following voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions
and relative rights, as follows:

                           (1)      DIVIDENDS. The holders of the outstanding
shares of Multiple Voting Shares shall not be entitled to any preferential
dividends, but shall participate in any dividends payable on the shares of
Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share of the Corporation ("Common
Shares"), such that dividends payable on each of the Multiple Voting Shares
shall be equal to the dividends payable on each of the Common Shares
multiplied by one thousand (1,000).

                           (2)      LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.  In the event of
any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether
voluntary or involuntary, the holders of each of the outstanding shares of
Multiple Voting Shares shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the
amount payable on each of the Common Shares multiplied by one thousand
(1,000).

                           (3)      VOTING POWER.  Each share of Multiple
Voting Shares shall be entitled to one thousand (1,000) times the number of
votes as one share of Common Shares is entitled. Except as otherwise
expressly required by law or as provided herein, the holders of Multiple
Voting Shares shall not be entitled to vote as a group on any matters. To the
extent permitted by law, the holders of shares of Multiple Voting Shares and
the holders of shares of Common Shares shall vote together as a single class
on all matters including for the election of directors.

                           (4)      CONVERSION OF THE MULTIPLE VOTING SHARES.

                                            (i)      CONVERSION.  The
Multiple Voting Shares will be convertible into the Common Shares of the
Corporation in a ratio of one for one thousand (1,000) shares, subject to
adjustment as provided for herein. The outstanding Multiple Voting Shares
shall be converted, with no action on the part of the holder, upon the
earlier of (a) the consummation of a public offering registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in which the gross proceeds for the
Corporation's Common Shares issued in the offering are not less than
$5,000,000, or (b) receipt of notice from the Corporation with respect to the
conversion of the Multiple Voting Shares.

                                            (ii)     ADJUSTMENTS OF MULTIPLE
VOTING SHARES FOR CERTAIN DILUTIVE ISSUANCES, SPLITS AND COMBINATIONS.

                                                     (A)      In the event
that the Corporation shall declare or pay, without consideration, any
dividend on the Common Shares payable in any right to acquire Common Shares
for no consideration, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have made a
dividend payable in Common Shares in an amount of shares equal to one
thousand times the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such
rights to acquire Common Shares.

                                                     (B)      If the Common
Shares issuable upon conversion of the Multiple Voting Shares shall be
changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or
classes of shares, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise the conversion price of Multiple Voting Shares then in effect
shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or
reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Multiple Voting
Shares shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common
Shares which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a
number of shares of such other class or classes of Shares equivalent to the
number of shares of Common Shares that would have been subject to receipt by
the holders upon conversion of the Multiple Voting Shares immediately before
that change.

                                                     (C)      Upon the
occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the conversion price of
Multiple Voting Shares, the Corporation shall promptly compute such
adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare
and furnish to each holder of such Multiple Voting Shares a certificate
executed by the president and secretary setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment. The Corporation shall, upon written request at any time of any
holder of Multiple Voting Shares, furnish or cause to be furnished to such
holder a certificate setting forth the number or shares of Common Shares
which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of
Multiple Voting Shares.

                                            (iii)    LOST OR STOLEN
CERTIFICATES. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any Multiple Voting Shares certificate(s), and
(in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or security
satisfactory to the Corporation, and upon the cancellation of the Multiple
Voting Shares certificate(s), if mutilated, the Corporation shall execute and
deliver new certificates for Multiple Voting Shares of like tenure and date.
However, the Corporation shall not be obligated to reissue such lost or
stolen certificates for shares of Multiple Voting Shares if the holder
contemporaneously requests the Corporation to convert such Multiple Voting
Shares into Common Shares.

                                            (iv)     CASH IN LIEU OF
FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Corporation may, if it so elects, issue fractional
shares of Common Shares upon the conversion of Multiple Voting Shares. If the
Corporation does not elect to issue fractional shares, the Corporation shall
pay to the holder of the Multiple Voting Shares which were converted a cash
adjustment in respect of such fractional shares in an amount equal to the
same fraction of the market price per share of the Common Shares (as
determined in a reasonable manner prescribed by the Board of Directors) at
the close of business on the Conversion Date. The determination as to whether
any fractional shares are issuable shall be based upon the total number of
shares of Multiple Voting Shares being converted at any one time by any
holder thereof, not upon each share of Multiple Voting Shares being converted.

                                             (v)     GENERAL. Except as may
be provided herein, for purposes of notice and any other matter, the
Corporation shall treat holders of Multiple Voting Shares in all respects in
the same manner in which it treats holders of the Common Shares."

     STOCK.

following dissolution (and liquidation of assets and payment of creditors) may
