<PAGE>

                  (ii) required by law. This Section 2.2(a)(i) shall not be
construed as preventing RCG from using its general skills, knowledge and

unlawful use or disclosure by some other Person or that is required to be
disclosed by RCG by law or by a court of competent jurisdiction.

      2.3 Disputes or Controversies. RCG recognizes that should a dispute or
controversy arising from or relating to this Agreement be submitted for
adjudication to any court, arbitration panel or other third party, the
preservation of the secrecy of Confidential Information may be jeopardized. All
pleadings, documents, testimony and records relating to any such adjudication
shall be maintained in secrecy and shall be available for inspection by RMK,
RCG, and their respective attorneys and experts, who shall agree, in advance and
in writing, to receive and maintain all such information in secrecy, except as
may be limited by them in writing.

                                   ARTICLE 3.

                      NON-COMPETITION AND NON-INTERFERENCE

      3.2 Covenants of RCG. In consideration of the acknowledgments by RCG, the
Statement of Purpose and the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, RCG covenants that it will not, directly or indirectly:

            (a) at any time during the Restricted Period, engage or invest in,

                                       2
<PAGE>

affiliates with respect to the Business (each a "Competitor"), in each case in
the Restricted Area; provided, however, that RCG may purchase or otherwise
acquire up to (but not more than) 5% of any class of securities of any
enterprise (but without otherwise participating in the activities of such
enterprise) if 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;

            (b) at any time during the Restricted Period, solicit business of
the same or similar type being carried on by RMK solely with respect to the
Business from any Person known by RCG to be a customer of RMK with respect to
the Business within the Restricted Area;

            (c) whether for RCG's own account or the account of any other Person
(i) at any time during the Restricted Period, solicit, employ or otherwise

in any manner induce or attempt to induce any employee of RMK to terminate his
employment with RMK; or (ii) at any time during the Restricted Period, knowingly

            (f) For purposes of this Section 3.2, the term "Restricted Period"
means the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth
anniversary of the Closing Date. If any covenant in this Section 3.2 is held to
be unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, such covenant shall be
considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time and geographic area, and
such lesser scope, time or geographic area, or all of them, as a court of
competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not
against public policy, shall be effective, binding and enforceable against RCG.
If RCG shall be found to be in violation of this Agreement, the period of time
applicable to any covenant in this Section 3.2 shall be extended by the duration
of any violation by RCG of such covenant.

                                   ARTICLE 4.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

      4.1 Injunctive Relief and Additional Remedy. RCG acknowledges that the
injury that would be suffered by RMK as a result of a breach of the provisions
of this Agreement (including any provision of Articles 2 and 3) would be
irreparable and that an award of monetary damages alone to RMK for such a breach
would be an inadequate remedy. RMK shall have the right, in addition to any
other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or

                                       3
<PAGE>

threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this
Agreement, and RMK shall not be obligated to post bond or other security in
seeking such relief.

      4.2 Covenants of Articles 2 and 3 are Independent Covenants. RMK and RCG
have independently consulted their respective counsel and have been advised in
all respects concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such covenants, with
specific regard to the nature of the Business. RCG's covenants in Articles 2 and
3 are independent covenants and the existence of any claim by RCG against RMK
under this Agreement or otherwise shall not excuse RCG's breach of any covenant
in Articles 2 and 3.

      4.3 Representations and Warranties by RCG. RCG represents and warrants to
RMK that the execution and delivery by RCG of this Agreement do not, and the
performance by RCG of RCG's obligations hereunder will not, with or without the
giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, (a) violate any judgment,
writ, injunction or order of any court, arbitrator or governmental agency
applicable to RCG or (b) conflict with, result in the breach of any provisions
of or the termination of, or constitute a default under, RCG's Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, or any agreement to which RCG is a party or by which
RCG is or may be bound.

      4.4 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are
cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by either
party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will
operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or privilege shall preclude any other or
further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
(a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one
party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right
unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by
a party shall be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is
given and (c) no notice to or demand on one party shall be deemed to be a waiver
of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice
or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this
Agreement.

      4.5 Binding Effect; Delegation of Duties Prohibited. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns, including any entity with which RMK or RCG
may merge or consolidate or to which all or substantially all of its assets may
be transferred. The duties and covenants of RCG under this Agreement may not be
delegated, transferred or otherwise assigned, except pursuant to such merger,
consolidation or sale of substantially all of RCG's assets.

      4.6 Notices. All notices, consents, waivers and other communications under
this Agreement must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
when (a) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) sent by
electronic mail, provided that a copy is mailed by registered mail, return
receipt requested or (c) when received by the addressee, if sent by a nationally
recognized overnight delivery service (receipt requested), in each case to the
