         1. PRELIMINARY

                  1.1 The preamble hereto shall form an integral part hereof as
if recited herein at length.

                  1.2 The parties acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between the parties concerning the employment of the
EXECUTIVE by the EMPLOYER during the term hereof and supersedes any and all
prior negotiations, agreements or understandings with respect thereto, whether
written or otherwise.

         2. NATURE OF SERVICES

                  2.1 The EMPLOYER hereby engages and hires the EXECUTIVE to be
its President and Chief Executive Officer during the term of this Agreement and
the EXECUTIVE hereby accepts and agrees to such engagement and employment. In
addition, the EXECUTIVE hereby agrees to serve as a director (and Chairman of
the Board of Directors of the EMPLOYER should he be elected as such by the
shareholders(s) of the EMPLOYER).

                  2.2 During the term of employment, the EXECUTIVE shall devote
himself to the business of the EMPLOYER and shall not be employed or engaged in
any capacity in promoting, undertaking or carrying on any other business,
without the prior written approval of the EMPLOYER. The EMPLOYER hereby

<PAGE>

acknowledges that the EXECUTIVE is employed by HENRY BIRKS & SONS INC. ("BIRKS")
as its President and Chief Executive Officer and that the EXECUTIVE also serves
as a member of the Board of Directors of Brazilian Emeralds Inc., with all of
the duties commensurate with such positions.

                  2.3 The EXECUTIVE shall perform such executive duties and have
such responsibilities as are consistent with his capacity as President and Chief
Executive Officer, as well as those duties and responsibilities which the Board
of Directors of the EMPLOYER may delegate to the EXECUTIVE from time to time.

                  2.4 The EXECUTIVE shall have control over the organization of
his work and shall be responsible, in his best judgment, for determining the
means and methods for performing his services hereunder. The EXECUTIVE shall
have, subject to the directions of the Board of Directors, full power and
authority to manage the business and affairs of the EMPLOYER, including power
and authority to enter into contracts, engagements or commitments of every
nature or kind in the ordinary course of business in the name of or on behalf of
the EMPLOYER and to engage and employ and to dismiss all managers and other
employees of the EMPLOYER.

                  2.5 The EXECUTIVE shall perform his duties as President and
Chief Executive Officer diligently and conscientiously and loyally and shall use
his best efforts to promote the interests of the EMPLOYER.

         3. TERM

                  3.1 The term of this Agreement and the continued employment of
the EXECUTIVE (the "Term") shall begin on October 1, 2002 (the "Commencement
Date") and shall continue until March 31, 2005 (the "Termination Date").

                  3.2 In the event that the EMPLOYER elects not to renew this
agreement or continue the employment of the EXECUTIVE after the Termination
Date, the EMPLOYER shall send to the EXECUTIVE, on or before March 31, 2004, a
written notice of such desire to terminate. In the event that the EMPLOYER
terminates the relationship and should the EXECUTIVE be unable to find another
suitable employment position commencing April 1, 2005, then the EMPLOYER shall
compensate the EXECUTIVE by continuing to pay to the EXECUTIVE the same base
salary as that which was payable to him pursuant to Section 4.1 during the
period terminating March 31, 2005, the whole for the period in which the
EXECUTIVE is unable to find a suitable position, to a maximum of twelve (12)
months. During such period, the EXECUTIVE shall also be entitled to receive a
monthly bonus determined as the average monthly bonus which was paid to him
during his period of employment and the same benefits as provided in Section
4.4. Should the EMPLOYER so desire, however, the EXECUTIVE shall continue to
render services to the EMPLOYER during the period in which such additional
compensation is paid, it being understood that EXECUTIVE would spend certain of
such time actively looking for alternate employment. Notwithstanding the
generality of the foregoing, in the event that the EXECUTIVE makes a diligent
attempt to negotiate the renewal of this Agreement prior to the end of March,
2004, but the EMPLOYER has neither finalized its decision with respect thereto
nor provided the EXECUTIVE with a written notice of termination, then the
maximum period within which the additional compensation hereunder shall be paid,
in the event that the EMPLOYER subsequently determines not to renew this
Agreement, shall be extended by one month for each month between March 31, 2004
and the date upon which the written notice of termination is ultimately
delivered to the EXECUTIVE.

         4. REMUNERATION AND BENEFITS

                  4.1 In consideration of the services to be rendered pursuant
to this Agreement, the EMPLOYER shall pay to the EXECUTIVE an annual base salary
of $US 500,000, payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices
established by the EMPLOYER. The EXECUTIVE shall be eligible to receive annual
base salary increases as determined by the Board of Directors (or a committee

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

thereof), in its sole discretion based upon the EXECUTIVE's performance. The
base salary as so increased shall be considered the new base salary for all
purposes of this Agreement.

                  4.2 For each fiscal year of the EMPLOYER that ends during the
Term, the EXECUTIVE shall be entitled to receive an annual cash bonus based upon
his achievement of performance goals, as established in advance by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the EMPLOYER after
consultation with the EXECUTIVE. Such bonus shall be determined in accordance
with the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A. If such performance
criteria are met, the target bonus shall be an amount of $55,000 for the fiscal
year ending January 31, 2003, forty percent (40%) of the base salary for the
fiscal year terminating January 31, 2004 and sixty percent (60%) of the base
salary for the fiscal year terminating January 31, 2005 but shall in each case
not be more than 150% of the target bonus. The EMPLOYER shall pay the entire
annual bonus (if any) that is payable with respect to a fiscal year in a lump
sum cash payment as soon as practicable after the Compensation Committee can
determine whether the performance goals have been achieved based on the
EMPLOYER's audited financial results for such year but no later than the earlier
of 90 days after such fiscal year end or the date on which the audited financial
statements are completed and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For example, in the fiscal year terminating January 31, 2004, should the
EXECUTIVE's base salary be $500,000 per annum, the target bonus would be
$200,000 and the maximum bonus would be $300,000.

                  4.3 The EXECUTIVE shall be entitled to five (5) weeks paid
vacation leave in each calendar year throughout the Term. The EXECUTIVE shall be
entitled to carry forward any unused vacation time for one (1) calendar year,
which shall accrue in his favour until used.

                  4.4 Provided that such benefits are not a duplication of the
benefits and coverages already provided to the EXECUTIVE by BIRKS, the EXECUTIVE
shall be eligible for comprehensive health and dental insurance in such amounts
as is available to all other executives of the EMPLOYER, as well as all benefits
under such pension plans, benefit plans and arrangements, and other insurance
coverages maintained for its senior executives.

                  4.5 The EMPLOYER shall provide the EXECUTIVE with adequate
"Directors and Officers" liability insurance coverage, commensurate with
existing coverage and industry standards. In this regard, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the EMPLOYER will indemnify EXECUTIVE and hold him harmless
from all claims arising from any action taken by him, or his failure to act,
within the scope of his authority as an officer of the EMPLOYER and/or its
subsidiaries, unless the action or omission is fraudulent or constitutes willful
misconduct or gross negligence.

                  4.6 Recognizing the requirement for entertainment of
suppliers, special customers and others by the EXECUTIVE, the EXECUTIVE shall be
reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred by him in the fulfilment of his
duties hereunder, the whole upon the presentation of appropriate receipts or
vouchers.

                  4.7 The EXECUTIVE shall have access to and be entitled to the
non-exclusive use of a company car and company apartment (which rent must be
similar to the EMPLOYER's existing company apartment) when in Florida to perform
his duties at the head office of the EMPLOYER. While such use shall be
non-exclusive, the EXECUTIVE shall be entitled to such use on a priority basis.

