ITEM 6:  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The registrant's Certificate of Incorporation generally provides For the maximum
indemnification of a corporation's officers and directors As permitted by law in
the State of  Colorado.  Colorado law empowers a  corporation  to indemnify  any
person  who was or is a party  or who is  threatened  to be made a party  to any
threatened,  pending,  or completed action,  suit or proceeding,  whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, except in the case of an action by or
in the right of the corporation,  by reason of the fact that he or she is or was
a director,  officer,  employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
another  corporation  or other  enterprise.  Depending  on the  character of the
proceeding,  a corporation may indemnify against expenses (including  attorney's
fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred  in  connection  with such  action,  suit or  proceeding  if the person
indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,  and with respect
to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful.

A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened,  pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact  that he or she is or was a  director,  officer,  employee  or agent of the
corporation,  or is or was  serving  at the  request  of  the  corporation  as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise,
against  expenses,  including  amounts paid in settlement  and  attorney's  fees
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or
settlement  of the  action  or suit if he or she  acted in good  faith  and in a
manner which he or she  reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests  of the  corporation.  Indemnification  may not be made for any  claim
issue or  matter  as to  which  such a person  has been  adjudged  by a court of
competent jurisdiction,  after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable
to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the  corporation  unless
and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or
other court of competent  jurisdiction  determines upon application that in view
of all the  circumstances  of the case,  the  person is  fairly  and  reasonably
entitled to indemnity for which expenses as the court deems proper.




                                       3
<PAGE>


To the extent that a director,  officer,  employee or agent of a corporation has
been  successful  on the merits or otherwise  in defense of any action,  suit or
proceeding  referred  to above,  or in  defense  of any  claim,  issue or matter
therein,  he or she must be indemnified  by the  corporation  against  expenses,
including  attorney's  fees,  actually and reasonably  incurred by him or her in
connection  with the defense.  Any  indemnification  under this section,  unless
ordered by a court or  advanced  pursuant to this  section,  must be made by the
corporation  only as authorized in the specific case upon a  determination  that
indemnification  of the  director,  officer,  employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances.  The determination must be made: (a) by the stockholders;  (b) by
the board of directors by majority vote or a quorum  consisting of directors who
were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;  (c) if a majority vote of a
quorum  consisting  of  directors  who were not parties to the  action,  suit or
proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;  or (d)
if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action,  suit or
proceeding  cannot  be  obtained,  by  independent  legal  counsel  in a written
opinion.

The Restated  Certificate of  Incorporation,  the bylaws or an agreement made by
the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred
in defending a civil or criminal action,  suit or proceeding must be paid by the
corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final  disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director  or  officer to repay the amount if it is  ultimately  determined  by a
court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified
by the  corporation.  The provisions of this section do not affect any rights to
advancement  of expenses to which  corporate  personnel  other than directors or
officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

The  indemnification  and advancement of expenses  authorized in or ordered by a
court pursuant to this section: (a) does not exclude any other rights to which a
person seeking  indemnification or advancement or expenses may be entitled under
the articles of incorporation or any bylaw,  agreement,  vote of stockholders or
disinterested  directors  or  otherwise,  for  either  an  action  in his or her
official  capacity  or an action in another  capacity  while  holding his or her
office, except that indemnification,  unless ordered by a court pursuant to this
section  or  for  the  advancement  of  any  director  or  officer  if  a  final
adjudication  establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional
misconduct,  fraud or a knowing  violation  of the law and was  material  to the
cause of action; and (b) continues for a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.

ITEM 7:  Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Not Applicable


ITEM 8:  Exhibits.

The  exhibits to this  registration  statement  are listed in the Exhibit  Index
elsewhere herein.


ITEM 9:  Undertakings.

(a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file,  during any period in which  offers or sales are being made, a
         post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i)  To include any  prospectus  required  by Section  10(a)(3) of the
               Securities Act;

          (ii) To reflect in the  prospectus  any facts or events  arising after
               the  effective  date of the  registration  statement (or the most
               recent post-effective  amendment thereof) which,  individually or
               in  the  aggregate,   represent  a  fundamental   change  in  the
               information set forth in the registration statement;

          (iii)To include any material  information  with respect to the plan of
               distribution   not  previously   disclosed  in  the  registration
               statement  or any  material  change  to such  information  in the
               registration statement;

          PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do
          not apply if the  registration  statement is on Form S-3,  Form S-8 or
          Form  F-3,  and  the   information   required  to  be  included  in  a
          post-effective  amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
          reports filed with or furnished to the  Commission  by the  registrant
          pursuant to section 13 or section  15(d) of the  Exchange Act that are
          incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

     (2)  That,  for  the  purpose  of  determining   any  liability  under  the
          Securities Act, each such post-effective  amendment shall be deemed to
          be a new  registration  statement  relating to the securities  offered
          therein,  and the  offering of such  securities  at that time shall be
          deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
          of  the  securities  being  registered  which  remain  unsold  at  the
          termination of the offering.



