the Purchased Assets are developed by the Seller and made ready for commercial
sales (2) the Company fails to make payment of the Monthly Fee for three
consecutive months, and (3) the date on which the Company terminates the
services of the Seller then the Company will grant the Seller an unrestricted

into a license agreement pursuant to terms and conditions to be negotiated in
good faith and agreed upon by the parties.

          2.6      Future
Sale of Purchase Assets. The Seller agrees that the Company has the right to
sell its right, title and interest in the Purchase Assets at any time, subject
to the following conditions:

      cash payments and the royalty will be split equally between the Company
      and the Seller, provided that if the royalty being granted is less than

      the Company will be entitled to the balance, if any;

	 	 	 
	 	b. 	
      if the terms of the future sale include cash
      consideration only, with no royalty payable, the Company will be entitled
      to retain the first US$150,000 of the cash consideration to be paid, with
      70% of the balance of the cash consideration payable to the Company and
      the remaining 30% payable to the Seller; and

	 	 	 
	 	c. 	
      any future sale of the Purchased Assets by the Company
      will be subject to the prior written approval of the Seller, which such
      approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Any refusal of approval by the
      Seller will not be considered reasonable if the transaction that is the

              3.1  

            	
              Administrator.  The
      Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors, unless and until
      such time as the Board of Directors delegates the administration of the
      Plan to a committee, which shall be appointed by and shall serve at the
      pleasure of the Board of Directors.  The powers, duties and
      procedures of any appointed committee shall be governed its adopted
      charter, or in the absence of such charter, by this article. Any committee
      member shall be deemed to have resigned automatically from the committee
      upon his termination of service with the Company.  To the extent
      the Administrator considers it desirable for transactions relating to a
      grant of Awards to be eligible to qualify for an exemption under Rule
      16b-3, the Administrator shall consist of a committee of two or more
      members of the Board, all of whom qualify as “non-employee directors”
      within the meaning of Rule 16b-3.  To the extent the
      Administrator considers it desirable for compensation delivered pursuant
      to a grant of Awards to be eligible to qualify for an exemption under
      Section 162(m), the Plan shall be administered by a committee of two or
      more members of the Board, all of whom qualify as “outside directors”
      within the meaning of Section 162(m).  The Administrator may
      from time to time remove members from or add members to any such
      committee; fill vacancies on the committee, howsoever caused; and
      otherwise increase or decrease the number of members of such committee, in
      each case as the Administrator deems appropriate to permit transactions in
      Common Stock pursuant to the Plan and to satisfy such conditions of Rule
      16b-3 or Section 162(m) as then in effect.  Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, the full Board of Directors, acting by a majority of its
      members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan
      with respect to Awards granted to non-employee
  Directors.

              Meetings
      and Actions.  The Administrator shall hold meetings at
      such times and places as it may determine in its sole
      discrimination.  A majority of the members of the Administrator
      shall constitute a quorum, and the acts of the majority of the members
      present at a meeting or a consent in writing signed by all members of the
      Administrator shall be the acts of the Administrator and shall be final,
      binding and conclusive upon all persons, including the Company, its
      Affiliates, its stockholders, and all persons having any interest in
      Awards that may be or have been granted pursuant to the

      Awards granted under the Plan and to prescribe, amend and rescind rules
      and regulations for administration of the Plan.  The
      Administrator may from time to time in its discretion determine which of

      Affiliates should receive Awards, the type of Awards to be granted, and as
      applicable, the number of shares subject to the Awards, the grant dates,
      the exercise or purchase price for shares subject to the Awards, the
      vesting conditions and duration of the Awards and the restrictions
      applicable to each grant of shares pursuant to the Awards.  In
      selecting Participants and granting Awards, the Administrator shall take
      into consideration the contribution the Participant has made or may make
      to the success of the Company or its Affiliates and such other factors as
      the Administrator shall determine.