         5. STOCK OPTIONS

                  5.1 The EMPLOYER shall grant to the EXECUTIVE on the
Commencement Date stock options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the EMPLOYER's
common stock which shall approximate 1.375% of the common stock of the EMPLOYER
on a fully diluted basis on the date of the grant with an exercise price per
share equal to the fair market value of a share on the date of the grant of such
option. The options will become exercisable as to one-third (1/3) of the total
options granted on each of the following dates: January 31, 2003, January 31,

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

2004 and January 31, 2005. Once exercisable, the options will remain exercisable
until the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of the
option or (ii) the second anniversary of the termination of employment with the
EMPLOYER for any reason, except that if employment is terminated for Cause (as
defined below), the options will terminate on the EXECUTIVE's last day of
employment with the EMPLOYER. The options will be granted pursuant to the
EMPLOYER's 1991 Stock Option Plan, and, subject to the above, shall be subject
to the terms of such plan. Shares issuable under such plan have been duly
registered.

                           duties for the EMPLOYER (other than any such failure
                           resulting from the EXECUTIVE's incapacity due to
                           physical or mental illness, or any such actual or
                           anticipated failure after the EXECUTIVE announces his
                           intention to resign for Good Reason), and such
                           failure is not cured by the EXECUTIVE within thirty
                           (30) days from the date the EMPLOYER notifies the
                           EXECUTIVE thereof in writing, (ii) the willful
                           engaging by the EXECUTIVE in misconduct which is
                           financially injurious to the EMPLOYER, or (iii) the
                           EXECUTIVE's conviction or a pleading of guilty or

                           omitted to be done, by him not in good faith and
                           without reasonable belief that his action or omission

                           any "Person" as such term is used in Section 13(d)

                           corporation or entity, OTHER THAN a merger or
                           consolidation which would result in the voting
                           securities of the EMPLOYER outstanding immediately
                           prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
                           remaining outstanding or by being converted into
                           voting securities of the surviving entity) more than
                           80% of the combined voting power of the voting
                           securities of the EMPLOYER or such surviving entity
                           outstanding immediately after such merger or
                           consolidation; (iii) the shareholders of the EMPLOYER

                           reduced to 30% or less.

                           Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a
                           Change of Control be deemed to have occurred, with

                           a purchasing group which consummates a transaction
                           causing a Change in Control. The EXECUTIVE shall be
                           deemed "part of a purchasing group" for purposes of
                           the preceding sentence if the EXECUTIVE is a direct

                           beneficiaries are persons described in clauses (i)

                           described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii). An

                           ownership interests of said entity are directly owned

                  (d)      "Disability" shall mean the EXECUTIVE'S inability to
                           perform his duties by reason of mental or physical

                           in any three-hundred sixty-five (365) day period. In
                           the event of a dispute as to whether the EXECUTIVE is
                           disabled within the meaning hereof, either party may
                           from time to time request a medical examination of
                           the EXECUTIVE by a doctor appointed by the Chief of
                           Staff of a hospital selected by mutual agreement of
                           the parties, or as the parties may otherwise agree,
                           and the written medical opinion of such doctor shall
                           be conclusive and binding upon the parties as to
                           whether the EXECUTIVE has become disabled and the
                           date when such disability arose. The cost of any such
                           medical examination shall be borne by the EMPLOYER.

                  (e)      "Good Reason" shall mean, without the EXECUTIVE's
                           written consent, (i) the EMPLOYER changes the
                           EXECUTIVE's status, title or position as an officer
                           of the EMPLOYER and such change represents a material
                           reduction in such status, title or position conferred
                           hereunder, and/or (ii) the EMPLOYER materially
                           breaches any material provision of this Agreement
                           (including, without limitation, a reduction in the
                           EXECUTIVE's base salary), and/or (iii) there is a
                           reduction in the aggregate of the level of benefits
                           available to the EXECUTIVE pursuant to Section 4.4
                           and such change, breach or reduction is not cured by
                           the EMPLOYER within thirty (30) days from the date
                           EXECUTIVE delivers a Notice of Termination for Good
                           Reason. Such "Notice of Termination for Good Reason"
                           shall include the specific section of this Agreement
                           which was relied upon and the reason that the
                           EMPLOYER's act or failure to act has given rise to
                           his termination for Good Reason.

                  6.2 TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR RESIGNATION WITH GOOD REASON

                           the employment of the EXECUTIVE without Cause (for
                           any reason other than by death or Disability) or (ii)
                           the resignation of the EXECUTIVE from the EMPLOYER
                           within 30 days of an event constituting Good Reason,
                           the EMPLOYER shall pay or provide to the EXECUTIVE
                           the following:

                  (i)      any earned and accrued but unpaid installment of base
                           salary through the date of the EXECUTIVE's
                           resignation or termination at the rate in effect
                           immediately prior to such resignation or termination
                           (or, if greater, immediately prior to the occurrence
                           of an event that constitutes Good Reason) and all
                           other unpaid amounts to which the EXECUTIVE is
                           entitled as of such date under any compensation plan
                           or program of the EMPLOYER (including payment for any
                           vacation time not taken during the year in which
                           termination occurs), such payments to be made in a
                           lump sum within 15 days following the date of
                           resignation or termination; and

                  (ii)     the amount the EXECUTIVE would have been entitled to
                           pursuant to Section 4.2, had EXECUTIVE remained
                           employed through the end of the fiscal year in which
                           termination occurs, multiplied by a fraction, the
                           numerator of which is the number of days from the
                           beginning of such fiscal year to the date of
                           termination, and the denominator of which is 365,
                           such amount to be paid no later than the time annual
                           bonuses are paid to other executives of the EMPLOYER;

                           EXECUTIVE for periods subsequent to his date of
                           resignation or termination, an amount equal to the
                           EXECUTIVE's base salary in effect immediately prior
                           to the EXECUTIVE's resignation or termination (or, if
                           greater, immediately prior to the occurrence of an
                           event that constitutes Good Reason) for the period
                           (the "Period") that is the unexpired portion of the
                           Term plus up to a maximum of twelve (12) months being
                           the period in which the EXECUTIVE is unable to find
                           another suitable employment position,. The payment
                           for the unexpired portion of the term shall be made
                           in a lump sum within 15 days following the date of
                           the EXECUTIVE's resignation or termination while the
                           other portion shall be payable to the EXECUTIVE in
                           the same manner as his base salary is paid hereunder;
                           and

                  (iv)     a lump sum payment equal to the average annual bonus
                           paid to the EXECUTIVE for any of the 3 fiscal years
                           ending prior to date of the EXECUTIVE's resignation
                           or termination (which bonus for the fiscal year
                           ending January 31, 2003 shall be multiplied by 3 as
                           same covers a four month period of employment),
                           multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
                           the number of days in the Period and the denominator
                           of which is 365, such amount, as can be determined,
                           to be paid within 15 days of such termination and any
                           additional amount to be paid within 15 days of
                           determination; and

                  (v)      the EMPLOYER shall maintain in full force and effect
                           for the Period, all financial planning, health and
                           dental programs (not life or disability programs) in
                           which the EXECUTIVE was entitled to participate
                           either immediately prior to the EXECUTIVE's
                           resignation or termination or immediately prior to
                           the occurrence of an event that constitutes Good
                           Reason, provided that the EXECUTIVE's continued
                           participation is possible under the general terms and
                           provisions of such plans and programs. Additionally,
                           the EXECUTIVE shall be paid a lump sum cash payment
                           of $24,000 in full satisfaction of participation in
                           all disability and life insurance programs, which
                           participation (other than receipt of benefits) shall
                           not continue following the EXECUTIVE's termination of
                           employment.

