options ("Incentive Stock Options") for 60,000 shares of Employer's common stock
("Common Stock") upon signing of this Agreement. The exercise price will be the

Stock Options shall vest at a rate of 12,000 shares per year, beginning on
August 15, 1999, and continuing on each August 15 thereafter, provided that if
Employee is still employed by Employer on December 31, 2001 but Employer elects

shall vest on December 31, 2001. Further provided, that all Incentive Stock
Options shall immediately vest upon the earlier to occur of the date on which
(i) the termination of this Agreement without cause occurs, (ii) the Employer
sells all or substantially all of its assets, (iii) Employer merges with another
entity in a transaction in which the Employer is not the surviving corporation,

shareholders of Employer (as existing on the date hereof) becomes the Beneficial
Owner (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) directly or
indirectly of 50% or more of the Common Stock of Employer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, vested options will be immediately forfeited, and will no longer be

Section 2.

     (c)  that, during the Employment Period, and for a period of two (2) years

     (g)  that, he will refrain from directly or indirectly disclosing, making
available or using or causing to be used in any manner whatsoever, any
information of Employer or any other Allin Entity of a proprietary or
confidential nature (including, without limitation, information regarding
inventions, processes, formulas, systems, plans, programs, studies, techniques,
"know-how," trade secrets, income or earnings, tax data, customer lists and
contracts to which Employer or any other Allin Entity is a party, but excluding
any such information which may be in the public domain through proper means)
and, upon termination of his employment, such information, to the extent that it

Employer or any other Allin Entity does business;

     (j) that, during the Employment Period, he will not, without the prior

     Employee represents and warrants to Employer that, notwithstanding the
operation of the covenants contained in this Section 4, upon the termination of
his employment hereunder, Employee will be able to obtain employment for the
purpose of earning a livelihood.

     Section 5.  Injunctive Relief.  Because the services to be performed by
     ---------   -----------------                                          
Employee hereunder are of a special, unique, unusual, confidential,
extraordinary and intellectual character which character renders such services
unique and because Employee will acquire by reason of his employment and
association with Employer an extensive knowledge of the trade secrets,
customers, procedures, and other confidential information of Employer and the
other Allin Entities, the parties hereto recognize and acknowledge that, in the
event of a breach or threat of breach by Employee of any of the terms and
provisions contained in Section 4 or Section 7 of this Agreement, monetary
damages alone to Employer or another Allin Entity would not be an adequate
remedy for a breach of any of such terms and provisions.  Therefore, it is
agreed that in the event of a breach or threat of a breach of any of the
provisions of Section 4 or Section 7 of this Agreement by Employee, Employer and
the other Allin Entities shall be entitled to an immediate injunction from any
court of competent jurisdiction restraining Employee, as well as any third
parties including successor employers of Employee whose joinder may be necessary
to effect full and complete relief, from committing or continuing to commit a
breach of such provisions without the showing or proving of actual damages.  Any
preliminary injunction or restraining order shall continue in full force and
effect until any and all disputes between the parties to such injunction or
order regarding this Agreement have been finally resolved.  Employee hereby
agrees to pay all costs of suit incurred by Employer or any other Allin Entity,
including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, in obtaining any such
injunction or order.  Employee hereby waives any right he may have to require
Employer or any other Allin Entity to post a bond or other security with respect
to obtaining or continuing any such injunction or temporary restraining order
and, further, hereby releases Employer, the other Allin Entities and the
officers, directors, employees and agents of any of the foregoing from, and
waives any claim for damages against them which he might have with respect to
Employer or any other Allin Entity obtaining in good faith any injunction or
restraining order pursuant to this Agreement.

     Section  6.  Absence of Restrictions.  Employee hereby represents and
     ----------   -----------------------
warrants that he has full power, authority and legal right to enter into this
Agreement and to carry out his obligations and duties hereunder and that the
execution, delivery and performance by Employee of this Agreement will not
violate or conflict with, or constitute a default under, any agreements or other
understandings to which Employee is a party or by which he may be bound or
affected, including, but not limited to, any order, judgment or decree of any
court or governmental agency.

     Section 7.  Patents and Inventions.  Employee will promptly submit to
     ---------   ----------------------
Employer written disclosures of all inventions, improvements, discoveries and
new ideas, relating to the business of Employer or any other Allin Entity,
whether or not patentable (hereinafter called "Inventions"), which are made or
conceived by Employee, alone or jointly with others, during the Employment
Period. Title to all such Inventions that shall be within the existing or
contemplated scope of the business of Employee or another Allin Entity at the
time such Inventions are made or conceived or which result from or are suggested
by any work Employee or others may do for or on behalf of Employer or any other
Allin Entity, together with such patent, patents or other legal protection as
may be obtained thereon in the United States of America and all foreign
countries, shall belong to Employer. Employee will assign any rights or interest
in such title to Employer, and upon the request of Employer, will at any time
during the Employment Period and after termination of Employee's employment for
any reason, execute all proper papers for use in applying for, obtaining,
maintaining and enforcing such patents or other legal protection as Employer may
desire and will execute and deliver all proper assignments thereof, when so
requested, without remuneration but at the expense of Employer.

     Section 8.  General.
     ---------   ------- 

     (a)  Interpretation.  If the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement
          --------------
should be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction because of the time limitation or geographical area therein
provided, such provisions shall nevertheless be effective and enforceable for
such period of time and/or such geographical area as may be held to be
reasonable by such court. Any provision of this Agreement that is invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions of this
Agreement, and any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not, of
itself, affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any
other jurisdiction.
