Cumulative Preferred Stock:


The Cumulative Preferred Stock has been issued in series. The initial series of Cumulative Preferred Stock consists of 375,000 shares, designated “Cumulative Preferred Stock, 5% Series, $20 par value.” The remaining series consist of the following: 300,000 shares, designated “Cumulative Preferred Stock, 4 ½% Series, $20 par value”; 325,000 shares, designated “ Cumulative Preferred Stock, 4.40% Series, $20 par value”; and 375,000 shares designated “Cumulative Preferred Stock, 4.60% Series, $20 par value.” Each series is entitled to dividends at the rate, is subject to redemption at the price and has the liquidating preferences, hereinafter set forth. All shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock purchased or redeemed by the Corporation shall be retired and cancelled and none of such shares shall thereafter be reissued.


2.

Preference Stock (Cumulative):


Shares of the Preference Stock (Cumulative) may be issued in one or more series, and each series shall be distinguished from each other series by a serial or other

B.

GENERAL VOTING RIGHTS


1.

Cumulative Preferred Stock:


Except as hereinafter provided in Section C of Part 1 of this Article FIFTH or as otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to two votes for each share of stock held by such holders on all questions upon which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote, and on any question as to which it is at the time provided by law that action may be taken on approval by vote of a specified percentage of the outstanding shares the vote of stockholders holding such specified percentage of the voting power shall also be required.


2.

Preference Stock (Cumulative):


The holders of shares of Preference Stock (Cumulative) shall have no voting rights except as hereinafter provided in Section C of part I of this Article FIFTH or as otherwise required by law.


C.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL SERIES OF SENIOR PREFERRED STOCK


1.

Special Voting Rights:


The affirmative consent (given in writing or by vote at a meeting duly called for that purpose) of the holders of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of shares of Senior Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be necessary in order to:


a.

Increase the authorized number of shares of Senior Preferred Stock or create or authorize any class of stock which shall be entitled to any preference over, or to parity with, the Senior Preferred Stock;


b.

Make any change in any of the provisions relative to the Senior Preferred Stock or any series thereof, which would change the express terms or provisions of such stock in any manner prejudicial to the holders thereof, except that if such change is prejudicial to the holders of one or more, but not all of such series, the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the total number of shares then outstanding of the series so affected shall be required; or


c.

Merge with or consolidate into any other corporation or corporations, provided that the provisions of this sub-paragraph c shall not apply to the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation or to a purchase or other acquisition by the Corporation of franchises or assets of another corporation in any manner which does not involve a merger or consolidation.





For the purposes of this paragraph 1, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the Preference Stock (Cumulative) shall vote and be referred to as one class and shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock so held.

  

Nothing in this paragraph 1 provided shall require the consent or vote of the holders of shares of any series of Senior Preferred Stock for the creation of any class of stock entitled to any preference over, or to parity with, such series of Senior Preferred Stock, as to dividend or assets, if the purpose of the creation thereof is, and the proceeds derived from the issue and sale thereof are to be used for, the redemption of all shares of such series of Senior Preferred Stock then outstanding.


If and whenever dividends accrued and unpaid on the outstanding Senior Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, equal or exceed an amount equivalent to eight full quarterly dividends on all shares of any series of the Senior Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, then until all dividends in default on the Senior Preferred Stock shall have been paid, or declared and set aside, the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock voting together as one class, shall be entitled to elect the smallest number of directors necessary to constitute a majority of the full Board of Directors, and the holders of the Junior Stock entitled to vote with respect to the election of directors, voting separately from the Senior Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to elect the remaining members of the Board of Directors.


If and when all dividends theretofore in default on the Senior Preferred Stock shall be paid, or declared and set aside (and such dividends shall be declared and paid out of any funds legally available therefor, as soon as reasonably practicable) the holders of Senior Preferred Stock shall thereupon be divested of such special right to elect any members of the Board of Directors, but subject always to the same provisions for the vesting of special rights of the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock in case of further like default or defaults.


