all of such restrictions may be enforced in whole or in part as the
circumstances warrant.

     (d) For the purposes of this Section, the term "Company" shall mean and

the provisions set forth in Paragraphs 10 and 11 are reasonable and necessary.

unenforceable, the provisions shall only be modified to the minimum extent
required to make the provisions reasonable and/or enforceable, as the case may
be. Employee acknowledges and agrees that his services are of a unique character
and expressly grants to the Company or any subsidiary, successor or assignee of
the Company, the right to enforce the provisions above through the use of all
remedies available at law or in equity, including, but not limited to,

                                       6
<PAGE>

breach through any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties understand and
intend that each restriction agreed to by the Employee herein above shall be
construed as separable and divisible from every other restriction, and that the
unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any restriction will not affect the
enforceability of the remaining restrictions, and that one or more or all of
such restrictions may be enforced in whole or in part as the circumstances
warrant.

         (d) For the purposes of this Section, the term "Company" shall mean and

         (g) It is expressly agreed by Employee that the nature and scope of
each of the provisions set forth in Paragraphs 10 and 11 are reasonable and
necessary. If, for any reason, any aspect of these provisions as they apply to
Employee is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable
or unenforceable, the provisions shall only be modified to the minimum extent
required to make the provisions reasonable and/or enforceable, as the case may
be. Employee acknowledges and agrees that his services are of a unique character
and expressly grants to the Company or any subsidiary, successor or assignee of
the Company, the right to enforce the provisions above through the use of all
remedies available at law or in equity, including, but not limited to,
injunctive relief.

processes or designs, devised, planned, applied, created, discovered or invented
by Employee in the course of Employee's employment under this Agreement and
which pertain to any aspect of the Company's or its respective subsidiaries' or
affiliates' businesses shall be the sole and absolute property of the Company,
and Employee shall make prompt report thereof to the Company and promptly
execute any and all documents reasonably requested to assure the Company the
full and complete ownership thereof.

                  (b) All records, files, lists, including computer generated

special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and of an intellectual character giving
them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately
compensated in damages in an action at law. Accordingly, in the event of any
breach of this Agreement by Employee, including, but not limited to, the breach
of the non-disclosure, non-solicitation and non-compete clauses under Paragraphs
10 and 11 hereof, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of
