         affiliate,  or to engage in any business,  regulatory or other  activity which might  materially  harm the
         Company, or any Company affiliate, or which is opposed by the Company, or any Company affiliate; or

         (c)      make or cause  to be made  any  public  statement  that is  disparaging  of the  Company,  or any
         Company  affiliate,  or their respective  businesses or that materially injures the business or reputation
         of the Company, or any Company affiliate, or their respective businesses.

         8.       Consultant further agrees that while this Agreement is in effect he will not, except with the
written consent of the General Counsel of the Company, (a) engage in any activity which is directly competitive
with the Company, or any Company affiliate, or (b) render services to any organization or individual in

         9.       If, during the term of this Agreement, Consultant engages in discussions with any entity or
person regarding Consultant providing services to such entity or person, or regarding engaging in any business
enterprise with such entity or person, he may disclose the fact that he has agreed to the provisions of Section 8
for a period of three years beginning on the Effective Date, and he may also disclose the provisions of Section 8

         10.      This Agreement is made and will be construed under the laws of the State of California.

         IN WITNESS THEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized officer
