      extent permitted by law, and executive hereby consents and agrees that
      such scope may be modified accordingly in any proceeding brought to
      enforce such restriction.  Further, it is agreed that, should

      consolidated into or with any other corporation or entity or if
      substantially all of the assets of company are transferred to another
      corporation or entity, the provisions of this Agreement shall survive any
      such transaction and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the

      to which such assets will be transferred, and this provision shall also
      apply in the event of any subsequent merger, consolidation or
      transfer.  Company, upon the occasion of any of the

      paragraph shall be performed.

      agreement shall be governed by, and construed under and in accordance
      with, the laws of the State
California

      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
      instrument.

      hereto.  No modification or waiver of this agreement, or of any
      provision thereof, shall be valid or binding, unless in writing and
      executed by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver by either
      party or any breach of any term or provision of this agreement shall be
      construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any other
      term or provision.
