Other Outstanding Preferred Stock are accumulated and unpaid
for any prior dividend period or, in case of payment of dividend arrearages on
Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock or Other Outstanding Preferred Stock, unless
at the same time the Corporation shall also declare or pay or set apart for
payment, as the case may be, such amounts with respect to all such dividend
arrearages on all shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock and Other
Outstanding Preferred Stock so that all such shares shall share ratably in such
payment in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends in arrears on all
such shares to the date of payment. For purposes hereof, dividend accumulations
and arrearages do not include any dividends which have not yet become payable or
dividends for any Dividend Payment Date that has not occurred.

            B. Dividends on each Share of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock
shall accumulate from the first day of the Initial Dividend Period and shall be
payable on the last Dividend Payment Date with respect to each Dividend Period
applicable thereto, regardless of its length, and on each additional Dividend
Payment Date, if any, for such Share. The Dividend Rate for each Share of
Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock for the Initial Dividend Period shall be the
rate determined in accordance with the terms of the share of preferred stock of
J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated that was converted into such Share. Thereafter,
the determination of the duration of each Dividend Period with respect to each
Series of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock and the Dividend Rate and each
Dividend Payment Date for such Subsequent Dividend Period shall be determined by
either the Auction Method or the Remarketing Method.

            Subject to the limitations set forth below, either Dividend
Determination Method may be selected by the Method Selection Agent for a Series
of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock for any Subsequent Dividend Period with
respect to all the Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock of such Series
if such Method Selection Agent determines at the time of such selection, based
upon then-current Remarketing Conditions, that the Method so selected will be
<PAGE>   15
                                                                              15

the most favorable financing alternative for the Corporation. If more than one
entity is serving as Method Selection Agent for a Series, such entities shall
act in concert in performing their duties, provided that the notices referred to
herein may be given by one entity on behalf of all such entities. The Method
Selection Agent for any Series shall make such selection in a Notice of Method
Selection sent to holders of record of Shares of such Series by such Method
Selection Agent, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the address of each
such holder as the same appears on the stock register of the Corporation, not
less than seven Business Days prior to the first day of such Subsequent Dividend
Period. Copies of such Notice of Method Selection shall be delivered physically
or by telecopier or other written electronic communication to the Corporation
and the Trust Company or the Remarketing Agent, as the case may be, at the same
time they are transmitted to the record holders of Shares. Each Notice of Method
Selection will state the Method selected by the Method Selection Agent. If the
Method Selection Agent for a Series which are then SABRES selects the Auction
Method for any Subsequent Dividend Period, the Remarketing Agent for such Series
will establish Dividend Periods and Dividend Rates for Shares of such Series
until the Initial Auction Date in a manner that will best promote an orderly
transition to the Auction Method. Any Dividend Determination Method so selected
by the Method Selection Agent for a Series shall continue in effect for such
Series until the Method Selection Agent selects the other Method in the
aforesaid manner. Until a Method Selection Agent for any Series has been
appointed, the Dividend Determination Method will be the Auction Method.

            Any Notice of Method Selection with respect to any Subsequent
Dividend Period for any Series of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be
deemed to have been withdrawn if on or prior to the second Business Day
preceding the first day of such Subsequent Dividend Period the Corporation shall
have removed the Method Selection Agent for such Series, and in such event the
Corporation shall give a Notice of Removal to record holders of Shares of such
Series by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the address of each such holder
as the same appears on the stock register of the Corporation. If more than one
entity has been appointed and is acting as Method Selection Agent for that
Series, such Notice of Method Selection shall be deemed to have been withdrawn
only if the Corporation shall have removed all such entities; and the removal at
any time by the Corporation of one or more but not all such entities shall not
effect a deemed withdrawal of a Notice of Method Selection and in any such event
no Notice of Removal need be given. Copies of any Notice of Removal shall be
delivered physically or by telecopier or other written electronic communication
to the Trust Company or the applicable Remarketing Agent, as the case may be, at
the same time they are transmitted to the record holders of Shares. If the
Method Selection Agent for any Series resigns or is removed (or, in either case,
if more than one entity has been appointed and is acting as Method Selection
Agent for that Series, then all such entities), the Dividend Determination
Method applicable to such Series in effect at the time of such resignation or
removal will continue in effect until the Corporation appoints a successor
Method Selection Agent for such Series and such Method Selection Agent sends a
Notice of Method Selection. If, as a result of such resignation or removal of
the Method Selection Agent, the Dividend Determination Method for any Series
will continue to be the Auction Method, then the duration of the next succeeding
Dividend Period for such Series will be the Standard Auction Period.

            Any Method for a Series of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock
selected by the Method Selection Agent for such Series pursuant to a Notice of
Method Selection (except a
<PAGE>   16
                                                                              16

Notice of Method Selection that is deemed to be withdrawn) shall be conclusive
and binding on the Corporation and the holders of Shares of such Series. If the
Notice of Method Selection is not deemed to have been withdrawn, any Method so
selected by the Method Selection Agent for a Series will continue in effect for
that Series until such Method Selection Agent selects the other Method in the
aforesaid manner. No defect in the Notice of Method Selection or the Notice of
Removal of the Method Selection Agent or in the mailing thereof shall affect the
validity of any change in the Dividend Determination Method or any such
withdrawal or removal.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Method Selection Agent for a
Series shall not be entitled to change the Dividend Determination Method then
applicable to such Series if (i) at the time of an election that the Remarketing
Method apply to a Series, the Corporation has not appointed (and given notice or
taken such other action as may be necessary for the timely effectiveness of such
appointment) a Remarketing Agent, a Tender Agent and a SABRES Depositary for
such Series, (ii) at the time of an election that the Auction Method apply to a
Series, the Corporation has not appointed (and given notice or taken such other
action as aforesaid) a Trust Company, an Auction Stock Depositary and at least
one Broker-Dealer for such Series, or such election would result in more than
one Dividend Period for the Shares of such Series or (iii) at the time of any
such election, a Payment Failure has occurred and is continuing. Once the Method
Selection Agent for a Series shall have selected a Dividend Determination Method
for such Series for a Subsequent Dividend Period in the aforesaid manner, such
selection shall become effective on the last day of the Dividend Period(s) then
applicable to Shares of such Series notwithstanding any Payment Failure which
may occur after the delivery of the Notice of Method Selection by the Method
Selection Agent, the failure to remarket tendered Shares of SABRES of such
Series, in the case of the selection of the Remarketing Method, or the lack of
Sufficient Clearing Bids in the Auction for such Series, in the case of the
selection of the Auction Method.

            C. Each Dividend Period for Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred
Stock shall have a duration of not more than 30 years and not less than (i) 7
days in the case of MMP and (ii) 1 Business Day in the case of SABRES. Each
Dividend Period shall end on the day immediately preceding the first day of a
Subsequent Dividend Period.

            D. Each Subsequent Dividend Period for each Series of MMP will begin
on a Dividend Payment Date and, except as otherwise provided herein, the
duration of each Subsequent Dividend Period for each Series of MMP shall be the
Standard Auction Period, provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in
paragraph C of this Section 5, the applicable Term Selection Agent for such
Series may, except during the continuance of a Payment Failure, select the
duration of any Subsequent Dividend Period for Shares of MMP of such Series by
sending a Notice of Term Selection to all holders of record of Shares of MMP or
Converted SABRES of such Series, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the
address of each such holder as the same appears on the stock register of the
Corporation, not less than 7 Business Days nor more than 60 days prior to the
first day of such Subsequent Dividend Period. The Term Selection Agent for each
Series of MMP will establish Dividend Periods for such Series (and any
additional Dividend Payment Dates, and redemption dates and redemption prices)
that the Term Selection Agent determines will be the most favorable financing
alternative for the Corporation based upon the then-current Remarketing
Conditions. If more than one entity is serving as Term Selection Agent for a
Series, such entities shall act in concert in performing their duties,
<PAGE>   17
                                                                              17

provided that notices referred to herein may be given by one such entity on
behalf of all such entities. Each Notice of Term Selection shall state (i) the
length of the next succeeding Dividend Period, (ii) in the case of any Dividend
Period in excess of 99 days in duration, any Dividend Payment Date or Dates
selected by the Term Selection Agent in addition to the last Dividend Payment
Date with respect to such Dividend Period and (iii) any additional dates on
which Shares of MMP may be redeemed and the corresponding redemption prices
(which may not be less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per Share in the case
of Shares having a Dividend Period in excess of 364 days) determined by such
Term Selection Agent. In the absence of any Notice of Term Selection for a
Series of MMP with respect to a Subsequent Dividend Period, the duration of such
period shall be the Standard Auction Period. The Term Selection Agent for any
series of MMP may withdraw any Notice of Term Selection with respect to such
Series, if such Term Selection Agent determines that because of subsequent
changes in the Remarketing Conditions the duration of the Subsequent Dividend
Period specified in such Notice of Term Selection will not result in the most
favorable financing alternative for the Corporation, by sending a Notice of
Withdrawal to all holders of record of Shares of MMP or Converted SABRES of such
Series by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the address of each such holder
as the same appears on the stock register of the Corporation, by no later than
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the first day
of the applicable Subsequent Dividend Period.

