Company to discharge any employee at any time for any reason whatsoever,

with or without cause.


                               X.

                      Laws and Regulations


The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver shares of Common Stock on

the grant  of  an Award under this Plan shall be subject to the  condition

                      Withholding of Taxes


If subject to withholding tax, the Company shall be authorized to withhold

from an Employer's salary or other cash compensation such sums of money  as

are necessary to pay the Employee's withholding tax. The Company may elect

to withhold from the shares to be issued hereunder a sufficient number  of

shares to  satisfy the Company's withholding obligations. If the Company

becomes required  to pay withholding tax to any federal,  state  or  other

taxing authority as a result of the granting of an Award and the  Employee

fails  to  provide  the  Company with the funds  with  which  to  pay  that

withholding tax,  the Company may withhold up to 50% of  each  payment  of

salary or  bonus to the Employee (which will be in addition to  any  other

required or permitted withholding), until the Company has been  reimbursed

for the entire withholding tax it was required to pay.
