which the Board of Directors, at the time of mailing of the notice, intends to

(or not less than any such other minimum period of days as may be prescribed by
the General Corporation Law) or more than sixty days (or more than any such
maximum period of days as may be prescribed by the General Corporation Law)
before the date of the meeting, by mail, personally, or by other means of
written communication, charges prepaid by or at the direction of the Directors,
the President, if any, the Secretary or the officer or persons calling the

or, if no such address appears or is given, at the place where the principal
executive office of the corporation is located or by publication at least once
in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the said principal
executive office is located. Such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when
deposited in the United States mail with first class postage therein prepaid, or
sent by other means of written communication addressed to the

                                        1

 
shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the
corporation. The notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected
shall include the names of nominees intended at the time of notice to be
presented by management for election. At an annual meeting of shareholders, any
matter relating to the affairs of the corporation, whether or not stated in the
notice of the meeting, may be brought up for action except matters which the
General Corporation Law requires to be stated in the notice of the meeting. The
notice of any annual or special meeting shall also include, or be accompanied
by, any additional statements, information, or documents prescribed by the
General Corporation Law. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place,
notice of the adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place thereof
are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided that,
if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a
notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder. At the
adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have
been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 5. CONSENT. The transaction of any meeting, 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 is present and if, either before or after
the meeting, each of the shareholders or his proxy signs a written waiver of
notice or a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes
thereof. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the
corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a
person at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of such 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 and except that
attendance at a meeting shall not constitute a waiver of any right to object to
the consideration of matters required by the General Corporation Law to be
included in the notice if such objection is expressly made at the meeting.
Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (f) of Section 601 of the General
Corporation Law, neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any

The Secretary of the corporation, or in his absence, an Assistant Secretary,
shall act as secretary of every meeting, but if neither the Secretary nor an
Assistant Secretary is present, the Chairman of the meeting shall appoint a
secretary of the meeting.

Section 7. PROXY REPRESENTATION. Every shareholder may authorize another person
- ---------
or persons to act as his proxy at a meeting or by written action. No proxy shall
be valid after the expiration of eleven months from the date of its execution
unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the
pleasure of the person executing it prior to the vote or written action pursuant
thereto, except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law. As used
herein, a "proxy" shall be deemed to mean a written authorization signed by a
shareholder or a shareholder's attorney in fact giving another person or persons
power to vote or consent in writing with respect to the shares of such
shareholder, and "Signed" as used herein shall be deemed to mean the placing of
such shareholder's name on the proxy, whether by manual signature, typewriting,
telegraphic transmission or otherwise by such shareholder or such shareholder's
attorney in fact. Where applicable, the form of any proxy shall comply with the
provisions of Section 604 of the General Corporation Law.

Section 8. INSPECTORS - APPOINTMENT. In advance of any meeting, the Board of
- ---------
Directors may appoint inspectors of election to act at the meeting and any
adjournment thereof. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, or, if any
persons so appointed fail to appear or refuse to act, the Chairman of any
meeting of shareholders may, and on the request of any shareholder or a
shareholder's proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election or persons to replace
any of those who so fail or refuse, at the meeting. The number of inspectors
shall be either one or three. If appointed at a meeting on the request of one or
more shareholders or proxies, the majority of shares represented shall determine
whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed.

         The inspectors of election shall determine the number of shares
outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting,
the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies,
receive votes, ballots, if any, or consents, hear and determine all challenges
and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote, count and
tabulate all votes or consents, determine when the polls shall close, determine
the result, and do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote
with fairness to all shareholders. If there are three inspectors of election,
the decision, act, or certificate of a majority shall be effective in all
respects as the decision, act, or certificate of all.

Section 9. SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS. Shares of this corporation owned by a
- ---------
subsidiary shall not be entitled to vote on any matter. A subsidiary for these
purposes is defined as a corporation, the shares of which possessing more than
25% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to
vote, are owned directly or indirectly through one or more subsidiaries.

Section 10. QUORUM; VOTE; WRITTEN CONSENT. The holders of a majority of 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. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of
shareholders may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the
shares represented thereat, but no other business may be transacted except as
hereinbefore provided.

         In the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall
elect. No shareholder shall be entitled to exercise the right of cumulative
voting at a meeting for the election of directors unless the candidate's name or
the candidates' names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the
shareholder has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of the
shareholder's intention to cumulate the shareholder's votes. If any one
shareholder has given such notice, all shareholders may cumulate their votes for
such candidates in nomination.

         Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, the
Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws, any action required or permitted to
be taken at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be authorized by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting.

         Except in the election of directors by written consent in lieu of a
meeting, and except as may otherwise be provided by the General Corporation Law,
the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws, any action which may be taken at
any annual or special meeting may be taken without a meeting and without prior
notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be
signed by holders of shares having not less than the minimum number of votes
that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which
all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Directors may not be
elected by written consent except by unanimous written consent of all shares
entitled to vote for the election of directors. Notice of any shareholder
approval pursuant to Section 310, 317, 1201 or 2007 without a meeting by less
than unanimous written consent shall be given at least ten days before the
consummation of the action authorized by such approval, and prompt notice shall
be given of the taking of any other corporate action approved by shareholders
without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those shareholders
entitled to vote who have not consented in writing.

Section 11. BALLOT. Elections of directors at a meeting need not be by ballot
- ----------
unless a shareholder demands election by ballot at the election and before the
voting begins. In all other matters, voting need not be by ballot.

Section 12. SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENTS. Notwithstanding the above provisions in
- ----------
the event this corporation elects to become a close corporation, an agreement
between two or more shareholders


                                        4

 
thereof, if in writing and signed by the parties thereof, may provide that in
exercising any voting rights the shares held by them shall be voted as provided
therein or in Section 706 and may otherwise modify these provisions as to
shareholders' meetings and actions.

                                   ARTICLE II
                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 1. FUNCTIONS. The business and affairs of the corporation shall be
- ---------
managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of
its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may delegate the management of
the day-to-day operation of the business of the corporation to a management
company or other person, provided that the business and affairs of the
corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised under
the ultimate direction of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall
have authority to fix the compensation of directors for services in any lawful
capacity.

         Each director shall exercise such powers and otherwise perform such
duties in good faith, in the manner such director believes to be in the best
interests of the corporation, and with care, including reasonable inquiry, using
ordinary prudence, as a person in a like position would use under similar
circumstances. (Section 309).

Section 2. EXCEPTION FOR CLOSE CORPORATION. Notwithstanding the provisions of
- ---------
Section 1, in the event that this corporation shall elect to become a close
corporation as defined in Section 186, its shareholders may enter into a
Shareholders' Agreement as provided in Section 300 (b). Said Agreement may
provide for the exercise of corporate powers and the management of the business
and affairs of this corporation by the shareholders, provided however such
agreement shall, to the extent and so long as the discretion or the powers of
the Board in its management of corporate affairs is controlled by such

managerial acts performed or omitted by such person pursuant thereto otherwise
imposed upon Directors as provided in Section 300(d).

Section 3. QUALIFICATIONS AND NUMBER. A director need not be a shareholder of
- ---------
the corporation, a citizen of the United States, or a resident of the State of
California. The authorized number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors until further changed shall be 4. Thereafter, the authorized number of
directors constituting the Board shall be at least three provided that, whenever
the corporation shall have only two shareholders, the number of directors may be
at least two, and, whenever the corporation shall have only one shareholder, the
number of directors may be at least one. Subject to the foregoing provisions,
the number of directors may be changed from time to time by an amendment of
these By-Laws adopted by the shareholders. Any such amendment reducing the
number of


                                        5

 
directors to fewer than five cannot be adopted if the votes cast against its
adoption at a meeting or the shares not consenting in writing in the case of
action by written consent are equal to more than sixteen and two-thirds percent
of the outstanding shares. No decrease in the authorized number of directors
shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director.

Section 4. ELECTION AND TERM. The initial Board of Directors shall consist of
- ---------
the persons elected at the meeting of the incorporator, all of whom shall hold
office until the first annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors
have been elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal
from office. Thereafter, directors who are elected to replace any or all of the
members of the initial Board of Directors or who are elected at an annual
meeting of shareholders, and directors who are elected in the interim to fill
vacancies, shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and
until their successors have been elected and qualified, or until their earlier
resignation, removal from office, or death. In the interim between annual
meetings of shareholders or of special meetings of shareholders called for the
election of directors, any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including
vacancies resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors which
have not been filled by the shareholders, including any other vacancies which
the General Corporation Law authorizes directors to fill, and including
vacancies resulting from the removal of directors which are not filled at the
meeting of shareholders at which any such removal has been effected, if the
Articles of Incorporation or a By-Law adopted by the shareholders so provides,
may be filled by the vote of a majority of the directors then in office or of
the sole remaining director, although less than a quorum exists. Any director
may resign effective upon giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board, if
any, the President, the Secretary or the Board of Directors, unless the notice
specifies a later time for the effectiveness of such resignation. If the
resignation is effective at a future time, a successor may be elected to the
office when the resignation becomes effective.

