              If
                any provision of this Agreement as applied to any party or to any
                circumstance shall be adjudged by the court of competent jurisdiction
                to
                be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any
                other
                provision of this Agreement, the application of such provision in
                any
                other circumstances, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.
                The parties agree that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable
                and

                or part
                thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration thereof,
                the
                area covered thereby, or the types of activities restricted thereby,
                all
                parties agree that a Court of competent jurisdiction making such
                determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or
                area of
                such provision or types of activities restricted and/or to delete
                specific
                words or phrases and in its reduced form such provision shall then
                be
                enforceable.

              This
                Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto
                relative to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements

                the Executive. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this
                Agreement, neither party makes any representation or warranty express

              No
                provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be waived as a result

                the failure of either of the parties to require the performance of
                any
                term or condition of this Agreement or by other course of conduct.
                To be
                effective, a waiver must be in writing, signed by each of the parties
                hereto and state specifically that it is intended to constitute a
                waiver
                of a term or breach of this Agreement. A waiver by either of the
                parties
                of any term or breach of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent
                enforcement of such term or any other term and shall not be deemed
                to be a
                waiver of any subsequent breach.

              The
                Corporation hereby engages the Consultant to provide consulting services
                with respect to
                the gaming industry and gaming software to the Corporation and the

                Canada. The Consultant shall report to the board of directors of
                the
                Corporation and to the president of
