<PAGE>





               this Paragraph 1 and has given careful consideration to  the
               covenants and restrictions  imposed upon  Owner herein,  and
               agrees that the  same are necessary  for the reasonable  and
               proper protection  of the  business of  Company acquired  by
               Pomeroy by virtue of the acquisition  of all of the  capital
               shares in the Company and have been separately bargained for
               and agrees that Pomeroy has been  induced to enter into  the
               Stock Purchase Agreement and pay the consideration described
               in Paragraph 2 by the representation  of Owner that he  will
               abide  by  and  be  bound  by  each  of  the  covenants  and
               restrictions herein;  and  Owner agrees  that  Pomeroy  will
               suffer irreparable injury in the event of a breach by Owner,
               and Owner  agrees that  Pomeroy  is entitled  to  injunctive
               relief in  the  event  of any  breach  of  any  covenant  or
               restriction  contained  herein  in  addition  to  all  other
               remedies  provided  by   law  or  equity.     Owner   hereby
               acknowledges that each and every  one of said covenants  and
               restrictions is  reasonable  with  respect  to  the  subject
               matter, the  line  of  business,  the  length  of  time  and
               geographic area embraced therein, and agrees that  irrespec-
               tive of  when  or  in what  manner  this  agreement  may  be
               terminated,  said  covenants   and  restrictions  shall   be
               operative during  the full  period or  periods  hereinbefore
               mentioned and throughout the area hereinbefore described.

               The parties acknowledge that this Agreement, which Agreement
               is ancillary  to  the  main thrust  of  the  Stock  Purchase
               Agreement, is  being entered  into to  protect a  legitimate
               business interest of Pomeroy including, but not limited  to,
               (i) trade secrets;  (ii) valuable  confidential business  or
               professional information that otherwise does not qualify  as
               trade secrets; (iii) substantial relationships with specific
               prospective or existing customers or clients; (iv) client or
               customer good will  associated with an  ongoing business  by
               way of trade  name, trademark, or  service mark, a  specific
               geographic location, or a specific marketing or trade  area;
               and (v) extraordinary or specialized training.  In the event
               that any provision or portion of this Paragraph 1 shall  for
               any reason be  held invalid or  unenforceable, it is  agreed
               that  the   same   shall   not  affect   the   validity   or
               enforceability of any other provision of Paragraph 1 of this
               Agreement, but the  remaining provisions of  Paragraph 1  of
               this Agreement shall continue in force and effect; and  that
               if such invalidity or unenforceability is due to the reason-
               ableness of the line of business, time or geographical  area
               covered by certain covenants  and restrictions contained  in
               Paragraph  1,   said   covenants  and   restrictions   shall
               nevertheless be effective for such line of business,  period
               of  time  and  for  such  area  as  may  be  determined   by
               arbitration or by  a Court of  competent jurisdiction to  be

               including  consideration  paid  by  the  Pomeroy  to   Owner
               pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. 

          3.   The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be  binding
