                                    ARTICLE I

                                CORPORATE OFFICES

         1.1      PRINCIPAL OFFICE

         The  board  of  directors  shall  fix  the  location  of the  principal
executive  office of the corporation at any place within or outside the State of
California.  If the principal executive office is located outside such state and
the corporation has one or more business  offices in such state,  then the board
of directors shall fix and designate a principal business office in the State of
California.

         1.2      OTHER OFFICES

         The board of directors may at any time establish  branch or subordinate
offices  at any  place or  places  where  the  corporation  is  qualified  to do
business.

                                   ARTICLE II

                            MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

         2.1      PLACE OF MEETINGS

         Meetings of  shareholders  shall be held at any place within or outside
the State of California designated by the board of directors.  In the absence of
any such  designation,  shareholders'  meetings  shall be held at the  principal
executive office of the corporation.

         2.2      ANNUAL MEETING

         The annual  meeting of  shareholders  shall be held each year on a date
and at a time  designated  by the board of  directors.  In the  absence  of such
designation, the annual meeting of shareholders shall be held on the last Friday
of  October  in each year at 10:00  a.m.  However,  if such day falls on a legal
holiday,  then the meeting  shall be held at the same time and place on the next
succeeding full business day. At the meeting,  directors  shall be elected,  and
any other proper business may be transacted.

         2.3      SPECIAL MEETING

         A special meeting of the  shareholders may be called at any time by the
board of directors,  or by the chairman of the board,  or by the chief executive
officer, or by one or more shareholders
<PAGE>

holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than ten percent (10%)
of the votes at that meeting.

         If a special  meeting is called by any person or persons other than the
board of directors,  the chief  executive  officer or the chairman of the board,
then the request  shall be in writing,  specifying  the time of such meeting and
the  general  nature of the  business  proposed to be  transacted,  and shall be
delivered  personally  or sent by  registered  mail or by  telegraphic  or other
facsimile  transmission  to the  chairman  of the  board,  the  chief  executive
officer, the president,  any vice president or the secretary of the corporation.
The officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly given to the
shareholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4
and 2.5 of these  bylaws,  that a meeting will be held at the time  requested by
the person or persons calling the meeting, so long as that time is not less than
thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request.
If the notice is not given within twenty (20) days after receipt of the request,
then the person or persons  requesting the meeting may give the notice.  Nothing
contained in this  paragraph of this Section 2.3 shall be construed as limiting,
fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of shareholders  called by action of
the board of directors may be held.

         2.4      NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS

         All  notices of  meetings of  shareholders  shall be sent or  otherwise
given in accordance with Section 2.5 of these bylaws not less than ten (10) (or,
if sent by  third-class  mail  pursuant to Section 2.5 of these  bylaws,  thirty
(30)) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the  meeting.  The notice
shall specify the place,  date, and hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a
special  meeting,  the  general  nature of the  business  to be  transacted  (no
business  other than that  specified in the notice may be transacted) or (ii) in
the case of the annual meeting,  those matters which the board of directors,  at
the time of giving the notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders
(but  subject to the  provisions  of the next  paragraph of this Section 2.4 any
proper  matter may be presented at the meeting for such  action).  The notice of
any meeting at which  directors  are to be elected shall include the name of any
nominee  or  nominees  whom,  at the time of the  notice,  the board  intends to
present for election.

         If action is proposed to be taken at any meeting for  approval of (i) a
contract or transaction  in which a director has a direct or indirect  financial
interest,  pursuant to Section 310 of the  Corporations  Code of California (the
"Code"), (ii) an amendment of the articles of incorporation, pursuant to Section
902 of the Code, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation,  pursuant to Section
1201 of the Code, (iv) a voluntary  dissolution of the corporation,  pursuant to
Section 1900 of the Code, or (v) a  distribution  in  dissolution  other than in
accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares,  pursuant to Section
2007 of the Code,  then the notice  shall also state the general  nature of that
proposal.

         2.5      MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE

         Written notice of any meeting of shareholders shall be given either (i)
personally or (ii) by first-class  mail or (iii) by third-class mail but only if
the corporation  has outstanding  shares held of record by five hundred (500) or
more persons  (determined  as provided in Section 605 of the Code) on the record
date for the  shareholders'  meeting,  or (iv) by  telegraphic  or other written

                                       2
<PAGE>

communication.  Notices not personally  delivered  shall be sent charges prepaid
and shall be Exhibit 3.1  addressed  to the  shareholder  at the address of that
shareholder  appearing  on  the  books  of  the  corporation  or  given  by  the
shareholder  to the  corporation  for the purpose of notice.  If no such address
appears on the corporation's  books or is given,  notice shall be deemed to have
been given if sent to that  shareholder  by mail or telegraphic or other written
communication to the corporation's  principal  executive office, or if published
at least once in a newspaper  of general  circulation  in the county  where that
office is  located.  Notice  shall be deemed to have been given at the time when
delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by telegram or other means
of written communication.

         If any  notice  addressed  to a  shareholder  at the  address  of  that
shareholder  appearing  on the  books  of the  corporation  is  returned  to the
corporation  by the United  States  Postal  Service  marked to indicate that the
United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice to the  shareholder
at that address, then all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been
duly  given  without  further  mailing  if the same  shall be  available  to the
shareholder  on written  demand of the  shareholder  at the principal  executive
office  of the  corporation  for a period  of one (1) year  from the date of the
giving of the notice.

         An  affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any
shareholders'  meeting,  executed by the secretary,  assistant  secretary or any
transfer  agent of the  corporation  giving  the  notice,  shall be prima  facie
evidence of the giving of such notice.

         2.6      QUORUM

         The  presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the
shares  entitled to vote thereat  constitutes  a quorum for the  transaction  of
business at all meetings of  shareholders.  The  shareholders  present at a duly
called or held  meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business
until  adjournment,  notwithstanding  the withdrawal of enough  shareholders  to
leave less than a quorum,  if any  action  taken  (other  than  adjournment)  is
approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.

         2.7      ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE

         Any shareholders' meeting,  annual or special,  whether or not a quorum
is present,  may be adjourned  from time to time by the board of directors,  the
chief executive officer or the vote of the majority of the shares represented at
that meeting, either in person or by proxy. In the absence of a quorum, no other
business may be transacted at that meeting  except as provided in Section 2.6 of
these bylaws.

         When  any  meeting  of  shareholders,  either  annual  or  special,  is
adjourned  to another time or place,  notice need not be given of the  adjourned
meeting  if the time  and  place  are  announced  at the  meeting  at which  the
adjournment is taken. However, if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is
fixed or if the  adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days from the date
set for the original  meeting,  then notice of the  adjourned  meeting  shall be
given.  Notice of any such adjourned  meeting shall be given to each shareholder
of record  entitled  to vote at the  adjourned  meeting in  accordance  with the
provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of these bylaws. At

                                       3
<PAGE>

any adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have
been transacted at the original meeting.

         2.8      POSTPONED MEETING

         Any  annual  shareholders'  meeting  may be  postponed  by the board of
directors or the chief executive  officer.  Notice of postponement shall be sent
or otherwise  given not less than ten (10) days before the date of the scheduled
meeting.

         Written notice of postponement  shall be given either (i) personally or
(ii) by first-class mail or (iii) by telegraphic or other written communication.
Notices not  personally  delivered  shall be sent  charges  prepaid and shall be
addressed to the shareholder at the address of that shareholder appearing on the
books of the  corporation or given by the shareholder to the corporation for the
purpose of notice. If no such address appears on the  corporation's  books or is
given,  notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent to that shareholder by
mail  or  telegraphic  or  other  written  communication  to  the  corporation's
principal  executive  office,  or if  published  at least once in a newspaper of
general circulation in the county where that office is located.  Notice shall be
deemed to have been given at the time when delivered  personally or deposited in
the mail or sent by telegram or other means of written communication.

         Notice of the postponed  meeting shall be given to each  shareholder of
record  entitled  to  vote at the  postponed  meeting  in  accordance  with  the
provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of these bylaws. At any postponed meeting the
corporation  may transact any business  which might have been  transacted at the
original meeting.

         2.9      VOTING

         The shareholders  entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall
be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 of these bylaws,
subject to the  provisions of Sections 702 through 704 of the Code  (relating to
voting  shares held by a  fiduciary,  in the name of a  corporation  or in joint
ownership).

         The  shareholders'  vote may be by voice vote or by  ballot;  provided,
however,  that any election for  directors  must be by ballot if demanded by any
shareholder at the meeting and before the voting has begun.

         Except as provided in the last paragraph of this Section 2.9, or as may
be otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation,  each outstanding share,
regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a
vote of the  shareholders.  Any  shareholder  entitled to vote on any matter may
vote part of the shares in favor of the  proposal  and  refrain  from voting the
remaining  shares or, except when the matter is the election of  directors,  may
vote them against the  proposal;  but, if the  shareholder  fails to specify the
number  of shares  which the  shareholder  is voting  affirmatively,  it will be
conclusively  presumed that the shareholder's  approving vote is with respect to
all shares which the shareholder is entitled to vote.

         If a quorum is present,  the  affirmative  vote of the  majority of the
shares  represented  and  voting at a duly held  meeting  (which  shares  voting
affirmatively  also constitute at least a

                                       4
<PAGE>

majority of the required  quorum) shall be the act of the  shareholders,  unless
the vote of a greater  number or a vote by classes is required by the Code or by
the articles of incorporation.

         At a  shareholders'  meeting at which  directors  are to be elected,  a
shareholder  shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e.  cast for any candidate a
number of votes greater than the number of votes which such shareholder normally
is entitled  to cast) if the  candidates'  names have been placed in  nomination
prior to  commencement  of the voting and the shareholder has given notice prior
to commencement of the voting of the shareholder's  intention to cumulate votes.
If any shareholder has given such a notice,  then every shareholder  entitled to
vote may cumulate  votes for  candidates in nomination  either (i) by giving one
candidate  a number of votes  equal to the  number of  directors  to be  elected
multiplied  by the  number  of votes  to which  that  shareholder's  shares  are
normally  entitled or (ii) by distributing the  shareholder's  votes on the same
principle among any or all of the candidates, as the shareholder thinks fit. The
candidates  receiving the highest number of affirmative  votes, up to the number
of directors to be elected,  shall be elected;  votes  against any candidate and
votes withheld shall have no legal effect.

         2.10     VALIDATION OF MEETINGS; WAIVER OF NOTICE; CONSENT

         The  transactions  of any  meeting of  shareholders,  either  annual or
special,  however called and noticed,  and wherever  held,  shall be as valid as
though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice,  if a quorum be
present  either  in  person  or by  proxy,  and if,  either  before or after the
meeting,  each  person  entitled  to vote,  who was not  present in person or by
proxy,  signs a written  waiver of notice  or a consent  to the  holding  of the
meeting or an approval of the minutes  thereof.  The waiver of notice or consent
or approval need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose
of any annual or special meeting of shareholders, except that if action is taken
or proposed to be taken for  approval of any of those  matters  specified in the
second paragraph of Section 2.4 of these bylaws, the waiver of notice or consent
or approval  shall state the general  nature of the proposal.  All such waivers,
consents, and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part
of the minutes of the meeting.

         Attendance by a person at a meeting  shall also  constitute a waiver of
notice of and presence at that  meeting,  except when the person  objects at the
beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business  because the meeting
is not lawfully  called or convened.  Attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of
any right to object to the  consideration  of matters required by the Code to be
included in the notice of the meeting but not so included,  if that objection is
expressly made at the meeting.

         2.11     SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING

         Any  action  which may be taken at any  annual or  special  meeting  of
shareholders  may be taken  without a meeting and  without  prior  notice,  if a
consent in writing,  setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders
of  outstanding  shares  having not less than the  minimum  number of votes that
would be  necessary  to  authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all
shares entitled to vote on that action were present and voted.

                                       5
<PAGE>

         In the case of election of directors, such a consent shall be effective
only if signed by the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote for the
election of  directors.  However,  a director may be elected at any time to fill
any  vacancy  on the board of  directors,  provided  that it was not  created by
removal of a director and that it has not been filled by the  directors,  by the
written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding  shares entitled
to vote for the election of directors.

         All such consents  shall be maintained  in the corporate  records.  Any
shareholder giving a written consent,  or the shareholder's  proxy holders, or a
transferee of the shares, or a personal  representative  of the shareholder,  or
their respective proxy holders,  may revoke the consent by a writing received by
the secretary of the corporation before written consents of the number of shares
required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the secretary.

         If the  consents  of all  shareholders  entitled  to vote have not been
solicited  in  writing  and  if  the  unanimous  written  consent  of  all  such
shareholders  has not been received then the secretary  shall give prompt notice
of the corporate  action approved by the  shareholders  without a meeting.  Such
notice  shall  be  given to  those  shareholders  entitled  to vote who have not
consented  in writing and shall be given in the manner  specified in Section 2.5
of these  bylaws.  In the case of approval of (i) a contract or  transaction  in
which a  director  has a direct or  indirect  financial  interest,  pursuant  to
Section 310 of the Code, (ii)  indemnification  of a corporate "agent," pursuant
to Section 317 of the Code, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation,  pursuant
to Section 1201 of the Code, and (iv) a distribution  in dissolution  other than
in  accordance  with the rights of  outstanding  preferred  shares,  pursuant to
Section  2007 of the  Code,  the  notice  shall be given at least  ten (10) days
before the consummation of any action authorized by that approval.

         2.12     RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDER NOTICE; VOTING; GIVING CONSENTS

         For purposes of determining the shareholders  entitled to notice of any
meeting or to vote  thereat or  entitled  to give  consent to  corporate  action
without a meeting,  the board of directors  may fix, in advance,  a record date,
which  shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before
the date of any such  meeting  nor more than  sixty  (60) days  before  any such
action without a meeting,  and in such event only  shareholders of record on the
date so fixed are  entitled  to notice and to vote or to give  consents,  as the
case may be,  notwithstanding  any  transfer  of any  shares on the books of the
corporation after the record date, except as otherwise provided in the Code.

         If the board of directors does not so fix a record date:

                  (a) the record date for determining  shareholders  entitled to
notice  of or to vote at a  meeting  of  shareholders  shall be at the  close of
business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or,
if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding
the day on which the meeting is held; and

                  (b) the record date for determining  shareholders  entitled to
give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, (i) when no prior
action by the board has been taken,  shall be the day on which the first written
consent is given,  or (ii) when prior action by the

                                       6
<PAGE>

board has been taken,  shall be at the close of business on the day on which the
board adopts the resolution  relating to that action, or the sixtieth (60th) day
before the date of such other action, whichever is later.

         The record date for any other  purpose  shall be as provided in Article
VIII of these bylaws.

         2.13     PROXIES

         Every person  entitled to vote for  directors,  or on any other matter,
shall  have  the  right  to do so  either  in  person  or by one or more  agents
authorized  by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the secretary
of the corporation.  A proxy shall be deemed signed if the shareholder's name is
placed  on the proxy  (whether  by manual  signature,  typewriting,  telegraphic
transmission   or   otherwise)   by  the   shareholder   or  the   shareholder's
attorney-in-fact.  A validly  executed  proxy  which  does not state  that it is
irrevocable  shall  continue in full force and effect  unless (i) the person who
executed  the  proxy  revokes  it prior to the time of voting  by  delivering  a
writing to the  corporation  stating that the proxy is revoked or by executing a
subsequent  proxy and presenting it to the meeting or by voting in person at the
meeting,  or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that
proxy is received by the  corporation  before the vote pursuant to that proxy is
counted; provided, however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of
eleven (11) months from the date of the proxy,  unless otherwise provided in the
proxy.  The dates  contained on the forms of proxy  presumptively  determine the
order of execution,  regardless of the postmark  dates on the envelopes in which
they are mailed.  The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is
irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 705(e) and 705(f) of
the Code.

         2.14     INSPECTORS OF ELECTION

         Before any meeting of shareholders,  the board of directors may appoint
an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment.

         If no inspector of election is so  appointed,  then the chairman of the
meeting  may, and on the request of any  shareholder  or a  shareholder's  proxy
shall, appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting. The
number of  inspectors  shall be either one (1) or three (3). If  inspectors  are
appointed at a meeting  pursuant to the request of one (1) or more  shareholders
or proxies, then the holders of a majority of shares or their proxies present at
the meeting shall  determine  whether one (1) or three (3)  inspectors are to be
appointed.  If any person  appointed  as  inspector  fails to appear or fails or
refuses to act,  then the  chairman of the meeting  may, and upon the request of
any  shareholder or a shareholder's  proxy shall,  appoint a person to fill that
vacancy.

         Such inspectors shall:

                  (a) determine the number of shares  outstanding and the voting
power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of
a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies;

                  (b) receive votes, ballots or consents;

                                       7

                  (c) hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way
arising in connection with the right to vote;

                  (d) count and tabulate all votes or consents;

                  (e) determine when the polls shall close;

                  (f) determine the result; and

                  (g) do any  other  acts  that may be  proper  to  conduct  the
election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.

