To the extent required, the Corporation shall make qualifying distributions at such time and in such manner as not to subject the Corporation to tax under Section 4942 of the Code. ARTICLE II DIRECTORS --------- Section 2.01. Number, Election and Term of Office. The ----------------------------------- number of Directors which shall constitute the full Board of Directors shall be as fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors but shall not be less than six nor more than twenty-five. The Board shall be divided into two classes: Permanent Directors and Term Directors. The number of Directors in each class shall be determined by the Permanent Directors, limited as set forth below. Permanent Directors shall be elected by the then serving Permanent Directors; provided, however, that as long as Teresa Heinz shall hold the office of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with the other Permanent Directors, shall appoint the Permanent Directors. Each Permanent Director shall have the right to serve from the time of election for the remainder of his life or until his earlier resignation or incapacity. The initial Permanent Directors shall be Teresa Heinz, Drue Heinz, Joseph W. Oliver, William Rea, William W. Scranton, and H. John Heinz IV. Upon the death, resignation, or incapacity of a Permanent Director, or an increase in the number of Permanent Directors, only lineal descendants (whether by birth or adoption) and spouses of such descendants of Howard Heinz, the original donor of the predecessor Trust of the Corporation, may be elected as Permanent Directors. For purposes of these bylaws, an individual shall no longer be deemed to be the spouse of a lineal descendant of Howard Heinz upon a final decree of divorce by a court of competent jurisdiction, and any such divorced spouse shall be deemed to have surrendered his position as a Permanent Director by reason of incapacity. The Term Directors shall be elected (and may be removed) by the Permanent Directors; provided, however, that as long as Teresa Heinz shall hold the office of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with the other Permanent Directors, shall appoint (and may remove) the Term Directors. The Term Directors shall be elected for a term of three years and may be re-elected for unlimited additional terms of three years. There shall always be at least one Term Director who is representative of and designated by Mellon Bank, N.A., or its successor. The initial Term Directors shall be Howard M. Love and William B. Ouzts, as representative of Mellon Bank, N.A. Each Term Director shall hold office from the time of his appointment, but shall be responsible as a Director from such time only if he consents to his appointment; otherwise from the time he accepts office or attends his first meeting of the Board. Each Term Director shall serve until his successor is duly appointed, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. The duties and responsibilities of the Term Directors shall be same as the duties and responsibilities of the Permanent Directors, except as limited herein. Section 2.02. Regular Meetings; Notice. Regular ------------------------ meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such time and place as shall be designated by the Directors from time to time. Notice of such regular meetings shall not be required, except as otherwise expressly required herein or by law, and except that whenever the time or place of regular meetings shall be initially fixed and then changed, notice of such action shall be given -2- promptly by telephone or otherwise to each Director not participating in such action. Any business may be transacted at any regular meeting of the Directors. Section 2.03. Annual Meeting of the Board. A regular --------------------------- meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held at such date, time and place as may be fixed by the Board of Directors.

Any business may be transacted at any special meeting regardless of whether the notice calling such meeting contains a reference thereto, except as otherwise required by law. Section 2.05. Organization. At all meetings of the ------------ Board of Directors, the presence of at least a majority of the Directors in office shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that if the number of Term Directors exceeds the number of Permanent Directors, the presence of at least a majority of each class of the Directors in office shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present at any meeting, the meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the Directors present until a quorum as aforesaid shall be present, but notice of the time and place to which such meeting is adjourned shall be given to any Directors not present either by being sent by telegraph or given personally or by telephone at least eight hours prior to the hour of reconvening. Resolutions of the Board shall be adopted, and any action of the Board upon any matter shall be valid and effective, with the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors present at a meeting duly convened and at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that if the number of Term Directors exceeds the number of Permanent Directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of each class of Directors present at a meeting duly convened and at which a quorum is present shall be necessary. The Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, if present, or if not, a Director designated by the Board, shall preside at each meeting of the Board. The Secretary, or in his absence any Assistant Secretary, shall take the minutes at all meetings of the Board of Directors. In the absence of the Secretary and an Assistant Secretary, the presiding officer shall designate a person to take the minutes of the meeting. -3- Section 2.06. Meetings by Telephone.

Minutes of each --------------------- meeting of the Board shall be made available to each Director at or before the next succeeding meeting. Each Director shall be presumed to have assented to such minutes unless his objection thereto shall be made to the Secretary at or within two days after such succeeding meeting. Section 2.08. Catastrophe. Notwithstanding any other ----------- provisions of the Pennsylvania Nonprofit Corporation Law of 1988, the Articles or these Bylaws, if any emergency resulting from warlike damage or an attack on the United States or any nuclear or atomic disaster, or any other national or local disaster, causes a majority of the Board to be incapable of acting as such because of death or other physical disability or difficulties of communication or transportation, the other Director or Directors shall constitute a quorum for the sole purpose of electing Directors to replace the Directors so incapable of acting. The Directors so elected shall serve until such replaced Directors are able to attend meetings of the Board or until the Board acts to elect Directors for such purpose. Questions as to the existence of such an emergency or disaster or as to the fact of such incapacity shall be conclusively determined by such other Director or Directors. Section 2.09. Resignations. Any Director may resign by ------------ submitting his resignation to the Secretary. Such resignation shall become effective upon its receipt by the Secretary or as otherwise specified therein. Section 2.10. Removal. The Permanent Directors may ------- remove any Term Director who, in their sole and absolute discretion, is not adequately performing his duties as a Term Director; provided, however, that as long as Teresa Heinz shall hold the office of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with the Permanent Directors, may remove any Term Director who, in her discretion, is not adequately performing his duties as a Term Director. Section 2.11. Committees. Standing or temporary ---------- committees, which may include an Executive Committee, consisting of at least two Directors, may be appointed by the Directors from time to time.

