mercantile  company  called  ELECDEY  CARCELEN,  S.A.,  constituted  as a public
limited company, will operate.

conditions:

A)   If the company  changes its  registered  address  within the same municipal
     area, a resolution of the Shareholders' General Meeting will not be needed,
     and  therefore  it may be  decided  or  agreed  by the  company's  Board of
     Directors,  in accordance  with the  provisions set out in Articles 149 and

     all the necessary  powers to carry out the  procedures for giving notice of
     any proposed move of the registered office to another municipal area.

Article 5

The company is constituted for an indefinite period.

A majority vote of  shareholders in a General Meeting will be sufficient to wind
up the company,  as long as all the statutory and legal  requirements  have been
complied with.

granted.

                                                  TITLE II

                                               SHARE CAPITAL
Article 7

The share  capital is fixed at 660.000  (Six Hundred and Sixty  Thousand)  Euros
divided into 6.600 (Six Thousand 6 Hundred) ordinary shares, of a single series,
with a nominal value of 100 (One Hundred) each, numbered consecutively from 1 to
6.600, both inclusive.

The share capital is fully subscribed, and paid up.


Article 8

Shares will be  represented  by share  certificates.  The  creation and issue of
multiple share certificates is allowed.

The certificates  will be issued from counterfoil  books and each one will have,
as a minimum,  those details set out in Article 53 of the Companies Act and will
be  signed  by a legal  representative  or  designated  member  of the  Board of
Directors of the company whose signature may be reproduced by mechanical  means,
in  which  case an  authorised  Notary  will  certify  and so  minute  that  the
signatures reproduced mechanically are the same as those signed before him. This
Minute shall be inscribed in the Mercantile Register before the certificates are
circulated.

Article 9

The company shall keep at its registered  office the  Shareholders'  Register in
which will be recorded the  successive  transfers  of shares,  stating the name,
surname,  title or company,  if any,  nationality  and address of the successive
holders,  as well as the levy of transfer charges and other taxes upon them. Any
shareholder that so requests shall be able to examine the Shareholders' Register
at the  registered  office.  The company  will only be able to amend the entries
that it considers  false or  inaccurate  when the  interested  parties have been
notified  of the  company's  intention  to  proceed  in this  way and  have  not
indicated  in  writing  their   disagreement   during  the  30  days   following
notification.

The company shall only recognise as shareholders  those who are recorded in this
Register.

Article 10

The shares are  transferable by any means  recognised in law. In every case, the
provisions of the law as to whether or not the definitive certificates have been
issued and in  accordance  with the  character  of the shares must be taken into
account.

Without  prejudice  to that set out in the previous  paragraph,  the transfer of
shares to third  parties that are not  companies  belonging to the same group as
the shareholder transferring the shares will be subject to the following rules.

The  shareholder who proposes to dispose of all or some of his shares to another
shareholder  or a third  party,  must  advise  the  President  of the  Board  of
Directors  who,  subsequently,  will  advise  the other  members  of the  Board,
attaching a document in which is stated the purchase offer received from a third
party, stating the number of shares,  purchase price and name of purchaser,  and
this information,  within a period of ten calendar days, must be communicated to
each and every one of the other  shareholders  at the address  that is shown for
each  of  them  in the  Shareholders'  Register.  Within  thirty  calendar  days
following the date of the said  communication,  the shareholders may opt for the
acquisition  of the  shares  and if more than one of them  wishes to make use of
this  right,  the said  shares  will be  apportioned  between  them  pro-rata in
accordance with the shares that they hold.

When the above period has ended, the company may opt, within a further period of
twenty  calendar  days  starting  from the end of the previous  period,  between
allowing the projected  disposal or acquisition of the shares for itself, in the
normal legal manner.  If this last period ends without,  either on behalf of the
shareholders  or of the company,  having made use of the  preferential  right of
purchase,  the  shareholder  will be free to dispose of his shares to the person
and in the  conditions  that he advised  to the  management,  provided  that the
disposal  takes  place in the two months  following  the end of the last  period
indicated,  and, if this should not be the case,  the offer process will have to
be repeated.

In any event, if two months have passed since the request for  authorisation  to
transfer was presented and the company has not responded, the said authorisation
by default will be deemed to have been granted.

In exercising  this right of preferential  purchase,  the purchase price will be
that offered by the interested third party. The shareholder that has disposed of
the shares  must vouch for the price  obtained  per share by  delivering  to the
Chairman  of the  Board  a copy  of the  public  document  that  formalises  the
transfer. The transfers carried out other than in accordance with the provisions
of this Article will not be recognised by the company.

Where a shareholder  transferor is being wound up due to a merger situation,  or
when the transfer  arises as a consequence  of the company  being  dissolved for
legal  reasons,  the same  will also be  excluded  from the  provisions  of this
agreement

The transfer of shares are  excluded  from the  provisions  of this Article when
they are made in  favour  of any  company  who has  control  of the  shareholder
holding the share  certificates  being  transferred  or which company is in turn
controlled by the said shareholder or whoever has the controlling interest.