                  6.3 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE, DISABILITY, DEATH OR RESIGNATION
WITHOUT GOOD REASON. In the event of the EXECUTIVE's termination of employment
for Cause, death or Disability or his resignation without Good Reason, only the
amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 6.2 shall be payable to the
EXECUTIVE.

                  6.4 TERMINATION AFTER A CHANGE IN CONTROL. If a termination
without Cause or a termination for Good Reason occurs within two years of a
Change in Control, then the EXECUTIVE shall receive the payments required by
Section 6.2 except as follows:

                  (i)      for purposes of Sections 6.2 (iii), (iv) and (v), the
                           Period shall be the greater of two (2) years, on the
                           one hand, and the unexpired portion of the Term plus
                           one (1) year, on the other; and

                  (ii)     EXECUTIVE also shall receive an amount that, on an
                           after-tax basis (including federal income and excise
                           taxes, and state and local income taxes) equals the
                           excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code upon
                           the EXECUTIVE by reason of amounts payable under this
                           Section 6.4 (including this clause (ii)), as well as
                           amounts payable outside of this Agreement by the
                           EMPLOYER that are described in Section 280G(b) (2)
                           (A) (I) of the Code. For purposes of this clause, the
                           EXECUTIVE shall be deemed to pay federal, state and
                           local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of
                           taxation.

                  6.5 WITHHOLDING. The EMPLOYER shall have the right to deduct
from any amounts payable under this Agreement an amount necessary to satisfy its
obligation, under applicable laws, to withhold income or other taxes of the
EXECUTIVE attributable to payments made hereunder.

                  6.6 NO OBLIGATION TO MITIGATE DAMAGES; NO EFFECT ON OTHER
CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS. The EXECUTIVE shall not be required to mitigate damages or
the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under
this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by the EXECUTIVE as the
result of employment by another employer after the date of resignation or
termination, or, by any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which the EMPLOYER may have against the EXECUTIVE. The provisions of this
Agreement, and any payment provided for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts
otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the EXECUTIVE's existing rights, or
rights the EXECUTIVE may acquire in the future, under any EXECUTIVE benefit
plan, incentive plan, employment agreement or other contract, plan or
arrangement.

                  6.7 NON-APPLICABILITY. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections
6.2 and 3.2, the parties agree that any payments to be made to the EXECUTIVE for
termination for any reason or non-renewal after the expiration of the Term,
other than as set out in Section 6.2 (i) and (ii), shall not be payable in the
event that continued employment by BIRKS and the reinstatement as a consultant
for Iniziativa, S.A. is offered and available to the EXECUTIVE.

         7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

                  7.1 For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Confidential
Information" shall mean, but shall not be limited to, any technical or
non-technical data, budgets, business plans, pricing policies, financial records

not include any information and knowledge which the EXECUTIVE himself possessed
at the commencement of his employment with the EMPLOYER.

                  7.2 Unless otherwise required by law or expressly authorized
in writing by the EMPLOYER, the EXECUTIVE shall not, at any time during or after
his employment by the EMPLOYER, directly or indirectly, in any capacity
whatsoever, except in connection with services to be performed hereunder,

                  8.1 NON-COMPETITION. EXECUTIVE covenants and agrees that at no
time (i) during the Term nor (ii) during the period immediately following a
termination of employment during which the EXECUTIVE continues to receive
payments from the EMPLOYER pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 6.2(iii) up to a maximum
of twelve (12) months (provided EXECUTIVE has received all amounts due to him
hereunder) nor (iii) in the event of a voluntary departure of the EXECUTIVE from
his employment, during the twelve (12) month period immediately following the

                           or the EXECUTIVE's interpretation of the provisions
                           of this Agreement relating to the EXECUTIVE's
                           entitlements pursuant to Section 6.2 (regardless of

violation of any contract or agreement, whether written or oral, with any other

     1.01. REFERENCES.  Any reference herein made to law will be deemed to refer
to the law of the  State of  Arizona,  including  any  applicable  provision  or
provisions of Chapters 1-17 and Chapter 23 of Title 10, Arizona Revised Statutes
(or its successor), as at any given time in effect. Any reference herein made to
the Articles will be deemed to refer to the  applicable  provision or provisions
of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company,  and all amendments thereto, as
at any  given  time  on file  with  the  Arizona  Corporation  Commission  (this
reference  to that  Commission  being  intended to include any  successor to the
incorporating  and related  functions  being performed by that Commission at the
date of the initial adoption of these Bylaws).

     1.02. SENIORITY. Except as indicated in Part X of these Bylaws, the law and
the Articles (in that order of  precedence)  will in all respects be  considered
senior and superior to these Bylaws,  with any  inconsistency  to be resolved in
favor of the law and the Articles (in that order of precedence),  and with these
Bylaws to be deemed  automatically  amended from time to time to  eliminate  any
such inconsistency which may then exist.

     1.03.  SHAREHOLDERS  OF RECORD.  Except as  otherwise  required  by law and
subject to any procedure  established by the Company pursuant to Arizona Revised
Statutes  Section  10-723  (or any  comparable  successor  provision),  the word
"SHAREHOLDER"  as used herein shall mean one who is a holder of record of shares
in the Company.

                            II. SHAREHOLDERS MEETINGS

     2.01. ANNUAL MEETINGS.  An annual meeting of shareholders shall be held for
the election of directors at such date, time and place, either within or without
the  State of  Arizona,  as may be  designated  by  resolution  of the  Board of
Directors from time to time. Any other proper  business may be transacted at the
annual  meeting.  A special  meeting may be called and held in lieu of an annual
meeting  pursuant  to the  provisions  of  Section  2.02  below,  and  the  same
proceedings (including the election of directors) may be conducted thereat as at
a regular  meeting.  Any  director  elected  at any annual  meeting,  or special
meeting in lieu of an annual meeting, will continue in office until the election
of his or her successor,  subject to his or her (a) earlier resignation pursuant
to Section 6.01 below,  (b) removal pursuant to Section 3.13 below, or (c) death
or disqualification.

     2.02.  SPECIAL  MEETINGS.  Except as  otherwise  required  by law,  special
meetings of the  shareholders  may be held  whenever and wherever  called by the
Chairman of the Board,  the President,  or a majority of the Board of Directors,
but such  special  meetings  may not be called by any other  person or  persons.
Business  transacted at any special meeting of shareholders  shall be limited to
the purposes stated in the notice.
<PAGE>
     2.03.  NOTICE.  Notice of any meeting of the shareholders  will be given as
provided by law to each  shareholder  entitled to vote at such  meeting  and, if
required by law, to each other  shareholder of the Company.  Any such notice may
be waived as provided by law.

     2.04.  RIGHT TO VOTE.  For each meeting of the  shareholders,  the Board of
Directors  will fix in advance a record  date as  contemplated  by law,  and the
shares of stock and the shareholders  "ENTITLED TO VOTE" (as that or any similar
term is herein used) at any meeting of the shareholders will be determined as of
the applicable record date. The Secretary (or in his or her absence an Assistant
Secretary)  will see to the making and production of any record of  shareholders
entitled to vote or otherwise  entitled to notice of shareholders  meetings,  in
either case which is required by law.  Any voting  entitlement  may be exercised
through  proxy,  or in such other  manner as  specifically  provided  by law, in
accordance  with the  applicable  law.  In the event of  contest,  the burden of
proving  the  validity of any  undated or  irrevocable  proxy will rest with the
person  seeking to  exercise  the same.  A  telegram,  cablegram,  or  facsimile
appearing  to have  been  transmitted  by a  shareholder  (or by his or her duly
authorized attorney-in-fact) or other means of voting by telephone or electronic
transmission  may be accepted as a  sufficiently  written and executed  proxy if
otherwise permitted by law.

