Article 6.  PARTNER'S RIGHTS

Each  holding  will confer on its holder the  capacity of partner and the rights
laid down by law.


Article 7.  TRANSFER OF HOLDINGS

Transfer  between  living  persons  will be freely  effected  between  partners,
spouses, ascendants and descendants.

With regard to other transfers between living persons,  the following provisions
will apply:

a)   The  partner  wishing  to  transfer  or assign  all or part of its  Company
     holdings in any way should  notify the Company  administration  in writing,
     indicating  the number and price,  which will be notified  to the  partners
     within a period of 15 days.

     Within 30 days following such notification,  the other partners may acquire
     the Company  holdings at the price agreed or,  failing  that,  at the price
     determined by compliance  with the provisions laid down in point e) of this
     Article. If several partners are interested in acquiring the holdings, they
     will be apportioned among them in proportion to their existing holdings. If
     the number of Company  shares is not exactly  divisible,  the excess shares
     will be apportioned among the partners by draw.

b)   If  that  period  elapses  and  none  of the  partners  has  exercised  the
     preferential  purchase  right,  the Company  will have a further 30 days to
     acquire the holdings for repayment, with a reduction in Company capital.

c)   Following that period, the Company holdings may be freely disposed of. This
     freedom to sell will be evidenced by a certificate  issued by the governing
     body and will be delivered to the selling  partner within five working days
     following termination of the latter period.

d)   The  aforesaid  freedom of sale will be forfeit six months after  notifying
     the vendor.

     Once such freedom is forfeit,  if the partner has not effected the sale and
     insists on doing so at any other  time,  it will be required to comply with
     all the provisions laid down in this Article once again.

e)   The price of transfer of the  holdings to other  partners or to the Company
     will be the value of the  holding  fixed by  experts  for that  purpose  by
     drawing up an updated extra-accounting  inventory. The Company will appoint
     one expert and the vendor  another one and, if they fail to agree,  a third
     will be  appointed  by the Judge or  Chairman  of the  Official  Chamber of
     Commerce of the province in which the Company is domiciled.

     This valuation will be binding on the Company and on the partners,  without
     appeal.

     All  partners  so  requesting  will  receive  notification  of the  holding
     valuation agreements by registered post.

f)   The  final  selling  price to third  parties  may  never be less  than that
     offered to the governing body.

g)   The  transfer  of  holdings  on  account  of death or by  donation  will be
     effected  freely when it is made to the partner's  spouse,  descendants  or
     ascendants.

     If it is made to other persons, such persons will be required to notify the
     governing  body within three months  following  the death of the partner or
     the date of the  donation,  which will be  effected in the manner laid down
     for transfers between living persons in this Article,  but solely in favour
     of partners,  observing the  provisions of Article 100 of Law No. 2/1995 on
     valuation,  failing agreement, and, if preferential purchase rights are not
     exercised, the heirs, legatees or donees will be regarded as partners.

h)   Transfers of holdings failing to comply with the provisions of this Article
     will not be applicable vis-a-vis the Company.