                                       5
<PAGE>



(b)  The  undersigned   Registrant  hereby  undertakes  that,  for  purposes  of
     determining  any  liability  under the  Securities  Act, each filing of the
     Registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of
     the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
     plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
     incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to
     be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
     and the offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
     initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
     may be permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
     Registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  the Registrant has been
     advised  that in the  opinion of the  Commission  such  indemnification  is
     against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
     unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification  against such
     liabilities  (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
     or paid by a  director,  officer or  controlling  person in the  successful
     defense of any action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted by such director,
     officer or  controlling  person in  connection  with the  securities  being
     registered,  the Registrant will,  unless in the opinion of its counsel the
     matter has been  settled  by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of
     appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
     against  public  policy  as  expressed  in the  Securities  Act and will be
     governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

EXHIBIT 4(i)
------------

           EXCERPTS FROM RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
           ---------------------------------------------------


Article 4, as restated, reads as follows:

4. Capital  Stock.  The  aggregate  number of shares of capital  stock which the
Corporation  shall have authority to allot is one hundred million  (100,000,000)
shares  of One  Dollar  ($.001)  par  value  common  stock  and  twenty  million
(20,000,000)  of  preferred  which  shall be no par  value  stock.  The Board of
Directors may, from time to time, fix a consideration  for which said shares may
be issued and sold,  which  consideration  shall not be less than .001 cents per
share.

Article 6, as restated, reads as follows:

6. Bylaws. The Directors of the Corporation shall have the power to adopt, alter
or replace Bylaws for governing the Corporation, the conduct of its affairs, the
management of its  property,  the transfer of shares and the rights or posers of
the  Shareholders,  Directors,  Officers and employees of the Corporation.  Such
power shall be exercised by two-thirds  (2/3)  majority vote of the Directors at
any  regular  or special  meeting  duly  convened  after  proper  notice to such
Directors has been given.  Provided,  however,  nothing  herein shall divest the
Shareholders of the power, nor limit their poser to adopt,  amend or repeal such
Bylaws.

(ii) Excerpts from the By-Laws. Paragraphs 2-11 of the By-Laws read as follows:

2. Date and Time of Shareholders Annual Meeting. The annual shareholders meeting
will be held on the 24th of March of every year at 9:00 a.m., or no more than 83
days after the fiscal  year end.  This  meeting is for the  purpose of  electing
directors and for  transacting any other  necessary  business.  If this day is a
legal holiday, the meeting will be held on the next day.

3. Shareholders  Special  Meetings.  Special meetings of the shareholders may be
called at any time and for any purpose.  These  meetings may be called by either
the  president  or the board of  directors  or upon request of 51 percent of the
shareholders of the corporation.  The request for a special meeting must be made
in writing which states the time, place and purpose of the meeting.  The request
should be given to the  secretary of the  corporation  who will prepare and send
written  notice to all  shareholders  of record who are  entitled to vote at the
meeting.

4.  Place of  Shareholders  Meetings.  The board of  directors  has the power to
designate the place for shareholders meetings,  unless a waiver of notice of the
meeting signed by all shareholders  designates the place for the meeting.  If no
place  is  designated,   either  by  the  board  of  directors  or  all  of  the
shareholders, then the place for the meeting will be the principal office of the
corporation.

5. Notice of Shareholders Meetings. Written notice of shareholders meetings must
be sent to each  shareholder  of record  entitled  to vote at the  meeting.  The
notice must be sent no less than 8 days nor more than 10 days before the date of
the meeting. The notice should be sent to the shareholder's  address as shown in
the corporate Stock Transfer Book. The notice will include the place,  date, and
time of the meeting.  Notices for special meetings must also include the purpose
of the meeting.  When notices are sent,  the secretary of the  corporation  must
prepare an  Affidavit  of Mailing of Notices.  Shareholders  may waive notice of
meetings if done in writing, except that attendance at a meeting is considered a
waiver of notice of the meeting.



