     Agreement, the Company shall also reimburse Executive for one round-trip,
     first-class airfare per month for his spouse from Arizona or Los Angeles

     a business association related to the Business with any person, firm,
     association, partnership, corporation or other entity which conducts or
     engages in, the Business, or (b) take any action, directly or indirectly,
     to finance, guarantee or provide any other material assistance to any
     person, firm, association, partnership, corporation or other entity
     which conducts or engages in the Business, or (c) influence or attempt to
     influence any person, firm, association, partnership, corporation or other
     entity who is a contracting party with the Company or its subsidiaries to
