covenants or in the event the Company fails to perform as specified in the
relevant sections contained in this Agreement, the Company and CFO hereby agree
and acknowledges that the other party, upon the filing of an action in a Court
of competent jurisdiction, shall be immediately entitled to the issuance of an
ex parte preliminary injunction enjoining the party in breach from continuing
any such breach.

         12. Failure to Perform

         (a) In the event the Company fails to perform as specified in certain
sections of this agreement then the Company will be in breach of this agreement
and the CFO may choose to consider the agreement terminated and CFO will be
entitled to compensation (the Severance Amount) as defined below.

         13. Change of Control.

         (a) For the purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall be

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, becomes the owner or
beneficial owner of Company securities, after the date of this Agreement, having
thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the then
outstanding securities of the Company that may be cast for the election of
directors of the Company, or

              (ii) the persons who were directors of the Company before the
occurrence of any of the following transactions shall cease to constitute a
majority of the Board of the Company, or any successor to the Company, as the
direct or indirect result of, or in connection with, any cash tender or exchange
offer, merger or other business combination, sale of assets or contested
election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions.

         (b) The Company and CFO hereby agree that, if CFO is in the employ of
the Company on the date on which a Change of Control occurs (the "Change of
Control Date") the CFO may voluntarily terminate his employment upon written
notice to the Company at which time the CFO shall be entitled to receive the
Severance Amount (as defined below). The Company shall otherwise continue to
employ CFO and CFO will remain in the employ of the Company, in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and to exercise such authority and perform such CFO
duties as are commensurate with the authority being exercised and duties being
performed by the CFO immediately prior to the Change of Control Date.

         (c) The "Severance Amount" shall be a lump sum payment equal to 6
months compensation as found in section 4 or as modified and all stock options
shall immediately vest. Such amount will be paid to CFO within fifteen (15)
business days after his termination of affiliation with the Company.
