REVOCABLE LICENSE AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as "Agreement") is made and entered into this 17th day of August, 2004, by and between Motion Picture Hall of Fame Foundation dba The Las Vegas Walk Of Stars (hereinafter referred to as "Licensee"), and Clark County, a political subdivision of the State of Nevada, (hereinafter referred to as "County").

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Licensee is a charitable corporation authorized to conduct business in the State of Nevada; and,

    WHEREAS, the Licensee desires to place and to maintain solid sand-blasted granite blocks (hereinafter referred to as "Star" in the singular and "Improvements" in the plural) in the County owned public sidewalks on Las Vegas Boulevard South under County jurisdiction between Sahara Avenue and Russell Road to honor prominent personalities in the entertainment, sports, literary, humanitarian, and civic fields associated with Clark County (hereinafter referred to as "Las Vegas Walk Of Star Program"); and,

WHEREAS, the placement of Improvements in County sidewalks is a substantial public benefit to the inhabitants of the County and the County desires to allow the Licensee to place, construct, and maintain such "improvements" in the County owned public sidewalks on Las Vegas Boulevard South under the County’s jurisdiction, provided that the Licensee abides by the terms and conditions set forth herein; and,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein it is mutually agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:

SECTION 1: LICENSE AND PERMIT

The County hereby grants to the Licensee, subject to the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, a revocable license (hereinafter referred to as "License") to design, construct, install, and maintain the Improvements in the County owned public sidewalks held in fee by the County or held in easement by the County, provided Licensee obtains the permission of the underlying fee holder, on Las Vegas Boulevard South between Sahara Avenue and Russell Road within the County’s jurisdiction (hereinafter referred to as County Sidewalks), provided that such Improvements are fabricated in the form and with the construction procedures detailed in Exhibit A (attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference). Said License is limited to County Sidewalks as set forth in Exhibit B. In the event that an existing agreement senior to this agreement is in effect on a County Sidewalk, the installation of an Improvement under this Agreement will require the approval of the holder of the senior agreement prior to construction.

The County hereby also issues to the Licensee, subject to the terms and conditions stated within this Agreement, a permit to maintain the Improvements located within the County Sidewalks. This permit authorizes maintenance activities only. Prior to any construction or installation activities on the County Sidewalks, including any replacements and or remodeling of the Improvements, the Licensee shall submit plans and appurtenant details to the County for approval and shall secure any other permits required by the Clark County Departments of Development Services and Business License at the Licensee’s sole cost and expense.

	 	 	Page 1 of 16 Pages
	

	 

The License and permit are subject to all outstanding superior rights of any other party to the above-mentioned County property and is made without covenants by the County of any title interest or for the quiet enjoyment of said County property.

The Licensee understands and agrees that the title to the County Sidewalks remains in the name of the County and no property rights are granted or transferred to the Licensee.

SECTION 2: DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE

The Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, furnish the labor and materials necessary to install and maintain the Improvements. All work including but not limited to installation, construction, relocation, and maintenance, is to be performed to the satisfaction of the County, as solely determined by the County and in compliance with all applicable codes, specifications, standards and rules of the County and in such a manner so as to pose no risk or undue inconvenience to the public. Prior to any construction or installation, removal, replacement, or relocation, a plan shall be submitted to the County for approval, such plan shall identify the location of each Star and any specific details of construction required to assure that the installation, removal, replacement, or relocation will not be in conflict with utilities or other uses of the County Sidewalks. The Licensee shall secure any permits required by the Clark County Department of Development Services for each Star installation. All maintenance will be performed in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the approved plans and specifically with the following additional conditions and restrictions:

 

      (a)       All Improvements shall be installed with a skid proof top surface, such top surface to be flush with the top surface of the adjacent sidewalks in a manner to preclude trip and fall accidents for pedestrians. Gravel base course compaction before installation shall meet the County standard for sidewalks in County Uniform Standard Specifications and Drawings, Section 613, and Drawing Number 234. Saw cut concrete joints will be sealed with SIKA-FLEX or approved equal. In the event that existing County Sidewalks are cracked or broken, the installation of a Star will also include the replacement of the cracked or broken portion of the public sidewalk.