      upon all persons, including the Company, its Affiliates, its stockholders,
      and all persons having any interest in Awards that may be or have been
      granted pursuant to the Plan.  Subject to the express provisions
      of the Plan, the Administrator is authorized, in its sole discretion, to
      construe the Plan and the respective Award Agreements executed hereunder,
      to prescribe and enforce such rules and regulations relating to the Plan
      as it may deem advisable to carry out the intent of the Plan, and to

      restrictions and provisions of any outstanding Award in any manner that is
      not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan (including but not
      limited to cashing out Awards, extending the exercise or effective periods
      of Awards, accelerating the vesting of Awards, and converting or
      substituting any or all stock options, stock appreciation rights or other
      stock awards held by service providers of an entity acquired by the
      Company) the terms, restrictions and provisions of each Award, including
      such terms, restrictions and provisions as shall be requisite in the
      judgment of the Administrator to cause designated Awards to qualify for
      specific tax treatment, and to make all other determinations necessary or
      advisable for administering the Plan.  The Administrator may
      correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency
      in any Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem
      expedient to carry it into effect.  The determinations of the
      Administrator on any Plan matters shall be final, conclusive and binding

      Laws, the Administrator may from time to time delegate to a committee of
      one or more members of the Board or one or more officers of the Company
      the authority to grant or amend Awards; provided, however, that in no
      event shall an officer of the Company be delegated the authority to grant
      awards to, or amend awards held by, the following
      individuals:  (a) individuals who are subject to Section 16 of
      the Exchange Act, (b) Covered Employees, or (c) officers of the Company
      (or Directors) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been
      delegated hereunder; provided further, that
      any delegation of administrative authority shall only be permitted to the
      extent it is permissible under Section 162(m) and other Applicable
      Laws.  Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the
      restrictions and limits that the Administrator specifies at the time of
      such delegation, and the Administrator may at any time rescind the
      authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee.  At all
      times, the delegatee appointed under this section shall serve in such
      capacity at the pleasure of the

      Agreement in such form and containing such provisions not inconsistent
      with the provisions of the Plan as the Administrator from time to time
      will approve.  The terms of any Award need not be identical to
      the terms of any other Award to the same or other
      Participants.  An Award may be granted on more than one occasion
      to the same person, and, subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan,
      such Award may include any type of Award or any combination of Awards
      under the Plan. Award Agreements evidencing Awards intended to qualify as
      Performance-Based Compensation shall contain such terms and conditions as
      may be necessary to meet the applicable provisions of Section
      162(m).  Award Agreements evidencing Incentive Stock Options
      shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to meet the
      applicable provisions of Code Section

    VESTING
OF AWARDS

     

    An Award
shall vest and/or become exercisable in whole or in part and at such times as
determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award
Agreement.  The Administrator in its discretion may provide that an
Award will be vested or exercisable upon (a) the attainment of one or more
performance goals or targets established by the Administrator, which may be
based on factors including, but not limited to, the price of a share of Common
Stock, the Company's earnings per share, the Company's market share, the
Company's sales, the Company's operating margin, the earnings before or after
interest, taxes, depreciation, and/or amortization of the Company; (b) the
Participant's continued employment as an Employee with the Company or continued
service as a Director for a specified period of time; (c) the occurrence of any
event or the satisfaction of any other condition specified by the Administrator
in its sole discretion; or (d) a combination of any of the
foregoing.  Each Award may, in the discretion of the Administrator,
have different provisions with respect to vesting and/or exercise of the
Award.  At any time after grant of an Award, the Administrator may, in
its sole discretion, accelerate the period during which an Award
vests.

              (a)  

            	
              Option
      Exercise Price.  The Option price (i.e., exercise price)
      per share of Common Stock under each Option shall be determined by the
      Administrator and stated in the Option Award Agreement.  The
      Option price for any Option that is intended to be an Incentive Stock
      Option or to constitute performance-based compensation within the meaning
      of Section 162(m) shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value
      (determined as of the day the Option is granted) of the shares subject to
      the Option.  Nonqualified Stock Options may be granted with an
      Option price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (determined as of
      the day the Option is granted) of the shares subject to the
      Option.

