     directly or indirectly  through any person,  firm or corporation with which
     he is  affiliated,  (i)  endeavor or attempt,  directly or  indirectly,  to

8.   Remedies.  Employee  agrees that in the event he is terminated for cause as
     provided herein, that he shall be required to comply with the provisions of

     by either party hereto, the non-breaching party shall be entitled, if it so
     elects,  to  institute  and  prosecute  proceedings  at law or in equity to
     obtain  damages  with  respect to such  breach or to enforce  the  specific
     performance  of this  Agreement  by the other or to enjoin  the other  from

     to the Employee upon notice of acceleration to the Company.  If the Company
     fails to immediately pay in full all amounts due to the Employee under this

     maximum  legal rate allowed under  applicable  state and federal laws until

     regard to the conflicts of law principles  thereof.  Any proceeding arising

     New York, New York.

12.  Waiver. The failure or delay of a party at any time to require  performance
     by another party of any provision of this Agreement,  even if known,  shall
     not affect the right of such party to require performance of that provision
     or to exercise any right, power or remedy hereunder,  and any waiver by any
     party of any  breach  of any  provision  of this  Agreement  should  not be
     construed  as a waiver  of any  continuing  or  succeeding  breach  of such
     provisions,  a waiver of the  provision  itself,  or a waiver of any right,
     power or remedy under this  Agreement.  No notice to or demand on any party
     in any case shall,  of itself,  entitle  such party to any other or

     further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

     this  Agreement,  the  prevailing  party  shall be  entitled to recover his
     reasonable costs and attorney's fees from the non-prevailing party. As used
     herein,  reasonable  costs  and  attorney's  fees  include  any  costs  and
     attorney's fees in any appellate proceeding.
