deemed to be unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration or geographical
scope thereof, or otherwise, then the court making such determination shall have
the right to reduce such extent, duration, geographical scope, or other
provisions hereof, and in its reduced form this Section shall then be
enforceable in the manner contemplated hereby.

11.         No Ownership in Merchant Accounts and Contracts by Executive. Other
than set forth herein or the related contracts integrated into this document set
forth below, Executive hereby agrees, acknowledges, and consents that he shall
not assert any right, ownership, title or interest, in or to, any of the client
or customer accounts, contracts, revenue streams or business opportunities or
relationships that Executive acquires or procures on behalf of Company. In the

client, customer or merchant accounts) (“Purchased Accounts”) for which
Executive shall be separately paid or compensated as part of the transaction in
which Executive’s right, title, ownership of or interest in the Purchased
Accounts is purchased or otherwise acquired by Company.  Executive agrees and
acknowledges that in the event that Company purchases or otherwise acquires any
Purchased Accounts, those Purchased Accounts shall be excluded from the category
of merchants, clients or customers for which Executive receives Compensation
from Company, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any further
compensation or Commissions relating in any way to any such Purchased Accounts,
nor shall the Purchased Accounts or any income generated from them be used in
the calculation of the Minimum Requirements that Executive is required to
produce under this Agreement.
 
13.         Miscellaneous.
 
  (a)           Intentionally Omitted.
 
  (b)          Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by him
under the provisions of this Agreement are of a special, unique and
extraordinary character and that it would be difficult or impossible to replace
such services. Accordingly, Executive agrees that any breach by him of Sections
9 or 10 of this Agreement shall entitle Company, in addition to all other legal
remedies available to it, to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to
seek to enjoin such breach or threatened breach. The parties understand and
intend that each restriction agreed to hereinabove by Executive shall be
construed as separable and divisible from every other restriction, that the
unenforceability of any restriction shall not limit the enforceability, in whole
or in part, of any other restriction, and that one or more or all of such
restrictions may be enforced in whole or in part as the circumstances warrant.
In the event that any restriction in this Agreement is more restrictive than
permitted by law in the jurisdiction in which Company seeks enforcement thereof,
such restriction shall automatically be deemed modified and limited to the
maximum extent permitted by such law. The remedy of injunctive relief herein set
forth shall be in lieu of, any other rights or remedies that Company may have at
law or in equity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
  (c)          Neither Executive nor Company may assign or delegate any of their
rights or duties under this Agreement without the express prior written consent
of the other; provided however that Company shall have the right to delegate its
obligation of payment of all sums due to Executive hereunder, provided that such
delegation shall not relieve Company of any of its obligations hereunder.
 
  (d)         This Agreement constitutes and embodies the full and complete
understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to Executive’s
employment by Company, supersedes all prior understandings and agreements,
whether oral or written, between Executive and Company, and shall not be
amended, modified or changed except by an instrument in writing executed by the
party to be charged. The invalidity or partial invalidity of one or more
provisions of this Agreement shall not invalidate any other provision of this
Agreement. No waiver by either party of any provision or condition to be
performed shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or
conditions at the same time or any prior or subsequent time.
 
  (e)          This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon and
enforceable against, the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs,
beneficiaries and permitted assigns.
 
  (f)           The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.

or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given when personally delivered, sent by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by private overnight mail
service such as FedEx or DHL to the Party at the address set forth above or to
such other address as either Party may hereafter give written notice of in
accordance with the provisions hereof. Notices shall be deemed given on the
earlier of the date actually received or the third business day after sending.

full  power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform his
obligations hereunder and that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the performance of his obligations hereunder will not conflict with any
agreement to which Executive is a party.

with the internal laws of the State of New York without reference to principles
of conflicts of laws and each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the
jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in the State of
New York County of New York.
