duplication thereof, relating to any Confidential Information.

             (c) Employee acknowledges that he has received and/or will receive
specialized knowledge and confidential and proprietary information from the
Corporation or any of its agents or employees during the term of this Agreement,
and that such knowledge and information would provide an unfair advantage if

Employee agrees that while he is employed with the Corporation, he shall not,
directly or indirectly, individually or as an owner, lender, consultant,
adviser, independent contractor, employee, partner, officer, director or in any
other capacity, alone or in association with other persons or entities, own,
assist, finance, participate in or be employed by any business or other endeavor
that competes with the Corporation in any material business that the Corporation

                                       3

is engaged in, in any geographic area (i) where the Corporation has operations,
or (ii) where the Corporation has actively targeted customers. In addition, for
a period of six (6) months after the date of termination of this Agreement,
Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or as an owner, lender,
consultant, adviser, independent contractor, employee, partner, officer,
director or in any other capacity, alone or in association with other persons or
entities, own, assist, finance, participate in or be employed by any business or
other endeavor that competes with the Corporation in any material business that
the Corporation was engaged in at the time of termination of this Agreement, in
any geographic area (i) where the Corporation had operations at the time of
termination of this Agreement, or (ii) where the Corporation had actively
targeted customers within the six (6) months prior to termination of this

             (d) Employee represents and acknowledges that his education,
experience and/or abilities are such that he can obtain employment in a
noncompeting business and that enforcement of the terms of this Agreement
through temporary and/or permanent injunctive relief will not prevent him from
earning a livelihood and will not cause an undue hardship upon him. Employee
hereby acknowledges that Employee's compensation provided herein is paid by the
Corporation in consideration for Employee's agreement to be bound by the
noncompetition provisions of this Agreement.

         13. SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES AFTER TERMINATION.

             (a) For a period of six months immediately following the
termination of his employment with the Corporation, Employee shall not directly
or indirectly make known to any person, firm, or corporation the names or
addresses of any of customers of the Corporation or any other information
pertaining to them, or call on, solicit, take away, or attempt to call on,

Corporation will continue to pay Employee his full compensation in effect when
the notice giving rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to,
Compensation as set forth in Section 3) and continue him as a participant in all

         20. DISPUTE RESOLUTION:  MEDIATION, ARBITRATION.

             (a) It is the objective of the parties to establish procedures to
facilitate the informal and inexpensive resolution of any and all disputes
arising out of this Agreement by mutual cooperation and without resort to
litigation. To accomplish this objective, the parties agree to follow the
procedures set forth below if and when a dispute arises under this Agreement.
The complaining party shall write a description of the alleged breach of the
Agreement and send it to the other party of this Agreement. This letter shall
explain the nature of the complaint and refer to the relevant Sections of this
Agreement upon which the complaint is based. The complaining party shall also
set forth a proposed solution to the problem, including a specific time frame
within which the parties must act. The party receiving the letter must respond
in writing within ten (10) days of receipt with an explanation, including
references to the relevant Sections of this Agreement and a response to the
proposed solution. Within ten (10) days of receipt of this response, the parties
must meet at a mutually acceptable neutral site in San Diego County, California
and discuss options for resolving the dispute. The complaining party must
initiate the scheduling of this resolution meeting.

                                       8
<PAGE>

             (b) MEDIATION. A settlement conference must be held within thirty
(30) days of an unsuccessful resolution meeting. The settlement conference will
be held at the local offices of Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc.
("JAMS"). The complaining party must contact JAMS to schedule a settlement
conference within thirty (30) days of the dispute. The parties may agree on a
retired judge from the JAMS panel. If the parties are unable to agree on a JAMS
panel Judge, JAMS will provide a list of the three available Judges and each
party may strike one name each. The remaining Judge will serve as the mediator
at the settlement conference. Neither party may initiate arbitration proceedings
until mediation is completed.

             (c) ARBITRATION. If the dispute is not settled by the settlement
conference, the parties agree to submit the dispute to JAMS for final and
binding arbitration. The parties may agree on a retired judge from the JAMS
panel. If the parties are unable to agree, JAMS will provide a list of three
available judges and each party may strike one. The remaining judge will serve
as the arbitrator. The parties agree that arbitration must be initiated within
one year after the claimed breach occurred and that the failure to initiate
arbitration within the one-year period constitutes an absolute bar to the
institution of any new proceedings. The aggrieved party may initiate arbitration
by sending written notice of an intention to arbitrate in accordance with the
manner prescribed by the notice provision of this Agreement to all parties,
including JAMS. The notice must contain a description of the dispute, the amount
involved and the remedy sought. If and when a demand for arbitration is made by
either party, the parties agree to execute a Submission Agreement, provided by
JAMS, setting forth the rights of the parties if the case is arbitrated and the
rules and procedures, including all evidence and discovery matters, to be
followed at the arbitration hearing.

             (d) COST OF MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION. The prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover the costs of the services provided by JAMS in connection
with any and all mediation and arbitration under this Agreement. If there is no
certain and definite prevailing party as determined by the JAMS Judge, then the
parties shall share the cost of the services provided by JAMS equally.

         21. ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS. If any is necessary to enforce or
interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and necessary disbursements in addition to
any other relief to which that party may be entitled. This provision shall be
construed as applicable to the entire Agreement.

         22. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. The relationship between the Corporation
and Employee is that of an employer and an employee. As an employee, Employee
shall be eligible to participate in any plans or arrangements or distributions
by the Corporation pertaining to any pension, profit-sharing, or similar
benefits provided for regular employees except to the extent that such plans,
arrangements, or distributions are superseded by more liberal provisions in this
Agreement or by plans, arrangements, or distributions pertaining solely to the
professional employees of the Corporation.

         23. NO VESTED INTERESTS. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to
give Employee any interest in the tangible or intangible assets of the
Corporation.

expressly consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
located in the State of California for any lawsuit filed there against him by
the Corporation arising from or relating to this Agreement. Venue shall be in
the state and federal courts in the County of San Diego, State of California.

             (b) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the entire
agreement and understanding between the parties relating to the subject matter
herein and supersedes all prior discussions between them. No modification of or
amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this agreement,
