Company. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any information which is
presently public knowledge or which becomes public knowledge through a source or

Executive agrees that, during his employment with the Company and for a period
of one year following termination of such employment, regardless of the reason

account, or for the account of any other person, firm or business, as employee,
officer, director, owner, proprietor, partner, agent, consultant or any other

  a. Engage, within any geographic area in which the Company is then conducting
its business, in any business segment in which he has actively participated as
an employee of the Company; or

 

  b. Offer employment to any employee of the Company in any capacity whatsoever
or attempt to induce or cooperate with any other firm in an attempt to induce an

  d. Call upon, service, solicit or be solicited, or otherwise contact in any

employment with the Company; or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  e. Request that any Customer not purchase products or services from the

the violation of the provisions of this paragraph began and ending when all
activities constituting such violation shall have finally terminated in good
faith, to Company’s reasonable satisfaction.

cause irreparable damage to the Company, incapable of compensation by the award

relief with respect to any such breach, without the necessity of proving actual
damages, and agrees that Company may recover from Executive its costs, fees and
expenses in enforcing these covenants.

improvements and inventions and to sign all patent/copyright applications or
other documents needed to implement the provisions of this paragraph without
additional consideration. Executive further agrees that all works of authorship

employed shall be considered a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

one-year period following the termination of employment with the Company shall
be deemed to have been made, conceived, or discovered during employment with the
Company.

  9. TERMINATION AND TERMINATION BENEFITS

Executive’s employment hereunder is “at will”, which means that either the
Company or the Executive may terminate such employment at anytime, with or
without cause or good reason.

 

  a. The Company may terminate other than for “cause” at any time upon written

performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company.

 

  (2) Executive’s failure to adequately perform his duties and responsibilities
to the Company, which performance deficiencies continue sixty days after the

  c. Executive may terminate employment at any time, with or without good
reason, upon 30 days written notice to the Company. Upon receipt of such notice,
the Company may, without penalty, designate an earlier termination date.

 

  d. If Executive resigns (other than pursuant to subparagraph (f) below) or
employment is terminated by the Company for cause, the Company shall have no
further obligation to Executive other than for normal salary earned through the
date of termination. No severance pay or other benefits or compensation of any
kind will be provided.

 

  e. In the event the Company terminates Executive’s employment other than “for
cause” as defined above, the Company shall, as a severance benefit, continue to
pay his normal salary until on the first to occur of (l) six months from the
date of termination; or (2) the date Executive obtains other employment with
comparable or better compensation. In the event Executive obtains other
employment which does not have comparable or better compensation, the severance
payable to Executive pursuant to this subparagraph (e) shall be reduced by the
compensation paid to Executive in such new employment.

 

  f.

In the event there is a “Change of Control” (as hereinafter defined) and neither
the Company nor the Buyer offers the Executive a position with comparable
compensation, the Executive may choose to resign and receive (in lieu of any
other severance or like benefit) the severance provided in this subparagraph
(f). The Executive must provide written notice of such election within the
thirty-day period following the date of the Change of Control, and such
resignation shall be effective on the 60th day following such written notice
(unless the Company and the Executive agree to a different effective date). Upon
such a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

resignation, the Company shall continue to pay to the Executive, as severance
hereunder, his normal salary until the first to occur of(i) the end of the six
months following the cessation of employment or (ii) the date the Executive
obtains other employment with comparable or better compensation. In the event
the Executive during such six months obtains other employment which does not
have comparable or better compensation, the severance payable to the Executive
shall be reduced by the compensation paid to the Executive in such new
employment.

The term “Change of Control” as utilized herein refers to each of the following
events:

 

  (A) Any change of control of the Company of a nature that would be required to
be reported in the Company’s proxy statement under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.

 

  (B) The Company effectuates the sale of all or substantially all of its
assets, other than in the ordinary course of business; or

 

  (C) The Company effectuates a merger, consolidation or like business
combination or reorganization, having the same effect as the event described in
subsection (B) above.

 

  g. Regardless of the reason for termination, Executive shall have such rights
as may be provided by COBRA and as may be provided pursuant to any retirement
plan, which is qualified pursuant to ERISA and in which Executive participates.

 

  10. MISCELLANEOUS

 

  a. This Agreement and any disputes arising here from shall be governed by the
law of the State of New York.

 

  b. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable for any reason, including without limitation the geographic or
business scope or duration thereof; this Agreement shall be construed as if such
provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid or unenforceable.

 

  c. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and
understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter. This Agreement
may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the parties
hereto.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  d. The failure of either party at any time or times to require performance of
any provision hereof shall in no way effect the right at a later time to enforce
the same.
