former, or potential client to refrain from doing business with Company. In
light of the fact that the clients of Company will be engaged in operations
nationwide and Company will be contacting potential customers for its clients
throughout the entire United States, the restrictions set forth in this
Paragraph 13(a) shall apply throughout the entire United States.

                  (b) During the term of this Agreement and at all times
thereafter, Employee shall not use for his personal benefit, or disclose,
communicate or divulge to, or use for the direct or indirect benefit of any
person, firm, association or company other than Company, any material referred
to in Paragraph 12 above or any information regarding the business methods,
business policies, procedures, techniques, research or development projects or
results, trade secrets, or other knowledge or processes of or developed by
Company or any names and addresses of clients or customers or any data on or
relating to past, present or prospective clients or customers or any other
confidential information relating to or dealing with the business operations or
activities of Company, made known to Employee or learned or acquired by Employee

procedures and/or techniques which Employee may make, conceive, discover or
develop, either solely or jointly with any other person or persons, at any time
during the term of this Agreement, whether during working hours or at any other
time and whether at the request or upon the suggestion of Company or otherwise,
which relate to or are useful in connection with any business now or hereafter
carried on or contemplated by Company, including developments or expansions of
its present fields of operations, shall be the sole and exclusive property of
Company. Employee shall make full disclosure to Company of all such writings,
inventions, improvements, processes, procedures and techniques, and shall do
everything necessary or desirable to vest the absolute title thereto in Company.
Employee shall write and prepare all specifications and procedures regarding
such inventions, improvements, processes, procedures and techniques and other
aid and assist Company so that Company can prepare and present applications for

<PAGE>

copyright or Letters Patent therefor and can secure such copyright or Letters
Patent wherever possible, as well as reissues, renewals, and extensions thereof,
and can obtain the record title to such copyright or patents so that Company
shall be the sole and absolute owner thereof in all countries in which it may
desire to have copyright or patent protection. Employee shall not be entitled to
any additional or special compensation or reimbursement regarding any and all
such writings, inventions, improvements, processes, procedures and techniques,
except that Company shall reimburse Employee for any expenses which Employee may
incur in vesting absolute title thereto in Company.

                  (d) Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in
the foregoing subparagraphs (a), (b), and (c), in view of the nature of the
business in which Company is engaged, are reasonable and necessary in order to
protect the legitimate interests of Company, and that any violation thereof
would result in irreparable injuries to Company, and Employee therefore
acknowledges that, in the event of his violation of any of these restrictions,
Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages and an equitable
accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such
violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights
or remedies to which Company may be entitled.

                  (e) Employee agrees that if any or any portion of the
foregoing covenants or the application thereof, is construed to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of such covenant or covenants shall not be affected
and the remaining covenant or covenants shall then be given full force and
effect without regard to the invalid or unenforceable portion(s). If the
covenant is held to be unenforceable because of the area covered, the duration
thereof or the scope thereof, Employee agrees that the court making such
determination shall have the power to reduce the area and/or the duration and/or
scope thereof, and the covenant shall then be enforceable in its reduced form.

                  (f) If Employee violates any of the restrictions contained in
the foregoing subparagraph (a), the restrictive period shall not run in favor of
Employee from the time of the commencement of any violation until such time as
the violation shall be cured by Employee to the satisfaction of Company.

         14. Prior Agreements. Employee represents to Company (a) that there are
no restrictions, agreements or understandings whatsoever to which Employee is a
party which would prevent or make unlawful his execution of this Agreement or
his employment hereunder; (b) there are no agreements, restrictions or
understandings whatsoever to which Employee is a party which place any
limitations as to the companies or individuals with whom he may ado business;
(c) that his execution of this Agreement and his employment hereunder shall not
constitute a breach of any contract, agreement or understanding, oral or
written, to which he is a party and by which he is bound; and (d) that he is
free and able to execute this Agreement and to enter into employment by Company.

         15. Miscellaneous.

                  (a) Waiver. The waiver by Company of a breach of any provision
of this Agreement by Employee shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of
any subsequent breach by Employee. No waiver shall be valid unless in writing
and signed by Company's President.

and without the aid of any canon, custom or rule of law requiring construction
against the draftsman.

                  (c) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other

together constitute one and the same instrument.

                  (f) Provisions Separable. The provisions of this Agreement are
independent of and separable from each other, and no provision shall be affected
or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason
any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

                  (g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and

Agreement are for convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and
shall not affect its interpretation.

                  (i) Survival. The covenants contained in Paragraphs 12 and 13
shall survive the expiration of this Agreement and the termination of Employee's
employment.

                  (j) Number of Days. In computing the number of days for
purposes of this Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays; provided, however, that if the final day of any time
