The
Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information
relating to such security procedures to authorized persons. Each party must

persons may have obtained access to such information, or of any change in its
authorized personnel. In executing funds transfers, the Trustee will rely upon
account numbers or other identifying numbers of a beneficiary, beneficiary’s
bank or intermediary bank, rather than names. The Trustee shall not be liable
for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any error in an account number
or other identifying number, provided it has accurately transmitted the numbers
provided.
(b) This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with

instrument. Facsimile signatures shall constitute original signatures for all
purposes of this Agreement.
(c) This
Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement or any provision

consent of J&L, who, along with each other Underwriter, the parties
specifically agree, is and shall be a third party beneficiary for purposes
of this Agreement; and,
provided further,
that
any amendment to Section 1(j) shall require the vote or consent of holders
of
95% of the shares of Common Stock held by the Public Shareholders, it being
the
specific intention of the parties hereto that each Public Shareholder is and
shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 7(c) with the same right
and
power to enforce this Section 7(c) as either of the parties hereto. For purposes
of this Section 7(c), the “consent of 95% of the Public Shareholders” shall mean
receipt by the Trustee of a certificate from an entity certifying that: (i)
such
entity regularly engages in the business of serving as inspector of elections
for companies whose securities are publicly traded, and (ii) either (a) 95%
of
the Public Shareholders have voted in favor of such amendment or modification
or
(b) 95% of the Public Shareholders have delivered to such entity a signed
writing approving such amendment or modification. As to any claim, cross-claim
or counterclaim in any way relating to this Agreement, each party waives the
right to trial by jury.

parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal
court located in the State and County of New York for purposes of resolving
any
disputes hereunder. The parties hereto irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction,
which jurisdiction shall be exclusive, and hereby waive any objection to such
exclusive jurisdiction and accept such venue, and waive any objection that
such
courts represent an inconvenient forum.
