                                    ARTICLE I

                                  Stockholders

     SECTION 1. ANNUAL MEETING. Annual meetings of the Stockholders,  commencing
with the year  2000,  shall be held on the 7th day of March  each  year if not a
legal holiday and, if a legal  holiday,  then on the next secular day following,
or at such other time as may be set by the Board of Directors from time to time,
at which the Stockholders  shall elect by vote a Board of Directors and transact
such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

     SECTION 2. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Stockholders,  for any
purpose or purposes,  unless otherwise  prescribed by statute or by the Articles
of Incorporation,  may be called by the President or the Secretary by resolution
of the Board of Directors or at the request in writing of Stockholders  owning a
majority in amount of the entire  capital  stock of the  Corporation  issued and
outstanding  and entitled to vote.  Such request  shall state the purpose of the
proposed meeting.

     SECTION 3. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All annual meetings of the Stockholders shall
be held at the  registered  office of the  Corporation  or at such  other  place
within or without the State of Nevada as the Directors shall determine.  Special
meetings  of the  Stockholders  may be held at such  time and  place  within  or

     SECTION 4.  QUORUM;  ADJOURNED  MEETINGS.  The holders of a majority of the
Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat,  present in person or
represented  by  proxy,  shall  constitute  a  quorum  at  all  meetings  of the
Stockholders  for the  transaction of business  except as otherwise  provided by
statute or by the Articles of Incorporation.  If, however, such quorum shall not
be present or represented at any meeting of the  Stockholders,  the Stockholders
entitled to vote thereat,  present in person or represented by proxy, shall have
the power to adjourn the meeting  from time to time,  without  notice other than
announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented.  At
such adjourned  meeting at which a quorum shall be present or  represented,  any
business may be  transacted  which might have been  transacted at the meeting as
originally notified.

     SECTION 5. VOTING.  Each  Stockholder of record of the Corporation  holding
Stock  which is  entitled  to vote at this  meeting  shall be  entitled  at each
meeting of Stockholders to one vote for each share of Stock standing in his name
on the books of the Corporation.  Upon the demand of any  Stockholder,  the vote
for  Directors  and the vote upon any  question  before the meeting  shall be by
ballot.

     When a quorum is present or  represented  at any  meeting,  the vote of the
holders of a majority  of the Stock  having  voting  power  present in person or
represented  by proxy shall be  sufficient  to elect  Directors or to decide any
question  brought before such meeting,  unless the question is one upon which by
express  provision  of the  statutes  or of the  Articles  of  Incorporation,  a
different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and
control the decision of such question.

     SECTION 6. PROXIES.  At any meeting of the Stockholders any Stockholder may
be  represented  and vote by a proxy or proxies  appointed by an  instrument  in
writing. In the event that any such instrument in writing shall designate two or
more  persons to act as  proxies,  a  majority  of such  persons  present at the
meeting,  or, if only one  shall be  present,  then that one shall  have and may
exercise all of the powers conferred by such written  instrument upon all of the
persons so designated unless the instrument shall otherwise provide. No proxy or
power of attorney to vote shall be used to vote at a meeting of the Stockholders
unless it shall have been filed with the secretary of the meeting. All questions

                                        2
<PAGE>
regarding  the  qualification  of  voters,  the  validity  of  proxies  and  the
acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided by the  inspectors of election
who shall be appointed by the Board of Directors,  or if not so appointed,  then
by the presiding Officer of the meeting.

     SECTION 7. ACTION  WITHOUT  MEETING.  Any action  which may be taken by the
vote of the  Stockholders  at a  meeting  may be  taken  without  a  meeting  if
authorized by the written consent of Stockholders holding at least a majority of
the voting  power,  unless the  provisions of the statutes or of the Articles of
Incorporation  require a greater  proportion  of voting power to authorize  such
action in which  case such  greater  proportion  of  written  consents  shall be
required.

                                   ARTICLES II

                                    Directors

     SECTION 1. MANAGEMENT OF CORPORATION. The business of the Corporation shall
be managed by its Board of  Directors  which may exercise all such powers of the
Corporation  and do all such  lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by
the  Articles of  Incorporation  or by these  Bylaws  directed or required to be
exercised or done by the Stockholders.