Whenever, under the provisions hereof, a change in the voting powers of the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock and Junior Stock shall have occurred, a meeting of the holders of such stock shall be held upon notice promptly given, as provided in the By-Laws of the Corporation for a special meeting of stockholders, by the President or the Secretary of the Corporation.  If within fifteen days after the accrual or termination of such special right of the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock or Junior Stock, with respect to the election of directors, the President and the Secretary of the Corporation shall fail to call such meeting, (to be held on a date not more than thirty days after the mailing of the notice therefor), then such meeting shall be held upon notice as provided in the By-Laws for a special meeting of stockholders given by the holders of not less than one thousand shares of Senior Preferred Stock or Junior Stock after filing with the Corporation a notice of their intention to do so.


At all meetings of stockholders held for the purpose of electing directors, during such times as the holders of shares of the Senior Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the presence in person or by proxy of the majority of the outstanding shares of all series of the Senior Preferred Stock entitled to vote shall be required to constitute a quorum for the election of such directors, and the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Junior Stock entitled to vote shall be required to constitute a quorum of the Junior Stock for the election of directors; provided, however, that the absence of a quorum of




the holders of either stock shall not prevent the election at any such meeting, or an adjournment thereof, of directors by the other such stock if the necessary quorum of the holders of such other stock of such class is present in person or by proxy at such meeting; and provided further that in the absence of a quorum of the holders of either such stock, a majority of those holders of such stock who are present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting for the election of the directors to be elected by such stock from time to time without notice, other than announcement at the meeting, until the requisite amount of holders of such stock shall be present in person or by proxy, but such adjournment shall not be made to a date beyond the date for the mailing of notice of the next annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting in lieu thereof.


Forthwith upon the election of a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation by the holders of Senior Preferred Stock pursuant to the foregoing provisions hereof, the terms of office of all persons who were directors of the Corporation immediately prior to such election shall terminate, whether or not holders of Junior Stock entitled to vote with the respect to the election of directors shall then have elected the remaining members of the Board of Directors, and if the holders of Junior Stock entitled to vote with respect to the election of directors shall not have elected the remaining members of the Board of Directors, then the directors so elected by the holders of Senior Preferred Stock shall constitute the Board of Directors pending such election of the remaining directors by such holders of Junior Stock.  Upon the reversion pursuant to the foregoing provisions of the voting powers to their status prior to default, then forthwith, upon the election of new directors by the holders of all stock of the Corporation, the term of office of the directors elected by vote of the holders of Senior Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate.


2.

Dividends:


The holders of the Senior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of the surplus or net profits of the Corporation, cumulative dividends at the full cumulative rate and no more, payable quarterly at dates fixed by the Board of Directors, before any dividend shall be declared, set aside for, or paid upon the Junior Stock, but accumulations of dividends shall not bear interest.  Dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock shall accrue from the date of issuance thereof.


3.

Redemption provisions:


The Corporation, at the option of the Board of Directors, may redeem at any time or times or from time to time the whole or any part of the Senior Preferred Stock, or the whole or any part of any series thereof at the time outstanding at such price or prices as shall have been fixed as being payable in case of redemption in respect thereof, together with the amount of any dividends accrued or unpaid thereon to the date of redemption.


At least thirty days’ previous notice of every such redemption of Senior Preferred Stock shall be mailed, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses, as the same shall appear on the books of the Corporation, or in any case where no such address shall appear, then addressed to such stockholder at the principal office of the Corporation, but the failure to mail such notice as aforesaid shall not invalidate the redemption of the shares so redeemed.





Unless the certificate setting forth the preferences fixed by the Board of Directors for any series shall otherwise provide, in the case of a redemption of a part only of any series of the Senior Preferred Stock at any time outstanding the Corporation shall select by lot the shares of such series so to be redeemed.  Subject to the limitations and provisions herein contained, the Board of Directors shall have full power and authority to prescribe the manner in which the selection by lot shall be made.


