     4. Convertibility Rights.

          (a) Mandatory Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall
be  automatically   converted  into  one  (1)  share  of  Common  Stock  of  the
Corporation,  taking into account any  appropriate  adjustments  under paragraph
4(c)  below,  upon the filing of the  amendment  to the  company's  Articles  of
Incorporation increasing its authorized common stock to 75,000,000 shares.

          (b) Mechanics of Conversion.  Upon  notification by the Corporation of
the amendment to its Articles described in Section 4(a), above each holder shall
(i)  surrender  his or her  certificates  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  being
converted by such holder, duly endorsed and with signatures  guaranteed,  at the
principal  office of the  Corporation in the State of Colorado (or at such other

<PAGE>

Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter,  issue and deliver at such
office to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock (or his or her nominee) one or
more  certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder
is entitled.  Upon filing of the amendment to the Corporation's  Articles,  each
certificate representing Series A Preferred Stock shall represent the right only

A Preferred Stock certificates.

          (c)  Adjustments  for Changes in  Capitalization.  In the event of any
increase or decrease in the number of the issued and  outstanding  shares of the
Corporation's  Common stock by reason of a stock dividend,  stock  split-reverse
stock split or  consolidation  or combination of shares and the like at any time
or from time to time after the date hereof such that the holders of Common Stock
shall have had an adjustment made, without payment  therefore,  in the number of
shares of Common  Stock  owned by them or, on or after the record date fixed for
the  determination  of  eligible  shareholders,  shall have  become  entitled or
required to have had an adjustment  made in the number of shares of Common Stock
owned  by  them,  without  payment  therefor,  there  shall  be a  corresponding
adjustment as to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion
of each share of Series A  Preferred  Stock with the  result  that the  holder's
proportionate  interest in the Common  Stock shall be  maintained  as before the
occurrence  of  such  event.  If  the   Corporation   shall  effect  a  plan  of
recapitalization,   reclassification,   reorganization  or  other  like  capital
transaction or shall merge or consolidate with or into any other  corporation or
convey all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation at any time
or from  time to time on or after  the date  hereof,  then in each such case the
holder,  upon the  conversion of Series A Preferred  Stock at any time after the
consummation of such recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or other
like capital transaction or of such merger,  consolidation or conveyance,  shall
be  entitled to receive (in lieu of the  securities  or other  property to which
such holder would have been  entitled to receive upon  conversion  prior to such
consummation),  the securities or other property to which such holder would have
been entitled to have received upon  consummation of the subject  transaction if
the holder hereof had converted the Series A Preferred Stock  immediately  prior
to  such  consummation,  but  subject  to  further  adjustment  pursuant  to the
immediately preceding sentence.

          (d)  Liquidation  Value.  Upon the conversion of any share of Series A
Preferred  Stock,  the holder  thereof  shall  forfeit  his right to receive the
Stated Value of such share, and the Corporation thereafter shall not be required
to pay at any time,  nor shall the  holder of such  converted  share of Series A
Preferred Stock have any claim to, the Stated Value of such share.

          (e) No Dividends.  Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall
not be entitled to receive dividends with respect to such shares.

          (a) The  holders  of  shares  of  Series A  Preferred  Stock  shall be
entitled to vote on matters coming before the  shareholders of the  corporation,
with each share of Series A Preferred  Stock  having a number of votes from time
to time equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share then
is convertible (i.e.,  initially each share of Series A preferred Stock shall be
entitled to one (1) vote),  voting by holders of Series A Preferred  Stock shall
be together  with the holders of the Common  Stock,  and the holders of Series A
Preferred  Stock  shall have no right to vote as a class  except to the extent a

office in the  State of  Colorado  (or at such  other  place as the  Corporation
reasonably  designates)  a register for the  registration  of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock. Upon the surrender,  of any certificate  representing shares of
Series A Preferred Stock at such place, the Corporation shall, at the request of
the registered holder of such certificate, execute and deliver a new certificate
or certificates in exchange  therefore  representing in the aggregate the number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate
(and the corporation forthwith shall cancel such surrendered certificate subject
to the  requirements  of applicable  securities  laws. Each such new certificate
shall be  registered in such name and shall  represent  such number of shares of
Series A Preferred  Stock as shall be requested by the holder of the surrendered
certificate  and shall be  substantially  identical  in form to the  surrendered
certificate.  The issuance of new  certificates  shall be made without charge to
the  holders of the  surrendered  certificates  or any  issuance  tax in respect
thereof  or other cost  incurred  by the  Corporation  in  connection  with such
issuance;  provided  that the  Corporation  shall not be required to pay any tax
which may be payable in respect of any  transfer  involved in the  issuance  and
delivery  of any  certificate  in a name  other  than that of the  holder of the
surrendered certificate.

     8. Replacement.

          (a)  Upon  receipt  of  evidence   reasonably   satisfactory   to  the
Corporation of the ownership and the loss,  theft,  destruction or mutilation of
any  certificate  evidencing one or more shares of Series A Preferred Stock and,
in the case of any such loss,  theft or  destruction,  upon receipt of indemnity
and/or a bond reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or, in the case of any
such mutilation,  upon surrender of such certificate,  the Corporation shall (at
its expense)  execute and deliver in lieu of such  certificate a new certificate
of like kind representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock

                                       4

mutilated  certificate  at the  rate  and  in  the  manner  applicable  to  such
certificate.

          (b) The term  "outstanding"  when used herein with reference to shares
of Series A Preferred Stock as of any particular time shall not include any such
shares  represented by any  certificate in lieu of which a new  certificate  has
been executed and delivered by the Corporation in accordance with paragraph 7 or
this  paragraph 8, but shall include only those shares  represented  by such new
certificate.

     9.  Amendment  and  Waiver.  No  amendment,  modification  or waiver of any
provision hereof shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly amended,
modified or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing,
