                                    ARTICLE I

                                     OFFICES


     SECTION 1. PRINCIPAL OFFICES. 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 this state, and the corporation has one or more business offices in this
state, the Board of Directors shall fix and designate a principal business
office in the State of California.

     SECTION 2. OTHER OFFICES. The Board of Directors may at any time establish
branch or subordinate offices at any place or places.

                                   ARTICLE II

                            MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

     SECTION 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 or by the written consent of all persons entitled to vote thereat,
given either before or after the meeting and filed with the Secretary of the
corporation. In the absence of any such designation, shareholders' meetings
shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation.

     SECTION 2. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held
on the 15th day of May in each year at 10:00 a.m. or such other date or such
other time as may be fixed by the Board; provided, however, if this day falls on
a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the meeting shall be held at the same
time and place on the next succeeding full business day. At this meeting,
directors shall be elected, and any other proper business may be transacted
which is within the powers of the shareholders.

     SECTION 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 President, or by one or more shareholders holding shares in the
aggregate entitled to cast not fewer than 10% of the votes at that meeting.

     If a special meeting is called by any person or persons entitled to call a
special meeting of the shareholders other than the Board of Directors, 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 President, any Vice President, or
the Secretary of the corporation. The officer receiving the request shall cause

<PAGE>


notice to be promptly given to the shareholders entitled to vote, in accordance
with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Article II, that a meeting will
be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, not
fewer than forty-five (45) days 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, the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the
notice. Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 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.

     SECTION 4. NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS. All notices of meetings of
shareholders shall be sent or otherwise given to each shareholder entitled to
vote thereat in accordance with Section 5 of this Article II not fewer than ten
(10) 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 and no
other business 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 Section 601(f) of the Corporations Code of California, 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, management 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, (ii)
an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, pursuant to Section 902 of that
Code, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation, pursuant to Section 1201 of
that Code, (iv) a voluntary dissolution of the corporation, pursuant to Section
1900 of that Code, or (v) a distribution in dissolution other than in accordance
with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, pursuant to Section 2007 of
that Code, the notice shall also state the general nature of that proposal.

     SECTION 5. MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE. Notice of any
meeting of shareholders shall be given either personally or by first-class mail
or telegraphic or other written communication, charges prepaid, 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
first-class 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, all
future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without
further mailing if these 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 year from the date of the giving of the notice.

<PAGE>


     An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any
shareholders' meeting shall be executed by the Secretary, Assistant Secretary,
or any transfer agent of the corporation giving the notice, and shall be filed
and maintained in the minute book of the corporation.

     SECTION 6. QUORUM. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a
majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. 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.

     SECTION 7. ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE THEREOF. Any shareholders' meeting,
annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from
time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at that
meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other
business may be transacted at that meeting, except as provided in Section 6 of
this Article II.

     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 a meeting at which the adjournment is taken,
unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, or unless the
adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days from the date set for the
original meeting, in which case the Board of Directors shall set a new record
date. If the adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days, or if a new
record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, then 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 4 and 5
of this Article II. At any adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any
business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

     SECTION 8. VOTING. The shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 11
of this Article II, subject to the provisions of Section 702 to 704, inclusive,
of the Corporations Code of California (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
before the voting has begun. On any matter other than elections of directors,
any shareholder may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain
from voting the remaining shares or 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 that the shareholder is entitled to
vote. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares
represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter (other than the
election of directors) shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of
a greater number or voting by classes is required by California General
Corporation Law or by the Articles of Incorporation.

<PAGE>


     At a shareholders' meeting at which directors are to be elected, no
shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for any one or more
candidates a number of votes greater than the number of the shareholder's
shares) unless the candidate or candidates' names have been placed in nomination
prior to commencement of the voting and a 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 and give 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 entitled, or distribute 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
votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be elected.

     SECTION 9. WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT SHAREHOLDERS. The
transactions of any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, however
called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be 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 a holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes.
The waiver of notice or consent 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 4 of this Article II,
the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of the proposal.
All such waivers, consents or 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 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, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of
any right to object to the consideration of matters required by law to be
included in the notice of the meeting but not so included if that objection is
expressly made at the meeting.