            Any Notice of Term Selection with respect to any Series of MMP shall
be deemed to have been withdrawn if on or prior to the second Business Day
preceding the first day of the applicable Subsequent Dividend Period for such
Series, the Corporation shall have removed the Term Selection Agent for such
Series, and in such event the Corporation shall give a Notice of Removal to
record holders of Shares of such Series by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to
the address of each such holder as the same appears on the stock register of the
Corporation. If more than one entity has been appointed and is acting as Term
Selection Agent for that Series, such Notice of Term Selection shall be deemed
to have been withdrawn only if the Corporation shall have removed all such
entities; and the removal at any time by the Corporation of one or more but not
all such entities shall not effect a deemed withdrawal of a Notice of Term
Selection and in any such event no Notice of Removal need be given. If the Term
Selection Agent for any Series of MMP sends a Notice of Term Selection with
respect to any Subsequent Dividend Period for such Series and delivers a Notice
of Withdrawal with respect thereto or such Notice of Term Selection is deemed to
have been withdrawn, the duration of such Subsequent Dividend Period for such
Series will be the Standard Auction Period. In addition, if there is no Term
Selection Agent for any Series of MMP as a result of the resignation or removal
of all entities then serving as such, then the duration of each Subsequent
Dividend Period will be the Standard Auction Period until the Corporation shall
appoint a Term Selection Agent for such Series and such Term Selection Agent
shall send a Notice of Term Selection. Any Subsequent Dividend Period for a
Series of MMP established by the Term Selection Agent for such Series pursuant
to a Notice of Term Selection Agent for such Series pursuant to a Notice of Term
Selection (except a Notice of Term Selection that is deemed to be withdrawn) and
any withdrawal thereof pursuant to a Notice of Withdrawal shall be conclusive
and binding on the Corporation and the holders of Shares of such Series of MMP.

            Copies of any Notice of Term Selection, Notice of Withdrawal or
Notice of Removal shall be delivered physically or by telecopier or other
written electronic communication
<PAGE>   18
                                                                              18

to the Trust Company and the applicable Method Selection Agent by the Term
Selection Agent or the Corporation, as the case may be, at the same time they
are transmitted to the record holders of Shares of MMP. The Trust Company will
thereupon use its reasonable best efforts to provide copies of any such notice
to each Broker-Dealer for such Series as soon as practicable after receiving
such notice. No defect in any notice or in the mailing thereof shall affect the
validity of any change in the Dividend Period or any such withdrawal or removal.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Sufficient Clearing
Bids have not been made, so that the Dividend Rate for the next Dividend Period
for a Series of MMP is equal to the Maximum Rate, then the duration of the
Subsequent Dividend Period in respect of such Series of MMP shall be the lesser
of (i) the length of such Dividend Period as specified by the Term Selection
Agent in a Notice of Term Selection sent as described above, or (ii) the
Standard Auction Period.

            At all times prior to a Payment Failure, all Shares of MMP of a
Series will have a single Dividend Period and will accumulate dividends at a
single Dividend Rate. Except as provided in paragraph G of this Section 5, the
Dividend Rate per annum on the Shares of MMP of a Series for each Subsequent
Dividend Period shall be equal to the rate per annum that the Trust Company
advises the Corporation has resulted from an Auction for such Series. An Auction
for MMP of each Series to determine the Dividend Rate for each Subsequent
Dividend Period for such Series will be held on the Business Day immediately
preceding the first day of each such Subsequent Dividend Period.

            E. Each Subsequent Dividend Period for each Series of SABRES will
begin on a Dividend Payment Date, and except as otherwise provided in paragraphs
F and G of this Section 5, the duration of each Subsequent Dividend Period and
the Dividend Rate for each such Subsequent Dividend Period for each Share of
SABRES shall be established by the Remarketing Agent for such Shares pursuant to
the Remarketing Procedures, such determination to be conclusive and binding on
the Corporation and the holder of such Share of SABRES.

            F. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs D and E of this
Section 5, the Dividend Rate which results from the application of the Auction
Procedures or the Remarketing Procedures for any Subsequent Dividend Period for
any Share of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be greater than the
Maximum Rate for such Share (i) on the Auction Date, if such Share is MMP or
Converted SABRES, or (ii) on the day of Remarketing of such Share, if such Share
is SABRES or Converted MMP.

            G. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, the
application of the Auction Procedures and the Remarketing Procedures shall be
suspended during the continuance of a Payment Failure; and during such
continuance dividends will accumulate on the Shares of Variable Cumulative
Preferred Stock of all Series at Dividend Rates equal to two hundred percent
(200%) of the Applicable Determining Rate for successive Dividend Periods
commencing on and after the date such Payment Failure first occurred, or, in the
case of the Shares of any Series of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock so
called for redemption, for successive Dividend Periods commencing on and after
such redemption date, the duration of such Dividend Periods to be one Business
Day in the case of Shares of SABRES and the Standard Auction Period in the case
of Shares of MMP. In no event shall the Dividend Rate on
<PAGE>   19
                                                                              19

any Share of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock be adjusted prior to the end of
a Dividend Period for such Share. If no Payment Failure continues to exist at
the end of a Dividend Period, the application of the Auction Procedures and the
Remarketing Procedures shall be resumed.

            H. The Corporation shall pay to the Paying Agent not later than (i)
in the case of Dividend Periods of one Business Day, 4:00 P.M., New York City
time, and (ii) in the case of all other Dividend Periods, 12:00 noon, New York
City time, in each case, on the Business Day next preceding each Dividend
Payment Date for Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock, an aggregate
amount of funds available on the next Business Day in The City of New York, New
York, equal to all dividends to be paid to all holders of Shares of such
Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock on such Dividend Payment Date. All such
moneys shall be held in trust for the payment of such dividends by the Paying
Agent for the benefit of the holders.

            I. Each dividend shall be paid to the holders of record at their
respective addresses as the same appear on the stock register of the Corporation
on the Business Day next preceding the Dividend Payment Date relating to such
dividend. Dividends in arrears for any past Dividend Period may be declared and
paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date.

            J. The amount of dividends per Share accumulated on each Share of
Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock during any Dividend Period of less than 365
days shall be computed by multiplying the Dividend Rate for such Dividend Period
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in such
Dividend Period (calculated by counting the first day thereof and including the
last day thereof) and the denominator of which shall be 360, and multiplying One
Thousand Dollars ($1,000) by the rate so obtained. During any Dividend Period of
365 days or longer, the amount of dividends per Share accumulated on each Share
of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

            K. Each prospective purchaser of Shares of Variable Cumulative
Preferred Stock will be required to sign a Master Purchaser's Letter and deliver
such Master Purchaser's Letter (i) to a Broker-Dealer (who will deliver copies
thereof to the Trust Company) as a condition precedent to purchasing MMP or (ii)
to the applicable Remarketing Agent (who will deliver copies thereof to the
Tender Agent) as a condition precedent to purchasing SABRES.

            6. Auction Procedures.

      as to:

                  (a) the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series, if
            any, held by such Existing Holder which such Existing Holder desires
            to continue to hold for the next succeeding Dividend Period without

                                                                              20

                  (b) the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series, if
            any, that such Existing Holder desires to sell for the next
            succeeding Dividend Period if the rate determined by the Auction

            Existing Holder; and/or

                  (c) the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series, if
            any, held by such Existing Holder which such Existing Holder offers
            to sell without regard to the rate determined by the Auction

      MMP of such Series, if any, which each such Potential Holder offers to
      purchase, provided that the rate determined by the Auction Procedures for
      the next succeeding Dividend Period shall not be less than the rate per
      annum specified by such Potential Holder. For the purposes hereof, the
      communication to a Broker-Dealer of information referred to in paragraph
      A(1)(a), A(1)(b), or A(1)(c) or A(2) of this Section 6 is hereinafter

      offer to sell:

                  (a) the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series
            specified in such Bid if the rate determined by the Auction
            Procedures on such Auction Date shall be less than the rate
            specified therein; or

                  (b) such number or a lesser number of Outstanding Shares of
            MMP of such Series to be determined as set forth in paragraph

            Procedures on such Auction Date shall be equal to the rate specified
            therein; or

                  (c) a lesser number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such

            MMP of such Series as set forth in paragraph D(2)(c) of this Section
            6 if Sufficient Clearing Bids do not exist.

            (5) a Bid by a Potential Holder shall constitute an irrevocable
      offer to purchase:

                  (a) the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series

            Date shall be equal to the rate specified therein.

