                  of $5,000.00, payable equally over a two month                      
                  period, $2,500.00 per month.

                  recovered in this matter, after deducting fifty                     
                  percent (50%) of the fees paid pursuant to                          
                  Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 above.  For example, if

                  made or secured herein.  IF NO RECOVERY IS                          
                  OBTAINED, ATTORNEY WILL RECEIVE NO ADDITIONAL                       
                  FEE, other than those specified in Paragraphs 2,

                  Attorney and client.                                                
                           *    *    *    *    *    *    *                           
                       8.  As security for the fees and costs that                    
                  will become due to Attorney, Client does hereby                     
                  give to Attorney a lien on all papers, documents                    
                  and records of Client, and judgments and                            
                  settlements concerning the matter.  Client                          
                  authorizes Attorney to retain from any recovery                     
                  an amount sufficient to liquidate client's
