          ----------------
Shareholder, either personally or by mail or other means of written
communication, charges prepaid, addressed to the Shareholder at his address

election of Directors) by the Shareholders is approved if the votes cast by the
Shareholders favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action
unless provided otherwise (i) under the corporation's articles of incorporation,
(ii) under the rights and preferences of any class or series of stock
authorized, or (iii) under Nevada law.  When a quorum is once present to
organize a meeting, the Shareholders present may continue to do business at the
meeting until adjournment even though enough Shareholders withdraw to leave less
than a quorum.

provided the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at
the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, if the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned
meeting with respect to who can vote at such meeting, then notice of the
adjourned meeting shall be given to each Shareholder of record on the new record
date who is entitled to vote at such meeting, which notice shall be given in

                    -------
or by proxy executed in writing by the Shareholder or by his attorney-in-fact.

of those present at the meeting; or if only one shall be present, then that one,

                    ---------------------------------
permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Shareholders may be taken without a

case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.

      B.  An Officer's or Director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit

circumstances of the case, the Officer or Director is fairly and reasonably

      E.  Indemnification permitted under this Article in connection with a
proceeding is limited to liability and expenses actually and reasonably incurred
in connection with the proceeding.

determined that he is not entitled to any indemnification under this Article or
otherwise.

      B.  The undertaking required by subsection 9.3A above must be an unlimited
general obligation of such Officer or Director but need not be secured and may
be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

determination, to the extent that such Officer or Director has been successful,
on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a
party, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, because he is or was
a Director or Officer, the Corporation shall indemnify such Officer or Director
against liability incurred by him in connection therewith.

      B.  The determination referred to in subsection 9.4A above shall be made,
at the election of the Board of Directors:

          under subparagraph 1 immediately above, selected by a majority vote of
          the full Board of Directors (in which selection Directors who are
          parties may participate); or

           3.  By the Shareholders provided that shares owned by or voted under
     the control of Directors or Officers who are at the time parties to the
     proceeding may not be voted on the determination.

      C.  Evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses of an Officer or Director
in the specific case shall be made in the same manner as the determination that
indemnification is permissible, as described in subsection 9.4B above, except

reasonableness of expenses shall be made by those entitled under subsection
9.4B2 to select counsel.