            

    

     

    In the
case of an Option that is subject to Section 409A (such as a discounted
Nonqualified Stock Option), the timing of the exercise of the Option shall be
limited to one (or the earliest of two or more) of the following events, as
specified in the applicable Option Award Agreement, as determined and
interpreted in accordance with Section 409A: (1) a Change in Control, (2) the
Participant's separation from service, (3) a specified date, or (4) the taxable
year in which the Option vests.  In the event that Participant fails
to exercise such an Option within the prescribed period, the Participant shall
forfeit all rights under the Option; the Option Award Agreement shall terminate
and be of no further force or effect; and the Company shall be released from all
obligations under the Option.

     

    The
exercise price of an Option may not be repriced.

              Duration of
      Options.  Each Option shall be of a duration as specified
      in the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term of any
      Option shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date on which the
      Option is granted and shall be subject to early termination as provided
      herein.

      on Incentive Stock Options.

            

    

     

                    
(i) Employee Status. An
Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to an individual who is an Employee
at the time the Option is granted.

     

    (ii) Dollar
Limit.  To the extent that an Incentive Stock Option (together
with all Incentive Stock Options granted to the Participant under the Plan and
all other stock option plans of the Company and its Affiliate) becomes
exercisable for the first time during any calendar year for shares having a Fair
Market Value greater than $100,000 (or such other limit effective under the
Code), the portion of each Incentive Stock Option that exceeds such amount will
be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. The rule set forth in the preceding
sentence shall be applied by taking Options and other “incentive stock options”
into account in the order in which they were granted and the Fair Market Value
of stock shall be determined as of the time the respective options were
granted.

     

                                                   
(iii) 10%
Shareholder.  No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to an
Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock (as
determined in accordance with Code Section 424(d)) representing more than 10% of
the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any
Affiliate, unless the option price of such Incentive Stock Option is at least
110% of the Fair Market Value (determined as of the day the Incentive Stock
Option is granted) of the stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option, and the
Incentive Stock Option by its terms is not exercisable more than five (5) years
from the date it is granted.

     

    (iv) Disqualifying
Disposition. A Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any
disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock
Option which occurs within (A) two years from the date of granting (including
the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Code
Section 424(h)) such Option to such Participant, or (B) one year after the
transfer of such shares to such Participant.

     

    
      	
              (d)  

            	
              Rights as
      Stockholder.  A Participant shall have no rights as a
      stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock
      covered by an Option until the date of the issuance of the stock
      certificate for such shares.

            

    

     

    
      	
              (e)

      the Administrator shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation,
      provisions that relate to the Participant's ability to exercise an Option
      in whole or in part to the passage of time or the achievement of specific
      goals or the occurrence of certain events, as specified by the
      Administrator.

      exercised by delivery of an irrevocable notice of exercise in such manner
      as determined by the Company, stating the number of shares being purchased
      and the restrictions imposed on the shares so purchased, if

      delivery by the Participant of payment for shares and withholding taxes
      incurred by reason of the exercise and certain representations, if
      requested by the Administrator.  The Administrator shall
      determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option,
      including the method of payment, either through the terms of the Option
      Award Agreement or at the time of exercise of an
      Option.  Acceptable forms of consideration may

      to the Company's discretion to refuse for any reason and at any time to
      accept such consideration and subject to any conditions or limitations
      established by the Administrator, other shares held by the Participant
      which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the
      aggregate exercise price of the shares as to which said Option shall be
      exercised;

            

    

     

    
      	
              (c)  

            	
              delivery
      of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a
      broker with respect to shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise
      or vesting of an Award, and that the broker has been directed to pay a
      sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in
      satisfaction of the aggregate payments required; provided, that payment of
      such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such
      sale;

      shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value that does not exceed the
      aggregate exercise price, together with required withholding amounts (if
      any), provided that the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from
      the Participant to the extent of any remaining balance not satisfied by
      such reduction in the number of whole shares to be
  issued,

      the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or
      dates upon which the Participant would otherwise be taxable under Code

      equivalents, phantom stock , phantom stock units and performance
      units.  Such Awards may be issued alone or in conjunction with
      other Awards under the Plan.  In addition, the Administrator
      may, from time to time, in its sole discretion and consistent with
      Applicable Laws that would prohibit the imposition of the constructive or
      actual receipt of income, afford a Participant the opportunity to convert
      the form of Award currently held by the Participant prior to the time such
      Participant would become vested in such Award (e.g., from a Restricted
      Stock Award to a restricted stock unit award).  The
      Administrator, in its sole discretion, may include in any Award any
      provisions necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences to the Participant
      under Section 409A.

