     3.2 Expenses. The Company will reimburse the Executive for reasonable
business-related expenses incurred by her in connection with the performance of
her duties hereunder during the Term, subject, however, to the Company's written
policies relating to business-related expenses as in effect, from time to time,

                                    ARTICLE 4

                 Exclusivity, Confidentiality and Noncompetition

     4.1 Exclusivity, Etc. The Executive agrees to perform her duties,
responsibilities and obligations hereunder efficiently and to the best of her
ability. The Executive agrees that she will devote her attention and best
efforts to such duties, responsibilities and obligations throughout the Term,
subject to any obligations to third parties in existence as of the date hereof,
which obligations may not be in conflict with Section 4.2(d) hereof. The
Executive also agrees that she will not engage in any other business activities
pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage that are competitive with
the activities of the Company, except as permitted in Section 4.2 below. The
Executive agrees that her activities as an employee of the Company shall be in
conformity with all policies, rules and regulations of the Company not
inconsistent with this Agreement.

     4.2 Confidentiality and Noncompetition.

     (a) The term "Confidential Information," as employed in this Agreement,
means, except to the extent such information is otherwise publicly available and
such public availability was not caused in any manner by the Executive, (i) any
object, material, device, substance, data, report, record, forecast,
interpretation or information, whether written or oral, not in the public domain
and relating to or reflecting any product, design, process, procedure, formula,
research, idea, invention, discovery, improvement, equipment, scientific or
technical information, method of production, business plan, financial
information, listing of names, addresses or telephone numbers, trade secret
and/or know how, and all matters pertaining thereto, of the Company and its
affiliates, whether or not contained in any written document, which are or have
been directly or indirectly communicated to, acquired by, or learned by the
Executive as a result of her relationship (whether as an employee or otherwise)
with the Company or any of its affiliates and (ii) any analysis, compilation,
note, study, sample, drawing, sketch, computer program, computer file or other
document, whether prepared by or under the direction of the Company or any of
its affiliates, the Executive or others, and all copies, facsimiles, replicas,
photographs, and reproductions thereof, which contain, relate to, or reflect any
of the aforementioned items.

     (b) The Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either disclose any
Confidential Information, except to the extent required in the performance of
her duties as an employee of the Company or use any Confidential Information for
the benefit of herself or any person, firm, corporation, or association other
than the Company or any of its affiliates, during the Term or thereafter.

     (c) All samples, drawings, sketches, documents and written information of
any kind reflecting any of the Confidential Information or relating to the
Company's or any of its affiliates'

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

business or products which come into the possession of the Executive shall
remain the sole property of the Company or such affiliate and shall not be
copied, photocopied, reprinted or otherwise reproduced or disseminated by the
Executive, except in the performance of her duties as an employee of the
Company. Upon the termination of the Executive's employment by the Company, the
Executive shall return all such samples, drawings, sketches, documents and
written information, and all copies, facsimiles, replicas, photocopies, and
reproductions of them, to the Company.

     (d) The Executive hereby covenants and agrees to refrain, during the Term
hereof and for a period of two (2) years after the date of termination of the
Executive's employment during the Term (i) if such termination during the Term
was for Cause (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) if the Executive terminates
employment during the Term on her own volition, provided that if Executive
terminates employment during the term for Good Reason or for Change of Control
(as defined in this Agreement), such period shall be eighteen (18) months, from,
directly or indirectly, (a) engaging on her own behalf in the Company's business
or (b) owning any interest in or engaging in or performing any service for any
person, firm, corporation or other entity, either as a partner, owner, employee,
consultant, agent officer, director or shareholder that (A) derives a meaningful
portion of its revenues from the Company's business or (B) is a meaningful
competitor in the Company's business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for
purposes of this Section 4.2(d), the term "Term" shall not include any
month-to-month extensions of this Agreement. The Executive will not at any time
during the period of the Executive's employment by the Company and for a period
of two (2) years thereafter induce or assist others to induce or attempt to
induce, in any manner, directly or indirectly, any employee, agent,
representative, customer or any other person or concern dealing with or in any
way associated with the Company or any of its affiliates to terminate or to
modify in any other fashion to the detriment of the Company or any of its
affiliates such association with the Company or any of its affiliates. The
Executive represents that her experience and capabilities are such that the
provisions of this paragraph will not prevent her from earning a livelihood.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 4.2(d), (i) it shall not be a
violation of this Section 4.2(d) for the Executive to own two percent (2%) or
less of a public company, provided that the Executive does not exert or have the
power to exert any management or other control over such public company, and
(ii) the Executive shall not be required to sell or transfer the Executive's
ownership interest in any company involved in the Company's business which the
Executive owns as of the date of this Agreement.