     SECTION 10. 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 fewer 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. 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; provided
however, that a director may be elected at any time to fill a vacancy on the
Board of Directors, other than a vacancy created by removal, that 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 filed with the Secretary of the corporation and shall be

<PAGE>


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 corporation before consents of the
number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with
the Secretary of the corporation.

     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 shall not have been received, the Secretary shall give prompt
notice of the corporate action approved by the shareholders without a meeting,
to those shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. This
notice shall be given in the manner specified in Section 5 of this Article II.
In the case of approval of (i) contracts or transactions in which a director has
a direct or indirect financial interest, pursuant to Section 310 of the
Corporations Code of California, (ii) indemnification of agents of the
corporation, pursuant to Section 317 of that Code, (iii) a reorganization of the
corporation, pursuant to Section 1201 of that Code, and (iv) a distribution in
dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred
shares, pursuant to Section 2007 of that Code, the notice shall be given at
least ten (10) days before the consummation of any action authorized by that
approval.

     SECTION 11. RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDER NOTICE, VOTING AND GIVING CONSENTS.
For the purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of any
meeting or to vote 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 fewer 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 this 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 California General
Corporation Law.

         If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date:

     (a) The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice 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.

     (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 of the 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 (60) day before the date of such other action,
whichever is later.

     SECTION 12. PROXIES. Every person entitled to vote for directors or on any
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

<PAGE>


placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewritten, 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) revoked by the person executing it,
before the vote pursuant to that proxy, by a writing delivered to the
corporation stating that the proxy is revoked, or by a subsequent proxy executed
by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the person executing
the proxy; 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 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 Corporation Code of California.

     SECTION 13. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION. Before any meeting of shareholders, the
Board of Directors may appoint any persons other than nominees for office to act
as inspectors of election at the meeting or its adjournment. If no inspectors of
election are so appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and on the request
of any shareholder or a shareholder's proxy shall, appoint inspectors of
election at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or
three (3). If inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or
more shareholders or proxies, 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, 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.

     These inspectors shall:

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

          (b) Receive votes, ballots, or consents:

          (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.

     If there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate
of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate
of all.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                    DIRECTORS

     SECTION 1. POWERS. Subject to the provisions of the California General
Corporation Law 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. Without prejudice to these general powers, and subject to
the same limitations, the directors shall have the power to:

          (a) Select and remove all officers, agents, and employees of the
corporation; prescribe any powers and duties for them that are consistent with
law, with the Articles of Incorporation, and with these bylaws; fix their
compensation; and require from them security for faithful service.

          (b) Change the principal executive office or the principal business
office in the State of California from one location to another; cause the
corporation to be qualified to do business in any other state, territory,
dependency, or country and conduct business within or without the State of
California; and designate any place within or without the State of California
for the holding of any shareholders' meeting, or meetings, including annual
meetings.

          (c) Adopt, make, and use a corporate seal; prescribe the forms of
certificates of stock; and alter the form of the seal and certificates.

          (d) Authorize the issuance of shares of stock of the corporation on
any lawful terms and for such consideration as may be lawful.

          (e) Borrow money and incur indebtedness on behalf of the corporation,
and cause to be executed and delivered for the corporation's purposes, in the
corporate name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds of trust, mortgages,
pledges, hypothecations, and other evidences of debt and securities.

          (f) Conduct, manage and control the affairs and business of the
corporation and to make such rules and regulations therefor not inconsistent
with law, or with the Articles or these bylaws, as they may deem best.

     SECTION 2. NUMBER AND QUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS. The authorized number of
directors shall be a minimum of five (5) and a maximum of nine (9) until changed
by a duly adopted amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or by an amendment
to this bylaw duly adopted by the shareholders; provided, however, that an
amendment reducing the number of directors to a number fewer 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 action by written consent, are equal to
more than 16-2/3% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

<PAGE>


     SECTION 3. ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS. Directors shall be
elected at each annual meeting of the 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 terms for which elected and until
a successor has been elected and qualified.

