Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that the unauthorized disclosure or misuse of the Confidential Information of the other party will cause irreparable damage to such other party and protection of such Confidential Information is essential to the growth and stability of such party. Accordingly, Seller and Shareholder, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, hereby agree, upon execution of this Agreement and from and after the Closing Date, not to use or disclose the Confidential Information of the other except, with respect to Shareholder, in connection with his performance of any employment duties to Purchaser following Closing.

        Section 7.02 Period of Non-Competition. Pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser shall acquire certain of the assets and the Business of Seller.

Seller and Shareholder agree that the foregoing territorial, time and other limitations are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the business and affairs of Purchaser effective from and after the Closing, and in the event that anyone or more of such territorial, time or other limitations is found to be unreasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction, Seller and Shareholder, shall agree and submit to the reduction of said territorial, time or other limitations to such an area, period, or otherwise as the court may determine to be reasonable. With respect to the operation of this Section 7.02, Shareholder agrees that if he accepts employment with Purchaser at Closing the terms of the non-competition covenant contained herein shall commence on the date on which he is employed by Purchaser and shall continue for a period of one year following the termination or expiration of such employment; provided, however, that if such termination is voluntary by Shareholder or involuntary for cause then such term shall continue for a period of three years following such termination.

        Section 7.03 Equitable Remedies.

        THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of the 11 day of June 2002, by and among Ideal Accents, Inc., a Florida corporation, with its principal place of business at 10200 West Eight Mile, Ferndale, Michigan 48220 ("Purchaser") and Michael Patten, an individual, residing at 13517 Yvonne, Warren, MI, ("Patten").

        WHEREAS, Patten is the sole shareholder of Auto Conversions, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the "Corporation") in the business of the sale, service and installation of auto conversion and detailing products (the "Business");

        WHEREAS, the Corporation and Patten have simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Purchaser (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Purchaser shall acquire from the Corporation certain of the operating assets of the Corporation owned or used by it in connection with the Business;

        WHEREAS, on closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement and as a condition precedent thereto, Patten desires to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser desires to acquire from Patten all of his right, title and interest in and to a loan made by Patten to the Corporation in the principal amount of $180,000, which prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) will be evidenced by a promissory note executed by the Corporation in form acceptable to Purchaser (the "Note");

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
TERMS OF AGREEMENT

        Section 1.01 Purchase and Sale of Note. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 4.01 hereof), Patten agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Patten, the Note.

        Section 1.02 Liabilities Not Assumed. Purchaser shall not assume or become obligated or in any way responsible in respect of any of the liabilities, indebtedness or obligations of whatever nature of Patten, whether pursuant to the operation of this Agreement or otherwise.

        Section 1.03 Purchase Price. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay Patten for the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the Note the sum of S 1 50,000 (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 1.04 hereof, as follows: (1) cash in the amount of $50,000, payable $20,000 on Closing, $15,000 on the 60dt day following Closing and $15,000 on the 120th day following Closing and (2) delivery on Closing of 100,000 shares of common stock of the Purchaser, such shares being valued for this purpose at $1.00 per share.

        Section 1.04 Purchase Price Adjustments.

        (a)    If the amount of the Loans and Accounts Payable (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) at Closing is less than $200,000, the Purchase Price for the Note shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the difference between $200,000 and such amount of Loans and Accounts Payable. Such increased Purchase Price shall be paid at Closing by delivery of additional shares of common stock of Purchaser with such shares valued for this purpose at $1.00 per share. If the amount of the Loans and Accounts Payable at Closing is in excess of $200,000, the Purchase Price for the Note shall be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the difference between such amount of Loans and Accounts Payable and the sum of (x) $200,000 and (y) the amount by which the Receivables (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) at Closing is in excess of $30,000 (if any). Such decreased Purchase Price shall be reflected by a reduction in the number of shares of common stock of Purchaser delivered at Closing with such shares valued for this purpose at $1.00 per share.

        (b)    If the holder of that certain $5,000 note evidencing indebtedness of the Corporation to be assumed by Purchaser at Closing requires that all or any portion of such indebtedness be paid by Purchaser at Closing and does not extend repayment terms, Patten agrees that the cash portion of the Purchase Price payable at Closing pursuant to Section 1.03 shall be reduced by the outstanding principal amount of such note required to be paid at Closing, with any such amount added to the Purchase Price installment due 60 days following Closing.
