                                    ARTICLE I
                                CORPORATE OFFICES


     1.1  PRINCIPAL OFFICE

     The board of directors shall fix the location of the principal executive
office of the corporation at any place within or outside the State of
California.  If the principal executive office is located outside such state and
the corporation has one or more business offices in such state, then the board
of directors shall fix and designate a principal business office in the State of
California.

     1.2  OTHER OFFICES

     The board of directors may at any time establish branch or subordinate
offices at any place or places where the corporation is qualified to do
business.


                                      ARTICLE II

                             MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

     2.1  PLACE OF MEETINGS

     Meetings of shareholders shall be held at any place within or outside the
State of California designated by the board of directors.  In the absence of any
such designation, shareholders' meetings shall be held at the principal
executive office of the corporation.

     2.2  ANNUAL MEETING

     The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held each year on a date and at
a time designated by the board of directors.  In the absence of such
designation, the annual meeting of shareholders shall be held on the 18th of
April in each year at 10:00 a.m.  However, if such day falls on a legal holiday,
then the meeting shall be held at the same time and place on the next succeeding
full business day.  At the meeting, directors shall be elected, and any other
proper business may be transacted.


     2.3  SPECIAL MEETING

     A special meeting of the shareholders may be called at any time by the
board of directors, or by the chairman of the board, or by the president, or by
one or more shareholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not 
less than ten percent (10%) of the votes at that meeting.



     If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the
board of directors or the president or the chairman of the board, then the
request shall be in writing, specifying the time of such meeting and the general
nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered
personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or other (facsimile
transmission to the chairman of the board, the president, any vice president or
the secretary of the corporation.  The officer receiving the request shall cause
notice to be promptly given to the shareholders entitled to vote, in accordance
with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of these bylaws, that a meeting will
be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, so
long as that time is not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60)
days after the receipt of the request.  If the notice is not given within twenty
(20) days after receipt of the request, then the person or persons requesting
the meeting may give the notice.  Nothing contained in this paragraph of this
Section 2.3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a
meeting of shareholders called by action of the board of directors may be held.

     2.4  NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS

     All notices of meetings of shareholders shall be sent or otherwise given in
accordance with Section 2.5 of these bylaws not less than ten (10) (or, if sent
by third-class mail pursuant to Section 2.5 of these bylaws, thirty (30)) nor
more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. The notice shall
specify the place, date, and hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a
special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted (no
business other than that specified in the notice may be transacted) or (ii) in
the case of the annual meeting, those matters which the board of directors, at
the time of giving the notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders
(but subject to the provisions of the next paragraph of this Section 2.4 any
proper matter may be presented at the meeting for such action).  The notice of
any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the name of any
nominee or nominees whom, at the time of the notice, the board intends to
present for election.

     If action is proposed to be taken at any meeting for approval of (i) a
contract or transaction in which a director has a direct or indirect financial
interest, pursuant to Section 310 of the Corporations Code of California (the
"Code"), (ii) an amendment of the articles of incorporation, pursuant to Section
902 of the Code, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation, pursuant to Section
1201 of the Code, (iv) a voluntary dissolution of the corporation, pursuant to
Section 1900 of the Code, or (v) a distribution in dissolution other than in
accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, pursuant to Section
2007 of the Code, then the notice shall also state the general nature of that
proposal.

     2.5  MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE

     Written notice of any meeting of shareholders shall be given either (i)
personally or (ii) by first-class mail or (iii) by third class mail but only if
the corporation has outstanding shares held of record by five hundred (500) or
more persons (determined as provided in Section 605 of the Code) on the record
date for the shareholders' meeting, or (iv) by telegraphic or other written
communication.  Notices not personally delivered shall be sent charges prepaid
and shall be addressed to the shareholder at the address of that shareholder
appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the shareholder to the
corporation for the purpose of notice.  If no such


                                      -2-


address appears on the corporation's books or is given, notice shall be deemed 
to have been given if sent to that shareholder by mail or telegraphic or other
written communication to the corporation's principal executive office, or if
published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county 
where that office is located.  Notice shall be deemed to have been given at 
the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by telegram
or other means of written communication.

     If any notice addressed to a shareholder at the address of that shareholder
appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the
United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal
Service is unable to deliver the notice to the shareholder at that address, then
all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without
further mailing if the same shall be available to the shareholder on written
demand of the shareholder at the principal executive office of the corporation
for a period of one (1) year from the date of the giving of the notice.

     An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any
shareholders' meeting, executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any
transfer agent of the corporation giving the notice, shall be prima facie
evidence of the giving of such notice.

     2.6  QUORUM

     The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the
shares entitled to vote thereat constitutes a quorum for the transaction of
business at all meetings of shareholders.  The shareholders present at a duly
called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business
until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to
leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is
approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.

