            32. Confidentiality. Executive covenants and agrees with Employer
that Executive will not, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter

(except to the extent reasonably necessary for Executive to perform Executive's
duties hereunder, except as required by law or except if generally available to
the public otherwise than through use, communication, disclosure or
dissemination by Executive) any Confidential Information (as hereinafter
defined) concerning the businesses or affairs of Employer which Executive may
have acquired in the course of or as incident to Executive's employment or prior
dealings with Employer.

      "Confidential Information" shall mean (a) all knowledge, information and
material concerning any of Employer's business or the business of any of its
affiliates or subsidiaries that shall become known to Executive as a consequence
of Executive's relationship with Employer, (b) all information that has been
disclosed to Employer by any third party under an agreement or circumstances
requiring such information to be kept confidential, and (c) all knowledge,
information or material concerning inventions that are, under this Agreement,
owned by Employer or assigned by Executive to Employer; provided,
<PAGE>

that Confidential Information shall not include knowledge, information or
material that is or becomes generally known or available to others in businesses
engaged in by Employer to the public (other than through unauthorized
disclosure). Confidential Information shall include without limitation (a)
information of a technical nature, such as information regarding past, present
and future research, financial data, product information, marketing plans,
computer programs (whether in source or object code form or other form and
whether contained on program listings, magnetic tape, magnetic disks, CD ROMs or
other media), logic, flow charts, specifications, documentation and ideas
relating to the activities of Employer, (b) information of a business nature,
such as information regarding past, present and future client development,
strategies, procurement specifications, cost and financial data, contracts,
quotations and names of actual and prospective clients or customers, and (c) all
documents, drawings, reports, customer lists (including, without limitation,
those relating to the acquired business of Employer), and other physical
embodiments of all such information.

            33. Non-Competition. Executive acknowledges that Executive's
services and responsibilities are of particular significance to Employer and
that Executive's position with Employer has given and will give Executive close
knowledge of Employer's policies and trade secrets.

      Since Employer is in a creative and competitive business, Executive's
continued and exclusive service to Employer under this Agreement is of a high
degree of importance.

            Executive covenants and agrees with Employer that Executive will
not, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of twenty-four months
after the termination of Executive's employment hereunder, in any manner,
directly or indirectly, (i) induce or attempt to influence any present or future
officer, employee, lessor, lessee, licensor or licensee of Employer to leave its
employment or solicit or divert or service any of the customers or clients that
Employer has or had in the one (1) year previous to the date of termination of
this Agreement, (ii) engage, in North America or any other territory in which
Employer does business, in any businesses presently engaged in or to be engaged
in by Employer during the term of this Agreement, and (iii) except for ownership
of no more than 1% of the capital stock, be a stockholder of any corporation, or
directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, conduct,
<PAGE>

control or participate in the ownership, management, operation, conduct, control
of, accept employment with, or be connected in any other manner with, any
business which engages in any direct competitive activity in any of the product
categories in which Employer currently sells or shall sell at any time during
the Term in any such geographic region. The non-competition restrictions
continued in this paragraph 11 shall also apply to any activities of CYSP in
which Executive engages on behalf of Employer or CYSP. Notwithstanding the
foregoing if Executive is terminated without cause or terminates his employment
for Good Reason, the non-competition provisions contained in this paragraph 11
shall terminate as of the effective date of such termination.

            34. Remedies. Executive acknowledges that the remedy at law for any
breach or threatened breach by Executive of the covenants contained in
paragraphs 10 and 11 would be wholly inadequate, and therefore Employer shall be
entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance
thereof. Paragraphs 10 and 11 constitute independent and separable covenants
that shall be enforceable notwithstanding rights or remedies that Employer may
have under any other provision of this Agreement, or otherwise. If any or all of
the foregoing provisions of paragraphs 10 and 11 are held to be unenforceable
for any reason whatsoever, it shall not in any way invalidate or affect the
remainder or this Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect. If the
period of time or geographical areas specified in paragraphs 10 and 11 are
determined to be unreasonable in any judicial proceeding, the period of time or
areas of restriction shall be reduced so that this Agreement may be enforced in
such areas and during
<PAGE>

such period of time as shall be determined to be reasonable.

            35. Full Review. Executive has carefully read and considered the
provisions hereof, and having done so, agrees that restrictions and remedies set
forth in paragraphs 10, 11 and 12 (including, but not limited to, the time
periods of restrictions) are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for
the protection of the interests of Employer.

            36. Representation. Executive represents and warrants to Employer
that Executive is not now under any obligation of a contractual or other nature
to any person, firm or corporation which is inconsistent or in conflict with
this Agreement, or which would prevent, limit or impair in any way the execution
of this Agreement or the performance by Executive of Executive's obligations
hereunder and Executive will indemnify and hold harmless Employer, its
directors, officers and employees against and in respect of all liability, loss,
damage, expense or deficiency resulting from any material misrepresentation or
material breach of this paragraph 14 by Executive.

            37. Waiver. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision
of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach thereof.

            38. Notices. Any and all notices referred to herein shall be
sufficient if furnished in writing and sent by confirmed fax, by nationally
recognized overnight courier with delivery receipt confirmed, or by certified
mail, return receipt requested,
