     office or the Company's headquarters.

7.  Injunctive Relief and Severability.
    -----------------------------------

    i.   You agree that the remedy at law for any breach of the provisions of
         this letter agreement shall be inadequate and the Company shall be
         entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to any
         other remedy it might have.

    ii.  The Company and you agree and acknowledge that the covenant not to

         consideration of substantial compensation payable under this letter
         agreement. In consequence of this the Company and you agree and
         acknowledge that the duration, scope, and geographic area included in
         such covenant not to compete are fair, reasonable, necessary, and
         appropriate, and will not prevent you from engaging in profitable
         business activities or employment. Nevertheless, should a court
         determine that such duration, scope, or geographic areas are not
         reasonable, such restrictions shall be interpreted, modified, or
         rewritten to include as much of such duration, scope, or geographic
         areas as will render such restrictions valid and enforceable.

    iii. The Company and you intend to and do hereby confer jurisdiction to
         enforce this letter agreement upon the courts of any jurisdiction
         within the geographical scope of the agreements contained herein. In
         the event that the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions
         shall hold such agreements wholly or partly unenforceable by reason of
         the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the
         Company and you that such determination shall not bar or in any way
         affect the Company's right to relief hereunder in the courts of any
         other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of any such agreement,
         as to breaches of such agreements in such other respective
         jurisdictions, the above agreements as they relate to each jurisdiction
         being, for this purpose, severable into independent agreements.
<PAGE>

                                      -6-

8.  Severability.
    ------------

    In the event any of the provisions of this letter agreement shall be held by
    a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the
    other provisions of this letter agreement shall remain in full force and
    effect.

    nature survive the termination of your employment with the Company shall so
    survive.

10. Governing Law.
