3.1. DCC-Florida Stock. Each share of DCC-Florida Stock which shall be
issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Date shall, by virtue of
the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be
converted at the Effective Date into one (1) fully paid share of DCC-Nevada
Stock.
3.2. DCC-Nevada Stock Held by DCC-Florida. All issued and outstanding

and the certificate(s) representing such shares shall be cancelled.
<PAGE>
3.3. Surrender of Certificates. After the Effective Date, certificates
evidencing outstanding shares of DCC-Florida Stock shall evidence the right of
the holder thereof to receive a certificate(s) for shares of DCC-Nevada Stock as

upon surrender of such certificates to the transfer agent of the DCC-Nevada
Stock to effect the exchange of certificates, shall be entitled to receive, upon
such surrender, a certificate or certificates representing a like number of
shares of DCC-Nevada Stock. Until so surrendered, outstanding certificates for
shares of DCC-Florida Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes,
including voting rights, subject to the further provisions of this Article 3, to
evidence the ownership of the shares of DCC-Nevada Stock into which such shares
of DCC-Florida Stock have been so converted. No dividends or distributions will
be paid to the person entitled to receive certificates for shares of DCC-Nevada
Stock pursuant hereto until such person shall have surrendered his DCC-Florida
Stock certificates; but there shall be paid to the record holder of such
certificate, with respect to the number of shares of DCC-Nevada Stock issued in
exchange therefor (i) upon such surrender, the amount of any dividends or
distributions with a record date after the Effective Date and before surrender
which shall have become payable thereon since the Effective Date, without
interest; and (ii) after such surrender, the amount of any dividends thereon
with a record date after the Effective Date and before surrender and the payment
date of which shall be after surrender, such amount to be paid on such payment
date. If any certificate for shares of DCC-Nevada Stock is to be issued in a
name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefor
is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the
certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise be in proper
form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange pay to the
transfer agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of
a certificate for shares of DCC- Nevada Stock in any name other than that of the
registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or establish to the
satisfaction of the transfer agent that such tax has been paid or is not
payable. At the Effective Date of the Merger, all shares of DCC-Florida Stock
which shall then be held in its treasury, if any, shall cease to exist, and all
certificates representing such shares shall be cancelled.
3.4 Fractional Shares. DCC-Nevada will not issue certificates representing
fractional shares of DCC-Nevada Stock, upon the Merger. Rather, each holder of a
fractional interest in DCC-Nevada Stock will receive the sum of $.01 for such
fractional interest.
IV. MISCELLANEOUS

any time before the Effective Date of the Merger, and whether before or after

directors of DCC-Nevada shall remain in such positions until their earlier
resignation or removal.

