      6.            Waiver. The rights and remedies of
the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the
failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege
under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate
as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise
of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further
exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right,
power or privilege.

This

agreement of the parties hereto with
respect to their subject matter and supersede all other prior agreements
and understandings, written or oral, relating to such subject matter between the

      10.          Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this

ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the scope of any
provision contained in this Agreement is too broad to permit enforcement to its
full extent, but
may be made enforceable by limitations thereon, such provision shall
be enforced
to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the Consultant hereby agrees that
such scope maybe judicially modified accordingly.

      


      11.          Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may
be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.

      


      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of
the Company and NGI has caused this Agreement to be executed as of the day and
year first above written.
