Corporation to the public at no charge. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the
Board of Directors of the Corporation elects to seek and obtains an
exemption for the Corporation from federal taxation pursuant to Section
501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "IRC"), and until such
time, if ever, that such exemption is denied or lost, the Corporation shall
not be empowered to engage directly or indirectly in any activity which the
