        4.1.1. keep
secret all confidential information relating to the Company and not disclose such information to anyone outside of the Company either during or after his service
with the Company, except with the Company's prior written consent; and 



        4.1.2. deliver
promptly to the Company on termination of his services hereunder, or at any time the Company may so request, all memoranda, notes, records, lists, reports and
other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the business of the Company, which he may then possess or have under his control. 


        5.    Miscellaneous    


        5.1.  If
any provision contained in this Agreement is hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, such event will not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which
will be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions. 


        5.2.  If
any covenant contained in Article 4, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration or scope of such provision or the area covered
thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination will have the power to reduce the duration, scope and/or area of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision will then
be enforceable. 


        5.3.  This
Agreement has been negotiated and executed in the State of New York, and will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in New York.

notices, requests, consents and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder will be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
delivered personally or sent by prepaid telegram, or mailed first class, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail (if possible), addressed to either party at the address set forth in the
preamble to this Agreement (or to such other address as either party shall designate by notice in writing to the other in accordance herewith). 


        5.5.  The
article headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 



        5.6.  This
Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and will supersede all prior
agreements, arrangements and understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof between the Consultant and the Company. 



        5.6.1. This
Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, cancelled, renewed or extended and the terms or covenants hereof may be waived only by a written instrument
executed by each of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. The failure of either party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof
will in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either party of the breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in
any one or more instances, will be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in this
Agreement.
