                 Article 4ter

 Authorized Share Capital  

             1   The Board of Directors shall be authorized to increase the
                 share capital in an amount not to exceed CHF 500,000,000
                 through the issuance of up to 200,000,000 fully paid registered
                 shares with a par value of CHF 2.50 per share by not later than
                 May 3, 2009. Increases in partial amounts shall be permitted.

             2   The subscription and acquisition of the new shares, as well as
                 each subsequent transfer of the shares, shall be subject to the
                 restrictions of art. 5 of these Articles of Incorporation.

             3   The Board of Directors shall determine the date of issue of new
                 shares, the issue price, the type of payment, the conditions
                 for the exercise of pre-emptive rights, and the beginning date
                 for dividend entitlement. In this regard, the Board of
                 Directors may issue new shares by means of a firm underwriting
                 through a banking institution, a syndicate or another third
                 party with a subsequent offer of these shares to the
                 shareholders. The Board of Directors may permit pre-emptive
                 rights that have not been exercised to expire or it may place
                 these rights and/or shares as to which pre-emptive rights have
                 been granted but not exercised, at market conditions or use
                 them for other purposes in the interest of the Company.

             4   The Board of Directors is further authorized to restrict or
                 deny the pre-emptive rights of shareholders and allocate such
                 rights to third parties if the shares are to be used:
                 a) for the acquisition of an enterprise, parts of an
                 enterprise, or participations, or for new investments, or, in
                 case of a share placement, for the financing or refinancing of
                 such transactions; or
                 b) for the purpose of broadening the shareholder constituency
                 in connection with a listing of shares on domestic or foreign
                 stock exchanges.
