         The corporation is to have a perpetual existence.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                       DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' LIABILITY
         A Director or Officer of the corporation shall not be personally liable
to this corporation or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director or officer,  but this  Article  shall not  eliminate  or limit the
liability  of a director  or officer  for (I) acts or  omissions  which  involve
intentional  misconduct,  fraud,  or a  knowing  violation  of law or  (ii)  the
unlawful payment of distributions. Any repeal or modification of this article by
the  stockholders  of the corporation  shall be prospective  only, and shall not
adversely  affect any  limitations  on the  personal  liability of a director or
officer  of the  corporation  for  acts or  omissions  prior to such  repeal  or
modification.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                    INDEMNITY
         Every  person who was or is a party to, 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 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, shall be indemnified and
held harmless to the fullest  extent legally  permissible  under the laws of the
State of Nevada from time to time  against  all  expenses,  liability,  and loss
(including attorneys' fees, judgments,  fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in
settlement) reasonable incurred or suffered by him in connection therewith. Such
right of indemnification  shall be a contract right which may be enforced in any
manner desired by such person.  The expenses of officers and directors  incurred
in 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 an 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 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  by-laws,
agreement,  vote of  stockholders,  provision of law, or  otherwise,  as well as
their rights under this Article.
Without limiting the application of the foregoing,  the stockholders or Board of
Directors may adopt  by-laws from time to time with respect to  indemnification,
to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the laws of the
 State of  Nevada,  and may cause  the  corporation  to  purchase  and  maintain
insurance  on behalf of any  person  who is or as a  director  or officer of the
corporation,  or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as director
or officer of another  corporation,  or as its  representative in a partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprises 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  indemnification  provided in this Article shall continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director,  officer, employee or agent, and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                   AMENDMENTS
         Subject at all times to the express  provisions  of Section  4.03 which
cannot be amended,  this corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change,
or repeal any  provision  contained in these  Articles of  Incorporation  or its
Bylaws,  in the  manner  now or  hereafter  prescribed  by  statute  or by these
Articles of  Incorporation  or said Bylaws,  and all rights  conferred  upon the
stockholders are granted subject to this reservation.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                               POWERS OF DIRECTORS
         In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute
on the Board of Directors is expressly authorized:

(1)  Subject to the Bylaws, if any, adopted by the stockholders, to make, alter,
     or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation;

     limit as to amount, upon the real and personal
                  property of the corporation;
(3)  To authorize the guaranty by the  corporation of  securities,  evidences of
     indebtedness  and obligations of other persons,  corporations  and business
     entities;
(4)  To set  apart  out of any of the  funds of the  corporation  available  for
     distributions  a reserve or reserves for any proper  purpose and to abolish
     any such reserve;
(5)  By  resolution,  to designate  one or more  committees,  each  committee to
     consist of at least one director of the  corporation,  which, to the extent
     provided in the resolution or in the Bylaws of the corporation,  shall have
     and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in the  management of
     the business and affairs of the corporation,  and may 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 stated in
     the Bylaws of the  corporation or as may be determined from time to time by
     resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, and
(6)  To authorize the corporation by its officers or agents to exercise all such
     powers  and to do all such acts and things as may be  exercised  or done by
     the  corporation,  except and to the  extent  that any such  statute  shall
     require action by the  stockholders of the  corporation  with regard to the
     exercising of any such power or the doing of any such act or thing.

     In  addition  to the  powers  and  authorities  hereinbefore  or by statute
expressly  conferred  upon them,  the Board of  Directors  may exercise all such
powers  and do all  such  acts and  things  as may be  exercised  or done by the
corporation, except as otherwise provided herein and by law.

         IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  I have  hereunto  set my  hand  this  7TH day of
SEPTEMBER,   2000,  hereby  declaring  and  certifying  that  the  facts  stated
hereinabove are true.
