     7.   Termination of Employment.
          -------------------------

               ---------------------
Agreement may be terminated For Cause at any time, effective upon written notice

-------

               (i)     The Company may, at any time, terminate this Agreement
without Cause on written notice to Executive. For purposes hereof, the
termination of this Agreement by Executive at his initiative following the date
on which he learns of the occurrence of any of the following events shall
constitute termination without Cause:

                       (A)    a reduction in Executive's then current Base
Salary, which reduction is not the result of across-the-board Company action
reducing current Base Salary;

                       (B)    the removal of Executive as President and Chief
Operating Officer of the Company;

                       (C)    a material diminution in Executive's duties or the
assignment to Executive of duties that materially impair his ability to perform
the duties normally assigned to a person of his title and position at a
corporation of the size and nature of the Company; and

                       (D)    the failure of the Company to obtain by operation
of law or otherwise the assumption of its obligations to perform this Agreement
from any successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
within forty-five (45) days after a merger, consolidation, sale or similar
transaction; and

                       (E)    the relocation of the Company's principal office
to a location more than fifty (50) miles from New York, New York.

               (ii)    If Executive's employment is terminated without Cause
(for any reason other than termination following Change of Control as defined in
Section 7(d) hereof),

                       (A)    the Company shall pay to Executive as liquidated
damages an amount equal to two (2) years of Executive's Base Salary and a pro-
rata portion of any bonus earned by Executive (and not yet paid) provided that
any targets or other requirements set by the Board of Directors in connection
with the grant of such bonus have been met on a pro-rata basis;

                       (B)    the Company shall pay to Executive any other
amount (including any portion of Base Salary) earned, accrued or owing to
Executive through the date of termination but not yet paid; and

                       (C)    vested stock options shall remain exercisable for
the remainder of their terms and granted but unvested options which would vest
by their

                                       3
<PAGE>

terms within 12 months of any such termination without Cause shall automatically
vest and shall remain exercisable for the remainder of their terms.

          Amounts payable hereunder shall be paid in monthly installments or, at
the option of the Company, in a lump sum.

          (c)  Termination Upon Death or Disability. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically upon Executive's death. In the event of termination of
Executive's employment as a result of death, the Company shall (i) continue to
pay to Executive's estate, on a monthly basis, his Base Salary for a period of
six (6) months from the date of death and (ii) any other amounts earned, accrued
or owing to Executive under this Agreement through the date of death but not yet
paid. Furthermore, all stock options vested at the time of death shall remain
exercisable for the remainder of the terms relating to such stock options.

          This Agreement shall terminate at the option of the Company if
Executive shall suffer "disability." For purpose hereof, "disability" shall be
defined to mean Executive's inability, due to physical or mental incapacity, to
substantially perform his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement for a
period of sixty (60) days from the date of such disability as determined by an
approved medical doctor selected by the mutual agreement of the parties hereto.
In the event that the parties hereto cannot agree on an approved medical doctor,
each party shall select a medical doctor and the two doctors shall select a
third medical doctor who shall serve as the approved medical doctor hereunder.
The Company shall notify Executive in writing of its decision to terminate this
Agreement due to Executive's disability. In the event of termination of
Executive's employment as a result of "disability," the Company shall (i) pay to
Executive, on a monthly basis, for a period of six (6) months from the date of
disability, an amount equal to his monthly Base Salary minus any monthly payment
received by Executive from any Company purchased disability policy and (ii)
continue Executive's participation in Company benefit plans in which he
participated immediately prior to such termination for a period equal to the
lessor of (A) twelve (12) months or (B) the remainder of the term of this
Agreement. Furthermore, upon any such termination by reason of "disability," all
vested stock options shall remain exercisable for the remainder of their
respective terms.

          (d)  Change of Control. If, within twelve (12) months after a Change
               -----------------
of Control of the Company (as hereinafter defined) (i) Executive is no longer
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, or the surviving entity of
such transaction (without regard to any parent/subsidiary relationship) for any
reason other than expiration of the Term of this Agreement, (ii) Executive's
duties or responsibilities are substantially and materially diminished, or (iii)
Executive's current position in the chain of command of the Company or surviving
entity of such transactions (without regard to any parent/subsidiary
relationship) is materially diminished, Executive may be conclusively deemed, in
the sole discretion of Executive, to have been terminated without cause and
shall therefore be entitled to the benefits set forth in Sections 7(b)(ii)(B)
and 7(b)(ii)(C)

                                       4

hereof. Furthermore, upon any such termination, stock options granted but not
yet vested which would vest by their terms within 12 months of such termination
without Cause shall automatically vest and shall remain exercisable for the
remainder of their terms. Executive shall give the Board of Directors of the
Company or any surviving entity, written notice of his termination without cause
hereunder and exercise of his rights under Section 7(b) hereof.

          For purposes of this Agreement, "Change of Control" shall be deemed to
occur if any of the following have occurred:

               (i)     any "person," as such term is currently used in Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes a "beneficial owner," as
such term is currently used in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under that Act of fifty
percent (50%) or more of the Voting Stock of the Company. For purposes of this
Agreement, Voting Stock shall mean the issued and outstanding capital stock or
other securities of any class or classes having general voting power under
ordinary circumstances, in the absence of contingencies, to elect the directors
of a corporation.

               (ii)    a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company
consists of individuals other than Incumbent Directors, which term means the
members of the Board on the date hereof; provided that any individual becoming a
director subsequent to such date whose election or nomination for election was
supported by two-thirds of the directors who then comprised the Incumbent
Directors shall be considered to be an Incumbent Director;

               (iii)   the Board of Directors of the Company adopts any plan of
liquidation providing for the distribution of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets;

               (iv)    all or substantially all of the assets or business of the
Company are disposed of in any one or more transactions pursuant to a merger,
consolidation or other transaction (unless the shareholders of the Company
immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other transaction
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in substantially the same proportion
as they owned the Voting Stock of the Company, all of the Voting Stock or other
ownership interests of the entity or entities, if any, that succeed to the
business of the Company); or

               (v)     the Company combines with another company and is the
surviving corporation but, immediately after the combination, the shareholders
of the Company immediately prior to the combination hold, directly or
indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or less of the Voting Stock of the combined
company, (there being excluded from the number of shares held by such
shareholders, but not from the Voting Stock of the combined company, any shares
received by affiliates of such other company in exchange for securities of such
other company).

Agreement, he will not solicit or encourage any person who, on the date of the
end of the Term or the date of termination under this Agreement, was an employee
of the Company (or its subsidiaries, affiliated companies or divisions) to:

               (ii)    become affiliated with any company or business which is
in a similar business to that of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries,
affiliated companies or divisions) or in which Executive, either directly or
indirectly (as an agent, employee, director, officer, stockholder, partner or
individual proprietor, or as an investor who has made advances on loans or
contributions to capital), has an interest.

     9.   Indemnification. The Company will indemnify Executive to the fullest

injury to the Company and that Executive agrees that, in any case, the Company

Company may have at law or in equity, an injunction enjoining and restraining
Executive from doing or continuing to do any act which violates any provision of