      certificates and issuing stop-transfer notices to agents and

      Participant's death, or if a Participant should die within a period of 90
      days after termination of the Participant's Continuous Service under

      (after acceleration of vesting) in exchange for cash or consideration
      similar to that received by stockholders of Common Stock of the Company in
      the Change in Control, less the exercise price required under any such
      Awards.

            

    

     

    
      	
              13.4  

            	
              Other
      Events.  In the event of changes to the outstanding
      Common Stock by reason of recapitalization, reorganization, mergers,
      consolidations, combinations, exchanges or other relevant changes in
      capitalization occurring after the date of the grant of any Award and not
      otherwise provided for under this article, any outstanding Awards and any
      Award Agreements evidencing such Awards shall be subject to adjustment by
      the Administrator in its discretion as to the number and exercise price of
      shares of Common Stock or other consideration subject to such
      Award.  In the event of any such change to the outstanding
      Common Stock, the aggregate number of shares available under the Plan may
      be appropriately adjusted by the Administrator, the determination of which
      shall be conclusive.

              No
      Adjustment for Certain Awards.  Except as hereinabove
      expressly provided, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any
      class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for
      cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of
      rights or warrants to subscribe therefor or upon conversion of shares or
      obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other
      securities, and in any case whether or not for fair market value, shall
      not affect previously granted Awards, and no adjustment by reason thereof
      shall be made with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock subject
      to Awards theretofore granted or the exercise price per share, if
      applicable.

              Amendment
      of the Plan.  The Board of Directors may at any time and
      from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any part
      thereof as it may deem proper, except that no such action shall diminish
      or impair the rights under an Award previously granted without the consent
      of the affected Participant.  Unless the stockholders of the
      Company shall have given their approval, the Board of Directors may not
      amend the Plan to (a) increase the maximum aggregate number of shares that
      may be issued under the Plan, (b) increase the maximum number of shares
      that may be issued under the Plan through Incentive Stock Options, (c)
      change the class of individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Plan,
      or (d) make any other change that would require stockholder approval under
      Applicable Laws.

      of the Plan.  The Board of Directors may at any time
      suspend or terminate the Plan.  No such suspension or
      termination shall diminish or impair the rights under an Award previously
      granted without the consent of the affected Participant, and termination
      of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the
      powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the
      Plan prior to the date of such termination. No Awards may be granted or
      awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan,
      and in no event may any Award be granted under the Plan after the tenth
      (10th)
      anniversary of the Effective Date.

    GENERAL
PROVISIONS

     

    
      	
              15.1  

            	
              Tax
      Obligations.  To the extent provided by the terms of an
      Award Agreement, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state local and
      foreign income or other tax withholding obligation (including the
      Participant’s FICA or employment tax obligation) under Applicable Laws
      relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under an Award by
      tendering a cash payment or, if permitted by the Administrator, either
      withholding from any cash compensation paid to the Participant by the
      Company or its Affiliate or delivering to the Company owned and
      unencumbered shares of Common Stock.  The number of shares of
      Common Stock which may be withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the
      number of shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding
      or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on
      the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and
      foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such
      supplemental taxable income.  Notwithstanding any provision to
      the contrary, all taxes associated with participation in the Plan,
      including any liability imposed under Section 409A, shall be borne by the
      Participant.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.2  

            	
              Section
      409A.  To the extent that the Administrator determines
      that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A, the
      Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and
      conditions required by Section 409A.  To the extent applicable,
      the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with
      Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
      contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Administrator
      determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A, the
      Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable
      Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including
      amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any
      other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or
      appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A and/or preserve the
      intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award,
      or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the
      application of any penalty taxes under Section
  409A.

