unless required by a court of law; provided, however, that Consultant may use
information with respect to Olympic's interest in the Goliad County, Texas
project (the "Goliad Project") for the purpose of purchasing the Goliad Project
from Olympic at cost. The provisions of this Section 4 shall continue in effect
notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement and shall be in addition to
Consultant's common law obligations to Olympic as an employee, officer and
director (or as a former employee, officer and director).

     5.   No Conflicting Agreements. Consultant represents and warrants to

such restriction shall exist as to the information relating to the Goliad
Project if Consultant (or an affiliate thereof) purchases such project from
Olympic at cost. In the event that the terms of this Section 7 should ever be
deemed to exceed the time or geographic limitations permitted by applicable law,
then such terms shall be reformed to the maximum time or geographic limitations
permitted by applicable law. In the event of a breach by Consultant of the terms
of this Section 7, Olympic shall be entitled to an injunction restraining him
from engaging or participating in such business or activity. However, nothing in
this Section 7 shall be construed as prohibiting Olympic from pursuing any other
remedies available to Olympic for the breach by Consultant of the terms of this
Section 7, or any other terms of this Agreement, including the recovery of
damages from Consultant. The term of this Section 7 shall continue in effect
notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement. The restrictive covenants
upon Consultant set forth in this Section 7 are the essence of this Agreement:

parties hereto shall assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties

substantially all of the assets of Olympic, this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding on the successor to Olympic's business and assets.
