Certificate of Incorporation to read as follows:

"FOURTH: The amount of the total authorized capital stock of the 
corporation is four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000.) divided into 
four thousand shares of the par value of one hundred dollars each; 
the amount of the capital stock with which the corporation will 
commence business is one thousand dollars divided into ten shares of the
par value of one hundred dollars each.

"Of said capital stock of the corporation, to-wit: 
Four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000.), one hundred thousand dollars,
represented by one thousand shares of the par value of one hundred 
dollars each, shall be preferred stock and three hundred thousand dollars,
represented by three thousand shares of the par value of one hundred 
dollars each, shall be common stock. No voting powers shall attach to 
the shares of preferred stock.

"The holders of said preferred stock shall be entitled to 
receive during each fiscal year, out of the net earnings of the company,
preferential cumulative dividends at the rate of six per centum (6%)
payable quarterly, half yearly or yearly as the Board of Directors shall 
from time to time determine, but shall have no other preference; that is 
to say, no dividend shall be paid in any year upon the common stock 
unless and until the preferred stock shall have received dividends at the 
rate of six per centum (6%) per annum from the time of issue thereof. 
The holders of preferred stock shall not be entitled to any dividend in 
excess of said six per centum (6%) per annum, but only the holders 
of the common stock shall be entitled to share in any further dividend 
which shall be declared or paid in any year."

FURTHER RESOLVED that a meeting of the stockholders, to take action 
on the foregoing resolution be called, to be held at the principal office