ARTICLE II - SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS
Section 2.1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the shareholders of the
Corporation shall be held at such place within or without the State of Nevada as
shall be designated by the Board of Directors in compliance with these Bylaws.
The meeting shall be held on the first Tuesday of June of each year beginning
with the year 1999 at 10:00 a.m. If such day is a legal holiday, the meeting
shall be on the next business day. This meeting shall be for the election of
directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come
before it.
In the event that such annual meeting is omitted by oversight or otherwise
on the date herein provided for, the directors shall cause a meeting in lieu
thereof to be held as soon thereafter as conveniently may be, and any business
transacted or elections held at such meeting shall be as valid as if transacted
or held at the annual meeting. If the election of directors shall not be held on
the date designated herein for any annual meeting of shareholders, or at any
adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held
at a special meeting of shareholders as soon thereafter as may conveniently be
called. Such subsequent meeting shall be called in the same manner as is
provided for the annual meeting of shareholders.
Section 2.2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of shareholders, other than
those regulated by statute, may be called at any time by the President, the
Secretary or by a majority of the directors, and must be called by the President
upon written request of the holders of not less than 10% of the issued and
outstanding shares entitled to vote at such special meeting.
Section 2.3. Notice of Shareholders' Meetings. The President, Vice
President or Secretary shall give written notice stating the place, day and hour
of the meeting, and in the case of a special meeting the purpose or purposes for
which the meeting is called, which shall be delivered not less than ten nor more
than fifty days before the day of the meeting, either personally or by mail to
each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such
notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail
addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the books of the
Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.
Any meeting of which all shareholders shall at any time waive or have
waived notice in writing shall be a legal meeting for the transaction of
business notwithstanding that notice has not been given as hereinbefore
provided.
Section 2.4. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given
by these Bylaws, or the Articles of Incorporation, or by any of the Corporation
Laws of the State of Nevada, a shareholder may waive the notice of meeting by
attendance at the meeting, either in person or by proxy, or by so stating in
writing, either before or after such meeting. Attendance at a meeting for the
express purpose of objecting that the meeting was not lawfully called or
convened shall not, however, constitute a waiver of notice.
<PAGE>
Section 2.5. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any
place, either within or without the State of Nevada, as the place of meeting for
any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the Board of Directors.
If no designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the
place of meeting shall be the registered office of the Corporation.
Section 2.6. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing Record Date. For the
purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice or to vote at any meeting
of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive
payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for
any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide
that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a period not to exceed, in any
case, 50 days. If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of
determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least 10 days immediately
preceding the date determined to be the date of record. In lieu of closing the
stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the
record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to
be not more than 50 days and in case of a meeting of shareholders not less than
10 days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such
determination of shareholders is to be taken. If the stock transfer books are
not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders
entitled to notice or to vote at a meeting of shareholders or shareholders to
receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed
or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such
dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be deemed the date of record for
such determination of shareholders. When a determination of persons entitled to
vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section,
such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.
Section 2.7. Quorum of Shareholders. Except as herein provided and as
otherwise provided by law, at any meeting of shareholders a thirty percent (30%)
majority in interest of all the shares issued and outstanding represented by
shareholders of record in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum, but a
less interest may adjourn any meeting and the meeting may be held as adjourned
without further notice; provided; however, that directors shall not be elected
at the meeting so adjourned. When a quorum is present at any meeting, a majority
in interest of the shares represented shall be the act of the shareholders,
unless the matter voted upon is one upon which the express provision of law or
of the Articles of Incorporation or of these Bylaws a larger or different vote
is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the
decision of such question.
Section 2.8. Voting Lists. The officer or agent having charge of the stock
transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make a complete list of the
shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof,
arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares
held by each, which list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place
of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder, for
any purpose germane to the meeting, during the whole time of the meeting. The
original stock transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the
shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any
meeting of shareholders.
Section 2.9. Voting. A holder of an outstanding share entitled to vote at a
meeting may vote at such meeting in person or by proxy. Except as may otherwise
be provided in the Articles of Incorporation, every shareholder shall be
entitled to one vote for each share standing in his name on the record of
shareholders. Except as herein or in the Articles of Incorporation otherwise
provided, all corporate action shall be determined by a majority of the votes
cast at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present, by the holders
of shares entitled to vote thereon.
Section 2.10. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may
vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly
authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the
Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after
eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the
proxy.
<PAGE>
Section 2.11. Informal Action by Shareholders. Any action required to be
taken at a meeting of the shareholders, or any action which may be taken at a
meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in
writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by a majority of the
shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof,

action, then such greater proportion of written consents shall be required.

additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution.
Members of the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board

may be called by order of the Chairman of the Board, the President or by
one-third of the directors. The Secretary shall give notice of the time, place

writing, either before or after such meeting. Attendance at a meeting for the
express purpose of objecting that the meeting was not lawfully called or
convened shall not, however, constitute a waiver of notice.
Section 3.7. Quorum. A majority of the members of the Board of Directors,
or a sole remaining director, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business, but less than a quorum may adjourn any meeting from time to time until
a quorum shall be present, whereupon the meeting may be held, as adjourned,
without further notice. At any meeting at which every director shall be present,
even though without any notice, any business may be transacted.
Section 3.8. Manner of Acting. At all meetings of the Board of Directors,
each director shall have one vote. The act of a majority present at a meeting
shall be the act of the Board of Directors, provided a quorum is present. Any
action required to be taken or which may be taken at a meeting of the directors
may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action
so taken shall be signed by all the directors. The directors may conduct a
meeting by means of a conference telephone or any similar communication
equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.
<PAGE>
Section 3.9. Powers of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have the
responsibility for the entire management of the business of the Corporation. In
the management and control of the property, business and affairs of the
Corporation the Board of Directors is hereby vested with all of the powers
possessed by the Corporation itself so far as this delegation of authority is
not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Nevada and with the Articles of
Incorporation or with these Bylaws. The Board of Directors shall have the power
to determine what constitutes net earnings, profits and surplus, respectively,
and what amounts shall be reserved for working capital and for any other purpose
and what amounts shall be declared as dividends, and such determination by the
Board of Directors shall be final and conclusive.
Section 3.10. Vacancies. A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be
deemed to exist in case of death, resignation or removal of any director, or if
the authorized number of directors be increased, or if the shareholders fail at
any meeting of shareholders at which any director is to be elected, to elect the
full authorized number to be elected at that meeting.
Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, whether arising from
death, resignation, removal (with or without cause), any increase in the number
of directors or any other reason, may be filled by an affirmative vote of the
majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum of the Board of
Directors, by a sole remaining director, or by the shareholders at the next
annual meeting thereof or at a special meeting thereof, and each director so
elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his
predecessor in office.
Section 3.11. Removals. Directors may be removed at any time at a meeting
called expressly for that purpose by a vote of the shareholders holding a
majority of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such vacancy
shall be filled by the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, to
hold office until the next annual meeting or until his successor is duly elected
and qualified, except that any directorship to be filled by reason of removal by
the shareholders may be filled by election, by the shareholders, at the meeting
at which the director is removed. 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 3.12. Resignations. A director may resign at any time by delivering
written notification thereof to the President or Secretary of the Corporation.
Such resignation shall become effective upon its acceptance by the Board of
Directors; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors has not acted
thereon within ten days from the date of its delivery, the resignation shall
upon the tenth day be deemed accepted.
Section 3.13. Presumption of Assent. A director of the Corporation who is
present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on any corporate
matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless
his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall
file his written dissent to such action with the person acting as the Secretary
of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by
registered mail to the Secretary of the Corporation immediately after the
adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director
who voted in favor of such action.
Section 3.14. Compensation. By resolution of the Board of Directors, the
directors shall be paid their expenses, if any, 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.
Section 3.15. Emergency Power. When, due to a national disaster or death, a
majority of the directors are incapacitated or otherwise unable to attend the
meetings and function as directors, the remaining members of the Board of
Directors shall have all powers necessary to function as a complete Board and,
for the purpose of doing business and filling vacancies, shall constitute a
quorum until such time as all directors can attend or vacancies can be filled
pursuant to these Bylaws.
<PAGE>
Section 3.16. Chairman. The Board of Directors may elect from its own
number a Chairman of the Board, who shall preside at all meetings of the Board
of Directors, and shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed from time
to time by the Board of Directors.
ARTICLE IV - OFFICERS
Section 4.1. Number. The officers of the Corporation shall be a President,
one or more Vice Presidents, a Secretary and a Treasurer, each of whom shall be

