SIXTH:  The following provisions are inserted for the management of the
business and for the conduct of the affairs of the corporation, and the
same are in furtherance of and not in limitation or exclusion of the
powers conferred by laws.

(a) Conflicting Interest Transactions.  As used in this paragraph,
"conflicting interest transaction" means any of the following:  (i)
a loan or other assistance by the corporation to a director of the
corporation or to an entity in which a director of the corporation
is a director or officer or has a financial interest; (ii) a
guaranty by the corporation of an obligation of a director of the
corporation or of an obligation of an entity in which a director of
the corporation is a director or officer or has a financial
interest; or (iii) a contract or transaction between the corporation
and a director of the corporation or between the corporation and an
entity in which a director of the corporation is a director or
officer or has a financial interest.  To the full extent permitted
by Colorado law, no conflicting interest transaction shall be void
or voidable, be enjoined, be set aside, or give rise to an award of
damages or other sanctions in a proceeding by a shareholder or by or
in the right of the corporation, solely because the conflicting
interest transaction involves a director of the corporation or an
entity in which a director of the corporation is a director or
officer or has a financial interest, or solely because the director
is present at or participates in the meeting of the corporation's
board of directors or of the committee of the board of directors
which authorizes, approves or ratifies a conflicting interest
transaction, or solely because the director's vote is counted for
such purpose if: (A) the material facts as to the director's
relationship or interest and as to the conflicting interest
transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or
the committee, and the board of directors or committee in good faith
authorizes, approves or ratifies the conflicting interest
transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors are
less than a quorum; or (B) the material facts as to the director's
relationship or interest and as to the conflicting interest
transaction are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled
to vote thereon, and the conflicting interest transaction is
specifically authorized, approved or ratified in good faith by a
vote of the shareholders; or (C) a conflicting interest transaction
is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized,
approved or ratified in good faith by a vote of the shareholders; or
(D) a conflicting interest transaction is fair as to the corporation
as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board
of directors, a committee thereof, or the shareholders.  Common or
interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a
quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee,
which authorizes, approves, or ratifies the conflicting interest
transaction.

(b) Indemnification.  The corporation shall indemnify, to the
maximum extent permitted by Colorado law, any person who is or was a
director, officer, agent, fiduciary or employee of the corporation
against any claim, liability or expense arising against or incurred
by such person made party to a proceeding because he is or was a
director, officer, agent, fiduciary or employee of the corporation
or because he is or was serving another entity or employee benefit
plan as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary
or agent at the corporation's request.  The corporation shall
further have the authority to the maximum extent permitted by
Colorado law to purchase and maintain insurance providing such
indemnification.

(c) Limitation on Director's Liability.  No director of this
corporation shall have any personal liability for monetary damages
to the corporation or its shareholders for breach of his fiduciary
duty as a director, except that this provision shall not eliminate
or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or
its shareholders for monetary damages for any breach, act, omission
or transaction as to which the Colorado Business Corporation Act (as
in effect from time to time) prohibits expressly the elimination or
limitation of liability.  Nothing contained herein will be construed
to deprive any director of his right to all defenses ordinarily
available to a director nor will anything herein be construed to
deprive any director of any right he may have for contribution from
any other director or other person.

SEVENTH:  Address of Principal Office:  The address of the principal
office of the corporation is 8100 SouthPark Way, B-2, Littleton,
