                             LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE

    SECTION 5.1

                (a) If the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under the
Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an
involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the
Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or make an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, or if a decree or order for relief in
respect of the Corporation shall be entered by a court having jurisdiction in
the premises in an involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any
other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law
resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any
substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of
its affairs, and any such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a
period of thirty (30) consecutive days and, on account of any such event, the
Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or if the Corporation shall
otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up (each such event being considered a
"LIQUIDATION EVENT"), no distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares
of capital stock of the Corporation upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up
unless prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, subject
to Article 5, shall have received the Liquidation Preference with respect to
each share. If upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds
available for distribution among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and
holders of Pari Passu Securities shall be insufficient to permit the payment to
such holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire assets
and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the Series A
Preferred Stock and the Pari Passu Securities shall be distributed ratably among
such shares in proportion to the ratio that the Liquidation Preference payable
on each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference payable on all
such shares.

                (b) At the option of each Holder, the sale, conveyance or
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the
effectuation by the Corporation of a transaction or series of related
transactions (or excluding circumstances pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement or transfers to a subsidiary controlled by the Corporation) in which
more than 50% of the voting power of the Corporation is disposed of, or the
consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Corporation with or
into any other Person or Persons where the Corporation is not the survivor shall
either: (i) be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation pursuant to which the Corporation shall be required to distribute,
upon consummation of and as a condition to, such transaction an amount equal to
one hundred percent (100%) of the Liquidation Preference with respect to each
outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with and subject to
the terms of this Article 5 or (ii) be treated pursuant to Article 5(c)(iii)
hereof; PROVIDED, that all holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed
to elect the option set forth in clause (i) hereof if at least a majority in
interest of such holders elect such option.

<PAGE>   8

                (c) For purposes hereof, the "LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE" with
respect to a share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall mean an amount equal to
the sum of (i) the Stated Value thereof, plus (ii) the aggregate of all accrued
and unpaid dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock until the
Dividend Payment Due Date; PROVIDED that, in the event of an actual liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the amount referred to in clause
(iii) above shall be calculated by including accrued and unpaid dividends to the
actual date of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, rather than the
Dividend Payment Due Date referred to above.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                          CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK

         SECTION 6.1 CONVERSION; CONVERSION PRICE. At the option of the Holder,
the shares of Preferred Stock may be converted, either in whole or in part, into
Common Shares (calculated as to each such conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a
share), at any time, and from time to time, at a Conversion Price per share of
Common Stock equal to the lesser of: (a) $4.50 and (b) 65% of the Market Price;
provided, however, that:

                (a) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder
shall not have the right, and the Company shall not have the obligation, to
convert all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock (and the Company
shall not have the right to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in
shares of common stock) if and to the extent that the issuance to the Holder of
shares of common stock upon such conversion (or payment of dividends) would
result in the Holder being deemed the "beneficial owner" of 5% or more of the
then outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 13(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated
thereunder; and

                (b) unless the Corporation shall have obtained the approval of
its voting stockholders to such issuance in accordance with the rules of the
OTC/BB or such other stock market with which the Corporation shall be required
to comply, or unless such rules do not require shareholder approval, the
Corporation shall not issue shares of Common Stock (i) upon conversion of any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock or (ii) as a dividend on the Series A
Preferred Stock, if such issuance of Common Stock, when added to the number of
shares of Common Stock previously issued by the Corporation (i) upon conversion
of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) upon exercise of the Warrants
issued pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and (iii) in
payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, would be in excess of
19.99% of the number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock which were
issued and outstanding on the Conversion Date (the "MAXIMUM ISSUANCE AMOUNT").
In the event that a properly executed Conversion Notice is received by the
Corporation which would require the Corporation to issue shares of Common Stock
equal to or in excess of the Maximum Issuance Amount, the Corporation shall
honor such conversion request by (i) converting the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock stated in the Conversion Notice not in excess of the Maximum
Issuance Amount and (ii) at the Company's option (A) redeeming the number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock stated in the Conversion Notice equal to or
in excess of the Maximum Issuance Amount in cash at a price equal to one hundred
and twenty percent (120%) of the Stated Value of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock

