part of GPT, GPT will use its best efforts to resolve the problem at
no additional expense to Client. In no event will GPT be liable for
actual, incidental, consequential, related or any other type of
damages, in any amount, attributable to such error or oversight on
the part of GPT.

expenses (and all other actions, suits, proceedings, or claims in
respect thereof) and any legal or other expenses in giving testimony
or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise
(including, without limitation, the cost of investigating, preparing
or defending any such action, suit, proceeding, or claim, whether or
not in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or claim for
which it is a party), as and when incurred, directly or indirectly,
caused by, relating to, based upon or arising out of the services
pursuant to this agreement so long as GPT has not committed
intentional or willful misconduct, nor acted with gross negligence,
in connection with the services which form the basis of the claim for
indemnification. Client further agrees that GPT shall incur no
liability on account of this agreement or any acts or omissions
arising out of or relating to this agreement except for such
intentional or willful misconduct. This paragraph shall survive the
expiration or termination of this agreement.
Please Initial: ___________ Client also expressly indemnifies GPT
for any future liabilities, either administrative, civil, or criminal
related to the improper use by Client or its assigns of any and all
documentation that is provided to Client by GPT pursuant to this
Agreement.

indemnify GPT against any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal or administrative, and against any fine, cost, levy,
expense, judgment or award arising therefrom (collectively a
"Claim"), in which GPT may be involved (whether as a witness or a
party) as a result of any application or document filed or processed
by GPT, on the Client's behalf, which contains any false or
misleading statement or omission of material fact or which, other
than through gross negligence of GPT, violates any statute, rule or
order of any Federal, state or self-regulatory authority. Client
agrees that GPT shall have no responsibility to verify the accuracy
or adequacy of any statement, document, fact or information provided
to GPT by Client or Client's attorney, accountant, representative or
agents.
8.Independent Contractor Status: GPT shall perform its services
under this contract as an independent contractor and not as an
employee of Client or an affiliate thereof. It is expressly

authority to act for, represent or bind Client or any affiliate
thereof in any manner, except as provided for expressly in this
Agreement or in writing by Client.

direct scope of the documents listed in Section 1 above shall be
billed to Client by GPT at GPT's then current hourly rates. Such
services specifically include, but are not limited to, services
required as a result of Client's strategic reconfigurations of its
offering subsequent to the execution of this Agreement and subsequent
to initial information provided to GPT by Client.
10. Late Fees: Any GPT invoice not paid within thirty (30) days of
such billing is subject to a 1.5% monthly interest charge. GPT
reserves the right to use any and all means of collection available
under applicable law to collect any amount past due.
11. Amendment and Modification: Subject to applicable law, this
Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written
agreement signed by both parties. No oral modifications to this
Agreement may be made.
12. Entire Agreement: This Agreement contains the entire
understanding between and among the parties and supersedes any prior
understandings and agreements among them respecting the subject
matter of this Agreement. The failure by GPT to insist on strict
performance of any term or condition contained in this Agreement
shall not be construed by Client as a waiver, at any time, of any
rights, remedies or indemnifications, all of which shall remain in
full force and effect from time of execution through eternity.
13. Agreement Binding: This Agreement shall be binding upon the
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns of
the parties hereto. Client shall not assign its rights or delegate
its duties under any term or condition set forth in this Agreement
without the prior written consent of GPT.
14. Attorney's Fees: In the event an arbitration, mediation, suit
or action is brought by any party under this Agreement to enforce any
of its terms, or in any appeal therefrom, it is agreed that the
prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees to
be fixed by the arbitrator, mediator, trial court and/or appellate
court.
15. Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws
effective during the term hereof, such provision shall be fully
severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if
such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision never comprised a
part hereof; and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full
force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom. Furthermore,
in lieu of such illegal, invalid and unenforceable provision, there
shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as
similar in nature in its terms to such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be legal, valid and enforceable.
16. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Nevada, and the venue for the resolution of any dispute
arising thereof shall be in Xxxxx County, State of Nevada.
17. No Legal Advice: Client further agrees and understands that
although documents and filings prepared by GPT are reviewed by its
General Counsel, GPT has not and does not render legal advise or
offer legal assistance. All requests for legal advice by Client will
be referred to legal counsel for a proper legal opinion.
Accordingly, no statements or representations by GPT should be
construed to be legal advice, and GPT advises Client to always
consult with own its attorney regarding the legalities of all
investment offerings, registrations and filings.
18. Post-Registration Responsibilities: Client understands and
acknowledges by the acceptance of this Agreement that all post-
registration periodic or special reports are the responsibility of
the Client unless otherwise agreed to in writing by GPT.
