                           2. MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

     2.01 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the shareholders of the
corporation shall be held each calendar year on such date and at such time as
shall be designated from time to time by the board of directors and stated in
the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice of such

     2.02 Notice of Annual Meetings. Unless notice is waived by the
shareholders, the secretary shall mail, in the manner provided in Section 2.05
of these bylaws, or deliver a written or printed notice of each annual meeting

telegram, at least ten and not more than sixty days before the date of such
meeting.

     2.03 Place of Meeting. The board of directors may designate any place
either within or without the State of Nevada as the place of meeting for any
annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the board of directors. A

     2.05 Notice of Meetings. Unless waived by the shareholders, written or
printed notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in case of a
special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall
be delivered not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the
meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the president
or the secretary to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.
If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the
United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on
the records of the corporation, with postage prepaid. Notwithstanding the above,
if either notice of two consecutive annual meetings and notices of all meetings
and actions taken by shareholder the interim or two payments of -dividends or
interest on securities sent by first class mail during a twelve month period are
returned as undeliverable, the giving of further notices is not required. In
that event, any action taken without notice to the shareholder shall be deemed
to have been taken with notice to the shareholder.

     Any shareholder may at any time, by a duly signed statement in writing to
that effect, waive any statutory or other notice of any meeting, whether such
statement be signed before or after such meeting.

     2.06 Meeting Without Notice. If all the shareholders shall meet at any time
and place, either within or without the State of Nevada, and consent to the
holding of the meeting at such time and place, such meeting shall be valid
without call or notice and at such meeting any corporate action may be taken.

     2.07 Quorum and Shareholder Acts. At all shareholders' meetings, the
presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
stock entitled to vote shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business, but a lesser number may adjourn to some future time not
less than seven nor more than twenty-one (21) days later, and the secretary
shall thereupon give at least three days notice by mail to each share-holder
entitled to vote who is absent from such meeting. Except where a higher
percentage is expressly required by the bylaws or by law, an act of the holders
of the majority of voting shares that are present at a meeting is an act of the
shareholders.

     2.08 Mode of Voting. At all meetings of the share-holders the voting may be
voice vote, but any qualified voter may demand a stock vote whereupon such stock
vote shall be taken by ballot, each of which shall state the name of the
shareholder voting and the number of shares voted by him and, if such ballot be
cast by proxy, it shall also state the name of such proxy; provided, however,
that the mode of voting prescribed by statute for any particular case shall be
in such case followed.

     2.09 Proxies. At any meeting of the shareholders, any shareholder may be
represented and vote by a proxy or proxies appointed by an instrument in
writing. Execution may be accomplished by the signing of the writing by the
shareholder or other persons authorized to sign on his behalf, or by causing the
signature of the shareholder to be made by any reasonable means including, but
not limited to, a facsimile signature. In the event any such instrument in
writing shall designate two or more persons to act as proxies, a majority of
such persons present at the meeting, or, if only one shall be present, then that
one shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred by such written
instrument upon all of the persons so designated unless the instrument shall
otherwise provide. Additionally, a shareholder may designate a proxy by
transmission of a telegram or cablegram that sets forth sufficient information
to determine that the transmission was authorized by the shareholder. No such
proxy shall be valid after the expiration of six months from the date of its
execution, unless coupled with an interest, or unless the person executing it
specified therein the length of time for which it is to continue in force, which
in no case shall exceed seven years from the date of its execution. Subject to
the above, any proxy duly executed is not revoked and continues in full force
and effect until an instrument revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a
later date is filed with the secretary of the corporation. At no time shall any
proxy be valid which shall be filed less than ten hours before the commencement
of the meeting.

     2.10 Voting Lists. The officer or agent in charge of the transfer books for
shares of the corporation shall make, at least three days before each meeting of
shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such
meeting, arranged in alphabetical order with the number of shares held by each,
which list for a period of two days prior to such meeting shall be kept on file
at the registered office of the corporation and shall be subject to inspection
by any shareholder at any time during the whole time of the meeting. The
original share ledger or transfer book, or duplicate thereof, kept in this
state, shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to
examine such list or share ledger or transfer book or to vote at any meeting of
shareholders.

     2.11 Closing Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of
determining shareholders entitled to notice or to vote for any meeting of
shareholders, the board of directors of the corporation may provide that the
stock transfer books be closed for a stated period but not to exceed in any case
sixty (60) days before such determination. If the stock transfer books be closed
for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting of
shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least fifteen days immediately
preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the board
of directors may fix, in advance, a date in any case to be not more than sixty
(60) days, nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the particular
action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken. If the
stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for
determination of shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting of shareholders,
or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date of which
notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the board
of directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be
the record date for such determinations of shareholders.

such provisions, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine.

