          6. Confidentiality and Solicitation.

               (a) Confidentiality.

               copies of Trade Secrets  prepared or obtained by Employee  during

               event shall deliver the same to Employer upon the  termination of
               his employment whether or not he has been requested to do so.

               (b)  Solicitation.  During  the  Employment  Term  and  one  year
          thereafter  if and  only  if  Employee  were  Terminated  with  Cause,
          Employee will not, and will cause his  affiliates to not,  directly or
          indirectly,  (i) solicit for employment by any Person,  its affiliates
          or anyone else,  any  employee or then  currently  active  independent
          contractor  of  Employer or its  affiliates,  or any person who was an
          employee or then currently active  independent  contractor of Employer
          or its affiliates,  within the six-month period immediately  preceding
          such  solicitation  of  employment,  other than such  person (a) whose
          employment or independent  contractor  relationship  was terminated by
          Employer or its  affiliate,  or (b) who  independently  responded to a
          general solicitation for employment by Employee or his affiliates;  or
          (ii)  induce  or  attempt  to  induce,  any  employee  or  independent
          contractor of Employer or its affiliates, to terminate such employee's
          employment   or   independent    contractor's    active    contractual
          relationship.

               (c)  Specific  Performance.  If there is a breach  or  threatened
          breach of the provisions of this Section 6, Employer shall be entitled
          to an injunction  restraining Employee from such breach,  without bond
          or other  security.  Nothing  herein shall be construed as prohibiting
          Employer  from  pursuing  any  other   remedies  for  such  breach  or
          threatened breach.


          7. Covenant Not to Compete.

               (a)  Non-Competition  Covenant.  In return for the  consideration
          described in Section 4, Employee agrees that he shall not for a period

               termination  of  Employee's  employment)  or with  respect to any
               customer,  client or prospective  customer or client, of Employer
               or of any of its  affiliates in each case,  within the Geographic
               Area;

                    (ii) own, operate,  engage in, participate in, or contribute

               stockholder of, or lender to, or in any other  capacity,  in each
               case, any real estate,  timeshare product, service or product, or
               other which is the same as, similar to, or competes with Employer
               or its  affiliate's  services or products or which  compete  with
               Employer or its affiliate's business;

                    (iii)  (A)  call  on  any  Acquisition  Candidate  with  the
               knowledge of such Acquisition Candidate's status as such, for the
               purpose of  acquiring,  or


                                       4
<PAGE>
               arranging the acquisition of, that  Acquisition  Candidate by any
               Person  other than  Employer  or its  affiliates,  (B) induce any
               Person  which is a customer  of  Employer  or its  affiliates  to
               patronize any business directly or indirectly in competition with
               the  business  conducted  by  Employer  or  its  affiliates;  (C)
               canvass, solicit or accept from any Person which is a customer of
               Employer or its affiliates, any such competitive business; or (D)
               request or advise any Person  which is a customer  of Employer or
               its  affiliates,   or  its  or  their  successors;   "Acquisition
               Candidate"   means  (I)  any  Person  engaged  in  the  Timeshare
               Business,  or the purchase or development of real estate with the
               purpose of engaging in the Timeshare Business or (II) any project
               with respect to the  Timeshare  Business,  and in either case (i)
               which was called on by Employer or its affiliates,  in connection
               with the possible  acquisition  by Employer or its  affiliates of
               that Person or project,  or (ii) with respect  which  Employer or
               its affiliates has made an acquisition analysis.

               (b) Employee agrees and understands  that Employer's  business is
          highly competitive and that Employer has invested considerable sums of
          money in developing real estate and timeshare properties and services,
          training programs, sales programs,  pricing and marketing formulas and
          programs,  and account records for the proper servicing of its clients
          and potential clients.

               (c) Employee further agrees and understands that this covenant is
          necessary  for  the  protection  of  Employer  due to  its  legitimate
          interest  in  protecting  its  business  goodwill  and Trade  Secrets.
          Employee  further  agrees  and  understands   that,   because  of  the
          legitimate  interest of Employer in protecting  its business  goodwill
          and Trade  Secrets as well as the extensive  confidential  information
          and  special  knowledge  received  by  Employee  from  Employer,   the
          restrictions enumerated in Section 7(a) are not oppressive and are, in
          fact,  reasonable.  Employee also agrees and understands  that, due to
          the  necessity  of  this  covenant  and  the  adequate   consideration
          supporting  it, this  covenant  does not prevent  competition,  and in
          fact, it encourages Employer to entrust Employee with Trade Secrets.

               (d) If a court  of  competent  jurisdiction  determines  that the
          scope of any  provision  of this Section 7 is too broad to be enforced
          as written,  the parties  intended that the court reform the provision
          to  such  narrower  scope  as  it  determines  to  be  reasonable  and
          enforceable.

               (e)  Employee  agrees that if he breaches  this  covenant he will
          submit to the  rendition  of a temporary  restraining  order,  without
          prior notice, and thereafter to a temporary and permanent  injunction.
          Further,  Employee agrees to the jurisdiction of an appropriate  court
          in Harris County, Texas, for the enforcement of this covenant.
