to the authority of the Board (as defined below) of the Company to define and
limit such executive services, including serving as an officer, manager,
employee or in any other capacity for any Affiliate of the Company. Executive

compensation for Executive. Specifically, you will be eligible to be considered
for a performance based bonus as set forth on Exhibit A of this Agreement. The
bonus program shall be administered and distributed under the sole direction of
the Compensation Committee of the Board, taking into account the recommendations
of senior management of the Company and the achievement of annual goals and
objectives as established and approved by the Board. If the Employment Period

year.

Executive with family health, dental and major medical, vision and disability
coverage, as well as participation under such plans as the Board may establish

per annum as the Company shall establish as Company policy for all management of
the Company.

     (d) Reimbursement of Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Company
will reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
him during the Employment Period in the course of performing his duties under

subject to the Company’s requirements with respect to reporting and
documentation of such expenses. Specifically, you will be reimbursed for up to
$1,500 of annual membership dues to licensing and trade organizations of your
designation.

     Section 4. Termination.

      (a)      The Employment Period will continue until the earlier of:      
(i)      Executive’s resignation         (A)      for Good Reason on 30 days’
written notice,         (B)      for any other reason or no reason (a
resignation described in this clause (i)(B) being a resignation by the Executive
“Without Good Reason”) or                 (C) as a result of Executive’s death
or Disability, which resignation shall be deemed automatically tendered upon
Executive’s death or Disability; or               (ii) the giving of notice of
termination by the Company                 (A) for Cause or                 (B)
for any other reason or for no reason (a termination described in this clause
(ii)(B) being a termination by the Company “Without Cause”).

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

     For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means

      (i)    any willful or intentional act of Executive that has the effect of
injuring the reputation or business of the Company or its Affiliates in any
material respect,     (ii)   Executive’s use of illegal drugs,     (iii)   that
the Executive has materially failed to perform his duties hereunder and such
failure continues uncured for 30 days after notice to Executive by the Company;
provided, the foregoing notice shall only be required with respect to one
material breach that occurs in any 12-month period, or     (iv)   Executive’s
indictment, conviction or a plea of guilty or no contest or similar plea with
respect to, a felony, an act of fraud or embezzlement, a breach of fiduciary
duty to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or a (v) breach of any of
Sections 6, 7 or 8 of this Agreement.

     For the purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means

      (i)    any substantial diminution in the Executive’s professional
responsibilities,     (ii)   any intentional act which creates a workplace
environmental that, by duress or otherwise, makes it impossible for Executive to
continue his employment,     (iii)   a reduction in Salary or the overall level
of other compensation and benefits to which Executive is entitled under this
Agreement, or     (iv)   the failure by the Company to pay the Executive any
portion of the Executive’s current compensation when due and such failure
continues for 7 days after notice to Company from Executive provided that the
foregoing notice shall only be required with respect to one such failure in any
12-month period. For avoidance of doubt, Executive hereby acknowledges that the
Board may from time to time reorganize the operations of the Company resulting
in a change in Executive’s title or direct employer, which change alone shall
not constitute Good Reason so long as any change in title or reporting
responsibilities results in no substantial diminution in Executive’s
responsibilities and any new direct employer agrees to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, without modification other than to reflect the
change in title and employer.

     (b) In the event the Employment Period is terminated by the Company Without
Cause or the Executive resigns for Good Reason, then, so long as Executive
continues to comply with Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereof, and so long as Executive
executes and delivers to the Company immediately prior to the payment of such
first installment a release in the form of

Exhibit B, then Executive will be entitled to receive an amount (the “Severance
Amount”) equal to twelve (12) months pay at the rate of Executive’s Salary in

regular payment schedule in effect at the Termination Date. In addition, in
connection with termination described in the preceding sentence, Executive shall
be entitled to receive

          (i) any incentive payments earned and accrued but not yet paid to
Executive prior to the Termination Date,

          (ii) continued medical coverage during the Severance Term pursuant to
COBRA at the Company’s expense; and

          (iii) all accrued and unpaid Salary and unused vacation time through
the Termination Date and all unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the
Termination Date; provided, as a condition to receiving the Severance Amount or
any payment or benefit described in paragraphs 4(b)(i) and 4(b)(ii).

     (c) In the event the Employment Period is terminated due to the Executive’s
death, or resignation Without Good Reason or by the Company with Cause then, so
long as Executive continues to comply with Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereof, Executive
will be entitled to receive the items described in paragraphs 4(b)(i) and
4(b)(iii) above.

     (d) In the event the Employment Period is terminated by the Executive or
the Company due to the Executive’s Disability, then the Executive shall receive
his monthly Salary and benefits through the end of the calendar month is which
such termination occurs and, so long as Executive continues to comply with
Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereof, Executive will be entitled to receive the items
described in Sections 4(b)(i),(ii) and (iii) above.

     Section 5. Resignation as Officer or Director. Upon the Termination Date,
Executive will be deemed to have resigned from each position (if any) that he
then holds as an officer or director of the Company and each of its Affiliates,
and Executive will take any and all reasonable action that the Company may
request in order to confirm or evidence such resignation.