                                       9
<PAGE>



6. Shareholders Entitled to Notice, to Vote, or to Dividends. For the purpose of
determining which  shareholders are entitled to notice, to vote at meetings,  or
to receive dividends,  the board of directors may order that the corporate Stock
Transfer  Books be closed for 30 days prior to a meeting  or the  issuance  of a
dividend.  The  shareholders  entitled to receive notice,  vote at meetings,  or
receive dividends are those who are recorded in the Stock Transfer Book upon the
closing of the Book.  Instead of closing the Books,  the board of directors  may
also set a Record Date. The shareholders  recorded in the Stock Transfer Book at
the close of business  on the Record  Date will be  entitled to receive  notice,
vote at  meetings,  or receive  dividends.  A list of  shareholders  entitled to
receive notice,  vote at meetings,  or receive dividends will be prepared by the
secretary when necessary and provided to the officers of the corporation.  Every
shareholder  who is entitled to receive  notice,  vote, or receive  dividends is
also entitled to examine this list and the corporate stock transfer book.

7. Shareholders  Quorum. A quorum for shareholders meeting will be a majority of
the  outstanding  shares which are  entitled to vote at the meeting,  whether in
person or  represented  by  proxy.  Once a quorum is  present,  business  may be
conducted at the meeting, even if shareholders leave prior to adjournment.

8. Shareholders Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote
by signed proxy or by power of attorney. To be valid, a proxy must be filed with
the  secretary of the  corporation  prior to the stated time of the meeting.  No
proxy may be valid for over 12  months,  unless  the proxy  specifically  states
otherwise.  Proxies may always be revocable prior to the meeting for which it is
intended. Attendance at the meeting for which a proxy has been authorized always
revokes the proxy.

9.  Shareholders  Voting.  Each  outstanding  share of the corporation  which is
entitled  to vote as shown on the Stock  Transfer  Book will have one vote.  The
vote of the  holders  of a  majority  of the  shares  entitled  to vote  will be
sufficient  to decide any  matter,  unless a greater  number is  required by the
Articles of Incorporation or by state law. Adjournment shall be by majority vote
of those shares entitled to vote.

10.  Shareholder  Consent  Resolutions.  Any  action  which  may be  taken  at a
shareholders  meeting may be taken instead  without a meeting if a resolution is
consented to, in writing,  by all  shareholders who would be entitled to vote on
the matter.

11.  Shareholders  Cumulative  Voting.  For  the  election  of  directors,  each
shareholder may vote in a Cumulative manner, if desired.  Cumulative voting will
mean that if each  shareholder  has one vote per  director  to be  elected,  the
shareholder  may vote all votes for a single  director or spread the votes among
directors in any manner.

ITEM 5:  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not Applicable

ITEM 6:  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The registrant's Certificate of Incorporation generally provides For the maximum
indemnification of a corporation's officers and directors As permitted by law in
the State of  Colorado.  Colorado law empowers a  corporation  to indemnify  any
person  who was or is a party  or who is  threatened  to be made a party  to any
threatened,  pending,  or completed action,  suit or proceeding,  whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, except in the case of an action by or
in the right of the corporation,  by reason of the fact that he or she is or was
a director,  officer,  employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
another  corporation  or other  enterprise.  Depending  on the  character of the
proceeding,  a corporation may indemnify against expenses (including  attorney's
fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred  in  connection  with such  action,  suit or  proceeding  if the person
indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,  and with respect
to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful.

A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened,  pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact  that he or she is or was a  director,  officer,  employee  or agent of the
corporation,  or is or was  serving  at the  request  of  the  corporation  as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise,
against  expenses,  including  amounts paid in settlement  and  attorney's  fees
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or
settlement  of the  action  or suit if he or she  acted in good  faith  and in a
manner which he or she  reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests  of the  corporation.  Indemnification  may not be made for any  claim
issue or  matter  as to  which  such a person  has been  adjudged  by a court of
competent jurisdiction,  after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable
to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the  corporation  unless
and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or
other court of competent  jurisdiction  determines upon application that in view
of all the  circumstances  of the case,  the  person is  fairly  and  reasonably
entitled to indemnity for which expenses as the court deems proper.

                                       3
To the extent that a director,  officer,  employee or agent of a corporation has
been  successful  on the merits or otherwise  in defense of any action,  suit or
proceeding  referred  to above,  or in  defense  of any  claim,  issue or matter
therein,  he or she must be indemnified  by the  corporation  against  expenses,
including  attorney's  fees,  actually and reasonably  incurred by him or her in
connection  with the defense.  Any  indemnification  under this section,  unless
ordered by a court or  advanced  pursuant to this  section,  must be made by the
corporation  only as authorized in the specific case upon a  determination  that
indemnification  of the  director,  officer,  employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances.  The determination must be made: (a) by the stockholders;  (b) by
the board of directors by majority vote or a quorum  consisting of directors who
were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;  (c) if a majority vote of a
quorum  consisting  of  directors  who were not parties to the  action,  suit or
proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;  or (d)
if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action,  suit or
proceeding  cannot  be  obtained,  by  independent  legal  counsel  in a written
opinion.

