     7. SEVERANCE COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION.

               (a) In the event of the Company's termination of Executive's
employment hereunder prior to the expiration of the Employment Period for any
reason, the Company shall have no liability or obligation to Executive other
than as specifically set forth in this Section 7.

               (b) Upon the termination by the Company of Executive's employment
hereunder pursuant to Section 6(a), 6(b), or 6(c), or the termination by
Executive of Executive's employment hereunder for any reason other than as set
forth in Section 6(d), Executive shall not be entitled to severance
compensation; provided, however, Executive (or Executive's heirs or legal
representatives) shall be entitled to receive any and all other benefits to
which Executive shall be entitled pursuant to the terms of any employee benefit
plans or other agreements of the Company in which Executive is a participant or
to which Executive is a party.

               (c) Upon the termination of Executive's employment hereunder
either by the Company for any reason other than pursuant to Sections 6(a), 6(b)
or 6(c), including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6(e), or by
Executive pursuant to Section 6(d), then the following shall apply as severance
compensation in lieu of any further salary payments to Executive and the
continuation of any Company paid benefits for periods subsequent to the date of
the termination of Executive's employment (the "Date of Termination"):

                    (i) Executive shall be entitled to receive a lump sum
          severance payment equal to one and one-half times Executive's Base
          Salary in effect on the Date of Termination;

                    (ii) Executive shall receive any accrued and unpaid vacation
          pay or other benefits to which Executive has become entitled prior to
          the Date of Termination;

                    (iv) all of Executive's stock options with respect to the
          Company's stock shall become immediately and fully exercisable and
          shall continue to be exercisable pursuant to their terms and the terms
          of applicable stock option plan.

               (d) If the severance compensation under this Section 7, either
alone or together with other payments to Executive from the Company, would
constitute an "excess


                                       5
<PAGE>

parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code")), such severance compensation shall be reduced to
the largest amount that will result in no portion of the severance compensation
payments under this Section 7 being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section
4999 of the Code or being disallowed as deductions to the Company under Section
280G of the Code.

               (e) The severance compensation provided for in this Section 7
shall be paid in a lump sum eight (8) days after Executive signs and returns to
the Company (i) a Confidential Severance Agreement in the form of Exhibit "A"
hereto ("Severance Agreement"), and (ii) a letter in the form of Exhibit "B"
hereto confirming that Executive did not exercise a right of rescission as
provided for in the Severance Agreement. In consideration of the payments
provided for in this Agreement, Executive expressly waives any rights under any
formal or informal, written or unwritten, severance policy, severance program or
severance plan that would otherwise provide benefits or payments to Executive
because of Executive's termination of employment with the Company. Executive
understands that all payments made by the Company under this Agreement may be
subject to withholding and standard payroll deductions for federal and state
taxes.

               (f) Upon the termination of Executive's employment hereunder for
any reason, Executive shall immediately surrender to the Company all notes,
data, sketches, drawings, manuals, documents, records, data bases, programs,
blueprints, memoranda, specifications, customer lists, financial reports,
equipment and all other physical forms of expression incorporating or containing
any Confidential Information (as defined in Section 8 hereof), it being
distinctly understood that all such writings, physical forms of expression and
other things are exclusive property of the Company.

               (g) If the Company terminates Without Cause the Executive's
employment under this Agreement, or if the Executive terminates such Employment
For Cause, then upon either such event the Company shall continue at its sole
expense to provide the Executive and his family with such medical, dental,
vision and life insurance coverage as the Company would be obligated to provide
hereunder if the Executive had remained employed pursuant to this Agreement, for
a period ending upon the termination of the Initial Term;

     8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

               (a) Executive recognizes and acknowledges that during the course
of Executive's employment with the Company, Executive shall have access to
Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means all information or
material not publicly known about the Company or relating to any of its

                                       6
<PAGE>

confidential and proprietary to the Company. Confidential Information includes,
but is not limited to, the following types of information and other information
of a similar nature (whether or not reduced to writing): trade secrets,
inventions, drawings, file data, documentation, diagrams, specifications,
know-how, processes, formulas, models, flow charts, software in various stages
of development, source codes, object codes, research and development procedures,
test results, marketing techniques and materials, marketing and development
plans, price lists, pricing policies, business plans, information relating to
customers and/or suppliers' identities, characteristics and agreements,
financial information and projections and employee files. Confidential
Information also includes any information described above which the Company
obtains from another party and which the Company treats and/or has an obligation
to treat as proprietary or designates as Confidential Information, whether or
not owned or developed by the Company. Confidential Information shall not
include any information which is or becomes (i) generally available to the
public other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Agreement, or
(ii) generally known in the industry in which the Company is or may become
involved other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Agreement.

InternetStudios.com, Inc., but also any company, partnership or entity which,
directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control
with InternetStudios.com, Inc.)

               (b) Both during the Employment Period and at all times
thereafter, all Confidential Information which Executive may now possess, may
obtain during or after the Employment Period, or may create prior to the end of
the Employment Period will be held confidential by Executive, and Executive will
not (nor will Executive assist any other person to do so), directly or
indirectly, (i) reveal, report, publish or disclose such Confidential
Information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for
any reason or purpose whatsoever (other than in the course of carrying out
Executive's duties hereunder or as expressly authorized by the Company), (ii)
render any services to any person, firm, corporation, association or other
entity to whom any such Confidential Information, in whole or in part, has been
disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed by or at the instance of Executive,
or (iii) use such Confidential Information except for the benefit of the Company
and in the course of Executive's employment with the Company; provided, however
that the foregoing will not apply to the extent Executive is required to
disclose any Confidential Information by applicable law or legal process so long
as Executive promptly notifies the Company of such pending disclosure and
consults with the Company prior to such disclosure concerning the advisability
of seeking a protective order or other means of preserving the confidentiality
of the Confidential Information.

