     The principal office of the corporation in the State of Nevada shall be

to time require.

                           ARTICLE II - STOCKHOLDERS

1. ANNUAL MEETING.

     The annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held on such date as is
determined by the Board of Directors for the purpose of electing directors and

         Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes,
unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by the president or by
the directors, and shall be called by the president at the request of the

corporation entitled to vote at the meeting.

3. PLACE OF MEETING.

     The directors may designate any place, either within or without the State

meeting or for any special meeting called by the directors. A waiver of notice
signed by all stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting may designate any
place, either within or without the state unless otherwise prescribed by

if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be the

4. NOTICE OF MEETING.

     Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting
and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the
meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten nor more than thirty
days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the

5. CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS OR FIXING OF RECORD DATE.

     For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to
vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or stockholders
entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a
determination of stockholders for any other proper purpose, the directors of
the corporation may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a
stated period but not to exceed, in any case, thirty days. If the stock
transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining stockholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders, such books shall
be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of
closing the stock transfer books, the directors may fix in advance a date as
the record date for any such determination of stockholders, such date in any
case to be not more than thirty days and, in case of a meeting of stockholders,
not less than ten days prior to the date on which the particular action
requiring such determination of stockholders is to be taken. If the stock
transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination
of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders,
or stockholders entitled 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
directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the
record date for such determination of stockholders. When a determination of
stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as
provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment
thereof.

stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders 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, for a period of
ten days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on file at the principal office
of the corporation or transfer agent and shall be subject to inspection by any
stockholder at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall also be
produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be
subject to the inspection of any stockholder during the whole time of the
meeting. The original stock transfer book shall be prima facie evidence as to
who are the stockholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to
vote at the meeting of stockholders.

7. QUORUM.

     Unless otherwise provided by law, at any meeting of stockholders one-third
of the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in
person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. If
less than said number of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a
majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time
without further notice. 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


                                       2

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 the
