   3. Long-Term Debt
      During the first quarter of 1995, the corporation drew down the final
      $15 million against a $35 million loan facility with The Prudential
      Insurance Company of America.  The note has a thirteen year term and an
      interest rate of 8.21 percent.

      The corporation's long-term credit agreements contain certain
      conditions and provisions which restrict the corporation's payment of
      dividends.  Under the most restrictive of these provisions, retained
      earnings of $105.9 million were unrestricted as of March 31, 1995 for
      cash dividends and treasury stock purchases.

   
   PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
   ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 1995 COMPARED TO 1994

   Revenues for the first quarter of 1995 were $393 million surpassing last
   year's first quarter revenues by $53.2 million or 15.7 percent, and
   representing the best quarterly performance in the corporation's history. 
   Net earnings of $18.4 million or $.88 per share in the first quarter of
   1995 also exceeded those of any prior quarter and were $2.7 million higher
   than the $15.7 million or $.76 per share reported in the same period last
   year.

   With the exception of Water Products Company, the corporation's product
   operations reflected increased revenues in the first quarter of 1995
   compared to 1994's first quarter.  The most notable sales increases
   occurred in the OEM segment of the corporation with Automotive and
   Electrical Products reflecting increases of $39.1 million and $14.8
   million respectively, over the first quarter of 1994.  A by-product of the
   significant increase in volume was an improvement in the corporation's
   overall gross profit margin from 15.7 percent a year ago to 16.3 percent
   through the first quarter of 1995.

   The sales increase at the Automotive Products Company was particularly
   noteworthy since it occurred during a three-month period in which domestic
   sales of cars and trucks were lower than the same period last year. 
   Automotive's first quarter sales increased more than 21 percent over
   1994's first quarter and were influenced by new products introduced during
   1994 including the Ford Windstar, Contour/Mystique and redesigned
   Explorer, the Toyota Camry, and the Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon.

   During the first quarter, Toyota awarded Automotive Products a five-year
   contract to manufacture suspension links for the Camry models assembled at
   its Georgetown, Kentucky, plant with production scheduled for August 1996.

   Automotive's 1995 first quarter earnings were improved over the same
   period last year as a result of the increased volume.  The profit
   improvement was achieved despite incurring costs associated with product
   launches.

   The results of the Company's Mexican affiliate were affected by Mexico's
   economic difficulties and the decline in the value of the peso.  While
   operations generated a nominal profit this was offset by a translation
   loss resulting in a $ .2 million loss for the quarter and compares to a
   profit of $ .4 million for the first quarter of 1994.

   First quarter sales for the Electrical Products Company increased $14.8
   million or 21 percent from the first quarter of 1994.  Sustained high
   demand was evident in all of the major motor markets the company serves
   with particular strength in the HVAC, pump, air compressor and export
   markets resulting from incremental market share acquired during 1994.

   The motor manufacturing facilities operated at high levels of efficiency
   and continued to contribute to the improved performance of the company. 
   First quarter profits were significantly higher than the same period in
   1994 due to the increased volumes and high capacity utilization.

   The Water Products Company experienced a $3.9 million decline in first
   quarter sales, dropping from $68.0 million last year to $64.1 million in
   1995.  The lower volume was attributable to an announced price increase
   for residential water heaters effective January 1, 1995 which resulted in
   an expected shift in demand to the fourth quarter of 1994.  Commercial
   water heater volume increased over the first quarter of 1994 as the
   company continued to gain market share in this segment of the business. 
   First quarter earnings for Water Products were less than the same quarter
   last year and were consistent with the lower volume.

   Sales for Smith Fiberglass Products, when comparing the first quarter of
   1995 to the same period in 1994, increased $1.0 million or eight percent
   despite weather-related slowdowns in the service station market.  First
   quarter earnings for Fiberglass Products were less than those of the prior
   year's first quarter due to a higher concentration of sales in the lower
   margin export petroleum market.

