            2. They hereby adopt the following amendment of the Articles of
Incorporation of this corporation:

            A new Article FIFTH is hereby added, to read in full as follows:

            FIFTH: Subject to the provisions of this Article FIFTH, the holders
      of common shares of this corporation shall have the exclusive right to
      purchase any common shares of the corporation, and any rights, options,
      warrants or other instruments of securities exchangeable for, or
      convertible into, common shares, or evidencing any right to subscribe for,
      purchase or otherwise acquire common shares, in each event, to the extent
      issued for cash by the corporation. The portion of the securities which
      each shareholder shall have the right to purchase in any such issuance
      shall be in the same percentage of the total number (or principal amount)
      of securities to be issued as the ratio which the number of common shares
      held of record by such shareholder on the date set to determining the
      shareholders entitled to such right, bears to the total number of common
      shares at the time outstanding. After giving notice of any proposed
      issuance of common shares and affording the holders of outstanding common
      shares the opportunity to purchase such shares during a period of twenty
      (20) days after the giving of such notice, the corporation may thereafter
      sell any of such common shares unsold which are not purchased by holders
      of common shares without further offering them to holders of common
      shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied
      hereinabove, the corporation may issue shares of its common stock now or
      hereafter authorized without first offering the same to the shareholders
      of the corporation upon exercise of any stock option or warrant granted
      to, or upon exercise of any stock option or warrant granted by, any
      employee of the corporation pursuant to any stock option, stock bonus,
      stock purchase or other similar employee benefit plan or incentive program
      adopted by the corporation with the affirmative vote or written


      consent of the majority of the outstanding common shares of the
      corporation, and similarly may grant options, warrants or stock purchase
      rights under any one or more of such plans or programs approved by the
      common shareholders of this corporation without first offering the same to
      shareholders of the corporation.

            3. No shares have been issued.

      of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of any
      series then outstanding, in case the number of shares of such series be
      so increased, the shares outstanding upon such increase shall resume
      the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution
      originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

                  Upon this amendment becoming effective, each issued and
      outstanding share of Common stock is reclassified as one share of $0.001
      par value of Common stock, and each issued and outstanding share of

      require the affirmative vote of 91% of the shares entitled to vote."

      Article SEVENTH is added to read as follows:

      "A quorum at all meetings of the Board of Directors, except as provided
      herein, shall consist of no less than five members of the Board. The
      affirmative vote of no less than five directors shall be required for the
      following action:

            At any meeting of the Board of Directors to consider the resignation
      and removal of directors, a quorum shall consist of five directors, and