If notice of redemption shall have been given by mail as herein above provided and the Corporation shall, on or prior to the date fixed for redemption, deposit in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock to be redeemed, with a bank or trust company in good standing, organized under the laws of the United States of America or of the State of California, and doing business in the City of San Diego, California, or in the City of Los Angeles, California, a sum sufficient to redeem the shares called for redemption, together with irrevocable written instructions and authority to such bank or trust company, on behalf of the Corporation, to pay on or after the time of making such deposit, to the respective holders of all such shares, the redemption price thereof, together with accrued dividends, upon the surrender for cancellation of the certificates representing such shares, then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption) notwithstanding that any certificate for the shares of Senior Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, all shares of Senior Preferred Stock with respect to which such deposit shall have been made shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights with respect to such shares of Senior Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate except only the right of the holders thereof to receive from such bank or trust company, at any time after the time of the making of such deposit, the redemption price of such shares so to be redeemed, together with accrued dividends, in the case of each share to be so redeemed, to the date fixed for redemption, but without interest thereon.  Any moneys so deposited by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of six years from the dated fixed for such redemption shall be repaid to the Corporation upon its request expressed in a resolution of its Board of Directors after which repayment the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Corporation for the payment thereof.  


4.

Rights on Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up of the Corporation:


In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of the Senior Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to be paid in full, out of the assets of the Corporation, without priority between series, the respective liquidation price (for voluntary or involuntary liquidation) fixed for each series, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation prior to any payment or distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Junior Stock.

     B.   GENERAL VOTING RIGHTS.

     Except as hereinafter provided in Section C of Part I of

this Article FIFTH or as otherwise required by law, the

holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be

entitled to two votes for each share of stock held by such

holders on all questions upon which the holders of Common

Stock are entitled to vote, and on any question as to which it

is at the time provided by law that action may be taken on

approval by vote of a specified percentage of the outstanding

shares the vote of stockholders holding such specified

percentage of the voting power shall also be required.


2.   Preference Stock (Cumulative):


     The holders of shares of Preference Stock (Cumulative)

shall have no voting rights except as hereinafter provided in

Section C of part I of this Article FIFTH or as otherwise

required by law.




C.   PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL SERIES OF PREFERRED STOCK.


1.   Special Voting Rights:


     The affirmative consent (given in writing or by vote at a

meeting duly called for that purpose) of the holders of at

least two-thirds of the aggregate number of shares of

Cumulative Preferred Stock and Preference Stock (Cumulative),

hereinafter collectively referred to as "Preferred Stock",

then outstanding shall be necessary in order to:


a.   Increase the authorized number of shares of Preferred

Stock or create or authorize any class of stock which shall be

entitled to any preference over, or to parity with, the

Preferred Stock;


b.   Make any change in any of the provisions relative to the

Preferred Stock or any series thereof, which would change the

express terms or provisions of such stock in any manner

prejudicial to the holders thereof, except that if such change

is prejudicial to the holders of one or more, but not all of

such series, the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the

total number of shares then outstanding of the series so

affected shall be required; or


c.   Merge with or consolidate into any other corporation or

corporations, provided that the provisions of this sub-

paragraph c shall not apply to the merger of a wholly-owned

subsidiary of the Corporation or to a purchase or other

acquisition by the Corporation of franchises or assets of

another corporation in any manner which does not involve a

merger or consolidation.


     For the purposes of this paragraph 1, the holders of the

Preferred Stock shall vote and be referred to as one class and

shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock so held.


     Nothing in this paragraph 1 provided shall require the

consent or vote of the holders of shares of any series of

Preferred Stock for the creation of any class of stock

entitled to any preference over, or to parity with, such

series of Preferred Stock, as to dividend or assets, if the

purpose of the creation thereof is, and the proceeds derived

from the issue and sale thereof are to be used for, the

redemption of all shares of such series of Preferred Stock

then outstanding.


     If and whenever dividends accrued and unpaid on the

outstanding Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, equal or

exceed an amount equivalent to eight full quarterly dividends

on all shares of any series of the Preferred Stock at the time

outstanding, then until all dividends in default on the

Preferred Stock shall have been paid, or declared and set

aside, the holders of the Preferred Stock voting together as

one class, shall be entitled to elect the smallest number of

directors necessary to constitute a majority of the full Board

of Directors, and the holders of the Common Stock, voting




separately as a class, shall be entitled to elect the

remaining members of the Board of Directors.


     If and when all dividends theretofore in default on the

Preferred Stock shall be paid, or declared and set aside (and

such dividends shall be declared and paid out of any funds

legally available therefor, as soon as reasonably practicable)

the holders of Preferred Stock shall thereupon be divested of

such special right to elect any members of the Board of

Directors, but subject always to the same provisions for the

vesting of special rights of the holders of the Preferred

Stock in case of further like default or defaults.


