     Confidential  Information.  In the course of  Employee's  employment by the
     Company,  Employee has had access to and will have access to the  Company's
     most sensitive and most valuable trade  secrets,  proprietary  information,
     and confidential  information concerning the Company and its affiliates and
     their customers and business  affairs which  constitute  valuable  business
     assets of the Company,  the use,  application or disclosure of any of which
     will cause substantial and possible  irreparable damage to the business and
     asset value of the Company. Accordingly,  Employee accepts and agrees to be
     bound by the following provisions:

               (i)  At any time,  upon the  request  of the  Company  and in any
          event upon the termination of employment, Employee will deliver to the
          Company all memoranda,  notes, records,  drawings,  manuals,  files or
          other  documents,  and all copies of each,  concerning or constituting
          Confidential  Information  or Trade Secrets and any other  property or
          files  belonging to the Company or any of its  affiliates  that are in
          the  possession  of Employee,  whether made or compiled by Employee or
          furnished to or acquired by Employee from the Company.

               (ii) In  order  to  protect  the  Company's   Trade  Secrets  and

               indefinitely  thereafter,  Employee will not, except as expressly
               authorized or directed by the Company,  use, copy or disclose, or
               permit any  unauthorized  person  access  to,  any Trade  Secrets
               belonging to the Company or any third party; and

                    (B)  During the term of  employment by the Company and for a
               period of two (2) years  after  termination  of such  employment,
               Employee  will  not  use,  copy,  or  disclose,   or  permit  any
               unauthorized  person  access  to,  any  Confidential  Information
               belonging to the Company or any third party.

          (b)  Ownership of Property.  Employee agrees and acknowledges that all
     works  of  authorship  and  inventions,  including,  but  not  limited  to,
     products, goods, know-how, Trade Secrets and Confidential Information,  and
     any  revisions  thereof,  in any form and in whatever  stage of creation or
     development,  arising out of or resulting from, or in connection  with, the
     services   provided  by  Employee  to  the  Company  under  this  Agreement
     (collectively,  the  "Property")  are works  made for hire and shall be the
     sole and  exclusive  property of the Company.  Employee  agrees to execute,
     when and if the need arises in the future,  such  documents  as the Company
     may reasonably  request for the purpose of  effectuating  the rights of the
     Company herein.

          (c)  Covenant  not  to  Compete.   Employee  agrees  that  during  his
     employment  and for two (2) years after the  termination  of his employment

<PAGE>

     with the Company,  Employee  will not directly or indirectly  own,  manage,
     operate,  control,  be employed by,  participate  in or be connected in any
     manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any business
     or enterprise  located in the  Restricted  Territory that competes with the
     Business of the Company.

          (d)  Non-Solicitation of Customers. Employee covenants and agrees that
     during  the  term of this  Agreement,  and for a  period  of two (2)  years
     thereafter,  he will not on  behalf of any  person,  firm,  corporation  or
     entity  solicit  business  from  customers of the Company that Employee had
     contact  with,  solicited,  or performed  services for during the term that
     Employee  worked  for  Company,   including   actively-sought   prospective
     customers  that  Employee had contact with or solicited  during the two (2)
     year period prior to Employee's  termination,  for the purpose of providing
     or selling products or services that are competitive with those provided by
     the Company in connection with the Business of the Company.

          (e)  Non-Solicitation  of Employees.  Employee  agrees that during his
     employment  and for two (2) years after the  termination  of his employment
     with the  Company,  Employee  will not solicit or in any manner  attempt to
     induce employees to leave the Company's employment.

          (f)  Injunctive  Relief.  Employee  acknowledges  and agrees  that the
     remedy at law for any breach of the  provisions  of this  Section 7 will be
     inadequate  and that in the event of such  breach the  Company  will suffer
     irreparable damage; accordingly, the Company shall be entitled to obtain ex
     parte,  preliminary,  interlocutory,  temporary,  or  permanent  injunctive
     relief,  specific  performance and other equitable remedies in any court of
     competent jurisdiction to prevent Employee from violating such provision or
     provisions or to prevent the continuance of any violation thereof, together
     with an award or judgment  for any and all  damages,  losses,  liabilities,
     expenses  and costs  incurred  by the Company as a result of such breach or
     threatened breach  including,  but not limited to, attorneys' fees incurred
     by the Company,  its  successors  or assigns in  connection  with,  or as a
     result of, the enforcement of this Agreement.  Employment  expressly waives
     any requirement based on any statute,  rule or procedure,  or other source,
     that  the  Company  post a bond  as a  condition  of  obtaining  any of the
     above-described remedies.

          (g)  Non-Renewal.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  subparagraphs (c),
     (d) and (e) shall not apply to Consultant if the Company shall elect to not
     extend this Agreement upon expiration of its Term.

     8.   Miscellaneous.

          (a)  Severability.  Each of the covenants  and  agreements of Employee
     set forth in Section 7 shall be deemed  separate and  severable,  each from
     the  other,  and  should  any  such  separate  and  severable  covenant  or
     agreement,  or any part thereof,  be declared invalid or unenforceable by a
     court of competent  jurisdiction from which no appeal is timely taken, such
     declaration of invalidity or enforceability  shall not in any way affect or
     limit the validity or enforceability of any other covenant or agreement, or
     part thereof,  not also declared  invalid or  unenforceable,  each of which
     shall remain binding on Employee in accordance  with its respective  terms.

<PAGE>

     Further,  if any such covenant or agreement is so declared to be invalid or
     unenforceable,  Employee shall, as soon as possible, execute a supplemental
     agreement with the Company  granting to the Company,  to the extent legally
     permissible,  the protection  intended to be afforded to the Company by the
     covenant or  agreement  so declared  invalid or  unenforceable.  Failure to
     insist upon strict  compliance  with any provision of this Agreement  shall

     Agreement.

          (b)  Waiver of Breach. Failure or delay of either party to insist upon
     compliance with any provision hereof shall not operate as, and is not to be
     construed as, a waiver or amendment of such  provision.  Any express waiver
     of any  provision  of this  Agreement  shall not  operate  and is not to be
     construed as a waiver of any subsequent  breach,  whether  occurring  under
     similar or dissimilar circumstances.

     permitted  to be given by this  Agreement  shall be in writing and shall be
