         any other conditions which may be required by the Nevada Revised
         Statutes, then, but not otherwise, the holders of Common Stock shall be

         the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all of the remaining
         assets of the Corporation, tangible and intangible, of whatever kind
         available for distribution to stockholders, ratably in proportion to
         the number of shares of Common Stock held by each without distinction
         as to series; and

                  (iii) Except as may otherwise be required by law or this

         their votes for any purpose.

                  (i) The board of directors of the Corporation shall have
         authority to authorize the issuance, from time to time without any vote
         or other action by the stockholders, of any or all shares of the
         Corporation of any class at any time authorized, and any securities
         convertible into or exchangeable for such shares, in each case to such
         persons and for such consideration and on such terms as the board of
         directors from time to time in its discretion lawfully may determine;
         provided, however, that the consideration for the issuance of shares of
         stock of the Corporation having par value shall not be less than such

         notwithstanding, any and all right, title, interest, and claim in and
         to any dividends declared or other distributions made by the
         Corporation, whether in cash, stock, or otherwise, which are unclaimed
         by the stockholder entitled thereto for a period of six years after the
         close of business on the payment date, shall be and be deemed to be
         extinguished and abandoned; and such unclaimed dividends or other
         distributions in the possession of the Corporation, its transfer
         agents, or other agents or depositories, shall at such time become the
         absolute property of the Corporation, free and clear of any and all
