waiver of notice of a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of
the minutes thereof.

from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares represented thereat
either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted except as

the day on which the meeting is held, shall be entitled to vote at such meeting,
and such day shall be the record date for such meeting.

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.

the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted
to be taken at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be authorized by the

agree or as determined in accordance with a procedure agreed upon by them, or as

                               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.

     A. The Board of Directors shall have authority to fix the compensation of
directors for services in any lawful capacity.

     Section 1.1. Each director shall exercise such powers and otherwise perform
the duties of a director in good faith, in the manner such director believes to
be in the best interests of the corporation, and with such care, including
reasonable inquiry, using ordinary prudence, as an ordinarily prudent person in
a like position would use under similar circumstances.

     Section 2. Exception for Close Corporation. In the event that this
corporation shall elect to become a close corporation, as defined in Section
158, its shareholders may enter into a


                                       6



Shareholders' Agreement as defined and provided in Sections 186 and 300(b).
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 of this Article, 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
agreement, impose upon each shareholder who is a party thereof, liability for
managerial acts performed or omitted by such person pursuant thereto that is
otherwise imposed by Section 300 upon Directors, and the directors shall be
relieved to that extent from such liability.

of the corporation, a citizen of the United States, or a resident of the State
of California.

     Section 3.1. The authorized number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors until further changed shall be three (3); provided, however, 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 Bylaws adopted by approval of the outstanding shares.
Any such amendment reducing the number of 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 or as provided by
Section 212(a). 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 designated in the Articles as such or elected by the
incorporators, all of whom shall hold office until the first annual meeting of
shareholders or until the expiration of the term for which elected and until
their successors have been elected and qualified, or until their earlier
resignation or removal from office. Thereafter, at each annual meeting of
shareholders, directors shall be elected to hold office until the next annual
meeting. Each director, including directors who are elected to fill any
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.

     Section 4.1. An ex officio director serves on the Board by virtue of his
official position. He shall remain an ex officio director until he shall no
longer hold a designated position which is the basis for ex officio membership.

     Section 4.2. If in the interim between annual meetings of shareholders or
of special meetings of shareholders called for the election of directors any
vacancies occur 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 Bylaw
adopted by the shareholders so


                                       7



provides, they may be filled by the vote of a majority of the directors then in
office or by a sole remaining director, although less than a quorum exists.

     Section 4.3. Any director may resign effective upon giving 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.

     Section 4.4. 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.

Articles or as herein set forth in the Bylaws or as the Board shall fix by
resolution, except that the first meeting of a newly elected Board shall be held
as soon after its election as the directors may conveniently assemble. In the
event the newly elected Board meets immediately following the annual meeting of
shareholders wherein they were elected, then, for such meetings and
notwithstanding any other provision of this section, call and notice are hereby
waived and dispensed with.

     Section 5.1.1. An annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held
immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders or such meetings may be

of notice, whether before or after the meeting, or who attends the meeting
without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice to
such director.

     B. A notice or waiver of notice need not specify the purpose of any regular
or special meeting of the Board of Directors.

     Section 6. Sole Director Provided by Articles of Incorporation. In the
event only one director is required by the Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation,
pursuant to Section 212(a), then any reference herein to notices, waivers,
consents, meetings, or other actions by a majority or quorum of the directors

the powers and shall assume all the responsibilities otherwise herein described
as given to a Board of Directors.

     Section 7. Quorum and Action. A majority of the authorized number of
directors shall constitute a quorum of the Board for the transaction of business

directors, whichever is larger, unless the authorized number of directors is,
only one.

     Section 7.1. A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum

to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action
is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for such meeting.

     Section 8. Chairman of the Meeting. The chairman of any meeting of the
Board of Directors shall be the Chairman of the Board, if any and if present and

present and acting, or any director chosen by the Board or provided in the
Bylaws, and who shall preside at all such meetings.

     Section 9. Removal of Directors. Any or all of the directors may be removed
without cause if such removal is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority
of the outstanding shares entitled to vote; provided, however, that unless the
entire Board is removed, an individual director shall not be removed when the
votes cast against such removal, or not consenting in writing to such removal,
would be sufficient to elect such director if voted cumulatively at an election
of directors at which the same total number of votes were cast or, if such
action is taken by written consent (in lieu of the meeting), all such shares
entitled to vote were voted, and the entire number of directors authorized at
the time of the director's most recent election were then being elected.

Bylaws, shall have all the authority of the Board of Directors except such
authority as the General Corporation Law may specifically exclude as a proper
delegation of authority.

     Section 11. Informal Action. The transactions of any meeting of the Board
of Directors, however called and noticed or 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 directors not
present signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting or an
approval of the minutes thereof all such waivers, consents, and/or approvals
shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the
meeting.

     Section 12. Written Action. Any action required or permitted to be taken by

shall individually or collectively consent in writing to such action. Such
written consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings

          (c) "Expenses" include, without limit, attorneys' fees and expenses of
establishing an indemnification right under Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 of this
Section.

     Section 13.2. This corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to a Proceeding because the person is
or was an Agent. This indemnification does not apply to an action by or in the
right of this corporation to procure a judgment in its favor. The corporation
shall indemnify an Agent against Expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and
other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a Proceeding,
if the Agent acted in good faith and in a manner he, she or it reasonably
believed to be in the corporation's best interests. In the case of a criminal
Proceeding, the Agent must have had no reasonable cause to believe his, her or
its conduct was unlawful. Any Proceeding's termination by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall
not alone create a presumption the Agent did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he, she or it reasonably believed to be in the corporation's best
interests, or the Agent had reasonable cause to believe his, her or its conduct
was unlawful.

     Section 13.3. This corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or
completed action by or in the right of this corporation to procure a judgment in
its favor because the person is or was an Agent. This indemnification applies to
Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the person relating to the action's
defense or settlement. This indemnification shall be made only if the person
acted in good faith, and in a manner he, she or it believed to be in the
corporation's and its shareholders' best interests. No indemnification shall be
made regarding:


                                       11



          (a) Any claim, issue or matter as to which the person has been judged
liable to this corporation in performing the person's duty to this corporation
and its shareholders, unless and only to the extent the court, upon application,
determines the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity;

          (b) Amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a pending
action without court approval; or

          (c) Expenses incurred in defending a pending action settled or
otherwise disposed of without court approval.

