              	3.	
                Compensation,
                  Bonus, Stock Options, Benefits,
                  etc.

              

      

       

      
        (a) Salary.
          During
          the Term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Employee, and
          the
          Employee shall accept from the Company, as compensation for the performance
          of
          services under this Agreement and the Employee's observance and performance
          of
          all of the provisions hereof, an annual salary at the rate of $250,000
          (the
          "Base Compensation"). The Base Compensation shall be payable in accordance
          with
          the normal payroll practices of the Company and shall be subject to withholding
          for applicable taxes and other amounts. The Employee’s performance and the Base
          Compensation shall be subject to annual review by the Company.

         

      

    

    (b) Bonus.
      In
      addition to the Base Compensation described above, the Employee shall, in the
      sole and absolute discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board, be
      entitled to performance bonuses, which may be based upon a variety of factors,
      including the Employee’s performance and the achievement of Company goals, all
      as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board or Compensation
      Committee of the Board. Any bonus paid to the Employee shall be subject to
      withholding for applicable taxes and other amounts. In addition, the Employee
      may be entitled to participate in such other bonus plans, whether during the
      term of this Agreement as the Compensation Committee of the Board may, in its
      sole and absolute discretion, determine. 

    

    (c) Restricted
      Stock Award.
      Effective as of the Commencement Date, the Company shall grant to Employee,
      under the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a restricted stock
      award of 75,000 shares (the "RSA" or the "RSA Shares"), which shall vest in
      full
      upon the later to occur of (i) the achievement of trailing 12-month EBITDA
      (as hereinafter defined) of $25,000,000, and (ii) the Company's common
      stock having a closing price of $15.00 for five trading days in any period
      of 10
      consecutive trading days. The "closing price" shall mean the closing price
      as
      reported on the Nasdaq Global Market or such other exchange or automated
      quotation system on which the Company's common stock is principally traded
      or
      quoted. The award shall expire if it has not vested prior to September 4, 2017,
      or if the Employee's employment with the Company is terminated, voluntarily
      or
      involuntarily, with or without cause. The Employee agrees not to sell, pledge,
      hypothecate or otherwise transfer the RSA Shares within the eighteen month
      period immediately after vesting thereof, regardless of whether the Term has
      expired; provided,
      that the
      Employee may sell up to forty (40%) percent of such vested RSA Shares to the
      extent necessary to generate cash in an amount equal to the Employee's tax
      liabilities arising on account of the vesting of the RSA Shares. The terms
      and
      provisions of the RSA shall be subject to and set forth in a restricted stock
      award agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company and consistent with the
      provisions of the Plan. In addition, the Employee may be entitled, during the
      term of this Agreement, to receive such additional awards, under the Plan or
      otherwise, on such terms as the Compensation Committee of the Board may, in
      its
      sole and absolute discretion, determine.

    For
      purposes of this Agreement, "EBITDA" shall mean earnings (excluding
      non-recurring events in the discretion of the Board of Directors) before
      interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in any four consecutive calendar
      quarters, as reflected in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Annual
      Report on Form 10-K, as applicable, commencing with the quarter beginning
      October 1, 2007. In the event of a divestiture of a business unit of the
      Company, EBITDA for any such period of four quarters that includes the date
      of
      the divestiture shall be the greater of (i) the actual EBITDA for the
      relevant four quarters, and (ii) the sum of (a) the actual EBITDA
      through the date of divestiture and (b) the actual EBITDA from the date of
      divestiture less EBITDA attributable to the divested portion of the
      business plus an amount equal to 20% of the purchase price paid to the
      Company in the divestiture.

      as
      the Company may make available to, or have in effect for, its officers from

    (a) The
      Employee represents and warrants that the Employee is not party to, or bound
      by,
      any agreement or commitment, or subject to any restriction, including but not

      any
      transaction or device that is designed to, or could reasonably be expected
      to,

      limitation the RSA Shares, owned or acquired by the Employee after the
      Commencement Date upon the conversion or exercise of options or any securities
      convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, without first
      notifying the Board in writing to inquire as to whether there exist any facts
      or
      circumstances that would make it inadvisable for the Company if the Employee
      engaged in such transaction.