         2.15     ADVANCE NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS

                  (a) At any  annual  meeting  of the  shareholders,  only  such
business shall be conducted and only such  nominations  shall be considered,  as
shall have been properly  brought before the meeting.  For  nominations or other
business to be properly  brought before an annual  meeting by a shareholder  (i)
the  shareholder  must have  given  timely  notice  thereof  in  writing  to the
secretary  of the  corporation,  and (ii) such other  business  must be a proper
matter for shareholder action under California  General  Corporations Law. To be
timely,  a  shareholder's  notice  must be  delivered  to the  secretary  at the
principal  executive  offices  of the  corporation  not later  than the close of
business on the  ninetieth  (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on
the one  hundred  twentieth  (120th) day prior to the first  anniversary  of the
preceding year's annual meeting;  provided,  however, that in the event that the
date of the annual  meeting is advanced  more than thirty (30) days prior to, or
delayed by more than thirty (30) days after,  the  anniversary  of the preceding
year's  annual  meeting,  notice  by the  shareholder  to be  timely  must be so
delivered not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following
the day on which public  announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.
In no event shall the public  announcement  of an adjournment or postponement of
an annual meeting  commence a new time period for the giving of a  shareholder's
notice as described above. Such shareholder's  notice shall set forth: (A) as to
each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director
all  information  relating to such person  that is required to be  disclosed  in
solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is
otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") and Rule 14a-11 thereunder, or
as such rules may be amended or  superseded,  and shall be  accompanied  by such
person's  written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and
to serving as a  director  if  elected;  (B) as to any other  business  that the
shareholder  proposes to bring before the meeting,  a brief  description  of the
business  desired to be brought  before the meeting,  the reasons for conducting
such business at the meeting and any material  interest in such business of such
shareholder  and the beneficial  owner,  if any, on whose behalf the proposal is
made; and (C) as to the shareholder  giving the notice and the beneficial owner,
if any,  on whose  behalf the  nomination  or  proposal is made (i) the name and
address of such shareholder,  as they appear on the corporation's  books, and of

                  (b) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures  set  forth  in this  Section  2.15  shall  be  eligible  to serve as
directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of shareholders
as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance  with the procedures
set forth  herein.  Except as  otherwise  provided by law,  the  chairman of the
meeting  shall have the power and duty to determine  whether a nomination or any
business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed, as the
case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these bylaws and, if
any proposed  nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws,  to
declare that such  defective  proposal or nomination  shall not be presented for
shareholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded.

                                    DIRECTORS

         3.1      POWERS

         Subject  to the  provisions  of the  Code  and any  limitations  in the
articles of  incorporation  and these bylaws  relating to action  required to be
approved by the  shareholders  or by the  outstanding  shares,  the business and
affairs of the  corporation  shall be managed and all corporate  powers shall be
exercised by or under the direction of the board of directors.

         3.2      NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

         The number of directors of the corporation  shall be not less than four
(4) nor more than  seven (7).  The exact  number of  directors  shall be six (6)
until  changed,  within the limits  specified  above,  by a bylaw  amending this
Section 3.2, duly adopted by the board of directors or by the shareholders.  The
indefinite number of directors may be changed, or a definite number may be fixed
without  provision for an indefinite  number, by a duly adopted amendment to the
articles of  incorporation  or by an amendment to this bylaw duly adopted by the
vote or written  consent of holders  of a  majority  of the  outstanding  shares
entitled to vote; provided, however, that an amendment reducing the fixed number
or the  minimum  number of  directors  to a number  less than five (5) cannot be
adopted if the votes cast against its  adoption at a meeting,  or the shares not
consenting in the case of an action by a written consent, are equal to more than
sixteen and two-thirds  percent (16-2/3%) of the outstanding  shares entitled to
vote thereon.  No amendment may change the stated  maximum  number of authorized
directors to a number  greater than two (2) times the stated  minimum  number of
directors minus one (1).

         No  reduction  of the  authorized  number of  directors  shall have the
effect of removing any director before that director's term of office expires.

                                       9
<PAGE>

         Directors  shall be elected at each annual meeting of  shareholders  to
hold office until the next annual meeting.  Each director,  including a director
elected to fill a vacancy,  shall hold office until the  expiration  of the term
for which elected and until a successor has been elected and qualified.

         Any  director  may resign  effective  on giving  written  notice to the
chairman of the board, the chief executive  officer,  the secretary or the board
of directors,  unless the notice  specifies a later time for that resignation to
become  effective.  If the  resignation  of a director is  effective at a future
time,  the board of  directors  may elect a  successor  to take  office when the
resignation becomes effective.