   Revenues for A. O. Smith Harvestore Products, Inc. (AOSHPI) increased
   significantly in the first quarter of 1995 as they experienced strong
   demand for a recently introduced unloader product and the continuation of
   sales growth in the municipal/industrial and water and waste storage
   markets.  Revenues for AgriStor Credit Corporation approximated those of a
   year ago as this subsidiary continues to be liquidated.  The loss incurred
   in the quarter for the agricultural business was less than  1994's first
   quarter loss due to additional volume at AOSHPI and reduced operating
   expenses at AgriStor.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter were
   $3.4 million more than the same period of 1994 but remained relatively
   constant as a percentage of sales.  The increase was associated with
   higher employee incentives due to increased earnings in certain of the
   operating units, and general increases to support the higher sales volume. 
   Despite reduced debt levels, interest expense for the first quarter
   reflected a marginal increase over last year's first quarter due to higher
   interest rates.

   During the first three months of 1995, the corporation was a party to
   futures contracts for purposes of hedging a portion of certain raw
   material purchases.  The corporation was also a party to forward foreign
   exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency transactions consistent with
   its committed exposures.  Had these contracts not been in place, the net
   earnings of the corporation would not have been materially affected in the
   first quarter of 1995.

   The record sales and earnings recorded in the first quarter of 1995 not
   only provides a jump start toward achieving the short term objective of
   improving upon last years record performance, but also moves the
   corporation another step closer to accomplishing its longer term goal of
   providing an average 15 percent return on shareholder equity over the
   course of an economic cycle.  In view of the optimism for the prospects of
   another successful year, in April the Board of Directors increased the
   quarterly dividend by 15 percent, from $.13 to $.15 per share commencing
   with the dividend paid in May.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The corporation's working capital was $128.6 million at March 31, 1995
   compared to $113.6 million at December 31, 1994.  The majority of the
   increase can be attributed to sales related increases in trade receivables
   and inventories partially offset by a corresponding increase in trade
   payables.

   Cash flow provided by operations was $8.8 million higher than the same
   period last year due to increased net earnings and lower relative working
   capital requirements.  The corporation's long-term debt increased $6.1
   million in the first three months of 1995 to $142.9 million to finance
   capital and other expenditures.  The finance subsidiary's long-term debt
   decreased $4.2 million during the first quarter to $25.2 million,
   reflecting the continuing liquidation of the business.  

   Assuming no major acquisitions, the corporation anticipates that a
   combination of current earnings and continued moderate working capital
   requirements will reduce debt and its debt-to-equity ratio during the
   balance of 1995.  Capital acquisitions continue at higher levels due
   largely to new automotive product programs and are expected to exceed $90
   million in 1995.

   During the first quarter of 1995, the corporation drew down the final $15
   million against a $35 million loan facility with The Prudential Insurance
   Company of America.  The note has a thirteen year term and an interest
   rate of 8.21 percent.

   At its April 6, 1995 meeting, A. O. Smith's Board of Directors increased
   the regular quarterly dividend to $.15 per share on its common stock
   (Classes A and Common) from $.13 per share.  The dividend is payable on
   May 15, 1995 to shareholders of record as of April 28, 1995.

   
   PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
   ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


   At March 31, 1995, the corporation or A.O. Smith Harvestore Products, Inc.
   ("AOSHPI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the corporation, were defendants
   in approximately 15 lawsuits (two of which are class action lawsuits)
   filed by various plaintiffs who were alleging property damage claimed to
   have arisen out of alleged defects in AOSHPI's animal feed storage
   equipment.  In the first quarter of 1995, no new cases were filed against
   the corporation and AOSHPI and 8 cases were favorably resolved.  The
   United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio has set a
   trial date in the conditionally certified class action brought on behalf
   of purchasers and lessees of Harvestore structures manufactured by the
   corporation and AOSHPI.  Discovery in the case is ongoing and a trial of
   the liability issues only is scheduled to begin on October 16, 1995. 
   Damages would be tried at a later date and only after a liability finding. 
   Information on these lawsuits was previously reported in Part I, Item 3 of
   the corporation's 1994 annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
   ended December 31, 1994, which is incorporated herein by reference.

   On April 12, 1995 the Judge presiding over the previously reported on
   lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Milwaukee County, State of Wisconsin, in
   which the corporation and AOSHPI are plaintiffs, granted the plaintiffs'
   motions for summary judgment on three of the counts.  The corporation and
   AOSHPI are seeking to recover from the defendants, their insurance
   companies, damages for their failure to pay under various insurance
   policies issued to the corporation and AOSHPI.  The damages sought stem
   from individual lawsuits relating to the Harvestore animal feed storage
   equipment.  This decision is crucial to the favorable resolution of the
   other counts in the lawsuit.  While the likelihood of a recovery in the
   lawsuit is increased, the corporation is unable at this date to estimate
   the amount of that recovery.

