         These Bylaws contain provisions for the regulation and management of
the affairs of the Corporation. They are based in part upon provisions of the
Colorado Business Corporation Act and the Corporation's Articles of
Incorporation. If these Bylaws conflict with the Colorado Business Corporation
Act or the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, as the result of subsequent
changes in the Colorado Business Corporation Act, an intervening amendment of
the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or otherwise, the Colorado Business
Corporation Act and the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation shall govern.
Therefore, when using these Bylaws, reference should also be made to the then
current provisions of the Colorado Business Corporation Act and the
Corporation's Articles of Incorporation.

                                    ARTICLE I
                                  SHAREHOLDERS

         Section 1.1. Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Annual meeting of
shareholders shall be held on the date and at the time and place fixed from time
to time by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the first annual
meeting shall be held on a date that is within six months after the close of the
first fiscal year of the Corporation, and each successive annual meeting shall
be held on a date that is within the earlier of six months after the close of
the last year fiscal year or fifteen months after the last annual meeting.

         Section 1.2. Special Meeting of Shareholders. A special meeting of
shareholders for any purpose or purposes, may be called by the Board of
Directors or the President. The Corporation shall also hold a special meeting of
shareholders in the event it receives, in the manner specified in Section 7.3,
one or more written demands for the meeting, stating the purpose or purposes for
which the meeting is to be held, signed and dated by the holders of shares
representing not less than one-tenth (1/10) of all of the votes entitled to be
cast on any issue at the meeting. Special meetings shall be held at the
principal office of the Corporation or at such other place as the Board of
Directors or the President may determine.

         Section 1.3. Record Date for Determination of Shareholders.

                  (a) In order to make a determination of shareholders (1)
                  entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
                  shareholders or at any adjournment of a meeting of
                  shareholders, (2) entitled to demand a special meeting of
                  shareholders, (3) entitled to take any other action, (4)
                  entitled to receive payment of a share dividend or a
                  distribution, or (5) for any other purpose, the Board of
                  Directors may fix a future date as the record date for such
                  determination of shareholders. The record date may be fixed
                  not more than seventy (70) days before the date of the
                  proposed action.

                  (b) Unless otherwise specified when record date is fixed, the
                  time of day for determination of shareholders shall be as of
                  the Corporation's close of business on the record date.

                  (c) A determination of shareholders entitled to be given
                  notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders is effective
                  for any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of
                  Directors fixes a new record date, which the Board of
                  Directors shall do

   5


                  if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred
                  twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original
                  meeting.

                  (d) If no record date is otherwise fixed, the record date for
                  determining shareholders entitled to be given notice of and to
                  vote at an annual or special meeting of shareholders is the
                  day before the first notice is given to shareholders.

                  (e) The record date for determining shareholders entitled to
                  take action without a meeting pursuant to Section 1.10 is the
                  date a writing upon which the action is taken is first
                  received by the Corporation.

         Section 1.4. Voting List.

                  (a) After a record date is fixed for a meeting of
                  shareholders, the Secretary shall prepare a list of the names
                  of all the Corporation's shareholders who are entitled to be
                  given notice of the meeting. The list shall be arranged by
                  voting groups and within each voting group by class or series
                  of shares, shall be alphabetical within each class or series,
                  and shall show the address of, and the number of shares of
                  each such class and series that are held by, each shareholder.

                  (b) The list of shareholders shall be available for inspection
                  by any shareholder, beginning the earlier of ten days before
                  the meeting for which the list was prepared or two business
                  days after notice of the meeting is given and continuing
                  through the meeting, and any adjournment thereof, at the
                  Corporation's principal office or at a place identified in the
                  notice of the meeting in the city where the meeting will be
                  held.

                  (c) The Secretary shall make the list of shareholders
                  available for inspection at the meeting, and any shareholder
                  or agent or attorney of a shareholder is entitled to inspect
                  the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment.

         Section 1.5. Notice to Shareholders.

