      of Directors shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided by, the By-Laws.

            (b)   The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter,
      or repeal the By-Laws of the corporation.

            (c)   Each holder of the Common Stock of the corporation shall have

            (d)   Any corporate action upon which a vote of stockholders is

of its directors or officers, or between the corporation and any other
corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or
more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial
interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because
the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the
Board or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or
solely because his or their votes are counted for such purposes, if:

            (a)   The material facts as to his interest and as to the contract
      or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the
      committee, and the Board or committee in good faith authorizes the
      contract or transaction by a vote sufficient for such purpose without
      counting the vote of the interested director or directors; or

            (b)   The material facts as to his interest and as to the contract
      or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to
      vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in
      good faith by vote of the stockholders; or

            (c)   The contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation as
      of the time it is authorized, approved, or ratified, by the Board of
      Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders.

      Interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a
quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorized
the contract or transaction.

      10.   Indemnification for directors, officers, employees and agents of the
corporation may be provided either directly or through the purchase of
insurance, by the corporation from time to time to the fullest extent permitted
by law.

      11.   Authority is hereby expressly vested in the Board of Directors to
issue bonds, debentures or obligations of this corporation and to fix all of the
terms thereof, including without limitation, the interest to be paid thereon,
the convertibility or nonconvertibility thereof and other provisions with regard