   There have been no material changes in the environmental matters
   previously reported in Item 3 in the corporation's annual report on Form
   10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, which is incorporated
   herein by reference.


   ITEM 2 - CHANGES IN SECURITIES

   At the April 5, 1995 annual meeting, the stockholders approved an
   amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation which increased the
   number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from 7,000,000 to
   14,000,000 shares and the authorized shares of Common Stock from
   24,000,000 to 60,000,000 shares.  The additional shares are part of the
   existing classes and, if and when issued, will have the same rights and
   privileges as the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Common
   Stock have.  The issuance of any additional shares of Class A Common
   Stock, Common Stock or Preferred Stock may, depending on the circumstances
   in which such shares are issued, have the effect of diluting the equity of
   existing holders and the earnings per share of existing shares of common
   stock.

   Effective April 17, 1995 the trading symbol of the corporation's Common
   Stock on the New York Stock Exchange was changed from SMC to AOS.  The
   trading symbol for the Class A Common Stock (SMCA), which trades on the
   American Stock Exchange, was not changed.

   ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

   No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the first
   quarter of 1995.

   reorganize, merge or consolidate the same or cause the same to be
   dissolved, liquidated, wound up, reorganized, merged or consolidated.

        (F)  To the extent permitted by law, guarantee the payment of
   dividends on, or the payment or principal of or interest on, any stocks,
   bonds, notes, debentures, or other securities or obligations of any
   individual, corporation, company, association, trust, partnership or other
   organization in which the corporation has an interest or any of whose
   securities it owns; to the extent permitted by law, to become surety for

        (G)  To execute and deliver general or special powers of attorney to

   forth, and such other things as are incidental or conducive to the
   attainment of the objects and purposes of the corporation, as principal,
   factor, agent, contractor or otherwise, either alone or in conjunction
   with any person, firm, association or corporation, and in carrying on its
   business and for the purpose of attaining or furthering any of its objects
   to make and perform contracts, and to do such acts and things and to
   exercise any and all such powers to the same extent as a natural person
   might or could lawfully do to the extent allowed by law.

        (I)  To have one or more offices and to carry on its operations and
   transact its business within and without the State of Delaware, and,
   without restriction or limit as to amount, to purchase or otherwise
   acquire, hold, own, mortgage, sell, convey or otherwise dispose of real
   and personal property of every class and description in any of the states,
   districts, territories or dependencies of the United States, and in any
   and all foreign countries, subject always to the laws of such state,
   district, territory, dependency or foreign country.

        The foregoing clauses shall each be construed as both purposes and
   powers, and the matters expressed in each clause shall, except as
   otherwise expressly provided, be in no wise limited by reference to or
   inference from the terms of any other clause, but shall be regarded as
   independent purposes and powers, and the enumeration of specific purposes
   and powers shall not be construed to limit or restrict in any manner the
   meaning of general terms or the general powers of the corporation; nor
   shall the expression of one thing be deemed to exclude another, although
   it be of like nature, not expressed.


                                    ARTICLE 4

        The aggregate number of shares which the corporation has the
   authority to issue shall be seventy-seven million (77,000,000) shares,
   consisting of:

        (a)  fourteen million (14,000,000) shares designated as "Class A
   Common Stock," with a par value of Five Dollars ($5) per share;

        (b)  sixty million (60,000,000) shares designated as "Common Stock,"
   with a par value of One Dollar ($1) per share; and

        (c)  three million (3,000,000) shares designated as "Preferred
   Stock," with a par  value of One Dollar ($1) per share.

