The undersigned hereby covenants and agrees, except as provided herein, not to

without the prior written consent of the Company.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the undersigned shall be permitted from time to time during the
Lockup Period, without the prior written consent of the Company, as applicable,
(i) to engage in transactions in connection with the undersigned’s participation
in the Company’s stock option plans, (ii) to transfer all or any part of the
Acquired Shares to any family member, for estate planning purposes, or to an affiliate thereof (as such term is

provided that such transferee agrees in writing
with the Company to be bound hereby, or
(iii) to participate in any transaction in which holders of the Common

exchange involving the Company, a disposition of the Common Stock in connection
with the exercise of any rights, warrants or other securities distributed to the
Company’s stockholders, or a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock, and
no transaction contemplated by the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) shall be
deemed a Prohibited Sale for purposes of this Letter Agreement.

      3. 
This Letter Agreement will become a binding agreement among the undersigned as
of the Closing Date.  In the event that no closing occurs under the
Merger Agreement, this Letter Agreement shall be null and void.  This

    4.1 
Capacity
and Enforceability.  Buyer has the legal capacity to execute
and deliver this Agreement and the documents to be executed and delivered by
Buyer at the Closing pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby. This
Agreement and all such documents constitute valid and binding agreements of
Buyer, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

     

    4.2 
Compliance.  Neither
the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby by Buyer will result in the breach of any term
or provision of, or constitute a default under, or violate any agreement,
indenture, instrument, order, law or regulation to which Buyer is a party or by
which Buyer is bound.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    4.3 
Purchase
for Investment.  Buyer is financially able to bear the economic
risks of acquiring the Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby,
and has no need for liquidity in his investment in the Shares. Buyer has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general, and with
respect to businesses of a nature similar to the business of Split-Off
Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment), so as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of, and making an informed business decision
with regard to, the acquisition of the Shares and the other transactions
contemplated hereby. Buyer is acquiring the Shares solely for his own account
and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution or
public offering thereof, within the meaning of any applicable securities laws
and regulations, unless such distribution or offering is registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption from
such registration is available. Buyer has (i) received all the information
he has deemed necessary to make an informed decision with respect to the
acquisition of the Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby;
(ii) had an opportunity to make such investigation as he has desired
pertaining to Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment) and
the acquisition of an interest therein and the other transactions contemplated
hereby, and to verify the information which is, and has been, made available to
him; and (iii) had the opportunity to ask questions of Seller concerning
Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment). Buyer acknowledges
that Buyer is a former director and officer of
Seller, and a current director and officer of Split-Off Subsidiary and, as such,
has actual knowledge of the business, operations and financial affairs of
Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment). Buyer has received
no public solicitation or advertisement with respect to the offer or sale of the
Shares. Buyer realizes that the Shares are “restricted securities” as that term
is defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act, the resale of the Shares is restricted by federal and
state securities laws and, accordingly, the Shares must be held indefinitely
unless their resale is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available for their resale. Buyer
understands that any resale of the Shares by him must be registered under the
Securities Act (and any applicable state securities law) or be effected in
circumstances that, in the opinion of counsel for Split-Off Subsidiary at the
time, create an exemption or otherwise do not require registration under the
Securities Act (or applicable state securities laws). Buyer acknowledges and
consents that certificates now or hereafter issued for the Shares will bear a
legend substantially as follows:

     

    THE
SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER
ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (THE “STATE ACTS”), HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND
QUALIFICATION UNDER THE STATE ACTS OR PURSUANT TO EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH
REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF THE
SECURITIES ACT, THE EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED BY SECTION 4(1) OF THE SECURITIES ACT
AND RULE 144 THEREUNDER). AS A PRECONDITION TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER, THE ISSUER OF
THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OPINING AS TO THE
AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION AND/OR SUCH
OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY THERETO THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT
VIOLATE THE SECURITIES LAWS.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Buyer
understands that the Shares are being sold to him pursuant to the exemption from
registration contained in Section 4(1) of the Securities Act and that Seller is
relying upon the representations made herein as one of the bases for claiming
the Section 4(1) exemption.

     

    4.4 
Liabilities.  Following

    (c) 
At all times following the Closing, Seller, Buyers and Split-Off Subsidiary
shall use their reasonable efforts to make available to the other party on
written request, the current and former officers, directors, employees and
agents of Seller or Split-Off Subsidiary for any of the purposes set forth in
Section 10.4(a) or (b) above or as
witnesses to the extent that such persons may reasonably be required in
connection with any legal, administrative or other proceedings in which Seller
or Split-Off Subsidiary may from time to be involved.

     

    (d) 
The party to whom any Information or witnesses are provided under this Section 10.4 shall reimburse
the provider thereof for all out-of-pocket expenses actually and reasonably
incurred in providing such Information or witnesses.

