        commissions).  In addition, for a period of five (5) years from Closing,
        upon the written demand of holder(s) representing a majority of the Gilford
        shares, the Company agrees, on one occasion, commencing 9 months after the
        Closing, to promptly register the underlying securities at the expense of
        the
        Company (excluding fees and expenses of the holder’s counsel and any
        underwriting or selling commissions).  In addition, for a period of five
        (5) years from such date, upon the written demand of any holder, the Company
        agrees to promptly register the underlying securities at the expense of such
        holder.

      date of the increase; and any order or portion thereof to be shipped after
      the
      effective date of the increase regardless of the date the order was received;
      provided, however, that any order or portion thereof transmitted by DOT VN
      prior
      to E-Band's announcement of the increase and affected thereby, may be cancelled

      inventory that are still new as of the effective date of the decrease, and
      that
      had been shipped to DOT VN no more than ninety (90) days prior to such effective
      date. For each unit of product as to which this section applies, DOT VN will
      receive a credit against the price of a subsequent unit purchased from E-Band

    FORCE
      MAJEURE

    

    12.1
      Definition.
      Force Majeure shall mean any event or condition, not existing as of the date
      of
      signature of this Agreement, not reasonably foreseeable as of such date and
      not
      reasonably within the control of either party, which prevents in whole or in
      material part, the performance by one of the parties of its obligations
      hereunder or which renders such obligations so difficult or costly as to make
      such performance commercially unreasonable. Without limiting the foregoing,
      the
      following shall constitute events or conditions of Force Majeure: acts of State
      or governmental action, riots, disturbance, war, strikes, terrorism, lockouts,
      slowdowns, prolongs shortage of energy supplies, epidemics, fire, flood,
      hurricane, typhoon, earthquake, lightning and explosion. It is in particular
      expressly agreed that any refusal or failure of any governmental authority
      to
      grant any export license legally required for the fulfillment by E-Band of
      its
      obligations hereunder shall constitute an event of Force Majeure.

    

    12.2
      Notice.
      Upon giving notice to the other party, a party affected by an event of Force
      Majeure shall be released without any liability on its part from the performance
      of obligations under this Agreement, except for the obligation to pay any
      amounts due and owing hereunder, but only to the extent and only for the period
      that its performance of such obligations is prevented by the event of Force
      Majeure. Such notice shall include a description of the event of Force Majeure,
      and its cause and possible consequences. The party claim Force Majeure shall
      promptly notify the other party of the termination of such event.

    

    12.3
      Suspension
      of Performance.
      During the period that the performance by one of the parties of its obligations
      under this Agreement has been suspended by reason of an event of Force Majeure,
      the other party may likewise suspend the performance of all or part of its
      obligations hereunder to the extent that such suspension is commercially
      reasonable.

    

    12.4
      Termination.
      Should the period of Force Majeure continue for more than six (6) consecutive
      months, either party may terminate this Agreement without liability to the
      other
      party except for payments due to such date, upon giving written notice to the
      other party.

    MISCELLANEOUS

    

    14.1
      Relationship.
      This Agreement does not make either party the employee, agent or legal
      representative of the other for any purpose whatsoever. Neither party is granted
      any right or authority to assume or to create any obligation or responsibility,
      express or implied, on behalf of or in the name of the other party. In
      fulfilling its obligations pursuant to this Agreement each party shall be acting
      as an independent contractor. Any
      place or places of business maintained by DOT VN in connection with the
      performance of this Agreement shall be maintained at DOT VN’s own name. DOT VN
      agrees to indemnify, defend and hold E-BAND harmless from any and all claims
      against E-BAND from DOT VN’s acts or failure to act when required to do
      so.

    14.2
      Assignment.
      Neither party shall have the right to assign or to otherwise transfer its rights
      and obligations under this Agreement except with the prior written consent
      of
      the other party. Further any successor in interest by merger, operation of
      law,
      assignment, purchase or otherwise of the entire party shall acquire all rights
      and obligations of such party hereunder. Any prohibited assignment shall be
      null
      and void. However, this term shall not be construed to limit DOT VN’s ability to
      enter into any partnerships, agreements or subcontracting relationships as
      DOT
      VN may deem necessary, in its sole discretion, to conduct business within the
      Territory. If such other party consents as stated above,any potential assignee
      must agree to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. "Assignment"
      shall be deemed to include the transfer of substantially all the assets of,
      or
      majority interest in the voting stock of, either party, or the merger of either
      party with one or more third parties.

    

    14.3
      Disputes.
      In the event of any dispute, the parties respective decision makers agree to
      meet within ten (10) business days and in good faith seek an informal resolution
      of the disputed issue. If no resolution is reached, the parties agree to submit
      any claim, dispute or controversy (“Claim”) against the other, or against the
      employees, agents or assigns of the other, arising from or relating in any
      way
      to this Agreement, including Claims regarding the applicability of this
      arbitration clause or the validity of the entire Agreement, to binding
      arbitration to be administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Rules, unless
      the
      parties otherwise agree. The sole arbitrator shall have the power to determine
      issues of arbitrability, and shall apply the laws of the State of California,
      except for, and limited only to claims or issues where California law is
      preempted by federal statute. All other issues shall be governed by applicable
      California law, excluding the Convention on Contracts for the International
      Sale
      of Goods and that body of law known as conflicts of laws.. If the parties cannot
      agree on a single arbitrator, a panel of 3 arbitrators shall be employed, the
      parties each selecting one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected
      shall
      choose a third “independent” arbitrator. All arbitrators must either be licensed
      attorneys or retired judges. The parties shall have right to full discovery
      to
      the extent permitted by the California Code of Civil Procedure and California
      Rules of Court applicable to judicial arbitrations. The arbitrator(s) shall
      be
      empowered to appoint experts and/or consultants, resolve discovery disputes
      grant equitable relief, compensatory and punitive damages, and grant any relief
      a party could obtain in an action initiated in the a California Superior Court,
      proceed ex-parte should one party fail to appear, and grant any other type
      of
      relief appropriate to the particular circumstances. The arbitrator shall have
      the power to award the prevailing party its litigation expenses including
      reasonable attorneys fees and costs, and expert witness fees. The hearing shall
      take place within 6 months of submission to arbitration. No pre-hearing motions
      may be filed, other than with respect to requests for injunctive relief and
      discovery disputes. The arbitration hearing will be held in San Diego,
      California. Judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
      The
      parties agree that all proceedings are confidential until 30 days after the
      award is made. In the event the losing party fully complies with all aspects
      of
      any adverse decision, including payment of all amounts awarded to the other
      party, the matter shall be sealed and remain confidential in perpetuity.

    

    14.4
      Amendment.

      signed by each of the parties hereto, or their respective permitted successors
      in interest. Exhibits may be updated continuously after agreement and signature
      by both parties.

     

    14.5
      Waiver.
      No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived,
      nor
      any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except
      by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. In
      addition, no such written waiver or estoppel that is in effect shall be deemed
      to be a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, shall operate
      only
      as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver
      as
      to any act other than that specifically waived or as to any term, condition
      or
      obligation that comes into effect subsequent to the written waiver.

    14.6
      Agreement
      in Counterparts.
      This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which thus executed
      shall be deemed an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute
      one and the same agreement, binding upon the parties hereto, their
      administrators, successors and permitted assigns.

     

    14.7
      Severability.

      determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
      then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect between the parties
      to
      the greatest extent permitted by law unless the invalidity or unenforceability
      of such provision or provisions destroys or materially impairs the basis of
      the
      bargain between the parties as contained in this Agreement.
