     (v)  Any other  business  activity which can reasonably be determined to be
          competitive with the principal  business  activity being engaged in by
          Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries.

     Seller has carefully  read all the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 1
     and has given  careful  consideration  to the  covenants  and  restrictions
     imposed upon Seller herein,  and agrees that the same are necessary for the
     reasonable and proper protection of Seller's Business acquired by Purchaser
     and have been  separately  bargained for and agrees that Purchaser has been
     induced  to  enter  into  the  Asset   Purchase   Agreement   and  pay  the
     consideration described in Paragraph 2 by the representation of Seller that
     it will  abide by and be bound by each of the  covenants  and  restrictions
     herein;  and Seller agrees that Purchaser 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.  Seller hereby
     acknowledges  that each and every one of said covenants and restrictions is
     reasonable  with  respect  to the  subject  matter,  the length of time and
     geographic area embraced  therein,  and agrees that irrespective 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 Asset Purchase  Agreement,  is being entered into
     to protect the legitimate business interests of Purchaser,  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
     on-going  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  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  reasonableness  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 reasonable.
