Claimant agrees to provide all such information as may be necessary to assist the Company in such efforts. The parties agree that if the Registration Statement has not become effective by February 15, 1999, except by reason of Claimant's failure to comply with the previous sentence, then this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force or effect.
