              Best
      Efforts. CONSULTANT shall
      devote such time and effort, as it deems commercially reasonable and
      adequate under the circumstances to the affairs of DSE to render the
      consulting services contemplated by this agreement.  CONSULTANT
      is not responsible for the performance of any services, which may be
      rendered hereunder without DSE providing the necessary information in
      writing prior thereto, nor shall DSE include any services that constitute
      the rendering of any legal opinions or performance of work that is in the
      ordinary purview of the Certified Public Accountant.  CONSULTANT
      cannot guarantee results on behalf of DSE, but shall pursue all reasonable
      avenues available through its network of contacts.  It is
      understood that a portion of the compensation paid hereunder is being paid
      by DSE to have CONSULTANT remain available to advise it on transactions on
      an as-needed basis.

      Contractor.  Consultant agrees to perform its consulting
      duties hereto as an independent contractor.  Nothing contained
      herein shall be considered to as creating an employer-employee
      relationship between the parties to this Agreement.  The Client
      shall not make social security, worker’s compensation or unemployment
      insurance payments on behalf of Consultant.  The parties hereto
      acknowledge and agree that Consultant cannot guarantee the results or
      effectiveness of any of the services rendered or to be rendered by
      Consultant.  Rather, Consultant shall conduct its operations and
      provide its services in a professional manner and in accordance with good
      industry practice.  Consultant will use its best efforts and
      does not promise results.

      reasonable and convenient times and places as may be mutually agreed
      upon.  Except as aforesaid, the time, place and manner of
      performance of the services hereunder, including the amount of time to be
      allocated by the Consultant to any specific service, shall be determined
      at the sole discretion of the