Board of Directors. In its discretion, the Board of Directors may leave unfilled

Secretary. Any two or more offices may be held by the same person. Officers may

thereafter as convenient. Each officer shall hold office until his successor

until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter
provided.

a written resignation either to the President or to the Secretary. Unless
otherwise specified therein, such resignation shall take effect upon delivery.
Section 4.4. Removal. Any officer or agent may be removed by the Board of
Directors whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Corporation will be
served thereby but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract
rights, if any, of the person so removed. Election or appointment of an officer
or agent shall not of itself create contract rights. Any such removal shall
require a majority vote of the Board of Directors, exclusive of the officer in
question if he is also a director.
Section 4.5. Vacancies. A vacancy in any office because of death,
resignation, removal, disqualification or otherwise, or if a new office shall be
created, may be filled by the Board of Directors for the unexpired portion of
the term.
Section 4.6. President. The President shall be the chief executive and
administrative officer of the Corporation. He shall preside at all meetings of
the shareholders and, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, at meetings

perform such duties as may be assigned to him by the Board of Directors or the
President. In the absence or disability of the President, the Vice President
designated by the board or the President shall perform the Duties and exercise
the powers of the President. In the event there is more than one Vice President
and the Board of Directors has not designated which Vice President is to act as
President, then the Vice President who was elected first shall act as President.
A Vice President may sign and execute contracts and other obligations pertaining
to the regular course of his duties.
<PAGE>
Section 4.8. Secretary. The Secretary shall keep the minutes of all
meetings of the shareholders and of the Board of Directors and to the extent
ordered by the Board of Directors or the President, the minutes of meetings of
all committees. He shall cause notice to be given of the meetings of
shareholders, of the Board of Directors and of any committee appointed by the
board. He shall have custody of the corporate seal and general charge of the
records, documents and papers of the Corporation not pertaining to the
performance of the duties vested in other officers, which shall at all
reasonable times be open to the examination of any director. He may sign or
execute contracts with the President or Vice President thereunto authorized in
the name of the Corporation and affix the seal of the Corporation thereto. He
shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed from time to time by the
board of Directors or by the Bylaws. He shall be sworn to the faithful discharge
of his duties. Assistant Secretaries shall assist the Secretary and shall keep
and record such minutes of meetings as shall be directed by the Board of
Directors.

collection and disbursement of funds of the Corporation, for collection of
checks, notes, and other obligations, and shall deposit the same to the credit
of the Corporation in such bank or banks or depositories as the Board of
Directors may designate. He may sign, with the President, or such other persons
as may be designated for the purpose by the Board of Directors, all bills of
exchange or promissory notes of the Corporation. He shall enter or cause to be
entered regularly in the books of the Corporation full and accurate accounts of