     (e) The parties hereto agree that the Executive's agreements contained in
paragraph (b) through (d) of this Article relate to matters of unique character
and peculiar value impossible of replacement, that breach of such agreements by
the Executive will cause the Company great and irreparable injury therefor, that
the remedy at law for any breach of the agreements contained in (b) through (d)
will be inadequate and that the Company, in addition to any other relief
available to it, shall be entitled to seek temporary restraining orders and
temporary and permanent injunctive relief or other equitable relief without the
necessity of proving actual damage or of providing any bond so as to prevent a
breach of any of the agreements contained in (b) through (d) of this Article and
to secure the enforcement thereof.

                                    ARTICLE 5

     5.1 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of the Executive's
employment for any reason, the Company shall pay to the Executive (or her
beneficiary, heirs or estate in the event of her death) any unpaid base salary
or other compensation then payable to Executive in accordance with the normal
pay practices of the Company upon a termination of employees for similar
reasons.

     5.2 Termination by the Company. The Company shall have the right, subject
to the terms of this Agreement, to terminate the Executive's employment at any
time, with or without "Cause." For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall
mean the (i) the willful and continued failure by Executive to substantially
perform his duties hereunder (other than by reason of disability) which failure
is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice from the Company that
specifically identifies such failure, (ii) willful breach by Executive of any of
the other material terms and conditions of this Agreement which breach is not
cured within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written notice from the
Company that specifically identifies such breach, or (iii) pleading no contest
or guilty to a felony charge or being convicted of a felony.

     5.3 Termination by Executive for Good Reason. (a) Executive shall have the
right, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to terminate her employment at
any time with "Good Reason." For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall
mean (i) any assignment to Executive of any duties diminishing in any material
respect those contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) a willful failure by the
Company to comply with any material provision of this Agreement, or (iii) the
occurrence of an event which directly results in a change of Executive's
reporting responsibility such that Executive is required to report to any person
other than to Michael Cherkasky.

     (b) In the event of termination of the Executive's employment (i) by the
Company other than for Cause, or (ii) by the Executive for Good Reason, the
Company shall pay the Executive, in addition to the amounts described in Section
5.1 hereof, the greater of (i) an amount equal to the value of the continued
payment of the Executive's then current base salary (as defined in Exhibit A
hereto) for the remainder of the Term, or (ii) an amount equal to Executive's
then current base salary for eighteen (18) months (the greater of the amounts
referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the "Good Reason Payment.") The Good
Reason Payment shall be payable in lump sum. The Company shall provide medical
coverage to Executive as provided at the time of termination, at the Company's
expense, for a period of the remainder of the Term or eighteen (18) months,
whichever is greater. In addition, any unvested Restricted Stock granted to
Executive will automatically vest, including but not limited to the Restricted
Stock granted pursuant to Exhibit A, subparagraph (f).

<PAGE>

     5.4 Termination by Executive for Change of Control of the Company. (a) For
purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control of the Company" shall be deemed
to have occurred if (i) any "person" (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and
14(d) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended) is or becomes the "beneficial
owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding securities, (ii) an unapproved change in the majority of the
company's Board of Directors, or (iii) shareholder approval of liquidation or
dissolution of the Company or sale of substantially all of its assets.