(b)    Improvements will not be installed in driveways or within twenty-five feet (25’) of pedestrian bridge stairs, elevators or escalators, Citizen Area Transit Bus Stops, handicap ramps, or pedestrian crosswalks.

(c)    The Licensee shall be responsible for the cleaning of all Improvements installed in the County Sidewalks, including but not limited to at least twice a year, or as otherwise required by the County, removing any defacing marks, chewing gum, and discolorations of various sources and origins. The Licensee’s proposed cleaning schedules must be coordinated with the ongoing County Sidewalk cleaning performed by the County Public Works Maintenance Management Division. All Improvements shall be inspected as necessary for damage, chips, cracks, and other conditions that could be a threat to the public and all necessary repairs and replacements shall be performed immediately.

(d)    The Licensee shall establish an operating fund from the proceeds of its application fees and other sources of revenue from its Las Vegas Walk of Stars Program to assure that financial resources are available to provide for the continuing maintenance of the Improvements and also any relocations, adjustments, demolitions, reconstructions, reinstallations, constructions, remodelings, replacements, modifications, removals, or repairs of any of the Improvements to be provided by the Licensee at the Licensee’s cost and 

	 
	 	 	Exhibit 10.1
	 	 	Page 2 of 16 Pages
	

	 

 

expense under the terms of this Agreement. The Licensee and the County mutually agree that the County shall annually be allowed to audit the Licensee’s operating fund on each anniversary of the date of execution of this Agreement to assure that sufficient funding is available to provide for the costs of the tasks recited above. In the event that the operating fund is inadequate to provide for the Licensee’s obligations under the terms of this Agreement, the Licensee shall pay to make up the operating fund deficit. In the event that the Licensee is unable to make up the operating fund deficit, the County may at its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement and revoke this License as provided in Section 10 of this Agreement. In the event that the ownership of the Stars is dedicated to the County, the proceeds of the operating fund together with the Security Funds as set out in Section 12 shall become the property of the County.

(e)    In the event that a project for utility, street or sidewalk repair, construction, or reconstruction will result in the removal of a Star, the Licensee will be responsible for relocating the Star. The Licensee may relocate the Star to an acceptable alternative location with the approval of the County. Licensee shall be responsible for all cost and expenses associated with the removal and/or replacement of the Star. Stars must be removed within twenty (20) days of written request of the County, and/or utilities, and replaced within ten (10) days from the date of the removal. If Licensee fails to relocate a Star within the time period required, then it may be removed by the County or utility without liability to the County or utility.

(f)    The location of any Star on the County Sidewalks is subject to County approval at the County’s sole discretion, and the Licensee shall cause a professional land surveyor to identify the proposed location of each Star by its Nevada State Plane Coordinates as established in accordance with Chapter 327 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and provide this information to the County.

(g)    The Licensee shall not use or maintain the Improvements in such a manner as to damage or interfere with any existing or future water, sewer, gas, telephone, telegraph cable, or electrical, light, heat, or power lines.

(h)    The Licensee shall be solely responsible for ensuring that all Stars are installed within the County Sidewalks. All damages to privately owned property and liability caused to a private property owner by a Star’s installation on privately owned property is the sole the responsibility of the Licensee.

SECTION 3: CONDITION OF COUNTY PROPERTY OCCUPANCY

(a)    The License granted herein is subject to Licensee complying with all terms and conditions of this Agreement including but not limited to the proper maintenance of the Improvements.

(b)    The Licensee expressly acknowledges that the County reserves the right to excavate, lay, construct, erect, install, use, operate, repair, replace, remove, relocate, re-grade, widen, realign, perform civil work, or maintain the surface or subsurface improvements located or to be located within the County Sidewalks including, without limitation to, water mains, traffic signal and streetlight conduits, flood control improvements, sanitary and/or storm sewers, subways, channels, linings, viaducts, bridges, underpasses, or overpasses in the locations of the Improvements.