    

    (c) The
      representations, warranties and covenants of this Section 4 shall survive
      termination of the Employee’s employment hereunder and the expiration of the

    (a) Confidential
      Information.
      (i) The
      Employee acknowledges that as a result of the Employee's retention by the
      Company, the Employee has and will continue to have knowledge of, and access
      to,
      proprietary and confidential information of the Company, including, without

      assets of the Company developed at great expense which is the exclusive property
      of the Company. Accordingly, the Employee shall not, at any time, either during

      any

      Company, except to responsible officers and employees of the Company and other
      responsible persons who are in a contractual or fiduciary relationship with
      the
      Company and who have a need for such Confidential Information for purposes
      in
      the best interests of the Company, and except for such Confidential Information
      which is or becomes of general public knowledge from authorized sources other
      than the Employee.

    

    (ii) The
      Employee acknowledges that the Company would not enter into this Agreement
      without the assurance that all the Confidential Information will be used for
      the
      exclusive benefit of the Company.

    (b) Return
      of Confidential Information.
      Upon
      the termination of this Agreement or upon the request of the Company, the
      Employee shall promptly return to the Company all Confidential Information
      in
      the Employee's possession or control, including but not limited to all drawings,
      manuals, computer printouts, computer databases, disks, data, files, lists,
      memoranda, letters, notes, notebooks, reports and other writings and copies
      thereof and all other materials relating to the Company’s business, including
      without limitation any materials incorporating Confidential
      Information.

    

    (c) Inventions,
      etc.
      During
      the Term and for a period of one year thereafter, the Employee will promptly
      disclose to the Company all designs, processes, inventions, improvements,
      developments, discoveries, processes, techniques, and other information related
      to the business of the Company conceived, developed, acquired, or reduced to
      practice by the Employee alone or with others during the Term of this Agreement,
      whether or not conceived during regular working hours, through the use of
      Company time, material or facilities or otherwise (“Inventions”).

    

    The
      Employee agrees that all copyrights created in conjunction with the Employee's
      service to the Company and other Inventions, are “works made for hire” (as that
      term is defined under the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended). All such
      copyrights, trademarks, and other Inventions shall be the sole and exclusive
      property of the Company, and the Company shall be the sole owner of all patents,
      copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other rights and protection in
      connection therewith. To the extent any such copyright and other Inventions
      may
      not be works for hire, the Employee hereby assigns to the Corporation any and
      all rights the Employee now has or may hereafter acquire in such copyrights
      and
      any other Inventions. Upon request the Employee shall deliver to the Company
      all
      drawings, models and other data and records relating to such copyrights,
      trademarks and Inventions. The Employee further agrees, as to all such
      Inventions, to assist the Company in every proper way (but at the Company’s
      expense) to obtain, register, and from time to time enforce patents, copyrights,
      trademarks, trade secrets, and other rights and protection relating to said
      Inventions in and all countries, and to that end the Employee shall execute
      all
      documents for use in applying for and obtaining such patents, copyrights,
      trademarks, trade secrets and other rights and protection on and enforcing
      such
      Inventions, as the Company may desire, together with any assignments thereof
      to
      the Company or persons designated by it. Such obligation to assist the Company
      shall continue beyond the termination of the Employee’s service to the Company,
      but the Company shall compensate the Employee at a reasonable rate after
      termination of service for time actually spent by the Employee at the Company’s
      request for such assistance. In the event the Company is unable, after
      reasonable effort, to secure the Employee’s signature on any document or
      documents needed to apply for or prosecute any patent, copyright, trademark,
      trade secret, or other right or protection relating to an Invention, whether
      because of the Employee’s physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason
      whatsoever, the Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company
      and the its duly authorized officers and agents as the Employee's agent coupled
      with an interest and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in the Employee's behalf
      and stead to execute and file any such application or applications and to do
      all
      other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of
      patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or similar rights or protection
      thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Employee.

