                     PSYCHIATRIC MANAGEMENT RESOURCES, INC.

                            A California Corporation

                                    ARTICLE I

                                     OFFICES

         Section 1. Principal Offices.

         The Board of Directors shall fix the location of the principal
executive office of the Corporation at any place within or outside the State of
California. If the principal executive office is located outside this state, and
the Corporation has one or more business offices in this state, the Board of
Directors shall fix and designate a principal business office in the State of
California.

         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

                              SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS

         Section 1. Place of Meetings.

         All meetings of the Shareholders shall be held at the office of the
Corporation, in the State of California, or at some other appropriate and
convenient location within or outside the State of California as may be
designated for that purpose from time to time by the Board of Directors.

         Section 2. Annual Meetings.

         The annual meeting of the Shareholders shall be held, each year, at the
time and on the day following:

         Time of Meeting: 4:00 p.m.

         Date of Meeting: First Tuesday in December



                                       1



or at such other date and time as may be fixed by the Board of Directors;
provided however, that such date shall not be later than fifteen (15) months
after (i) the organization of the Corporation, or (ii) the last annual meeting
of Shareholders. If this day shall be a legal holiday, then the meeting shall be
held on the next succeeding business day, at the same hour. At the annual
meeting, the Shareholders shall elect a Board of Directors, consider reports of
the affairs of the Corporation and transact such other business as may properly
be brought before the meeting.

         Section 3. Special Meeting.

         A special meeting of the Shareholders may be called at any time by the
Board of Directors, or by the Chairman of the Board, or by the President, or by
one or more Shareholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not
less than ten percent (10%) of the votes at that meeting.

         Upon request in writing to the Chairman of the Board, the President,
any Vice President or the Secretary by any person (other than the Board)
entitled to call a special meeting of Shareholders, the Officer forthwith shall
cause notice to be given to the Shareholders entitled to vote that a meeting
will be held at a time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting,
not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt
of the request. If the notice is not given within twenty (20) days after receipt
of the request, the person entitled to call the meeting may give the notice or
apply to the Superior Court to order such notice to be given as provided in
Section 305(c) of the Corporations Code. Nothing contained in this paragraph of
this Section 3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when
a meeting of Shareholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be
held.

         Section 4. Notice of Meeting.

         Notice of meetings, annual or special, shall be given in writing not
less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting,
to Shareholders entitled to vote thereat by the Secretary or the Assistant
Secretary, or if there be no such Officer, or in the case of his neglect or
refusal, by any Director or Shareholder. Such notices or any reports shall be
given personally or by mail or other means of written communication as provided
in Section 601 of the Corporations Code and shall be sent to the Shareholder's
address appearing on the books of the Corporation, or supplied by him to the
Corporation for the purpose of notice. If a Shareholder supplies no address,
notice shall be deemed to have been given to him if mailed to the place where
the principal executive office of the Corporation, in California, is situated,
or published at least once in some newspaper of general circulation in the
County of said principal office.



                                       2


         Such notice shall state 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 no other business may be transacted, or (ii) in the case of the
annual meeting, those matters which, the Board, at the time of the mailing of
the notice, intends to present for action by the Shareholders, but, subject to
the provisions of applicable law, any proper matter may be presented at the
meeting for such action. The notice of any meeting at which Directors are to be
elected shall include the names of nominees intended at the time of the notice
to be presented by management for election.

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

         Notice shall be deemed given at the time it is delivered personally or
deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication. The
Officer giving such notice or report shall prepare and file an affidavit or
declaration thereof in the corporate minute book.

         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 (1) year from the date of the giving of the
notice.

         Section 5. Waiver of Consent to Shareholder Meeting.

         The transactions of any meeting of Shareholders, however called and
noticed, shall be valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call
and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy, and if, either
before or after the meeting, each of the Shareholders entitled to vote, not
present in person or by proxy, sign a written waiver of notice, or a consent to
the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such
waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made
a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance shall constitute a waiver of
notice, unless objection shall be made as provided in Section 60l(e) of the
Corporations Code. Provided that if action is


                                       3


proposed to be taken at any meeting for approval of (i) a contract or a
transaction in which a Director has a direct or individual financial interest,
pursuant to Section 310 of the Corporations Code, (ii) an amendment of the
articles of incorporation pursuant to Section 902 of that Code, (iii) a
reorganization of the Corporation pursuant to Section 1201 of that Code, (iv) a
voluntary dissolution of the Corporation pursuant to Section 1900 of that Code,
or (v) a distribution and dissolution other than in accordance with the rights
of outstanding preferred shares, pursuant to Section 2007 of that Code, then the
written waiver of notice shall state the general nature of that proposal, unless
there is unanimous Shareholder approval by those entitled to vote.

