TERMS:
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1.  Effective Date and Term. This Agreement is being signed on or about October 10, 2006 to be effective as of January 1, 2006. This Agreement shall remain in effect until May 31, 2008.