     2.7  ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE

     Any shareholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is
present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the
shares represented at that meeting, either in person or by proxy.  In the
absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at that meeting except
as provided in Section 2.6 of these bylaws.

     When any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to
another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the
time and place are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. 
However, if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed or if the
adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days from the date set for the
original meeting, then notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given.  Notice
of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record
entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of these bylaws.  At any adjourned meeting the corporation
may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original
meeting.

                                      -3-


     2.8  VOTING

     The shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these bylaws,
subject to the provisions of Sections 702 through 704 of the Code (relating to
voting shares held by a fiduciary, in the name of a corporation or in joint
ownership).

     The shareholders' vote may be by voice vote or by ballot; provided,
however, that any election for directors must be by ballot if demanded by any
shareholder at the meeting and before the voting has begun.

     Except as provided in the last paragraph of this Section 2.8, or as may be
otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, each outstanding share,
regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on, each matter submitted to
a vote of the shareholders.  Any shareholder entitled to vote on any matter may
vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the
remaining shares or, except when the matter is the election of directors, may
vote them against the proposal; but, if the shareholder fails to specify the
number of shares which the shareholder is voting affirmatively, it will be
conclusively presumed that the shareholder's approving vote is with respect to
all shares which the shareholder is entitled to vote.

     If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares
represented and voting at a duly held meeting (which shares voting affirmatively
also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum) shall be the act of
the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or a vote by classes is
required by the Code or by the articles of incorporation.

     At a shareholders' meeting at, which directors are to be elected, a
shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e.  cast for any candidate a
number of votes greater than the number of votes which such shareholder normally
is entitled to cast) if the candidates' names have been placed in nomination
prior to commencement of the voting and the shareholder has given notice prior
to commencement of the voting of the shareholder's intention to cumulate votes. 
If any shareholder has given such a notice, then every shareholder entitled to
vote may cumulate votes for candidates in nomination either (i) by giving one
candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected
multiplied by the number of votes to which that shareholder's shares are
normally entitled or (ii) by distributing the shareholder's votes on the same
principle among any or all of the candidates, as the shareholder thinks fit. 
The candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes, up to the
number of directors to be elected, shall be elected; votes against any candidate
and votes withheld shall have no legal effect.

     2.9  VALIDATION OF MEETINGS; WAIVER OF NOTICE; CONSENT

     The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special,
however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had
at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present
either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each
person entitled to vote, who was not present in person or by proxy, signs a
written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of the meeting or an
approval of the minutes thereof.  The waiver of notice or consent or approval
need not specify either the business to be

                                      -4-


transacted or the purpose of any annual or special meeting of shareholders, 
except that if action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of 
those matters specified in the second paragraph of Section 2.4 of these 
bylaws, the waiver of notice or consent or approval shall state the general 
nature of the proposal.  All such waivers, consents, and approvals shall be 
filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

     Attendance by a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of
notice of and presence at that meeting, except when the person objects at the
beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting
is not lawfully called or convened.  Attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of
any right to object to the consideration of matters required by the Code to be
included in the notice of the meeting but not so included, if that objection is
expressly made at the meeting.

     2.10 SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING

     Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of
shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a
consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders
of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that
would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all
shares entitled to vote on that action were present and voted.

     In the case of election of directors, such a consent shall be effective
only if signed by the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote for the
election of directors.  However, a director may be elected at any time to fill
any vacancy on the board of directors, provided that it was not created by
removal of a director and that it has not been filled by the directors, by the
written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled
to vote for the election of directors.

     All such consents shall be maintained in the corporate records.  Any
shareholder giving a written consent, or the shareholder's proxy holders, or a
transferee of the shares, or a personal representative of the shareholder, or
their respective proxy holders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by
the secretary of the corporation before written consents of the number of shares
required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the secretary.

     If the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have not been
solicited in writing and if the unanimous written consent of all such
shareholders has not been received, then the secretary shall give prompt notice
of the corporate action approved by the shareholders without a meeting.  Such
notice shall be given to those shareholders entitled to vote who have not
consented in writing and shall be given in the manner specified in Section 2.5
of these bylaws.  In the case of approval of (i) a contract or transaction in
which a director has a direct or indirect financial interest, pursuant to
Section 310 of the Code, (ii) indemnification of a corporate "agent," pursuant
to Section 317 of the Code, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation, pursuant
to Section 1201 of the Code, and (iv) a distribution in dissolution other than
in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, pursuant to
Section 2007 of the Code, the notice shall be given at least ten (10) days
before the consummation of any action authorized by that approval.

