                otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone acting on behalf
                of any
                party, which are not embodied herein, and that no other agreement,
                statement or promise not contained in this Agreement shall be valid
                or
                binding on either party.

              The
                parties hereunto agree and acknowledge that they have each sought
                separate
                counsel because the effects of this Agreement are material to their
                fortunes, and the consequences of this Agreement are onerous, far
                reaching
                and engage serious obligations.

                modification of this Agreement will be effective only if it is in

                and signed by the party to be bound
                thereby.

              The
                failure of either party to insist on strict compliance with any of
                the
                terms, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement by other party
                shall not

                any
                waiver or relinquishment of any right or power at any one time or
                times be
                deemed a waiver or relinquishment of that right to power for all
                or any
                other times.

                jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining
                provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force without being

    SCHEDULE
      "A"

     

     

    This
      is SCHEDULE "A" to an Engagement Agreement dated April 15, 2004 between
THE
      TRADESHOW MARKETING COMPANY LTD. and
      Norman Friend

     

     The
      Director agrees to serve in the position and with the duties and
      responsibilities as set out below, and to perform such other duties as set
      out
      from time to time from the Company.

    

     

    POSITION: DIRECTOR

    

     

    RESPONSIBILITIES: 

    Directors
      are responsible to act honestly and in good faith for the company and its
      shareholders. Directors must act sincere in what they consider is in the
      interests of the company.

    

    DUTIES:
      

     

    The
      duties of the directors are several (as opposed to the exercise by the directors
      of their powers, which must be done jointly); and the duties are owed to the
      company itself, and not to any other entity. 

     

     

    The
      specific duties are as follows:

     

     

    (i)
       
      To
      understand the company’s business model, follow the corporate developments and
      contribute to the benefit of the company when able.

     

     

    (ii)
      Represent the company as a member of the board, and act as a spokesperson.
      

     

     

    (iii)
      To
      make best efforts to attend board meetings and special events in person or
      via
      teleconference. 

     

     

    (iv)
      Be
      available to participate in and take responsibility with other staff and other
      board members as partners for making decisions on issues, policies and other
      board matters towards bettering the company and achievement of goals.
