                                     FRAUD

THE PARTIES WILL COOPERATE AND, AS NECESSARY, SUPPLEMENT THIS AGREEMENT IN ORDER
TO MINIMIZE FRAUDULENT OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THEIR SYSTEMS. IF ANY PARTY
REASONABLY DECIDES THAT, IN ITS SOLE JUDGMENT, DESPITE DUE DILIGENCE AND
COOPERATION PURSUANT TO THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, FRAUDULENT OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED
USE HAS REACHED AN UNACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF FINANCIAL LOSS AND IS NOT READILY
REMEDIABLE, SUCH PARTY MAY SUSPEND THE USE OF APPLICABLE NPA/NXX COMBINATIONS,
IN WHOLE OR IN PART, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

EACH PARTY SHALL TAKE REASONABLE ACTIONS TO CONTROL FRAUDULENT ROAMER USAGE,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION USING EITHER (i) A POSITIVE VALIDATION/VERIFICATION
("PV") SYSTEM PROVIDED BY A MUTUALLY AGREED UPON VALIDATION/VERIFICATION SERVICE
UNDER WHICH THE ESN AND/OR NPA/NXX USED IN A CALL IN THE SERVING CARRIER'S
SYSTEM IS COMPARED AGAINST A LIST OF AUTHORIZED ROAMERS OR (ii) SS-7 CONNECTIONS
THROUGH A NETWORK OF CARRIERS. THE PARTIES SHALL WORK TOGETHER IN GOOD FAITH TO
DESIGNATE AND IMPLEMENT A SYSTEM AS SPECIFIED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE AND
ENHANCEMENTS THERETO OR ALTERNATIVE SYSTEMS AS THEY SHALL AGREE IN THE FUTURE.
THE HOME CARRIER SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR CALLS COMPLETED
BY A SERVING CARRIER WITHOUT OBTAINING POSITIVE VALIDATION/VERIFICATION AS
REQUIRED HEREIN.

IN ADDITION TO OTHER PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, A HOME CARRIER MAY
NOTIFY A SERVING CARRIER BY FACSIMILE, WITH WRITTEN CONFIRMATION, THAT CERTAIN
NPA/NXX COMBINATIONS ARE NOT TO RECEIVE SERVICE. ANY CALLS COMPLETED USING SUCH
NPA/NXX COMBINATIONS MADE ONE FULL BUSINESS DAY OR MORE AFTER SUCH NOTICE HAS
BEEN GIVEN SHALL BE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SERVING CARRIER, AND THE HOME
CARRIER SHALL NOT BE CHARGED ANY AMOUNT FOR SUCH CALLS.

EACH SERVING CARRIER SHALL USE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO PROVIDE EACH
HOME CARRIER WITH REAL-TIME VISIBILITY OF CALL DETAIL RECORDS DELIVERED THROUGH
A NETWORK COMPATIBLE WITH AT&T WIRELESS'S NETWORK. SUCH INFORMATION SHALL BE
DELIVERED WITHIN ONE HOUR OF THE APPLICABLE CALL. IN THE EVENT THAT THE SERVING
CARRIER PROVIDES SUCH A REAL-TIME VISIBILITY SYSTEM, THE SERVING CARRIER SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY EVENT FOR A TEMPORARY FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM UNLESS THE
SERVING CARRIER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF SUCH FAILURE BY THE HOME CARRIER AND THE
SERVING CARRIER DOES NOT TAKE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE STEPS TO REMEDY


                                      -8-
<PAGE>


THE FAILURE. IF THE SERVING CARRIER HAS BEEN SO NOTIFIED AND HAS FAILED TO TAKE
SUCH COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE STEPS, THE SERVING CARRIER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ALL
UNAUTHORIZED USAGE ATTRIBUTED TO HOME CARRIER'S SUBSCRIBERS DURING THE PERIOD
FROM THE TIME SERVING CARRIER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM TO THE TIME THAT THE
PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED TO THE REASONABLE SATISFACTION OF THE HOME CARRIER.