     Section 6. Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that the
information, observations and data that may be obtained by Executive during his
employment relationship with, or through his involvement as a consultant,

and, collectively, the “Related Companies”), prior to and after the date of this
Agreement concerning the business or affairs of the Related Companies
(collectively, “Confidential Information”) are and will be the property of the
Related Companies (“Company Property”). Therefore, Executive agrees that he will
not disclose to any unauthorized Person or use for the account of himself or any
other Person any Company Property or Confidential Information without the prior
written consent of the Company (by the action of the Board), unless and to the

Executive will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company at, or within two
days of, the Termination Date, or at any other time the Company may request, all

Property or Confidential Information or the business of any Related Company
which Executive may then possess or have under his control.

     Section 7. Non-Compete, Non-Solicitation.

     (a) Non-Compete. Executive acknowledges that during his employment
relationship with, or through his involvement as a consultant, contractor,
representative, agent, officer, director, partner, member or stockholder of, the
Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Affiliates or any
predecessor thereof, Executive has and will become familiar with trade secrets
and Confidential Information concerning such companies, and with investment
opportunities relating to their respective businesses, and that Executive’s
services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the
foregoing entities. Therefore, Executive agrees that, during his employment with
the Company and for one year after the Termination Date (the “Non-Compete
Period”), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties to this
Agreement, he will not, directly or indirectly, invest in, own, manage, operate,
finance, control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation,
financing, or control of, be employed by, render services to, or in any manner
connected with any business (in each case including on his own behalf or on
behalf of another Person), whose products, services or activities compete in
whole or in part with the products, services or activities of the Company or its
Affiliates, as they now exist or may exist during such one year period, anywhere
within the United States; provided, however, that Executive may purchase or
otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) 2% of any class of securities of any
enterprise (but without otherwise directly or indirectly participating in the
activities of such enterprise) if such securities are listed on any national or
regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Executive agrees that this covenant is
reasonable with respect to its duration, geographical area, and scope. By
initialing in the space provided below, Executive acknowledges that he has read
carefully and had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel regarding the
provisions of this Section 7(a). _/s/ RCM_ [initial].

     (b) Non-Solicitation. During his employment with the Company and for one
year thereafter, Executive will not directly or indirectly

      (i)    induce or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor
of the Company or any Subsidiary, or their respective Affiliates to leave the
employ or contracting relationship with such entity, or in any way interfere
with the relationship between any such entity and any employee, or     (ii)  
induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier or other business relation of
the Company or any Subsidiary, or their respective Affiliates, to cease doing
business with such entity or in any way interfere with the relationship between
any such customer, supplier or other business relation and such entity. By
initialing in the space provided below,

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

              

Executive acknowledges that he has read carefully and had the opportunity to
consult with legal counsel regarding the provisions of this Section 7(b). _/s/
RCM_ [initial].

     Section 8. Inventions and Patents. Executive acknowledges that all
inventions, innovations, improvements, know how, plans, development, methods,
designs, analyses, specifications, software, drawings, reports and all similar
or related information (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice) which
relate to any of the Company’s actual or proposed business activities and which
are created, designed or conceived, developed or made by Executive during
Executive’s past or future employment by the Company, or any Subsidiary, or any
predecessor thereof (“Work Product”) belong to the Company, or its Subsidiaries,
as applicable. Any copyrightable work falling within the definition of Work
Product shall be deemed a “work made for hire” and ownership of all right title
and interest shall rest in the Company. Executive hereby irrevocably assigns,
transfers and conveys, to the full extent permitted by law, all right, title and
interest in the Work Product, on a worldwide basis, to the Company to the extent
ownership of any such rights does not automatically vest in the Company under
applicable law. Executive will promptly disclose any such Work Product to the
Company and perform all actions requested by the Company (whether during or
after employment) to establish and confirm ownership of such Work Product by the
Company (including without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney
and other instruments.)

     Section 9. Enforcement. The Company and Executive agree that if, at any
time a court holds that anything stated in any Section of this Agreement is
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, then the maximum period, scope
or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for
the stated period, scope or area. Because Executive’s services are unique and
because Executive has access to information of the type described in Sections 6,
7 and 8 hereof, the Company and Executive agree that money damages would be an
inadequate remedy for any breach of Section 6, 7 or 8 hereof. Therefore, in the
event of a breach of Section 6, 7 or 8 hereof, the Company and any Subsidiary
thereof may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor,
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or
injunctive relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the
provisions of Section 6, 7 or 8 hereof. The provisions of Sections 6, 7 and 8
hereof are intended to be for the benefit of the Company and any Subsidiary
thereof and their respective successors and assigns. Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereof
will survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms
notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period. By initialing in the
space provided below, Executive acknowledges that he has read carefully and had
the opportunity to consult with legal counsel regarding the provisions of this
Section 9. _/s/ RCM_ [initial].

     Section 10. Representations and Warranties of Executive. Executive
represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

     (a) Other Agreements. Executive is not a party to or bound by any