            B. Submission of Orders by Broker-Dealers to Trust Company.

                  (1) Each Broker-Dealer shall submit in writing to the Trust
            Company prior to the Submission Deadline on each Auction Date for a
            Series of MMP all Orders obtained by such Broker-Dealer and specify
            with respect to each Order:

                  (a) the name of the Bidder placing such Order;

                  (b) the aggregate number of Shares of MMP of such Series that
            are the subject of such Order;

                  (c) to the extent that such Bidder is an Existing Holder:

                        (i)   the number of Shares of MMP of such Series, if
                              any, subject to any Hold Order;

                        (ii)  the number of Shares of MMP of such Series, if
                              any, subject to any Bid and the rate specified in
                              such Bid; and

                        (iii) the number of Shares of MMP of such Series, if
                              any, subject to any Sell Order; and

                  (d) to the extent such Bidder is a Potential Holder, the rate
            specified in such Potential Holder's Bid.

            (2) If any rate specified in any Bid contains more than three
      figures to the right of the decimal point, the Trust Company shall round
      such rate up to the next highest one thousandth (.001) of 1%.
<PAGE>   22
                                                                              22

            (3) If an Order or Orders covering all of the Outstanding Shares of
      MMP of such Series held by any Existing Holder is or are not submitted for
      any reason to the Trust Company prior to the Submission Deadline, the
      Trust Company shall deem a Hold Order to have been submitted on behalf of
      such Existing Holder covering the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of
      such Series held by such Existing Holder and not subject to Orders
      submitted to the Trust Company, except that (i) a Sell Order will be
      deemed to have been submitted on behalf of an Existing Holder if an Order
      is not submitted on behalf of such Existing Holder in the case of an
      Auction for a Dividend Period of 365 days or more and (ii) a Sell Order
      will be deemed to have been submitted on behalf of a holder of Converted
      SABRES if an Order is not submitted on behalf of such holder.

            (4) If one or more Orders covering in the aggregate more than the
      number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series held by any Existing
      Holder are submitted to the Trust Company, such Orders shall be considered
      valid as follows and in the following order of priority:

                  (a) all Hold Orders shall be considered valid, but only up to
            and including in the aggregate the number of Shares of MMP of such
            Series held by such Existing Holder, and, if the number of Shares of
            MMP of such Series subject to such Hold Orders exceeds the number of
            Shares of MMP of such Series held by such Existing Holder, the
            number of Shares of MMP of such Series subject to each such Hold
            Order shall be reduced pro rata to cover the number of Shares of MMP
            of such Series held by such Existing Holder:

                  (b) (i) any Bid shall be considered valid up to and including
            the excess of the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series
            held by such Existing Holder over the number of Shares of MMP of
            such Series subject to any Hold Order referred to in paragraph
            B(4)(a) above,

                        (ii)  subject to paragraph B(4)(b)(i) above, if more
                              than one Bid with the same rate is submitted on
                              behalf of such Existing Holder and the number of
                              Shares of MMP of such Series subject to such Bids
                              is greater than such excess then such Bids shall
                              be considered valid up to the amount of such
                              excess, and the number of Shares of MMP of such
                              Series subject to each Bid with the same rate
                              shall be reduced pro rata to cover the number of
                              Shares of MMP of such Series equal to such excess,
                              and

                        (iii) subject to paragraphs B(4)(b)(i) and (ii) above,
                              if more than one Bid with different rates is
                              submitted on behalf of such Existing Holder, such
                              Bids shall be considered valid in the ascending
                              order of their respective rates up to the amount
                              of such excess, and

                        (iv)  in any such event the number, if any, of such
                              Shares of MMP of such Series subject to Bids not
                              valid under this
<PAGE>   23
                                                                              23

                              paragraph B(4)(b) shall be treated as the subject
                              of a Bid by a Potential Holder; and

                  (c) all Sell Orders shall be considered valid but only up to
            and including in the aggregate the excess of the number of
            Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series held by such Existing
            Holder over the sum of the Shares of MMP of such Series subject to
            Hold Orders referred to in paragraph B(4)(a) and valid Bids by
            Existing Holders referred to in paragraph B(4)(b) above.

            (5) If more than one Bid is submitted on behalf of any Potential
      Holder, each Bid submitted shall be a separate Bid with the rate therein
      specified.

            C. Determination of Sufficient Clearing Bids, Winning Bid Rate and
Dividend Rate.

            (1) Not earlier than the Submission Deadline on each Auction Date
      for a Series of MMP, the Trust Company shall assemble all Orders submitted
      or deemed submitted to it by Broker-Dealers (each such Order as submitted
      or deemed submitted by a Broker-Dealer being hereinafter referred to
      individually as a "Submitted Hold Order," a "Submitted Bid" or a
      "Submitted Sell Order," as the case may be, or as a "Submitted Order" and
      collectively as "Submitted Hold Orders," "Submitted Bids" or "Submitted
      Sell Orders," as the case may be, or as "Submitted Orders") and shall
      determine:

                  (a) the excess of the total number of Outstanding Shares of
            MMP of such Series over the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of
            such Series that are the subject of Submitted Hold Orders (such
            excess being hereinafter referred to as the "Available Shares");

                  (b) From the Submitted Orders whether the number of
            Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series that are the subject of
            Submitted Bids by Potential Holders specifying one or more rates
            equal to or lower than the Maximum Rate exceeds or is equal to the
            sum of:

                        (i)   the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such
                              Series that are the subject of Submitted Bids by
                              Existing Holders specifying one or more rates
                              higher than the Maximum Rate, and

                        (ii)  the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such
                              Series that are subject to Submitted Sell Orders
                              (in the event of such excess or such equality,
                              other than because the number of Shares of MMP of
                              such Series in paragraphs C(1)(b)(i) and
                              C(1)(b)(ii) above is zero because all of the
                              Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series are the
                              subject of Submitted Hold Orders, such Submitted
                              Bids in this paragraph (b) being hereinafter
                              referred to collectively as "Sufficient Clearing
                              Bids"), and
<PAGE>   24
                                                                              24

                  (c) if Sufficient Clearing Bids exist, the lowest rate
            specified in the Submitted Bids (the "Winning Bid Rate") which if:

                        (i)   (A) each Submitted Bid from Existing Holders
                              specifying such lowest rate and (B) all other
                              Submitted Bids from Existing Holders specifying
                              lower rates were rejected, thus entitling such
                              Existing Holders to continue to hold the Shares of
                              MMP of such Series that are the subject of such
                              Submitted Bids, and

                        (ii)  (A) each Submitted Bid from Potential Holders
                              specifying such lowest rate and (B) all other
                              Submitted Bids from Potential Holders specifying
                              lower rates were accepted, thus entitling the
                              Potential Holders to purchase the Shares of MMP of
                              such Series that are the subject of those
                              Submitted Bids, would result in such Existing
                              Holders described in paragraph C(1)(c)(i) above
                              continuing to hold an aggregate number of
                              Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series which,
                              when added to the number of Outstanding Shares of
                              MMP of such Series to be purchased by such
                              Potential Holders described in paragraph
                              C(1)(c)(ii) above would equal not less than the
                              Available Shares.

            (2) Promptly after the Trust Company has made the determinations
      pursuant to paragraph C(1) above, the Trust Company shall advise the
      Corporation of the Applicable Determining Rate and the Maximum Rate and,
      based on such determinations, the Dividend Rate for the next succeeding
      Dividend Period as follows:

                  (a) if Sufficient Clearing Bids exist, that the Dividend Rate
            for the next succeeding Dividend Period shall be equal to the
            Winning Bid Rate so determined;

                  (b) if Sufficient Clearing Bids do not exist (other than
            because all of the Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series of a
            Series are the subject of Submitted Hold Orders), that the Dividend
            Rate for the next succeeding Dividend Period shall be the Maximum
            Rate; or

                  (c) if all of the Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series are
            the subject of Submitted Hold Orders, the Dividend Rate for the next
            succeeding Dividend Period shall be equal to fifty-eight per cent
            (58%) of the Applicable Determining Rate.

