course  of  his/her  employment  and  for  the one  (1)  year  period  following
termination of his employment ("Restricted Period"),  Executive shall not within
North  America  ("Restricted  Area"),  in any manner,  directly  or  indirectly,
through   intermediaries  or  other  persons  or  entities,   either  as  owner,
shareholder,  director,  officer, agent, consultant,  creditor,  representative,
investor,  partner, Executive, or on behalf of any other person or entity, or in
any other capacity whatsoever (i) engage in, assist, provide capital,  services,
advice or information to, or in any manner whatsoever become associated with any
business or enterprise that offers products or services similar in type, nature,
style,  function  or  purpose  with  those  offered  by the  Corporation  or its
affiliates or any business or enterprise that is competitive  with or similar to
any business  conducted by the Corporation or its  affiliates,  (ii) contact for
any  business  purpose,  solicit or attempt to solicit any  supplier,  customer,

     11. Enforceability. Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that a loss
arising  from a breach of any  provision  under  Sections  8, 9 or 10 may not be
reasonably  and equitably  compensated by money  damages.  Therefore,  Executive
agrees  that in a case of any such  breach,  Corporation  shall be  entitled  to
injunctive and/or other extraordinary  relief in order to prevent Executive from
engaging in any of the foregoing  prohibited  activities,  which relief shall be
cumulative  and in  addition to any and all other  additional  remedies to which
Corporation  may be  entitled  at law or equity.  In the event that any court of
competent jurisdiction shall determine that any part or all of the provisions of
Section  10 is  unenforceable  or  invalid  due to the  scope of the  activities
restrained,  the geographical extent of the restraints imposed,  the duration of
the restraints imposed, or otherwise, the parties hereby expressly intend, agree
and stipulate that under such circumstances,  the provisions of Section 10 shall
be  enforceable  to the fullest  extent and scope  permitted by law and that the
parties shall be bound by any judicial  modifications to the provisions  therein
which said court of  competent  jurisdiction  may make in order to carry out the
intentions of the parties as provided herein.

     12. Governing Law and Arbitration.  This Agreement and all disputes arising
out of Executive's  employment  shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of  Florida,  notwithstanding  the fact  that  either
party is or may hereafter  become domiciled or located in a different state. Any
dispute,  controversy  or claim arising out of or relating to this  Agreement or
Executive's employment,  whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise shall be
resolved at arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association,  except for any  equitable or  injunctive  relief sought under this
Agreement.  The parties agree that any  arbitration  award rendered on any claim
submitted  to  arbitration  shall be final and binding  upon the parties and not
subject to appeal and that judgment may be entered upon any arbitration award by
any  circuit  court  located  in  Florida  or by any  other  court of  competent
jurisdiction.

allowed it by law shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other.