     2.05. NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDER BUSINESS AND NOMINATIONS.

          (a)  Annual Meetings of  Shareholders.  (1) Nominations of persons for
               election  to the  Board  of  Directors  of the  Company  and  the
               proposal of business to be considered by the  shareholders may be
               made at an annual  meeting of  shareholders  only (i) pursuant to
               the Company's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (ii)
               by or at the  direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) by any
               shareholder  of the Company who was a shareholder at the time the
               respective  notice provided for in this Section 2.05 is delivered
               to the  Secretary of the Company,  who is entitled to vote at the
               meeting and who complies with the notice  procedures set forth in
               this Section 2.05.

               (2)  For  nominations  or other  business to be properly  brought
               before an annual  meeting  by a  shareholder  pursuant  to clause
               (iii) of paragraph  (a)(1) of this Section 2.05, the  shareholder
               must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary
               of the  Company  and any such  proposed  business  other than the
               nominations  of persons for  election  to the Board of  Directors
               must  constitute a proper matter for  shareholder  action.  To be
               timely, a shareholder  notice shall be delivered to the Secretary
               at the principal  executive offices of the Company not later than
               the close of business  (a) with respect to business to be brought
               before the meeting,  on the ninetieth day or not earlier than the
               close of business on the one hundred  twentieth  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  has been  changed  by more  than  thirty  days from such
               anniversary  date, notice by the shareholder must be so delivered
               not later than the close of business  on the tenth day  following
               the day on which public  announcement of the date of such meeting
               was  mailed  or public disclosure of the annual meeting was made,

                                       -2-
<PAGE>
               whichever  first occurs),  and (b) with respect to nominations of
               persons to be elected to the Board of Directors,  the one-hundred
               and  eightieth  day prior to the date of the meeting at which the
               election is to occur.  In no event shall the public  announcement
               of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a
               new time  period (or extend any 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 "EXCHANGE ACT"), and Rule 14a-11 thereunder
               (and 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  text  of the
               proposal  or  business  (including  the  text of any  resolutions
               proposed for  consideration  and, in the event that such business
               includes  a  proposal  to amend the  Bylaws of the  Company,  the
               language for the proposed amendment),  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  Company's
               books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of
               shares  of  capital   stock  of  the   Company   that  are  owned
               beneficially   and  of  record  by  such   shareholder  and  such
               beneficial owner, (iii) a representation  that the shareholder is
               a holder of record of stock of the  Company  entitled  to vote at
               such  meeting  and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the
               meeting  to  propose  such  business  or  nomination,  and (iv) a
               representation  whether the shareholder or the beneficial  owner,
               if any, intends or is part of a group that intends (a) to deliver
               a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the
               percentage of the Company's outstanding capital stock required to
               approve or adopt the  proposal  or elect the  nominee  and/or (b)
               otherwise to solicit proxies from shareholders in support of such
               proposal or  nomination.  The  Company  may require any  proposed
               nominee to furnish such other  information  as it may  reasonably
               require to determine the eligibility of such proposed  nominee to
               serve as a director of the Company.

          (b)  Special  Meetings of  Shareholders.  Only such business  shall be
               conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall have been
               brought  before the meeting  pursuant to the Company's  notice of
               meeting.

                                       -3-

          (c)  General.  (1) Only such persons who are  nominated in  accordance
               with the  procedures  set  forth in this  Section  2.05  shall be
               eligible  to be  elected  at an  annual  or  special  meeting  of
               shareholders  of the Company 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 in this Section  2.05.  Except as otherwise
               provided by law, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power
               and duty (a) 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 this  Section  2.05  (including  whether  the  shareholder  or
               beneficial  owner,  if any,  on whose  behalf the  nomination  or
               proposal is made solicited (or is part of a group that solicited)
               or did not so solicit,  as the case may be, proxies in support of
               such  shareholder's  nominee or proposal in compliance  with such
               shareholder's  representation as required by clause (a)(2)(c)(iv)
               of this  Section  2.05)  and (b) if any  proposed  nomination  or
               business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section
               2.05, to declare that such  nomination  shall be  disregarded  or
               that such proposed business shall not be transacted.

               (2)  For purposes of this  Section  2.05,  "PUBLIC  ANNOUNCEMENT"
               shall mean  disclosure  in a press  release  reported  by the Dow
               Jones News Service,  Associated Press or comparable national news
               service or in a document  publicly  filed by the Company with the
               Securities and Exchange  Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or
               15(d) of the Exchange Act.

               (3)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  provisions  of this Section
               2.05,  a  shareholder  shall  also  comply  with  all  applicable
               requirements  of the Exchange  Act and the rules and  regulations
               thereunder  with respect to the matters set forth in this Section
               2.05.  Nothing in this Section 2.05 shall be deemed to affect any
               rights (a) of shareholders  to request  inclusion of proposals in
               the  Company's  proxy  statement  pursuant  to Rule  14a-8 of the
               Exchange  Act or (b) of the  holders of any  series of  Preferred
               Stock to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of
               the Articles.

     2.06. RIGHT TO ATTEND.  Except only to the extent of persons  designated by
the Board of  Directors  or the Chairman of the meeting to assist in the conduct
of the  meeting (as  referred to in Sections  2.08 and 2.09 below) and except as
otherwise  permitted  by the Board or such  Chairman,  the  persons  entitled to
attend any meeting of shareholders may be confined to (i) shareholders  entitled
to vote  thereat  and other  shareholders  entitled to notice of the meeting and
(ii) the persons upon whom  proxies  valid for purposes of the meeting have been
conferred or their duly appointed  substitutes  (if the related proxies confer a
power of substitution);  provided,  however,  that the Board of Directors or the
Chairman of the  meeting  may  establish  rules  limiting  the number of persons
referred  to in  clause  (ii) as being  entitled  to  attend  on  behalf  of any
shareholder so as to preclude such an excessively  large  representation of such
shareholder  at the meeting as, in the  judgment of the Board or such  Chairman,
would be unfair to other  shareholders  represented  at the meeting or be unduly
disruptive  of the orderly  conduct of business at such  meeting  (whether  such

                                       -4-
<PAGE>
representation would result from fragmentation of the aggregate number of shares
held by such shareholder for the purpose of conferring proxies,  from the naming
of an excessively  large proxy delegation by such shareholder or from employment
of any other  device).  A person  otherwise  entitled to attend any such meeting
will cease to be so entitled if, in the judgment of the Chairman of the meeting,
such person engages thereat in disorderly conduct impeding the proper conduct of
the meeting in the interests of all shareholders as a group.

     2.07.  QUORUM.  Except as otherwise  provided by law, the Articles or these
Bylaws,  at each meeting of  shareholders  the presence in person or by proxy of
the holders of a majority  in voting  power of the  outstanding  shares of stock
entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and  sufficient to constitute
a quorum.

