          of the Service Companies, solicit or seek to solicit on his own behalf
          or on behalf of any other person, firm, or corporation which engages,
          directly or indirectly, in the development, operation, management,

          to the termination of Williams' employment by the Company for the
          post-termination period of the Restricted Period.

                                       3.

          Section 8(g) of the Noncompetition Agreement shall be amended by
