damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California
law.


                                   ARTICLE V

                 Any action required or permitted to be taken by the
shareholders of the corporation must be effected at an annual or special
meeting of shareholders of the corporation and may not be effected by any
consent in writing of such shareholders.

                 The corporation is authorized to indemnify its agents to the

provision, the term "agent" has the meaning set forth from time to time in

nominees for director up to the number of directors to be elected.  The
shareholder may not cast more votes for any single nominee than the number of
shares held by that shareholder.  This Article VIII shall become effective only
when the corporation becomes a "listed corporation" within the meaning of the
California Corporations Code Section 301.5(d).

herein are granted subject to this reservation.

                 (B)      Notwithstanding any other provision of the articles
of incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser

incorporation or any Preferred Stock Designation, the affirmative vote of the