	 
	 	 	Exhibit 10.1
	 	 	Page 3 of 16 Pages
	

	 

(c)    The County may further develop the property over which a License is granted which may require future excavation, construction, use, repairs, re-grading, widening, realigning, maintenance, civil work, and other activities which may require Licensee, at its sole costs and expense, to adjust, demolish, reconstruct, reinstall, construct, remodel, replace, modify, remove, repair, or relocate any or all of the Improvements.

(d)    The Licensee shall not acquire or assert any vested right or interest in any of the County Sidewalks. The Licensee shall, at no cost or expense to the County or to any franchised or non-franchised public utility company or to the Clark County Water Reclamation District or to the Las Vegas Valley Water District or to any other entity governed by its County Commissioners, adjust, demolish, reconstruct, construct, remodel, repair, replace, modify, remove, or relocate any, all, or a portion of its Improvements upon written notice from the Director of Public Works and/or Director of Development Services.

(e)    In the event that the Licensee’s construction, installation, replacement, maintenance, and/or related activities of Improvements cause damage or disturbance to County Sidewalks or other property, Licensee shall immediately, at its own cost and expense and in a manner approved by the County and property owner, correct said damage or disturbance. If the repair, replacement, or other action required for correction is not completed within a reasonable time or does not meet the County’s adopted quality control standards; the County may perform the work, or have the work performed, and Licensee will pay the County for all costs incurred. Licensee agrees to pay the County for all costs and expenses incurred by the County associated therewith within thirty (30) days of receipt of a bill from the County.

(f)    The Licensee shall, within twenty (20) calendar days after receiving written notice from the County to adjust, construct, reconstruct, modify, remove, repair, replace, or relocate the Improvements and/or Stars, commence such adjustment, reconstruction, construction, modification, removal, repair, replacement, or relocation and shall, after obtaining the necessary permit(s) to do so, complete the required action at Licensee’s sole cost and expense, within ten (10) days. Licensee shall be responsible for all damages, to whomever, caused by Licensee’s failure to adjust, construct, reconstruct, remove, modify, repair, replace, or relocate any Improvements and/or Stars within the aforesaid time period. If Licensee fails to comply with this section, then the County may take the required action without liability to Licensee.

(g)    If the County requests the Licensee to permanently remove any or all portions of the Improvements, then the Licensee’s License for that portion(s) of the County Sidewalks containing such Improvements is thereby revoked.

(h)    Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, in the case of an emergency or threat to the public’s health, safety, or welfare caused by or attributed to the improvements as solely determined by the County, the Licensee hereby agrees to immediately (upon notice thereof) adjust, remove, replace, modify, repair, maintain, construct, or reconstruct said Improvements. In addition, the County at its option may, at the expense of the Licensee, adjust, remove, replace, modify, repair, construct, or reconstruct said Improvements if said Improvements or Licensee’s failure to maintain said Improvements cause or contribute to an emergency or threat to the public’s health, safety, and welfare. Licensee agrees to pay the County for all costs and expenses incurred by the County associated therewith within thirty (30) days of receipt of a bill from the County.

(i)    The Licensee hereby agrees to provide and maintain a twenty-four (24) hour contact person at a telephone number where the contact person can be reached 365 days a year.

(j)    The Licensee shall not use the County Sidewalk or maintain the Improvements in such a manner as to damage or interfere with constitutional rights of any person.

SECTION 4: SELECTION OF LOCATION AND DEDICATION OF STARS

The Licensee relies upon contributions from third persons to honor deserving personalities by placing a Star in their name on a County Sidewalk. Prior to the installation of any Star, the Licensee shall obtain a written waiver and release from any and all contributors of any rights, title, or interest in the Stars, the personalities, the public sidewalks, or the public right of way in which the Stars are located. A copy of the form of the waiver is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C and made a part of this Agreement by this reference. A copy of each waiver shall be provided to the County by the Licensee when making application for the appropriate permits for the installation of a Star. If the waiver is not obtained, at the election of the County, the Licensee may not install the Star.

The selection of honorees for a Star shall be by the Las Vegas Walk Of Stars Selection Committee pursuant to the selection criteria as provided in Exhibit D herein and made a part of this Agreement by this reference. The Selection Committee shall be made up of members with widely recognized knowledge in the entertainment, sports, literary, humanitarian, and civic areas as well as a representative appointed by the Board of County Commissioners of the County. The selection criteria will not be changed without the written approval of the County.