               (c) All memoranda, notes, lists, records and other documents (and
all copies thereof) constituting Confidential Information made or compiled by
Executive or made available to Executive during or after the Employment Period
shall be the Company's property, shall be kept confidential in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 8 and shall be delivered to the Company at any
time on request and in any event upon the termination of Executive's employment
with the Company for any reason.

     9. COVENANT AGAINST COMPETITION; NON-SOLICITATION. Executive covenants and
agrees that:


                                       7
<PAGE>

               (a) During the Non-Compete Period (as hereinafter defined),
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, in any Geographic Area (as
hereinafter defined): (i) engage for Executive's own account in any business
directly or indirectly competitive with the Company Business (as hereinafter
defined); (ii) render any services in any capacity to any person or entity
(other than the Company or its Affiliates) engaged in any business directly or
indirectly competitive with the Company Business; or (iii) acquire an interest
in any person or entity engaged in any business directly or indirectly
competitive with the Company Business (other than the Company) as a partner,
shareholder, director, officer, employee, principal, manager, member, agent,
trustee, consultant or in any other relationship or capacity; provided, however,
Executive may own, directly or indirectly, solely as a passive investment,
securities of any such entity which are traded on any national securities
exchange if Executive (A) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group
which controls, such entity, and (B) does not, directly or indirectly, own 1% or
more of any class of securities of such entity.

               (b) During the Non-Compete Period, Executive shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, knowingly
solicit or encourage any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to
leave the employment of the Company or any of its Affiliates, hire any employee
who has left the employment of the Company or any of its Affiliates within one
year of the termination of such employee's employment with the Company or any of
its Affiliates, or solicit any customer, client or account of the Company.


               (c) During any portion of the Non-Compete Period during which
Executive is not employed by the Company, Executive shall not, in any Geographic
Area, directly or indirectly, knowingly solicit or encourage any customer or
client of the Company to engage the services of Executive or any person or
entity (other than the Company) in which Executive is a partner, shareholder,
director, officer, employee, principal, member, manager, agent, trustee,
consultant or engaged in any other relationship or capacity.

               (d) If any provision of Sections 8 or 9 (the "Restrictive
Covenants") are held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration, area of
its applicability or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties that the
court making such determination shall modify such scope, duration or area, or
all of them, and that such provision shall then be applicable in such modified
form. Executive hereby waives any and all right to attack the validity of the
Restrictive Covenants on the grounds of breadth of their geographic scope or the
length of their term.


               (e) As used herein:

                    (i) "Affiliate" shall mean any entity directly or indirectly
     controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company and
     any


                                       8
<PAGE>

     entity in which the Company is a general partner, member, manager or holder
     of greater than a 10% common equity, partnership or membership interest.

                    (ii) "Company Business" shall mean the business of the
     Company at the time a violation of this Section 9 is alleged to occur or,
     if such alleged occurrence is after Executive's employment is terminated,
     the business of the Company at the time such employment terminates.

                    (iii) "Geographic Area" shall mean the world.

                    (iv) "Non-Compete Period" shall mean the period during which
     Executive is employed by the Company and for an additional period of one
     year following the termination of Executive's employment with the Company.

     10. ENFORCEMENT BY INJUNCTION. Since the Company will be irreparably
damaged if the provisions of Sections 8 or 9 are not specifically enforced, the
Company shall be entitled to (i) an injunction or any other appropriate decree
of specific performance (without the necessity of posting any bond or other
security in connection therewith) restraining any violation or non-fulfillment
of Executive's covenants under Sections 8 or 9, (ii) damages in an amount equal
to all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits
derived or received by Executive (or any associated party deriving such
benefits) as a result of any such breach of Executive's covenants under Sections
8 or 9, and (iii) indemnification against any other losses, damages, costs and
expenses, including actual attorneys' fees and court costs, which may be
incurred by the Company and which result from or arise out of any such breach of
Executive's covenants under Sections 8 or 9. Such remedies shall not be
exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy, at law or in equity,
which the Company may have for any breach or threatened breach of Sections 8 or
9 by Executive.

     11. NO OBLIGATION TO MITIGATE DAMAGES; NO EFFECT ON OTHER CONTRACTUAL
RIGHTS.

               (a) Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the
amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under
this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result
of employment by another employer after the termination of Executive's
employment, or otherwise.

               (b) The provisions of this Agreement, and any payment provided
for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way
diminish Executive's existing rights, or rights which would accrue solely as a
result of the passage of time, under any benefit or incentive plan or
arrangement, plan or arrangement to receive securities of the Company,
employment agreement or other contract, plan or arrangement of the Company.


     12. SUCCESSORS.

               (a) The Company will require any successor or assign (whether
direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all the


                                       9
<PAGE>

business and/or assets of the Company by agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Executive, to expressly, absolutely and unconditionally assume
and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent
that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or
assignment had taken place. Any failure of the Company to obtain such agreement
prior to the effectiveness of any such succession or assignment shall be a
material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive to terminate
Executive's employment as provided for in Section 6 hereof. As used in this
Agreement, the "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any
successor or assign to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes
and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 12 or which otherwise
becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of

Directors of the Company; provided however, that the Company shall have no
obligation to indemnify the Executive for such expenses, judgments, fines,

in defending any such proceedings to the maximum extent provided by law;
provided however, that the Executive is not entitled to indemnification in
accordance with the preceding sentence. The Company's obligations under this
Section shall not cease upon termination of this Agreement.
