WITNESSETH:

     In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained to
be kept and performed by the parties hereto, the parties agree as follows:

2. Term Of Employment. The term of employment shall be from May 31, 2003 through
the 31st day of December, 2003, unless sooner terminated as herein provided.

3. Compensation. The Company shall pay to Employee during the duration of the
term of this Agreement as follows:

     (a) A base salary of $192,500 annually, payable in equal monthly
installments, which may be reviewed annually during any Agreement year, and any
higher salary to become the base salary for the purposes of this provision, it
being understood, however, that failure to increase the salary shall not be
grounds for termination of this Agreement; and

     (b) Such other compensation and benefits that may be made available by the
Company in the discretion of the Board of Directors, consisting of bonuses,
short-term and long-term incentive plans, pension plan, retirement plan, profit
sharing plan, stock purchase plan and any other kind or type of incentive
programs approved by the Board. It is understood that Employee shall be a
participant in all compensation and benefit programs, including welfare benefit
plans, which exist for the executive staff of the Company.

usually and customarily associated with the office specified in paragraph (1)
above and as assigned to him from time-to-time by the Chief Executive Officer of

6. Disability. In the event Employee becomes disabled (inability or incapacity
due to physical or mental illness or injury to perform his duties) during the
term of this Agreement, which enables him unable to perform his duties, he shall
be entitled to participate in the Company's disability payment plan in effect at
the time of the disability.

7. Termination Of Employment. This Agreement shall be terminated as follows:

     (a) At the expiration of the term set forth above.

     (b) Upon the death of Employee.

     (c) By mutual agreement of the parties.

     (d) Upon disability of Employee, when such disability renders Employee
unable to perform his duties for more than 90 continuous days.

     (e) By the Company without giving any reason for termination, but with the
understanding that the compensation provided herein shall be paid or provided in
full to Employee in accordance with this Agreement, for the period of the
remaining duration of this Agreement.

     (f) By the Company for cause, which means that Employee has failed to
perform his duties after having received from the Company a written notice that
his duties are not being performed, which written notice shall specify how
performance is deficient, and Employee then fails to resume performance promptly
after receipt of notice and failure of performance is not rectified. For cause
also means conviction of a felony or engagement in illegal conduct which is
injurious to the Company, in either such case Company need not allow Employee to
rectify nonperformance.

     (g) Upon change in control of Company, as "change in control" is defined in
the so-called change in control agreement between Company and Employee now in
effect. In the event of termination for this reason, Employee's and Company's
rights with respect to compensation and all other matters related to employment
shall be as specified in the change in control agreement, and not this
Agreement.

8. Confidentiality. Employee agrees to keep all information acquired in
connection with his employment confidential, in accordance with the
confidentiality agreement executed by him which is attached to this Agreement,
marked Attachment 1.

9. Specific Performance. Employee understands that the obligations undertaken by
him as set forth in this Agreement are unique, and that Company will likely have
no adequate remedy at law in the event such obligations are breached. Employee
therefore confirms that Company has the right to seek specific performance if
Company feels such remedy is essential to protect the rights of Company.
Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies which Company might have in law
or equity, it shall have the right to have all obligations specifically
performed, and to obtain injunctive relief, preliminary or otherwise, to secure
performance. Employee agrees that

                                       2
<PAGE>

the arbitration provision below will not be used to assert dismissal of an
action in court for injunctive relief, and agrees that the availability of
arbitration is not intended by the parties to prevent Company from seeking
specific performance and injunctive relief.

10. Arbitration. The Company and Employee will attempt to resolve any disputes
under this Agreement by negotiation. If any matter is not thereby resolved,
within 30 days after written notice by either party to the other, any dispute or
disagreement arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach of it,
will be subject to exclusive, final and binding arbitration to be conducted in
Coeur d' Alene, Idaho in accordance with the Labor Arbitration Rules of
Procedure of the American Arbitration Association and the laws of the State of
Idaho governing arbitration of disputes.

