Inc. (the "Company"); and
WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell and Purchaser desires to purchase
an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") on the terms

and convey to Purchaser, without recourse to Seller (other than recourse for
the breach by Seller of the representations and warranties made by Seller in