     Section 13.4. To the extent an Agent has been successful on the merits in
defending a Proceeding referred to in Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 or a related
claim, issue or matter, the Agent shall be indemnified against related Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by the Agent.

     Section 13.5. Except as provided in Section 13.4, the corporation shall
indemnify agents under this Section only upon a determination indemnification is
proper because the Agent met the applicable conduct standard in Section 13.2 or
Section 13.3, and only if authorized by any of the following:

          (a) A majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors, consisting
of directors not parties to the Proceeding;

          (b) If that quorum of directors is unobtainable, by written opinion of
independent legal counsel;

          (c) Approval of the shareholders (as provided by California
Corporations Code Section 153), with any shares owned by the person to be
indemnified not entitled to vote;

          (d) The court, upon application by this corporation, the Agent, or the
attorney or other person rendering services in connection with the defense,
whether or not the application is opposed by this corporation.

     Section 13.6. The corporation may advance Expenses incurred in defending
any Proceeding before its final disposition upon receipt of a promise by or on
behalf of the Agent to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined the Agent
is not entitled to indemnification.

     Section 13.7. The indemnification provided to Agents in this Section 13
shall not exclude other rights to which Agents may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, shareholders' vote, disinterested directors' vote or otherwise, both
as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding office, to the extent the additional indemnification rights are
authorized in this corporation's Articles of Incorporation. These indemnity
rights shall continue as to a person who ceased to be an Agent and inure to the
benefit of the person's heirs, executors, and administrators. This Section 13
shall not affect any indemnification rights to which an Agent may be entitled
under any contract or otherwise.


                                       12



     Section 13.8. No indemnification or advance shall be made under this
Section except as provided in Section 13.4 or Section 13.5(c) where such
indemnification or advance would be inconsistent with:

          (a) The corporation's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, a resolution
of its shareholders, or an agreement effective as of the accrual of the alleged
cause of action asserted in the Proceeding in which Expenses were incurred or
other amounts were paid which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or

          (b) Any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a
settlement.

     Section 13.9. This corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any Agent against any liability asserted against or incurred by the
Agent in that capacity or arising out of his, her or its being an Agent.
Insurance may be purchased whether or not this corporation has the power to
indemnify the Agent under this Section 13. This corporation's ownership of all
or a portion of the shares of any company issuing an insurance policy shall not
render this Section inapplicable if either of the following is met:

          (a) If authorized in the corporation's Articles of Incorporation, any
policy issued is limited to the extent provided by California Corporations Code
Section 204(d); or

          (b) (1) The issuing company is organized, licensed, and operated in
compliance with the insurance laws and regulations applicable to its
jurisdiction of organization,

          (2) The issuing company's procedures for processing claims do not
     permit it to be subject to the direct control of the corporation buying the
     policy, and

          (3) The policy provides for risk sharing between the issuer and
     purchaser, on the one hand and some unaffiliated person(s), on the other.
     This may be done by providing for more than one unaffiliated owner of the
     issuing company, or a portion of the coverage furnished will be obtained
     from some unaffiliated insurer or re-insurer.

     Section 13.10. This Section 13.10 does not apply to any Proceeding against
any trustee, investment manager or other employee benefit plan fiduciary in the
person's capacity as such, even though the person may also be an Agent. This
corporation may indemnify a trustee, investment manager or other fiduciary as
permitted by California Corporations Code Section 207(f).

     Section 13.11. If not otherwise authorized by these Bylaws, this
corporation may also, if authorized by its Board of Directors, indemnify and
advance Expenses to an Agent to the fullest extent of this Section 13.

     Section 13.12. The Board of Directors may authorize the corporation to
enter into agreements with its Agents providing for indemnification to the
maximum extent permitted under applicable law and the corporation's Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws.


                                       13



     Section 13.13. (a) This subsection applies if (i) an indemnity claim
arising out of this Section 13 is not paid in full by the corporation within
sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the corporation; or
(ii) a claim for an Expense advance arising out of this Section 13 is not paid
in full by the corporation within twenty (20) days after a written claim has
been received by the corporation. In the event of (i) or (ii) above, the Agent
may sue the corporation to recover the claim's unpaid amount, including
interest.

          (b) This paragraph applies if the Agent is wholly or partly successful
in the suit or in a suit brought by the corporation to recover an Expense
advance pursuant to an under-taking. If the Agent is wholly or partly
successful, the Agent may be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending the
suit.

          (c) It is a defense in any suit by the Agent to enforce
indemnification, but not in a suit brought by the Agent to enforce an Expense
advance, that the Agent has not met any applicable California Corporations Code
conduct standard.

          (d) In any suit by the corporation to recover an Expense advance, the
corporation may recover the Expenses upon a final adjudication the Agent has not
met any applicable California Corporations Code conduct standard.

          (e) Neither of the following shall be a defense to the suit or create
a presumption the Agent has not met the applicable conduct standard:

          (1) the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors,
     independent legal counsel, or shareholders) to determine prior to a suit's
     beginning that indemnification of the Agent is proper because the Agent has
     met any applicable California Corporations Code conduct standard; nor

          (2) an actual determination by the person(s) that the Agent has not
     met the applicable conduct standard. In any suit brought by the agent to
     enforce a right under this Section 13.13 or by the corporation to recover
     an Expense advance, the corporation has the burden of proving the Agent is
     not entitled to indemnification or an Expense advance.

     Section 14. Fees and Compensation. Directors and members of committees
shall not receive any salary for their services as directors or members,
however, upon resolution of the Board, a fixed fee, with or without expenses of
attendance, may be allowed for attendance at each meeting.

     Section 14.1. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any
director or committee member from serving the corporation in any other capacity
and receiving compensation therefor.

     Section 15. Transactions Between Corporation and Directors. No contract or
other transaction between the corporation and one or more of its directors, or
between the corporation and any corporation, firm or association in which one or
more of the Directors has a material financial interest, is either void or
voidable because such Director or Directors or such other


                                       14



corporation, firm or association are parties or because such Director or
Directors are present at the meeting of the Board or a committee thereof which
authorizes approves or ratifies the contract or transaction, if done so
according to the provisions set forth in Section 310 and the General Corporation
Law.

amend or repeal the Bylaws or to adopt new bylaws; and provided, further, that

effect of reducing the number or minimum number of directors shall be adopted if
the votes cast against its adoption at a meeting or the shares not consenting in
the case of action by written consent would be sufficient to elect at least one
director if voted cumulatively at an election at which all of the outstanding
shares entitled to vote were voted and the entire number of previously
authorized directors were being elected.