11. Other Items. This Agreement shall not be amended or modified in any way
unless the amendment or modification is in writing, signed by the parties. There
shall be no oral modification of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement
shall be waived by conduct of the parties or in any other way. This Agreement
and its validity, interpretation, construction and performance shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Idaho.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day
and year first written above.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This Agreement is made this 13th day of January, 2003, between Coeur
d'Alene Mines Corporation ("Company") and James A. Sabala, ("Employee").

WITNESSETH:

     In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained to
be kept and performed by the parties hereto, the parties agree as follows:

1. Employment. The Company agrees to, and hereby does, employ Employee as
Executive Vice President-Chief Financial Officer, and Employee accepts such
employment, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2. Term of Employment. The initial term of employment shall be from January 27,
2003 through the 27th day of January, 2005, unless sooner terminated as herein
provided. It is further agreed that this Agreement automatically renews from
day-to-day so that Company and Employee are at all times bound to this Agreement
for a period of two years, unless either party gives the other party written
notice of attention to terminate this Agreement at the end of two years from the
date of receipt of such notice. It is understood, however, that termination can
occur in accordance with the provision of paragraph 7 below, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this paragraph 2.

3. Compensation. The Company shall pay to Employee during the duration of the
term of this Agreement as follows:

     (a) A base salary of $250,000 annually, payable in equal monthly
installments, which may be reviewed annually during any Agreement year, but
which may not be decreased, and any higher salary to become the base salary for
the purposes of this provision, it being understood, however, that failure to
increase the salary shall not be grounds for termination of this Agreement, and
it being further understood that the salary for the month of January 2003 shall
be prorated in accordance with the number of days in that month commencing with
January 27th;

     (b) Such other compensation and benefits that may be made available by the
Company in discretion of the Board of Directors, consisting of bonuses,
short-term and long-

<PAGE>

term incentive plans, pension plan, retirement plan, profit sharing plan, stock
purchase plan and any other kind or type of incentive programs approved by the
Board. It is understood that Employee shall be a participant in all compensation
and benefit programs, including welfare benefit plans, which exist for the
executive staff of the Company; and

     (c) It is agreed that at the end of the first calendar year, which is
December 31, 2003, Employee shall be entitled to a bonus payable in cash equal
to no less than 75% of his annual incentive target award, which is, for the
period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003, the sum of $75,000 (75% x 40%
x $250,000 = $75,000). The purpose of this payment is to provide Employee with
the similar compensation opportunity he would have received in his former
employment.

4. Duties. Employee, during the term of this Agreement, shall perform the duties
usually and customarily associated with the office specified in paragraph (1)
above and as assigned to him from time-to-time by the Chief Executive Officer of
Company.

     Employee shall devote his best efforts and substantially all of his time
during business hours to advance the interests of the Company. He shall not
engage in business activity in competition with the Company.

5. Vacation. Employee shall be entitled to four weeks vacation during each
calendar year of this Agreement, during which the compensation provided in this
Agreement shall be paid in full. Entitlement to such vacation shall accrue at
the rate of one week for each calendar quarter of employment, commencing at
January 1, 2003. Employee shall make reasonable effort to spread his vacation
time out to the end that he does not take four weeks of vacation all at one
time.

6. Disability. In the event Employee becomes disabled (inability or incapacity
due to physical or mental illness or injury to perform his duties) during the
term of this Agreement, which renders him unable to perform his duties, he shall
be entitled to participate in the Company's disability payment plan in effect at
the time of the disability.

7. Termination Of Employment: This Agreement shall be terminated as follows:

     (a) In accordance with paragraph 2 above.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     (b) Upon the death of Employee.

     (c) By mutual agreement of the parties.

     (d) Upon disability of Employee, when such disability renders Employee
unable to perform his duties for more than 90 continuous days.

