responsible for any portion of the compensation owned to Consultant under

available, in addition to any other right or remedy available, the right to
obtain an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining such
breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any such provision of
this Agreement restraining such a breach (or threatened breach) and to specific

performance.

agreement between Consultant and the Company with respect to the Services to be
performed hereunder and it supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
with respect thereto, whether oral or written. No modification to any provision
of this Agreement shall be binding

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

unless in writing and signed by both Consultant and the Company. No waiver of
any rights under this agreement, will be effective unless in writing signed by
the party to be charged. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective
heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns

lawsuit filed there against Consultant by the Company arising from or related to
this Agreement, to the exclusion of all other courts, and Consultant accepts
service of process by registered or certified mail to the address set forth
below (or to such other address provided to the Company) as if Consultant were
personally served within the Commonwealth of Virginia.

12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or application thereof to
anyone or under any circumstances is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any
other provision or application of this Agreement which can be given effect
without the invalid or unenforceable provision or application and shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision or application in any other
jurisdiction.