                                INTEROPERABILITY

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT RELATED
TO THE INTEROPERABILITY OF THE DOBSON SYSTEM AND THE ACC TDMA SYSTEM SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING GENERAL PRINCIPLES:

THE PARTIES AGREE, CONFIRM AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ONE OF THEIR PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT IS TO PROMOTE THE ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION
THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES OF A MOBILE WIRELESS SERVICE THAT IS TDMA-BASED AND
THAT WILL APPEAR TO THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSCRIBERS AS A SINGLE MOBILE WIRELESS
NETWORK WITH A COMMON USER INTERFACE PERTAINING TO THE ADOPTED FEATURES, AND
THAT THEY INTEND TO ACHIEVE SUCH PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE AS SET FORTH IN, AND
SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF, THIS AGREEMENT. ADOPTED FEATURES SHALL
BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL CUSTOMERS OF A PARTY WHEN ROAMING IN THE DOBSON SYSTEM
OR THE ACC TDMA SYSTEM, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY SHALL
USE GOOD FAITH EFFORTS, WHEN IMPLEMENTING ANY SOFTWARE OR OTHER SYSTEM CHANGE OR
UPGRADE, TO CONFIRM THE CONTINUED AVAILABILITY OF THE FEATURE INTEROPERABILITY
PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, AND IN THE EVENT OF ANY INTERFERENCE WITH ANY FEATURE
INTEROPERABILITY SHALL WORK EXPEDITIOUSLY TO RESTORE REQUIRED FUNCTIONALITY.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, IN THE EVENT THE
AUTHENTICATION FRAUD PROTECTION FEATURE (OR ANY SUBSEQUENT OR COMPARABLE FRAUD
PROTECTION FEATURE) IS DISABLED OR AFFECTED BY ANY NETWORK CHANGE SO AS TO
INTERFERE WITH ITS INTEROPERABILITY, THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH NETWORK
SHALL RESTORE INTEROPERABILITY WITHIN 48 HOURS OF NOTIFICATION FROM THE AFFECTED
PARTY.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS, DUTIES, RIGHTS AND
ENTITLEMENTS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED, TO THE EXTENT SUCH
INTERPRETATION IS REQUIRED TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE OR UNCERTAINTY CONCERNING THIS
AGREEMENT, IN A MANNER THAT IS REASONABLY CONSISTENT WITH, AND WHICH REASONABLY
SUPPORTS, THE PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE OF THIS AGREEMENT AS SET OUT IN SECTION
10.1.1.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THEY EACH SHALL, IN GOOD FAITH, WORK TOGETHER, COOPERATE,
AND USE THE RIGHTS THAT THEY EACH HAVE GRANTED THE OTHER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
FOR THE PURPOSES SET OUT IN SECTION 10.1.1 AND ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
THIS AGREEMENT.

THE PARTIES AGREE TO IMPLEMENT TDMA-BASED SYSTEMS AS FOLLOWS:


                                      -12-
<PAGE>


THE PARTIES EACH ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONFIRM THAT THEIR DIGITAL STANDARD FOR, IN THE
CASE OF DOBSON, THE DOBSON SYSTEM AND, IN THE CASE OF ACC, THE ACC TDMA SYSTEM,
IS CURRENTLY (AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE) TDMA.

THE PARTIES SHALL DEPLOY TDMA THROUGHOUT THE ACC TDMA SYSTEM AND THE DOBSON
SYSTEM WITHIN TWELVE (12) MONTHS AFTER THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES
SHALL USE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO PROMOTE THE USE OF TDMA-BASED
COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES AMONG THEIR RESPECTIVE CUSTOMERS WHO ROAM ON THE DOBSON
SYSTEM OR THE ACC TDMA SYSTEM, AS THE CASE MAY BE.

EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES THAT IT SHALL OPERATE AND SUPPORT ITS TDMA-BASED
SYSTEM, TO THE EXTENT INSTALLED, TO ENSURE THAT THE OTHER PARTY'S CUSTOMERS CAN
USE THE ADOPTED FEATURES WHEN ROAMING ON THE SERVING CARRIER'S TDMA-BASED SYSTEM
IN THE SAME MANNER THAT SUCH CUSTOMERS USE SUCH ADOPTED FEATURES ON THE HOME
CARRIER'S TDMA-BASED SYSTEM.