                  (a) The Secretary shall give notice to shareholders of the
                  date, time, and place of each annual and special meeting of
                  shareholders no fewer than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60)
                  days before the date of the meeting; except that, if the
                  Corporation's Articles of Incorporation are to be amended to
                  increase the number of authorized shares, at least thirty (30)
                  days' notice shall be given. Except as other wise required by
                  the Colorado Business Corporation Act, the Secretary shall be
                  required to give such notice only to shareholders entitled to
                  vote at the meeting.

                  (b) Notice of an annual meeting of shareholders need not
                  include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the
                  meeting is called unless a purpose of the meeting is to
                  consider an amendment to the Corporation's Articles of
                  Incorporation, a restatement of the Articles of Incorporation,
                  a plan of merger or share exchange, disposition of
                  substantially all of the property of the Corporation, consent
                  by the Corporation to the disposition of property by another
                  entity, or dissolution of the Corporation.

                  (c) Notice of a special meeting of shareholders shall include
                  a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting
                  is called.

                  (d) Notice of a meeting of shareholders shall be in writing
                  and shall be given:

                           (1) by deposit in the United States mail, properly
                           addressed to the shareholders' address of the
                           shareholder shown in the Corporation's current record
                           of shareholders, first class postage prepaid, and, if
                           so given, shall be effective when mailed, or

                           (2) by telegraph, teletype, electronically
                           transmitted facsimile, electronic mail, mail, or
                           private carrier or by personal delivery to the
                           shareholder, and, if so given, shall be effective
                           when actually received by the shareholder.

                  (e) If an annual or special meeting of shareholders is
                  adjourned to a different date, time, or place, notice need not
                  be given of the new date, time, or place if the new date,
                  time, or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment;
                  provided, however, that, if a new record date for the
                  adjourned meeting is fixed pursuant to Section 1.3(c), notice
                  of the adjourned meeting shall be given to persons who are
                  shareholders as of the new record date.

                  (f) If three successive notices are given by the Corporation,
                  whether with respect to a meeting of shareholders or
                  otherwise, to a shareholder and such notices are returned as
                  undeliverable, no further notices to such shareholder shall be
                  necessary until another address for the shareholder is made
                  known to the Corporation.

         Section 1.6. Quorum. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group
may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists
with respect to that matter. A majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the
matter by the voting group shall constitute a quorum of that voting group for
action on the matter. If a quorum does not exist with respect to any voting
group, the President or any shareholder or proxy that is present at the meeting,
whether or not a member of that voting group, may adjourn the meeting to a
different date, time, or place, and notice need not be given of the new date,
time, or place if the new date, time, or place is announced at the meeting
before adjournment (except as provided in the next sentence). If a new record
date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed pursuant to Section 1.3(c),
however, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given pursuant to Section 1.5
to persons who are shareholders as of the new record date. At any adjourned
meeting at which a quorum exists, any matter may be acted upon that could have
been acted upon at the meeting originally called, provided, however, that, if
new notice is given of the adjourned meeting, then such notice shall state the
purpose or purposes of the adjourned meeting sufficiently to permit action on
such matters. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting,
including the purpose of determining that a quorum exists, it is deemed present
for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of
that meeting, unless a new record date is or shall be set for that adjourned
meeting.

         Section 1.7. Voting Entitlement of Shares. Except as stated in the
Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, each outstanding share, regardless of
class, is entitled to one vote, and each fractional share is entitled to a
corresponding fractional vote, on each matter voted on at a meeting of
shareholders.

         Section 1.8. Proxies: Acceptance of Votes and Consents.

                  (a) A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy.

                  (b) An appointment of a proxy is not effective against the
                  Corporation until the appointment is received by the
                  Corporation. An appointment is valid for eleven months unless
                  a different period is expressly provided in the proxy
                  appointment form.

                  (c) The Corporation may accept or reject any appointment of a
                  proxy, revocation of appointment of a proxy, vote, consent,
                  waiver, or other writing purportedly signed by or for a
                  shareholder, if such acceptance or rejection is in accordance
                  with the provisions of Sections 7-107-203 and 7-107-205 of the
                  Colorado Business Corporation Act.

         Section 1.9. Waiver of Notice.

