6.   COVENANT AGAINST COMPETITION

7.

     The  Employee  acknowledges  that the  services he will  render  during the
course of his  employment  with Employer are of a special and unusual  character
with a  unique  value  to  Employer,  the loss of  which  cannot  adequately  be
compensated by damages in action at law. In view of the unique value to Employer
of the services of Employee and because of the confidential information obtained
by or disclosed to Employee  during the course of his employment  with Employer,
and as a material  inducement  to Employer to enter into this  Agreement  and to
employ Employee,  Employee covenants and agrees that during the entire period of
time Employee  remains in Employer's  employ,  and for a period of two (2) years
thereafter,  he will not, except upon written request of Employer,  or the prior
written  permission  of  Employer,  directly  or  indirectly,  by  himself or in

Employer,  for his own benefit or for the benefit of any other person,  firm, or
corporation, by performing any of the activities which he performed while in the
employ of  Employer,  within the County of Ada,  State of Idaho and within a 100
mile radius of County of Ada, State of Idaho;  nor shall he, except upon request
of Employer, engage in any activity during said period for the purpose of:

                   (A) soliciting from any customer,  any service competing with
                   that sold by Employer; or

                   (B)  diverting  or  taking  away any  customer  or  client of
                   Employer;  or

                   (C)   individually  or  on  behalf   of  any  person,   firm,
                   corporation  or  entity  other  than  Employer,  in any area,
                   soliciting  the  business of any of  Employer's  clients with
                   whom Employee  had contact while employed by Employer; or

                   (D)   individually   or  on  behalf  of  any  person,   firm,
                   corporation  or  entity  other  than  Employer,  inducing  or
                   attempting   to  persuade  any  former,   current  or  future
                   employee,  agent,  manager,  consultant,  director  or  other
                   participant   in  Employer's   business  to  terminate   such
                   employment or other  relationship  in order to enter into any
                   relationship  with  Employee,  any business  organization  in
                   which  the  Employee  is  a   participant   in  any  capacity
                   whatsoever, or any other business organization in competition
                   with Employer's business.

          For purposes of this Paragraph:

                   (A) The term "affiliate" means any legal entity that directly
                   or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls, is
                   controlled  by, or is under the common control with Employer;

                   Employer  or any of its  affiliates  has sold any  product or
                   service,  whether or not for  compensation.  This  provision,
                   however,  does  not  prohibit  Employee  from  taking  direct
                   employment with any of Employer's clients.

person,  firm,  corporation or entity any of the trade secrets of Employer,  for
any reason  whatsoever  except pursuant to prior express  written  permission of
Employer,  or (b)  use  the  trade  secrets  of  Employer  in any way or for any
purpose,  be it direct,  indirect  or  otherwise  except  pursuant  to the prior
express written permission of Employer.

confidential information of Employer.

11.  EFFECT OF UNENFORCEABLE RESTRICTION; SEVERABILITY

     In the event any court or arbitration  panel should find that the period of
non-competition  or any restriction  contained in this Agreement is unreasonable
or unenforceable, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction shall
not hereby be terminated but shall be deemed  amended to the extent  required to
render it valid and  enforceable.  If any provision or term of this Agreement is
considered  unenforceable  and not amendable,  the remaining  provision or terms
shall continue in full force and effect.

     Either  party  may  waive  in  writing  compliance  or  enforcement  of any
provision  of this  Agreement.  Such a waiver  shall not affect the  validity or
enforceability or constitute a waiver of

by that  party or any other  party  unless so  stated in the  waiver.  A party's
failure  to  insist  on  compliance  or  enforcement  of any  provision  of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability or constitute a waiver
of  future  enforcement  of that  provision  or of any other  provision  of this
Agreement by that party or any other party.

of Employer, engage in any activity during said period for the purpose of:

                   (A) soliciting from any customer,  any service competing with
                   that sold by Employer; or

                   Employer; or

                   (C)   individually   or  on  behalf  of  any  person,   firm,

                   whom Employee had contact while employed by Employer; or

                   (D)   individually   or  on  behalf  of  any  person,   firm,
                   corporation  or  entity  other  than  Employer,  inducing  or
                   attempting   to  persuade  any  former,   current  or  future
                   employee,  agent,  manager,  consultant,  director  or  other
                   participant   in  Employer's   business  to  terminate   such
                   employment or other  relationship  in order to enter into any
                   relationship  with  Employee,  any business  organization  in
                   which  the  Employee  is  a   participant   in  any  capacity
                   whatsoever, or any other business organization in competition
                   with Employer's business.

          For purposes of this Paragraph:

                   (A) The term "affiliate" means any legal entity that directly

          employment with any of Employer's clients.
