and  has  been  reviewed  and  approved  by  counsel  to  Client.

supplies  to  Consultant  and  Client acknowledges its awareness that Consultant
will  rely  on  such continuing representation in disseminating such information
and  otherwise  performing  its  functions  hereunder.

on the continuing accuracy of material, information and data supplied by Client.
     c.   Client  shall  cooperate  fully  and  timely with Consultant to enable

applicable  law,  and,  to  the  extent  required,  by  the  requisite number of
shareholders  of  Client.
     e.   The  performance  by  Client  of  this  Consulting  Agreement will not
violate  any  applicable  court  decree or order, law or regulation, nor will it

any  contractual  obligation  by  which  Client  may  be  bound.

reasonable  time  prior  to  the  projected  or  known  publication  date.

9.   Compensation
     a.   Compensation  payable to Consultant for all general investor relations
services  and other services hereunder, including but not limited to acquisition
and  merger  services, shall be paid by Client to Consultant by the means and in
the  manner or manners as described in "Addendum A", a copy of which is attached

shall  determine  in  advance  of performance of said special services, provided
Client  has  agreed  to  said  special  services.

10.  Consultant  as  an  Independent  Contractor
Consultant  shall provide said services as an independent contractor, and not as
an  employee  or  of  any  Client  affiliated  with  Client.  Consultant  has no
authority  to  bind  Client  or  any  affiliate  of  Client to any legal action,
contract, agreement, or purchase, and such action cannot be construed to be made
in  good  faith  or  with  the  acceptance  of Client; thereby becoming the sole
responsibility  of  Consultant.  Consultant  is  not  entitled  to  any  medical
coverage,  life insurance, savings plans, health insurance, or any and all other
benefits  afforded Client employees.  Consultant shall be solely responsible for
any  Federal, State or local taxes, and should Client for any reason by required
to  pay taxes at a later date, Consultant shall reassure such payment is made by
Consultant  and  not by Client.  Consultant shall be responsible for all workers
compensations  payments  and  herein  holds Client harmless for any and all such
payments  and  responsibilities  related  hereto.

modifications  or amendments are mutually agreed upon by and between the parties
hereto  and that said modifications or amendments are made in writing and signed
by  both  parties.

12.  Severability
If  any  provision  of this Consulting Agreement shall be held to be contrary to
law,  invalid  or  unenforceable  for any reason, the remaining provisions shall
continue  to  be  valid and enforceable.  If a court finds that any provision of
this Consulting Agreement is contrary to law, invalid or unenforceable, and that
by  limiting  such  provision  it  would become

<PAGE>
valid  and  enforceable,  then  such  provision  shall  be deemed to be written,
construed,  and  enforced  as  so  limited.

13.  Termination  of  Agreement

expiration  of  the  term  provided  in  paragraph  4  above  except as follows:

          voluntary  or  involuntary;

     c.   Upon  the  other party having or applying for a receiver appointed for
          either  party;  or
     d.   Non  performance  by  either  party

14.  Non-waiver
The failure of either party, at any time, to require any such performance by any
other  party  shall  not  be construed as a waiver of such right to require such
performance,  and  shall  in  no  way  affect such party's right to require such
performance  and  shall  in  no  way  affect  such party's right subsequently to
require  full  performance  hereunder.

15.  Early  Termination
In the event Client fails or refuses to cooperate with Consultant, or Consultant
fails  to  perform  its  duties  hereunder, either party shall have the right to

the  parties.  This  Consulting  Agreement  contains the entire agreement of the
parties  and  may be modified or amended only by agreement in writing, signed by

     December 25, 2002 (each, an "Interest Payment Date"); the Regular Record
     Dates with respect to the Notes shall be each June 10 and December 10,

          (vii)  principal and interest payable with respect to the Notes shall

<PAGE>

          (viii) the Notes are not subject to redemption, in whole or in part,

other corporate documents and records, having made such examination or
investigation as we deemed necessary to enable us to express an informed
opinion, that all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of the
Notes have been complied with and, to the best of our knowledge, no event which
is, or after notice or lapse of time would become, an Event of Default with
respect to any of the Securities has occurred and is continuing.

     Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Officers'
Certificate as of the 25th day of June, 2002.
