                           MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

      Section 1. MEETINGS. Meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation
      ---------
for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business
as may be brought before the meeting may, but are not required to be held
annually; specifically, the Corporation shall not be required to hold a
meeting in any year in which none of the following is required to be acted on
by stockholders under the Investment Company Act of 1940: (1) the election of
directors; (2) the approval of the Corporation's investment advisory
agreement; (3) ratification of the selection of independent public
accountants; and (4) approval of the Corporation's distribution agreement.
Any business of the Corporation may be transacted at the meeting without
being specifically designated in the notice, except such business as is
specifically required by statute to be stated in the notice.

      Meetings of the stockholders, unless otherwise provided by law or by
the Articles of Incorporation, may be called for any purpose or purposes by a
majority of the Board of Directors, by the President, or upon the written
request of the holder of at least 25% of the outstanding capital stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting.

      Section 2. PLACE OF MEETINGS. Meetings of the stockholders shall be
      ----------
held at such place within the United States as the Board of Directors may
from time to time determine.

      Section 3. NOTICE OF MEETINGS; WAIVER OF NOTICE. Notice of the place,
      ---------
date, and time of the holding of each meeting of the stockholders and the
purpose or purposes of each meeting shall be given personally or by mail, not
less than ten nor more than ninety days before the date of such meeting, to
each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and to each other
stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting. Notice by mail shall be deemed
to be duly given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the
stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation
with postage thereon prepaid.

      Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be deemed waived by any
stockholder who shall attend such meeting in person or by proxy, or who
shall, either before or after the meeting, submit a signed waiver of notice
that is filed with the records of the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to
another time and place, unless the Board of Directors, after the adjournment,
shall fix a new record date for an adjourned meeting, or unless the
adjournment is for more than thirty days, notice of such adjourned meeting
need not be given if the time and place to which the meeting shall be
adjourned were announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

      Section 4. QUORUM. At all meetings of the stockholders, the holders of
      ----------
a majority of the shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the
meeting, or a majority of the holders of any class of stock with respect to
matters on which holders of such class of stock are entitled to vote
separately, who are present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum
for the transaction of any business, except as otherwise provided by statute
or by the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws. In the absence of
quorum no business may be transacted, except that the holders of a majority
of the shares of stock who are present in person or by proxy and who are
entitled to vote may adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice
other than announcement thereat except as otherwise required by these
By-Laws, until the holders of the requisite amount of shares of stock shall
be so present. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be
present, any business may have been transacted that might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally called. The absence from any meeting,
in person or by proxy, of holders of the number of shares of stock of the
Corporation in excess of a majority thereof that may be required by the laws
of the State of Maryland, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or
other applicable statute, the Articles of Incorporation, or these By-Laws for
action upon any given matter shall not prevent action at such meeting upon
any other matter or matters that may properly come before the meeting, if
there shall be present thereat, in person or by proxy, holders of the number
of shares of stock of the Corporation required for Action in respect of such
other matter or matters.

      Section 5. ORGANIZATION. At each meeting of the stockholders, the
      ----------
Chairman of the Board, if one has been designated by the Board, or in his
absence or inability to act, the President, or in the absence or inability to
act of both the Chairman of the Board and the President, a Vice-President,
shall act as chairman of the meeting. The Secretary, or in his absence or
inability to act, any person appointed by the chairman of the meeting, shall
act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

      Section 6. ORDER OF BUSINESS. The order of business at all meetings of
      ----------
the stockholders shall be determined by the chairman of the meeting.

      Section 7. VOTING. Except as otherwise provided by statute or the
      ----------
Articles of Incorporation, each holder of record of shares of stock of the
Corporation having voting power shall be entitled at each meeting of the
stockholders to one vote for each full share, and a fractional vote for each
fractional share, standing in his name on the record of stockholders of the
Corporation as of the record date determined pursuant to Section 8 of this
Article II or, if such record date shall not have been so fixed, then at the
later of (i) the close of business on the day on which notice of the meeting
is mailed or (ii) the thirtieth day before the meeting; provided that
stockholders of each class shall not be entitled to vote on matters that do
not affect that class and that only affect another class or classes.

      Each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders may
authorize another person or persons to act for him by a proxy signed by such
stockholder or his attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the
expiration of eleven months from the date thereof, unless otherwise provided
in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the
stockholder executing it, except in those cases where such proxy states that
it is irrevocable and where an irrevocable proxy is permitted by law.

      Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Articles of Incorporation,
or these By-Laws, any corporate action to be taken by vote of the
stockholders shall be authorized by a majority of the total votes cast at a
meeting of stockholders by the holders of shares present in person or
represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such action; provided that, to
the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as now in
existence or hereinafter amended, if any action is required to be taken by
the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of all the stock or of any
class of stock, then such action shall be taken if approved by the lesser of
(i) 67 percent or more of the shares present at a meeting in person or
represented by proxy, at which more than 50 percent of the outstanding shares
are represented or (ii) more than 50 percent of the outstanding shares.

      If a vote shall be taken on any question other than the election of
directors, which shall be by written ballot, then unless required by statute
or these By-Laws, or determined by the chairman of the meeting to be
advisable, any such vote need not be by ballot. On a vote by ballot, such
ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by his proxy, if there
be such proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted.

      Section 8. FIXING OF RECORD DATE. The Board of Directors may fix, in
      ----------
advance, a record date not more than ninety nor less than ten days before the
date then fixed for the holding of any meeting of the stockholders. All
persons who were holders of record of shares at such time, and no others,
shall be entitled to vote at such meeting and any adjournment thereof.

      Section 9. INSPECTORS. The Board may, in advance of any meeting of
      ---------
stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at such meeting or any
adjournment thereof. If the inspectors shall not be so appointed or if any of
them shall fail to appear or act, the chairman of the meeting may, and on the
request of any stockholder entitled to vote thereat shall, appoint
inspectors. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties,
shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at
such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his
ability. The inspectors shall determine the number of shares outstanding and
entitled to vote; the number of shares represented at the meeting; the
existence of a quorum; the validity and effect of proxies; and shall receive
votes, ballots, or consents; hear and determine all challenges and questions
rising in connection with the right to vote; count and tabulate all votes,
ballots or consents; determine the result; and do such acts as are proper to
conduct the election or vote in fairness to all stockholders. On request of
the chairman of the meeting or of any stockholder entitled to vote thereat,
the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge, request, or
matter determined by them and shall execute a certificate of any fact found
by them. No director or candidate for the office of director shall act as
inspector of an election of director. Inspectors need not be stockholders.

      ----------
otherwise provided by statute or the Articles of Incorporation, any action
required to be taken at any meeting of stockholders, or any action that may
be taken at any meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting,
without prior notice, and without a vote, if the following are filed with the
records of stockholders' meetings: (i) a unanimous written consent that sets
forth the action and is signed by each stockholder entitled to vote on the
matter and (ii) a written waiver of any right to dissent signed by each
stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting but not entitled to vote
thereat.

of approval of (1) contracts or agreements whereby a person undertakes to
serve or act as investment adviser for or principal underwriter for the
Corporation or (2) a plan for the distribution of the Corporation's

Board of Directors may be held as soon as practicable after the meeting of
stockholders at which the directors were elected. No notice of such annual

the Board of Directors were elected or re-elected at such meeting. If not so
held, notice shall be given as hereinafter provided for special meetings of
the Board of Directors.

      Section 13. WAIVER OF NOTICE OF MEETING. Notice of any special meeting
      ----------
need not be given to any director who shall, either before or after the
meeting, sign a written waiver of notice or who shall attend such meeting.
Except as otherwise specifically required by these By-Laws, a notice or waiver
of notice of any meeting need not state the purpose of such meeting.

......Section 14. QUORUM AND VOTING. One-third, but not less than two, of the
      -----------
members of the entire Board shall be present in person at any meeting of the
Board in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such
meeting, and, except as otherwise expressly required by the Articles of
Incorporation, these By-Laws, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
or other applicable statute, the act of a majority of the directors present
at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board;
provided, however, that the approval of any contract with an investment
adviser or principal underwriter, as such terms are defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, that the Corporation enters into or any
renewal or amendment thereof, the approval of the fidelity bond required by
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the selection of the
Corporation's independent public accountant shall each require the
affirmative vote of a majority of the directors who are not parties to any
such contract or "interested persons" of any such party, as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Rules thereunder), so long as the
Corporation is subject to such Act and such Act so requires. In the absence
of a quorum at any meeting of the Board, a majority of the directors present
thereat may adjourn such meeting to another time and place until a quorum
shall be present thereat. Notice of the time and place of any such adjourned
meeting shall be given to the directors who were not present at the time of
the adjournment and, unless such time and place were announced at the meeting
at which the adjournment was taken, to the other directors. Any such notice
shall be given as provided for in Section 12 hereof. At any adjourned meeting
which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have
been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

......Section 15. ORGANIZATION. The Board may, by resolution adopted by a
      -----------
majority of the entire Board, designate a Chairman of the Board, who shall
preside at each meeting of the Board. In the absence or inability of the
Chairman of the Board to preside at a meeting, the President, or, in his
absence or inability to act, another director chosen by a majority of the
directors present, shall act as chairman of the meeting and preside thereat.
The Secretary (or, in his absence or inability to act, any person appointed
by the chairman) shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes
thereof.