     SECTION 4. VACANCIES. Except for a vacancy created by the removal of a
director, vacancies in the Board of Directors may be filled by approval of the
Board, or, if the number of directors then in office is less than a quorum, by
(a) the unanimous written consent of the directors then in office, (b) the
affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, at a meeting held
pursuant to notice or waivers of notice, or (c) a sole remaining director. 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 vote of a majority
of the shares entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a
quorum is present, or by the unanimous written consent of all of the outstanding
shares entitled to vote for the election of directors. 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
in the event of the death, resignation, or removal of any director, or 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,
or if the authorized number of directors is increased, or 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 voted for 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 by
written consent shall require the consent of a majority of the outstanding
shares entitled to vote.

     Any director may resign effective on giving written notice to the Chairman
of the Board, the President, 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.

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

     SECTION 5. PLACE OF MEETING AND 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. Special meetings of the board
shall be held at any place within or outside the State of California that has
been designated in the notice of the meeting or, if not stated in the notice or
there is no notice, at the principal executive office of the corporation. Any
meeting, regular or special, may be held by conference telephone, or similar
communication equipment, so long as all directors participating in the meeting
can hear one another, and all such directors shall be deemed to be present in
person at the meeting.

<PAGE>


     SECTION 6. ANNUAL MEETING. Immediately following each annual meeting of
shareholders, the Board of Directors shall hold a regular meeting for the
purpose of organization, any desired election of officers, and the transaction
of other business. Notice of this meeting shall not be required.

     SECTION 7. OTHER REGULAR MEETINGS. Other regular meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held without call at such time and place as shall from time
to time be fixed by the Board of Directors. Such regular meetings may be held
without notice.

     SECTION 8. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Board of Directors for
any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board
or the President or any Vice President or the Secretary or any two directors.

     Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered
personally or by telephone to each director or sent by first-class mail or
telegrams, charges prepaid, addressed to each director at that director's
address as it is shown on the records of the corporation. In case the notice is
mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four (4) days
before the time of the holding of the meeting. In case the notice is delivered
personally or by telephone or telegram, it shall be delivered personally or by
telephone or to the telegraph company at least forty-eight (48) hours before the
time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice given personally or by
telephone may be communicated either to the director or to a person at the
office of the director who the person giving the notice has reason to believe
will promptly communicate it to the director. The notice need not specify the
purpose of the meeting nor the place if the meeting is to be held at the
principal executive office of the corporation.

     SECTION 9. QUORUM. A majority of the authorized number of directors shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except to adjourn as
provided in Section 11 of this Article III. Every act or decision done or made
by a majority of the directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum
is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board of Directors, subject to
the provisions of Section 310 of the Corporations Code of California (as to
approval of contracts or transactions in which a director has a direct or
indirect material financial interest), Section 311 of that Code (as to
appointment of committees), and Section 317(e) of that Code (as to
indemnification of directors). A meeting at which a quorum is initially present
may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors,
if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum
for that meeting.

     SECTION 10. WAIVER OF NOTICE. The transaction of any meeting of the Board
of Directors, however called and noticed or wherever held, shall be as valid as
though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is
present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors not
present signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting or an
approval of the minutes. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify the
purpose of the meeting. All such waivers, consents, and approvals shall be filed
with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Notice
of a meeting shall also be deemed given to any director who attends the meeting
without protesting before or at its commencement, the lack of notice to that
director.

<PAGE>


     SECTION 11. ADJOURNMENT. A majority of the directors present, whether or
not constituting a quorum, may adjourn any meeting to another time and place.

     SECTION 12. NOTICE OF ADJOURNMENT. Notice of the time and place of holding
an adjourned meeting need not be given, unless the meeting is adjourned for more
than twenty-four hours, in which case notice of the time and place shall be
given before the time of the adjourned meeting, in the manner specified in
Section 8 of this Article III, to the directors who were not present at the time
of the adjournment.

     SECTION 13. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required or permitted to be
taken by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, if all members
of the board shall individually or collectively consent in writing to that
action. Such action by written consent shall have the same force and effect as a
unanimous vote of the Board of Directors. Such written consent or consents shall
be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board.