The Directors may designate one or more Directors as alternate members of any committee to replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee, and in the event of such absence or disqualification, the member or members of such committee present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another Director to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any action taken by any committee shall be subject to alteration or revocation by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that third parties shall not be prejudiced by such alteration or revocation. Section 2.12. Vacancies. Any vacancy that shall occur --------- in the Board of Directors by reason of death, resignation, removal, increase in the number of Directors or any other cause whatever shall be filled in the manner provided for in Section 2.01 hereof with respect to the election or appointment of Directors, and each person so elected or appointed shall be a Director until he or his successor is appointed or until his prior death, resignation or removal. Section 2.13. Personal Liability of Directors. ------------------------------- (a) Elimination of Liability. To the fullest extent ------------------------ that the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as now in effect or as hereafter amended, permit elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, no Director of the Corporation shall be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, as a Director. (b) Nature and Extent of Rights. The provisions of --------------------------- this Section shall be deemed to be a contract with each Director of the Corporation who serves as such at any time while this Section is in effect and each such Director shall be deemed to be so serving in reliance on the provisions of this Section. Any amendment or repeal of this Section or adoption of any Bylaw or provision of the Articles of the Corporation which has the effect of increasing director liability shall operate prospectively only and shall not affect any action taken, or any failure to act, prior to the adoption of such amendment, repeal, Bylaw or provision. Section 2.14 Compensation of Directors. The ------------------------- Corporation shall be authorized and empowered to pay the Directors reasonable compensation for services rendered to the Corporation, provided such payments do not result in the Corporation's failure to be described in section 501(c)(3) of the Code or in the imposition of excise taxes under Chapter 42 of the Code. -5- ARTICLE III OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES ---------------------- Section 3.01.

The Corporation shall operate so as to preclude the imposition of excise taxes under Chapter 42 of the Code. ARTICLE II DIRECTORS --------- Section 2.01. Number, Election and Term of Office. The ----------------------------------- number of Directors which shall constitute the full Board of Directors shall be as fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors but shall not be less than two nor more than ten. The Board shall be divided into three classes: a Class A Permanent Director, Class B Permanent Directors and Term Directors. Each Class A and Class B Permanent Director shall have the right to serve from the time of appointment for the remainder of his life or until his earlier resignation or incapacity. The initial Class A Permanent Director shall be Teresa F. Heinz, and the initial Class B Permanent Director shall be Joan D. McCauley. At any time on or after January 1, 1996, Teresa F. Heinz's three sons, Henry John Heinz IV, Andre Thierstein Heinz and Christopher Drake Heinz, shall each have the right to become Class B Permanent Directors upon delivering an acceptance of appointment to the Class A Permanent Director for filing with the records of the Corporation. If at the time of any such acceptance, there are ten Directors then serving, the Class A Permanent Director shall remove one Term Director. From and after the time Teresa F. Heinz shall cease to be a Director, there shall no longer be Class A Permanent Directors and the Class B Permanent Directors, as a class, shall succeed to all of the rights of the Class A Permanent Director. The Term Directors shall be appointed (and may be removed) by the Class A Permanent Director or, if none, shall be elected (and may be removed) by the then serving Class B Permanent Directors and shall be appointed for a term of two years. Each Term Director shall hold office from the time of his appointment, but shall be responsible as a Director from such time only if he consents to his appointment; otherwise from the time he accepts office or attends his first meeting of the Board. Each Term Director shall serve until his successor is duly appointed, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. The duties and responsibilities of the Term Directors shall be limited to issues related to the Heinz Awards, the annual awards granted by the Corporation in honor of the late Senator H. John Heinz III, including participating in the selection of the recipients of the Heinz Awards. Section 2.02. Regular Meetings; Notice. Regular ------------------------ meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such time and place as shall be designated by the Class A Permanent Director from time to time. Meetings attended by the Term Directors shall be limited to issues related to the Heinz Awards. Notice of such regular meetings shall not be required, except as otherwise expressly required herein or by law, and except that whenever the time or place of regular meetings shall be initially fixed and then changed, notice of such action shall be given promptly by telephone or otherwise to each Director not participating in such action. Any business may be transacted at any regular meeting of the Permanent Directors; any business related to the Heinz Awards may be transacted at any regular meeting of all classes of Directors. Section 2.03. Annual Meeting of the Board. A regular --------------------------- meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held at such date, time and place as may be fixed by the Board of Directors.

If there are only two Permanent Directors (both Class A and Class B) then serving, the presence of Teresa F. Heinz shall be necessary and sufficient to satisfy the quorum requirement for Permanent Directors (both Class A and Class B). If a quorum is not present at any meeting, the meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the Directors present until a quorum as aforesaid shall be present, but notice of the time and place to which such meeting is adjourned shall be given to any Directors not present either by being sent by telegraph or given personally or by telephone at least eight hours prior to the hour of reconvening. Resolutions of the Board shall be adopted, and any action of the Board upon any matter shall be valid and effective, with the affirmative vote of a majority of each of the classes of the Directors present at a meeting duly convened and at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that the matters upon which Term Directors may vote shall be limited to matters relating to the selection of recipients of the Heinz Awards. If there are only two Permanent Directors (both Class A and B) then serving, the vote of Teresa F. Heinz shall be deemed to be the vote of the majority of the Permanent Directors (both Class A and Class B).
