                                    revised or developed by Employee during the

                                    Entities.

         6.       Nondisclosure:  Ownership of Proprietary Property.

                  (a) In recognition of the need of the Southern Entities to
protect their legitimate business interests, Confidential Information and Trade
Secrets, Employee hereby covenants and agrees that Employee shall regard and
treat Trade Secrets and all Confidential Information as strictly confidential
and wholly-owned by the Southern Entities and shall not, for any reason, in any
fashion, either directly or indirectly, use, sell, lend, lease, distribute,
license, give, transfer, assign, show, disclose, disseminate, reproduce, copy,
misappropriate or otherwise communicate any such item or information to any
third party or Entity for any purpose other than in accordance with this
Agreement or as required by applicable law: (i) with regard to each item
constituting a Trade Secret, at all times such information remains a "trade
secret" under applicable law, and (ii) with regard to any Confidential
Information, for a period of three (3) years following the Termination Date
(hereafter the "Restricted Period").

                  (b) Employee shall exercise best efforts to ensure the
continued confidentiality of all Trade Secrets and Confidential Information, and
he shall immediately notify the Company of any unauthorized disclosure or use of
any Trade Secrets or Confidential Information of which Employee becomes aware.
Employee shall assist the Southern Entities, to the extent necessary, in the
protection of or procurement of any intellectual property protection or other
rights in any of the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information.

                  (c) All Work Product shall be owned exclusively by the
Southern Entities. To the greatest extent possible, any Work Product shall be
deemed to be "work made for hire" (as defined in the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C.A.
ss. 101 et seq., as amended), and Employee hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably transfers and assigns to the Company all right, title and interest
Employee currently has or may have by operation of law or otherwise in or to any
Work Product, including, without limitation, all patents, copyrights, trademarks
(and the goodwill associated therewith), trade secrets, service marks (and the
goodwill associated therewith) and other intellectual property rights. Employee
agrees to execute and deliver to the Company any transfers, assignments,
documents or other instruments which the Company may deem necessary or
appropriate, from time to time, to protect the rights granted herein or to vest
complete title and ownership of any and all Work Product, and all associated
intellectual property and other rights therein, exclusively in the Company.

                  (d) Employee represents and agrees that he will keep all terms
and provisions of this Agreement completely confidential, except for possible
disclosures to his legal or financial advisors or to the extent required by law,
and Employee further agrees that he will not disclose the terms, provisions or
information contained in or concerning this Agreement to anyone, including, but
not limited to, any past, present, or prospective employee or applicant for
employment with the Company. Employee agrees that he may only disclose to
future, potential employers of Employee that he participates in a Deferred
Compensation Agreement with the Company which imposes certain restrictions on
him.

         7.       Non-Interference With Employees.

                  Employee covenants and agrees that during the Restricted
Period he will not, either directly or indirectly, alone or in conjunction with
any other person or Entity: (A) actively recruit, solicit, attempt to solicit,
or induce any person who, during such Restricted Period, or within one year
prior to the Termination Date, was an exempt employee of any of the Southern
Entities or was an officer of any of the other Southern Entities to leave or
cease such employment for any reason whatsoever; or (B) hire or engage the
services of any such person described in Paragraph 7(A) in any business
substantially similar or competitive with that in which the Southern Entities
were engaged during his employment.

         8.       Non-Interference With Customers.

                  (a) Employee acknowledges that in the course of employment, he
has learned about the Southern Entities' business, services, materials, programs
and products and the manner in which they are developed, marketed, serviced and
provided. Employee knows and acknowledges that the Southern Entities have
invested considerable time and money in developing their programs, agreements,
offices, representatives, services, products and marketing techniques and that
they are unique and original. Employee further acknowledges that the Southern
Entities must keep secret all pertinent information divulged to Employee and the
Southern Entities' business concepts, ideas, programs, plans and processes, so
as not to aid the Southern Entities' competitors. Accordingly, the Southern
Entities are entitled to the following protection, which Employee agrees is
reasonable:

                  (b) Employee covenants and agrees that for a period of two (2)
years following the Termination Date, he will not, on his own behalf or on
behalf of any person or Entity, solicit, direct, appropriate, call upon, or
initiate communication or contact with any person or entity or any
representative of any person or entity, with whom Employee had contact during
his employment, with a view toward the sale or the providing of any product,
equipment or service sold or provided or under development by the Southern
Entities during the period of two (2) years immediately preceding the date of
Employee's termination and resignation. The restrictions set forth in this
section shall apply only to persons or entities with whom Employee had actual
contact during the two (2) years prior to termination of employment with a view
toward the sale or providing of any product, equipment or service sold or
provided or under development by the Southern Entities.