     SECTION 14. FEES AND COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS. Directors and members of
committees may receive such compensation, if any, for their services, and such
reimbursement of expenses, as may be fixed or determined by resolution of the
Board of Directors. This Section 14 shall not be construed to preclude any
director from servicing the corporation in any other capacity as an officer,
agent, employee, or otherwise, and receiving compensation for those services.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                   COMMITTEES

     SECTION 1. COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS. The Board of Directors may, by
resolution adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors,
designate one or more committees, each consisting of two or more directors, to
serve at the pleasure of the board. The board may designate one or more
directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent
member at any meeting of the committee. Any committee, to the extent provided in
the resolution of the board, shall have all the authority of the board, except
with respect to:

          (a) the approval of any action which, under the General Corporation
Law of California, also requires shareholders' approval or approval of the
outstanding shares;

          (b) the filling of vacancies on the Board of Directors or in any
committee;

          (c) the fixing of compensation of the directors for serving on the
board or on any committee;

          (d) the amendment or repeal of bylaws or the adoption of new bylaws;

<PAGE>


          (e) the amendment or repeal of any resolution of the Board of
Directors which by its express terms is not so amendable or repealable;

          (f) a distribution to the shareholders of the corporation, except at a
rate or in a periodic amount or within a price range determined by the Board of

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                            GENERAL CORPORATE MATTERS

     SECTION 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 or entitled to
exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful action (other than action by
shareholders by written consent 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, and in that case only shareholders of record on the date
so fixed are entitled to receive the dividend, distribution, or allotment of
rights or to exercise the 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 California General Corporation Law.

     If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date, 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.

     SECTION 2. CHECKS, DRAFTS, EVIDENCES OF INDEBTEDNESS. All checks, drafts,
or other orders for payment of money, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness,
issued in the name of or payable to the corporation, shall be signed or endorsed
by such person or persons and in such manner as from time to time, shall be
determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.

     SECTION 3. CORPORATE CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS; HOW EXECUTED. The Board of
Directors, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may authorize any
officer or officers, agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any
instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation, and this authority
may be general or confined to specific instances; and, unless so authorized or
ratified by the Board of Directors or within the agency power of an officer, no

<PAGE>


officer, agent, or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the
corporation by any contract of engagement or to pledge its credit or to render
it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

     SECTION 4. CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES. A certificate or certificates for
shares of the capital stock of the corporation shall be issued to each
shareholder when any of these shares are fully paid, and the Board of Directors
may authorize the issuance of certificates or shares as partly paid provided
that these certificates shall state the amount of the consideration to be paid
for them and the amount paid. All certificates shall be signed in the name of
the corporation by the Chairman of the Board or Vice Chairman of the Board or
the President or Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer or an
Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or any 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 by facsimile. In case any
officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile
signature has been placed on a certificate shall have ceased 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.

     SECTION 5. LOST CERTIFICATES. Except as provided in this Section 5, no new
certificates for shares shall be issued to replace an old 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 a
replacement certificate on such terms and conditions as the board may require,
including provision for 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.

     SECTION 6. REPRESENTATION OF SHARES OF OTHER CORPORATIONS. The Chairman of
the Board, the President, or any Vice President, or any other person authorized
by resolution of the Board of Directors or by any of the foregoing designated
officers, is authorized to vote on behalf of the corporation any and all shares
of any other corporation or corporations, foreign or domestic, standing in the
name of the corporation. The authority granted to these officers to vote or
represent on behalf of the corporation any and all shares held by the
corporation in any other corporation or corporations may be exercised by any of
these officers in person or by any person authorized to do so by a proxy duly
executed by these officers.

     SECTION 7. CONSTRUCTION AND DEFINITIONS. Unless the context requires
otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction and definitions in the
California General Corporation Law 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.

     SECTION 1. AMENDMENT BY SHAREHOLDERS. 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 the corporation set forth the number of
authorized directors of the corporation, the authorized number of directors may
be changed only by an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation.

shareholders as provided in Section 1 of this Article IX, to adopt, amend, or
repeal bylaws, bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the Board of

specifying or changing the fixed number of directors or the maximum or minimum
number or changing from a fixed to a variable board or vice versa may only be
adopted by approval of the outstanding shares.