     2.08.  ELECTION  INSPECTORS.  The Board of  Directors,  in  advance  of any
shareholders  meeting may appoint an election  inspector or inspectors to act at
such  meeting  (and  any  adjournment  thereof).  If an  election  inspector  or
inspectors  are not so  appointed,  the Chairman of the meeting may or, upon the
request  of  any  person  entitled  to  vote  at the  meeting  will,  make  such
appointment.  If any person appointed as an inspector fails to appear or to act,
a substitute may be appointed by the Chairman of the meeting. If appointed,  the
election  inspector or inspectors (acting through a majority of them if there be
more  than  one)  will   determine  the  number  of  shares   outstanding,   the
authenticity,  validity  and  effect of  proxies,  the  credentials  of  persons
purporting to be  shareholders  or persons named or referred to in proxies,  and
the number of shares  represented  at the  meeting in person and by proxy;  they
will  receive and count  votes,  ballots and  consents  and announce the results
thereof; they will hear and determine all challenges and questions pertaining to
proxies and  voting;  and, in  general,  they will  perform  such acts as may be
proper  to  conduct   elections  and  voting  with  complete   fairness  to  all
shareholders. No such election inspector need be a shareholder of the Company.

     2.09.  ORGANIZATION AND CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. Each shareholders meeting will
be called to order and thereafter  chaired by the Chairman of the Board if there
then is one;  or,  if not,  or if the  Chairman  of the  Board is  absent  or so
requests,  then by the  President;  or if both the Chairman of the Board and the
President  are  unavailable,  then by such other  officer of the Company or such
shareholder as may be appointed by the Board of Directors.  The Secretary (or in
his or her absence an Assistant  Secretary) of the Company will act as secretary
of  each  shareholders  meeting;  if  neither  the  Secretary  nor an  Assistant
Secretary is in  attendance,  the Chairman of the meeting may appoint any person
(whether a  shareholder  or not) to act as secretary  thereat.  After  calling a
meeting to order,  the  Chairman  thereof may require  the  registration  of all
shareholders  intending to vote in person,  and the filing of all proxies,  with
the election inspector or inspectors, if one or more have been appointed (or, if
not,  with the  secretary of the  meeting).  After the  announced  time for such
filing of proxies has ended,  no further  proxies or changes,  substitutions  or
revocations  of proxies will be  accepted.  If  directors  are to be elected,  a
tabulation of the proxies so filed will, if any person  entitled to vote in such
election so requests, be announced at the meeting (or adjournment thereof) prior
to the closing of the election polls.

     Absent a showing of bad faith on his or her part, the Chairman of a meeting
will,  among other  things,  have  absolute  authority to determine the order of
business to be conducted at such meeting and to establish rules for, and appoint

                                       -5-
<PAGE>
personnel to assist in,  preserving  the orderly  conduct of the business of the
meeting  (including  any informal,  or question and answer,  portions  thereof).
Rules,  regulations  or  procedures  regarding  the conduct of the business of a
meeting, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the Chairman
of the  meeting,  may  include,  without  limitation,  the  following:  (i)  the
establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting;  (ii) rules and
procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present;
(iii)   limitations  on  attendance  at  or  participation  in  the  meeting  to
shareholders  of record of the Company,  their duly  authorized and  constituted
proxies  (subject to Section  2.06) or such other persons as the Chairman of the
meeting shall  determine;  (iv)  restrictions  on entry to the meeting after the
time  fixed  for the  commencement  thereof;  and (v)  limitations  on the  time
allotted to  questions  or comments  by  participants.  Unless and to the extent
determined by the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the meeting, meetings of
shareholders  shall not be required to be held in  accordance  with the rules of
parliamentary   procedure.  Any  informational  or  other  informal  session  of
shareholders conducted under the auspices of the Company after the conclusion of
or otherwise in conjunction with any formal business meeting of the shareholders
will be chaired by the same  person  who  chairs  the  formal  meeting,  and the
foregoing  authority  on his or her part  will  extend  to the  conduct  of such
informal session.

     2.10.  VOTING.  The number of shares  voted on any matter  submitted to the
shareholders  which is required to constitute  their action  thereon or approval
thereof will be determined in accordance with applicable law, the Articles,  and
these Bylaws, if applicable.  No ballot or change of vote will be accepted after
the polls have been declared  closed  following the ending of the announced time
for voting.

     2.11.  SHAREHOLDER  APPROVAL OR  RATIFICATION.  The Board of Directors  may
submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any duly  constituted
meeting of the shareholders,  the notice of which either includes mention of the
proposed  submittal  or is waived as provided in Section  2.03 above.  Except as
otherwise  required by law (e.g.,  Arizona Revised Statutes Section 10-863),  if
any  contract or act so  submitted  is approved or ratified by a majority of the
votes cast thereon at such  meeting,  the same will be valid and as binding upon
the Company and all of its  shareholders as it would be if approved and ratified
by each and every shareholder of the Company.

     2.12.  CONTROL  SHARE ACT. The  provisions of Section  10-2721  through and
including Section 10-2727 of the Arizona Revised Statutes shall not apply to the
Company.

     2.13.  ADJOURNMENTS.  Any meeting of shareholders,  annual or special,  may
adjourn  from time to time to  reconvene  at the same or some other  place,  and
notice  need not be given of any such  adjourned  meeting  if the time and place
thereof are announced at the meeting at which the  adjournment is taken.  At the
adjourned  meeting the Company may transact  any  business  that might have been
transacted  at the original  meeting.  If the  adjournment  is for more than one
hundred and twenty days, or if after the  adjournment a new record date is fixed
for the adjourned  meeting,  notice of the  adjourned  meeting shall be given to
each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

                             III. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     3.01.  MEMBERSHIP.  The Board of Directors of the corporation shall consist
of not less then  nine (9) nor more than  twenty-one  (21)  shareholders  of the
Company  or of any parent  corporation  thereof  (except  that it shall not be a
requirement  that any member of the initial  Board of Directors be a shareholder
of the Company or of any parent corporation thereof),  and shall be divided into
three classes in the manner  provided in the Articles  (Art.  Fifth).  The Board
will have the  exclusive  power to  increase  or  decrease  its size within such
limits.  Any  vacancy  occurring  in the  Board,  whether  by  reason  of death,
resignation,  disqualification  or otherwise,  may be filled by the directors as
contemplated  by law and as  provided in the  Articles  (Art.  Fifth).  Any such
increase  in the size of the  Board,  and the  filling  of any  vacancy  created
thereby,  will require action by a majority of the whole membership of the Board
as comprised immediately before such increase.

     3.02.  QUALIFICATIONS.  In order to qualify as a director, a person must be
the owner of one or more  shares of the  capital  stock of the Company or of any
parent  corporation  thereof  at the  time of  assuming  office  (except  as may
otherwise  be  provided  in these  Bylaws  or in the  Articles)  and for so long
thereafter as such person remains in office. A person will cease to qualify as a
director if he or she (i) is in good faith determined by a majority of the other
directors  then in office to be  physically  or mentally  incapable of competent
performance  as a  director  for  a  period,  starting  with  inception  of  the
incapacity, that has extended or is likely to extend for more than six months or
(ii) has  failed to attend  six  successive  regular  meetings  of the Board (as
determined in accordance  with Section 3.03 below) unless and to the extent such
failure is waived by a majority of the other directors then in office;  however,
disqualification  pursuant  to  clause  (i) or (ii) of this  sentence  will  not
preclude the subsequent  election or appointment of such person as a director by
the  shareholders  or the  Board  if a  majority  of  the  directors  in  office
immediately  prior to the  submission of such person for election or appointment
shall determine that his or her prior  incapacity or principal  reason for prior
non-attendance  no longer  exists.  A person will not  qualify  for  election or
appointment as a director,  whether  initially or on re-election  and whether by
the  shareholders  at their  annual  meeting  or by the  Board of  Directors  as
contemplated  in Section 3.01 above, if such person's 70th birthday occurs on or
has occurred  before the date of such election,  appointment or  re-election.  A
person who has been a full-time  employee of the Company  within  twelve  months
prior to the date of any election will not qualify for election as a director on
that date unless he or she then  remains a full-time  employee of the Company or
unless the Board of  Directors  specifically  authorizes  the  election  of such
person  (but it is not  intended  that  any  such  authorization  will  extend a
person's service on the Board beyond the age limitation set out in the preceding
sentence). A person who has qualified by age or employment status for his or her
most recent election as a director may serve  throughout the term for which such
person was elected,  notwithstanding  the occurrence of his or her 70th birthday
or  cessation of full-time  employment  by the Company  between the date of such
election and the end of such term,  subject,  however,  to his or her  otherwise
remaining qualified for such office.

