corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation for its
benefit as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its
representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall
be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under
the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada from time to time against all
expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgements, fines and
amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him
in connection herewith. The expenses of officers and directors incurred
defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the
corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of
the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right which may
be enforced in any manner desired by the person. Such right of indemnification
shall not be exclusive of any other right which such directors, officers or
representatives may have or hereafter acquire and, without limiting the
generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights
of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, provision
of law or otherwise, as well as their rights by this Article.

        The Board of Directors may cause the corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability
asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of
such status, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
such person.

        The Board of Directors may from time to time adopt further Bylaws with
respect to indemnification and may amend these and such Bylaws to provide at all
times the fullest indemnification permitted by the General Corporation Law of
the State of Nevada.