<PAGE>   9

to be so redeemed, together with the fair market value of all accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon, or (B) obtaining such stockholder approval within 45 days of
the relevant Conversion Notice. If such stockholder approval is not so obtained
within such 45 day period, the Company shall redeem the number of shares named
in the relevant Conversion Notice in excess of the Maximum Issuance Amount as
described in clause (ii)(A) above. In the event that the Corporation shall elect
to pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock which would require the Corporation
to issue shares of Common Stock equal to or in excess of the Maximum Issuance
Amount, the Corporation shall pay (i) a dividend in shares of Common Stock equal
to one less than an amount which would result in the Corporation issuing shares
equal to the Maximum Issuance Amount and (ii) the balance of the dividend in
cash.

                (c) The number of shares of Common Stock due upon conversion of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be (i) the number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to be converted, multiplied by (ii) the Stated Value and divided by (iii)
the applicable Conversion Price.

                (d) Within two (2) Business Days of the occurrence of a
Valuation Event, the Corporation shall send notice (the "VALUATION EVENT
NOTICE") of such occurrence to the Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if a Valuation Event occurs during any Valuation
Period, a new Valuation Period shall begin on the Trading Day immediately
following the occurrence of such Valuation Event and end on the Conversion Date;
PROVIDED that, if a Valuation Event occurs on the fifth day of any Valuation
Period, then the Conversion Price shall be the Current Market Price of the
Common Shares on such day; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Holder may, in its
discretion, postpone such Conversion Date to a Trading Day which is no more than
five (5) Trading Days after the occurrence of the latest Valuation Event by
delivering a notification to the Corporation within two (2) Business Days of the
receipt of the Valuation Event Notice. In the event that the Holder deems the
Valuation Period to be other than the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to
the Conversion Date, the Holder shall give written notice of such fact to the
Corporation in the related Conversion Notice at the time of conversion.

                (e) For purposes of this Section 6.1, a "VALUATION EVENT" shall
mean an event in which the Corporation at any time during a Valuation Period
takes any of the following actions:

                  (i) subdivides or combines its Capital Shares;

                 (ii) makes any distribution of its Capital Shares;

                (iii) issues any additional Capital Shares (the "ADDITIONAL
CAPITAL SHARES"), otherwise than as provided in the foregoing Sections 6.1(a)
and 6.1(b) above, at a price per share less, or for other consideration lower,
than the Current Market Price in effect immediately prior to such issuances, or
without consideration, except for issuances under employee benefit plans
consistent with those presently in effect and issuances under presently
outstanding warrants, options or convertible securities;

<PAGE>   10

                (iv) issues any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe
for or purchase any Additional Capital Shares and the price per share for which
Additional Capital Shares may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to
such warrants, options or other rights shall be less than the Current Market
Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance;

                (v) issues any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for Capital Shares and the consideration per share for which
Additional Capital Shares may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to the
terms of such convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities shall be less
than the Current Market Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance;

                (vi) makes a distribution of its assets or evidences of
indebtedness to the holders of its Capital Shares as a dividend in liquidation
or by way of return of capital or other than as a dividend payable out of
earnings or surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under
applicable law or any distribution to such holders made in respect of the sale
of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets (other than under the
circumstances provided for in the foregoing Sections 6.1(e)(i) through
6.1(e)(v)); or

                (vii) takes any action affecting the number of Outstanding
Capital Shares, other than an action described in any of the foregoing Sections
6.1(a) through 6.1(f) hereof, inclusive, which in the opinion of the
Corporation's Board of Directors, determined in good faith, would have a
material adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder at the time of a
conversion of the Preferred Stock.