         The shareholders may elect a director at any time to fill any vacancy
which the directors are entitled to fill, but which they have not filled. Any
such election by written consent shall require the consent of a majority of the
shares.

Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. The
- ---------
corporation may indemnify any Director, Officer, agent or employee as to those
liabilities and on those terms and conditions as are specified in Section 317.
In any event, the corporation shall have the right to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any such persons whether or not the corporation would
have the power to indemnify such person against the liability insured against.

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

                                      11

 
        In the event that the corporation shall issue the whole or any part of
its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the
consideration to be paid therefor, any such certificate for shares shall set
forth thereon the statements prescribed by Section 409 of the General
Corporation Law.

        Section 2. LOST OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES. The corporation
        ----------
may issue a new certificate for shares or for any other security in the place
of any other certificate theretofore issued by it, which is alleged to have been
lost, stolen or destroyed. As a condition to such issuance, the corporation may
require any such owner of the allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or
any such owner's legal representative to give the corporation a bond, or other
adequate security, sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made
against it, including any expense or liability, on account of the alleged loss,
theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new
certificate.

Section 3. SHARE TRANSFERS. Upon compliance with any provisions of the General
- ----------
Corporation Law and/or the Corporate Securities Law of 1968 which may restrict
the transferability of shares, transfers of shares of the corporation shall be
made only on the record of shareholders of the corporation by the registered
holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney
duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the corporation or with a transfer
agent or a registrar, if any, and on surrender of the certificate or
certificates for such shares properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes, if
any, due thereon.

Section 4. RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDERS. In order that the corporation may
- ----------
determine the shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote or be
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment
of any rights or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful
action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance a record date, which shall
not be more than sixty days or fewer than ten days prior to the date of such
meeting or more than sixty days prior to any other action.

        If the Board of Directors shall not have fixed a record date as
aforesaid, 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; the record date for determining shareholders
entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when
no prior action by the Board of Directors has been taken, shall be the day on
which the first written consent is given; and the record date for determining
shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day
on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto, or the
sixtieth day prior to the day of such other action, whichever is later.

                                      12

 
         A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to
vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting
unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting,
but the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date if the meeting is
adjourned for more than forty-five days from the date set for the original
meeting.

         Except as may be otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law,
shareholders on the record date shall be entitled to notice and to vote or to
receive any dividend, distribution or allotment of rights or to exercise the
rights, as the case may be, any transfer of any shares on the books of the
corporation after the record date.

Section 5. REPRESENTATION OF SHARES IN OTHER CORPORATIONS. Shares of other

any other person authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors.

Section 6. MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS. As used in these By-Laws in respect of the
- ----------
right to notice of a meeting of shareholders or a waiver thereof or to
participate or vote thereat or to assent or consent or dissent in writing in
lieu of a meeting, as the case may be, the term "share" or "shares" or
"shareholder" or "shareholders" refers to an outstanding share or shares and to
a holder or holders of record or outstanding shares when the corporation is
authorized to issue only one class of shares, and said reference is also
intended to include any outstanding share or shares and any holder or holders of
record of outstanding shares of any class upon which or upon whom the Articles
of Incorporation confer such rights where there are two or more classes or
series of shares or upon which or upon whom the General Corporation Law confers
such rights notwithstanding that the Articles of Incorporation may provide for
more than one class or series of shares, one or more of which are limited or
denied such rights thereunder.

authorize any officer or officers, 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 by the Board of Directors, no officer, agent or employee shall have
any power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or agreement, or
to pledge its credit, or to render it liable for any purposes or any amount,

                                  ARTICLE VII

a majority of the voting power or by the Board of Directors; provided, however,
that the Board of Directors shall have no control over any By-Law which fixes or
changes the authorized number of directors of the corporation; provided,
further, that any control over the By-Laws herein vested in the Board of
Directors shall be subject to the authority of the aforesaid shareholders to
amend or repeal the By-Laws or to adopt new By-Laws; and provided further that
any By-Law amendment or new By-Law which changes the minimum number of directors
to fewer than five shall require authorization by the greater proportion of
voting power of the shareholders as hereinbefore set forth.