     3.03. REGULAR MEETINGS.  A regular annual meeting of the directors is to be
held as soon as practicable  after the  adjournment of each annual  shareholders
meeting either at the place of the  shareholders  meeting or at such other place
as the directors  elected at the shareholders  meeting may have been informed of
at or before the time of their election. Regular meetings, other than the annual

                                       -7-
<PAGE>
ones,  may be held at such  intervals  at such  places  and at such times as the
Board of Directors may provide.

     3.04.  SPECIAL MEETINGS.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be
held  whenever  and  wherever  called  for by the  Chairman  of the  Board,  the
President  or the number of  directors  which would be required to  constitute a
quorum.

     3.05.  NOTICE.  No notice need be given of regular meetings of the Board of
Directors.  Notice of the time and place (but not necessarily the purpose or all
of the purposes) of any special meeting will be given to each director in person
or  by  telephone,  or  via  mail,  telegram,  facsimile,  or  other  electronic
transmission addressed in the manner appearing on the Company's records.  Notice
to any director of any such special meeting will be deemed given sufficiently in
advance when (i) if given by mail,  the same is  deposited in the United  States
mail at least four days before the meeting date, with postage  thereon  prepaid,
(ii) if given by telegram,  the same is delivered  to the  telegraph  office for
fast transmittal at least 48 hours prior to the convening of the meeting,  (iii)
if given by facsimile or other electronic transmission,  the same is received by
the  director or an adult  member of his or her office  staff or  household,  at
least 24 hours prior to the  convening  of the  meeting,  or (iv) if  personally
delivered or given by telephone, the same is handed, or the substance thereof is
communicated  over the telephone to the director or to an adult member of his or
her office staff or  household,  at least 24 hours prior to the convening of the
meeting.  Any such notice may be waived as provided by law. No call or notice of
a meeting of  directors  will be  necessary  if each of them  waives the same in
writing or by attendance.  Any meeting,  once properly called and noticed (or as
to which call and notice have been waived as aforesaid) and at which a quorum is
formed,  may be  adjourned  to another  time and place by a majority of those in
attendance.

     3.06.  QUORUM;  VOTING.  A quorum for the  transaction  of  business at any
meeting or  adjourned  meeting of the  directors  will  consist of a majority of
those then in office. Any matter submitted to a meeting of the directors will be
resolved by a majority of the votes cast thereon,  except as otherwise  required
by these Bylaws  (ss.ss.  3.01 and 3.02 above and ss. 3.07 below),  by law or by
any applicable  Article.  However, in case of an equality of votes, the Chairman
of the meeting will have a second or deciding  vote.  Where action by a majority
of the whole  membership is required,  such requirement will be deemed to relate
to a majority  of the  directors  in office at the time the action is taken.  In
computing any such majority, whether for purposes of determining the presence of
a quorum  or the  adequacy  of the vote on any  proposed  action,  any  unfilled
vacancies at the time  existing in the  membership of the Board will be excluded
from the computation.

     3.07.  EXECUTIVE  COMMITTEE.  The Board of  Directors  may,  by  resolution
adopted by a majority of the whole  Board,  name three or more of its members as
an Executive Committee.  Such Executive Committee will have and may exercise the
powers of the Board of Directors in the  management  of the business and affairs
of the Company  while the Board is not in session,  except only as  precluded by
law or where  action  other than by a majority  of the votes cast is required by
these Bylaws, or the law (all as referred to in Section 3.06 above), and subject
to such limitations as may be included in any applicable  resolution passed by a
majority of the whole  membership of the Board. A majority of those named to the
Executive Committee will constitute a quorum.

                                       -8-
<PAGE>
     3.08.  OTHER  COMMITTEES.  The Board of Directors may designate one or more
additional committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors
of the Company.  The Board of Directors may  designate one or more  directors as
alternate  members of any committee,  who may replace any absent or disqualified
member at any  meeting  of the  committee.  Any such  committee,  to the  extent
permitted by law and to the extent  provided in the  resolution  of the Board of
Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board
of Directors in the  management of the business and affairs of the Company,  and
may  authorize  the seal of the  Company to be  affixed  to all papers  that may
require it.

     3.09.  COMMITTEE  FUNCTIONING.   Notice  requirements  and  related  waiver
provisions for meetings of the Executive  Committee and other  committees of the
Board will be the same as those set forth in Section  3.05 above for meetings of
the Board of Directors. Except as provided in the next two succeeding sentences,
a majority of those named to the Executive  Committee or any other  committee of
the Board will  constitute a quorum at any meeting  thereof  (with the effect of
departure of committee  members from a meeting and the computation of a majority
of committee members to be in accordance with the applicable policies of Section
3.06 above), and any matter submitted to a meeting of any such committee will be
resolved by a majority of the votes cast thereon.  No  distinction  will be made
among  ex-officio or other members of any such  committee for quorum,  voting or
other  purposes,  except that the  membership  of any committee  (including  the
Executive  Committee),  in  performing  any  function  vested  in it  as  herein
contemplated,  may be deemed to exclude any officer or employee of the  Company,
in either case, or other person having a direct or indirect personal interest in
any proposed  exercise of such  function,  whose  exclusion  for that purpose is
deemed  appropriate  by a  majority  of the  other  members  of  such  committee
proposing to perform such function.  All committees are to keep regular  minutes
of the transactions of their meetings.

     3.10.  ACTION BY  TELEPHONE  OR  CONSENT.  Any  meeting of the Board or any
committee thereof may be held by conference telephone or similar  communications
equipment as permitted by law, in which case any required notice of such meeting
may generally describe the arrangements  (rather than the place) for the holding
thereof,  and all other provisions herein contained or referred to will apply to
such meeting as though it were  physically  held at a single  place.  Action may
also be taken by the Board or any  committee  thereof  without a meeting  if the
members thereof consent in writing thereto as contemplated by law.

     3.11.  PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT. A director of the Company who is present at a
meeting of the Board of Directors,  or of any committee when corporate action is
taken is deemed to have  assented  to the  action  taken  unless  either (i) the
director  objects at the beginning of the meeting or promptly on the  director's
arrival  to  holding  it or  transacting  business  at  the  meeting;  (ii)  the
director's dissent or abstention from the action taken is entered in the minutes
of the meeting;  or (iii) the director delivers written notice of the director's
dissent  or  abstention  to the  presiding  officer  of the  meeting  before its
adjournment  or to the Company  before 5:00 P.M. on the next  business day after
the meeting.  The right of dissent or  abstention is not available to a director
who votes in favor of the action taken.