         SECTION 6.2 EXERCISE OF CONVERSION PRIVILEGE. (a) Conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder by
telecopying an executed and completed notice of conversion in the form annexed
hereto as Annex I (the "CONVERSION NOTICE") to the Corporation. Each date on
which a Conversion Notice is telecopied to and received by the Corporation in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall constitute a Conversion
Date. The Corporation shall convert the Series A Preferred Stock and issue the
Common Stock Issued at Conversion effective as of the Conversion Date. The
Conversion Notice also shall state the name or names (with addresses) of the
persons who are to become the holders of the Common Stock issued at Conversion
in connection with such conversion. The Holder shall deliver the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock to the Corporation by express courier within 30 days
following the date on which the telecopied Conversion Notice has been
transmitted to the Corporation. Upon surrender for conversion, the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be accompanied by a proper assignment thereof to the
Corporation or be endorsed in blank. As promptly as practicable after the
receipt of the Conversion Notice as aforesaid, but in any event not more than
five Business Days after the Corporation's receipt of such Conversion Notice,
the Corporation shall (i) issue the Common Stock issued at Conversion in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 6, and (ii) cause to be mailed
for delivery by overnight courier to the Holder (X) a certificate or
certificate(s) representing the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is
entitled by virtue of such conversion, (Y) cash, as provided in Section 6.3, in
respect of any fraction of a Share issuable upon such conversion and (Z) cash or
shares in the amount of accrued and unpaid related dividends as of the
Conversion Date. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the
time at which the Conversion Notice indicates so long as the

<PAGE>   11

Series A Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered as aforesaid at such time,
and at such time the rights of the Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, as
such, shall cease and the Person and Persons in whose name or names the Common
Stock Issued at Conversion shall be issuable shall be deemed to have become the
holder or holders of record of the Common Shares represented thereby. The
Conversion Notice shall constitute a contract between the Holder and the
Corporation, whereby the Holder shall be deemed to subscribe for the number of
Common Shares which it will be entitled to receive upon such conversion and, in
payment and satisfaction of such subscription (and for any cash adjustment to
which it is entitled pursuant to Section 6.4), to surrender the Series A
Preferred Stock and to release the Corporation from all liability thereon. No
cash payment aggregating less than $1.00 shall be required to be given unless
specifically requested by the Holder.

                (b) Subject to Sections 6.1(a) and (b) if, at any time (i) the
Corporation challenges, disputes or denies the right of the Holder hereof to
effect the conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Shares or otherwise
dishonors or rejects any Conversion Notice delivered in accordance with this
Section 6.2 or (ii) any third party who is not and has never been an Affiliate
of the Holder commences any lawsuit or proceeding or otherwise asserts any claim
before any court or public or governmental authority which seeks to challenge,
deny, enjoin, limit, modify, delay or dispute the right of the Holder hereof to
effect the conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Shares, then the Holder
shall have the right, by written notice to the Corporation, to require the
Corporation to promptly redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for cash at a
redemption price equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Stated Value
thereof together with all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (the "MANDATORY
PURCHASE AMOUNT"). Under any of the circumstances set forth above, the
Corporation shall be responsible for the payment of all reasonable costs and
expenses of the Holder, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, as and
when incurred in disputing any such action or pursuing its rights hereunder (in
addition to any other rights of the Holder).

         SECTION 6.3 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Common Shares or scrip
representing fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional Common Shares which
otherwise would be issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the
Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount
equal to the same fraction. No cash payment of less than $1.00 shall be required
to be given unless specifically requested by the Holder.

         SECTION 6.4 RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR MANDATORY SHARE
EXCHANGE. At any time while the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding and
any shares thereof have not been converted, in case of any reclassification or
change of Outstanding Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value per share, or from no par value per share to par value or as a result of a
subdivision or combination of outstanding securities issuable upon conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock) or in case of any consolidation, merger or
mandatory share exchange of the Corporation with or into another corporation
(other than a merger or mandatory share exchange with another corporation in
which the Corporation is a continuing corporation and which does not result in
any reclassification or change, other than a change in par value, or from par
value to no par value per share, or from no par value per share to par value, or
as a result of a subdivision

<PAGE>   12

or combination of Outstanding Common Shares upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock), or in the case of any sale or transfer to another corporation
of the property of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety, the Corporation, or such successor, resulting or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, shall, without payment of any additional
consideration therefor, execute a new Series A Preferred Stock providing that
the Holder shall have the right to convert such new Series A Preferred Stock
(upon terms and conditions not less favorable to the Holder than those in effect
pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock) and to receive upon such exercise, in
lieu of each Common Share theretofore issuable upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money
or property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, mandatory share exchange, sale or transfer by the holder of one Common
Share issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock had the Series A
Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, mandatory share exchange or sale or transfer. The
provisions of this Section 6.4 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, mandatory share exchanges
and sales and transfers.

