in any transaction involving the Licensee Stock.  Licensor and Licensee shall
each promptly take all actions necessary or advisable to effect the Stock Swap,
including but not limited to the calculation of the Exchange Ration in
accordance with Section 14.4, and to cause the Stock Swap to occur prior to the
scheduled closing date for the Transaction.  Licensor and Licensee shall agree
on a closing date for a Stock Swap and, at such Closing, the shareholders of
Licensee shall execute and deliver to Licensor stock certificates representing
all the issued and outstanding shares of Licensee Stock, and Licensor shall
issue to shareholders of Licensee the respective number of shares of Licensor
Stock to be issued to each shareholder of Licensee pursuant to the Exchange
Ratio determined according to Section 14.4.

              14.3   CONSENT OF LICENSEE'S SHAREHOLDERS.  Licensee represents
that, as of the Effective Date and as of the date this Agreement is executed,
the only shareholder of Licensee is Jonathon Hendriksen.  By executing this
Agreement on the signature line

set forth below, Mr. Hendriksen hereby consents to the grant of the Option on
the terms set forth herein, and agree to take all actions and execute and
deliver all documents necessary or desirable to effect the Stock Swap upon
exercise of the Option by Licensor, and Mr. Hendriksen agrees that the
valuation formula in Section 14.4 is fair, just and reasonable for purposes
of determining the Exchange Ratio for the Stock Swap.  Licensor and Mr.
Hendriksen agree that any person who becomes a shareholder of Licensee shall
be required, as a condition of such admission, to approve in writing the
Option and the other matters described in this section 14.3.

              14.4   DETERMINATION OF EXCHANGE RATIO.  To determine the Exchange
Ratio to be used to calculate the number of shares of Licensor Stock to be
issued to the shareholders of Licensee in connection with the Stock Swap upon
exercise by Licensor of the Option (the "Exchange Ratio"), Licensor and Licensee
agree that the valuation of Licensee for such purposes shall be determined in
the same manner and according to the same formula and assumptions (including but
not limited to valuation of intangible assets, marketability discounts, the
effect of external considerations, etc.) as are used and applied to determine
the value of Licensor for purposes of the Transaction.  For example, if the
valuation of Licensor for the Transaction is based on a multiple of annual gross
revenues, the same approach and calculation shall be used to determine the
valuation of Licensee; provided, that the valuation of Licensee resulting from
such determination shall be subject to a discount of twenty-five percent (25%)
for purposes of calculating the Exchange Ratio (e.g. if the initial valuation of
Licensee determined in accordance with this Section 14.4 is $1,000,000, the
actual valuation of Licensee used for purposes of calculating and determining
the Exchange Ratio shall be $750,000).  In any event, the minimum valuation of
Licensee for determining the Exchange Ratio shall be (i) two (2) times the
annual revenue of Licensee, plus (minus) (ii) ten (10) times the net profit (net
loss) of Licensee for that year.

       15.    MISCELLANEOUS.

within that State and without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.
