     specific performance, and/or temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive

     actual or threatened breach.

     (a) If any of the covenants contained in Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof, or any
     part thereof, are hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the
     same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which
     shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid portions.

     (b) If any of the covenants contained in Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof, or any
     part thereof, are held to be unenforceable by a court of competent

     or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such
     determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or geographic
     area of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall be

     to the activities you performed while you were the Interim Chief Executive
     Officer.

13.  OTHER ACTIVITIES. You shall perform your duties with reasonable diligence
     and faithfulness and shall devote substantially all of your business time
     and attention to such duties, provided that the foregoing will not prevent

     judgment of the Board, do not materially interfere with the performance of
     your duties and responsibilities hereunder.