                                      -5-


     2.11 RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDER NOTICE; VOTING; GIVING CONSENTS

     For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of any
meeting or to vote thereat or entitled to give consent to corporate action
without a meeting, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date,
which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before
the date of any such meeting nor more than sixty (60) days before any such
action without a meeting, and in such event only shareholders of record on the
date so fixed are entitled to notice and to vote or to give consents, as the
case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the
corporation after the record date, except as otherwise provided in the Code.

     If the board of directors does not so fix a record date:

          (a)  the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice
of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on
the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice
is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day
on which the meeting is held; and

          (b)  the record date for determining shareholders entitled to give
consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, (i) when no prior
action by the board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written
consent is given, or (ii) when prior action by the board has been taken, shall
be at the close of business on the day on which the board adopts the resolution
relating to that action, or the sixtieth (60th) day before the date of such
other action, whichever is later.

     The record date for any other purpose shall be as provided in Article VIII
of these bylaws.

     2.12 PROXIES

     Every person entitled to vote for directors, or on any other matter, shall
have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by
a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the secretary of the
corporation.  A proxy shall be deemed signed if the shareholder's name is placed
on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission
or otherwise) by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney-in-fact.  A
validly executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall
continue in full force and effect unless (i) the person who executed the proxy
revokes it prior to the time of voting by delivering a writing to the
corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by executing a subsequent proxy
and presenting it to the meeting or by voting in person at the meeting, or (ii)
written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that proxy is received
by the corporation before the vote pursuant to that proxy is counted; provided,
however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months
from the date of the proxy, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.  The dates
contained on the forms of proxy presumptively determine the order of execution,
regardless of the postmark dates on the envelopes in which they are mailed.  The
revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be
governed by the provisions of Sections 705(e) and 705(f) of the Code.

                                      -6-


     2.13 INSPECTORS OF ELECTION

     Before any meeting of shareholders, the board of directors may appoint an
inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment. 
If no inspector of election is so appointed, then the chairman of the meeting
may, and on the request of any shareholder or a shareholder's proxy shall,
appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting.  The
number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3).  If inspectors are
appointed at a meeting.  pursuant to the request of one (1) or more shareholders
or proxies, then the holders of a majority of shares or their proxies present at
the meeting shall determine whether one (1) or three (3) inspectors are to be
appointed.  If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or
refuses to act, then the chairman of the meeting may, and upon the request of
any shareholder or a shareholder's proxy shall, appoint a person to fill that
vacancy.

     Such inspectors shall:

          (a)  determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power
of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a
quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies;

          (b)  receive votes, ballots or consents;

          (c)  hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way
arising in connection with the right to vote;

     3.1  POWERS

(5) nor more than nine (9).* The exact number of directors shall be seven 
until changed, within the limits specified above, by a bylaw amending this 
Section 3.2, duly adopted by the board of directors or by the shareholders.  
This indefinite number may be changed, or a definite number may be fixed 
without provision for an indefinite number, by a duly adopted amendment to 
the articles of incorporation or by an amendment to this bylaw adopted by the 
vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares 
entitled to vote; provided, however, that an amendment reducing the fixed 
number or the minimum number of directors to a number less than five (5) 
cannot be adopted if the votes cast against its adoption at a meeting, or the 
shares not consenting in the case of an action by written consent, are equal 
to more than sixteen and two-thirds percent (16-2/3%) of the outstanding 
shares entitled to vote thereon.

     No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of
removing any director before that director's term of office expires.

     Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of shareholders to hold

may elect a successor to take office when the resignation becomes effective.

     Vacancies in the board of directors may be filled by a majority of the
remaining directors, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining
director; however, a vacancy created by the removal of a director by the vote or
written consent of the shareholders or by court order may be filled only by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly
held meeting at which a quorum is present (which shares voting affirmatively
also constitute a majority of the required quorum) or by the unanimous written
consent of all shares entitled to vote thereon.  Each director so elected shall
hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders and until a
successor has been elected and qualified.

     A vacancy or vacancies in the board of directors shall be deemed to exist

the board of directors by resolution declares vacant the office of a director
who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court or convicted of a
felony, (iii) if the authorized number of directors is increased, or (iv) if the

the manner specified in Section 2.5 of these bylaws for giving notice to
shareholders of the corporation.

     The annual report shall contain (i) a balance sheet as of the end of the
fiscal year, (ii) an income statement, (iii) a statement of changes in financial
position for the fiscal year, and (iv) any report of independent accountants or,
if there is no such report, the certificate of an authorized officer of the
corporation that the statements were prepared without audit from the books and
records of the corporation.

     The foregoing requirement of an annual report shall be waived so long as
the shares of the corporation are held by fewer than one hundred (100) holders
of record.

