     portion of the fee to and including the date of termination.

3.   The term of this Agreement shall coincide with the term of the Agreement of
     Sublease, dated as of June 1, 2001, between us ("Sublease"), and if for any
     reason the Sublease shall terminate or expire then this Agreement will
     terminate. In addition to the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated
     as follows:

     (a)  Either party may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material
          breach of this Agreement by the other party, but only if such breach
          has not been cured by the defaulting party within twenty (20) days
          after its receipt of written notice from the non-defaulting party of
          such material breach, together with a written description of the full
          particulars thereof; or

     (b)  Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written
          notice of termination to the other party; in the event the other party
          shall: (i) become insolvent; (ii) make an assignment for the benefit
          of creditors; (iii) file a voluntary bankruptcy petition; (iv)
          acquiesce to any involuntary bankruptcy petition; or (v) be
          adjudicated bankrupt.

4.   This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each
     party and its successors and assigns. Neither party may assign any rights
     or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
     party.

5.   This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect
     to its subject matter, and supersedes all other agreements, discussions or
     understandings concerning its subject matter. It may only be modified by a
     written instrument signed by both parties.

6.   Any notice, request, or other communication to either party by the other
     concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be in writing