     SECTION 2.  NUMBER,  TENURE,  AND  QUALIFICATIONS.  The number of Directors
which shall  constitute  the whole  board  shall be at least one.  The number of
Directors  may from time to time be  increased or decreased to not less than one
nor more than fifteen.  The Directors  shall be elected at the annual meeting of
the  Stockholders  and except as  provided  in Section 2 of this  Article,  each
Director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified.
Directors need not be Stockholders.

     SECTION 3. VACANCIES.  Vacancies in the Board of Directors  including those
caused by an increase in the number of Directors, may be filled by a majority of
the  remaining  Directors,  though  less than a quorum,  or by a sole  remaining
Director,  and each Director so elected shall hold office until his successor is
elected at an annual or a special  meeting of the  Stockholders.  The holders of
two-thirds of the  outstanding  shares of Stock entitled to vote may at any time
peremptorily terminate the term of office of all or any of the Directors by vote
at a meeting  called for such purpose or by a written  statement  filed with the
secretary  or, in his absence,  with any other  Officer.  Such removal  shall be
effective immediately, even if successors are not elected simultaneously.

<PAGE>
     A vacancy or vacancies  in the Board of Directors  shall be deemed to exist
in case  of the  death,  resignation  or  removal  of any  Directors,  or if the
authorized number of Directors be increased,  or if the Stockholders fail at any
annual or special meeting of Stockholders at which any Director or Directors are
elected to elect the full authorized number of Directors to be voted for at that
meeting.

     If the Board of Directors accepts the resignation of a Director tendered to
take effect at a future time, the Board or the Stockholders  shall have power to
elect a successor to take office when the resignation is to become effective. No
reduction  of the  authorized  number  of  Directors  shall  have the  effect of
removing any Director prior to the expiration of his term of office.

     SECTION 4. ANNUAL AND REGULAR  MEETINGS.  Regular  meetings of the Board of
Directors  shall be held at any place within or without the State which has been
designated from time to time by resolution of the Board or by written consent of
all members of the Board. In the absence of such  designation  regular  meetings
shall be held at the registered  office of the Corporation.  Special meetings of
the  Board  may be held  either at a place so  designated  or at the  registered
office.

     Regular  meetings of the Board of  Directors  may be held  without  call or
notice  at such time and at such  place as shall  from time to time be fixed and
determined by the Board of Directors.

     SECTION 5. FIRST MEETING.  The first meeting of each newly elected Board of
Directors shall be held immediately  following the adjournment of the meeting of
Stockholders  and at the  place  thereof.  No notice  of such  meeting  shall be
necessary to the Directors in order legally to constitute the meeting,  provided
a quorum be present.  In the event such meeting is not so held,  the meeting may
be held at such  time  and  place as shall  be  specified  in a notice  given as
hereinafter provided for special meetings of the Board of Directors.

two Directors.

     Written notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered
personally to each  Director,  or sent to each Director by mail or by other form
of written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to him at his address as it
is shown upon the records or if such  address is not readily  ascertainable,  at
the place in which the meetings of the  Directors  are  regularly  held. In case
such notice is mailed or telegraphed, it shall be deposited in the United States
mail or delivered to the telegraph  company at least three (3) days prior to the
time of the holding of the  meeting.  In case such notice is hand  delivered  as
above provided,  it shall be so delivered at least  twenty-four (24) hours prior
to the  time of the  holding  of the  meeting.  Such  mailing,  telegraphing  or
delivery  as above  provided  shall be due,  legal and  personal  notice to such
Director.

     SECTION 7.  BUSINESS OF MEETINGS.  The  transactions  of any meeting of the
Board of Directors,  however  called and noticed or wherever  held,  shall be as
valid as though had at a meeting duly held after  regular call and notice,  if a
quorum be  present,  and if,  either  before or after the  meeting,  each of the
Directors not present signs a written waiver of notice,  or a consent to holding
such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers,  consents
or  approvals  shall be filed with the  corporate  records or made a part of the
minutes of the meeting.

     SECTION 8. QUORUM;  ADJOURNED MEETINGS. A majority of the authorized number
of Directors  shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the  transaction  of
business,  except to adjourn as hereinafter provided. Every act or decision done
or made by a majority of the Directors present at a meeting duly held at which a
quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board of Directors, unless
a greater  number be required by law or by the  Articles of  Incorporation.  Any
action of a majority, although not at a regularly called meeting, and the record
thereof,  if  assented  to in writing  by all of the other  members of the Board
shall be as valid and  effective  in all  respects  as if passed by the Board in
regular meeting.