                  (a) A shareholder may waive any notice required by the
                  Colorado Business Corporation Act, the Articles of
                  Incorporation or these Bylaws, whether before or after the
                  date or time stated in the notice as the date or time when any
                  action will occur or has occurred. The waiver shall be in
                  writing, be signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice,
                  and be delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the
                  minutes or filing with the corporate records, but such
                  delivery and filing shall not be conditions of the
                  effectiveness of the waiver.

                  (b) A shareholder's attendance at a meeting waives objection
                  to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless
                  the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to
                  holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting
                  because of lack of notice or defective notice. The shareholder
                  also waives objection to consideration of a particular matter
                  at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes
                  described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder
                  objects to consideration of the matter when it is presented.

         Section 1.10. Action by Shareholders Without a Meeting. Any action
required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be taken
without a meeting if all of the shareholders entitled to vote on such action
consent to such action in writing. Action taken pursuant to this Section shall
be effective when the Corporation has received writings containing a description
of the action and the consent so given, signed by all of the shareholders
entitled to vote on such action. Action taken pursuant to this Section shall be
effective as of the date the last writing necessary to give effect the action is
received by the Corporation, unless all of the writings necessary to effect the
action specify another date, which may be before or after the date the writings
are received by the Corporation. Such action shall have the same effect as
action taken at a meeting of shareholders and may be described as such in any
document. Any shareholder who has signed a writing describing and consenting to
action taken pursuant to this Section may revoke such consent by a writing
signed by the shareholder describing the action and stating that the
shareholder's prior consent to such action is revoked, if such writing is
received by the Corporation before the action becomes effective.

         Section 1.11. Meetings by Telecommunications. Any or all of the
shareholders may participate in an annual or special meeting of shareholders by,
or the meeting may by conducted through the use of, any means of communication
by which all persons participating in the meeting may hear each other during the
meeting. A shareholder participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be
present in person at the meeting.

                                   ARTICLE II
                                    DIRECTORS

         Section 2.1. Authority of the Board of Directors. The corporate powers
shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of
the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of, a board of directors.

         Section 2.2. Number. The number of directors shall be fixed by
resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time and may be increased or
decreased by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors from time to time, but
no decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the
term of any incumbent director:

         Section 2.3. Qualification. Directors shall be natural persons at least
eighteen (18) years of age, but need not be residents of the State of Colorado
or shareholders of the Corporation.

         Section 2.4. Election. The Board of Directors shall be elected at the
annual meeting of the shareholders or at a special meeting of shareholders
called for that purpose.

         Section 2.5. Term. Each director shall be elected to hold office until
the next annual meeting of shareholders and until the director's successor is
elected and qualified.

         Section 2.6. Resignation. A director may resign at any time by giving
written notice of his or her resignation to any other director or (if the
director is not also the corporate secretary) to the Secretary of the
Corporation. The resignation shall be effective when it is received by the other
director or Secretary, as the case may be, unless the notice of resignation
specifies a later effective date. Acceptance of such resignation shall not be
necessary to make it effective unless the notice of resignation so provides.

         Section 2.7. Removal. Any director may be removed by the shareholders,
with or without cause, at a meeting called for that purpose. The notice of the
meeting shall state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is
removal of the director. A director may be removed only if the number of votes
cast in favor of removal exceeds the number of votes cast against removal. If
cumulative voting for directors applies at the time of the proposed removal, the
director may not be removed if the number of votes sufficient to elect the
director under cumulative voting is voted against such removal.

         Section 2.8 Vacancies.

                  (a) If a vacancy occurs on the Board of Directors, including a
                  vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors:




                                      -5-
   9



                           (1) The shareholders may fill the vacancy at the next
                           annual meeting or at a special meeting called for
                           that purpose; or

                           (2) The Board of Directors may fill the vacancy; or

                           (3) If the directors remaining in office constitute
                           fewer than a quorum of the Board of Directors, they
                           may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a
                           majority of all the directors remaining in office.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of 2.8(a) above, if the
                  vacant office was held by a director elected by a voting group
                  of shareholders, then, if one or more of the remaining
                  directors were elected by the same voting group, only such
                  directors are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is
                  filled by directors, and they may do so by the affirmative
                  vote of a majority of such directors remaining in office; and
                  only the holders of shares of that voting group are entitled
                  to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by the
                  shareholders.

