and performed in that state and any applicable laws of the United States of
America. Lenders and Borrowers each hereby consent and agree that the state or
federal courts located in the state of Nevada, Clark County, City of Las Vegas,
shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes
between or among Borrowers and Lenders pertaining to this Agreement or any of

expressly submit and consent in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or
suit commenced in any such court, and each of the Borrowers and Lenders hereby

and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

         3.11 REMEDIES. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each party
hereunder will be entitled to specific performance of this Agreement. The
parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing
