                  RESOLVED, that the Board hereby establishes and authorizes the
         issuance of a second series of the blank-check preferred stock, par

                  I.       DESIGNATION AND RANK.

                          The second series of Preferred Stock of the Company is

                  Stock, the Company shall not issue additional securities of
                  any kind, including shares of Preferred Stock of any class,
                  (including without limitation additional shares of Series B
                  Preferred Stock other than Dividend Preferred Shares, defined
                  below, and Dividend Preferred Shares issued on the Series A

                           The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, in
                  preference to the holders of Common Stock and any other class
                  or classes of stock of the Company ranking junior in rights
                  and preferences to the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment
                  of dividends and other distributions shall be entitled to
                  receive, but only out of any funds legally available for the
                  declaration of dividends, cumulative, preferential dividends
                  at the annual rate of 102%, in parity with the holders of
                  Series A Preferred Stock, payable as follows:

                           (a) Series B Preferred Stock dividends (the
                  "Dividends") shall commence to accrue on the shares of
                  Preferred Stock and be cumulative from and after the date of
                  issuance of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and shall
                  be deemed to accumulate and accrue from day to day thereafter.

                           (b) The Dividends shall be payable to the holders of
                  the Series B Preferred Stock quarterly on the 1st day of
                  January, April, July and October at the Company's option in
                  cash or in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock
                  ("Dividend Preferred Shares") during the first two years after
                  the date of issuance of such shares of Series B Preferred
                  Stock. Thereafter, Dividends shall be paid quarterly on the
                  1st day of January, April, July and October in cash. Once
                  issued, any Dividend Preferred Shares shall rank pari passu
                  and have all of the rights and privileges associated with all
                  other shares of the Series B Preferred Stock.

                  III.     REDEMPTION.

                           The Series B Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable

                  entitled to vote with the Common Stock on all matters required
                  or permitted to be submitted to the stockholders of the
                  Company for their approval, but not as a separate class,
                  except to the extent required by Nevada law, and shall have
                  such other voting rights as specifically provided under Nevada
                  law. Each issued and outstanding share of Series B Preferred
                  Stock shall have one vote.

                  V.       SPECIAL VOTING RIGHTS.

<PAGE>

                           (a) ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. Notwithstanding the other
                  provisions of this Section V, upon the occurrence of a Default
                  Event (hereafter defined) and for the duration of the Default
                  Period (hereafter defined) the holders of the Preferred Stock,
                  in addition to any other voting rights they may have herein or
                  by law, shall be entitled to vote (voting as a class by a
                  majority of the outstanding shares thereof) for the election
                  to the Board of Directors of the smallest number of directors
                  necessary to constitute at any given time a majority of the
                  number of members of the Board of Directors, and should such
                  percentage when applied to the number of the members of the
                  Board of Directors result in a number that includes a
                  fraction, then such number shall be increased to the next
                  whole number. In addition, during the Default Period the
                  holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to designate
                  (voting as a class as aforesaid) the number of positions on
                  the Board of Directors, which shall be the smallest number of
                  directors necessary for the nominees of the holders of
                  Preferred Stock to constitute a majority of the full Board. In
                  case the holders of the Preferred Stock become entitled to
                  exercise such special voting rights, they may call a special
                  meeting of stockholders during the Default Period, in the
                  manner provided herein or in the bylaws or otherwise as
                  provided by law, for the purpose of increasing or decreasing
                  the number of positions on the Board of Directors and electing
                  such members to the Board of Directors. In addition, the
                  holders of the Preferred Stock shall have such special voting
                  rights at any annual or regular meeting of stockholders (or
                  any other special meeting not called by the holders of the
                  Preferred Stock) held during the Default Period. In lieu of
                  the foregoing, the holders of the Preferred Stock may take any
                  of such actions by a written consent signed by the holders of
                  at least a majority of the shares of the Preferred Stock
                  outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

                           (b) REMOVAL; VACANCIES. During the Default Period,
                  each director elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock
                  may be removed only by the vote of the holders of the majority
                  of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, voting
                  separately as a class, at a meeting of the stockholders, or of
                  the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock, called for that
                  purpose. During the Default Period, any vacancy in the office
                  of a director elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock
                  may be filled by a vote of the remaining directors then in
                  office elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock, or, if
                  not so filled, by the holders of the Preferred Stock at any
                  meeting, annual or special, for the election of directors held
                  thereafter. A special meeting of stockholders, or of the
                  holders of shares of the Preferred Stock, may be called for
                  the purpose of filling any such vacancy. In the case of
                  removal of any such director, the vacancy may be filled at