......Section 16. WRITTEN CONSENT OF DIRECTORS IN LIEU OF A MEETING. Except
      -----------
as otherwise required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, any action
required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or
of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the
Board or of the committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing,
and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of the proceedings of
the Board or committee.

......Section 17. COMPENSATION. Directors may receive compensation for
      -----------
services to the Corporation in their capacities as director or otherwise in
such manner and in such amount as may be fixed from time to time by the Board.

......Section 18. INVESTMENT POLICIES. It shall be the duty of the Board of
      -----------
Directors to ensure that the purchase, sale, retention and disposal of
portfolio securities and the other investment practices of the Corporation
are at all times consistent with the investment policies and restrictions
with respect to securities investment and otherwise of the Corporation (or if
the stock is issued in classes or series, the policies and restrictions
applicable to such class or series) as recited in these By-Laws and the
current Registration Statement of the Corporation filed from time to time
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as required by the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Board, however, may delegate the duty of

pursuant to written contract or contracts which have obtained the requisite
approval, including the requisite approval of renewals thereof, of the Board
of Directors and/or the stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with

......Section 1. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The Board may, by resolution adopted by
      ---------
a majority of the entire Board, designate an Executive Committee consisting
of two or more of the directors of the Corporation, which committee shall
have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board with respect
to all matters other than:

authorization of stockholders pursuant to regulation or statute or the
Articles of Incorporation;

to be taken by the Board of Directors or a portion thereof by the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended;

      (e) the amendment or repeal of these By-Laws or the adoption of new

......Section 2. OTHER COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD. The Board of Directors may
      -----------
from time to time, by resolution adopted by a majority of the whole Board,
designate one or more other committees of the Board, each such committee to

Board may designate a chairman of any committee and such chairman or any two
members of any committee may fix the time and place of its meeting unless the
Board shall otherwise provide. In the absence or disqualification of any
member of any committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting
and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a
quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to
act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.
The Board shall have the power at any time to change the membership of any
committee, to fill all vacancies, to designate alternate members to replace
any absent or disqualified member, or to dissolve any such committee. Nothing
herein shall be deemed to prevent the Board from appointing one or more
committee consisting wholly or in part of persons who are not directors of
the Corporation; provided, however, that no such committee shall have or may
exercise any authority or power of the Board in the management of the
business or affairs of the Corporation.

......Section 1. NUMBER AND QUALIFICATIONS. Three officers of the Corporation
      ---------
shall be a President, who shall be a director of the Corporation, a
Secretary, and a Treasurer, each of whom shall be elected by the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors may elect or appoint one or more Vice
Presidents and may also appoint such other officers, agents and employees as
it may deem necessary or proper. Any two or more offices may be held by the
same person, except the offices of President and Vice President, but no
officer shall execute, acknowledge, or verify any instrument in more than one
capacity. Such officers shall be elected annually by the Board of Directors
for a one year term, each to hold office until his successor shall have been
duly elected and shall have qualified or, if earlier, until the death,
resignation, or removal of such officer, as hereinafter provided in these
By-Laws or as otherwise provided by statute or the Article of Incorporation.
The Board may from time to time elect, or delegate to the President the power
to appoint, such officers (including one or more Assistant Vice Presidents,
one or more Assistant Treasurers, and one or more Assistant Secretaries) and
such agents as may be necessary or desirable for the business of the
Corporation. Such other officers and agents shall have such duties and shall

appointing authority.

shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if the time when it shall
become effective is not specified therein, immediately upon its receipt, and,
unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall
not be necessary to make it effective.

......Section 3. REMOVAL OF OFFICER, AGENT, OR EMPLOYEE. Any officer, agent,
      ----------
or employee of the Corporation may be removed by the Board of Directors with
or without cause at any time, and the Board may delegate such power of
removal as to agents and employees not elected or appointed by the Board of
Directors. Such removal shall be without prejudice to such person's contract
rights, if any, but the appointment of any person as an officer, agent or
employee of the Corporation shall not of itself create contract rights.

......Section 4. VACANCIES. A vacancy in any office, whether arising from
      ----------
death, resignation, removal, or from any other cause, may be filled for the
unexpired portion of the term of the office which shall be vacant, in the
manner prescribed in these By-Laws for the regular election or appointment to
such office.

......Section 5. COMPENSATION. The compensation of the officers of the
      ----------
Corporation shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, but this power may be
delegated to any officer in respect of other officers under his control.