The Licensee shall be wholly responsible for the scheduling and arrangements for any dedication ceremonies to be held in connection with the installation of a Star and such festivities shall be wholly at the Licensee’s cost and expense. The Licensee shall acquire the appropriate special events permits for such dedication ceremonies and comply with all applicable codes and rules of the County and will provide the County notice of such scheduled events at least thirty (30) days prior to its scheduled date.

SECTION 5: LIABILITY

The Licensee or its successors, in interest as set forth in Section 13, shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the County and its officers, agents, and employees, against and from any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, whether valid or invalid, demands, cost, and expenses of whatsoever nature, including, but not limited to, court costs and attorney’s fees, which may result from the unauthorized use of the personality name, libel, slander, invasion of privacy, trespass, damages to business, loss profits, trademarks, copyrights, and/or patent infringements or violations, injury to or death of any person whomsoever, or against and from damage to or loss or destruction of property whatsoever, when such injury, death, loss, or damages due to and/or arising out of the action or inaction of the Licensee related to the Improvements and/or the installation, construction, adjustment, reconstruction, modification, removal, repair, or maintenance thereof. Licensee shall also indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the County from and against any claims, causes of action, whether valid or invalid, arising out of the County authority to grant the Licenses herein and/or enter into this Agreement and License. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The County will not be liable in any way for any damage to or destruction of Stars resulting from any cause including but not limited to County use and County activities on the County Sidewalk, the use of the County Sidewalk by the general public, or damage to or destruction of a Star by any third party.

SECTION 6: INSURANCE POLICY

The Licensee, at its own cost and expense, shall obtain and maintain Comprehensive General Liability insurance in the name of the County, its officers, employees, volunteers, and agents for the duration of this Agreement. General liability coverage must be provided either on a Commercial General Liability form or a Broad Form Comprehensive General Liability form. No exceptions to coverage provided in such forms are permitted. Policies must include, but need not be limited to, coverage for bodily injury, personal injury, Broad Form property damage, premises operations, severability of interest, products, and completed operations, and contractual and independent contractors. Licensee shall maintain at all times limits of no less than Two Million Dollars and No Cents ($2,000,000.00) aggregate and One Million Dollars and No Cents ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury (including death), personal injury, and property damage. The insurance coverage supplied by the Licensee must provide for thirty (30) days notice to the County before implementation of a proposal to suspend, avoid, cancel, or reduce in coverage or in limits, the required insurance coverage. This notice requirement does not waive the insurance requirements contained herein. Licensee shall provide County with Certificates of Insurance within ten (10) working days after the application by Licensee to the Clark County Department of Development Services for a permit under Section 1 of this Agreement and prior to any work being started or performed under the authority of this Agreement. The certificates and endorsements for any and all insurance policies required by this Agreement are to be signed by a person authorized by the insurer and licensed by the State of Nevada. The insurance obligation provided herein does not in any way limit the Licensee’s liability obligations to the County. The evidence of compliance to this insurance policy shall be the Insurance Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit E and by this reference is incorporated herein. The County shall have no obligation to maintain, repair, or replace a damaged Star the County owns and may remove a County owned Star for any reason it deems appropriate.

SECTION 7: OWNERSHIP OF STARS

The Licensee will be the owner of the Stars. However, the Licensee hereby makes an irrevocable offer to dedicate the Improvements located in the County Sidewalk to the County as a gift without any further compensation and the County may accept the dedication of the Improvements at any time during the term of this Agreement or within sixty (60) days following termination of this Agreement. The location of individual Stars will be determined with the approval of the County. In the event that the Licensee wishes to grant the ownership of any one of the Stars to be located in the County Sidewalk to the County, the Licensee must do so through a separate action to grant a gift of ownership of each Star to the Clark County Board of County Commissioners for their consideration and acceptance, once the location of the Star can be determined and adequately described as provided in Subsection 2(a) hereof. The decision to accept ownership is solely at the discretion of the Board of County Commissioners. If the County accepts ownership of one or more of the Stars, the Licensee shall transfer the Star free of liens, encumbrances, restrictions, copyrights, trademarks, and/or patents.