The Restated  Certificate of  Incorporation,  the bylaws or an agreement made by
the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred
in defending a civil or criminal action,  suit or proceeding must be paid by the
corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final  disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director  or  officer to repay the amount if it is  ultimately  determined  by a
court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified
by the  corporation.  The provisions of this section do not affect any rights to
advancement  of expenses to which  corporate  personnel  other than directors or
officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

The  indemnification  and advancement of expenses  authorized in or ordered by a
court pursuant to this section: (a) does not exclude any other rights to which a
person seeking  indemnification or advancement or expenses may be entitled under
the articles of incorporation or any bylaw,  agreement,  vote of stockholders or
disinterested  directors  or  otherwise,  for  either  an  action  in his or her
official  capacity  or an action in another  capacity  while  holding his or her
office, except that indemnification,  unless ordered by a court pursuant to this
section  or  for  the  advancement  of  any  director  or  officer  if  a  final
adjudication  establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional
misconduct,  fraud or a knowing  violation  of the law and was  material  to the
cause of action; and (b) continues for a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.

ITEM 7:  Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Not Applicable

ITEM 8:  Exhibits.

The  exhibits to this  registration  statement  are listed in the Exhibit  Index
elsewhere herein.

ITEM 9:  Undertakings.

(a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file,  during any period in which  offers or sales are being made, a
         post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i)  To include any  prospectus  required  by Section  10(a)(3) of the
               Securities Act;

          (ii) To reflect in the  prospectus  any facts or events  arising after
               the  effective  date of the  registration  statement (or the most
               recent post-effective  amendment thereof) which,  individually or
               in  the  aggregate,   represent  a  fundamental   change  in  the
               information set forth in the registration statement;

          (iii)To include any material  information  with respect to the plan of
               distribution   not  previously   disclosed  in  the  registration
               statement  or any  material  change  to such  information  in the
               registration statement;

          PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do
          not apply if the  registration  statement is on Form S-3,  Form S-8 or
          Form  F-3,  and  the   information   required  to  be  included  in  a
          post-effective  amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
          reports filed with or furnished to the  Commission  by the  registrant
          pursuant to section 13 or section  15(d) of the  Exchange Act that are
          incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

     (2)  That,  for  the  purpose  of  determining   any  liability  under  the
          Securities Act, each such post-effective  amendment shall be deemed to
          be a new  registration  statement  relating to the securities  offered
          therein,  and the  offering of such  securities  at that time shall be
          deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
          of  the  securities  being  registered  which  remain  unsold  at  the
          termination of the offering.

                                       5
(b)  The  undersigned   Registrant  hereby  undertakes  that,  for  purposes  of
     determining  any  liability  under the  Securities  Act, each filing of the
     Registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of
     the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
     plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
     incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to
     be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
     and the offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
     initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
     may be permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
     Registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  the Registrant has been
     advised  that in the  opinion of the  Commission  such  indemnification  is
     against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
     unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification  against such
     liabilities  (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
     or paid by a  director,  officer or  controlling  person in the  successful
     defense of any action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted by such director,
     officer or  controlling  person in  connection  with the  securities  being
     registered,  the Registrant will,  unless in the opinion of its counsel the
     matter has been  settled  by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of
     appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
     against  public  policy  as  expressed  in the  Securities  Act and will be
     governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                       6

           EXCERPTS FROM RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
           ---------------------------------------------------

Article 4, as restated, reads as follows:

4. Capital  Stock.  The  aggregate  number of shares of capital  stock which the
Corporation  shall have authority to allot is one hundred million  (100,000,000)
shares  of One  Dollar  ($.001)  par  value  common  stock  and  twenty  million
(20,000,000)  of  preferred  which  shall be no par  value  stock.  The Board of
Directors may, from time to time, fix a consideration  for which said shares may
be issued and sold,  which  consideration  shall not be less than .001 cents per
share.

Article 6, as restated, reads as follows:

6. Bylaws. The Directors of the Corporation shall have the power to adopt, alter
or replace Bylaws for governing the Corporation, the conduct of its affairs, the
management of its  property,  the transfer of shares and the rights or posers of
the  Shareholders,  Directors,  Officers and employees of the Corporation.  Such
power shall be exercised by two-thirds  (2/3)  majority vote of the Directors at
any  regular  or special  meeting  duly  convened  after  proper  notice to such
Directors has been given.  Provided,  however,  nothing  herein shall divest the
Shareholders of the power, nor limit their poser to adopt,  amend or repeal such
Bylaws.

