     ------------------------------------
     will start as of May 3, 1999 (placeholder). No provision of this letter
     shall be construed to create an express or implied employment contract for

     that either you or OneSoft may terminate the employment relationship at any
     time and for any reason.

3.   Salary.  Your initial salary will be at the rate of $12,500.00 per month,

     compensation will be mutually agreed upon between you and Jim MacIntyre. In
     addition, OneSoft will grant you an interest free loan in the amount of
     $30,000.00. This loan will be paid back from earned bonuses over a twenty-
     four month period of time. $15,000.00 of which will be paid back within the

     Board of Directors, at the time that the Board approves your options. The
     incentive stock options will be subject to the restrictions set forth in
     OneSoft's 1997 Employee, consultant and Director Stock Option Plan and the
     Incentive Stock Option Agreement representing this option.

5.   Benefits.  As a salaried employee you will be paid for 8 holidays, vacation

     is subject to approval and acceptance by OneSoft's Group Insurance Carriers

     1. The Employee will make full and prompt written disclosure to the Company
of all inventions, innovations, improvements, modifications, know-how,

     2.  All Developments devised, made, developed or perfected after
termination of the Employee's employment are within the provisions of Paragraph

use of Company resources or facilities.

     3.  At the request and expense of the Company but without charge to the
Company, the Employee will do all acts and things as may be necessary to confirm
and vest the entire right, title and interest in the Developments in the Company
and secure to the Company full protection of the same, including without

other documents or papers.  In order to confirm the Company's rights, the
Employee will also assign to the Company any and all copyrights and reproduction
rights to any written material prepared by the Employee in connection with his

     4.  All Developments furnished by the Employee to the Company will be the
Employee's own and original creation except for materials in the public domain
and will not to the best of his knowledge or belief violate or infringe upon any
right, patent, copyright, trademark or right of privacy, or constitute libel or
slander against or violate any other rights of any person, firm or corporation.

     5.  During the Employee's period of employment with the Company and after
the voluntary or involuntary termination of such employment, whether initiated
by the Employee or the Company, the Employee will hold in the strictest
confidence and will not, without the express written authority of the Company

reason, he shall not take from, and will promptly return to the Company, any and
all Confidential Information and any writings or documents whatever or
reproductions thereof and any and all other information of a proprietary, secret

paragraph 5 above them in Employee's possession or control.

     7.  The Employee represents and warrants to the Company as follows:  (i) he
is not under any obligation to any person which is inconsistent or in conflict
with this letter agreement or which would prevent, limit or impair in any way
the performance of his obligations hereunder;
<PAGE>

and (ii) he has not disclosed and will not disclose to the Company, nor use for
the Company's benefit, any confidential information or trade secrets of any
prior employer or principal, unless and until such confidential information and
trade secrets have become public knowledge without the Employee's participation,
or unless such disclosure is permitted by any agreement with such prior employer
or principal.

     8. The Employee agrees that during the term of his employment with the
Company he will not: (a) directly or indirectly, either as principal, agent,
employee, consultant, officer, director, stockholder, or in any other capacity,
engage in or have a financial interest in, any business which is competitive

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a business will be deemed

services and/or the research, development, production, manufacture, marketing,
distribution, licensing, or sale of any product which is or is intended to be
directly or indirectly competitive with or similar to services performed and
products being researched, developed, produced, manufactured, marketed,

specified period of employment, such employment being at the will of both the
Company and the Employee unless otherwise agreed in writing; and the voluntary
or involuntary termination of the Employee's employment shall not affect the
obligations of the Employee and the Company hereunder.

     10.  The Employee acknowledges that should he breach any of the covenants
set forth in this letter, monetary damages would not provide the Company with an
adequate remedy for such breach, and he hereby consents in addition to any
monetary award to the entry of an order in any court of competent jurisdiction
enjoining any activity constituting such a breach and requiring specific
performance of his obligations hereunder.

     11.  If any portion or provision of this letter agreement should be
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
then this letter agreement is intended to and shall be valid and enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law.

     12.  Nothing contained in this letter agreement shall refer to or affect
any condition of employment or other item not specifically mentioned herein.
This letter agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to its conflict of
law provisions, and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs,
executors, administrators, personal representatives and assigns of the
<PAGE>

actions arising under this Agreement. Any such dispute or action shall be heard
by a judge sitting without a jury, and both parties forever waive their right to
a civil jury trial with respect thereto.