reasonable times exhibit his books and accounts to any director of the
Corporation upon application at the office of the Corporation during business
hours and, whenever required by the Board of Directors or the President, shall
render a statement of his accounts. He shall perform such other duties as may be
prescribed from time to time by the Board of Directors or by the Bylaws.
Section 4.10. General Manager. The Board of Directors may employ and
appoint a General Manager who may, or may not, be one of the officers or
directors of the Corporation. If employed by the Board of Directors he shall be
the chief operating officer of the Corporation and, subject to the directions of
the Board of Directors, shall have general charge of the business operations of
the Corporation and general supervision over its employees and agents. He shall
have the exclusive management of the business of the Corporation and of all of
its dealings, but at all times subject to the control of the Board of Directors.
Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors or the executive committee, he
shall employ all employees of the Corporation, or delegate such employment to
subordinate officers, or such division officers, or such division chiefs, and
shall have authority to discharge any person so employed. He shall make a

or compensation by reason of the fact that he is also a director of the
corporation.
Section 4.13. Surety Bonds. In case the Board of Directors shall so
require, any officer or agent of the corporation shall execute to the
Corporation a bond in such sums and with sureties as the Board of Directors may

among its members an Executive Committee of not less than two nor more than
seven members, one of whom shall be the President, and shall designate one or

Directors reserves to itself alone the power to declare dividends, issue stock,

the Corporation, no negotiable paper or other evidence of its obligation under
any loan or advance shall be issued in its name, and no property of the

corporation unless and except as authorized by the Board of Directors. Any such
authorization may be general or confined to specific instances.
Section 6.3. Deposits. All funds of the Corporation not otherwise employed

select, or as may be selected by any officer or agent authorized to do so by the
Board of Directors.
Section 6.4. Checks and Drafts. All notes, drafts, acceptances, checks,

security is issued, the signature of any of the Corporation's officers named
thereon may be facsimile. In case any officer who signed, or whose facsimile
signature has been used on any such bond or debenture, shall cease to be an
officer of the Corporation for any reason before the same has been delivered by
the Corporation, such bond or debenture may nevertheless be adopted by the
Corporation and issued and delivered as though the person who signed it or whose

such officers upon a certificate may be facsimiles if the certificate is
countersigned by a transfer agent or registered by a registrar other than the
Corporation itself or one of its employees. All certificates for shares shall be
consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name and address of the
person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of

issued therefor upon such terms and indemnity to the Corporation as the Board
may prescribe.
Section 7.2. Transfer of Shares. Transfer of shares of the Corporation
shall be made only on the stock transfer books of the Corporation by the holder
of record thereof or by his legal representative, who shall furnish proper
evidence of authority to transfer, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by

new certificate to replace any certificate theretofore issued by it alleged to

against claims that may be made on account of the issuance of such new
certificates. A new certificate may be issued without requiring any bond.
Section 7.5. Consideration for Shares. The capital stock of the Corporation
shall be issued for such consideration, but not less than the par value thereof,

fraud, the determination of the Board of Directors as to the value of any
property or services received in full or partial payment of shares shall be
conclusive.
Section 7.6. Registered Shareholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to
treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the holder thereof
in fact, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or
on behalf of the Corporation, any and all of the rights and powers incident to
the ownership of such stock at any such meeting, and shall have power and
authority to execute and deliver proxies and consents on behalf of the
Corporation in connection with the exercise by the Corporation of the rights and
powers incident to the ownership of such stock. The Board of Directors, from

Section 8.1. Indemnification. No officer or director shall be personally
liable for any obligations arising out of any acts or conduct of said officer or
director performed for or on behalf of the Corporation. The Corporation shall
and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless each person and his heirs and
administrators who shall serve at any time hereafter as a director or officer of
the Corporation from and against any and all claims, judgments and liabilities
to which such persons shall become subject by reason of any action alleged to
have been heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to have been taken by him as
such director or officer, and shall reimburse each such person for all legal and
other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim of
liability; including power to defend such person from all suits as provided for
under the provisions of the Nevada Corporation Laws; provided, however that no
such person shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for, any expense
incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of his own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The rights accruing to any person under the
foregoing provisions of this section shall not exclude any other right to which
he may lawfully be entitled, nor shall anything herein contained restrict the
right of the Corporation to indemnify or reimburse such person in any proper
case, even though not specifically herein provided for. The Corporation, its
directors, officers, employees and agents shall be fully protected in taking any
action or making any payment or in refusing so to do in reliance upon the advice
of counsel.
Section 8.2. Other Indemnification. The indemnification herein provided
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders
or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his 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 a director, officer or
employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.
Section 8.3. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation in such
capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in
any capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against liability under the
provisions of this Article VIII or the laws of the State of Nevada.
Section 8.4. Settlement by Corporation. The right of any person to be
indemnified shall be subject always to the right of the Corporation by its Board
of Directors, in lieu of such indemnity, to settle any such claim, action, suit
or proceeding at the expense of the Corporation by the payment of the amount of
such settlement and the costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
ARTICLE IX - AMENDMENTS
