         a.       Subject to the discretion  and  satisfaction  of  registrant's
                  board of directors with registrant's financial condition,  the

                  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
                  June  1  and  December  1  to  the   shareholders  of  record,
                  respectively, at the close of business on April 30 and October