         SECTION 6.5 ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION RATIO. For so long as any shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, if the Corporation (i) issues
and sells pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act
(A) Common Shares at a purchase price on the date of issuance thereof that is
lower than the Conversion Price, (B) warrants or options with an exercise price
representing a percentage of the Current Market Price with an exercise price on
the date of issuance of the warrants or options that is lower than the
Conversion Price, except for employee stock option agreements or stock incentive
agreements of the Corporation, or (C) convertible, exchangeable or exercisable
securities with a right to exchange at lower than the Current Market Price on
the date of issuance or conversion, as applicable, of such convertible,
exchangeable or exercisable securities, except for stock option agreements or
stock incentive agreements; and (ii) grants the right to the purchaser(s)
thereof to demand that the Corporation register under the Securities Act such
Common Shares issued or the Common Shares for which such warrants or options may
be exercised or such convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities may be
converted, exercised or exchanged, then the Conversion Ratio shall be reduced to
equal the lowest of any such lower rates.

         SECTION 6.6 MANDATORY CONVERSION. On the third anniversary of the
filing of this Certificate of Designation (the "MANDATORY CONVERSION DATE"), the
Corporation shall convert all Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the
Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, in no event shall the
Corporation convert that portion of the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent
that the issuance of Common Shares upon conversion of such Series A Preferred
Stock, when combined with shares of Common Shares received upon other
conversions of Series A Preferred Stock by such Holder and any other holders of
Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants, would exceed 19.99% of the Common Stock
outstanding on the Mandatory Conversion Date, unless the Corporation's
shareholders approve the issuance of an amount of the Corporation's Common Stock
in excess of the 19.99% threshold. Within ten (10) Business Days after the
Mandatory Conversion Date, the Corporation shall redeem all remaining
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock in excess of the 19.99% threshold
at one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the Stated Value thereof, together
with all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, in cash, to the date of
redemption.

                                  VOTING RIGHTS

         The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no voting power,
except as otherwise provided by the Colorado Business Corporation Act ("CBCA"),
in this Article 7, and in Article 8 below.

         Notwithstanding the above, the Corporation shall provide each holder of
Series A Preferred Stock with prior notification of any meeting of the
shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to
shareholders). In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of its
shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to
receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe
for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation or
recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or
to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who
are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall mail a notice to each
holder, at least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the transaction
or event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such acting is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and
a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time.

         To the extent that under the CBCA the vote of the holders of the Series
A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class or series as applicable, is
required to authorize a given action of the Corporation, the affirmative vote or
consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present
or by written consent of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
(except as otherwise may be required under the CBCA) shall constitute the
approval of such action by the class. To the extent that under the CBCA holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of
Common Stock, voting together as one class, each share of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock into which it is then convertible using the record date for the
taking of such vote of shareholders as the date as of which the Conversion Price
is calculated. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
notice of all shareholder meetings or written consents (and copies of proxy
materials and other information sent to shareholders) with respect to which they
would be entitled tonight, which notice would be provided pursuant to the
Corporation's bylaws and the CBCA.

                                    ARTICLE 8

         SECTION 8.1 RESTRICTIONS. So long as shares of Series A Preferred Stock
are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval
(by vote or written consent, as provided by the CBCA) of the holders of at least
a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock:

<PAGE>   14

                (a) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the
Series A Preferred Stock;

                (b) create any new class or series of capital stock having a
preference over the Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation ("Senior Securities")
or alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of any Senior
Securities so as to affect adversely the Series A Preferred Stock;

                (c) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock;

                (d) issue or sell to any Person other than the Holder shares of
Series A Preferred Stock; or

                (e) do any act or thing not authorized or contemplated by this
Certificate of Designation which would result in taxation of the holders of
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (or any comparable provision of the Internal Revenue
Code as hereafter from time to time amended).

