      effect without  payment of  compensation by written notice if you accept a
      position with or acquire interests in another company, without prior Board

      to a material  conflict of interest in your  position as a director of the
      Company.  If any conflict with your duties as a director  does arise,  you
      should consult the Board immediately.

5.5   For the  avoidance  of doubt,  you  accept  and agree  that you are not an
