exclusive  basis,  in addition to any other legal  remedies  available to it, to
apply to any court of competent  jurisdiction to enforce  specifically the terms
of this  Agreement  or enjoin  such  breach or  threatened  breach.  The parties
understand  and intend that each  restriction  agreed to by Executive  above and
elsewhere  herein will be construed as separable and divisible  from every other
restriction  and that the  unenforceability,  in whole or in part,  of any other
restriction will not affect the enforceablility of the remaining restriction and
that  one or more or all of such  restrictions  may be  enforced  in whole or in
part, as the circumstances warrant.
<PAGE>
          (b) If any of the  covenants  contained  in  Sections  9 and 10 or any
aspects thereof are construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not
affect the  remainder  of the covenant or  covenants,  which shall be given full
effect, without regard to the invalid parts.

interpretation,  performance and enforceablility  thereof, shall be governed and