         Vacancies in the board of directors  may be filled by a majority of the
remaining  directors,  even  if  less  than a  quorum,  or by a  sole  remaining
director; however, a vacancy created by the removal of a director by the vote or
written consent of the  shareholders or by court order may be filled only by the
affirmative  vote of a majority of the shares  represented  and voting at a duly
held meeting at which a quorum is present  (which  shares  voting  affirmatively
also -constitute a majority of the required quorum), or by the unanimous written
consent of all shares  entitled to vote thereon.  Each director so elected shall
hold  office  until the next  annual  meeting  of the  shareholders  and until a
successor has been elected and qualified.

         A vacancy or  vacancies  in the board of  directors  shall be deemed to
exist (i) in the event of the death,  resignation  or  removal of any  director,
(ii) if the board of directors  by  resolution  declares  vacant the office of a
director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court or convicted
of a felony,  (iii) if the authorized number of directors is increased,  or (iv)
if the  shareholders  fail, at any meeting of shareholders at which any director
or directors are elected, to elect the number of directors to be elected at that
meeting.

         The  shareholders may elect a director or directors at any time to fill
any vacancy or  vacancies  not filled by the  directors,  but any such  election
other than to fill a vacancy created by removal,  if by written  consent,  shall
require  the  consent of the  holders of a majority  of the  outstanding  shares
entitled to vote thereon.

         3.5      PLACE OF MEETINGS; MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE

         Regular  meetings  of the board of  directors  may be held at any place
within or outside the State of California  that has been designated from time to
time by resolution of the board.  In the absence of such a designation,  regular
meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation.

the Code (as to  appointment of  committees),  Section 317(e) of the Code (as to

meeting.

meeting without  protesting,  prior thereto or at its commencement,  the lack of
notice to such  directors.  All such waivers,  consents,  and approvals shall be
filed with the corporate  records or made part of the minutes of the meeting.  A

may be  taken  without  a  meeting,  provided  that  all  members  of the  board

                               RECORDS AND REPORTS

         7.1      MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF SHARE REGISTER

         The corporation shall keep either at its principal  executive office or
at the office of its transfer  agent or registrar (if either be  appointed),  as
determined by resolution of the board of directors, a record of its shareholders
listing the names and addresses of all  shareholders and the number and class of
shares held by each shareholder.

         A shareholder or  shareholders  of the  corporation  who holds at least
five  percent  (5%) in the  aggregate of the  outstanding  voting  shares of the
corporation or who holds at least one percent (1%) of such voting shares and has
filed a Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the
election of  directors,  may (i)  inspect and copy the records of  shareholders'
names,  addresses,  and  shareholdings  during usual  business hours on five (5)
days' prior  written  demand on the  corporation,  (ii) obtain from the transfer
agent of the  corporation,  on written demand and on the tender of such transfer
agent's  usual  charges for such list, a list of the names and  addresses of the
shareholders  who are entitled to vote for the election of directors,  and their
shareholdings,  as of the most  recent  record date for which that list has been
compiled or as of a date specified by the shareholder after the date of demand.

         Such  list  shall  be made  available  to any such  shareholder  by the
transfer  agent on or  before  the later of five (5) days  after  the  demand is
received or five (5) days after the date  specified in the demand as the date as
of which the list is to be compiled.

         The  record of  shareholders  shall also be open to  inspection  on the
written demand of any  shareholder or holder of a voting trust  certificate,  at
any time during usual business hours,  for a purpose  reasonably  related to the
holder's  interests  as a  shareholder  or  as  the  holder  of a  voting  trust
certificate.

         Any inspection and copying under this Section 7.1 may be made in person
or by an agent or  attorney  of the  shareholder  or  holder  of a voting  trust
certificate making the demand.

         7.2      MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF BYLAWS

         The corporation shall keep at its principal executive office or, if its
principal  executive office is not in the State of California,  at its principal
business  office in California the original or a copy of these bylaws as amended
to date,  which bylaws shall be open to  inspection by the  shareholders  at all
reasonable  times during office hours. If the principal  executive office of the
corporation  is  outside  the State of  California  and the  corporation  has no
principal  business  office in such state,  then the secretary  shall,  upon the
written request of any shareholder,  furnish to that shareholder a copy of these
bylaws as amended to date.