                                       OF

                      HELIX PHYSICIANS MEDICAL GROUP, INC.

                                   ARTICLE I.
                                     OFFICES

     Section 1. PRINCIPAL OFFICE. The board of directors shall fix the location
of the principal office for the transaction of the business of the corporation
("principal executive office"). The board of directors may change the principal
office from one location to another.

     Section 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.
                             SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS

          Section 1. QUALIFICATIONS OF SHAREHOLDERS. The corporation may not
issue shares, nor may any shareholder transfer any of its capital stock, to
anyone other than the corporation or an individual who is duly licensed or
otherwise legally authorized to render the specific professional services for
which the corporation was organized, or to a medical corporation with a single
shareholder who is a licensed physician and surgeon. Licensed persons [other
than licensed physicians and surgeons] as defined in section 13401.5(a) of the
California Corporations Code shall at no time own more than 49 percent of the
total number of shares of the corporation and shall at no time be greater in
number than the persons licensed to practice medicine.

          Section 2. REQUIRED TRANSFER OF SHARES. Shares owned by a person who
dies or becomes a disqualified shareholder shall be sold and transferred to the
corporation or its shareholders on the terms agreed on by the corporation and
its shareholders in a written agreement. The sale or transfer shall occur not
later than six months following the death of any shareholder, or within 90 days
after the shareholder becomes a disqualified person.

          Section 3. 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.

          Section 4. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of shareholders shall be
held on the date and at the time designated by the board of directors. However,
if this 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 this meeting, directors shall be elected, and
any other proper business may be transacted.

          Section 5. 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 10% of the votes at that meeting.

          If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the
board of directors, 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 6 and 7 of this Article II,
that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons
calling the meeting, not less than 35 nor more than 60 days after the receipt of
the request. If the notice is not given within 20 days after receipt of the
request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the notice.
Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 5 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.

          Section 6. NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING. All notices of meetings of
shareholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 7 of
this Article II not less than 10 nor more than 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, and that no other business 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. The notice
of any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the name of
the nominee or nominees whom, at the time of the notice, management intends to
present for election.

          If action is proposed to be taken at any meeting for approval of any
of the following, pursuant to the California General Corporation Law, the notice
shall also state the general nature of that proposal: (i) a contract or
transaction in which a director has a direct or indirect financial interest;
(ii) an amendment of the articles of incorporation; (iii) a reorganization of
the corporation; (iv) a voluntary dissolution of the corporation; and (v) a
distribution in dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of
outstanding preferred shares.

          Section 7. MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE. Notice of any
meeting of shareholders shall be given either personally or by first-class mail
or telegraphic or other written communication, charges prepaid, 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 address appears on the corporation's books or is given,
notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent to that shareholder by
first-


                                       2



class 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, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly
given without further mailing if these 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 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 may be executed by the secretary, assistant secretary, or
any transfer agent of the corporation giving the notice, and, if so executed,
shall be filed and maintained in the minute books of the corporation.

          Section 8. QUORUM. A majority of the shares entitled to vote,
represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of
shareholders. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of
the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter shall
be the act of the shareholders.

          The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a
quorum is present may continue to transact 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.

          Section 9. 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 the
meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum no other
business may be transacted at that meeting, except as provided in Section 8 of
this Article II.

          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 a meeting at which the
adjournment is taken, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is
fixed, or unless the adjournment is for more than 45 days from the date set for
the original meeting, in which case the board of directors shall set a new
record date. 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 6 and 7 of this Article II. At any adjourned
meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been
transacted at the original meeting.


                                       3



          Section 10. VOTING. The shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting
of shareholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section
13 of this Article II, subject to the provisions of the California General
Corporation Law relating to voting shares held by a fiduciary, in the name of a
corporation, or a joint ownership. Only Holders of Series A shares, voting
together as a series, shall be entitled to vote for election of Series A
Directors of the corporation and only Holders of Series B shares shall be
entitled to vote for election of Series B Directors.

          A shareholder who is not a licensed person or otherwise an eligible
shareholder, or who is a disqualified person shall not have voting rights.
Shares owned by such shareholders may not be counted for voting or quorum
purposes.

          Voting may be by voice or ballot, provided that any election of
directors must be by ballot if demanded by any shareholder before the voting
begins. Each shareholder entitled to vote at any election of directors shall
have the right to cumulate his votes and give one candidate a number of votes
equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes
to which his shares are entitled, or to distribute his votes on the same
principle among as many candidates as he desires. No shareholder shall be
entitled to cumulate votes unless the candidate or 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 candidates in nomination. The
candidates, up to the number of directors to be elected, receiving the highest
number of votes shall be elected.

          In voting on all other matters submitted to a vote of the
shareholders, each share shall be entitled to one vote, unless provided
otherwise in the articles of incorporation. Any holder of shares 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 vote them against the proposal but
if the shareholder fails to specify the number of shares such shareholder is
voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the shareholder's
approving vote is with respect to all shares such shareholder is entitled to
vote.

          Section 11. WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT SHAREHOLDERS. 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 each person entitled to vote who was not present
in person or by proxy either before or after the meeting signs a written waiver
of notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting, or an approval of the
minutes. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to
be 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
the matters specified in the second paragraph of Section 6 of this Article II,
the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of the proposal.
All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate
records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.


                                       4



          Attendance by a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of
notice of 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, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of
any right to object to the consideration of matters not included in the notice
of the meeting if that objection is expressly made at the meeting.