     Whenever, under the provisions hereof, a change in the

voting powers of the holders of the Preferred Stock and Common

Stock shall have occurred, a meeting of the holders of such

stock shall be held upon notice promptly given, as provided in

the By-Laws of the Corporation for a special meeting of

stockholders, by the President or the Secretary of the

Corporation.  If within fifteen days after the accrual or

termination of such special right of the holders of the

Preferred Stock or Common Stock, with respect to the election

of directors, the President and the Secretary of the

Corporation shall fail to call such meeting, (to be held on a

date not more than thirty days after the mailing of the notice

therefor), then such meeting shall be held upon notice as

provided in the By-Laws for a special meeting of stockholders

given by the holders of not less than one thousand shares of

Preferred Stock or Common Stock after filing with the

Corporation a notice of their intention to do so.


     At all meetings of stockholders held for the purpose of

electing directors, during such times as the holders of shares

of the Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect directors

pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the presence in person

or by proxy of the majority of the outstanding shares of all

series of the Preferred Stock entitled to vote shall be

required to constitute a quorum of such combined class for the

election of such directors, and the presence in person or by

proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares

of the Common Stock shall be required to constitute a quorum

of such class for the election of directors; provided,

however, that the absence of a quorum of the holders of either

such class shall not prevent the election at any such meeting,

or an adjournment thereof, or directors by the other such

class if the necessary quorum of the holders of stock of such

class is present in person or by proxy at such meeting; and

provided further that in the absence of a quorum of the

holders of stock of either of such class, a majority of those

holders of the stock of such class who are present in person

or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting for

the election of the directors to be elected by such class from

time to time without notice, other than announcement at the

meeting, until the requisite amount of holders of such class

shall be present in person or by proxy, but such adjournment

shall not be made to a date beyond the date for the mailing of

notice of the next annual meeting of stockholders or special




meeting in lieu thereof.


     Forthwith upon the election of a majority of the Board of

Directors of the Corporation by the holders of Preferred Stock

pursuant to the foregoing provisions hereof, the terms of

office of all persons who were directors of the Corporation

immediately prior to such election shall terminate, whether or

not holders of Common Stock entitled to vote shall then have

elected the remaining members of the Board of Directors, and

if the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote shall not have

elected the remaining members of the Board of Directors, then

the directors so elected by the holders of Preferred Stock

shall constitute the Board of Directors pending such election

of the remaining directors by such holders of Common Stock.

Upon the reversion pursuant to the foregoing provisions of the

voting powers to their status prior to default, then

forthwith, upon the election of new directors by the holders

of all stock of the Corporation, the term of office of the

directors elected by vote of the holders of Preferred Stock

shall forthwith terminate.


2.   Dividends:


     The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to

receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out

of the surplus or net profits of the Corporation, cumulative

dividends at the full cumulative rate and no more, payable

quarterly at dates fixed by the Board of Directors, before any

dividend shall be declared, set aside for, or paid upon the

Common Stock, but accumulations of dividends shall not bear

interest.  Dividends on the Preferred Stock shall accrue from

the date of issuance thereof.


3.   Redemption provisions:


     The Corporation, at the option of the Board of Directors,

may redeem at any time or times or from time to time the whole

or any part of the Preferred Stock, or the whole or any part

of any series thereof at the time outstanding at such price or

prices as shall have been fixed as being payable in case of

redemption in respect thereof, together with the amount of any

dividends accrued or unpaid thereon to the date of redemption.


     At least thirty days' previous notice of every such

redemption of Preferred Stock shall be mailed, addressed to

the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their

respective addresses, as the same shall appear on the books of

the Corporation, or in any case where no such address shall

appear, then addressed to such stockholder at the principal

office of the Corporation, but the failure to mail such notice

as aforesaid shall not invalidate the redemption of the shares

so redeemed.

fixed by the Board of Directors for any series shall otherwise

provide, in the case of a redemption of a part only of any

series of the Preferred Stock at any time outstanding the




Corporation shall select by lot the shares of such series so

to be redeemed.  Subject to the limitations and provisions

herein contained, the Board of Directors shall have full power

and authority to prescribe the manner in which the selection

by lot shall be made.