        Any and all such shares of Class A Common Stock, Common Stock and
   Preferred Stock may be issued for such consideration, not less than the
   par value thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the board of
   directors. Upon any distribution of authorized but unissued shares to
   stockholders, the part of the surplus of the corporation (not less than
   the par value of such shares) which is concurrently transferred to stated
   capital shall be deemed the consideration for the issue of such shares.
   Any and all such shares so issued, the full consideration for which has
   been paid, delivered or so transferred, shall be deemed fully paid stock
   and shall not be liable to any further call or assessment thereon, and the
   holders of such shares shall not be liable for any further payments except
   as otherwise provided by applicable law of the State of Delaware or any
   other state in which the corporation holds a certificate of authority to
   do business. The relative rights, preferences and limitations of each
   class shall be as follows:

   (A)  Class A Common Stock and Common Stock

        Except as provided in this Article 4, the Class A Common Stock and
   the Common stock shall have the same rights and privileges and shall rank
   equally, share ratably and be identical in all respects as to all matters.

        (1)  Dividends; Combinations; and Subdivisions.

             (a)  The holders of the Class A Common Stock and Common Stock
                  shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the
                  board of directors, such dividends including share
                  distributions (as defined in paragraph (A)(1)(b)) as may be
                  declared from time to time by the board of directors
                  subject to any limitations applicable by law of the State
                  of Delaware, to the rights of the holders of the Preferred
                  Stock, and to the following limitation. Whenever a dividend
                  which is not a share distribution is paid to the holders of
                  Class A Common Stock, the corporation shall also pay to the
                  holders of Common Stock a dividend per share at least equal
                  to the dividend per share paid to the holders of the Class
                  A Common Stock. The corporation may pay dividends which are
                  not share distributions to holders of Common Stock in
                  excess of dividends paid, or without paying dividends, to
                  holders of Class A Common Stock.

             (b)  If at any time a distribution is to be paid in Class A
                  Common Stock or Common Stock (a "share distribution"), such
                  share distribution may be declared and distributed only as
                  follows:

                  (i)  Shares of one class of either the Class A Common Stock
                       or the Common Stock (the "first class") may be
                       distributed on shares of that class, provided that
                       there is declared and paid a simultaneous distribution
                       of shares of the other class of stock (the "second
                       class") to the holders of the second class which
                       simultaneous distribution shall consist of a number of
                       shares of the second class equal on a per share basis
                       to the number of shares of the first class which are
                       distributed to holders of the first class.

                  (ii) Subject to any limitations of the laws of the State of
                       Delaware, shares of the first class may be distributed
                       on shares of the second class, provided that there is
                       declared and paid a simultaneous distribution of
                       shares of the first class to holders of shares of the
                       first class which simultaneous distribution shall
                       consist of a number of shares of the first class equal
                       on a per share basis to the number of shares of the
                       first class which are distributed to holders of the
                       second class.

             (c)  The corporation shall not combine or subdivide shares of
                  the first class without making a simultaneous combination
                  or subdivision of shares of the second class which is equal
                  on a per share basis to the combination or subdivision of
                  the shares of the first class.

   (2)  Voting.

        Voting power shall be divided between the Class A Common Stock and
   the Common Stock as follows:

        (a)  With respect to the election of directors, holders of the Common
             Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect
             that number of directors which constitutes 25% of the authorized
             number of members of the board of directors and, if such 25% is
             not a whole number, then the holders of the Common Stock shall
             be entitled to elect to the nearest higher whole number of
             directors that is at least 25% of such membership. Holders of
             Class A Common Stock, voting as a separate class but subject to
             any voting rights which may be granted to holders of Preferred
             Stock, shall be entitled to elect the remaining directors.

        (b)  The holders of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to vote as
             a separate class but subject to any voting rights which may be
             granted to holders of Preferred Stock, on the removal with or
             without cause, of any director elected by the holders of Class A
             Common Stock, and the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled
             to vote as a separate class on the removal, with or without
             cause, of any director elected by the holders of Common Stock.

        (c)  In the discretion of the board of directors, (i) any vacancy in
             the office of a director elected by the holders of the Class A
             Common Stock may be filled by a vote of such holders, voting as
             a separate class but subject to any voting rights which may be
             granted to holders of Preferred Stock, and any vacancy in the
             office of a director elected by the holders of the Common Stock
             may be filled by a vote of such holders, voting as a separate
             class, or (ii) in the case of a vacancy in the office of a
             director elected by either class, such vacancy may be filled by
             the remaining directors. Any director elected by the board of
             directors to fill a vacancy shall serve until the next Annual
             Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor has been elected
             and has qualified. If permitted by the By-Laws, the board of
             directors may (i) increase the number of directors and any
             vacancy so created may be filled by the board of directors, or
             (ii) decrease the number of directors; provided that, so long as
             the holders of Common Stock had the rights provided in paragraph
             (A)(2)(a) of this Article 4 in respect of the last Annual
             Meeting of Stockholders, the board of directors may be so
             enlarged (or so decreased) only to the extent that at least 25%
             of the enlarged (or decreased) board consists of directors
             elected by the holders of the Common Stock or by directors
             appointed to fill vacancies created by the death, resignation or
             removal of directors elected by the holders of the Common Stock.