              15.3  

            	
              Rule
      16b-3.  It is intended that, at any time the Company is
      Publicly Traded, the Plan and any Award made to a person subject to
      Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall meet all of the requirements of Rule
      16b-3.  If any provision of the Plan or of any such Award would
      disqualify the Plan or such Award under, or would otherwise not comply
      with the requirements of, Rule 16b-3, such provision or Award shall be
      construed or deemed to have been amended as necessary to conform to the
      requirements of Rule 16b-3.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.4  

            	
              Section
      162(m).

            

    

     

    
      	
              (a)  

            	
              Performance-Based
      Compensation.  It is intended that, at any time when the
      Common Stock is Publicly-Traded, the Plan shall comply fully with and meet
      all the requirements of Section 162(m) so that Awards hereunder which are
      made to Participants who are "covered employees" (as defined in Section
      162(m)) shall constitute "performance-based" compensation within the
      meaning of Section 162(m).  If an Award is intended to qualify
      as “performance-based” compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m),
      it shall be payable solely on account of attainment of established
      performance goals.  If any provision of the Plan or an
      applicable Award Agreement would disqualify the Plan or Award or would not
      otherwise permit the Plan or Award to comply with Section 162(m) as so
      intended, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform
      to the requirements or provisions of Section
  162(m).

            

    

     

    
      	
              (b)  

            	
              Performance-Based
      Requirements. To the extent necessary to comply with the
      requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C), with respect to any Award which is
      intended to qualify as performance-based compensation, no later than 90
      days following the commencement of any performance period or any
      designated fiscal period or period of service (or such earlier time as may
      be required under Section 162(m)), the Administrator shall, in writing,
      (i) designate one or more eligible individuals, (ii) select the
      performance criteria applicable to such performance period, (iii)
      establish the performance goals, and amounts of such Awards, as
      applicable, which may be earned for such performance period, and (iv)
      specify the relationship between performance criteria and the performance
      goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each
      covered employee for such performance
period.

            

    

     

    
      	
              (c)  

            	
              Performance
      Criteria. The performance criteria to be utilized under the Plan
      for such purposes shall consist of objective tests based on one or more of
      the following:  earnings or earnings per share, cash flow,
      customer satisfaction, revenues, financial return ratios (such as return
      on equity and/or return on assets), market performance, stockholder return
      and/or value, operating profits, EBITDA, net profits, profit returns and
      margins, stock price, credit quality, sales growth, market share,
      comparisons to peer companies (on a company-wide or divisional basis),
      working capital and/or individual or aggregate employee
      performance.

            

    

     

    
      	
              (d)  

            	
              Certification
      of Results.  Following the completion of each performance
      period, the Administrator shall certify in writing whether and the extent
      to which the applicable performance goals have been achieved for such
      performance period.  In determining the amount earned under such
      Awards, the Administrator shall have the right to reduce or eliminate (but
      not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to
      take into account additional factors that the Administrator may deem
      relevant including the assessment of individual or corporate performance
      for the performance period.

              15.5  

            	
              Section
      13(k).  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan
      to the contrary, no Participant who is a Director or an “executive
      officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the
      Exchange Act shall be permitted to make payment with respect to any Awards
      granted under the Plan, or continue any extension of credit with respect
      to such payment with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the
      Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange
  Act.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.6  

            	
              Beneficiary
      Designations.  Each Participant may, from time to time,
      name a beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be contingent or successive
      beneficiaries) for purposes of receiving any amount which is payable in
      connection with an Award under the Plan upon or subsequent to the
      Participant's death.  Each such beneficiary designation shall
      serve to revoke all prior beneficiary designations, be in a form
      prescribed by the Company and be effective solely when filed by the
      Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant's
      lifetime.  In the absence of any such written beneficiary
      designation, for purposes of the Plan, a Participant's beneficiary shall
      be the Participant's estate.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.7  

