 BOARD OF DIRECTORS


A.

Classified Board. The number of directors of the Corporation (exclusive of directors to be elected by the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock voting separately as a class or classes) shall be nine (9) or such other number as may be fixed from time to time by action of not less than a majority of the members of the Board of Directors then in office but in no event more than nine (9) or less than three (3). Nominations for directors shall be made in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation. The Board of Directors (exclusive of directors to be elected by the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock voting separately as a class or classes) shall be divided into three classes: Class A, Class B and Class C. The number of directors in each class shall be the whole number contained in the quotient arrived at by dividing the authorized number of directors by three, and if a fraction is also contained in such quotient, then if such fraction is one-third, the extra director shall be a member of Class A and if the fraction is two-thirds, one of the extra directors shall be a member of Class A and the other shall be a member of Class B. Each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected; provided, however, that the directors first elected to Class A shall serve for a term ending on the date of the annual meeting next following the end of the calendar year 2006, the directors first elected to Class B shall serve for a term ending on the date of the second annual meeting next following the end of the calendar year 2007, and the directors first elected to Class C shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting next following the end of the calendar year 2008. Notwithstanding the foregoing formula provisions, in the event that, as a result of any change in the authorized number of directors, the number of directors in any class would differ from the number allocated to that class under the formula provided in this Article SIXTH immediately prior to such change, the following rules shall govern:


(i) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which such director is a member until the expiration of his current term, death, resignation or removal;




4

57592v3-3462-001


(ii) at each subsequent election of directors, even if the number of directors in the class whose term of office then expires is less than the number then allocated to that class under said formula, the number of directors then elected for membership in that class shall not be greater than the number of directors in that class whose term of office then expires, unless and to the extent that the aggregate number of directors then elected plus the number of directors in all classes then duly continuing in office does not exceed the then authorized number of directors of the Corporation;


(iii) at each subsequent election of directors, if the number of directors in the class whose term of office then expires exceeds the number then allocated to that class under said formula, the Board of Directors shall designate one or more of the directorships then being elected as directors of another class or classes in which the number or directors then serving is less than the number then allocated to such other class or classes under said formula;


(iv) in the event of the death, resignation or removal of any director who is a member of a class in which the number of directors serving immediately preceding the creation of such vacancy exceeded the number then allocated to that class under said formula, the Board of Directors shall designate the vacancy thus created as a vacancy in another class in which the number of directors then serving is less than the number then allocated to such other class under said formula;


(v) in the event of any increase in the authorized number of directors, the newly created directorships resulting from such increase shall be apportioned by the Board of Directors to such class or classes as shall, so far as possible, bring the composition of each of the classes into conformity with the formula in this Article SIXTH, as it applies to the number of directors authorized immediately following  such increase; and


(vi) designation of directorships or vacancies into other classes and apportionments of newly created directorships to classes by the Board of Directors under the foregoing items (iii), (iv) and (v) shall, so far as possible, be effected so that the class whose term of office is due to expire next following such designation or apportionment shall contain the full number of directors then allocated to said class under said formula. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article SIXTH, each director shall serve until his successor is elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal.


B.

Election By Holders Of Preferred Stock. During any period when the holders of any Preferred Stock or any one or more series thereof, voting as a class, shall be entitled to elect a specified number of directors, by reason of dividend arrearages or other provisions giving them the right to do so, then and during such time as such right continues (i) the then otherwise authorized number of directors shall be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock or such series thereof, voting as a class, shall be entitled to elect the additional director(s) so provided for, pursuant to the provisions of such Preferred Stock or series; (ii) each such additional director shall serve for such term, and have such voting powers, as shall be stated in the provisions pertaining to such Preferred Stock or series; and (iii) whenever the holders of any such Preferred Stock or series thereof are divested of such rights to elect a specified number of directors, voting as a class, pursuant to the provisions of such Preferred Stock or series, the terms of office of all directors elected by the holders of such Preferred Stock or series, voting as a class pursuant to such provisions or elected to fill any



5

57592v3-3462-001


vacancies resulting from the death, resignation or removal of directors so elected by the holders of such Preferred Stock or series, shall forthwith terminate and the authorized number of directors shall be reduced accordingly.
