include:
(i) The acquisition (other than by or from the Company) at any time following
the date hereof, by any person, entity or group", within the meaning of Section

majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other than an
election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in
connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the
election of the directors of the Company, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11

this Agreement, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent
Board; or

merger or consolidation with respect to which persons who were the shareholders
of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation

change of Control, the Company or its successor in interest shall pay to the
executive in a lump sum, in cash within 30 days after the date of employment

of the Executive's then Base Salary for the applicable Anniversary Year plus the
amount of the highest annual bonus or other incentive compensation payment
theretofore made by the Company to the Executive, multiplied times (y) three
(the "Change of Control Payment")
4. Restrictive Covenants.
4.1 Nondisclosure. During his employment and for twelve (12) months thereafter,
Executive shall not divulge, communicate, use to the detriment of the Company or
for the benefit of any other person or persons, or misuse in any way, any

purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would

Agreement, the term "Company" shall mean and include the Company as hereinbefore

to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

5.4. Severability. The invalidity of any one or more of the words, phrases1

enforceability of the remaining portions of this Agreement or any part thereof,
all of which are inserted conditionally on their being valid in law, and in the

contained in this Agreement shall be declared invalid, this Agreement shall be
construed as if such invalid word or words, phrase or phrases, sentence or
sentences, clause or clauses, or section or sections had not been inserted. If
such invalidity is caused by length of time or size of area, or both, the
otherwise invalid provision will be considered to be reduced to a period or area
which would cure such invalidity.
5.5. Waivers. The waiver by either party hereto of a breach or violation of any
term or provision of this Agreement shall not operate nor be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach or violation.

of this Agreement.
5.7 No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement
is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any person (other

5.8 Full Settlement. The Company's obligation to make the payments provided for
in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not
be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim,
right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others. In
no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any
other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under
any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay, to the full
extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may
reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof)
by the Company or others of the validity or enforceability of or liability
under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof
(including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any
payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest at the
applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.
5.9.Certain Reduction of Payments by the Company.

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

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it
shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for
the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a
"Payment"), would be nondeductible by the Company for Federal income tax
purposes because of Section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present value
of amounts payable or distributable to or for the benefit of the Executive
pursuant to this Agreement (such payments or distributions pursuant to this
Agreement are hereinafter referred to as "Agreement  Payments") shall be reduced
to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" shall be an amount expressed in
present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Agreement Payments
without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of
Section 280G of the Code. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Reduced Amount is zero and it is determined further that any Payment which is
not an Agreement Payment would nevertheless be nondeductible by the Company for
Federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Code, then the
aggregate present value of Payments which are not Agreement Payments shall also
be reduced (but not below zero) to an amount expressed in present value which
maximizes the aggregate present value of Payments without causing any Payment to
be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code. For
purposes of this Section 5.9, present value shall be determined in accordance
with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. Any amount which is not paid in the taxable
year in which it was originally scheduled to be paid as a result of the
postponement thereof pursuant hereto shall be payable in the next succeeding
taxable year in which such payment will not result in the disallowance of a
deduction pursuant to either Section 162(m) or 280G of the Code; provided,
however, that all postponed payments shall be placed in a Rabbi trust or similar
vehicle for the benefit of the Executive in such a way that the amounts so
transferred are not taxable to such person or deductible by the Company until
payment from such vehicle to the Executive is made. In the event a payment has
been made to the Executive, but then disallowed as a deduction by the Internal
Revenue Service and return of the payment is required into the trust, said
payment to the Executive shall be treated as a loan and said payment to the
trust shall be treated as repayment of said loan. The Company shall not pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise encumber any amounts held in the trust or other similar
vehicle for the benefit of the Executive hereunder.
(b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 16 shall be made
by a firm of independent public accountants selected by the Executive and
approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall provide (ii) detailed supporting
calculations both to the Company and the Executive within twenty (20) business
days of the termination of Executive's employment or such earlier time as is
requested by the Company, and (iii) an opinion to the Executive that he has
substantial authority not to report any excise tax on his Federal income tax
return with respect to any Payments. Any such determination by the Accounting
Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. The Executive shall
determine which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced
consistent with the requirements of this Section 5.9, provided that, if the
Executive does not make such determination within ten business days of the
receipt of the calculations made by the Accounting Firm, the Company shall elect
which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced consistent
with the requirements of this Section 5.9 and shall notify the Executive
promptly of such election. Within five business days thereafter, the Company
shall pay to or distribute to or for the benefit of the Executive such amounts
as are then due to the Executive under this Agreement. All fees and expenses of
the Accounting Firm incurred in connection with the determinations contemplated
by this Section 5.9 shall be borne by the Company.
(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the
Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder,
it is possible that Payments will have been made by the Company which should not
have been made ("Overpayment") or that additional Payments which will not have
been made by the Company could have been made ("Underpayment"), in each case,
consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event
that the Accounting Firm, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the
Internal Revenue Service against the Executive which the Accounting Firm
believes has a high probability of success, determines that an Overpayment has
been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by the Company to or for the
benefit of the Executive shall be treated for all purposes as a loan ab initio
to the Executive which the Executive shall repay to the Company together with
interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of
the Code; provided, however, that no such loan shall be deemed to have been made
and no amount shall be payable by the Employee to the Company if and to the
extent such deemed loan and payment would not either reduce the amount on which
the Executive is subject to tax under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or
generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based
upon controlling precedent or other substantial authority, determines that an
Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the
Company to or for the benefit of the Executive together with interest at the
applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

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

5.10. Conflicts With Certain Existing Arrangements. The Company agrees that (a)
it shall not hereafter acquire a "Conflicting Organization" or otherwise expand
its present business activities such that Executive could reasonably be expected
to be deemed in breach or violation of such non-competition covenants, and (b)
it shall indemnify and hold harmless the Executive from any and all damages that
Executive may hereafter suffer or incur by reason of any such Company
acquisition or expansion of business after the date hereof.

convenience of reference,and shall not in any way limit or affect the meaning or

entirety, all of the Prior Agreements, constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings of the parties, oral and written, with
respect to the subject matter hereof.
5.14 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure solely to the benefit of and
shall be binding upon the Company and the controlling persons, directors and
officers of the Company, and its respective successors, legal representatives,
heirs and assigns, and no other person shall have or be construed to have any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of or by virtue of
this Agreement or any provisions herein contained.
5.15 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Trial by Jury. This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflict of laws principles thereof.
The Company hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it
arising out of, or relating in any way to this Agreement shall be brought and
enforced in the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada, Clark County, and
irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive.
The Company hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that
such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Any such process or summons to be
served upon the Company may be served by transmitting a copy thereof by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
addressed to it at the address set forth in Section 5.2 hereof. Such mailing
shall be deemed personal service and shall be legal and binding upon the Company
in any action, proceeding or claim. The Company agrees that the prevailing
party(ies) in any such action shall be entitled to recover from the other
party(ies) all of its reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses relating to such
action or proceeding and/or incurred in connection with the preparation
therefor. The Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, on behalf of its stockholders and affiliates) and each of the Underwriters
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each

shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one
or more counterparts has been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered
to each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of a signed counterpart of this
Agreement by facsimile or email/pdf transmission shall constitute valid and
sufficient delivery thereof.
5,17 Waiver, etc. The failure of any of the parties hereto to at any time
enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed
to be a waiver of any such provision, nor to in any way effect the validity of
this Agreement or any provision hereof or the right of any of the parties hereto
to thereafter enforce each and every provision of this Agreement. No waiver of
any breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment of any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument executed
by the party or parties against whom or which enforcement of such waiver is
sought; and no waiver of any such breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment
shall be construed or deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach,
