provided,  that,  the  Employment Period shall automatically extend for one year
unless  either the Company or Executive provides written notice to the other not
to further extend the Employment Period thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
of  the  term.

     3. Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve
        --------------------
as  Chief  Technical Officer, and shall report either to the Company's President
or  Chief  Executive  Officer.  Executive shall devote 100% of his working time,

discretion  review  Executive's Base Salary for increase annually and consistent
with  the  compensation  practices and guidelines of the Company. If Executive's
Base  Salary  is increased by the Company, such increased Base Salary shall then
constitute  the  Base  Salary for all purposes of this Agreement. In addition to
Base  Salary,  Executive  may be eligible for certain bonus payments at the sole
discretion  of  the  Board  of  Directors.

         (b)   Expenses.  The Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all
               ---------
reasonable  business  expenses  upon  the  presentation  of  reasonably itemized
statements  of  such  expenses  in  accordance  with  the Company's policies and
procedures  now in force or as such policies and procedures may be modified with
respect  to  all  employees  of  the  Company.

              ---------
offered  by  the  Company from time to time to other employees of the Company at
the  same  level  as  the Executive, which at the date hereof are those benefits
described  in  Schedule  A  hereto.

     6.  Termination.  Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated during
         ------------
the  Employment  Period  under  the  following  circumstances:

         (a)   Death.  Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate upon his
               ------
death.

         (b)   Disability.  If,  as  a  result  of Executive's incapacity due to
               -----------
physical  or  mental  illness, Executive shall have been substantially unable to
perform  his  duties  hereunder  for  an  entire period of three (3) consecutive
months, and within thirty (30) days after written Notice of Termination is given
after  such  three  (3)  month  period, Executive shall not have returned to the
substantial  performance  of  his duties on a full-time basis, the Company shall
have  the  right to terminate Executive's employment hereunder for "Disability",
and  such  termination  in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to
be,  a  breach  of  this  Agreement.

         (c)   Cause.  The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive's
               ------
employment  for  Cause.  Cause  is  defined  as:

              (i)   final  conviction  of  or  plea of guilty or no contest to a
     felony  involving  moral  turpitude;  or

              (ii)   willful  misconduct  that  is  materially  and demonstrably
     injurious  economically  to  the  Company.

          (d)  Good  Reason.  Executive  may  terminate his employment for "Good
               -------------
Reason"  within  thirty  (30)  days  after Executive has actual knowledge of the
occurrence,  without  the  written  consent  of  Executive,  of  any breach of a
material  provision  of  this  Agreement  by  the  Company or any Affiliate. For
greater  certainty,  the  failure  of  the Executive to terminate his employment
within  thirty  (30)  days  of  his  actual knowledge of "Good Reason" shall not
preclude  the Executive from subsequently terminating his employment pursuant to
this  Section  6(d),  provided  that  he  does so within thirty (30) days of his
actual  knowledge  of  the  occurrence  or  reoccurrence  of  "Good  Reason".

          (e)  Without  Cause.  Subject to Section 10(a), the Company shall have
               ---------------
the  right  to  terminate  Executive's  employment  hereunder  without  Cause by
providing Executive with a Notice of Termination at least thirty (30) days prior
to  such  termination,  and  such termination shall not in and of itself be, nor
shall  it  be  deemed  to  be,  a  breach  of  this  Agreement.

          (e)  Without  Good Reason. Executive shall have the right to terminate
               ---------------------
his  employment  hereunder  without  Good Reason by providing the Company with a
Notice  of


                                        2
<PAGE>
Termination  at  least  thirty  (30)  days  prior  to such termination, and such
termination  shall  not  in  and  of  itself be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a
breach  of  this  Agreement.

         ---------------------------------------
any  proprietary  information  owned  by  the  Company  must  be  held in strict
confidence  both  during and after employment.  Executive also acknowledges that
any  inventions  or proprietary processes, patentable or otherwise, are and will
remain  the property of the Company.  Executive agrees to assign to theglobe.com
any  inventions  or  proprietary  processes,  patentable  or  otherwise, created
through  Executive's  work  with  the  Company.

     8.  Non-Compete. Executive shall not be permitted to seek employment in the
         ------------
Digital  Telephony  industry  in  any  capacity  for  a  period  of:

               (i)  One  (1)  year  following  termination  without Cause by the