          Section 12. 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; provided,
however, that a director may be elected at any time to fill a vacancy on the
board of directors that has not been filled by the directors, other than a
vacancy created by removal, 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 filed with the secretary of the corporation and shall be
maintained in the corporate records. Any shareholder giving a written consent,
or the shareholder's proxy holder, 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 shall not have been received, the secretary shall give prompt
notice of the corporate action approved by the shareholders without a meeting.
This notice shall be given in the manner specified in Section 7 of this Article
II. In the case of approval of any of the following, pursuant to the California
General Corporation Law, the notice shall be given at least 10 days before the
consummation of any action authorized by that approval: (i) contracts or
transactions in which a director has a direct or indirect financial interest;
(ii) indemnification of agents of the corporation; (iii) a reorganization of the
corporation; or (iv) a distribution in dissolution other than in accordance with
the rights of outstanding preferred shares.

          Section 13. RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDER NOTICE, VOTING, AND GIVING
CONSENTS. For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of any
meeting or to vote 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 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of any such
meeting nor more than 60 days before any such action without a meeting, and in
this 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 articles of incorporation, or by agreement,
or in the California General Corporation Law.


                                       5



          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.

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

          Section 14. 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, provided that such authorized agent is a
shareholder of this corporation and a licensed person. 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) revoked by the person executing it, before the vote pursuant
to that proxy, by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy
is revoked, or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or attendance at the meeting
and voting in person by, the person executing the proxy, 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 11 months from the
date of the proxy, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. The revocability of a
proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the
provisions of the California General Corporation Law.

          Every form of proxy or written consent, which provides an opportunity
to specify approval or disapproval with respect to any proposal, may also
contain an appropriate space marked "abstain" whereby a shareholder may indicate
a desire to abstain from voting his or her shares on the proposal. A proxy
marked "abstain" by the shareholder with respect to a particular proposal shall
not be voted either for or against such proposal. In any election of directors,
any form of proxy in which the directors to be voted upon are named therein as
candidates and which is marked by a shareholder "withhold" or otherwise marked
in a manner indicating that the authority to vote for the election of directors
is withheld shall not be voted for the election of a director. Failure to comply
with this paragraph shall not invalidate any corporate action taken, but may be
the basis for challenging any proxy at a meeting.

          Section 15. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION. Before any meeting of
shareholders, the board of directors may appoint any persons other than nominees
for office to act as inspectors of election at the meeting or its adjournment.
If no inspectors of election are so


                                       6



appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and on the request of any
shareholder or a shareholder's proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election at
the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If
inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more shareholders
or proxies, 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 there are three (3) inspectors of election the decision, act or
certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or
certificate of all. If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or
fails or refuses to act, 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.

          These inspectors shall:

          (a) Determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of
each, the 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;

          (d) Count and tabulate all votes or consents;

          (e) Determine when the polls shall close;

          (f) Determine the result; and

          (g) Do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or
vote with fairness to all shareholders.

                                  ARTICLE III.
                                   DIRECTORS

          Section 1. POWERS. Subject to the provisions of the California General
Corporation Law and any limitations in the articles of incorporation and these
bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the shareholders or by the
outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed
and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the
board of directors.

          Without prejudice to these general powers, and subject to the same
limitations, the directors shall have the power to:

          (a) Select and remove all officers, agents, and employees of the
corporation; prescribe any powers and duties for them that are consistent with
law, with the articles of


                                       7



incorporation, and with these bylaws; fix their compensation; and require from
them security for faithful service.

          (b) Change the principal executive office or the principal business
office in the State of California from one location to another; cause the
corporation to be qualified to do business in any other state, territory,

California; and designate any place within or without the State of California
for the holding of any shareholders' meeting, or meetings, including annual
meetings.

          (c) Adopt, make, and use a corporate seal; prescribe the forms of
certificates of stock; and alter the form of the seal and certificates.

          (d) Authorize the issuance of shares of stock of the corporation on
any lawful terms, in consideration of money paid, labor done, services actually
rendered, debts or securities canceled, or tangible or intangible property
actually received; provided, the board of directors shall state by resolution
its determination of the fair value to the corporation in monetary terms of any
consideration other than money for which shares are issued.

          (e) Borrow money and incur indebtedness on behalf of the corporation,
and cause to be executed and delivered for the corporation's purposes, in the
corporate name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds of trust, mortgages,
pledges, hypothecations, and other evidences of debt and securities.

          (f) Provide and maintain security by insurance or otherwise, for
claims against the corporation or its employees for errors and omissions arising
out of the corporation's professional practice.

          (g) Negotiate and enter into contracts, agreements or other
instruments on behalf of the corporation or to delegate the authority therefor
to the appropriate officers.

          Section 2. NUMBER AND QUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS. The authorized
number of directors shall be three (3) until changed by a duly adopted amendment
to the articles of incorporation and an amendment to this bylaw made pursuant to
the provisions of Article IX, Section 1 of these bylaws, subject to the
provisions of the California General Corporation Law. Two of the directors shall
be elected by the affirmative vote of the Series A shareholders and shall be
referred to as Series A Directors. One director shall be elected by the
affirmative vote of the Series B shareholders and shall be referred to as a
Series B Director.

          Directors need not be residents of the State of California nor
shareholders of the corporation if the number of shareholders is three (3) or
more. If the number of shareholders is one (1), the corporation need have only
one (1) director who shall be such shareholder. If the number of shareholders is
two (2), the corporation need have only two (2) directors who shall be such
shareholders.


                                       8



          All directors shall hold a current valid license to practice medicine
or to practice the allied professions of podiatry; nursing; optometry;
psychology; marriage, family and child counseling; social work or physician's
assisting in California. If any director shall become a disqualified person,
that director shall immediately cease to be a director without the necessity of
corporate action and an election to fill the vacancy thus created shall be held
in accordance with Section 4 of this Article IV.

          Section 3. ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS. Directors shall
be elected at each annual meeting of the shareholders to hold office until the
next annual meeting; however, if any annual meeting is not held or the directors
are not elected at any annual meeting, they may be elected at any special
shareholders' meeting held for that purpose. Each director, including a director
elected to fill a vacancy or elected at a special shareholders' meeting, shall
hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until a
successor has been elected and qualified. A person holding the office of Series
B Director shall not be eligible for re-election until two years after the end
of that director's last term.

          Section 4. VACANCIES. A vacancy or vacancies in the board of directors
shall be deemed to exist in the event of death, resignation, or removal of any
director, or if 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, or if the authorized number of directors is increased, or
if the shareholders fail, at any meeting of shareholders at which any director
or directors are elected, to elect the full authorized number of directors to be
voted for at that meeting.

