     nomination or nominations are to be made by the stockholder;

          (iv) such other  information  regarding each nominee or each matter of
     business  to be  proposed  by such  stockholder  as would be required to be
     included  in a proxy  statement  filed  pursuant  to the proxy rules of the

     intended to be nominated,  or the matter been  proposed,  or intended to be
     proposed,  by the Board of Directors,  and such other information about the
     nominee as the Board of Directors  deems  appropriate,  including,  without
     limitation, the nominee's age, business and residence addresses,  principal
     occupation and the class and number of shares of Common Stock  beneficially
     owned by the nominee,  or such other  information  about the business to be
     proposed and about the stockholder making such business proposal before the

elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the same  remaining term as that

of Directors.

the presiding officer may appoint a secretary of the meeting.

     3.7. Action by Consent Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to
be taken at any meeting of the Board of  Directors or of any  committee  thereof

any committee designated by the Board.

     3.8. Action by Telephonic Conference. Members of the Board of Directors, or
any committee  designated by such Board,  may  participate  in a meeting of such

meeting  can  hear  each  other,  and  participation  in  such a  meeting  shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.

     3.9.  Committees.  (a)  The  Board  of  Directors  may,  by  resolution  or
resolutions  passed by a  majority  of the whole  Board,  designate  one or more
committees,  each  committee  to consist of one or more of the  directors of the
Corporation.  The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members
of any  committee,  who may  replace  any absent or  disqualified  member at any
meeting of the committee.  In the absence or  disqualification  of any member or
such committee or committees,  the member or members thereof present at any such
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.

     (b) Any  such  committee,  to the  extent  provided  in the  resolution  or
resolutions of the Board of Directors,  or in these by-laws,  shall have and may
exercise  all  the  powers  and  authority  of the  Board  of  Directors  in the
management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the
seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no
such  committee  shall have the power of  authority in reference to amending the

recommending  to  the  stockholders  the  sale,  lease  or  exchange  of  all or
substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets,  recommending to the
stockholders a dissolution of the  Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution,

time to time determine.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude
any director  from  serving in any other  capacity  and  receiving  compensation
therefor.

be entitled to have a certificate  signed by, or in the name of, the Corporation
by the Chairman or the President or a Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an
Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant  Secretary,  certifying the
number of shares owned by him.

     (b) If such certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent other than the
Corporation or its employee, or by a registrar other than the Corporation or its
employee,  the signatures of the officers of the  Corporation may be facsimiles,
and, if permitted by law, any other signature may be a facsimile.

     (c) In case any officer  who has signed or whose  facsimile  signature  has
been placed upon a certificate  shall have ceased to be such officer before such
certificate is issued,  it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect
as if he were such officer at the date of issue.

     (d)  Certificates  of stock  shall be issued in such form not  inconsistent
with the  Certificate  of  Incorporation  as shall be  approved  by the Board of
Directors.  They shall be numbered and registered in the order in which they are
issued.

     (e) All certificates surrendered to the Corporation shall be cancelled with
the date of cancellation,  and shall be retained by the Secretary, together with

to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.

     5.2.  Record  Ownership.  A record of the name and address of the holder of
each certificate, the number of shares represented thereby and the date of issue
thereof  shall be made on the  Corporation's  books.  The  Corporation  shall be
entitled  to treat  the  holder  of any  share of  stock as the  holder  in fact
thereof,  and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other
claim to or  interest in any share on the part of any other  person,  whether or
not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as required by law.

     5.3. Transfer of Record Ownership.  Transfers of stock shall be made on the
books  of  the  Corporation  only  by  direction  of  the  person  named  in the
certificate or his attorney,  lawfully constituted in writing, and only upon the

evidenced  thereby.  Whenever any transfer of stock shall be made for collateral

transfer, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so.

     5.4.  Lost,  Stolen or Destroyed  Certificates.  Certificates  representing
shares  of the  stock  of the  Corporation  shall  be  issued  in  place  of any

authorize.

     5.5.  Transfer  Agent;  Registrar;   Rules  Respecting  Certificates.   The

transferable.  The  Corporation  may also maintain one or more registry  offices
where such stock shall be registered. The Board of Directors may make such rules
and  regulations  as it may deem expedient  concerning  the issue,  transfer and
registration of stock certificates.

     5.6. Fixing Record Date for  Determination  of Stockholders of Record.  The
Board of  Directors  may fix,  in  advance,  a date as the  record  date for the
purpose of  determining  stockholders  entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any
meeting of the  stockholders or any  adjournment  thereof,  or the  stockholders
entitled  to  receive  payment  of any  dividend  or other  distribution  or the
allotment  of any rights,  or entitled to exercise  any rights in respect of any
change,  conversion  or exchange of stock,  or to express  consent to  corporate
action in writing without a meeting,  or in order to make a determination of the
stockholders for the purpose of any other lawful action. Such record date in any
case shall be not more than sixty days nor less than ten days before the date of
a meeting  of the  stockholders,  nor more than  sixty  days  prior to any other
action  requiring such  determination  of the  stockholders.  A determination of
stockholders  of  record  entitled  to  notice  or  to  vote  at  a  meeting  of
stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;  provided,  however,
that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

     5.7.   Dividends.   Subject  to  the  provisions  of  the   Certificate  of
Incorporation,  the  Board of  Directors  may,  out of funds  legally  available
therefor at any regular or special meeting,  declare  dividends upon the capital
stock of the Corporation as and when they deem expedient.  Before  declaring any
dividend  there may be set apart out of any funds of the  Corporation  available
for  dividends,  such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time in
their  discretion  deem proper for working  capital or as a reserve fund to meet
contingencies  or for  equalizing  dividends  or for such other  purposes as the
Board of Directors shall deem conducive to the interests of the Corporation.