    (d) Non-competition.
      The
      Employee will not utilize the Employee's special knowledge of the business
      operations of the Company or its customers, suppliers and others to compete
      with
      the Company. During the Term of this Agreement and (i) for a period of
      (A) one year after the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections
      7(a), 7(b) or 7(e) hereof, as applicable; or (B) in the event of
      termination pursuant to Section 7(c), the duration of the Severance Period
      (as
      defined in Section 7(f)); or (ii) in the event the Agreement is not
      renewed, during the Severance Period, if any; the Employee shall not engage,
      directly or indirectly, or have an interest, directly or indirectly, anywhere
      in
      the United States of America or any other geographic area where the Company
      does
      business or in which its products or services are marketed, alone or in
      association with others, as principal, officer, agent, Employee, director,
      partner or stock-holder (except with respect to the Employee's employment by
      the
      Company), or through the invest-ment of capital, lending of money or property,
      rendering of services or otherwise, in any business competitive with or
      substantially similar to that engaged in by the Company during the Term of
      this
      Agreement (it being understood hereby, that the ownership by the Employee of
      five percent (5%) or less of the stock of any company listed on a national
      securities exchange shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 5).

    

    (e) Non-solicitation.
      During
      the Term of this Agreement and (i) for a period of (A) one year after
      the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 7(a), 7(b) or 7(e)
      hereof, as applicable; or (B) in the event of termination pursuant to
      Section 7(c), the duration of the Severance Period (as defined in Section 7(f));
      or (ii) in the event the Agreement is not renewed, the Severance Period, if
      any; the Employee shall not, and shall not permit any of the Employee's
      employees, agents or others under the Employee's control to, directly or
      indirectly, on behalf of the Employee or any other person, (i) call upon,
      accept competitive business from, or solicit the competitive business of any
      individual or entity who is, or who had been at any time during the preceding
      two years, a customer of the Company or any successor to the business of the
      Company, or otherwise divert or attempt to divert any business from the Company
      or any such successor, or (ii) directly or indirectly recruit or otherwise
      solicit or induce any person who is an Employee of, or otherwise engaged by,
      the
      Company or any successor to the business of the Company to terminate such
      person's employment or other relationship with the Company or such successor,
      or
      hire or enter into any business with any person who is employed by, or who
      has
      left the employ of, or is or was otherwise engaged by the Company or any such
      successor during the preceding two years. The Employee shall not at any time,
      directly or indirectly, use or purport to authorize any person to use any name,
      mark, logo, trade dress or other identifying words or images which are the
      same
      as or similar to those used at any time by the Company in connection with any
      product or service, whether or not such use would be in a business competitive
      with that of the Company. Any breach or violation by the Employee of the
      provisions of this Section 5 shall toll the running of any time periods set
      forth in this Section 5 for the duration of any such breach or violation.

    

    (f) Non-Disparagement. The
      Employee shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, take any action (whether
      orally or in writing or otherwise) which has or may be expected to have the
      effect of disparaging the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
      or
      their directors, officers or executives or their respective reputations,
      in-cluding, but not limited to, their business models, practices, relationships,
      internal work-ings, financial condition or operations, in any manner whatsoever
      at any time.

      6.  Remedies.
        The
        restrictions set forth in Section 5 are considered by the parties to be fair
        and
        reasonable. The Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in
        Section
        5 will not prevent him from earning a livelihood. The Employee further
        acknowledges that the Company would be irreparably harmed and that monetary
        damages would not provide an adequate remedy in the event of a breach of
        the
        provisions of Section 5. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that, in addition
        to
        any other remedies available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled
        to
        injunctive and other equitable relief to secure the enforcement of these
        provisions, and shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from the Employee
        for
        all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the Company in enforcing
        these provisions. In connection with seeking any such equitable remedy,
        including, but not limited to, an injunction or specific performance, the
        Company shall not be required to post a bond as a condition to obtaining
        such
        remedy. If any provisions of Sections 5 or 6 relating to the time period,
        scope
        of activities or geographic area of restrictions is declared by a court of
        competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum permissible time period, scope
        of
        activities or geographic area, the maximum time period, scope of activities
        or
        geographic area, as the case may be, shall be reduced to the maximum which
        such
        court deems enforceable. If any provisions of Sections 5 or 6 other than
        those
        described in the preceding sentence are adjudicated to be invalid or
        unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed amended
        (with respect only to the jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made)
        in
        such manner as to render them enforceable and to effectuate as nearly as
        possible the original intentions and agreement of the parties. For purposes
        of
        this Section 6, all references to the Company shall be deemed to include
        the
        Company's affiliates and subsidiaries, whether now existing or hereafter
        established or acquired.