            D. Acceptance and Rejection of Submitted Bids and Submitted Sell
Orders and Allocation of Shares in an Auction. Based on the determinations made
pursuant to paragraph C(l) above, the Submitted Bids and the Submitted Sell
Orders shall be accepted or rejected and the Trust Company shall take such other
action as set forth below:
<PAGE>   25
                                                                              25

      (1) If Sufficient Clearing Bids have been made, Submitted Bids and
Submitted Sell Orders shall be accepted or rejected as follows in the following
order of priority and all other Submitted Bids shall be rejected, subject to the
Rounding Procedures:

            (a) the Submitted Sell Orders of Existing Holders shall be accepted
      and the Submitted Bids of each of the Existing Holders specifying any rate
      that is higher than the Winning Bid Rate shall be accepted, thus requiring
      each such Existing Holder to sell the Shares of MMP of such Series that
      are the subject of such Submitted Bids;

            (b) the Submitted Bids of each of the Existing Holders specifying
      any rate that is lower than the Winning Bid Rate shall be rejected, thus
      requiring each such Existing Holder to continue to hold the Shares of MMP
      of such Series that are the subject of such Submitted Bids;

            (c) the Submitted Bids of each of the Potential Holders specifying
      any rate that is lower than the Winning Bid Rate shall be accepted;

            (d) the Submitted Bids of each of the Existing Holders specifying a
      rate that is equal to the Winning Bid Rate shall be rejected, thus
      requiring each such Existing Holder to continue to hold the Shares of MMP
      of such Series that are the subject of such Submitted Bids, unless the
      number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series subject to all such
      Submitted Bids shall be greater than the number of Shares ("Remaining
      Shares") equal to the excess of the Available Shares over the number of
      Shares of MMP of such Series subject to Submitted Bids described in
      paragraphs D(1)(b) and D(1)(c) above, in which event the Submitted Bids of
      each such Existing Holder shall be rejected in part, and each such
      Existing Holder shall be required to continue to hold Shares of MMP of
      such Series, but only in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the
      number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series then held by such
      Existing Holder subject to such Submitted Bids and (B) the number of
      Shares of MMP of such Series obtained by multiplying the number of
      Remaining Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number
      of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series held by such Existing Holder
      subject to such Submitted Bids, and the denominator of which shall be the
      sum of the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series subject to
      such Submitted Bids made by all such Existing Holders that specified a
      rate equal to the Winning Bid Rate; and

            (e) the Submitted Bids of each of the Potential Holders specifying a
      rate that is equal to the Winning Bid Rate shall be accepted but only in
      an amount equal to the number of Shares of MMP of such Series obtained by
      multiplying the difference between the Available Shares and the number of
      Shares of MMP of such Series subject to Submitted Bids described in
      paragraphs D(1)(b), D(1)(c) and D(1)(d) above by a fraction, the numerator
      of which shall be the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series
      subject to such Submitted Bids, and the denominator of which shall be the
      sum of the number of Outstanding Shares
<PAGE>   26
                                                                              26

            of MMP of such Series subject to such Submitted Bids made by all
            such Potential Holders that specified a rate equal to the Winning
            Bid Rate.

            (2) If Sufficient Clearing Bids have not been made (other than
      because all of the Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series are subject to
      Submitted Hold Orders), Submitted Orders shall be accepted or rejected as
      follows in the following order of priority and all other Submitted Bids
      shall be rejected, subject to the Rounding Procedures:

                  (a) the Submitted Bids of each Existing Holder specifying any
            rate that is equal to or lower than the Maximum Rate shall be
            rejected, thus requiring such Existing Holder to continue to hold
            the Shares of MMP of such Series that are the subject of such
            Submitted Bids;

                  (b) the Submitted Bids if each Potential Holder specifying any
            rate that is equal to or lower than the Maximum Rate shall be
            accepted; and

                  (c) the Submitted Bids of each Existing Holder specifying any
            rate that is higher than the Maximum Rate shall be accepted and the
            Submitted Sell Orders of each Existing Holder shall be accepted,
            thus entitling each Existing Holder that submitted any such
            Submitted Bid or Submitted Sell Order to sell the Shares of MMP of
            such Series subject to Submitted Bid or Submitted Sell Order, but,
            in both cases only in an amount equal to the difference between (A)
            the number of Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series then held by
            such Existing Holder subject to such Submitted Bids or Submitted
            Sell Orders and (B) the number of Shares of MMP of such Series
            obtained by multiplying the difference between the Available Shares
            and the aggregate number of Shares of MMP of such Series subject to
            Submitted Bids described in paragraphs D(2)(a) and D(2)(b) above by
            a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
            Outstanding Shares of MMP of such Series held by such Existing
            Holder subject to such Submitted Bids or Submitted Sell Orders, and
            the denominator of which shall be the number of Outstanding Shares
            of MMP of such Series subject to all such Submitted Bids and
            Submitted Sell Orders.

            7. Remarketing Procedures.

            A. Determination of Dividend Periods and Rates for Remarketed Stock.
Subject to paragraphs F and G of Section 5 hereof, the duration of each
Subsequent Dividend Period, and the Dividend Rate for each Subsequent Dividend
Period, will be established by the Remarketing Agent for each Share of SABRES
and will be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and the holder of such
Share of SABRES. Each Remarketing Agent will establish Dividend Rates (which
shall not exceed the Maximum Rate) for each Dividend Period for such Share of
SABRES which it shall determine will be the lowest rate at which tendered Shares
of SABRES would be remarketed at One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per Share. In
establishing each Dividend Period and Dividend Rate, each Remarketing Agent will
select Dividend Periods and Dividend Rates which it shall determine will result
in the most favorable financing alternative for the Corporation based on the
then-current Remarketing Conditions. The Shares of SABRES will
<PAGE>   27
                                                                              27

be remarketed and traded only in Units. All the Shares of SABRES in a Unit will
have the same Dividend Rate and Dividend Period.

            B. Remarketing; Tender for Remarketing. The following procedures
shall be applicable to each Remarketed Share:

            (1) The Remarketing Agent. The Corporation shall take all reasonable
      action necessary so that, at all times when a Series of SABRES or
      Converted MMP is outstanding, one or more investment banks, brokers,
      dealers or other organizations qualified to remarket Shares of SABRES and
      to establish Dividend Periods and Dividend Rates as herein provided shall
      act as Remarketing Agent for each Share of SABRES of such Series. Each
      Remarketing Agent shall use its best efforts to remarket all Shares of
      SABRES, on behalf of the holders thereof, tendered for sale by Remarketing
      for which it is acting as Remarketing Agent without charge to such holder,
      only at $1,000 per Share, provided that no such Remarketing Agent shall be
      obligated to remarket such Shares if there shall be a material
      misstatement or omission in any disclosure document provided by the
      Corporation and used in connection with the Remarketing of such Share or
      at any time such Remarketing Agent shall have determined that it is not
      advisable to remarket such Share by reason of: (i) a material adverse
      change in the financial condition of the Corporation, (ii) a banking
      moratorium, (iii) domestic or international hostilities, (iv) an amendment
      of the provisions hereof which materially and adversely changes the nature
      of the Shares of SABRES or the Remarketing Procedures or (v) a Payment
      Failure. Any Remarketing Agent may purchase tendered Shares for its own
      account. Should the Remarketing Agent for any Share of SABRES not succeed
      in Remarketing all such Shares of SABRES so tendered for Remarketing on
      any date, such Remarketing Agent shall select the Shares of such SABRES to
      be sold from those tendered pro rata or in such other manner as it shall
      deem appropriate so that each owner shall beneficially own Shares of
      SABRES of a Series only in Units. Payments for Shares of SABRES remarketed
      shall be made by the Tender Agent by crediting such payments to the
      accounts of the holders thereof maintained by the Tender Agent or, to the
      extent duly requested by holders, by wire or other transfer in immediately
      available funds to their accounts with commercial banks in the United
      States, but, in either case, only upon surrender to the Tender Agent of
      the certificates representing such Shares of SABRES, properly endorsed for
      transfer. If for any reason a Share of SABRES tendered for Remarketing is
      not remarketed in the applicable Remarketing, such Share will be retained
      by its holder. Until remarketed each such Share of SABRES will have
      successive Dividend Periods of one Business Day and will be entitled to
      dividends, payable daily, at the Maximum Rate.

            (2) Notice of Shares To Be Retained. Each Share of SABRES or
      Converted MMP shall be deemed to have been tendered to the Tender Agent
      for sale by Remarketing on the Business Day immediately preceding the
      first day of each Subsequent Dividend Period applicable thereto, unless
      the holder thereof shall have given irrevocable notice otherwise to the
      Remarketing Agent for such Share of SABRES or Converted MMP or, if so
      instructed by such Remarketing Agent, to the Tender Agent. Such notice,
      which may be telephonic or written, must be delivered to such agent prior
      to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Business Day or on such earlier
      day specified in
<PAGE>   28
                                                                              28

      a notice, if any, mailed by the Tender Agent at the direction of such
      Remarketing Agent to such record holder at its address as the same appears
      on the stock register of the Corporation, which day shall be a Business
      Day at least four Business Days after the mailing of such notice. The
      notice from such holder of an election to retain Shares of SABRES shall
      state (i) the number of the certificate representing the Shares of SABRES
      not to be deemed to have been so tendered, unless such certificate is held
      by the SABRES Depositary, (ii) the number of Shares of SABRES represented
      by such certificate or, in the case of Shares of SABRES held by the SABRES
      Depositary, the number of Shares so held, and (iii) the number of such
      Shares of SABRES which shall be deemed not to have been so tendered. An
      owner may tender Shares of SABRES or Converted MMP of a Series only in
      Units.

