            term of this Agreement and that any such trade secret or
            confidential information, regardless of whether Employee alone or
            with others developed any such trade secret or confidential
            information, shall be and shall remain the property of the Company
            or its affiliates or subsidiaries. During the term of this Agreement
            and after termination of employment, Employee shall not either
            voluntarily or involuntarily, on either his own account, as a member
            of a firm, or on behalf of another employee or otherwise, directly
            or indirectly use or reveal to any person, partnership, corporation
            or association any trade secret or confidential information of the
            Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Such trade secrets
            shall include, but shall not be limited to, business plans,
            marketing plans, or programs, any non-public financial information,

            lists. The terms "trade secrets" shall not include information
            generally available to the public or a governmental agency. Employee
            will not make available to any person, partnership, corporation or
            association, or retain after termination of employment, any Employer
            policy manuals, printed materials or computer disc containing

      4.2   Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges that the restrictions
            contained in the Section 4 are a reasonable and necessary protection
            of the immediate interests of the Company and its affiliates and
            subsidiaries and that any violation of these restrictions would
            cause substantial injury to the Company. In the event of a breach or
            threatened breach by Employee of these restrictions, the Company
            shall be entitled to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction
            for any injunction, without the necessity of posting a bond,
            restraining Employee from such breach or threatened breach;
            provided, however, that the right to apply for any injunction shall
            not be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other
            available remedies for such breach or threatened breach.

      4.3   Non Competition. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason,
            Employee shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the
            Confidentiality and Non Compete Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
            A.

5.    Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
      to the benefits of the Employee, the Company and their respective heirs,
      executors, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that
      Employee may not assign his rights hereunder without the prior written
      consent of the Company and may not assign his obligations hereunder. The
      Company may assign either its rights or obligations hereunder to any of
      its subsidiaries or affiliated corporation or to any successor to
      substantially all of the assets or business of the Company.

6.    Modification, Waiver or Amendment. The provisions of this Agreement may
      not be modified, amended or waived except by a written instrument executed
      by the Company and Employee. The waiver of any provision of this Agreement
      by either party shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent
      occurrences or transactions unless the waiver, by its terms, constitutes a
      continuing waiver.

7.    Arbitration. Any disputes related to or arising out of this Agreement or
      otherwise relating to Employee's employment with the Company shall be
      subject to mandatory binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in
      accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"),
      except that the Company may, in place of or in additional to arbitration,
      elect to pursue court remedies for any breach of Section 4 of this
      Agreement. The arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the AAA's
      rules for selecting a single arbitrator provided that, if AAA rules call
      for selecting an arbitrator by making strikes against a list of
      candidates, in the event that there is an odd number of candidates
      Employee shall have the first strike and in the event that there is an
      even number of candidates that Company shall have the first strike. Except
      to the extend contrary to this Agreement or the Company's written policies
      regarding arbitration with Employee, the procedural rules that shall
      govern the arbitration shall be the rules of the AAA, or in the event that
      a particular procedural issue is not governed by the foregoing, the
      Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure shall apply except that discovery may be
      conducted only upon agreement of the parties or order of the

                                       7
<PAGE>

      arbitrator upon good cause shown, and in issuing discovery orders, the
      arbitrator shall consider that the parties have chosen arbitration to
      provide for the efficient and inexpensive resolution of disputes. The
      forum for the arbitration shall be Phoenix, Arizona. The applicable
      substantive law shall be the law chosen to apply to disputes provided by
      this Agreement. A party may initiate arbitration under this Section by
      making a demand for arbitration and shall serve with that demand a
      detailed statement setting forth with particularity the factual and legal
      basis for each claim asserted. In the event that the party initiating
      arbitration fails to serve on the opposing party the detailed statement of
      claims required by this Section, the opposing party shall be entitled to
      move to dismiss the arbitration, and upon such motion, such claims shall
      be dismissed. Upon the issuance of a decision, the arbitrator shall issue
      written findings of fact and conclusions of law. The decision of the
      arbitrator shall be in accordance with the express terms and conditions of
      this Agreement. Each party shall pay its own attorneys' fees and costs and
      shall share the arbitration fees provided that the nonprevailing party
      shall reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys' fees
      and costs, including the arbitration fees, incurred in connection with the
      arbitration. Arbitration proceeding and any information related thereto
      shall be kept confidential. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR AGREEMENT
      TO ARBITRATE UNDER THIS SECTION MEANS THAT TRIAL BY JURY OR APPEAL WILL
      NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY DISPUTES RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
      AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO EMPLOYEE'S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY
      INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES INVOLVING ALLEGED EMPLOYMENT
      DISCRIMINATION, HARASSMENT, WRONGFUL TERMINATION, AND ANY OTHER CLAIMS
      ARISING OUT OF FEDERAL OR STATE STATUTES, COMMON LAW OR PUBLIC POLICY,
      EXCEPT THAT THIS SECTION DOES NOT RESTRICT THE RIGHT TO PURSUE COURT
      REMEDIES FOR ANY BREACH OF SECTION 4 OF THIS AGREEMENT.

8.    No Mitigation. Any compensation earned by Employee from another employer
      or from employment not in violation of the provisions of Section 2.2 or
      Section 4 hereof, shall not reduce any payment to which Employee is
      entitled under the terms of this Agreement.

9.    Miscellaneous.

      9.4   Attorneys' Fees. In the event of any litigation between the parties
            hereto arising out of the terms, conditions and obligations

            provision of this Agreement.

      9.7   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
