5.   TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY WITH CAUSE. The Company may terminate this
     Agreement if any of the following events shall occur:

     (a)  the death or disability of the Executive (for purposes of this
          Agreement, "disability" shall mean the Executive's incapacity due to
          physical or mental illness which has caused the Executive to be absent
          from the full-time performance of his duties with the Company for a
          period of six (6) consecutive months).

     (b)  any action or inaction by the Executive that constitutes larceny,
          fraud, gross negligence, a willful or negligent misrepresentation to
          the directors or officers of the Company, its successors or assigns,
          or a crime involving moral turpitude; or

     (c)  the refusal of the Executive to follow the reasonable and lawful
          written instructions of the Board of Directors, and/or the CEO, with
          respect to the services to be rendered and the manner of rendering
          such services by Executive, provided such refusal is material and
          repetitive and is not justified or excused either by the terms of this
          Agreement or by actions taken by the Company in violation of this
          Agreement, and with respect to the first two refusals Executive has
          been given reasonable written notice and explanation thereof and
          reasonable opportunity to cure and no cure has been effected within a
          reasonable time after such notice.

     The Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5
     immediately upon written notice to the Executive, except for termination
     due to the death of the Executive, which shall require no notice.

     (a)  TERMINATION OF THE EXECUTIVE. Executive may terminate this Agreement
          at any time by providing a minimum of two (2) weeks of written notice
          to the Company.

     (b)  TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY WITHOUT CAUSE. The Company may terminate
          this Agreement at any time, without cause by providing written notice
          to Executive. As used in this Agreement, the term "without cause"
          shall mean termination for any reason not specified in Section 5
          hereof, except for retirement.

     (c)  CHANGE IN CONTROL. A "Change in Control" will be deemed to have
          occurred if: (1) the Company effectuates a Takeover Transaction; or
          (2) any election of directors of the Company (whether by the directors
          then in office or by the stockholders at a meeting or by written
          consent) where a majority of the directors in office following such
          election are individuals who were not nominated by a vote of
          two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors immediately
          preceding such election; or (3) the Company effectuates a complete
          liquidation of the Company or a sale or disposition of all or
          substantially all of its assets. A "Change in Control" shall not be
          deemed to include, however, a merger or sale of stock, assets or
          business of the Company if the Executive immediately after such event
          owns, or in connection with such event immediately acquires (other
          than in the Executive's capacity as an equity holder of the Company or
          as a beneficiary of its employee stock ownership plan or profit
          sharing plan), any stock of the buyer or any affiliate thereof.

     (d)  TAKEOVER TRANSACTION. A "Takeover Transaction" shall mean (i) a merger
          or consolidation of the Company with, or an acquisition of the Company
          or all or substantially all of its assets by, any other corporation,
          other than a merger, consolidation or acquisition in which the
          individuals who were members of the Board of Directors of the Company
          are or become a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of
          the surviving corporation (or, in the case of an acquisition involving
          a holding company, constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of
          the holding company) for a period of not less than twelve (12) months
          following the closing of such transaction, or (ii) when any person or
          entity or group of persons or entities (other than any trustee or
          other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of
          the Company, either related or acting in concert becomes the
          "beneficial owner" as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of securities of the Company
          representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of
          votes that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company.

     (e)  TERMINATING EVENT. A "Terminating Event" shall mean: (i) termination
          by the Company of the employment of the Executive without Cause
          occurring within twelve (12) months of a Change in Control; or (ii)
          resignation of the Executive from the employ of the Company subsequent
          to any of the following events occurring within twelve (12) months of
          a Change in Control: (A) a significant reduction in the nature or
          scope of the Executive's responsibilities, authorities, powers,
          functions or duties from the responsibilities, authorities, powers,
          functions or duties exercised by the Executive immediately prior to
          the Change in Control; (B) a decrease in the salary payable by the
          Company to the Executive from the salary payable to the Executive
          immediately prior to the Change in Control except for across-the-board
          salary reductions similarly affecting all management personnel of the
          Company; (C) elimination or reduction of the Executive's participation
          in the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan; or (D) the relocation of
          the Company's executive offices (or, if the Executive is primarily
          located at the Company's software development facilities, such
          facilities) by more than 50 miles from their current location in
          Westport, Connecticut (unless such new location is closer than
          Westport, Connecticut to the Executive's then residence); provided,
          however, that a Terminating Event shall not be deemed to have occurred
          (iii) solely as a result of the Executive being an employee of any
          direct or indirect successor to the business or assets of the Company,
          rather than continuing as an employee of the Company following a
          Change in Control, or (iv) while the Executive is receiving payments
          or benefits from a Company sponsored plan by reason of the Executive's
          disability.

