conditions, or provisions, as applicable, of its Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws or of any security interest, deed of trust, debt instrument or loan

                  (c) Capital Stock. The authorized capital stock of the Company
as of the date hereof consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 9,589,956

its employees in place of Gayle Walker as a signatory on Company bank accounts

the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there arises at
any time, or from time to time, situations where current obligations exceed the
Company's financial ability at that time to pay all such obligations as they
mature, the allocation of any payments to third parties and to B.R. shall be
subject to the exercise by the Board of Directors of the Company of its
reasonable business judgment and fiduciary duty to the Company's shareholders.

breach.

The right to terminate this Agreement as herein provided shall be cumulative and
in addition to any other rights and remedies the parties may be entitled to
pursue under applicable law. The exercise of one or more of such rights or
remedies shall not impair the rights of either party to exercise any other right

previously accrued, and remain to be performed as of the effective date of
termination.

         11. CONFIDENTIALITY. B.R. recognizes and agrees that the Business of

financial affairs of the Company. Accordingly, B.R. agrees that during the term
of this Agreement and at all times thereafter it will:

                                       5

<PAGE>

                (a) Keep secret and confidential all such confidential
information, trade secrets, proprietary trade practices, customer and supplier
lists and proprietary business practices of the Company (written or unwritten),
and B.R. shall not divulge, disclose or reveal for any reason or in any manner
to any person who is not an officer, director or employee of the Company any of
the foregoing information; but excluding information:

                           (i) that has been disclosed by the Company to the
public;

                           (ii) that has been received by B.R. from a third
party without breaching an obligation owed to the Company; or

                           (iii) that is generally known in the trade or
industry or that has been disclosed to a third party by the Company without
similar restriction.

                  (b) Not use or aid others in using, directly or indirectly,
the same in competition with the Company, unless required by a valid order of a
court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction;

                  (c) Not:

                           (i) offer, induce, solicit, influence or attempt to
influence any employee of the Company to terminate his or her employment with
the Company for the purpose of working for a competitor of the Company;

                           (ii) influence or attempt to influence any agent,
customer or supplier who has a business relationship with the Company to cease
or adversely alter that business relationship; or

                           (iii) contact, solicit or do business with any person
who is, or has been at any time during the two years preceding the termination
of this Agreement, a customer of the Company for the purpose of diverting,
soliciting or accepting any business in competition with the Company.

In addition, upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, B.R. shall not
retain or remove, without the Company's advance written consent, any list, data,
book, record, manual, drawing, document, schedule, source code, specification,
computer tape, program, diskette or software or other written or recorded
information pertaining to the business and financial affairs of the Company.

         12. NONCOMPETITION. In consideration of the compensation payable to
B.R. hereunder, during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2)
years after termination of this Agreement by either B.R. or the Company, B.R.
will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, participate in,
undertake any employment with or have any interest in any business enterprise

                                       6

<PAGE>

within the United States which is competitive with the Business. B.R. expressly
acknowledges and stipulates that the time and area restrictions of the foregoing
obligations do not unduly oppress B.R.'s present or future business
opportunities. In addition, B.R. acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in
Sections 11 and 12 hereof are reasonable limitations necessary to protect the
legitimate business interests of the Company in guarding the trade secrets,
preserving the goodwill of its customers and business, preventing solicitation
of its existing customers, and preventing unauthorized use of its proprietary or
confidential business lists, records and information. To the extent that the
duration, geographical area, or scope of activity of any of the preceding
restrictions would cause them to be unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction,
the restrictions automatically will be reformed for purposes of enforcement in
that jurisdiction to a duration, geographical area, or scope of activity that is
valid and enforceable in that jurisdiction. Reformation of a restriction to
validate its enforcement in any particular jurisdiction, however, will not
affect the enforcement of the restriction as stated in any other jurisdiction in
which it is enforceable as stated. Also, the invalidity of a restriction in a
particular jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforcement of the
restriction in another jurisdiction where it is otherwise valid.

         13. REMEDIES FOR BREACH. B.R. stipulates that a breach by it of any of
the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 11 and 12 of this Agreement will
diminish the value of the Company and will cause irreparable and continuing
injury to the Company for which an adequate legal remedy will not exist.
Accordingly, the Company is hereby granted and shall have the right of
injunction (any requirements for posting of bonds for injunction are hereby
expressly waived) and such other and further relief, both in law and in equity,
as the Company may be entitled to receive under the laws of the State of
California in the event B.R. breaches or threatens to breach any of the
covenants or agreements contained herein.

         14. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

         15. INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) INDEMNIFICATION OF B.R. The Company shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless B.R., its agents, representatives, employees, officers,
directors and representatives from and against any and all losses, liabilities,
claims, damages, deficiencies and expenses, including interest, penalties, court
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees ("Losses") which may be incurred by or
suffered by persons or entities and which arise out of or result from any breach
of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company contained
in this agreement or which is related to the operation of the Business prior to
the Effective Date, or to the operation of the Business after the date hereof
unless arising from B.R.'s negligence, misconduct or any breach of its
contractual duties hereunder.

         16. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement and the rights and obligations created

by operation of the law, without the express prior written consent of the
Company. Any assignment or subcontracting without such consent shall be null and
void.

         17. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
under the laws of the State of California without regard to any conflict-of-laws
rules.

covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the other party, but
such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation,

with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

         19. AMENDMENT. Except as provided otherwise herein, this Agreement may
be amended, modified or supplemented only by written agreement of each of the

         21. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