     (e) By the Company without giving any reason for termination, but with the
understanding that the compensation provided herein, including the target annual
incentive bonus, shall be paid or provided in full to Employee in accordance
with this Agreement, for the period of the remaining duration of this Agreement.
(To illustrate, for the purpose of clarity, the meaning of the phrase "remaining
duration", the parties understand that it is possible that a party may give
notice of termination in accordance with paragraph 2 above, thereby establishing
a termination date, and later, termination might occur in accordance with this
paragraph 7(e), in which event payment of compensation may be for a period of
less than two years.) It is agreed that Company may set-off against the
compensation due to Employee under this subparagraph any items of like
compensation which Employee receives from other employment after the date of
termination.

     (f) By the Company for cause, which means that Employee has failed to
perform his duties after having received from the Company a written notice that
his duties are not being performed, which written notice shall specify how
performance is deficient, and Employee then fails to resume performance promptly
after receipt of notice and failure of performance is not rectified. For cause
also means conviction of a felony or engagement in illegal conduct which is
injurious to the Company, in either such case Company need not allow Employee to
rectify nonperformance. "Deficient" performance means misfeasance or nonfeasance
of duty which was intended to, or does, injure the Company's reputation or its
business or relationships: willful and continued failure of Employee to
substantially perform his duties under this Agreement (except by reason of
physical or mental disability which is dealt with in paragraph 7(d) above):
dishonesty in the performance of Employee's duties and material breach by
Employee of the covenants contained in paragraph 4 above.

                                       3
<PAGE>

     (g) Upon change in control of Company, as "change in control" is defined in
the so-called change in control agreement between Company and Employee, a copy
of which is attached hereto as Attachment A, and which will be executed by the
parties hereto when this Agreement is executed by them. In the event of
termination for this reason, Employee's and Company's rights with respect to
compensation and all other matters related to employment shall be as specified
in the change in control agreement, and not this Agreement.

     (h) By Employee for Good Reason. For the purposes of this Agreement "Good
Reason" is defined to mean (i) a material reduction in Employee's
responsibilities, authorities or duties; or (ii) failure of the Company to pay
to Employee any amount otherwise vested and due under this Agreement or under
any plan or policy of the Company, which failure is not cured within five days
from receipt by the Company of written notice from Employee which specifies the
details of the failure.

     In the event of termination of this Agreement for any of the reasons
specified above other than item (e) (termination by the Company without giving
any reason), Employee shall be entitled to be paid his base salary prorated for
the calendar year to the date of termination. All other benefits, if any,
following such termination shall be paid in accordance with the plans, policies
and practices of the Company which are in effect on the date of termination. As
to termination in accordance with item (e) above, Employee shall be paid in
accordance with that subparagraph.

8. Confidentiality. Employee agrees to keep all information acquired in
connection with his employment confidential, in accordance with the
confidentiality agreement which is attached to this Agreement, marked Attachment
B, to be executed by Employee when this Agreement is executed by him.

9. Specific Performance. Employee understands that the obligations undertaken by
him as set forth in this Agreement are unique, and that Company will likely have
no adequate remedy at law in the event such obligations are breached. Employee
therefore confirms that Company has the right to seek specific performance if
Company feels such remedy is essential to protect the rights of Company.
Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies which Company might have in law
or equity, it shall have the right to have all obligations specifically
performed, and to

                                       4
<PAGE>

obtain injunctive relief, preliminary or otherwise, to secure performance.
Employee agrees that the arbitration provision below will not be used to assert
dismissal of an action in court for injunctive relief, and agrees that the
availability of arbitration is not intended by the parties to prevent Company
from seeking specific performance and injunctive relief.

10. Arbitration. The Company and Employee will attempt to resolve any disputes
under this Agreement by negotiation. If any matter is not thereby resolved,
within 30 days after written notice by either party to the other, any dispute or
disagreement arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach of it,
will be subject to exclusive, final and binding arbitration to be conducted in
Coeur d' Alene, Idaho in accordance with the Labor Arbitration Rules of
Procedure of the American Arbitration Association and the laws of the State of
Idaho governing arbitration of disputes.

11. Other Items. This Agreement shall not be amended or modified in any way
unless the amendment or modification is in writing, signed by the parties. There
shall be no oral modification of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement
shall be waived by conduct of the parties or in any other way. This Agreement
and its validity, interpretation, construction and performance shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Idaho.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day
and year first written above.