CORE FEATURES. EACH PARTY SHALL, AT ITS OWN EXPENSE, IMPLEMENT THE CORE FEATURES
IN THE DOBSON SYSTEM, IN THE CASE OF DOBSON, AND IN THE ACC TDMA SYSTEM, IN THE
CASE OF ACC, AS SOON AS REASONABLY PRACTICABLE AND IN ANY EVENT WITHIN ONE (1)
YEAR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE. THEREAFTER, CORE FEATURES SHALL BE IMPLEMENTED AT
THE TIME ANY TDMA-BASED SYSTEM IS PLACED INTO OPERATION.

FUTURE CORE FEATURES. THE FUTURE CORE FEATURES SHALL BE THOSE FEATURES SET FORTH
ON SCHEDULE E-2 TO EXHIBIT E ATTACHED HERETO OR THOSE FEATURES THAT ARE AGREED
UPON BY THE PARTIES FROM TIME TO TIME AFTER THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
EACH PARTY SHALL, AT ITS OWN EXPENSE, IMPLEMENT SUCH FUTURE CORE FEATURES WITHIN
ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE GENERAL AVAILABILITY OF SUCH FUTURE CORE FEATURES,
PROVIDED THAT, AND SUBJECT TO SUCH PARTY'S DETERMINATION, IN ITS SOLE AND
ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, THAT SUCH IMPLEMENTATION IS BOTH FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE AND
ECONOMICALLY VIABLE, AND CONSISTENT WITH SUCH PARTY'S OBJECTIVE OF MAXIMIZING
ITS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. IN THE EVENT THAT A PARTY OPTS NOT TO ADOPT A FUTURE
CORE FEATURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 10.3.1, IT SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY
THE OTHER PARTY OF THAT DECISION. FUTURE CORE FEATURES SHALL BE IMPLEMENTED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION IN THE AREAS SPECIFIED FOR EACH RESPECTIVE PARTY IN
SECTION 10.3.1.

THE PARTIES SHALL USE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO COMPLY WITH THE NETWORK
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS WITH RESPECT TO THE ADOPTED FEATURES THAT ARE SET OUT IN
SCHEDULE E-3 TO EXHIBIT E ATTACHED HERETO.

NEITHER PARTY SHALL PROVIDE THE OTHER PARTY'S CUSTOMERS WITH SERVICE INFERIOR IN
QUALITY TO THAT PROVIDED TO ITS OWN CUSTOMERS. EACH PARTY SHALL PROVIDE SERVICE
TO CUSTOMERS OF THE OTHER PARTY OF A QUALITY LEVEL, BASED ON CRITERIA
CUSTOMARILY USED TO EVALUATE THE PERFORMANCE OF WIRELESS VOICE SYSTEMS,
COMPARABLE TO OR EXCEEDING INDUSTRY NORMS. ANY ASSESSMENT OF "QUALITY" SHALL BE
WITH REFERENCE TO THE SYSTEM'S PERFORMANCE AS A WHOLE WITHIN A SPECIFIC MSA,
RSA, OR BTA, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND SHALL BE OVER SUCH A PERIOD OF TIME AS
REASONABLY NECESSARY TO YIELD AN ACCURATE DEPICTION OF SYSTEM "QUALITY" TAKING
INTO ACCOUNT ALL OF THE VARIABLES WHICH MAY AFFECT SYSTEM PERFORMANCE.

IN ORDER TO FACILITATE PERFORMANCE BY EACH OF THE PARTIES OF THEIR OBLIGATIONS
UNDER THIS ARTICLE X, THE PARTIES AGREE TO EXCHANGE AND SHARE INFORMATION WITH
EACH OTHER AS FOLLOWS,

                                      -13-

THE PARTIES WILL WORK TOGETHER TO EVALUATE THE ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE OF VARIOUS
SWITCH LINKING OPTIONS TO INTERCONNECT AND FACILITATE NETWORKING OF THE PARTIES'
RESPECTIVE SYSTEMS AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT. SHOULD THE PARTIES AGREE TO
INSTALL AND MAINTAIN LINKING FACILITIES, THE COST OF THE LINKING FACILITIES
SHALL BE ALLOCATED PURSUANT TO THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS:

DOBSON AND ACC WILL EACH PAY ONE-HALF OF THE EQUIPMENT COSTS FOR THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF MICROWAVE FACILITIES TO LINK THE PARTIES' RESPECTIVE SYSTEMS
FOR THE PURPOSES OF AUTOMATIC CALL DELIVERY AND AUTOMATIC CALL HAND-OFF. EACH
PARTY IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF PREPARING ITS OWN FACILITIES FOR
THE SYSTEM LINK.