                  (c) A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date, by
                  reason of a resignation that will become effective at a later
                  date under Section 2.6 or otherwise, may be filled before the
                  vacancy occurs, but the new director may not take office until
                  the vacancy occurs.

         Section 2.9. Meetings. The Board of Directors may hold regular or
special meetings within the State of Colorado or outside the State of Colorado.
The Board of Directors may, by resolution, establish dates, times and places for
regular meetings, which may thereafter be held without further notice. Special
meetings may be called by the President or by any two directors and shall be
held at the principal office of the Corporation unless another place is

of a single director, that director may act at any time, date, or place without
notice.

         Section 2.10. Notice of Special Meeting. Notice of a special meeting

prepaid; or the date shown on the return receipt if mailed by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, in the United States
mail and if the return receipt is signed by the director to which the notice is
addressed.

         Section 2.11. Quorum. Except as provided in Section 2.8, a majority of
the number of directors fixed in accordance with these Bylaws shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the Board of
Directors. The act of a majority of the directors present


                                      -6-
   10



at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of
Directors, except as otherwise specifically required by law.

         Section 2.12. Waiver of Notice.

                  (a) A director may waive any notice of a meeting before or
                  after the time and date of the meeting stated in the notice.
                  Except as provided by Section 2.12(b), the waiver shall be in
                  writing and shall be signed by the director. Such waiver shall
                  be delivered to the Secretary for filing with the corporate
                  records, but such delivery and filing shall not be conditions
                  of the effectiveness of the waiver.

                  (b) A director's attendance at, or participation in, a meeting
                  waives any required notice to him or her of the meeting
                  unless, at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon his
                  or her later arrival, the director objects to holding the
                  meeting or transacting business at the meeting because of lack
                  of notice or defective notice and does not thereafter vote for
                  or assent to action taken at the meeting.

         Section 2.13. Attendance by Telephone. One or more directors may
participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through
the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may
hear each other during the meeting. A director participating in a meeting by
this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

         Section 2.14. Deemed Assent to Action. A director who is present at a
meeting of the Board of Directors when corporate action is taken shall be deemed
to have assented to all action taken at the meeting unless:

                  (1) The director objects at the beginning of the meeting, or
                  promptly upon his or her arrival, to holding the meeting or
                  transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter
                  vote for or assent to any action taken at the meeting;

                  (2) The director contemporaneously requests that his or her
                  dissent or abstention as to any specific action taken be
                  entered in the minutes of the meeting; or

                  (3) The director causes written notice of his or her dissent
                  or abstention as to any specific action to be received by the
                  presiding officer of the meeting before adjournment of the
                  meeting or by the Secretary (or, if the director is the
                  Secretary, by another director) promptly after adjournment of
                  the meeting. The right of dissent or abstention pursuant to
                  this Section 2.14 as to a specific action is not available to
                  a director who votes in favor of the action taken.

         Section 2.15. Action by Directors Without a Meeting. Any action
required or permitted by .law to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors
may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors consent
to such action in writing. Action shall be deemed to have been so taken by the
Board of Directors at the time the last director signs a writing describing the
action taken, unless, before such time, any director has revoked his or her
consent by a writing signed by the director and received by the Secretary or any
other person authorized by these Bylaws or the Board of Directors to receive
such a revocation. Such action shall be effective at the time and date it is so
taken unless the directors establish a different effective time or date. Such
action has the same effect as action taken at a meeting of directors and may be
described as such in any document.

                  creation of a committee and appointment of members to it shall
                  require the approval of a majority of all the directors in
                  office when the action is taken, whether or not those
                  directors constitute a quorum of the Board of Directors.

                  meetings, action without meeting, notice, waiver of notice,
                  and quorum and voting requirements of the Board of Directors

                  constitute a quorum of the Board of Directors, each committee
                  shall exercise the authority of the Board of Directors with

                           action by, a committee does not alone constitute

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 5.1. Definitions. As used in this Article:

                  (a) "Corporation" includes any domestic or foreign entity that
                  is a predecessor of the Corporation by reason of a merger or
                  other transaction in which the predecessor's existence ceased
                  upon consummation of the transaction.