Attachment A

                          EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
                          -----------------------------

     THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of January 13, 2003, is made and entered into
between Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation (the "Company") and James A. Sabala (the
"Executive") and is made in light of the following circumstances:

     A. The Company recognizes the valuable services that the Executive will
render and desires to be assured that the Executive will continue his active
participation in the management and business of the Company; and

     B. The Company considers the establishment and maintenance of a sound and
vital management to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests
of the Company and its shareholders, and the Company recognizes the existence
and continued likely existence of possible change in control of the Company, as
defined below, causing uncertainty among management and resulting in the
possible departure or distraction of members of management to the detriment of
the Company and its shareholders; and

     C. The Executive is willing to serve the Company, but desires assurance
that in the event of any such change in control of the Company, he will be
protected against the financial impact of an unexpected termination.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company agrees that the severance benefits described
below will be provided, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to
the Executive in the event the employment of the Executive with the Company or
its subsidiaries is terminated subsequent to a change in control of the Company,
as defined below, under the circumstances described below.

1. Company's Right to Terminate. During the Term of Agreement, as defined below,
the Executive agrees, so long as he continues to be employed as an officer of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, to continue to perform his regular
duties as such officer of the Company in accordance with the Employment
Agreement dated January 13, 2003. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may
terminate the employment of the Executive at any time, subject to providing the
benefits hereinafter specified in accordance with the terms hereto and subject
to all terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement of January 13, 2003.

2. Effective Date. The "Effective Date" shall be the date of this Agreement as
above set forth.

3. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall have a termination date which is
identical to the Employment Agreement between the parties of January 13, 2003
and shall continue from day-to-day until terminated in accordance with the
termination provisions of the Employment Agreement of January 13, 2003, unless a
change in control of the Company, as defined below, shall have occurred prior to
that date, in which event it shall continue in effect during the two (2) year
period immediately following such change in control as provided herein.

                                       6
<PAGE>

4. Change of Control. No benefits shall be payable hereunder unless there shall
have occurred a change in control of the Company, as defined below, and the
employment of the Executive by the Company shall have been thereafter terminated
in the manner described in section 5 hereof. For purpose of this Agreement, a
change in control of the Company ("Change in Control") shall mean and be
determined to have occurred if (a) any organization, group or person ("Person")
(as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) (the Exchange Act") is or becomes the beneficial owner (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 35% or more of the combined voting power
of the then outstanding securities of the Company; or (b) during any two-year
period, a majority of the members of the Board serving at the Effective Date of
this Agreement is replaced by directors who are not nominated and approved by
the Board; or (c) a majority of the members of the Board is represented by,
appointed by or affiliated with any Person whom the Board has determined is
seeking to effect a Change in Control of the Company; or (d) the Company shall
be combined with or acquired by another company and the Board shall have
determined, either before such event or thereafter, by resolution, that a Change
in Control will or has occurred.

5. Termination Following Change in Control. If a Change in Control shall have
occurred, the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 6
hereof upon the subsequent involuntary termination, whether actual or
constructive, as defined below, of the employment of the Executive within the
two (2) year period immediately following such Change in Control, for any reason
other than termination for cause, disability, death, normal retirement or early
retirement. For the purposes of this section:

(a)  "Constructive Involuntary Termination" shall mean voluntary termination of
     employment by the Executive as a result of a significant change in the
     duties, responsibilities, reporting relationship, job description,
     compensation, perquisites, office or location of employment of Executive
     without the written consent of the Executive.

(b)  "Cause" shall mean termination of employment on account of (i) fraud,
     misrepresentation, theft or embezzlement, (ii) intentional violation of
     laws involving moral turpitude or which is materially injurious to the
     Company, (iii) willful and continued failure by the Executive substantially
     to perform his or her duties with the Company or its subsidiaries (other
     than failure resulting from the Executive's incapacity due to physical or
     mental illness), after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to
     the Executive by the President or the Chairman of the Board of the Company,
     which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Executive has
     not substantially performed his or her duties.

