     Section 2.  Non-Competition Agreement.   Employee  recognizes  that  the
 Employer's willingness to  enter into  this formal  employment Agreement  is
 induced primarily because of the covenants  and assurances made by  Employee
 herein, and that irrevocable  harm and damage will  be done to Employer  and
 the Clinic in the event that Employee competes with Employer within the area
 cited herein.  Therefore:

         a.  Employee agrees that during the  term of this Agreement  and
         for a  period of  one (1) year  thereafter, Employee  will  not,
         without the  prior written  consent of  Employer (which  consent
         shall not  be unreasonably  withheld provided  the activity  for
         which  consent  is  requested  does  not  adversely  affect  the
         operations of the Clinics), directly or indirectly own,  manage,
         operate, control, joint venture,  participate in the  management
         or control of, be  employed by, or lend  Employee's name to  any
         enterprise whatsoever not in  existence upon the Effective  Date
         of this Agreement having to do  with the provision or  marketing
         of any  chiropractic  or  related  services,  whether  inpatient
         (routine or ancillary)  or outpatient, or  any item(s) of  major
         equipment that are furnished, provided, or operated by  Employer
         in competition with Employer  within a ten  (10) mile radius  of
         the Clinic.

         b.  Should Employee  default in  the performance  of  Employee's
         obligation pursuant to  this Section, Employer  may enforce  any
         and all  remedies  available at  law  or in  equity,  including,
         without limitation, the right to seek injunctive relief, without
         the necessity of posting bond therefore, (Employee and  Employer
         hereby agree  that it  shall not  be necessary  on the  part  of
         Employer to  prove  irreparable  harm), the  right  to  sue  for
         damages, and the right  to immediately terminate this  Agreement
         with respect  to  Employee.   All  of  such  remedies  shall  be
         cumulative, and the pursuit of one shall not exclude any  other.

         c.  Employee further agrees that if any restriction contained in
         this Section is held by any  court of competent jurisdiction  to
         be unreasonable and unenforceable,  a portion thereof or  lesser
         restriction shall be  enforced in  its place  and the  remaining
         restrictions contained herein shall be enforced independently of
         each other.

         d.  Notwithstanding the  provisions of  Paragraph a. above  this
         Section 2, the  Employee may  invest in  the securities  of  any
         enterprise  (but   without   otherwise  participating   in   the
         activities of such enterprise) if (i) such securities are listed
         on any national  or regional  securities exchange  or have  been
         registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of
         1934 and (ii) the Employee does not beneficially own (as defined
         in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under  the Securities Exchange Act  of
         1934) in excess of 5% of  the outstanding capital stock of  such
         enterprise.

 by Employee of the provisions of the Article VI, Employee and Employer agree

     (ii) any  private disability plan  provided by the  Company. Payment  of

 such member.

     b.   In addition, the CFO agrees that for the duration of the Noncompete
 Term, he will not,  either directly or  indirectly: (i) make  any use of  or
 make known  to any  competing  person, firm,  or  corporation the  names  or
 addresses of any potential  or pending acquisition and/or  the names of  the
 patients of  any  member of  the  Company  Group or  any  other  information
 pertaining to said businesses, acquisitions, and/or patients; (ii) call  on,
 solicit or take away, or attempt  to call on, solicit  or take away, any  of
 the business, acquisitions,  and/or patients of  any member  of the  Company

 association with the Company or any  other member of the Company Group,  for
 commercial or  competitive purposes  either for  himself  or for  any  other
 person, firm, or corporation;  or (iii) solicit or  take away or attempt  to

 Agreement) by the  Company or  any other member  of the  Company Group,  for
 purposes of employment by or any consulting relationship with himself or any
 other person, firm or corporation.

 Section, the CFO may invest in the securities of any enterprise (but without

<PAGE>

     e.  The CFO agrees that if a court of competent jurisdiction  determines
 that the length of  time or any other  restriction, or portion thereof,  set
 forth in this Section 4.3 is overly restrictive and unenforceable, the court
 may reduce or modify  such restrictions to those  which it deems  reasonable
 and enforceable under the circumstances, and as so reduced or modified,  the
 parties hereto agree that  if a court  of competent jurisdiction  determines
 that any provision of this Section is invalid or against public policy,  the
 remaining provisions of  this Section and  the remainder  of this  Agreement
 shall not be affected thereby, and shall remain in full force and effect.

     f.  The CFO acknowledges that the business of the Company and the  other
 members of the Company Group is national in scope and that the  restrictions
 imposed by  this  Agreement  are legitimate,  reasonable  and  necessary  to
 protect  the  Company's  and  the  other  members  of  the  Company  Group's
 investment in their respective businesses and the goodwill thereof.  The CFO
 acknowledges that  the  scope and  duration  of the  restrictions  contained
 herein are reasonable in light of the time that the CFO has been engaged  in
 the business of  the Company, the  CFO's reputation in  the markets for  the
 businesses of the Company and the other members of the Company-Group and the
 CFO's relationship with the  patients of the members  of the Company  Group.

 burdensome to the CFO in light  of the consideration paid therefore and  the
 other  opportunities  that  remain  open  to  the  CFO.  Moreover,  the  CFO
 acknowledges that he has other means available to him for the pursuit of his
 livelihood.

     9.   The CFO acknowledges and agrees that the Company's remedies at  law
 for a breach or threatened breach of  any of the provisions of this  Section
 would be inadequate and, in recognition  of this fact, the CFO agrees  that,
 in the event  of such  a breach  or threatened  breach, in  addition to  any
 remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to
 obtain equitable  relief  in the  form  of specific  performance,  temporary