         Section 6. Adjourned Meeting and Notice Thereof.

         Any Shareholders' meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may be
adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares, the holders
of which are either present in person or represented by proxy thereat, but in
the absence of a quorum (except as provided in Section 8 of this Article) no
other business may be transacted at such meeting.

         It shall not be necessary to give any notice of the time and place of
the adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted thereat, other than by
announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken; provided
however, when any Shareholders' meeting is adjourned for more than forty-five
(45) days or, if after adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned
meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an
original meeting.

         Section 7. Shareholders Acting Without A Meeting.

                           A. In General. Unless otherwise provided in the
articles, 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, shall be signed by the
holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes
that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which
all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. All such consents
shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be maintained in
the corporate records.

                           B. Election of Directors. 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, by the written
consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote
for the election of Directors.

                           C. Notice Requirements. If the consents of all
Shareholders entitled to vote have not been solicited in writing, and if the
unanimous written



                                       4


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. In the case of approval of (i) contracts or transactions in
which a Director has a direct or indirect financial interest, pursuant to
Section 310 of the Corporations Code, (ii) indemnification of agents of the
Corporation, pursuant to Section 317 of that Code, (iii) a reorganization of the
Corporation, pursuant to Section 1201 of that Code, and (iv) a distribution in
dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred
shares, pursuant to Section 2007 of that Code, the notice shall be given at
least ten (10) days before the consummation of any action authorized by that
approval.

                           D. Revocation of Consent. Any Shareholder giving a
written consent, or the Shareholder's proxy holders, or a transferee of the
shares of a personal representative of the Shareholder or their respective proxy
holders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by the Corporation prior
to the time that written consents of the number of shares required to authorize
the proposed action have been filed with the Secretary of the Corporation, but
may not do so thereafter. Such revocation is effective upon its receipt by the
Secretary of the Corporation.

         Section 8. Quorum.

         The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat,
present in person, or represented by proxy, shall be requisite and shall
constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Shareholders for the transaction of
business except as otherwise provided by law, by the articles of incorporation,
or by these Bylaws. If, however, such majority shall not be present or
represented at any meeting of the Shareholders, the Shareholders entitled to
vote thereat, present in person, or by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn
the meeting from time to time, until the requisite amount of voting shares shall
be present. At such adjourned meeting at which the requisite amount of voting
shares shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have
been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

         If a quorum be initially present, the Shareholders may continue to
transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
Shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken is approved by a
majority of the Shareholders required to initially constitute a quorum.

         Section 9. Voting.

         Subject to the provisions of Sections 702 to 704, inclusive, of the
Corporations Code (relating to voting shares held by a fiduciary, in the name of
a Corporation, or in joint ownership), only persons in whose names shares
entitled to vote stand on the stock records of the Corporation on the day fixed
by the Board of Directors for



                                       5


the determination of Shareholders of record shall be entitled to vote at such
meeting.

         On any matter other than election of Directors, each Shareholder may
cast one vote for each share owned of record. 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 (other than the election of Directors) shall be
the act of the Shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by
classes is required by Corporations Code or by the articles of incorporation.

         At a Shareholders' meeting at which Directors are to be elected, no
Shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for any one or more
candidates a number of votes greater than the number of the Shareholder's
shares) unless the candidates' names have been placed in nomination prior to
commencement of the voting and a Shareholder has given notice prior to
commencement of the voting of the Shareholder's intention to cumulate votes. If
any Shareholder has given such a notice, then every Shareholder entitled to vote
may cumulate votes for candidates in nomination 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 that Shareholder's shares are entitled, or distribute the
Shareholder's votes on the same principle among any or all of the candidates, as
the Shareholder thinks fit. The candidates receiving the highest number of
votes, up to the number of Directors to be elected, shall be elected.

         Section 10. 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 sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of
any such meeting nor more than sixty (60) days before any such action without a
meeting, and in 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 Corporations Code.

         If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date:

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



                                       6


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

                           (c) The determination of Shareholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders shall apply to any adjournment
of the meeting unless the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned
meeting. The Board shall fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned for
more than forty-five (45) days from the date set forth for the original meeting.

