          by the Company to preserve  its  interest  in the  Material,  or other

     supplied to, obtained by, or which comes to the knowledge of the Consultant

     opinion of the Company, give rise to a conflict of

                                                                      [Initials]

     losses, claims, damages, actions, causes of action, costs and expenses that

     pursuant to the Agreement.

16.  The  Company  will name the  Consultant  as an  additional  insured for the
     Company's  Business at no cost to the Consultant,  subject to the Company's
     ability to obtain such  insurance at premiums  comparable  to those paid by
     the previous owners of the Business.

Termination

17.  The Company may terminate this Agreement forthwith, without notice upon any
     of the following:

     (a)  the failure or refusal of the Consultant to provide the Services under

     (f)  on the death or disability of the Consultant; or

     (g)  any  material  breach  (not  covered by any of the above  clauses  (a)
          through (f)) of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

18.  If the Company  terminates the Consultant  during the Term for a reason set
     forth in  paragraph  17, the Company  shall not owe or be  obligated to the
     Consultant  for any payment  other for  payments  already due and owing for
     Services already performed pursuant to this Agreement.

                                                                      [Initials]

19.  If the Company  fails to make  payment to the  Consultant  of moneys  owed,
     within fifteen (15) business days of the Company's  receipt of invoices for
     Services  rendered,  the Consultant may after,  providing written notice to
     the Company  terminate  this  Agreement  only if the Company  does not make
     payment to the Consultant  within thirty (30) days of the Company's receipt
     of such notice.  In the event of  termination  under this paragraph 19, all
     monies  remaining to be paid  hereunder  shall become  immediately  due and
     payable.

Non-Waiver

20.  No  provision  of this  Agreement  and no breach by the  Consultant  of any
     provision  shall be deemed  to have been  waived  unless  the  waiver is in
     writing signed by the Company.

21.  The written  waiver by the Company of any breach of any  provision  of this
     Agreement by the Consultant  shall not be deemed to be permanent  waiver of
     the  provision  or of any  subsequent  breach  of  the  same  or any  other
     provision of this Agreement.

Non Competition

22.  Weintraub  covenants  and agrees with the  Company  that for a period of 15
     years from the Effective  Date,  save with the prior written consent of the
     Company,  he will not, either individually or in partnership or conjunction
     with any other person or persons,  including  without  limitation any firm,
     association,  syndicate,  company  or  corporation,  as  principal,  agent,
     shareholder,  consultant,  employee or in any other manner whatsoever carry
     on, or be engage in, or concerned with, or advise, lend money to, guarantee
     the debts or  obligations  of, or permit his name to be used in  connection
     with the provision of funeral, burial and cremation services, including the
     provision  and  sale of  pre-need  cremation  services,  in the  States  of
     California,  Florida  or New  York;  provided  that  nothing  herein  shall
     preclude  Weintraub from being a security holder of a public  company,  the
     securities  of which are listed on any public  stock  exchange  or over the
     counter market, if the number of securities beneficially held by Weintraub,
     directly or indirectly, are such that he is not in a position to materially
     influence the conduct of its affairs.

23.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if  any  restriction  as to  time,  area,
     capacity  or  activity  imposed  on the  Consultant  by this  Agreement  is
     determined to be unreasonable or  unenforceable  pursuant to an arbitration
     proceeding as contemplated in paragraph 30 herein (the "Restriction"),  the
     Consultant  agrees that upon receiving  notice from the Company  specifying
     inclusion in this Agreement of a lesser time or area,  fewer  capacities or
     activities  or  lesser  scope  than  now  contained   herein  (the  "Lesser
     Restriction"),  this  Agreement  will  be  deemed  to  be  amended  by  the
     substitution  of the  Lesser  Restriction  for the  Restriction,  with  the
     retroactive effect to the Effective Date.

                                                                      [Initials]

                                       -7-

24.  Weintraub  acknowledges  that the provisions of paragraphs 22 to 27 of this
     Agreement  have  been  considered  by him  and  are,  with  respect  to his
     interests and the interests of the Company, reasonable as to time, area and
     extent, having regard to all circumstances of the transaction  contemplated
     by this Agreement.

25.  The parties to this  Agreement  acknowledges  that a breach by Weintraub of
     any of the  covenants  in this  paragraph 22 would result in damages to the
     Company  and the  Company  would not  adequately  be  compensated  for such
     damages by monetary award. Accordingly,  Weintraub agrees that in the event
     of such breach, in addition to all other remedies  available to the Company
     at law or in equity, the Company is,  notwithstanding  paragraph 30 of this
     Agreement, entitled to apply to a court of competent equitable jurisdiction
     in the  Consultant's  domicile,  except in the case of a material breach of
     this Agreement by the Company, for such relief by way of restraining order,
     injunction, decree or otherwise, as may be appropriate to ensure compliance
     with the provisions of paragraph 22.

26.  The parties agree that  paragraphs  22 to 27 of this  Agreement are binding
     and  enforceable  and  will  survive  the  expiration  of the  Term  or any
     termination of this Agreement under paragraph 17 herein.

27.  The  parties  agree  that  all  restrictions  in  paragraphs  22 to 27  are
     necessary  and  fundamental  to  the  protection  of  the  Business  by the
     Operating  Entities and are reasonable  and valid,  and all defenses to the
     strict enforcement thereof by the Company are hereby waived by Weintraub.

     either  party may be required or may desire to give or deliver to the other