(c)  "Disability" shall mean inability or incapacity, due to physical or mental
     illness, of the Executive to perform his or her duties with the company for
     a period of three continuous months.

(d)  Any termination of the employment of the Executive by the Company shall be
     communicated by a written notice of termination addressed to the Executive
     and any termination of the employment of the Executive by the Executive,
     except by death, shall be communicated by a written notice of termination
     addressed to the President or

                                       7
<PAGE>

     Chairman of the Board of the Company. The notice of termination shall
     specify the date of termination ("Date of Termination") and the
     characterization of the termination.

6. Benefits Upon Termination. If the Executive's employment by the Company shall
be terminated as provided in Section 5 hereof, other than for cause, disability
or death, the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided below:

(a)  Base Salary and Bonuses. The Company shall continue to compensate the
     Executive at his or her full annual base salary at the rate in effect
     immediately prior to the termination of the employment of the Executive,
     and to pay short-term and long-term bonuses at target levels pursuant to
     the Company's 1989 Annual Incentive Plan and 1989 Long-Term Performance
     Plan, for the period of two (2) years following actual involuntary
     termination or Constructive Involuntary Termination, if such termination
     occurs during the period in which this Agreement is in effect (the "Salary
     Continuance Period"). Benefits paid in accordance with this Subsection 6(a)
     shall not be reduced in the event the Executive is employed elsewhere
     during this time period, or by reason of death or disability.

(b)  Medical and Dental Benefits; Long-term Disability Benefits. The Company
     shall maintain in full force and effect from the Date of Termination
     through the end of the Salary Continuance Period, all medical and dental
     benefits and all long term disability benefits in which the Executive was
     entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination, to
     the same extent as if the Executive had continued to be an employee of the
     Company during the Salary Continuance Period, provided that such continued
     participation is feasible under the general terms and provisions of such
     plans and programs. To the extent such continued participation is not
     feasible, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive with
     substantially the same benefits as those to which he or she would have been
     entitled to receive under such plans and programs. All such medical and
     dental benefits shall be subject to the group health plan continuation
     coverage requirements as provided in Section 162(d) of the Internal Revenue
     Code of 1986, as amended (The "Code"). All such medical and dental benefits
     shall be discontinued upon employment by the Executive with another company
     and the commencement of coverage of the Executive pursuant to a long-term
     disability plan of such new employer.

(c)  Stock Options. In the event of a Change in Control, all outstanding stock
     options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance plan
     awards and performance shares granted by the Company to the Executive under
     the Company's 1989 Long-Term Performance Plan shall become immediately
     exercisable in full and otherwise vest 100% in accordance with the subject
     to the provisions under Section 13 of such Long-Term Performance Plan.

                                       8
<PAGE>

(d)  Retirement Benefits.

     (1) Defined Contribution Plans. The Company shall not use the provisions of
any defined contribution plan to deny a lump sum option to the Executive unless
this occurs under uniform treatment applicable to all plan participants.

     (2) Defined Benefit Plan. The Executive shall be entitled to continued
credit for years of service under the defined benefit plan of the Company from
the date of Termination through the Salary Continuance Period, and any
compensation paid to the Executive pursuant to subsection 6(a) above shall be
treated as salary compensation for purposes of such plan to the extent that such
augmentation of the defined benefit plan is not possible under such plan, the
Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to the present value of such
augmentation, or arrange to provide the Executive with substantially the same
benefit.

(e)  Certain Executive Reimbursement. The Company shall pay the Executive an
     amount necessary to reimburse the Executive for all legal fees and expenses
     incurred by the Executive as a result of the Change in Control of the
     Company and such termination of employment, including any fees and expenses
     incurred in contesting or disputing any such termination or in seeking to
     obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement;
     provided, however, that the Company shall be obliged only to pay amounts
     necessary to reimburse the Executive for legal fees and expense incurred by
     the Executive with respect to any claim or claims made by him as to which
     he shall substantially prevail in litigation relating thereto against the
     Company.