         Section 11. Proxies.

         Every person entitled to vote for Directors or on any other matter
shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents
authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the Secretary
of the Corporation. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the Shareholder's name is
placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic
transmission, or otherwise) by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's
attorney-in-f act. 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 eleven (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
Sections 705(e) and 705(f) of the Corporations Code.

         Section 12. Organization.

         The President, or in the absence of the President, any Vice President,
shall call the meeting of the Shareholders to order, and shall act as Chairman
of the meeting. In the absence of the President and all of the Vice Presidents,

Corporation shall act as Secretary of all meetings of the Shareholders, but in
the absence of the Secretary at any meeting of the Shareholders, the presiding
Officer may appoint any person to act as Secretary of the meeting.

         Section 13. 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 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
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.

         The duties of such inspectors shall be as prescribed by Section 707(b)
of the Corporations Code and shall include: determining the number of shares
outstanding and the voting power of each; the shares represented at the meeting;
the existence of a quorum; the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies;
receiving votes, ballots, or consents; hearing and determining all challenges
and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; counting
and tabulating all votes or consents; determining when the polls shall close;
determining the result; and doing such acts as may be proper to conduct the
election or vote with fairness to all Shareholders. 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.

                                   ARTICLE III

                              DIRECTORS: MANAGEMENT

         Section 1. Powers.

         Subject to the provisions of the Corporations Code, 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.

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



                                       8


         Section 2. Number and Qualification of Directors.

         The authorized number of Directors shall be three (3) until changed by
a duly adopted amendment to this bylaw adopted by the vote or written consent of
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote; provided
however, that an amendment reducing the 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 sixteen and two-thirds percent (16-2/3%) of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote.

         If such authorized number is less than three (3) and if at any time
hereafter the number of Shareholders increases, the Shareholders shall amend
this Section 2 of Article III of the Bylaws to increase the number of Directors
herein authorized as required by Section 212(a) of the Corporations Code, which
provides that the Board of Directors shall consist of at least one (1) Director
if the Corporation has only one (1) Shareholder, at least two (2) Directors if
the Corporation has only two (2) Shareholders, and at least three (3) Directors
if the Corporation has three (3) or more Shareholders. The number of Directors
herein provided may be changed by amendment adopted by the vote or written
assent of Shareholders entitled to' exercise a majority of the voting power.
Directors shall be Shareholders of the Corporation.

         Section 3. Election and Tenure of Office.

         The Directors shall be elected by ballot at the annual meeting of the
Shareholders, to serve for one (1) year or until their successors are elected
and have qualified. Their term of office shall begin immediately after election.

         Section 4. Vacancies.

         Vacancies in the Board of Directors may be filled by a majority of the
remaining Directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director,
except that a vacancy created by the removal of a Director by the vote or
written consent of the Shareholders or by court order may be filled only by the
vote of a majority of the shares 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. Each Director so elected
shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the Shareholders and until a
successor has been elected and qualified.

         A vacancy or vacancies in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to
exist in the event of the death, resignation, or removal of any Director, 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 number of Directors to be voted for at that meeting.



                                       9


         The Shareholders may elect a Director or Directors at any time to fill
any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the Directors, but 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 entitled to vote.

         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. If the resignation of a Director is effective at a future time, the
Board of Directors may elect a successor to take office when the resignation
becomes effective.

         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. Removal of Directors.

         The entire Board of Directors or any individual Director may be removed
from office as provided by Sections 302, 303, and 304 of the Corporations Code
of the State of California. In such case, the remaining Board members may elect
a successor Director to fill such vacancy for the remaining unexpired term of
the Director so removed.

         Section 6. Place and Manner of Meetings.

         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 a 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 there is no notice, at the principal executive
office of the Corporation.

         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 7. 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.

         Section 8. 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 resolution of the Board
of Directors. Such regular meetings may be held without notice.

         Section 9. 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 (2) Directors, or by one (1) Director
if only one is provided.

         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 forty-eight (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 10. Waiver of Notice.

         When all of the Directors are present at any Directors' meeting,
however called or noticed, and either (i) sign a written consent thereto on the
records of such meeting, or, (ii) if a majority of the Directors are present and
if those not present sign a waiver of notice of such meeting or a consent to
holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof, whether prior to or
after the holding of such meeting, which said waiver, consent or approval shall
be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting
held pursuant thereto, or, (iii) if a Director attends a meeting without notice
but without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice
to him, then the transactions thereof are as valid as if had at a meeting
regularly called and noticed.