            (3) Shares Deemed To Have Been Tendered. The failure to give notice
      with respect to any Share of SABRES or Converted MMP as provided in
      paragraph B(2) above shall constitute the irrevocable tender for
      Remarketing of such Share. Certificates representing Shares so tendered
      and remarketed shall be issued to the purchasers thereof or to the SABRES
      Depositary, irrespective of whether the certificates formerly representing
      such Shares shall have been delivered to the Tender Agent. A holder which
      has not given notice that it will retain Shares of SABRES or Converted MMP
      shall have no further rights with respect to such Shares upon the
      Remarketing of such Shares, except the right to receive any previously
      declared but unpaid dividends thereon and the proceeds of the Remarketing
      of such Shares (but only upon surrender of the certificates representing
      such Shares to the Tender Agent properly endorsed for transfer, in the
      case of a holder which has taken physical delivery of a Share
      certificate). At any time, any or all Units of SABRES of a Series may have
      Dividend Periods of various lengths. Depending on Remarketing Conditions
      at the time of Remarketing, any or all Units of SABRES of a Series may
      have different Dividend Rates, including those set on the same day for
      Dividend Periods of equal length.

            (4) Funds for Purchase of Shares. Shares of SABRES tendered for
      Remarketing as provided in this Section 7 shall be purchased, and payments
      to the holders for Shares of SABRES remarketed will be made, solely from
      the proceeds received from the purchasers of such Shares in a Remarketing.
      Neither the Corporation, the Tender Agent nor any Remarketing Agent shall
      be obligated to provide funds to make payment to the holders of Shares so
      tendered.

            C. The Remarketing Process. The Remarketing process will be
conducted on the following schedule and in the following manner (all times are
New York City Time):

            The Business Day Immediately Preceding the First Day of each
Subsequent Dividend Period (or such other time and day as may have been
specified in a notice mailed to the holders of Shares of SABRES or Converted
MMP):

            Beginning Not Later Than 1:00 P.M. The Remarketing Agent for the
Shares then being remarketed will determine and, upon request, make available to
all interested persons non-binding indications of Dividend Periods and Dividend
Rates based upon then-current Remarketing Conditions. Each holder may obtain a
binding commitment as to the specific
<PAGE>   29
                                                                              29

Dividend Period or Dividend Periods and the related Dividend Rate or Dividend
Rates which will be applicable to such holder's Shares.

            At 3:00 P.M. Holders of Shares of SABRES and Converted MMP will be
deemed to have tendered Shares for sale by Remarketing at $1,000 per Share and
only in Units unless they have given contrary instructions to the Remarketing
Agent for such Shares or, if so instructed by such Remarketing Agent, to the
Tender Agent.

            After 3:00 P.M. The applicable Remarketing Agent will solicit and
receive orders from prospective investors to purchase tendered Shares of SABRES.
A purchaser, at the time of its agreement to purchase Shares of SABRES, may
obtain a binding commitment as to the specific Dividend Period or Dividend
Periods and the related Dividend Rate or Dividend Rates for such Shares of
SABRES based upon then-current Remarketing Conditions.

            The First Day of such Subsequent Dividend Period (always a
Business Day):

            Opening of Business. The applicable Remarketing Agent will continue,
if necessary, Remarketing Shares of SABRES.

            By 1:00 P.M. The applicable Remarketing Agent will have completed
Remarketing and will advise the Tender Agent as to the Dividend Rate and
Dividend Period applicable to each Share of SABRES commencing a Dividend Period
on that day and of any failure to remarket.

            By 2:30 P.M. New holders must deliver the purchase price as
instructed by the applicable Remarketing Agent. Former holders will be paid the
proceeds of the Remarketing of their Shares by the Tender Agent (upon surrender
of their certificates, if applicable).

            8. Miscellaneous.

            A. The Board of Directors may interpret the provisions hereof to
resolve any inconsistency or ambiguity which may arise or be revealed in
connection with the Auction Procedures or the Remarketing Procedures provided
for herein.

            B. So long as the Dividend Rate is based on the results of an
Auction, an Existing Holder (i) may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
Shares of MMP of such Series only pursuant to a Bid or Sell Order in accordance
with the Auction Procedures or to or through a Broker-Dealer or to a Person that
shall have delivered, or has caused to be delivered, a signed copy of a Master
Purchaser's Letter to the Trust Company, provided that in the case of all
transfers other than pursuant to Auctions, such Existing Holder, its Agent
Member or its Broker-Dealer advises the Trust Company of such transfer, and (ii)
shall have the ownership of the Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock of
the Series held by it maintained in book entry form by the Auction Stock
Depositary in the account of its Agent Member, which in turn will maintain
records of such Existing Holder's beneficial ownership. Any transfer of Shares
of MMP in violation of the terms of a Master Purchaser's Letter may affect the
right of the Person acquiring such Shares to participate in Auctions.
<PAGE>   30
                                                                              30

            C. Each Remarketing Agent will be required to register on a list
maintained pursuant to a Remarketing Agreement a transfer of Shares of SABRES
for which it is the Remarketing Agent from a holder to another person only if
such transfer is made to a person that has delivered a signed Master Purchaser's
Letter to such Remarketing Agent and if (i) such transfer is pursuant to a
Remarketing or (ii) such Remarketing Agent has been notified in writing (A) by
such holder of such transfer or (B) by any person that purchased or sold such
Shares in a Remarketing of the failure of such Shares to be delivered or paid
for, as the case may be, in connection with such Remarketing. A Remarketing
Agent is not required to register a transfer of Shares of SABRES pursuant to
clause (ii) above on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the
first day of a Subsequent Dividend Period for such Shares unless it receives the
written notice required by such clause (ii) by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the second Business Day preceding the first day of such Subsequent Dividend
Period. Such Remarketing Agent will rescind a transfer registered on such list
as a result of a Remarketing if the Remarketing Agent is notified in writing of
the failure of Shares to be delivered or paid for as required. Any transfer of
Shares of SABRES made in violation of the terms of a Master Purchaser's Letter
may affect the right of the Person acquiring such Shares to participate in
Remarketings.

            D. The Corporation or any Affiliate of the Corporation may acquire,
hold or dispose of Shares of SABRES. As at the date of this Certificate of
Designations, the Corporation anticipates, subject to such limitations as it and
the Remarketing Agent may agree, that it and its Affiliates will purchase Shares
of SABRES during Remarketings only after 3:00 P.M. on the Business Day
immediately preceding the first day of each Subsequent Dividend Period and only
at Dividend Rates and for Dividend Periods established by the Remarketing Agents
without regard to such offers by the Corporation or its Affiliates and will
tender Shares of SABRES for Remarketing only upon at least ten days' prior
notice to the Remarketing Agents. In the event that the Corporation or its
Affiliates purchase Shares of SABRES for their respective accounts, all Shares
of the same Series of SABRES tendered by other owners, including any such Shares
of SABRES owned by a Remarketing Agent, will be remarketed before the
Remarketing of any such Shares of SABRES of such Series owned by the Corporation
or its Affiliates. If any Shares of SABRES tendered for Remarketing are not
sold, any Shares of SABRES of the same Series tendered for Remarketing by the
Corporation or an Affiliate of the Corporation, up to the number of such Shares
not so sold, will be deemed not to have been so tendered. If the Method of
determining the Dividend Rate for some or all of the Series of SABRES were to be
changed from the Remarketing Method to the Auction Method, the Corporation or
any Affiliate of the Corporation may submit Sell Orders in an Auction with
respect to the Converted SABRES created thereby.

            Neither the Corporation nor any Affiliate thereof may submit an
Order in an Auction, except a Sell Order and, in the case of an Affiliate which
is then acting as a Broker-Dealer, Orders on behalf of Existing Holders or
Potential Holders not for its own account.

            E. The Trust Company shall reject any Submitted Order of the
Corporation or an Affiliate, except for Sell Orders and Orders of affiliated
Broker-Dealers permitted under paragraph D of this Section 8.
<PAGE>   31
                                                                              31

            F. If (i) a Payment Failure shall have occurred or (ii) the Auction
Stock Depositary shall resign and the Corporation shall not have selected a
substitute Auction Stock Depositary reasonably acceptable to the Trust Company
prior to such resignation, Shares of MMP of each Series may be registered for
transfer or exchange and new certificates issued upon surrender of the older
certificates in form deemed by the Trust Company properly endorsed for transfer
with all necessary endorsers' signatures guaranteed in such manner and form as
the Trust Company may require by a guarantor reasonably believed by the Trust
Company to be responsible, accompanied by such assurances as the Trust Company
shall deem necessary or appropriate to evidence the genuineness and
effectiveness of each necessary endorsement and satisfactory evidence of
compliance with all applicable law relating to the collection of taxes or funds
necessary for the payment of such taxes.

