notify the Company whether the Buyers desire to enter into a SHS Transaction

period commencing at the Effective Time of the Merger  and extending until the date that is sixty
(60) calendar days following the Effective Time of the Merger (the “Negotiation  Period”).

Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the

of the Parties that this Agreement shall be construed in such fashion as to
maintain its existence, validity and enforceability to the greatest extent
possible.  In any such event, this
Agreement shall be construed as if such clause of portion thereof had never
been contained in this Agreement, and there shall be deemed substituted therefore

interpreting any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes and contains the
complete, final and exclusive understanding and agreement of the Parties and

provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or construed in any way to result

Law.  This Agreement, the rights of the parties and
all claims arising in whole or in part under or in connection herewith, will be
governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws in effect in the
State of Delaware, without giving effect to

any choice or
conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws
of any other jurisdiction.


3.13.       Jurisdiction;
Venue; Service of Process.


3.13.1. Jurisdiction.  Each party to this Agreement, by its
execution hereof, (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state courts of the State of Delaware for the purpose of any claim
between the parties arising in whole or in part under or in connection with
this Agreement, (b) hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable
law, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in
any such claim, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction
of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from
attachment or execution, that any such claim brought in one of the above-named
courts should be dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens,
should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the above-named
courts, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding
in any other court other than one of the above-named courts, or that this
Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court
and (c) hereby agrees not to commence any such claim other than before one of
the above-named courts.  Notwithstanding
the previous sentence, a party may commence any such claim in a court other
than the above-named courts solely to seek pre-litigation attachment of assets
or preliminary injunction relief prior to litigation on the merits in the
above-named courts or for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued
by one of the above-named courts.


3.13.2.  Venue.  Each
party agrees that for any claim between the parties arising in whole or in part
under or in connection with this Agreement, such party bring claims only in the
State of Texas.  Each party further
waives any claim and will not assert that venue should properly lie in any
other location within the selected jurisdiction.


3.13.3.  Service of Process.  Each party hereby (a) consents to service of
process respecting any claim between the parties arising in whole or in part
under or in connection with this Agreement in any manner permitted by Delaware
law, (b) agrees that service of process made in accordance with clause (a) or
made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address
specified pursuant to Section 3.4, will constitute good and valid service of
process in any such claim and (c) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of
motion, as a defense, or otherwise) in any such claim any claim that service of
process made in accordance with clause (a) or (b) does not constitute good and
valid service of process.


3.14.       Waiver
of Jury Trial.  TO THE EXTENT
NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES HEREBY
WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT
OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN
PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR
HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A
COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN



 4
 






 



EVIDENCE OF
THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES
IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER
BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF
COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.


3.15.       Specific
Performance.  The parties to
this Agreement agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms, or were otherwise breached,
irreparable damage may occur which would be extremely impractical or difficult
to measure and that as a result no adequate remedy of law may exist;
accordingly the non-defaulting party, in addition to any other available rights
or remedies, shall have the right to seek, in a court of competent
jurisdiction, specific performance of the terms of this Agreement.