                  (b) "Director" means an individual who is or was a director of
                  the Corporation and an individual who, while a director of the

                  agent of another domestic or foreign corporation or other
                  person or of an employee benefit plan. A director shall be
                  considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the
                  Corporation's request if his or her duties to the Corporation
                  also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, the
                  director to the plan or to participants in, or beneficiaries
                  of, the plan. "Director" includes, unless the context requires
                  otherwise, the estate or personal representative of a

                  benefit plan, or reasonable expenses.

                  (e) "Official capacity" means, when used with respect to a
                  director, the office of director in the Corporation and, when

         Section 5.2. Authority to Indemnify Directors.

                  (a) Except as provided Section 5.2(d), the Corporation may
                  indemnify a person made a party to a proceeding because the
                  person is or was a director against liability incurred in the
                  proceeding if:

                           (1) The person conducted himself or herself in good
                           faith; and

                           (2) The person reasonably believed:

                                    (A) In the case of conduct in an official
                                    capacity with the Corporation, that his or
                                    her conduct was in the Corporation's best
                                    interests; and

                                    (B) In all other cases, that his or her
                                    conduct was at least not opposed to the
                                    Corporation's best interests; and

                           (3) In the case of any criminal proceeding, the
                           person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
                           conduct was unlawful.

                  (b) A director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit
                  plan for a purpose the director reasonably believed to be in
                  the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the
                  plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement of Section
                  5.2(a)(2)(B). A director's conduct with respect to an employee
                  benefit plan for a purpose that the director did not
                  reasonably believe to be in the interests of the participants
                  in or beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed not to satisfy
                  the requirement of Section 5.2(a)(1).

                  (c) The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order,
                  settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
                  its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the
                  director did not meet the standard of conduct described in
                  this Section 5.2.

                  (d) The Corporation may not indemnify a director under this
                  Section 5.2:

                           (1) In connection with a proceeding by or in the
                           right of the Corporation in which the director was
                           adjudged liable to the Corporation; or

                           (2) In connection with any other proceeding charging
                           that the director derived an improper personal
                           benefit, whether or not involving action in an
                           official capacity, in which proceeding the director
                           was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she
                           derived an improper personal benefit.

                  (e) Indemnification permitted under this Section 5.2 in
                  connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
                  Corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in
                  connection with the proceeding.

         Section 5.3. Mandatory Indemnification of Directors. The Corporation
shall indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise,
in defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person
is or was a director, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in
connection with the proceeding.

         Section 5.4. Advance of Expenses to Directors.

                  (a) The Corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable
                  expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding
                  in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if:

                           (1) The director furnishes the Corporation a written
                           affirmation of the director's good-faith belief that
                           he or she has met the standard of conduct described
                           in Section 5.2.

                           (2) The director furnishes the Corporation a written
                           undertaking, executed personally or on the director's
                           behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately
                           determined that he or she did not meet such standard
                           of conduct; and

                           (3) A determination is made that the facts then known
                           to those making the determination would not preclude
                           indemnification under this Article.

                  (b) The undertaking required by Section 5.4(a)(2) shall be an
                  unlimited general obligation of the director, but need not be
                  secured and may be accepted without reference to financial
                  ability to make repayment.

                  (c) Determinations and authorizations of payments under this
                  Section 5.4 shall be made in the manner specified in Section
                  5.6.

         Section 5.5. Court-Ordered Indemnification of Directors. A director who
is or was a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification to the court
conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On
receipt of an application, the court, after giving any notice the court
considers necessary, may order indemnification in the following manner:

                           (1) If the court determines that the director is
                           entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section
                           5.3, the court shall order indemnification, in which
                           case the court shall also order the Corporation to
                           pay the director's reasonable expenses incurred to
                           obtain court-ordered indemnification.

