5.          Replacement of Voting Trust Certificates.  If a Voting Trust Certificate shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Voting Trustee may issue or cause to be issued in exchange a new Voting Trust Certificate representing the same number and kind of shares, for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Voting Trust Certificate, or, in lieu of the Voting

Trust Certificate so destroyed, lost or stolen, upon (a) production of evidence of the loss, destruction or theft satisfactory to the Voting Trustee, (b) receipt of indemnity satisfactory to the Voting Trustee and (c) compliance with such other reasonable regulations as the Voting Trustee may prescribe.