PARTIES' RESPECTIVE SYSTEMS TOGETHER FOR THESE PURPOSES SHALL BE SPLIT BETWEEN
THE PARTIES AS FOLLOWS:

         (a) Dobson and ACC shall each pay one-half of the cost for the
installation, use, modification, or discontinuance of the linking facilities.
Each party is solely responsible for all costs to prepare its own facilities for
the link between the Systems.

         (b) For ease of administration, Dobson will order and be the customer
of record ("COR") for such facilities. ACC will reimburse Dobson monthly for its
share of the recurring costs of such facilities. The COR shall be responsible
for invoicing the other Party for its share of the costs, with payment due
within 30 days of receipt of the invoice.


                                      -15-
<PAGE>


THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 10.8 RELATES ONLY TO THOSE COSTS NECESSARY
TO ESTABLISH THE REFERENCED FACILITIES. THIS SECTION IS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE
ALLOCATION OF COSTS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROVISION OF SERVICE FOR EACH PARTY'S
CUSTOMERS.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE REVENUES AND COSTS FOR A CALL BELONG TO THE PARTY
WHOSE SYSTEM OPERATES THE ORIGINATING CELL SITE (THE "BILL AND KEEP SYSTEM").

SHALL BE DELETED FROM THE APPROPRIATE SCHEDULE, BUT DOING SO WILL NOT RELIEVE A
PARTY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 14.1.

THE TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT AFFECT THE RIGHTS AND

VALIDITY, OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A CLAIM
BASED ON OR ARISING FROM AN ALLEGED TORT, SHALL BE RESOLVED AS PROVIDED IN THIS
SECTION 13.2. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT ANY DISAGREEMENTS BE RESOLVED
AMICABLY TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE.

IF A DISAGREEMENT CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PARTIES WITH
DAY-TO-DAY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH MATTER SHALL BE REFERRED TO
AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF EACH OF THE PARTIES. THE EXECUTIVE OFFICERS SHALL
CONDUCT FACE-TO-FACE NEGOTIATIONS AT A NEUTRAL LOCATION OR SUCH OTHER LOCATION
AS SHALL BE MUTUALLY AGREED UPON. IF THESE REPRESENTATIVES ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE
THE DISPUTE WITHIN TEN BUSINESS DAYS AFTER EITHER PARTY REQUESTS THE INVOLVEMENT
OF THE EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, THEN EITHER PARTY MAY, BUT IS NOT REQUIRED TO, REFER

MEDIATION UPON WRITTEN NOTIFICATION BY EITHER PARTY. THE PARTIES SHALL MUTUALLY
SELECT AN INDEPENDENT MEDIATOR EXPERIENCED IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
DISPUTES. THE SPECIFIC FORMAT FOR THE MEDIATION SHALL BE LEFT TO THE DISCRETION
OF THE MEDIATOR. IF MEDIATION DOES NOT RESULT IN RESOLUTION OF THE DISAGREEMENT
WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OF THE INITIAL REQUEST FOR MEDIATION, THEN EITHER PARTY MAY,
BUT IS NOT REQUIRED TO, REFER THE MATTER TO ARBITRATION.