     The payment provided for in subsection 6(a) hereof shall be subject to
applicable payroll or other tax required to be withheld by the Company. Payments
to the Executive hereunder shall be considered severance pay in consideration of
past service and his or her continued service after the date of this Agreement.
The payment provided for in subsection 6(d)(1) hereof shall be made to the
Executive within five (5) business days after the Date of Termination. The
Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided
for in this Section 6 by seeking other employment or otherwise, and expect as
provided in subsection 6(b) above, the amount of any payment provided for in
this Section 6 shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive
as a result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or
otherwise.

7. Limitation on Payments. If the severance payments provided for under this
Agreement, either alone or together with other payments which the Executive
would have the right to receive from the Company, would constitute a "parachute
payment," as defined in Section 280G(a) of the Code as in effect at the time of
payment, such payment shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in
no portion being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code
or the disallowance of a deduction by Company pursuant to Section 280G of the
Code. The determination of the amount of any reduction under this section, and
the plan and payment to which such reductions shall apply, shall be made in good
faith by the Executive and such determination shall be binding on the Company.

                                       9
<PAGE>

8.   Successor; Binding Agreement

(a)  The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect) by
     purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all
     of the business or assets of the Company by agreement in form and substance
     satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform
     this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company
     would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

(b)  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
     personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors,
     heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees of the Executive. If the
     Executive should die while any amount would be payable to the Executive
     hereunder if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless
     otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of
     this Agreement to the devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no
     such designee, to the estate of the Executive.

9. Notices. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by certified or

Attachment B

                            CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

     In consideration of my employment with Coeur d'Alene Mines, Inc., I agree
that I will not, with respect to the Company, its affiliates, and subsidiaries
(collectively referred to herein as "Company"), directly or indirectly during
the term of my employment except as required in the normal course of the
performance of my duties, or at any time after my employment is terminated for
any reason:

(a)  disclose or furnish to any person, corporation, or other entity, or use in
     my own personal business, any confidential commercial information obtained
     by me as an employee which has not previously been disclosed to the public;
     or

(b)  utilize any such confidential information or my affiliation with the
     Company for the gain, advantage, or profit of me or any entity other than
     the Company; or

(c)  buy or sell, directly or indirectly, any security or other interest, or
     take advantage of any investment or other business opportunity which,
     because of confidential information obtained in my employment capacity, I
     know the Company may be considering to acquire or divest either in whole or
     in part.

     Confidential commercial information, which involves both secret and
confidential classifications, includes the following, without limitation,
whether imparted orally or in writing:

(a)  methods of conducting or obtaining business to include know-how and trade
     secrets;

(b)  inventions, discoveries, improvements, formulae, practices, processes,
     methods of processes, whether patentable or not, directly or indirectly
     related to the Company;

(c)  any other information or confidences I may acquire in the course of my
     employment, no matter from where or in what manner such information may
     have been acquired.

     Upon termination of my employment for any reason, regardless of whether
initiated by the Company or myself, I shall surrender all papers, records,
memoranda, notes, or other documents of any kind which have come into my control
or possession, and any and all copies thereof, whether prepared by myself or
others, which relate directly or indirectly to the business of the Company. The
confidentiality obligation assumed hereunder shall survive the termination of my
employment.

     If any provision, or part thereof, of this Agreement shall, for any reason,
be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the
remainder of the Agreement. It shall be confined in its operation to the
provision, or part thereof, of this Agreement directly involved in the
controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.

                                       12

     I agree that there may be no adequate remedy at law for the breach by me of
any of the covenants or agreements herein contained, and that the Company will
suffer irreparable harm from such breach. Therefore, in the event of a breach or
a threatened breach of any of the covenants or agreements herein contained, the
Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may
have, to an injunction restraining me from doing or continuing to do any such
act in violation of this Agreement.

     This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Idaho. This Agreement may not be modified
or amended, nor may any provision thereof be waived or discharged, except in
writing signed by both parties or their duly constituted representatives. All of