For the purposes of the previous paragraph, it is understood that control exists
when  the  controlling  shareholder  possesses  more  than  50 per  cent  of the
controlled  company or has the  capacity to nominate the majority of the members
which constitute the Board of Directors.

                                    TITLE III

                        MANAGEMENT BODIES OF THE COMPANY

interest  in the  opinion of the Board of  Directors  of the company may also be
included in the Agenda.

Article 15

All meetings that do not fall within the definition in the above Article will be
deemed to be Extraordinary General Meetings.

Article 16

In each case, the  Extraordinary  General Meeting shall be convened by the Board
of Directors of the company, whenever it is deemed to be in the interests of the
company,  or when it is requested by a number of shareholders  representing,  at
least, five per cent of the share capital.

Article 17

The General Meeting is deemed to be convened, and will be validly constituted to
deal with any matter,  whenever  there is present all the paid-up  share capital
and those present  accept  unanimously  that the meeting be held.  This class of
meeting  will be  called an  Extraordinary  General  and  Universal  Meeting  of
shareholders.

Article 18

All  General  Meetings,  except  those  described  in Article 17 above,  must be
convened by a public  announcement  in the  official  Gazette of the  Mercantile
Register,  and in one of the province's newspapers with a high circulation rate,
as well as to those  members  who  possess  at  least  10 per cent of the  share
capital  by means of  written  communication  with  acknowledgement  of  receipt
(registered  letter, fax with  acknowledgement of receipt etc) that will be sent
at least fifteen days before the date fixed for the said meeting.

The  announcement  and the written notice shall state the date of the meeting at
the first  call and all the  matters to be dealt  with;  it may also  state,  if
appropriate,  the date on which the  meeting  will be  reconvened  at the second
calling.

If the meeting is to deal with matters relating to the merger or sub-division of
the company,  the special  periods of notice  indicated in law for these matters
must be taken into account.

Article 19

The  General  Meeting,  whether  Ordinary  or  Extraordinary,  will  be  validly
constituted  at the first calling when the  shareholders  present or represented
possess at least seventy five per cent of the subscribed  share capital with the
right to vote.

At the second  calling the meeting  will be validly  constituted  when there are
present at the said  meeting  at least  fifty per cent of the  subscribed  share
capital with the right to vote.

Article 20

In order for the Ordinary or  Extraordinary  General  Meeting to validly resolve
the  issue  of   debentures,   the   increase  or   decrease  of  capital,   the

Register five days prior to the proposed meeting date, and the holders of shares
that have demonstrated by means of a public document their purchase from someone
who appears in the Register as a shareholder, are able to attend the meeting. It
is  understood in the latter  instance  that the public  document will include a
request to the Board of Directors  for the said  shareholding  to be recorded in
the Register.

All  shareholders  with the right to attend the convened General Meetings may be
represented  by  another  person  who  may  not  be  a  shareholder,   the  said
representation  being in  accordance  with the  provisions of Article 106 of the
Public Companies Act.

Attendance  in  person  at the  meeting  by the  shareholder  revokes  any other
representation previously granted.

Article 22

The  Chairman and  Secretary  of the Board of Directors  will act as such at the
meetings.

The Chairman may authorise the attendance at the meetings of any person he deems
appropriate.  Only a decision or  agreement  of the majority of the meeting will
invalidate the said decision.

The  shareholders  may request in  writing,  prior to the  Meeting,  or verbally
during  it, any  report or  information  they deem  appropriate  concerning  the
matters  comprising  the agenda.  The directors  shall be obliged to provide the
same,  except in those  cases  where,  in the  judgement  of the  Chairman,  the
publicity of the requested  data would  prejudice the company's  interests,  but
without  prejudice to the  exception  set out in Article  112.2 of the Companies
Act.

The  Minutes  of the  Meeting  may be  approved  by the  Meeting  itself  at its
conclusion,  failing which,  within a period of fifteen days by the Chairman and
two referees,  one  representing  the majority and the other the  minority.  The
Minutes,  approved by whichever of the aforementioned  means will have executive
force from the date of their approval.

The  Chairman or the  Secretary  may  require  the  presence of a Notary for the
purpose of drawing up the Minutes of the  Meeting,  and will be obliged to carry
out this requirement whenever, five days prior to that fixed for the Meeting, it
is requested by  shareholders  that represent at least one per cent of the share
capital.  Once  notarised,  the Minutes will be considered as the Minutes of the
Meeting.

In the General Meetings the resolutions will be adopted by a majority, except in
those matters for which the legal or statutory  provisions  require a reinforced
majority.

A reinforced majority of 81% of the share capital is required for:

     other means that will give the right to subscribe or purchase,  directly or
     indirectly, company shares
o    The  purchase,  transfer or  constitution  of  encumbrance  on assets of an
     onerous  kind,  not related to the company's  activities,  when their value

o    The sale or purchase of own shares

Article 23

The Board of Directors is responsible for  representing the company in legal and
other matters.