     3.12.  COMPENSATION.  By resolution of the Board, the directors may be paid
their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors,
or of any  committee,  and may be paid a fixed sum for  attendance  at each such
meeting  and/or a stated  salary as a  director  or  committee  member.  No such

                                       -9-
<PAGE>
payment  will  preclude  any  director  from  serving  the  Company in any other
capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

     3.13. REMOVAL. Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed
with or without cause, only at a special meeting of shareholders called for that
purpose,  by the affirmative vote of sixty-six and two-thirds  percent (66 2/3%)
of the  issued and  outstanding  shares of stock  then  entitled  to vote on the
election of directors, except that if less than the entire Board of Directors is
to be removed,  no one of the directors may be removed if the votes cast against
the  director's  removal  would be  sufficient  to elect  the  director  if then
cumulatively  voted at an  election  for the  class of  directors  of which  the
director is a part.

                             IV. OFFICERS - GENERAL

     4.01. ELECTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS. The directors may elect or appoint one or
more of the  officers  of the  Company  contemplated  in Part V below.  Any such
election or  appointment  will regularly take place at the annual meeting of the
directors,  but  elections of officers  may be held at any other  meeting of the
Board.  A person  elected or appointed to any office will  continue to hold that
office until the election or  appointment  of his or her  successor,  subject to
action earlier taken pursuant to Section 4.04 or 6.01 below. Any person may hold
more than one office.

     4.02. ADDITIONAL APPOINTMENTS.  In addition to the officers contemplated in
Part V below, the Board of Directors may create other corporate  positions,  and
appoint  persons  thereto,  with such authority to perform such duties as may be
prescribed  from time to time by the Board of Directors,  by the President or by
the superior officer of any person so appointed. Notwithstanding such additional
appointments, only those persons whose offices are described in Part V are to be
considered an officer of the Company unless the resolution or other Board action
appointing such person  expressly states that such person is to be considered an
officer of the  Company.  Each of such persons (in the order  designated  by the
Board or the  superior  officer of such  person)  will be vested with all of the
powers and charged with all of the duties of his or her superior  officer in the
event of such superior officer's absence or disability.

     4.03. BONDS AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS.  The Board of Directors may require any
officer or other appointee to give bond to the Company (with sufficient  surety,
and conditioned upon the faithful performance of the duties of his or her office
or position)  and to comply with such other  conditions as may from time to time
be required of him or her by the Board.

     4.04.  REMOVAL  OR  DELEGATION.  Provided  that a  majority  of  the  whole
membership  thereof  concurs  therein,  the Board of  Directors  may  remove any
officer  of the  Company as  provided  by law and  declare  his or her office or
offices  vacant or abolished or, in the case of the absence or disability of any
officer or for any other reason considered sufficient,  may temporarily delegate
his or her powers and duties to any other  officer or to any  director.  Similar
action may be taken by the Board of Directors in regard to appointees designated
pursuant to Section 4.02 above.

     4.05.  SALARIES.  Officer  salaries  may from  time to time be fixed by the
Board of Directors or (except as to his or her own) be left to the discretion of
the Chief Executive Officer or the President.  No officer will be prevented from

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
receiving  a salary by reason of the fact that he or she is also a  director  of
the Company.

                   V. SPECIFIC OFFICERS, FUNCTIONS AND POWERS

     5.01. CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. The Board of Directors may elect a Chairman to
serve as a  general  executive  officer  of the  Company  and,  if  specifically
designated as such by the Board, as the Chief Executive  Officer of the Company.
If elected,  the Chairman  will preside at all meetings of the  directors and be
vested  with such  other  powers  and  duties as the Board may from time to time
delegate to him or her.

     5.02.  CHIEF  EXECUTIVE  OFFICER.  Subject  to the  control of the Board of
Directors exercised as hereinafter provided,  the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company will  supervise  its business and affairs and the  performance  of their
respective duties by all other officers,  by appointees  designated  pursuant to
Section  4.02  above,  and by such  additional  appointees  to  such  additional
positions  (corporate,  divisional or otherwise) as the Chief Executive  Officer
may designate,  with authority on his or her part to delegate the foregoing duty
of supervision to such extent and to such person or persons as may be determined
by the Chief Executive Officer.  Except as otherwise indicated from time to time
by  resolution  of the Board of  Directors,  its  management of the business and
affairs  of the  Company  will be  implemented  through  the office of the Chief
Executive Officer.

     5.03.  PRESIDENT AND VICE  PRESIDENTS.  Unless specified to the contrary by
resolution of the Board of Directors,  the President will be the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. In addition to the supervisory functions above set forth
on the part of the Chief  Executive  Officer  or in lieu  thereof  if a contrary
specification is made by the Board relative to the Chief Executive Officer,  the
President  will be vested with such powers and duties as the Board may from time
to time  designate.  Vice Presidents may be elected by the Board of Directors to
perform  such  duties  as may be  designated  by the  Board  or be  assigned  or
delegated to them by their respective superior officers.  The Board may identify
(i) one or more Vice  Presidents as "Executive" or "Senior" Vice  Presidents and
(ii) the President or any Vice President as "General Manager" of the Company and
the title of any Vice  President  may  include  words  indicative  of his or her
particular area of responsibility and authority. Vice Presidents will succeed to
the responsibilities and authority of the President,  in the event of his or her
absence or disability,  in the order consistent with their respective  titles or
regular duties or as specifically designated by the Board of Directors.

     5.04.  TREASURER AND  SECRETARY.  The  Treasurer  and  Secretary  each will
perform all such duties normally  associated with his or her office  (including,
in the case of the  Secretary,  the  giving of notice  and the  preparation  and
retention  of minutes of  corporate  proceedings  and the  custody of  corporate
records and the seal of the Company) as are not assigned to a Vice  President of
the Company,  along with such other duties as may be  designated by the Board or
be assigned or  delegated to them by their  respective  superior  officers.  The
Board may appoint one or more  Assistant  Treasurers  or Assistant  Secretaries,
each of whom (in the order designated by the Board or their respective  superior
officers)  will be vested  with all of the  powers and  charged  with all of the
duties of the  Treasurer or the  Secretary  (as the case may be) in the event of
his or her absence or disability.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
     5.05. SPECIFIC POWERS.  Except as may otherwise be specifically provided in
a resolution of the Board of Directors,  any of the officers referred to in this
Part V will be a proper  officer to  authenticate  records of the Company and to
sign on  behalf  of the  Company  any deed,  bill of sale,  assignment,  option,
mortgage, pledge, note, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness,  application,
consent  (to service of process or  otherwise),  agreement,  indenture  or other
instrument  of  importance  to the Company.  Any such officer may  represent the
Company at any  meeting  of the  shareholders  or  members  of any  corporation,
association,  partnership,  joint  venture or other entity in which this Company
then has an interest, and may vote such interest in person or by proxy appointed
by him or her, provided that the Board of Directors may from time to time confer
the foregoing authority upon any other person or persons.

                         VI. RESIGNATIONS AND VACANCIES

     6.01.  RESIGNATIONS.  Any director,  committee member or officer may resign
from his or her office at any time by written  notice as specified in accordance
with Arizona Revised  Statutes  Sections 10-807 and 10-843.  The acceptance of a
resignation will not be required to make it effective.

     6.02. VACANCIES. If the office of any director, committee member or officer
becomes  vacant by reason of his or her  death,  resignation,  disqualification,
removal or  otherwise,  the Board of  Directors  may choose a successor  to hold
office for the unexpired term.

                      VII. INDEMNIFICATION AND RATIFICATION

     7.01.  INDEMNIFICATION.  In order to induce qualified  persons to serve the
Company (and any other corporation,  joint venture, partnership,  trust or other
enterprise at the request of the Company) as directors and officers, the Company
shall indemnify any and all of its directors and officers,  or former  directors
and officers to the fullest  extent  permitted by applicable law as it presently
exists or may hereafter be amended.

