      and/or the Company’s actions in connection with the transactions and/or

      with third parties, with respect to the financial affairs, operations,
      profitability and strategic planning of the Company, will be in accordance
      with information provided to it by the Company. The Consultant, but not
      the Chief Financial Officer, may rely upon the accuracy of the information
      provided by the Company without independent investigation. Consultant
      represents that it is not required to maintain any licenses and
      registrations under federal or any state regulations necessary to perform
      the Services set forth herein. Consultant acknowledges that to the best of
      its knowledge, the performance of the Services will not violate any rule
      or provision of any regulatory agency having jurisdiction over Consultant.

      Contractor. Consultant’s engagement (including without limitation
      that of the Chief Financial Officer) pursuant to this Agreement shall be

      represent or hold itself out to be the employer or employee of the other.
      Consultant further acknowledges the consideration provided hereinabove is
      a gross amount of consideration and that the Company will not withhold

      payments or any other payroll taxes. All such income taxes and other such

      Company shall have no responsibility or duties regarding such matters.
      Neither the Company nor the Consultant possesses the authority to bind
      each other in any agreements, without the express written consent of the
      entity to be bound.

      proceeding(s) is brought for the enforcement or interruption of the
      Agreement, or because of alleged dispute, breach, default or
      misrepresentation in connection with or related to this Agreement, the
      successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable
      attorney's' fees and other costs in connection with that action(s) or
      proceeding(s), in addition to any other relief to which they may be
      entitled.

                16.  

              	
                 Confidentiality.   Consultant
      hereby acknowledges that Consultant and its directors, officers,
      employees, agents or advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys,
      accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors) (collectively,
      “Representatives”)
      may receive Confidential Information of the Company during the performance
      of its duties under the Agreement and that Consultant and its
      Representatives shall use the Confidential Information for the purposes
      set forth in this Agreement.  Consultant agrees that it and its
      Representatives will keep the Confidential Information confidential and
      that Consultant and its Representatives will not disclose any of the
      Confidential Information except in such manner as to which the Company
      consents and Consultant  shall be responsible for any breach of
      this Agreement by any of its Representatives and agrees to take reasonable
      measures (including but not limited to court proceedings) to restrain its
      Representatives from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure of the
      Confidential Information.  The term “Confidential Information”
      means any information concerning the Company (whether prepared by the
      Company or its advisors) which is furnished to Consultant or to its
      Representatives now or in the future by or on behalf of the Company in
      accordance with the provisions of this Agreement  but does not
      include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the
      public other than as a result of a disclosure by Consultant or its
      Representatives in violation of this Agreement, (ii) was within
      Consultant’s possession prior to its being furnished to Consultant by or
      on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto or (iii) becomes available to
      Consultant on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the
      Company or any of its Representatives, provided that such source is not
      bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or
      fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any other party
      with respect to such information.  In the event that Consultant
      or any of  its Representatives are requested or required (by
      oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in
      legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar
      process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, Consultant shall
      provide the Company with written notice of any such request or requirement
      so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate
      remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this
      Agreement.  If, in the absence of a protective order or other
      remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Company, Consultant or any of its
      Representatives are nonetheless, legally required to disclose Confidential
      Information  to any tribunal, Consultant or its Representative
      may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such tribunal that portion
      of the Confidential Information which counsel advises Consultant is
      legally required to be disclosed.

              

      

       

      
        	
                17.  

              	
                Acknowlegement.  Consultant
      acknowledge that it is aware that the United States securities laws
      restrict, under certain circumstances, persons who have material,
      non-public information of the Company from selling purchasing or
      securities of the Company or from communicating such information to any
      other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable
      that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities of the
      Company.  Consultant consents that Consultant and its employees,
      affiliates and other representatives will not violate any provisions of
      the aforementioned laws or the analogous laws of any state or other
      jurisdiction.
