DUTIES





2.1           Kovarsky

including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the administration
and management of the business and affairs of the Company.





2.2           Kovarsky
shall devote his full time and attention to the business and affairs of the
Company during each year of this Agreement, use his best efforts to promote the
interests of the Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge the
