     8.   Non-Circumvention  and Remedy.  Company and Consultant expressly agree

arranged  by  Consultant  under this  Agreement  and  Company  shall  remunerate
Consultant as specified above. If Company breaches any term of this Agreement or
violates any of his obligations  under this Agreement,  e.g. any compensation or
fee payments or the  Non-Circumvention  clause or the Confidentiality  clause or
any other term,  Consultant  may seek all  remedies  and  appropriate  equitable
relief  allowed by law,  and  Consultant  shall be entitled to a legal  monetary
penalty and equitable  remedies equal to the maximum fees allowed by a competent
court,  at law or in  equity,  including  all  legal  and  other  expenses,  and
Consultant  may also, at its option,  terminate or suspend all  performances  or
services  remaining to be rendered by Consultant  under this  Agreement  without
being  obligated  to pay back or  reimburse  any  compensation  or fee  payments
previously received by Consultant under this Agreement.

     10.  Exclusivity and Confidentiality.  The services of Consultant hereunder

different  services  for  other  persons  or  entities  whether  or not they are

secret and confidential.  All such confidential  information  provided to either
one party by the other shall be clearly and  conspicuously  marked with the word
"Confidential."  Consultant  may  disclose  Company's  confidential  information
pursuant  to  applicable  laws or  regulations,  provided  that  Consultant  may
disclose  only  information  required for services and  performances  hereunder.
Furthermore Company acknowledges and agrees that the existence of this Agreement
or  the  Agreement  itself,  including  single  paragraphs,  terms,  provisions,
conditions and/or any other section of the Agreement,  shall not be, directly or
indirectly, in total or in parts, disclosed to any third party without the prior
express written consent of Consultant.

     11.  Indemnification and  Representation.  Company agrees to save harmless,
indemnify and defend  Consultant,  its agents and employees from and against any
cost,  loss,  damage,  liability,  judgment  and expense  whatsoever,  including
attorney's fees,  suffered or incurred by it by reason of, or on account of, any
misrepresentation  made to it or its status or activities  as  Consultant  under
this Agreement.  Company hereby represents and warrants to Consultant that it is
duly  organized and in good  standing  under State Law and under Federal Law, is
current in its filings and disclosures  with the appropriate  regulatory  bodies
and has all requisite  power and authority to carry on business as now conducted
and as contemplated herein.

     12.  Miscellaneous.  No waiver of any of the  provisions of this  Agreement
shall be deemed or shall  constitute  a waiver  of any  other  provision  and no
waiver shall constitute a continuing  waiver.  No waiver shall be binding unless
executed in writing by the party making the waiver. No supplement, modification,
or amendment of this Agreement  shall be binding  unless  executed in writing by
all parties. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
and  supersedes  any prior  agreements or  negotiations.  This Agreement may, if
required, be signed in counterparts,  or by facsimile. Neither party assumes any
responsibilities or obligation  whatsoever,  other than the responsibilities and
obligations  expressly  set  forth  in  this  Agreement  or a  separate  written
agreement  between Company and  Consultant.  Neither party shall be liable under
the  provisions of this  Agreement  for damages on account of accidents,  fires,
acts of God,  government  actions,  state of war, or any other causes beyond the
control of the party whether or not similar to those enumerated. In the event of
a  conflict  between  this  Agreement  and any  future  agreements  executed  in
connection  herewith,  the provisions of this Agreement shall generally prevail.
It is  acknowledged  and  agreed by  Company  and  Consultant  that  should  any
provision  of this  Agreement  be  declared  or be  determined  to be illegal or
invalid  by final  determination  of any court of  competent  jurisdiction,  the
validity of the remaining parts, terms or provisions of this Agreement shall not
be affected thereby, and the illegal or invalid part, term or provision shall be
deemed  not to be a part of this  Agreement.  This  Agreement  is subject to all
