      5. ARBITRATION.

            a. Any dispute, difference, disagreement, or controversy between the
parties hereto, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the
interpretation of the meaning or construction of this Agreement, shall be
referred to a single arbitrator agreed upon by the parties to such dispute. If
the parties to the dispute are unable to agree upon the selection of such
arbitrator, then an arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration
Association pursuant to its existing rules and regulations. Such arbitration
shall take place in Camden County, New Jersey, unless otherwise agreed upon by
all of the parties. Every such dispute, difference, disagreement or controversy
which is submitted to arbitration shall be dealt with and disposed of pursuant
to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and every award or
determination therein shall be final and binding upon all of the parties. There
shall be no appeal from such award or determination, and judgment thereon may be
entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

            b. The arbitrator, if he deems that the case requires it, is
authorized to award to the party whose contention is sustained, such sums as he
shall deem proper to compensate such party for the time and expense incident to
the proceeding and, if the arbitration was demanded without reasonable cause, he
may also award damages for delay. The arbitrator shall fix his own compensation,
unless otherwise provided by agreement, and shall assess the costs and charges
of the proceedings upon any or all parties.

      6. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which shall be
deemed to be one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding
when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear
the signatures of all the parties hereto. The execution of any number of
counterparts shall have the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the
same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute
one agreement.

      7. CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement and all questions relating to its
validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws applicable to contracts made and wholly
performed within the State of Nevada.

      8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire understanding
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings,
inducements or conditions, expressed or implied, oral or written, except as
herein contained. The expressed terms hereof control and supersede any course of
performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.
This Agreement may not be modified or amended other than by an agreement in
writing signed by the parties hereto, and no discharge of the terms hereof shall
be deemed valid unless by full performance by the parties hereto or by a writing
signed by the parties hereto.

      9. HEADINGS. The headings to the various sections and subdivisions
contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not
intended, nor shall they be construed, to modify, define, limit, or expand the
intent of the parties as expressed in this Agreement, and they shall not affect
the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

      10. GENDER AND NUMBER. Words used herein, regardless of the number and
gender specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other
number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine, or
neuter, as the context requires.

      11. WAIVER. The waiver by either party of any of the terms and/or
conditions hereof and/or of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall
not operate or be construed as a waiver of any party of any other breach or of
any subsequent breach.

      12. BENEFIT AND OBLIGATION. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of all the parties hereto, their successors, assigns, personal
representatives and heirs, as the case may be.