     Shares standing in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his
administrator or executor, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the
name of a guardian, conservator or trustee may be voted by such fiduciary either
in person or by proxy, but no guardian, conservator, or trustee shall be
entitled, as such fiduciary, to vote shares held by him without a transfer of
such shares into his name.

     Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver,
and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such
receiver without the transfer thereof into his name if authority so to do be
contained in an appropriate order of the court at which such receiver was
appointed.

     A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such
shares until shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and
thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

     Shares of its own stock belonging to this corporation shall not be voted,
directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining
the total number of outstanding shares at any time, but shares of its own stock
held by it in a fiduciary capacity may be voted and shall be counted in
determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

At each election of directors, every shareholder entitled to vote at such
election shall have the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of
shares owned by him for as many persons as there are directors to be elected and
for whose election he has a right to vote. A shareholder does not have a right
to cumulate his vote for any one director. A shareholder may only cast a vote
for each director to be elected which does not exceed the number of shares owned
by that shareholder. Directors of this corporation shall not be elected
otherwise.

     2.15 Attendance by Conference Call. Shareholders may participate in a
meeting of shareholders by means of a telephone conference or similar method of

other. Attendance by this method shall constitute presence in person at the

notice thereof, except as expressly provided by the laws of Nevada.

discretion, think proper as a reserve fund to meet contingencies, or for
equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the
corporation, or for any such other purpose as the directors shall think
conducive to the interest of the corporation, and the directors may modify or
abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by, and duly executed
and delivered on behalf of, the Buyer. This Agreement and each of the other
Transaction Documents constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Buyer
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by: (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other similar laws in effect that limit creditors' rights generally; (ii)
equitable limitations on the availability of specific remedies; and (iii)
principles of equity.

                                       3
<PAGE>

     3.3 Securities Matters. In connection with the Company's compliance with
applicable securities laws:

          a. The Buyer understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to
     it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements
     of United States and state securities laws and that the Company is relying
     upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Buyer's compliance with, the
     representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
     of the Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of
     such exemption and the eligibility of the Buyer to acquire the Shares.

          b. The Buyer is purchasing the Shares for its own account, not as a
     nominee or agent, for investment purposes and not with a present view
     towards resale, except pursuant to sales exempted from registration under
     the 1933 Act, or registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the
     Registration Rights Agreement.

          c. The Buyer is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in
     Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act, and has such knowledge and
     experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating
     the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares. The Buyer understands
     that its investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of risk.
     The Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any
     other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any
     recommendation or endorsement of the Shares.

     3.4 Information. The Buyer has conducted its own due diligence examination
of the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and
prospects. In connection with such investigation, Buyer and its representatives
(i) have reviewed the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K, the
Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the two most recently concluded
interim periods, the Company's proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed on April
29, 2005, the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on August 24,
2005, and the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on January 31, 2005,
March 31, 2005, and August 12, 2005 (collectively, the "2005 SEC Documents"),
and (ii) have been given an opportunity to ask questions, to the extent Buyer
considered necessary, and have received answers from, officers of the Company
concerning the business, finances and operations of the Company and information
relating to the offer and sale of the Shares.

     3.5 Restrictions on Transfer. The Buyer understands that except as provided
in the Registration Rights Agreement, the issuance of the Shares has not been
and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state
securities laws. The Buyer may be required to hold the Shares indefinitely and
the Shares may not be transferred unless (i) the Shares are sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or (ii) the Buyer shall
have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel to the effect that the
Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an
exemption from such registration, which opinion shall be reasonably acceptable
to the Company. The Buyer understands that until such time as the resale of the
Shares has been registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the
Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption
from registration, certificates evidencing the Shares may bear a restrictive
legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be
placed against transfer of the certificates evidencing such Shares):

     "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
     REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"),
     OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE
     UPON EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS. THE SECURITIES
     REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD,
     HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
     EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT AND
     APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION (AS TO
     WHICH THE ISSUER SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFIED, INCLUDING RECEIPT OF
     AN ACCEPTABLE LEGAL OPINION) FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
     SUCH LAWS."