    (b) In the event a Change of Control of the Company occurs which results in
a change in Executive's title, position, responsibilities or duties as provided
in Article 1 of this Agreement, or otherwise in Executive's current capacity,
and Executive elects to terminate her employment, the Company shall pay the
Executive the amounts described in Section 5.1 herein and the greater of (i) an
amount equal to the value of the continued payment of the Executive's then base
salary (as defined in Exhibit A hereto) for the remainder of the Term, or (ii)
an amount equal to Executive's then current base salary for eighteen (18) months
plus one and one-half times the average annual bonus paid to Executive for the
prior two (2) completed years (the greater of the amounts referred to in clauses
(i) and (ii) above, the "Change of Control Payment.") The Change of Control
Payment shall be payable in lump sum. The Company shall provide medical coverage
to Executive as provided at the time of termination, at the Company's expense,
for a period of the remainder of the Term or eighteen (18) months, whichever is
greater. In addition, any unvested Restricted Stock granted to Executive will
automatically vest, including but not limited to the Restricted Stock granted to
Executive pursuant to Exhibit A, subparagraph (f), and any unvested stock
options granted to Executive will automatically vest.

     (c) If, upon a Change of Control of the Company, the Executive's title,
position, responsibilities or duties as provided in Article 1 of this Agreement,
or otherwise in Executive's current capacity, are unchanged or superior, the
Executive will not be eligible to receive the Change of Control Payment. This
Section 5.4(c) shall not affect Executive's right to receive the Good Reason
Payment or the accelerated vesting of Executive's Restricted Stock or options as
otherwise provided in this Agreement.

     5.5 Death. In the event the Executive dies during the Term, this Agreement
shall automatically terminate, such termination to be effective on the date of
the Executive's death. Any sums due to Executive at the time of Executive's
death, including the Good Reason Payment or the Change of Control Payment, shall
be paid to Executive's beneficiary, heirs or estate.

     5.6 Effect of Non-Renewal In the event that the Company fails to offer
Executive to renew the terms of this Agreement for at least one (1) year
following the end of the Term at a salary level at least equal to Executive's
then current base salary, the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to
Executive's then current base salary for one (1) year. The Company agrees to
provide the Executive with six (6) months' notice of whether, and on which
terms, it intends to renew the contract.

5.7 Gross-Up; Section 280G of the Code

          (a) General. If it is determined that any portion of the payments as
hereinafter defined (the "Payments") would be subject to the excise tax imposed
by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") or any interest or
penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any
interest or penalties hereon, is herein referred to as an "Excise Tax"), then
the Executive shall be entitled to an additional cash payment (a "Gross-Up
Payment") in an amount that will place the Executive in the same after-tax
economic position that the Executive would have enjoyed if the Excise Tax had
not applied to the Payment. The amount of the Gross-Up Payment shall be
determined by a nationally recognized accounting firm agreed upon by executive
and the Company (the "Accounting Firm"). No Gross-Up Payments shall be payable
hereunder if the Accounting Firm determines that the Payments are not subject to
an Excise Tax. The Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Company for services
performed under this Agreement.

          "Payment" means (i) any amount due or paid to the Executive under this
Agreement, (ii) any amount that is due or paid to the Executive under any plan,
program or arrangement of the Company and its subsidiaries, and (iii) any amount
or benefit that is due or payable to the Executive under this Agreement or under
any plan, program or arrangement of the Company and its subsidiaries or
affiliates not otherwise covered under clause (i) or (ii) hereof which must
reasonably be taken into account under Section 280G of the code and the
regulations pertinent thereto in determining the amount of the "parachute
payments" received by the Executive, including, without limitation, any amounts
which must be taken into account under the Code and regulations as a result of
the acceleration of the vesting of any stock options held by the Executive and
any other equity compensation that the Executive may receive in the future.