          Any director may resign effective on giving written notice to the
chairman of the board, the president, the secretary, or the board of directors,
unless the notice specifies a later time for that resignation to become
effective.

          The shareholders of the Series for which the vacancy or vacancies in
the board exists may elect a director or directors at any time, to fill that
Series' vacancy or vacancies, at a duly noticed meeting or by written consent.
Any such election by written consent, other than to fill a vacancy created by
removal, shall require the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of
that Series entitled to vote. An election by written consent to fill a vacancy
created by the removal of a director shall require the unanimous consent of the
outstanding shares of that Series entitled to vote.

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

          Section 5. PLACE OF MEETINGS AND MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE. Regular
meetings of the board of directors may be held at any place within or outside
the State of California that has been designated from time to time by resolution
of the board. In the absence of such designation, regular meetings shall be held
at the principal executive office of the corporation. Special meetings of the
board shall be held at any place within or outside the State of California that
has been designated in the notice of the meeting or, if not stated in the notice
or


                                       9



there is no notice, at the principal executive office of the corporation.
Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 5, a regular or special
meeting of the board of directors may be held at any place consented to in
writing by all the board members, either before or after the meeting. If
consents are given, they shall be filed with the minutes of the meeting. Any
meeting, regular or special, may be held by conference telephone or similar
communication equipment, so long as all directors participating in the meeting
can hear one another, and all such directors shall be deemed to be present in
person at the meeting.

          Section 6. ANNUAL MEETING. Immediately following each annual meeting
of shareholders, the board of directors shall hold a regular meeting for the
purpose of organization, any desired election of officers, and the transaction
of other business. Notice of this meeting shall not be required unless some
place other than the place of the annual shareholders' meeting has been
designated.

          Section 7. OTHER REGULAR MEETINGS. Other regular meetings of the board
of directors shall be held without call at such time as shall from time to time
be fixed by the board of directors and made a part of these bylaws by a notation
opposite this Section entered by the secretary or by amendment to this Section.
Such regular meetings may be held without notice.

          Section 8. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the board of
directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the chairman
of the board or the president or any vice president or the secretary or any two
directors.

          Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered
personally or by telephone to each director or sent by first-class mail or
telegram, charges prepaid, addressed to each director at that director's address
as it is shown on the records of the corporation. In case the notice is mailed,
it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four (4) days before
the time of the holding of the meeting. In case the notice is delivered
personally, or by telephone or telegram, it shall be delivered personally or by
telephone or to the telegraph company at least 48 hours before the time of the
holding of the meeting. Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be
communicated either to the director or to a person at the office of the director
who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate
it to the director. The notice need not specify the purpose of the meeting nor
the place if the meeting is to be held at the principal executive office of the
corporation.

          Section 9. QUORUM. A majority of the authorized number of directors
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except to adjourn as
provided in Section 11 of this Article III. Every act or decision done or made
by a majority of the directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum
is present shall be regarded as the act of the board of directors, subject to
the provisions of the California General Corporation Law (as to (i) approval of
contracts or transactions in which a director has a direct or indirect material
financial interest, (ii) appointment of committees, and (iii) indemnification of
directors). A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to
transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of


                                       10



directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the
required quorum for that meeting.

          Section 10. WAIVER OF NOTICE. The transactions of any meeting of the
board of directors, however called and noticed or 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
directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding the
meeting or an approval of the minutes. The waiver of notice or consent need not
specify the purpose of the meeting. All such waivers, consents, and approvals
shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the
meeting. Notice of a meeting shall also be deemed given to any director who
attends the meeting without protesting, before or at its commencement, the lack
of notice to that director.

          Section 11. ADJOURNMENT. A majority of the directors present, whether
or not constituting a quorum, may adjourn any meeting to another time and place.

          Section 12. NOTICE OF ADJOURNMENT. Notice of the time and place of
holding an adjourned meeting need not be given, unless the meeting is adjourned
for more than 24 hours, in which case notice of the time and place shall be
given before the time of the adjourned meeting to the directors who were not
present at the time of the adjournment.

          Section 13. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required or permitted
to be taken by the board of directors may be taken without a meeting, if all
members of the board shall individually or collectively consent in writing to
that action. Such action by written consent shall have the same force and effect
as a unanimous vote of the board of directors. Such written consent or consents
shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board.

          Section 14. FEES AND COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS. Directors and members
of committees may receive such compensation, if any, for their services, and
such reimbursement of expenses, as may be fixed or determined by resolution of
the board of directors. This Section 14 shall not be construed to preclude any
director from serving the corporation in any other capacity as an officer,
agent, employee, or otherwise, and receiving compensation for those services.

          Notwithstanding the above, income of the corporation attributable to
its practice of medicine while a shareholder is a disqualified person shall not
in any manner accrue to the benefit of that shareholder or his or her shares.

                                   ARTICLE IV.
                                   COMMITTEES

          Section 1. COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS. The board of directors may, by
resolution adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors,
designate one or more committees, each consisting of two or more directors, to
serve at the pleasure of the board. The


                                       11



board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee,
who may replace any absent member at any meeting of the committee. Any
committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the board, shall have all
the authority of the board, except with respect to:

          (a) The approval of any action which, under the General Corporation
Law of California, also requires shareholders' approval or approval of the
outstanding shares;

          (b) The filling of vacancies on the board of directors or in any
committee;

          (c) The fixing of compensation of the directors for serving on the
board or on any committee;

directors; or

          (g) The appointment of any other committees of the board of directors
or the members of these committees.

          Section 2. MEETINGS AND ACTION OF COMMITTEES. Meetings and action of
committees shall be governed by, and held and taken in accordance with, the
provisions of Article III of these bylaws, Section 5 (place of meetings), 7
(regular meetings), 8 (special meetings and notice), 9 (quorum), 10 (waiver of
notice), 11 (adjournment), 12 (notice of adjournment), and 13 (action without
meeting), with such changes in the context of those bylaws as are necessary to
substitute the committee and its members for the board of directors and its
members, except that the time of regular meetings of committees may be
determined either by resolution of the board of directors or by resolution of
the committee; special meetings of committees may also be called by resolution
of the board of directors; and notice of special meetings of committees shall
also be given to all alternate members, who shall have the right to attend all
meetings of the committee. Minutes shall be kept of each meeting of any
committee and shall be filed with the corporate records. The board of directors
may adopt rules for the governance of any committee not inconsistent with the
provisions of these bylaws.

