stock then standing in his or her name in the books of the  Corporation,  and on
any matter submitted to the vote of shareholders,  all shares of the Corporation

     Each Class of stock of the Corporation shall have the following preferences
and special rights, restrictions, and limitations:

     (1) All consideration  received by the Corporation for the issue or sale of
stock of each Class, together with all income,  earnings,  profits, and proceeds
thereof,  and any  funds  or  payments  derived  from any  reinvestment  of such

asset value of the  respective  Classes.  In  addition,  such  holders  shall be
entitled to receive their proportionate share of assets of the Corporation which
do not belong solely to any particular  Class of shares of stock,  as determined
by the Board of Directors.