     If notice of redemption shall have been given by mail as

herein above provided and the Corporation shall, on or prior

to the date fixed for redemption, deposit in trust, for the

benefit of the holders of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed,

to pay on or after the time of making such deposit, to the

respective holders of all such shares, the redemption price

thereof, together with accrued dividends, upon the surrender

for cancellation of the certificates representing such shares,

then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior

to the date fixed for redemption) notwithstanding that any

certificate for the shares of Preferred Stock so called for

redemption shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,

all shares of Preferred Stock with respect to which such

deposit shall have been made shall no longer be deemed to be

outstanding, and all rights with respect to such shares of

Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate except only the

right of the holders thereof to receive from such bank or

trust company, at any time after the time of the making of

such deposit, the redemption price of such shares so to be

redeemed, together with accrued dividends, in the case of each

share to be so redeemed, to the date fixed for redemption, but

without interest thereon.  Any moneys so deposited by the

Corporation and unclaimed at the end of six years from the

date fixed for such redemption shall be repaid to the

Corporation upon its request expressed in a resolution of its

Board of Directors after which repayment the holders of the

shares so called for redemption shall look only to the

Corporation for the payment thereof.

up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the

CERTIFICATE OF DETERMINATION



     The undersigned, J. E. Thomas, President, and D. M.

Richardson, Secretary, of SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY, a

corporation organized under the laws of the State of

California, and having its office and principal place of

business in the City of San Diego, County of San Diego, State

     1.   On December 2, 1992, a special meeting of the

Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of this

corporation was duly held in its principal office at 101 Ash

Street, San Diego, California.  A quorum of said Committee was

at all times present and acting at said meeting.  Pursuant to

Article FIFTH of this Corporation's Restated Articles of

Incorporation, as amended, and the authority vested in the

Executive Committee by the Board of Directors on February 24,

1992, the following resolution was duly adopted by the

unanimous vote of the Executive Committee members present:


     NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this Executive

Committee of the Board does hereby amend the designation of

the Preference Stock (Cumulative), $2.0625 Series, Without Par

Value", to be as follows:  "Preference Stock (Cumulative),

$1.7625 Series, Without Par Value" (referred to hereinafter as

the "$1.7625 Series Preference Stock"), does hereby leave the

number of shares constituting such series of Preferred Stock

(Cumulative) unaltered at one million four hundred thousand

(1,400,000), and does hereby amend the rights, preferences,

privileges, and restrictions of such series of Preference

Stock (Cumulative) to be as follows:


SECTION 1

DIVIDEND RATE, LIQUIDATION PREFERENCES


     1.1  Dividend Rate.  The holders of the $1.7625 Series

Preference Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative

dividends at the rate of $.440625 per share per quarter-annual

period from the date on which each respective share of the

$1.7625 Series Preference Stock is originally issued.  Such

dividends shall be payable on January 15, 1993 for the period

commencing on the date of original issuance of the $1.7625

Series Preference Stock and ending on said January 15, and

thereafter quarterly on the fifteenth day of January, April,

July and October in each year.


     1.2  Pro-Rata Dividends.  The corporation shall not

declare or pay any dividend on any shares of the $1.7625

Series Preference Stock or on any shares of any other series

of Preference Stock (Cumulative) or Cumulative Preferred Stock

of the Corporation (together, the "Preferred Stock") which




ranks on a parity with the $1.7625 Series Preference Stock for

any quarter-annual dividend period unless the Corporation

shall declare and pay or set apart for payment a ratable

dividend on the $1.7625 Series Preference Stock and such

parity Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential

amounts to which each such series is entitled.


     1.3  Liquidation Preferences.  In the event of any

liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the

holders of the $1.7625 Series Preference Stock shall be

entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation

available for distribution to shareholders, before any

distribution of the assets shall be made to the holders of the

Common Stock or any other class or series of stock ranking as

to dividends or assets junior to the $1.7625 Series Preference

Stock, $25 per share, plus an amount equal to the dividends

accrued and unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, to the

date fixed for payment.


     1.4. Pro-Rata Distribution.  If upon any liquidation,

dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the amounts

payable with respect to the $1.7625 Series Preference Stock

and any other series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation

which ranks on a parity with the $1.7625 Series Preference

Stock are not paid in full, the holders of the $1.7625 Series

Preference Stock and such parity Preferred Stock shall share

ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the

full preferential amounts to which they are entitled.