                                       3

<PAGE>

                  the same meeting at which such removal shall be voted. Holders
                  of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of each
                  meeting of stockholders at which they shall have any right to
                  vote or notice of which is otherwise required by law. In lieu
                  of the foregoing, the holders of the Preferred Stock may take
                  any of such action by a written consent signed by the holders
                  of at least a majority of the shares of the Preferred Stock
                  outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

                           (c) EXPIRATION OF RIGHT. Upon termination of the
                  Default Period, the special voting rights of the holders of
                  the Preferred Stock provided hereunder shall be immediately
                  divested, but always subject to the revesting of such right in
                  the holders of the Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of any
                  subsequent Default Event. In the event that such rights of the
                  holders of the Preferred Stock shall cease as provided above,
                  then the directors elected to the Board of Directors by the
                  holders of the Preferred Stock under this Section V shall be
                  automatically removed from office, and their respective
                  positions terminated and the number of positions on the Board
                  of Directors reduced in accordance with such termination,
                  without further action on the part of the holders of the
                  Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock or the Board
                  of Directors.

                           (d) DEFAULT EVENT. For purposes hereof, a "Default
                  Event" occurs on the date that (i) the Company has failed to
                  pay any four quarterly Preferred Stock Dividends when due
                  whether consecutive or not and (ii) such Preferred Stock
                  Dividends remain unpaid.

                           (e) DEFAULT PERIOD. For purposes hereof, "Default
                  Period" means a period commencing on the date a Default Event
                  occurs and ending upon the payment of the next quarterly
                  Dividend in full and such cumulative Dividends in arrears in
                  full, such that not more than three quarterly Dividends shall
                  be in arrears.

                  VI.      LIQUIDATION.

                           (a) The Series B Preferred Stock shall be preferred
                  upon liquidation over the Common Stock and any other class or
                  classes of stock of the Company ranking junior in rights and
                  preferences to the Series B Preferred Stock upon liquidation.
                  Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be
                  entitled to be paid, after full payment is made on any stock
                  ranking prior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to rights and
                  preferences (but before any distribution is made to the
                  holders of the Common Stock and such junior stock) upon the
                  voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
                  up of the Company (a "Liquidation").

                                       4

<PAGE>

                           (b) The amount payable on each share of Series B
                  Preferred Stock in the event of Liquidation shall be $2.50 per
                  share.

                           (c) Upon Liquidation, if the net assets of the
                  Company are insufficient to permit the payment in full of the
                  amounts to which the holders of all outstanding shares of
                  Series B Preferred Stock are entitled as provided above, the
                  entire net assets of the Company remaining (after full payment
                  is made on any stock ranking prior to the Series B Preferred
                  Stock as to rights and preferences) shall be distributed among
                  the holders of Series B Preferred Stock in amounts
                  proportionate to the full preferential amounts and holders of
                  shares of preferred stock ranking in parity with the Series B
                  Preferred Stock as to rights and preferences to which they are
                  respectively entitled.

                           (d) For the purpose of this Section VI, the voluntary
                  sale, lease, exchange or transfer, for cash, shares of stock,
                  securities or other consideration, of all or substantially all
                  the Company's property or assets to, or its consolidation or
                  merger with, one or more corporations shall not be deemed to
                  be a Liquidation.

                           (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
                  any holder of Series B Preferred Stock converts its Series B
                  Preferred Stock to Common Stock pursuant to Section VII
                  hereof, the right to preferential liquidation rights pursuant
                  to this Section with respect to such converted Shares shall be
                  immediately terminated.

                  VII.     CONVERSION.

                           (a) Subject to the provisions for adjustment
                  hereinafter set forth, each share of Series B Preferred Stock
                  shall be convertible at any time at the option of the holder
                  thereof, upon surrender to the transfer agent for the Series B
                  Preferred Stock or the Company of the certificate or
                  certificates evidencing the shares so to be converted, into
                  one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock
                  of the Company, par value $.001 per share ("Class A Common
                  Stock").

                           (b) Subject to the provisions for adjustment
                  hereinafter set forth, the Series B Preferred Stock must be
                  converted to Class A Common Stock:

                                    (i) upon a secondary public offering by the
                  Company of Class A Common Stock at not less than $4.00 per
                  share; or

                                       5

<PAGE>

                                    (ii) if, at any time after four years from
                  the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the
                  Class A Common Stock trades above $4.00 per share for 20
                  consecutive trading days.

