          ---------------------------
documents expressly referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement among

be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except by an agreement in writing
executed by the party against whom such modification, amendment, alteration or
supplement is sought to be enforced.

     10.  Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the
          -------
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted

prior written consent of the other parties.

     11.  Governing Law.  This Agreement, and all matters relating hereto, shall

be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of

     12.  Injunctive Relief.  The parties agree that in the event of a breach of
          -----------------
any provision of this Agreement, the aggrieved party may be without an adequate
remedy at law.  The parties therefore agree that in the event of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement, the aggrieved party may elect to institute and
prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce specific
performance or to enjoin the continuing breach of such provision, as well as to
obtain damages for breach of this Agreement and such aggrieved party may take
any such actions without the necessity of posting a bond.  By seeking or
obtaining such relief, the aggrieved party will not be precluded from seeking or
obtaining any other relief to which it may be entitled.

     13.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
          ------------
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same document.

     14.  Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement which is
          ------------
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.  If any provision of
this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable such provision shall be
interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

     15.  Further Assurances.  Each party hereto shall execute and deliver such
          ------------------
additional documents as may be necessary or desirable to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     16.  Third Party Beneficiaries.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
          -------------------------
implied, shall be construed to give any person other than the parties hereto any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement
or any provision contained herein.