        (d)  The Common Stock will not have the right to elect directors set
             forth in paragraphs (A)(2)(a) and (A)(2)(c) of this Article 4,
             if, on the record date of any stockholder meeting at which
             directors are to be elected, the number of issued and
             outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than 10% of the
             aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A
             Common Stock and Common Stock.  In such case, all directors to
             be elected at such meeting shall be elected by holders of Class
             A Common Stock and Common Stock, voting together as a single
             class but subject to any voting rights which may be granted to
             holders of Preferred Stock, provided that with respect to said
             election, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall have one
             vote per share and holders of Common Stock shall have one-tenth
             vote per share. The Class A Common Stock will not have the right
             to elect directors set forth in paragraphs (A)(2)(a) and
             (A)(2)(c) of this Article 4, if, on the record date for any
             stockholder meeting at which directors are to be elected, the
             number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock
             is less than 12.5% of the aggregate number of issued and
             outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Common Stock. In
             such case, holders of Common Stock, voting as a separate class,
             shall have the right to elect 25% of the members of the board of
             directors as provided in paragraph (A)(2)(a) of this Article 4,
             and holders of Class A Common Stock and Common Stock voting
             together as a separate class but subject to any voting rights
             which may be granted to holders of Preferred Stock, shall be
             entitled to elect the remaining directors, provided that with
             respect to said election, the holders of Class A Common Stock
             shall have one vote per share and the holders of Common Stock
             shall have one-tenth vote per share.

        (e)  Subject to the provisions of section (D) of this Article 4, the
             holders of Class A Common Stock and Common Stock shall in all
             matters not specified in paragraphs (A)(2)(a), (b), (c) and (d)
             of this Article 4 vote together as a single class but subject to
             any voting rights which may be granted to holders of Preferred
             Stock, provided that the holders of Class A Common Stock shall
             have one vote per share and the holders of Common Stock shall
             have one-tenth vote per share.

        (f)  Notwithstanding anything in this subsection (A)(2) or in section
             (D) of this Article 4 to the contrary but subject to any voting
             rights which may be granted to holders of Preferred Stock, the
             holders of Class A Common Stock shall have exclusive voting
             power on all matters, at any time when no Common Stock is issued
             and outstanding, and the holders of Common Stock shall have
             exclusive voting power on all matters at any time when no Class
             A Common Stock is issued and outstanding.

   (3)  Conversion.

        (a)  The holder of any shares of Class A Common Stock at his option
             will be entitled at any time to convert each share of Class A
             Common Stock into one share of Common Stock.  Such right shall
             be exercised by the surrender of the shares of Class A Common
             Stock so to be converted to the corporation at any time during
             normal business hours at the office or agency then maintained by
             it for payment of dividends on the shares of the Class A Common
             Stock and the Common Stock (the "Payment Office"), accompanied
             by written notice of such holder's election to convert and (if
             so required by the corporation or any conversion agent) by
             instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the corporation
             and to any conversion agent, duly executed by the registered
             holder or by his duly authorized attorney.

        (b)  As promptly as practicable after the surrender for conversion of
             any shares of Class A Common Stock in the manner provided in
             paragraph A(3)(a) of this Article 4, the corporation will
             deliver or cause to be delivered at the Payment Office to or
             upon the written order of the holder of such shares,
             certificates representing the number of full shares of Common
             Stock issuable upon such conversion, issued in such name or
             names as such holder may direct. Such conversion shall be deemed
             to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on
             the date of such surrender of the shares of Class A Common
             Stock, and all rights of the holder of such shares as a holder
             of such shares shall cease at such time and the person or
             persons in whose name or names the certificates for shares of
             Common Stock are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes
             as having become the record holder or holders thereof at such
             time; provided, however, that any such surrender on any date
             when the stock transfer books of the corporation shall be closed
             shall constitute the person or persons in whose name or names
             the certificates for such shares of Common Stock are to be
             issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes
             immediately prior to the close of business on the next
             succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are opened.

