     RESOLVED,  that  pursuant  to  the  authority  conferred  upon the Board of
Directors  by  the  Articles  of  Incorporation,  the  Series  A  Convertible
Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $.00l ("Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock"),  is  hereby authorized and created, said series to consist of up to 600
shares,  with  a  stated  value  of  $1,000.00 per share of Series A Convertible
Preferred  Stock.  The  voting  powers, preferences and relative, participating,
optional  and  other  special  rights,  and  the  qualifications, limitations or
restrictions  thereof  shall  be  as  follows:

     1.     NO  DIVIDENDS  ON SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK.    There are
            -------------------------------------------------------
no  dividends  on  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock.

     2.     CONVERSION OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK INTO COMMON STOCK
            --------------------------------------------------------------------

          (a) Each holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may,
     at  his  option  and  at any time and from time to time, convert any or all
     such shares, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Corporation's
     Common  Stock  at  a conversion ratio of 233,975 shares of Common Stock for
     each  share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Fractional conversions
     are  permitted.

          (b)  To exercise his conversion privilege, the holder of any shares of
     Series  A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock shall surrender to the Corporation
     during  regular  business  hours  at the principal executive offices of the
     Corporation  or  the  offices  of  the  transfer  agent  for  the  Series A
     Convertible  Preferred Stock or at such other place as may be designated by
     the  Corporation,  the  certificate  or  certificates  for the shares to be
     converted,  duly  endorsed  for transfer to the Corporation (if required by
     it),  accompanied  by  written  notice  stating that the holder irrevocably
     elects  to  convert  such  shares.  Conversion shall be deemed to have been
     effected  on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred
     to  herein  as  the  "Conversion Date." Within five (5) business days after

<PAGE>
     the  date  on  which such delivery is made, the Corporation shall issue and
     send  (with  receipt  to  be  acknowledged)  to  the  holder thereof or the
     holder's  designee, at the address designated by such holder, a certificate
     or  certificates  for  the  number  of full and fractional shares of Common
     Stock  to  which the holder is entitled as a result of such conversion. The
     holder shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record of the number
     of  shares  of  Common  Stock into which the shares of Series A Convertible
     Preferred  Stock  have  been  converted  on  the applicable Conversion Date
     unless  the  transfer  books of the Corporation are closed on that date, in
     which  event  he  shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record of
     such  shares  on  the  next succeeding date on which the transfer books are
     open. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series A
     Convertible  Preferred  Stock  represented by a certificate or certificates
     surrendered for conversion, the Corporation shall within three (3) business
     days  after  the  date on which such delivery is made, issue and send (with
     receipt to be acknowledged) to the holder thereof or the holder's designee,
     at  the  address  designated by such holder, a new certificate covering the
     number  of  shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock representing the
     unconverted  portion  of  the  certificate  or certificates so surrendered.

          (c)  The  Corporation  shall  at  all  times  reserve for issuance and
     maintain available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely
     for  the  purpose  of  effecting the conversion of the Series A Convertible
     Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon
     the  conversion  of  all  Series A Convertible Preferred Stock from time to
     time  outstanding.  The  Corporation  shall  from  time to time (subject to
     obtaining  necessary  director  and stockholder action), in accordance with
     the  laws  of the State of Nevada, increase the authorized number of shares
     of  its  Common Stock if at any time the authorized number of shares of its
     Common  Stock  remaining  unissued  shall  not  be sufficient to permit the
     conversion  of all of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at
     the  time  outstanding.

          (d)  If  any  shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of
     conversion  of  shares  of  Series  A  Convertible  Preferred Stock require
     registration  or listing with, or approval of, any governmental authority.,
     stock  exchange  or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or
     regulation or otherwise, including registration under the Securities Act of
     1933, as amended, and appropriate state securities laws, before such shares
     may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Corporation will in
     good faith and as expeditiously as possible meet such registration, listing
     or  approval,  as  the  case  may  be.

          (e)  All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of
     the  shares  of  Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will upon issuance by
     the  Corporation  be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free
     from  all  taxes,  liens  and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

          (f)  In  case any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall
     be  converted  pursuant  hereto,  or purchased or otherwise acquired by the
     Corporation,  the  shares  so  converted,  purchased  or  acquired shall be

                                        2
<PAGE>
     restored  to  the  status  of  authorized  but unissued shares of preferred
     stock,  without  designation  as  to class or series, and may thereafter be
     reissued,  but  not  as  shares  of  Series  A Convertible Preferred Stock.

          (g)  The  conversion ratio of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
     into  Common  Stock  of the Corporation shall be subject to adjustment from
     time  to  time  as  follows:

          (i)  Stock  Splits,  Dividends and Combinations. In the event that the
Corporation  shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
or shall pay or make a dividend or distribution on any class of capital stock of
the  Corporation  in  Common  Stock,  the conversion ratio in effect immediately
prior  to  such  subdivision  or  the  issuance  of  such  dividend  shall  be
proportionately decreased, and in case the Corporation shall at any time combine
the  outstanding  shares  of  Common  Stock,  the  conversion  ratio  in  effect
immediately  prior  to  such  combination  shall  be  proportionately increased,
effective  at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, dividend or
combination,  as  the  case  may  be.

          (ii) Non-Cash Dividends, Stock Purchase Rights, Capital Reorganization
and  dissolutions.  In  the  event:

                    receive  a  dividend,  or  any  other  distribution, payable
                    otherwise  than  in  cash;  or

               (b)  that  the  Corporation shall take a record of the holders of
                    its  Common  Stock  for  the  purpose  of  entitling them to
                    subscribe  for  or purchase any shares of stock of any class
                    or  other  securities,  or  to  receive any other rights; or

               (c)  of  any  capital  reorganization  of  the  Corporation,
                    reclassification  of  the  capital  stock of the Corporation
                    (other  than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding
                    shares  of  Common  Stock),  consolidation  or merger of the
                    Corporation with or into another corporation, share exchange
                    for  all  outstanding shares of Common Stock under a plan of
                    exchange  to which the Corporation is a party, or conveyance
                    of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation
                    to  another  corporation;  or

               (d)  of  the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
                    winding  up  of  the  Corporation;

          then,  and  in any such case, the Corporation shall cause to be mailed

          Preferred  Stock,  at  least  10  days  prior  to the date hereinafter