                                    ARTICLE 4
                  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

     Except as set forth in the Company's Disclosure Schedule attached hereto,
the Company represents and warrants to the Buyer that:

     4.1 Organization and Qualification. The Company has no subsidiaries other
than the Subsidiaries. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is a
corporation, limited partnership, limited liability company, unlimited liability
company or joint venture, as applicable, duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or
organized, with corporate or limited partnership power and authority to own,
lease, use and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now
operated and conducted. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation or limited partnership to do business and is
in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or use of property
or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would
not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in
violation of any provision of its respective certificate or articles of
incorporation, partnership agreement, bylaws or other organizational or charter
documents, as the same may have been amended.

     4.2 Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has all requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and each of the
other Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby and to issue the Shares, in accordance with the terms hereof
and thereof. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including without limitation, the
issuance of the Shares) have been duly authorized by the Company's Board of
Directors and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of
Directors, or its shareholders is required. This Agreement and each of the other
Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company. This
Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents will constitute upon
execution and delivery by the Company, a legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by: (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws in effect that limit creditors'
rights generally; (ii) equitable limitations on the availability of specific
remedies; (iii) principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in law or in equity); and (iv) to the extent rights
to indemnification and contribution may be limited by federal securities laws or
the public policy underlying such laws.

     4.3 Capitalization; Valid Issuance of Shares. As of the date hereof, the
authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 75,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, of which 23,966,283 shares are issued and outstanding, and 652,377 shares

to the Company's knowledge, there are no agreements between the Company's
shareholders with respect to the voting or transfer of the Company's capital

in a violation of any provision of the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, of the Company or the bylaws, as amended, of the Company, (ii) violate
or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a

patent license or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is
a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any Legal Requirement (including

therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than
exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter

the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC
Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the

promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC
Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          b. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may
be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or
(ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not
include footnotes, year end adjustments or may be condensed or summary
statements) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated
financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the
dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows

statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents, the Company has no
liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the
ordinary course of business subsequent to December 31, 2004, and (ii)
obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of
business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be
reflected in such financial statements, which, individually or taken in the
aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          c. The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the 1934 Act). Such
disclosure controls and procedures: (A) are designed to ensure that material
information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries is made known the
Company's chief executive officer and its chief financial officer by others
within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the Company's
reports and filings under the 1934 Act are being prepared, (B) have been
evaluated for effectiveness as of the end of the most recent annual period
reported to the SEC, and (C) are effective to perform the functions for which
they were established.

     4.6 Absence of Certain Changes. Except with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and by each of the other Transaction Documents and except as
disclosed in the 2005 SEC Documents or in Schedule 4.6, since December 31, 2004,
(i) the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has conducted its business only in
the ordinary course, consistent with past practice, and since that date, no
changes have occurred which would reasonably be expected to have a Material

                                       7
<PAGE>

past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected on the Company's
financial statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be disclosed in filings
made with the SEC.

of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, overtly threatened against or
affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that (i) adversely affects or
challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of the Agreement, or (ii)
would, if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries,
nor any director or officer thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has
been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability
under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty.
There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending
any investigation by the SEC involving the Company or any current or former
director or officer of the Company (in his or her capacity as such). The SEC has
not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any
registration statement filed by the Company under the 1934 Act or the 1933 Act.

     4.8 Patents, Copyrights. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns or
possesses the requisite licenses or rights to use all patents, patent
applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade secrets, copyrights,
trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service names, trade names
and copyrights ("Intellectual Property") necessary to enable it to conduct its
business as now operated (and, to the Company's knowledge, as presently
contemplated to be operated in the future); there is no claim or Action by any
person pertaining to, or proceeding pending, or to the Company's knowledge
threatened, which challenges the right of the Company or of a Subsidiary with
respect to any Intellectual Property necessary to enable it to conduct its
business as now operated and to the Company's knowledge, the Company's or its
Subsidiaries' current products and processes do not infringe on any Intellectual
Property or other rights held by any person, except where any such infringement
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.9 Tax Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed
all federal, state and foreign income and all other tax returns, reports and
declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and
only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside
on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and
unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and
charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such
returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith
and has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of
all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports
or declarations apply. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.9, there are no unpaid
taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any
jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such
claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to the statute of
limitations relating to the assessment or collection of any foreign, federal,
state or local tax.