      ---------
officer, agent, or employee of the Corporation shall give a bond or other
security for the faithful performance of his duties, in such amount and with
such surety or sureties as the Board may require.

......Section 7. PRESIDENT. The President shall be the chief executive
      ----------
officer of the Corporation. Only members of the Board of Directors are
eligible to be President. In the absence of the Chairman of the Board (or if
there be none), he shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders and of
the Board of Directors. He shall have, subject to the control of the Board of
Directors, general charge of the business and affairs of the Corporation. He

......Section 8. VICE PRESIDENT. Each Vice President shall have such powers
      ----------
and perform such duties as the Board of Directors or the President may from
time to time prescribe.

......Section 9. TREASURER. The Treasurer shall:
      ---------

      (a) have charge and custody of, and be responsible for, all the funds
and securities of the Corporation, except those that the Corporation has
placed in the custody of a bank or trust company or member of a national
securities exchange (as that term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) pursuant to written agreement designating such bank or trust company
or member of a national securities exchange as custodian of the property of
the Corporation;

      (b) keep full and accurate account of receipts and disbursements in
books belonging to the Corporation;

      (c) cause all moneys and other valuables to be deposited to the credit

Treasurer and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him
by the Board or the President.

......Section 10. SECRETARY. The Secretary shall:

to be executed on behalf of the Corporation under its seal;

      (d) see that the books, reports, statements, certificates and other
documents and records required by law to be kept and filed are properly kept
and filed; and,

      (e) in general, perform all the duties incident to the office of
Secretary and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him
by the Board of the President.

......Section 11. DELEGATION OF DUTIES. In case of the absence of any officer
      ----------
of the Corporation, or for any other reason that the Board may seem
sufficient, the Board may confer for the time being the powers or duties, or
any of them,  of such officer upon any other officer or upon any director.

                                  ARTICLE VI
                               INDEMNIFICATION

......Section 1. RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION. Every person who is or was an
      ----------
officer, director, employee, or agent of the Corporation shall have a right
to be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law against all liability, judgments, fines, penalties,
settlements and reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with or
resulting from any threatened or actual claim, action, suit or proceeding,
whether criminal, civil, or administrative, in which he may become involved
as a party or otherwise by reason of his being or having been a director,
officer or employee, except as provided in Sections 2 and 3 of these By-Laws.

......Section 2. DISABLING CONDUCT. No such person shall be indemnified for
      ----------
any liabilities or expenses arising by means of "disabling conduct," whether
or not there is an adjudication of liability. "Disabling conduct" means
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of
the duties involved in the conduct of office.

      Whether any such liability arose out of disabling conduct shall be
determined: (a) by a final decision on the merits (including, but not limited
to, a dismissal for insufficient evidence of any disabling conduct) by a
court or other body before which the proceeding was brought that the person
seeking indemnification ("indemnitee") was not liable by reason of such
disabling conduct; or (b) in the absence of such a decision, by a reasonable
determination, based upon the review of the facts, that such person was not
liable by reason of disabling conduct, (i) by the vote of a majority of a
quorum of directors who are neither "interested persons" of the Corporation
(as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) nor parties to the action,
suit or proceeding in question ("disinterested, non-party directors"), or
(ii) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of
disinterested, non-party directors so directs or if such quorum is not
obtainable; or (iii) by a majority vote of the shareholders, or (iv) by any
other reasonable and fair means not inconsistent with any of the above.

      The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that any liability or expense
arose by reason of disabling conduct.

......Section 3. DIRECTORS' STANDARDS OF CONDUCT. No person who is or was a
      ---------
director shall be indemnified under this Article VI for any liabilities or
expenses incurred by reason of advice in that capacity if it is proved that
(1) the act or omission of the person was material to the cause of action
adjudicated in the proceeding, and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was
the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or (2) the person actually
received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services; or (3)
in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to
believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

......Section 4. EXPENSES PRIOR TO DETERMINATION. Any liabilities or expenses
      ----------
of the type described in Section 1 may be paid by the Corporation in advance
of the final disposition of the claim, action, suit or proceeding, as
authorized by the directors in a specific case, (a) upon receipt of a written
undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay the advance, unless it
shall be ultimately determined that such person is entitled to
indemnification; and (b) provided that (i) the indemnitee shall provide
security for that undertaking, or (ii) the Corporation shall be insured
against losses arising by reason of any lawful advance, or (iii) a majority
of a quorum of disinterested, non-party directors, or independent legal
counsel in a written option, shall determine, based on a review of readily
available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that there is
reason to believe the indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to
indemnification.

