        (a)  The Employee will acquire information and knowledge respecting the
             intimate and confidential affairs of the Company in the various
             phases of its business. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that he
             shall not during his employment with the Company or for twenty four
             (24) months thereafter, use for himself or disclose to any person
             not employed by the Company any such knowledge or information
             heretofore acquired or acquired during the term of this employment
             hereunder. Nothing in this agreement shall be construed to limit or
             supersede the common law of torts or statutory or other protection
             of trade secrets where such law provides the Company with greater
             protections or protections for a longer duration than that provided
             in this section 4 of this Agreement.

        (b)  The Employee agrees that all memoranda, notes, records, papers, or
             other documents and all copies thereof relating to the Company's
             operations or business, some of which may be prepared by him, and
             all objects associated therewith (such as models and samples) in
             any way obtained by him shall be the Company's property. This shall
             include, but is not limited to, documents and objects concerning
             any process, apparatus, or product manufactured, used, developed,
             investigated, or considered by the Company. The Employee shall not,
             except for Company use, copy or duplicate any of the aforementioned
             documents or objects, nor remove them from the Company's
             facilities. The Employee shall not use any
<PAGE>

             information concerning the aforementioned documents or objects,
             except for the Company's benefit, either during his employment or
             for a period of twenty four (24) months thereafter. The Employee
             agrees that he will deliver all of the aforementioned documents and
             objects that may be in his possession to the Company on termination
             of his employment, or at any other time on the Company's request,
             together with his written certification of compliance, except for
             those documents and objects received as a director of the Company.

     (c)     The terms of the provisions of this Paragraph 4(c) shall be in
             effect from the Effective Date of this Agreement through and
             including two years (2) following the termination of the employment
             of the Employee with the Company (the "Effective Period"). During
             the Effective Period, the Employee will not, without the written
             consent of the Company, either as principal, agent, consultant,
             employee, director, or otherwise, directly or indirectly, contact
             (1) any customer of the Company with whom the Employee had direct
             contact on behalf of the Company; (2) any customer of the Company
             who was contacted by an individual directly or indirectly
             supervised by the Employee; and (3) any customer of the Company
             about whom the Employee obtained non-public information in
             connection with his/her relationship with the Company, with the
             purpose or effect of causing such customer to buy or use products
             competitive with the Company's. The customer contacts/acquisition
             of knowledge described in this Paragraph 4 only apply to those
             occurring during the eighteen (18) months prior to the termination
             of Employee's relationship with the Company.

     (d)     In addition and supplemental to any obligations otherwise owed the
             Company by the Employee, the Employee agrees he will not engage in
             any business activity in the sale and distribution of educational
             equipment, supplies, materials and furniture or related internet
             market businesses which competes with the business activities of
             the Company for the Effective Period.

     (e)     During the Effective Period, the Employee will not, without the
             written consent of the Company, either as principal, agent,
             consultant, employee, director, or otherwise, directly or
             indirectly, in one or a series of transactions, solicit, induce, or
             influence any proprietor, partner, stockholder, lender, director,
             officer, employee, joint venturer, investor, lessor, independent
             contractor, supplier, customer, or any other person which has a
             business relationship with the Company, to discontinue or reduce or
             modify the extent of such relationship, with the Company.

5.   Death or Disability of the Employee. The Employee's employment shall
     -----------------------------------
     terminate immediately upon his/her death. In the event the Employee becomes

<PAGE>

     physically or mentally disabled under the terms of the then currently
     effective disability coverage for full time employees of the Company, they
     shall cease receiving compensation under the terms of this agreement. In
     the event that the Employee returns to active full time employment with the
     Company during the term of this agreement, or any extension or renewal
     thereof, they shall then be compensated for their employment under the
     terms of this agreement for their actual active employment with the
     Company.

6.   Termination. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Employee's
     -----------
     employment immediately under this agreement should any of the following
     occur:

     (a)  The Employee's commission of a felony that is an act which, in the
          opinion of the Board of Directors, is either abhorrent to the
          community or is an intentional act, which the Board of Directors
          considers materially damaging to the reputation of the Company or its
          successors or assigns.

     (b)  The Employee's breach of or failure to perform his obligations in
          accordance with the terms and conditions of this agreement or by
          mutual agreement of the parties hereto.

     (c)  The death or disability of the Employee.

     Should the term of the Employee's employment with the Company be terminated
     pursuant to the terms of Section 6(b) herein, the Company shall pay to the
     Employee the Base Salary described in Section 3(a) for a period of six (6)
     months. Termination for any other cause shall provide for no severance
     compensation.

7.   Successors and Assigns. Rights and duties under this Agreement shall be and
     ----------------------
     are binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
     respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns,
     although this agreement, and the right of the employee to act as a sales
     representative of the Company, is purely personal and not transferable.

8.   Representations of the Employee. The Employee warrants and represents to
     -------------------------------
     the Company that as of the Effective Date, he/she is not subject to any
     employment, consulting or services agreement, or any restrictive covenants
     or agreements of any type which would conflict or prohibit the Employee
     from fully carrying our their duties as described under the terms of this
     agreement. Further the Employee warrants and represents to the Company that
     he/she has not and will not retain or use, for the benefit of the Company,
     any confidential information, records, trade secrets, or other property of
     a former employer. Further the Employee represents to the Company and
     acknowledges that he/she approached the Company for the opportunity of
     employment with the Company and that the Company in no way actively
     solicited the Employee to become employed with the Company or to terminate
     their employment with any former employer. These warranties and
<PAGE>

         representations shall remain in full force and effect beyond the term
         of the employment of the Employee with the Company.