            G. The Corporation or any Affiliate of the Corporation may acquire
Shares of MMP from Existing Holders other than through an Auction, provided that
any Shares so acquired are cancelled and returned to the status of authorized
but undesignated shares of preferred stock.

            H. Upon the selection of a Dividend Determination Method for a
Series of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock for any Subsequent Dividend Period
other than the Dividend Determination Method then applicable to such Series, the
holders of record of the Shares of such Series shall transfer the certificates
for such Shares to the Auction Stock Depositary, in the case of the selection of
the Auction Method, or the SABRES Depositary, in the case of the selection of
the Remarketing Method, in either case on the first day of such Subsequent
Dividend Period. In the event a holder fails to so transfer its certificates as
aforesaid, such certificates shall be deemed cancelled and the Corporation shall
issue a new certificate to the Auction Stock Depositary or the SABRES
Depositary, as the case may be.

            I. The purchase price of each Share of Variable Cumulative Preferred
Stock which is sold either through the Auction Procedures or the Remarketing
Procedures shall be One Thousand Dollars ($l,000).

            J. All certificates representing Shares shall be issued in Share
amounts equivalent to Units.

            K. An Auction will be held in respect of each Series of Converted
SABRES on the Initial Auction Date. If a holder of Converted SABRES does not
submit an Order in such Auction, such holder will be deemed to have submitted a
Sell Order in such Auction.

            L. If a holder of Shares of Converted MMP fails to give irrevocable
notice otherwise to the Remarketing Agent for such Shares (or, if so instructed
by such Remarketing Agent, to the Tender Agent) by no later than 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the
Subsequent Dividend Period applicable thereto, or such other day as is specified
in a notice delivered in the manner set forth in paragraph (B)(2) of Section 7,
such holder will be deemed to have tendered such Shares for sale by Remarketing
on such Business Day.
<PAGE>   32
                                                                              32

            M. At all times when Shares of a Series of MMP or Converted SABRES
are Outstanding, the Corporation will use its best efforts to maintain a
Broker-Dealer and Trust Company for such Shares. At all times when Shares of a
Series of SABRES or Converted MMP are outstanding, the Corporation will use its
best efforts to maintain a Remarketing Agent for such Shares.

            9. Redemption.

            A. The Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock of each Series
shall be subject to redemption in Units, as a whole or from time to time in part
at the option of the Corporation out of funds legally available therefor on one
of the following dates (each such date is hereinafter referred to herein as a
"redemption date") (i) on the last Dividend Payment Date with respect to any
Dividend Period and at any time when the Dividend Rate applicable to such Shares
is the Maximum Rate at a redemption price of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per
Share, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but
excluding, the date fixed for redemption and (ii) on such redemption dates and
at redemption prices (which may not be less than $1,000 per Share in the case of
Shares having a Dividend Period in excess of 364 days) established by the
applicable Term Selection Agent in the case of MMP, or by the applicable
Remarketing Agent in the case of SABRES, prior to the commencement of such
Dividend Period, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends
thereon to, but excluding, the date set for redemption. The applicable Term
Selection Agent or the applicable Remarketing Agent, as the case may be, will
establish dates on which Shares may be redeemed and the corresponding redemption
prices of such Shares on such dates that the applicable Term Selection Agent or
the applicable Remarketing Agent, as the case may be, determines based on the
then-current Remarketing Conditions will be the most favorable financing
alternative for the Corporation. Notice of redemption will be provided to record
holders of Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock to be redeemed not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption by mail,
first-class, postage prepaid, such notice to be addressed to the record holder
at the address for such holder as the same appears on the stock register of the
Corporation. Such notice shall specify the record date for determining holders
of Shares to be redeemed.

            B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any dividends on Shares of
Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock are in arrears, no Shares of Variable
Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all Outstanding Shares of
Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed, and the
Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire any Shares of Variable
Cumulative Preferred Stock, provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent the
purchase or acquisition of Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock
pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of
all Outstanding Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock. None of the
foregoing shall preclude the Corporation from acquiring Shares of Variable
Cumulative Preferred Stock, constituting either all or a part of a Series, in a
tender or an exchange offer.

            C. Each holder of Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock
called for redemption shall surrender the certificate or certificates, if any,
evidencing such Shares to the Corporation at the place designated in the notice
of redemption for such Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if
the notice shall so state) and shall thereupon be entitled to
<PAGE>   33
                                                                              33

receive payment of the redemption price plus an amount equal to accumulated and
unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date therefor.

            D. If fewer than all of the Outstanding Shares of Variable
Cumulative Preferred Stock of any Series are to be redeemed as set forth above,
the number of Shares to be redeemed shall be determined by the Board of
Directors. In the case of Shares of MMP, the Shares of such Series shall be
redeemed pro rata from the holders of record of such Shares in proportion to the
number of such Shares held by such holders with adjustments for fractional
shares and so as to ensure that the Shares remaining Outstanding after such
redemption are held of record in Units. In the case of SABRES, the Shares of
such Series shall be redeemed pro rata from the holders of record of the Shares
of such Series having the same Dividend Period and redemption terms, with
adjustments for fractional shares and so as to ensure that the Shares remaining
Outstanding after such redemption are held of record in Units.

            E. If notice of redemption shall have been given, then,
notwithstanding that any certificate for Shares so called for redemption shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, from and after the date fixed for
redemption (unless a Payment Failure shall have occurred), the Shares
represented thereby shall no longer be deemed Outstanding, dividends thereon
shall cease to accumulate and all rights of the holders thereon with respect to
the Shares so called for redemption shall forthwith on such redemption date
cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the
amount payable upon redemption thereof, without interest. After the date
designated for redemption, and if the redemption price has been paid or set
aside for payment, such Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not
be transferrable on the stock register of the Corporation. Upon surrender in
accordance with the notice of redemption of the certificate or certificates for
the Shares so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if such
notice shall so state), the redemption price set forth above will be paid by the
Paying Agent.

            F. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the record holder
receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder
of any Shares of any Series of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock designated
for redemption, in whole or in part, or any defect in such notice shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Shares of
a Series.

            G. Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock which have been
redeemed will be cancelled and upon the filing of any certificate that may be
required under Delaware law may be restored to the status of authorized but
undesignated and unissued shares of preferred stock.

            10. Sinking Fund. There shall not be any sinking fund for the
redemption of any Shares of any Series of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock.

            11. Liquidation Preference.

            A. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Shares of Variable
Cumulative Preferred Stock of
<PAGE>   34
                                                                              34

each Series shall be entitled to receive out of assets of the Corporation
available for distribution to stockholders, before any distribution of assets of
the Corporation is made to holders of Junior Stock, One Thousand Dollars
($1,000) per Share plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends to
the date of distribution.

            B. If, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the amounts payable with respect
to each Series of the Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock, the Other Outstanding
Preferred Stock and any other shares of stock of the Corporation ranking as to
any such distribution on a parity with the Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock
are not paid in full, then the holders of the Variable Cumulative Preferred
Stock and of all such other shares shall share ratably in any such distribution
of assets of the Corporation in proportion to the full respective preferential
amounts to which they are entitled assuming all amounts thereon were paid in
full.

            C. After payment to the holders of the Variable Cumulative Preferred
Stock of the full preferential amounts to which they are entitled, the holders
of the Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any
further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. The
merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Person shall
not be or be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up for purposes
of this Section 11.

            12. Voting Rights.

            A. Holders of the Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock of any Series
are not entitled to any voting rights, except as may be required by law or as
specified in this Section 12.

            B. If at the time of any annual meeting of stockholders for the
election of directors, the equivalent of six quarterly dividends (whether or not
consecutive) payable on any share or shares of preferred stock of the
Corporation are in default, the number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors will be increased by two. The holders of record of the Variable
Cumulative Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class with the holders of
shares of any one or more other series of preferred stock upon which like voting
rights have been conferred (including, without limitation, the Outstanding
Cumulative Preferred Stock), shall be entitled at said meeting of stockholders
(and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders), unless all dividends in
arrears have been paid or declared and set apart for payment prior thereto, to
vote for the election of two directors of the Corporation, the holders of record
of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock and all applicable Series of Outstanding
Cumulative Preferred Stock (other than the Series A Preferred Stock) being
entitled to cast one vote per share and the holders of record of Series A
Preferred Stock being entitled to cast one-tenth (1/10) of one vote per share,
with the remaining directors of the Corporation to be elected by the holders of
record of shares of any other class or classes or series of stock entitled to
vote therefor. Until the default in payments of all dividends which permitted
the election of said directors shall cease to exist, any director who shall have
been so elected pursuant to the next preceding sentence may be removed at any
time, without cause, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of record of
the shares of preferred stock at the time entitled to cast a majority of the
votes entitled to be cast for the election of any such director at a special
meeting of such holders of record called for that purpose, and any vacancy in
such directorship thereby created or otherwise created may be filled
<PAGE>   35
                                                                              35

by the vote of such holders of record. If and when such default shall cease to
exist, the holders of record of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock and the
holders of record of shares of any one or more series of preferred stock upon
which like voting rights have been conferred (including, without limitation, the
holders of record of the Outstanding Cumulative Preferred Stock) shall be
divested of the foregoing special voting rights, subject to revesting in the
event of each and every subsequent like default in payments of dividends. Upon
the termination of the foregoing special voting rights, the terms of office of
all persons who may have been elected directors pursuant to said special voting
rights shall forthwith terminate, and the number of directors constituting the
Board of Directors shall be reduced by two. For purposes of the foregoing,
default in the payment of dividends for the equivalent of six quarterly
dividends means, in the case of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock which pays
dividends either more or less frequently than every quarter, default in the
payment of dividends in respect of one or more Dividend Periods containing in
the aggregate not less than 540 days.