         9.       Non-Interference With Business.

                  (a) Employee and Company expressly covenant and agree that the
scope, territorial, time and other restrictions contained in this entire
Agreement constitute the most reasonable and equitable restrictions possible to
protect the business interest of the Company given: (i) the business of the
Company; (ii) the competitive nature of the Company's industry; and (iii) that
Employee's skills are such that he could easily find alternative, commensurate
employment or consulting work in his field which would not violate any of the
provisions of this Agreement. The Employee further acknowledges that the
payments described in Paragraph 2 are also in consideration of his covenants and
agreements contained in Paragraphs 5 through 9 hereof.

                  (b) Employee covenants and agrees to not obtain or work in a
Competitive Position within the Territory for a period of two (2) years from the
Termination Date.

         10. Return of Materials. Upon the Employee's termination and
resignation, or at any point after that time upon the specific request of the
Company, Employee shall return to the Company all written or descriptive
materials of any kind belonging or relating to the Company or its affiliates,
including, without limitation, any originals, copies and abstracts containing
any Work Product, intellectual property, Confidential Information and Trade
Secrets in Employee's possession or control.

         11. Cooperation. The parties agree that as a result of Employee's
duties and activities during his employment, Employee's reasonable availability
may be necessary for the Southern Entities to meaningfully respond to or address
actual or threatened litigation, or government inquiries or investigations, or
required filings with state, federal or foreign agencies (hereinafter "Company
Matters"). Upon request of the Company, and at any point following termination
of employment and resignation from all positions, Employee will make himself
available to any of the Southern Entities for reasonable periods and will
cooperate with its agents and attorneys as reasonably required by such Company
Matters. The Southern Entities will reimburse Employee for any reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing such cooperation.

         12. Confidentiality and Legal Process. Employee represents and agrees
that he will keep the terms, amount and fact of this Agreement confidential and
that he will not hereafter disclose any information concerning this Agreement to
any one other than his personal agents, including, but not limited to, any past,
present, or prospective employee or applicant for employment with the Southern
Entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement is intended
to prohibit Employee from performing any duty or obligation that shall arise as
a matter of law. Specifically, Employee shall continue to be under a duty to
truthfully respond to any legal and valid subpoena or other legal process. This
Agreement is not intended in any way to proscribe Employee's right and ability
to provide information to any federal, state or local government in the lawful
exercise of such governments' governmental functions.

         13. Successors And Assigns; Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employee and his heirs, administrators,
representatives, executors, successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Company and its officers, directors, employees,
agents, shareholders, parent corporation and affiliates, and their respective
predecessors, successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators and each
of them, and to their heirs, administrators, representatives, executors,
successors and assigns. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama, United States of America
(without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws).

         14. Complete Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute the full and
complete Agreement between the parties concerning its subject matter and fully
supersedes any and all other prior Agreements or understandings between the
parties concerning the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be
modified or amended except by a written instrument signed by both Employee and
an authorized representative of the Company.

         15. Severability. The unenforceability or invalidity of any particular
provision of this Agreement shall not affect its other provisions, and to the
extent necessary to give such other provisions effect, they shall be deemed
severable. The judicial body interpreting this Agreement shall be authorized and
instructed to rewrite any of the sections which are enforceable as written in
such a fashion so that they may be enforced to the greatest extent legally
possible. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants and
agreements contained in Paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, shall be construed as
covenants and agreements independent of each other or any other contract between
the parties hereto and that the existence of any claim or cause of action by
Employee against any of the Southern Entities, whether predicated upon this
Agreement or any other contract, shall not constitute a defense to the
enforcement by Company of said covenants and agreements.

         16. Waiver Of Breach; Specific Performance. The waiver of a breach of
any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of
any other breach. Each of the parties to this Agreement will be entitled to
enforce its or his rights under this Agreement, specifically, to recover damages
by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all
other rights existing in its or his favor. The parties hereto agree and
acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of
the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its or his sole
discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for
specific performance or injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violations of the provisions of this Agreement. The prevailing party shall
recover reasonable attorney fees and expenses.

         17. Unsecured General Creditor. The Company shall neither reserve nor
specifically set aside funds for the payment of its obligations under this
Agreement, and such obligations shall be paid solely from the general assets of
the Company. Notwithstanding that Employee may be entitled to receive the value
of his benefit under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the assets from
which such amounts may be paid shall at all times be subject to the claims of
the Company's creditors.

         18. No Effect On Other Arrangements. It is expressly understood and
agreed that the payments made in accordance with this Agreement are in addition