        (c)  No adjustments in respect of dividends shall be made upon the
             conversion of any shares of the Class A Common Stock; provided,
             however, that if shares of Class A Common Stock shall be
             converted subsequent to the record date preceding a dividend
             payment on the Class A Common Stock but prior to the payment
             date for such dividend, the registered holder of such shares of
             Class A Common Stock at the close of business on such record
             date nonetheless shall be entitled to receive the dividend paid
             on such shares, if any, on such payment date notwithstanding the
             conversion thereof.

        (d)  The corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and
             keep available, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion
             of the shares of Class A Common Stock, such number of shares of
             Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all
             such outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, provided, that
             nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the
             corporation from satisfying its obligations in respect of the
             conversion of the shares of Class A Common Stock by delivery of
             shares of Common Stock which are held in the treasury of the
             corporation.

             The corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock which
             shall be issued upon conversion of the shares of the Class A
             Common Stock will upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable
             and not subject to any preemptive rights, except as otherwise
             required by applicable law.

   (B) Preferred Stock

        (1)  Series of Preferred Stock

                  The board of directors shall have authority, by resolution
             or resolutions, to divide the Preferred Stock into series, to
             establish and designate each such series and the number of
             shares thereof (which number, by like action of the board of
             directors from time to time thereafter, may be increased except
             when otherwise provided by the board of directors in creating
             such series, or may be decreased but not below the number of
             shares thereof then outstanding), and to determine and fix the
             rights, preferences and limitations in respect of the shares of
             each series established prior to the issuance thereof, and the
             relative variations therein as between series, to the fullest
             extent now or hereafter permitted by applicable law of the State
             of Delaware, and (without limiting the generality of the
             foregoing) particularly with respect to:

             (a)  The rate of dividend and the initial original issue date or
                  other date from which such dividends shall be cumulative;

             (b)  The price or prices, at the period or periods within, and
                  the terms and conditions on which shares may or shall be
                  redeemed;

             (c)  The amounts payable upon shares in the event of voluntary
                  liquidation or involuntary liquidation;

             (d)  The terms of the sinking fund provisions or redemption or
                  purchase account, if any, for the redemption or purchase of
                  shares;

             (e)  The terms and conditions on which shares may be converted
                  into shares of Class A Common Stock or Common Stock, if the
                  shares of any series are issued with the privilege of
                  conversion; and

             (f)  Whether or not shares shall have voting powers, and the
                  terms and conditions upon which any voting powers may be
                  exercised; provided that, so long as any Common Stock is
                  outstanding, no Preferred Stock with voting powers shall
                  have more than one vote per share nor shall any such
                  Preferred Stock be entitled to vote with the Common Stock
                  in the election of 25% of the members of the board of
                  directors pursuant to paragraph (A)(2)(a) of this Article
                  4, on the removal of directors elected by holders of Common
                  Stock pursuant to paragraph (A)(2)(b) of this Article 4, or
                  in the filling of vacancies in the office of a director
                  elected by holders of Common Stock pursuant to paragraph
                  (A)(2)(d) of this Article 4.

        Except as to the matters in respect to which variations are permitted
   under this subsection (B)(1), all series of the Preferred Stock of the
   corporation, whenever designated and issued, shall have the same rights,
   preferences and limitations and shall rank equally, share ratably and be
   identical in all respects as to all matters.

        All shares of any one series of Preferred Stock established as
   hereinabove authorized shall be alike in every particular, and each series
   thereof shall be distinctively designated by letter or descriptive words
   or figures.

        Any shares of Preferred Stock reacquired by the corporation by
   purchase or redemption, through conversion, or through the operation of
   any sinking fund or redemption or purchase account and which are
   thereafter cancelled shall have the status of authorized but unissued
   shares of Preferred Stock of the corporation, and, subject to the
   provisions of any series of the Preferred Stock, may thereafter be
   reissued as part of the same series or may be reclassified and reissued by
   the board of directors in the same manner as any other authorized but
   unissued shares of Preferred Stock

        (2)  Dividends.

