substantially perform his duties with the Company (other than such failure
resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness) (b) Executive's

time upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Company, subject to the terms
and provisions below.

         Other than termination "without cause", as contained in Section 4.4 of

times the annual base salary of Executive, as contained in Section 3.1 of this
Agreement, or Executive's then current rate of compensation, whichever is
greater. For purposes of this Section 4.6, a "change of control" shall mean an
event involving one transaction or a series of related transactions in which (i)
the Company or AremisSoft issues securities equal to more than fifty percent
(50%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company or AremisSoft

transferred.

         4.7. DISABILITY. If Executive becomes permanently and totally disabled,
this Agreement shall be terminated. Executive shall be deemed permanently and
totally disabled if he is unable to engage in the activities required by this
Agreement by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment,
as confirmed by three independent physicians, which can be expected to result in
death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of
not less than 12 months. Upon termination due to disability, Executive shall be
entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to his annual base salary, as
contained in Section 3.1 of this Agreement, then in effect.

obligation which is required or contemplated hereunder to be performed after
termination, and any such obligation shall survive the termination of employment
and this Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE V
                    COVENANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS OF EMPLOYEE

         5.1. UNFAIR AND NON-COMPETITION. The Executive acknowledges that he
will have access at the highest level to, and the opportunity to acquire
knowledge of, the Company's customer lists, customer needs, business plans,
trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information from which the
Company may derive economic or competitive advantage, and that he is entering
into the covenants and representations in this Article V in order to preserve
the goodwill and going concern value of the Company, and to induce the Company
to enter into this Agreement. The Executive agrees not to compete with the
Company or to engage in any unfair competition with the Company during the
Employment Term, but not limited to the acts and conduct described below.

         5.2. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. During the Employment Term, Executive
agrees to keep secret and to retain in the strictest confidence all confidential
matters which relate to the Company or its "affiliate" (as that term is defined
in the Exchange Act), including, without limitation, customer lists, client
lists, trade secrets, pricing lists, business plans, financial projections and
reports, business strategies, internal operating procedures, and other
confidential business information from which the Company derives an economic or
competitive advantage, or from which the Company might derive such advantage in
its business, labeled "secret" or "confidential" or some similar term, and not
to disclose any such information to anyone outside of the Company, whether
during or after the Employment Term, except as required in connection with
performing the services to the Company.

         5.3. NON-SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS. During the Employment Term, the
Executive will have access to confidential records and data pertaining to the
Company's customers, their needs, and the relationship between the Company and
its customers. Such information is considered secret and is disclosed during the
Employment Term in confidence. Accordingly, during the Employment Term,
Executive and any entity controlled by him or with which he is associated (as
the terms "control" and "associate" are defined in the Exchange Act) shall not,
directly or indirectly (i) solicit for a competitive purpose, interfere with,
induce or entice away any person or entity that is or was a client, customer or
agent of the Company or its affiliates (as the term "affiliate" is defined in
the Exchange Act), or (ii) in any manner persuade or attempt to persuade any
such person or entity (A) to discontinue its business relationship with the
Company or its affiliates, or (B) to enter into a business relationship with any
other entity or person the loss of which the Executive should reasonably
anticipate would be detrimental to the Company or its affiliates in any respect.

         5.4. NON-SOLICITATION OF EXECUTIVES. The Executive and any entity
controlled by him or with which he is associated (as the terms "control" and
"associate" are defined in the Exchange Act) shall not, during the Employment
Term, directly or indirectly solicit, interfere with, offer to hire or induce
any person who is or was an officer or employee of the Company or any affiliate
(as the term "affiliate" is defined in the Exchange Act) (other than secretarial
personnel) to discontinue his or her relationship with the Company or an
affiliate of the Company, in order to accept employment by, or enter into a
business relationship with, any other entity or person. (These acts are
hereinafter referred to as the "prohibited acts of solicitation.") The foregoing
restriction, however, shall not apply to any business with which Executive may
become associated after the Employment Term.

         5.5. RETURN OF PROPERTY. Upon termination of employment, and at the
request of the Company, the Executive agrees to promptly deliver to the Company
all Company or affiliate memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings,
designs, computer files in any media, and other documents (including extracts
and copies thereof) relating to the Company or its affiliates, and all other
property of the Company.

         5.6. INVENTIONS. All processes, inventions, patents, copyrights,
trademarks, and other intangible rights that may be conceived or developed by
the Executive, either alone or with others, during the Employment Term, whether
or not conceived or developed during Executive's working hours, and with respect
to which the equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information of the
Company was used, or that relate at the time of conception or reduction to
practice of the invention to the business of the Company, or to the Company's
actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or that result from
any work performed by Executive for the Company, shall be the sole property of
the Company. Upon the request of the Company, Executive shall disclose to the
Company all inventions or ideas conceived during the Employment Term, whether or
not the property of the Company under the terms of this provision, provided that
such disclosure shall be received by the Company in confidence. Upon the request
of the Company, Executive shall execute all documents, including patent
applications and assignments, required by the Company to establish the Company's
rights under this provision.

         5.7. REPRESENTATIONS. The Executive represents and warrants to the
Company that he has full power to enter into this Agreement and perform his
duties hereunder, and that his execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
performance of his duties shall not result in a breach of, or constitute a
default under, any agreement or understanding, whether oral or written,
including, without limitation, any restrictive covenant or confidentiality
agreement, to which he is a party or by which he may be bound.

         5.8. NON-PAYMENT UPON NON-COMPLIANCE. Should Executive breach any one
of the covenants set forth in this Article V, the Company shall have no
obligation to make the payments or to provide Executive the benefits described
in Sections 4.4 or 4.6 above, as applicable, in addition to all other rights and
remedies the Company may have available at law or in equity. The Company shall
provide written notice to Executive, ten (10) days prior to an expected payment,
of the breach of a covenant and the ensuing non-payment thereof; provided,
however, that if the Company learns

                                       7
<PAGE>   8
of the breach without sufficient time to provide ten (10) days notice, the
Company shall provide written notice as soon thereafter as practicable.

such restrictions shall apply as so modified, or if such provisions cannot be
amended, they shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions and the
remaining provisions shall be fully enforceable in accordance with law.

         6.5. EFFECT OF WAIVER. The failure of either party to insist on strict
