                                   ARTICLE IV

                                  CAPITAL STOCK

          4.1. Stock Certificates and Uncertificated Shares

          The shares of stock of the Company may be represented by certificates
or may be uncertificated. Each holder of stock in the Company shall be entitled
to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Company by, the Chairman
of the Board, President or any Vice President and by the Treasurer or Assistant
Treasurer or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, certifying the number of
shares owned by him in the Company. Where any such certificate is countersigned
by a transfer agent other than the Company or its employee, or by a registrar
other than the Company or its employee, any other signature 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) any such
certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar
before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Company with the same
effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of
issue. Absent a specific request for such a certificate by the registered owner
or transferee thereof, all shares may be uncertificated upon the original
issuance thereof by the Company or upon surrender of the certificate
representing such shares to the Company or its transfer agent.

          4.2. Lost Stock Certificates

          The Board of Directors may direct uncertificated shares or, if
requested by the registered owner, a new certificate or certificates to be
issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the
Company alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit
of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost or
destroyed. When authorizing such issue of uncertificated shares or a new
certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and
as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost
or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to
advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Company
a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be
made against the Company with respect to the certificate alleged to have been
lost or destroyed.

          4.3. Transfers of Stock

     Transfers of record of shares of the capital stock of the Company shall be
made upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by attorney duly
authorized, and upon either the surrender of a certificate or certificates for a
like number of shares, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly endorsed
stock power, or upon presentation of proper transfer instructions from the
holder of record of uncertificated shares.

          4.4. Regulations

     Except to the extent that the exercise of such power shall be prohibited or
circumscribed by these By-Laws, by the Certificate of Incorporation, or other
certificate filed pursuant to law, or by statute, the Board of Directors shall
have power to make such rules and regulations


                                       6



concerning the issuance, registration, transfer and cancellation of stock
certificates and uncertificated shares as it shall deem appropriate.
