10. Remedies.

         10.1  Injunctive   Relief.  The  Company  and  Employee  recognize  and
acknowledge  that Employee is employed  under this Agreement as an employee in a
position  where  Employee  will be  rendering  personal  services  of a special,
unique, unusual and extraordinary  character requiring  extraordinary  ingenuity
and effort by Employee.  Employee hereby  acknowledges  that compliance with the
provisions  of Sections 7, 8 and 9 of this  Agreement  (which shall  survive the
termination  of this  Agreement  in all  respects)  is  necessary to protect the
goodwill  and other  proprietary  interests  of the Company and that the Company
would suffer  continuing and  irreparable  injury which injury is not adequately
compensable in monetary damages or at law.  Accordingly Employee agrees that the
Company,  its  successors and assigns may obtain  injunctive  relief against the
breach or  threatened  breach of the  foregoing  provisions,  in addition to any
other  legal  remedies  which  may  be  available  to it  under  this  Agreement
(including money damages),  and that any such breach or threatened breach may be
preliminarily enjoined by the Company without bond.

         10.2  Other  Remedies.  However,  no  remedy  conferred  by  any of the
specific  provisions of this  Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy,  and each and every remedy shall be cumulative  and shall be in addition
to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter  existing at law or in
equity or by statute or  otherwise.  The election of any one or more remedies by
the Company shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available
remedies.

         10.3 Accounting for Profits.  Employee  covenants and agrees that if he
violates the  provisions of Sections 7, 8 or 9, the Company shall be entitled to
an  accounting  and  repayment  of  all  profits,   compensation,   commissions,
remuneration  or other  benefits that Employee has realized and may realize as a
result of or in connection with any such  violation.  These remedies shall be in
addition  and not in  limitation  of any  injunctive  relief or other  rights or
remedies  to which the  Company is or may be entitled at law, in equity or under
this Agreement.

         10.4 Attorneys' Fees. If litigation arises under this Agreement between
Company and Employee,  the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled
to recover its  reasonable  attorneys'  and  paralegal's  fees,  court costs and
out-of-pocket litigation expenses from the non-prevailing party.

         10.5  Arbitration.  Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating
to this Agreement,  except Sections 7, 8 and 9, shall be resolved by arbitration
in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration  Association
then in effect.  The decision of the arbitrator  shall be final and binding upon
the parties  hereto,  and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may
be  entered  in any court of  competent  jurisdiction.  There  shall be a single
arbitrator, the situs of the arbitration shall be in the County of Orange, State
of California, and the prevailing party (or parties) shall also recover from the
losing  party  (or  parties)  reasonable   attorneys'  fees  and  the  costs  of
arbitration as part of the judgment rendered.

         10.6 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies described in this Section 10 are
in addition to and not in  substitution  for any other remedies  available under
the law.

11.  Severability.  It is the  desire of the  parties  that the  provisions  and
restrictions  of this  Agreement be enforced to the fullest  extent  permissible
under the laws and public  policies in each  jurisdiction  in which  enforcement
might be sought. Thus, whenever possible,  each provision or restriction of this
Agreement  shall  be  interpreted  in  such  manner  as  to be  effective  under
applicable  law. If any section or portion of this Agreement or the  application
thereof to any party or  circumstance  shall be  prohibited  by or invalid under
applicable law, the invalidity or unenforceability of that section or portion of
this Agreement  shall not invalidate any other section or portion,  nor shall it
affect the  application  of such  section  or portion to other  parties or other
circumstances.  If in any judicial  proceeding,  a court shall refuse to enforce
this  Agreement,  whether  because  the time  limit is too long or  because  the
restrictions contained herein are more extensive (whether as to geographic area,
scope of business or  otherwise)  than is  necessary to protect the business and
goodwill of the  Company,  it is  expressly  understood  and agreed  between the
parties hereto that this Agreement is deemed modified to the extent necessary to
permit this Agreement to be enforced in any such proceedings.

12. Continuing Obligations.  Employee's obligations pursuant to Sections 7 and 8
of this  Agreement  and the rights and remedies of the Company  hereunder  shall
continue in effect beyond the term of this Agreement.

13. Waiver or  Modification.  No waiver or  modification of this Agreement or of
any covenant, condition, or limitation herein contained shall be valid unless in
writing and duly executed by the party to be charged therewith.  Furthermore, no
evidence of any  modification or waiver shall be offered or received as evidence
in any litigation between the parties arising out of or affecting this Agreement
or the rights or  obligations  of any party  hereunder,  unless  such  waiver or
modification is in writing,  duly executed as aforesaid.  The provisions of this
Section may not be waived except as herein set forth.