SECTION 8: TERM

This Agreement shall be in full force and effect from and after its date of execution; and, unless terminated, this Agreement shall continue until the County is satisfied and the obligations of the Licensee are fulfilled.

	Re:	Materials for Las Vegas Walk of Stars

Dear Mr. Manning,

The material used is of natural reddish granite. There are other colors available. The size is 36" x 36" x 2.5", as is used in many malls.

During the process of making the piece of granite look like a star, about 40% of the polish is removed in the area surrounding the star, thus leaving about 60% of the 36" x 36" surface polished.

THE LAS VEGAS WALK OF STARS PROGRAM

WAIVER OF DONOR

1.          LAS VEGAS WALK OF STARS PROGRAM Clark County, a corporation (herein "County") and LAS VEGAS WALK OF STARS (herein "LVWS") have agreed that the Contractor shall install solid sandblasted granite blocks (the "Stars") in the public right of way to honor prominent personalities associated with the Clark County. However, Clark County is concerned with liability to pedestrians and must retain the right to require proper care of the Stars and the right to require removal and/or relocation of the Stars if necessary without incurring liability to the donors. Therefore, Clark County’s approval of the Stars has been based on receiving: (a) An irrevocable offer to dedicate to Clark County as a gift all Stars installed in the public right of way, and (b) The written waiver and release of any and all donors or contributors of any rights, title, or interest in the Stars. It should be expressly understood, however, that the Stars are the property of LVWS and not the County until the offer to dedicate is accepted.

 

2.          WAIVER WITH RESPECT TO MODIFICATION OR REMOVAL The Donor, its agents, heirs, successors, and assigns hereby waive any and all rights, title, causes of action, or interest in the Star towards which the contribution was made. Donor understands that LVWS and/or the County have the right to alter, relocate, or remove the Star at any time, and Donor waives any and all causes of action, damages, rights to receive any notice and/or compensation, or to object to the alteration, relocation, removal, or destruction of the Star.

3.          INDEMNIFICATION OF DONOR LVWS agrees to indemnify the donor, its agents, heirs, successors, and assigns against and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from any and all actions, suits, claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions, or liabilities, including paying any legal costs, attorneys fees, or paying any judgment (herein "claims or liabilities") that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm, or entity arising out of, or in connection with, the negligent acts or omissions of LVWS hereunder.

4.          WAIVER OF RIGHT TO SUE Donor, its heirs, successors, and assigns hereby waive any right to sue LVWS or Clark County for breach of any written or oral representation with respect to the Walk of Stars Program including, but not limited to, the Revocable License and Maintenance Agreement, except that Donor shall not waive any right to enforce the indemnification covenant of LVWS contained in Section 3 above.

                       EXHIBIT A TO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     1. Time of Exercise of Option. Until it expires or is terminated as
provided in paragraphs 2 or 5, this Option may be exercised from time to time to
purchase shares up to the following limits:

          Years After Vesting
            Reference Date                     Percentage Exercisable
            --------------                     ----------------------

     2. Termination of Employment.

          2.1 If the Optionee's employment by the Company or any parent or
subsidiary of the Company terminates for any reason other than death, total
disability or retirement, the Option may be exercised at any time prior to the
Expiration Date or the expiration of 30 days after the date of the termination,
whichever is the shorter period, but only if and to the extent the Optionee was
entitled under paragraph 1 to exercise the Option on the date of termination.

          2.2 If the Optionee's employment by the Company or any parent or
subsidiary of the Company is terminated because of death, total disability or
retirement, the Option may be exercised at any time prior to the Expiration Date
or the expiration of 12 months after the date of termination, whichever is the
shorter period, but only if and to the extent the Optionee was entitled under
paragraph 1 to exercise the Option on the date of termination. The term "total
disability" means a mental or physical impairment which is expected to result in
death or which has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of 12
months or more and which causes the Optionee to be unable, in the opinion of the
Company and two independent physicians, to perform his or her duties as an
employee, director, officer or consultant of the Company and to be engaged in
any substantial gainful activity. Total disability shall be deemed to have
occurred on the first day after the Company and the two independent physicians
have furnished their opinion of total disability to the Company. The term
"retirement" shall mean (1) normal retirement after reaching age 65, (2) early
retirement after reaching age 55 and completing 10 years of service, or (3)
early retirement after completing 30 years of service without regard to age. If
the Optionee's employment is terminated by death, the Option shall be
exercisable only by the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under
the Option pass by the Optionee's will or by the laws of descent and
distribution of the state or country of the Optionee's domicile at the time of
death.