                                       12



officers as may be appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of
this Article V. Any number of offices may be held by the same person, provided
that if the corporation has only one shareholder, such shareholder shall serve
as president and chief financial officer of the corporation. The remaining
officers in such situation need not be licensed persons. If the corporation has
two shareholders, the two shareholders between them shall fill the offices of
president, vice president, secretary and chief financial officer. So long as the
corporation has two or more shareholders, each officer shall be a licensed
person.

          Section 2. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The officers of the corporation,
except such officers as may be appointed in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3 of this Article V, shall be chosen by the board of directors, and each

officer under any contract of employment.

          Section 3. ADDITIONAL OFFICERS. The board of directors may appoint,
and may authorize the chairman of the board or the president or another officer
to appoint, any other officers that the business of the corporation may require,
each of whom shall have the title, hold office for the period, have the
authority, and perform the duties specified in the bylaws or determined from
time to time by the board of directors.

          Section 4. REMOVAL AND RESIGNATION OF OFFICERS. Subject to the rights,
if any, of an officer under any contract of employment, any officer may be
removed, either with or without cause, by the board of directors, at any regular
or special meeting of the board, or, except in case of an officer chosen by the
board of directors, by any officer upon whom such power of removal may be
conferred by the board of directors. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any
officer who becomes a disqualified person shall cease to be an officer
immediately on the effective date of disqualification, and his or her office
shall become vacant without the necessity of corporate action.

          Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the
corporation. Any resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of
that notice or at any later time specified in that notice; and, unless otherwise
specified in that notice, the acceptance of the resignation shall not be
necessary to make it effective. Any resignation is without prejudice to the
rights, if any, of the corporation under any contract to which the officer is a
party.

          Section 5. VACANCIES IN OFFICES. A vacancy in any office because of
death, resignation, removal, disqualification (including becoming a
"disqualified person") or any other cause shall be filled in the manner
prescribed in these bylaws for regular appointments to that office.

          Section 6. CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. The chairman of the board, if such
an officer be elected, shall, if present, preside at meetings of the board of

          Section 7. PRESIDENT. Subject to such supervisory powers, if any, as
may be given by the board of directors to the chairman of the board, if there be
such an officer, the president shall, subject to the control of the board of
directors, have general supervision, direction, and control of the business and
the officers of the corporation. He shall preside at all meetings of the
shareholders and, in the absence of the chairman of the board, or if there be
none, at all meetings of the board of directors. He shall have the general
powers and duties of management usually vested in the office of president of a
corporation, and shall have such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by
the board of directors or the bylaws.

          Section 8. VICE PRESIDENTS. In the absence or disability of the
president, the vice presidents, if any, in order of their rank as fixed by the
board of directors or, if not ranked, a vice president designated by the board
of directors, shall perform all the duties of the president, and when so acting
shall have all the powers of, and be subject to all the restrictions upon, the
president. The vice presidents shall have such other powers and perform such
other duties as from time to time may be prescribed for them respectively by the
board of directors or the bylaws, and the president, or the chairman of the
board.

          Section 9. SECRETARY. The secretary shall keep or cause to be kept, at
the principal executive office or such other place as the board of directors may

of directors and shareholders, with the time and place of holding, whether
regular or special, and, if special, how authorized, the notice given, the names
of those present at directors' meetings or committee meetings, the number of
shares present or represented at shareholders' meetings, and the proceedings.

          The secretary shall keep, or cause to be kept, at the principal
executive office or at the office of the corporation's transfer agent or

register, or a duplicate share register, showing the names of all shareholders
and their addresses, the number and classes of shares held by each, the number
and date of certificates issued for the same, and the number and date of
cancellation of every certificate surrendered for cancellation.

          The secretary shall give, or cause to be given, notice of all meetings
of the shareholders and of the board of directors required by the bylaws or by
law to be given, and he shall keep the seal of the corporation if one be
adopted, in safe custody, and shall have such other powers and perform such
other duties as may be prescribed by the board of directors or the bylaws.

          Section 10. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. The chief financial officer shall
keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, adequate and correct
books and records of accounts of the properties and business transactions of the
corporation, including accounts of its assets, liabilities, receipts,
disbursements, gains, losses, capital, retained earnings, and shares. The books
of account shall at all reasonable times be open to inspection by any director.

          The chief financial officer shall deposit all moneys and other
valuables in the name and to the credit of the corporation with such
depositaries as may be designated by the


                                       14



board of directors. He shall disburse the funds of the corporation as may be
ordered by the board of directors, shall render to the president and directors,
whenever they request it, an account of all of his transactions as chief
financial officer and of the financial condition of the corporation, and shall
have other powers and perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the
board of directors or the bylaws.

          If required by the board of directors the chief financial officer
shall give the corporation a bond in the amount and with the surety or sureties
specified by the board for faithful performance of the duties of his office and
for restoration to the corporation of all its books, papers, vouchers, money,
and other property of every kind in his possession or under his control on his
death, resignation, retirement or removal from office.

          Section 11. REIMBURSEMENT OF DISALLOWED PAYMENTS. Any payments made to
an officer, director, or employee of the corporation, including without
limitation salary payments, commissions, bonuses, interest payments, or
reimbursements for business or entertainment expenses incurred by him, that
shall be disallowed for federal or state income tax purposes in whole or in part
as a deductible expense of the corporation, shall be reimbursed to the
corporation by such officer, director, or employee to the full extent of the
disallowance within ninety (90) days after the corporation has been notified of
the disallowed amount. It shall be the duty of the board of directors to enforce
payment of each amount disallowed. In lieu of payment by the officer, director,
or employee, the board of directors of the corporation may withhold up to fifty
percent (50%) of any future salary payments or other payments due such officer,
director, or employee until the amount owed the corporation has been recovered.

                                   ARTICLE VI.
                     INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS,
                           EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS

          Section 1. AGENTS, PROCEEDINGS, AND EXPENSES. For the purposes of this
Article, "agent" means any person who is or was a director, officer, employee,
or other agent of this corporation, or is or was serving at the request of this
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another foreign or
domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or
was a director, officer, employee, or agent of a foreign or domestic corporation
which was a predecessor corporation of this corporation or of another enterprise
at the request of such predecessor corporation; "proceeding" means any
threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative; and "expenses" includes, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification
under Section 5 or 6(d) of this Article.

