         VI.  RESTRICTIVE COVENANT

         A. Confidential  Information.  Employee  acknowledges that by reason of
his employment by the Subsidiary,  he will have access to valuable  confidential
proprietary information concerning the Company and the Subsidiary, including but
not limited to its business plans,  products,  finances,  customers,  personnel,

the President of the Company (i) disclose the  Confidential  Information  to any
third  party  other  than  employees  and  authorized  agents of the  Company or
Subsidiary for purposes of performing his duties under this  Agreement;  or (ii)
use the Confidential  Information,  except for purposes of performing his duties
under this Agreement.  All Company and Subsidiary  property in the possession of
Employee must be returned to the Company upon  termination of employment for any
reason.  For  purposes  of this  Agreement,  Confidential  Information  does not
include matters that are public knowledge.

         B. Covenant Not to Compete.  Employee  acknowledges  that by (reason of
his employment)  with Subsidiary and by reason of his contacts with Company,  he
is of  significant  interest  and  value to  competing  companies.  Accordingly,
Employee  agrees  that he will not for a period  of three  (3)  years  after the
Termination  Date accept  employment with or act as a consultant to, directly or
indirectly  own,  manage,  operate,  or  control  or  participate  in  ownership
management or control of any company engaged in a business competing directly or

worldwide.

         C.  Solicitation  of  Employees.  Employee  agrees that for a period of
three (3) years immediately  following the Termination Date,  Employee shall not
directly or indirectly solicit,  induce,  recruit or entice any other Company or
Subsidiary  employee to leave  employment  with Company or  Subsidiary to pursue
employment with Employee or any other person or entity.

         D.  Injunctive  Relief;   Remedies.   Employee  acknowledges  that  the
restrictions  contained in this section are necessary to protect the  legitimate
interests of Company and Subsidiary and that any violation  thereof would result
in  irreparable  harm and  injury to the  Company  and/or  Subsidiary.  Employee
therefore agrees and  acknowledges  that in the event of any violation of any of
these  restrictions,  the Company and/or  Subsidiary shall be entitled to obtain
from any court,  preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, as well as damages
and an accounting of all earnings,  profits and other benefits arising from such
violation,  which damages may be cumulative and in addition to any other damages
or remedies which they may be entitled.

         E. Scope of  Agreement;  Modification.  The Parties  have  attempted to
limit  Employee's  right to compete only to the extent  necessary to protect the
Company and Subsidiary from unfair competition. However, in the event the period
of  time or the  geographical  area  specified  in this  Agreement  is  adjudged
unreasonable by a court, the parties agree that a court or trier of fact in such

Page 3 - EMPLOYMENT AND NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
<PAGE>

event may, and is hereby required,  to modify and enforce this Agreement and the
covenant  not to  compete  set forth  herein to the  extent  it  believes  to be
reasonable under the circumstances.

         F. Employee  Acknowledgement.  Employee  acknowledges that Employee has

gainful  employment  not in  violation  of the covenant not to compete set forth
herein.