      7.  Termination;
        Non-renewal.
        This
        Agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration of the Term set forth
        in
        Section 1 upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in, and subject
        to
        the terms of, this Section 7.

       

      (a) Death
        or Permanent Disability.
        If
        the
        Employee dies or becomes permanently disabled, this Agreement shall terminate
        effective at the end of the calendar month during which the Employee's death
        occurs or when the Employee's disability is deemed to have become permanent.
        If
        the Employee is unable to perform the Employee's normal duties for the Company
        because of illness or incapacity (whether physical or mental) for 45 consecutive
        days during the Term of this Agreement, or for 60 days (whether or not
        consecutive) out of any calendar year during the Term of this Agreement,
        the
        Employee's disability shall be deemed to have become permanent. If this
        Agreement is terminated on account of the death or permanent dis-abi-lity
        of the
        Employee, then the Employee or its estate shall be entitled to receive accrued
        Base Compensation through the date of such termination and the Employee and
        the
        Employee’s estate shall have no further entitlement to Base Compensation, bonus,
        or benefits, except in the case of the Employee’s death, the proceeds of the
        Life Insurance, from the Company following the effective date of such
        termination.

    (b) Cause.
      This
      Agreement may be terminated at the Company’s option, immediately upon written
      notice to the Employee, upon: (i) the Employee’s commission of a
      misdemeanor or felony that, in the Board’s reasonable judgment, adversely
      affects the Company’s or any of the Company’s affiliates’ reputation, business
      or interests, or the ability of the Employee to perform the Employee's duties
      as
      an employee of the Company; (ii) the Employee’s act of fraud or dishonest
      act upon, or misappropriation of funds of, the Company or any of the Company’s
      affiliates; (iii) the Employee’s gross negligence, willful or intentional
      act or omission in the performance of the Employee's duties under this Agreement
      as determined by the Board; (iv) the Employee’s disregard of a lawful
      direction of the Board or the executive officer to whom the Employee reports;
      (v) the Employee’s appropriation for himself of a Company cor-porate
      opportunity without the express prior written consent of the Board;
      (vi) the Employee’s material breach of any of the Employee's obligations
      under this Agreement (other than Section 5 of this Agreement) that continues
      unremedied for 14 days following the Employee’s receipt of written notice from
      the Board thereof; (vii) the Employee’s breach of any of the Employee's
      obligations of any of the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement; or
      (viii) the Employee is convicted of a felony. If this Agreement is
      terminated by the Company for any of the foregoing reasons, then the Employee
      shall be entitled to receive accrued Base Compensation through the date of
      such
      termination.

    

    (c) Without
      Cause.
      This
      Agreement may be terminated, at any time by the Company without cause
      immediately upon giving written notice to the Employee of such termination
      in which case the Employee shall be entitled to received accrued Base
      Compensation through the date of such termination; provided, however, that
      the Company shall have the right, at its election if made on or before the
      time
      of termination, to continue to pay the Employee the Base Compensation for an
      additional period of up to twelve months, and if the Company so elects, the
      Employee shall be bound by the provisions of Sections 5(d) and 5(e) of this
      Agreement for such additional period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount
      shall be payable to the Employee pursuant to this Paragraph 7(c) unless
      (i) such Employee’s termination of employment is a separation from service
      (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the
      regulations thereunder), and (ii) the amount payable to the Employee
      pursuant to this Paragraph 7(c) shall not exceed two times the lesser of
      (A) the sum of the Employee’s compensation (as defined in Treasury
      Regulation Section 1.415-1(d)(2)) for services provided to the Company as an
      employee for the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the Employee
      has a separation from service, or (B) the maximum amount that may be taken
      into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the
      Internal Revenue Code for such year.