SECTION 2

SINKING FUND, REDEMPTION


     2.1  Sinking Fund Redemption.  So long as any shares of

the $1.7625 Series Preference Stock shall be outstanding, the

Corporation, as a sinking fund of the redemption thereof

(hereinafter called the "Sinking Fund"), shall set aside,

after full payment or provision for payment of dividends

accrued on all stock on a parity with the $1.7625 Series

Preference Stock or senior thereto, in cash out of any monies

legally available for the redemption of shares, on January 15,

2003 and on the 15 day of January in each year thereafter, a

sum equal to $1,250,000 (or, if less than 50,000 shares of the

$1.7625 Series Preference Stock are then outstanding, a sum

equal to $25 times the number of shares of the $1.7625 Series

Preference Stock then outstanding), plus an amount equal to

dividends accrued and unpaid on 50,000 shares of the $1.7625

Series Preference Stock (or the number of shares of the

$1.7625 Series Preference Stock then outstanding if less than

50,000).  So long as any shares of the $1.7625 Series

Preference Stock shall be outstanding, on January 15, 2003,

and on the 15th day of January in each year thereafter, the

Corporation shall redeem 50,000 shares of the $1.7625 Series

Preference Stock (or the number of shares of the $1.7625

Series Preference Stock then outstanding if less than 50,000)

at the price of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid

dividends thereon, using for each such redemption the monies

theretofore set aside as the Sinking Fund.  The obligations of




the Corporation under this section 2.1 shall be cumulative, so

that if the full number of shares required to be redeemed on

any January 15 are not so redeemed, the redemption shall be

made as soon thereafter as funds become available therefor and

redemption can be effected in compliance with California law.


     In addition, if any shares of the $1.7625 Series

Preference Stock are then outstanding, the Corporation, as

part of the Sinking Fund for the redemption thereof, shall set

aside, after full payment or provision for payment of

dividends accrued on all stock on a parity with the $1.7625

Series Preference Stock or senior thereto, in cash out of any

monies legally available for the redemption of shares, on

January 15, 2008, a sum equal to $25 times the number of

shares of the $1.7625 Series Preference Stock then

outstanding, plus an amount equal to dividends accrued and

unpaid on the number of shares of the $1.7625 Series

Corporation shall redeem any and all shares of $1.7625 Series

Preference Stock then outstanding at the price of $25 per

share plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, using for

such redemption the monies theretofore set aside as the

Sinking Fund.  If the full number of shares required to be

redeemed on January 15, 2008 are not so redeemed, the

redemption shall be made as soon thereafter as funds become

available therefor and redemption can be effected in

compliance with California law.


     2.2  Optional Redemption.  In addition to the mandatory

sinking fund payments and redemptions pursuant to section

2.1, the Corporation may at its option set aside additional

monies in the Sinking Fund and redeem up to an additional

50,000 shares of the $1.7625 Series Preference Stock on

January 15, 2003, and on the 15th day of January in any year

thereafter, at the price of $25 per share plus accrued and

unpaid dividends thereon; provided, however, that the right to

make such optional payments and up to 50,000 shares per year

redemptions shall be non-cumulative.


     2.3  Credit for Repurchases.  Any shares of the $1.7625

Series Preference Stock acquired by the Corporation from time

to time by way of purchase other than pursuant to section 2.1

and/or section 2.2 may be applied to reduce any of the Sinking

Fund obligations, including those set forth in either or both

of the paragraphs of section 2.1.


     2.4  General.  At least thirty (but not more than sixty)

days' previous notice of every redemption of the $1.7625

Series Preference Stock pursuant to section 2.1 and/or section

2.2 shall be mailed, addressed to the holders of record of the

shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses, as the

same shall appear on the books of the Corporation, or in any

case where no such address shall appear, then addressed to

such stockholder at the principal office of the Corporation,

but the failure to mail such notice as aforesaid shall not

invalidate the redemption of the shares so redeemed.  The

particular share of $1.7625 Series Preference Stock to be




redeemed by reason of section 2.1 and/or section 2.2 shall be

determined by the Corporation by lot.