     

    (e) 
Seller, Buyers, Split-Off Subsidiary and their respective employees and agents
shall each hold in strict confidence all Information concerning the other party
in their possession or furnished by the other or the other’s representative
pursuant to this Agreement with the same degree of care as such party utilizes
as to such party’s own confidential information (except to the extent that such
Information is (i) in the public domain through no fault of such party or
(ii) later lawfully acquired from any other source by such party), and each
party shall not release or disclose such Information to any other person, except
such party’s auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers, other consultants
and advisors or persons with whom such party has a valid obligation to disclose
such Information, unless compelled to disclose such Information by judicial or
administrative process or, as advised by its counsel, by other requirements of
law.

     

    (f) 
Seller, Buyers and Split-Off Subsidiary shall each use their best efforts to
forward promptly to the other party all notices, claims, correspondence and
other materials which are received and determined to pertain to the other
party.

     

    10.5 
Guarantees,
Surety Bonds and Letter of Credit Obligations.  In the event
that Seller is obligated for any debts, obligations or liabilities of Split-Off
Subsidiary by virtue of any outstanding guarantee, performance or surety bond or
letter of credit provided or arranged by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date,

issued replacements of such bonds, letters of credit and guarantees and to
obtain any amendments, novations, releases and approvals necessary to release
and discharge fully Seller from any liability thereunder following the Closing.
Buyers and Split-Off Subsidiary, jointly and severally, shall be responsible
for, and shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller from and against, any

    10.6 
Filings
and Consents.  Each Buyer, at its risk, shall determine what,
if any, filings and consents must be made and/or obtained prior to Closing to
consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares. Each Buyer shall indemnify the
Seller Indemnified Parties (as defined in Section 12.1 below) against
any Losses (as defined in Section 12.1 below) incurred
by such Seller Indemnified Parties by virtue of the failure to make and/or
obtain any such filings or consents. Recognizing that the failure to make and/or
obtain any filings or consents may cause Seller to incur Losses or otherwise
adversely affect Seller, Buyers and Split-Off Subsidiary confirm that the
provisions of this Section 10.6 will not limit
Seller’s right to treat such failure as the failure of a condition precedent to
Seller’s obligation to close pursuant to Article VIII
above.

     

    10.7 
Insurance.  Each
Buyer acknowledges that on the Closing Date, effective as of the Closing, any
insurance coverage and bonds provided by Seller for Split-Off Subsidiary, and
all certificates of insurance evidencing that Split-Off Subsidiary maintains any
required insurance by virtue of insurance provided by Seller, will terminate
with respect to any insured damages resulting from matters occurring subsequent
to Closing.

     

    10.8 
Agreements
Regarding Taxes.

     

    (a) 
Tax
Sharing Agreements.  Any tax sharing agreement between Seller
and Split-Off Subsidiary is terminated as of the Closing Date and will have no
further effect for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year or
a past year).

     

    (b) 
Returns
for Periods Through the Closing Date.  Seller will include the
income and loss of Split-Off Subsidiary (including any deferred income triggered
into income by Reg. §1.1502-13 and any excess loss accounts taken into income
under Reg. §1.1502-19) on Seller’s consolidated federal income tax returns for
all periods through the Closing Date and pay any federal income taxes
attributable to such income. Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary agree to allocate
income, gain, loss, deductions and credits between the period up to Closing (the
“Pre-Closing Period”) and the period after Closing (the “Post-Closing Period”)
based on a closing of the books of Split-Off Subsidiary, and both Seller and
Split-Off Subsidiary agree not to make an election under Reg.
§1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) to ratably allocate the year’s items of income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit. Seller, Split-Off Subsidiary and Buyers agree to report
all transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing
Date after Buyers’ purchase of the Shares on Split-Off Subsidiary’s tax returns
to the extent permitted by Reg. §1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B). Each Buyer agrees to
indemnify Seller for any additional tax owed by Seller (including tax owned by
Seller due to this indemnification payment) resulting from any transaction
engaged in by Split-Off Subsidiary during the Pre-Closing Period or on the
Closing Date after such Buyer’s purchase of the Shares. Split-Off Subsidiary
will furnish tax information to Seller for inclusion in Seller’s consolidated
federal income tax return for the period which includes the Closing Date in
accordance with Split-Off Subsidiary’s past custom and practice.

