          ------------

          (a)  The Employee expressly agrees that the character, duration and
geographical scope of the non-competition provisions set forth in this Agreement
are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date hereof.
Should a decision, however, be made at a later date by a court of competent
jurisdiction that the character, duration or geographical scope of such
provisions is unreasonable, then it is the intention and the agreement of the
Employee and the Company that this Agreement shall be construed by the court in
such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the Employee's conduct
that are reasonable in the light of the circumstances and as are necessary to
assure to

                                       8
<PAGE>

the Company the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a
court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed included
herein because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to assure
to the Company the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the provisions of this
Agreement that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to
be enforced in such proceeding shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of
such proceeding, from this Agreement.

          (b)  If any provision of this Agreement otherwise is deemed to be
invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or
jurisdiction where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered
divisible as to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such
state or jurisdiction and shall not be part of the consideration moving from
either of the parties to the other.  The remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provision were not
included.