          (b) Determination of Gross-Up Payment. Subject to the provisions of
5.7(c) all determinations required under this Section 5.7, including whether a
Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of the Payments constituting excess
parachute payments, and the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, shall be made by the
Accounting Firm, which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to
the Executive and the Company within fifteen days of any date reasonably
requested by the Executive or the Company on which a determination under this
Section 5.7 is necessary or advisable. The Company shall pay the Executive in
cash the initial Gross-Up Payment within 5 days of the receipt by the Executive
and the Company of the Accounting Firm's determination. If the Accounting Firm
determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, the Company shall
cause the Accounting Firm to provide the Executive with an opinion that the
Accounting Firm has substantial authority under the Code and regulations
promulgated thereunder not to report an Excise Tax on the Executive's federal
income tax return. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding
upon the Executive and the Company. If the initial Gross-Up payment is
insufficient to completely place the Executive in the same after-tax economic
position that the Executive would have enjoyed if the excise Tax had not applied
to the Payments (hereinafter an "Underpayment"), the company, after exhausting
its remedies under Section 5.7(d) below, shall promptly pay the Executive in
cash an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of the Underpayment.

          (c) Procedures. The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of
any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the
payment by the Company of a

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Gross-Up Payment. Such notice shall be given as soon as practicable after the
Executive knows of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of the
claim and the date on which the claim is requested to be paid. The Executive
agrees not to pay the claim until the expiration of the thirty-day period
following the date on which the Executive notifies the Company, or such shorter
period ending on the date the taxes with respect to such claim are due (the
"Notice Period"). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the
expiration of the Notice Period that it desires to contest the claim, the
Executive shall: (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by
the Company relating to the claim; (ii) take such action in connection with the
claim as the Company may reasonably request, including, without limitation,
accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney
reasonably selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive;
(iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in contesting the claim; and (iv)
permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to the claim. The
Executive shall permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to
the claim. The Executive shall permit the Company to control all proceedings
related to the claim and, at its option, permit the Company to pursue or forgo
any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings, and conferences with
the taxing authority in respect of such claim. If requested by the Company, the
Executive agrees either to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest
the claim in any permissible manner and to prosecute such contest to a
determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial
jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts as the Company shall determine;
provided however, that, if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim
and pursue a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the
Executive on an after-tax and interest-free basis (the "Advance"). The Company's
control for the contest related to the claim shall be limited to the issues
related to the Gross-Up Payment and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or
contest, as the case may be, any other issues raised by the Internal Revenue
Service or other taxing authority. If the Company does not notify the Executive
in writing prior to the end of the Notice Period of its desire to contest the
claim, the Company shall pay the Executive in cash an additional Gross-Up
Payment in respect of the excess parachute payments that are the subject of the
claim, and the Executive agrees to pay the amount of the Excise Tax that is the
subject of the claim to the applicable taxing authority in accordance with
applicable law.

          (d) Repayments. If, after receipt by the Executive of an Advance, the
Executive becomes entitled to a refund with respect to the claim to which such
Advance relates, the Executive shall pay the Company the amount of the refund
(together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable
thereto.) If, after receipt by the Executive of an Advance, a determination is
made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to the
claim and the Company does not promptly notify the Executive of its intent to
contest the denial of refund, then the amount of the Advance shall not be
required to be repaid by the Executive and the amount thereof shall offset the
amount of the additional Gross-Up Payment then owing to the Executive.

          (e) Further Assurances. The Company shall indemnify the Executive and
hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any costs, expenses,
penalties, fines, interest or other liabilities ("Losses") incurred by the
Executive with respect to the exercise by the Company of any of its rights under
this Section 5.7, including, without limitation, any Losses related to the
Company's decision to contest a claim or any imputed income to the Executive
resulting from any Advance or action taken on the Executive's behalf by the
Company hereunder. The Company shall pay all legal fees and expenses incurred
under this Section 5.7, and shall promptly reimburse the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Executive for the reasonable expenses incurred y the Executive in connection
with any actions taken by the Company or required to be taken by the Executive
hereunder. The Company shall also pay all of the fees and expenses of the
Accounting Firm, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses related to
the opinion referred to in Section 5.7(b).

                                    ARTICLE 6

be payable to the Executive hereunder if she had continued to live, all such
amounts shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the
Executive's beneficiary, devisee, legatee or other designee, or if there is no
such designee, to the Executive's estate.

     (b) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by

substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession

and (b) in the case of the Executive, to the Executive's last known address as
reflected in the Company's records, or to such other address as the Executive
shall designate by written notice to the Company. Any notice given hereunder
