registrant,  payable on December 1, 1999 to stockholders of record of such stock
at the close of business on October 31, 1999.

                  board of directors with registrant's financial condition,  the
                  results  of its  operations,  and  its  prospects  for  future
                  investments  in growth,  at the times of the  declarations  of
                  such dividends; and

         b.       Subject to the  discretion  and  satisfaction  of the board as
                  aforesaid in declaring such  dividends,  to be paid on each of
