                            NONSOLICITATION AGREEMENT

         Confidentiality, Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement (the
"Agreement") effective as of April 27, 1998 among Guardian International, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and Richard Clark ("Clark").

                                    RECITALS

         A. The Company, Clark, David Weston ("Weston"), Jeff Chivers
("Chivers") and Alan Dubow ("Dubow" and together with Clark, Weston and Chivers,
the "Sellers") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Agreement")
effective as of April 17, 1998 pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase
all of the outstanding common stock, $.15 par value per share (the "Common
Stock") of Precision Security Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation, from
Sellers.

         B. Clark acknowledges that he will obtain confidential and proprietary
information relating to the business of the Company as a result of consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Agreement, and acknowledges that
the covenants not to compete and confidentiality provisions in this Agreement
are reasonable.

                                    AGREEMENT

         l.       CONFIDENTIALITY.

                  a. Clark agrees that he will hold in a fiduciary capacity for
the benefit of the Company, and shall not, directly or indirectly, use or
disclose, except as authorized by the Company, any Confidential Information (as
defined below) that Clark may have or acquire (whether or not developed or
compiled by Clark and whether or not Clark has been authorized to have access to
such Confidential Information). The term "Confidential Information" as used in
this Agreement shall mean and include any material information, data and
know-how relating to the business of the Company that is disclosed to Clark by
the Company or known by him as a result of his relationship with the Company (or
a company acquired by the Company) and not generally within the public domain
(whether constituting a trade secret or not) including, without limitation, the
following: financial information, supply and service information, marketing
information, personnel information, customer information and information with
respect to any corporate affairs that the Company treats as confidential.

                  b. The term "Confidential Information" does not include
information that has become generally available to the public by the act of the
Company or by the act of one who has the right to disclose such information
without violating any right of the Company or the customer to which such
information pertains.


<PAGE>

                  c. Nothing in this Section 1 shall prevent Clark from
disclosing any Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is
required by law or any order of a court or government authority with
jurisdiction, provided, however, that Clark agrees to give the Company advance
written notice as soon as possible of the Confidential Information required to
be disclosed, and at the Company's request, to use his best efforts to obtain
assurances that the Confidential Information required to be disclosed will be
maintained on a confidential basis and will not be disclosed to a greater degree
than required by law.

                  d. These rights of the Company are in addition to those rights
the Company has under the common law or applicable statutes for the protection
of trade secrets.

         2. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. Clark agrees that he will not engage or
participate, directly or indirectly, in any business that competes with the
business of the Company in Dade County, Broward and Palm Beach County, Florida,
whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner,
stockholder, corporate officer, director, or other representative capacity, for
a period of four (4) years after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Clark may (i) hold an investment representing less than a 5% interest
in any publicly held entity engaging in a business that competes with the
business of the Company and (ii) be an employee, employer, consultant, agent,
principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director or other
representative of an entity that does not engage in burglar alarm, fire alarm,
closed circuit television and electronic access and control and central
monitoring services; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Clark agrees to refer customers
seeking monitoring services to Company. In the event any court shall refuse to
enforce any portion of the covenant set forth in this Section 2, then such
unenforceable portion shall be deemed eliminated and severed from said contract
for the purposes of said court's proceedings to the extent necessary to permit
the remaining portions of the covenant to be enforced.

         3. NONSOLICITATION. Clark agrees that he will not, from the date of
this Agreement and forever thereafter, for himself or on behalf of or in
conjunction with any third party solicit any employee of the Company or its
subsidiaries to leave such employment; PROVIDED, that the posting by Clark or
any entity with which Clark is involved of general advertisements soliciting
employees shall not constitute the solicitation of any employee of the Company
or its subsidiaries. Clark further agrees that, from the date of this Agreement
and for an unlimited period thereafter, he will not directly or indirectly, on
his own behalf or in the service of or on behalf of others, solicit, divert or
appropriate, or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate, to any competing
business, any customers of the Company or its subsidiaries existing as of the
date of this Agreement. If, as of the date of this Agreement, Clark is engaged
in or associated with the planning or implementing of any project, program or
venture involving the Company and a third party or parties (a "Venture"), or any
discussions, analysis or negotiations with respect to an investment in, merger,
acquisition or purchase, directly or indirectly, of the stock, assets, or
business of any entity (an "Acquisition"), all rights in the Venture and the
Acquisition and any opportunity to make any investment in the entity to be so
acquired (the "Target") shall belong to the Company and shall constitute a
corporate opportunity belonging exclusively to the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that this Section shall not apply to any Venture or Acquisition involving Clark
and Green Balance Company, Inc. Except as approved by the Board of Directors of
the

                                       2

<PAGE>

Company, Clark shall not be entitled to any interest in any such Venture or to
invest or solicit any third party to invest in the Target or consummate the
Acquisition, or to any commission, finder's fee or other compensation in
connection therewith. In the event any court shall refuse to enforce any portion
of the covenants set forth in this Section 3, then such unenforceable portion
shall be deemed eliminated and severed from said contract for the purposes of
said court's proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining
portions of the covenant to be enforced.

         4. REMEDIES. The parties acknowledge that the Company would not have an
adequate remedy at law for money damages if the covenants contained in Sections
1, 2 or 3 were not complied with in accordance with their terms. The parties
therefore agree that in the event of an anticipated breach or actual breach by
Clark of the provisions of Sections 1, 2 or 3, the Company shall be entitled to
inform in writing all of Clark's potential or new employers, partners,
shareholders, officers, directors or borrowers of the terms of this Agreement.
Because the breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants in Sections 1, 2
or 3 will result in immediate and irreparable injury to the Company, Clark
agrees that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Clark
from violating Sections 1, 2 and 3 to the fullest extent allowed by law. Clark
covenants and agrees that if he violates any of the covenants and agreements in
Sections 1, 2 or 3, the Company shall be entitled to an accounting and repayment
of all profits, compensation, commissions, remuneration or benefits which Clark
directly or indirectly realizes or may realize as a result of or in connection
with a violation. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from
pursuing all other legal or equitable remedies that may be available to it for a
breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages.

         5. TRANSITION PERIOD. For a period of six months after the date of this
Agreement, Clark agrees to provide assistance to the Company upon the request of
the Company at a rate of $300 per day, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

         6. ASSURANCES. The parties agree to execute, acknowledge, deliver and
file, or cause to be executed, acknowledged, delivered and filed, all further
instruments, agreements or documents as may be necessary to consummate the
transactions provided for in this Agreement and to do all further acts necessary
to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

         7. WAIVER. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to
have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any
provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged
with the waiver or estoppel. No written waiver shall be deemed a continuing
waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each waiver shall operate only as
to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of
the term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that
specifically waived.

         8. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without reference to its
conflicts of law principles.

demand, all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses for the prevailing party.