     A quorum of the Directors  may adjourn any Directors  meeting to meet again
at a stated day and hour; provided,  however, that in the absence of a quorum, a
majority of the Directors  present at any Directors  meeting,  either regular or
special, may adjourn from time to time until the time fixed for the next regular
meeting of the Board.

     Notice of the time and place of holding an  adjourned  meeting  need not be
given to the  absent  Directors  if the time and  place be fixed at the  meeting
adjourned.

     SECTION 9. COMMITTEES. The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by
a majority of the whole Board,  designate one or more committees of the Board of
Directors, each committee to consist of at least one or more of the Directors of
the Corporation which, to the extent provided in the resolution,  shall have and
may  exercise  the  power of the Board of  Directors  in the  management  of the
business and affairs of the Corporation and may have power to authorize the seal
of the  Corporation  to be affixed  to all papers  which may  require  it.  Such
committee or committees  shall have such name or names as may be determined from
time to time by the  Board of  Directors.  The  members  of any  such  committee
present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting may, whether or not they
constitute  a  quorum,  unanimously  appoint  another  member  of the  Board  of
Directors  to act at the  meeting  in the place of any  absent  or  disqualified
member.  At meetings of such committees,  a majority of the members or alternate
members shall  constitute a quorum for the transaction of business,  and the act
of a majority of the members or alternate  members at any meeting at which there
is a quorum shall be the act of the committee.

     The committees  shall keep regular minutes of their  proceedings and report
the same to the Board of Directors.

     SECTION 10. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.  Any action required or permitted to be
taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any  committee  thereof may
be taken without a meeting if a written consent thereto is signed by all members
of the Board of  Directors  or of such  committee,  as the case may be, and such
written  consent  is filed  with the  minutes  of  proceedings  of the  Board or
committee.

                                        6
<PAGE>
     SECTION 11. SPECIAL COMPENSATION.  The Directors may be paid their expenses
of  attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed
sum for  attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary
as Director.  No such  payment  shall  preclude  any  Director  from serving the
Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation  therefor.  Members
of  special  or  standing  committees  may be  allowed  like  reimbursement  and
compensation for attending committee meetings.

                                   ARTICLE III

Secretary or by such other person or persons as the Directors  shall  designate.
Such notice  shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called
and the time and the place,  which may be within or without this State, where it
is to be held. A copy of such notice shall be either delivered  personally to or
shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each Stockholder of record entitled to vote
at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before such
meeting.  If mailed,  it shall be directed to a Stockholder at his address as it

notice,  the service  thereof shall be complete and the time of the notice shall
begin to run from the date upon which such notice is  deposited  in the mail for
transmission to such  Stockholder.  Personal  delivery of any such notice to any
Officer of a Corporation or association, or to any member of a partnership shall
constitute  delivery  of  such  notice  to  such  Corporation,   association  or
partnership. In the event of the transfer of Stock after delivery of such notice
of and prior to the holding of the meeting it shall not be  necessary to deliver
or mail notice of the meeting to the transferee.

     SECTION 2. EFFECT OF  IRREGULARLY  CALLED  MEETINGS.  Whenever  all parties
entitled to vote at any meeting, whether of Directors or Stockholders,  consent,
either by a writing on the records of the  meeting or filed with the  Secretary,
or by presence at such  meeting and oral consent  entered on the minutes,  or by
taking part in the deliberations at such meeting without  objection,  the doings
of such meeting  shall be as valid as if had at a meeting  regularly  called and
noticed,  and at such  meeting  any  business  may be  transacted  which  is not
excepted from the written consent or to the  consideration of which no objection

                                        7
<PAGE>
for want of notice is made at the time, and if any meeting be irregular for want
of notice or of such consent, provided a quorum was present at such meeting, the
proceedings  of said meeting may be ratified and approved and rendered  likewise
valid and the  irregularity  or defect therein waived by a writing signed by all
parties  having the right to vote at such meeting;  and such consent or approval
of Stockholders may be by proxy or attorney,  but all such proxies and powers of
attorney must be in writing.