    

    (d) Non-renewal.
      In the
      event the Company fails to renew or extend the Term, the Company shall have
      the
      right, at its election, to continue to pay the Employee the Base Compensation
      for an additional period of up to one year after the expiration of the Term,
      and
      if the Company so elects, the Employee shall be bound by the provisions of
      Sections 5(d) and 5(e) of this Agreement for such additional period, provided,
      however, Employee’s right to receive any such payment shall be subject to the
      Employee complying with the terms of this Agreement. Any such election shall
      be
      made in writing at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the Term and shall
      specify the length of such additional period.

    (e) By
      Employee.
      The
      Employee may terminate the Agreement at anytime upon providing the Company
      with
      two weeks prior written notice. If this Agreement is terminated by the Employee
      pursuant to this Section 7(e), then the Employee shall be entitled to receive
      the Employee's accrued Base Compensation and benefits through the effective
      date
      of such termination and the Employee shall have no further entitlement to Base
      Compensation, bonus, or benefits from the Company following the effective date
      of such termination.

    

    (f) Severance
      Payment.
      The
      period of time during which the Company continues to pay (or would continue
      to
      pay, but for any breach by the Employee of this Agreement) the Employee
      following the termination or expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Sections
      7(c) or 7(d) shall be referred to as the “Severance Period”, and the amounts due
      thereunder shall be referred to as the “Severance Payment.” The Severance
      Payment shall be payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of
      the
      Company and shall be subject to withholding for applicable taxes and other
      amounts. In lieu of cash, at the option of the Company, the Severance Payment
      may be payable through the issuance of Common Stock on the effective date of
      such termination or expiration, based upon the closing price of the Common
      Stock
      on such date. 

    

    
      
        	
              	8. 	
                Miscellaneous.

              

      

    

     

    (a) Survival.
      The
      provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, and 8 shall survive the termination of this
      Agreement.

    

    (b) Entire
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties and, except as
      specifically set forth herein, merges and supersedes any prior or
      contemporaneous agreements between the parties pertaining to the subject matter
      hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this agreement
      supersedes in its entirety the provisions of the letter dated July 19, 2007,
      from the Company to the Employee.

    

    (c) Modification.
      This
      Agreement may not be modified or terminated orally, and no modification,
      termination or attempted waiver of any of the provisions hereof shall be binding
      unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the same is sought to
      be
      enforced.

    

    (d) Waiver.
      Failure
      of a party to enforce one or more of the provisions of this Agreement or to
      require at any time performance of any of the obligations hereof shall not
      be
      construed to be a waiver of such provisions by such party nor to in any way
      affect the validity of this Agreement or such party’s right thereafter to
      enforce any provision of this Agreement, nor to preclude such party from taking
      any other action at any time which it would legally be entitled to
      take.

    

    (e) Successors
      and Assigns.
      Neither
      party shall have the right to assign this Agreement, or any rights or
      obligations hereunder, without the consent of the other party; provided,
      however,
      that
      upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets, business and goodwill
      of the Company to another company, or upon the merger or consolidation of the
      Company with another company, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of,
      and
      be binding upon, both Employee and the company purchasing such assets, business
      and goodwill, or surviving such merger or consolidation, as the case may be,
      in
      the same manner and to the same extent as though such other company were the
      Company; and provided,
      further,
      that the
      Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement to any affiliate or
      subsidiary of the Company. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure
      to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their legal
      representatives, heirs, successors and assigns.

    (f) Communications.
      All
      notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall
      be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at the time per-sonally
      delivered or when mailed in any United States post office enclosed in a
      registered or certified postage prepaid envelope and addressed to the addresses
      set forth below, or to such other address as any party may specify by notice

      provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court

    EMPLOYMENT
      AGREEMENT

    

    

    THIS
      AGREEMENT
      is made
      and entered into this 26th
      day
      July, 2007, effective from July 1, 2006 and for the term provided herein, by
      and
      between Reliv'
      International, Inc.,
      a
      Delaware corporation (the "Company") and Carl
      W. Hastings
      (hereinafter referred to as the "Executive").