          Section 2. ACTIONS OTHER THAN BY THE CORPORATION. This corporation may
indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party,
to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of this corporation)
by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of this corporation,
against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with such


                                       15



proceeding if that person acted in good faith and in a manner that person
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of this corporation and its
shareholders and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause
to believe the conduct of that person was unlawful. The termination of any
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the
person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of this corporation or its shareholders or
that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was
unlawful.

          Section 3. ACTIONS BY THE CORPORATION. This corporation may indemnify
any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any
threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of this corporation
to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that person is or was
an agent of this corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by that person in connection with the defense or settlement of that action if
that person acted in good faith, in a manner that person believed to be in the
best interests of this corporation and its shareholders. No indemnification
shall be made under this Section 3:

          (a) In respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which that person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to this corporation in the performance of
that person's duty to this corporation and its shareholders, unless and only to
the extent that the court in which that action was brought shall determine upon
application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, that such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses, and then only
to the extent that the court shall determine;

          (b) of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a pending
action without court approval; or

          (c) of expenses incurred in defending a pending action of which is
settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval.

          Section 4. FURTHER INDEMNIFICATION BY AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Article, the corporation may provide for further
indemnification of an agent of the corporation against liability for breach of
duty to the corporation and its shareholders by:

          (a) agreement with such agent;

          (b) vote of the shareholders other than the proposed indemnitee, or

          (c) vote of the disinterested directors of the corporation.

          Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, no
indemnification of such agent may be made (i) for any acts, omissions or
transactions from which a director may not be relieved of liability as set forth
in the exceptions to paragraph (a) (10) of Section 204 of the


                                       16



California Corporations Code, or (ii) as to circumstances in which indemnity is
expressly prohibited by Section 317 of the California Corporations Code.

          Section 5. SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE BY AGENT. To the extent that an agent of
this corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any proceeding
referred to in Sections 2 or 3 of this Article, or in defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein, the agent shall be indemnified against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in connection therewith.

          Section 6. REQUIRED APPROVAL. Except as provided in Sections 4 and 5
of this Article, any indemnification under this Article shall be made by this
corporation only if authorized in the specific case on a determination that
indemnification of the agent is proper in the circumstances because the agent
has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 2 or 3 of this
Article, by:

          (a) a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not
parties to the proceeding;

          (b) if such a quorum of directors is not obtainable, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion;

          (c) approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of
this corporation entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a
quorum is present or by the written consent of holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote. For this purpose, the shares owned by the
person to be indemnified shall not be considered outstanding or entitled to vote
thereon; or

          (d) the court in which the proceeding is or was pending, on
application made by this corporation or the agent or the attorney or other
person rendering services in connection with the defense, whether or not such
application by the agent, attorney, or other person is opposed by this
corporation.

          Section 7. ADVANCE OF EXPENSES. Expenses incurred in defending any
proceeding may be advanced by this corporation before the final disposition of
the proceeding on receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the agent to
repay the amount of the advance if it shall be determined ultimately that the
agent is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article.

          Section 8. OTHER CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS. Nothing contained in this Article
shall affect any right to indemnification to which persons other than directors
and officers of this corporation or any subsidiary hereof may be entitled by
contract or otherwise.

          Section 9. LIMITATIONS. No indemnification or advance shall be made
under this Article, except as provided in Sections 4, 5, or 6(d), in any
circumstance where it appears:


                                       17



          (a) that it would be inconsistent with a provision of the articles, a
resolution of the shareholders, or an agreement in effect at the time of the
accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding in which the
expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise
limits indemnification; or

          (b) that it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed
by a court in approving a settlement.

          Section 10. INSURANCE. The board of directors may adopt a resolution
authorizing the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by
the agent in such capacity or arising out of the agent's status as such, whether
or not this corporation would have the power to indemnify the agent against that
liability under the provisions of this Article. If any portion of the shares of
the company issuing such policies of insurance is owned by this corporation, the
corporation will comply with the requirements of Section 317 (i) of the
California Corporations Code.

          Section 11. CONTINUATION OF RIGHTS. The rights to indemnity under this
Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer
or agent of the corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of that person.

          Section 12. FIDUCIARIES OF CORPORATE EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN. This
Article does not apply to any proceeding against any trustee, investment
manager, or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan in that person's
capacity as such, even though that person may also be an agent of the
corporation as defined in Section 1 of this Article. Nothing contained in this
Article shall limit any right to indemnification to which such a trustee,
investment manager, or other fiduciary may be entitled by contract or otherwise,
which shall be enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law.

                                  ARTICLE VII.
                               RECORDS AND REPORTS

          Section 1. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF SHARE REGISTER. The
corporation shall keep at its principal executive office, or at the office of
its transfer agent or registrar, if either be appointed and as determined by
resolution of the board of directors, a record of its shareholders, giving the
names and


                                       18



          The corporation shall also, on the written request of any shareholder,
mail to the shareholder a copy of the last annual, semi-annual, or quarterly
income statement which it has prepared, and a balance sheet as of the end of
that period.

          The income statements, statements of changes in financial position,
and balance sheet referred to in this section shall be accompanied by the
report, if any, of any independent accountants engaged by the corporation or 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.

          Section 7. ANNUAL STATEMENT OF GENERAL INFORMATION. As and when
required by the California General Corporation Law, the corporation shall file
with the Secretary of State of the State of California, on the prescribed form,
a statement setting forth the authorized number of directors, the names and
complete business or residence addresses of all incumbent directors, the names
and complete business or residence addresses of the chief executive officer,
secretary and chief financial officer, the street address of its principal
executive office or principal business office in this state, and the general
type of business constituting the principal business activity of the
corporation, together with a designation of the agent of the corporation for the
purpose of service of process.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.
                            GENERAL CORPORATE MATTERS

          Section 1. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be
fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors.