(ii) Excerpts from the By-Laws. Paragraphs 2-11 of the By-Laws read as follows:

2. Date and Time of Shareholders Annual Meeting. The annual shareholders meeting
will be held on the 24th of March of every year at 9:00 a.m., or no more than 83
days after the fiscal  year end.  This  meeting is for the  purpose of  electing
directors and for  transacting any other  necessary  business.  If this day is a
legal holiday, the meeting will be held on the next day.

3. Shareholders  Special  Meetings.  Special meetings of the shareholders may be
called at any time and for any purpose.  These  meetings may be called by either
the  president  or the board of  directors  or upon request of 51 percent of the
shareholders of the corporation.  The request for a special meeting must be made
in writing which states the time, place and purpose of the meeting.  The request
should be given to the  secretary of the  corporation  who will prepare and send
written  notice to all  shareholders  of record who are  entitled to vote at the
meeting.

4.  Place of  Shareholders  Meetings.  The board of  directors  has the power to
designate the place for shareholders meetings,  unless a waiver of notice of the
meeting signed by all shareholders  designates the place for the meeting.  If no
place  is  designated,   either  by  the  board  of  directors  or  all  of  the
shareholders, then the place for the meeting will be the principal office of the
corporation.

5. Notice of Shareholders Meetings. Written notice of shareholders meetings must
be sent to each  shareholder  of record  entitled  to vote at the  meeting.  The
notice must be sent no less than 8 days nor more than 10 days before the date of
the meeting. The notice should be sent to the shareholder's  address as shown in
the corporate Stock Transfer Book. The notice will include the place,  date, and
time of the meeting.  Notices for special meetings must also include the purpose
of the meeting.  When notices are sent,  the secretary of the  corporation  must
prepare an  Affidavit  of Mailing of Notices.  Shareholders  may waive notice of
meetings if done in writing, except that attendance at a meeting is considered a
waiver of notice of the meeting.

                                       9
6. Shareholders Entitled to Notice, to Vote, or to Dividends. For the purpose of
determining which  shareholders are entitled to notice, to vote at meetings,  or
to receive dividends,  the board of directors may order that the corporate Stock
Transfer  Books be closed for 30 days prior to a meeting  or the  issuance  of a
dividend.  The  shareholders  entitled to receive notice,  vote at meetings,  or
receive dividends are those who are recorded in the Stock Transfer Book upon the
closing of the Book.  Instead of closing the Books,  the board of directors  may
also set a Record Date. The shareholders  recorded in the Stock Transfer Book at
the close of business  on the Record  Date will be  entitled to receive  notice,
vote at  meetings,  or receive  dividends.  A list of  shareholders  entitled to
receive notice,  vote at meetings,  or receive dividends will be prepared by the
secretary when necessary and provided to the officers of the corporation.  Every
shareholder  who is entitled to receive  notice,  vote, or receive  dividends is
also entitled to examine this list and the corporate stock transfer book.

7. Shareholders  Quorum. A quorum for shareholders meeting will be a majority of
the  outstanding  shares which are  entitled to vote at the meeting,  whether in
person or  represented  by  proxy.  Once a quorum is  present,  business  may be
conducted at the meeting, even if shareholders leave prior to adjournment.

8. Shareholders Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote
by signed proxy or by power of attorney. To be valid, a proxy must be filed with
the  secretary of the  corporation  prior to the stated time of the meeting.  No
proxy may be valid for over 12  months,  unless  the proxy  specifically  states
otherwise.  Proxies may always be revocable prior to the meeting for which it is
intended. Attendance at the meeting for which a proxy has been authorized always
revokes the proxy.

9.  Shareholders  Voting.  Each  outstanding  share of the corporation  which is
entitled  to vote as shown on the Stock  Transfer  Book will have one vote.  The
vote of the  holders  of a  majority  of the  shares  entitled  to vote  will be
sufficient  to decide any  matter,  unless a greater  number is  required by the
Articles of Incorporation or by state law. Adjournment shall be by majority vote
of those shares entitled to vote.

10.  Shareholder  Consent  Resolutions.  Any  action  which  may be  taken  at a
shareholders  meeting may be taken instead  without a meeting if a resolution is
consented to, in writing,  by all  shareholders who would be entitled to vote on
the matter.

11.  Shareholders  Cumulative  Voting.  For  the  election  of  directors,  each
shareholder may vote in a Cumulative manner, if desired.  Cumulative voting will
mean that if each  shareholder  has one vote per  director  to be  elected,  the
shareholder  may vote all votes for a single  director or spread the votes among
directors in any manner.