    

    WHEREAS,
      the
      Executive is presently, and for some time has been, employed as an Executive
      of
      the Company, pursuant to the terms of an Employment Agreement dated June 1,
      1997
      and a Services Agreement dated July 1, 2002 (“Prior Employment
      Agreement”);

    

    WHEREAS,
      the
      Company desires to be assured of the continued association and services of
      Executive and Executive desires to continue in the employment of the Company
      on
      the terms provided herein.

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE,
      in
      consideration of the premises and of the terms, covenants and conditions
      hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

    

    1. Employment,
      Duties and Authority.

    

    1.1 The
      Company hereby employs Executive and Executive hereby accepts employment by
      the
      Company on the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained.

    

    1.2 The
      Executive is hereby employed by the Company as Vice Chairman and Chief
      Scientific Officer. The Executive shall have such duties, responsibilities
      and
      authority as the Chief Executive Officer, Board of Directors or Executive
      Committee of the Company shall determine from time to time. In general, it
      is
      anticipated that the services which Executive shall perform for the Company
      shall include: (i) research concerning product development for the Company,
      (ii)
      product formulation development, (iii) attendance at, and participation in,
      distributor events of the Company as requested from time to time, (iv) research
      and writing of articles in professional publications, research papers and the
      like and (v) development of quality control protocols for the Company. Executive
      shall be Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Company. With regard
      to travel for distributor functions, the Executive shall not be required to
      engage in more than two trips per year outside the area of the United States,
      Canada and Mexico.

    1.3 During
      the period from July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2009, Executive shall devote
      his
      full working and productive time, energies, interest and abilities to the
      performance of his duties hereunder and will perform such duties and
      responsibilities faithfully and with reasonable care for the welfare of the
      Company. During the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2012, Executive
      shall devote approximately one-half (approximately 85 hours per month) of his
      energies, interest, abilities and productive time to the performance of his
      duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Company shall maintain an office
      for

            The
              foregoing provisions of paragraph 9.3 shall not apply in the event
              that
              Executive shall terminate this Agreement for cause pursuant to Paragraph

    	(b)  	
            In
              the event that Executive shall terminate his employment or consultation
              hereunder in accordance with Paragraph 5.3.2 hereof, Paragraph 9.3.3

    10.     Specific
      Enforcement.

    

    Executive
      is obligated under this Agreement to render service of a special, unique,
      unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character, thereby giving this Agreement
      peculiar value so that the loss of such service or violation by Executive of
      this Agreement could not reasonably or adequately be compensated in damages
      in
      an action at law. Therefore, in addition to other remedies provided by law,
      the
      Company shall have the right during the term or any renewal term of this
      Agreement (or thereafter with respect to obligations continuing after the
      expiration or termination of this Agreement) to compel specific performance
      hereof by Executive or to obtain injunctive relief against violations hereof
      by
      Executive, and if the Company prevails in any proceeding therefor, it will
      also
      be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in
      connection therewith, including attorneys' fees.

    11.     Assignment.

    

    The
      rights and duties of a party hereunder shall not be assignable by that party,
      except that the Company may assign this Agreement and all rights and obligations
      hereunder to, and may require the assumption thereof by, any corporation or
      any
      other business entity which succeeds to all or substantially all the business
      of
      the Company through merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization or by
      acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
      Company.

    

    12.     Binding
      Effect. This
      Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
      successors in interest, heirs and personal representatives and, to the extent
      permitted herein, the assigns of the Company.

    

    13.     Severability.

    

    If
      any
      provision of this Agreement or any part hereof or application hereof to any
      person or circumstance shall be finally determined by a court of competent
      jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of
      this
      Agreement, or the remainder of such provision or the application of such
      provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been
      held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each provision
      of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent
      permitted by law. The parties also agree that, if any portion of this Agreement,
      or any part hereof or application hereof, to any person or circumstance shall
      be
      finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
      unenforceable to any extent, any court may so modify the objectionable provision
      so as to make it valid, reasonable and enforceable.

      default of the same or a different nature, nor shall any delay or omission
      of
      either party to exercise any rights arising from any default by the other party
      affect or impair such party's rights as to such default or any subsequent