          Section 2. 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 entitled to
exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful action (subject to the
provisions of Article II, Section 11 of these bylaws), the board of directors
may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than 60 days before
any such action, and in that case only shareholders of record on the date so
fixed are entitled to receive the dividend, distribution, or allotment of rights
or to exercise the 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 California General Corporation Law, or by
agreement, or in the articles of incorporation.

          If the board of directors does not so fix a record date, 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
60th day before the date of that action, whichever is later.

          Notwithstanding the above, income of the corporation attributable to
its practice of medicine while a shareholder is a disqualified person shall not
in any manner accrue to the benefit of that shareholder or his or her shares.


                                       19



          Section 3. CHECKS, DRAFTS, EVIDENCES OF INDEBTEDNESS. All checks,
drafts, or other orders for payment of money, notes, or other evidences of
indebtedness, issued in the name of or payable to the corporation, shall be
signed or endorsed by such person or persons and in such manner as, from time to
time, shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors.

          Section 4. CORPORATE CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS; HOW EXECUTED. The
board of directors, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may 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, and this
authority may be general or confined to specific instances; and, 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.

          Section 5. CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES. A certificate or certificates for
shares of the capital stock of the corporation shall be issued to each
shareholder when any of these shares are fully paid. In addition to the issuance
of fully paid share certificates, the board of directors may authorize the
issuance of certificates for shares as partly paid provided that these
certificates shall state the amount of the consideration to be paid for them and
the amount paid. All certificates shall be signed in the name of the corporation
by the chairman of the board or vice chairman of the board or the president or
vice president and by the chief financial officer or an assistant treasurer or
the secretary or any 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 shall have ceased 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.

          If the shares of the corporation are classified or if any class of
shares has two or more series, there shall appear on the certificate one of the
following: (a) a statement of the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions granted to or imposed upon each class or series of shares
authorized to be issued and upon the holders thereof; (b) a summary of such
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions with reference to the
provisions of the articles of incorporation and any Certificate of Determination
establishing the same; (c) a statement setting forth the office or agency of the
corporation from which shareholders may obtain, upon request and without charge,
a copy of the statement referred to in (a) above.

          There shall also appear on the certificate the statements required by
all of the following clauses to the extent applicable: (1) the fact that the
shares are subject to restrictions upon transfer; (2) if the shares are
assessable or are not fully paid, a statement that they are assessable or, on
partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor
and the amount paid thereon; (3) the fact that the shares are subject to a close
corporation voting agreement or an irrevocable proxy or restrictions upon voting
rights contractually imposed by the


                                       20



corporation; (4) the fact that the shares are redeemable; and (5) the fact the
shares are convertible and the period for conversion, following the form of the
legend set forth in the California General Corporation Law.

          When the articles of incorporation are amended in any way affecting
the statements contained in the certificates for outstanding shares, or it
becomes desirable for any reason, in the discretion of the board of directors,
to cancel any outstanding certificate for shares and issue a new certificate
therefor conforming to the rights of the holder, the board of directors may
order any holders of outstanding certificates for shares to surrender and
exchange them for new certificates within a reasonable time to be fixed by the
board of directors.

          Section 6. LEGEND CONDITION. The share certificates of this
corporation shall bear a legend setting forth the restrictions on the share
ownership and transfer required by law, including the Professional Corporations
Regulations adopted from time to time by the Medical Board of California.

          Section 7. LOST CERTIFICATES. Except as provided in this Section 7, no
new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace an old certificate unless
the latter is surrendered to the corporation and canceled 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 a
replacement certificate on such terms and conditions as the board may require,
including provision for 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.

          Section 8. REPRESENTATION OF SHARES OF OTHER CORPORATION. All stock of
other corporations owned or held by the corporation for itself, or for other
parties in any capacity, shall be voted, and all proxies with respect thereto
shall be executed by the person authorized so to do by resolution of the board
of directors or in absence of such authorization, by the chairman of the board
or by the president or by any vice president.

          Section 9. CONSTRUCTION AND DEFINITIONS. Unless the context requires
otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the
California General Corporation Law shall govern the construction of these
bylaws, except when such provisions are in conflict with the Moscone-Knox
Professional Corporation Act. Without limiting the generality of the above, the
masculine gender includes the feminine and neuter, the singular number includes
the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term "person"
includes both a corporation and a natural person.

          "Licensed person" shall mean any natural person who is duly licensed
under the provisions of the Business and Professions Code to render the same
professional services as are or will be rendered by this corporation.


                                       21



          "Disqualified person" shall mean a licensed person who for any reason
becomes legally disqualified (temporarily or permanently) to render the
professional services which this corporation is or was rendering.

          "Approved by (or approval of) outstanding shares" shall mean approved
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the out-standing shares entitled to
vote. Such approval shall include the affirmative vote of a majority of the
outstanding shares of each class or series entitled, by any provision of the
articles or the California General Corporation Law, to vote as a class or series
on the subject matter being voted upon and shall also include the affirmative
vote of such greater proportion (including all) of the outstanding shares of any
class or series if such greater proportion is required by the articles or the
California General Corporation Law.

          "Approved by (or approval of) the shareholders" shall mean approved or
ratified by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote
represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present (which shares
voted affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum)
or by the written consent of shareholders or by the affirmative vote or written
consent of such greater proportion (including all) of the shares of any class or
series as may be provided in the articles or the California General Corporation
Law for all or any specified shareholder action.

                                   ARTICLE IX.
                                   AMENDMENTS

          Section 1. AMENDMENT BY SHAREHOLDERS. New bylaws may be adopted or
these bylaws may be amended or repealed by approval of the outstanding shares,
or their proxies, or by the written assent of these persons; provided, however,
that if the articles of incorporation of the corporation set forth the number of
authorized directors of the corporation, the authorized number of directors may
be changed only by an amendment of the articles of incorporation; and provided
further, that a bylaw or amendment of the articles reducing the 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 action by written consent are equal to more than 16 2/3% of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote.

          Section 2. AMENDMENT BY DIRECTORS. Subject to the right of
shareholders under Section 1 of this Article IX, bylaws other than a bylaw
fixing or changing the authorized number of directors may be adopted, amended,
or repealed by the board of directors. However, if the articles of incorporation
or bylaws adopted by the shareholders provide for an indefinite number of
directors within specified limits, the directors may adopt or amend a bylaw
fixing the exact number of directors within those limits.