    (c) 
Audits.  Seller
will allow Split-Off Subsidiary and its counsel to participate at Split-Off
Subsidiary’s expense in any audits of Seller’s consolidated federal income tax
returns to the extent that such audit raises issues that relate to and increase
the tax liability of Split-Off Subsidiary. Seller shall have the absolute right,
in its sole discretion, to engage professionals and direct the representation of
Seller in connection with any such audit and the resolution thereof, without
receiving the consent of Buyers or Split-Off Subsidiary or any other party
acting on behalf of Buyers or Split-Off Subsidiary, provided that Seller will
not settle any such audit in a manner which would materially adversely affect
Split-Off Subsidiary after the Closing Date unless such settlement would be
reasonable in the case of a person that owned Split-Off Subsidiary both before
and after the Closing Date. In the event that after Closing any tax authority
informs Buyers or Split-Off Subsidiary of any notice of proposed audit, claim,
assessment or other dispute concerning an amount of taxes which pertain to
Seller, or to Split-Off Subsidiary during the period prior to Closing, Buyers or
Split-Off Subsidiary must promptly notify Seller of the same within 15 calendar
days of the date of the notice from the tax authority. In the event Buyers or
Split-Off Subsidiary do not notify Seller within such 15 day period, Buyers and
Split-Off Subsidiary, jointly and severally, will indemnify Seller for any
incremental interest, penalty or other assessments resulting from the delay in
giving notice. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency, the provisions of
this Section
10.8
shall control over the provisions of Section 12.2
below.

     

    (d) 
Cooperation
on Tax Matters.  Buyers, Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary shall
cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any party, in
connection with the filing of tax returns pursuant to this Section and any
audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to taxes. Such cooperation
shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision
of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit,
litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually
convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any
material provided hereunder. Split-Off Subsidiary shall (i) retain all
books and records with respect to tax matters pertinent to Split-Off Subsidiary
relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the
expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Seller,
any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all
record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and
(ii) give Seller reasonable written notice prior to transferring,
destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Seller so requests,
Buyers agree to cause Split-Off Subsidiary to allow Seller to take possession of
such books and records.

     

    10.9 
ERISA.  Effective
as of the Closing Date, Split-Off Subsidiary shall terminate its participation
in, and withdraw from, any employee benefit plans sponsored by Seller, and
Seller and Buyers shall cooperate fully in such termination and withdrawal.
Without limitation, Split-Off Subsidiary shall be solely responsible for
(i) all liabilities under those employee benefit plans notwithstanding any
status as an employee benefit plan sponsored by Seller, and (ii) all
liabilities for the payment of vacation pay, severance benefits, and similar
obligations, including, without limitation, amounts which are accrued but unpaid
as of the Closing Date with respect thereto. Buyers and Split-Off Subsidiary
acknowledge that Split-Off Subsidiary is solely responsible for providing
continuation health coverage, as required under the Consolidated Omnibus
Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), to each person, if any,
participating in an employee benefit plan subject to COBRA with respect to such
employee benefit plan as of the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any
person whose employment with Split-Off Subsidiary is terminated after the
Closing Date.

    XI.           TERMINATION.  This
Agreement may be terminated at, or at any time prior to, the Closing by mutual
written consent of Seller, Buyers and Nevada Gold.

     

    If this
Agreement is terminated as provided herein, it shall become wholly void and of
no further force and effect and there shall be no further liability or
obligation on the part of any party except to pay such expenses as are required
of such party.

     

    XII.          INDEMNIFICATION.

     

    12.1 
Indemnification
by Buyers.  Each Buyer covenants and agrees to indemnify,
defend, protect and hold harmless Seller and Nevada Gold, and their respective
officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, representatives and
Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) at all times from
and after the date of this Agreement from and against all losses, liabilities,
damages, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments,
costs and expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation), whether or not involving a third
party claim and regardless of any negligence of any Seller Indemnified Party
(collectively, “Losses”), incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party as a result
of or arising from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties of
such Buyer set forth herein or in certificates delivered in connection herewith,
(ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement (including
any other agreement of Buyers to indemnify set forth in this Agreement) on the
part of such Buyer under this Agreement, (iii) any Assigned Asset or
Assigned Liability or any other debt, liability or obligation of Split-Off
Subsidiary, (iv) the conduct and operations, whether before or after
Closing, of (A) the business of Seller pertaining to the Assigned Assets and
Assigned Liabilities or (B) the business of Split-Off Subsidiary,
(v) claims asserted, whether before or after Closing, (A) against Split-Off
Subsidiary or (B) pertaining to the Assigned Assets and Assigned Liabilities, or
(vi) any federal or state income tax payable by Seller or Nevada Gold and
attributable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The
obligations of Buyers under this Section, as between Buyers and the Seller
Indemnified Parties, are joint and several.

