unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information constitutes
misappropriation of trade secrets and Confidential Information. Consultant
further agrees that all ownership rights to the Confidential Information are
held or retained by Client as the case may be, and that no right of ownership
shall pass to Consultant by virtue of this Agreement or the services provided
hereunder.

and Regulations. Consultant acknowledges that its use of such information to
purchase or sell securities of Client, or its affiliates, or to transmit such
information to any other party with a view to buy, sell or otherwise deal in the

as provided by Client.

        18.    NON-EXCLUSIVE SERVICES.

non-breaching party would have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the
event of any controversy concerning the rights or obligations under this
Agreement, such rights or obligations shall be enforceable in a court of equity
by a decree of specific performance. Such remedy, however, shall be cumulative
as non-exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy to which the
parties may be entitled.

of the Company's common stock, no par value ("Common Stock") pursuant to the
terms of Consulting Agreements with four (4) outside independent experts and the
termination of two (2) Consulting Agreements. The Agreements are as follows:

     a)   Pyramid Holdings, Inc. dated October 5, 1995,

     b)   Consultant Agreement dated June 5, 1996 with Edwin F. Russo,

     c)   Consulting Agreement dated October 1, 1996 with Weinberg, Pershes &
          Company P.A.,

     d)   Consulting Agreement dated November 19, 1996 with Lerner and Pearce,
          Attorneys,

     e)   Termination of Consulting Agreements with Morton Floch dated June 30,
          1996,

     f)   Termination of Employment Agreement with Frank Surroca dated February

In this connection, we have examined originals or copies identified to our

including but not limited to the
Consulting Agreements, the termination arrangements as to two (2) of the
Agreements with Messrs. Surroca and Floch, the Certificate of Incorporation of
the Company, the Bylaws of the Company and such other documents as we have
deemed necessary.

We are of the opinion that the shares when issued pursuant to the respective

We consent to the filing of this Opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

Very truly yours,

held or retained by Client as the case may be, and that no right of ownership
shall pass to Consultant by virtue of this Agreement or the services provided
hereunder.

any of its affiliates in any business competing with or which may compete with
the business of the Company (the "Prohibited Business") in the same market
segments in such activities in which the Company is engaged within the United
States or any other geographic area in which the Company is then engaged in such
Prohibited Business; provided the foregoing shall not prohibit Employee from

otherwise reimbursed for services rendered to such enterprise.

     (b)  SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS.  During the periods in which the provisions

Prohibited Business received from any Customer by any enterprise or business
other than the Company. For purposes of this Section 6(b), the term "Customer"
means any person, firm, corporation, partnership, association or other entity to

entity is a Customer.

year after the later of, (i) termination of Employee's employment, for whatever
reason, and (ii) the conclusion of the period, if any, during which the Company
is making payments to the Employee pursuant to Section 5, Employee shall not,
directly or indirectly, employ any person who is employed by the Company or any
affiliate or induce such person to accept employment other than with the Company
or any affiliate.

     (d)  NO PAYMENT.  The Employee acknowledges and agrees that no separate or
additional payment will be required to be made to him in consideration of his
undertakings in this Section 6.

     7.  NONDISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  The Employee acknowledges
that during his employment he will learn and will have access to confidential
information regarding the Company and its affiliates, including without
limitation (i) confidential or secret plans, programs, documents, agreements or
other material relating to the business, services or activities of the Company
and its affiliates and (ii) trade secrets, market reports, customer

                                      -7-
investigations, customer lists and other similar information that is proprietary
information of the Company or its affiliates (collectively referred to as
"confidential information"). The Employee acknowledges that such confidential
information as is acquired and used by the Company or its affiliates is a
special, valuable and unique asset. All records, files, materials and
confidential information obtained by the Employee in the course of his
employment with the Company are confidential and proprietary and shall remain
the exclusive property of the Company or its affiliates, as the case may be. The
Employee will not, except in connection with and as required by his performance
of his duties under this Agreement, for any reason use for his own benefit or
the benefit of any person or entity with which he may be associated or disclose
any such confidential information to any person, firm, corporation, association
or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever without the prior written
consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, unless such confidential
information previously shall have become public knowledge through no action by
or omission of the Employee.

     8.  ASSIGNABILITY.  The rights and obligations of the Company under this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of the Company, provided that such successor or assign shall acquire all
or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company. The Employee's
rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned or alienated and any
attempt to do so by the Employee will be void.

                                      -8-
9.  SEPARABILITY.

     (a) The Employee expressly agrees that the character, duration and
geographical scope of the provisions set forth in this Agreement are reasonable
in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date hereof. Should a
decision, however, be made at a later date by a court or arbitration panel of
competent jurisdiction that the character, duration or geographical scope of
such provisions is unreasonable, then it is the intention and the agreement of
the Employee and the Company that this Agreement shall be construed by the court
or arbitration panel in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on
the Employee's conduct that are reasonable in the light of the circumstances and
as are necessary to assure to the Company the benefits of this Agreement.

     (b)  If any provision of this Agreement otherwise is deemed to be invalid
or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or jurisdiction where
it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered divisible as to such
provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such state or jurisdiction
and shall not be part of the consideration moving from either of parties to the
other. The remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and binding and
of like effect as though such provision were not included.