     7.02.  RATIFICATION;  SPECIAL  COMMITTEE.  Any  transaction  involving  the
Company, any of its subsidiary  corporations or any of its directors,  officers,
employees  or agents  which at any time is  questioned  in any manner or context
(including a shareholders  derivative suit), on the ground of lack of authority,
conflict  of  interest,   misleading  or  omitted  statement  of  fact  or  law,
nondisclosure,  miscomputation,  improper principles or practices of accounting,
inadequate records,  defective or irregular execution or any similar ground, may
be investigated  and/or ratified (before or after judgment),  or an election may
be made not to  institute  or  pursue a claim or legal  proceedings  on  account
thereof or to accept or approve a negotiated  settlement  with  respect  thereto
(before  or  after  the  institution  of  legal  proceedings),  by the  Board of
Directors  or  by  a  special   committee  thereof  comprised  of  one  or  more
disinterested   directors  (that  is,  a  director  or  directors  who  did  not
participate  in  the  questioned   transaction  with  actual  knowledge  of  the
questioned aspect or aspects  thereof).  Such a special committee may be validly
formed and fully  empowered to act, in  accordance  with the purposes and duties
assigned  thereto,  by  resolution  or  resolutions  of the Board of  Directors,
notwithstanding  (i) the inclusion of Board members who are not disinterested as
aforesaid  among those who form a quorum at the meeting or meetings at which one
or more members of such special  committee are elected or appointed to the Board
or to such special  committee or at which such committee is formed or empowered,

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
or their inclusion among the directors who vote upon or otherwise participate in
taking any of the foregoing  actions,  or (ii) the taking of any of such actions
by the disinterested  members of the Board (or a majority of such members) whose
number is not  sufficient to constitute a quorum or a majority of the membership
of the full Board.  Any such special  committee so comprised  will,  to the full
extent  consistent  with its purposes and duties as expressed in such resolution
or  resolutions,  have all of the authority and powers of the full Board and its
Executive  Committee  (the  same as  though it were the full  Board  and/or  its
Executive  Committee in carrying out such purposes and duties) and will function
in accordance with Section 3.09 above. No other provisions of these Bylaws which
may at any time appear to conflict with any provisions of this Section 7.02, and
no defect or  irregularity  in the  formation,  empowering or functioning of any
such special committee,  will serve to impede, impair or bring into question any
action taken or  purported to be taken by such  committee or the validity of any
such action.  Any  ratification  of a transaction  pursuant to this Section 7.02
will  have the  same  force  and  effect  as if the  transaction  has been  duly
authorized originally. Any such ratification,  and any election made pursuant to
this Section 7.02 with respect to claims, legal proceedings or settlements, will
be binding upon the Company and its  shareholders  and will  constitute a bar to
any  claim or the  execution  of any  judgment  in  respect  of the  transaction
involved in such ratification or election.

                                   VIII. SEAL

     8.01. FORM THEREOF. The seal of the Company will have inscribed thereon the
name of the  Company,  the  state  and year of its  incorporation  and the words
"SEAL".

                             IX. STOCK CERTIFICATES

     9.01. FORM THEREOF. Each certificate representing stock of the Company will
be in such form  conforming  to law as may from time to time be  approved by the
Board of Directors,  and will bear the manual  facsimile  signatures and seal of
the Company as required or permitted by law.

     9.02. OWNERSHIP. The Company will be entitled to treat the registered owner
of any share as the absolute owner thereof and accordingly, will not be bound to
recognize  any  beneficial,  equitable  or other claim to, or interest  in, such
share on the part of any other  person,  whether or not it has  notice  thereof,
except as may  expressly be provided by Chapter 8 of Title 47,  Arizona  Revised
Statutes (or its successor), as at the time in effect, or other applicable law.

     9.03. TRANSFERS. Transfer of stock will be made on the books of the Company
only upon surrender of the certificate therefor, duly endorsed by an appropriate
person,  with  such  assurance  of  the  genuineness  and  effectiveness  of the
endorsement  as the Company may  require,  all as  contemplated  by Chapter 8 of
Title 47, Arizona Revised Statutes (or its successor), as at the time in effect,
and/or upon  submission  of any  affidavit,  other  document or notice which the
Company considers necessary.

may make any further or different provisions that may be practical and necessary
for the circumstances of the emergency.

                    subject to arbitration.

               (b)  In the case of property other than cash or shares,  the fair
                    market  value of the  property  on the date in  question  as

DIRECTORS.

          1.   Except as set forth in these  Bylaws,  the Company may not engage
               in any business  combination or vote, consent or otherwise act to
               authorize a  subsidiary  of the Company to engage in any business
               combination  with  respect to,  proposed  by, or on behalf of, or
               pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding,  whether
               or not in writing, with any interested shareholder of the Company
               or any affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder for a
               period  of three (3) years  after  the  interested  shareholder's
               share acquisition  date,  unless the business  combination or the
               acquisition of shares made by the  interested  shareholder on the
               interested  shareholder's share acquisition date is approved by a
               committee  of the Board of  Directors  of the Company  before the
               interested  shareholder's  share  acquisition date. The committee
               shall be formed in accordance  with  subsection 4 of this Section
               12.02.

          2.   If  a  good  faith  definitive   proposal  regarding  a  business
               combination  is made in writing to the Board of  Directors of the
               Company,  a  committee  of the Board  formed in  accordance  with
               subsection 4 of this Section 12.02 shall consider and take action
               on the proposal  and respond in writing  within  forty-five  (45)
               days after receipt of the proposal by the Company,  setting forth
               its decision regarding the proposal.

          3.   If a good faith definitive  proposal to acquire shares is made in
               writing to the Board of Directors of the Company,  a committee of
               the Board of Directors  formed in accordance with subsection 4 of
               this  Section  12.02  shall  consider  and  take  action  on  the
               proposal.  Unless the committee responds affirmatively in writing
               within  forty-five (45) days after receipt of the proposal by the
               Company,  the committee  shall be considered to have  disapproved
               the share acquisition.

          4.   When a business  combination or acquisition of shares is proposed
               pursuant to this  Section  12.02,  the Board of  Directors  shall
               promptly  form  a  committee  composed  of  all  of  the  Board's
               disinterested  Directors.  The committee shall take action on the
               proposal  by the  affirmative  vote of a simple  majority  of the
               committee members.  The committee is not subject to any direction
               or  control  by  the  Board  with  respect  to  the   committee's
               consideration of or any action concerning a business  combination
               or  acquisition  of shares  pursuant  to this  Section  12.02.  A
               committee formed pursuant to this subsection shall be composed of
               one or more members. Only disinterested  Directors may be members

                                      -20-
<PAGE>
               of a committee  formed pursuant to this subsection.  However,  if
               the Board of Directors has no disinterested  Directors, the Board
               shall select three or more disinterested  persons to be committee
               members. For purposes of this subsection, a Director or person is
               disinterested  if the  Director  or person  is not an  interested
               shareholder  or an  affiliate  thereof  or a  present  or  former
               officer or employee of the Company or an  affiliate  or associate

Sections 12.02 and 12.04, the Company may not engage at any time in any business
combination or vote,  consent, or otherwise act to authorize a subsidiary of the
Company to engage in any business  combination  with respect to, proposed by, on
behalf of, or pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, or understanding,  whether
or not in  writing,  with  an  interested  shareholder  of  the  Company  or any

               Company.

          2.   Would not at any time within the three (3) year period  preceding
               the  announcement  date with respect to the business  combination