Article 24

The Board of Directors, as the body that represents the company, will comprise a
minimum of five directors and a maximum of 12.

Article 25

A member  of the  Board of  Directors  must be  appointed  by the  Shareholders'
General  Meeting for a period of five years,  and may be re-elected  one or more
times  for  periods  of the same  maximum  duration,  without  prejudice  to the
provisions  relating to the removal of a director  set out in Article 131 of the
Companies Act.

A member of the Board of Directors need not be a shareholder of the company.

The  office of  director  will not be  remunerated,  nevertheless  there will be
established,  to cover  expenses,  the right to receive an  allowance  paid on a
daily basis to each director  which amount will be fixed annually by the General
Meeting.

Those persons that infringe the rules of incompatibility that are set out in law
12/1995 of 11th May and other similar and  complementary  provisions  may not be
members  of the Board of  Directors  of the  company.  In such  event,  the said
directors  shall be removed  immediately,  at the  request  of any  shareholder,
without  prejudice  to the  liabilities  which they may incur for their  illegal
conduct, in accordance with Article 133 of the Companies Act.

If during  the  period  for which  they are  appointed  members  of the Board of
Directors a vacancy should arise,  the Board, in accordance with that set out in
Article 138 of the  Companies  Act, may delegate the person or persons to occupy
the office of director until the next meeting of the General Meeting.

Article 26

The Board of Directors will meet whenever  requested by one of its members or by
its Chairman.  Each meeting shall be convened through written communication with
acknowledgement  of receipt  (registered  letter,  fax with  acknowledgement  of
receipt) sent to each director,  at least,  seven days before the date fixed for
the meeting.  The said notice shall  include the Agenda for the said meeting and
any documentation relating thereto.

The  Board of  Directors  shall be deemed  validly  constituted  when  there are
present or  represented  at the meeting,  one half plus one of its members.  The
resolutions will be adopted by an absolute  majority of the directors present at
the meeting that has been  convened by the  Chairman or whoever  carries out his
function.  Voting in writing and without  meeting  will only be allowed  when no
director opposes this procedure.  The discussions and subsequent  resolutions of
the Board will be entered into a Minute Book that will be signed by the Chairman
and the Secretary.

The Board of Directors will appoint the Chairman and  Secretary.  In addition it
may  appoint,   should  it  be  considered  necessary,  a  Vice-Chairman  and  a
Vice-Secretary,  always  providing  that  the  General  Meeting  at the  time of
appointing the director has not already made these  appointments.  The Secretary
and if appropriate the Vice-Secretary,  may or may not be directors,  and in the
case they will have a voice but no vote.  The  secretary  will be  empowered  to
certify and register all classes of company resolutions.

The Board could validly adopt written  agreements  without a meeting provided no
director is against it

not reserved exclusively for the General Meeting.

                                  Company year

Article 28

The company year will coincide with the calendar  year, and will close each year
on 31st December.

As an  exception,  the first  company year will close on the date  indicated and
will begin on the date on which the company  starts to trade,  as  determined in
accordance with that stated by the law or these Articles of Association.

Article 29

The Board of Directors,  within a maximum  period of three months  starting from
the closing date of the  company's  year,  is obliged to draw up a report on its
management,  the  Annual  Accounts  and  the  proposal  for  the  statement  and
distributions of profits, if any, to the shareholders.

The Annual Accounts will comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account and
the notes thereto. These documents, together with the management report, will be
drawn up with the  precision  and  clarity  that the law  requires,  and must be
signed by all the  directors of the company.  Should the signature of any of the
directors be omitted,  it will be so stated on each of the documents  from which
it is omitted, with a specific statement as to the reason for its omission.

The General  Meeting  will adopt the Annual  Accounts.  Following  notice of the
General  Meeting,  any  shareholder  will be able to  obtain  from the  company,
immediately  and at no charge,  the  documents  that must be  submitted  for the
approval of the  meeting,  and the report of the  auditors,  if any.  The notice
convening the meeting must specifically state this right.

Article 30

                                     Title V

                           Winding up and liquidation
Article 31

The  company  will be wound up for  reasons  set out by law. In the event of the

Board of Directors who,  acting as  liquidators,  will carry out the liquidation
and  division  in  accordance  with that  which has been  agreed by the  General
Meeting concerning this matter, and the current legal and statutory provisions.

The number of liquidators  must always be uneven,  therefore,  in the event that
the number of members of the Board of  Directors  be even,  the General  Meeting
that  determines  the winding up and  liquidation  will appoint,  by a majority,
another person as liquidator, so that the total number of them becomes uneven.

Proposals for the merger or  sub-division of the company are excluded and deemed
exempt from the liquidation process.

Article 32

In accordance  with the  provisions of the law, once all the creditors have been
paid and the amount of their claims against the company  extinguished and having
appropriately  covered those not due, the company's remaining net assets will be

shareholdings.  If all the shares have not been paid up in the same  proportion,
it will be distributed as set out in Article 277 of the Companies Act.

                                    TITLE VII

                             APPLICATION OF THE LAW