     

    12.2 
Third
Party Claims.

     

    (a) 
Defense.  If
any claim or liability (a “Third-Party Claim”) should be asserted against any of
the Seller Indemnified Parties (the “Indemnitee”) by a third party after the
Closing for which a Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of
Section 12.1, then the
Indemnitee shall notify Buyer (the “Indemnitor”) within 20 days after the
Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said notification being referred
to as a “Claim Notice”) and give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to take
part in any examination of the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to
such Third-Party Claim and to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and
in connection therewith and to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating
thereto and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the
Third-Party Claim. The expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all
negotiations, proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any
Third-Party Claim shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor agrees to
assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the
Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to
control the conduct of such defense, and any decision to settle such Third-Party
Claim, and shall be responsible for any expenses of the Indemnitee in connection
with the defense of such Third-Party Claim so long as the Indemnitor continues
such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim. The
Indemnitor shall be responsible for paying all settlements made or judgments
entered with respect to any Third-Party Claim the defense of which has been
assumed by the Indemnitors.  Except as provided on subsection (b)
below, both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee must approve any settlement of a
Third-Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnitee to timely give the Claim Notice
shall not excuse Indemnitor from any indemnification liability except only to
the extent that the Indemnitor is materially and adversely prejudiced by such
failure.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b) 
Failure
to Defend.  If the Indemnitor shall not agree to assume the
defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim
Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, or shall fail to continue
such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim, then the
Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party Claim in such manner as it may
deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party Claim, in its
sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem appropriate. The Indemnitor shall
promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all settlement payments and
expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the
defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim. If no settlement of such
Third-Party Claim is made, then the Indemnitor shall satisfy any judgment
rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim before the Indemnitee is
required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the
Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party Claim.

     

    12.3 
Non-Third-Party
Claims.  Upon discovery of any claim for which a Buyer has an
indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1 which does not
involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall
give prompt notice to Buyer of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyer
such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely
give the foregoing notice to Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from any
indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyer is materially and
adversely prejudiced by such failure.

     

    12.4

under this Article
XII
shall terminate on the third (3rd)
anniversary of the Closing Date, except with respect to (a) liability for
any item as to which, prior to the third (3rd)
anniversary of the Closing Date, any Indemnitee shall have asserted a Claim in
writing, which Claim shall identify its basis with reasonable specificity, in
which case the liability for such Claim shall continue until it shall have been
finally settled, decided or adjudicated, (b) liability of any party for
Losses for which such party has an indemnification obligation, incurred as a
result of such party’s breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by
such party after the Closing, (c) liability of a Buyer for Losses incurred

warranties in Article
IV of

party’s right to assert a Third-Party Claim bars assertion of such
claim.

no delay of or omission in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing
to any party as a result of any breach or default by any other party under this

case the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.

and the Shares (respectively), and, in the case of any contracts and rights that
cannot be effectively transferred without the consent or approval of other

that Split-Off Subsidiary receives the benefits thereof to the maximum extent
permissible in accordance with applicable law or other applicable restrictions,
and shall perform such other acts which may be reasonably necessary to
effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

if all parties had signed the same document. Each such counterpart shall be an
original, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute a single
agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with
the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page was an original
thereof.

Specific
Performance; Remedies.  Each of Seller, Buyer and Split-Off
Subsidiary acknowledges and agrees that Nevada Gold would be damaged irreparably
if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its
specific terms or is otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of Seller, Buyer and
Split-Off Subsidiary agrees that Nevada Gold will be entitled to seek an

Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its terms and
provisions in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any
state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter, subject to
Section 13.9, in addition to
any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity. Except as
expressly provided herein, the rights, obligations and remedies created by this
Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights, obligations or
remedies otherwise available at law or in equity, and nothing herein will be
considered an election of remedies. 

     

    13.14 
Submission
to Jurisdiction; Process Agent; No Jury Trial.

     

    (a) 
Each party to the Agreement hereby submits to the jurisdiction of any state or
federal court sitting in the State of New York in any action arising out of or
relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action
may be heard and determined in any such court. Each party to the Agreement also
agrees not to bring any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement in
any other court. Each party to the Agreement agrees that a final judgment in any
action so brought will be conclusive and may be enforced by action on the
judgment or in any other manner provided at law or in equity. Each party to the
Agreement waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any
action so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be
required of any other party with respect thereto.

    (b) 
EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RIGHTS TO JURY TRIAL OF
ANY DISPUTE BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS AMONG THEM
RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. The scope of this waiver is
intended to be all encompassing of any and all actions that may be filed in any
court and that relate to the subject matter of the transactions, including
contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and
statutory claims. Each party to the Agreement hereby acknowledges that this
waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship and that
they will continue to rely on the waiver in their related future dealings. Each
party to the Agreement further represents and warrants that it has reviewed this
waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly and voluntarily waives
its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. NOTWITHSTANDING
ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY
NOT BE MODIFIED ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER WILL APPLY TO ANY
AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY
OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING HERETO. In the event of commencement of
any action, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to trial by a
court.

     

    13.15 
Construction.  The
parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this
Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this
Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no
presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party
because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to
any federal, state, local or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as
amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context
requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be
deemed to be followed by “without limitation.”  The words “this
Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar
import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision
unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation,
warranty and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If
any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained
herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation,
warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the
relative levels of specificity) which that party has not breached will not
detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first
representation, warranty or covenant.