         7.3      MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF OTHER CORPORATE RECORDS

         The accounting  books and records and the minutes of proceedings of the
shareholders,  of the board of directors,  and of any committee or committees of
the board of directors  shall be kept

                                       17
<PAGE>

at such  place or places as are  designated  by the  board of  directors  or, in
absence  of  such  designation,   at  the  principal  executive  office  of  the
corporation. The minutes shall be kept in written form, and the accounting books
and records shall be kept either in written form or in any other form capable of
being converted into written form.

         The  minutes  and  accounting  books  and  records  shall  be  open  to
inspection  upon the  written  demand of any  shareholder  or holder of a voting
trust  certificate,  at any reasonable time during usual business  hours,  for a
purpose  reasonably related to the holder's interests as a shareholder or as the
holder of a voting trust certificate. The inspection may be made in person or by
an agent or attorney and shall include the right to copy and make extracts. Such
rights of inspection shall extend to the records of each subsidiary  corporation
of the corporation.

         7.4      INSPECTION BY DIRECTORS

         Every director shall have the absolute right at any reasonable  time to
inspect all books,  records, and documents of every kind as well as the physical
properties of the  corporation  and each of its  subsidiary  corporations.  Such
inspection  by a director may be made in person or by an agent or attorney.  The
right of inspection includes the right to copy and make extracts of documents.

         7.5      ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS; WAIVER

         The board of directors  shall cause an annual  report to be sent to the
shareholders not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of the
fiscal  year  adopted by the  corporation.  Such  report  shall be sent at least
fifteen  (15) days (or,  if sent by  third-class  mail,  thirty-five  (35) days)
before the annual meeting of shareholders to be held during the next fiscal year
and in the manner  specified in Section 2.5 of these bylaws for giving notice to
shareholders of the corporation.

         The annual  report shall  contain (i) a balance  sheet as of the end of
the fiscal  year,  (ii) an income  statement,  (iii) a  statement  of changes in
financial  position  for the fiscal  year,  and (iv) any  report of  independent
accountants  or, if there is no such report,  the  certificate  of an authorized
officer of the corporation  that the statements were prepared without audit from
the books and records of the corporation.

         The foregoing  requirement  of an annual report shall be waived so long
as the  shares  of the  corporation  are held by fewer  than one  hundred  (100)
holders of record.

         7.6      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         If no annual report for the fiscal year has been sent to  shareholders,
then the corporation  shall,  upon the written  request of any shareholder  made
more than one hundred  twenty  (120) days after the close of such  fiscal  year,
deliver  or mail to the person  making  the  request,  within  thirty  (30) days
thereafter,  a copy of a balance  sheet as of the end of such fiscal year and an
income statement and statement of changes in financial  position for such fiscal
year.

         If a shareholder or shareholders  holding at least five percent (5%) of
the outstanding  shares of any class of stock of the corporation makes a written
request to the corporation for an

                                       18
<PAGE>

income statement of the corporation for the three-month, six-month or nine-month
period of the then  current  fiscal year ended more than thirty (30) days before
the date of the request,  and for a balance sheet of the  corporation  as of the
end of that period,  then the chief financial officer shall cause that statement
to be prepared,  if not already prepared,  and shall deliver  personally or mail
that statement or statements to the person making the request within thirty (30)
days after the receipt of the request.  If the  corporation  has not sent to the
shareholders its annual report for the last fiscal year, the statements referred
to in the first  paragraph  of this  Section 7.6 shall  likewise be delivered or
mailed to the  shareholder  or  shareholders  within  thirty (30) days after the
request.

         The quarterly income  statements and balance sheets referred to in this
section  shall  be  accompanied  by the  report,  if  any,  of  any  independent
accountants  engaged by the  corporation or by the  certificate of an authorized
officer of the corporation  that the financial  statements were prepared without
audit from the books and records of the corporation.