     4.10 Permits; Compliance.

          a. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in possession of all
franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, variances,
exemptions, consents, certificates, approvals and orders necessary to own, lease
and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being
conducted (collectively, "Permits"), except where the failure to have any such
Permit would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, and there is no Action
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened regarding suspension or

                                       8
<PAGE>

cancellation of any of the Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the
Permits, except for any such conflicts, defaults or violations which,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          b. Since December 31, 2004, except as set forth in any 2005 SEC
Document and except with respect to comments received from the SEC to the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2004,
which are described on Schedule 4.10 hereto, no event has occurred or, to the
knowledge of the Company, circumstance exists that (with or without notice or
lapse of time): (a) may constitute or result in a violation by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, or a failure on the part of the Company or its
Subsidiaries to comply with, any Legal Requirement; or (b) may give rise to any
obligation on the part of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to undertake,
or to bear all or any portion of the cost of, any remedial action of any nature
in connection with a failure to comply with any Legal Requirement, except in
either case that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice
or other communication from any regulatory authority or any other person, nor
does the Company have any knowledge regarding: (x) any actual, alleged, possible
or potential violation of, or failure to comply with, any Legal Requirement, or
(y) any actual, alleged, possible or potential obligation on the part of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries to undertake, or to bear all or any portion
of the cost of, any remedial action of any nature in connection with a failure
to comply with any Legal Requirement, except in either case that would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          c. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with the
provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder that are applicable to it and has taken reasonable steps
such that the Company expects to be in a position to comply with the
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder at such time as Section 404 becomes
applicable to the Company.

          d. The Company is, and has reason to believe that for the foreseeable
future it will continue to be, in compliance with all applicable rules of the
American Stock Exchange, including all listing and corporate governance
requirements. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.10, the Company has not, at any
time since December 31, 2004, received notice from the American Stock Exchange
that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements thereof. The issuance and sale of the Shares under the Agreement
does not contravene the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange,
and no approval of the shareholders of the Company thereunder is required for
the Company to issue the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement.

alleged violation of Environmental Laws, or any liabilities or potential

accordance with their respective terms, except as would not have a Material

                                    ARTICLE 8
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

     8.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify the
Buyer and its affiliates and hold the Buyer and its affiliates harmless from and
against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of the
Buyer's counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial
proceeding), which may be incurred by the Buyer or such affiliates as a result
of any claims made against the Buyer or such affiliates by any person that
relate to or arise out of (i) any breach by the Company of any of its
representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or in the
Transaction Documents (other than the Registration Rights Agreement, which
contains separate indemnification provisions), or (ii) any litigation,
investigation or proceeding instituted by any person with respect to this
Agreement or the Shares (excluding, however, any such litigation, investigation
or proceeding which arises solely from the acts or omissions of the Buyer or its
affiliates).

     8.2 Notification. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i)
give prompt notice to the Company of any claim with respect to which it seeks
indemnification (but omission of such notice shall not relieve the Company from
liability hereunder except to the extent it is actually prejudiced by such
failure to give notice) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable
judgment a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the
Company with respect to such claim, permit the Company to assume the defense of
such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If
such defense is not assumed by the Company, the Company will not be subject to

                                       14
<PAGE>

any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will
not be unreasonably withheld). The Company will not consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party
of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation. If the Company elects not to or is not entitled to assume the
defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of
more than one counsel for all parties indemnified with respect to such claim,
unless an actual conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and
any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event
the Company will be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional
counsel or counsels.

                                    ARTICLE 9
                          GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS

     9.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be enforced, governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to
agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard
to the principles of conflict of laws. The parties hereto hereby submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the United States Federal Courts located in Houston,
Texas with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement, the agreements
entered into in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby. All parties irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such suit or proceeding. All parties further agree that
service of process upon a party mailed by first class mail shall be deemed in
every respect effective service of process upon the party in any such suit or
proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect any party's right to serve process in
any other manner permitted by law. All parties agree that a final non-appealable
judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner.
The party which does not prevail in any dispute arising under this Agreement
shall be responsible for all fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees,
incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such dispute.

     9.2 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of
which shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other
party. This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other
party hereto by electronic transmission of a copy of this Agreement bearing the
signature of the party so delivering this Agreement.

     9.3 Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.

     9.4 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is
invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such
provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict
therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute or rule of
law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

     9.5 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the instruments
referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect
to the matters covered herein and therein. No provision of this Agreement may be
waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged
with enforcement. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended only by a
written instrument signed by the Company and the Buyer.

statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided,
however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the
Buyer, to make any press release with respect to such transactions as is
required by applicable law and regulations (although the Buyer shall be
consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release prior to its

remedies of the parties shall be considered cumulative with and in addition to
any other rights, powers and remedies which such parties may have at law or in
equity in the event of the breach of any of the terms of this Agreement. The
exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy shall neither
constitute the exclusive election thereof nor the waiver of any other right,
power or remedy available to such party.

performed following the Closing Date, shall survive the Closing Date. Without
limitation of the foregoing, the respective representations and warranties given