         Section 11. Sole Director Provided by Articles of Incorporation.

         In the event only one (1) Director is required by the Bylaws or
articles of incorporation, then any reference herein to notices, waivers,
consents, meetings or other actions by a majority or quorum of the Directors
shall be deemed to refer to such notice, waiver, etc., by such sole Director,
who shall have all the rights and



                                       11


duties and shall be entitled to exercise all of the powers and shall assume all
the responsibilities otherwise herein described as given to a board of
directors.

         Section 12. Directors Acting by Unanimous Written Consent.

         Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors
may be taken without a meeting and with the same force and effect as if taken by
a unanimous vote of Directors, if authorized by a writing signed individually or
collectively by all members of the Board. Such consent shall be filed with the
regular minutes of the Board.

         Section 13. 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
14 of this Article III; provided however, that such quorum may not be less than
two (2) Directors unless the authorized number of Directors is one (1), in which
case one (1) Director constitutes a quorum. 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 Section 310 of the Corporations Code (as to approval of
contracts or transactions in which a Director has a direct or indirect material
financial interest), Section 311 of that Code (as to appointment of committees)
and Section 317(e) of that Code (as to indemnification of Directors). A meeting
at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business
notwithstanding the withdrawal of Directors, if any action taken is approved by
at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

         Section 14. Adjournment.

         A majority of the Directors present, whether or not a quorum is
present, may adjourn any Directors' meeting to another time and place. Notice of
the time and place of holding an adjourned meeting need not be given to absent
Directors if the time and place be fixed at the meeting adjourned. If the
meeting is adjourned for more than twenty-four (24) hours, notice of any
adjournment to another time or place shall be given prior to the time of the
adjourned meeting to the Directors who were not present at the time of the
adjournment.

         Section 15. Compensation of Directors.

         Directors, as such, shall not receive any stated salary for their
services, but by resolution of the Board a fixed sum and expense of attendance,
if any, may be allowed for attendance at each regular and special meeting of the
Board; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any
Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving
compensation therefor.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                          INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS,
                      OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS

         Section 1. Right to Indemnification.

         The Corporation shall, to the maximum extent permitted under the
existing or as hereafter amended Corporations Code, and in excess of that
otherwise expressly permitted by Section 317 of the Corporations Code, indemnify
and hold harmless each of its agents and their successors, heirs, and assigns
against any and all personal liability, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements
and other amounts (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by the agent in connection with any actual, threatened, or alleged dispute,
claim, action, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, or administrative,
arising by reason of the fact any such person is or was an agent of the
Corporation; subject only to the limitation set forth in Section 204(a)11 of the
Corporations Code that an agent of the Corporation shall be neither indemnified
nor held harmless for any acts or omissions or transactions from which a
director may not be relieved of liability as set forth in Section 204(a)10 of
the Corporations Code, or as to circumstances in which indemnity is expressly
prohibited by Section 317 of the Corporations Code.

         Except as provided in Section 2 of this Article VI with respect to
proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall
indemnify any such agent seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding
(or part thereof) initiated by such agent only if such proceeding (or part
thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right
to indemnification conferred in this Article VI shall be a contract right and
shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in
defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,
however, that, if the Corporations Code so requires, the payment of such
expenses incurred by an agent in such agent's capacity as an agent in advance of
the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the
Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such agent, to repay all
amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such agent is not
entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise.

         For purposes of this Article VI, an "agent" of the Corporation includes
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or other agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise, or was a director, officer, employee, or
agent of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or
of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.



                                       17


         Section 2. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.

         If a claim under Section 1 of this Article VI is not paid in full by
the Corporation within ninety (90) days after a written claim has been received
by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against
the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claims and, if successful in
whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of
prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an
action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any
proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking,
if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has
not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the
Corporations Code for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount
claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation.
Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors,
independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination
prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is
proper in the circumstances because the claimant has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in the Corporations Code, nor an actual determination by
the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or
its shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the
claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

         Section 3. Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

         The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in
defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this
Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or
hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the articles of incorporation,
by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, opinion of
independent legal counsel, or otherwise. The rights to indemnity set forth in
this Article VI shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors, and administrators of such person.

         Section 4. Insurance.

         In order to meet any of its obligations under this Section the
Corporation may 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

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

amendment to such permit or a new permit be first issued so authorizing such a
deletion.