     SECTION 3. WAIVER OF NOTICE. Whenever any notice whatever is required to be
given under the provisions of the statutes,  of the Articles of Incorporation or
of these Bylaws,  a waiver  thereof in writing,  signed by the person or persons
entitled to said notice,  whether before or after the time stated therein, shall
be deemed equivalent thereto.

                                  Capital Stock

     SECTION 1.  CERTIFICATES.  Every  Stockholder  shall be  entitled to have a
certificate  signed by the President or a Vice President and the Treasurer or an
Assistant  Treasurer,  or  the  Secretary  or  an  Assistant  Secretary  of  the
Corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by him in the Corporation. If
the  Corporation  shall be  authorized  to issue more than one class of Stock or
more than one series of any class, the  designations,  preferences and relative,
participating,  optional or other special rights of the various classes of Stock
or series thereof and the  qualifications,  limitations or  restrictions of such

Corporation or its employees or (2) by a registrar other than the Corporation or
its  employees,  the  signatures  of  the  Officers  of the  Corporation  may be
facsimiles.  In case any Officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has
been  placed  upon a  certificate  shall  cease to be such  Officer  before such
certificate is issued,  such  certificate  may be issued with the same effect as
though  the  person  had  not  ceased  to be  such  Officer.  The  seal  of  the
Corporation,  or  a  facsimile  thereof,  may,  but  need  not  be,  affixed  to
certificates of Stock.

     SECTION  2.  SURRENDERED;  LOST OR  DESTROYED  CERTIFICATES.  The  Board of
Directors may direct a new  certificate or certificates to be issued in place of
any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to
have been lost or destroyed  upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
person  claiming  the  certificate  of  Stock  to be  lost  or  destroyed.  When
authorizing  such  issue of a new  certificate  or  certificates,  the  Board of
Directors may, in its  discretion  and as a condition  precedent to the issuance
thereof,   require  the  owner  of  such  lost  or  destroyed   certificate   or
certificates, or his legal representative,  to advertise the same in such manner
as it shall  require  and/or give the  Corporation  a bond in such sum as it may
direct as indemnity  against any claim that may be made against the  Corporation
with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

     SECTION 3. REPLACEMENT  CERTIFICATES.  Upon surrender to the Corporation or
the transfer agent of the  Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed
or  accompanied  by proper  evidence of  succession,  assignment or authority to

provisions of the laws and regulations  applicable to the Corporation  regarding

certificate  to the person  entitled  thereto,  cancel the old  certificate  and
record the transaction upon its books.

     SECTION 4. RECORD DATE.  The Board of  Directors  may fix in advance a date
not exceeding  sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days preceding the date of
any meeting of Stockholders, or the date for the payment of any distribution, or
the date for the allotment of rights,  or the date when any change or conversion

                                       11
<PAGE>
or exchange of capital Stock shall go into effect,  or a date in connection with
obtaining the consent of Stockholders for any purpose,  as a record date for the
determination of the Stockholders  entitled to notice of and to vote at any such
meeting, and any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any such
distribution, or to give such consent, and in such case, such Stockholders,  and
only such  Stockholders as shall be Stockholders of record on the date so fixed,
shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting,  or any  adjournment
thereof,  or to  receive  payment  of  such  distribution,  or to  receive  such
allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, or to give such consent, as the
case may be,  notwithstanding  any  transfer  of any  Stock on the  books of the
Corporation after any such record date fixed as aforesaid.

     SECTION 5. REGISTERED OWNER. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize
the person  registered  on its books as the owner of shares to be the  exclusive
owner for all purposes  including voting and  distribution,  and the Corporation
shall not be bound to recognize  any  equitable or other claim to or interest in
such  share or shares on the part of any other  person,  whether or not it shall
have express or other notice thereof,  except as otherwise  provided by the laws
of Nevada.

PERSONS.  Every person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to or is involved in any action,  suit or proceeding,  whether civil,  criminal,
administrative  or  investigative,  by reason of the fact that he or a person of
whom he is the legal  representative  is or was a  Director  or  Officer  of the

representatives  may  have  or  hereafter  acquire  and,  without  limiting  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.

     SECTION 3. FURTHER  BYLAWS.  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

amend shall have been contained in the notice of the meeting.
