and other  documents as reasonably  may be required by the insurance  company or

      If requested by the Company,  the  Executive  shall submit to at least one
medical  examination  during each Fiscal Year at such  reasonable time and place
and by a physician or physicians determined and selected by the Company.

      Section 9. CERTAIN COMPANY PROTECTION PROVISIONS. The following provisions
apply for the protection of the Company:

              (a)  CONFIDENTIALITY.  The Executive agrees and acknowledges that,
by reason of the nature of his duties as an officer and employee of the Company,
he  will  have  access  to  and  become  informed  of  confidential  and  secret
information  which  is  a  competitive  asset  of  the  Company   ("CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION"),   including,  without  limitation,  any  lists  of  customers  or
suppliers, financial statistics, research data or any other statistics and plans
contained in profit plans, capital plans, critical issue plans, strategic plans,
marketing or  operational  plans,  technical data and  information,  technology,
software,  product  information or other  information of the Company (whether or
not such information qualifies as a "trade secret" under applicable law) and any
of the  foregoing  which  belong  to any  person  or  company  but to which  the
Executive  has had  access  by reason of his  employment  relationship  with the
Company. Any technology,  software, or patents created,  obtained,  designed, or
produced  by  Executive  during  the  Employment  Period  shall be  deemed to be
Confidential Information; however, any technology, software, or patents created,
obtained,  designed,  or produced by Executive  during any period other than the
Employment  Period  shall be  deemed  not to be  Confidential  Information.  The
Executive  agrees to  faithfully  keep in  strict  confidence,  and not,  either
directly or indirectly,  to make known, divulge, reveal, furnish, make available
or use (except for use in the regular course of his employment  duties) any such
Confidential   Information.   The  Executive   acknowledges  that  all  manuals,
instruction books, price lists,  technology,  software,  information and records
and other information and aids relating to the Company's  business,  and any and
all other documents (and all copies thereof) containing Confidential Information
furnished to the Executive by the Company or otherwise  acquired or developed by
the  Executive,  shall  at all  times  be the  property  of  the  Company.  Upon
termination of the Employment  Period, the Executive shall return to the Company
all such  property  or  documents  (and all  copies  thereof)  which  are in his
possession,  custody or control,  but his  obligation of  confidentiality  shall
survive  such  termination  of the  Employment  Period until and unless any such
Confidential  Information shall have become,  through no fault of the Executive,
generally  known to the public.  The  obligations  of the  Executive  under this
subsection are in addition to, and not in limitation or preemption of, all other
obligations of confidentiality which the Executive may have to the Company under
general legal or equitable principles or otherwise.

              (b)  REMEDIES.  It is expressly  agreed by the  Executive  and the
Company that these  provisions are reasonable for purposes of preserving for the
Company its business,  goodwill and proprietary  information.  It is also agreed
that  if  any  provision  is  found  by  a  court  having   jurisdiction  to  be
unreasonable, for any reason, then that provision shall be amended to correspond
to that  considered  reasonable  by a court and as amended shall be enforced and


                                       3
<PAGE>


the remaining  provisions shall remain effective.  In the event of any breach of
these provisions by the Executive,  the parties recognize and acknowledge that a
remedy at law will be inadequate and the Company may suffer irreparable  injury.
The  Executive  acknowledges  that the  services  to be rendered by him are of a
character  giving them  peculiar  value,  the loss of which cannot be adequately
compensated for in damages; accordingly the Executive consents to injunctive and
other  appropriate  equitable  relief  (without  the posting of a bond) upon the
institution  of  proceedings  therefor  by the  Company in order to protect  the
Company's rights.  Such relief shall be in addition to any other relief to which
the Company may be entitled at law or in equity.