      A determination pursuant to subparagraph (c)(iii) of this Section 4
shall not prevent the recovery from any indemnitee of any amount advanced to
such person as indemnification if such person is subsequently determined not
to be entitled to indemnification; nor shall a determination pursuant to said
paragraph prevent the payment of indemnification if such person is
subsequently found to be entitled to indemnification.

......Section 5. PROVISIONS NOT EXCLUSIVE. The indemnification provided by
      ---------
this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which those
seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, agreement, vote of
shareholders, or otherwise.

......Section 6. GENERAL. No indemnification provided by this Article shall
      ----------
be inconsistent with the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Securities Act
of 1933 or the Maryland Corporations and Associations Code.

      Any indemnification provided by this Article shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer, or employee, and shall inure
to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

                                 ARTICLE VII
                                CAPITAL STOCK

......Section 1. STOCK CERTIFICATES. Each holder of stock of the Corporation
      ----------
shall be entitled upon request to have a certificate or certificates, in such
form as shall be approved by the Board, representing the number of shares of
stock of the Corporation owned by him; provided, however, that certificates
for fractional shares will not be delivered in any case. The certificates
representing shares of stock shall be signed by or in the name of the
Corporation by the President or a Vice President and by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer and sealed
with the seal of the Corporation. Any or all of the signatures or the seal on
the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or
registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a
certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or
registrar before such certificate shall be issued, it may be issued by the
Corporation with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent, or
registrar were still in office at the date of issue.

......Section 2. BOOKS OF ACCOUNT AND RECORD OF STOCKHOLDERS. There shall be
      ----------
kept at the principal executive office of the Corporation correct and
complete books and records of account of all the business and transactions of
the Corporation. There shall be made available upon request of any
stockholder, in accordance with Maryland law, a record containing the number
of shares of stock issued during a specified period not more than twelve
months before the date of the request and the consideration received by the
Corporation for each such share.

......Section 3.   TRANSFERS OF SHARES. Transfers of shares of stock of the
      ---------
Corporation shall be made on the stock records of the Corporation only by the

of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary or with a transfer
agent or transfer clerk, and on surrender of the certificate or certificates,
if issued, for such shares properly endorsed or accompanied by a duly
executed stock transfer power and on the payment of all taxes thereon. Except
as otherwise provided by law, the Corporation shall be entitled to recognize
the exclusive right of a person in whose name any share or shares stand on
the record of stockholders as the owner of such share or shares for all
purpose including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends or
other distributions and to vote as such owner and the Corporation shall not
be bound to recognize any equitable or legal claim to or interest in any such
share or shares on the part of any other person.

......Section 4. RULES AND REGULATIONS. The Board may make such additional
      ----------
rules and regulations, not inconsistent with these By-Laws, as it may deem
expedient concerning the issue, transfer, and registration of certificates
for shares of stock of the Corporation. It may appoint, or authorize any
officer or officers to appoint, one or more transfer agents or one or more
transfer clerks and one or more registrars and may require all certificates
for shares of stock to bear the signature or signatures of any of them.

......Section 5. LOST, DESTROYED, OR MUTILATED CERTIFICATES. Upon
      ----------
notification by the holder of any certificate representing shares of stock of
the Corporation of any loss, destruction, or mutilation of such certificate,
the Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in the place of any
certificate theretofore issued by it that the owner thereof shall allege to
have been lost or destroyed or which shall have been mutilated, and the Board
may, in its discretion, require such owner or his legal representative to
give to the Corporation bond in such sum as the Board may determine to be
sufficient, and in such form and with such surety or sureties, as the Board
in its absolute discretion shall determine, to indemnify the Corporation
against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss
or destruction of any such certificate, or issuance of a new certificate.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board, in its absolute
discretion, may refuse to issue any such new certificate, except pursuant to
legal proceedings under the laws of the State of Maryland.

......Section 6. FIXING OF A RECORD DATE FOR DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The
      ----------
Board may fix, in advance, a date not more than sixty days preceding the date
fixed for the payment of any dividend or the making of any distribution or
the allotment of rights to subscribe for securities of the Corporation, or
for the delivery of evidence of rights or evidences of interests arising out
of any change, conversion, or exchange of common stock or other securities,
as the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to
receive any such dividend, distribution, allotment, rights, or interests, and
in such case only the stockholders on record at the time so fixed shall be
entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, allotment, rights, or
interests.

......Section 7. REGISTERED OWNER OF SHARES. The Corporation shall be
      ----------
entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books
as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and
to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as
the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or
other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other
person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except
as otherwise provided by the laws of Maryland.

facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner
reproduced.
