Likewise, each representation and warranty set forth in this Agreement will be given independent effect so that if a particular representation or warranty proves to be incorrect or is breached, the fact that another representation or warranty concerning the same or similar subject matter is correct or is not breached will not affect the incorrectness or breach of the initial representation or warranty.

Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person other than the signatories thereto any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.  No Party will assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other person without the prior written consent of the Parties to this Agreement and any such attempted or purported assignment will be null and void; provided, however, that the Company may without consent, assign all or part of its rights under this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates or any person providing funded debt to the Company or any of its affiliates.

	
     10.  Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the exhibits to this Agreement set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and supersede all prior contracts, term sheets, letters of intent, exclusivity agreements, and other arrangements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

	
     11. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, superseded or canceled, and any of its provisions may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by the Parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance.  The failure of any party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement will in no manner affect the right of that party at a later time to enforce the same or a different provision.  No waiver by any party of any condition or the breach of any provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, will be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of the same or any other breach or provision of this Agreement.

	
     12. Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Nevada as applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of Nevada, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

     3. OPTIONS. The committee may from time to time grant options; provided, however, that all such options shall be subject to the following conditions: (a) that the purchase price of the shares of stock shall be 100% of the fair market price of the stock on the date that the options are granted, (b) the stock option shall be exercised no later than twelve months after issuance, (c) in the event of the termination of the employee due to death or disability, that the option may be exercised no more than six months after the date of death or disability, (d) in the event of the termination of the employee for any other reason, that no option may be exercised more than three months from the date of such termination, (e) the aggregate fair market value of the options granted herein shall not exceed $400,000 per fiscal year; however, any sums not used shall carry forward to subsequent fiscal years, and the value of the options granted shall be determined as of the date that each option is granted, and (f) adopt and enforce such other regulations or policies as may be required for the options to qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code.

          3.2. The ESOP committee may grant new options to an employee who has previously received options.

In addition, the ESOP committee, may at its discretion employ such legal or accounting experts as it may determine necessary or useful and obtain such opinions as it may deem fit. The corporation shall not be required to fulfill any option when in the opinion of its counsel, which shall be final, the fulfillment of the same shall violate any regulations or laws applicable to such transactions by any state or the federal government or other authority.

	
          3.5. If the corporation is recapitalized, such as by a stock split, reorganization, reclassification or other forms of capital adjustments, the committee shall have the right to make equitable adjustments to the options, which determination shall be final.

     5. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.  The plan may be amended or discontinued by the Board of Directors at any time. The following amendments shall require the approval by the majority of shareholders: (a) the change in the maximum number of shares of common stock, which may be sold under the plan (except for those related to recapitalization as described above), and (b) the requirements for eligibility in the plan or the benefits accruing to the beneficiaries under the plan.
