and diligently endeavor to the best of his ability to further the best interest
of the Company during the period of his employment. However, Employee is not
prohibited from making personal investments in any other businesses, as long as

         5.   ILLNESS OR INCAPACITY: Employee is entitled to absences because of
illness or incapacity of no more than a total of ninety (90) days in each
calendar year. If Employee cannot perform his duties because of illness or
incapacity for more than a total of ninety (90) days in any year, the Company

Employee is not entitled to receive, and the Company shall not be required to 
pay, Employee's compensation hereunder for absences because of illness or 
incapacity other than the total of ninety (90) days in each year granted to 
Employee under this Section 5. If Employee returns to work and is able to 
discharge his duties in full, Employee shall be deemed reinstated and 
thereafter shall be entitled to full compensation hereunder.

         6.   TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT UPON SALE OR TERMINATION OF COMPANY'S

              a.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Company may terminate Employee's employment upon thirty (30)
days' written notice to Employee upon the occurrence of any of the following
events:

                   (1)  The acquisition, directly or indirectly, of any "person"
         (excluding any "person" who on the date hereof owns or controls ten
         percent (10%) or more of the voting power of the Company's common
         stock), as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, within any twelve (12)
         month period of securities of the Company representing an aggregate of
         fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the
         Company's then outstanding securities; provided, that for purposes of
         this Paragraph (a), "acquisition" shall not include shares which are
         received by a person through gift, inheritance, under a will or
         otherwise through the laws of descent and distribution;

                   (2)  During any period of two consecutive years, individuals
         who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors
         of the Company (the "Board"), cease for any reason to constitute at
         least a majority thereof, unless the election of each new director was
         approved in advance by a vote of at least a majority of the directors
         then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such
         period; or

                   (3)  The occurrence of any other event or circumstance which
         is not covered by (1) or (2) above which the Board reasonably
         determines affects control of the Company and, in order to implement
         the purposes of this Agreement, adopts a resolution that such event or
         circumstance constitutes an "event" under this Paragraph 6.

              b.   If the Company terminates Employee pursuant to Paragraph
6(a), Company will, for the Applicable Period (as defined in Paragraph 8(c)),
pay Employee his then current salary (subject to decrease pursuant to Schedule 
A, but without any increase pursuant to Schedule A) and provide Employee with
Group Health Insurance, but Company shall not be required to pay any other
compensation or provide any other benefits.

employer with a copy of this Agreement, and (b) upon accepting any position,
provide the Company with the employer's name and a description of the services,
if any, Employee will provide for such employer.

              j.   WORK FOR HIRE ACKNOWLEDGMENT; ASSIGNMENT. All writings,
drawings, photographs, tapes, recordings, computer programs and other works in
any tangible medium of expression, regardless of the form of medium, which have
been or are prepared by Employee, or to which Employee contributes, in
connection with Employee's employment by the Company (collectively the "Works")
and all copyrights and other rights in and to the Works, belong solely,
irrevocably and exclusively throughout the world to the Company as works made
for hire. However, to the extent any court or agency should conclude that the
Works (or any of them) do not constitute or qualify as a "work made for hire,"
Employee hereby assigns, grants and delivers, solely, irrevocably, exclusively
and throughout the world to the Company all copyrights and other rights to the
Works. Employee also agrees to cooperate with the Company and to execute such
other further grants and assignments of all rights as the Company from time to
time reasonably may request for the purpose of evidencing, enforcing,
registering or defending its ownership of the Works and the copyrights in them,
and Employee hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Company as
Employee's agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, in
Employee's name, place and stead, to execute and deliver any and all such
assignments or other instruments which Employee shall fail or refuse promptly to
execute and deliver, this power and agency being coupled with an interest and
being irrevocable. Without limiting the preceding provisions of this Paragraph
8(j), Employee agrees that the Company may edit and otherwise modify, and use,
publish and otherwise exploit, the Works in all media and in such manner as the
Company, in its discretion, may determine.



                                       5
<PAGE>   6
              k.   INVENTIONS, IDEAS AND PATENTS. Employee shall disclose
promptly to the Company (which shall receive it in confidence), and only to the
Company, any invention or idea of Employee (developed alone or with others)
conceived or made during Employee's employment by the Company. Employee assigns
to the Company any such invention or idea in any way connected with Employee's
employment or related to the Business, research or development of the Company,
or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company, and will
cooperate with the Company and sign all papers deemed necessary by the Company
to enable it to obtain, maintain, protect and defend patents covering such
inventions and ideas and to confirm the exclusive ownership of the Company of
all rights in such inventions, ideas and patents, and irrevocably appoints the
Company as its agent to execute and deliver any assignments or documents
Employee fails or refuses to execute and deliver promptly, this power and agency
being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable. This constitutes written
notification to Employee that this assignment does not apply to an invention for
which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the
Company or any Customer was used and which was developed entirely on Employee's
own time, unless (a) the invention relates (i) directly to the Business or (ii)
to the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the
Company, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by Employee for
the Company.

              l.   INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS. The covenants contained herein
shall be construed as agreements independent of each other and of any other
provision of this or any other contract between the parties hereto, and the
existence of any claim or cause of action by Employee against the Company,
whether predicated upon this or any other contract, shall not constitute a
defense to the enforcement by the Company of said covenants.

              m.   RIGHT TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.  Employee recognizes and agrees
that the injury the Company will suffer in the event of the Employee's breach of
any covenant or agreement contained herein cannot be compensated by monetary
damages alone, and Employee therefore agrees that the Company, in addition and
without limiting any other remedies or rights that it may have, either under his
Agreement or otherwise, shall have the night to obtain an injunction against
Employee from any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach.

         traffic violations or (iii) upon the failure of Employee to diligently
         or competently discharge the duties assigned to him pursuant to this

         of employee cure such failure to diligently or competently discharge

         Employee of any representation or warranty made to the Company herein
         or in any other agreement, document or instrument executed by Employee
         and delivered to the Company, or should any representation or warranty
         made by Employee hereunder or thereunder prove to have been false or
         misleading in any material respect when made or furnished. Company may
         terminate pursuant to this paragraph only upon providing Employee
         written notice of request to cure such material violation, breach or
         misrepresentation and the failure of employee cure such material
         violation, breach or misrepresentation within thirty (30) days of

Paragraph 8(a)(2)(i), Employee shall be entitled only to compensation accrued
through the date of termination and all benefits accrued as of such date, and
shall not be entitled to any portion of the payment set forth in clause (ii) of
this Paragraph (b).