            C. Unless the vote or consent of the holders of record of a greater
number of shares shall then be required by law, the consent of the holders of
record of at least 66 2/3% of all of the Shares of all Series of Variable
Cumulative Preferred Stock and all other shares of the same class at the time
outstanding (including, without limitation, the holders of record of the Other
Outstanding Preferred Stock), given in person or by proxy, either in writing or
by a vote at a meeting called for that purpose, voting as a class without regard
to series, the holders of record of Shares of Variable Cumulative Preferred
Stock and Other Outstanding Preferred Stock (other than the Series A Preferred
Stock) being entitled to cast one vote per Share and the holders of record of
Series A Preferred Stock being entitled to cast one-tenth (1/10) of one vote per
share, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating the
amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation or of any certificate amendatory thereof or
supplemental thereto (including any Certificate of Designations or any similar
document relating to any series of preferred stock) so as to affect adversely
the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of such series and any other
shares of the same class (including, without limitation, the Other Outstanding
Preferred Stock); provided, however, that in any case in which one or more, but
not all, series of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock, Other Outstanding
Preferred Stock or other series of such class would be adversely affected as to
the preferences, rights, powers or privileges thereof, the affirmative consent
of holders of record of shares entitled to cast at least 66 2/3% of the votes
entitled to be cast by the holders of all of the shares of all of such series
that would be adversely affected (including, without limitation, the Other
Outstanding Preferred Stock), voting as a class, shall be required in lieu
thereof.

            D. Unless the vote or consent of the holders of record of a greater
number of shares shall then be required by law, the consent of the holders of
record of at least 66 2/3% of all Shares of all Series of Variable Cumulative
Preferred Stock and all shares of all other series of preferred stock ranking on
a parity with the Shares, either as to dividends or upon liquidation (including,
without limitation, the Other Outstanding Preferred Stock), at the time
outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by a vote at a
meeting called for the purpose at which the holders of record of Shares of all
Series of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock, Other Outstanding Preferred Stock
and shares of such other series of preferred stock shall vote together as a
single class without regard to series, the holders of record of shares of all
Series of Variable Cumulative Preferred Stock and Other Outstanding Preferred
Stock (other than the Series A Preferred Stock) being entitled to cast one vote
per Share and the holders of record of Series A
<PAGE>   36
                                                                              36

Preferred Stock being entitled to cast one-tenth (1/10) of one vote per share,
shall be necessary to issue, authorize, or increase the authorized amount of, or
issue or authorize any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing a
right to purchase, any additional class or series of stock ranking prior to the
Shares, Other Outstanding Preferred Stock or such other preferred stock as to
dividends or upon liquidation.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate to
be signed by Anthony J. Horan, Secretary of the Corporation, on this ___ day of

<PAGE>   3
                                                                               3

Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series H, $1.00 par value, of the Corporation
is hereby authorized, and the designation, preferences and privileges, relative,
participating, optional and other special rights, and qualifications of all
400,000 shares of this series, in addition to those set forth in the Certificate
of Incorporation are hereby fixed as follows:

                  1. Designation. The designation of such preferred stock shall
be 6 5/8 % Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series H (hereinafter referred to as the
"Series H Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting such series is
400,000. Shares of the Series H Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of
$500 per share. The number of authorized shares of the Series H Preferred Stock
may be reduced by further resolution duly adopted by the by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation, the Stock Committee, or any other duly authorized
committee of the Board of Directors and by the filing of a certificate pursuant
to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
stating that such reduction has been so authorized but the number of authorized
shares of the Series H Preferred Stock shall not be increased.

                  2. Dividends. (a) Holders of shares of Series H Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive cash dividends when, as and if declared by
the Board of Directors of the Corporation, out of funds legally available
therefor, at a rate of 6 5/8% per annum on the stated value thereof in respect
of the Initial Dividend Period (as defined below) and each quarterly dividend
period thereafter, which quarterly dividend periods shall begin on January 1,
April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing with the first such date
to occur after the effective time of the merger of J.P. Morgan & Co.
Incorporated with and into the Corporation pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated as of September 12, 2000 between the Corporation and J.P. Morgan &
Co. Incorporated (the "Effective Time"), and shall end on and include the day
next preceding the first day of the next dividend period. Such dividends shall
be cumulative from the first day of the Initial Dividend Period and shall be
payable, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors on March 31, June
30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The Initial Dividend Period is
the period commencing on the day following the most recent date prior to the
Effective Time on which a dividend was paid on the 6 5/8% Cumulative Preferred
Stock Series H of J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated (the "Morgan Series H Preferred
Stock") (or commencing on the day following the date of the Effective Time if
the date of the Effective Time was a dividend payment date) and ending on and
including the date next preceding the first day of the next quarterly dividend
period; provided, however, that in the event the Effective Time shall occur
after the record date for the payment of the regular quarterly dividend on the
Morgan Series H Preferred Stock, but prior to the payment date for such
dividend, then the Initial Dividend Period shall be the first of the quarterly
dividend periods described in the second preceding sentence. Each such dividend
shall be paid to the holders of record of shares of Series H Preferred Stock at
the close of business on the fifteenth day of the month next preceding the month
in which such dividend payment is made. Dividends as provided for in this
Paragraph 2, to the extent not declared and paid for any past dividend periods,
may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular dividend
payment date, to holders of record on such date, not exceeding 45 days preceding
the payment date therefor, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, the Stock Committee, or any other duly authorized committee of the
Board of Directors. Dividends payable on the Series H Preferred Stock for any
period less than a full quarterly dividend period, and for the dividend period
beginning on the date of issuance of the shares of the Series H Preferred Stock,
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
<PAGE>   4
                                                                               4

months. The amount of dividends payable on shares of the Series H Preferred
Stock for each full quarterly dividend period shall be computed by dividing the
annual dividend rate by four.

                  (b) No full dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart
for payment on Preferred Stock of any series ranking, as to dividends, on a
parity with the Series H Preferred Stock for any period unless full cumulative
dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a
sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series
H Preferred Stock for all dividend payment periods terminating on or prior to
the date of payment of such full cumulative dividends. When dividends are not
paid in full, as aforesaid, upon the shares of the Series H Preferred Stock and
any other Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with the Series H
Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of the Series H Preferred
Stock and any other Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with the
Series H Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of
dividends declared per share on the Series H Preferred Stock and such other
Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that
accrued dividends per share on the shares of the Series H Preferred Stock and
such other Preferred Stock bear to each other. Holders of shares of the Series H
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash,
property or stocks, in excess of full cumulative dividends, as herein provided,
on the Series H Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of
interest, shall be payable in respect if any dividend payment of payments on the
Series H Preferred Stock which may in arrears.

                  3. Redemption. The Series H Preferred Stock shall not be
redeemable prior to March 31, 2006. On or after March 31, 2006, the Corporation,
at its option, with prior approval of the appropriate bank regulators, if so
required, may redeem the Series H Preferred Stock, as a whole or in part, at any
time or from time to time out of funds legally available therefor, at a
redemption price of $500 per share plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption.

                  In the event the Corporation shall redeem shares of Series H
Preferred Stock, notice of such redemption shall be given by first class mail,
postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
redemption date, to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed, at such
holder's address as the same appears on the stock register of the Corporation.
Each such notice shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares
of Series H Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held
by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from
such holder; (3) the redemption price; (4) the place or places where
certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption
price; and (5) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue
on such redemption date. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after
the redemption date (unless default shall be made by the Corporation in
providing money for the payment of the redemption price) dividends on the shares
of the Series H Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accrue,
and said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of
the holders thereof as stockholders of the Corporation (except the right to
receive from the Corporation the redemption price) shall cease. Upon surrender
in accordance with said notice of the certificates for any shares so redeemed
(properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Board of Directors of the
Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such shares shall
be redeemed by the Corporation at the redemption price aforesaid. If less than
all the outstanding shares of the Series H Preferred Stock are to be redeemed,
shares to be

                                                                               5

redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Series
H Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or pro rata (as
nearly as may be) or by any other method determined by the Corporation in its
sole discretion to be equitable. A new certificate shall be issued representing
the unredeemed shares without cost to the holder thereof.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, if
any dividends on the Series H Preferred Stock are in arrears, no shares of the
Series H Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of the
Series H Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed, and the Corporation shall
not purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of such Series; provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition of shares of
the Series H Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on
the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of the Series H Preferred
Stock.