                           (2) If it determines that the director is fairly and
                           reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all
                           the relevant circumstances, whether or not the
                           director met the standard of conduct set forth in
                           Section 5.2(a) or was adjudged liable in the
                           circumstances described in Section 5.2(d), the court
                           may order such indemnification as the court deems
                           proper; except that the


                                      -13-
   17


                           indemnification with respect to any proceeding in
                           which liability shall have been adjudged in the
                           circumstances described in Section 5.2(d) is limited
                           to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
                           the proceeding and reasonable expenses incurred to
                           obtain court ordered indemnification.

         Section 5.6. Determination and Authorization of Indemnification of
Directors.

                  (a) The Corporation may not indemnify a director under Section
                  5.2 unless authorized in the specific case after a
                  determination has been made that indemnification of the
                  director is permissible under the circumstances because the
                  director met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.2.
                  The Corporation shall not advance expenses to a director under
                  Section 5.4 unless authorized in the specific case after the
                  written affirmation and undertakings required by Sections
                  5.4(a)(1) and 5.4(a)(2) are received and the determination
                  required by Section 5.4(a) (3) has been made.

                  (b) The determination required by Section 5.6(a) shall be
                  made:

                           (1) By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of
                           those present at a meeting at which a quorum is
                           present, and only those directors not parties to the
                           proceeding shall be counted in satisfying the quorum;
                           or

                           (2) If a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority
                           vote of a committee of the Board of Directors
                           designated by the Board of Directors, which committee
                           shall consist of two or more directors not parties to
                           the proceeding; except that directors who are parties
                           to the proceeding may participate in the designation
                           of directors for the committee.

                  (c) If the quorum cannot be obtained as contemplated in
                  Section 5.6(b)(1), and a committee cannot be established under
                  Section 5.6(b)(2) if a quorum is obtained or a committee is
                  designated, if a majority of the directors constituting such
                  quorum or such committee so directs, the determination
                  required to be made by Section 5.6(a) shall be made:

                           (1) By independent legal counsel selected by a vote
                           of the Board of Directors or the committee in the
                           manner specified in Section 5.6(b)(1) or 5.6(b)(2),
                           or, if a quorum of the full Board of Directors cannot
                           be obtained and a committee cannot be established, by
                           independent legal counsel selected by a majority vote
                           of the full Board of Directors; or

                           (2) By the shareholders.

                  (d) Authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses
                  shall be made in the same manner as the determination that
                  indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible; except
                  that, if the determination that indemnification or advance of
                  expenses is permissible is made by independent legal counsel,
                  authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall
                  be made by the body that selected such counsel.

         Section 5.7. Indemnification of Officers, Employees, Fiduciaries, and
Agents.

                  (a) An officer is entitled to mandatory indemnification under
                  Section 5.3 and is entitled to apply for court-ordered
                  indemnification under Section 5.5, in each case to the same
                  extent as a director;

                  (b) The Corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an
                  officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation to
                  the same extent as to a director; and

                  (c) The Corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to
                  an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent who is not a
                  director to a greater extent than is provided in these Bylaws,
                  if not inconsistent with public policy, and if provided for by
                  general or specific action of its Board of Directors or

employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee,
fiduciary, or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation or other person
or of an employee benefit plan, against any liability asserted against or
incurred by the person in that capacity or arising out of his or her status as a
director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent, whether or not the Corporation
would have the power to indemnify the person against the same liability under
Section 5.2, 5.3, or 5.7. Any such insurance may be procured from any insurance
company designated by the Board of Directors, whether such insurance company is
formed under the laws of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction of the
United States or elsewhere, including any insurance company in which the
Corporation has equity or any other interest, through stock ownership or
otherwise.

         Section 5.9. Notice to Shareholders of Indemnification of Director. If
the Corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to a director under this
Article in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation,
the Corporation shall give written notice of the indemnification or advance to
the shareholders with or before the notice of the next meeting of shareholders.
If the next shareholder action is taken without a meeting at the instigation of
the Board of Directors, such notice shall be given to the shareholders at or
before the time the first shareholder signs a writing consenting to such action.

                  of a certification complying with the procedure, the persons
                  specified in the certification shall be deemed, for the
