ARTICLE VII

NON-COMPETITION

7.1

In order to induce FUTURETECH to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, CCS hereby covenant as follows, which covenants shall be in addition and without prejudice to any other noncompetition, nonsolicitation and/or similar covenants to which CCS may be subject from time to time:

Covenant Not to Compete. CCS agree that, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), except as provided below, none of them nor any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates (whether or not presently existing) (each a “Restricted Party”) shall compete, directly or indirectly, with FUTURETECH in its conduct of the OptiCon Business; provided, however that nothing described herein shall prevent CCS from (i) selling products pursuant to the Reseller Agreement or (ii) providing any service to its customers other that those services directly related to OptiCon.

Restriction on Solicitation of Employees. During the Restricted Period, neither CCS nor any of their Affiliates shall directly or indirectly recruit, solicit, induce, or attempt to induce any of the employees or independent contractors of OptiCon or any of their Affiliates to terminate their employment or contractual relationship with the other party or any such Affiliate; and neither CCS nor any of their Affiliates shall assist any other Person to do so, or be a proprietor, equityholder, investor (except as an investor holding not more than 1% of the capital stock or other securities of a publicly held company), lender, partner, director, officer, employee, consultant or representative of any Person who does or attempts to do so. However, the foregoing covenant of non-solicitation shall not be violated by CCS’ or their Affiliates’, use of employment advertisements placed in general or mass media publications.

Restrictions on Solicitations of Customers. During the Restricted Period, neither CCS nor any of their Affiliates shall directly or indirectly solicit, divert, take away, or attempt to divert or take away, from FUTURETECH or any of its Affiliates, any of the business or patronage of its customers, clients, accounts, vendors or suppliers, and neither CCS nor any of their Affiliates shall assist any other Person to do so, or be a proprietor, equityholder, investor (except as an investor holding not more than 1% of the capital stock or other securities of a publicly held company), lender, partner, director, officer, employee, consultant or representative of any Person who does or attempts to do so.

Equitable Relief. CCS hereby acknowledge that any breach by any of them of their obligations under this Article VII would cause substantial and irreparable damage to FUTURETECH and its Affiliates; and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy therefore, and accordingly, acknowledge and agree that the other party or any Affiliate shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, and/or other equitable relief to prevent the breach of such obligations (in addition to all other rights and remedies to which such party may be entitled in respect of any such breach).

-14-

Enforceability. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the provisions of this Article VII would be unenforceable as written because they cover too extensive a geographic area, too broad a range of activities, or too long a period of time, or otherwise, then such provisions shall automatically be modified to cover the maximum geographic area, range of activities, and period of time as may be enforceable, and in addition, such court or arbitrators are hereby expressly authorized so to modify this Agreement and to enforce it as so modified. No invalidity or enforceability of any section of this Agreement or any portion thereof shall affect the validity or enforceability of any other section or of the remainder of such section.