6.2  SEVERANCE

     (a)  WITHOUT CAUSE. If the Company terminates this Agreement without Cause,
          other than as a result of a Terminating Event, then commencing on the
          date of such termination, and for a period equal to six (6) months
          thereafter, the Company shall provide Executive with a severance
          package which shall consist of the following: (i) payment on the first
          business day of each month of an amount equal to one-twelfth of the
          Executive's then current annualized base salary under Section 3(a)
          hereof; (ii) payment on the first business day of each month of an
          amount equal to one-twelfth of the Executive's annual target bonus
          amount under the Company's Executive Incentive Compensation Plan for
          the year of termination, pro rated for the portion of the fiscal year
          occurring prior to termination; and (iii) continuation of all benefits
          under Section 4(a), (b) and (d).

     (b)  WITH A TERMINATING EVENT. If the Company terminates this Agreement as
          a result of a Terminating Event, then commencing on the date of such
          termination and for a period equal to one (1) year thereafter, the
          Company shall provide Executive with a severance package which shall
          consist of the following: (i) payment on the first business day of
          each month an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Executive's then
          current annual base salary under Section 3(a) hereof; (ii) payment on
          the first business day of each month of an amount equal to one-twelfth
          of the Executive's annual target bonus amount under the Company's
          Executive Incentive Compensation Plan; and (iii) continuation of all
          benefits under Section 4(a), (b), and (d). In addition, if the Company
          terminates this Agreement as a result of a Terminating Event, then the
          Company shall cause the immediate vesting of all options granted to
          the Executive under the Company's stock plans. At any time when the
          Company is obligated to make monthly payments under Section 6.2(b),
          the Company shall, ten (10) days after receipt of a written request
          from the Executive, pay the Executive an amount equal to the balance
          of the amounts payable under Section 6.2(b)(i)-(ii), provided that the
          obligation of the Company to continue to provide benefits pursuant to
          Section 6.2(b) (iii) or to make monthly payments under 6.2(b) (i)-(ii)
          shall cease upon the payment of such amount.

     (C)  GENERAL RELEASE. As a condition precedent to receiving any severance
          payment, the Executive shall execute a general release of any and all
          claims with Executive or his heirs, executors, agents or assigns might
          have against the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors,
          assigns and its past, present and future employees, officers,
          directors, agents and attorneys.

     (d)  RESIGNATION. If the Executive terminates this Agreement, he shall have
          no rights to receive severance payments from the Company.

7.   NON-COMPETITION. During the term of this Agreement and (a) in the case of
     termination other than as a result of a Terminating Event, for six (6)
     months following the termination of this Agreement or (b) in the case of
     termination as a result of a Terminating Event, for one (1) year following
     the termination of this Agreement, Executive will not directly or
     indirectly whether as a partner, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer,
     greater than two percent owner or otherwise or through any other Person (as
     hereafter defined): (i) be engaged in any business or activity which is
     competitive with the business of the Company in any part of the world in
     which the Company is at the time of the Executive's termination engaged in
     selling its products directly or indirectly; or (ii) attempt to recruit any
     employee of the Company, assist in their hiring by any other person, or
     encourage any employee to terminate his or her employment with the Company;
     or


<PAGE>

     (iii) encourage any customer of the Company to conduct with any other
     person any business or activity which such customer conducts or could
     conduct with the Company. For purpose of this Section 7, the term "Company"
     shall include any person controlling, under common control with, or
     controlled by, the Company.

