9.  Proprietary  Information:  Unless  otherwise  expressly agreed by Company in
writing, any inventions,  ideas, reports,  discoveries,  developments,  designs,
improvements, inventions, formulas, processes, techniques, "know-how," data, and
other creative ideas  concerning the manufacture,  design,  marketing or sale of
pay phones (all of the  foregoing  to be hereafter  referred to as  "Proprietary
Information"),  whether or not  patentable  or  registrable  under  copyright or
similar  statutes,  generated by Employee either alone or jointly with others in
the  course  of his  employment  with the  Company  relating  or  useful  to the
manufacture,  design,  marketing or sale of pay phones by the Company,  shall be
the sole  property of the Company.  Employee  hereby  assigns to the Company any
rights that he may acquire or develop in such Proprietary Information.  Employee
shall  cooperate  with  the  Company  in  patenting  or  copyrighting  any  such
Proprietary Information,  shall execute any documents tendered by the Company to
evidence  its  ownership  thereof,  and  shall  cooperate  with the  Company  in
defending and enforcing its rights therein.  Employee's  obligations  under this
Section 9 to assist the Company in obtaining and enforcing patents,  copyrights,
and other rights and protections relating to such Proprietary Information in any
and all countries shall continue  beyond the termination of his employment.  The
Company  agrees to  compensate  Employee at a reasonable  rate for time actually
spent by Employee at the Company's  request on such assistance after termination
of  Employee's  employment  with  the  Company.  If  Company  is  unable,  after
reasonable  effort, to secure Employee's  signature on any document or documents
needed to apply for or prosecute any patent,  copyright,  or right or protection
relating to such  Proprietary  Information,  whether  because of the  Employee's
physical  or mental  incapacity  or for any other  reason  whatsoever,  Employee
hereby  irrevocably  designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized
officers and agents as Employee's agent and attorney-in-fact,  to act for and on
his behalf to execute and file any such  application or  applications  and to do
all other  lawfully  permitted acts to further the  prosecution  and issuance of
patents,  copyrights,  or similar  protections thereon with the same legal force
and effect as if executed by Employee.

10. Covenants Not To Disclose Confidential Information:

      (a) Employee  agrees that he will not at any time or place for three years
after the Termination Date directly or indirectly disclose to any person or firm
other than Company or make,  use or sell any records,  ideas,  files,  drawings,
documents,   improvements,   equipment,  customer  lists,  sales  and  marketing
techniques  and devices,


                                       2
<PAGE>

formulas, specifications,  research, investigations,  developments,  inventions,
processes  and data,  and without  limiting  the  generality  of the  foregoing,
anything not within the public domain  (ideas in the process of being  disclosed
to  customers  shall not be  considered  in the  public  domain),  belonging  to
Company, whether or not patentable or copyrightable, other than for the sole and
exclusive  benefit of  Company,  without the prior  written  consent of Company.
Employee  agrees that for three years  after the  Termination  Date he will keep
confidential   from  persons  not  associated  with  the  Company  any  and  all
Proprietary Information,  special techniques,  and trade secrets of the Company.
Employee  agrees to  return to the  Company  prior to the  Termination  Date any
property  belonging  to it,  including  but not limited to any and all  records,
notes, drawings, specifications,  programs, data and other materials, and copies
thereof,  pertaining  to the  Company's  business  and  generated or received by
Employee in the course of his employment duties with the Company.

      (b)  Employee  agrees  that  during the  Restricted  Period (as defined in
Section  11) he will not  directly or  indirectly  entice or hire away or in any
other manner persuade an employee, consultant, dealer or customer of the Company
to discontinue that person's or firm's relationship with or to the Company as an
employee, consultant, dealer or customer, as the case may be.

      (c) Employee agrees that he will not, during Restricted Period (as defined
in Section 11), engage in any employment or business  activity in which it might
reasonably  be  expected  that  confidential  Proprietary  Information  or trade
secrets of Company  obtained by the Employee during the course of his employment
with the Company would be utilized.

      (d) The  Employee  recognizes  and agrees that his  violation of any terms
contained  in  paragraphs  (a),  (b),  or (c) of  this  Section  10  will  cause
irreparable  damage to the Company,  the amount of which will be  impossible  to
estimate or determine. Therefore, Employee further agrees that the Company shall
be entitled,  as a matter of course, to an injunction  restraining any violation
or  further  violation  of any such  covenant  or  covenants  by  Employee,  his
employees,  partners,  agents or  associates,  such right to an injunction to be
cumulative and in addition to any other remedies, at law or otherwise, which the
Company  might have.  The Company  hereby  waives any right to require a bond in
connection with obtaining such an injunction. Such covenants shall be severable,
and if the same shall be held invalid by reason of length of time, area covered,
or  activity  covered,  or any or all of them,  shall be  reduced  to the extent
necessary to cure such invalidity.

11. Covenant Not To Compete Unreasonably With Company:

Employee further covenants and agrees that:

      (a)  During  the  Restricted  Period,  Employee  shall not  undertake  any
employment or financial  involvement  with or  assistance  of any person,  firm,
association,  partnership,  corporation  or  enterprise  which is engaged in the
manufacture,  design, marketing or sale of pay phones. "Restricted Period" shall
mean the time period following the Termination Date during which the Employee is
entitled to receive salary and benefits.

      (b)  Employee  recognizes  and  agrees  that his  violation  of any  terms
contained in paragraph (a) of this Section 11 will cause  irreparable  damage to
the Company  the amount of which will be  impossible  to estimate or  determine.
Therefore,  Employee  further  agrees that the Company  shall be entitled,  as a
matter  of  course,  to an  injunction  restraining  any  violation  or  further
violation  of any  such  covenant  or  covenants  by  Employee,  his  employees,
partners, agents or associates, such right to an injunction to be cumulative and
in addition to any other remedies, at law or otherwise,  which the Company might
have. Such covenants  shall be severable,  and if the same shall be held invalid
by reason of length of time, area covered, or activity covered, or any or all of
them, shall be reduced to the extent necessary to cure such invalidity.