                  Before any dividends, other than stock dividends, shall be
             paid or set apart for payment upon either the Class A Common
             Stock or the Common Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock shall
             be entitled to receive dividends at the rate per annum specified
             as to each series pursuant to paragraph (B)(1)(a), payable
             quarter-annually when and as declared by the board of directors.

                  Except as otherwise provided with respect to a particular
             series pursuant to paragraph (B)(1)(a), dividends shall accrue,
             in the case of shares of each particular series:

             (i)  if issued prior to the record date for the first dividend
             on shares of such series, then from the date of initial original
             issue of shares of such series;

             (ii) if issued during the period commencing immediately after
             the record date for a dividend on shares of such series and
             terminating at the close of the payment date for such dividend,
             then from such last mentioned dividend payment date; and

             (iii)     otherwise from the quarterly dividend payment date
             next preceding the date of original issue of such shares;

             provided, that if the date of initial original issue of shares
             of any series shall be within thirty (30) days prior to the date
             when the first quarter-annual dividend would otherwise be
             payable, the board of directors may provide that such first
             dividend shall be payable only at the time of payment of the
             dividend for the next quarter-annual period, in which case no
             deficiency in payment of such first dividend shall exist by
             reason of such deferral.

        All dividends of Preferred Stock shall be cumulative so that if the
   corporation shall not pay the quarterly dividend, or any part thereof, on
   the Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding, such deficiency in the
   dividend on the Preferred Stock shall thereafter be fully paid, but
   without interest, before any cash dividend shall be paid or set apart for
   payment on either the Class A Common Stock or the Common Stock.

        Any dividend paid upon the Preferred Stock at a time when any accrued
   dividends for any prior period are delinquent shall be expressly declared
   as a dividend in whole or partial payment of the accrued dividend for the
   earliest period for which dividends are then delinquent, and shall be so
   designated to each shareholder to whom payment is made.

        All shares of Preferred Stock shall rank equally and shall share
   ratably, in proportion to the rate of dividend fixed pursuant to paragraph
   (B)(1)(a) in respect to each such share, in all dividends paid or set
   aside for payment for any dividend period or part thereof upon any such
   shares.

        (3)  Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

                  In case of voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
             dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the holders of
             shares of each series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
             receive out of the assets of the corporation in money or money's
             worth the applicable amount specified pursuant to paragraph
             (B)(1)(c) with respect to that series of Preferred Stock,
             together with all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (whether
             or not earned or declared), before any of such assets shall be
             paid or distributed to holders of Class A Common Stock or Common
             Stock, and if the assets of the corporation shall be
             insufficient to pay the holders of all of the Preferred Stock
             then outstanding the entire amounts to which they may be
             entitled, the holders of each outstanding series of the
             Preferred Stock shall share ratably in such assets in proportion
             to the amounts which would be payable with respect to such
             series if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. The
             consolidating or merger of the corporation with or into any
             other corporation or corporations, or the merger of any other
             corporation or corporations into the corporation, in pursuance
             of the laws of the State of Delaware and of any other applicable
             state providing for consolidation or merger, shall not be deemed
             a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the
             corporation within the meaning of the foregoing provisions of
             this subsection (B)(3), unless otherwise provided pursuant to
             paragraph (B)(1)(c).

   (C) Preemptive Rights.

        No holder of Preferred, Class A Common Stock or Common Stock shall be
   entitled, as of right because of his ownership of such stock, to subscribe
   for, purchase or receive any part of any new or additional issue of stock,
   whether Preferred Stock, Class A Common Stock or Common Stock, or of
   bonds, debentures or other securities convertible into stock, or any part
   of any reacquired shares or convertible securities held in treasury, but
   all such shares of stock or bonds, debentures or other securities
   convertible into stock may be issued and disposed of by the board of
   directors to such person or persons and on such terms and for such
   consideration (so far as may be permitted by law) as the board of
   directors in its absolute discretion may deem advisable. The provisions of
   this section (C) shall not impair any conversion right of any such
   convertible securities or any other right authorized by the board of
   directors to purchase or exchange, or to receive any distribution of, any
   securities of the corporation.

   (D) Special Voting Rights of Stockholders

        (1)  Subject to the voting rights of holders of Preferred Stock as
             may be established pursuant to subsection (B)(1) of this Article
             4, the holders of Class A Common Stock and the holders of Common
             Stock shall be entitled to vote, and to vote as separate
             classes, upon the authorization of any amendment to this
             Certificate of Incorporation, and, in addition to the
             authorization of any such amendment by vote of a majority of the
             total number of votes represented by all outstanding shares
             entitled to vote thereon, the amendment shall be authorized by
             vote of a majority of the total number of votes represented by
             all outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock and/or the
             Common Stock if such amendment contains any provision which
             would:

             (a)  exclude or limit their right to vote on any matter, except
                  as such right may be limited by voting rights given to new
                  shares then being authorized of any existing or new class
                  or series,

             (b)  reduce the par value of their shares; or change their
                  shares into a different number of shares of the same class
                  or into the same or a different number of shares of any one
                  or more classes or any series thereof, either with or
                  without par value; or fix, change or abolish the
                  designation or any of the relative rights, preferences and
                  limitations of their shares, including any provision in
                  respect to any undeclared dividends, whether or not
                  cumulative or accrued, or the redemption of any shares, or
                  any sinking fund for the redemption or purchase of their
                  shares, or any preemptive right to acquire shares or other
                  securities; or alter the terms or conditions upon which
                  their shares are convertible or change the shares issuable
                  upon conversion of their shares; if any such action would
                  adversely affect such holders, or

             (c)  subordinate their rights, by authorizing shares having
                  preferences which would be in any respect superior to those
                  rights.

        (2)  Any plan of merger or consolidation shall be adopted at a
             meeting of stockholders by a vote of two-thirds of the total
             number of votes represented by the outstanding shares entitled
             to vote thereon. The holders of shares of a class or series
             shall be entitled to vote and to vote as a class if the plan of
             merger or consolidation contains any provision which, if
             contained in an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation,
             would entitle the holders of shares of such class or series to
             vote and vote as a class thereon pursuant to subsection (D)(1)
             of this Article 4. In such case, in addition to the
             authorization of the plan of merger or consolidation by vote of
             two-thirds of the total number of votes represented by all
             outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, the plan of merger
             or consolidation shall be authorized by vote of the majority of
             the total number of votes represented by all outstanding shares
             entitled to vote thereon. Any plan of merger or consolidation of
             any subsidiary corporation or corporations, whether domestic or
             foreign, with and into the corporation shall not be subject to
             the provisions of this subsection (D)(2) if the corporation owns
             at least ninety percent of the outstanding shares of each class
             of capital stock of such subsidiary corporation or corporations.

                  For the purposes of this subsection (D)(2), the financial
             or other effect of any merger or consolidation on the
             corporation shall not be deemed to affect adversely the powers,
             preferences or rights of any class or series of stock.

        (3)  Any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or
             substantially all the assets of the corporation, if not made in
             the usual or regular course of the business actually conducted
             by the corporation shall be authorized by vote at a meeting of
             stockholders of two-thirds of the total number of votes
             represented by all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon.

        (4)  Any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the
             corporation which adds a provision specifying that any
             stockholders, or the holders of any specified number or
             proportion of shares, or of any specified number or proportion
             of shares of any class or series thereof, may require the
             dissolution of the corporation at will or upon the occurrence of
             a specified event, or which changes or strikes out such a
             provision, shall be authorized at a meeting of stockholders by a
             vote of a majority of the total votes represented by all
             outstanding shares, whether or not otherwise entitled to vote on
             any such amendment.

        (5)  Any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the
             corporation which changes or strikes out any provision
             specifying that the proportion of shares, or the proportion of
             shares of any class or series thereof, the holders of which
             shall be present in person or by proxy at any meeting of
             stockholders in order to constitute a quorum for transaction of
             any business or of any specified item of business, including
             amendments to this Certificate of Incorporation shall be greater
             than the proportion prescribed by law in the absence of such
             provision, or any provision specifying that the proportion of
             votes of the holders of shares, or of the holders of shares of
             any class or series thereof, that shall be necessary at any
             meeting of stockholders for the transaction of any business or
             of any specified item of business, including amendments to this
             Restated Certificate of Incorporation, shall be greater than
             such proportion prescribed by law in the absence of such
             provision, shall be authorized at a meeting of stockholders by
             vote of two-thirds of the total number of votes represented by
             all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon.