<PAGE>

     3. Method of Exercise of Option.

          3.1 The Option may be exercised only by notice in writing from the
Optionee to the Company of the Optionee's intention to exercise, specifying the
number of shares the Optionee desires to purchase and the date on which the
Optionee desires to complete the transaction, which may not be more than 30 days
after receipt of the notice, and, unless in the opinion of counsel for the
Company such a representation is not required to comply with the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, containing a representation that it is the Optionee's
intention to acquire the shares for investment and not with a view to
distribution. On or before the date specified for completion of the purchase,
the Optionee must have paid the Company the full purchase price in cash,
including cash that may be the proceeds of a loan from the Company, or in shares
of Class A Common Stock previously acquired by the Optionee and held for at
least six months, valued at fair market value. No shares shall be issued until
full payment therefor has been made.

          3.2 Upon notification of the amount due, if any, and prior to or
concurrently with delivery of the certificates representing the shares for which
the option was exercised, the Optionee shall pay to the Company amounts
necessary to satisfy any applicable federal, state, and local withholding tax
requirements. If additional withholding becomes required beyond any amount
deposited before delivery of the certificates, the Optionee shall pay such
amount to the Company on demand. If the Optionee fails to pay the amount
demanded, the Company shall have the right to withhold that amount from other
amounts payable by the Company to the Optionee, including salary, subject to
applicable law.

     4. Nontransferability of Option. The Option may not be assigned or
transferred by the Optionee except by will, by the laws of descent and
distribution of the state or country of his or her domicile at the time of death
or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined under the Code or
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and during the
Optionee's lifetime the Option may be exercised only by the Optionee.

     5. Changes in Capital Structure.

          5.1 If during the term of the Option the outstanding shares of Class A
Common Stock are increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of
another corporation, by reason of any reorganization, merger, consolidation,
plan of exchange, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up,
combination of shares, or dividend payable in shares, appropriate adjustment
shall be made by the Committee (as defined in the Plan) in the number and kind
of shares subject to the Option, or the unexercised portion thereof. Such
adjustments shall be made without change in the total price applicable to the
unexercised portion of the Option and with a corresponding adjustment in the
option price per share. Any such adjustment made by the Committee shall be
conclusive.

<PAGE>

          5.2 In the event of dissolution of the Company or a merger,
consolidation, or plan of exchange affecting the Company, in lieu of making any
adjustments that may be provided for above in this paragraph 5 or in lieu of
having the Option continue unchanged, the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
provide a 30-day period prior to such event during which the Option will be
exercisable for 100 percent of the shares subject to the Option and after which
the Option will terminate.

     6. Conditions on Obligations. The Company shall not be obligated to issue
shares upon exercise of the Option if the Company is advised by its legal
counsel that such issuance would violate applicable state or federal laws,
including securities laws. The Company will use its best efforts to take any
steps required by state or federal law or applicable regulations in connection
with issuance of shares upon exercise of the Option.

     7. No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall
confer upon the Optionee any right to be continued in the employment of the
Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, or to interfere in any way
with the right of the Company or any parent or subsidiary by whom the Optionee
is employed to terminate the Optionee's employment at any time, for any reason,
with or without cause, or to decrease the Optionee's compensation or benefits.

     8. Successors of Company. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company but except as
provided herein the Option may not be assigned or otherwise disposed of by the
Optionee.

     9. Notices. Any notices under this Agreement must be in writing and will be
effective when actually delivered or, if mailed, when deposited into the United
States mails, postage prepaid. Mail shall be directed to the address stated in
this Agreement or to such address as a party may certify by notice to the other
party.