         SECTION 8.2 DISSENTING HOLDER'S CONVERSION RIGHTS. In the event holders
of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock agree to allow the Corporation to alter or change the rights, preferences
or privileges of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, pursuant to Section
8.1(a) above, so as to affect the Series A Preferred Stock, then the Corporation
will deliver notice of such approved change to the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock that did not agree to such alteration or change (the "DISSENTING
HOLDERS") and Dissenting Holders shall have the right for a period of thirty
(30) days to convert pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation as
they exist prior to such alteration or change or continue to hold their shares
of Series A Preferred Stock.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 9.1 LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OF PREFERRED STOCK. Upon receipt
of evidence satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and, in the case of any such
loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to the Corporation, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation
shall make, issue and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated shares of Series A Preferred Stock, new shares of Series A Preferred
Stock of like tenor. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be held and owned upon
the express condition that the provisions of this Section 9.1 are exclusive with
respect to the replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen shares of
Series A Preferred Stock and shall preclude any and all other rights and
remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the
contrary with respect to the replacement of negotiable instruments or other
securities without the surrender thereof.

         SECTION 9.2 WHO DEEMED ABSOLUTE OWNER. The Corporation may deem the

registry books of the

Corporation to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of the Series A
Preferred Stock for the purpose of receiving payment of dividends on the Series
A Preferred Stock, for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and for
all other purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice to
the contrary. All such payments and such conversion shall be valid and effectual
to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Series A Preferred Stock to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid or the conversion so made.

         SECTION 9.3 NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. In the case of the occurrence of
any event described in Sections 6.1, 6.6 or 6.7 of this Certificate of
Designation, the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to the Holder of the
Series A Preferred Stock at its last address as it appears in the Corporation's
security registry, at least twenty (20) days prior to the applicable record,
effective or expiration date hereinafter specified (or, if such twenty (20) days
notice is not possible, at the earliest possible date prior to any such record,
effective or expiration date), a notice stating (x) the date on which a record
is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, issuance or
granting of rights, options or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the
date as of which the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock to be
entitled to such dividend, distribution, issuance or granting of rights, options
or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is
expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that
holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to exchange their
shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale transfer, dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up.

         SECTION 9.4 REGISTER. The Corporation shall keep at its principal
office a register in which the Corporation shall provide for the registration of
the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon any transfer of the Series A Preferred Stock
in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Corporation shall register such

Preferred Stock shall be registered upon the registry books of the Corporation
to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of the Series A Preferred Stock
for the purpose of receiving payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred
Stock, for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and for all other
purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary. All such payments and such conversions shall be valid and effective to

jurisdiction over the Corporation from any payments made pursuant to the Series

                                   ARTICLE II

                                  SHAREHOLDERS

         Section 2.1. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the shareholders
shall be held on such day as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors,
commencing with the year 1986, at a time to be fixed by the Board of Directors,
for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other
business as may come before the meeting. If the day fixed for the annual meeting
shall be a legal holiday in the State of Colorado such meeting shall be held on
the next succeeding business day. If the election of directors shall not be held
on the day designated herein for any annual meeting of the shareholders, or at
any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be
held at a special meeting of the shareholders as soon thereafter as may be
convenient.

         Section 2.2. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the shareholders,
for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise proscribed by statute, may be
called by the President or by the Board of Directors, and shall be called by the
President at the request of the holders of not less than one-tenth of all
outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting.

         Section 2.3. PLACE OF MEETINGS. The Board of Directors may designate
any place, either within or without the State of Colorado, as the place of
meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the Board of
Directors or the President. If no designation is made, or if a special meeting
is otherwise called, the place of meeting first shall be the principal office of
the corporation in the State of Colorado, if any, and second, the principal
office of the Corporation.