         7.7      REPRESENTATION OF SHARES OF OTHER CORPORATIONS

         The chairman of the board, the chief executive officer,  the president,
any vice  president,  the chief  financial  officer,  the secretary or assistant
secretary of this  corporation,  or any other person  authorized by the board of
directors or the chief executive officer, the president or a vice president,  is
authorized to vote,  represent,  and exercise on behalf of this  corporation all
rights  incident to any and all shares of any other  corporation or corporations
standing in the name of this  corporation.  The authority  herein granted may be
exercised either by such person directly or by any other person authorized to do
so by proxy or power  of  attorney  duly  executed  by such  person  having  the
authority.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                 GENERAL MATTERS

         8.1      RECORD DATE FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN NOTICE AND VOTING

         For  purposes  of  determining  the  shareholders  entitled  to receive
payment of any dividend or other  distribution or allotment of any rights (other
than notice of a meeting) or the shareholders entitled to exercise any rights in
respect of any other lawful action (other than voting at a meeting or consent to
corporate action without a meeting), the board of directors may fix, in advance,
a record  date,  which  shall not be more than sixty  (60) days  before any such
action.  In that case,  only  shareholders of record at the close of business on
the  date so fixed  are  entitled  to  receive  the  dividend,  distribution  or
allotment  of  rights,  or  to  exercise  such  rights,  as  the  case  may  be,
notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after
the record date so fixed, except as otherwise provided in the Code.

         If the  board of  directors  does not so fix a  record  date,  then the
record date for  determining  shareholders  for any such purpose shall be at the
close of business on the day on which the board adopts the applicable resolution
or the sixtieth (60th) day before the date of that action, whichever is later.

         8.2      CHECKS; DRAFTS; EVIDENCES OF INDEBTEDNESS

                                       19
<PAGE>

         From time to time, the board of directors shall determine by resolution
which person or persons may sign or endorse all checks, drafts, other orders for
payment of money,  notes or other evidences of  indebtedness  that are issued in
the name of or payable to the  corporation,  and only the persons so  authorized
shall sign or endorse those instruments.

         8.3      CORPORATE CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS:  HOW EXECUTED

         The board of directors,  except as otherwise  provided in these bylaws,
may  authorize  any officer or officers,  or agent or agents,  to enter into any
contract  or  execute  any  instrument  in the  name  of and  on  behalf  of the
corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

         Unless so  authorized  or ratified by the board of  directors or within
the agency  power of an officer,  no officer,  agent or employee  shall have any
power or authority to bind the  corporation  by any contract or engagement or to
pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

         8.4      CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES

         A certificate or certificates  for shares of the  corporation  shall be
issued to each  shareholder when any of such shares are fully paid. The board of
directors  may  authorize  the issuance of  certificates  for shares partly paid
provided  that  these   certificates   shall  state  the  total  amount  of  the
consideration to be paid for them and the amount actually paid. All certificates
shall be signed in the name of the  corporation  by the chairman of the board or
the vice chairman of the board or the chief executive officer,  the president or
a vice president and by the chief financial officer or an assistant treasurer or
the secretary or an assistant secretary, certifying the number of shares and the
class or series of shares owned by the shareholder. Any or all of the signatures
on the certificate may be facsimile.

         In case any  officer,  transfer  agent or  registrar  who has signed or
whose  facsimile  signature has been placed on a  certificate  ceases to be that
officer,  transfer agent or registrar before that certificate is issued,  it may
be issued by the  corporation  with the same  effect as if that  person  were an
officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

         8.5      LOST CERTIFICATES

         Except as provided in this Section 8.5, no new  certificates for shares
shall be issued to replace a previously issued  certificate unless the latter is
surrendered  to the  corporation  and  cancelled at the same time.  The board of
directors  may,  in case any  share  certificate  or  certificate  for any other
security is lost,  stolen or destroyed,  authorize  the issuance of  replacement
certificates  on such terms and  conditions as the board may require;  the board
may  require  indemnification  of the  corporation  secured  by a bond or  other
adequate security  sufficient to protect the corporation  against any claim that
may be made against it,  including any expense or  liability,  on account of the
alleged loss,  theft or  destruction  of the  certificate or the issuance of the
replacement certificate.

construction, and definitions in the Code shall govern the construction of these
bylaws.  Without limiting the generality of this provision,  the singular number
includes  the plural,  the plural  number  includes the  singular,  and the term
"person" includes both a corporation and a natural person.  Without limiting the
generality  of  this  provision,   the  term  "written  communication"  includes

         New bylaws may be adopted or these bylaws may be amended or repealed by
the vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the  outstanding  shares
entitled to vote;  provided,  however,  that if the articles of incorporation of

then the  authorized  number of directors may be changed only by an amendment of
the articles of incorporation.

         9.2      AMENDMENT BY DIRECTORS

         Subject to the rights of the shareholders as provided in Section 9.1 of
these bylaws, bylaws, other than a bylaw or an amendment of a bylaw changing the

pursuant  to a bylaw  providing  for a  variable  number of  directors),  may be
