opinion only, and the Client has not relied upon any such opinions for any purposes whatsoever.
10.Effective Date.This Agreement will take effect when the Client has performed
the conditions stated in Paragraph 1, but its effective date will be retroactive to the date the Firm first
performed services. The date below is for reference only. Even if this Agreement does not take