         Section 2.4. NOTICE OF MEETING. Written notice stating the place, day
and hour of the meeting of shareholders and, in case of a special meeting, the
purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall, unless otherwise
prescribed by statute, be delivered not less than ten nor more than fifty days
before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the
direction of the President, the Secretary, or the office or person calling the
meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting;
provided, however, that if the authorized shares of the corporation are to be
increased, at least thirty days' notice shall be given, and if sale of all or
substantially all assets are to be voted upon, at least twenty days' notice
shall be given to each shareholder of record. If mailed, such notice shall be
deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to
the shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the
corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

         Section 2.5. CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS OR FIXING OF RECORD DATE. For
the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to
receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of
shareholders for any other purpose, the Board of Directors of the corporation
may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated period
but not to exceed, in any case, fifty days. If the stock transfer books shall be
closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to
vote at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten
days immediately preceding such

<PAGE>   18

meeting. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may
fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of
shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than fifty days and, in case
of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten days prior to the date on which
the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be
taken. If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed
for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a
meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a
dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which
the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as
the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of
shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any
meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such
determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

         Section 2.6. VOTING RECORD. The officer or agent having charge of the
stock transfer books for shares of the corporation shall make, at least ten days
before each meeting of shareholders, a complete record of the shareholders
entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in
alphabetical order, with the address of, and the number of shares held by, each.
The record, for a period of ten days before such meeting, shall be kept on file
at the principal office of the corporation, whether within or without the State
of Colorado, and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder for any
purpose germane to the meeting at any time during usual business hours. Such
record shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting
and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time
of the meeting for any purpose germane to the meeting. The original stock
transfer books shall be the prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders
entitled to examine such record or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of
shareholders.

         Section 2.7 QUORUM. One-third of the outstanding shares of the
corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders. If a quorum is not
represented at any meeting of the shareholders, a majority of the shares so
represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time for a period not to exceed
sixty days without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum
is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. The shareholders present at a
duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a
quorum.

         Section 2.8. MANNER OF ACTING. If a quorum is present, the affirmative
vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to
vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote
of a greater proportion or number or voting by classes is otherwise required by
the Colorado Corporation Code or the Articles of Incorporation.

         Section 2.9. PROXIES. At all meetings of shareholders a shareholder may
vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by
his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the
Secretary of the corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy
shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution unless
otherwise provided in the proxy.

                                       2
<PAGE>   19

         Section 2.10. VOTING OF SHARES. Unless otherwise provided in the
Articles of Incorporation, each outstanding share, regardless of class, is
entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of the
shareholders, and each fractional share is entitled to a corresponding
fractional vote on each such matter.

         Section 2.11. VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN SHAREHOLDERS. Shares standing
in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such
officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in
the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such other
corporation may determine.

         Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator, may
be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares
into his name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him,
either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares
held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name.

         Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such
receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by
such receiver without the transfer thereof into his name if authority to do so
is contain in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was
appointed.

         A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such
shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and
thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

         Neither treasury shares nor shares held by another corporation if the
majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such
other corporation is held by this corporation shall be voted, directly or
indirectly, at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of
outstanding shares at any given time.

         Redeemable shares which have been called for redemption shall not be
entitled to vote on any matter and shall not be deemed outstanding shares on and
after the date on which written notice of redemption has been mailed to
shareholders and a sum sufficient to redeem such shares has been deposited with
a bank or trust company with irrevocable instruction and authority to pay the
redemption price to the holders of the shares upon surrender of certificates
therefor.

                                   ARTICLE IX

             SHARES, CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES AND TRANSFER OF SHARES

         Section 9.1. REGULATION. The Board of Directors may make such rules and
regulations as it ma deem appropriate concerning the issuance, transfer and
registration of certificates for shares of the corporation, including the
appointment of transfer agents and registrars.

         Section 9.2. CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES. Certificates representing shares
of the corporation shall be numbered serially for each class of shares, or
series thereof, as they are issued, shall be impressed with the corporate seal
or a facsimile thereof, and shall be signed by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of
the Board of Directors or by the President or a Vice President and by the
Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or by the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary. Any or all of the signatures upon a certificate may be facsimiles if
the certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent, or registered by a
registrar other than the corporation itself or an employee of the corporation.

         Each certificate representing shares shall state upon the face thereof:
the name of the corporation; that the corporation is organized under the laws of
the State of Colorado; the name of the person to whom issued; the date of issue;
the number and class of shares and the designation of series, if any, which such
certificate represents; and the par value of each share represented by such
certificate, or a statement that the shares are without par value.

         Each certificate representing shares issued by the corporation shall
set forth upon the face or back of the certificate or shall state that the
corporation will furnish to any shareholder upon request and without charge a
full statement of the designations, preferences, limitations, and relative
rights of the shares of each class authorized to be issued and the variations in
the relative rights and preferences between the shares of each series of
preferred or special class of shares, so far as the same have been fixed and
determined, and the authority of the Board of Directors to fix and determine the
relative rights and preferences of subsequent series.

         Each certificate shall be otherwise in such form as may be prescribed
by the Board of Directors and as shall conform to the rules of any stock
exchange on which the shares may be listed.

                                       4

         No certificate shall be issued for any shares until such share is fully
paid.

         The corporation may issue fractions of a share, arrange for the
disposition of fractional interests by those entitled thereto, pay in cash the
fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive
such fractions are determined, or issue scrip in registered or bearer form which
shall entitle the holder to receive a certificate for a full share upon the
surrender of such scrip aggregating a full share. A certificate for a fractional
share shall, but scrip shall not unless otherwise provided therein, entitle the
holder to exercise voting rights, to receive dividends thereon, and to
participate in any of the assets of the corporation in the event of liquidation.
The Board of Directors may cause such scrip to be issued subject to the
condition that it shall become void if not exchanged for certificates
representing full shares before a specified date, or subject to the condition
that the shares for which such scrip is exchangeable may be sold by the
corporation and the proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of such scrip,
or subject to any other conditions which the Board of Directors may deem
advisable.

         Section 9.3. CANCELLATION OF CERTIFICATES. All certificates surrendered
to the corporation for transfer shall be cancelled and no new certificates shall
be issued in lieu thereof until the former certificate for a like number of
shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled, except as herein provided with
respect to lost, stolen or destroyed certificates.

         Section 9.4. LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. Any shareholder
claiming that his certificate for shares is lost, stolen or destroyed may make
an affidavit or affirmation of that fact and lodge the same with the Secretary
of the corporation, accompanied by a signed application for a new certificate.
Thereupon, and upon the giving of a satisfactory bond of indemnity to the
corporation not exceeding an amount double the value of the shares as
represented by such certificate (the necessity for such bond and the amount
required to be determined by the President and Treasurer of the corporation), a
new certificate may be issued of the same tenor and representing the same
number, class and series of shares as were represented by the certificate
alleged to be lost, stolen or destroyed.

         Section 9.5. TRANSFER OF SHARES. Subject to the terms of any
shareholder agreement relating to the transfer of shares or other transfer
restrictions contained in the Articles of Incorporation or authorized therein,
shares of the corporation shall be transferable on the books of the corporation
by the holder thereof in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon the
surrender and cancellation of a certificate or certificates for a like number of
shares. Upon presentation and surrender of a certificate for shares properly
endorsed and payment of all taxes therefor, the transferee shall be entitled to
a new certificate or certificates in lieu thereof. As against the corporation, a
transfer of shares can be made only on the books of the corporation and in the
manner herein above provided, and the corporation shall be entitled to treat the
holder of record of any share as the owner thereof and shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share on the part
of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice
thereof, save as expressly provided by the statutes of the State of Colorado.

may be altered, amended or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted by a majority
of the directors present at any meeting of the Board of Directors of the
corporation at which a quorum is present.