ANY DISAGREEMENT NOT FINALLY RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOREGOING
PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13.2 SHALL, UPON WRITTEN NOTICE BY EITHER PARTY TO
THE OTHER, BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. SUBJECT TO THIS SECTION
13.2.3, SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED THROUGH, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
RULES OF, JAMS/ENDISPUTE. A SINGLE NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR SHALL DECIDE ALL DISPUTES.
EACH PARTY SHALL BEAR ITS OWN EXPENSES WITH RESPECT TO THE ARBITRATION, EXCEPT
THAT THE COSTS OF ARBITRATION PROCEEDING ITSELF, INCLUDING THE FEES AND EXPENSES
OF THE ARBITRATOR, SHALL BE SHARED EQUALLY BY THE PARTIES. THE ARBITRATION SHALL
TAKE PLACE IN A NEUTRAL LOCATION SELECTED BY THE ARBITRATOR. THE ARBITRATOR MAY
PERMIT DISCOVERY TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE FEDERAL

                                      -18-
<PAGE>


RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR TO SUCH LESSER EXTENT AS THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES
IS REASONABLE. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE BOUND BY AND STRICTLY ENFORCE THE TERMS
OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL MAKE A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO APPLY
APPLICABLE LAW, BUT AN ARBITRATION DECISION AND AWARD SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO
REVIEW BECAUSE OF ERRORS OF LAW. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE THE SOLE AUTHORITY TO
RESOLVE ISSUES OF THE ARBITRABILITY OF ANY DISAGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE
APPLICABILITY OR RUNNING OF ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATION. THE ARBITRATOR
SHALL NOT HAVE POWER TO AWARD DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE IN EXCESS
OF ACTUAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES NOR TO AWARD PUNITIVE DAMAGES NOR ANY DAMAGES
THAT ARE EXCLUDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
CLAIM THERETO. THE AWARD OF ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE FINAL, CONCLUSIVE AND
BINDING ON THE PARTIES. JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING
JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTY AGAINST WHICH THE AWARD WAS MADE. NOTHING CONTAINED
IN THIS SECTION 13.2.3 SHALL BE DEEMED TO PREVENT EITHER PARTY FROM SEEKING ANY
INTERIM EQUITABLE RELIEF, SUCH AS A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION OR TEMPORARY
RESTRAINING ORDER, PENDING THE RESULTS OF THE ARBITRATION. THE UNITED STATES
ARBITRATION ACT AND FEDERAL ARBITRATION LAW SHALL GOVERN THE INTERPRETATION,
ENFORCEMENT, AND PROCEEDINGS PURSUANT TO THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE IN THIS
AGREEMENT.



                             SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

NEITHER PARTY MAY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, SELL, ASSIGN, TRANSFER, OR CONVEY ITS
INTEREST IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER,
INCLUDING ANY ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OCCURRING BY OPERATION OF LAW, WITHOUT THE
WRITTEN CONSENT OF BOTH PARTIES, EXCEPT THAT (i) EITHER PARTY MAY ASSIGN OR
DELEGATE THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER TO AN
AFFILIATE OF SUCH PARTY WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE OTHER PARTY, BUT SUCH
ASSIGNMENT OR DELEGATION WILL NOT RELIEVE THE PARTY OF ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS
HEREUNDER AND (ii) A PARTY MAY ASSIGN ITS RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER TO AN
ASSIGNEE OF ITS SERVICE LICENSE OR PERMIT ISSUED BY THE FCC, PROVIDED THAT SUCH
ASSIGNEE EXPRESSLY ASSUMES, BY WRITTEN INSTRUMENT APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE
OTHER PARTY, ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF SUCH PARTY HEREUNDER AND THEREBY BECOMES
A PARTY HEREUNDER. IN NO EVENT WILL AN ASSIGNMENT PERMITTED UNDER THIS SECTION
14.1 WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE OTHER PARTY OBLIGATE A SERVING CARRIER TO
PROVIDE SERVICE TO CUSTOMERS OF THE ASSIGNEE OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OTHER THAN
CUSTOMERS RESIDING IN THE AREA IN WHICH THE ASSIGNOR PREVIOUSLY WAS LICENSED TO
PROVIDE SERVICE.

NO PERSON OTHER THAN A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL
ACQUIRE ANY RIGHTS HEREUNDER AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY OR OTHERWISE BY VIRTUE
OF THIS AGREEMENT.



                NO PARTNERSHIP OR AGENCY RELATIONSHIP IS CREATED

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute the Parties as partners
with one another or render any Party liable for any debts or obligations of any
other Party, nor shall any Party hereby be constituted the agent of the other
Party.