     7.6  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     If no annual report for the fiscal year has been sent to shareholders, then
the corporation shall, upon the written request of any shareholder made more
than one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of such fiscal year, deliver
or mail to the person making the request, within thirty (30) days thereafter, a
copy of a balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal year and an income
statement and statement of changes in financial position for such fiscal year.

     If a shareholder or shareholders holding at least five percent (5%) of the
outstanding shares of any class of stock of the corporation makes a written
request to the corporation for an income statement of the corporation for the
three-month, six-month or nine-month period of the then current fiscal year
ended more than thirty (30) days before the date of the request, and for a
balance sheet of the corporation as of the end of that period, then the chief
financial officer shall cause that statement to be prepared, if not already
prepared, and shall deliver personally or mail that statement or statements to
the person making the request within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the
request.  If the corporation has not sent to the shareholders its annual report
for the last fiscal year, the statements referred to in the first paragraph of
this Section 7.6 shall likewise be delivered or mailed to the shareholder or
shareholders within thirty (30) days after the request.

     The quarterly income statements and balance sheets referred to in this
section shall be accompanied by the report, if any, of any independent
accountants engaged by the corporation or

                                      -18-



by the certificate of an authorized officer of the corporation that the 
financial statements were prepared without audit from the books and records 
of the corporation.

                                   ARTICLE VIII

                                  GENERAL MATTERS

     8.1  RECORD DATE FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN NOTICE AND VOTING

     For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to receive payment of
any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the
shareholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful
action (other than action by shareholders by written consent without a meeting),
the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be
more than sixty (60) days before any such action.  In that case, only
shareholders of record at the close of business on the date so fixed are
entitled to receive the dividend, distribution or allotment of rights, or to
exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any
shares on the books of the corporation after the record date so fixed, except as
otherwise provided in the Code.

     If the board of directors does not so fix a record date, then the record
date for determining shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of
business on the day on which the board adopts the applicable resolution or the
sixtieth (60th) day before the date of that action, whichever is later.

     8.2  CHECKS; DRAFTS; EVIDENCES OF INDEBTEDNESS

     From time to time, the board of directors shall determine by resolution
which person or persons may sign or endorse all checks, drafts, other orders for
payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness that are issued in
the name of or payable to the corporation, and only the persons so authorized
shall sign or endorse those instruments.

     8.3  CORPORATE CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS: HOW EXECUTED

     The board of directors, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may
authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any
contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the
corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. 
Unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within the agency
power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or
authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its
credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

     8.4  CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES

     A certificate or certificates for shares of the corporation shall be issued
to each shareholder when any of such shares are fully paid.  The board of
directors may authorize the

                                      -19-


issuance of certificates for shares partly paid provided that these 
certificates shall state the total amount of the consideration to be paid for 
them and the amount actually paid.  All certificates shall be signed in the 
name of the corporation by the chairman of the board or the vice chairman of 
the board or the president or a vice president and by the chief financial 
officer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or an assistant secretary, 
certifying the number of shares and the class or series of shares owned by 
the shareholder.  Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be 
facsimile.

     In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose
facsimile signature has been placed on a certificate ceases to be that officer,
transfer agent or registrar before that certificate is issued, it may be issued
by the corporation with the same effect as if that person were an officer,
transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

     8.5  LOST CERTIFICATES

     Except as provided in this Section 8.5, no new certificates for shares
shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is
surrendered to the corporation and cancelled at the same time.  The board of
directors may, in case any share certificate or certificate for any other
security is lost, stolen or destroyed, authorize the issuance of replacement
certificates on such terms and conditions as the board may require; the board
may require indemnification of the corporation secured by a bond or other
adequate security sufficient to protect the corporation against any claim that
may be made against it, including any expense or liability, on account of the
alleged loss, theft or destruction of the certificate or the issuance of the
replacement certificate.

     8.6  CONSTRUCTION; DEFINITIONS

     Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of
construction, and definitions in the Code shall govern the construction of these
bylaws.  Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number
includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term
"person" includes both a corporation and a natural person.

                                ARTICLE IX

                                AMENDMENTS

     9.1  AMENDMENT BY SHAREHOLDERS

     New bylaws may be adopted or these bylaws may be amended or repealed by the
vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
entitled to vote; provided, however, that if the articles of incorporation of
the corporation set forth the number of authorized directors of the corporation,
then the authorized number of directors may be changed only by an amendment of
the articles of incorporation.

                                      -20-


     9.2  AMENDMENT BY DIRECTORS

Subject to the rights of the shareholders as provided in Section 9.1 of these
bylaws, bylaws, other than a bylaw or an amendment of a bylaw changing the
authorized number of directors (except to fix the authorized number of directors
pursuant to a bylaw providing for a variable number of directors), may be
adopted, amended or repealed by the board of directors.
