        WHEREAS, the Consultant, by and through its officers, employees, agents,

Paragraph 2 hereof for the Term (as defined in Paragraph 6 below).

        2.    Services of the Consultant.    The Consultant hereby agrees that
during the term of this Agreement, it shall render to the Companies by and
through its officers, employees, agents, representatives and affiliates as the
Consultant, in its sole discretion, shall designate from time to time, advisory

in the next sentence including, without limitation, advisory and consulting
services in relation to the selection, supervision and retention of independent
auditors, the selection, retention and supervision of outside legal counsel, and
the selection, retention and supervision of investment bankers or other

to receive additional compensation for such services.

        3.    Fees.    In consideration of the Services to be provided by the
Consultant to the Company hereunder, the Companies and their successors agree to
pay to the Consultant, semi-annually in advance (on March 15 and September 15 of
each year), an aggregate per annum fee equal to $250,000 (the "Fee"), effective
as of September 15, 2002. The Fee shall be paid in cash by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the
Consultant.

        4.    Reimbursements.    In addition to the Fee, the Companies shall, at
the direction of the Consultant, pay directly or reimburse the Consultant for
its reasonable Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred in connection with the services
provided for in Paragraph 2 hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term
"Out-of-Pocket Expenses" shall mean the amounts paid by the Consultant in
connection with the services provided for in Paragraph 2, including reasonable
(i)fees and disbursements of any independent professionals and organizations,
including independent auditors and outside legal counsel, investment bankers or
other financial advisors or consultants, (ii)costs of any outside services or

telephone calls, word processing expenses or any similar expense not associated
with its ordinary operations. All reimbursements for Out-of-Pocket Expenses
shall be made promptly upon or as soon as practicable after presentation by the
Consultant to the Companies and any of the Companies of the statement in
connection therewith.

        5.    Indemnification.    The Companies will indemnify and hold harmless
the Consultant and its officers, employees, agents, representatives and
affiliates (each being an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which such
Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable federal or state law,
or any claim made by any third party, or otherwise, to the extent they relate to
or arise out of the advisory and consulting services contemplated by this
Agreement or the engagement of the Consultant pursuant to, and the performance
by the Consultant of the services contemplated by this Agreement. The Companies
will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable costs and expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) as they are incurred in
connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending
or threatened claim for which the Indemnified Party would be entitled to
indemnification under the terms of the previous sentence, or any action or
proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party
hereto. None of the Companies will be liable under the foregoing indemnification
provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense
is determined by a court in a final judgment from which no further appeal may be
taken, to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Consultant.

        6.    Term.    This Agreement shall be effective as of September 15,
2002 and shall continue until March 15, 2007 (the "Term"). The provisions of
Paragraph 5 and otherwise as the context so requires shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

        7.    Permitted Activities.    Subject to applicable provisions of
Delaware law that impose fiduciary duties upon the Consultant or its partners or
affiliates, nothing herein shall in any way preclude the Consultant or its
respective officers, employees or affiliates from engaging in any business
activities or from performing services for their own account or for the account
of others, including for entities that may be in competition with the business
conducted by the Companies.

        (a)  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or
consent to any departure by any party hereto from any such provision, shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the

effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.

hand delivery, be deemed duly given when mailed, if the same shall be sent by
