                         Dispute Resolution Procedures

The following procedures shall be used to resolve any controversy or claim
("dispute") as provided in this Agreement.  If any of these provisions are
determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain
in effect and binding on the parties to the fullest extent permitted by law.

MEDIATION

A dispute shall be submitted to mediation by written notice to the other party
or parties.  In the mediation process, the parties will try to resolve their
differences voluntarily with the aid of an impartial mediator, who will attempt
to facilitate negotiations.  The mediator will be selected by agreement of the
parties.  If the parties cannot agree on a mediator, a mediator will be
designated by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or JAMS/Endispute at
the request of a party.  Any mediator so designated must be acceptable to all
parties.

The mediation will be conducted as specified by the mediator and agreed upon by
the parties.  The parties agree to discuss their differences in good faith and
to attempt, with the assistance of the mediator, to reach an amicable resolution
of the dispute.

The mediation will be treated as a settlement discussion and therefore will be
confidential.  The mediator may not testify for either party in any later
proceeding relating to the dispute.  No recording or transcript shall be made of
the mediation proceedings.

Each party will bear its own costs in the mediation.  The fees and expenses of
the mediator will be shared equally by the parties.

ARBITRATION

If a dispute has not been resolved within 90 days after the written notice
beginning the mediation process (or a longer period, if the parties agree to
extend the mediation), the mediation shall terminate and the dispute will be
settled by arbitration.  The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with
the procedures in this document and the Arbitration Rules for Professional
Accounting and Related Services Disputes of the AAA ("AAA Rules").  In the event
of a conflict, the provisions of this document will control.

The arbitration will be conducted before a panel of three arbitrators,
regardless of the size of the dispute, to be selected as provided in the AAA
Rules.  Any issue concerning the extent to which any dispute is subject to
arbitration, or concerning the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability
of these procedures, including any contention that all or part of these
procedures are invalid or unenforceable, shall be governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act and resolved by the arbitrators.  No potential arbitrator may
serve on the panel unless he or she has agreed in writing to abide and be bound
by these procedures.
<PAGE>

The arbitrators may not award non-monetary or equitable relief of any sort.
They shall have no power to award (i) damages inconsistent with the Agreement or
(ii) punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing
party's actual damages, and the parties expressly waive their right to obtain
such damages in arbitration or in any other forum.  In no event, even if any
other portion of these provisions is held to be invalid or unenforceable, shall
the arbitrators have power to make an award or impose a remedy that could not be
made or imposed by a court deciding the matter in the same jurisdiction.

No discovery will be permitted in connection with the arbitration unless it is
expressly authorized by the arbitration panel upon a showing of substantial need
by the party seeking discovery.

All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential.  Neither the
parties nor the arbitrators may disclose the existence, content or results of
the arbitration, except as necessary to comply with legal or regulatory
requirements.  Before making any such disclosure, a party shall give written
notice to all other parties and shall afford such parties a reasonable
opportunity to protect their interests.

The result of the arbitration will be binding on the parties, and judgment on
the arbitrators' award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