     For purposes of this Section 7, the term "Person" shall mean an individual
     or corporation, association or partnership in estate or trust or any other
     entity or organization.

     The Executive recognizes and agrees that because a violation by him of this
     Section 7 will cause irreparable harm to the Company that could not be
     quantified and for which money damages would be inadequate, the Company
     shall have the right to injunctive relief to prevent or restrain any such
     violation, without the necessity of posting a bond.

     Executive expressly agrees that the character, duration and scope of this
     covenant not to compete are reasonable in light of the circumstances as
     they exist at the date upon which this Agreement has been executed.
     However, should a determination nonetheless be made by a court of competent
     jurisdiction at a later date that the character, duration or scope of this
     covenant not to compete is unreasonable in light of the circumstances as
     they then exist, then it is the intention of both Executive and the Company
     that this covenant not to compete shall be construed by the court in such a
     manner as to impose only those restrictions on the conduct of Executive
     which are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist and
     necessary to provide the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law the
     intended benefit of this covenant to compete.

8.   CONFIDENTIALITY COVENANTS. Executive understands that Company may impart to
     him confidential business information including, without limitations,
     designs, financial information, personnel information, strategic plans,
     product development information and the like (collectively "Confidential
     Information"). Executive hereby acknowledges Company's exclusive ownership
     of such Confidential Information.

     Executive agrees as follows: (1) only to use the Confidential Information
     to provide services to the Company; (2) only to communicate Confidential
     Information to fellow employees, agents and representatives of the Company
     on a need-to-know basis; and (3) not to otherwise disclose or use any
     Confidential Information. Upon demand by the Company or upon termination of
     Executive's employment, Executive will deliver to the Company all manuals,
     photographs, recordings, and any other instrument or device by which,
     through which, or on which Confidential Information has been recorded
     and/or preserved, which are in Executive's possession, custody or control.
     Executive acknowledges that for purposes of this Section 8 that term
     "Company" means any person or entity now or hereafter during the term of
     this Agreement which controls, is under common control with, or is
     controlled by, the Company.

     The Executive recognizes and agrees that because a violation by him of this
     Section 8 will cause irreparable harm to the Company that could not be
     quantified and for which money damages would be inadequate, the Company
     shall have the right to injunctive relief to prevent or restrain any such
     violations, without the necessity of posting a bond.

9.   GOVERNING LAW/JURISDICTION. This Agreement shall be governed by and
     interpreted and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of
     Connecticut. The parties agree that this Agreement was made and entered
     into in Connecticut and each party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of a
     competent court in Connecticut to hear any dispute arising out of this
     Agreement.

10.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
     the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof
     and supersedes any and all previous agreements, written and oral, regarding
     the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto. This Agreement shall
     not be changed, altered, modified or amended, except by a written agreement
     signed by both parties hereto.

11.  NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required
     or permitted to be given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing
     and shall be deemed to have been given if delivered by hand, sent by
     generally recognized overnight courier service, telex or telecopy, or

     this Section, designate another address or person for receipt of notices
     hereunder.

12.  SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the
     application thereof to any person or under any circumstance, shall to any
     extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the
     application of such terms to the persons or under circumstances other than
     those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall be considered
     severable and shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this
     Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
     law. The invalid or unenforceable provisions shall, to the extent permitted
     by law, be deemed amended and given such interpretation as to achieve the
     economic intent of this Agreement.

13.  WAIVER. The failure of any party to insist in any once instance or more
     upon strict performance of any of the terms and conditions hereof, or to
     exercise any right of privilege herein conferred, shall not be construed as
     a waiver of such terms, conditions, rights or privileges, but same shall
     continue to remain in full force and effect. Any waiver by any party of any
     violation of, breach of or default under any provision of this Agreement by
     the other party shall not be construed as, or constitute, a continuing
     waiver of such provision, or waiver of any other violation of, breach of or
     default under any other provision of this Agreement.