                           (c) The number of shares of Class A Common Stock into
                  which an issued and outstanding share of Series B Preferred
                  Stock is convertible shall be subject to adjustment from time
                  to time only as follows:

                                 (i) In the event that the Company shall at any
                  time (A) declare a dividend on the Class A Common Stock in
                  shares of its Class A Common Stock, (B) split or subdivide the
                  outstanding Class A Common Stock or (C) combine the
                  outstanding Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of
                  shares, each share of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at
                  the time of the record date for such dividend or of the
                  effective date of such split, subdivision or combination shall
                  thereafter be convertible into the aggregate number of shares
                  of Class A Common Stock which, if such share of Series B
                  Preferred Stock had been converted immediately prior to such
                  time, the holder of such share would have owned or have been
                  entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision or
                  combination. Such adjustment shall be made successively
                  whenever any event listed above shall occur.

                                (ii) No adjustment in the number of shares of
                  Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of
                  Series B Preferred Stock shall be required unless such
                  adjustment would require an increase or decrease in the
                  aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock so issuable
                  of at least 100 shares; provided that any adjustments which by
                  reason of this subsection VII(c)(ii) are not required to be
                  made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
                  subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section
                  VII(c) shall be made to the nearest cent, or to the nearest
                  hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

                               (iii) In the event of any capital reorganization
                  of the Company, or of any reclassification of the Common Stock
                  (other than a subdivision or combination of outstanding shares
                  of Class A Common Stock), or in case of the consolidation of
                  the Company with or the merger of the Company with or into any
                  other corporation or of the sale of the properties and assets
                  of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any
                  other corporation, each share of Series B Preferred Stock
                  shall after such capital reorganization, reclassification of

                  VII, for the number of shares of stock or other securities or
                  assets to which a holder of the number of shares of Class A
                  Common Stock into which a share of Series B Preferred Stock is

                  reclassification of Class A Common Stock, consolidation,
                  merger or sale) would have been entitled upon such capital
                  reorganization, reclassification of Common Stock,
                  consolidation, merger or sale; and in any such case, if
                  necessary, the provisions set forth in this Section VII with
                  respect to the rights of conversion thereafter of the Series B

                  stock or other securities or assets thereafter deliverable on
                  the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company
                  shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale,
                  unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation
                  thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company)
                  resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation
                  purchasing such assets or the appropriate corporation or
                  entity shall assume by written instrument, the obligation to
                  deliver to the holder of each share of Series B Preferred

                  accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be
                  entitled upon conversion of such Series B Preferred Stock and
                  all other obligations of the Company under this Section VII,
                  and effective provisions are made in the Articles or
                  Certificate of Incorporation of such successor or transferee
                  corporation providing for conversion privileges relating to
                  the Series B Preferred Stock equivalent to those set forth in
                  this Section VII.

                                (iv) If any question at any time arises with
                  respect to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into
                  which a share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible
                  following any adjustment pursuant to this Section VII, such
                  question shall be determined by agreement between the holders
                  of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
                  Stock and the Company or, in the absence of such an agreement
                  by an independent investment banking firm or an independent
                  appraiser (in either case the cost of which engagement will be
                  borne by the Company) reasonably acceptable to the Company and
                  the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of Series B
                  Preferred Stock and such determination shall be binding upon
                  the Company and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.

                                 (v) Anything in this Section VII to the
                  contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to
                  make such increases in the number of shares of Class A Common
                  Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred

                  discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any
                  consolidation or subdivision of the Class A Common Stock, or
                  any issuance wholly for cash of any shares of Class A Common
                  Stock at less than the current market price, or any issuance
                  wholly for cash of shares of Class A Common Stock or
                  securities which by their terms are convertible into or
                  exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock, or any
                  issuance of rights, options or warrants referred to

                  be taxable to them.

                                (vi) Upon any adjustment of the number of the
                  shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
                  shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section
                  VII, the Company shall promptly but in any event within 20

                  holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, at its address
                  appearing on the Register for the Series B Preferred Stock by
                  registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested a
                  certificate signed by its chairman, president or chief

                  Preferred Stock as so adjusted and describing in reasonable
                  detail the facts accounting for such adjustment and the method
                  of calculation used. Where appropriate, such certificate may
                  be given in advance and included as a part of the notice
                  required to be mailed under the other provisions of this
                  resolution.

                               (vii) The Company will at all times have
                  authorized, and reserve and keep available, free from
                  preemptive rights, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy
                  any obligation to issue shares of Class A Common Stock upon

                  fractional shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of
                  the Series B Preferred Stock but shall pay for any such

                  market price per share of Class A Common Stock of such share
                  multiplied by such fraction.

                                (ix) The Company will pay all taxes attributable
                  to the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon
                  conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock; provided
                  that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which

                  of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of
                  the Company that such tax has been paid.

                  VIII.    NOTICES TO HOLDERS OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK.

                  from no par value to par value, or as a result of a

                           (c) that the Company proposes to take any other

                  issuable upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
                  pursuant to Section VII;

                  or Liquidation. The failure to give the notice required by

                  legality or validity of any