            	
              No
      Employment Rights.  Nothing contained in this Plan or in
      any Award granted under the Plan shall confer upon any Participant any
      right with respect to the continuation of such Participant's Continuous
      Service by the Company or any Affiliate or interfere in any way with the
      right of the Company or any Affiliate, subject to the terms of any
      separate employment agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate
      such Continuous Service or to increase or decrease the compensation of the
      Participant from the rate in existence at the time of the grant of the
      Award.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.8  

            	
              Jurisdictions.  In
      order to assure the viability of Awards granted to Participants employed
      in various jurisdictions, the Administrator shall have the authority to
      adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or
      desirable to comply with provisions of the Applicable Laws in which the
      Company may operate to assure the viability of the benefits from Awards
      granted to Participants employed in such countries, to accommodate
      differences in local law, tax policy, or custom applicable in the
      jurisdiction in which the Participant resides or is employed and to meet
      the objectives of the Plan.  Moreover, the Administrator may
      approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements, or alternative
      versions of, the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such
      purposes without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for
      any other purpose; provided, however, that no such supplements,
      amendments, restatements, or alternative versions shall increase the share
      limitations contained in Article 4.  Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, the Administrator may not take any actions hereunder, and no
      Awards shall be granted, that would violate any Applicable
      Laws.

            

    

     

     

     

    23

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
      	
              15.9  

            	
              Foreign
      Currency.  A Participant may be required to provide
      evidence that any currency used to pay the exercise price of any Award was
      acquired and taken out of the jurisdiction in which the Participant
      resides in accordance with Applicable Laws, including foreign exchange
      control laws and regulations.  The amount payable will be
      determined by conversion from U.S. dollars at the exchange rate as
      selected by the Administrator on the date of
  exercise.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.10  

            	
              Other
      Employee Benefits.  Unless so provided by the applicable
      plan, the amount of compensation deemed to be received by a Participant as
      a result of the exercise of an Award shall not constitute earnings with
      respect to which any other employee benefits of the person are determined,
      including without limitation benefits under any pension, profit sharing,
      life insurance, or disability or other salary continuation
      plan.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.11  

            	
              Confidentiality
      of Information.  Except as required by Applicable Laws,
      information regarding the grant of Awards under this Plan is confidential
      information of the Company and may not be shared with anyone other than
      the Participant's immediate family and personal financial advisor and
      other person(s) designated by Participant by power of attorney or
      assignment.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.12  

            	
              No
      Funding.  The Plan shall be unfunded.  The
      Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or
      to make any other segregation of funds or assets to ensure the payment of
      any Award.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.13  

            	
              Severability.  If
      any provision of this Plan is held by any court or governmental authority
      to be illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity
      shall not affect the remaining provisions.  Instead, each
      provision held to be illegal or invalid shall, if possible, be construed
      and enforced in a manner that will give effect to the terms of such
      provision to the fullest extent possible while remaining legal and
      valid.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.14  

            	
              Governing
      Law and Venue.  This Plan, and all Awards granted under
      this Plan, shall be construed and shall take effect in accordance with the
      laws of the State of Nevada without regard to conflicts of laws
      principles.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.15  

            	
              Use
      of Proceeds.  Any cash proceeds received by the Company
      from the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for
      general corporate purposes, but in no event shall be used to purchase
      shares in the public market for issuance of Stock or Awards under the
      Plan.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.16  

            	
              Appendices.  The
      Administrator may approve such supplements, amendments or appendices to
      the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for purposes of
      compliance with Applicable Laws or otherwise and such supplements,
      amendments or appendices shall be considered a part of the Plan; provided,
      however, that no such supplements shall increase the share limitations
      contained in Article 4.

              15.17  

            	
              Indemnification.  To
      the extent allowable pursuant to Applicable Laws, each member of the
      committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
      Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed
      upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting
      from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which the member may be a
      party or in which the member may be involved by reason of any action or
      failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all
      amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action,
      suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she
      gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend
      the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her
      own behalf.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be
      exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may
      be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or
      Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company
      may have to indemnify them or hold them
  harmless.
