                                    ARTICLE X

     SECTION 1. Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. A Director of the
Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the

which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for
the payment of distributions to stockholders in violation of Section 78.300 of
the Nevada Revised Statutes, or (iv) for any transaction from which the Director
derived an improper personal benefit.

     SECTION 2. Indemnification and Insurance.

         (a) Action, etc.. Other Than by or in the Right of the Corporation. The
     Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent
     permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be
     amended, any Agent (as hereinafter defined) against costs, charges and
     Expenses (as hereinafter defined), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
     settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Agent in connection with
     such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if the Agent
     acted in good faith and in a manner the Agent reasonably believed to be in
     or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect
     to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
     such conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or
     proceeding--whether by judgment, order, settlement conviction, or upon a
     plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent--shall not, of itself, create a
     presumption that the Agent did not act in good faith and in a manner which
     the Agent reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
     of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
     that the Agent had reasonable cause to believe that the Agent's conduct was
     unlawful.

         (b) Action, etc., by or in the Right of the Corporation. The
     Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
     threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
     judicial action or suit brought by or in the right of the Corporation to
     procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is
     or was an Agent, against costs, charges and Expenses actually and
     reasonably incurred by the Agent in connection with the defense or
     settlement of such action or suit and any appeal therefrom if the Agent
     acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
     in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no
     indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as
     to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for gross
     negligence or wilful misconduct in the performance of the Agent's duty to
     the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such
     action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
     the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the
     case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
     costs, charges and Expenses which such court shall deem proper.

                                                                               4

         (c) Determination of Right of Indemnification. Any indemnification
     under Paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section (unless ordered by a court)
     shall be paid by the Corporation unless a determination is reasonably and
     promptly made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
     consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or
     proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if
     obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by
     independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the
     stockholders, that such person acted in bad faith and in a manner that such
     person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
     Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such person
     believed or had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

         (d) Indemnification Against Expenses of Successful Party.
     Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, to the extent that an
     Agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without
     limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, the settlement of
     an action without admission of liability, or the defense of any claim,
     issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such proceeding, action,
     claim or matter, such Agent shall be indemnified against all costs, charges
     and Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

         (e) Advances of Expenses. Except as limited by Paragraph (f) of this
     Section, costs, charges, and Expenses incurred by an Agent in any action,
     suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall be paid by
     the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter if the
     Agent shall undertake to repay such amount in the event that it is
     ultimately determined as provided herein that such person is not entitled
     to indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made
     by the Corporation if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by
     the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested
     Directors, or (if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a
     quorum of disinterested Directors so directs) by independent legal counsel
     in a written opinion, that, based upon the facts known to the Board of
     Directors or counsel at the time such determination is made, the Agent
     acted in bad faith and in a manner that such person did not believe to be
     in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with
     respect to any criminal proceeding, that such person believed or had
     reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any
     advance be made in instances where the Board of Directors or independent
     legal counsel reasonably determines that the Agent deliberately breached
     such persons' duty to the Corporation or its stockholders.

         (f) Right of Agent to Indemnification upon Application: Procedure upon
     Application. Any indemnification under Paragraphs (a), (b) and (d) or
     advance under Paragraph (e) of this Section, shall be made promptly, and in
     any event within 60 days, upon the written request of the Agent, unless
     with respect to applications under Paragraphs (a), (b) or (e), a
     determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board of Directors by
     a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Directors that such Agent
     acted in a manner set forth in such Paragraphs as to justify the

<PAGE>
                                                                               5

     Corporation's not indemnifying or making an advance to the Agent. In the
     event no quorum of disinterested Directors is obtainable, the Board of
     Directors shall promptly direct that independent legal counsel shall decide
     whether the Agent acted in the manner set forth in such Paragraphs as to
     justify the Corporation's not indemnifying or making an advance to the
     Agent. The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Section
     shall be enforceable by the Agent in any court of competent jurisdiction if
     the Board of Directors or independent legal counsel denies the claim in
     whole or in part or if no disposition of such claim is made within 60 days.
     The Agent's costs, charges and Expenses incurred in connection with
     successfully establishing such persons' right to indemnification, in whole
     or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the
     Corporation.

         (g) Other Rights and Remedies. The indemnification provided by this
     Section shall not be deemed exclusive of, and shall not affect, any other
     rights to which an Agent seeking indemnification may be entitled under any
     law, By-law, or charter provision, agreement, vote of stockholders or
     disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's
     official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
     office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an Agent and
     shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of
     such a person. All rights to indemnification under this Section shall be
     deemed to be contract between the Corporation and the Agent who serves in
     such capacity at any time while these Articles and other relevant
     provisions of the general corporation law and other applicable law, if any,
     are in effect. Any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any
     rights or obligations then existing.

         (h) Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
     behalf of any person who is or was an Agent against any liability asserted
     against such person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or
     arising out of such persons's status as such, whether or not the
     Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
     liability under the provisions of this Section. The Corporation may create
     a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including,
     without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such sums
     as may become necessary to effect indemnification as provided herein.

         (i) Other Enterprises. Fines and Serving at Corporation's Request. For
     purposes of this Section, references to "other enterprise" in Paragraph (a)
     shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include
     any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit
     plan; and references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall
     include any service by Agent as Director, officer, employee, agent or
     fiduciary of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services
     by, such Agent with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants,
     or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such
     person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and
     beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in
     a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred
     to in this Section.

         (j) Savings Clause. If this Section or any portion thereof shall be
     invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
     Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Agent as to costs, charges

<PAGE>
                                                                               6

     and Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with
     respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, and any appeal
     therefrom, whether civil, criminal or administrative, and whether internal
     or external, including a grand jury proceeding and an action or suit
     brought by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted
     by any applicable portion of this Section that shall not have been
     invalidated, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

         (k) Common Directors - Transactions between Corporations. No contract
     or other transaction between this corporation and any one or more of its
     directors or any other corporation, firm, association, or entity in which
     one or more of its directors or officers are financially interested, shall
     be either void or voidable because of such relationship or interest, or
     because such director or directors are present at the meeting of the Board
     of Directors, or a committee thereof, which authorizes, approves, or
     ratifies such contract or transaction, or because his or their votes are
     counted for such purpose if: (a) the fact of such relationship or interest
     is disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or committee which
     authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction by vote or
     consent sufficient for the purpose without counting the votes or consents
     of such interested director; or (b) the fact of such relationship or
     interest is disclosed or known to the stockholders entitled to vote and
     they authorize, approve, or ratify such contract or transaction by vote or
     written consent, or (c) the contract or transaction is fair and reasonable
     to the corporation.

         Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the
     presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or committee
     there of which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or
     transaction.

         threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