                  4. Shares to be Retired. All shares of the Series H Preferred
Stock redeemed by the Corporation shall be retired and canceled and shall not be
reissued as shares of Series H Preferred Stock and upon the filing of any
document required by the Delaware General Corporation Law shall be restored to
the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without
designation as to series.

                  5. Conversion or Exchange. The holders of shares of the Series
H Preferred Stock shall not have any rights to convert such shares into or
exchange such shares for shares of any other class or classes or of any other
series of any class or classes of capital stock of the Corporation.

                  6. Voting. The Series H Preferred Stock shall have no voting
powers either general or special except as otherwise required by law and as
hereinafter provided in this Section 6.

                  If at the time of any annual meeting of stockholders for the
election of directors, the equivalent of six quarterly dividends (whether or not
consecutive) payable on any share or shares of preferred stock are in default,
the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation
shall automatically be increased by two. The holders of record of the Series H
Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class with the holders of shares of any
one or more other series of preferred stock upon which like voting rights have
been conferred (including, without limitation, the Corporation's Adjustable Rate
Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), Variable
Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B through F, 10.84% Cumulative Preferred
Stock, Adjustable Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series L, and Adjustable
Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series N (collectively, the "Outstanding Cumulative
Preferred Stock")), shall be entitled at said meeting of stockholders (and at
each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders), unless all dividends in arrears
have been paid or declared and set apart for payment prior thereto, to vote for
the election of two directors of the Corporation, the holders of record of the
Series H Preferred Stock and the Outstanding Cumulative Preferred Stock (other
than the Series A Preferred Stock) being entitled to cast one vote per share and
the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock being entitled to cast
one-tenth (1/10) of one vote per share, with the remaining directors of the
Corporation to be elected by the holders of record of shares of any other class
or classes or series of stock entitled to vote therefor. Until the default in
payments of all dividends which permitted the election of

                                                                               6

said directors shall cease to exist, any director who shall have been so elected
pursuant to the next preceding sentence may be removed at any time, without
cause, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of record of the shares of
preferred stock at the time entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to
be cast for the election of any such director at a special meeting of such
holders of record called for that purpose, and any vacancy in such directorship
thereby created or otherwise created may be filled only by the affirmative vote
of the holders of record of the shares of preferred stock at the time entitled
to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast for the election of any such
director. If and when such default shall cease to exist, the holders of record
of the Series H Preferred Stock and the holders of record of shares of any one
or more series of preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been
conferred (including, without limitation, the Outstanding Cumulative Preferred
Stock) shall be divested of the foregoing special voting rights, subject to
reinvesting in the event of each and every subsequent like default in payments
of dividends. Upon the termination of the foregoing special voting rights, the
terms of office of all persons who may have been elected directors pursuant to
said special voting rights will terminate, and the number of directors
constituting the Board of Directors shall be automatically reduced by two. For
the purposes of the foregoing, default in the payment of dividends for the
equivalent of six quarterly dividends means, in the case of Preferred Stock
which pays dividends either more or less frequently than every quarter, default
in the payment of dividends in respect of one or more Dividend Periods
containing in the aggregate not less than 540 days.

                  Unless the vote or consent of the holders of a greater number
of shares shall then be required by law, the consent of the holders of record of
at least 66 2/3% of all of the voting power of the Series H Preferred Stock and
all other shares of the same class at the time outstanding (including, without
limitation, the Outstanding Cumulative Preferred Stock and the Corporation's
Fixed/Adjustable Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock (collectively with the
Outstanding Cumulative Preferred Stock, the "Other Preferred Stock")), given in
person or by proxy, either in writing or by a vote at a meeting called for that
purpose, voting as a class without regard to series, the holders of record of
the Series H Preferred Stock and the Other Preferred Stock (other than the
Series A Preferred Stock) being entitled to cast one vote per share and the
holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock being entitled to cast
one-tenth (1/10) of one vote per share, shall be necessary for authorizing,
effecting or validating the amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the
provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or of any certificate
amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto (including any Certificate of
Designations, Rights and Preferences or any similar document relating to any
series of preferred stock) so as to materially adversely affect the preferences,
rights, powers or privileges of the Series H Preferred Stock and any other
shares of the same class (including, without limitation, the Other Preferred
Stock); provided, however, that in any case in which one or more, but not all,
series of Other Preferred Stock or Series H Preferred Stock or other series of
such class would be materially adversely affected as to the preferences, rights,
powers or privileges thereof, the affirmative consent of holders of record of
shares entitled to cast at least 66 2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the
holders of all of the shares of all of the series that would be adversely
affected, voting as a class, shall be required in lieu thereof.

                  Unless the vote or consent of the holders of record of a
greater number of shares shall then be required by law, the consent of the
holders of record of at least 66 2/3% of all of the voting power of the shares
of the Series H Preferred Stock and all shares of all other series of preferred
stock ranking on a parity (including, without limitation, the Other Preferred
Stock)

                                                                               7

with shares of the Series H Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or
upon liquidation, at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either
in writing or by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose at which the holders
of record of shares of the Series H Preferred Stock, the Other Preferred Stock
and shares of such other series of preferred stock shall vote together as a
single class without regard to series, the holders of record of the Series H
Preferred Stock and the Other Preferred Stock (other than the Series A Preferred
Stock) being entitled to cast one vote per share and holders of record of Series
A Preferred Stock being entitled to cast one-tenth (1/10) of one vote per share,
shall be necessary to issue, authorize, or increase the authorized amount of, or
issue or authorize any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing a
right to purchase, any additional class or series of stock ranking prior to the
Series H Preferred Stock, Other Preferred Stock or such other preferred stock as
to dividends or upon liquidation.

                  7. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the
holders of the Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders, before any
distribution of assets shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or of any
other shares of stock of the Corporation ranking as to such a distribution
junior to the Series H Preferred Stock, an amount equal to $500 per share plus
an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not
earned or declared) to the date fixed for payment of such distribution. If upon
any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, the amounts payable with respect to the Series H Preferred Stock
and any other shares of stock of the Corporation ranking as to any such
distribution on a parity with the Series H Preferred Stock are not paid in full,
the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock and of such other shares shall share
ratably in any such distribution of assets of the Corporation in proportion to
the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled. After
payment to the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock of the full preferential
amounts provided for in this Section 7, the holders of the Series H Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to no further participation in any distribution of
assets by the Corporation.

                  Neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer of all or
substantially all the property or business of the Corporation, the merger or
consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other corporation nor the
merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the Corporation
shall be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up, voluntary or
involuntary, of the Corporation for the purposes of this Section 7.

                  8. Limitation on Dividends on Junior Ranking Stock. So long as
any of the Series H Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, the Corporation shall
not declare any dividends on the Common Stock of the Corporation or any other
stock of the Corporation ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets
junior to the Series H Preferred Stock (as defined below, the "Junior Stock"),
or make any payment on account of, or set apart money for, a sinking or other
analogous fund for the purchase, redemption or other retirement of any shares of
Junior Stock, or make any distribution in respect thereof, whether in cash or
property or in obligations or stock of the Corporation, other than Junior Stock
(such dividends, payments, setting apart and distributions being herein called
"Junior Stock Payments"), unless full cumulative dividends shall have been paid
or declared and set apart for payment upon all outstanding shares of preferred
stock other than Junior Stock, at the date of such declaration in the case of
any such

                                                                               8

dividend, or the date of such setting apart in the case of any such fund, or the
date of such payment or distribution in the case of any other Junior Stock
Payment.

                  9. Ranking of Stock of the Corporation. For purposes of this
resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed
to rank:

                  (1) prior to the shares of the Series H Preferred Stock,
either as to dividends or upon liquidation, if the holders of such class or
classes shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts
distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, as
the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the
Series H Preferred Stock;

                  (2) on a parity with shares of the Series H Preferred Stock,
either as to dividends or upon liquidation, whether or not the dividend rates,
dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share or sinking
fund provisions, if any, be different from those of the Series H Preferred
Stock, if the holders of such stock shall be entitled to the receipt of
dividends or of amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the Corporation, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective
dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority, one over
the other, as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of the
Series H Preferred Stock; and

                  (3) junior to shares of the Series H Preferred Stock, either
as to dividends or upon liquidation, if such class shall be Common Stock or if
the holders of shares of the Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Corporation, as the case may be, in preference or priority
to the holders of shares of such class or classes."

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this
Certificate to be signed by Anthony J. Horan, Secretary of the Corporation, on
this ___ day of _______, 2000.
